Daniel 8
1 Siangpahrang Belshazzar a bawinae a kum pâthum nah, kai koe vision a kamnue. Kai Daniel koe ahmaloe a kamnue hnukkhu bout a kamnue.
In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision, appeared unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the beginning.
2 Elam ram Shushan siangpahrang im, Ulai palang teng ka o navah vision teh a kamnue.
So then I saw, in the vision, and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was in Shusan the fortress, which is in Persia the province, —yea I saw it in a vision, when, I, was by the river Ulai.
3 Ka khet navah, ki kahni touh ka tawn e tutan buet touh palang rai a kangdue. Ki roi teh kâvan hoeh, buet touh teh bet a saw. Bet ka saw e ki teh a hnukkhu ka cawn e lah ao.
So then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and lo! a ram, standing before the river, and, it, had two horns, —and, the two horns, were high, but, the one, was higher than the other, and, the higher, had come up, last.
4 Hote tu ni kanîloum, atunglah, akalah a deng dawkvah, bangpatet e saring ni hai ngang thai hoeh. Ahnie kut dawk hoi apinihai a hlout sak thai hoeh dawkvah, a ngai e patetlah a sak teh, ka lentoe poung e lah ao.
I saw the ram, pushing strongly westward and northward and southward, so that no wild beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand, —but he did according to his own pleasure, and shewed himself great.
5 Hote konglam hah ka pouk navah, mit roi e rahak vah ki buet touh ka cawn e hmaetan buet touh teh, kanîloumlah hoi a tâco teh talai coungroe laipalah talai van pueng a katin.
Now, I, was observing, when lo! a he-goat, coming in out of the west, over the face of all the earth, but it meddled not with the earth, —and, the goat, had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
6 Ki kahni touh ka tawn ni teh palang namran lah kaawm e tutan aonae koe, puenghoi a yawng teh,
So then he came up to the ram having the two horns, which I had seen, standing before the river, —and ran unto him, in the fury of his strength.
7 ateng a pha toteh, puenghoi a lungkhuek dawkvah, tutan hah a deng teh tutan e ki kahni touh e hah, letlet a khoe pouh. Tutan ni a ngang thai hoeh dawkvah, hmaetan ni tutan hah talai dawk a parawp teh, a coungroe. A kut dawk hoi tutan hah apinihai lawm thai hoeh.
Yea I saw him coming close upon the ram, and he was enraged at him, and smote the ram, and brake in pieces both his horns, and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, —but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled him underfoot, and there was none could deliver the ram out of his power.
8 Hottelah hoi, hote hmaetan teh, puenghoi a roung teh a len. A tha ao lahunnah, a ki a lawt pouh. Hote ki hmuen dawk ki pali touh a cawn teh, kalvan kahlî pali touh koe lah, a kangvawi awh.
But, the he-goat, shewed himself very great, —and, when he had become mighty, the great horn, was broken in pieces, and there came up afterwards four, in its stead, towards the four winds of the heavens;
9 Hote ki pali touh thung dawk buet touh e ki dawk alouke ki kang bout a cawn. Akalah hai thoseh, kanîtholah ai thoseh, ka lentoe e ram koe lahai thoseh, a kangvawi teh, puenghoi lennae koe a pha.
and, out of the first of them, came forth a little horn, —which became exceedingly great, against the south and against the east, and against the beautiful [land];
10 Kalvan kaawm e koe totouh a roung teh, hawvah kaawm e atangawnnaw hoi âsi tangawn naw teh, talai van a pabo teh, khok hoi a coungroe.
yea it became great as far as the host of the heavens, —and caused to fall, to the earth, some of the host and some of the stars, and trampled them underfoot;
11 Hothloilah, kalvan e kaawm e koe totouh a kâoup teh, hnintangkuem sak lah kaawm e hmaisawi thuengnae hah a takhoe teh thoungnae hmuen hah a raphoe han.
even as far as the ruler of the host, shewed he his greatness, —and, because of him, was taken away the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and the place of the sanctuary, was cast down;
12 Payonnae dawk hnintangkuem sak e hmaisawi thuengnae hoi ransanaw hoi hote ki koe poelah ao teh, lawkkatang hah talai totouh a pabo teh, tânae a hmu.
and, a host, was set over the continual [ascending-sacrifice], by transgression, —and faithfulness, was cast down, to the ground, and so he acted with effect, and succeeded.
13 Hatdawkvah, tami kathoung buet touh ni, dei e lawk hah ka thai. Alouke tami kathoung ni ahmaloe lawk a ka dei e tami kathoung koe, thoungnae hmuen hoi ransanaw hmaisawi thuengnae takhoe hanelah thoseh, coungroe hanelah hnintangkuem sak e raphoe e yonnae hoi thoseh, kâkuen e vision teh nâtotouh han na maw atipouh.
Then heard I a certain holy one, speaking, —and another holy one said to that certain holy one who was speaking—How long is the vision of the continual [ascending-sacrifice] as taken away, and the transgression which astoundeth, for both sanctuary and host to be given over to be trampled underfoot?
14 Ahmaloe e ka dei e ni, hnin 2300 totouh a ro han. Hathnukkhu, kathounge bawkim hah bout a pâsu awh han atipouh.
And he said unto him, Until two thousand and three hundred evening-mornings, —then shall the sanctuary, be vindicated.
15 Kai Daniel ni vision ka hmu e hah panue hanelah, kâyawm lahun nah tami hoi kâvan e buet touh ka hmalah a kangdue.
And it came to pass, when, I Daniel, had seen the vision, —and had sought discernment, that lo! there was standing before me, as the appearance of a man.
16 Hatnavah, Ulai palang koehoi tami e lawk ni, Gabriel hete tami koe vision deingainae hah dei pouh haw, tie lawk ka thai.
Then heard I a human voice, between [the banks of] the Ulai, —which cried out, and said, Gabriel! cause this man to understand the revelation.
17 Kai ka kangdue nah kai koe rek a hnai toteh, ka taki teh ka tabo. Ahni ni, hei! Tami capa, thai panuek haw. Hete vision teh atueng poutnae hoi kâkuen e doeh a ti.
So he came near where I stood, and, when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face, —but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man, that, to the time of the end, belongeth the vision.
18 Hottelah, a dei lahunnah talai dawk mat ka i. Ahni ni a kut hoi na tek teh, na kangdue sak.
And, when he spake with me, I fell stunned upon my face, to the earth, —but he touched me, and caused me to stand up where I was.
19 Ahni ni, lungkhueknae atueng, apoutnae koe lah kaawm hane naw hah bout ka dei han rah. Bangkongtetpawiteh, atueng khoe e dawk poutnae kaawm han.
Then said he, Behold me! causing thee to know, that which shall come to pass in the afterpart of the indignation, —for, at an appointed time, shall be an end.
20 Ki hra touh ka tawn e tutan teh Media siangpahrang doeh.
The ram which thou sawest, having the two horns, representeth the kings of Media and Persia;
21 Hmaetan teh Grik uknaeram doeh. Mit rahak ka cawn e ki hateh, ahmaloe e siangpahrang doeh.
and, the he-goat, is the king of Greece, —and, the great horn which was between his eyes, the same, is the first king.
22 Hote ki a lawt teh, hmuen dawk ki pali touh a cawn tie teh, ahnie uknaeram dawk hoi ram pali touh a tâco han. Hatei, ahmaloe e ram patetlah bahu tawn awh hoeh.
Now, as for its being broken in pieces, whereupon there stood up four in its stead, four kingdoms, out of his nation, shall stand up, but not with his strength;
23 Ahnimae uknaeram atueng abawnae koe lah, kâ katapoenaw e hawihoehnae akuep nah tueng toteh, taranhawinae minhmai, dumyennae ka panuek e siangpahrang buet touh a tâco han.
but, in the aftertime of their kingdom, when transgressions, have filled up their measure, —there will stand up a king of mighty presence, and skilful in dissimulation;
24 Hote siangpahrang teh, athakaawme lah ao han. Hatei, amae bahu nahoeh. Puenghoi raphoe tânae a hmu awh han. Atha kaawm e taminaw hoi tami kathoungnaw hah a raphoe han.
and his strength, will be mighty, but not through his own strength, and, wonderfully, will he destroy, and succeed and act with effect, —and will destroy mighty ones, and the people of holy ones;
25 Tâ hanelah a dumyen han, amahoima, ka taluepoung lah a kâpouk han. Roumnae ao ati awh navah ahni ni taminaw hah raphoe vaiteh, ahni ni, bawinaw e Bawi hah a taran han. Hatei, ahni teh, raphoe lah ao han. Tami e bahu hoi mahoeh.
and, by his cunning, will he both cause deceit to succeed in his hand, and, in his own heart, will he shew himself to be great, and, by their careless security, will he destroy many, —and, against the ruler of rulers, will he stand up, but, without hand, shall be broken in pieces.
26 Nang koe na poe e amom hoi tangmin e vision teh, ahman dawkvah tacikkin loe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ato hmalah torei a kuep han.
Now, the revelation of the evening and the morning which hath been told, faithful, indeed it is, —but, thou, close up the vision, because it is for many days.
27 Hattoteh kai Daniel teh, nget tawn laihoi ka pataw. Hathnukkhu ka thaw teh, siangpahrang thaw bout ka tawk. Ka hmu e vision ni puenghoi kângai na ru sak. Hothateh, apinihai panuek thai hoeh.
Now, as for me Daniel, then was I sick for days, but I arose and did the business of the king, —and, though I was confounded concerning the revelation, yet could no one discern it.
