Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar siangpahrang ni, a bawinaw 1,000 touh a kaw teh, ahnimouh hanelah pawi kalenpoung a to pouh teh, ahnimouh hoi misurtui rei a nei awh.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Misur tui a patek navah Belshazzar ni, apa ni Jerusalem bawkim thung e a lawp e sui manang, ngun manangnaw dawk hoi, siangpahrang hoi a bawinaw, a yu hoi adonaw ni misurtui nei nahanelah thokhai awh telah kâ a poe.
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 Hat toteh, Cathut e bawkim thung e a lawp awh e suimanangnaw hah a la awh teh, siangpahrang hoi a bawinaw, a yu hoi adonaw ni hote manangnaw hoi misurtui a nei na awh.
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 Misur tui a nei awh teh, sui cathut, ngun cathut, rahum cathut, sum cathut, thing cathut, talung cathutnaw hah a pholen awh.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Hatnae tueng nah, tami e a kutdawn a tâco teh, hmaiimkhok lathueng, siangpahrang im tapang dawk a kâthut teh, hottelah ka thut e kutdawn hah siangpahrang ni a hmu.
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 Hattoteh siangpahrang mei det a kamlang teh, a khopouk a ru dawkvah, a kenghru meimei doukkâlat lah ao teh, a khokpakhu thouk a kâkhawng pouh.
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 Camkathoum e Khaldean taminaw hoi khueyuenaw hah kaw awh telah puenghoi a hram. Hote ca hah a touk vaiteh a ngainae ka dei thai e tami teh, hnipaling kâkhu sak han, sui dingyin a lahuen dawk awi sak han, uknaeram thung vah apâthum e bawi, lawkcengkung lah ao han a ti.
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 Tami kathoumthainaw pueng teh a tho awh. Hatei hote ca hah touk thai awh hoeh. A deingainae hai pâpho thai awh hoeh.
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 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang Belshazzar teh, khopouk aru lawi a mei det a kamlang teh, a bawinaw puenghai muen ati awh.
Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
10 Hat toteh, siangpahrangnu ni siangpahrang hoi a bawinaw e lawk a thai navah, pawi thung a kâen teh, siangpahrang na hring saw seh. Na khopouk ru sak hanh. Na mei hai det kamlang sak hanh.
[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 Kathoung Cathut Muitha ni a okhai e tami buet touh na uknaeram thung vah ao. Na pa se navah, ahni teh cathutnaw e lungangnae patet e lungangnae hoi panuenae a tawn e hah panue e lah ao. Na pa Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang roeroe ni ahni hah camkathoumnaw, mitpaleikathoumnaw, Khaldeannaw hoi khueyuenaw, kahrawikung lah a hruek toe.
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 Bangkongtetpawiteh, mang let thainae, ka ru e lawknaw hoi hoe kahawi e muitha, hoi panuenae, hah siangpahrang ni Belteshazzar telah min a poe e Daniel dawk ao e hah panue e lah ao. Hote Daniel hah kaw pawiteh a let thai han doeh atipouh.
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 Hattoteh Daniel hah siangpahrang hmalah a thokhai awh. Siangpahrang ni, apa ni Judah ram hoi a man teh a hrawi e sannaw thung dawk ka bawk e Daniel nang maw.
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 Nang teh Cathut Muitha ni na okhai teh, hoe kahawi e panuenae nang dawk ao tie kamthang ka thai toe.
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 Hote ca hah touk vaiteh a ngainae hah dei haw titeh camkathoumnaw hah kakaw eiteh, ahnimouh ni dei thai awh hoeh.
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 ni na let thai, ka ru e lawk paceinae naw hai na dei thai telah ka thai tangcoung e patetlah nang ni hote ca na touk thai boilah, na let thai pawiteh, hnipaling na kâkhu vaiteh, na lahuen dawk sui dingyin na awi vaiteh, uknaeram thung apâthum e ukkung lah na o han atipouh.
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 Daniel ni, na hno poe hane naw teh nang namae lah awmseh. Poe han na ngai e tawkphunaw hah ayâ alouknaw maha poe yawkaw, hatei na hmalah hote ca hah ka touk vaiteh ka let vainei.
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 Oe, siangpahrang Lathueng Poung e Cathut ni na pa Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang koe uknaeram, taluenae, bawilennae hoi barinae hah a poe.
O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
19 Taluenae a poe dawkvah, tami pueng miphun puenghoi lawk cawngca pueng ni a bari awh teh, a hmalah a pâyaw awh. Thei han a ngai e pueng a thei teh, pasai a ngai e pueng hah a pasai. Thaw luen sak a ngai e pueng a luen sak teh, pabo a ngai e pueng a pabo.
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 A khopouk a rasang, a lungpata teh, kâoup hoi kho a sak. A bawilennae lah pouh lah ao teh, a bawitungkhung dawk hoi pabo lah ao.
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 Taminaw koehoi pâlei lah ao teh, moithang lungthin a tawn sak. Lathueng poung Cathut ni taminaw e uknaeram lathueng kâ a tawn dawkvah, a ngai e tami hah uknaeram a poe e hah a panue hoehroukrak lanaw hoi reirei a pawngpa teh maito patetlah pho a ca teh, khotui cupcup kayu lah ao.
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 Hatei, a capa nang Belshazzar, nang ni hote hnonaw hah na panue eiteh na lungthin na ka rahnoum laipalah,
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
23 Kalvan Bawipa hah na taran teh, bawkim thung e manangnaw hah na la sak teh, nama hoi na bawinaw hoi na yu hoi a donaw ni hote manang hoi misurtui na nei awh. Hahoi sui, ngun, rahum, sum, thing, talung hoi sak e cathut, kahmawt thai hoeh e, ka thai thai hoeh e hah na pholen awh teh, na hringnae hoi na lamthung pueng ka kuenkung Cathut law teh pholen laipalah na o awh.
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 Hatdawkvah kutdawn a patoun teh hote ca hah a thut sak.
Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
25 Hote ca teh; MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN
And this [is] the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 MENE tie teh, na uknaeram hah Cathut ni a parei teh, a pâbaw toe.
This [is] the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 TEKEL tie teh, nang hah yawcu dawk na khing boteh na kuep hoeh toe.
TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 PERES tie teh, na ukneram heh kapek lah ao toe. Media hoi Persia koe poe lah ao toe telah Daniel ni a dei pouh.
PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Hat toteh, Belshazzar siangpahrang ni a dei e patetlah Daniel hah hnipaling a kâkhu sak teh, a lahuen dawk sui dingyin a awi sak teh, a uknaeram dawk apâthum e bawi lah ao telah khothung a kâhlaikhai awh teh a oung awh.
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 Hat hnin tangmin vah, Khaldean siangpahrang Belshazzar teh thei e lah ao.
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 A kum 62 touh ka phat e Media tami Darius siangpahrang ni uknaeram hah a lawp.
And Darius the Median took the kingdom, [being] about threescore and two years old.
