< Daniel 8 >

1 In yac aktolu ke pacl Belshazzar el tokosra, nga tuh liye aruruma se akluo.
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me previously.
2 In aruruma se inge, nga liye mu nga oasr in siti potyak lun Susa in acn Elam. Nga tu sisken Infacl Ulai,
And I saw in the vision, and when I looked, I was in the citadel of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
3 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.
Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one came up last.
4 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.
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand. But he did according to his will, and became great.
5 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.
As I was considering, look, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a prominent horn between his eyes.
6 Nani soko ah yume nwe yurin sheep mukul soko ma nga liye tu sisken infacl ah, ac atuyang nu sel ke kuiyal nufon.
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and rushed at him in the fury of his power.
7 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.
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he threw him down to the ground and trampled on him, and there was no one who could deliver the ram from his power.
8 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.
The male goat became very strong. But when he was strong, the large horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four prominent horns toward the four winds of heaven.
9 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.
Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.
10 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.
It grew so great that it reached to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.
11 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.
And it magnified itself, even against the Prince of the host; and it took away from him the daily sacrifice, and the place of his sanctuary was thrown down.
12 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.
The host was given over to it together with the daily sacrifice because of transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and kept prospering.
13 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?”
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled?"
14 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.”
He said to me, "To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be restored to its rightful state."
15 Nga srike in suk kalmen aruruma se inge, na in kitin pacl ah na sie ma su oana luman mwet se tume nu sik.
It came about when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it. And look, there stood before me someone who appeared to be a man.
16 Nga lohng sie pusra pangme liki Infacl Ulai ac fahk, “Gabriel, fahkak nu sel kalmen aruruma se el liye an.”
I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and called out and said, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."
17 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.”
So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was frightened, and fell prostrate. But he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision belongs to the time of the end."
18 Ke el kaskas ah, nga putati nu infohk uh ac nikinyula. Tusruk el sruokyuwi, ac tulokinyuyak,
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright.
19 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.
He said, "Look, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of wrath, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 “Sheep mukul soko kom liye ma koac lukwa oan kac ah, pa tokosrai lun Media ac Persia.
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Nani soko ah pa tokosrai lun Greece, ac koac soko ma kom tuh liye tume inmasrlon atronmutal ah pa tokosra se emeet uh.
The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 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.
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall arise out of his nation, but not with his power.
23 “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.
In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressions have reached their full measure, a rash and deceitful king shall arise.
24 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.
His power shall be great, but not by his own strength; and he shall cause terrible destruction, and shall succeed in whatever he does. And he shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 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.
Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper by his influence, and he shall be great in his own mind, and without warning he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be shattered, but not by human hands.
26 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.”
The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision because it refers to many days from now."
27 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.
I, Daniel, was overcome, and was ill for days. Then I rose up, and carried out the king's business. And I was astonished by the vision, but there was no one to explain it.
