Olphong 4

1 Te phoeiah he he ka hmuh. Vaan ah thohka a ong coeng ke. Te vaengah ol lamhma loh olueng bangla ka taengah a thui te ka yaak. “He la ha luei hang lamtah hekah phoeiah aka thoeng ham a kuek te nang kan tueng eh?,” a ti.

After these things I saw a door open in heaven, and the first voice came to my ears, like the sound of a horn, saying, Come up here, and I will make clear to you the things which are to come.

2 Mueihla neh tlek ka om vaengah vaan ah ngolkhoel tarha ana hol tih te ngolkhoel dongah pakhat ana ngol.

Straight away I was in the Spirit: and I saw a high seat in heaven, and one was seated on it;

3 Te vaengah ka ngol tah a suisak te maihae lung neh lungling phek ni. Ngolkhoel te khaw lungsen suisak phek la tampacung pat om.

And to my eyes he was like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was an arch of light round the high seat, like an emerald.

4 Ngolkhoel te ngolkhoel pakul pali pat om bal. Ngolkhoel pakul pali dongah patong pakul pali ngol tih himbai bok neh khuk uh. A lu te sui rhuisam neh a khuem thil uh.

And round about the high seat were four and twenty seats: and on them I saw four and twenty rulers seated, clothed in white robes; and on their heads crowns of gold.

5 Ngolkhoel lamkah khophaa neh rhaek ol te khaw ha thoeng. Te vaengah ngolkhoel hmaikah hmaiim parhih tah hmai vang. Te tah Pathen kah Mueihla parhih coeng ni.

And out of the high seat came flames and voices and thunders. And seven lights of fire were burning before the high seat, which are the seven Spirits of God;

6 Ngolkhoel hmaiah cilrhik tuili tah canglung phek la om. Ngolkhoel lakli neh ngolkhoel taengvai ah a hnuk a hmai mik hnoeng la aka bae mulhing pali te om.

And before the high seat there was, as it seemed, a clear sea of glass; and in the middle of the high seat, and round about it, four beasts full of eyes round about.

7 Te vaengah mulhing lamhma tah sathueng phek la, mulhing paibae tah vaitoca phek la om, a pathum mulhing loh a maelhmai te hlang bangla a khueh. A pali kah mulhing tah langta phek la ding.

And the first beast was like a lion, and the second like an ox, and the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.

8 Mulhing pali loh a phae parhuk te rhip rhip a khueh. A pum boeih neh a khuiah mik hoeng la bae. Te vaengah duemnah a khueh uh kolla khoyin khothaih, “A cim, a cim, a cim Boeipa Pathen tah tloengkhoelh ni, om coeng tih om li tih ha pawk pueng ni,” a ti uh.

And the four beasts, having every one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and inside: and without resting day and night, they say, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, Ruler of all, who was and is and is to come.

9 Tedae mulhing rhoek loh thangpomnah, hinyahnah neh uemonah te ngolkhoel dongkah aka ngol rhoek te a paek vaengah, amih te kumhal kah kumhal duela hing. (aiōn g165)

And when the beasts give glory and honour to him who is seated on the high seat, to him who is living for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)

10 Patong pakul pali tah ngolkhoel dongkah aka ngol hmaiah bakop uh vetih kumhal kah kumhal duela aka hing te a bawk uh ni. A rhuisam te ngolkhoel hmaiah a tloeng uh tih, “A koih la na om pai,” a ti uh. (aiōn g165)

The four and twenty rulers go down on their faces before him who is seated on the high seat, and give worship to him who is living for ever and ever, and take off their crowns before the high seat, saying, (aiōn g165)

11 Boeipa neh mamih kah Pathen tah thangpomnah, hinyahnah neh thaomnah te dang pai saeh. Namah loh a cungkuem na suen tih na kongaih lamloh aka om rhoek khaw a suen uh coeng.

It is right, our Lord and our God, for you to have glory and honour and power: because by you were all things made, and by your desire they came into being.
