1 He phoeiah diklai kil pali ah aka pai puencawn pali te ka hmuh. Diklai khohli pali te a oel uh. Te daengah ni khohli loh diklai dongah, tuili soah, thingkung boeih soah a hli pawt eh.
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, and holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind should blow over the earth or the sea or upon any tree.
2 Te phoeiah aka hing Pathen kah kutnoek aka pom puencawn pakhat te khomik kah khocuk lamloh ha thoeng te ka hmuh. Anih taengah diklai neh tuitunli te hmalaem sak ham a paek tangtae puencawn pali te ol ue neh a doek.
And I saw another angel coming from the east and carrying a seal belonging to the ever-living God. He called in a loud voice to the four angels whose work it was to injure the earth and the sea.
3 “Kaimih Pathen kah sal te a tal dongah kutnoek ka daeng uh hlan hil diklai khaw, tuitunli khaw, thing khaw thae sak boeh,” a ti.
"Injure neither land nor sea nor trees," he said, "until we have sealed the bondservants of our God upon their foreheads."
4 Te vaengah kutnoek a daeng kah hlangmi te ka yaak. Israel koca boeih lamkah kutnoek a daeng te thawng yakhat thawng sawmli thawng li louh.
When the sealing was finished, I heard how many were sealed out of the tribes of the descendants of Israel. They were 144,000.
5 Judah koca lamkah thawng hlainit loh kutnoek a daeng uh. Reuben koca lamkah thawng hlainit, Gad koca lamkah thawng hlainit,
Of the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed; Of the tribe of Reuben, 12,000; Of the tribe of Gad, 12,000;
6 Asher koca lamkah thawng hlainit, Naphtali koca lamkah thawng hlainit, Manasseh koca lamkah thawng hlainit,
Of the tribe of Asher, 12,000; Of the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000; Of the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000;
7 Simeon koca lamkah thawng hlainit, Levi koca lamkah thawng hlainit, Isakhar koca lamkah thawng hlainit,
Of the tribe of Symeon, 12,000; Of the tribe of Levi, 12,000; Of the tribe of Issachar, 12,000;
8 Zebulun koca lamkah thawng hlainit, Joseph koca lamkah thawng hlainit, Benjamin koca lamkah thawng hlainit te kutnoek a daeng uh.
Of the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000; Of the tribe of Joseph, 12,000; Of the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000.
9 Te phoeiah hlangping muep tarha ka hmuh. Te rhoek te a tae thai moenih. Namtom boeih, pilnam koca rhoek neh ol com ol khui lamkah te tuca hmai neh ngolkhoel hmaiah pai uh. A kut dongkah rhophoe neh hnikul a bok a bai uh.
After this I looked, and a vast host appeared which it was impossible for anyone to count, gathered out of every nation and from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in long white robes, and carrying palm-branches in their hands.
10 Te phoeiah ol ue la pang uh tih, “Khangnah tah ngolkhoel soah aka ngol mamih Pathen neh Tuca kah ni,” a ti uh.
In loud voices they were exclaiming, "It is to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, that we owe our salvation!"
11 Te phoeiah ngolkhoel taengvai ah aka pai puencawn rhoek neh, patong rhoek neh mulhing pali boeih loh, ngolkhoel hmaiah a maelhmai buluk uh tih Pathen te a bawk uh.
All the angels were standing in a circle round the throne and round the Elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces in front of the throne and worshipped God.
12 “Amen, Mamih kah Pathen te yoethennah, thangpomnah, cueihnah, uemonah, hinyahnah, thaomnah neh thadueng tah kumhal ah kumhal duela om saeh! Amen,” a ti uh. (aiōn g165)
"Even so!" they cried: "The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanks and the honor and the power and the might are to be ascribed to our God, until the Ages of the Ages! Even so!" (aiōn g165)
13 Te phoeiah patong rhoek khuikah pakhat loh a doo tih kai taengah, “Hnikul a bok aka bai rhoek, amih he me lamkah aka om neh me lamkah nim ha pawk?” a ti.
Then, addressing me, one of the Elders said, "Who are these people clothed in the long white robes? And where have they come from?"
14 Te vaengah amah te, “Ka Boeipa namah loh na ming,” ka ti nah. Tedae kamah taengah, “He rhoek tah phacip phabaem len lamkah aka pawk rhoek ni. A hnikul te a suk uh tih Tuca kah thii neh a bok sak uh,” a ti.
"My lord, you know," I replied. "They are those," he said, "who have just passed through the great distress, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Te dongah Pathen kah ngolkhoel hmaiah om uh tih a bawkim ah khoyin khothaih amah a bawk uh. Ngolkhoel sokah aka ngol loh amih te a rhaeh thil.
For this reason they stand before the very throne of God, and render Him service, day after day and night after night, in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne will shelter them in His tent.
16 A bungpong uh voel mahpawh. Tuihal uh voel mahpawh. Khomik loh amih tlak thil voel pawt vetih kholing cungkuem loh do mahpawh.
They will never again be hungry or thirsty, and never again will the sun or any scorching heat trouble them.
17 Ngolkhoel lakli kah tuca loh amih te a dawndah vetih amih te hingnah tuisih tui kungla long a tueng ni. Amih mik lamkah mikphi boeih te Pathen loh a huih ni.
For the Lamb who is in front of the throne will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to watersprings of Life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes."
