< Revelation 11 >
1 [An angel gave] to me a reed similar to a measuring stick. He said [to me], “[Christ says this: ‘Go] to the temple [where people worship] God, measure it and the altar [in it], and count the people who worship there.
Caityng a myihna ak awm thikdyng pynoet ce ani peek coengawh, “Cet nawhtaw Khawsa a tempul ingkaw bawkthang ce tah lah, cekcoengawh vawh Khawsa ak beek thlangkhqi ce toek lah.
2 But do not measure the courtyard outside [of the temple] [DOU], because [it] has been given {[God] has given it} to [the] non-Jewish [people. As a result], they will trample [Jerusalem city] for 42 months.
Cehlai a leng ben taw koeh pa sak; koeh tah, cetaw Gentelkhqi hamna ni. Cekkhqi ing khawk bau ciim ce nyn 42 khui khaw ing leh kawm uh.
3 I will appoint my two (witnesses/men who will tell others about me). They will proclaim what I reveal to them for 1,260 days. They will wear [rough] clothes made from goat’s hair [to show that they are sad about people’s sin].’”
Cekcoengawh kai ing ka mah a dyihthing thlang pakkhih a venawh saithainaak pe kawng nyng saw cekqawi ing tlamhi bai kawm nihsaw, khawnghi 1260 khui awi kqawn kawm nih,” ni tina hy.
4 Those [witnesses are the ones] that are represented by the two olive trees and the two lampstands that are in the presence of the Lord [who rules] the earth [SYM].
Vekkqawi vetaw khawmdek Bawi a haiawh ak dyi olive thing pakkhih ingkaw mai vangnaak pakkhih na awm hy.
5 If enemies try to harm those [witnesses], fire will come from the mouths of the witnesses and destroy them. If people want to harm them, [the two witnesses] will certainly kill them similarly.
U ingawm cekqawi ce tlawhnat sak aham a ngaih awhtaw, am khak khui awhkawng maikqawng ce thoeng sak nih nawh a qaalkhqi ce daih hy nih. U awm cekqawi ce tlawhnat sak aham ak ngaih taw cemyihna ce thi kaw.
6 Those [witnesses] will have authority to keep rain from falling during the time that they are proclaiming what God reveals to them. They also will have authority to cause water [everywhere] to become [red like] [MET] blood, and [authority] to cause all kinds of plagues to occur. They will do this as often as they want to.
Awi ani phawng khuiawh awm ama aanaak aham khan chawh ce khai hy nih; tui awm thi na thoeng sak thai nih nawh ani ngaihnaak a myihna khawmdek awh tlawhnat soepkep ce law sak thai hy nih.
7 When they have finished proclaiming [to people the message from God], the beast that comes up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit) will attack them, overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos )
Cekkqawi ing awi anik kqawn boet coeng awhtaw, a dytnaak amak awm lawk-kqawng dung khuiawh kawng ak thoeng law ramsa tlung ing cekqawi ce tuk kaw, noeng kawmsaw cekqawi ce him kaw. (Abyssos )
8 The dead bodies of the [two] witnesses will lie in the street of the great city where their Lord was crucified, the city that is symbolically named Sodom or Egypt [because its people are very evil, like the people who lived in Sodom and Egypt].
Cekkqawi a pum ce khawk bau awhkaw lam awh helh hyt kawm uh, cawhkaw khawk bau ce ikaw mih nu ti kqawn nytnaak na Sodom ingkaw Izip tinawh khy uhy, cawh cekqawi a Bawipa awm thinglam awh ana tai uhy.
9 Individuals of many people-[groups], tribes, language [groups] [MTY], and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days. But these individuals will not allow [anyone] to bury their bodies.
Khaw nyn thum coengawh kekvang thlang tawm, phynlum, awi cawm awi ce ing qampum awhkaw thlangkhqi ing mikkel ing qym kawm usaw cekqawi a qawk ce vui aham thana kawm uh.
10 When the [rebellious] people who live on the earth [see that the witnesses are dead], they will rejoice and celebrate. They will send gifts to each other, because these two prophets had [caused plagues to occur which] tormented the [rebellious] people on the earth.
Cawhkaw tawngha qawi ing khawmdek awh ak awm thlangkhqi ce ana thekhanaak hawh a dawngawh thlangkhqi ing cekqawi ak khanawh zeel kawm usaw pynoet ingkaw pynoet kutdo ik-oeih pat qu kawm uh.
11 But after three and a half days, God will cause those two witnesses to breathe again and live. They will stand up, and those who see them will be terrified.
Cehlai nyn thum coengawh kengvang a awm coeng awhtaw cekqawi ing Khawsa venna kaw hqingnaak hqi ce hu tlaih nih nawh ani khaw ing dyi hy nih, cawh ak hukhqi ing kqih uhy.
12 The [two witnesses] will hear a loud voice which came from heaven saying to them: “Come up here!” Then they will go up to heaven in a cloud. Their enemies will see them [as they ascend].
Cawh khan benna kawng awi khawteh na, “Hang law lah,” a ti awi ce za hy nih. A qaalkhqi ing ami toek huili awh khan khawnghi myi awh hang kai hy nih.
13 At that same time there will be a terrible earthquake, which will cause a tenth of [the buildings in] [MTY] the city will collapse, and 7,000 people will die. The rest of the people will be afraid and [acknowledge] that the God [who rules in] heaven is awesome.
Cawh lipi khawteh na tat nawh khawk bau hloep hra khuiawh hloep oet ce plawci hy. Thlang thong khqih ce lipi a dawngawh thi uhy, a mik awm tloek ce ly unawh khan Khawsa ce zoeksang uhy.
14 That will be the second terrible event. [Be aware that] the third tragic event will happen soon.
Khaw map pak khihnaak ce khum nawh, khaw map apak thumnaak ce a law aham awm hy.
15 Then the seventh angel blew [his trumpet]. Angels in heaven shouted loudly, “Our Lord [God] and the Messiah [whom he has appointed] can now govern [everyone in] [MTY] the world, and they will continue to rule people forever!” (aiōn )
Khan ceityih ak khqihnaak ing uut ce a yng awh, khan na awi khawteh na qeng hy, cawhkaw awi ing, “Khawmdek ram ve ningnih Bawipa ingkaw a Khrih a ram na coeng hawh hy, anih ing kumqui dy uk hawh kaw,” tihy. (aiōn )
16 The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence (prostrated themselves/bowed down low) and worshipped him.
Cekcoengawh Khawsa haiawh kaw boei ngawihdoelh awh ak ngawi a hqamca a thong pupthli tloek ing koep unawh Khawsa ce beek uhy:
17 They said: Lord God, you are the Almighty One! You are the one who exists now! You are the one who has always existed! We thank you that you have defeated by your power everyone who has rebelled against you, and you now rule over everyone in the world.
Bawimang soeih soeih Bawipa Khawsa, na venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn law u nyng, nang taw ak awm huili ingkaw ak awm coeng hawh na awm hyk ti, na sai ik-oeih bau soeih ce lo tiksaw boei na ngawi hawh hyk ti.
18 The unbelieving people of [MTY] the nations were raging at you. As a result you have become very angry with them. You have decided that this is the appropriate time for you to judge all the dead people. You have also decided that it is the time for you to reward all your servants, both the prophets and the rest of your people who reverence you [MTY], whether they were considered socially significant/important or socially insignificant/unimportant. It is time for you to reward all of them! You have also decided it is the time for you to destroy the people who are destroying others on the earth.
Rampum awhkaw thlangkhqi ce amik kaw so unawh nang ak kawsonaak ce pha law hy, thlakthikhqi awi dengnaak a tym ce pha law nawh, na tyihzoeihkhqi, na tawnghakhqi, nak thlakciimkhqi ingkaw nang ming ak kqihchah thlangkhqi, thlak zawi, thlak bau aham kutdo huhnaak tym ce pha law hawh hy, khawmdek ak hqe thlangkhqi hqenaak nyn ce pha law hawh hy,” tinawh kqawn hy.
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened {was open} and [I] saw in the temple the sacred box/chest that contains God’s commandments. Lightning was flashing, it was thundering and rumbling, the earth shook, and large hailstones [fell from the sky].
Cekcoengawh taw khanna ak awm Khawsa a tempul ce awng qu nawh, cawhkaw tempul khuiawh paipi a sainaak bawm ce awm hy, ce a nyn awhkawng kqek mai ing, khawnghum awi ing, lipi tat nawh kqek khawzah ce kqi hy.
