1 Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim a bawinae a kum thum nah, Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni Jerusalem kho a thosin teh, king a kalup.
In the thirde yeere of the reigne of Iehoiakim king of Iudah, came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel vnto Ierusalem and besieged it.
2 BAWIPA ni Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim hoi bawkim dawk e hnopainaw a tangawn hah Nebukhadnezar kut dawk a poe. Nebukhadnezar ni a man e naw hah, Babilon kho kaawm e amamae bawkim thung a hrawi teh, hnopainaw hah hnopai im dawk a hruek awh.
And ye Lord gaue Iehoiakim king of Iudah into his hand; with parte of the vessels of the house of God, which he caryed into the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into his gods treasurie.
3 Hat toteh, siangpahrang ni tuenlanaw dueng dawk kacuelah kaawm e Asphenaz hah a kaw teh,
And the King spake vnto Ashpenaz the master of his Eunuches, that he shoulde bring certeine of the children of Israel, of the Kings seede, and of the princes:
4 Isarelnaw man e naw thung dawk hoi, a takthai kahawi e, a mei kahawi e, kamtu thai e, a lawkdei kahawi e, panuenae dawk a hue karang e naw hoi, siangpahrang im dawk thaw tawk han kamcu e nawsainaw hah na rawi han. Hahoi, Khaldean ca hoi lawk hah na cangkhai han atipouh.
Children in whome was no blemish, but well fauoured, and instruct in all wisedome, and well seene in knowledge, and able to vtter knowledge, and such as were able to stande in the kings palace, and whome they might teach the learning, and the tongue of the Caldeans.
5 Siangpahrang e rawca hah kum thum totouh hnintangkuem paca hnukkhu, siangpahrang im thaw a tawk awh han.
And the King appointed them prouision euery day of a portion of the Kings meate, and and of the wine, which he dranke, so nourishing them three yeere, that at the ende thereof, they might stande before the King.
6 Hotnaw thung dawkvah, Judah tami Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, hoi Azariah tinaw a kâpa awh.
Nowe among these were certeine of the children of Iudah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
7 Tuenla e naw kaukkung ni, ahnimanaw hah a min koung athung pouh. Daniel hah Belteshazzar, Hananiah hah Shadrak, Mishael hah Meshak, Azariah hah Abednego atipouh awh.
Vnto whome the chiefe of the Eunuches gaue other names: for hee called Daniel, Belteshazzar, and Hananiah, Shadrach, and Mishael, Meshach, and Azariah, Abednego.
8 Daniel ni siangpahrang e rawca hoi misur canei e lahoi kakhin hoeh nahanelah, hot patet e rawca hah na paca hanh loe telah tuenlanaw kaukkung koe a kâhei.
But Daniel had determined in his heart, that hee woulde not defile him selfe with the portion of the Kings meate, nor with the wine which he dranke: therefore he required the chiefe of the Eunuches that he might not defile himselfe.
9 Cathut pahren lahoi tuenlanaw kaukkung ni Daniel hah a pahren eiteh, ka bawipa ni nangmae rawca mitkhet hanelah, a hruek e hah kai hai ka taki van.
(Nowe God had brought Daniel into fauour, and tender loue with the chiefe of the Eunuches)
10 Ahni ni nouh nangmouh hanlah rawcarawnei naw hah a hmoun. Nangmae minhmai teh alouke nawsainaw e minhmai patetlah a meihawi hoeh e hah ka bawipa ni hmawt pawiteh, nangmouh kecu dawk kai teh ka lahuen a thawk toe, telah Daniel koe a dei pouh.
And the chiefe of the Eunuches sayd vnto Daniel, I feare my lord the King, who hath appointed your meate and your drinke: therefore if he see your faces worse liking then the other children, which are of your sort, then shall you make me lose mine head vnto the King.
11 Hattoteh Daniel ni, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah tinaw ka khenyawn hanelah tuenlanaw kaukkung ni a hruek e rawca mitkhenkung koevah,
Then sayd Daniel to Melzar, whome the chiefe of the Eunuches had set ouer Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 kaimouh hanelah rawca hah anhla hoi tui maha hnin hra touh thung na poe na teh na tanouk haw.
Proue thy seruants, I beseeche thee, ten dayes, and let them giue vs pulse to eate, and water to drinke.
13 Hathnukkhu kaimae minhmai hoi siangpahrang rawca ka catnet e nawsainaw e minhmai hah khen nateh na hmu e patetlah thaw tawk haw atipouh.
Then let our countenances bee looked vpon before thee, and the countenances of the children that eate of the portion of the Kings meate: and as thou seest, deale with thy seruantes.
14 Rawca mitkhenkung nihai, a lungkuep teh hnin hra touh a tanouk.
So hee consented to them in this matter, an proued them ten dayes.
15 Hnin hra touh akuep toteh, ahnimae minhmai teh rawca ka catnet e nawsainaw e minhmai hlak a meihawi awh teh, phuekuek lah ao awh.
And at the end of ten dayes, their countenances appeared fayrer, and in better liking then all the childrens, which did eate the portion of the Kings meate.
16 Hat toteh, rawca mitkhenkung ni ahnimouh hanelah, a hmoun e rawca hoi misurtui hah a takhoe teh anhla hoi duengdoeh a kawk toe.
Thus Melzar tooke away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drinke, and gaue them pulse.
17 Cathut ni hote nawsainaw pali touh hah panuenae, ca thoumnae hoi kamtu e pueng thoum thainae hah a poe. Daniel teh vision hoi mangnaw pueng hai a panue thai.
As for these foure children, God gaue them knowledge, and vnderstanding in al learning and wisedome: also he gaue Daniel vnderstanding of all visions and dreames.
18 Siangpahrang im a kâen nahane atueng khoe e akuep toteh, tuenlanaw kaukkung ni nawsainaw hah a kaw teh siangpahrang im thung a kâenkhai.
Nowe when the time was expired, that the King had appoynted to bring them in, the chiefe of the Eunuches brought them before Nebuchad-nezzar.
19 Siangpahrang ni hote nawsainaw a pacei pakaw hnukkhu Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah tinaw hoi kâvan e buet touh hai ao awh hoeh dawkvah, ahnimanaw teh, siangpahrang koe thaw tawk hane kâ a hmu awh.
And the King communed with them: and among them al was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stoode they before the king.
20 Siangpahrang ni a pacei e panuenae puenghoi thoumthainae pueng dawkvah, a ram thung kaawm e mitpaleikathoum e, kut khet ka thoum e naw pueng hlak let hra touh hoi a thoum awh e hah a hmu.
And in all matters of wisedome, and vnderstanding that the King enquired of them, hee founde them tenne times better then all the inchanters and astrologians, that were in all his realme.
21 Daniel teh Sairas siangpahrang a bawinae apasuek kum totouh ao.
And Daniel was vnto the first yeere of king Cyrus.
