< Daniel 9 >

1 Babylon mite chunga lenga hungpang, Ahasuerus chapa, Mede mi Darius lengvaipoh kal kumkhat lhin kum chu ahi.
In the first year of Darius the son of Assuerus of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans:
2 Ama lengvaipoh kal kum masapen chun, Daniel keiman, Pathen thu kasim’a konin, Jeremiah themgao heng’a Pathenin ana phondohsa bangin, Jerusalem ahom’a akijam khu, kum som sagi sung kichaitei tei ding ahi, ti kahin hedoh tai.
The first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, that seventy years should be accomplished of the desolation of Jerusalem.
3 Hijeh chun keiman Pakai Pathen henglam kangan, taona leh thumna toh thon an kangolin chuleh khaodip pon kasilin, vut kakinu khum in ahi.
And I set my face to the Lord my God, to pray and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
4 Hichun Pakai ka Pathen heng’a ka chonset ka phong’in, keima hitin ka taove. “O Pakai, nangma loupitah leh gin umtah Pathen nahi! Nangman aphat jousen, nangailua chuleh nathupeh nitte chunga, nathutep na molsopehjin chuleh na lungset long louvin na koije.”
And I prayed to the Lord my God, and I made my confession, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord God, great and terrible, who keepest the covenant, and mercy to them that love thee, and keep thy commandments.
5 Ahivangin, keiho ka chonseuvin, adihlou jeng kaboluve. Keihon nang doumah mah kabolun chuleh na thupeh leh na chondan ho donlouvin kakoi uvin ahi.
We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly, and have revolted: and we have gone aside from thy commandments, and thy judgments.
6 Keihon nalhacha themgao ho thusei kajahdauvin, nangma thuneina leh namin pan’a ka lengteu leh kapu kappateu, chuleh gamsung mipite jouse henga, themgao ho kam’a naseidoh sah ho donlouvin kakoi tauve.’’
We have not hearkened to thy servants the prophets, that have spoken in thy name to our kings, to our princes, to our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 O Pakai! Dihna chu nanga um ahi. Keiho Judah mite leh Jerusalem’a chengho chuleh gamla leh naiya kithecheh Israel mite jouse dinga, hiche hohi dihsoh kei ahi. Nang douna jeng kabolun, chuleh kitahlou tah’a nang kahou jeh’un, kachennau gamtinah mai jumna katoh tauve.
To thee, O Lord, justice: but to us confusion of face, as at this day to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel to them that are near, and to them that are far off in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, for their iniquities by which they have sinned against thee.
8 O Pakai! keiho leh ka lengteu, leng chapate leh milen milal ho chuleh kapu kapateu dinga maijumna dim ahitai. Ajeh chu keiho nangma dounan ka chonse tauvin ahi.
O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our princes, and to our fathers that have sinned.
9 Amavang, keiho ama douna-a ka chonset lheh vangun, Pakai ka Pathen'u chu mi hepina leh ngaidamna dimset ahi jing’e.
But to thee, the Lord our God, mercy and forgiveness, for we have departed from thee:
10 Keihon, ama lhacha themgao ho kam’a ki seidoh danthu hi juilouvin kakoi jun, chuleh Pakai ka Pathen’u thusei kangai tapouve. Ahivangin, ama-ah hepi leh ngaidamna aum jing’e.
And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his law, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Israel pumpi hi, nadanthu juilou ahiuvin, nang’a kon’a kihei mangsoh ahitauve. Na thusei awgin jong angainom louvu ahitai. Hijeh’a chu, Pathen lhacha Mose danbua kisun banga, keiho Pathen douna-a ka chonset jeh’un ka chunguva gosapna leh thutanna chu akibunglha tai.
And all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have turned away from hearing thy voice, and the malediction, and the curse, which is written in the book of Moses the servant of God, is fallen upon us, because we have sinned against him.
12 Nangman naseisa na petchahin, chuleh naseidohsa bang bangin, keiho leh ka chunguva vaipote chung’a naboltai. Ajeh chu, hitobang’a hamsetna hi leiset pumpia umkha lou ahin, Jerusalem chung’a kibol ahi tai.
And he hath confirmed his words which he spoke against us, and against our princes that judged us, that he would bring in upon us a great evil, such as never was under all the heaven, according to that which hath been done in Jerusalem.
13 Mose danthu lekhabua kisun gaosapna hijat pihi, ka chunguva ahunglhung tan ahi. Ahivangin, keihon ka chonsetnau kadalha nompouve. Chuleh Pakai ka Pathen’u henga jong ahepina ka holdeh pouvin, Pakai dihna hepha louvin kaum tauve.
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: and we entreated not thy face, O Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and think on thy truth.
14 Hijeh chun Pakaiyin agonsa bangin, keiho chung’a hamsetna alhunsah tai. Amavang, ka Pathenuvin hitia abol jeng hi, adihtah chu abol ahi. Ajeh chu, ama thusei ho keihon kangaitapouve.
And the Lord hath watched upon the evil, and hath brought it upon us: the Lord our God is just in all his works which he hath done: for we have not hearkened to his voice.
15 O Pakai, ka Pathen’u, nangman Egypt gam’a kon’in namite keiho, na thahat loupitah chun neihin huhdohuvin chuleh namin jong loupitah leh gin umtah in n koi tai. Ahivang in, keiho gitlouna dimsetin ka chonse jo tauve.
And now, O Lord our God, who hast brought forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thee a name as at this day: we have sinned, we have committed iniquity,
16 O Pakai, nangman na kitahna leh na hepina jal chun, Jerusalem khopi leh nalhang theng chunga nalung hanna hi, lungset tahin heimang in. Ajeh chu kapu ka pateu chonset jeh leh keiho chonset jeh'in, kaveluva cheng namdang hon nuisat leh seichahin eikoi tauve.
O Lord, against all thy justice: let thy wrath and thy indignation be turned away, I beseech thee, from thy city Jerusalem, and from thy holy mountain. For by reason of our sins, and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem, and thy people are a reproach to all that are round about us.
17 O ka Pathen’u, nasohpa ka taona hi, nei ngaipeh inlang nei sanpeh tan! O Pakai, nang leh nang kigelkhohna jal’in, na dalhahsa muntheng hi, mailhaiselin namaivah chun hin salvah kit tan.
Now therefore, O our God, hear the supplication of thy servant, and his prayers: and shew thy face upon thy sanctuary which is desolate, for thy own sake.
18 O ka Pathen, hungkun inlang neihin ngaipeh in. Namit hin hasah inlang keiho gim hesohna hi hinven. Namin pua nakhopi jong hinvetan, mangthah in aum tai. Tun, ka taonau hi, keiho ka themnau leh nalung kato jeh’uva nei sanpeh diu hipon tin, na milungset na leh na mihepina jal’a bou na heng’a ka hung taovu ahijoi.
Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear: open thy eyes, and see our desolation, and the city upon which thy name is called: for it is not for our justifications that we present our prayers before thy face, but for the multitude of thy tender mercies.
19 O Pakai ngaijin, O Pakai ngaidam in! O Pakai gelkhoh inlang bol jengin. O ka Pathen, nang leh nang kigelkhoh inlang, khongai sot tahih in. Ajeh chu, namite leh nakhopi hi, nangma minpua kikou cheh ahiuve.
O Lord, hear: O Lord, be appeased: hearken and do: delay not for thy own sake, O my God: because thy name is invocated upon thy city, and upon thy people.
20 Keima katao jingin, keima chonset leh kamite chonset ka phongin, Jerusalem khopi leh ama lhangtheng’a dingin, Pakai ka Pathen heng’a thumna kaneiyin ahi.
Now while I was yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sins, and the sins of my people of Israel, and presenting my supplications in the sight of my God, for the holy mountain of my God:
21 Hitia katao jing petin, gaothilmua kamu masah Gabriel chu, kaheng’a ahung kilahin, hichu nilhah lang kilhaina thilto bolphat tah ahi.
As I was yet speaking in prayer, behold the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 Hichun, Gabriel chun keima heng’a asei tai. “Daniel na lungsung mitvah sah ding leh thil hetkhenna nape dinga nakom’a hung kahi.”
And he instructed me, and spoke to me, and said: O Daniel, I am now come forth to teach thee, and that thou mightest understand.
23 Nangma Pathen heng’a na hungtao kipat chun, thupeh khat ahung um doh tai. Hichu ipi ahi nahil dinga tua hi kahung ahi. Nangma Pathen dingin manlutah nahi. Hijeh chun, themgao thilmua namu chengse hi, ipi kiseina ham, na hetkhen themna dingin, phatechan ngaijin.
From the beginning of thy prayers the word came forth: and I am come to shew it to thee, because thou art a man of desires: therefore do thou mark the word, and understand the vision.
24 Namite leh nakhopi theng hi, thilsea kon lhadoh nading, achonset na’u suhbei nading, athemmona’u thoidam nading, chuleh muntheng chungnung’a thaonu kinbol nading, phat chu, hapta somsagi mun sagi, Pathenin atepsa ahi tai.
Seventy weeks are shortened upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, that transgression may be finished, and sin may have an end, and iniquity may be abolished; and everlasting justice may be brought; and vision and prophecy may be fulfilled; and the saint of saints may be anointed.
25 Hiche hi ngaijin lang kihettem in! Jerusalem semphat ding kiseidoh’a pat, Pathen thaonu khat vaihom ding hungdoh ding geihi, hapta sagi mun sagi toh hapta somgupleni mun sagi, lhing ding ahi. Chutah leh Jerusalem kisapha-a, kholai lamlen holeh kulpi pal dettah a kisempha ding. Hiche phatsung hi gim hesohna khang hi ding ahi.
Know thou therefore, and take notice: that from the going forth of the word, to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ the prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: and the street shall be built again, and the walls in straitness of times.
26 Hiche phatsung, hapta somgupleni mun sagi, kichaijou tengleh, Pathen thaonusa mipa chu, boldoh ima neilouva kipaidoh ding ahi. Chuleh mikhat hung lendoh’a vai ahom ding, chuleh amiten khopi leh muntheng asuhmang dingu ahi. Chuteng achaina chu twisoh bang’a hung um ding, chuleh gal hesoh gentheina chu, Pathen tepsa banga achaina geija um ding ahi.
And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him shall not be his. And a people with their leader that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation.
27 Chuleh vaihompa chun, hapta khatsung ding’a mi tamtah toh, kitepna abol ding, hiche hapta kehkhat jouleh, aman kilhaina thilto ho asuh hai ding ahi. Amapa khansetna chunga, achaina Pathen thutepsa chu twi sunna akisunlhah kahsea, aman thil thet umtah asem doh’a chuleh khopi sugam’a pang ding ahi.
And he shall confirm the covenant with many, in one week: and in the half of the week the victim and the sacrifice shall fall: and there shall be in the temple the abomination of desolation: and the desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end.
