Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one that had appeared to me earlier.
Manghai Belshazzar ram kah a kum thum dongah tah mangthui Te kai Daniel kamah taengah phoe tih lamhma kah te ni kai taengah koep a phoe.
2 And in the vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa, in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal.
Mangthui neh ka hmuh bangla a om vaengah ka sawt hatah kamah tah Elam paeng kah Shushan rhalmah im kana om. Mangthui ah koep ka hmuh bal vaengah tah kai he Ulai tuilong ah ka om bal.
3 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a ram with two horns standing beside the canal. The horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one grew up later.
Ka mik te ka huel tih ka sawt vaengah tuilong dan ah tutal pakhat tarha pai. Te te ki panit om tih a ki te bok sen. Pakhat te a pabae lakah sen tih a sen te a hnuk ah thoeng.
4 I saw the ram charging toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against him, and there was no deliverance from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.
Tutal te ka hmuh vaengah khotlak la, tlangpuei la, tuithim la a thoeh tih mulhing boeih loh a mikhmuh ah pai thai pawh. Anih kut lamloh aka huul khaw a om pawt dongah a kolonah bangla a saii tih rhoeng.
5 As I was contemplating all this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes came out of the west, crossing the surface of the entire earth without touching the ground.
Kai khaw ka om na kungah ka yakming vaengah khotlak lamkah maae tal tarha ha thoeng. Te long Te diklai hmai boeih a poe tih diklai khaw ben pawh. Maae tal Te a mik laklo ah mingphanah ki om.
6 He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed at him with furious power.
Te vaengah ki boei tutal taengla cet tih tuilong hmai ah a pai te ka hmuh. Te phoeiah a taengla a thadueng kosi neh yong.
7 I saw him approach the ram in a rage against him, and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against him, and the goat threw him to the ground and trampled him, and no one could deliver the ram from his power.
Te phoeiah tutal taengla a ben tih tutal te a phaep. Tutal te a thoeh tih a ki rhoi te tlawt. Tutal Te anih hmai ah pai hamla a khuiah thadueng khueh pawt tih diklai la a voeih. Tutal te a suntlae tih anih kut lamloh aka huul om pawh.
8 Thus the goat became very great, but at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off, and four prominent horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven.
Maae tal bahoeng rhoeng tih a thaom dae a ki len tah tlawt. Te phoeiah a yueng pali Te mingphanah la cawn tih vaan khohli pali taengla hoiuh.
9 From one of these horns a little horn emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful Land.
Te rhoek khuiah pakhat dong lamloh a ki noe pakhat cawn dae tuithim la, khocuk la, kirhang taengla muep rhoeng.
10 It grew as high as the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the earth, and trampled them.
Vaan caempuei taengla rhoeng tih caempuei taeng lamloh, aisi taeng lamloh diklai la cungku tih amih te a suntlae.
11 It magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host; it removed His daily sacrifice and overthrew the place of His sanctuary.
Te phoeiah caempuei mangpa la a pomsang dae anih lamkah sainoek te a kuel a kuel tih a rhokso hmuen te a voeih pah.
12 And in the rebellion, the host and the daily sacrifice were given over to the horn, and it flung truth to the ground and prospered in whatever it did.
Boekoeknah he caempuei neh sainoek yueng la a khueh. Te vaengah oltak Te diklai la a voeih tih a saii daengah thaihtak.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long until the fulfillment of the vision of the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host to be trampled?”
Te phoeiah hlangcim pakhat loh a thui te ka yaak tih, “Hlangcim pakhat loh pakhat taengah, 'Sainoek kah mangthui khaw me hil nim a thui ve? Boekoeknah loh hmuencim te dingrhak la khueh ham neh caempuei kah cawtkoi ham khaw,” a ti.
14 He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be properly restored.”
Te vaengah kai taengah, “Hlaem mincang thawng hnih ya thum duela om vetih hmuencim te a ciim ni,” a ti.
15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.
Kai Daniel kamah khaw mangthui ka hmuh vaengah yakmingnah ka tlap. Te vaengah hlang kah mueimae bangla kamah hmai ah tarha pai.
16 And I heard the voice of a man calling from between the banks of the Ulai: “Gabriel, explain the vision to this man.”
Ulai lamkah hlang ol ka yaak vaengah pang tih, “Gabriel, a hmuethma he n'yakming sak lah,” a ti.
17 As he came near to where I stood, I was terrified and fell facedown. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”
Te dongah ka paihmuen la ha thoeih tih anih ham pha vaengah ka let. Ka maelhmai dongah ka bakop dae kai te, “Hlang capa aw, mangthui a bawtnah tue te yakming laeh,” a ti.
18 While he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me, helped me to my feet,
Kai ham a thui vaengah ka maelhmai neh diklai la ka ip coeng. Tedae kai te n'taek tih ka paihmuen la kai n'thoh.
19 and said, “Behold, I will make known to you what will happen in the latter time of wrath, because it concerns the appointed time of the end.
Te phoeiah, “A bawtnah khoning vaengkah kosi bawtnah dongah aka om ham te nang taengah kan ming sak ne,” a ti.
20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.
Tutal ki boei na hmuh te Madai neh Persia manghai ne.
21 The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king.
Maae tal tah Greek manghai tih a mik laklo kah ki a len tah lamhma kah manghai ni.
22 The four horns that replaced the broken one represent four kingdoms that will rise from that nation, but will not have the same power.
Te te a tlawt phoeiah a yueng pali a cawn he namtom lamkah ram pali pai suidae a thadueng neh om mahpawh.
23 In the latter part of their reign, when the rebellion has reached its full measure, an insolent king, skilled in intrigue, will come to the throne.
Hmailong ah amih ram khaw boekoek cung vetih maelhmai aka tlung neh olkael aka yakming manghai phoe ni.
24 His power will be great, but it will not be his own. He will cause terrible destruction and succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men along with the holy people.
Te vaengah a thadueng rhoeng suidae a thadueng neh om mahpawh. Khobaerhambae khaw a phae vetih thaihtak ni. Te phoeiah a saii vetih pilnu neh pilnam cim khaw a phae ni.
25 Through his craft and by his hand, he will cause deceit to prosper, and in his own mind he will make himself great. In a time of peace he will destroy many, and he will even stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be broken off, but not by human hands.
A lungmingnah nen khaw, a kut dongkah thailatnah nen khaw thaihtak vetih a thinko ah pomsang ni. Ommongnah dongah khaw muep paci vetih mangpa rhoek kah mangpa taengah pai bal ni. Tedae hlang kut mueh nen ni a bawt eh.
26 The vision of the evenings and the mornings that has been spoken is true. Now you must seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”
Hlaem neh mincang kah a hmuethma loh oltak amah te a thui coeng. Tedae namah kum a sen ham la mangthui Te khoem laeh.
27 I, Daniel, was exhausted and lay ill for days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was confounded by the vision; it was beyond understanding.
Kai Daniel khaw ka om dae khohnin loh nue coeng. Ka thoh neh manghai kah bitat te ka saii. Te dongah a hmuethma nen khaw ka pong tih ka yakming voel pawh.
