Daniel 8
1 Manghai Belshazzar ram kah a kum thum dongah tah mangthui te kai Daniel kamah taengah phoe tih lamhma kah te ni kai taengah koep a phoe.
In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar a vision appeared to me, [even] to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 Mangthui neh ka hmuh bangla a om vaengah ka sawt hatah kamah tah Elam paeng kah Shushan rhalmah im kana om. Mangthui ah koep ka hmuh bal vaengah tah kai he Ulai tuilong ah ka om bal.
And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Aelam, and I was on the [bank of] Ubal.
3 Ka mik te ka huel tih ka sawt vaengah tuilong dan ah tutal pakhat tarha pai. Te te ki panit om tih a ki te bok sen. Pakhat te a pabae lakah sen tih a sen te a hnuk ah thoeng.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a ram standing in front of the Ubal; and he had high horns; and one was higher than the other, and the high one came up last.
4 Tutal te ka hmuh vaengah khotlak la, tlangpuei la, tuithim la a thoeh tih mulhing boeih loh a mikhmuh ah pai thai pawh. Anih kut lamloh aka huul khaw a om pawt dongah a kolonah bangla a saii tih rhoeng.
And I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was none that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great.
5 Kai khaw ka om na kungah ka yakming vaengah khotlak lamkah maae tal tarha ha thoeng. Te long te diklai hmai boeih a poe tih diklai khaw ben pawh. Maae tal te a mik laklo ah mingphanah ki om.
And I was considering, and, behold, a he-goat came from the southwest on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the earth: and the goat [had] a horn between his eyes.
6 Te vaengah ki boei tutal taengla cet tih tuilong hmai ah a pai te ka hmuh. Te phoeiah a taengla a thadueng kosi neh yong.
And he came to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing in front of the Ubal, and he ran at him with the violence of his strength.
7 Te phoeiah tutal taengla a ben tih tutal te a phaep. Tutal te a thoeh tih a ki rhoi te tlawt. Tutal te anih hmai ah pai hamla a khuiah thadueng khueh pawt tih diklai la a voeih. Tutal te a suntlae tih anih kut lamloh aka huul om pawh.
And I saw him coming up close to the ram, and he was furiously enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke both his horns: and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him on the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Maae tal bahoeng rhoeng tih a thaom dae a ki len tah tlawt. Te phoeiah a yueng pali te mingphanah la cawn tih vaan khohli pali taengla hoi uh.
And the he-goat grew exceedingly great: and when he was strong, his great horn was broken; and four other [horns] rose up in its place toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Te rhoek khuiah pakhat dong lamloh a ki noe pakhat cawn dae tuithim la, khocuk la, kirhang taengla muep rhoeng.
And out of one of them came forth one strong horn, and it grew very great toward the south, and toward the host:
10 Vaan caempuei taengla rhoeng tih caempuei taeng lamloh, aisi taeng lamloh diklai la cungku tih amih te a suntlae.
and it magnified itself to the host of heaven; and there fell to the earth [some] of the host of heaven and of the stars, and they trampled on them.
11 Te phoeiah caempuei mangpa la a pomsang dae anih lamkah sainoek te a kuel a kuel tih a rhokso hmuen te a voeih pah.
And [this shall be] until the chief captain shall have delivered the captivity: and by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed, and he prospered; and the holy place shall be made desolate.
12 Boekoeknah he caempuei neh sainoek yueng la a khueh. Te vaengah oltak te diklai la a voeih tih a saii daengah thaihtak.
And a sin-offering was given for the sacrifice, and righteousness was cast down to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Te phoeiah hlangcim pakhat loh a thui te ka yaak tih, “Hlangcim pakhat loh pakhat taengah, ‘Sainoek kah mangthui khaw me hil nim a thui ve? Boekoeknah loh hmuencim te dingrhak la khueh ham neh caempuei kah cawtkoi ham khaw,” a ti.
And I heard one saint speaking, and a saint said to a certain one speaking, How long shall the vision continue, [even] the removal of the sacrifice, and the bringing in of the sin of desolation; and [how long] shall the sanctuary and host be trampled?
14 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Hlaem mincang thawng hnih ya thum duela om vetih hmuencim te a ciim ni,” a ti.
And he said to him, Evening and morning [there shall be] two thousand and four hundred days; and [then] the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
15 Kai Daniel kamah khaw mangthui ka hmuh vaengah yakmingnah ka tlap. Te vaengah hlang kah mueimae bangla kamah hmai ah tarha pai.
And it came to pass, as I, [even] I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought to understand it, that, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 Ulai lamkah hlang ol ka yaak vaengah pang tih, “Gabriel, a hmuethma he n'yakming sak lah,” a ti.
And I heard the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ubal; and he called, and said, Gabriel, cause that man to understand the vision.
17 Te dongah ka paihmuen la ha thoeih tih anih ham pha vaengah ka let. Ka maelhmai dongah ka bakop dae kai te, “Hlang capa aw, mangthui a bawtnah tue te yakming laeh,” a ti.
And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he came, I was struck with awe, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man: for yet the vision is for an appointed time.
18 Kai ham a thui vaengah ka maelhmai neh diklai la ka ip coeng. Tedae kai te n'taek tih ka paihmuen la kai n'thoh.
And while he spoke with me, I fell upon my face to the earth: and he touched me, and set me on my feet.
19 Te phoeiah, “A bawtnah khoning vaengkah kosi bawtnah dongah aka om ham te nang taengah kan ming sak ne,” a ti.
And he said, Behold, I make you know the things that shall come to pass at the end of the wrath: for the vision [is] yet for an appointed time.
20 Tutal ki boei na hmuh te Madai neh Persia manghai ne.
The ram which you saw that had the horns is the king of the Medes and Persians.
21 Maae tal tah Greek manghai tih a mik laklo kah ki a len tah lamhma kah manghai ni.
The he-goat is the King of the Greeks: and the great horn which was between his eyes, he is the first king.
22 Te te a tlawt phoeiah a yueng pali a cawn he namtom lamkah ram pali pai suidae a thadueng neh om mahpawh.
And [as for] the one that was broken, in whose place there stood up four horns, four kings shall arise out of his nation, but not in their [own] strength.
23 Hmailong ah amih ram khaw boekoek cung vetih maelhmai aka tlung neh olkael aka yakming manghai phoe ni.
And at the latter time of their kingdom, when their sins are coming to the full, there shall arise a king bold in countenance, and understanding riddles.
24 Te vaengah a thadueng rhoeng suidae a thadueng neh om mahpawh. Khobaerhambae khaw a phae vetih thaihtak ni. Te phoeiah a saii vetih pilnu neh pilnam cim khaw a phae ni.
And his power [shall be] great, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and prosper, and practise, and shall destroy mighty men, and the holy people.
25 A lungmingnah nen khaw, a kut dongkah thailatnah nen khaw thaihtak vetih a thinko ah pomsang ni. Ommongnah dongah khaw muep paci vetih mangpa rhoek kah mangpa taengah pai bal ni. Tedae hlang kut mueh nen ni a bawt eh.
And the yoke of his chain shall prosper: [there is] craft in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by craft shall destroy many, and he shall stand up for the destruction of many, and shall crush them as eggs in his hand.
26 Hlaem neh mincang kah a hmuethma loh oltak amah te a thui coeng. Tedae namah kum a sen ham la mangthui te khoem laeh.
And the vision of the evening and morning that was mentioned is true: and do you seal the vision; for [it is] for many days.
27 Kai Daniel khaw ka om dae khohnin loh nue coeng. Ka thoh neh manghai kah bitat te ka saii. Te dongah a hmuethma nen khaw ka pong tih ka yakming voel pawh.
And I Daniel fell asleep, and was sick: then I arose, and did the king's business; and I wondered at the vision, and there was none that understood [it].
