Daniel 2
1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams. And his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.
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.
2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
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.
3 And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.
Te vaengah manghai loh amih te, “Mang ka man tih mang te ming hamla ka mueihla a cahoeh,” a ti nah.
4 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, O king, live forever. Tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
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.
5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me. If ye do not make the dream and the interpretation of it known to me, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
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.
6 But if ye show the dream and the interpretation of it, ye shall receive gifts and rewards and great honor from me. Therefore show the dream and the interpretation of it to me.
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.
7 They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
Koep a doo uh tih, “Manghai kah mang te a tueihyoeih taengah thui saeh lamtah a thuicaihnah kam phoe uh eh,” a ti nauh.
8 The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the thing has gone from me.
Manghai loh a doo tih, “Kai lamkah ol a cak te na hmuh dongah nangmih a tue na yuengyet uh tila rhep ka ming.
9 But if ye do not make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you, for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me till the time is changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation of it.
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.
10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth who can show the king's matter. Inasmuch as no king, lord, or ruler, has asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean.
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.
11 And it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
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.
12 For this reason the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
He kong dongah he manghai tah sai tih a thintoek muep. Te dongah Babylon hlang cueih boeih te thup hamla a thui.
13 So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain. And they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
Hlang cueih ngawn hamla oltlueh a khuen dongah Daniel neh a hui khaw ngawn hamla a tlap uh.
14 Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, who went forth to kill the wise men of Babylon.
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.
15 He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so urgent from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
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.
16 And Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.
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.
17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
Te phoeiah Daniel te a im la mael tih a hui rhoek Hananiah, Mishael neh Azariah taengah olka te a thuicaih pah.
18 that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions should nor perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
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.
19 Then the secret was shown to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
Te khoyin kah mangthui dongah tah Daniel taengah oldung te a thoeng pah. Te dongah Daniel loh vaan kah Pathen te a koeh.
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are his.
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.
21 And he changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings, and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.
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.
22 He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
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.
23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and has now made known to me what we desired of thee, for thou have made known to us the king's matter.
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.
24 Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said thus to him: Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.
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.
25 Then Arioch brought Daniel in before the king in haste, and said thus to him: I have found a man of the sons of the captivity of Judah, who will make known the interpretation to the king.
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.
26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are thou able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it?
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.
27 Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded, neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, can show to the king,
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.
28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets. And he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:
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.
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter. And he who reveals secrets has made known to thee what shall come to pass.
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.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living man, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that thou may know the thoughts of thy heart.
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.
31 Thou, O king, saw, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee, and the appearance of it was fearful.
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.
32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,
Te muei kah a lu te sui cim, a rhang neh a ban rhoi te cak, a bung neh a phai rhoi tah rhohum,
33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.
A khotanlan rhoi te thi, a khobom te a ngawncawn te thi tih a ngawncawn dikpo la om.
34 Thou looked until a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
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.
35 Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, was broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
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.
36 This is the dream, and we will tell the interpretation of it before the king.
Mang kah a thuingaihnah te manghai taengah ka thui uh pawn eh.
37 Thou, O king, are a king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory.
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.
38 And wherever the sons of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, he has given into thy hand, and has made thee to rule over them all. Thou are the head of gold.
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.
39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
Nang phoeiah tah nang lakah diklai la aka yalh ram pakhat pai ni. A pathum dongkah ram tahrhohum vetih diklai boeih soah boei ni.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things. And as iron that crushes all these, it shall break in pieces and crush.
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.
41 And whereas thou saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom. But there shall be of the strength of the iron in it, inasmuch as thou saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
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.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
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.
43 And whereas thou saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they shall not cling one to another, even as iron does not mix with clay.
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.
44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
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.
45 Inasmuch as thou saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. And the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
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.
46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors to him.
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.
47 The king answered to Daniel, and said, Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou have been able to reveal this secret.
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.
48 Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.
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.
49 And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon, but Daniel was in the gate of the king.
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.
