Olphong 18
1 He phoeiah a tloe puencawn vaan lamkah aka suntla te ka hmuh. Saithainah a khueh khungdaeng tih a thangpomnah neh diklai te a tue.
After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
2 Te vaengah ol ue la pang tih, “Tim coeng Babylon puei te tim coeng. Te dongah rhaithae rhoek kah khosaknah hmuen neh rhalawt mueihla boeih kah thongim, rhalawt vathawt boeih kah thongim, rhalawt satlung neh hmuhuet koi boeih kah thongim la poeh coeng.
And he cried out with a strong voice saying: “It fell, it fell, Babylon the great! and has become a dwelling place of demons, even a prison of every unclean spirit, also a prison of every unclean and detestable bird.
3 A Cukhalnah thinsa misurtui te namtom boeih loh a ok uh tih diklai manghai rhoek tah anih taengah cukhalh uh. A thaomnah neh pangdoknah lamkah diklai hnoyoi rhoek loh a khueh tawn uh,” a ti.
Because all the nations have drunk of the rage of the wine of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich through the strength of her luxury.”
4 Te phoeiah vaan lamkah ol tloe ka yaak tih, “Ka pilnam aw, a taeng lamloh cet laeh. Te daengah ni a tholhnah dongah na thum uh pawt vetih, a lucik te na dang uh pawt eh.
And I heard another Voice from heaven saying: “Come out of her, my people, so as not to participate in her sins and so as not to receive of her plagues.
5 A tholhnah loh vaan duela kap tih a boethae te Pathen loh a ming.
For her sins have reached to heaven and God has remembered about her her iniquities.
6 Anih loh a thuung vanbangla amah khaw thuung uh lamtah a khoboe tarhing ah rhaepnit rhaepnit la boengloeng a thoek tangtae khuiah rhaepnit la thoek uh.
Render to her just as she rendered to you; yes, pay her back double, according to her deeds; in the cup that she mixed, mix double for her.
7 Amah tah muep thangpom uh tih pang a dok. Anih te heyet tah phaepnah neh ngueknah pae uh. A thinko ah tah, “Boeinu’ la ka ngol tih nuhmai la ka om pawh. Te dongah ngueknah ka ming loeng loeng mahpawh,” a ti.
To the extent that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, by so much give her torment; because in her heart she says, ‘I sit a queen, and am not a widow; and I will certainly not see sorrow.’
8 Te dongah a lucik tah khohnin pakhat ah dueknah, ngueknah, khokha la ha pawk vetih hmai neh a hoeh ni. Boeipa Pathen aka tlung loh anih te lai a tloek thil coeng.
Therefore her plagues will come in one day death and sorrow and famine and she will be burned up with fire; because the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 Te dongah a taengah cukhalh neh pang aka dok diklai manghai rhoek loh a ung kah hmaikhu te a hmuh uh vaengah anih ham rhap uh vetih a rhaengsae uh ni.
“The kings of the earth who fornicated and lived luxuriously with her will weep and mourn over her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
10 A phaepnah te rhihnah neh hoei pai uh vetih, “Anunae, anunae, kho puei Babylon kho tlung te khonoek pakhat neh nang kah laitloeknah ha pawk ca,” a ti uh.
standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying: ‘Alas, alas, O great city Babylon, O mighty city! Because your judgment came in one hour.’
11 Diklai hnoyoi rhoek tah rhap uh tih a soah nguek uh. Amih kah hnopai te a lai pah voel pawt dongah.
“And the merchants of the earth weep and sorrow over her, because no one buys their goods anymore:
12 Hnopai te sui neh ngun khaw, lung vang neh laitha khaw, hnithen neh daidi hni, puu a nukyum, thing botui neh vueino hno cungkuem boeih khaw, thing then tubael boeih khaw, rhohum khaw, thi khaw, lungbok khaw,
goods of gold and of silver, of precious stones and of pearl, of fine linen and of purple, of silk and of scarlet; every citron wood and object of ivory, every object of most precious wood and of bronze and of iron and of marble;
13 Thingsa khaw, anhoi khaw, bo-ul khaw, botui khaw, hmueihtui khaw, misurtui khaw, situi khaw, vaidam khaw, cang khaw, saelhung khaw, tu khaw, marhang khaw, leng khaw, pumsa rhoek khaw, hlang mueihla khaw lai uh voel pawh.
cinnamon and incense and perfume and frankincense, wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep and horses and carriages, and bodies and souls of men!”
14 Na hinglu kah hoehhamnah na thaih hmin te khaw nang lamkah khum coeng. A kuel a pang neh a cim thik boeih khaw nang lamloh poci coeng. Te rhoek te phoe loengloeng voel mahpawh.
(‘Yes, the fruit that your soul craved has gone from you, and all the sumptuous and splendid things have perished from you, and you will never find them again!’)
15 Anih lamkah aka khuehtawn hnoyoi rhoek tah a phaepnah te rhihnah neh a hla lamkah pai uh vetih a rhah neh nguek uh ni.
“The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand afar off for fear of her torment, weeping and sorrowing
16 Anunae, anunae, khopuei khotung aih., hnithen, daidi neh a nukyum aka bai, sui, lungto lungvang, laitha neh aka thoeihcam uh aih.
and saying: ‘Alas, alas, O great city! that was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls;
17 Khuehtawn heyet loh khonoek pakhat ah a poeih mai,” a ti uh. Sangpho boei boeih neh hmuen tom la aka hlaikan sangpho hlang rhoek khaw, tuitunli kah a saii boeih long khaw a hla lamkah pai uh.
because in one hour such great wealth was laid waste.’ “And every ship captain, and all who travel by ship—sailors and as many as work the sea—stood afar off
18 Anih a ung kah hmaikhu te a hmuh uh vaengah pang uh tih, “kho puei te metlam phek a om?” a ti uh.
and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘Who is like the great city!?’
19 A lu ah lainaeng khaw a phul uh tih pang uh. Rhap uh tih nguek uh. Anunae, anunae kho puei aih te, a khohrhang lamloh tuitunli ah sangpho aka khueh boeih loh a khuehtawn uh te khonoek pakhat loh a poeih mai,” a ti uh.
They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and sorrowing and saying: ‘Alas, alas, O great city! by which all who had ships in the sea became rich, by her costly abundance; because in one hour she was laid waste.’
20 Vaan neh, hlangcim rhoek neh, caeltueih rhoek neh, tonghma rhoek aw anih te uum laeh. Nangmih kah laitloeknah te anih soah Pathen loh lai a tloek coeng.
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, yes you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment against her!”
21 Te phoeiah puencawn aka tlung pakhat loh phaklung len bang lungto te a phil tih tuitunli la a voeih. Babylon kho puei tah kuthlahnah neh a voeih pai vetih koep phoe voel mahpawh.
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a huge millstone and threw it into the ocean saying: “The great city Babylon will be thrown down violently, and will never be found again.
22 Rhotoeng tum rhoek, lamcawn rhoek, phavit tum rhoek, oluengkung rhoek kah ol khaw na khuiah na ya voel bal mahpawh. Kutthai boeih khaw na khuiah bungkhutnah hmuh voel bal mahpawh. Phaklung ol khaw na khuiah na ya voel bal mahpawh.
The sound of harpists and musicians and flutists and trumpeters will never be heard in you again; no craftsman of whatever craft will ever be found in you again; the sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again;
23 Hmaiim a vangnah khaw na khuiah vang voel bal mahpawh. Yulokung neh vasakung kah ol khaw na khuiah na ya voel bal mahpawh. Na rhunsi khuehnah lamloh namtom boeih a rhaithi dongah na hnoyoi rhoek te diklai hlanglen la om uh.
the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; the voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again; because your merchants were the magnates of the earth, because by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.”
24 Tedae a ah tonghma rhoek, hlangcim rhoek neh diklai hmankah a ngawn uh boeih kah a thii te a hmuh coeng.
And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, even of all who had been butchered on the earth.
