Daniel 4
1 King Nabuchodonosor to all nations, tribes, and tongues, who dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.
Kai Nebukhadnezar ni lawk na patawn awh. Talaivan kho tangkuem kaawm e miphun cawngca hoi lawk cawngca kapan e taminaw nangmouh koe lungmawngnae pungdaw seh.
2 It seemed good to me to declare to you the signs and wonders which the most high God has wrought with me,
Lathueng poung lah kaawm e Cathut ni kai dawk a sak e kângairu hno hoi mitnoutnae naw hah kamnue sak hanelah ka ngai.
3 how great and mighty [they are]: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power to all generations.
Mitnout teh a len tangngak. Athaonae teh kângairu han lah ao tangngak. A uknaeram teh catounawtoun totouh kangning e lah ao.
4 I Nabuchodonosor was thriving in my house, and prospering.
Kai Nebukhadnezar teh kama e siangpahrang im dawk tawnta bawirengnae hoi ka o navah,
5 I saw a vision, and it terrified me, and I was troubled on my bed, and the visions of my head troubled me.
takikathopounge mang ka mang e hah ikhun dawk ka yannae koehoi ka pouk navah, ka taki toungloung.
6 And I made a decree to bring in before me all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
Hatdawkvah ka mang leh hanelah Babilon ram e a lungkaang e pueng ka hmalah koung thokhai awh titeh ka pathang.
7 So the enchanters, magicians, soothsayers, [and] Chaldeans came in: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me the interpretation thereof;
Hatnavah, mitpaleikathoumnaw, kutkhetkathoumnaw, Babilon kacangkhaikungnaw, hoi Khaldeannaw pueng a tho awh teh, ka mang hah ka dei pouh. Hatei, ahnimanaw ni ka mang hah let thai awh hoeh.
8 until Daniel came, whose name is Baltasar, according to the name of my God, who has within him the Holy Spirit of God; to whom I said,
A hnukkhu vah, kaie cathut min ka phawt e Belteshazzar telah phung teh, Cathut e kathoung muitha hoi kakawi e Daniel ni kai koe a tho torei teh,
9 O Baltasar, chief of the enchanters, of whom I know that the Holy Spirit of God is in thee, and no mystery is too hard for thee, hear the vision of my dream which I had, and tell me the interpretation of it.
mitpaleikathoumnaw kahrawikung Belteshazzar nang dawk kathounge Cathut Muitha ao tie thoseh, hrolawk kaawm e pueng na pâpho thai e hai thoseh ka panue. Hatdawkvah, mang ka mang e hah na pâpho pouh haw.
10 I had a vision upon my bed; and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.
Ka ikhun dawk ka yan nah ka hmu e vision teh, talai lungui vah, karasangpoung e thingkung buet touh a kâung.
11 The tree grew large and strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its extent to the extremity of the whole earth:
Hote thingkung teh a roung teh a thao poung. Kalvan a deng teh, talai van pueng koehoi hmu e thai e lah ao.
12 its leaves were fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it was meat for all; and under it the wild beasts of the field took shelter, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches of it, and all flesh was fed of it.
A hna hai a meihawi. Moithang pueng ni ca khuem hane paw hoi akawi. Talai e saringnaw teh hote thingkung tâhlip dawk a kâhat awh, tavanaw ni a kangnaw dawk a kâhat awh.
13 I beheld in the night vision upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven, and cried aloud, and thus he said,
Ka ikhun dawk ka yan lahun nah ka hmu e vision teh bout ka khet navah, thingkung ka ring e tami kathoung buet touh kalvan hoi a kum.
14 Cut down the tree, and pluck off its branches, and shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the wild beasts be removed from under it, and the birds from its branches.
Thingkung hah tâtueng haw. Akangnaw hah rabat haw. A hna, a pawnaw hah pahroe haw. Saringnaw ni thingkung rahim hoi tâcawt awh naseh. Tavanaw hai akangnaw dawk hoi tâcawt awh naseh.
15 Only leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and [bind it] with an iron and brass band; and it shall lie in the grass that is without and in the dew of heaven, and its portion [shall be] with the wild beasts in the grass of the field.
Hateiteh, a tangpha hoi a thongmui teh pâhlung haw. Sumrui, rahum rui hoi pâkhit nateh, hram kanaw um vah awm naseh. Kum sari touh thung khoraum ao vaiteh, saringnaw hoi cungtalah hram cat naseh.
16 His heart shall be changed from that of man, and the heart of a wild beast shall be given to him; and seven times shall pass over him.
Tami lungthin kahmat naseh. Saring lungthin tawn naseh.
17 The matter is by the decree of the watcher, and the demand is a word of the holy ones; that the living may know that the Lord is most high [over] the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whomsoever he shall please, and will set up over it that which is set at nought of men.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a Lathueng Poung e Cathut ni talai uknaeram a uk tie thoseh, a poe ngai e tami koe a poe tie hai thoseh, ka rahnoum poung e tami hah a tawm teh ram hah a poe tie hai thoseh, moithangnaw ni a panue thai nahanlah thingkung karingkungnaw ni hettelah a sak awh toe. Tami kathoung naw ni kâ a poe toe telah a ti.
18 This is the vision which I king Nabuchodonosor saw: and do thou, Baltasar, declare the interpretation, for none of the wise men of my kingdom are able to shew me the interpretation of it: but thou, Daniel, art able; for the Holy Spirit of God is in thee.
Hottelah Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang ni mang ka mang toe. Nang Belteshazzar ka hmu e mang hah atuvah na deicai pouh haw. Kaie uknaeram dawk e a lungkaangnaw ni decai thai awh hoeh eiteh, nang teh kathounge Cathut Muitha hoi na kawi dawkvah, na pâpho thai telah ka hmu e mang hah Daniel koe ka dei pouh.
19 Then Daniel, whose name is Baltasar, was amazed about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. And Baltasar answered and said, [My] lord, let the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation of it to thine enemies.
Hat toteh, Belteshazzar telah phung e Daniel teh, suimilam buet touh hane muen a kângai teh a lungpuen. Siangpahrang ni, nang Belteshazzar, mang hoi deingainae dawk na lungpuen sak hanh atipouh. Belteshazzar ni Bawipa, nang na kahmawt ngai hoeh e naw koe mang deingainae teh phat lawiseh.
20 The tree which thou sawest, that grew large and strong, whose height reached to the sky and its extent to all the earth;
Na hmu lahun nah karoung niteh, a tha kaawm poung e, kalvan ka deng niteh, talai van puenghoi hmu thai e,
21 and whose leaves were flourishing, and its fruit abundant, (and it was meat for all; under it the wild beasts lodged, and the birds of the sky took shelter in its branches: )
a hna hai a meikahawi niteh, moithang pueng ni cakhuem e a paw hoi kakawi e, talai e saringnaw ni a rahim vah ao awh teh, tavanaw ni a kang dawk kâhatnae thingkung hateh,
22 is thyself, O king; for thou art grown great and powerful, and thy greatness has increased and reached to heaven, and thy dominion to the ends of the earth.
Bawipa nang nama roeroe doeh toe. Nang teh na roung, thaonae hoi na kawi. Lentoe tawntanae teh kalvan kadeng lah ao. Kâ na tawnnae teh talai pout totouh a pha.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and he said, Strip the tree, and destroy it; only leave the stump of its roots in the ground, and [bind it] with a band of iron and brass; and it shall lie in the grass that is without, and in the dew of heaven, and its portion shall be with wild beasts, until seven times have passed over it;
Thingkung ka ring e tami kathoung buet touh kalvan hoi ka kum niteh, thingkung hah tâtueng nateh raphoe haw. Hatei a tangpha hoi a thongmui hah pâhlung nateh, sumrui, rahumrui hoi katek nateh, hram kanaw um vah awm naseh. Kum sari touh thung khoraum awm naseh. Talai e saringnaw hoi rei awm naseh tie teh,
24 this is the interpretation of it, O king, and it is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king.
A lathueng poung e Cathut ni siangpahrang nang koe a pha sak e mang deicainae teh,
25 And they shall drive thee forth from men, and thy dwelling shall be with wild beasts, and they shall feed thee with grass as an ox, and thou shalt have thy lodging under the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and will give it to whom he shall please.
Nang hah tami um hoi na pâlei teh, talai saringnaw hoi reirei na o han. A Lathueng Poung e Cathut ni telah uknaeram hah a uk dawkvah, poe a ngai e taminaw koe a poe e hah na panue hoehnahlan kum sari touh thung maito patetlah hram na ca vaiteh, khoraum na o han.
26 And whereas they said, Leave the stumps of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom abides [sure] to thee from the time that thou shalt know the power of the heavens.
Thing tangpha, thingthawngmui a pâhlung e teh, Kalvan ni a uk tie na panue hnukkhu, uknaeram hateh, na kut dawk bout poe lah ao han.
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel please thee, and atone for thy sins by alms, and [thine] iniquities by compassion on the poor: it may be God will be long-suffering to thy trespasses.
Hatdawkvah siangpahrang kaie lawk hah thai haw. Na tawnta e kasaw lah kangning thai nahan, na yonnae hah lannae lah, na hawihoehnae hah roedengnaw pahrennae lah let palang leih telah atipouh.
28 All these things came upon king Nabuchodonosor.
Hote hnopueng Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang koe a phanae kong teh hettelah ao.
29 After a twelvemonth, as he walked in his palace in Babylon,
Thapa yung 12 apoutnae dawk siangpahrang teh, Babilon im vah a kâhlai.
30 the king answered and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for a royal residence, by the might of my power, for the honour of my glory?
Siangpahrang ni, hete khopui teh, ka ram a kamtuenae, ka bawilen taluenae tawm nahanlah ka bahu hoi ka sak e Babilon khopui nahoehmaw telah a ti.
31 While the word was yet in the king’s mouth, there came a voice from heaven, [saying], To thee, king Nabuchodonosor, they say, The kingdom has departed from thee.
Hote lawk a dei lahunnah, kalvan hoi ka tho e lawk teh Oe, Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang, thai haw. Na uknaeram teh na kut dawk hoi takhoe lah ao toe.
32 And they [shall] drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the wild beasts of the field, and they shall feed thee with grass as an ox: and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whomsoever he shall please.
Nang hah taminaw umsali hoi na pâlei vaiteh, talai saringnaw hoi reirei na o han. A Lathueng Poung ni talai uknaeram hah a uk teh, a poe ngai e tami a poe e hah na panuehoenae tueng, kum sari touh thung maito patetlah hram na ca han telah a ti.
33 In the same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor: and he was driven forth from men, and he ate grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, until his hairs were grown like lions’ [hairs], and his nails as birds’ [claws].
Hote lawk patetlah Nebukhadnezar dawk vaitalahoi a tho teh, tami umsali hoi a pâlei awh. Maito patetlah hram a ca teh, khoraum vah ao. A takmuennaw teh mataw rathei patetlah ao teh, a khokpatinnaw teh tava khokpatin patetlah ao pouh.
34 And at the end of the time I Nabuchodonosor lifted up mine eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised him that lives for ever, and gave [him] glory; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [lasts] to all generations:
Atueng akuep toteh, kai Nebukhadnezar teh kalvan lah ka moung navah, bout ka kâpanue teh, a yungyoe kahring e Cathut hah ka pholen, barinae ka poe teh, ka lentoe sak. Kâ tawnnae teh a yungyoe e doeh. A uknaeram teh a yungyoe a kangning.
35 and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none who shall withstand his power, and say to him, What hast thou done?
Talai tami pueng teh, banghai bang hoeh lah ao awh. Kalvan ransanaw koehai thoseh, talai taminaw koehai thoseh, a ngai e patetlah a sak. Apinihai a kut hah ngang thai awh hoeh. Bangmouh na sak ka tet pouh thai e apihai awm hoeh.
36 At the same time my reason returned to me, and I came to the honour of my kingdom; and my [natural] form returned to me, and my princes, and my nobles, sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and more abundant majesty was added to me.
Hat toteh, ka lungthin amahmoe lah bout ao. Kaie uknaeram bawilennae nahanlah bari onae hoi, raimonae teh kai koe bout a ban. Kho kapoukkungnaw hoi bawinaw ni bout na hnai awh teh, ka uknae casak lah ao teh, puenghoi taluenae hai ahmaloe e hlak hoe a len.
37 Now therefore I Nabuchodonosor praise and greatly exalt and glorify the King of heaven; for all his works are true, and his paths are judgment: and all that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Atuteh, kai Nebukhadnezar ni kalvan siangpahrang hah ka pholen teh, ka tawm teh ka lentoe sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a sak e hno pueng teh a thuem, a lamthung teh a lan. Kâoup laihoi kho ka sak e pueng teh rahim lah a pabo tie hah kho tangkuem a pathang.
