Daniel 8
1 During the third year that Belshazzar was the King [of Babylonia], I had another vision.
In yac aktolu ke pacl Belshazzar el tokosra, nga tuh liye aruruma se akluo.
2 In that vision I was in Susa, the capital city of Elam Province. I was [standing] alongside the Ulai Canal.
In aruruma se inge, nga liye mu nga oasr in siti potyak lun Susa in acn Elam. Nga tu sisken Infacl Ulai,
3 I looked up and saw a ram that was standing alongside the canal. It had two [long] horns, but the newest one was longer than the other one.
ac nga liye soko sheep mukul sisken infacl ah, su oasr koac na loeloes lukwa kac. Koac soko ma sikyak tok tuh loes liki ma soko ma sikyak meet.
4 The ram butted/knocked away [with its horns] everything that was west and everything that was north and everything that was south of it. There were no [other] animals that were able to oppose it, and none that could rescue/save [other animals] from its power. The ram did whatever it wanted to do and became very powerful.
Ac nga liye sheep mukul soko ah sang koacl sinukin acn roto, epang, ac eir. Wangin kosro ku in tulokinilya, ku kaingkunla kuiyal. El oru na oana lungse lal, ac arulana orek funmwet.
5 While I was thinking [about what I had seen, in the vision] I saw a goat come from the west. It ran across the land so quickly, that [it seemed like] its feet did not touch the ground. This goat had one very large horn between its eyes.
Ke nga srike in suk kalmen ma se inge, na nani soko sasma tuku liki acn roto, upala mui lal ah oru nial tiana pusral acn uh. Oasr koac soko tume inmasrlon atronmutal ma arulana kalem.
6 It was very angry, and it ran [straight] toward the ram that I had seen [previously, the ram] that was standing alongside the canal.
Nani soko ah yume nwe yurin sheep mukul soko ma nga liye tu sisken infacl ah, ac atuyang nu sel ke kuiyal nufon.
7 The goat struck the ram furiously and broke off its two horns, with the result that the ram was unable [to defend itself]. [So] the goat knocked the ram down and trampled on it. No one could rescue the ram from the goat’s power.
Nga liye na ke el uni sheep mukul soko ah. Upala kasrkusrak lal, oru el atuyang nu kacl twe koteya koac lukwa ah. Wangin ku lun sheep mukul soko ah in lainul. Toloki el nu infohk uh ac futfutungyuki el, ac wangin sie su ku in molella.
8 The goat became very powerful. But when its power was very great, its horn was broken off. But four [other] large horns took its place. They each pointed in a different direction.
Nani soko ah yokyokelik na funmwet lal, tusruktu in pacl se na ma yokelik ku lal uh, na kaptelik koac soko kacl ah, na koac akosr sifilpa kapak aolla, ac kais soko koac inge foralik nu epang, eir, kutulap ac roto.
9 [Then] from one of those [large horns] appeared a little horn, which became very big, [and pointed] toward the south and [then] toward the east and [then] toward the beautiful land [of Israel].
Ac soko koac srisrik srunak liki soko sin koac akosr inge, su kuiyal fahsrelik nwe sun acn eir ac kutulap, ac sun pac Fulan Wuleang.
10 [The man who was represented by] that horn became very strong, with the result that he attacked some of the [soldiers of the] army of heaven, and (OR, meaning) the stars in the sky [which represented God’s people]. He threw some of them to the ground and trampled on them.
Kuiyal yokyokelik nwe ke na el ku pac in mweun lain un mwet mweun lun kusrao, ac mweuni pac itu uh ac sisla kutu selos nu fin fohk uh, ac longolosi.
11 He (defied/considered himself to be greater than) the leader of the army [of heaven], and prevented [priests from] offering sacrifices to him. He also (defiled the temple/caused the temple to become unholy).
Na koac srisrik soko ah oru nwe ke na el lain pac Fisrak lun un mwet mweun lun kusrao, ac tulokinya kisa ma orek nu sel ke len nukewa, ac aktaekyala Tempul uh.
12 Then God’s people allowed the [man who was represented by] that horn to control/rule them, with the result that they sinned by offering sacrifices to him. And he threw to the ground the [laws that contained the] true religion. Everything that he did was successful.
Mwet uh orekma koluk in Tempul, ac tila oru mwe kisa ma fal in orek we ke len nukewa uh, ac alu pwaye uh sisila. Koac srisrik soko ah orala nukewa ma el ke oru uh.
13 Then I heard two angels who were talking to each other. One of them asked, “How long will the things/events that were in this vision continue? How long will the man who rebels against God and causes [the temple] to be defiled be able to prevent [priests from] offering sacrifices? How long will he trample on the temple and on the armies of heaven?”
Na nga lohng sie lipufan uh siyuk sin sie pac, “Ma liyeyuk in aruruma se inge ac orek nwe ngac? Ma koluk lulap inge ac eisla acn sin orek kisa uh nwe ngac? Ac lolongyuki un mwet mweun lun kusrao ac Tempul uh nwe ngac?”
14 The other angel replied, “[It will continue] for 1,150 days. During all of that time, [people will not be permitted to offer sacrifices] in the morning or in the evening. After that, the temple will be purified.”
Ac nga lohng lipufan se ngia topuk ac fahk, “Ac orek ouinge ke len sie tausin siofok lumngaul, su orala pacl in kisa luo tausin tolfoko ke eku ac lotu, ma wangin kisa ac orek. Toko, na Tempul uh ac fah sifil akmutalyeyuk.”
15 While I, Daniel, was trying to understand what the vision meant, suddenly [an angel] who resembled a man stood/appeared in front of me.
Nga srike in suk kalmen aruruma se inge, na in kitin pacl ah na sie ma su oana luman mwet se tume nu sik.
16 And I heard a man call out from [the other side of] the Ulai Canal, saying, “Gabriel, explain to him the meaning of the vision [that he saw]!”
Nga lohng sie pusra pangme liki Infacl Ulai ac fahk, “Gabriel, fahkak nu sel kalmen aruruma se el liye an.”
17 So Gabriel came and stood beside me. I was very terrified, with the result that I fell onto the ground. But he said to me, “You human, it is necessary for you to understand that [the events that you saw in] the vision will occur [near] the time that [the world] will end.”
Na Gabriel el kaluku ac tu siskuk, na nga arulana sangengla ac putati nu infohk uh. El fahk nu sik, “Mwet sukawil, ne mwet se na pa kom, a nga ke in kalem sum kalmen aruruma uh. Aruruma sac fahkak ke saflaiyen faclu.”
18 While he was speaking, I fainted. I lay there, unconscious, with my face still on the ground. But Gabriel put his hand on me and lifted me up in order that I could stand again.
Ke el kaskas ah, nga putati nu infohk uh ac nikinyula. Tusruk el sruokyuwi, ac tulokinyuyak,
19 Then he said, “I [have come here to] tell you what will happen because of [God] being angry. These things will happen near the time when [the world] will end.
ac fahk, “Nga akkalemye nu sum ma ac sikyak ke sripen kasrkusrak lun God. Aruruma sac fahkak ke ma ac sikyak ke safla lun ma nukewa.
20 As for the ram with two horns that you saw, those horns [represent] the kingdoms of Media and Persia.
“Sheep mukul soko kom liye ma koac lukwa oan kac ah, pa tokosrai lun Media ac Persia.
21 The goat [that you saw represents] the kingdom of Greece, and the horn that appeared between its eyes [represents] its first king.
Nani soko ah pa tokosrai lun Greece, ac koac soko ma kom tuh liye tume inmasrlon atronmutal ah pa tokosra se emeet uh.
22 As for the four horns that grew after the first horn was broken off, they [represent] four kingdoms into which that first kingdom will be divided [after the first king dies]. Those four kingdoms will not be as strong/powerful as the first kingdom was.
Koac akosr ma kom tuh liye sikyak tukun koac soko meet ah kaptalik ah, kalmac pa ac fah kitakatelik mutunfacl lulap sac nu ke tokosrai akosr, su ac fah tia ku oana kuiyen tokosrai se meet ah.
23 The people [in those kingdoms] will become very wicked, with the result that it will be necessary for them to be punished. But near the time when those kingdoms will end, one of those kingdoms will have a king who will be very proud/defiant [IDM]. He will [also] be very fierce and very deceitful.
“Ke ac apkuran in safla pacl lun tokosrai akosr inge, ac koluk lalos uh arulana yokelik pwanang ac enenu in akkeokyeyuk elos, na ac fah oasr sie pac tokosra sikyak su ac arulana likkeke, kutasrik, ac akmas.
24 He will become very powerful, but it will not be because of what he himself does. He will terribly destroy things in many places, and he will succeed in doing everything that he wants to. He will get rid of [many] powerful men, and [also] some of God’s people.
Ku lal ac fah yokyokelik — tusruktu tia ke ku lal sifacna. Yohk ma el ac fah kunausla, ac ma nukewa el oru ac fah wo ouiyal kac. El ac fah pwanang mwet na yohk ku la in kunausyukla, ac mwet lun God uh ac musalla pac.
25 Because he is very cunning/clever, he will succeed by doing things that deceive many people. He will be proud of himself. He will destroy many people when they think that they are safe. He will also rebel against [God] [EUP], who is the greatest king. But [God] will destroy him, without the help [MTY] of any human being.
Ke sripen kutasrik ac orek fwacfa lal uh, el ac fah eis pac wo ouiya ke inkanek kikiap lal. El ac fah sifacna yukunul ke ma el oru, ac kunausla mwet puspis ke inkanek lukma lal. El ac lain pac Tokosra se ma fulat liki nukewa, tusruktu ac kunausyukla el, tuh tia ke ku lun mwet uh.
26 What you saw in the vision about [priests being prevented from making] sacrifices in the morning and in the evening, which [I] explained [to you], will surely happen. But [for the present time], do not reveal the vision [to others], because it will be many years before those things happen.”
Aruruma se kom tuh liye ke pacl in kisa in eku ac lotu ma aketeyuki nu sum ah, ac fah pwayena. Tusrktu mansis kom in tia srumun in pacl inge, mweyen ac fah akpwayeiyuk ke pacl na loes fahsru uh.”
27 Then I, Daniel, became weak, and I was sick for several days. Then I arose and [returned to] doing the work that the king [had given to me], but I was perplexed/confused about the vision, and I could not understand it.
Nga arulana toasrla ac mas ke len na pus. Na nga fah tukakek ac folokla nu ke orekma ma tokosra el pakiya nu sik, tusruktu nga fohs na ke aruruma sac, ac tia ku in etu kalmac.
