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 the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten crowns, and on each of its heads was a blasphemous name.
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.
This beast I saw was like a leopard. Its feet were like a bear's feet, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. The dragon gave his power to it, and his throne, and his great authority to rule.
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.
One of the beast's heads appeared to have been killed, but its fatal wound was healed. The whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.
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.
They also worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast. They worshiped the beast, too, and kept saying, “Who is like the beast?” and “Who can fight against it?”
5 Oeknaak ingkaw Khawsa thekhanaak awi kqawn aham hui am lai ingkaw, hla 42 khui amah ngaih ik-oeih saithainaak ce pe uhy.
The beast was given a mouth that could speak proud words and blasphemies. It was permitted to exercise authority for 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 the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God—blaspheming his name, the place where he lives, and those who live 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 permitted to wage war with the saints and to conquer them. Also, authority was given to it over every tribe, people, language, 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.
All who live on the earth will worship it, everyone whose name was not written, since the creation of the world, in the Book of Life, which belongs to the Lamb, who had been slaughtered.
9 U awm zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh.
If anyone has an ear, let him 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.
If anyone is to be taken into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. Here is a call for the patient 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.
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, and it 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.
It exercised all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and it made the earth and those who live on it worship the first beast—the one whose lethal wound had been 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.
It performed mighty miracles. It even made fire come down on the earth from heaven in front of people.
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.
By the signs it was permitted to do, it deceived those who lived on the earth. It told them to make an image in honor of the beast that had the sword wound but 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.
It was permitted to give breath to the beast's image so that the image would even speak and cause all who refused to worship the beast to be killed.
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,
It also forced everyone, unimportant and mighty, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.
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.
It was impossible for anyone to buy or sell unless he had the mark of the beast, that is, the number representing its 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.
This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast. For it is the number of a human being. Its number is 666.
