Daniel 5
1 Later, King Belshazzar held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he drank wine with them.
Kum sotthim jouvin, Belshazzar lengpa’n agamsung’a milen milal ho sangkhat toh, golvah loupitah khat abol in, chuleh amaho chutoh ju adonkhomuvin ahi.
2 Under the influence of the wine, Belshazzar gave orders to bring in the gold and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king could drink from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.
Belshezzar chun ju adon pum’in, apa Nebuchadnezzar in, Jerusalem Hou-in sunga kon’a anapohdoh sana leh dangka khon ho chu ju donna a man dingin thu apetai. Hiche khon ho chu, ajite leh athaikem ho chuleh milen milal hotoh ju donna-a nei ding ati ahi.
3 Thus they brought in the gold vessels that had been taken from the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king drank from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.
Chu in Jerusalem Pathen Hou-in sung’a kon’a kipodoh sana leh dangka khon ho chu ahin choi doh’un, lengpa leh ajite ho, athaikem ho, chuleh milen milal hon, ju donnan amang tauve.
4 As they drank the wine, they praised their gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone.
Hitichun, amahon sana leh dangka khon ho’a chun ju adon’un, chuleh sana, dangka, sum-eng leh thih’a kisemthu doilim pathen ho chu nasatah in avahchoi jeng tauvin ahi.
5 At that moment the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. As the king watched the hand that was writing,
Hichepettah chun, amahon, leng inpi sung’a meivah khom tun nakom’abang kiloijol lai achun, mihem khut khat ahung kilah amu uvin, hiche khut jung chun bang’a lekhajem ahin jihtai. Hichu Lengpa ama tah in jong amutan ahi.
6 his face grew pale and his thoughts so alarmed him that his hips gave way and his knees knocked together.
Hichun lengpa maiso akikhel deltan, kichat leh tijat in alungsung alodimtan ahi. Atahsa aki thing in chuleh akhup leh akeng ho jong akihot lhu jeng tan ahi.
7 The king called out for the enchanters, astrologers, and diviners to be brought in, and he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this inscription and tells me its interpretation will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
Lengpa aping jah jeng in, ai-lhim them ho, ahsi-lekha them ho, vangsan them ho, a-ang sung’a ahin koukhom diuvin thupeh aboltai. Hichun Lengpa’n Babylon miching mithem ho jah’a chun asei tai. “Koi hijong leh, hiche lekha jem kijih hi asimdoh thei aum’a chuleh ipi kiseina ahi phongdoh thei aumleh, Leng inpi kijabolna ponsandup kisilpeh ding chuleh angong’a sana-khivui ki opeh ding ahi. Chuleh ama chu, ka lenggam sung’a vaipoh luboh thum channa-a ka pansah ding ahi” ati.
8 So all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the inscription or interpret it for him.
Chuin alenggam sung’a miching mithem ho chu ahungkhom soh tauve. Ahivang in, bang’a kisun lekhajem chu alah’uva khat beh in jong asimthei pouvin, chuleh ipi kiseina ham jong ahedoh thei pouve.
9 Then King Belshazzar became even more terrified, his face grew even more pale, and his nobles were bewildered.
Chuin Lengpa chu atija lheh jengin, amaiso kikhel leuvin akichatan ahi. Chuleh ama noija milen milal ho jong chu alung dong gamtauvin ahi.
10 Hearing the outcry of the king and his nobles, the queen entered the banquet hall. “O king, may you live forever!” she said. “Do not let your thoughts terrify you, or your face grow pale.
Chuin hiche thilsoh chu, Lengnun ajah doh phat in, amatah lengpa golvah bolna insung’a alheilut loijin, lengpa jah’a aseitai.” Lengpa damsot in! Na lim na maiso kikhel leuvin, tija behseh hih in.
11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the days of your father he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your own father, the king,
Na gamsung’a, Pathen theng lhagaovin achenden mi khat aum nai. Napa, Nebuchadnezzar khang’a jong hiche mipa chung’a hi, lung-mitvahna, thil hetkhenna leh Pathen ho chihna nei ahi, kimudohsa ahi. Hiche jeh’a chu napa Nebuchadnezzar lengpa’n, ama chu Babylon gamsung pumpia mitpheldoi them ho, ai-lhim them ho, ahsi-lekha them ho, chule vangsan them ho jouse chung’a pipu’a anapansah ahi.
12 did this because Daniel, the one he named Belteshazzar, was found to have an extraordinary spirit, as well as knowledge, understanding, and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve difficult problems. Summon Daniel, therefore, and he will give you the interpretation.”
Hiche mipa Daniel tiajong kihe, lengpan Belteshazzar asahpa chu, Pathen’a kon thil suhto themna nasatah nei, thuguh hetdoh theina leh hilchetna chuleh Pathen chihna dimset ahi. Aman mang aledoh theijin, chuleh thuboi hahsa jong asunavah thei jin ahi. Ama chu kouvin, aman bang’a kijih chu ipi ahi asim doh thei ding chuleh aledoh thei ding ahi” ati.
13 So Daniel was brought before the king, who asked him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah?
Chuin Daniel chu lengpa angsung’a ahin puilut tauve. Lengpan Daniel jah’a, “Nang hi, kapa Nebuchadnezzar lengpan Judah gam’a kon’a ahin kaimang sohchang ho lah’a khat, Daniel kitipa chu na him?
14 I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you have insight, intelligence, and extraordinary wisdom.
Keiman, nachung’a Pathen theng lhagao achengin, nangman sunggil lungmitvah naneijin, thil hetkhenna chihna dimset naneije tithu kajai.
15 Now the wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this inscription and interpret it for me, but they could not give its interpretation.
Ka gam sung’a miching ho leh ailhim them hon, hiche bang’a kijih lekha jem hi asimthei louvu ahi tai. Tun nangin sim inlang, ipi kiseina ham nei seipeh tan.
16 But I have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Therefore, if you can read this inscription and give me its interpretation, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
Nang in hiche hohi aledoh theina nahen, chuleh thuboi hahsa hojong na sunavah theije tithu kana jai. Hijeh chun, hiche hohi sim inlang, ipi kiseina ham nei ledohpeh in, chutileh nangma leng inpi jabolna ponsandup nakisil peh ding, sana khivui nangong’a naki-opeh ding, chuteng ka lenggam sung’a vaihom sangpen athum na-a napan ding ahi,’’ ati.
17 In response, Daniel said to the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the inscription for the king and interpret it for him.
Chuin Daniel in lengpa chu adonbut in, “Kipaman thilpeh napeh ding chu nangman kikoi tan, ahilou leh midang khat pedoh jeng in. Ahin, bang’a kijih hichehi ipi kiseina ham, keiman na seipeh nang’e.
18 As for you, O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness, glory and honor.
Vo lengpa, napa Nebuchadnezzar lengpa chu, Chungnungpen Pathenin leng achansah a, letna leh loupina chuleh jabolna apeh ahi.
19 Because of the greatness that He bestowed on him, the people of every nation and language trembled in fear before him. He killed whom he wished and kept alive whom he wished; he exalted whom he wished and humbled whom he wished.
Ama chu Pathen in loupitah’a atun jeh in, chitin namtin’a miho leh pao tintang thoho jouse, a-ang sung’a akithing’un akichalheh jeng’un ahi. Aman atha nom athat in, chuleh ahinghoi nom chu ahinghoiye. Aman ajabol nom ajabolin, chuleh asuhnem nom chu asunem in ahi.
20 But when his heart became arrogant and his spirit was hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne, and his glory was taken from him.
Ahivang in, alungchang leh alungthim’a kiletsahna adim tan, ama akichoi sang phat in, aleng mun’a kon’in akikai lha tan, chuleh aloupina jouse jong aki lahmang peh tai.
21 He was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes.
Chuin ama chu mihem chenna lah’a konin aki delmang in, alungthim jong gamsa lungthim bangin akikhelpeh in, gamlah’a gamsangan hotoh ahingkhom tai. Aman bong bang in hamhing anen, chuleh van’a kon daitwi hunglha chu adouvin, Pathen in leiset’a lenggam jouse chung’a vai ahom in, adei dei leng’a atunji ahi, ti ahetdoh kahsen, gamsa bang in ahing tan ahi.
22 But you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this.
Nangma, napa gou-loson achapa nahi, vo Belshazzar, nangin hiche hohi nahet vang'in, nangman kineosahna halcha jong nanei poi.
23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.
Nangman kiletsahtah in van Pathen chu nadouvin, Pathen Hou-in’a kon hung kipodoh khon ho chu namong tai. Nangleh na-milen na milal te, najite leh na thaikem hon, hiche khon hochu ju don nan namang uvin, sana, dangka, sum-eng, thih, thing leh songho’a kisem ima hethei lou, khomu lou leh kho jalou semthu pathen ho chu na vahchoi choi jeng’un ahi.
24 Therefore He sent the hand that wrote the inscription.
Hijeh a chu Pathen a kon’a hiche khut hi hung kilhang doh’a, hiche lekha jem hi ahin jih ahi.
25 Now this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.
Hichea lekha jem kijih chu hiche ahi: MENE, MENE, TEKEL chuleh PARSIN
26 And this is the interpretation of the message: MENE means that God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
Chuleh hiche thucheng ho kiledohna chu hiti ahi: MENE kiti hi, Pathen in nalengvaipohna asim tohsa ahi tan, abeina ding nikho hung lhung ahi tai.
27 TEKEL means that you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.
TEKEL kiti hi, nangma thiltena kilepto bang’a, nangma kilepto’a na kitetohsa ahitan, nalhingjou tapoi.
28 PERES means that your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”
PARSIN kiti hi, na lenggam hi kehni kiso’a kihom khen ahitai. Mede mite leh Persia mite kihop peh ahitai.
29 Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel in purple, placed a gold chain around his neck, and proclaimed him the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
Chuin Belshazzar thupeh dungjuiyin, Daniel chu ponsandup asil peh’un, sana khivui angong’a a-opeh’un chuleh ama chu lenggam pumpia vaipo pipu sangpen athumna in aphong doh tauve.
30 That very night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans was slain,
Chuche jan ma ma chun, Babylonte lengpa Belshazzar chu athat tauve.
31 and Darius the Mede received the kingdom at the age of sixty-two.
Chuleh Mede mipa Darius chun, akum somgup-le-ni alhin in, hiche lenggam chu akilah tan ahi.
