Daniel 8
1 Manghai Belshazzar ram kah a kum thum dongah tah mangthui te kai Daniel kamah taengah phoe tih lamhma kah te ni kai taengah koep a phoe.
In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 Mangthui neh ka hmuh bangla a om vaengah ka sawt hatah kamah tah Elam paeng kah Shushan rhalmah im kana om. Mangthui ah koep ka hmuh bal vaengah tah kai he Ulai tuilong ah ka om bal.
And I saw in a vision, and when I saw, I was in Shushan, in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and was by the river Ulai.
3 Ka mik te ka huel tih ka sawt vaengah tuilong dan ah tutal pakhat tarha pai. Te te ki panit om tih a ki te bok sen. Pakhat te a pabae lakah sen tih a sen te a hnuk ah thoeng.
And I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram, which had two horns; and the two horns were high, and one was higher than the other; and the higher came up last.
4 Tutal te ka hmuh vaengah khotlak la, tlangpuei la, tuithim la a thoeh tih mulhing boeih loh a mikhmuh ah pai thai pawh. Anih kut lamloh aka huul khaw a om pawt dongah a kolonah bangla a saii tih rhoeng.
I saw the ram pushing westward and northward and southward, and no beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will and became great.
5 Kai khaw ka om na kungah ka yakming vaengah khotlak lamkah maae tal tarha ha thoeng. Te long te diklai hmai boeih a poe tih diklai khaw ben pawh. Maae tal te a mik laklo ah mingphanah ki om.
And I gave heed, and behold, a he-goat came from the west, over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
6 Te vaengah ki boei tutal taengla cet tih tuilong hmai ah a pai te ka hmuh. Te phoeiah a taengla a thadueng kosi neh yong.
And he came to the ram which had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran against him in the fury of his power.
7 Te phoeiah tutal taengla a ben tih tutal te a phaep. Tutal te a thoeh tih a ki rhoi te tlawt. Tutal te anih hmai ah pai hamla a khuiah thadueng khueh pawt tih diklai la a voeih. Tutal te a suntlae tih anih kut lamloh aka huul om pawh.
And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him, and smote the ram, and broke in pieces his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and none could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Maae tal bahoeng rhoeng tih a thaom dae a ki len tah tlawt. Te phoeiah a yueng pali te mingphanah la cawn tih vaan khohli pali taengla hoiuh.
And the he-goat became exceedingly great; but when he became strong the great horn was broken, and instead of it grew up four conspicuous ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Te rhoek khuiah pakhat dong lamloh a ki noe pakhat cawn dae tuithim la, khocuk la, kirhang taengla muep rhoeng.
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.
10 Vaan caempuei taengla rhoeng tih caempuei taeng lamloh, aisi taeng lamloh diklai la cungku tih amih te a suntlae.
And it exalted itself even to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11 Te phoeiah caempuei mangpa la a pomsang dae anih lamkah sainoek te a kuel a kuel tih a rhokso hmuen te a voeih pah.
Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and the daily sacrifice did he take away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 Boekoeknah he caempuei neh sainoek yueng la a khueh. Te vaengah oltak te diklai la a voeih tih a saii daengah thaihtak.
And a host was placed over the daily sacrifice with impiety, and it cast down truth to the ground, and it accomplished its purpose and prospered.
13 Te phoeiah hlangcim pakhat loh a thui te ka yaak tih, “Hlangcim pakhat loh pakhat taengah, 'Sainoek kah mangthui khaw me hil nim a thui ve? Boekoeknah loh hmuencim te dingrhak la khueh ham neh caempuei kah cawtkoi ham khaw,” a ti.
And I heard a holy one speak; and another holy one said to the one that had spoken, To how long a time extendeth the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the impiety of the destroyer, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Hlaem mincang thawng hnih ya thum duela om vetih hmuencim te a ciim ni,” a ti.
And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
15 Kai Daniel kamah khaw mangthui ka hmuh vaengah yakmingnah ka tlap. Te vaengah hlang kah mueimae bangla kamah hmai ah tarha pai.
And it came to pass, that when I Daniel saw the vision, I sought for the meaning; and behold, there stood one before me having the appearance of a man.
16 Ulai lamkah hlang ol ka yaak vaengah pang tih, “Gabriel, a hmuethma he n'yakming sak lah,” a ti.
And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17 Te dongah ka paihmuen la ha thoeih tih anih ham pha vaengah ka let. Ka maelhmai dongah ka bakop dae kai te, “Hlang capa aw, mangthui a bawtnah tue te yakming laeh,” a ti.
And he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face, and he said to me, Understand, O son of man! for this vision relateth to the time of the end.
18 Kai ham a thui vaengah ka maelhmai neh diklai la ka ip coeng. Tedae kai te n'taek tih ka paihmuen la kai n'thoh.
But when he spake to me, I sank senseless upon my face to the ground; but he touched me, and lifted me up where I had stood.
19 Te phoeiah, “A bawtnah khoning vaengkah kosi bawtnah dongah aka om ham te nang taengah kan ming sak ne,” a ti.
And he said, Behold, I make known to thee what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for [[the vision relateth]] to the time of the end.
20 Tutal ki boei na hmuh te Madai neh Persia manghai ne.
The ram which thou sawest, having two horns, denoteth the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Maae tal tah Greek manghai tih a mik laklo kah ki a len tah lamhma kah manghai ni.
And the rough goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn between his eyes is the first king.
22 Te te a tlawt phoeiah a yueng pali a cawn he namtom lamkah ram pali pai suidae a thadueng neh om mahpawh.
And as that was broken, and four arose in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of the nation, but not with his power.
23 Hmailong ah amih ram khaw boekoek cung vetih maelhmai aka tlung neh olkael aka yakming manghai phoe ni.
And toward the end of their reign, when the transgressors have filled up the measure of their iniquities, a king shall arise of a fierce countenance, and cunning in artifices.
24 Te vaengah a thadueng rhoeng suidae a thadueng neh om mahpawh. Khobaerhambae khaw a phae vetih thaihtak ni. Te phoeiah a saii vetih pilnu neh pilnam cim khaw a phae ni.
And his power shall become mighty, but not by his own strength; and wonderfully will he destroy, and prosper, and accomplish his purposes, and he will destroy many, even the people of the holy ones.
25 A lungmingnah nen khaw, a kut dongkah thailatnah nen khaw thaihtak vetih a thinko ah pomsang ni. Ommongnah dongah khaw muep paci vetih mangpa rhoek kah mangpa taengah pai bal ni. Tedae hlang kut mueh nen ni a bawt eh.
And through his cunning will he cause fraud to prosper in his hand, and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in the midst of security, and against the Prince of princes will he stand up; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 Hlaem neh mincang kah a hmuethma loh oltak amah te a thui coeng. Tedae namah kum a sen ham la mangthui te khoem laeh.
And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told thee, is true; but do thou seal up the vision, for it relates to many days.
27 Kai Daniel khaw ka om dae khohnin loh nue coeng. Ka thoh neh manghai kah bitat te ka saii. Te dongah a hmuethma nen khaw ka pong tih ka yakming voel pawh.
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick some days; then I rose up and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but no one explained it.
