Daniel 11
1 Kai khaw Mede Darius kah a kum khat dongah tah anih taengah lunghim la om ham neh moem hamla kai m'pai sak.
“As for me, during the first year that Darius was king, I helped and encouraged Michael.”
2 Te dongah nang taengah oltak kan thui coeng. Persia ah manghai pathum phoe pueng vetih a pali tah anmih boeih lakah a len la khuehtawn neh boei ni ne. Te vaengah a thadueng neh a khuehtawn loh Javan ram pum te a haeng ni.
[The angel also said], “And what I am going to reveal to you now will truly [happen]. There will be three more kings to rule Persia, [one after the other]. Then there will be a fourth king, who will be much richer than the others. As a result of [his giving] a lot of money [to people, they will enable him to] become very powerful. Then he will incite/persuade many nations [HYP] [to fight] against the kingdom of Greece.
3 Manghai hlangrhalh a pai vaengah ukkung boeiping la a taemrhai vetih a kolonah bangla a saii ni.
Then a very powerful king will appear [in Greece]. He will rule over a very large empire, and he will do whatever he wants to do.
4 Anih a pai neh a ram te rhek vetih vaan khohli pali taengla a haeh ni. A hmailong te khui pawt vetih a taemrhai ham tluk mahpawh. A ram te a phong pah vetih te rhoek bal lakah a tloe taengla a paek ni.
But when he has become very powerful, [he will die]. Then his kingdom will be divided into four parts. Kings who are not his descendants will rule, but they will not be as powerful as he was.
5 Tuithim manghai khaw moem uh suidae a mangpa rhoek lamlong khaw anih lakah moem uh vetih a khohung te ukkung boeiping loh a taemrhai ni.
Then the King of Egypt [MTY] will become very powerful. But one of his army generals will become more powerful than he is, and he will rule a bigger area.
6 Kum a thoknah dongah tah patai uh thae vetih tuithim manghai canu rhoek loh vanat la saii hamla tlangpuei manghai te a paan ni. Tedae a ban thaa ueh pawt vetih cak mahpawh. A ban khaw a puei taengah a paek vetih anih aka sa neh anih aka moem rhoek khaw hnin at dongah hma ni.
Several years later, the King of Egypt and the King of Syria will make an (alliance/agreement to help each other) [MTY]. The King of Syria will give his daughter to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But she will not be able to influence him [MTY] very long, and that woman, her husband, her child, and her servants will all be killed/assassinated.
7 A kho ah a yung a pae te cawn vetih tatthai te a paan ni. Tlangpuei manghai kah lunghim khuila kun vetih amih a saii nen te moem uh ni.
Soon after that, one of her relatives [MET] will become King [of Egypt]. His army will attack the army of Syria. They will enter the fortress of the soldiers of Syria and defeat them.
8 Amih kah pathen rhoek khaw, a boeimang neh, a sahnaih hnopai neh, cak neh sui khaw Egypt loh tamna la a khuen ni. Te daengah ni anih te kum a yet tlangpuei manghai taengah a pai eh.
They will return to Egypt, taking the statues of the gods [of the people of Syria] and many items made of silver and gold that had been dedicated to those gods. Then for several years his army will not attack [the army of] the King of Syria.
9 Te phoeiah tuithim manghai kah ram te a muk suidae amah kho la mael ni.
Then the army of the King of Syria will invade Egypt, but they will soon return to Syria.
10 A ca rhoek neh a ca rhoek tah huek uh tih tatthai hlangping la muep tingtun uh ni. Te vaengah pakhat te kun rhoe kun vetih a yo phoeiah a poeng ni. A mael vaengah khaw huek uh vetih a lunghim, a lunghim duela huek uh ni.
However, the sons of the King of Syria will prepare to start a war, and they will gather a large army. That army will march [south] and spread all over [Israel] like a huge flood. They will attack a strong fortress [in the south of Israel].
11 Tuithim manghai te pae vetih a paan ni. Anih taengah tlangpuei manghai neh a vathoh vetih hlangping neh muep a pai thil ni. Tedae hlangping te anih kut ah ni a paek eh.
Then the King of Egypt, having become very angry, will march [with his army north] from Egypt and fight against the army of Syria. The King [of Syria] will gather together a very large army, but [the army of the King of Egypt] will defeat them.
12 Hlangping a khuen vaengah a thinko te a pomsang la a pomsang ni. Tedae thawngrha a cungku sak akhaw tanglue mahpawh.
The King of Egypt will become very proud because of [his army] having killed a very large number of soldiers [from Syria], but his army will not continue to win battles.
13 Tlangpuei manghai te mael vetih lamhma kah pilnu hlangping la pai ni. Kum tue a bawtnah dongah tah tatthai pilnu neh, khuehtawn boeiping neh pai rhoe pai ni.
The King of Syria will again gather together an army that will be bigger than the one that he had before. After a few years, he will again march [south on their way to Egypt] with a large army and a lot of equipment [for fighting battles].
14 Te vaeng tue ah tuithim manghai te muep a pai thil uh vetih mangthui phoe sak hamla na pilnam kah dingca ca a phueih suidae paloe uh ni.
At that time, many people in Egypt will rebel against their king. In order to fulfill a vision that [one of their leaders had seen], some violent/lawless people from your country [of Israel] will also rebel [in order to not be controlled by Egypt any more], but they will be defeated.
15 Te phoeiah tlangpuei manghai ha pai vetih tanglung a lun ni. Te vaengah hmuencak khopuei te a loh vetih tuithim kah ban loh oel mahpawh. A pilnam hlangrhoei rhoek pataeng khaw a pai hamla thadueng tal ni.
Then the King of Syria will come [south with his army] and pile up dirt against the walls of a city that is well protected, and they will [break through those walls and] they will capture the city. The soldiers from Egypt [who have come to defend that city], even the best troops, will not be strong enough to continue to fight.
16 Anih taengla aka pha Te a kolonah bangla a saii vetih a mikhmuh ah pai uh mahpawh. Kirhang khohmuen te a thoh vetih amah kut khuiah a tlak sak ni.
So the King of Syria will do whatever he wants to, and no one will be able to oppose him. [His army] will occupy the glorious land [of Israel] and completely control/subdue it.
17 A ram pum kah saithainah neh kun hamla a mikhmuh ah a tawn ni. A taengah a thuem la a saii vetih a canu a yuu la a paek ni. Te te phae cakhaw coeng hae pawt vetih a taengah om hae mahpawh.
Then he will decide to march [south] with all the soldiers from his kingdom. He will make an alliance with the King [of Egypt] and in order that his own daughter will [help him to] destroy the kingdom of Egypt, he will give her to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But that plan will fail.
18 Te phoeiah mael vetih sanglak la a maelhmai a khueh ni. Te vaengah muep a loh akhaw a kokhahnah rhalboei khaw amah la kangkuen vetih a kokhahnah loh om kolla amah taengla mael ni.
After that, the [army of] the King of Syria will attack the regions that are close to the [Mediterranean] Sea, and his [army] will conquer many of them. But [the army of] a leader from another country will defeat the army of Syria and will stop their king from continuing to be proud. He will do to the King of Syria what he deserved for being very insolent.
19 Te vaengah a maelhmai Te a khohmuen kah lunghim taengla la mael ni. Tedae paloe vetih a cungku phoeiah phoe voel mahpawh.
Then the King of Syria will return to the fortresses in his own land. But he will be defeated, and he will (die/be assassinated) [EUP] there.
20 Anih hmuen kah aka pai loh ram kah boeilennah soah laisuk a paan sak ni. Tedae khohnin pakhat dongah bawt vetih thintoek neh om kolla caemtloek khuiah khaw om mahpawh.
Then another man will (succeed him/become king). That king will send one of his officers to oppress the people [in Jerusalem] by forcing them to pay big taxes, in order to get more money for his kingdom. But after a few years [HYP] that king will die, but he will not die as a result of people being angry with him or in a battle.
21 Anih yueng la aka pai khaw a hnaep uh vetih a taengah ram kah mueithennah te pae uh mahpawh. Tedae ommongnah khuila a pha vaengah ram te longtlang longah a moem ni.
The next King of Syria will be an evil man who, [because he will not be the son of the previous king, ] will not have the right to become king. But he will come when people do not expect it, and he will become king by tricking the people.
22 Lungpook bantha khaw a mikhmuh dong lamloh khoe uh vetih paipi rhaengsang bal khaw bawt ni.
When his army advances, they will attack any armies that oppose him and destroy those armies. They will also kill God’s Supreme Priest.
23 Tedae anih neh a patai lamlong tah hlangthai palat la om vetih pongpa ni. Te vaengah namtom hlangsi neh rhoeng ni.
By making treaties/alliances with [the rulers of] other nations, he will deceive them, and he will become very powerful, even though he rules a nation that does not have a lot of people.
24 Ommongnah neh paeng ah thaomthathueng la kun vetih a napa neh a napa kah a napa rhoek loh a saii uh noek pawt te a saii ni. Kutbuem neh hnorhawt khaw amih ham khuehtawn la a haeh ni. A tuetang bangla a kopoek neh hmuencak te a moeh ni.
Suddenly his [army] will invade a province that is very wealthy, and they will do things that none of his ancestors did: they will capture in battles all kinds of possessions from the people whom they defeat. Then the king will divide those possessions among his friends. He will also plan [for his army] to attack fortresses [in Egypt], but only for a short time.
25 Tuithim manghai neh tatthai pilnu taengah a thadueng neh a thinko te a haeng ni. Tuithim manghai khaw caemtloek khuiah tatthai neh muep huek uh vetih pilnu khungdaeng ni. Tedae anih te kopoek neh a moeh uh dongah pai thai mahpawh.
He will courageously/boldly conscript/gather a large and powerful army to attack [the army of] the king of Egypt. But the King of Egypt will prepare to fight against them with a huge and powerful army. However, someone will deceive him, with the result that his plan will not be successful.
26 A buh aka ca rhoek long pataeng amah te a bawt uh vetih amah caem rhoek Te a muelh vaengah rhok la muep cungku uh ni.
Even his most trusted advisors will plan to get rid of him. His army will be defeated and many of his soldiers will be killed.
27 Amih manghai rhoi tah a thinko ah boethae neh caboei pakhat dongah laithae a thui rhoi dae thaihtak mahpawh. A khoning vaengah a bawtnah koep om ni.
Then the two [kings who both want to rule that area] will sit down at the same table and eat together, but they will both lie to each other. Neither of them will get what he wants, because it will not be the time [that God] has determined/set [for them to rule Egypt].
28 Khuehtawn neh amah kho la muep mael sitoe cakhaw a thinko ah cimcaihnah paipi a poe nen ni amah kho la a mael eh.
[The army of] the King [of Syria] will return to Syria, taking with them all the valuable things [that they had captured]. The king will be determined to get rid of the Supreme Priest of the Jewish people. He will do what he wants to [in Israel], and then return to his own country.

The army of Rome will come in ships and oppose his army and cause him to be afraid. So he will be very angry, and [with his army] he will return [to Israel] and try to get rid of the Supreme Priest.

The King [of Syria] will do what he wants to. He will boast and say that he is greater than any god. He will even revile the Supreme God. He will be able to do what he wants until the time that [God] punishes [MTY] him. [God] will accomplish what he has planned.
37 A napa rhoek kah pathen te yakming pawt vetih huta sahnaih te khaw, pathen cungkuem te khaw yakming mahpawh. Tedae a cungkuem soah pomsang uh ni.
