Revelation 12
1 Eno rang ni micho miphaan dong angta. Erah di minuh nusiit, heh nyukap khatkap ah rangsa angta, laphui ah heh lakhui ni nyia heh khopok ah ritsih asih enyi angta.
Then something very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a woman, whose [appearance and] clothing were [MET] as bright as the sun. The moon was under her feet. On her head was a crown [that was made] of twelve stars.
2 Heh sah tupnanah ang ano rapne ih huusatta.
She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
3 Micho miphaan rang ni jihoh we dong angta. Erah di dragoon esaang elongwah esiit angta, heh khoh sinat nyia heh rong asih angta, eno heh khoh rookwet ni luuwang khopok angta.
Something else very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a huge red dragon. It had seven heads and ten horns. On each of its heads was a royal crown.
4 Eno ritsih loong ah thiikjom dowa thiiksiit ah rang dowa khoon hoom ano hah ni haatkaat taha. Heh sah dongtup damdam phak suh li ano, minuh ngathong adi chaptta.
The dragon’s tail dragged a third of the stars from the sky and threw them to the earth. The dragon set himself in front of the woman who was about to give birth, in order that he might eat her child as soon as it was born.
5 Eno minuh ah ih miwasah dongtupta, erah sah rah ih jaan thah ah pi ano deek akaan thoontang pan ah. Enoothong noodek ah nge ano Rangte taang ni heh tongtheng ni piiwanta.
The woman gave birth to a son, who [is destined] to rule all the nations with [complete authority as if he was using] [MET] an iron rod [MET]. [God] snatched away her child and took him to [rule from] his throne.
6 Eno Rangte ih ban khookhamta phisang hah adi, minuh ah soonkata, erah di 1,260 saakaan riikoi sokboi kaatta.
The woman fled to a desert. She has a place there that God has prepared for her, in order that [the angels] may take care of her for 1,260 days.
7 Erah lih adi rangmong ni ra muita. Eno dragoon ah damdi Maikel nyia heh rangsah loong ah mui rum kano, dragoon nyia heh rangsah loong ah daakmui rumta;
[In the vision I saw that] there was a battle in heaven. Michael and the angels that he [commanded] fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back [against Michael and his angels].
8 enoothong dragoon ah ejen eta, erah dowa ih dragoon nyia heh rangsah loong ah rangmong ni takah boottong thuk rumta.
But the dragon did not win the battle, so [God] did not allow the dragon and his angels to stay in heaven any longer.
9 Teewah dowa pu nyia heh rangsah loong ah hah ni piihaat kaat taha—teewah dowa pu ah langla Hakhoh luuwang, adoleh Soitaan ah angta, heh ih mongrep dowa mina loong ah mokwaan ha. Heh rangsah nyia heh teewah loong ah hah ni piihaat kaat taha.
The huge dragon was thrown {[Michael and his angels] threw the huge dragon} out [of heaven]. The dragon is the ancient serpent, [the one] who is called the Devil and Satan. He is the one who deceives [people all over] the earth. He was thrown down to the earth, along with all his angels.
10 Eno rangmong ni erongwah ih ri arah japchaat tang, “Amadi Rangte jiin nawa khopiiroidong ah ra hala! Amadi Rangte ih hechaan hephaan ah Luuwang chaan aphaan likhiik ih noisok ha! Amadi Kristo ih heh chaan ah noisok ha! Tiimnge liidi seng Rangte ngathong ni chap ano rangwu rangphe hanpiite loong suh liilaangte loong ah rangmong nawa piihaat kaat hala.
Then I heard [someone] in heaven shout loudly, saying, Now our God has saved his people by his power, and he rules everyone! Now the Messiah, the one who is the supreme ruler whom God appointed, has authority to rule all people, because our God has thrown out of heaven the one who accuses our fellow believers! The dragon is the one who accuses them day and night before our God, saying that they have sinned and that God ought to punish them.
11 Hanpiite loong ah ih Saapsah sih nyia amiisak tiit baattaan rumta jun ih jen rumta; eno neng roidong ah thiinhaat ano etek esuh li rumta.
Our fellow believers overcame the dragon because they never stopped trusting (OR, never stopped telling people about) Jesus, and because they trusted in what Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, accomplished when his blood flowed when he died. Even though those believers wanted to live, they were willing to let people kill them for speaking the truth about him.
12 Erah raangtaan ih rangmong sen loong nyia erah di tongte loong ah eroon e an! Enoothong arah hah nyia juusih raangtaan ih tiimthan thih ah! Tiimnge liidi Hakhoh Luuwang ah sen taang ni tenkhat potom ih datra hala, heh ih jat eha nga taang ni saapoot ah amasah ba tongla ngeh ah.”
So, all you angels living [MTY] in heaven, rejoice! But terrible things will happen to you ungodly people who [MTY] live on the earth and on the ocean, because the devil has come down to you! He is very angry because he knows that he has only a short time during which he can harm people.
13 Dragoon ah ih hah ni baalek haatkaat kohalang nih li ano, heh sah miwasah tupte nuh asuh taatlaat baatta.
When the dragon realized that he had been thrown {that [the angels] had thrown him} down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to a son.
14 Eno minuh asuh phisaang hah adoh pukkaat thuk suh laang jang elongwah enyi kota, erah doh heh ih heh sah ah paangjom paangthom dragoon lak nawa puipang suh ah.
But the woman was given two wings like the wings of a very large eagle, in order that she might fly to a desolate place. That is a place [that God] has prepared for her. There she was taken care of {[God’s angels] took care of her} for three and a half years. The serpent, [that is, the dragon], was not able to reach her there.
15 Erah thoidi minuh ah toom phuukaat ah li ano dragoon ah ih heh tui nawa ju ah minuh lilih ih jengkaat thukta.
The serpent spewed water like a river from his mouth in the direction of the woman, in order that the water might sweep her away.
16 Enoothong minuh chosokte ah hah angta, heh tui ah kaahaat ano dragoon tui dowa ju ah matlemta.
But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
17 Minuh asuh dragoon ah khah ano hesuh hesah loong damdi muila—erah loong ah langla Rangte jengdang boichaatte nyia Jisu ih jatthuk ha amiitiit baatta suh tuumaangte loong ah.
Then the dragon was very angry with the woman, so he went away to fight against [the people who are like] the rest of her descendants. They are the people who obey God’s commandments and who tell other people about Jesus (OR, hold fast to what Jesus taught them).
