Daniel 10
1 Persiate leng, Cyrus kitipa, leng chankal kumthum lhinkumin, Belteshazzar jong kisah Daniel chun, themgao thilmu in mu aneikitin ahi. Aman hichea athilmu chu, khonunga hesoh gentheina leh gal nasatah phat hung lhung tei ding, kiphong doh ahi, ti ahetai.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.
2 Hiche themgao thilmua mu kanei laitah chun, Daniel keima, hapta thum lhingset lunghem puldouva ka um laitah ahi.
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks.
3 Chuche phatsungse se chun, keiman anneh alhum atwi kanepoi. Sa jong kanepon chuleh lengpitwi jong kakam sunga alutkha poi. Chuleh hapta thum lhinkah chun, thao namtwi jong kinu louvin ka um’e.
I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.
4 Lhamasa nisomni leh nili lhinnin, keima vadung minthang Tigris pang’a kana dingin ahi.
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris,
5 Keima kadahin kavet leh, tupat ponnem kisil mipa khat kamun, ama chun akong’a sana thengsel konggah akigahin ahi.
I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.
6 Amapa tahsa chu song mantam abangin, amaiso jong kolphe bangin avahin, chuleh amit teni jong meikou kide abang e. Abanjang teni leh akeng teni jong, sum-eng kinot jolsel bang in avalin, chuleh a awso jong mihon tamtah awgin abangin ahi.
His body was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.
7 Daniel keima, changsehin, hiche themgao thilmu hi kamu ahi. Kaum khompi miho chun hiche kathilmu chu amupouve. Ahin, amaho atijauvin, chuleh kiseldoh dingin ajam mang soh tauve.
Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them, and they ran and hid themselves.
8 Chuin keima ka changsehin eidalhauvin, chuche themgao thilmu nasatah chu kamu tai. Hichun katha jouse abeiyin, kamelso akikhelin chuleh thanei louvin kalel lheh jengin ahi.
So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.
9 Chuin keiman mipa thusei chu kajan, chutia ama awgin kajah chun, tol-ah kalhun, kamai kasulutin chuleh kathimilliu tan ahi.
I heard the sound of his words, and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.
10 Hichepet chun khut khatin eihinthamin chuleh eikai touvin, kihot pum pumin keima jong kakhup tenin ka pansan, ka bung’e.
Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.
11 Chuin mipa chun ka jah’a aseijin, “Daniel nangma Pathen dingin manlutah nahi. Hijeh chun, nahenga kasei ding hohi chingthei tahin ngaijin. Chuleh dingdohin, keima hi nang kom’a eihung kisol ahi,” ati.
He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had said this to me, I stood up trembling.
12 Chuin aman kajah’a, kicha hih in Daniel. Nangma na Pathen ang sung’a na kineo sah’a, thil hetkhen themna nathum nikho amasapen’a pat’a chu na taona jouse van’a na kingai peh ahitai. Hijeh’a chu keima nahenga hung’a kahi.
“Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
13 Amavang nisom ni leh nikhat sung chu, Persia leng chapa lhagao gilou chun ka lampia eitingin ahi. Hijeh chun vantil pipu Michael vantil chu eipanhu dingin ahungin, chuleh keiman Michael vantil chu leng chapa lhagao chutoh kidou dingin ka dalha tai.
However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
14 Tua hilaija kahung hi, khonunga namite chunga ipi thil hungsoh ding ham, ti seipeh’a hung kahi. Ajeh chu themgao thilmua namu chengse hi, khonung thil hungsoh ding ngen ahibouve ati.
Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”
15 Aman hitia aseipet chun, keiman tol lang kaven kakunin, thucheng khat jong seidoh theilouvin ka um’e.
While he was speaking these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless.
16 Chuin mihem tobang khatin, kane teni ahung thamin ahileh, keiman kakam kahinkah tan, chuleh kahung paodoh tai. Hichun kenjong ka masang’a dingpa jah’a chun, “Vo kapu, themgao thilmua mu kaneijeh in, ka pumin kanatlo tan, chuleh kalel lheh jeng tai.”
And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have no strength.
17 Kapu, na sohpa keima hitobang bep hi, iti nangtoh ka kihoulim jou ding ham? Ka tha jouse abeitan chuleh kahaina hu jong amangpai ding ahi tai,” kati.
How can I, your servant, speak with you, my lord? Now I have no strength, nor is any breath left in me.”
18 Chuphat in mihem tobang’a melpupa chun, eihin tham kitin ahileh, ka hung hatdoh kit tai.
Again the one with the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.
19 Aman aseijin, “Kicha hihin, ajehchu nangma hi Pathen dinga manlutah nahi. Lungmongin, kitilkhouvin chuleh hattahin pangin,” eiti. Aman hitia asei kajah phatin, apettah chun, ka tha ahung hatdoh tan, amapa jah’a chun, “Kapu, nei lungsetin, thu chu nei seipeh tan, ajeh chu, nangman neihat doh sahkit ahitai,” kati.
“Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious,” he said. “Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!” As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”
20 Chuin aman eidonbut in, “Ipi bol’a naheng’a hung kahi nahet em? Tua hi, ka kile kit’a, Persia leng chapa lhagao gilou chutoh kisat ding kahi. Chujou tengleh, vetan, Greek leng chapa chu hung ding ahitai.
“Do you know why I have come to you?” he said. “I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
21 Chuleh keiman thutah lekhabu a kijih chu, nangma kaseipeh ding ahi. Vetan, hiche lhagao gilou ho toh kakidouna-a hin, nangding’a leng chapa Michael vantil tilou, koima eipanhu ding aum poi.”
But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince.
