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 Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed; then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
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.
Daniel spoke and said: I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven broke forth 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 four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from 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 like a lion, and had eagle's wings; I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
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 another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was said thus unto 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 I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the sides of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion 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 I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet; and it was diverse 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 considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, 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 till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was as white snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof 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 fiery stream issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the judgment was set, 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 at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke, I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
12 Alouke sarang teh uknaeram kâ tawn awh hoeh eiteh, atueng khoe e a pha hoehnahlan totouh a hring awh.
And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
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 saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of days, and he was brought near before 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 there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which 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 was pained in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head affrighted me.
16 Ateng kangdout e buet touh koe ka cei teh, atu e ka hmu e naw hah bangtelamaw telah ka pacei.
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:
17 Ahni ni hete sarang pali touh teh talai van ka tâcawt hane ram pali touh hah doeh.
'These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of 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.
But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even 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 desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue 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 the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell; even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose appearance was greater than that of its fellows.
21 Ka khet lahun navah, a kum kacue e buet touh a tho teh,
I beheld, and the same 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 judgment was given for the saints of the Most High; and the time came, 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.
Thus he said: 'The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
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 as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down 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 he shall think to change the seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until 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.
But the judgment shall sit, and his dominions shall be taken away, to be consumed and to be destroy unto the end.
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 dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'
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.
Here is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much affrighted me, and my countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.
