< Daniel 12 >

1 [The angel also said to me, ] “After those things happen, the great angel Michael, who protects the [Israeli] people, will appear. Then there will be a time when there will be great troubles/suffering. The troubles will be greater than any troubles/suffering since the nations began. At that time, all of your people whose names have been written in the book [containing the names of those who have eternal life] will be saved.
Te vaeng tue ah mangpa puei Michael pai vetih na pilnam paca te a pai puei ni. Namtom a om lamloh te vaeng tue hil aka om noek pawh citcai tue om ni. Tedae na pilnam khaw cabu dongah daek tangtae a hmuh boeih tah te khohnin ah loeih ni.
2 Many of those who have died [EUP] will become alive again. Some of them will live eternally [with God], and some will be eternally shamed/disgraced [in hell]. (questioned)
Diklai laipi la aka ip muelh khuikah khaw muep haenghang uh vetih a ngen rhoek te kumhal hingnah khuila, a ngen tah dungyan koletnah neh kokhahnah khuila om ni.
3 Those who were wise will shine as brightly as the sky [is bright when the sun is shining]. And those who have shown to others the way to live righteously will shine forever, like the stars [SIM].
Te vaengah lungming rhoek tah bangyai khophaa bangla sae vetih muep aka tang sak tah aisi bangla kumhal due om yoeyah ni.
4 But as for you, Daniel, close up the scroll [on which you are writing], and seal it [in order that no one can open it] until the end [of the world] is near. [Before that happens, ] many people will travel rapidly here and there, learning more and more [about many things].”
Tedae Daniel nang loh a bawtnah tue hil ol he khoem lamtah cabu he catui hnah thil. Muep van thikthuek uh vetih mingnah khaw ping ni.
5 When [that angel finished speaking], I, Daniel, looked up, and suddenly I saw two other [angels]. One was standing on the side of the river [where I was], and one was standing on the other side.
Kai Daniel loh ka sawt vaengah, a tloe rhoi tah he kah sokko tuikaeng kah pakhat, ke kah sokko tuikaeng ah pakhat tarha pai rhoi.
6 One of them [called to] the other one, who was wearing linen/white clothes, who was now standing further up (OR, above) the river, “How long will it be until these amazing/frightening events end?”
Te vaengah sokko tui sokah takhlawk pueinak aka bai hlang te, “Khobaerhambae a bawtnah me hil lae?” a ti nah.
7 The angel who was on the other side of (OR, above) the river raised his hands toward the sky, and solemnly promised, with the authority [MTY] of God, who lives forever, “It will be three and a half years. All these things will end after God’s people stop fighting against those who (persecute/cause trouble for/cause suffering for) them.”
Ka yaak vaengah sokko tui so ah takhlawk pueinak aka bai hlang te khaw a banvoei bantang te vaan la a thueng tih, tingtunnah khoning loengboeng vaengah a boek ham, pilnam cim kah kut a phop vaengah te te boeih a khah ham khaw kumhal kah hingnah neh a toemngam coeng.
8 I heard [what he said], but I did not understand it. So I asked, “Sir, what will be the result when these things end?”
Ka yaak dae ka yakming pawt dongah ka Boeipa te, “A bawtnah he balae?” ka ti nah.
9 He replied, “Daniel, you must leave now. [I cannot answer your question] because what it means must (be kept secret/not be revealed) [DOU] until the time when everything ends.
Te dongah, “Daniel cet laeh, a bawtnah tue hil ol he khoem lamtah catui hnah thil.
10 Many people will thoroughly purify their inner beings [DOU]. But wicked people will not understand these things. They will continue to be wicked. Only those who are wise will understand [these things].
A meet uh vetih a ngo uh phoeiah muep a picai uh ni. Halang rhoek tah boe uh vetih a halang boeih te yakming uh mahpawh. Tedae lungming rhoek loh a yakming uh ni.
11 [But I can tell you that before everything ends, ] there will be 1,290 days, from the time that people are prevented from offering sacrifices each day, that is, from the time that the abominable/disgusting thing is put in the temple.
Sainoek a khoe tue lamloh aka pong rhoek kah sarhingkoi a khueh hil te khohnin la thawngkhat yahnih sawmko lo.
12 God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
Khohnin thawngkhat ya thum sawmthum panga a cup hil aka rhing tah a yoethen.
13 So [now I say] to you, continue to faithfully [trust God] until [your life on earth] ends. You will die [EUP], but when everything ends, you will receive your reward [from God].”
Tedae nang tah a bawtnah hil cet lamtah na duem bitni. Khohnin a bawtnah dongah tah na hmulung dongah na pai bitni,” a ti.
