< Revelation 14 >
1 But then I saw the [one who is like a] lamb standing on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem]. With him were 144,000 [people]. His name and his Father’s name had been written {[He] had written his name and his Father’s name} on their foreheads.
Acunüng teng ni se Toca Zion Mcunga khana ngdüiki la acuna ngming la a Pa a ngming ami mceyü üng ng’yuki khyang 144,000 ka jah hmuh.
2 I heard a sound from heaven, which was as [loud] [SIM] as the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide [river of rushing] water) and which was [also as loud as] [SIM] mighty thunder. The sound that I heard was like [the sound that] people make when they are playing their harps.
Acunüng khankhawa tuiksawinua ng’yüna kba ng’yüngki la khawnghmüma kba ng’yüngki ka ngjak. Acuna ka ngjaka kthai cun cawng tumki he naw cawng ami tuma kba ng’yüngki.
3 The 144,000 people were singing a new song [while they stood] in front of the throne, in front of the four living [creatures], and in front of the elders. Only the 144,000 [people], the ones who have been {whom [the one who is like a lamb] has} redeemed/bought from among the people on the earth, could learn that song. No one else could learn the song [that they sang].
Bawingawhnaka ma, xüngksei kphyü he ma la ngvai hea ma khyang 144,000 ngdüiki he cun amimät däng naw ami ngthei khawha ng’äi kthai mcuki he. Khawmdek khan avan üng amimi däng jah thawnkhyaha kyaki.
4 Those 144,000 are the people who are [spiritually] pure, [like] virgins [are morally pure]. They have not (defiled themselves/made themselves impure) [MET] [by worshipping any false god]. They are the ones who accompany Jesus, the [one who is like a] lamb, wherever he goes. They [represent all those whom he has] redeemed/bought for God from among the people [of earth, in order that he might offer] them to God and to [himself].
Acun he cun nghnumi hea veia am mtüihkhehkia kyaki he. Acun he cun ä nghnu nglakia kyaki he. Acun he cun Toca a cehnak tä se läklamkia kyaki he. Acun he cun Pamhnam la Tomeca üng jah pet vaia, angthei kcüka kya khaia nghngicim üngka jah thawngkhyaha kyaki he.
5 [Those people] never lie when they speak [MTY], and they never act immorally.
Acun he naw hleihlak ami pyen vai am ksing khawi u. Mkhyenak pi am ta u.
6 I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios )
Acunüng khawmdeka khana awmkia khyang he, pakhui he naküt, paca he naküt, khyangmjü he naküt la ngthu akce kce pyenki he naküta veia ngthu sang khaia, anglät Thangkdaw takia khankhawngsä akce khana jawng hü se ka hmuh. (aiōnios )
7 He said in a loud voice, “Revere God and honor him, because it is now time for him to judge [people]! Worship [God, because he is] the one who created the heaven, the earth, the ocean, and the springs of water.”
Ani naw angsanga, “Ngthumkhyahnak vaia mhmüp pha lawkia kyase Pamhnam leisawng u lü a kyäpsawknak mhlünmtai ua; khawmdek la khankhaw, mliktui la tuihna jah mhmünmcengki cen sawhkhah ua,” a ti.
8 A second angel came after him saying, “The very evil [cities] (OR, [city]) [represented by] Babylon are completely destroyed! [God] has punished [their people because] they [have persuaded people of] all the nations [to forsake God, just like a prostitute] [MET] persuades [men] to drink [strong] wine and [as a result] commit sexual immorality.”
Acunüng khankhawngsä anghnginak naw, “Babalung mlühnu ta pyeh ve, pyeh ve. Khyang naküt üng a hüipawmnaka capyitui kha jah tu ve,” ti lü khankhawngsä akcük cun a läk law.
9 A third angel came next, saying in a loud voice, “If people worship the beast and its image and [allow] its mark to be put {its [agent to] put its mark} on their foreheads or on their hands,
Khankhawngsä akthumnak naw angsanga, “Upi Sakyung la a juktuh jah sawhkhah lü a msingnak a kut üng am acun üng a mceyü üng taki cun,
10 God will be angry with them and punish them very severely [MET]. They will be tormented {[God] will torment them} in burning sulfur in the presence of his holy angels and in the presence of the [one who is like a] lamb.
Pamhnama mlungsonaka capyitui, mlungsonaka khawt üng kyan lü a buih law cun aw khai he. Khankhawngsä ngcim la Tomeca a ma yea mei la kat am jah mkhuimkha vai.
11 The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn )
Acun he jah mkhuimkhanaka meikhu cun anglät se tho khai. Sakyung la a juktuh sawkhahki he la a ngming msingnak taki he naküt pi amhmüp amthan am lät u lü khuikha khai he,” ti lü khankhawngsä akcük xawi cun a jah läk law. (aiōn )
12 So God’s people, those who obey what God commands and who trust in Jesus, must faithfully continue [obeying and trusting him].
Pamhnama ngthupet läk u lü Jesuh üng sitihkia Pamhnama khyang he hama dunei vai hlüki.
13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write [this: God will] now [abundantly] bless the people who have a close relationship with the Lord [Jesus] for the rest of [their lives].” [God’s] Spirit says, “Yes, [after they die], they will no longer have to work hard. Instead, they will rest, and [the record of the good deeds] [MTY] that they have done will go with them (OR, [God] will [reward them] for the good deeds that they have done).”
Acunüng khankhawa kthaih naw, “Hinkba yua: Atuh Bawipa khutbi üng thiki he ta jekyai ve u” Ngmüimkhya naw, “Ä cang ve! ami bawngkhanak üngka naw xüiei khai he. Ami bilawh naw jah läk law khaia kyase, ti ve,” a ti ka ngjak.
14 Then I was surprised to see a white cloud, and on the cloud [someone] was sitting who looked like the one who came from heaven. He [was wearing] a golden crown on his head. In his hand [he held] a sharp sickle.
Acunüng teng ni se khawngmei kbawk ka hmuh. Nghngicima mäih lawki a lu üng xüi lukhum ngbüng lü xat yekia ngvin kpawmei lü khawngmeia khana ngawki ka hmuh.
15 Another angel came out of the temple [in heaven]. In a loud voice, [speaking figuratively about gathering people for God to judge them], he said to the one who was sitting on the cloud, “The time has come to reap [the grain on the earth], so with your sickle [reap] the [grain], because the grain on the earth is ripe.”
Acunüng khankhawngsä akce Pamhnama Temple üngka naw lut lawki naw khawngmeia khana ngawkia veia angsang yea, “Na ngvin kphawng lü ata; ah vai kha ve. Khawmdek cang hmin lü ngäp ve,” a ti.
16 The one who was sitting on the cloud forcefully gathered together [all the people] on earth, [as] [MET] [a farmer] reaps grain with his sickle.
Acunüng khawngmeia khana ngawki naw a ngvin khawmdeka khana khäi lü khawmdek cang cun a ah.
17 Another angel came out of the sanctuary in heaven. He also held a sharp sickle.
Acunüng khankhawngsä akce pi xat kcangkia ngvin kpawm lü khankhawa Temple üngka naw lut lawki ka hmuh.
18 From the altar came another angel. He is the one who takes care of the fire [of the altar. Also speaking figuratively about gathering the wicked people for God to judge and punish them], he said in a loud voice to the angel who held the sharp sickle, “With your sharp sickle cut off the clusters of grapes in the vineyards on the earth! Then gather the clusters of grapes together, because its grapes are ripe!”
Acunüng khankhawngsä akce meia khana khyaihbahnak taki pi kphyawnkung üngka naw lut law lü ngvin xat kcang taki angsang yea khü lü, “Na ngvin akpat kcang cen kphawng lü khawmdek khana capyit ngbawm he cen jah ata; hmin päng ve u,” a ti.
19 So, [just like a man would] cut off with his sickle the clusters of grapes in his vineyard [MET], an angel forcefully [gathered the wicked people] on the earth. Then he threw them into the huge place where God will angrily punish them.
Acunüng khankhawngsä naw a ngvin khawmdeka khana khäi lü capyit cun atki. Acunüng capyitui suinak angsawng kcang Pamhnama mlungsonak capyitui suinaka k’uma a jah tawnin.
20 [The wicked people] were trampled on {[God’s agent] trod on [the wicked people]} [in] the winepress outside the city. The blood that came out from the winepress flowed [in a stream so deep that it reached] to the bridles of the horses, [and extended] (180 miles/300 kilometers).
Acunüng mlühnua kpung lama capyit suinaka k’um üng leh u se capyit suinaka khui üngka naw thisen lawng lawki. Acuna thisen lawng lawki cun ngsea nghngü cäpa li lü mäng phya nghngih banga lawng lü khyang cäpa ngkyungki.
