Awiphawng 13

1 Thlim ce tuicun keng awh dyi hy. Cawh tuicun khui awhkawng ak thoeng law qamsatlung ce hu nyng. Cawhkaw qamsatlung cetaw ak kii pahqa ingkaw a lu khqih tahy, ak kii boeih awh boei lumyk pahqa awm hy, a lu boeih awh Khawsa kqawn seetnaak ming awm boeih hy.

Then I saw rising up out of the sea a beast who had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns he had ten diadems, and on his heads blasphemous titles.

2 Cawhkaw qamsatlung ka huh cetaw kaityn ing lo qu hy nih. Cehlai a khaw taw phawm a khaw amyihna awm nawh am kha taw samthyyn am kha amyihna awm hy. Thlim ing cawhkaw qamsatlung a venawh thaawmnaak, boei ngawihdoelh ingkaw saithainaak ak bau soeih ce pehy.

The beast I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were bear’s feet, and his mouth a lion’s mouth. The dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.

3 A lu pynoet taw ngawha ai hlai hy, ngawha a ai ce qoei hawh hy. Khawmdek pum amik kawpoek kyi nawh cawhkaw qamsatlung a hu awh bat uhy.

And I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth was following the beast, wondering.

4 Qamsatlung a venawh saithainaak ce a peek a dawngawh thlangkhqi ing thlim ce bawk uhy, qamsatlung awm bawk unawh, “U nu qamsatlung amyihna ak awm? U ing anih ve a tuk thai kaw?” ti uhy.

Men worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying. "Who is like the beast? Who can fight with him?"

5 Oeknaak ingkaw Khawsa thekhanaak awi kqawn aham hui am lai ingkaw, hla 42 khui amah ngaih ik-oeih saithainaak ce pe uhy.

And he was permitted to utter loud boasts and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty-two months.

6 Anih ing Khawsa kqawn seet aham ingkaw anih ang ming ing anih a awmnaak hun ingkaw khan awh ak awm thlangkhqi boeih kqawn seet aham am kha ce awng hy.

So he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle (those who live in his tabernacle in heaven).

7 Thlakciimkhqi tuk thainaak ingkaw noeng thainaak ce hu hy. Phynlum, thlangtawm, awi cawm awi ce ingkaw qampum ak khanawh saithainaak ce tahy.

The beast was allowed to wage war upon the saints, and to conquer them; and there was given him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation;

8 Khawmdek a syn cyk awh ami him tuuca a hqingnaak cauk ak khuiawh ang ming qee na amak awm khawmdek thlangkhqi boeih ing cawhkaw qamsatlung ce bawk kawm uh.

and each one whose name has not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who has been slain from the foundation of the world. All who dwell on the earth shall worship him.

9 U awm zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh.

Let him who has ears to hear, listen.

10 Tamnaa na ak khum hly kawi thlang taw tamnaa na khum kaw. Zawzi ing him hly kawi thlang taw zawzi ing him na awm kaw. Cedawngawh thlakciimkhqi ing kawdung doena yhnaak taak aham ingkaw ypawm na awm aham ngoe hy.

Whoever is destined to go into captivity, goes into captivity. Whoever shall kill with the sword, shall surely be killed by the sword. (Here is the endurance and faith of the saints.)

11 Cedawngawh khawmdek awhkaw ak law qamsatlung pynoet ce hu nyng. Tuuca amyihna kii pakkhih ta hlai hy, thlim amyihna awi pau hy.

And I saw another beast ascending from the land; and he had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon;

12 Lamma awhkaw qamsatlung ang zyngna anih a saithainaakkhqi boeih boeih ce sai nawh ngawha ak ai nawh ak qoei hawh lamma awhkaw qamsatlung ce dek awhkawng thlang boeih bawk sak hy.

and he exerts the full authority of the first beast before him, and he makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast whose death-stroke was healed.

13 Anih ing kawpoek kyi hatnaak ik-oeihkhqi ce sai hy, thlang a mik huh awh khawk khan nakawng pateng za mai nung tlak law sak hy.

And he performs great miracles, so that he even causes fire to come down to the earth from the sky, before men’s eyes.

14 Lamma awhkaw qamsatlung ang zyngna hatnaakkhqi saithainaak ce a venawh peek na a awm a dawngawh, khawmdek awh ak awm thlangkhqi ce anih ing thai nahy. Zawzi ing ngawha ai hlai hy ak hqing tlaih qamsatlung kqihchahnaak myiqawl sai aham anih ing awi pehy.

And he deceives those who dwell on the earth, because of the miracles, which he is permitted to perform in the sight of the beast. He tells those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the sword-stroke, yet lived.

15 Cawhkaw myiqawl bawk aham ak thanaak thlang boeih ce him saknaak thai awi kqawn aham lamma awhkaw qamsatlung myiqawl hqi sak thainaak ce anih a venawh peek na awm hy.

And he was permitted to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speak; and so that any one who would not worship the image of the beast should be put to death.

16 Thlang boeih, ak zawi ak bau, boei ingkaw khawdeng, ak loet ingkaw tamnaa cawng kut benawh am awhtaw a talqi awh hatnaak boeih anih ing taak sak ngah ngah hy,

And he makes all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a brand put upon their right hands or upon their brows,

17 cedawngawh qamsatlung ang ming am awhtaw ang ming a nambat hatnaak amak ta ingtaw ik-oeih am zawi thai kawmsaw thlai awm am thlai thai kawm uh.

so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the brand of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Ve ing cyihnaak ngoe hy, u ingawm ak poek thai awhtaw qamsa a nambat ce noet lah seh, kawtih vawhkaw nambat taw thlanghqing nambat na awm hy, anih a nambat taw 666 na awm hy.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.
