< Daniel 8 >

1 In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision, appeared unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the beginning.
Belshezzar lengpa, lengvaipoh kal kumthum lhin kum in, themgao thilmua mu kana nei masat jou chun, Daniel keiman avel in gaovin mu kanei kit’e.
2 So then I saw, in the vision, and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was in Shusan the fortress, which is in Persia the province, —yea I saw it in a vision, when, I, was by the river Ulai.
Hiche kathilmuna-a chun, Elam gamkai sung’a khopi lentah Susa kulpi sung’a, Keima kana um e, chuleh Ulai vadung pam’a keima kana ding’e.
3 So then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and lo! a ram, standing before the river, and, it, had two horns, —and, the two horns, were high, but, the one, was higher than the other, and, the higher, had come up, last.
Hichun ka khodah in kavet leh, vadung pang’a chun kelngoichal khat adin kamui. Aki ni aneiyin, akiteni chu asao cheh in ahi. Aki khat chu khat joh sang’a hung dondoh nukhah ahivang in akhang khang in asaojoi.
4 I saw the ram, pushing strongly westward and northward and southward, so that no wild beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand, —but he did according to his own pleasure, and shewed himself great.
Kelngoichal chun alampi’a umtapou chu adel khumin, lhumlam’a um, sahlam’a um, chuleh lhanglam’a umho, abonin anomang in, ama masang’a koima chu apangjou aumpoi. Chuleh ama thahatna-a kon’a mi ga huhdoh ding jong aum pon, aman adei dei abolin chuleh ama leh ama loupitah in aki choisang tai.
5 Now, I, was observing, when lo! a he-goat, coming in out of the west, over the face of all the earth, but it meddled not with the earth, —and, the goat, had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
Hitia kavet pet chun, lhumlam’a konin kelchal khat ahung doh in, tol tongkha louvin, mangang tah in gam leiset chung ahin jot galkaiyin ahi. Hiche kelchal hin amit teni kah’a ki lentah khat seh aneiye.
6 So then he came up to the ram having the two horns, which I had seen, standing before the river, —and ran unto him, in the fury of his strength.
Hiche kelchal hin, vadung pam’a adin kanamui kelngoi chal, ki ni nei chu, ahin jonin lunghang tah in, athanei su in adel khum jeng in ahi.
7 Yea I saw him coming close upon the ram, and he was enraged at him, and smote the ram, and brake in pieces both his horns, and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, —but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled him underfoot, and there was none could deliver the ram out of his power.
Kelchal chun lunghang tah a kelngoi chal chu akitapi jeng in ahileh, kelngoichal ki teni chu atatbong tai. Kelngoichal chu kelchal masang’a apangjou tapoi. Kelchal chun kelngoichal chu tol suhnan aneiyin, chuleh akengin achil tan ahi. Kelchal thahatna-a kon chun kelngoichal chu koimacha ahuh doh ding aum tapoi.
8 But, the he-goat, shewed himself very great, —and, when he had become mighty, the great horn, was broken in pieces, and there came up afterwards four, in its stead, towards the four winds of the heavens;
Kelchal chu ahung thahat lheh jeng tai. Ahivang in, hitia ahatpet tah chun, aki lentah khatseh anei chu abongtan ahi. Hiche ki lentah umna mun’a chun, ki loupitah li ahung dondoh kit in, hiche ho chun leiset ningli lam anga cheh’un, akhang khang tauve.
9 and, out of the first of them, came forth a little horn, —which became exceedingly great, against the south and against the east, and against the beautiful [land];
Chuin ki li ho lah’a, ki khat pen’a kon chun, ki neokhat ahung dondoh kit in, hiche ki chu athahat lheh jeng in, athaneina chu lhanglam ngan, solam ngan chuleh Israel gam loupi ngan, akhang khang in anasa lheh jeng tai.
10 yea it became great as far as the host of the heavens, —and caused to fall, to the earth, some of the host and some of the stars, and trampled them underfoot;
Chuin athahat cheh chehin, van geijin athahatna chu akhangdoh tai. Hiche saki chun van thuneina geijin adoutan, van’a um ahsi phabep jong ahinpih lhan, akengin tol’ah achilgoiyin ahi.
11 even as far as the ruler of the host, shewed he his greatness, —and, because of him, was taken away the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and the place of the sanctuary, was cast down;
Chuin kiloupi sahtah in, van sepai lamkai pipu jong chu adoutan, niseh’a maicham thilto tang louva hung kitohho jong akilah in, chuleh maicham muntheng hojong abonin asumang tan ahi.
12 and, a host, was set over the continual [ascending-sacrifice], by transgression, —and faithfulness, was cast down, to the ground, and so he acted with effect, and succeeded.
Hiche doubolpa chung’a lethuhlou na dingin, van sepai hochu akikang seuvin ahi. Hiche jeh chun, niseh’a maicham’a thil hung kitoh ho jouse atang tan, ama khut’a akipedoh tai. Hitichun saki chu ahatlheh jeng in, chuleh amachal lheh jeng in, thutah jeng jong tol’ah chotphan aum tai.
13 Then heard I a certain holy one, speaking, —and another holy one said to that certain holy one who was speaking—How long is the vision of the continual [ascending-sacrifice] as taken away, and the transgression which astoundeth, for both sanctuary and host to be given over to be trampled underfoot?
Chuin keiman mitheng mini kihouna chu kajan, mitheng khatpa chunk hat johpa heng’a chun aseijin, Themgao thilmua kimu hohi itih chan geija hitia um ding ham? Hiche doubol pan, niseh’a maicham thilto kitohho hi asuhtang’a, itih chan geija ahomkeova akoi ding ham? Chuleh itihchan geija chu, muntheng leh van sepai ho chu kengto chotpha-a um ding hiuvem? tin adong’e.
14 And he said unto him, Until two thousand and three hundred evening-mornings, —then shall the sanctuary, be vindicated.
Hichun khatpan adonbut in,’’Nilhah leh jingkah sangnile jathum sunghi hitia um ding ahin, chujou tengleh muntheng chu aumna ding dol’a avel’a kisempha kit ding ahi,’’ atipeh e.
15 And it came to pass, when, I Daniel, had seen the vision, —and had sought discernment, that lo! there was standing before me, as the appearance of a man.
Daniel keiman, hiche themgao thilmua mu kanei chu, ipi kiseina ham ahi kahetchen nomlheh in, kagel gelin; Hichepet chun, mihem lim tobang mikhat kamasanga ahung ding in,
16 Then heard I a human voice, between [the banks of] the Ulai, —which cried out, and said, Gabriel! cause this man to understand the revelation.
Chuin keiman, Ulai vadunga kon’a hung kikou mihem awgin khat kajan, hichun, “Gabriel, hiche mipa hi, themgao thilmua kivetsah chengse hi, ipi kiseina ham seipeh in” ati.
17 So he came near where I stood, and, when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face, —but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man, that, to the time of the end, belongeth the vision.
Chuin Gabriel chun, kadinna mun ahin naijin ahileh katija behseh jengin, kamai tol’a sulutin ka bohkhup tai. Hichun aman kajah’a, “Vo mihem chapa, hiche themgao thilmua namuho chengse hi, phat kichai nading thudol ahi, hethemin, geltohin,” ati.
18 And, when he spake with me, I fell stunned upon my face, to the earth, —but he touched me, and caused me to stand up where I was.
19 Then said he, Behold me! causing thee to know, that which shall come to pass in the afterpart of the indignation, —for, at an appointed time, shall be an end.
Chuin aman kajah’a, Lunghanna phat nunung lamleh, ipi hungsoh ding ham, ti naheng’a seipeh ding’a, keima hikom’a um kahi. Nangman na thilmu chengse hi, phat kichai ding chu ahilchen ahi.
20 The ram which thou sawest, having the two horns, representeth the kings of Media and Persia;
Nangman namu ki ni neija kelngoichal chu, Media lengpa leh Pesia lengpa ahi lhon’e.
21 and, the he-goat, is the king of Greece, —and, the great horn which was between his eyes, the same, is the first king.
Chuleh kelchal chu Greek lengpa vetsahna ahin, amit teni kah’a ki lentah khat chu, Greek leng masapen chu ahi tai.
22 Now, as for its being broken in pieces, whereupon there stood up four in its stead, four kingdoms, out of his nation, shall stand up, but not with his strength;
Akilentah aboh jouva, aumna mun’a, ki adang litah ahung dondoh jeng bang’a chu, Greek lenggam chu kehli kisoa, lenggam li tah umdoh ding ahi. Hijong leh, lenggam masapen bang’a loupi umlou ding ahiuve.
23 but, in the aftertime of their kingdom, when transgressions, have filled up their measure, —there will stand up a king of mighty presence, and skilful in dissimulation;
Amaho lengvaipoh phat kichai konleh, achonsetnau asanval behseh jeh chun, alah uva kon’in, duha themtah leh ginneilou leng khat hung lendoh ding ahi.
24 and his strength, will be mighty, but not through his own strength, and, wonderfully, will he destroy, and succeed and act with effect, —and will destroy mighty ones, and the people of holy ones;
25 and, by his cunning, will he both cause deceit to succeed in his hand, and, in his own heart, will he shew himself to be great, and, by their careless security, will he destroy many, —and, against the ruler of rulers, will he stand up, but, without hand, shall be broken in pieces.
Duha thuh leh lheplhah them bulpi ahitoh lhon’a, gilou tah’a hung lendoh ding, chuleh mi tamtah gihsalna beiya asuhmang ding ahi. Aman leng chapate leh milen milalte geija gal abolkhum ding, amavang, akhonna leh mihem khut thahat pang louva amahi kisuchip ding ahi.
26 Now, the revelation of the evening and the morning which hath been told, faithful, indeed it is, —but, thou, close up the vision, because it is for many days.
Hichea themgao thilmua namu nilhah leh jingkah sangni leh jathum hilchenna thuhi, adihtah mong mong ahi. Amavang, hiche gaothuhi, nikho sotpi nung’a hungsoh ding ahijeh'in, Mohor namkhum inlang, thuguh in koi tan.
27 Now, as for me Daniel, then was I sick for days, but I arose and did the business of the king, —and, though I was confounded concerning the revelation, yet could no one discern it.
Chuin Daniel keima tah hi, katija behseh jengin, nikho tampi kadammo lotan ahi. Chujouvin, ka thouvin lengpa kin lhacha natong din in k che tai. Ahivangin, ka thilmu ho chengse chu ka hethem theihih beh jengin chuleh ka lung ahesoh sahlheh jengin ahi.
