Daniel 11

1 Medes siangpahrang, Darius a bawinae a kum pasuek navah, a uknaeram caksak hane hoi thao sak nahanelah ka kampangkhai.

And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

2 Atuteh, katang e ka dei han toe. Persia ram ka uk hane siangpahrang kathum touh a tâco han rah. Apalinae siangpahrang teh ahnimanaw hlak hoe a tawnta han. Hottelah a tawnta thai teh, a tha ao dawkvah, Grik ram tuk hanelah tamipueng a hroecoe han.

And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.

3 Hatnavah, athakaawme siangpahrang buet touh a tâco han. Ahni ni kâtawnnae hoi uk vaiteh, a ngai e patetlah a sak han.

And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

4 Ahni a tâco hnukkhu hoi a ram rawk vaiteh, pali touh lah a kârei awh han. Hatei, ka ukkungnaw teh a catounnaw nahoeh, kâtawnnae hoi a uknaeram thung e nahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a ram teh a kâbawng toung dawkvah, ayânaw poe lah ao han.

And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these.

5 Hat toteh, akalae siangpahrang teh a thao han. Hatei, a bawinae thung dawk buet touh teh ahni hlak a tha awm vaiteh, amae ram hah kalen e bahu hoi a uk han.

And the king of the south shall be strong, and [one] of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

6 Atueng a saw toteh, huiko a kâsak awh han. A kâpo awh nahanlah akalae siangpahrang canu teh atunglae siangpahrang koe kâtawnnae a poe han. Hatei, hote napui e kâtawnnae teh cak mahoeh. Hote siangpahrang hoi a catoun hai cak mahoeh. Siangpahrang canu hai, ahni ka thak e naw hai, ahnie canaw hai, hatnae tueng nah ahni kabawm e naw hai, thei hanlah ao han.

And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times.

7 Hote siangpahrang canu e miphun dawk e buet touh ni ahnie hmuen dawk a kangdue han. Ahni ni atunglae siangpahrang hah tuk vaiteh, khothung kâen vaiteh, khocanaw hah a tuk vaiteh a tâ han.

But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, who shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.

8 Ahnimae cathutnaw, hlun e meikaphawknaw, aphu kaawm e sui manang, ngunnaw hah Izip ram lah be aphu awh han. Atunglae siangpahrang hlak akalae siangpahrang teh a kum bet a saw han.

And also their gods, with their molten images, [and] with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north.

9 Atunglae siangpahrang hai akalae siangpahrang uknaeram thung a kâen han. Hatei, ama ram lah bout a ban han.

And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.

10 A capanaw ni bout thaw awh vaiteh, ransanaw moikapap kamkhueng sak vaiteh a tho awh han. Tâ awh vaiteh, ahnie kho thung totouh runae a poe awh han.

And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through; and they shall return and war, even to his fortress.

11 Akalae siangpahrang teh a lungkhuek dawkvah, atunglae siangpahrang hah a tuk han. Hatei, tami moikapap hah a taran kut dawk a poe han.

And the king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.

12 Tami moikapap a ceikhai awh toteh, kâoup vaiteh, a thong moikapap ka thet nakunghai, kâ a tawnnae cak mahoeh.

And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.

13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, atunglae siangpahrang bout thaw vaiteh, ahmaloe e hlak kapap e taminaw hah pâkhueng vaiteh, kum nâyittouh ne a ro torei ransanaw hoi senehmaica hoi a tho awh han.

And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, [even of] years, with a great army and with much substance.

14 Hatnae tueng dawkvah, akalae siangpahrang ka taran e apap han. Na miphunnaw thung dawk e tapungnaw ni vision akuep nahanelah thaw awh vaiteh, rawknae koe a pha awh han.

And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall.

15 Atunglae siangpahrang ni tho vaiteh kho rapannaw sak awh vaiteh, kacaklah kâkalup e khonaw hah a tuk awh han. Akalae senehmaica thaonae ni ngang thai mahoeh, hmoun e ransanaw ni hai ngang thai nahanelah tha tawn awh mahoeh.

So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city: and the forces of the south shall not stand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to stand.

16 Ka tuk e niteh, amahmawk a tuk dawkvah, ahnie hmalah apihai kangdout thai hoeh. Ram kahawi hah raphoe vaiteh, ka lentoe e ram lah a kangdue sak han.

But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction.

17 A uknaeram buemlah thaonae hoi a kâen hanlah a kâcai teh, akalae siangpahrang hoi kâhuiko hanelah a sak han. A canu poe e lahoi raphoe hanelah a kâcai eiteh, a pouknae patetlah awm hoeh. Banghai cungkeinae awm hoeh.

And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions; and he shall perform them: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him.

18 Hahoi, tuilumnaw koe lah kamlang vaiteh, tuilumnaw hah a tuk han. Hatei, ransabawi buet touh ni min mathoenae a dei e hah, katukkungnaw koe letlang a bo sak han.

After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him.

19 Hote bawi hai ama kho bout a ban hnukkhu a kamthui teh, a rawp teh a kahma.

Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.

20 Hote bawi e hmuen dawk tami buet touh sungren poung e uknaeram dawk, tamuk ka cawng e a kangdue han. Hatei, taran tuknae lungkhueknae dawk hoi laipalah, a kahma han.

Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

21 Ahnie hmuen dawk yuemkamcu hoeh e, bari kaawm hoeh e, dudam kamcu e tami a tâco han. Ahni ni tânae lahoi laipalah pasawtpanepnae lahoi uknaeram hah a la han.

And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

22 A hmalah kaawm e naw teh, tui kalen thaonae lahoi pâyo sak lah ao vaiteh, koung a rawk awh han. Lawkkam e bawi hai a rawk han.

And the overwhelming forces shall be overwhelmed from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

23 Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk ka kam e bawi teh, lawkkam a raphoe dawkvah, tami younca hoi a tho eiteh, a tha ao han.

And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.

24 Ram kahawi dawk tuk laipalah a kâen han. Lawp e hnopainaw hah ayânaw a rei han. Mintoenaw ni patenghai a sak awh boihoeh e hah a sak han. Kacakpounge kho rapanimnaw hah lawp hanelah kasawlah a kâpouk han.

In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: yea, he shall devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.

25 Puenghoi kapap e ransanaw hoi, akalae siangpahrang hah tuk vaiteh, amahoima thaonae hah a hroecoe han. Akalae siangpahrang ni hai moikapap ni teh athakaawme ransanaw hoi taran tuk hanlah a kâhroecoe awh ei, ngang thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kahawihoehe pouknae a tawn awh han.

And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise devices against him.

26 Siangpahrang koe kacatnetnaw ni ama tuk hanlah, letlang a kâcai awh. Hatei, a ransanaw teh, be kahmat vaiteh, tarankâtuknae koe tami moi a due awh han.

Yea, they that eat of his dainties shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow; and many shall fall down slain.

27 Hote siangpahrang roi teh kahawihoehe pouknae a tawn roi teh, caboi buet touh koe laithoe a dei roi han. Hatei, a pouknae coung pouh mahoeh. A pouknae teh khoe tangcoung e a tue dawk ka phat mingming han.

And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

28 Hahoi atunglae siangpahrang teh hnopai moikapap hoi ama ram lah a ban navah, kathounge lawkkamnae hah tarannae lungthin a tawn e patetlah a sak vaiteh, ama ram lah bout a ban han.

Then shall he return into his land with great substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall do [his pleasure], and return to his own land.

29 Khoe e tueng dawk bout ban vaiteh, akalah bout a tho han. Hatei, ahmaloe e patetlah nahoeh. A hnukkhu e patetlah hai nahoeh.

At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.

30 Bangtelane tetpawiteh, Kittim longnaw ni ahni tuk hanlah a tho awh han. Hatdawkvah puenghoi a lungpataw teh, lungkhuek laihoi bawkim kathoung tuk hanelah bout tho vaiteh, rawknae hah a sak han. Hottelah lawkkam kathoung katapoenaw hoi a kâhuiko awh han.

For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do [his pleasure]: he shall even return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant.

31 Ransanaw ni tuk pouh vaiteh, kathounge hmuen hah a khin sak awh han. A hnintangkuem sak e thuengnae hah takhoe awh vaiteh, panuetthopounge rawknae kathokhaikung hah a pâhung awh han.

And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual [burnt-offering], and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate.

32 Lawkkam ka taran e naw teh lawk dei thoumnae lahoi a rawk awh han. Hatei, Cathut ka panuek e taminaw teh thasainae hoi hno a sak thai awh han.

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].

33 Taminaw thung dawk a lungkaangnaw ni tami kapapnaw teh a cangkhai awh han. Hatei, hnin kasawlah tahloi hoi theinae, hmaisawinae, san lah mannae, lawpnae hoi a rawp awh han.

And they that are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, [many] days.

34 A rawp awh toteh, kabawpnae youn touh bout a coe awh han. Taminaw teh lawk dei thoumnae koe a kâbang awh han.

Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves unto them with flatteries.

35 A lungkaang e tami tangawn hai a rawp awh han, a thoung awh teh, toun hoeh nahanlah poutnae tueng totouh a sak han. Hot hateh, atueng khoe e totouh hane doeh.

And some of them that are wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.

36 Siangpahrang buet touh teh, amamouh ni a ngai e patetlah a sak han, cathutnaw pueng hlak kâtawmrasang vaiteh, cathutnaw e Cathut hah a taran han. Dudamnae lawk a dei han. Lungkhueknae akuep hoehroukrak a tâ han. Pouk tangcoung e patetlah sak roeroe han.

And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.

37 Ahni teh mintoenaw e Cathut hai, napui ngainae hai, alouke cathutnaw hai banglahai noutna hoeh. Tami pueng hlak amahoima a kâtawmrasang han.

Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above all.

38 Hote cathutnaw e hmuen dawk, rapan cathut, mintoenaw ni panue hoeh e cathut hah tawm vaiteh, sui, ngun, talung, ngai kaawm e hnonaw hah a thueng han.

But in his place shall he honor the god of fortresses; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.

39 Kacake rapannaw hai, Jentelnaw e cathut hai sak vaiteh, a bawilennae apung sak han. Taminaw uknaeram kâ poelah awm vaiteh, tawnta nahanlah talai hah a kârei awh han.

And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god: whosoever acknowledgeth [him] he will increase with glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.

40 Atueng poutnae tueng nah, akalae siangpahrang ni ahni hah a tuk han. Atunglae siangpahrang nihai, ranglengnaw, marangnaw, marangransanaw, longnaw hoi bongparui patetlah tho awh vaiteh, hote ram hah reprep a coungroe han.

And at the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through.

41 Khet kahawi e ram dawk hai a kâen awh han. Ram moikapap a lawp awh han. Hatei, Edom ram, Moab hoi Amon kahrawikungnaw teh ahnie kut dawk hoi a hlout awh han.

He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

42 Ram pueng dawk a ram pakaw vaiteh, Izip ram hai hlout mahoeh.

He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

43 Hote ram dawk kaawm e sui, ngun, aphu kaawm e hnonaw hah a la han. Libianaw hoi, Ethiopianaw hai ahni hnuk a kâbang awh han.

But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

44 Hatei, kanîtho lahoi, atunglah hoi kamthang a thai navah a lungpuen teh, tami moikapap thei hanelah puenghoi lungkhuek lahoi a tho han.

But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many.

45 Tuipui rahak vah ka lentoe niteh, kathounge mon dawk o nahan im a sak teh, kabawmkung awm laipalah, rawknae koe a pha han.

And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
