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, Nebuchadnezzar has dreamed dreams, and his spirit moves itself, and his sleep has 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 says to call for enchanters, and for conjurers, 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 says to them, “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is moved 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 nauh.
And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaic, “O king, live for all ages, tell the dream to your servants, and we show the interpretation.”
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 has answered and said to the Chaldeans, “The thing is gone from me; if you do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, you are made pieces, 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 you show, gifts, and fee, and great glory you receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation you show 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 nauh.
They have answered a second time, and are saying, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we show the interpretation.”
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 has answered and said, “Of a truth I know that you are gaining time, because that you 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 you do not cause me to know the dream—one is your sentence, seeing a lying and corrupt word you have prepared to speak before me, until the time is changed, therefore tell the dream to me, then I know that you show me its interpretation.”
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 show the king’s matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, has 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 there are no others that show it before the king, except 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 has been furious and very angry, and has 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 has 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 has replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who has 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 has answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, “Why [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?” Then Arioch has 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 has gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to show 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 has gone to his house, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he has 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 do not destroy 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 has been revealed. Then Daniel has 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 has answered and said, “Let the Name of God be blessed from age even to 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 has known what [is] in darkness, and light has dwelt with Him.
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.
You, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might You have given to me; and now, You have caused me to know that which we have sought from You, for the king’s matter You have 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 has gone up to Arioch, whom the king has appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he has gone, and thus has said to him, “You do not destroy the wise men of Babylon, bring me up before the king, and I show the interpretation to the king.”
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 has brought up Daniel before the king, and thus has said to him, “I have found a man of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, who makes known the interpretation to the king.”
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 has answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, “Are you 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 has 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 show 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 has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your 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.
You, O king, your thoughts on your bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets has caused you 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 for me—not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living has this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of your heart you 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.
You, O king, were looking, and behold, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing before you, and its appearance [is] terrible.
32 Te muei kah a lu te sui cim, a rhang neh a ban rhoi te cak, a bung neh a phai rhoi tah rhohum,
This image! Its head [is] of fine gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze;
33 A khotanlan rhoi te 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.
You were looking until a stone has been cut out without hands, and it has struck the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it has 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 rhoek te 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 bronze, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and the wind has carried them away, and no place has been found for them: and the stone that struck the image has become a great mountain, and has 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 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.
You, O king, are a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, has given to you;
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 wherever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the bird of the heavens, He has given into your hand, and has caused you to rule over them all; you [are] 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 you another kingdom arises lower than those, and another third kingdom of bronze, that rules over all 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 beats small and breaks.
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 for that which you have 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 you have 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 for 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 you have seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering with one 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 the God of the heavens raises up a kingdom that is not destroyed for all time, and its kingdom is not left to another people: it beats small and ends all these kingdoms, and it stands for all time.
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 you have seen that out of the mountain a stone has been cut without hands, and it has beaten the iron small, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation steadfast.”
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 King Nebuchadnezzar has fallen on his face, and to Daniel he has done homage, and present, and sweet things, he has 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 has 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 you have 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 has made Daniel great, and many great gifts he has given to him, and has caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the prefects 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 has sought from the king, and he has appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.
