< Revelation 9 >
1 Eno wabaji lih dowa rangsah warah ih liirong ah huumotta doh ritsih esiit hah ni datti raaha rah japtuptang, erah suh hetangmuh benglu saabi ah koh eta. (Abyssos )
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 )
2 Ritsih rah ih benglu ah laang kaano, erah dowa weekhot dongkhot ra taha, erah weekhot ah hipong hinya ih dongkhotta, eno rangsa phaak nyia pongwut ah benglu nawa weekhot dongkhotta rah ih nakdat thukta. (Abyssos )
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 )
3 Weekhot dowa wotuute loong ah dong haano hah ni ra taha, eno neng suh uh siirangngang likhiik ih neng chaan ah kota.
Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth. [They were given] {[God] gave them} power [to sting people], like scorpions [sting people].
4 Wotuute loong asuh baatta, sen ih naam, song abang adoleh jihoh songphook bangphook ah lathet haat theng, o mina heh khang ni Rangte sin lajeeka loong ah baajen siiwi chamnaang thuk an.
[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].
5 Wotuute loong asuh baatta, erah mina loong ah etek bah latek haat theng, la bangnga than echam luulu ih thuktheng. Erah siiwi chamnaang thuk rum adoh hemaasat ah langla sirongngaang ih lak adi sat arah likhiik eh sat rum ah.
[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.
6 La bangnga mong adoh neng ih etek esuh taatli rum ah, erabah uh tati rumka ang ah, erah pootdoh etek ah neng taangnawa moongsoon eah.
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].
7 Wotuute loong ah raamui kaat suh mok bankhookham arah likhiik eh angta; neng khoh loong ah hun khopok likhiik nyia nengthe nengkhoh ah mina the akhoh likhiik ih ang rumta.
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.
8 Neng khoroon ah minuh loong khoroon likhiik angta nyia neng pha loong angkoleh sakhobung loong pha likhiik angta.
They had [long] hair like the [long] hair of women. Their teeth were [strong], like lions’ teeth.
9 Neng teekhuh ah jaan nawa hoon arah laakkhoi likhiik ih angta, eno neng jang dowa mokkaari loong ah raamui kaatdi rengpit ah likhiik ih huupuh rumta.
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.
10 Neng meh loong ah siirongngaang meh likhiik helak pan angta, eno neng meh loong adi la bangnga mong doh mih chum thet haat suh chaan aphaan pan angta.
They had tails like scorpions have. With their tails they stung [people] for five months.
11 Hetangmuh benglu sokboite rangsah ah neng luuwang angta. Hebrew jeng ih Abaddon; Grik jenglam ih Apollion ngeh ih men rumta; (erah langla “Thet haatte”). (Abyssos )
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 )
12 Jaakhoh dowa cho etheng ah eliin eta; bolam uh echo etheng enyi je ah.
That was the end of the first terrible event. [Be aware that] two tragic events are still to come.
13 Erah lih adi wabanga lih dowa rangsah warah ih luirong ah huumotta. Eno Rangte ngathong ni hun nawa hoon arah romthong dowa rongbaji ni miroot japchaat tang.
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.
14 Erah miroot adi wabanga lih dowa rangsah suh baatta, “Euphrate Ju ni khak ha rangsah baji ah daap haat ih uh!”
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!”
15 Eno rangsah baji ah daap haat ano erah saapootpoot di, erah rangwuuwu sa, erah laajangjang di nyia erah paangpaang adi thiikjom dowa thiiksiit mih loong ah etek haat esuh ban khookham thuk rumta.
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.
16 Ngah suh baat tahang: Erah di raamuite loong ah rooproop eh rooknyi koror angta.
The number of the soldiers riding on horses who did that was 200 million. I heard [someone say] how many there were.
17 Eno motmang ni mok nyia moksiitte loong ah japtup rum tang: Neng teekhuh loop theng laakkhoi loong ah we saangsaang ih saangta, saphira jong hamham eta nyia koonthook likhiik ih meenta. Mok khoh ah sakhobung loong khoh likhiik angta, eno mok tui nawa we, weekhot nyia koonthook dong taha.
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.
18 Eno mok tui nawa thang achang ejom dong taha ah weekhot, we nyia koonthook angta eno erah ih dowa mina loong ah thiikjom dowa thiiksiit ah chum tek haatta.
Those three things—the fire, the smoke, and the [burning] sulfur from [the horses’] mouths—killed a third of the [rebellious] people.
19 Mok loong chaan ah neng tui ni nyia neng meh loong adi angta. Neng meh loong langkoleh pu hekhoh pan likhiik angta eno mina loong ah erah ih chumthet haat rumta.
The horses had power with their mouths and with their tails. Their tails have heads like snakes by which they harm people.
20 Erah thang adi latekte loong ah neng lak ih hoonta soomtu ah tatoi rumta. Neng ih chiithih laakhah soomtu, nyia hun, jaanleep, ngunkholok, jong, bang marah ih hemik ih latup, hena ih lachaat adoleh lami khoomka loong hoon rumta soomtu ah tatoi rumta.
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.
21 Adoleh mih tek haat, moontooro, mih damdi roomjup roongtong nyia hot hot loong ah tasekthun rumta.
They did not stop murdering people, or practicing sorcery, or acting in sexually immoral ways, or stealing [things].
