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)
Vantungmi a nga na in a tum zawkciang in, vangtung pan in aksi khat a taksuk ka mu hi: taciang ama sia mong nei ngawl dum hon na tawtang pia hi. (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)
Mong nei ngawl dum sia a hon ciang in; mong nei ngawl dum sung pan in meikhu pusuak a, meikhuk pan a pusuak meikhu in, ni le van hawmpui zong zingcipsak hi. (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 sung pan in leitung ah khaumaw tam mama pusuak a: taciang amate tung ah vangletna pia hi, leitung ah aikam te i vangletna taw kibang hi.
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].
Tua te sia leitung ah lopa le thingkung a hing te theampo susia ngawl tu le, amate i talki ah Pathian i ceptena a nei ngawl mihing te bek susia tu in thupia hi.
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.
Mihing te tha nga sung vawtsia tu in hunpia hinapi, a thalup tu oai ngawl hi: tua khaumaw te i vawtsiatna sia aikam i mihing a tuk bang in natu hi.
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].
Tua hun hong thet ciang in mihing te in thina zong tu uh ahihang, a mu batu uh hi; a thi nop mama uh hang, thina sia amate kung pan taikhia tu hi.
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.
Khaumaw te sia ngalsim tu a kithoai siphu te bang hi a; kumpi lukhu taw a kibang zong amate lutung ah om hi, amate i maitang te zong mihing maitang taw kibang hi.
8 They had [long] hair like the [long] hair of women. Their teeth were [strong], like lions’ teeth.
A sam te zong nupi te sam bang hi a, a ha te zong tawpi ha taw kibang hi.
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.
A awmdal te zong, thik awmdal bang hi a; a thazap awnging zong ngalsim tu a tai siphu leang tampi aw nging taw kibang hi.
10 They had tails like scorpions have. With their tails they stung [people] for five months.
Amei te zong aikam te i mei bang hi a, a mei uh ah ngu nei hi: mihing te tha nga sung ngimpiak theina vangletna nei hi.
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)
Amate zong kumpi nei uh a, tasia sia mong nei ngawl dum sung a om vantungmi a hihi, a min sia Hebrew kam in Abaddon hi a, Greek kam in Apollyon a hihi. (Abyssos g12)
12 That was the end of the first terrible event. [Be aware that] two tragic events are still to come.
Ngimna lianpi khat bo a; en in, hisia zawkciang in ngimna a ni na hongpai thua lai tu hi.
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.
Vantungmi a luk na in a tum zawkciang in, Pathian mai a om kham biaktau i kii li te pan in aw khat ka za hi,
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!”
A awnging in lemle a nei vantungmi a luk na tung ah, nguntui lian mama Eupharates sung ah a ki hencip vantungmi li te tha in, ci hi.
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.
Taciangin mihing khenthum sua khenkhat that tu in nai khat, ni khat, tha khat le khumkhat atu in a kingingkhol vantungmi li te tha hi.
16 The number of the soldiers riding on horses who did that was 200 million. I heard [someone say] how many there were.
Siphu a to ngalkap te sia awn zani hi, ci a sim ka za hi.
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.
Mangmuna ah siphu te ka mu a, tua siphu tung ah a to te in mei, jacinth le kan taw a ki vawt awmdal nei hi: taciang siphu te i lu te sia tawpi lu taw kibang a; amate kam sung pan in mei, meikhu le kan te pusuak hi.
18 Those three things—the fire, the smoke, and the [burning] sulfur from [the horses’] mouths—killed a third of the [rebellious] people.
Amate kam sung pan a pusuak mei, meikhu le kan, hite thum in mihing khenthum sua khenkhat te that siat hi.
19 The horses had power with their mouths and with their tails. Their tails have heads like snakes by which they harm people.
Amate i vangletna sia a kam le a mei uh ah om hi: banghangziam cile amate i mei te sia ngul mei taw kibang a, taciang lu zong nei uh hi, tua a lu te taw in mihing te ngimpia hi.
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.
Hi thina pan a suakta mihing te in doaimangpa a biakna uh ahizong, bangma mu thei ngawl, za thei ngawl le lam a pai thei ngawl, kham, ngun, tau ngo, suangtum le thing taw amate i khut taw a vawttawm milim te biak na uh mun pan zong a kisik nuam tuan bua uh hi:
21 They did not stop murdering people, or practicing sorcery, or acting in sexually immoral ways, or stealing [things].
Taciang tualthat, ngual bum, paktat mawna le nguktak na pan zong a kisik nuam tuan bua uh hi.
