< Daniel 11 >

1 "And as for me, in the first year of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.
Kai loe Median kami Darius angraenghaih saningto haih naah, anih to thapaek moe, caksak hanah kang doet.
2 And now what I show you is true. Look, there shall arise three more kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all the kingdom of Greece.
Vaihi loktang lok to kang thuih han. Khenah, Persia prae ah siangpahrang thumto angzo vop tih; palito haih siangpahrang loe kalah siangpahrangnawk boih pongah angraeng kue tih: anih loe angraenghaih mah thacaksak ueloe, Grik prae to tuk hanah kaminawk boih pahruek tih.
3 And a powerful king shall arise, who shall rule an extensive empire, and do as he pleases.
To pacoengah thacak siangpahrang maeto angzo tih, anih loe thacakhaih hoiah uk ueloe, a koeh baktiah sah tih.
4 When he shall arise, his kingdom shall be broken up, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, and will go to others besides these.
Toe a uk ih prae loe koi ueloe, van takhi songhaih tlim ah prae palito ah ampraek o tih: angmah ih acaengnawk khaeah prae to paek mak ai, a thacakhaih hoi uk ih prae baktiah doeh om mak ai; acaeng kalah kaminawk mah anih ih prae to la pae o ving tih.
5 The king of the south shall grow strong, and one of his officers shall grow more powerful, and shall have a greater kingdom than his.
Aloih bang ih siangpahrang loe thacak tih, angmah angraengnawk thung ih maeto loe angmah pongah thacak kue ueloe, paroeai thacakhaih hoiah a prae to uk tih.
6 At the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain her power; neither shall his strength endure; but she shall be surrendered, and her attendants, and he who became the father of her, and he who supported her in those times.
Saning boeng naah nihcae loe nawnto angkom o tih; aloih bang siangpahrang canu loe palungduehaih sak hanah, aluek bang siangpahrang khaeah caeh tih; toe siangpahrang canu loe a thacakhaih tawn poe mak ai; a sava siangpahrang thacakhaih hoi ukhaih doeh cak poe mak ai; to nathuem ah siangpahrang canu bomkung, anih cunkung hoi thapaek kaminawk to hum o boih tih.
7 But out of a shoot from her roots shall arise in his place, who shall come against the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
Toe siangpahrang canu acaeng thung hoiah aloih bang prae ukkung siangpahrang maeto tacawt tih; anih mah angmah ih misatuh kami hoiah aluek bang siangpahrang ih vangpui to tuh ueloe, pazawk tih:
8 Also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall withdraw for some years from the king of the north.
siangpahrang mah nihcae ih sithawnawk, krangnawk, sui, sum kanglung hoi sak ih atho kana boengloengnawk to, Izip prae ah phaw o tih; anih loe aluek bang siangpahrang pongah saning sawk kue tih.
9 And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
To pacoengah aluek bang siangpahrang loe aloih bang siangpahrang prae tuk hanah akun tih, toe angmah prae ah amlaem let tih.
10 And his sons shall wage war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance and overflow and pass through, and they shall return and wage war, as far as his fortress.
Toe a capanawk mah misatuk han pahruek o ueloe, paroeai misatuh kaminawk to kok o tih; nihcae loe pakaa thai ai kalong tui baktiah angzo o tih, anih loe amlaem let ueloe, a loih bang siangpahrang vangpui sipae khoek to misatuk hanah amsak tih.
11 The king of the south shall be moved with rage and shall come forth and fight against him, even with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
To naah aloih bang siangpahrang to palungphui ueloe, anih mah aluek bang siangpahrang to tuh tih; aluek bang siangpahrang loe pop parai misatuh kaminawk to tawnh, toe aloih bang siangpahrang mah anih to pazawk tih.
12 The multitude shall be taken away, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
Pop parai misatuh kaminawk pazawk pacoengah, aloih bang ih siangpahrang loe amoek ueloe, sang hato pongah kanoih pop parai kaminawk to hum tih; toe misa pazawkhaih to cak poe mak ai.
13 The king of the north shall return, and shall raise a multitude greater than the former; and he shall advance after some years with a great army and with abundant supplies.
Aluek bang siangpahrang loe hmaloe ih kami pong pop kue ah, misatuh kaminawk to kok tih, saning nazetto maw akra pacoengah, maiphaw congca hoiah amthoep ueloe, kanoih parai misatuh kaminawk hoi nawnto angzo let tih.
14 And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south: also the violent ones among your people shall rise up in confirmation of the vision; but they shall fail.
To naah aloih bang siangpahrang loe misa tawn mang tih; hnuksakhaih akoep hanah angmah ih kaminawk mah anih to misa angthawk o thuih tih; toe nihcae mah pazawk o mak ai.
15 So the king of the north shall come, and build up a siege mound and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not prevail, neither his best troops, neither shall there be any strength to resist.
To pongah aluek bang siangpahrang to angzo tih, misa anghawkhaih long khaw to takae o ueloe, kacakah pakaa ih vangpui to la o tih: aloih bang misatuh kaminawk loe pakaahaih tha tawn o mak ai, kahoih koek qoih ih misatuh kaminawk mah doeh pakaa o thai mak ai.
16 But he who comes against him shall do as he pleases, and no one shall be able to withstand him. And he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction will be within his power.
Anih tuh kami loe a koeh baktih toengah hmuen to sah tih, mi doeh a hma ah angdoe thai mak ai: anih mah lensawk prae to tuh ueloe, amrosak tih.
17 He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with him which he shall put into effect. And he shall give him a daughter of women to send destruction on him; but it will not last or be to his advantage.
Anih loe katoeng kaminawk to angmah khaeah hoi ueloe, prae thacakhaih boih hoiah aloih bang prae thungah akun hanah tha pathok tih; aloih bang ih siangpahrang to amrosak hanah, aluek bang ih siangpahrang mah nongpata maeto paek tih; toe nongpata mah anih han toksah pae mak ai, anih han atho doeh om mak ai.
18 After this shall he turn his face to the coastal regions, and shall capture many. But a commander shall bring his insolence to an end. In addition, he shall repay him for his insolence.
To pacoengah aluek bang siangpahrang loe tuipui thung ih praenawk bangah angqoi ueloe, kanoih parai kaminawk to naeh tih: toe misatuh angraeng maeto mah to kaminawk nuiah sak ih kahoih ai hmuen to amtuengsak han ai ah, a sak ih kahoih ai hmuen to misatuh siangpahrang nuiah krahsak lat tih.
19 Then he shall turn his attention toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found again.
To pacoengah anih loe sipae hoi takui ih misa abuephaih kaom angmah prae ah amlaem let tih; toe anih loe loklam ah amtimh tih, hnuk let han om mak ai boeh.
20 Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, though not in anger nor in battle.
Anih toksakhaih ahmuen toepkung aluek bang ih siangpahrang loe lensawk siangpahrang prae to caksak poe hanah, tamut cong kami khaeah tamut cong hanah lok to paek tih; toe saning akra ai ah anih loe palungphuihaih pongah na ai, misa angtukhaih pongah doeh na ai ah, anghma angtaa tih.
21 In his place shall arise a despicable person, to whom the honor of kingship had not been given, but he shall come in a time of prosperity, and shall obtain the kingdom through deceit.
Anih ih qawktoep hanah siangpahrang qawktoep kami ah suek ih siangpahrang ih acaeng ai, panuet thok kami maeto mah qawk to toep tih; toe anih loe tha patoh ai ah lunghoita hoiah angzo ueloe, kasae pacaenghaih hoiah prae to la tih.
22 And large armies shall be swept away and shattered before him, as well as the prince of the covenant.
Tui baktiah thacak misatuh kaminawk to a hma hoiah amrosak boih tih; ue, Sithaw lokmaihaih kasah zaehoikung angraeng doeh paduek tih.
23 And after an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall become strong with a small force.
To tiah anih mah angdaehaih to sah tih, toe alinghaih hoiah ni angdaehhaih to sah tih; kami zetta e, anih loe thacak tih.
24 In a time of prosperity he shall come even on the richest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor their fathers; he shall distribute among them plunder, and spoil, and property. He shall devise plans against their strongholds, but only for a time.
Anih loe misa angtukhaih om ai ah, poek ai pui hoiah caaknaek pop koek prae thungah akun tih; anih loe ampanawk hoi ampa ih ampanawk mah sak o vai ai ih hmuen to sah tih: a lak ih hmuenmae congcanawk to minawk hanah pazet tih; kacakah pakaa ih vangpui to atue setta thung lak hanah pacaeng tih.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall wage war in battle with an extremely large and powerful army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise plans against him.
Anih mah pop parai misatuh kami to pakhueng ueloe, misahoihaih hoiah aloih bang ih siangpahrang to tuh tih: aloih bang ih siangpahrang doeh kating ai pop misatuh kami thacakhaih hoiah misatuk hanah amsak toeng tih; toe aloih bang ih siangpahrang nuiah kasae sak han pacaeng o pongah, anih loe angdoe thai mak ai.
26 Yes, those who eat of his royal food shall seek to destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall slain.
Ue, angmah pacah ih kaminawk mah siangpahrang to hum o tih; to naah anih ih misatuh kaminawk loe anghma angtaa o tih; kating ai kaminawk dueh o tih.
27 As for both these kings, their minds shall be fixed on evil, and they shall speak lies at the table; but it shall not succeed; for still the end shall be at the appointed time.
Siangpahrang hnik loe kahoih ai hmuen to poek hoi ueloe, caboi maeto nuiah amsawnlok to thui hoi tih; toe atim hoi haih to koep thai mak ai: long boenghaih loe atue khaehhaih phak naah ni om tih.
28 Then shall he return into his land with great property; and his mind shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall take action, and then return to his own land.
To pacoengah aluek bang ih siangpahrang loe hmuenmae angraeng paraihaih hoiah angmah prae ah amlaem tih; to naah ciimcai lokmaihaih kasah Sithaw kaminawk to ut ueloe, hmuenmae koeh thaithue paro pae pacoengah ni angmah prae ah amlaem vop tih.
29 At the appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before.
Atue khaehhaih phak naah, anih loe aloih bang ih prae to tuk hanah angzo let tih; toe hmaloe ih baktiah om mak ai, hnukkhuem ih baktiah doeh om mak ai.
30 For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be intimidated, and shall turn back, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and shall take action. He shall turn back, and show regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
Kittim ih palongpuinawk mah anih to pakaa khoep ueloe, palungnat hoiah amlaem let tih; anih amlaem let naah, ciimcai Sithaw lokmaihaih, tiah doeh sah ai kaminawk hoiah ampui sah tih, anih loe palungphui loiah ciimcai Sithaw khaeah lokmaihaih sah kaminawk to paro tih.
31 Forces shall come at his order, and they shall profane the sanctuary and the fortress, and shall take away the daily burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that causes desolation.
Anih mah angmah ih misatuh kaminawk to pahruek ueloe, hmuenciim to amhnong sak tih; ni thokkruek sak ih angbawnhaih to pakaa o ving ueloe, to ahmuen ah kamrosak thaih panuet thok hmuen to suem o tih.
32 And those who act wickedly toward the covenant he shall corrupt by smooth words; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and take action.
Siangpahrang mah lokmaihaih tiah doeh sah ai kaminawk anih khaeah athum o thai hanah, alinghaih lok hoiah zoek tih; toe Sithaw panoek kaminawk loe thacakhaih hoiah anih ih lok to aek o tih.
33 And those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.
Kaminawk thung ih palungha kaminawk mah kanoih parai kaminawk to loklam patuek tih; toe nihcae loe pop parai ani thungah sumsen hoi humhaih, hmai hoi qoenghaih, misong ah naehhaih hoi hmuenmae lomhaih to tong o tih.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join with them insincerely.
To tiah nihcae raihaih tongh o naah, abomhaih zetta ni hnu o tih; toe poekcak ai kaminawk loe kami aling thaih kaminawk hoiah amzok o tih.
35 Some of those who are wise shall fall, to be refined, purified and cleansed until the time of the end; for the appointed time is still to come.
Atue boenghaih pha ai karoek to, nihcae thung ih thoemto panoekhaih tawn kaminawk to ciimsak moe, coek koi om ai ah anglungsak hanah, nihcae loe amtimh o tih; to hmuen loe anih mah atue khaehhaih karoek to om tih.
36 And the king shall do as he pleases. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak outrageous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is decreed shall be done.
Siangpahrang loe a koeh baktiah hmuen to sah tih, sithawnawk boih pong kasang ah angmah hoi angmah to amkoeh ueloe, amlue tih; anih mah sithawnawk ih Sithaw lok aekhaih to thui tih, anih loe Sithaw palungphuihaih akoep ai karoek to khosak hoih tih; to hmuen loe lok takroek tangcae ih baktiah om tih.
37 Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the one desired by women, nor show regard to any other god, because he shall magnify himself above all.
To siangpahrang loe ampanawk ih sithaw, nongpatanawk mah koeh ih kawbaktih sithaw doeh khingyahaih tawn mak ai; tih boih pong kasang ah angmah hoi angmah to amkoeh tih.
38 But instead he shall honor the god of fortresses; a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold and silver, and with valuable stones, and costly gifts.
Toe nihcae pakoeh zuengah misa buephaih kacak sipae to sithaw ah pakoeh tih; anih loe ampanawk mah panoek vai ai ih sithaw to pakoeh lat pongah, to sithaw to sui, sum kanglung, atho kana thlung, koeh koi kaom hmuenmaenawk hoiah khingyahaih paek tih.
39 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he shall grant considerable honor; and he shall make them rulers over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
Angmah panoek ih prae kalah sithaw bok kaminawk abomhaih rang hoiah, kacak parai misa angvaenghaih sipae to tuh tih, to tiah a lensawkhaih to sang aep tih: to kaminawk to ukkung ah suem ueloe, nihcae han prae to pazet tih.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south attack him. And the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall invade countries, and pass through like a flood.
Atue boenghaih phak naah loe aloih bang ih siangpahrang mah aluek bang ih siangpahrang to tuh tih; aluek bang ih siangpahrang loe hrang lakoknawk, hrang angthueng misatuh kaminawk, pop parai palongpuinawk hoiah angzo ueloe, anih to kamhae takhi baktiah tuh tih: to prae thungah tui kalong baktiah akun ueloe, nihcae to tuh pazawk tih.
41 He shall enter also into the beautiful land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.
Anih loe lensawk prae thungah doeh akun tih, pop parai prae kaminawk to dueh o tih; toe Edom, Moab hoi Ammon prae zaehoikungnawk loe anih ban thung hoi loih o tih.
42 He shall reach out his hand also on other countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
A thacakhaih ban hoiah pop parai praenawk to la tih, Izip prae doeh loih mak ai.
43 But he shall have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his feet.
Toe anih mah sui, sum kanglung hoi Izip prae thung ih atho kana hmuen congcanawk to la boih tih; Lybia hoi Ethiopia doeh pazawk tih.
44 But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with tremendous rage to destroy and utterly sweep away many.
Toe ni angyae bang hoi aluek bang ih tamthang mah anih to tasoehsak tih; to pongah anih loe palungphui parai ueloe, pop parai kaminawk hum hanah caeh tih.
45 And he shall pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with no one to help him.
Anih mah tuipui hoi lensawk ciimcai mae salakah kahni im to sah tih; toe anih loe bomkung tawn ai ah, boenghaih to pha tih.
