Revelation 5
1 I saw that there was a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. The scroll was written on its outside as well as on its inside, and it was sealed {Someone had written on the outside as well as on the inside of the scroll and sealed it} with seven seals.
Kumpi tokhum tung ah a to pa i a ziatsang khut sung ah, a sung le a nungsang ah lai ki at a, ceptena sali a ki khen laibu ka mu hi.
2 I saw a strong angel who was announcing in a loud voice, “(The person who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it should come to do it!/Who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it?)” [RHQ]
Hi laibu le ceptena te hong tu in kua kilawm ziam? ci in a thahat vantungmi khat a tai kawm in aw ngingtak taw a au ka mu hi.
3 But no created being in heaven nor any created being on the earth nor any created being under the earth was able to open the scroll and see what was written on it.
Vantung ah ahizong, leitung ah ahizong, leinuai ah ahizong, laibu a hong thei tu mihing om ngawl a, a en thei tu peu zong om ngawl hi.
4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
Tabang in laibu hong tu, a sim tu le a en tu a kilawm mihing mu ngawl ahikom, nasiatak in ka kap hi.
5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not cry any longer! Look, the one who is called the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Messiah who is the descendant of King David, has overcome Satan! As a result, he is worthy to break the seven seals on the scroll and open it!”
Upa te sung pan khat in, kap heak in: en in, Judah minam te i Tawpi le David i zungpi in laibu le ceptena sali te hong tu in zawna nga zo hi, hong ci hi.
6 Then I saw Jesus, the one who is like a [MET] sacrificial lamb, standing there. He stood near the throne, in the midst of the four living creatures and the elders. It appeared that he had been killed {that people had killed him}, but he was alive again. He had seven horns [on his head], and he had seven eyes that symbolize the Spirit of God who has all kinds of power (OR, who is also symbolized as seven spirits). [He] sends [God’s] Spirit out into all the earth.
Ka en a, kumpi tokhum, nganhing li le upa te i laizang ah a ki that Tuuno bang khat a ding ka mu hi, tua Tuuno in kii sali le mit sali nei a, tuate sia leitung theampo ah Pathian i sawl Thaa sali te a hi uh hi.
7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
Ama hongpai a kumpi tokhum tung ah a to pa i ziatsang khutsung pan in laibu sia la hi.
8 When he took the scroll, the four living [creatures] and the 24 elders (prostrated themselves/knelt down) before [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, [to worship him]. They each had a harp, and they had golden bowls full of incense that [represents] the prayers of God’s people.
Laibu a lak zawkciang in, nganhing li le upa kul le li te sia Tuuno mai ah bok uh hi, khatsim in tengtong te le mithiangtho te thungetna ngimnamtui taw a kidim kham kuang te nei tek uh hi.
9 The living [creatures] and the elders sang a new song. They sang: You are worthy to receive the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed, and because you redeemed/bought people for God from every tribe, language [MTY], people-group, and nation with the blood that flowed from your body when you died.
Amate in la thak dawngkhat sia hibang in sa khawm uh hi, laibu a la tu le ceptena te a hong tu in na kilawm hi: banghangziam cile nangma sia thalupna thuak in na thisan taw nam sim, minam tatuam le ngam tatuam sung pan in Pathian atu in nong tan zo hi;
10 You have caused them to become a people over whom our God rules, and to become priests who serve him, and they will rule on [MTY] the earth.
Taciang Pathian tung ah kumpi le thiampi te in nong vawt zo hi: taciang leitung ah i uk tu hi, ci hi.
11 As I [continued to] look, I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and around the living [creatures] and the elders. There were millions of them, a [crowd so large that no one could count them].
Ka en a, kumpi tokhum, nganhing te le upa te kimkot ah vantungmi tampi te aw ka za hi; tua vantungmi te sia tulsawm a se tul sawm le tul tampi a se tul tampi a hihi;
12 They were singing in a loud voice: “The one who is like a lamb was killed {whom his enemies killed} but he became alive again. He is worthy that all created beings acknowledge that he is infinitely powerful, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, and infinitely strong! He is worthy of being honored and praised by all created beings!”
Thalup na a thuak Tuuno sia vangletna, hauna, ciimna, thahatna, upatna, minthanna le thupha sang tu kilawm hi, ci in aw ngingtak in ci uh hi.
13 I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn g165)
Vantung le leitung a om te ahizong, lei nuai le tuipi sung a om, a bitphuana te theampo in, thupha, upatna, minthanna le vangletna te sia kumpi tokhum tung ah a to pa le Tuuno tung ah, om tawntung tahen, a ci na ka za hi. (aiōn g165)
14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
Nganhing li te in, Amen, ci hi. Taciang upa kul le li te in zong a nungta tawntung pa sia kun in bia uh hi.
