< Daniel 10 >
1 Persia siangpahrang, Sairas a bawinae a kum thum nah Belteshazzar telah phung e Daniel koe lawk pâpho buet touh a tho. Hote lawk teh ahman, taran tuknae kalenpoung hoi kâkuen e lah ao. Hote lawk thaipanueknae teh vision lahoi ahni koe a tho.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.
2 Hatnae tueng navah, kai Daniel teh yat thum touh rawca hai laihoi ka o.
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks.
3 Yat thum touh aloum hoehroukrak, bu ka cat hoeh, moi ka cat hoeh, misur hai ka patek hoeh, satui hai khoeroe kâhluk hoeh.
I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.
4 Apasueke thapa 24 hnin vah palangpui Hiddekel teng ka o lahunnah,
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris,
5 ka radoung boteh, loukloukkaang e khohna ka khohnat niteh, Uphaz suitaisom kâyeng e tami buet touh ka hmu.
I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.
6 Atak teh topaz talung hoi a kâvan. A minhmai hai sumpapalik e patetlah ao. A mit hai hmaiim patetlah ao. A kutkhoknaw teh, loukloukkaang e rahum e rong hoi a kâvan. A lawk teh tami moikapap lawk hoi a kâvan.
His body was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.
7 Hote vision hah kai Daniel ni duengdoeh ka hmu. Kai hoi reirei kaawm e naw niteh, hmawt awh hoeh. Ahnimouh niteh, puenghoi a taki awh teh, a pâyaw awh dawkvah, kâhro hanlah a yawng awh.
Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them, and they ran and hid themselves.
8 Kai teh, kamadueng sut ka o teh, hote ka lentoe e vision ka hmu navah, ka minhmai a mathoe teh, tha khoeroe ka tawn hoeh, pouk ka kâsawp.
So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.
9 Hatnavah, lawk hah ka thai. A lawk hah ka thai pouh teh, lawk a dei lahun navah, minhmai hoi talai rekkâbet lah ka tabo teh mat ka i.
I heard the sound of his words, and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.
10 Hatnavah kutvang ni na tek, khokpakhu hoi kuttabei hoi ka kâva.
Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.
11 Ahni ni, pahren hanlah kaawm poung e Daniel, ka lawk na thai panuek nahanlah kangdout haw. Nang koe kai heh patoun lah ao teh, atu ka tho toe atipouh navah, kai teh nouknouk pâyaw laihoi ka kangdue.
He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had said this to me, I stood up trembling.
12 Hatnavah, ahni ni Oe Daniel, taket hanh. Thaipanuek nahane hoi, Cathut hmalah kârahnoum hanelah na kâhmoun hnin hoiyah kamtawng teh, nange lawk hah ka thai toe. Hote na lawk dawk kai ka tho e doeh.
“Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
13 Persia uknaeram kaukkung ni hnin 21 touh thung kai hah na ngang. Hahoi, kahrawikung kacuenaw thung dawk buet touh lah kaawm e Maikel hah kai na kabawp hanelah a tho. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Persia siangpahrangnaw koe kai kama dueng sut ka o.
However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
14 Atuteh, na miphunnaw koe hmalah ka tho hane kawinaw hah na panue nahanelah, kai ka tho toe. Hete vision teh ato hmalae tueng hoi kâkuen e doeh telah a ti.
Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”
15 Hottelah a dei hnukkhu ka lû ka saling teh lawkdei thai laipalah ka o.
While he was speaking these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless.
16 Hatnavah, tami capa hoi kâvan e buet touh ni ka pahni hah a tek teh, ka pahni ka ang teh, ka hmalah kangdout e koe, ka Bawipa vision kecu dawk puenghoi ka khang toung dawkvah, ka tak dawk tha ka tawn hoeh toe.
And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have no strength.
17 Na san ni a Bawipa hoi bangtelavai lawk a dei thai. Atu patenghai kai dawk tha khoeroe awm hoeh. Kâha meimei a phout toe ka ti pouh.
How can I, your servant, speak with you, my lord? Now I have no strength, nor is any breath left in me.”
18 Hat toteh, tami hoi kâvan e ni bout na tek teh, tha na poe.
Again the one with the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.
19 Pahren ka tho poung e tami, taket hanh. Roumnae nang koe awmseh. Na tha awm sak. Thaonae hoi kawi haw na ti pouh. Hottelah a dei lahunnah ka tha ao teh, ka Bawipa dei haw, nang ni tha na o sak toe ka ti pouh.
“Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious,” he said. “Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!” As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”
20 Ahni ni, nang koe kai kathonae hah na panue ou. Persia ram kaukkung taran tuk hanelah bout ka ban han. Kai ka ban hnukkhu Grik ram kaukkung bout a tâco han.
“Do you know why I have come to you?” he said. “I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
21 Hatei, Cakathoung dawk mitnout tâ e teh na dei pouh han rah. Hete kong dawk nang kahrawikung Maikel hloilah apihai kai koelah kangdoutkhai e awm hoeh.
But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince.
