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 King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 Elam ram Shushan siangpahrang im, Ulai palang teng ka o navah vision teh a kamnue.
I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and 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.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came 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 westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
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.
As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 Ki kahni touh ka tawn ni teh palang namran lah kaawm e tutan aonae koe, puenghoi a yawng teh,
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.
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.
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
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.
The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.
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.
Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious 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.
It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.
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.
Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his 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.
The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
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 I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”
14 Ahmaloe e ka dei e ni, hnin 2300 totouh a ro han. Hathnukkhu, kathounge bawkim hah bout a pâsu awh han atipouh.
He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
15 Kai Daniel ni vision ka hmu e hah panue hanelah, kâyawm lahun nah tami hoi kâvan e buet touh ka hmalah a kangdue.
When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with 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.
I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
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 frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”
18 Hottelah, a dei lahunnah talai dawk mat ka i. Ahni ni a kut hoi na tek teh, na kangdue sak.
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me and set me upright.
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.
He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 Ki hra touh ka tawn e tutan teh Media siangpahrang doeh.
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Hmaetan teh Grik uknaeram doeh. Mit rahak ka cawn e ki hateh, ahmaloe e siangpahrang doeh.
The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes 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.
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
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.
“In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.
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.
His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
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.
Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.
26 Nang koe na poe e amom hoi tangmin e vision teh, ahman dawkvah tacikkin loe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ato hmalah torei a kuep han.
“The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”
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.
I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
