Daniel 12
1 Hatnae tueng dawkvah, na miphunnaw kangdoutkhaikung Maikel teh a tâco han. Miphun a kamtawngnae koehoi hote tueng totouh kaawm boihoeh e runae teh a tho han. Hatnavah, cauk dawk min pakhum lah kaawm e na miphun pueng teh, rungngang lah ao han.
[The angel also said to me, ] “After those things happen, the great angel Michael, who protects the [Israeli] people, will appear. Then there will be a time when there will be great troubles/suffering. The troubles will be greater than any troubles/suffering since the nations began. At that time, all of your people whose names have been written in the book [containing the names of those who have eternal life] will be saved.
2 Hatnae tueng navah, vaiphu dawk ka ip tangcoungnaw teh a kâhlaw awh han. Atangawn teh a yungyoe hringnae koelah thoseh, atangawn teh a yungyoe yeirai kayanae koelah thoseh a kâhlaw awh han.
Many of those who have died [EUP] will become alive again. Some of them will live eternally [with God], and some will be eternally shamed/disgraced [in hell]. (questioned)
3 A lungkaangnaw teh lathunglae ka ang e patetlah a ang awh vaiteh, tami kapap lannae lamthung ka dawn sak e naw hai âsinaw patetlah pout laipalah a ang awh han.
Those who were wise will shine as brightly as the sky [is bright when the sun is shining]. And those who have shown to others the way to live righteously will shine forever, like the stars [SIM].
4 Nang Daniel teh, atueng abaw totouh hete lawknaw hah khan nateh, cauk hah tacikkin haw. Tami kapap ni hote ca touknae lahoi lungangnae apung han ati.
But as for you, Daniel, close up the scroll [on which you are writing], and seal it [in order that no one can open it] until the end [of the world] is near. [Before that happens, ] many people will travel rapidly here and there, learning more and more [about many things].”
5 Hathnukkhu, kai Daniel ni ka khet navah, alouke kahni touh, tui kongteng avangvanglah a kangdue roi e hah ka hmu.
When [that angel finished speaking], I, Daniel, looked up, and suddenly I saw two other [angels]. One was standing on the side of the river [where I was], and one was standing on the other side.
6 Buet touh e niyah hete kângai ka ru hnonaw akuep nahanlah nâsittouh maw ao han telah loukloukkaang e ka khohnat niteh, tui van kaawm e tami hah a pacei.
One of them [called to] the other one, who was wearing linen/white clothes, who was now standing further up (OR, above) the river, “How long will it be until these amazing/frightening events end?”
7 Loukloukkaang e ka khohnat niteh, tui van kaawm e tami ni, atueng buet touh, atueng kahni, atueng tangawn touh a ro han. Tami kathoungnaw e hnotithainae hah kho tangkuem kahei hnukkhu, hete hnonaw pueng hai apout han telah a kut roi hoi kalvan lah a dâw teh, a yungyoe kahring e Cathut koe thoe a kâbo e hah ka thai.
The angel who was on the other side of (OR, above) the river raised his hands toward the sky, and solemnly promised, with the authority [MTY] of God, who lives forever, “It will be three and a half years. All these things will end after God’s people stop fighting against those who (persecute/cause trouble for/cause suffering for) them.”
8 Hote lawk hah ka thai teh, ka panue hoeh dawkvah, Bawipa hete hnonaw hah bangtelamaw akuep han telah ka pacei.
I heard [what he said], but I did not understand it. So I asked, “Sir, what will be the result when these things end?”
9 Ahni ni, Daniel nang teh cet leih, hete lawk teh apout hnin totouh tacikkin lah ao toe.
He replied, “Daniel, you must leave now. [I cannot answer your question] because what it means must (be kept secret/not be revealed) [DOU] until the time when everything ends.
10 Tami moikapap teh thoungsak lah ao teh, pangawsak lah ao. Tamikathoutnaw teh hawihoehnae sak awh vaiteh, buet touh ni boehai panuek awh mahoeh. A lungkaangnaw niteh, a panue awh han.
Many people will thoroughly purify their inner beings [DOU]. But wicked people will not understand these things. They will continue to be wicked. Only those who are wise will understand [these things].
11 A hnintangkuem sak e thuengnae takhoe teh, panuetthopounge karaphoekung a tâco hoi hnin 1,290 touh a ro han.
[But I can tell you that before everything ends, ] there will be 1,290 days, from the time that people are prevented from offering sacrifices each day, that is, from the time that the abominable/disgusting thing is put in the temple.
12 A hnin 1,335 totouh ka ring niteh, ka phat e tami teh, a yawkahawi e lah ao.
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 Nang teh, apout totouh na lamthung dawk cet haw. Na kâhat vaiteh, a hninnaw apout toteh, nama e râw coe hanelah bout na thaw han ati.
So [now I say] to you, continue to faithfully [trust God] until [your life on earth] ends. You will die [EUP], but when everything ends, you will receive your reward [from God].”
