Daniel 2

1 Nebukhanezar ram kah a kum bae ah Nebukhanezar loh mang a man tih a mueihla a cahoeh dongah amah khaw a ih a hoelh pah.

And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, dreamed hath Nebuchadnezzar dreams, and his spirit doth move itself, and his sleep hath been against him;

2 Te dongah manghai loh hmayuep neh khungvatuk khaw, hlangbi neh manghai kah a mang aka thui la Khalden rhoek khaw khue hamla a thui pah. Te dongah a pha uh neh manghai mikhmuh ah pai uh.

and the king saith to call for scribes, and for enchanters, and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they come in and stand before the king;

3 Te vaengah manghai loh amih te, “Mang ka man tih mang te ming hamla ka mueihla a cahoeh,” a ti nah.

and the king saith to them, 'A dream I have dreamed, and moved is my spirit to know the dream.'

4 Khalden rhoek loh manghai te Aramaih ol la, “Manghai tah, dungyan la hing pai saeh. Mang Te na tueihyoeih rhoek taengah thui lamtah na tueihyoeih loh thuicaihnah ka phoe eh?,” a ti na uh.

And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaean, 'O king, to the ages live, tell the dream to thy servants, and the interpretation we do shew.'

5 Manghai loh a doo tih Khalden rhoek te, “Kai lamkah ol he cak coeng. Ka mang neh a thuicaihnah na mingpha sak pawt atah maehpoel la n'sah vetih na im Te kawnhnawt om ni.

The king hath answered and said to the Chaldeans, 'The thing from me is gone; if ye do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, pieces ye are made, and your houses are made dunghills;

6 Tedae mang neh a thuicaihnah te na phoe uh atah kai taeng lamkah kutdoe, thapang neh thangpomnah muep na dang uh ni. Mang neh a thuicaihnah Te kai taengah phoe uh dae,” a ti nah.

and if the dream and its interpretation ye do shew, gifts, and fee, and great glory ye receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation shew ye me.'

7 Koep a doo uh tih, “Manghai kah mang Te a tueihyoeih taengah thui saeh lamtah a thuicaihnah kam phoe uh eh,” a ti na uh.

They have answered a second time, and are saying, 'Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and the interpretation we do shew.

8 Manghai loh a doo tih, “Kai lamkah ol a cak te na hmuh dongah nangmih a tue na yuengyet uh tila rhep ka ming.

The king hath answered and said, 'Of a truth I know that time ye are gaining, because that ye have seen that the thing is gone from me,

9 Ka mang te na mingpha sak uh pawt atah nangmih oltlueh pakhat ni a om. Laithae ol neh a tue a hoilae hil ka taengah a hong thui ham na cai khaw na cai uh. Mang Te kai taengah thui uh dae lamtah kai hamla a thuingaihnah nan phoe uh te ka ming eh?,”a ti nah.

[so] that, if the dream ye do not cause me to know — one is your sentence, seeing a word lying and corrupt ye have prepared to speak before me, till that the time is changed, therefore the dream tell ye to me, then do I know that its interpretation ye do shew me.'

10 Manghai taengkah Khalden rhoek loh a doo uh tih, “Manghai kah ol phoe hamla aka noeng te diklai ah hlang a om moenih. Boeilen neh aka hung manghai boeih long khaw he bang ol he hmayuep, rhaitonghma neh Khalden boeih he a dawt noek moenih.

The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are saying, 'There is not a man on the earth who is able to shew the king's matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, hath asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean;

11 Manghai kah a dawt he tongmang ol tih manghai taengah te aka phoe thai he pakhat khaw a om moenih. Pathen rhoek pawt atah amih pumsa lakli kah khosaknah he te bang a om moenih,” a ti uh.

and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and others are there not that do shew it before the king, save the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.'

12 He kong dongah he manghai tah sai tih a thintoek muep. Te dongah Babylon hlang cueih boeih te thup hamla a thui.

Therefore the king hath been angry and very wroth, and hath said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;

13 Hlang cueih ngawn hamla oltlueh a khuen dongah Daniel neh a hui khaw ngawn hamla a tlap uh.

And the sentence hath gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.

14 Te dongah Babylon hlang cueih te ngawn hamla aka cet manghai kah imtawt boeilen Aryawk Te Daniel loh khuelnah neh saithainah neh a mael sak.

Then Daniel hath replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who hath gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.

15 Manghai aka hung Aryawk te a doo tih, “Balae tih manghai taeng lamkah oltlueh he a tok aih?” a ti nah hatah ol Te Aryawk loh Daniel te a ming sak.

He hath answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, 'Wherefore [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?' Then Arioch hath made the thing known to Daniel,

16 Te dongah Daniel Te cet tih amah te a tue a paek phoeiah thuingaihnah Te manghai mah taengah thui pah hamla manghai taengah a bih.

and Daniel hath gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to shew the interpretation to the king.

17 Te phoeiah Daniel Te a im la mael tih a hui rhoek Hananiah, Mishael neh Azariah taengah olka te a thuicaih pah.

Then Daniel to his house hath gone, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he hath made the thing known,

18 He oldung dongah Daniel neh a hui rhoek neh Babylon kah hlang cueih a ngen Te thup pawt hamla vaan Pathen taeng lamkah haidamnah a bih.

and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret, that they destroy not Daniel and his companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19 Te khoyin kah mangthui dongah tah Daniel taengah oldung te a thoeng pah. Te dongah Daniel loh vaan kah Pathen te a koeh.

Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret hath been revealed. Then hath Daniel blessed the God of the heavens.

20 Daniel loh a doo tih, “Pathen tah a ming om pai saeh, khosuen lamloh kumhal duela a yoethen pai. Cueihnah neh thayung thamal khaw amah kah ni.

Daniel hath answered and said, 'Let the name of God be blessed from age even unto age, for wisdom and might — for they are His.

21 Amah loh a tue neh khoning a hoilae. Manghai rhoek te a khoe tih manghai patoeng a thoh. Aka cueih taengah cueihnah neh yakmingnah aka thuicaih taengah mingnah a paek.

And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.

22 Amah loh a thuuk neh a thuh khaw a tueng sak. Hmuepnah neh vangnah khuikah te khaw a ming. Te dongah vangnah tah anih taengah om.

He is revealing deep and hidden things; He hath known what [is] in darkness, and light with Him hath dwelt.

23 A pa rhoek kah Pathen namah te kang uem tih kang oep. Kai he ka taengah cueihnah neh thayung thamal nan paek. Namah taengah kam bih bangla kai nan ming sak coeng tih manghai kah olka te kaimih nan ming sak,” a ti.

Thee, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might Thou hast given to me; and now, Thou hast caused me to know that which we have sought from Thee, for the king's matter Thou hast caused us to know.'

24 Te dongah he kong neh Daniel Te manghai loh a hmoel tih Babylon hlang cueih rhoek thup hamla aka cet Aryawk taengla cet. Te phoeiah anih te, “Babylon hlang cueih rhoek te thup boeh, kai he manghai taengla n'hui lamtah a thuingaihnah Te manghai taengah ka phoe eh?,” a ti nah.

Therefore Daniel hath gone up unto Arioch, whom the king hath appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he hath gone, and thus hath said to him, 'The wise men of Babylon thou dost not destroy, bring me up before the king, and the interpretation to the king I do shew.'

25 Te dongah Aryawk loh Daniel te manghai taengah thintawn la a khuen tih, “Manghai taengah a thuingaihnah thuicaih hamla Judah hlangsol koca lamkah hlang ka hmuh,” a ti nah.

Then Arioch in haste hath brought up Daniel before the king, and thus hath said to him — 'I have found a man of the sons of the Removed of Judah, who the interpretation to the king doth make known.'

26 Manghai loh a doo tih Daniel la a ming aka om Belteshazzar te, “Na om pai a? Mang ka man neh a thuingaihnah Te kai taengah thuicaih hamla aka noeng, na om rhoe a?” a ti nah.

The king hath answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, 'Art thou able to cause me to know the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?'

27 Daniel loh manghai taengah a doo tih, “Manghai kah na dawt he oldung tih manghai taengah phoe hamla aka noeng hlang cueih, rhaitonghma, hmayuep rhoek, aisi aka suep a om moenih.

Daniel hath answered before the king and said, 'The secret that the king is asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the scribes, the soothsayers, are not able to shew to the king;

28 Tedae oldung aka tueng he vaan ah Pathen om tih hmailong khohnin ah metla a om ham khaw manghai Nebukhadnezzar te na thingkong dongah na mang neh na lu dongkah mangthui neh he he han thuicaih coeng.

but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. 'Thy dream and the visions of thy head on thy bed are these:

29 Manghai nang, na thingkong dongkah na poeknah Te he lamloh aka om la thoeng coeng. Aka om ham te ni oldung aka tueng loh nang m'ming sak.

Thou, O king, thy thoughts on thy bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets hath caused thee to know that which [is] to be.

30 Kai khaw ka taengah oldung a tueng he khaw mulhing boeih lakah kamah kah cueihnah a om dongah moenih. Tedae te kong dongah he a thuingaihnah Te manghai taengah a thuicaih vetih na thinko kah poeknah loh a ming nah ham ni.

As to me — not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living hath this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of thy heart thou dost know.

31 Manghai nang, na hmuh tih na om coeng. Na mikhmuh ah muei pakhat la aka pai te. Tekah muei tah len sang tih a aa yet. A suisak mah rhimom coeng.

'Thou, O king, wast looking, and lo, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing over-against thee, and its appearance [is] terrible.

32 Te muei kah a lu Te sui cim, a rhang neh a ban rhoiTe cak, a bung neh a phai rhoi tah rhohum,

This image! its head [is] of good gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass;

33 A khotanlan rhoiTe thi, a khobom Te a ngawncawn Te thi tih a ngawncawn dikpo la om.

its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.

34 Na sawt li vaengah kut loh a saii mueh lungto Te coe tih muei Te a khobom dongkah a dae. Te vaengah thi neh dikpo khaw phaeng a nuei pah.

Thou wast looking till that a stone hath been cut out without hands, and it hath smitten the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it hath broken them small;

35 Te phoeiah thi, dikpo, rhohum, cak neh sui khaw pakhat la phaeng nuei uh. Te dongah khohal cangtil hmuen kah cangkik bangla om tih te rhoekTe khohli loh a yawn. Te dongah te rhoek te a hmuen boeih hmu voel pawh. Tedae muei dongah aka cu lungto te tlang sang la poeh tih diklai pum ah bae.

then broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and carried them away hath the wind, and no place hath been found for them: and the stone that smote the image hath become a great mountain, and hath filled all the land.

36 Mang kah a thuingaihnah Te manghai taengah ka thui uh pawn eh.

This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we do tell before the king.

37 Manghai nang, namah he manghai rhoek kah manghai ni. Vaan kah Pathen loh ram neh thadueng khaw, sarhi neh thangpomnah khaw namah taengah m'paek coeng.

'Thou, O king, art a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, hath given to thee;

38 Khosa, khosa boeih khuikah hlang koca rhoek khaw, kohong rhamsa neh vaan kah vaa khaw na kut ah m'paek. A cungkuem soah nang m'boei sak tih nang Te na lu sui la hang khueh.

and whithersoever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the fowl of the heavens, He hath given into thy hand, and hath caused thee to rule over them all; thou [art] this head of gold.

39 Nang phoeiah tah nang lakah diklai la aka yalh ram pakhat pai ni. A pathum dongkah ram tahrhohum vetih diklai boeih soah boei ni.

And after thee doth rise up another kingdom lower than those, and another third kingdom of brass, that doth rule overall the earth.

40 A pali kah ram tah thi ning bangla om ni. He kong ah he thi loh a neet tih boeih a noeng. Te dongah thi bangla a cungkuem he a phop coeng tih a nuei a pil la om ni.

And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all [things], even as iron that is breaking all these, it beateth small and breaketh.

41 Na hmuh bangla khobom neh khodawn tah a ngawncawn Te ambop kah dikpo tih a ngawncawn thi. A khuiah thi dongkah thacang om cakhaw ram te aka rhek aka boe la om ni. Te kong ah ni thi neh laicang dikpo neh a thoek na hmuh.

As to that which thou hast seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter's clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron [is] to be in it, because that thou hast seen the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 Khobom dongkah khodawn khaw a ngawncawn, a ngawncawn thi tih, a ngawncawn a ngawncawn tah dikpo. Te dongah ram ngawncawn te a ning la om vetih a ngawncawn tah a poo la om ni.

As to the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle.

43 Na hmuh bangla thi neh laicang dikpo a thoek dongah hlang kah tiingan thoek uh ni. Tedae neh thi neh dikpo a thoek thai pawt bangla he neh ke khaw aka pitpom uh la om mahpawh.

Because thou hast seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering one with another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

44 Vaan Pathen loh manghai rhoek te amamih tue vaengah a pai sak vetih a ram tah kumhal due la tim mahpawh. Ram Te pilnam tloe taengah a nuei la hlah mahpawh. Ram boeih he tlum cakhaw te tah kumhal duela cak ni.

'And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed — to the age, and its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age.

45 He kong dongah tlang lamkah kut neh saii mueh lungto a coe na hmuh. Te dongah thi, rhohum, dikpo, cak neh sui khaw vingving nuei. Boeilen Pathen loh tahae lamloh aka om ham te manghai taengah m'ming sak. Te dongah mang he tong tih a thuingaihnah uepom coeng,” a ti nah.

Because that thou hast seen that out of the mountain cut hath been a stone without hands, and it hath beaten small the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation stedfast.

46 Te dongah manghai Nebukhadnezzar loh a maelhmai longah buluk tih Daniel taengah bakop. Te dongah khosaa neh a hlihlim Te a taengah doe ham a thui pah.

Then hath king Nebuchadnezzar fallen on his face, and to Daniel he hath done obeisance, and present, and sweet things, he hath said to pour out to him.

47 Manghai loh Daniel te a doo tih, “Nangmih kah Pathen tah oltak pai ni. Pathen rhoek kah Pathen, manghai rhoek kah Boeipa ni. He oldung tueng hamla na noeng dongah ni oldung he nan tueng,” a ti nah.

The king hath answered Daniel and said, 'Of a truth [it is] that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou hast been able to reveal this secret.'

48 Te phoeiah manghai loh Daniel te a pomsang tih anih te boeilen kutdoe muep a paek. Babylon paeng pum soah anih te a boei sak tih Babylon hlang cueih boeih lakah boeilen khoboei la a khueh.

Then the king hath made Daniel great, and many great gifts he hath given to him, and hath caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the perfects over all the wise men of Babylon.

49 Daniel loh manghai taengah a bih tih Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego rhoek te Babylon paeng kah taemnah soah a khueh. Te vaengah Daniel tah manghai vongka ah kho a sak.

And Daniel hath sought from the king, and he hath appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.
