< Chongphuong 13 >
1 Male dragon hah tuikhanglien panga han ânding zoi. Hanchu sarâng tuikhanglien renga hong jôk ku mua. Rikingei sôm dôn le lungei sari dôn ania; a riki zeta han rênglukhum aom leta, male a lu zeta han Pathien êrona riming aom sa.
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea that had ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on his horns and blasphemous names on his heads.
2 Sarâng ku mu hah ikeiarsi aphuoa, a kengei hah ivom kengei aphuoa male a bâi hah ikeibaknei bâi aphuoa. Dragon han sarâng kôm a sinthotheina, a rêngsukmun le a rachamneina lientak ngei hah a pêka.
The beast I saw was like a leopard; his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power, his throne, and great authority.
3 Sarâng lungei kâra inkhat hah thi theina dôra popin ku mua, aniatachu a sâbê hah ahong dam zoi. Pilchung pumpuia mingei han an kamâma, sarâng nûk an jûi zoia.
One of the beast's heads appeared to be mortally wounded. But his mortal wound had been healed, and the whole world was amazed and followed the beast.
4 Sarâng kôm han a rachamneina a pêk sikin dragon hah mi murdi'n chubai an mûk zoi. Anni ngei han sarâng khom chubai an mûk sa, “Sarâng anga hi tumo aom? Tumo a doi thei rang?” tiin.
They worshiped the dragon that had given his authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against him?”
5 Sarâng hah inpâk thei rang le Pathien êro thei rangin phal ania, male tha sômminlileinik sûnga rachamnei rangin phal ani sa.
The beast was given a mouth to utter great boasts and blasphemy, and he was given authority to wage war for forty-two months.
6 Pathien le a riming, aomna ngâi mun le invâna omngei murdi khomâksâm a phut zoi ani.
And he opened his mouth to utter blasphemy against God and to slander his name and his tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.
7 Pathien mingei doia mene rangin phal ani zoia, chitin, namtin, chongtin, le jâttin chunga rachamneina a kôm pêkin aom zoi.
He was permitted to wage war against the saints and conquer them, and he was given authority over every tribe, people, tongue, and nation.
8 Rammuol insieng mâna Belrite that sai ta ngei ringna lekhabua an riming chuongsai ngei tiloiin pilchunga omngei murdi'n ama chubaimûk an tih.
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
9 “Hanchu, kuorngei nin dônin chu rangâi roi!
If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10 Tukhom suoka om rang anînchu suoka om tatak a ta, tukhom khandaia that rang anînchu khandai leh thatin om tatak a tih. Pathien mingei chu an tuongdier rang le taksônoma an om ranga koi an ni.”
“If anyone has captivity as his lot, away he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed.” This calls for the endurance and the faith of the saints.
11 Hanchu sarâng adang pilchung renga ahong jôk ku mua. Belrite angin rikingei inik a dôna, male dragon angin a chonga.
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
12 Sarâng inkhatna rachamneina lientak hah sarâng masa makunga a manga. Pilchung le a chunga miriem omngei hah sarâng masa thi theina dôra popsai, a dam nôk hah chubaimûk rangin a dânderîta.
He exercised all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and made the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
13 Ma sarâng inikna han sininkhêlngei roiinpui a thoa; invân renga pilchunga mi murdi mitmua mei a juong musuma.
He performed great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the presence of the people.
14 Male sarâng inkhatna mitmua sininkhêlngei tho ranga phalna a man sika han pilchunga mingei murdi a huonga; an kôm, sarâng khandaia pop sai la dam nôk miritna rangin ama rimil sin rangin chong a ril ngeia.
By the signs he was permitted to do in the presence of the first beast, he deceived my own people who dwell on the earth, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image of the first beast, who had the wound from the sword but still lived.
15 Sarâng inkhatna rimil hah a chong theina rang le chubaimûk loi ngei murdi a that theina rangin sarâng inikna kôm han ringna phûk pêk theina rangin phalna pêk ani.
The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause whoever refused to worship the image to be killed.
16 Mingei murdi, achîn alien, anei ânrieng, suok le zalen mi khom an kut changtiengngeia aninônchu an machalngeia sînthona dôn pak rangin a dânderîta.
The second beast required everyone, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
17 Sarâng riming aninônchu a riming number sînthona dônloi ngeiin chu tutên ite rochôk theiloi le zuor theiloi rangin.
so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18 Mahin vârna anâng. Tukhom riettheina dônin chu sarâng number hah aomtie ha sût rese, munisi riming number ani sikin 666 ani.
This calls for wisdom: Let anyone who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; his number is six hundred sixty-six.
