Revelation 9
1 The fifth angel blew his trumpet. Then I saw [an evil angel. He was like] a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. He was given {[Someone] gave him} the key to the shaft [that descended] ([to] the underworld/[to] the deep dark pit). (Abyssos g12)
Acunüng khankhawngsä amhmanak naw kpun a tum. Aisi mat khankhaw üngka naw mcea kya lawki ka hmuh. Ani üng adütnak am awmkia khui kthuknu tawh ami pet. (Abyssos g12)
2 When he opened that shaft, smoke arose from it like smoke from a huge burning furnace. The smoke prevented [anyone from seeing] the sky and the light of the sun. (Abyssos g12)
Aisi naw adütnak am awmkia khui kthuknu cun mhmawng se adütnak am awmkia khui kthuknu üngka naw meitumnu üngka naw khu lawki meikhua mäih cun khui kthuknu üngka naw lut lawki. Acuna phäha khawnghngi la khawkhi nghmüp lawki xawi. (Abyssos g12)
3 Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth. [They were given] {[God] gave them} power [to sting people], like scorpions [sting people].
Meikhu üngka naw mkhaü he khawmdek khana kyum lawki he. Jawngk’ai hea johit taka mäih cun acuna mkhaü he üng pi ami jah pet.
4 [God] told the locusts that they should not harm grass, nor any plants, nor any tree. [God said that they should harm only] those people who did not have a mark on the forehead [to show that they belonged to God].
Khawmdek khana msai he, khuhlip he la thing he süm süm am jah kpyeh u lü, ami mceyü üng Pamhnama msingnak am taki he däng ami jah mkhuimkha vaia ngthu ami jah pet.
5 [God] did not allow the locusts to kill those people. Instead, [he] allowed them to continue torturing people for five months. When they tortured people, the pain those people felt was like the pain a scorpion causes when it stings someone.
Nghngicim khyang he am jah hnim u lü khya mhma ami jah mkhuimkha vaia ngthu ami jah pet. Acuna mkhaü he naw ami jah mkhuimkhanak vai cun jawngk’ai naw khyang cui se a nata mäiha naki.
6 During the time [when the locusts torture rebellious people, the pain will be so bad that] people will want to find a way to die, but they will not be able to [PRS].
Acuna khya mhma üng khyang he naw thihnak sui hü khai he cunsepi am hmu u. Ami thih vai ngaih u sepi thihnak naw jah cen ta khai.
7 The locusts looked like horses that are ready for battle. They had on their heads what looked like golden crowns. Their faces were like the faces of people.
Mkhaüe cun ye tuknak vaia jah ngtünaka ngse hea mäih lawki he. Ami lü üng xüi lukhuma mäih lawki jah ngbüngki he. Ami müihmai he pi nghngicima müihmai hea mäih lawki.
8 They had [long] hair like the [long] hair of women. Their teeth were [strong], like lions’ teeth.
Ami lusam nghnumi hea lusama mäih law lü, ami hae mukei hea ha mäih lawki.
9 They wore metal breastplates. [When they were flying], their wings made a noise like the roar when many horses [pull chariots as they are] rushing into battle.
Mthi sawiphawa mäiha sawiphaw he ami mkyanga khana jah thüih awiki he. Ami ngphya ami mkhapa ng’yün cun ye tu khaia lawki ngse nghle khawjaha ami ng’yüna mäih lawki he.
10 They had tails like scorpions have. With their tails they stung [people] for five months.
Jawngk’aia ngmeia mäiha ami ngmei cun nghling mahki. Acuna ami ngmei am nghngicim khyang khya mhma ami mkhuimkha vaia johit taki he.
11 The king who ruled over them was the angel of the underworld. His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon. In the Greek language it is Apollyon. [Both of] those names [mean ‘Destroyer’]. (Abyssos g12)
Adütnak am awmkia khui kthuknua khankhawngsä cun ami khana jah ukia sangpuxanga taki he. Acuna ngming cun Hebru ngthu üng, “Abaddon” na lü, Krik ngthu üng, “Apolyon” naki. Ti hlünak cun “Kpyükpyehki” tia kyaki. (Abyssos g12)
12 That was the end of the first terrible event. [Be aware that] two tragic events are still to come.
Kyühkse akcük cun bäih se; acun käna kyühkse nghngih pha law be tü khai.
13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet. Then I heard a voice from the four corners of the golden altar that is in God’s presence.
Acunüng khankhawngsä akhyuknak naw kpun a tum. Pamhnama ma xüi kphyawnkunga kit phyü üngka naw kthai ng’yüng law se ka ngjak.
14 It was saying to the sixth angel, the one who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels whom [I] have bound at the great river Euphrates!”
Acuna kthai naw khankhawngsä akhyuknaka veia, “Epharetis mliktui kama khankhawngsä kphyü jah kphune cen jah khyah bea” a ti.
15 The four angels were released, those who had been {[He] released the four angels, whom [God] had} kept ready for that [exact] hour of that day, of that month, of that year. They were released {[He] released them} in order that they might enable [their soldiers to] kill a third of the [rebellious] people.
Ahina kcün, ahina mhmüp, ahina khya la ahina khawkum üng nghngicim kthum üngka mat jah hnim khaia jah mcawn pänga kyase khankhawngsä kphyü he cun jah khyah bea kyaki.
16 The number of the soldiers riding on horses who did that was 200 million. I heard [someone say] how many there were.
Ngsea khana ngcumkia yekap he ami däm lam cun 200,000,000 lawki he tia ami na mtheh.
17 In the vision I saw what the horses and the [beings] that rode them looked like. They [wore] breastplates that were [red] like fire, [dusky blue] like smoke, and [yellow] like sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. From their mouths came fire, smoke, and [fumes of burning] sulfur.
Mdanak ka hmuhnak üng ngse he la a khana ngcumki he ka jah hmuh naw: Kata kba ng’aiki, meia kba senki, saphir lunga kba ngkyüngkia sawiphawe jah taki he. Ngsea lu he cun mukeia lua mäih lawki he. Ami mka üngka naw mei, meikhu la kat lut lawki.
18 Those three things—the fire, the smoke, and the [burning] sulfur from [the horses’] mouths—killed a third of the [rebellious] people.
Ngse hea mka üngka naw lut lawkia mei, meikhu la kat he naw nghngicim khyang hmün kthum üngka hmün mat cun acuna mnehkse naw a jah hnim.
19 The horses had power with their mouths and with their tails. Their tails have heads like snakes by which they harm people.
Ngse hea johit cun ami mka la ami ngmei he üng awmkia kyaki. Ami ngmei he cun kphyu lu maha mäih lawki he. Acun am nghngicim khyang jah mkhuimkha naki he.
20 The rest of the [rebellious] people, those who were not killed by these plagues of [fire and smoke and burning sulfur], did not turn from their sinful behavior. [They did not stop worshipping] the idols that they had made with their own hands. They did not stop worshipping demons and idols [that were made] of gold, of silver, of bronze, of stone, and of wood, [even though they are idols] that can neither see nor hear nor walk.
Acuna khuikhanak üng am thi u lü kpawihkia nghngicim khyang he cun naw pi amimäta kut am pyan cun am nghlata u. Am hmu thei lü, am cetcawn thei lü, am ngja theikia xüi juktuh, ngui juktuh, mthi juktuh, lung juktuh la thing juktuh he jah sawkhahnak üngka naw ä ngjut u lü awmki he. Khawyai sawkkhahnak pi am nghlata u.
21 They did not stop murdering people, or practicing sorcery, or acting in sexually immoral ways, or stealing [things].
Khyang ami hnimnak, suikyam ami binak, ami hüipawmnak la ami m'yuknak he üngka naw pi am ngjut u lü awmki he.
