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.
And he took up a position upon the sands of the sea-shore. Then I saw a Wild Beast coming up out of the sea, and he had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten kingly crowns, and inscribed on his heads were names full of blasphemy.
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 Wild Beast which I saw resembled a leopard, and had feet like the feet of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion; and it was to the Dragon that he owed his power and his throne and his wide dominion.
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.
I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded; but his mortal wound was healed, and the whole world was amazed and followed him.
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.
And they offered worship to the Dragon, because it was to him that the Wild Beast owed his dominion; and they also offered worship to the Wild Beast, and said, "Who is there like him? And who is able to engage in battle 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 there was given him a mouth full of boastful and blasphemous words; and liberty of action was granted him 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.
And he opened his mouth to utter blasphemies against God, to speak evil of His name and of His dwelling-place--that is to say, of those who dwell 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.
And permission was given him to make war upon God's people and conquer them; and power was given him 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.
And all the inhabitants of the earth will be found to be worshipping him: every one whose name is not recorded in the Book of Life--the Book of the Lamb who has been offered in sacrifice ever since the creation of the world.
9 U awm zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh.
Let all who have ears give heed.
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 any one is eager to lead others into captivity, he must himself go into captivity. If any one is bent on killing with the sword, he must himself be killed by the sword. Here is an opportunity for endurance, and for the exercise of faith, on the part of God's people.
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 Wild Beast, coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of 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 the authority of the first Wild Beast--the whole of that authority--he exercises in his presence, and he causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Wild Beast, whose mortal 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.
He also works great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from Heaven to earth in the presence of human beings.
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 his power of leading astray the inhabitants of the earth is due to the marvels which he has been permitted to work in the presence of the Wild Beast. And he told the inhabitants of the earth to erect a statue to the Wild Beast who had received the sword-stroke and yet had recovered.
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 power was granted him to give breath to the statue of the Wild Beast, so that the statue of the Wild Beast could even speak and cause all who refuse to worship it to 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 causes all, small and great, rich and poor, free men and slaves, to have stamped upon them a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,
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.
in order that no one should be allowed to buy or sell unless he had the mark--either the name of the Wild Beast or the number which his name represents.
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 scope for ingenuity. Let people of shrewd intelligence calculate the number of the Wild Beast; for it indicates a certain man, and his number is 666.
