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 Ahasuerus, of the race of the Medes, who became king over the realm of the Chaldaeans,
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.
in the first year of his reign, I Daniel attentively considered in the Books the number of the years, concerning which the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, that Jerusalem should remain in ruins till they were accomplished, namely, seventy years.
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 toward God, the Lord, and made prayers and supplications, 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 Jehovah, my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and terrible God, who keepeth the covenant and mercy to them that love him and keep his 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, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and thy statutes.
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.’’
Neither have we hearkened to thy servants, the prophets, who spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and 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, belongeth righteousness, but to us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, to those that are near and to those that are far off through all the countries whither thou hast driven them because of their trespass which they have trespassed 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 kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
9 Amavang, keiho ama douna-a ka chonset lheh vangun, Pakai ka Pathen'u chu mi hepina leh ngaidamna dimset ahi jing’e.
Yet with the Lord our God is mercy and forgiveness. For we have rebelled against him,
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 have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, 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.
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, and turned away, so as not to obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, 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 fulfilled his word which he spake against us, and against our judges who judged us, by bringing great calamity upon us; for under the whole heaven hath it not been done as hath been done to 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 came upon us. For we made not our prayer to Jehovah our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and give heed to 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.
Therefore hath Jehovah our God kept his mind upon the evil, and brought it upon us; for Jehovah our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth; for we obeyed not 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, that broughtest thy people forth from the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and madest thee a name such as it is at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
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, according to all thy goodness, let thine anger and thy fury, I beseech thee, be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain! for because of our iniquities, and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are 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 prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's 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.
O my God, incline thine ear, and hear! open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name! for we do not present our supplications before thee on account of our righteousness, but on account of thy great mercy.
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, forgive! O Lord, hearken and do! Defer not, for thine own sake, O my God! For thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
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.
And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah 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.
yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the former vision, came, weary with running, and reached me about the time of the evening oblation.
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 talked with me, and said: Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee understanding.
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.
At the beginning of thy supplication a word went forth, and I am come to show it thee; for thou art greatly beloved; therefore give heed to the word, and consider 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 appointed for thy people, and for thy holy city, to complete the iniquity, and to fill up the measure of the sins, and to expiate the guilt, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint a holy of holies.
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, therefore, and understand! From the going forth of the word that Jerusalem should be restored and built till an anointed one, a prince, are seven weeks; and during sixty-two weeks it shall be restored and built with streets and moats, yet in troublous 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 the sixty-two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and there shall not be to him [[a successor]]; and the city and the sanctuary shall be destroyed by the people of a prince that shall come, whose end will be as in a flood; and to the end shall be war, decreed desolations.
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 will establish a covenant with many for one week, and during half a week he will cause sacrifice and oblation to cease, and upon the wing of abominations shall come the destroyer, until decreed destruction be poured out on the destroyer.
