< Daniel 7 >

1 In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel, beheld, a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed, —then, the dream, he wrote, the sum of the matters, he told.
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 Daniel spake and said, I was looking, in my vision [which came] with the night, —when, lo! the four winds of the heavens, bursting forth upon 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 large wild beasts, coming up out of the sea, —diverse, one from another: —
Chuin twikhanglen twi lah’a kon chun, sahem li ahung potdoh'in, amaho chu akilou beihel, achom cheh ahiuve.
4 The foremost, like a lion, having, the wings of an eagle, —I looked until the wings thereof, were torn out, and it was lifted up from the earth, and, upon its feet, like a man, was it caused to stand, and, the heart of a man, 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, lo! another wild beast, a second, resembling a bear, and, on one side, was it raised up, with three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth, —and, thus, were they saying to it, Rise! devour 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 that, I was looking, and lo! another like a leopard, and it, had four wings of a bird upon its back, —and four heads, had the wild beast, and dominion, 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 that, I was looking in the visions of the night, when lo! a fourth wild beast, terrible and well-hipped and exceeding strong, and it had, large teeth of iron, it devoured and brake in pieces, and, the residue—with its feet, it trampled down, —and, it, was diverse from all the wild beasts that were 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 considering the horns, when lo! another horn, a little one, came up among them, and, three of the former horns, were uprooted from before it, —and lo! eyes, like the eyes of a man, in this horn, and, a mouth, speaking 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 continued looking, until that, thrones, were placed, and, the Ancient of days, took his seat, —whose, garment, like snow, was white, and, the hair of his head, like pure wool, his throne, was flames of fire, his wheels, a 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 on and issuing forth from before him, a thousand thousand, waited upon him and, ten thousand times ten thousand, before him, stood up, —Judgment, took its seat, and, books, were opened.
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 I continued looking, then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking, I continued looking, until that the wild beast, was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning of the 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 concerning the rest of the beasts, their dominion, was taken away, —but, a lengthening of life, was given to them, until time and season.
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 continued looking in the visions of the night, when lo! with the clouds of the heavens, one like a son of man, was coming, —and, unto the Ancient of days, he approached, and, before him, they brought him near;
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, unto him, were given dominion and dignity and kingship, that all peoples, races and tongues, unto him, should do service, —his dominion, was an age-abiding dominion, which should not pass away, and, his kingdom, that which should not be destroyed.
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 The spirit of, me, Daniel, was grieved in the midst of the sheath, —and, the visions of my head, terrified me.
Keima, Daniel Kitipa hi, kamang a kathilmu hochun kalung asuboi alheh in, chuleh gaova kathilmu chengse chun eisukicha jeng in ahi.
16 I drew near unto one of them who stood by, and made exact enquiry of him, concerning all this, —so he told me, and, the interpretation of the things, made he known unto me.
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 wild beasts, which are four, —are four kings who shall arise out of the earth;
Hiche sahem li hohi, khonung’a leiset chung’a hung leng chang ding leng li ho vetsahna ahiuve.
18 but the holy ones of the Highest, shall receive the kingdom, —and shall possess the kingdom for the age, yea for the age of ages.
Amavang ninunung nileh, Chungnungpen Pathen mithengte khut’a, alenggam’u chu kipedoh’a, amahon atonsot’a lengvai apoh ding’u ahi tai.
19 Then desired I to be sure, concerning the fourth wild beast, which was diverse from all of them, —exceeding terrible, whose, teeth, were iron, and, his claws, of bronze, he devoured, brake in pieces, and, the residue—with his feet, he trampled down;
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 also concerning the ten horns, which were in his head, and the other, which came up, and there fell—from among them that were before it—three, —and this horn which had, eyes, and, a mouth, speaking great things, and, his look, was more proud than his fellows:
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 I continued looking, when, this horn, made war with the holy ones, —and prevailed against 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 until that the Ancient of Days, came, and, justice, was granted to the holy ones of the Highest, —and, the time, arrived, that the holy ones should possess, 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 Thus, he said, The fourth wild beast, is a fourth kingdom which shall be in the earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, —and shall devour all the earth, and shall trample it down, and break it in pieces.
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, the ten horns of that kingdom, are ten kings who will arise, —and, another, will arise after them, and, he, will be diverse from the former ones, and, three kings, will he cast down;
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, words against the Most High, will he speak, and, the holy ones of the Highest, will he afflict, —and will hope to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand, for a season and seasons and the dividing of a season,
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, Judgment, will take its seat, —and, his dominion, will they take away, to destroy and make disappear unto an end.
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 dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under all the heavens, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Highest, —his kingdom, is an age-abiding kingdom, and, all the dominions, unto him, will render service, and show themselves obedient.
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 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, greatly did my thoughts terrify me, and, my bright looks, were changed upon me, but, the matter—in mine own heart, I kept.
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.
