Daniel 12
1 Te vaeng tue ah mangpa puei Michael pai vetih na pilnam paca te a pai puei ni. Namtom a om lamloh te vaeng tue hil aka om noek pawh citcai tue om ni. Tedae na pilnam khaw cabu dongah daek tangtae a hmuh boeih tah te khohnin ah loeih ni.
[The angel also said to me, ] “After those things happen, the great angel Michael, who protects the [Israeli] people, will appear. Then there will be a time when there will be great troubles/suffering. The troubles will be greater than any troubles/suffering since the nations began. At that time, all of your people whose names have been written in the book [containing the names of those who have eternal life] will be saved.
2 Diklai laipi la aka ip muelh khuikah khaw muep haenghang uh vetih a ngen rhoek te kumhal hingnah khuila, a ngen tah dungyan koletnah neh kokhahnah khuila om ni.
Many of those who have died [EUP] will become alive again. Some of them will live eternally [with God], and some will be eternally shamed/disgraced [in hell]. (questioned)
3 Te vaengah lungming rhoek tah bangyai khophaa bangla sae vetih muep aka tang sak tah aisi bangla kumhal due om yoeyah ni.
Those who were wise will shine as brightly as the sky [is bright when the sun is shining]. And those who have shown to others the way to live righteously will shine forever, like the stars [SIM].
4 Tedae Daniel nang loh a bawtnah tue hil ol he khoem lamtah cabu he catui hnah thil. Muep van thikthuek uh vetih mingnah khaw ping ni.
But as for you, Daniel, close up the scroll [on which you are writing], and seal it [in order that no one can open it] until the end [of the world] is near. [Before that happens, ] many people will travel rapidly here and there, learning more and more [about many things].”
5 Kai Daniel loh ka sawt vaengah, a tloe rhoi tah he kah sokko tuikaeng kah pakhat, ke kah sokko tuikaeng ah pakhat tarha pai rhoi.
When [that angel finished speaking], I, Daniel, looked up, and suddenly I saw two other [angels]. One was standing on the side of the river [where I was], and one was standing on the other side.
6 Te vaengah sokko tui sokah takhlawk pueinak aka bai hlang te, “Khobaerhambae a bawtnah me hil lae?” a ti nah.
One of them [called to] the other one, who was wearing linen/white clothes, who was now standing further up (OR, above) the river, “How long will it be until these amazing/frightening events end?”
7 Ka yaak vaengah sokko tui so ah takhlawk pueinak aka bai hlang te khaw a banvoei bantang te vaan la a thueng tih, tingtunnah khoning loengboeng vaengah a boek ham, pilnam cim kah kut a phop vaengah te te boeih a khah ham khaw kumhal kah hingnah neh a toemngam coeng.
The angel who was on the other side of (OR, above) the river raised his hands toward the sky, and solemnly promised, with the authority [MTY] of God, who lives forever, “It will be three and a half years. All these things will end after God’s people stop fighting against those who (persecute/cause trouble for/cause suffering for) them.”
8 Ka yaak dae ka yakming pawt dongah ka Boeipa te, “A bawtnah he balae?” ka ti nah.
I heard [what he said], but I did not understand it. So I asked, “Sir, what will be the result when these things end?”
9 Te dongah, “Daniel cet laeh, a bawtnah tue hil ol he khoem lamtah catui hnah thil.
He replied, “Daniel, you must leave now. [I cannot answer your question] because what it means must (be kept secret/not be revealed) [DOU] until the time when everything ends.
10 A meet uh vetih a ngo uh phoeiah muep a picai uh ni. Halang rhoek tah boe uh vetih a halang boeih te yakming uh mahpawh. Tedae lungming rhoek loh a yakming uh ni.
Many people will thoroughly purify their inner beings [DOU]. But wicked people will not understand these things. They will continue to be wicked. Only those who are wise will understand [these things].
11 Sainoek a khoe tue lamloh aka pong rhoek kah sarhingkoi a khueh hil te khohnin la thawngkhat yahnih sawmko lo.
[But I can tell you that before everything ends, ] there will be 1,290 days, from the time that people are prevented from offering sacrifices each day, that is, from the time that the abominable/disgusting thing is put in the temple.
12 Khohnin thawngkhat ya thum sawmthum panga a cup hil aka rhing tah a yoethen.
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 Tedae nang tah a bawtnah hil cet lamtah na duem bitni. Khohnin a bawtnah dongah tah na hmulung dongah na pai bitni,” a ti.
So [now I say] to you, continue to faithfully [trust God] until [your life on earth] ends. You will die [EUP], but when everything ends, you will receive your reward [from God].”
