< 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 Koresh king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true: a great war. And he understood the word, and had understanding of the 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 whole 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 had no pleasing food, neither meat nor wine came into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 Apasueke thapa 24 hnin vah palangpui Hiddekel teng ka o lahunnah,
In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is 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 looked, and look, a man clothed in linen, around his waist a belt made of pure gold from Uphaz.
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, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words 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.
I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great trembling fell on them, and they fled to hide 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, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my natural appearance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
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.
Yet I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 Hatnavah kutvang ni na tek, khokpakhu hoi kuttabei hoi ka kâva.
Look, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
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, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood 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.
Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your words.
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.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was 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 make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision refers to future days."
15 Hottelah a dei hnukkhu ka lû ka saling teh lawkdei thai laipalah ka o.
And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground, and could not speak.
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 look, something like a man's hand touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, "My lord, it is because of the vision anguish has come upon me, 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.
For how can this servant of my lord talk with my lord? As for me, no strength remains, and I am breathless."
18 Hat toteh, tami hoi kâvan e ni bout na tek teh, tha na poe.
Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again 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.
And he said, "Greatly loved man, do not be afraid, peace be to you; be strong, be strong." When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, 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.
Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, look, the prince of Greece shall 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 I will tell you that which is inscribed in the Book of Truth. And there is no one who contends with me against them except Michael, your prince."
