Daniel 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar, the king, to all peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in the whole world, may peace be increased with you.
Nebukhadnezzar manghai loh namtu pilnam boeih neh olcom olcae neh, diklai pum kah khosa, khosa te, “Nangmih kah ngaimongnah he pungtai saeh.
2 The supreme God has accomplished signs and wonders with me. Therefore, it has pleased me to proclaim
Khohni kah Khohni Pathen loh kai hamla miknoek neh khobae rhambae te a tueng sak tih kai taengah thui hamla a huem.
3 his signs, which are great, and his wonders, which are mighty. For his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power continues from generation to generation.
A miknoek te metluk lam lae boeilen tih amah khobae rhambae he metluk lam lae a tlungluen. A ram he kumhal kah ram tih a khohung khaw thawnpuei lamloh cadilcahma taengah om ni.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was content in my house and prospering in my palace.
Kai Nebukhadnezzar tah ka im kah thayoei nen khaw, ka bawkim kah hnothen nen khaw ka om.
5 I saw a dream that terrified me, and my thoughts on my bed and the visions in my head disturbed me.
Mang ka man vaengah kai n'hihham tih ka thingkong dongah poeknah neh ka lu dongkah mangthui loh kai n'cahawh.
6 And so a decree was established by me, that all of the wise men of Babylon should be brought in before me, and that they should reveal to me the answer to the dream.
Ka mang kah thuingaihnah te thui saeh tila Babylon hlang cueih boeih te kamah taengah khuen hamla kai lamloh saithainah a paek coeng.
7 Then the seers, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers entered, and I explained about the dream in their presence, but they did not reveal its answer to me.
Hmayuep rhoek, rhaitonghma rhoek, Khalden rhoek neh aisi aka suep khaw ha pai, ha pai vaengah mang he amih taengah ka thui dae a thuingaihnah te kai taengah a ming uh moenih.
8 And then their colleague came in before me, Daniel, (whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, ) who has the spirit of the holy gods within his very self, and I told the dream directly to him.
Tedae a hnukkhueng la Daniel he kai taengla ha pai. Anih te ka pathen ming bangla Belteshazzar a ming nah. Anih tah a khuiah khaw Pathen Mueihla cim a om dongah a taengah mang ka thui pah.
9 Belteshazzar, leader of the seers, since I know that you have in you the spirit of the holy gods, and that no mystery is unreachable to you, explain to me the visions of my dreams, which I saw, and the solution to them.
Belteshazzar tah hmayuep boei pai ni. Na khui ah Pathen kah mueihla cim om tih oldung boeih khaw nang hamla kuel pawh tila ka ming. Ka mang ah mangthui ka hmuh tih a thuingaihnah khaw a thui.
10 This was the vision of my head on my bed. I looked, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth, and its height was exceedingly great.
Ka thingkong dongah ka lu kah mangthui ka hmuh. Te vaengah diklai laklung kah thing tah a sang khaw muep sang he.
11 The tree was great and strong, and its height reached up to heaven. It could be seen all the way to the ends of the entire earth.
Thing te rhoeng tih a hlul dongah a sang loh vaan duela a pha. Te dongah a mueimae he diklai pum kah khobawt duela tueng.
12 Its leaves were very beautiful, and its fruit was very abundant, and in it was food for the whole world. Under it, animals and beasts were dwelling, and in its branches, the birds of the sky were sheltered, and from it, all flesh was fed.
A hnah te then tih a thaih khaw yet. Te dongah a soah a cungkuem ham buh om tih a hmui ah kohong rhamsa loh hlipying uh. A bu dongah vaan kah vaa loh kho a sak tih te lamloh pumsa boeih a cah.
13 I saw in the vision of my head upon my blanket, and behold, a watcher and a holy one descended from heaven.
Ka thingkong dongah ka lu dongkah mangthui ka hmuh tih ka om vaengah vaan lamkah thinghla cim tah ha rhum.
14 He cried out loudly, and he said this: “Cut down the tree and prune its branches; shake off its leaves and scatter its fruits; let flee the beasts, which are under it, and the birds from its branches.
Thadueng neh pang tih, “Thing te vung lamtah, a bu te saih pah, a hnah te hae pah lamtah a thaih haeh pah. A hmui lamkah rhamsa neh a bu dongkah vaa khaw nong saeh,”.
15 Nevertheless, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with a band of iron and brass among the plants, which are close by, and let it be touched by the dew of heaven, and let its place be with the wild animals among the plants of the earth.
Tedae a yung a ngo tah diklai ah ngol saeh lamtah thi neh rhohum kah pinnah neh kohong baeldaih khui ah om saeh. Te dongah vaan kah buem loh saep saeh lamtah a hamsum rhamsa neh diklai baelhing lakli ah om saeh.
16 Let his heart be changed from being human, and let the heart of a wild animal be given to him, and let seven periods of time pass over him.
Tekah hlang tah a thinko te hlang lamloh poehlip saeh lamtah anih te rhamsa thinko pae saeh. Te vaengah anih ham kum rhih thok pah saeh, a ti.
17 This is the decree from the judgment of the watchers, and the decision and proclamation of the holy ones, until the living shall know that the Supreme One is ruler in the kingdom of men, and that he will give it to whomever he wills, and he will appoint the lowest man over it.”
He kong dongkah thinghla kah saithainah ol neh a cim olpaek oltloek rhangneh a sangkoek lakah a sangkoek loh hlang kah ram neh hlang khaw a hung te mulhing rhoek loh ming uh saeh. Te dongah te te a ngaih sarhui taengah a paek tih mathoe hlang rhoek te a so, a so ah a pai sak.
18 I, king Nebuchadnezzar, saw this dream. And so you, Belteshazzar, must quickly explain to me the interpretation because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to declare the meaning of it to me. But you are able because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
Kai manghai Nebukhadnezzar loh mang loh ka man he Belteshazzar nang, namah loh a thuingaihnah thui laeh. Te kong dongah ka ram kah hlang cueih boeih loh kai taengah a thuingaihnah thuicaih ham a noeng uh moenih. Nang, namah tah na khuikah Pathen mueihla cim rhangneh na noeng coeng,” a ti.
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. But the king responded, saying, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream and its interpretation disturb you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, the dream is for those who hate you, and its interpretation may be for your enemies.
Te dongah Belteshazzar aka ming nah Daniel tah khonoek pakhat khuiah hit sut. A poeknah loh amah a cahawh. Te dongah manghai loh a voek tih, “Belteshazzar, mang neh a thuingaihnah nang te let boeh,” a ti nah. Belteshazzar loh a doo tih, “Ka boeipa aw, ka boeipa na saeh, mang te na lunguet, na lunguet ham tih a thuingaihnah tah na rhal, na rhal ham ni.
20 The tree that you saw was lofty and strong; its height reached toward heaven, and it could be seen throughout the whole world.
Na hmuh bangla thing te rhoeng tih hlul. Te dongah a sang vaan duela a pha tih a mueimae te diklai pum ah tueng.
21 And its branches were very beautiful, and its fruit very abundant, and in it was food for all. Under it, dwelt the beasts of the field, and in its branches, the birds of the air stayed.
A hnah then tih a thaih yet. A soah a cungkuem ham buh om tih a hmui ah kohong rhamsa loh kho a sak. A bu dongah vaan kah vaa loh kho a sak.
22 It is you, O king, who has been greatly esteemed, and you have grown strong. And you have increased your power, and it reaches towards heaven, and your rule is to the ends of the whole earth.
Manghai nang namah tah na rhoeng tih na hlul dongah na lennah khaw vaan a pha duela rhoeng na. Na khohung loh diklai khobawt duela a pha.
23 Yet the king also saw a watcher and a holy one descend from heaven and say: ‘Cut down the tree and scatter it; however, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass, among the surrounding plants, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, until seven periods of time pass over him.’
Manghai aw, a tueng bangla, thinghla cim tah vaan lamloh rhum tih, “Thing te vung uh lamtah palet uh. A yung a ngo tah diklai ah hlun uh lamtah thi neh rhohum kah pinnah neh kohong baeldaih khuiah om saeh. Te vaengah vaan kah buem neh saep saeh lamtah anih te kum rhih a thok duela amah hamsum kohong rhamsa taengah om saeh.
24 This is the interpretation of the judgment of the Most High, which has reached my lord, the king.
Manghai aw a thuingaihnah he tah a sangkoek a sangkoek kah saithainah ni. He he ka boeipa neh ka boeipa manghai taengah pai coeng.
25 They will expel you from among men, and your dwelling will be with the beasts and the wild animals, and you will eat hay like an ox, and you will be drenched with the dew of heaven. Likewise, seven periods of time will pass over you, until you know that the Supreme One rules over the kingdom of men, and he gives it to whomever he wills.
Nang te hlang taeng lamloh m'vai uh vetih kohong rhamsa taengah ni na khosaknah a om eh. Baelhing te vaito bangla na caak vetih vaan kah buem neh nang te n'saep ni. A sangkoek kah a sangkoek loh hlang kah ram soah a hung tih te te a ngaih sarhui taengah a paek tila na ming hil nang hamla kum rhih thok ni.
26 But, since he commanded that the stump of its roots, that is, of the tree, should be left behind, your kingdom will be left for you, after you have realized that power is from divinity.
Thing kah a yung a ngo hlun ham a thui bangla vaan aka hung te na ming van lamloh na ram te namah taengla cak ni.
27 Because of this, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you. And redeem your sins with alms, and your iniquities with mercy towards the poor. Perhaps he will forgive your offenses.”
Te dongah manghai aw, kai poeknah he namah taengah na doe mai mako. Na tholhnah te duengnah neh phaeh lamtah hlanghnaem pataek na rhen nen te na halangnah hnawt laeh. Na ommongnah te a congnah a om khaming,” a ti nah.
28 All these things came upon king Nebuchadnezzar.
Te boeih te Nebukhadnezzar manghai taengah a pai pah.
29 After the end of twelve months, he was taking a walk in the palace of Babylon.
Hla hlai nit a bawtnah dongah tah Babylon ram kah bawkim ah om tih pongpa.
30 And the king spoke out loud, saying, “Isn’t this the great Babylon, which I have built, as the home of the kingdom, by the strength of my power and in the glory of my excellence?”
Te vaengah manghai te cal tih, “Babylon he a boeilen moenih a? He te kai loh ka thadueng sarhi neh kamah kah hinyahnah, thangpomnah ham ram kah im la ka sak,” a ti.
31 And while the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice rushed down from heaven, “To you, O king Nebuchadnezzar, it is said: ‘Your kingdom will be taken away from you,
Manghai ka dongah ol a cal li vaengah vaan lamkah ol cet tih, “Manghai Nebukhadnezzar nang hamla a thui tih ram he nang lamloh nong coeng.
32 and they will expel you from among men, and your dwelling will be with the beasts and the wild animals. You will eat hay like an ox, and seven times will pass over you, until you know that the Supreme One rules in the kingdom of men, and he gives it to whomever he wills.’”
Nang te hlang taeng lamloh m'vai coeng tih na khosaknah he kohong rhamsa nen ni a om. Nang te vaito bangla rham n'cah vetih a sangkoek kah a sangkoek loh hlang kah ram soah a hung tih te te a ngaih taengah a paek tila na ming hil nang hamla kum rhih thok ni,” a ti nah.
33 The same hour, the sentence was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven away from among men, and he ate hay like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until his hair increased like the feathers of eagles, and his nails like those of birds.
Amah ol a bangli vaengah Nebukhadnezzar soah a pha tih hlang taeng lamloh a vai uh. Te vaengah vaito bangla rham a caak tih a sam te atha bangla, a kuttin te vaa bangla a sai hil a pum te vaan kah buem loh a saep.
34 Therefore, at the end of these days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my mind was restored to me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and glorified him who lives forever. For his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is from generation to generation.
A tue bawtnah dongah tah, kai Nebukhadnezzar loh ka mik he vaan la ka huel hatah ka mingnah he ka taengla ha mael. Te dongah a sangkoek Khohni te ka koeh tih kumhal kah mulhing te ka oep tih ka hinyah nah. A khohung te dungyan kah khohung tih a ram kah thawnpuei lamloh cadilcahma duela cak.
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him. For he acts according to his own will, with the inhabitants of the earth just as with the holy inhabitants of heaven. And there is no one who can resist his hand, or say to him, “Why have you done this?”
Diklai khosa, khosa boeih tah aka om pawt bangla a ngai tih diklai khosa, khosa rhoek te vaan thadueng neh a ngaih bangla a saii. A kut te aka doek pa tih a taengah “Balae na saii?” aka ti nah te a om moenih.
36 At the same time, my mind returned to me, and I arrived at the honor and glory of my kingdom. And my appearance was given back to me. And my nobles and my magistrates needed me. And I was restored to my kingdom, and even greater majesty was added to me.
Ka mingnah loh ka taengah a mael tue vaengah, ka ram kah thangpomnah, kai hinyahnah neh ka aa ka taengla ha mael. Kai he ka olrhoep neh ka boei ka na rhoek loh n'toem uh. Ka ram he pai tih lennah kai taengah muep a thap.
37 Therefore I, Nebuchadnezzar, now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven, because all his works and the judgments of his way are true, and those who go forth in arrogance, he is able to bring low.
Kai Nebukhadnezzar tah n'oep tih m'pacuet coeng. Te dongah vaan kah manghai tah hinyah pai saeh. A bibi boeih he oltak tih a longpuei khaw tiktam. Te dongah koevoeinah neh aka pongpa te kunyun sak ham a noeng.
