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 king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar. This message was true. It was about a great war. Daniel understood the message when he had insight from the vision.
2 Te vaeng khohnin ah kai Daniel tah khohnin la yalh thum te nguekcoi neh ka om.
In those days I, Daniel, was in mourning for three 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.
I ate no delicacies, I ate no meat, I drank no wine, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the completion of three entire weeks.
4 Lamhmacuek hla kah hnin kul neh hnin li vaengah tah kai khaw Khiddekel tuiva puei kah langkaeng ah ka om.
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was beside the great river (that is, the Tigris),
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 looked up and saw a man dressed in linen, with a belt around his waist made of pure gold from 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.
His body was like topaz, and his face was like lightning. His eyes were like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet were like polished bronze. The sound of his words was like the sound of a great crowd.
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.
I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision. However, a great terror came on them, and they ran away 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.
So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; my bright appearance was turned into a ruined look, and no strength remained in me.
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 I heard his words—and as I heard them, I fell on my face in deep sleep with my face to the ground.
10 Te vaengah kutvang loh kai te tarha m'ben tih ka khuklu neh ka kut kutbom ah kai n'hlinghloek.
A hand touched me, and it made me tremble in 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.
The angel said to me, “Daniel, man greatly treasured, understand the words that I am speaking to you. Stand upright, for I have been sent to you.” When he had spoken this message to 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.
Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you set your mind to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your 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.
The prince of the kingdom of Persia resisted me, and I was kept there with the kings of Persia for twenty-one days. But Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me.
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 I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the last days. For the vision is for days yet to come.”
15 Kai taengah a thui vaengah he ol bangla ka maelhmai diklai la ka khueh tih ka tum uh.
While he was speaking to me using these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was unable to speak.
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.
One who was like the sons of man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and spoke to him who stood before me: “My master, I am in agony because of the vision; I have no strength left.
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.
I am your servant. How can I talk with my master? For I now have no strength, and there is no breath left in me.”
18 Te phoeiah a khoep tih hlang kah a mueimae bangla kai te m'ben tih kai n'thaphoh.
Again the one with an appearance of a man touched me and 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.
He said, “Do not be afraid, man greatly treasured. May peace be to you! Be strong now, be strong!” While he was speaking to me, I was strengthened. I said, “Let my master speak, for you have 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.
He said, “Do you know why I have come to you? I will soon return to fight against the prince of Persia. When I go, the prince of Greece will come.
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.
But I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. There is no one who shows himself to be strong with me against them, except Michael your prince.”
