Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
Persia siangpahrang Cyrus angraenghaih saning thumto haih naah, Belteshazzar, tiah kawk ih Daniel khaeah, hmuen maeto amtueng; hnuksak ih hmuen loe tangtang ah oh, toe atue loe sawk parai; anih mah to hmuen kawng to panoek, hnuksakhaih doeh panoek thaih.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
Kai, Daniel loe to atue zarh thumto thung palungsethaih hoiah ka oh.
3 I ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Zarh thumto koep ai karoek to, caaknaek kahoih ah kaom takaw, moi hoi misurtuinawk roe ka pataengh ai, situi doeh kang nok ai.
4 In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
Khrah tangsuekhaih ni pumphae palito naah, kai loe Hiddekel, tiah kawk ih Tigris vapui taengah kang doet;
5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.
ka khet tahang naah puu ngan laihaw angkhuk, kaeng ah kaciim sui kaengkaeh kangzaeng, kami maeto ka hnuk:
6 His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
a takpum loe beryl thlung baktiah oh, a mikhmai loe tangphrapuek aengh baktiah ampha, a mik loe kangqong hmai baktiah oh, a ban hoi khok loe sum kamling baktiah ampha, a lok loe pop parai kaminawk ih lok baktiah oh.
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Hnuksakhaih loe kai, Daniel khue mah ni hnuk, kai hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk loe hnu o ai; nihcae loe paroeai zit o pongah anghawk hanah cawnh o ving.
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
To pongah kai ang caeh o taak, hae kalen parai hnuksakhaih to ka khet naah, tha ka zok sut; mikhmai doeh duek sut moe, tha roe ka tawn ai.
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face towards the ground.
Toe a thuih ih lok to ka thaih, a thuih ih lok ka thaih naah, long ah ka kuep moe, ka iih.
10 Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
Khenah, ban maeto mah kai ang sui, ka banpadae hoi khokkhu hoiah kai ang pathawk tahang.
11 He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
Anih mah kai khaeah, Paroeai palung koi kaom, Aw Daniel, angdoe tahang ah loe, kang thuih ih loknawk to thaikop ah; vaihi nang khaeah kai ang patoeh boeh, tiah ang naa. Anih mah kai khaeah to tiah lok ang thuih pacoengah, kai loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah kang doet.
12 Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
To naah anih mah, Daniel, zii hmah: panoek thaihaih tawnh hanah, na Sithaw hmaa ah poek pahnaemhaih hoi lawk na thuih tangsuek niah na thuih ih lok to ang thaih pae boeh; na thuih ih loknawk pongah ni kang zoh.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Toe Persia siangpahrang khaeah ka oh naah, Persia prae ukkung angraeng mah ni pumphaeto pacoeng, nito thung kai ang pakaa: toe khenah, kai abomh hanah kalen koek toksah angraengnawk thung ih angraeng maeto ah kaom, Michael to angzoh.
14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
Hnuksakhaih loe hmabang angzo han koi atuenawk to hnuksak pongah, nangmah ih kaminawk nuiah kaom han koi hmuen panoeksak han ih ni, vaihi nang khaeah kang zoh, tiah ang naa.
15 When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face towards the ground and was mute.
To tiah lok cae ang thuih pacoengah, kai loe mikhmai long ah ka kuep, lok ka pae thai ai.
16 Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.
Khenah, kami capa hoi kanghmong kami maeto mah, kai ih pahni to sui, to naah ka pakha to amongh moe, lok ka thuih, Aw ka Angraeng, hnuksakhaih pongah palung ka set moe, tha ka tawn ai, tiah ka hma ah angdoe anih khaeah ka thuih.
17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”
Kawbang maw na tamna mah ka angraeng khaeah lokthui thai tih? Tha ka tawn ai boeh, ka hinghaih takhi doeh amsah hawk boeh, tiah ka naa.
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
To pacoengah kami hoi kanghmong maeto angzoh let moe, kai ang sui, anih mah kai tha ang caksak.
19 He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
Anih mah, Aw paroeai palung koi kaom kami, zii hmah: na nuiah monghaih om nasoe! Thacaksak ah, ue, na tha caksak lai ah! tiah ang naa. Anih mah lok ang thuih pacoengah, thacakhaih ka tawnh, to naah anih khaeah, ka angraeng lok na thui ah, tha nang caksak boeh, tiah ka naa.
20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
To pongah anih mah, tipongah nang khaeah kang zoh, tito na panoek maw? Persia ukkung angraeng hoi misa angtuk hanah vaihi kam laem let han boeh; ka caeh pacoengah, khenah, Grik ukkung angraeng to angzo tih.
21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.
Toe loktang cabu thungah tarik ih lok to kang hnuksak han vop: na angraeng Michael khue ai ah loe, hae kaminawk misatuk hanah kai thapaek kami mi doeh om ai, tiah ang naa.
