Daniel 7
1 Babilon siangpahrang Belshazzar a bawinae apasuek kum vah, Daniel teh a i lahunnah, mang a sak teh vision a hmu e naw hah a thut e teh,
In the first year of Baltasar king of the Chaldeans Daniel had a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed: and he wrote his dream.
2 Kai Daniel ni karum vah ka hmu e vision teh, kalvan takin pali touh koe e kahlînaw teh tuipui van vah buet touh hoi buet touh a kâhmang awh.
I Daniel beheld, and, lo, the four winds of heaven blew violently upon the great sea.
3 Reikâvan hoeh e sarang pali touh teh tuipui thung hoi a tâco awh. Apasueke sarang teh sendek hoi a kâvan. Mataw rathei hai a tawn.
And there came up four great beasts out of the sea, differing from one another.
4 Ka khet lahun nah ahnie ratheinaw teh koung a phawk pouh awh. Talai dawk hoi amahoima a kâtawm teh, tami patetlah khok hoi a kangdue teh, tami lungthin a tawn,
The first [was] as a lioness, and her wings as an eagle’s: I beheld until her wings were plucked, and she was lifted off from the earth, and she stood on human feet, and a man’s heart was given to her.
5 Apâhni e sarang teh tavom hoi a kâvan. Avang lae khok hoi a kangdue teh, a kâko dawk nâhru kathum touh a rakoung. Thaw nateh a moi moikapap cat haw atipouh awh.
And, behold, a second beast like a bear, and it supported itself on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth: and thus they said to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6 Bout ka khet boteh, kaisi hoi kâvan e sarang buet touh a kamnue. A hnukthun vah rathei pali touh ao. Lû pali touh a tawn. Uknae kâ hai a tawn.
After this one I looked, and behold another wild beast as a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon it: and the wild beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
7 Tangmin vah bout ka hmu e vision teh, a tha kaawm poung niteh, takikathopounge apalinae sarang teh a kamnue. Kalenpounge sumhâ a tawn. Vekrasen lah a kei a ca teh, a canawi e hah a khok hoi a coungroe. Ahni teh, ahmaloe e sarangnaw hoi kâvan hoeh. Ki hra touh a tawn.
After this one I looked, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong, and its teeth were of iron; devouring and crushing to atoms, and it trampled the remainder with its feet: and it was altogether different from all the beasts that were before it; and it [had] ten horns.
8 Hote kinaw hah ka khet lahunnah, kinaw e alungui vah, alouke ki buet touh bout a cawn. Hote kica e hmalah hmaloe e ki kathum touh teh a tangpha khuehoi phawk lah ao. Hote kica teh tami e mit patet e mit a tawn, puenghoi lawk dei thainae pahni hai a tawn.
I noticed his horns, and, behold, another little horn came up in the midst of them, and before it three of the former horns were rooted out: and, behold, [there were] eyes as the eyes of a man in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 Ka khet lahun navah, bawitungkhungnaw hah ka hmu. A kum kacue e buet touh a tahung. A khohna e teh tâmai patetlah a pangaw. A sam teh tumuen patetlah a pangaw. Tungkhung teh hmaito lah ao. Tungkhung khok teh ka kang lahun e hmai lah ao.
I beheld until the thrones were set, and the Ancient of days sat; and his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head as pure wool: his throne was a flame of fire, [and] his wheels burning fire.
10 A minhmai dawk hoi hmaiang a tâco. Touklek thai hoeh e naw ni a thaw a tawk awh teh, touklek thai hoeh e naw ni a hmalah a kangdue awh. Lawkceng hanelah cauknaw hah kadai lah ao.
A stream of fire rushed forth before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousands of myriads attended upon him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened.
11 Hatnavah, kica ni puenghoi dei e lawk dawk ka khet navah, hote sarang hah a thei awh teh, a tak hah hmai hoi a sawi awh teh, a raphoe awh.
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke, until the wild beast was slain and destroyed, and his body given to be burnt with fire.
12 Alouke sarang teh uknaeram kâ tawn awh hoeh eiteh, atueng khoe e a pha hoehnahlan totouh a hring awh.
And the dominion of the rest of the wild beasts was taken away; but a prolonging of life was given them for certain times.
13 Hote tangmin e vision dawk teh, tami hoi kâvan e buet touh tâmai a kâcui teh a kum kacue e koe a tho. A kum kacue e hmalah ahni hah a thokhai awh.
I beheld in the night vision, and, lo, [one] coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he came on to the Ancient of days, and was brought near to him.
14 Kho tangkuem kaawm e lawk cawngca kapan e tami pueng hah uk sak hanelah, ahni koe uknaeram kâ, lawkcengnae hoi bawilennae hah poelah ao. A uknaeram teh akangning, a ram teh rawk thai mahoeh.
And to him was given the dominion, and the honour, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.
15 Kai Daniel teh hote vision ni ka lungthin dawk runae na poe teh, ka muitha teh a cingou.
[As for] me Daniel, my spirit in my body trembled, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 Ateng kangdout e buet touh koe ka cei teh, atu e ka hmu e naw hah bangtelamaw telah ka pacei.
And I drew near to one of them that stood by, and I sought to learn of him the truth of all these things: and he told me the truth, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
17 Ahni ni hete sarang pali touh teh talai van ka tâcawt hane ram pali touh hah doeh.
These four beasts are four kingdoms [that] shall rise up on the earth:
18 Hatei, a lathueng poung e Cathut e tami kathoungnaw ni hote uknaeram coe awh vaiteh, a yungyoe a pang awh han telah atipouh.
which shall be taken away; and the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess it for ever and ever.
19 Hat toteh, alouke sarangnaw hlak taki hoe ka tho niteh, sumhâ hoi rahum khokpatin ka tawn niteh, vekrasen lah a kei a ca teh, canawi e hah a khok hoi ka coungroe e sarang teh bangmouh a deingai nah aw tie thoseh,
Then I enquired carefully concerning the fourth beast; for it differed from every [other] beast, exceeding dreadful: its teeth were of iron, and its claws of brass, devouring, and utterly breaking to pieces, and it trampled the remainder with its feet:
20 A lû dawk e ki hra touh teh bangmouh a dei ngai na aw tie hai thoseh, a hnukkhu ka cawn niteh, ahmaloe e ki kathum touh hah din ka phawng niteh, puenghoi lawk dei thainae pahni hoi mit ka tawn e, a huinaw hlak taranhawinae minhmai ka tawn e ki hateh bangmouh a deingai nah tie hah panue han ka ngai.
and concerning its ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and rooted up [some] of the former, which had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and his look was bolder than the rest.
21 Ka khet lahun navah, a kum kacue e buet touh a tho teh,
I beheld, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 a lathueng poung e Cathut e tami kathoungnaw koe uknaeram teh poe lah ao. Hahoi, uknaeram pang hanelah tami kathoungnaw hanelah khoe e atueng teh a pha.
until the Ancient of days came, and he gave judgment to the saints of the Most High; and the time came on, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Ahni ni, apalinae sarang teh talai van kaawm e ram puenghoi hai kâvan hoeh e apalinae uknaeram doeh. Hete ni talai uknaeram pueng vekrasen lah kei vaiteh a coungroe han.
And he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on the earth, which shall excel all [other] kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and trample and destroy it.
24 Hote uknaeram dawk hoi ka cawn e ki hra touh hateh, ka tho hane siangpahrang hra touh hah doeh. Ahnimouh hnukkhu alouke siangpahrang a tho han. Ahmaloe e siangpahrangnaw hoi kâvan hoeh. Ahmaloe e siangpahrang kathum touh hah a pabo han.
And his ten horns are ten kings [that] shall arise: and after them shall arise another, who shall exceed all the former ones in wickedness, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 A lathueng poung e Cathut hah taran vaiteh, puenghoi lawk a dei han. Atueng hoi kâlawk hah pathai hanlah a panki han. Atueng buet touh, atueng kahni touh, atueng tangawn totouh kâ a tawn han.
And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change times and law: and [power] shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.
26 Hathnukkhu lawkcengnae ao han. Hattoteh kâ a tawnnae takhoe pouh lah awm vaiteh, khoeroe raphoe lah ao han.
And the judgment has sat, and they shall remove [his] dominion to abolish it, and to destroy it utterly.
27 Kalvan rahim kâtawnnae, uknaeram, hoi lentoenae naw teh, a Lathueng Poung e Cathut e a tami kathoungnaw koe uknaeram poe lah ao han.
And the kingdom and the power and the greatness of the kings that are under the whole heaven were given to the saints of the Most High; and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all powers shall serve and obey him.
28 Het totouh heh, deicainae doeh toe. Kai Daniel teh ka lung a puen teh, ka minhmai pan hoeh. Hatei nakunghai, ka hmu e visionnaw hah ka lung thungvah ka pâkuem.
Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance was changed: but I kept the matter in my heart.
