Daniel 12
1 Chuche nikho leh, namite veng jing’a pang, vantil pipu Michael chu hung kipandoh ding, chutah leh, gim gentheina nasatah phat hung lhung ding ahi. Hitobang phat hahsa chu, mihem khang hung umdoh apat, hiche nikho geiya chu soh khalou hellai ahi. Ahivangin, hiche phat hileh, na mite koi hileh, lekhabua amin kisun chengse vang chu kihuhdoh tei ding ahiuve.
[The angel also said to me, ] “After those things happen, the great angel Michael, who protects the [Israeli] people, will appear. Then there will be a time when there will be great troubles/suffering. The troubles will be greater than any troubles/suffering since the nations began. At that time, all of your people whose names have been written in the book [containing the names of those who have eternal life] will be saved.
2 Chuteng leh mikhem tamtah athia kivuisa ho hungthoudoh’untin, mi phabep chu tonsot kemlouva kipana chang’untin, chuleh abang vang chu tonsot’a kijumsona damun chang’a hung thou ding ahiuve.
Many of those who have died [EUP] will become alive again. Some of them will live eternally [with God], and some will be eternally shamed/disgraced [in hell]. (questioned)
3 Hichea hin, koi hileh, michingho vang chu, vanthamjol vah banga vah diu chuleh mihem tamtah chondihna lampia heilut hojong chu, van’a ahsite bang’a atonsot’a vah jing ding ahiuve.
Those who were wise will shine as brightly as the sky [is bright when the sun is shining]. And those who have shown to others the way to live righteously will shine forever, like the stars [SIM].
4 Amavang Daniel nangin, hiche gaothu hi imchah inlang, chuleh hiche lekhabu hi khumtup in, phat nunung hunglhun kahin, Mohor namkhum inlang chuleh aguhin koitan. Hiche tah chuleh, mihem chihna leh hetna hungkhang ding, mihemten khonung khoma ding thu holna-a, adung avaija lhaile diu ahi.
But as for you, Daniel, close up the scroll [on which you are writing], and seal it [in order that no one can open it] until the end [of the world] is near. [Before that happens, ] many people will travel rapidly here and there, learning more and more [about many things].”
5 Chuin, Daniel keiman kaven ahileh, michom mini tah vadung pang langkhat cheh’a, adinlhon kamun ahi.
When [that angel finished speaking], I, Daniel, looked up, and suddenly I saw two other [angels]. One was standing on the side of the river [where I was], and one was standing on the other side.
6 Amani lah’a miklhat chun, tupat ponnem kisil’a vadung twi chunga ana ding jingpa jah’a chun adong in, Hicheng thil kidang ho kichai nading chu, phat itih chan lut ding ham? ati.
One of them [called to] the other one, who was wearing linen/white clothes, who was now standing further up (OR, above) the river, “How long will it be until these amazing/frightening events end?”
7 Hichun tupat ponnem kisil’a, vadung twi chunga ana ding jingpa chun, akhut tenin vanlam asangin, chuleh tonsot’a hing jing Pathen min’in, kihahselna aneiyin, aseiye. “Hiche hi kumkhat, kumni chuleh kumkeh khat, hungche nalai ding, chuleh mithengte ahung kithe cheh soh’a, achaina phat ahung lhin teng leh, thil hichengse hi guilhung soh ding ahi,’’ ati.
The angel who was on the other side of (OR, above) the river raised his hands toward the sky, and solemnly promised, with the authority [MTY] of God, who lives forever, “It will be three and a half years. All these things will end after God’s people stop fighting against those who (persecute/cause trouble for/cause suffering for) them.”
8 Keiman amapa thusei chu kajan, ahivangin ipi aseina ham, kahepoi. Hijeh chun, ken jong amapa chu ka dong in, “Kapu thil hicheng jouse hi, achaina ipi hung soh ding ham?” kati.
I heard [what he said], but I did not understand it. So I asked, “Sir, what will be the result when these things end?”
9 Chuin aman kajah’a, Chetan Daniel, keiman nakom’a kaseisa bang chun, phat kichaina hunglhun kah’a dingin, khumkhana Mohor kinam khumsa chu, thuguhin koi tan.
He replied, “Daniel, you must leave now. [I cannot answer your question] because what it means must (be kept secret/not be revealed) [DOU] until the time when everything ends.
10 Mi tamtah hiche patepna thohgimna-a kon’a, kisuthenguva, kisopthengdiu chuleh kithenso ding ahiuve. Amavang, migilouten assetnau boljom jing untin, imacha ahetkhen theilouhel diu ahi. Miching hon vang, ipi kisei ham ti, ahin hetdoh diu ahi.
Many people will thoroughly purify their inner beings [DOU]. But wicked people will not understand these things. They will continue to be wicked. Only those who are wise will understand [these things].
11 Hitia chu, tanglouva ana kibol jing kilhaina pumgo thilto akisuhtang nia pat chuleh muntheng akisuh boh’a thet umtah misugam houna akitun doh niapat, nikho sangkhat leh jani toh somko lhing ding ahi.
[But I can tell you that before everything ends, ] there will be 1,290 days, from the time that people are prevented from offering sacrifices each day, that is, from the time that the abominable/disgusting thing is put in the temple.
12 Chuleh koi hijong leh, akhonna geija nikho sangkhat leh jathum toh somthum leh nga chan ngahdoh’a umho chu, anun nom ahiuve.
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 Tun, nangma phat kichaina hunglhun kah’a din che tan, kichol inlang achaina nikho ahunglhun phatleh, nangma nakipatdoh kit’a, nang ding’a gotsa nadinmun ding chu nalo ding ahi,’’ati.
So [now I say] to you, continue to faithfully [trust God] until [your life on earth] ends. You will die [EUP], but when everything ends, you will receive your reward [from God].”
