< Daniel 11 >

1 Medes siangpahrang, Darius a bawinae a kum pasuek navah, a uknaeram caksak hane hoi thao sak nahanelah ka kampangkhai.
“As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
2 Atuteh, katang e ka dei han toe. Persia ram ka uk hane siangpahrang kathum touh a tâco han rah. Apalinae siangpahrang teh ahnimanaw hlak hoe a tawnta han. Hottelah a tawnta thai teh, a tha ao dawkvah, Grik ram tuk hanelah tamipueng a hroecoe han.
“Now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings will stand up in Persia. The fourth will be far richer than all of them. When he has grown strong through his riches, he will stir up all against the realm of Greece.
3 Hatnavah, athakaawme siangpahrang buet touh a tâco han. Ahni ni kâtawnnae hoi uk vaiteh, a ngai e patetlah a sak han.
A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
4 Ahni a tâco hnukkhu hoi a ram rawk vaiteh, pali touh lah a kârei awh han. Hatei, ka ukkungnaw teh a catounnaw nahoeh, kâtawnnae hoi a uknaeram thung e nahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a ram teh a kâbawng toung dawkvah, ayânaw poe lah ao han.
When he stands up, his kingdom will be broken and will be divided toward the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be plucked up, even for others besides these.
5 Hat toteh, akalae siangpahrang teh a thao han. Hatei, a bawinae thung dawk buet touh teh ahni hlak a tha awm vaiteh, amae ram hah kalen e bahu hoi a uk han.
“The king of the south will be strong. One of his princes will become stronger than him, and have dominion. His dominion will be a great dominion.
6 Atueng a saw toteh, huiko a kâsak awh han. A kâpo awh nahanlah akalae siangpahrang canu teh atunglae siangpahrang koe kâtawnnae a poe han. Hatei, hote napui e kâtawnnae teh cak mahoeh. Hote siangpahrang hoi a catoun hai cak mahoeh. Siangpahrang canu hai, ahni ka thak e naw hai, ahnie canaw hai, hatnae tueng nah ahni kabawm e naw hai, thei hanlah ao han.
At the end of years they will join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement, but she will not retain the strength of her arm. He will also not stand, nor will his arm; but she will be given up, with those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened her in those times.
7 Hote siangpahrang canu e miphun dawk e buet touh ni ahnie hmuen dawk a kangdue han. Ahni ni atunglae siangpahrang hah tuk vaiteh, khothung kâen vaiteh, khocanaw hah a tuk vaiteh a tâ han.
“But out of a shoot from her roots one will stand up in his place, who will come to the army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and will deal against them and will prevail.
8 Ahnimae cathutnaw, hlun e meikaphawknaw, aphu kaawm e sui manang, ngunnaw hah Izip ram lah be aphu awh han. Atunglae siangpahrang hlak akalae siangpahrang teh a kum bet a saw han.
He will also carry their gods with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, captive into Egypt. He will refrain some years from the king of the north.
9 Atunglae siangpahrang hai akalae siangpahrang uknaeram thung a kâen han. Hatei, ama ram lah bout a ban han.
He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will return into his own land.
10 A capanaw ni bout thaw awh vaiteh, ransanaw moikapap kamkhueng sak vaiteh a tho awh han. Tâ awh vaiteh, ahnie kho thung totouh runae a poe awh han.
His sons will wage war, and will assemble a multitude of great forces which will come on, and overflow, and pass through. They will return and wage war, even to his fortress.
11 Akalae siangpahrang teh a lungkhuek dawkvah, atunglae siangpahrang hah a tuk han. Hatei, tami moikapap hah a taran kut dawk a poe han.
“The king of the south will be moved with anger and will come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north. He will send out a great multitude, and the multitude will be given into his hand.
12 Tami moikapap a ceikhai awh toteh, kâoup vaiteh, a thong moikapap ka thet nakunghai, kâ a tawnnae cak mahoeh.
The multitude will be carried off, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he won’t prevail.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, atunglae siangpahrang bout thaw vaiteh, ahmaloe e hlak kapap e taminaw hah pâkhueng vaiteh, kum nâyittouh ne a ro torei ransanaw hoi senehmaica hoi a tho awh han.
The king of the north will return, and will send out a multitude greater than the former. He will come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with abundant supplies.
14 Hatnae tueng dawkvah, akalae siangpahrang ka taran e apap han. Na miphunnaw thung dawk e tapungnaw ni vision akuep nahanelah thaw awh vaiteh, rawknae koe a pha awh han.
“In those times many will stand up against the king of the south. Also the children of the violent among your people will lift themselves up to establish the vision, but they will fall.
15 Atunglae siangpahrang ni tho vaiteh kho rapannaw sak awh vaiteh, kacaklah kâkalup e khonaw hah a tuk awh han. Akalae senehmaica thaonae ni ngang thai mahoeh, hmoun e ransanaw ni hai ngang thai nahanelah tha tawn awh mahoeh.
So the king of the north will come and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. The forces of the south won’t stand, neither will his select troops, neither will there be any strength to stand.
16 Ka tuk e niteh, amahmawk a tuk dawkvah, ahnie hmalah apihai kangdout thai hoeh. Ram kahawi hah raphoe vaiteh, ka lentoe e ram lah a kangdue sak han.
But he who comes against him will do according to his own will, and no one will stand before him. He will stand in the glorious land, and destruction will be in his hand.
17 A uknaeram buemlah thaonae hoi a kâen hanlah a kâcai teh, akalae siangpahrang hoi kâhuiko hanelah a sak han. A canu poe e lahoi raphoe hanelah a kâcai eiteh, a pouknae patetlah awm hoeh. Banghai cungkeinae awm hoeh.
He will set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions. He will perform them. He will give him the daughter of women, to destroy the kingdom, but she will not stand, and won’t be for him.
18 Hahoi, tuilumnaw koe lah kamlang vaiteh, tuilumnaw hah a tuk han. Hatei, ransabawi buet touh ni min mathoenae a dei e hah, katukkungnaw koe letlang a bo sak han.
After this he will turn his face to the islands, and will take many, but a prince will cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yes, moreover, he will cause his reproach to turn on him.
19 Hote bawi hai ama kho bout a ban hnukkhu a kamthui teh, a rawp teh a kahma.
Then he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and won’t be found.
20 Hote bawi e hmuen dawk tami buet touh sungren poung e uknaeram dawk, tamuk ka cawng e a kangdue han. Hatei, taran tuknae lungkhueknae dawk hoi laipalah, a kahma han.
“Then one who will cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory will stand up in his place; but within few days he shall be destroyed, not in anger, and not in battle.
21 Ahnie hmuen dawk yuemkamcu hoeh e, bari kaawm hoeh e, dudam kamcu e tami a tâco han. Ahni ni tânae lahoi laipalah pasawtpanepnae lahoi uknaeram hah a la han.
“In his place a contemptible person will stand up, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom; but he will come in time of security, and will obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 A hmalah kaawm e naw teh, tui kalen thaonae lahoi pâyo sak lah ao vaiteh, koung a rawk awh han. Lawkkam e bawi hai a rawk han.
The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.
23 Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk ka kam e bawi teh, lawkkam a raphoe dawkvah, tami younca hoi a tho eiteh, a tha ao han.
After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.
24 Ram kahawi dawk tuk laipalah a kâen han. Lawp e hnopainaw hah ayânaw a rei han. Mintoenaw ni patenghai a sak awh boihoeh e hah a sak han. Kacakpounge kho rapanimnaw hah lawp hanelah kasawlah a kâpouk han.
In time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter among them prey, plunder, and wealth. Yes, he will devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.
25 Puenghoi kapap e ransanaw hoi, akalae siangpahrang hah tuk vaiteh, amahoima thaonae hah a hroecoe han. Akalae siangpahrang ni hai moikapap ni teh athakaawme ransanaw hoi taran tuk hanlah a kâhroecoe awh ei, ngang thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kahawihoehe pouknae a tawn awh han.
“He will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will wage war in battle with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he won’t stand; for they will devise plans against him.
26 Siangpahrang koe kacatnetnaw ni ama tuk hanlah, letlang a kâcai awh. Hatei, a ransanaw teh, be kahmat vaiteh, tarankâtuknae koe tami moi a due awh han.
Yes, those who eat of his delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down slain.
27 Hote siangpahrang roi teh kahawihoehe pouknae a tawn roi teh, caboi buet touh koe laithoe a dei roi han. Hatei, a pouknae coung pouh mahoeh. A pouknae teh khoe tangcoung e a tue dawk ka phat mingming han.
As for both these kings, their hearts will be to do evil, and they will speak lies at one table; but it won’t prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time.
28 Hahoi atunglae siangpahrang teh hnopai moikapap hoi ama ram lah a ban navah, kathounge lawkkamnae hah tarannae lungthin a tawn e patetlah a sak vaiteh, ama ram lah bout a ban han.
Then he will return into his land with great wealth. His heart will be against the holy covenant. He will take action, and return to his own land.
29 Khoe e tueng dawk bout ban vaiteh, akalah bout a tho han. Hatei, ahmaloe e patetlah nahoeh. A hnukkhu e patetlah hai nahoeh.
“He will return at the appointed time and come into the south; but it won’t be in the latter time as it was in the former.
30 Bangtelane tetpawiteh, Kittim longnaw ni ahni tuk hanlah a tho awh han. Hatdawkvah puenghoi a lungpataw teh, lungkhuek laihoi bawkim kathoung tuk hanelah bout tho vaiteh, rawknae hah a sak han. Hottelah lawkkam kathoung katapoenaw hoi a kâhuiko awh han.
For ships of Kittim will come against him. Therefore he will be grieved, and will return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and will take action. He will even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 Ransanaw ni tuk pouh vaiteh, kathounge hmuen hah a khin sak awh han. A hnintangkuem sak e thuengnae hah takhoe awh vaiteh, panuetthopounge rawknae kathokhaikung hah a pâhung awh han.
“Forces from him will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and will take away the continual burnt offering. Then they will set up the abomination that makes desolate.
32 Lawkkam ka taran e naw teh lawk dei thoumnae lahoi a rawk awh han. Hatei, Cathut ka panuek e taminaw teh thasainae hoi hno a sak thai awh han.
He will corrupt those who do wickedly against the covenant by flatteries; but the people who know their God will be strong and take action.
33 Taminaw thung dawk a lungkaangnaw ni tami kapapnaw teh a cangkhai awh han. Hatei, hnin kasawlah tahloi hoi theinae, hmaisawinae, san lah mannae, lawpnae hoi a rawp awh han.
“Those who are wise among the people will instruct many; yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, many days.
34 A rawp awh toteh, kabawpnae youn touh bout a coe awh han. Taminaw teh lawk dei thoumnae koe a kâbang awh han.
Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.
35 A lungkaang e tami tangawn hai a rawp awh han, a thoung awh teh, toun hoeh nahanlah poutnae tueng totouh a sak han. Hot hateh, atueng khoe e totouh hane doeh.
Some of those who are wise will fall—to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time appointed.
36 Siangpahrang buet touh teh, amamouh ni a ngai e patetlah a sak han, cathutnaw pueng hlak kâtawmrasang vaiteh, cathutnaw e Cathut hah a taran han. Dudamnae lawk a dei han. Lungkhueknae akuep hoehroukrak a tâ han. Pouk tangcoung e patetlah sak roeroe han.
“The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished, for that which is determined will be done.
37 Ahni teh mintoenaw e Cathut hai, napui ngainae hai, alouke cathutnaw hai banglahai noutna hoeh. Tami pueng hlak amahoima a kâtawmrasang han.
He won’t regard the gods of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god; for he will magnify himself above all.
38 Hote cathutnaw e hmuen dawk, rapan cathut, mintoenaw ni panue hoeh e cathut hah tawm vaiteh, sui, ngun, talung, ngai kaawm e hnonaw hah a thueng han.
But in their place, he will honor the god of fortresses. He will honor a god whom his fathers didn’t know with gold, silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.
39 Kacake rapannaw hai, Jentelnaw e cathut hai sak vaiteh, a bawilennae apung sak han. Taminaw uknaeram kâ poelah awm vaiteh, tawnta nahanlah talai hah a kârei awh han.
He will deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. He will increase with glory whoever acknowledges him. He will cause them to rule over many, and will divide the land for a price.
40 Atueng poutnae tueng nah, akalae siangpahrang ni ahni hah a tuk han. Atunglae siangpahrang nihai, ranglengnaw, marangnaw, marangransanaw, longnaw hoi bongparui patetlah tho awh vaiteh, hote ram hah reprep a coungroe han.
“At the time of the end the king of the south will contend with him; and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships. He will enter into the countries, and will overflow and pass through.
41 Khet kahawi e ram dawk hai a kâen awh han. Ram moikapap a lawp awh han. Hatei, Edom ram, Moab hoi Amon kahrawikungnaw teh ahnie kut dawk hoi a hlout awh han.
He will enter also into the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown; but these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 Ram pueng dawk a ram pakaw vaiteh, Izip ram hai hlout mahoeh.
He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t escape.
43 Hote ram dawk kaawm e sui, ngun, aphu kaawm e hnonaw hah a la han. Libianaw hoi, Ethiopianaw hai ahni hnuk a kâbang awh han.
But he will have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt. The Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow his steps.
44 Hatei, kanîtho lahoi, atunglah hoi kamthang a thai navah a lungpuen teh, tami moikapap thei hanelah puenghoi lungkhuek lahoi a tho han.
But news out of the east and out of the north will trouble him; and he will go out with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many.
45 Tuipui rahak vah ka lentoe niteh, kathounge mon dawk o nahan im a sak teh, kabawmkung awm laipalah, rawknae koe a pha han.
He will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
