Daniel 4

1 Nabuchodonosor the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues, that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied unto you.

Nebuchadnezzar lengpan, leiset chunga cheng chitin leh namtin chuleh pao tintang ho heng’a, hiche thuhi athot tai, Na chung’uva chamna leh kipana leng hen.

2 The most high God hath wrought signs and wonders toward me. It hath seemed good to me therefore to publish

Hatchungnung Pathen in kaheng’a aphondoh thil kidang ho chuleh melchihna ho chengse hi, nangho hetdinga phondohson ding kadei ahi.

3 His signs, because they are great: and his wonders, because they are mighty: and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, I and his power to all generations.

Aman melchihna abolho itobanga loupi hitam, Aman thil kidang abolho itobanga thahat hitam! Ama lenggam chu tonsot leng gam ahin, Ama lengvaipoh jong akhang khanga umjing ding ahi tai.

4 I, Nabuchodonosor, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:

Nebuchadnezzar, keima hi, nomsa tah leh ima jouse ninglhing sel’in, ka leng inpia ka cheng’e.

5 I saw a dream that affrighted me: and my thoughts in my bed, and the visions of my head troubled me.

Chuin jankhat chu mang ka neiyin, hichun eisu kicha lhehin ahi. Keima jalkhun’a kalumin, gaovin themgao thilmu kaneiye. Hiche kamang chun eisu lunggim lheh jeng in ahi.

6 Then I set forth a decree, that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought in before me, and that they should shew me the interpretation of the dream.

Chuin keiman Babylon gamsung pumpia miching mithem ho abonchauvin ka koukhom in, kamang chu ka seipeh tai. Ahivang in, amahon kamang chu ipi tina ham, eiseipeh thei deh pouve.

7 Then came in the diviners, the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and I told the dream before them: but they did not shew me the interpretation thereof:

8 Till their colleague Daniel came in before me, whose name is Baltassar, according to the name of my god, who hath in him the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him.

Achainan, Daniel kaheng’a ahung’in, ken jong ama heng’a kamang chu kasei tai. Daniel chu, keima Pathen min’a kon’a Belteshazzar kasah ahin, chuleh Pathen thengho lhagao chu ama chunga cheng ahi.

9 Baltassar, prince of the diviners, because I know that thou hast in thee the spirit of the holy gods, and that no secret is impossible to thee: tell me the visions of my dreams that I have seen, and the interpretation of them.

Keiman ama jah’a, Vo Belteshazzar mitphel doithem ho jouse pipu pa nahin, nachung’a pathen thengho lhagao cheng’a ahi kahei, chuleh nang din thil ki-imho hetdoh theilou leh het hahsa aumpoi. Tun kamang chu hiche ahi ipi tina ham neisei peh in,

10 This was the vision of my head in my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was exceeding great.

Keima ka jalkhun’a ka luppet’a, themgao thilmua kamu kamang chu hiti ahi. Keiman leiset lailung tah’a thingphung lentah khat kamun.

11 The tree was great, and strong: and the height thereof reached unto heaven: the sight thereof was even to the ends of all the earth.

Thingphung chun akhang khang in, van aphan asang lheh jeng in, leiset pumpia mutheiyin aum in, lentah leh thahat tahin akehdet tai.

12 Its leaves were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much: and in it was food for all: under it dwelt cattle, and beasts, and in the branches thereof the fowls of the air had their abode: and all flesh did eat of it.

Thingphung chu ana ho ahingin ahoijin, aga jong abulhingset in, miho jouse nehthei ding aum e. Alim noija chun gamlah gamsa ho akol’un, abah lah’a chun vachate achenguve. Hiche thingphung’a kon chun, ahing thei jouse akivah’uve.

13 I saw in the vision of my head upon my bed, and behold a watcher, and a holy one came down from heaven.

Chuin jalkhun’a kalup’a mang ka nei pet chun, themgao thilmun, van’a kon’a Pathen vantil khat ahung kumlhah kamui.

14 He cried aloud, and said thus: Cut down the tree, and chop off the branches thereof: shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruits: let the beasts fly away that are under it, and the birds from its branches.

Vantil chun lhang asam in, “Thingphung chu phuhlhu uvin chuleh abah ho tanlha uvin. Ana ho malngim unlang chuleh aga ho thethang soh un. Alim noija kon in gamsa holeh abah ho lah’a kon in vachate ho delmang soh un.

15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be tied with a band of iron, and of brass, among the grass, that is without, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the wild beasts in the grass of the earth.

Amavang, thingbul leh ajung chu leiset’a umden sah’un, thihkhao leh sum-eng in kanchah’unlang daitwiyin hin chapnou hen, chuleh leiset’a hamhing lah’a gamsa hotoh hingkhom tahen.

16 Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given him; and let seven times pass over him.

Chuleh kum sagi sung chu, amapan mihem lungthim neitalouvin, gamsa lungthim nei tahen.

17 This is the decree by the sentence of the watchers, and the word And demand of the holy ones; till the living know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men; and he will give it to whomsoever it shall please him, and he will appoint the basest man over it.

Hiche hi Atheng ho chun thu apeh’a, lhangsam hon thugahna chu aphondoh ahi. Ajeh chu chungnung pen Pathen vannoi lenggam jouse chung’a vaihom ahi. Aman pha asah sah alhen’a, mi noinung pen ho jong apehji ahi, ti mihing jousen hecheh hen.

18 I king Nabuchodonosor saw this dream: thou, therefore, O Baltassar, tell me quickly the interpretation: for all the wise men of my kingdom axe not able to declare the meaning of it to me: but thou art able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

Vo Belteshazzar, hiche hi, keima leng Nebuchadnezzar in mang kanei chu ahi. Tun kamang hi ipi kiseina ham, nei seipeh in, ajeh chu ka lenggam sung’a miching mithem ho jousen aphondoh theilouvu ahitai. Amavang, nangin na phondoh thei ahi, ajeh chu Pathen theng lhagao chu na chung’a acheng’e, ati.

19 Then Daniel, whose name was Baltassar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour: and his thoughts troubled him. But the king answering, said: Baltassar, let not the dream and the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Baltassar answered, and said: My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thy enemies.

Hiche ajah phat chun, Belteshazzar jong kisah, Daniel chu chomkhat alung dong den’in, chuleh mang kiledohna chu agelleh alung gimtan ahi. Chuin lengpan ajah’a, Belteshazzar, kamang chu lungdonpi hih in, chuleh aledohna jong lunggimpi dan, ati. Belteshazzar in adonbut in, Lengpa, namang hi na kidoupi ho mang hihen lang, chuleh aledohna jong hi na chung’a chu louvin na melmate chung’a chu ding hijo leh kati.

20 The tree which thou sawest which was high and strong, whose height reached to the skies, and the sight thereof into all tire earth:

Namang’a namu thingphung chu akhang khang in, asang lheh jeng in, chuleh dettah in akehdoh tan, van aphah geijin akhang khang in, vannoi mijouse mutheiyin akhang doh’e.

21 And the branches thereof were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much, and in it was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and the birds of the air had their abode in its branches.

Ana jong a-eng hoiselin chuleh aphung’a chun mitin nehkham ninglhingset in aga dohin, alimnoija chun gamsate acheng’un chuleh abah ho lah’a chun vachate acheng dimset’uve.

22 It is thou, O king, who art grown great and become mighty: for thy greatness hath grown, and hath reached to heaven, and thy power unto the ends of the earth.

Vo! lengpa, hiche thingphung chu nangma nahi. Nangma dettah leh loupitah in nahung khang doh tan, nalal loupina chu van geijin akhangdoh in, naleng vaihomna jong leiset kolmang geijin nalo soh tai.

23 And whereas the king saw a watcher, and a holy one come down from heaven, and say: Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass among the grass without, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, till seven times pass over him.

Chuin vantil theng khat, van’a kon’a hung kumlha namun, hitin aseiye, “Thingphung chu phuhlhu in chuleh sumang in. Amavang, tol’a umden abul leh ajungho chu khen in, hichu thihkhao leh sum-eng khaovin kanchah in dalhan, hamdong lah’a chun. Amachu van’a kon’a hunglha daitwiyin chapkotji hen, chuleh kum sagi sungin gamsa hotoh gamlah’a hingkhom’u hen.”

24 This is the interpretation of the sentence of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king.

Hiche hi namang aledohna chu ahi. Chungnungpen Pathen in nahenga aphondoh chu, Vo! Lengpa, nachung’a hung lhung tei ding ahi.

25 They shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and with wild beasts, and thou shalt eat grass as an ox, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven: and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

Nangma mihem ho lah’a kon’a na kino mang ding, gamlah’a gamsa hotoh nahin khomding. Nangman bong ho bang’a hamhing naneh’a, chuleh van’a kon’a hunglha daitwi nadou ding. Hitia chu kum sagi sung naum ding, Chungnungpen Pathenin lenggam jouse chung’a vai ahom’in, mi koi hileh aman adei lhen chu lenggam apehji ahi ti na hetdoh kah a hitia chu naumding ahi.

26 But whereas he commanded, that the stump of the roots thereof, that is, of the tree, should be left: thy kingdom shall remain to thee after thou shalt have known that power is from heaven.

Amavang, thingbul leh ajungho chu khenden in dalhan kitina chu, nangman van Pathen in lenggam jousea vai ahom ahi, ti nahetdoh nikho leh, nalenggam nanung chan kit ding ahi.

27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and redeem thou thy sins with alms, and thy iniquities with works of mercy to the poor: perhaps he will forgive thy offences.

Vo! Lengpa Nebuchadnezzar, ka thumop hi kisanlutin. Adih jeng chu bol’in chuleh chonset chu pailhan. Vaichate khoton lang na chonsetna hin dalhan. Chutileh nangma cham leh lungmong’a na khantou jing ding ahi.

28 All these things came upon king Nabuchodonosor.

Ahivang in Nebuchadnezzar lengpa chung’a thil hijatpi hi alhung soh tan ahi.

29 At the end of twelve months he was walking in the palace of Babylon.

Lhasom leh lhani nung in, Nebuchadnezzar lengpa chu, khatvei aleng inpi chung’a ahung vahlen ahi.

30 And the king answered, and said: Is not this the great Babylon, which I have built to be the seat of the kingdom, by the strength of my power, and in the glory of my excellence?

Aman khopi sung chu aven aseitai, “Vetan, Babylon khopi loupi tah hi! Keima chenna leng inpi ding leh kalal loupina phondohna-a, keiman ka thahat’a hiche khopi hoitah hi ka sahdoh ahi,’’ ati.

31 And while the word was yet in the king’s mouth, a voice came down from heaven: To thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, it is said: Thy kingdom shall pass from thee,

Lengpan kiletsahna thusei aseichai masangin, van’a kon’in aw ahung ging in, Vo! Lengpa Nebuchadnezzar, hiche thuhi nang’a ding kisei ahi. Na lenggam leh na vaihomna naki lahpeh ahi tai.

32 And they shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and wild beasts: thou shalt eat grass like an ox, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

Nang jong mihem lah’a kon’a na kidelmang ding, gamlah’a gamsa hotoh nahin khom ding chuleh bong banga hamhing naneh ding ahi. Leiset a lenggam jouse hi Chungnungpen Pathen vaihomna thunoija um ahin, aman adei dei chu lenggam apehji ahi ti nahetdoh kahsea, kum sagi sung’a hiche hi nadou ding ahi,’’ ati.

33 The same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor, and he was driven away from among men, and did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till his hairs grew like the feathers of eagles, and his nails like birds’ claws.

Hitia thu aseijou jou chun, Pathen thutanna chu Nebuchadnezzar chung’a aguilhung tai. Ama jong mihem lah’a kon’in delmang in aum tai. Aman bong bang in hamhing anen chuleh van’a kon hunglha daitwi chu adouvin, alujang sam jong Muvanlai mul bang in asao doh in chuleh atin jong mutin bangin asaodoh in, gamsa bang in hinkho amang tai.

34 Now at the end of the days, I Nabuchodonosor lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my sense was restored to me: and I blessed the most High, and I praised and glorified him that liveth for ever: for his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is to all generations.

Hiche ka thoh nikho ho chu ahung kichai tan, keima Nebuchadnezzar in, vanlam kaven ahileh ka lung ahung limdoh kittai. Hichun keiman Chungnungpen Pathen atonsot’a hing jing chu ka vahchoiyin chuleh jatahin kahou tai. Ajeh chu, aleng vaihomna hi kemtih neilou ahin, chuleh alenggam jong tonsot’a umjing ahi.

35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him: for he doth according to his will, I as well with the powers of heaven, as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that can resist his hand, and say to him: Why hast thou done it?

Leiset chung’a mihem jouse hi, ama loupi leh thahat toh tepiding in, ima hilou ahi bouve. Aman van’a vantil ho lah’a chuleh leiset’a mihem ho lah’a, athu tah’a adei dei abolji ahin, koiman nabol hi ipi hija, tia akhut tuhtang ding aum poi.

36 At the same time my sense returned to me, and I came to the honour and glory of my kingdom: and my shape returned to me: and my nobles, and my magistrates sought for me, and I was restored to my kingdom: and greater majesty was added to me.

Chu in kalung ahung limdohkit phat chun, masang’a ka lenggam leh ka loupina ho jong chu kahin geldoh kittai. Keima thumop’a pangho leh sepai vaihom hon eihung holdoh uvin, avelin ka-lenggam chu kalo kit in, lengvai pon ei-tungdohkit un, masang’a sang chun loupi jochehin ka umtai.

37 Therefore I Nabuchodonosor do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Tunvang, keima Nebuchadnezzar kitipan, van lengpa Pathen chu ka vahchoiyin, ka choi-an in chuleh ama chu jaboltah in kahou tai. Ajeh chu, ama natoh thilbol hohi abon’a adih leh thutah jeng ahi. Mi koi hileh, akiletsah tapou chu asuhnem theiji ahi.
