Daniel 7
1 Babylon lengpa Belshazzar lengvaipoh kal, kum masapen chun, Daniel ajalkhun’a aluppet in, amang in themgao thilmu khat aneiye. Aman amang’a athilmu ho chu asundoh in, athudol chu hiti ahi.
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel has seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then he has written the dream, the chief of the things he has said.
2 Daniel keiman jan kamang chun, twikhanglen’a khopi hui nasatah in twipi ahinpeija chuleh aninglia kon’a hui hattah in ahin semling soh chu kamui.
Daniel has answered and said, “I was seeing in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth to the Great Sea;
3 Chuin twikhanglen twi lah’a kon chun, sahem li ahung potdoh'in, amaho chu akilou beihel, achom cheh ahiuve.
and four great beasts are coming up from the sea, diverse from one another.
4 Sahem masapen chu, muvanlai lhaving nei sakei bahkai tobang ahi. Keiman kavet vet leh, alhaving teni chu apullhan, chuin sahem chu mihem bang in, anung kengin apansan ading’e. Chuleh hiche sahem chu mihem lungthim kipe ahi.
The first [is] like a lion, and it has an eagle’s wings. I was seeing until its wings have been plucked, and it has been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it has been caused to stand, and a heart of man is given to it.
5 Chuin sahem nina chu kamun, vompi tobang ahi. Hiche sahem chu apang khatseh in apansan. Chuleh akamsung’a aha chung leh noi kah’a chun nahgu thum amom’e. Chuleh keiman, hiche sahem jah’a kiseipeh aw khat kajan, “kipat doh in mihem ho sa najo chan gane tan” ati.
And behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the same authority it has been raised, and three ribs [are] in its mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise, consume much flesh.
6 Chujou chun sahem thumna kidangtah khat ahung potdoh kamun, lutnu toh akilouve. Hiche sahem chun atungtun’a vacha lhaving li aneiyin, chuleh aluchang jong li aneiye. Chuleh thuneina lentah lengvaipohna chu hiche sahem hi kipe ahi.
After this I was seeing, and behold, another like a leopard, and it has four wings of a bird on its back, and the beast has four heads, and dominion is given to it.
7 Hichejou ajan chun, themgao thilmun mang kanei kit in, sahem lina chu kamui. Hichu kichat umtah leh tijat umtah ahin, ahat’a hat ahi. Hiche sahem hin ahatmo ho sa chu alhai ngimset sot in, ane jin ahi. Aha ho jong thih ngen ahin chuleh alen theije. Chuleh anehmoh ho chengse chu akengphang in tol’ah achilgoijin ahi. Hiche sahem hi, sahem dang kamu masah hotoh kibanglou hel ahin, aki jong som aneiye.
After this I was seeing in the visions of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it has very great iron teeth, it has consumed, indeed, it breaks small, and it has trampled the remnant with its feet; and it [is] diverse from all the beasts that [are] before it; and it has ten horns.
8 Aki hochu kavet vet leh, alah’uva chun a ki neocha achombeh khat ahung dondoh in ahi. Hiche aki neocha mun ong-ot nan, ana um masa aki thum hochu ajung pum in apullha tauve. Aki neocha chun mit aneiyin mihem mit tobang ahin, chuleh akam jong chu ham hoithona dim ahi.
I was considering about the horns, and behold, another horn, a little one, has come up between them, and three of the first horns have been eradicated from before it, and behold, eyes as the eyes of man [are] in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 Hitia kavet petchun, laltouna ho ahung kidotoh in, chuin gollui khangmasa-apat-umsa kitipa chu thutan vaihom dingin laltouna chu alotai. Aponsil chu buhbang tobang'in abangleh in, chuleh alujang sam jong chu samul theng jolsel tobang ahi. Ama chu mei-am pahlah tobang laltouna chung’a atouvin, chuleh alaltouna kitunna velkol ho chu meikou leng tobang ahiuve.
I was seeing until thrones have been thrown down, and the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment [is] white as snow, and the hair of His head [is] as pure wool, His throne flames of fire, its wheels burning fire.
10 Vadung twilong bangin meikong chu ahung longdoh jengin, hichu ama umna'a-angsung’a kon’a hung longdoh ahi. A sangsom asangja vantil ho chu ama kinbol ding in a-ang sung’a chun angah uve. Chuin lekhabu chu aphong un, chuleh thutanna jong chu akipan tai.
A flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before Him, one million serve Him and one hundred million rise up before Him, judgment has been set, and the scrolls have been opened.
11 Chuin aki neocha chun kiletsah tah’a thu asei gin chu kajan, hijeh chun keiman kave den tan ahi. Hitia kavet petchun, sahem li’na chu athatdoh’un chuleh atahsa chu meilhum sung’a agouvam un, a sumang tauve.
I was seeing, then, because of the voice of the great words that the horn is speaking, I was seeing until the beast is slain, and his body has been destroyed, and given to the burning fire;
12 Chuleh sahem dang thum hojong chu, amaho’a kon in athuneina’u akilahmangpeh tauve. Ahivang in amaho chu phat chomkhat ahinkho’u umbe nalai dingin akikoi tai.
and the rest of the beasts have caused their dominion to pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, until a season and a time.
13 Chuche jan kamang chun themgao thilmu bangin kamu kit in, vanlaijol’a meilhang lom toh mihem chapa tobang khat ahung kamui. Aman gollui khang masa-a pat hung umpeh pachu anailut in, a-angsung’ah apuilut tai.
I was seeing in the visions of the night, and behold, [One] like a Son of Man was coming with the clouds of the heavens, and to the Ancient of Days He has come, and before Him they have brought Him near.
14 Ama chu vannoi pumpia namtin vaipi chunga thuneina leh jabolna chuleh lengvaihomna chu kipe ahitai. Ajeh chu chitin namtin’ah mijouse leh paotintang in, ama thu chu angai ding ahi. Ama lengvaipoh chuh atonsot’a umjing ding, chuleh beitih neilouva kisumang talou ding ahitai.
And to Him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages serve Him, His dominion [is] a continuous dominion, that does not pass away, and His kingdom that which is not destroyed.
15 Keima, Daniel Kitipa hi, kamang a kathilmu hochun kalung asuboi alheh in, chuleh gaova kathilmu chengse chun eisukicha jeng in ahi.
My spirit has been pierced—I, Daniel—in the midst of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble me;
16 Hijeh chun, keiman laltouna kimvel’a ding jingho lah’a mikhat chu ka nailut in, ajah’a thilsoh hicheng hi ipi kisei na hitam, tin kadong’e. Aman hiche ho hilchetna chu hitin ei seipeh tai.
I have drawn near to one of those standing, and the certainty I seek from him of all this; and he has spoken to me, indeed, the interpretation of the things he has caused me to know:
17 Hiche sahem li hohi, khonung’a leiset chung’a hung leng chang ding leng li ho vetsahna ahiuve.
These great beasts, that [are] four, [are] four kings, they rise up from the earth;
18 Amavang ninunung nileh, Chungnungpen Pathen mithengte khut’a, alenggam’u chu kipedoh’a, amahon atonsot’a lengvai apoh ding’u ahi tai.
and the saints of the Most High receive the kingdom, and they strengthen the kingdom for all time, even for all time and all ages.
19 Chuin sahem lina, adang toh kibang louhel, kichat tijat umpen chu, avetsahna dihtah ipi ham, ti kahetnom lheh jenge. Hiche sahem chu aha jouse thih ahin, chuleh atin ho sum-eng jeng ahiuve. Hichun, ahatmo ho sa abottel tel in, sahing chu anen, chuleh amoh chengse chu tol’a akengphang in achil goijin ahi.
Then I wished for certainty concerning the fourth beast, that was diverse from them all, exceedingly fearful; its teeth of iron, and its nails of bronze, it has devoured, it breaks small, and it has trampled the remnant with its feet;
20 Keiman kadong kit in, sahem lina luchang’a aki som jen aumdoh jouva neocha achombeh khat ahung dondoh kit a, aummasa aki thumho asuhmang jeng hi, ipi kiseina ham, kati. Hichea aki neocha hi aki dangho sangin loupijo in aume. Chuleh hiche hin, mihem mit tobang mitni aneiyin chuleh akam jong ham hoitho adim e.
and concerning the ten horns that [are] in its heads, and of the other that came up, and before which three have fallen, even of that horn that has eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose appearance [is] great above its companions.
21 Hitia kavet vet leh, hiche aki neocha chun, Pathen mithengte chung’a gal ahinsat in, chuleh amaho chu abon’un gal in ajousoh in.
I was seeing, and this horn is making war with the saints, and has prevailed over them,
22 Chungnungpen Pathen, gollui khangmasa peh’a umjing chu, ahung’a ama mithengte ding’a thutanna ahungbol kahsen, gal ajoutapouve. Chuin, mithengten hiche lenggam chu akisan’uva chuleh alonadiu phat chu ahung lhung tai.
until the Ancient of Days has come, and judgment is given to the saints of the Most High, and the time has come, and the saints have strengthened the kingdom.
23 Chuin aman kajah’a asei chu, Hiche sahem lina hi, leiset chunga lengvai hinpo ding lenggam lina hung umding chu avetsah ahi. Hichu lenggam adangho toh kibang louhel, achombeh hiding ahi. Hiche lenggam chun, leiset pumpi avallhum’a lengvai apoh ding, ijakai chu akengto’a achotpha’a chuleh achilgoi ding ahi.
Thus he said: The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom in the earth, that is diverse from all kingdoms, and it consumes all the earth, and treads it down, and breaks it small.
24 Chuleh alu’a aki som jen um chu, vaipo ding leng som ho ahiuve. Chuin amaho lah’a chun, lengdang khat hung intin, ama chu anaum masa leng hotoh kibang louhel ding ahi. Chuleh anaumsa lenggam thum hochu, aman asuhnem ding ahi atipeh e.
And the ten horns out of the kingdom [are] ten kings, they rise, and another rises after them, and it is diverse from the former, and it humbles three kings;
25 Hiche lengpa hin, Chungnungpen Pathen chu adou ding chuleh amithengte jong abolgim ding ahi. Aman Pathen mithengte chonna dan holeh golnop ho khel ding angaito ding, chuleh amithengte jouse athunoija kumkhat, kumni chuleh kumkeh khat aumsah ding’a kipedoh ding ahi, atipeh e.
and it speaks words as an adversary of the Most High, and it wears out the saints of the Most High, and it hopes to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand, until a time, and times, and a division of a time.
26 Amavang chutahleh, thutanna inpia thutanpa hung pansa-a, thu adih’a ahin tanding, chuleh lengpa thuneina chengse kilah peh’a chuleh kisumang hel ding ahi.
And judgment is set, and they cause his dominion to pass away, to perish, and to be destroyed—to the end;
27 Chuteng vannoi lenggam ho lengvaipohna, thaneina chuleh loupina jouse Chungnungpen Pathen mithengte kipedoh ding ahiuve. Mithengte lenggam chu atonsot’a umjing ding chuleh amaho chu Pathen lhacha-a pang’uva chuleh athua nungdiu ahi, ati.
and the kingdom, and the dominion, even the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people—the saints of the Most High, His kingdom [is] a continuous kingdom, and all dominions serve and obey Him.
28 Hicheng chu themgao thilmu ho kichaina ahitai. Chuleh Daniel keima vang kalung agim lheh jengin, chuleh kichat leh tijatnan kamel akikhello leuvin ahi. Ahivang in, hiche ho chu seidoh louvin, kalunggil’a kaching jing in, kakoiye,’’ ati.
Here [is] the end of the matter. I, Daniel, [am] greatly troubled [by] my thoughts, and my countenance is changed on me, and I have kept the matter in my heart.”
