< Daniel 7 >

1 In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream, and visions came into his head on his bed: then he put the dream in writing.
Babylon lengpa Belshazzar lengvaipoh kal, kum masapen chun, Daniel ajalkhun’a aluppet in, amang in themgao thilmu khat aneiye. Aman amang’a athilmu ho chu asundoh in, athudol chu hiti ahi.
2 I had a vision by night, and saw the four winds of heaven violently moving the great sea.
Daniel keiman jan kamang chun, twikhanglen’a khopi hui nasatah in twipi ahinpeija chuleh aninglia kon’a hui hattah in ahin semling soh chu kamui.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.
Chuin twikhanglen twi lah’a kon chun, sahem li ahung potdoh'in, amaho chu akilou beihel, achom cheh ahiuve.
4 The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings; while I was watching its wings were pulled off, and it was lifted up from the earth and placed on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Sahem masapen chu, muvanlai lhaving nei sakei bahkai tobang ahi. Keiman kavet vet leh, alhaving teni chu apullhan, chuin sahem chu mihem bang in, anung kengin apansan ading’e. Chuleh hiche sahem chu mihem lungthim kipe ahi.
5 And I saw another beast, like a bear, and it was lifted up on one side, and three side-bones were in its mouth, between its teeth: and they said to it, Up! take much flesh.
Chuin sahem nina chu kamun, vompi tobang ahi. Hiche sahem chu apang khatseh in apansan. Chuleh akamsung’a aha chung leh noi kah’a chun nahgu thum amom’e. Chuleh keiman, hiche sahem jah’a kiseipeh aw khat kajan, “kipat doh in mihem ho sa najo chan gane tan” ati.
6 After this I saw another beast, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings like those of a bird; and the beast had four heads, and the power of a ruler was given to it.
Chujou chun sahem thumna kidangtah khat ahung potdoh kamun, lutnu toh akilouve. Hiche sahem chun atungtun’a vacha lhaving li aneiyin, chuleh aluchang jong li aneiye. Chuleh thuneina lentah lengvaipohna chu hiche sahem hi kipe ahi.
7 After this, in my vision of the night, I saw a fourth beast, a thing causing fear and very troubling, full of power and very strong; and it had great iron teeth: it took its food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping down the rest with its feet: it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.
Hichejou ajan chun, themgao thilmun mang kanei kit in, sahem lina chu kamui. Hichu kichat umtah leh tijat umtah ahin, ahat’a hat ahi. Hiche sahem hin ahatmo ho sa chu alhai ngimset sot in, ane jin ahi. Aha ho jong thih ngen ahin chuleh alen theije. Chuleh anehmoh ho chengse chu akengphang in tol’ah achilgoijin ahi. Hiche sahem hi, sahem dang kamu masah hotoh kibanglou hel ahin, aki jong som aneiye.
8 I was watching the horns with care, and I saw another coming up among them, a little one, before which three of the first horns were pulled up by the roots: and there were eyes like a man's eyes in this horn, and a mouth saying great things.
Aki hochu kavet vet leh, alah’uva chun a ki neocha achombeh khat ahung dondoh in ahi. Hiche aki neocha mun ong-ot nan, ana um masa aki thum hochu ajung pum in apullha tauve. Aki neocha chun mit aneiyin mihem mit tobang ahin, chuleh akam jong chu ham hoithona dim ahi.
9 I went on looking till the seats of kings were placed, and one like a very old man took his seat: his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like clean wool; his seat was flames of fire and its wheels burning fire.
Hitia kavet petchun, laltouna ho ahung kidotoh in, chuin gollui khangmasa-apat-umsa kitipa chu thutan vaihom dingin laltouna chu alotai. Aponsil chu buhbang tobang'in abangleh in, chuleh alujang sam jong chu samul theng jolsel tobang ahi. Ama chu mei-am pahlah tobang laltouna chung’a atouvin, chuleh alaltouna kitunna velkol ho chu meikou leng tobang ahiuve.
10 A stream of fire was flowing and coming out from before him: a thousand thousands were his servants, and ten thousand times ten thousand were in their places before him: the judge was seated and the books were open.
Vadung twilong bangin meikong chu ahung longdoh jengin, hichu ama umna'a-angsung’a kon’a hung longdoh ahi. A sangsom asangja vantil ho chu ama kinbol ding in a-ang sung’a chun angah uve. Chuin lekhabu chu aphong un, chuleh thutanna jong chu akipan tai.
11 Then I saw — because of the voice of the great words which the horn said — I saw till the beast was put to death, and its body was given to destruction, and the beast was given to the burning of fire.
Chuin aki neocha chun kiletsah tah’a thu asei gin chu kajan, hijeh chun keiman kave den tan ahi. Hitia kavet petchun, sahem li’na chu athatdoh’un chuleh atahsa chu meilhum sung’a agouvam un, a sumang tauve.
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their authority was taken away: but they let them go on living for a measure of time.
Chuleh sahem dang thum hojong chu, amaho’a kon in athuneina’u akilahmangpeh tauve. Ahivang in amaho chu phat chomkhat ahinkho’u umbe nalai dingin akikoi tai.
13 I saw in visions of the night, and there was coming with the clouds of heaven one like a man, and he came to the one who was very old, and they took him near before him.
Chuche jan kamang chun themgao thilmu bangin kamu kit in, vanlaijol’a meilhang lom toh mihem chapa tobang khat ahung kamui. Aman gollui khang masa-a pat hung umpeh pachu anailut in, a-angsung’ah apuilut tai.
14 And to him was given authority and glory and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages were his servants: his authority is an eternal authority which will not come to an end, and his kingdom is one which will not come to destruction.
Ama chu vannoi pumpia namtin vaipi chunga thuneina leh jabolna chuleh lengvaihomna chu kipe ahitai. Ajeh chu chitin namtin’ah mijouse leh paotintang in, ama thu chu angai ding ahi. Ama lengvaipoh chuh atonsot’a umjing ding, chuleh beitih neilouva kisumang talou ding ahitai.
15 As for me, Daniel, my spirit was pained because of this, and the visions of my head were troubling me.
Keima, Daniel Kitipa hi, kamang a kathilmu hochun kalung asuboi alheh in, chuleh gaova kathilmu chengse chun eisukicha jeng in ahi.
16 I came near to one of those who were waiting there, questioning him about what all this was. And he said to me that he would make clear to me the sense of these things.
Hijeh chun, keiman laltouna kimvel’a ding jingho lah’a mikhat chu ka nailut in, ajah’a thilsoh hicheng hi ipi kisei na hitam, tin kadong’e. Aman hiche ho hilchetna chu hitin ei seipeh tai.
17 These great beasts are four kings who will be cut off from the earth.
Hiche sahem li hohi, khonung’a leiset chung’a hung leng chang ding leng li ho vetsahna ahiuve.
18 But the saints of the Most High will take the kingdom, and it will be theirs for ever, even for ever and ever.
Amavang ninunung nileh, Chungnungpen Pathen mithengte khut’a, alenggam’u chu kipedoh’a, amahon atonsot’a lengvai apoh ding’u ahi tai.
19 Then it was my desire to have certain knowledge about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, a cause of great fear, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who took his food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping on the rest with his feet;
Chuin sahem lina, adang toh kibang louhel, kichat tijat umpen chu, avetsahna dihtah ipi ham, ti kahetnom lheh jenge. Hiche sahem chu aha jouse thih ahin, chuleh atin ho sum-eng jeng ahiuve. Hichun, ahatmo ho sa abottel tel in, sahing chu anen, chuleh amoh chengse chu tol’a akengphang in achil goijin ahi.
20 And about the ten horns on his head and the other which came up, causing the fall of three; that horn which had eyes, and a mouth saying great things, which seemed to be greater than the other horns.
Keiman kadong kit in, sahem lina luchang’a aki som jen aumdoh jouva neocha achombeh khat ahung dondoh kit a, aummasa aki thumho asuhmang jeng hi, ipi kiseina ham, kati. Hichea aki neocha hi aki dangho sangin loupijo in aume. Chuleh hiche hin, mihem mit tobang mitni aneiyin chuleh akam jong ham hoitho adim e.
21 And I saw how that horn made war on the saints and overcame them,
Hitia kavet vet leh, hiche aki neocha chun, Pathen mithengte chung’a gal ahinsat in, chuleh amaho chu abon’un gal in ajousoh in.
22 Till he came, who was very old, and the decision was made and the authority was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints took the kingdom.
Chungnungpen Pathen, gollui khangmasa peh’a umjing chu, ahung’a ama mithengte ding’a thutanna ahungbol kahsen, gal ajoutapouve. Chuin, mithengten hiche lenggam chu akisan’uva chuleh alonadiu phat chu ahung lhung tai.
23 This is what he said: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom which will come on earth, different from all the kingdoms, and it will overcome all the earth, crushing it down and smashing it.
Chuin aman kajah’a asei chu, Hiche sahem lina hi, leiset chunga lengvai hinpo ding lenggam lina hung umding chu avetsah ahi. Hichu lenggam adangho toh kibang louhel, achombeh hiding ahi. Hiche lenggam chun, leiset pumpi avallhum’a lengvai apoh ding, ijakai chu akengto’a achotpha’a chuleh achilgoi ding ahi.
24 And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will come to power; and after them another will come up: he will be different from the first ones and will put down three kings.
Chuleh alu’a aki som jen um chu, vaipo ding leng som ho ahiuve. Chuin amaho lah’a chun, lengdang khat hung intin, ama chu anaum masa leng hotoh kibang louhel ding ahi. Chuleh anaumsa lenggam thum hochu, aman asuhnem ding ahi atipeh e.
25 And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law; and the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time.
Hiche lengpa hin, Chungnungpen Pathen chu adou ding chuleh amithengte jong abolgim ding ahi. Aman Pathen mithengte chonna dan holeh golnop ho khel ding angaito ding, chuleh amithengte jouse athunoija kumkhat, kumni chuleh kumkeh khat aumsah ding’a kipedoh ding ahi, atipeh e.
26 But the judge will be seated, and they will put an end to his authority, to overcome it and send complete destruction on it.
Amavang chutahleh, thutanna inpia thutanpa hung pansa-a, thu adih’a ahin tanding, chuleh lengpa thuneina chengse kilah peh’a chuleh kisumang hel ding ahi.
27 And the kingdom and the authority and the power of the kingdoms under all the heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all powers will be his servants and do his pleasure.
Chuteng vannoi lenggam ho lengvaipohna, thaneina chuleh loupina jouse Chungnungpen Pathen mithengte kipedoh ding ahiuve. Mithengte lenggam chu atonsot’a umjing ding chuleh amaho chu Pathen lhacha-a pang’uva chuleh athua nungdiu ahi, ati.
28 Here is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, I was greatly troubled by my thoughts, and the colour went from my face: but I kept the thing in my heart.
Hicheng chu themgao thilmu ho kichaina ahitai. Chuleh Daniel keima vang kalung agim lheh jengin, chuleh kichat leh tijatnan kamel akikhello leuvin ahi. Ahivang in, hiche ho chu seidoh louvin, kalunggil’a kaching jing in, kakoiye,’’ ati.
