< Daniel 5 >

1 Belshazzar siangpahrang mah angmah ih angraeng sangto hanah kalen parai buh raenghaih to sak pae moe, angraengnawk hoi nawnto misurtui to a naek.
BELSHAZZAR the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Belsahazzar mah misurtui pataeng pacoengah, angmah ih angraeng kalennawk, a zunawk, a zulanawk hoi nawnto misurtui a naek hanah, ampa Nebuchadnezzar mah Jerusalem tempul thung hoiah lak ih sui, sum kanglung hoi sak ih boengloengnawk to anih khaeah sin pae o hanah lok a paek.
Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
3 To pongah nihcae mah Jerusalem Sithaw im tempul thung hoi lak ih sui boengloengnawk to sin pae o; to pacoengah siangpahrang angmah hoi angmah ih angraengnawk, a zunawk hoi zulanawk loe to sui boengloeng hoiah misurtui to naek o.
Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
4 Misurtui a naek o moe sui, sum kanglung, sum kamling, sum, thing, thlung hoiah sak ih sithawnawk to pakoeh o.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Akra ai ah kami maeto ih banpazung to amtueng moe, siangpahrang imthung hmaithawk paaanghaih taeng ih tapang nuiah ca to tarik; to tiah ca tarik banpazung to siangpahrang mah hnuk.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Siangpahrang loe zit loiah mikhmai set, anih kaenghuh to amkhraeng pae ving moe, a khokkhu doeh thazok pae sut.
Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
7 To naah siangpahrang mah cakaeh khet kop kaminawk, Khaldian kaminawk hoi lungh aat thaih kaminawk to angmah khaeah kawk. Babylon prae ih palungha kaminawk khaeah, Mi kawbaktih doeh hae tarik ih ca kroek thaih moe, a thuih koehhaih leh thaih kami loe rong kamling khukbuen hoiah kam thoepsak han, tahnong ah sui bungmu ka oihsak moe, siangpahrang ukhaih prae thungah kasang koek thumto haih ukkung ah ka suek han, tiah a naa.
The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
8 To naah siangpahrang ih palungha kaminawk boih angzoh o; toe tarik ih ca to kroek pae o thai ai moe, a thuih koehhaih doeh siangpahrang han leh pae o thai ai.
Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
9 Belshazzar siangpahrang loe mawnh loiah mikhmai set moe, angam sut, anih ih toksah angraengnawk doeh dawnrai o sut boeh.
Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
10 Siangpahrang zu mah siangpahrang hoi anih ih toksah angraengnawk ih lok to thaih naah, buhcaakhaih imthung ah a caeh; siangpahrang zu mah anih khaeah, Aw siangpahrang, na hinglung sawk nasoe; mawn khing hmah loe, na mikhmai doeh saesak hmah!
Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
11 Na prae thungah kaciim sithawnawk ih muithla katawn kami maeto oh; nam pa hing naah doeh, kami nuiah sithaw palunghahaih baktiah palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih to amtueng boeh; nam pa, siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar, nam pa siangpahrang mah, anih to miklet kop kaminawk, cakaeh khet kop kaminawk, lungh aat thaih kaminawk hoi khaldian kaminawk ukkung ah a suek;
There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
12 siangpahrang mah Belteshazzar, tiah ahmin phui ih Daniel loe poekhaih palungthin, panoekhaih hoi kasang koek panoek thaihaih tawn kami, amang leh thaihaih, panoek karai hmuennawk pathlaeng kami, palung haenghaihnawk thuicaikung ah oh. Daniel to kawk ah, anih mah a thuih koehhaih to na leh pae tih hmang, tiah a naa.
Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
13 To pongah Daniel to siangpahrang hma ah caeh o haih. Siangpahrang mah, Nang loe kam pa siangpahrang mah, naeh ih Judah kaminawk thungah kathum Daniel maw? tiah a naa.
Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
14 Na thungah sithawnawk ih muithla to oh moe, panoek thaihaih hoi kasang koek palunghahaih tawn kami ah na oh, tiah ka thaih.
I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
15 Vaihi haeah tarik ih ca hae kroek moe, a thuih koehhaih leh hanah palungha kaminawk hoi cakaeh khet kop kaminawk, ka hma ah angzoh o haih; toe nihcae mah a thuih koehhaih to na leh pae o thai ai:
And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:
16 nang mah loe a thuih koehhaih leh thaih moe, karai parai hmuennawk doeh pathlaeng thaih, tiah ka thaih; tarik ih ca hae na kroek thaih moe, a thuih koehhaih nang leh pae thaih nahaeloe, rong kamling khukbuen to kang khuksak han, sui bungmu kang oihsak moe, siangpahrang ukhaih prae thungah kasang koek thumto haih ukkung ah kang ohsak han, tiah a naa.
And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
17 To naah Daniel mah siangpahrang khaeah, Tangqumnawk loe nangmah hanah suem ah, to tih ai boeh loe minawk kalah han paek halat ah; toe tarik ih ca loe siangpahrang hanah kang kroek pae moe, a thuih koehhaih doeh kang leh pae han, tiah a naa.
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 Aw siangpahrang, Kasang koek Sithaw mah, lensawkhaih, thacakhaih hoi pakoehhaih to nam pa Nebuchadnezzar khaeah paek.
O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
19 Lensawk thacakhaih anih hanah paek pongah, kaminawk boih, prae kaminawk, lok congca apae kaminawk loe anih hma ah tasoeh takuenhaih, zithaih hoiah oh o. Siangpahrang loe hum han koeh ih kami to a hum; hingsak han koeh ih kami to a hingsak; ahmuen kasang ah suek han koeh ih kami to a suek; atlim ah pakhrak han koeh ih kami to pakhrak.
And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
20 Toe poekhaih to sang moe, amoekhaih hoiah palung amtaak naah loe, siangpahrang angdoethaih ahmuen hoiah pakhrak tathuk moe, a lensawkhaih to khring pae ving:
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
21 anih loe kaminawk salak hoiah haek ving ah oh moe, taw ih kasan moi ih palungthin to a paek, anih loe taw ih hrangnawk hoi nawnto khosak; kaminawk ih prae loe kasang koek Sithaw mah uk moe, angmah paek koeh ih kami to a paek, tiah panoek ai karoek to, maitaw baktiah qam to a caaksak, van ih dantui hoiah takpum to a suisak.
And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
22 Nang loe anih ih capa, Aw Belshazzar, hmuenanwk boih na panoek, toe poekhaih palungthin na pahnaem ai;
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
23 nam oek moe, van Angraeng to misa ah na suek; anih tempul thung ih boengloengnawk to na hma ah na sinsak; to ih boengloengnawk hoiah nangmah hoi nangmah ih angraengnawk, na zunawk hoi na zulanawk anwnto misurtui na naek o; sui, sum kanglung, sum kamling, sum, thing, thlung hoiah sak ih tidoeh thaih kophaih tawn ai, hnu thai ai, panoek thai ai sithawnawk to na pakoeh o. Na hinghaih hoi na caehhaih loklamnawk boih ban hoi patawnkung Sithaw to na pakoeh o ai;
But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
24 to pongah hae ca tarik hanah, a ban to ang patoeh.
Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
25 Ca loe MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN, tiah tarik.
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 Hae lok thuih koehhaih loe hae tiah oh: MENE: Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah na ohhaih ni to pakoep moe, boengsak boeh.
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 TEKEL: nang to coih ang tah naah, na vawt sut boeh.
TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 PERES: na ukhaih prae loe koih boeh moe, Median hoi Persia kaminawk khaeah paek ving boeh, tiah a naa.
PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 To pacoeng loe Belshazzar lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, Daniel to rong kamling khukbuen angkhuk o sak, tahnong ah sui bungmu a oih o sak moe, prae thungah kasang koek thumto haih ukkung ah taphong o.
Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 To na ni aqum ah Babylon kaminawk ih siangpahrang, Belshazzar to hum o.
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 Saning qui taruk, hnetto phak naah, Median kami Darius mah siangpahrang ih prae to lak pae ving.
And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
