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 nobles, —and, before the thousand, was drinking, wine.
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, gave word, at the flavour of the wine, to bring the vessels of gold and silver, which Nebuchadnezzar his father, had brought forth, out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, —that the king and his nobles, 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 brought they the vessels of gold which had been taken out of the temple of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and the king and his nobles, his wives and, his concubines, drank therein:
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 silver, bronze, iron, wood and 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.
Immediately, came forth the fingers of the hand of a man, and wrote, over against the chandelier, upon the plaster of the wall of the palace of the king, —and, the king, saw the part of the hand which was writing,
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, as for the king, his bright looks, changed in him, and, his thoughts, terrified him, —and, 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 began crying out again, to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans and the astrologers, —the king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever it is that shall read this writing, and, the interpretation thereof, shall declare unto me, with purple, shall he be clothed, and have a chain of gold upon his neck, and, as the third in the kingdom, shall he have dominion.
8 Tami kathoumthainaw pueng teh a tho awh. Hatei hote ca hah touk thai awh hoeh. A deingainae hai pâpho thai awh hoeh.
Then were coming in all the wise men of the king, —but, the writing, could they not read, nor, the interpretation, make known to the king.
9 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang Belshazzar teh, khopouk aru lawi a mei det a kamlang teh, a bawinaw puenghai muen ati awh.
Then, King Belshazzar, was greatly terrified, and, his bright looks, were changed upon him, —and, his nobles, were perplexed.
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.
The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, into the house of banqueting, entered, —the queen spake and said, O king! for ages, live! Let not thy thoughts, terrify thee, and, as for thy bright looks, let them not 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 intelligence, and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him, —and, King Nebuchadnezzar thy father, appointed him, chief of the sacred scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers, —thy father, O king!
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, a distinguished spirit, and knowledge and intelligence, ability to interpret dreams and solve riddles and unravel knotty points, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let, Daniel, be called, and, the interpretation, will he declare.
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, Daniel, was brought in before the king, —the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art, thou, that Daniel, that is of the sons of the exile of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
14 Nang teh Cathut Muitha ni na okhai teh, hoe kahawi e panuenae nang dawk ao tie kamthang ka thai toe.
Then, I have heard concerning thee, that, the spirit of the gods, is in thee, —and, light and intelligence and distinguished wisdom, are 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.
Now, therefore, have been brought in before me, the wise men, the magicians, that, this writing, they might read, and, the interpretation thereof, might make known unto me, —but they were not able, the interpretation of the thing, to declare.
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.
I, however, have heard concerning thee, that thou art able, interpretations, to unfold, and, knotty points, to unravel, —Now, if thou be able, the writing, to read, and, the interpretation thereof, to make known unto me, with purple, shalt thou be clothed, and, a chain of gold, shalt thou have upon thy neck, and, as the third in the kingdom, shalt thou have dominion.
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 spake Daniel, and said before the king, As for thy gifts, thine own let them remain, and, thy presents, on another, bestow, —howbeit, the writing, will I read to the king, and, the interpretation thereof, will I make known to him.
18 Oe, siangpahrang Lathueng Poung e Cathut ni na pa Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang koe uknaeram, taluenae, bawilennae hoi barinae hah a poe.
As for thee, O king, the Most High God, gave, kingship and greatness and honour and majesty, unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father;
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 greatness that he gave him, all peoples, races and tongues, used to tremble and to withdraw falteringly from 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 uplifted was his heart and, his spirit, became obstinate so as to act arrogantly, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and, his dignity, took they 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, from among the sons of men, was he driven, and, his heart, to a wild beast’s, became equal, and, with the wild asses, was his dwelling, and, grass—like oxen, they suffered him to eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, his body, was drenched—until that he came to know that the Most High God, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, whomsoever he pleaseth, he setteth up over it.
22 Hatei, a capa nang Belshazzar, nang ni hote hnonaw hah na panue eiteh na lungthin na ka rahnoum laipalah,
And yet, thou, his son, O Belshazzar! hast not humbled thy heart, though, all this, thou knewest;
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, against the Lord of the heavens, hast uplifted thyself, and, the vessels of his house, have they brought before thee, and, thou, and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have been drinking, wine, therein, and, gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which see not nor hear nor know, hast thou praised, —whereas, God, in whose hand thy breath is and whose are all thy ways, him, hast thou not glorified.
24 Hatdawkvah kutdawn a patoun teh hote ca hah a thut sak.
Then was there put forth from before him the part of the hand, —and, this writing, was inscribed:
25 Hote ca teh; MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN
And this is the writing which was inscribed, M’ne, M’ne, T’kel, u-Pharsin.
26 MENE tie teh, na uknaeram hah Cathut ni a parei teh, a pâbaw toe.
This, is the interpretation of the thing, —M’ne ["Reckoned-up"], God hath reckoned up thy reign, and ended it:
27 TEKEL tie teh, nang hah yawcu dawk na khing boteh na kuep hoeh toe.
T’kel, —thou art weighed ["Weighed"] in the balances, and 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.
P’res ["Snatched-away"], —snatched away is thy kingdom, 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 Belshazzar, gave word, that they should clothe Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold upon his neck, —and should make a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler over the kingdom.
30 Hat hnin tangmin vah, Khaldean siangpahrang Belshazzar teh thei e lah ao.
In that night, was slain—Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans.
31 A kum 62 touh ka phat e Media tami Darius siangpahrang ni uknaeram hah a lawp.
And, Darius the Mede, received the kingdom, —when about sixty-two years of age.
