Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and a vision in his head on his bed. And, writing down the dream, he understood it in a concise manner, and so, summarizing it tersely, he said:
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,
2 I saw in my vision at night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens fought upon the great sea.
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.
3 And four great beasts, different from one another, ascended from the sea.
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.
4 The first was like a lioness and had the wings of an eagle. I watched as its wings were plucked off, and it was raised from the earth and stood on its feet like a man, and the heart of a man was given to it.
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,
5 And behold, another beast, like a bear, stood to one side, and there were three rows in its mouth and in its teeth, and they spoke to it in this way: “Arise, devour much flesh.”
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.
6 After this, I watched, and behold, another like a leopard, and it had wings like a bird, four upon it, and four heads were on the beast, and power was given to it.
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.
7 After this, I watched in the vision of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible yet wondrous, and exceedingly strong; it had great iron teeth, eating yet crushing, and trampling down the remainder with his feet, but it was unlike the other beasts, which I had seen before it, and it had ten horns.
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.
8 I considered the horns, and behold, another little horn rose out of the midst of them. And three of the first horns were rooted out by its presence. And behold, eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking unnatural things.
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.
9 I watched until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of days sat down. His garment was radiant like snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool; his throne was flames of fire, its wheels had been set on fire.
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.
10 A river of fire rushed forth from his presence. Thousands upon thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times hundreds of thousands attended before him. The trial began, and the books were opened.
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.
11 I watched because of the voice of the great words which that horn was speaking, and I saw that the beast had been destroyed, and its body was ruined and had been handed over to be burnt with fire.
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.
12 Likewise, the power of the other beasts was taken away, and a limited time of life was appointed to them, until one time and another.
Alouke sarang teh uknaeram kâ tawn awh hoeh eiteh, atueng khoe e a pha hoehnahlan totouh a hring awh.
13 I watched, therefore, in the vision of the night, and behold, with the clouds of heaven, one like a son of man arrived, and he approached all the way to the Ancient of days, and they presented him before him.
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.
14 And he gave him power, and honor, and the kingdom, and all peoples, tribes, and languages will serve him. His power is an eternal power, which will not be taken away, and his kingdom, one which will not be corrupted.
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.
15 My spirit was terrified. I, Daniel, was fearful at these things, and the visions of my head disturbed me.
Kai Daniel teh hote vision ni ka lungthin dawk runae na poe teh, ka muitha teh a cingou.
16 I approached one of the attendants and asked the truth from him about all these things. He told me the interpretation of the words, and he instructed me:
Ateng kangdout e buet touh koe ka cei teh, atu e ka hmu e naw hah bangtelamaw telah ka pacei.
17 “These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which will rise from the earth.
Ahni ni hete sarang pali touh teh talai van ka tâcawt hane ram pali touh hah doeh.
18 Yet it is the saints of the Most High God who will receive the kingdom, and they will hold the kingdom from this generation, and forever and ever.”
Hatei, a lathueng poung e Cathut e tami kathoungnaw ni hote uknaeram coe awh vaiteh, a yungyoe a pang awh han telah atipouh.
19 After this, I wanted to learn diligently about the fourth beast, which was very different from all, and exceedingly terrible; his teeth and claws were of iron; he devoured and crushed, and the remainder he trampled with his feet;
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,
20 and about the ten horns, which he had on his head, and about the other, which had sprung up, before which three horns fell, and about that horn which had eyes and a mouth speaking great things, and which was more powerful than the rest.
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.
21 I watched, and behold, that horn made war against the holy ones and prevailed over them,
Ka khet lahun navah, a kum kacue e buet touh a tho teh,
22 until the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the holy ones of the Supreme One, and the time arrived, and the holy ones obtained the kingdom.
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.
23 And thus he said, “The fourth beast will be the fourth kingdom on earth, which will be greater than all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will trample and crush it.
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.
24 Moreover, the ten horns of the same kingdom will be ten kings, and another will rise up after them, and he will be mightier than the ones before him, and he will bring down three kings.
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.
25 And he will speak words against the Supreme One, and will exhaust the holy ones of the Most High, and he will think about what it would take to change the times and the laws, and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time.
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.
26 And a trial will begin, so that his power may be taken away, and be crushed, and be undone all the way to the end.
Hathnukkhu lawkcengnae ao han. Hattoteh kâ a tawnnae takhoe pouh lah awm vaiteh, khoeroe raphoe lah ao han.
27 Yet the kingdom, and the power, and the greatness of that kingdom, which is under all of heaven, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings will serve and obey him.”
Kalvan rahim kâtawnnae, uknaeram, hoi lentoenae naw teh, a Lathueng Poung e Cathut e a tami kathoungnaw koe uknaeram poe lah ao han.
28 And here is the end of the message. I, Daniel, was greatly disturbed by my thoughts, and my mood was changed in me, but I preserved the message in my heart.
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.
