< Daniel 8 >
1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, I, Daniel, had a vision appear to me (after the one that appeared to me at first).
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 I saw in the vision, as I was looking, that I was in the fortress of Susa in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal.
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 I looked up and saw before me a ram with two horns, standing beside the canal. One horn was longer than the other, but the longer one grew more slowly than the shorter and was passed up in length by it.
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 charging west, then north, and then south; no other animal could stand before him. None of them was able to rescue anyone out of his hand. He did whatever he wanted, and he became 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 As I was thinking about this, I saw a male goat come from the west, who went across the surface of the whole earth, running fast, not seeming to touch the ground. The goat had a large 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 He came to the ram who had two horns—I had seen the ram standing on the bank of the canal—and the goat ran toward the ram in a powerful rage.
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 I saw the goat come close to the ram. He was very angry at the ram, and he hit the ram and broke off its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand before him. The goat knocked him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could rescue the ram from 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 Then the goat became very large. But when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in its place four other large horns grew up that pointed toward 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 Out of one of them grew another horn, little at first, but which became very large in the south, in the east, and in the land of beauty.
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 It became so large as to engage in war with the army of heaven. Some of that army and some of the stars were thrown down to the earth, and it trampled on them.
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 It made itself to be as great as the commander of the army. It took away from him the regular burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was polluted.
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 Because of rebellion, the army will be given over to the goat's horn, and the burnt offering will be stopped. The horn will throw truth down to the ground, and it will succeed in what it does.
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 I heard a holy one speaking and another holy one answering him, “How long will these things last, this vision about the burnt offering, the sin that brings destruction, the handing over of the sanctuary, and heaven's army being trampled on?”
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 He said to me, “It will last for 2,300 evenings and mornings. After that the sanctuary will be put right.”
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 When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I tried to understand it. Then there stood before me one who looked like 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 I heard a man's voice calling between the banks of the Ulai Canal. He said, “Gabriel, help this man understand the vision.”
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. When he came, I was frightened and prostrated myself on the ground. He said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.”
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 When he spoke to me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and made me stand up.
19 He said, “See, I will show you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time for the 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 As for the ram you saw, the one that had two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Nangman namu ki ni neija kelngoichal chu, Media lengpa leh Pesia lengpa ahi lhon’e.
21 The male goat is the king of Greece. The large horn between his eyes 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 As for the horn that was broken, in the place of which four others arose—four kingdoms will arise from his nation, but not with his great power.
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 At the latter time of those kingdoms, when the transgressors shall have reached their limit, a grim-faced king, one who is very intelligent, will arise.
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 His power will be great—but not by his own power. He will be amazing in what he destroys; he will act and succeed. He will destroy powerful people, people among the holy ones.
25 By his craftiness he will make deceit prosper under his hand. He will become great in his own mind. He will unexpectedly destroy many people. He will even rise up against the King of kings, and he will be broken, but not by any human hand.
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 The vision about the evenings and mornings that has been told is true. But seal up the vision, for it refers to many days in the future.”
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 Then I, Daniel, was overcome and lay weak for several days. Then I got up, and went about the king's business. But I was appalled by the vision, and there was no one who understood 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.
