Daniel 8
1 In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign I, Daniel, saw another vision after the one I had seen previously.
Siangpahrang Belshazzar a bawinae a kum pâthum nah, kai koe vision a kamnue. Kai Daniel koe ahmaloe a kamnue hnukkhu bout a kamnue.
2 In my vision I looked around and saw I was in the castle at Susa in the province of Elam. In the vision I was beside the River Ulai.
Elam ram Shushan siangpahrang im, Ulai palang teng ka o navah vision teh a kamnue.
3 I looked around and saw a ram standing beside the river. It had two long horns, one longer than the other, even though the longer one had grown last.
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.
4 I watched the ram charging west, north, and south. No animal could stand up to it—nor was there any chance of rescue from its power. It did whatever it wanted and grew powerful.
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.
5 As I was thinking about what I'd seen, a male goat came in from the west, racing in across the surface of the earth so fast it didn't touch the ground. It had a large, prominent horn between its eyes.
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.
6 It approached the ram with the two horns which I had seen standing beside the river, rushing in to attack in a furious rage.
Ki kahni touh ka tawn ni teh palang namran lah kaawm e tutan aonae koe, puenghoi a yawng teh,
7 I watched as the goat charged furiously at the ram, hitting it and breaking off its two horns. The ram did not have the strength to resist the goat's attack. The goat threw the ram to the ground, trampling on it, and there was no possibility of rescuing it from the goat's power.
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.
8 The goat grew very powerful, but at the height of its power its large horn was broken off. In its place four large horns came up, pointing to the four winds of heaven.
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.
9 A little horn came up from one of them, and grew extremely powerful to the south and to the east and to the Beautiful Land.
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.
10 It grew in power until it reached the heavenly army, throwing some of them and some of the stars down to the earth and trampled on them.
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.
11 It even tried to make itself as great as the Prince of the heavenly army—it removed the continual service, and the place of his sanctuary was destroyed.
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.
12 An army of people and the continual service were handed over to it because of rebellion, and it overthrew truth, and it was successful in everything it did.
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.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one asked the one who was speaking, “How long is this vision for—the removal of the continual service, the rebellion that causes devastation, the handing over of the sanctuary and the army of people to be trampled down?”
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.
14 He replied, “For two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings, then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
Ahmaloe e ka dei e ni, hnin 2300 totouh a ro han. Hathnukkhu, kathounge bawkim hah bout a pâsu awh han atipouh.
15 As I, Daniel, tried to work out what this vision meant suddenly I saw someone who looked like a man standing in front of me.
Kai Daniel ni vision ka hmu e hah panue hanelah, kâyawm lahun nah tami hoi kâvan e buet touh ka hmalah a kangdue.
16 I also heard a human voice calling from the River Ulai, “Gabriel, explain to this man the meaning of the vision.”
Hatnavah, Ulai palang koehoi tami e lawk ni, Gabriel hete tami koe vision deingainae hah dei pouh haw, tie lawk ka thai.
17 As he approached me, I was terrified and fell face down before him. “Son of man,” he told me, “You need to understand that this vision refers to the time of the end.”
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.
18 As he spoke to me I lost consciousness as I laid face down on the ground. But he took hold of me and helped me to my feet.
Hottelah, a dei lahunnah talai dawk mat ka i. Ahni ni a kut hoi na tek teh, na kangdue sak.
19 He told me, “Pay attention! I'm going to explain to you what's going to happen during the time of anger, which refers to the appointed time of the end.
Ahni ni, lungkhueknae atueng, apoutnae koe lah kaawm hane naw hah bout ka dei han rah. Bangkongtetpawiteh, atueng khoe e dawk poutnae kaawm han.
20 The ram with two horns that you saw symbolizes the kings of Media and Persia.
Ki hra touh ka tawn e tutan teh Media siangpahrang doeh.
21 The male goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is its first king.
Hmaetan teh Grik uknaeram doeh. Mit rahak ka cawn e ki hateh, ahmaloe e siangpahrang doeh.
22 The four horns that came up in place of the large horn that was broken represent the four kingdoms that arose from that nation, but not as powerful as the first.
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.
23 When those kingdoms come to an end, when their sins have reached their fullest extent, a ferocious and treacherous kingdom will rise to power.
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.
24 It will become very powerful but not by its own power. It will be terribly destructive, and will succeed in everything it does. It will destroy great leaders and God's dedicated people.
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.
25 Through its deviousness, its lies will be convincing and successful. It shows its arrogance both in thought and action, destroying those who thought they were perfectly safe. It even fights in opposition against the Prince of princes, but it will be defeated, though not by any human power.
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.
26 The vision about the evenings and mornings that has been explained to you is true, but for now seal up this vision because it refers to the distant future.”
Nang koe na poe e amom hoi tangmin e vision teh, ahman dawkvah tacikkin loe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ato hmalah torei a kuep han.
27 After this, I, Daniel, became exhausted, and I was sick for days. Then I got up and went back to working for the king, but I was devastated at what I'd seen in vision and I couldn't understand it.
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.
