Daniel 7
1 Babylon manghai Belshazzar kah a kum khat dongah Daniel loh amah kah thingkong dongah mang neh a lu dongkah mangthui te a hmuh. Te dongah a mang kah olka a thui te a cuinah ah a daek.
In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel, beheld, a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed, —then, the dream, he wrote, the sum of the matters, he told.
2 Daniel loh a thui vaengah, “Khoyin kah ka mangthui neh ka om vaengah ka hmuh. Te vaengah vaan kah khohli pali tah tuitun puei duela kilkul.
Daniel spake and said, I was looking, in my vision [which came] with the night, —when, lo! the four winds of the heavens, bursting forth upon the great sea;
3 Te phoeiah rhamsa len pali te tuitunli lamloh ha thoeng tih khat neh khat hlihloeh uh.
and four large wild beasts, coming up out of the sea, —diverse, one from another: —
4 A cuek te sathueng bangla om dae a phae tah atha kah bangla ka hmuh. A phae te a poelh uh tih diklai lamloh a huel uh duela ka om. Te phoeiah hlang bangla a khobom dongah pai tih anih te hlang kah thinko a paek.
The foremost, like a lion, having, the wings of an eagle, —I looked until the wings thereof, were torn out, and it was lifted up from the earth, and, upon its feet, like a man, was it caused to stand, and, the heart of a man, was given to it.
5 A pabae kah rhamsa pakhat bal tah vom neh lo u tih khat ben ah pai ne. A ka khui kah a no neh a no laklo ah vaerhuh cungthum a koeng tih anih te, “Thoo lamtah a saa he muep ca,” a ti nah.
And, lo! another wild beast, a second, resembling a bear, and, on one side, was it raised up, with three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth, —and, thus, were they saying to it, Rise! devour much flesh.
6 Te phoeikah te ka sawt vaengah pakhat tah kaihlaeng bangla tarha om. Te te a nam, a nam ah vaa pali kah a phae om. Rhamsa te lu pali lo tih anih te saithainah a paek.
After that, I was looking, and lo! another like a leopard, and it, had four wings of a bird upon its back, —and four heads, had the wild beast, and dominion, was given to it,
7 Te phoeiah khaw khoyin kah mangthui neh ka hmuh tih ka om. A pali nah rhamsa tah rhimom neh rhihom tih bahoeng tlung. Amah kah thi no a len khaw a ai tih a tip phoeiah a coih te a khobom neh a til. Te tah a taengkah rhamsa boeih lakah tloethoeh tih a ki parha lo.
After that, I was looking in the visions of the night, when lo! a fourth wild beast, terrible and well-hipped and exceeding strong, and it had, large teeth of iron, it devoured and brake in pieces, and, the residue—with its feet, it trampled down, —and, it, was diverse from all the wild beasts that were before it, and it had, ten horns.
8 A ki te ka poek tih ka om vaengah a ki ca pakhat te a laklung ah tarha cawn. A hmai, a hmai ah a ki cuek te pathum a phuk pauh. Tekah a ki dongah hlang mik bangla mik om tih a ka khaw a len la cal he.
I was considering the horns, when lo! another horn, a little one, came up among them, and, three of the former horns, were uprooted from before it, —and lo! eyes, like the eyes of a man, in this horn, and, a mouth, speaking great things.
9 Ngolkhoel a hol rhoek te ka sawt tih ka om li vaengah tampo khohnin te ngol. A pueinak tah vuel bangla bok tih a lu sam khaw tumul bangla bok. A ngolkhoel tah hmairhong hmai la om tih a kho te hmai la rhong.
I continued looking, until that, thrones, were placed, and, the Ancient of days, took his seat, —whose, garment, like snow, was white, and, the hair of his head, like pure wool, his throne, was flames of fire, his wheels, a burning fire.
10 Hmai sok te anih taeng lamloh phuet tih long. A thawng a thawng loh thotat uh tih amah taengah a sang a sang la pai uh. Laitloeknah te a hol tih cabu a rha uh.
A stream of fire, was flowing on and issuing forth from before him, a thousand thousand, waited upon him and, ten thousand times ten thousand, before him, stood up, —Judgment, took its seat, and, books, were opened.
11 Ka sawt tih ka om vaengah a ki loh a thui boeilen olka ol dongah rhamsa a ngawn hil ka om tih ka sawt. Te vaengah a pum te a thup pah tih hmaitak hmaisai khuila a pup.
I continued looking, then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking, I continued looking, until that the wild beast, was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning of the fire.
12 Rhamsa tloe rhoek te a saithainah a khoe pah dae amih hingnah ham te khoning neh a tue a congnah la a paek.
As concerning the rest of the beasts, their dominion, was taken away, —but, a lengthening of life, was given to them, until time and season.
13 Khoyin mangthui neh ka om tih ka hmuh. Te vaengah hlang capa phek te vaan kah khomai neh tarha ha pai tih tampo khohnin te a paan. Te phoeiah anih te amah taengla a nawn.
I continued looking in the visions of the night, when lo! with the clouds of the heavens, one like a son of man, was coming, —and, unto the Ancient of days, he approached, and, before him, they brought him near;
14 A taengah saithainah neh thangpomnah neh ram khaw a paek coeng. Te dongah namtu pilnam boeih neh olcom olcae loh amah te a bawk uh. A saithainah khaw kumhal kah saithainah la om tih nong mahpawh. Te dongah a ram he tim tlaih mahpawh.
and, unto him, were given dominion and dignity and kingship, that all peoples, races and tongues, unto him, should do service, —his dominion, was an age-abiding dominion, which should not pass away, and, his kingdom, that which should not be destroyed.
15 Kai Daniel he ka pum khui ah ka mueihla mawn tih ka lu kah mangthui loh kamah n'cahawh.
The spirit of, me, Daniel, was grieved in the midst of the sheath, —and, the visions of my head, terrified me.
16 Aka pai khuikah pakhat te ka paan tih a cungkuem te anih taengah rhep ka dawt. Te dongah kai hamla a thui tih ol kah thuingaihnah te kai m'ming sak.
I drew near unto one of them who stood by, and made exact enquiry of him, concerning all this, —so he told me, and, the interpretation of the things, made he known unto me.
17 Amih rhamsa len pali he tah diklai lamloh manghai pali pai ni.
These great wild beasts, which are four, —are four kings who shall arise out of the earth;
18 Tedae ram te sangkoek kah aka cim rhoek loh a dang uh vetih ram te dungyan duela a pang uh ni. Dungyan kah dungyan duela a pang ni.
but the holy ones of the Highest, shall receive the kingdom, —and shall possess the kingdom for the age, yea for the age of ages.
19 Te vaengah rhamsa pali te oltak la ka ngaih. Amih boeih te a cungkuem dongah a hlihloeh la om tih a no mah bahoeng a rhimom. A no te thi tih a kuttin te rhohum, a hnom tih a ai phoeikah a coih te a khobom neh a til.
Then desired I to be sure, concerning the fourth wild beast, which was diverse from all of them, —exceeding terrible, whose, teeth, were iron, and, his claws, of bronze, he devoured, brake in pieces, and, the residue—with his feet, he trampled down;
20 A lu dongkah a ki parha neh pakhat aka cawn te khaw, a taengah pathum rhoek a rhul la a rhul te khaw, ki loh a mik a khueh bal tih a ka loh a len la a cal khaw, a hui lakah a mangthui a len kawng khaw ka ngaih.
also concerning the ten horns, which were in his head, and the other, which came up, and there fell—from among them that were before it—three, —and this horn which had, eyes, and, a mouth, speaking great things, and, his look, was more proud than his fellows:
21 Ka om tih ka sawt vaengah tekah ki loh hlang cim rhoek taengah caemtloeknah a saii tih amih te a noeng uh.
I continued looking, when, this horn, made war with the holy ones, —and prevailed against them:
22 Tampo khohnin a pai hil laitloeknah he sangkoek kah a cim rhoek ham a paek coeng. Te dongah a tue a pha vaengah ram he aka cim rhoek loh a pang uh.
until that the Ancient of Days, came, and, justice, was granted to the holy ones of the Highest, —and, the time, arrived, that the holy ones should possess, the kingdom.
23 Rhamsa a pali te, “Diklai ah ram a pali, pali la om ni. Te tah ram boeih lakah tloethoeh vetih diklai pum he a hnom ni. A taelh vetih a tip sak ni,” a ti.
Thus, he said, The fourth wild beast, is a fourth kingdom which shall be in the earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, —and shall devour all the earth, and shall trample it down, and break it in pieces.
24 Ki parha tah ram khui lamloh manghai parha pai vetih amih lamloh a tloe phoe bal ni. Anih tah a cuek kah lakah tloethoeh vetih manghai pathum rhoek te a kunyun sak ni.
And, the ten horns of that kingdom, are ten kings who will arise, —and, another, will arise after them, and, he, will be diverse from the former ones, and, three kings, will he cast down;
25 Sangkoek kah sangkoek soehsalnah te ol la a thui vetih sangkoek kah a cim rhoek te a hnaemtaek ni. Khoning neh oltlueh te thovael hamla cai vetih a kut ah a tue neh kum dongkah kum rhakthuem a paek ni.
and, words against the Most High, will he speak, and, the holy ones of the Highest, will he afflict, —and will hope to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand, for a season and seasons and the dividing of a season,
26 Tedae laitloeknah a khueh vetih yoop ham neh a bawtnah hil thup hamla anih kah saithainah te a khoe pah ni.
but, Judgment, will take its seat, —and, his dominion, will they take away, to destroy and make disappear unto an end.
27 Te vaengah ram neh saithainah khaw, vaan pum hmuiah ram kah lennah khaw sangkoek kah a cim pilnam taengah a paek ni. A ram he dungyan ram la a om dongah khohung boeih loh anih taengah tho a thueng uh vetih boe a ngai uh ni.
And, the kingdom, and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under all the heavens, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Highest, —his kingdom, is an age-abiding kingdom, and, all the dominions, unto him, will render service, and show themselves obedient.
28 He hil he ol bawtnah la om. Kai Daniel khaw, ka poeknah yet tih kamah n'cahawh. Te dongah ka aa khaw kai soah yat dae ol he ka lungbuei ah ka khoem.
Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, greatly did my thoughts terrify me, and, my bright looks, were changed upon me, but, the matter—in mine own heart, I kept.
