Daniel 8
1 Belshezzar lengpa, lengvaipoh kal kumthum lhin kum in, themgao thilmua mu kana nei masat jou chun, Daniel keiman avel in gaovin mu kanei kit’e.
In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 Hiche kathilmuna-a chun, Elam gamkai sung’a khopi lentah Susa kulpi sung’a, Keima kana um e, chuleh Ulai vadung pam’a keima kana ding’e.
I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
3 Hichun ka khodah in kavet leh, vadung pang’a chun kelngoichal khat adin kamui. Aki ni aneiyin, akiteni chu asao cheh in ahi. Aki khat chu khat joh sang’a hung dondoh nukhah ahivang in akhang khang in asaojoi.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 Kelngoichal chun alampi’a umtapou chu adel khumin, lhumlam’a um, sahlam’a um, chuleh lhanglam’a umho, abonin anomang in, ama masang’a koima chu apangjou aumpoi. Chuleh ama thahatna-a kon’a mi ga huhdoh ding jong aum pon, aman adei dei abolin chuleh ama leh ama loupitah in aki choisang tai.
I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
5 Hitia kavet pet chun, lhumlam’a konin kelchal khat ahung doh in, tol tongkha louvin, mangang tah in gam leiset chung ahin jot galkaiyin ahi. Hiche kelchal hin amit teni kah’a ki lentah khat seh aneiye.
As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 Hiche kelchal hin, vadung pam’a adin kanamui kelngoi chal, ki ni nei chu, ahin jonin lunghang tah in, athanei su in adel khum jeng in ahi.
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.
7 Kelchal chun lunghang tah a kelngoi chal chu akitapi jeng in ahileh, kelngoichal ki teni chu atatbong tai. Kelngoichal chu kelchal masang’a apangjou tapoi. Kelchal chun kelngoichal chu tol suhnan aneiyin, chuleh akengin achil tan ahi. Kelchal thahatna-a kon chun kelngoichal chu koimacha ahuh doh ding aum tapoi.
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Kelchal chu ahung thahat lheh jeng tai. Ahivang in, hitia ahatpet tah chun, aki lentah khatseh anei chu abongtan ahi. Hiche ki lentah umna mun’a chun, ki loupitah li ahung dondoh kit in, hiche ho chun leiset ningli lam anga cheh’un, akhang khang tauve.
The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.
9 Chuin ki li ho lah’a, ki khat pen’a kon chun, ki neokhat ahung dondoh kit in, hiche ki chu athahat lheh jeng in, athaneina chu lhanglam ngan, solam ngan chuleh Israel gam loupi ngan, akhang khang in anasa lheh jeng tai.
Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
10 Chuin athahat cheh chehin, van geijin athahatna chu akhangdoh tai. Hiche saki chun van thuneina geijin adoutan, van’a um ahsi phabep jong ahinpih lhan, akengin tol’ah achilgoiyin ahi.
It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.
11 Chuin kiloupi sahtah in, van sepai lamkai pipu jong chu adoutan, niseh’a maicham thilto tang louva hung kitohho jong akilah in, chuleh maicham muntheng hojong abonin asumang tan ahi.
Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 Hiche doubolpa chung’a lethuhlou na dingin, van sepai hochu akikang seuvin ahi. Hiche jeh chun, niseh’a maicham’a thil hung kitoh ho jouse atang tan, ama khut’a akipedoh tai. Hitichun saki chu ahatlheh jeng in, chuleh amachal lheh jeng in, thutah jeng jong tol’ah chotphan aum tai.
The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
13 Chuin keiman mitheng mini kihouna chu kajan, mitheng khatpa chunk hat johpa heng’a chun aseijin, Themgao thilmua kimu hohi itih chan geija hitia um ding ham? Hiche doubol pan, niseh’a maicham thilto kitohho hi asuhtang’a, itih chan geija ahomkeova akoi ding ham? Chuleh itihchan geija chu, muntheng leh van sepai ho chu kengto chotpha-a um ding hiuvem? tin adong’e.
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”
14 Hichun khatpan adonbut in,’’Nilhah leh jingkah sangnile jathum sunghi hitia um ding ahin, chujou tengleh muntheng chu aumna ding dol’a avel’a kisempha kit ding ahi,’’ atipeh e.
He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
15 Daniel keiman, hiche themgao thilmua mu kanei chu, ipi kiseina ham ahi kahetchen nomlheh in, kagel gelin; Hichepet chun, mihem lim tobang mikhat kamasanga ahung ding in,
When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.
16 Chuin keiman, Ulai vadunga kon’a hung kikou mihem awgin khat kajan, hichun, “Gabriel, hiche mipa hi, themgao thilmua kivetsah chengse hi, ipi kiseina ham seipeh in” ati.
I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
17 Chuin Gabriel chun, kadinna mun ahin naijin ahileh katija behseh jengin, kamai tol’a sulutin ka bohkhup tai. Hichun aman kajah’a, “Vo mihem chapa, hiche themgao thilmua namuho chengse hi, phat kichai nading thudol ahi, hethemin, geltohin,” ati.
So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me and set me upright.
19 Chuin aman kajah’a, Lunghanna phat nunung lamleh, ipi hungsoh ding ham, ti naheng’a seipeh ding’a, keima hikom’a um kahi. Nangman na thilmu chengse hi, phat kichai ding chu ahilchen ahi.
He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 Nangman namu ki ni neija kelngoichal chu, Media lengpa leh Pesia lengpa ahi lhon’e.
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Chuleh kelchal chu Greek lengpa vetsahna ahin, amit teni kah’a ki lentah khat chu, Greek leng masapen chu ahi tai.
The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Akilentah aboh jouva, aumna mun’a, ki adang litah ahung dondoh jeng bang’a chu, Greek lenggam chu kehli kisoa, lenggam li tah umdoh ding ahi. Hijong leh, lenggam masapen bang’a loupi umlou ding ahiuve.
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
23 Amaho lengvaipoh phat kichai konleh, achonsetnau asanval behseh jeh chun, alah uva kon’in, duha themtah leh ginneilou leng khat hung lendoh ding ahi.
“In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.
His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
25 Duha thuh leh lheplhah them bulpi ahitoh lhon’a, gilou tah’a hung lendoh ding, chuleh mi tamtah gihsalna beiya asuhmang ding ahi. Aman leng chapate leh milen milalte geija gal abolkhum ding, amavang, akhonna leh mihem khut thahat pang louva amahi kisuchip ding ahi.
Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.
26 Hichea themgao thilmua namu nilhah leh jingkah sangni leh jathum hilchenna thuhi, adihtah mong mong ahi. Amavang, hiche gaothuhi, nikho sotpi nung’a hungsoh ding ahijeh'in, Mohor namkhum inlang, thuguh in koi tan.
“The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”
27 Chuin Daniel keima tah hi, katija behseh jengin, nikho tampi kadammo lotan ahi. Chujouvin, ka thouvin lengpa kin lhacha natong din in k che tai. Ahivangin, ka thilmu ho chengse chu ka hethem theihih beh jengin chuleh ka lung ahesoh sahlheh jengin ahi.
I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
