Awiphawng 4

1 Cekcoengawh ka toek hlai, ka haiawh khan chawh ak awng qu ce hu nyng. Ka venawh uut awi amyihna lamma cyk na kang zaak awi ing, “Hang law lah, vek coengawh ak awm hly kawi ce nim huh vang,” ni tina hy.

After these things I saw, and lo, a door opened in the heaven, and the first voice that I heard [is] as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, 'Come up hither, and I will shew thee what it behoveth to come to pass after these things;'

2 Cawh Myihla ing awm pahoei nih nyng, ka haiawh khan boei ngawihdoelh awh thlang pynoet ce hu nyng.

and immediately I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne was set in the heaven, and upon the throne is [one] sitting,

3 Ce boei ngawihdoelh awh ak ngawi thlang ce jasper ingkaw karnelian ing lo qu hy nih. Lungsen suisak amyihna thlimha ing zawl khoep hy.

and He who is sitting was in sight like a stone, jasper and sardine: and a rainbow was round the throne in sight like an emerald.

4 Cawhkaw boei ngawihdoelh ce ak chang boei ngawihdoelh a thong pupthli ce ngawi hy. Cawhkaw a hqamcakhqi cetaw hik bawk bai unawh ami lu awh sui lumyk myk boeih uhy.

And around the throne [are] thrones twenty and four, and upon the thrones I saw the twenty and four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and they had upon their heads crowns of gold;

5 Boei ngawihdoelh a venawh kawng khawkphla amyihna vang hlap hlap nawh khawhum ak awi amyihna ce hum hy. Boei ngawihdoelh a haiawh, maivang khqih ce vang uhy. Cawhkaw maivang cetaw Khawsa Myihla khqih ni.

and out of the throne proceed do lightnings, and thunders, and voices; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne, which are the Seven Spirits of God,

6 Boei ngawihdoelh a hai cetaw hlalang ak cil soeih tuicun amyihna awm hy. Boei ngawihdoelh ing ak chung khoep ang lung kir awh, a hai ben ingkaw a hu benawh mik hqoeng na ak awm k-oeih sai ak hqing pupthli awm hy.

and before the throne [is] a sea of glass like to crystal, and in the midst of the throne, and round the throne, [are] four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind;

7 Lamma cyk awhkaw ik-oeih sai ak hqing pynoet taw samthyyn ing lo qu hy nih, apak thumnaak taw thlanghqing amyihna haai tahy, a pupthlinaak taw huu ak ding huili amyihna awm hy.

and the first living creature [is] like a lion, and the second living creature [is] like a calf, and the third living creature hath the face as a man, and the fourth living creature [is] like an eagle flying.

8 Cawhkaw ik-oeih sai ak hqing pupthli tloek ing ang hla kquk ta boeih nawh a pum boeih ce mik hqoeng na awm hy, ang hla ak kep awh awm mik ce awm hy. Than dai a boet kaa qoena: “Ak ciim, ak ciim, ak ciim taw Boeimang Bawipa Khawsa ni, anih taw ak awm hawh, ak awm huili ingkaw ak awm hly kawi na awm hy,” tinawh khy uhy.

And the four living creatures, each by itself severally, had six wings, around and within [are] full of eyes, and rest they have not day and night, saying, 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is coming;'

9 Cawhkaw ik-oeih sai ak hqingkhqi ing thangleeknaak, kqihchahnaak ingkaw ymnaak ce boei ngawihdoelh awh ak ngawi kumqui ak hqing a venawh ami peek awh, (aiōn g165)

and when the living creatures do give glory, and honour, and thanks, to Him who is sitting upon the throne, who is living to the ages of the ages, (aiōn g165)

10 boei ngawihdoelh awh ak ngawi a hqamca a thong pupthli tloek ing a haiawh koep unawh kumqui ak hqing ce bawk uhy. A mimah a boei lumyk ce anih ak khanawh tloeng unawh: (aiōn g165)

fall down do the twenty and four elders before Him who is sitting upon the throne, and bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)

11 Kaimih a Bawipa ingkaw Khawsa, thangleeknaak, kqihchahnaak ingkaw thaawmnaak ce nang ing na huh aham tyng qoe hy. Ikawtih nang ing soepkep boeih sai hyk ti, namah ak kawngaih amyihna cekkhqi ce sai tiksaw awm uhy,” ti uhy.

'Worthy art Thou, O Lord, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power, because Thou — Thou didst create the all things, and because of Thy will are they, and they were created.'
