Daniel 10
1 Persia manghai Cyrus kah kum thum dongah, a ming Belteshazzar la a khue Daniel taengah ol a phoe pah. Te dongah oltak ol neh caempuei a len kah la om dae ol te a yakming tih a hmuethma khaw yakmingnah a khueh.
In the third year of Cyrus the king of Persia a word was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word is the truth, but the time appointed is long off: and he noted the word, and took notice of it in the appearance.
2 Te vaeng khohnin ah kai Daniel tah khohnin la yalh thum te nguekcoi neh ka om.
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 Buh tui athenla ka ca pawt tih maeh neh misurtui khaw ka ka khuiah kun pawh. Khohnin yalh thum a cup hil situi ka hluk rhoe ka hluk pawh.
Costly food did I not eat, and flesh and wine came not in my mouth, nor did I at all anoint myself, till three whole weeks were elapsed.
4 Lamhmacuek hla kah hnin kul neh hnin li vaengah tah kai khaw Khiddekel tuiva puei kah langkaeng ah ka om.
And on the four and twentieth day of the first month, while I was by the side of the great river, which is Chiddekel,
5 Ka mik te ka huel tih ka sawt vaengah hlang pakhat takhlawk pueinak neh tarha om tih a cinghen te Uphaz sui a nak.
I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold there was a certain man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz;
6 A pum tah timsuih bangla om tih a maelhmai tah rhaek kah a mueimae bangla om. A mik tah hmaithoi hmai bangla om tih a ban neh a kho tah rhohum ngo kah a pang bangla om. A olthui ol tah hlangping ol bangla om.
And his body was also like the chrysolite, and his face, like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were like torches of fire, and his arms and his feet, like the color of polished copper, and the sound of his words was like the noise of a multitude.
7 Kai Daniel kamah bueng long ni mangthui te ka hmuh. Tedae ka taengah aka om hlang rhoek loh mangthui te a hmuh uh moenih. Tedae amih te thuennah loh muep a tlak thil tih thuh hamla yong uh.
And I Daniel saw alone this appearance; but the men that were with me did not see the appearance: nevertheless a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Kai khaw kamah bueng la ka cul tih mangthui a len he ka hmuh vaengah tah ka khuikah thadueng loh sueng voel pawh. Te vaengah ka mueithennah he kai taengah kutcaihnah la poeh tih thadueng nuen voel pawh.
And I was left by myself alone, and I saw this great appearance, and there remained no strength in me; and my healthy color was changed on me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 A olthui ol te ka yaak tih a olthui ol te ka yaak. Kai khaw ka om dae ka mik ip tih ka maelhmai diklai la ka khueh.
Then heard I the sound of his words; and as I heard the sound of his words, I sank in amazement on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 Te vaengah kutvang loh kai te tarha m'ben tih ka khuklu neh ka kut kutbom ah kai n'hlinghloek.
And, behold, a hand touched me, and it moved me upon my knees and the palms of my hands.
11 Te vaengah kai te, “Tongpa sanaep Daniel, nang taengah ka thui bangla ol te yakming lamtah namah paihmuen ah pai. Nang taengah kai n'tueih coeng he. He ol he kai taengah a thui vaengah ka pai tih ka thuen.
And he said unto me, O Daniel, the man greatly beloved, mark well the words that I speak unto thee, and stand on thy standing-place; for now have I been sent unto thee. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood up trembling.
12 Te phoeiah kai te, “Daniel rhih boeh, lamhmacuek khohnin lamloh yakming ham neh na Pathen mikhmuh ah yalh hamla na lungbuei te na paek. Na ol a yaak uh dongah kai khaw nang ol bangla ka lo coeng,” a ti.
And he said unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to obtain understanding, and to fast before thy God, were thy words heard: and I am come in consequence of thy words.
13 Tedae Persia ram kah mangpa tah kai hmai ah hnin kul hnin khat pai. Persia manghai rhoek taengah kamah la hnap ka cul dongah kai bom hamla mangpa lamhma rhoek khuikah pakhat Michael te tarha ha pai.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia stood up against me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I obtained the victory there with the kings of Persia.
14 A khohnin kah mangthui a om pueng dongah hmailong tue ah na pilnam taengah aka thoeng ham te nang yakming sak ham ka lo.
Now am I come to make thee understand what is to befall thy people, in the latter days; for the vision is yet for the [coming] days.
15 Kai taengah a thui vaengah he ol bangla ka maelhmai diklai la ka khueh tih ka tum uh.
And when he spoke unto me such words, I directed my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
16 Te dongah hlang ca rhoek kah mueiloh bangla ka hmuilai te tarha ham ben. Ka ka ka ang tih ka thui vaengah ka hmai ah aka pai te, “Ka boeipa aw, mangthui rhangneh kai soah ka tloh la poeh tih ka thadueng sai pawh.
And, behold, something like the form of the sons of men touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and I spoke, and said unto him that stood opposite to me, O my lord, because of the appearance my pains suddenly overcame me, and I have retained no strength.
17 Ka boeipa taengah thui ham he ka boeipa kah sal loh metlam a noeng eh? Kai khaw tahae lamkah he ka khuiah thadueng thoo voel pawt tih ka khuikah ka hiil sueng voel pawh,” ka ti nah.
And how shall the servant of this my lord be able to speak with this my lord? And as for me, from that moment there remained no strength in me, and no breath was left in me.
18 Te phoeiah a khoep tih hlang kah a mueimae bangla kai te m'ben tih kai n'thaphoh.
Then there touched me again something like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me;
19 Te vaengah, “Sanaep hlang aw rhih boeh, nang taengah ngaimongnah om saeh. Moem uh lamtah thaom sak. Kai taengah a thui bangla ka thaom,” a ti. Tedae “Kai nan thaphoh bangla ka boei loh thui saeh,” a ti.
And he said, Fear not, O man greatly beloved: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spoke with me, I felt myself strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20 Te vaengah, “Na ming a? Balae tih nang taengla ka lo? Persia mangpa taengah vathoh hamla ka mael pawn vetih ka caeh neh Javan mangpa ha pai ni te.
Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and as I am going forth, lo, the prince of Javan is coming.
21 Te cakhaw oltak ca khuikah a hlum te ni na taengah kan thui eh. Nang mangpa Michael bueng phoeiah tah te rhoek te kai taengah aka moem pakhat khaw a om moenih.
Nevertheless will I tell thee what is noted down in the writing of truth: —and there is none that holdeth with me [to assist me] against those, except Michael your prince.
