< Daniel 11 >

1 Kai khaw Mede Darius kah a kum khat dongah tah anih taengah lunghim la om ham neh moem hamla kai m'pai sak.
'And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, my standing [is] for a strengthener, and for a stronghold to him;
2 Te dongah nang taengah oltak kan thui coeng. Persia ah manghai pathum phoe pueng vetih a pali tah amih boeih lakah a len la khuehtawn neh boei ni ne. Te vaengah a thadueng neh a khuehtawn loh Javan ram pum te a haeng ni.
and, now, truth I declare to thee, Lo, yet three kings are standing for Persia, and the fourth doth become far richer than all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirreth up the whole, with the kingdom of Javan.
3 Manghai hlangrhalh a pai vaengah ukkung boeiping la a taemrhai vetih a kolonah bangla a saii ni.
And a mighty king hath stood, and he hath ruled a great dominion, and hath done according to his will;
4 Anih a pai neh a ram te rhek vetih vaan khohli pali taengla a haeh ni. A hmailong te khui pawt vetih a taemrhai ham tluk mahpawh. A ram te a phong pah vetih te rhoek bal lakah a tloe taengla a paek ni.
and according to his standing is his kingdom broken, and divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom is plucked up — and for others apart from these.
5 Tuithim manghai khaw moem uh suidae a mangpa rhoek lamlong khaw anih lakah moem uh vetih a khohung te ukkung boeiping loh a taemrhai ni.
'And a king of the south — even of his princes — doth become strong, and doth prevail against him, and hath ruled; a great dominion [is] his dominion.
6 Kum a thoknah dongah tah patai uh thae vetih tuithim manghai canu rhoek loh vanat la saii hamla tlangpuei manghai te a paan ni. Tedae a ban thaa ueh pawt vetih cak mahpawh. A ban khaw a puei taengah a paek vetih anih aka sa neh anih aka moem rhoek khaw hnin at dongah hma ni.
'And at the end of years they do join themselves together, and a daughter of the king of the south doth come in unto the king of the north to do upright things; and she doth not retain the power of the arm; and he doth not stand, nor his arm; and she is given up, she, and those bringing her in, and her child, and he who is strengthening her in [these] times.
7 A kho ah a yung a pae te cawn vetih tatthai te a paan ni. Tlangpuei manghai kah lunghim khuila kun vetih amih a saii nen te moem uh ni.
'And [one] hath stood up from a branch of her roots, [in] his station, and he cometh in unto the bulwark, yea, he cometh into a stronghold of the king of the south, and hath wrought against them, and hath done mightily;
8 Amih kah pathen rhoek khaw, a boeimang neh, a sahnaih hnopai neh, cak neh sui khaw Egypt loh tamna la a khuen ni. Te daengah ni anih te kum a yet tlangpuei manghai taengah a pai eh.
and also their gods, with their princes, with their desirable vessels of silver and gold, into captivity he bringeth [into] Egypt; and he doth stand more years than the king of the north.
9 Te phoeiah tuithim manghai kah ram te a muk suidae amah kho la mael ni.
'And the king of the south hath come into the kingdom, and turned back unto his own land;
10 A ca rhoek neh a ca rhoek tah huek uh tih tatthai hlangping la muep tingtun uh ni. Te vaengah pakhat te kun rhoe kun vetih a yo phoeiah a poeng ni. A mael vaengah khaw huek uh vetih a lunghim, a lunghim duela huek uh ni.
and his sons stir themselves up, and have gathered a multitude of great forces, and he hath certainly come in, and overflowed, and passed through, and he turneth back, and they stir themselves up unto his stronghold.
11 Tuithim manghai te pae vetih a paan ni. Anih taengah tlangpuei manghai neh a vathoh vetih hlangping neh muep a pai thil ni. Tedae hlangping te anih kut ah ni a paek eh.
And the king of the south doth become embittered, and hath gone forth and fought with him, with the king of the north, and hath caused a great multitude to stand, and the multitude hath been given into his hand,
12 Hlangping a khuen vaengah a thinko te a pomsang la a pomsang ni. Tedae thawngrha a cungku sak akhaw tanglue mahpawh.
and he hath carried away the multitude, his heart is high, and he hath caused myriads to fall, and he doth not become strong.
13 Tlangpuei manghai te mael vetih lamhma kah pilnu hlangping la pai ni. Kum tue a bawtnah dongah tah tatthai pilnu neh, khuehtawn boeiping neh pai rhoe pai ni.
'And the king of the north hath turned back, and hath caused a multitude to stand, greater than the first, and at the end of the times a second time he doth certainly come in with a great force, and with much substance;
14 Te vaeng tue ah tuithim manghai te muep a pai thil uh vetih mangthui phoe sak hamla na pilnam kah dingca ca a phueih suidae paloe uh ni.
and in those times many do stand up against the king of the south, and sons of the destroyers of thy people do lift themselves up to establish the vision — and they have stumbled.
15 Te phoeiah tlangpuei manghai ha pai vetih tanglung a lun ni. Te vaengah hmuencak khopuei te a loh vetih tuithim kah ban loh oel mahpawh. A pilnam hlangrhoei rhoek pataeng khaw a pai hamla thadueng tal ni.
'And the king of the north cometh in, and poureth out a mount, and hath captured fenced cities; and the arms of the south do not stand, nor the people of his choice, yea, there is no power to stand.
16 Anih taengla aka pha te a kolonah bangla a saii vetih a mikhmuh ah pai uh mahpawh. Kirhang khohmuen te a thoh vetih amah kut khuiah a tlak sak ni.
And he who is coming unto him doth according to his will, and there is none standing before him; and he standeth in the desirable land, and [it is] wholly in his hand.
17 A ram pum kah saithainah neh kun hamla a mikhmuh ah a tawn ni. A taengah a thuem la a saii vetih a canu a yuu la a paek ni. Te te phae cakhaw coeng hae pawt vetih a taengah om hae mahpawh.
And he setteth his face to go in with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he hath wrought, and the daughter of women he giveth to him, to corrupt her; and she doth not stand, nor is for him.
18 Te phoeiah mael vetih sanglak la a maelhmai a khueh ni. Te vaengah muep a loh akhaw a kokhahnah rhalboei khaw amah la kangkuen vetih a kokhahnah loh om kolla amah taengla mael ni.
'And he turneth back his face to the isles, and hath captured many; and a prince hath caused his reproach of himself to cease; without his reproach he turneth [it] back to him.
19 Te vaengah a maelhmai te a khohmuen kah lunghim taengla la mael ni. Tedae paloe vetih a cungku phoeiah phoe voel mahpawh.
And he turneth back his face to the strongholds of his land, and hath stumbled and fallen, and is not found.
20 Anih hmuen kah aka pai loh ram kah boeilennah soah laisuk a paan sak ni. Tedae khohnin pakhat dongah bawt vetih thintoek neh om kolla caemtloek khuiah khaw om mahpawh.
'And stood up on his station hath [one] causing an exactor to pass over the honour of the kingdom, and in a few days he is destroyed, and not in anger, nor in battle.
21 Anih yueng la aka pai khaw a hnaep uh vetih a taengah ram kah mueithennah te pae uh mahpawh. Tedae ommongnah khuila a pha vaengah ram te longtlang longah a moem ni.
'And stood up on his station hath a despicable one, and they have not given unto him the honour of the kingdom, and he hath come in quietly, and hath strengthened the kingdom by flatteries.
22 Lungpook bantha khaw a mikhmuh dong lamloh khoe uh vetih paipi rhaengsang bal khaw bawt ni.
And the arms of the flood are overflowed from before him, and are broken; and also the leader of the covenant.
23 Tedae anih neh a patai lamlong tah hlangthai palat la om vetih pongpa ni. Te vaengah namtom hlangsi neh rhoeng ni.
And after they join themselves unto him, he worketh deceit, and hath increased, and hath been strong by a few of the nation.
24 Ommongnah neh paeng ah thaomthathueng la kun vetih a napa neh a napa kah a napa rhoek loh a saii uh noek pawt te a saii ni. Kutbuem neh hnorhawt khaw amih ham khuehtawn la a haeh ni. A tuetang bangla a kopoek neh hmuencak te a moeh ni.
Peaceably even into the fertile places of the province He cometh, and he hath done that which his fathers did not, nor his fathers' fathers; prey, and spoil, and substance, to them he scattereth, and against fenced places he deviseth his devices, even for a time.
25 Tuithim manghai neh tatthai pilnu taengah a thadueng neh a thinko te a haeng ni. Tuithim manghai khaw caemtloek khuiah tatthai neh muep huek uh vetih pilnu khungdaeng ni. Tedae anih te kopoek neh a moeh uh dongah pai thai mahpawh.
'And he stirreth up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great force, and the king of the south stirreth himself up to battle with a very great and mighty force, and standeth not, for they devise devices against him,
26 A buh aka ca rhoek long pataeng amah te a bawt uh vetih amah caem rhoek te a muelh vaengah rhok la muep cungku uh ni.
and those eating his portion of food destroy him, and his force overfloweth, and fallen have many wounded.
27 Amih manghai rhoi tah a thinko ah boethae neh caboei pakhat dongah laithae a thui rhoi dae thaihtak mahpawh. A khoning vaengah a bawtnah koep om ni.
'And both of the kings' hearts [are] to do evil, and at one table they speak lies, and it doth not prosper, for yet the end [is] at a time appointed.
28 Khuehtawn neh amah kho la muep mael sitoe cakhaw a thinko ah cimcaihnah paipi a poe nen ni amah kho la a mael eh.
And he turneth back [to] his land with great substance, and his heart [is] against the holy covenant, and he hath wrought, and turned back to his land.
29 A khoning vaengah tah mael vetih tuithim la cet ni. Tedae lamhma kah bangla lamhnuk ah om mahpawh.
At the appointed time he turneth back, and hath come against the south, and it is not as the former, and as the latter.
30 Anih te Kittim timbaw a paan vaengah pae vetih mael ni. Cimcaihnah paipi te kosi a hong vetih a rhoi ni. A mael vaengah cimcaihnah paipi aka hnoo te a yakming ni.
And ships of Chittim have come in against him, and he hath been pained, and hath turned back, and hath been insolent toward the holy covenant, and hath wrought, and turned back, and he understandeth concerning those forsaking the holy covenant.
31 Amah kah a bantha khaw pai uh vetih lunghim rhokso a poeih uh ni. Sainoek te a phaelh uh vetih aka pong rhoek kah sarhingkoi a khueh uh ni.
And strong ones out of him stand up, and have polluted the sanctuary, the stronghold, and have turned aside the continual [sacrifice], and appointed the desolating abomination.
32 Paipi aka boe sak rhoek khaw hoemdawk loh a poeih ni. Tedae a Pathen aka ming pilnam tah a moem uh vetih a rhoi uh ni.
And those acting wickedly [against] the covenant, he defileth by flatteries; and the people knowing their God are strong, and have wrought.
33 Pilnam aka cangbam rhoek tah tumca dongah, hmaisai neh, tamna neh, kutbuem tue neh paloe uh cakhaw a yet taengah a yakming sak ni.
And the teachers of the people give understanding to many; and they have stumbled by sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil — days.
34 A paloe uh ham vaengah khaw bomkung loh bet a bom uh vetih amih taengah olhnal rhoek muep naep uh ni.
And in their stumbling, they are helped — a little help, and joined to them have been many with flatteries.
35 Lungming khui lamkah khaw paloe uh suidae, amih te picai ham neh coelh ham, a bawtnah tue hil koep tingtunnah dongah a khueh ham dongah ni.
And some of the teachers do stumble for refining by them, and for purifying, and for making white — till the end of the time, for [it is] yet for a time appointed.
36 Manghai loh a kolonah bangla a saii ni. Amah pomsang uh vetih pathen boeih lakah pantai ni. Pathen rhoek kah Pathen taengah khobaerhambae la cal ni. Tedae a oltloek a saii coeng dongah kosi a bawt duela thaihtak ni.
'And the king hath done according to his will, and exalteth himself, and magnifieth himself against every god, and against the God of gods he speaketh wonderful things, and hath prospered till the indignation hath been completed, for that which is determined hath been done.
37 A napa rhoek kah pathen te yakming pawt vetih huta sahnaih te khaw, pathen cungkuem te khaw yakming mahpawh. Tedae a cungkuem soah pomsang uh ni.
And unto the God of his fathers he doth not attend, nor to the desire of women, yea, to any god he doth not attend, for against all he magnifieth himself.
38 Te yueng la lunghim pathen te a thangpom ni. A napa rhoek loh a ming uh mueh pathen te sui neh, cak neh, lung vang neh, hlangthen neh a thangpom ni.
And to the god of strongholds, on his station, he giveth honour; yea, to a god whom his fathers knew not he giveth honour, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stone, and with desirable things.
39 Kholong pathen neh lunghim hmuencak te a saii ni. Te te aka hmat, aka hmat tah thangpomnah a yet sak ni. Amih te a yet soah a taemrhai vetih khohmuen te a phu la a tael pah ni.
And he hath dealt in the fortresses of the strongholds with a strange god whom he hath acknowledged; he multiplieth honour, and hath caused them to rule over many, and the ground he apportioneth at a price.
40 A bawtnah tue ah anih te tuithim manghai loh a thoeh ni. Tlangpuei manghai khaw anih taengah leng neh, marhang caem neh, sangpho neh muep hli ni. Khohmuen la a kun vaengah a muelh doela kat ni.
'And at the time of the end, push himself forward with him doth a king of the south, and storm against him doth a king of the north, with chariot, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he hath come in to the lands, and hath overflowed, and passed over,
41 Kirhang khohmuen la a kun vaengah muep paloe uh ni. Tedae Edom, Moab neh Ammon koca kah tanglue rhoek he tah anih kut lamloh loeih uh ni.
and hath come into the desirable land, and many do stumble, and these escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.
42 Khohmuen tom ah a kut a tueih vetih Egypt kho pataeng loeihnah ham om mahpawh.
'And he sendeth forth his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt is not for an escape;
43 Sui neh cak a thuhnah te a taemrhai ni. Egypt, Lubim neh Kushi kah sanaep boeih te a khokan dongah a khueh ni.
and he hath ruled over treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt, and Lubim and Cushim [are] at his steps.
44 Tedae khocuk lamkah neh tlangpuei lamkah olthang loh anih a let sak ni. Te vaengah mitmoeng sak ham neh bit thup hamla kosi len neh ha pai ni.
'And reports trouble him out of the east and out of the north, and he hath gone forth in great fury to destroy, and to devote many to destruction;
45 A tongmang dap te tuili kah laklo cimcaihnah kirhang tlang ah a tuk ni. Tedae a bawtnah te a pha vaengah anih aka bom om mahpawh.
and he planteth the tents of his palace between the seas and the holy desirable mountain, and hath come unto his end, and there is no helper to him.
