< Revelation 17 >
1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
Boet khqih ak pawm khan ceityih khqih khuiawh kaw pynoet ing ka venawh: “Law lah, tui khawzah awh ak ngawi, pup zawi pyi nu dyna ce nim huh vang.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
Khawmdek sangpahrangkhqi ing anih ing samphaih unawh khawmdek thlangkhqi ce anih a samphaihnaak misur tui ing qui sak boeih hy,” ni tina hy.
3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
Cekcoengawh khan ceityih ing qamkoh na Myihla awh ni ceh pyi hy. Cawh Khawsa thekhanaak ming ing ak be, lu khqih ta nawh kii pahqa ak ta ak thim qamsatlung ak khanawh ak ngawi nu pynoet ce hu nyng.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.
Ce nu ing ak thim ingkaw ak ling hi ce bai hy, ak vang sui ingkaw lung phuk tlo ingkaw pale ing thoeih ang cam qu hy. A kut awh tyih ak cu ik-oeih ingkaw a samphaihnaak tyih ak cu sui boet ce pawm hy.
5 And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
A talqi awh vemyihna ca qee awm hy: “PUP ZAWIKRI A NU INGKAW KHAWMDEK AWHKAW TyIH AK CU ANG HyP BAByLON KHAWK BAU.
6 I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
Cawhkaw nu ce thlakciimkhqi thi, Jesu ak dyihpyi thlangkhqi a thi a qui ce hu hy. Anih ce ka huh awh, kak kawpoek kyi hy.
7 The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Cawh khan ceityih ing, kawtih nak kawpoek a kyi? Nu ingkaw ang ngawihnaak a lu khqih ingkaw ak kii pahqa ak ta qamsatlung akoe ang hyp ce nik kqawn pe vang.
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present. (Abyssos )
Qamsatlung vai na huh ce tuh awhkaw am voel ni, cawhkaw qamsatlung taw a dytnaak amak awm lawk-kqawng khui awhkawng thoeng kawmsaw amah a seetnaak hun na cet kaw. Khawmdek a syn cyk awhkawng hqingnaak cauk awh ang ming amak pa thlangkhqi ing ak awm hawh, cehlai tuh amak awm nawh ak law hly kawi qamsatlung ce ami huh awh amik kawpoek kyi kaw. (Abyssos )
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
Ve ik-oeih awh cyihnaak ngoe hy. Lu khqih cetaw nu ang ngawihnaak tlang khqih ni.
10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
Cekkhqi ce sangpahrang khqih na awm awm bai hy. Pumha tloek taw tlu hawh uhy, tuh pynoet awm hy, ak awm ce law hlan hyn hy; cehlai anih ce a law awh kawlhkalh ni a awm hly.
11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
Ni hu awh ak awm, tuh amak awm ce sangpahrang ak kqeetnaak na awm hy. Anih ce khqih ak khuiawh pa nawh anih awm seetnaak ak khuiawh cet lawt kaw.
12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.
Kii pahqa na huh cetaw qam ak hu hlan sangpahrang pahqa tloek ni, cehlai khawnoek pynoet khui sangpahrang saithainaak ce qamsatlung ing dang lawt kawm uh.
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Cekkhqi ing cainaak pynoet ni ami taak uh, thaawmnaak ingkaw saithainaak ce qamsatlung a venawh pe kawm uh.
14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
Tuuca ce tu kawm uh, cehlai tuuca ing noeng kaw, kawtih anih taw boeikhqi a Boei ingkaw sangpahrangkhqi a Sangpahrang na a awm a dawngawh – amah ing khy hy, tyk nawh ypawm na a hu awh ak batkhqi ce a venawh awm kawm uh,” ni tina hy.
15 He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
Cawh khan ceityih ing ka venawh, “Pup zawi nu ang ngawihnaak tui cetaw thlangkhqi, thlang kqeng, phynlum ingkaw awi cawm awi ce khqi ni.
16 The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
Qamsatlung ingkaw kii pahqa ak law ing cawhkaw pup zawikung ce sawhna kaw. Plawci sak kqawi kawmsaw ak pum a zal na cehta qawi kaw; a sa ce ai kawm nih saw mai awh phum kawm nih.
17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
Ikawtih Khawsa ing cekkhqi kawlung khuiawh amah a ngaihnaak soep sak aham cawhkaw qamsatlung a venawh uk thainaak ce Khawsak awi a soep hlan dy pehy.
18 The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
Nu na huh cetaw khawmdek sangpahrangkhqi ak ukkung khawk bau ni,” ni tina hy.
