< Revelation 12 >
1 Then something very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a woman, whose [appearance and] clothing were [MET] as bright as the sun. The moon was under her feet. On her head was a crown [that was made] of twelve stars.
Hanchu misîrtheiloi neinun le roiinpuitak invâna ânlanga. Mahan nupangnu aoma, ân vôna hah nisa ania, male a ke nuoia thâ aoma male a lua han rênglukhum ârsi sômleinik kop aoma.
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
Amanu han nâinei lai a ta, male nâihana tuongin chapin ân ieka.
3 Something else very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a huge red dragon. It had seven heads and ten horns. On each of its heads was a royal crown.
Misîrtheiloi neinun dang invâna ânlang nôka. Mahan Dragon sen lienpa lungei sari dôn le rikingei sôm dôn, a lu zeta rênglukhum inkhumin an oma.
4 The dragon’s tail dragged a third of the stars from the sky and threw them to the earth. The dragon set himself in front of the woman who was about to give birth, in order that he might eat her child as soon as it was born.
A remei leh invâna ârsingei munthuma semin munkhat a jêma, pilchunga ajuong mathâk zoi. Nupangnu nâineisuo a sâk kelen theina rangin a moton tieng han ândinga.
5 The woman gave birth to a son, who [is destined] to rule all the nations with [complete authority as if he was using] [MET] an iron rod [MET]. [God] snatched away her child and took him to [rule from] his throne.
Hanchu amanu han nâipasal a neia, namtina mingei chunga thîr tôkmol leh roijêk rangpu ha. Aniatachu Pathien le a rêngsukmun tienga rangin nâipang hah sutpaiin le lâkpaiin aoma.
6 The woman fled to a desert. She has a place there that God has prepared for her, in order that [the angels] may take care of her for 1,260 days.
Nupangnu hah chu ramchâra, Pathien'n mun a minsûk pena, sûn isângkhat razannik sômruk sûnga donsûia a omna rang tieng han a rot zoi.
7 [In the vision I saw that] there was a battle in heaven. Michael and the angels that he [commanded] fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back [against Michael and his angels].
Hanchu invâna râl aom zoia. Michael le a vântîrtonngeiin dragon hah doiin an inbuonpui, ama le a vântîrtonngei khom an inbuonpui dêna;
8 But the dragon did not win the battle, so [God] did not allow the dragon and his angels to stay in heaven any longer.
aniatachu, dragon hah motorin aom zoi, ama le a vântîrtonngei hah chu invâna om rangin phal khâi mak ngei.
9 The huge dragon was thrown {[Michael and his angels] threw the huge dragon} out [of heaven]. The dragon is the ancient serpent, [the one] who is called the Devil and Satan. He is the one who deceives [people all over] the earth. He was thrown down to the earth, along with all his angels.
Hanchu dragon lienpa, tienlâia murûl, Diabol aninônchu Soitan an ti ngâi, rammuol pumpui huongpu hah an mathâk pai zoi. Ama le a vântîrtonngei murdi khom pilchunga an juong mathâk pai ngei zoi.
10 Then I heard [someone] in heaven shout loudly, saying, Now our God has saved his people by his power, and he rules everyone! Now the Messiah, the one who is the supreme ruler whom God appointed, has authority to rule all people, because our God has thrown out of heaven the one who accuses our fellow believers! The dragon is the one who accuses them day and night before our God, saying that they have sinned and that God ought to punish them.
Hanchu invâna rôl inringtakin, “Atûn chu ei Pathien sanminringna le Rêngpa anghan a sinthotheina le a Messiah rachamneina ngei hah ajuong minlang zoi! Ei Pathien motona indinga sûn jâna ei lâibungngei le ei sarnungei nônngâipu hah invân renga an mathâk pai zoi.
11 Our fellow believers overcame the dragon because they never stopped trusting (OR, never stopped telling people about) Jesus, and because they trusted in what Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, accomplished when his blood flowed when he died. Even though those believers wanted to live, they were willing to let people kill them for speaking the truth about him.
Belrite thisen le chongtak an phuong sika han ei lâibungngei le ei sarnungei menena an changa, an ringna khom thi ngam rakin an phal sa zoi.
12 So, all you angels living [MTY] in heaven, rejoice! But terrible things will happen to you ungodly people who [MTY] live on the earth and on the ocean, because the devil has come down to you! He is very angry because he knows that he has only a short time during which he can harm people.
Masikin nangni invânngei le asûnga omngei, nin râiminsân ta roi! Aniatachu pilchung le tuikhanglien rangin idôra ântak mo ani zoi! Asikchu Diabol hah nin kôm ajuong chum zoia, male ama hah taksinân a sipa, zora bongte vai ke a dôn zoi ti a riet sikin,” a ti ki rieta.
13 When the dragon realized that he had been thrown {that [the angels] had thrown him} down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to a son.
Dragon han pilchunga juong mathâk paiin aom zoi tih ânriet lehan nâipasal nei nupangnu hah anûk a rujûl phut zoi.
14 But the woman was given two wings like the wings of a very large eagle, in order that she might fly to a desolate place. That is a place [that God] has prepared for her. There she was taken care of {[God’s angels] took care of her} for three and a half years. The serpent, [that is, the dragon], was not able to reach her there.
Amanu hah dragon'n a tôn phâk loina rang kum thum in-ang donsûia a omna rang mun ramchâr tieng a vuong theina rangin minmupui mantha inik ngei hah pêkin aom zoi.
15 The serpent spewed water like a river from his mouth in the direction of the woman, in order that the water might sweep her away.
Nupangnu hah tuiin achôipai theina rangin a nûka dragon'n a bâi renga tuilien angin aphîta.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
Aniatachu pilchungin nupangnu hah asana; a bâi a-ânga dragon'n tui aphît hah amelem zoi.
17 Then the dragon was very angry with the woman, so he went away to fight against [the people who are like] the rest of her descendants. They are the people who obey God’s commandments and who tell other people about Jesus (OR, hold fast to what Jesus taught them).
Dragon hah nupangnu chunga a ningthik sabaka, male a richisuonpârngei a la omngei Pathien chongpêk jômpu ngei le Jisua chongtak phuonga taksônom ngei murdi hah doia inbuonpui rangin a se zoi.
