< Daniel 9 >

1 Khalden ram ah aka manghai Madai tiingan lamkah Ahasuerus capa Darius kah kum khat dongah om coeng.
It was the first year of Darius the Mede, son of Ahasuerus, after he had become king of the Babylonians.
2 Kum sawmrhih vaengah Jerusalem imrhong la a om ham BOEIPA loh tonghma Jeremiah taengah ol a paek bangla kum kah a tarhing tah a manghai nah kum khat vaengah kai Daniel loh cabu rhangneh ka yakming.
During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures as given to the prophet Jeremiah that the time of seventy years for Jerusalem to lie desolate would soon be fulfilled.
3 Te dongah Pathen tlap hamla thangthuinah, huithuinah, yaehnah, tlamhni, hmaiphu neh ka Boeipa taengla ka maelhmai te ka hoi
So I turned to the Lord God in prayer. I fasted and wore sackcloth and ashes, and I pleaded with him in prayer to act.
4 Ka Pathen BOEIPA taengah ka thangthui neh ka phoe tih, “Ka Boeipa aw Pathen tah boeilen tih a rhih om pai. Paipi te a ngaithuen dongah amah aka lungnah taeng neh a olpaek aka ngaithuen taengah sitlohnah a khueh.
I prayed to the Lord my God, and confessed, saying, “Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always keep your promises and show your trustworthy love to those who love you and keep your commandments.
5 Ka tholh uh tih ka paihaeh uh dongah ka boe rhoe ka boe uh coeng. Kan tloelh uh tih na olpaek lamkah neh na laitloeknah lamloh ka nong uh coeng.
But we have sinned, we have done wrong. We have acted wickedly, we have rebelled against you. We have turned away from your commandments and your laws.
6 Namah sal tonghma ol te ka hnatun uh moenih. Te rhoek loh namah ming neh ka manghai rhoek, ka mangpa, a pa rhoek taengah khaw khohmuen pilnam boeih taengah khaw a thui uh coeng.
We have not paid attention to your servants the prophets who spoke in your name to our kings and leaders and forefathers, and to everybody in the country.
7 Duengnah he ka Boeipa nang kah ni. Tedae tihnin kah bangla maelhmai yahpohnah he kaimih taengah khaw, Judah hlang taengah khaw, Jerusalem khosa rhoek taengah khaw, Israel boeih taengah khaw, diklai pum kah a yoei a hla taengah om coeng. Amamih kah boekoeknah dongah nang taengah boe a koek vangbangla teah amih pahoi na heh coeng.
Lord, you always do what is right, but we continue to be ashamed to this very day—we the people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, those nearby and those far away, those of every country where you have driven them because of their unfaithfulness to you.
8 BOEIPA aw namah taengah ka tholh uh dongah kaimih ham tah maelhmai kah yahpohnah he ka manghai rhoek taeng neh ka mangpa rhoek taengah khaw, a pa rhoek taengah khaw om.
Public shame is ours Lord, and on our kings and princes and forefathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 Amah te ka tloelh lalah khaw ka Boeipa tah kaimih ham haidamnah neh khodawkngainah Pathen la om.
Yet you, the Lord our God, are compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against you.
10 A sal tonghma rhoek kut lamloh kaimihmih mikhmuh ah m'paek a olkhueng dongah pongpa ham mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA ol te ka hnatun uh moenih.
We have not obeyed what you, the Lord God, have told us. We have not followed your law that you gave us through your servants the prophets.
11 Israel pum long khaw na olkhueng te a poe uh tih a taengphael dongah na ol te hnatun uh pawh. A taengah ka tholh uh dongah ni Pathen kah Sal Moses olkhueng khuiah a daek bangla thaephoeinah neh olhlo te kaimih soah nan hawk.
The whole of Israel has broken your law and turned away from you, not listening to what you had to say. That's why the condemnation that comes from our broken promise has been poured out on us—because of our sin, as made clear in the Law of Moses, the servant of the Lord.
12 Te phoeiah a ol tah a ol bangla a thoh coeng. Te te kaimih taeng neh kaimih kah laitloek rhoek taengah a thui coeng. Kaimih sokah lai aka tloek loh kaimih soah yoethae a len hang khuen. Te dongah Jerusalem kah a saii bang te vaan boeih kah a hmuiah a saii noek moenih.
You have carried out what you warned us about, against us and against our rulers—such a terrible punishment brought upon Jerusalem, the worst that has ever happened in the whole world.
13 Moses kah olkhueng dongah a daek bangla yoethae cungkuem he kaimih soah pai coeng. Tedae kaimih kathaesainah lamloh mael ham neh na oltak dongah cangbam ham kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka kothae uh pawh
Just as the Law of Moses said, all this punishment has fallen on us, but we still have not asked you, the Lord our God, to be favorable to us, turning away from our sins and paying attention to your truth.
14 BOEIPA loh yoethae kawng dongah hak tih te te kaimih soah a pai sak. Ka Pathen BOEIPA loh a bibi boeih dongah a dueng la a saii dae a ol te ka hnatun uh moenih
You were ready to punish us, and you were right to do everything you have done, for we didn't listen to you.
15 Ka Boeipa neh kaimih kah Pathen aw, na pilnam te Egypt khohmuen lamloh tlungluen kut neh na khuen. Tahae khohnin kah bangla namah ming ham na saii dongah ka tholh uh tih ka boe uh coeng.
You, our Lord God, by your great power brought us out of Egypt, making a name for yourself that lasts even until now. But we have sinned, we have done wicked things.
16 Ka Boeipa aw, na duengnah loh a cungkuem bangla na thintoek neh na kosi te na tlang cim neh na khopuei Jerusalem lamloh mael laeh saeh. Kaimih kah tholhnah dong neh a pa rhoek kathaesainah dongah ni Jerusalem neh na pilnam ka kaepvai boeih taengah kokhahnah la a om.
So Lord, because you are so good, please turn away from your anger and fury against Jerusalem, your holy mountain. Because of our sins and those of our forefathers, Jerusalem and your people are mocked by all our neighbors.
17 Kaimih kah Pathen aw na sal kah thangthuinah neh a huithuinah he hnatun laeh. Na rhokso dingrhak soah khaw ka Boeipa hamla na maelhmai sae sak.
Now, our Lord, please listen to the prayer and pleading of your servant, and for your own sake look kindly on your abandoned sanctuary.
18 Ka Pathen aw na hna te kaeng lamtah han ya lah, na mik te dai rhoe dai lamtah kaimih neh khopuei a pong he hmu lah. Te te na ming la a khue dae ta. Na mikhmuh ah ka huithuinah kan tloeng he kaimih kah duengnah dongah pawt tih na haidamnah a yet dongah ni.
Please listen carefully and open your eyes and see the terrible state we are in, and the city that bears your name. We're not making these requests to you for this because of our goodness, but because of your great mercy.
19 Ka Boeipa hnatun dae, ka Boeipa khodawkngai dae, ka Boeipa hnatung dae. Ka Pathen namah ham uelh mueh la saii laeh. Na ming he na khopuei ham neh na pilnam ham ni a khue
Lord, please listen! Lord, please forgive! Please pay attention and do something! For your own sake, my God, don't delay, for your city and your people are identified by your name.”
20 Ka thui li vaengah ka thangthui neh, ka tholhnah khaw, ka pilnam Israel kah tholhnah khaw ka phoe. Te phoeiah ka Pathen kah hmuencim tlang ham ka Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka lungmacil loh koep
I continued speaking, praying and confessing my sins and those of my people Israel, pleading before the Lord my God on behalf of Jerusalem, his holy mountain.
21 Thangthuinah neh ka thui li vaengah Gabriel hlang te lamhma kah mangthui neh ka hmuh. Anih te ding la ha ding tih hlaem kah khocang tue vaengah kai taengah ha pai.
While I was still praying, Gabriel, whom I'd seen previously when I'd had the vision, came flying rapidly towards me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 A thuicaih tih kamah m'voek vaengah, “Daniel nang te yakmingnah neh cangbam ham ka lo coeng.
He gave me the following explanation, saying, “Daniel, I've come to give you insight and understanding.
23 Na huithuinah a moe vaengah ol ha pai. Te dongah nang kah sanaep te thui hamla ka lo. Te dongah ol te yakming lamtah a hmuethma te khaw yakming laeh.
As soon as you started praying, the answer was given, and I have come to explain it to you because God loves you very much. So please listen to the explanation and understand the meaning of the vision.
24 Na pilnam ham neh na hmuencim khopuei ham a yalh sawmrhih tloek pah. A boekoeknah bawt sak ham neh catui hnah ham khaw, tholhnah boirhaem cing sak ham neh thaesainah te dawth pah ham khaw, kumhal duengnah khuen ham neh mangthui te catui hnah ham khaw, tonghma neh hmuencim kah hmuencim koelh ham khaw om coeng.
Seventy weeks has been allotted to your people and your holy city to deal with the rebellion, to put an end to sin, to forgive wrongdoing, to bring in everlasting goodness, to confirm the vision and the prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.
25 Te dongah ming lamtah Jerusalem thoh ham neh sak hamla ol aka thoeng te cangbam laeh. A koelh rhaengsang hil yalh rhih neh yalh sawmrhuk panit khuiah toltung neh imhlai khaw a thoh vetih a sak suidae khobing tue la om ni.
You need to know and understand that from the time the command is given to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until the Messiah, seven weeks plus sixty-two weeks will elapse. It will be built with streets and defenses, in spite of the difficult times.
26 Yalh sawmrhuk panit hnuk lamtah a koelh te a hnawt vetih anih te om voel mahpawh. Pilnam rhaengsang aka pai loh khopuei neh hmuencim te a phae ni. Anih bawtnah tah lungpook bangla caemtloek a bawt hil cu tih pong.
After sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be put to death, and will be brought to nothing. A ruler will come to power whose army will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will come like a flood. War and devastation will continue until that period of time is completed.
27 Paipi te a yet neh yalh khat a len sak ni. Tedae yalh rhakthuem vaengah hmueih neh khocang a paa sak ni. Te vaengah a phae dongkah sarhingkoi te a boeinah hil a pong sak. Te phoeiah a tloek bangla aka pong soah a hawk
He will confirm the agreement with many people for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifices and offerings. The idolatry that causes devastation will be supported until the end when the same fate is poured out on the one who devastates.”
