Revelation 17
1 One of the seven angels, who had [one of] the seven bowls, came to me. He said to me, “Come [with me], and I will show you how [God] will punish the very evil [city that is represented by] [SYM] a prostitute, a city in which there are many canals [of] water.
Kuang sali a nei vantungmi sali sung pan khat hongpai a, hong paupui hi, himun ah hongpai tan; tui tampi tung ah a to a lian pumpi zuak nu thukhenna kong lak tu hi:
2 [It is as though] the rulers of earth have acted immorally [and idolatrously] with the people of that city [MET], and they [have persuaded people] who live on the earth to act immorally [and idolatrously] with them [MET], [just like a prostitute persuades men to drink] the [strong] wine [she gives them, resulting in their] becoming drunk [and] then committing sexual immorality. with her.”
Ama sia leitung kumpi te taw paktat na vawt a, leitungmi theampo zong paktat na sapittui khamsak siat hi, hong ci hi.
3 Then, as [God’s] Spirit [controlled me], the angel carried me away to a desolate area. There I saw a woman who was sitting on a red beast. The beast had names [written] all over itself. They were names that (insulted/spoke evil against) [God]. The beast had seven heads and ten horns.
Thaa in duisung ah hong paipui hi: taciang lu sali le ki sawm nei a, Pathian mindaisak na min te taw a kidim, sapi sannum tung ah a to nupi khat ka mu hi.
4 The woman [that I saw] was wearing purple and red [clothes]; and gold, precious stones, and pearls were fastened to her [clothes and her body]. She held in her hand a golden cup. The cup was full of [a liquid that represents] [SYM] the detestable/disgusting, idolatrous things and filthy immoral things that she [does].
Taciang nupi nu sia puan sandup le sannum sil a, kham, suang manpha le pale taw kizeam hi, a niin le a lipkhaphuai paktatna taw a dim kham hai toai hi:
5 This name, that has a hidden/secret [meaning], was written on her forehead: “[This woman is] Babylon, the very evil [city! She acts like] the mother of the prostitutes on the earth. She teaches them to [act] immorally and to worship idols.”
A talki tung ah, thuku, a lian babylon, pumpizuak te i nu le leitung lipkhaphuai te i nu, ci in a min ki at hi.
6 I saw that the woman had become drunk as a result of drinking the blood of God’s people, those who had told others about Jesus. When I saw her, I was very bewildered/perplexed.
Tua nupi nu sia mithiangtho te thisan le Jesus atu in ngalhang a ki that te thisan a kham ka mu ciang in, lamdang ka sa mama hi.
7 The angel said to me, “Do not be bewildered [RHQ]! I will explain to you the hidden/secret meaning of the woman and of the beast on which she rides, the beast that has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Vantungmi in, banghang in lamdangsa ni ziam? Nupi nu i thuku ahizong, lu sali le ki sawm nei a, tua nupi nu a pua nganhing thu kong son tu hi, hong ci hi.
8 The beast that you saw [lived] previously. Eventually God will destroy him, but now he is dead. He is [about to] come up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit). [When] the beast who had previously lived, and who then had died, reappears, the people who live on the earth will be amazed. [They are people whose] names were not in the book in which are written the names of people [who will] have eternal life. [The angels have been writing those names in a list] (from the beginning of the world/from the time when the world began). (Abyssos g12)
Na mu nganhing sia sia, a omsa, tu in a om ngawl; mong nei ngawl dum sung pan hong kato tu a, siatsuana sung ah theng tu hi: taciang leitung bitphua pan kipan nuntakna laibu sung ah min ki at te in a omsa, tu in om ngawl a, a om pheang tu nganhing a mu ciang in lamdangsa mama tu hi. (Abyssos g12)
9 Those who [think] wisely [can understand] this: The seven heads [of the beast] on which the woman sits [symbolize] the seven hills [of the city that the woman represents]. They also [symbolize] seven rulers.
Himun ah ciimna a nei peuma in ngaisutna nei hi. Lu sali sia nupi nu to na mual sali te a hihi.
10 Five [of those rulers] have died. One is [still alive]. The seventh [ruler] has not yet come. When he comes, he must remain on earth for [only] a short [time].
Kumpi sali om hi: nga te puk zo a, khat om lai hi, taciang a dang khat sia hongpai ngawl lai hi; hongpai ciang in, tawmvei bek kho tu hi.
11 The beast that [lived] before and then was not [alive] will be the eighth [ruler]. He will be [evil like] the seven [rulers were, but God] will surely destroy him.
A omsa hi napi tu laitak a om ngawl nganhing sia a liat na hi a, a sali na zong a hihi, taciang siatsuana hong theng tu hi.
12 The ten horns that you saw [represent] ten rulers who have not yet begun to rule. They, together with the beast, will be authorized to rule [people for only a short time, as if it were] [MET] for one hour.
Kii sawm na mu te sia kumpingam a nga ngawl lai kumpi te a hihi; ahihang sapi taw kumpi te bang in nai khat sung vangletna nga khawm tu uh hi.
13 Those [rulers] will all agree to do the same thing. [As a result] they will give to the beast their power [to rule people] as well as their authority [to rule people] [DOU].
Amate theampo lungkim in, vangletna le thuneina sia sapi tung ah pia tu uh hi.
14 The rulers and the beast will fight against [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb. He will defeat them, because he is Lord [who rules over all other] lords and the King [who rules over all other] kings. Those [people] who are with [and helping him] are the ones whom [God] has chosen, and who keep [serving him] faithfully.”
Hi te in Tuuno sia do tu uh a, Tuuno in amate zo tu hi; banghangziam cile Tuuno sia to theampo te i To, le kumpi theampo te i Kumpi a hihi: taciang Ama taw a om te sia a sap te, a teal te le a thuman te a hihi.
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters that you saw in the city where the prostitute sits represent people-[groups], multitudes [of people], nations, and [speakers of many languages] [MTY].
Taciang ama in, na mu pumpizuak nu i tona mun tui tampi sia, mi tampi te, mihonpi te, minam tampi te le kam nam tatuam te a hihi.
16 The ten horns that you saw [represent rulers] [SYM]. They and the beast will hate [the people in the city] [MTY] that the prostitute [represents]. As a result, they will [take away everything that is in the city, as if] they were [MET] leaving it naked. They will [destroy it as if] [MET] devouring flesh/meat, and they will burn it with fire.
Taciang sapi tung ah na mu kii sawm te in pumpizuak nu sia, ensan in ama bek ngeam tu uh hi, taciang a pumnguak in koi tu uh a, a sa zong ne in mei taw hal tu uh hi.
17 They will do that because God has caused them to decide to do what he wants them to do. As a result, they will let the beast have their power to rule until what God has said is fulfilled {until [they] fulfill what God has said} [MTY].
Banghangziam cile amate in Pathian deina seam tu ahizong, Pathian thu bang in a tangtun dong lungkim in, amate kumpingam te sia sapi tung ah pia tu ahizong, Pathian in amate i thinsung ah ngaisutna pia tu hi.
18 The prostitute that you saw [represents] the very evil city [whose leaders] [MTY] rule over the kings of the earth.”
Na mu nupi nu sia leitung kumpi te a uk khuapi a hihi, hong ci hi.
