< Daniel 5 >

1 Baltasar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles: and every one drank according to his age.
Belshazzar siangpahrang ni, a bawinaw 1,000 touh a kaw teh, ahnimouh hanelah pawi kalenpoung a to pouh teh, ahnimouh hoi misurtui rei a nei awh.
2 And being now drunk he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.
Misur tui a patek navah Belshazzar ni, apa ni Jerusalem bawkim thung e a lawp e sui manang, ngun manangnaw dawk hoi, siangpahrang hoi a bawinaw, a yu hoi adonaw ni misurtui nei nahanelah thokhai awh telah kâ a poe.
3 Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
Hat toteh, Cathut e bawkim thung e a lawp awh e suimanangnaw hah a la awh teh, siangpahrang hoi a bawinaw, a yu hoi adonaw ni hote manangnaw hoi misurtui a nei na awh.
4 They drank wine, and praised their gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
Misur tui a nei awh teh, sui cathut, ngun cathut, rahum cathut, sum cathut, thing cathut, talung cathutnaw hah a pholen awh.
5 In the same hour there appeared fingers, as it were of the hand of a man, writing over against the candlestick upon the surface of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king beheld the joints of the hand that wrote.
Hatnae tueng nah, tami e a kutdawn a tâco teh, hmaiimkhok lathueng, siangpahrang im tapang dawk a kâthut teh, hottelah ka thut e kutdawn hah siangpahrang ni a hmu.
6 Then was the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him: and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one against the other.
Hattoteh siangpahrang mei det a kamlang teh, a khopouk a ru dawkvah, a kenghru meimei doukkâlat lah ao teh, a khokpakhu thouk a kâkhawng pouh.
7 And the king cried out aloud to bring in the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon: Whosoever shall read this writing, and shall make known to me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and shall have a golden chain on his neck, and shall be the third man in my kingdom.
Camkathoum e Khaldean taminaw hoi khueyuenaw hah kaw awh telah puenghoi a hram. Hote ca hah a touk vaiteh a ngainae ka dei thai e tami teh, hnipaling kâkhu sak han, sui dingyin a lahuen dawk awi sak han, uknaeram thung vah apâthum e bawi, lawkcengkung lah ao han a ti.
8 Then came in all the king’s wise men, but they could neither read the writing, nor declare the interpretation to the king.
Tami kathoumthainaw pueng teh a tho awh. Hatei hote ca hah touk thai awh hoeh. A deingainae hai pâpho thai awh hoeh.
9 Wherewith king Baltasar was much troubled, and his countenance was changed: and his nobles also were troubled.
Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang Belshazzar teh, khopouk aru lawi a mei det a kamlang teh, a bawinaw puenghai muen ati awh.
10 Then the queen, on occasion of what had happened to the king, and his nobles, came into the banquet house: and she spoke and said: O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.
Hat toteh, siangpahrangnu ni siangpahrang hoi a bawinaw e lawk a thai navah, pawi thung a kâen teh, siangpahrang na hring saw seh. Na khopouk ru sak hanh. Na mei hai det kamlang sak hanh.
11 There is a man in thy kingdom that hath the spirit of the holy gods in him: and in the days of thy father knowledge and wisdom were found in him: for king Nabuchodonosor thy father appointed him prince of the wise men, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, thy father, I say, O king:
Kathoung Cathut Muitha ni a okhai e tami buet touh na uknaeram thung vah ao. Na pa se navah, ahni teh cathutnaw e lungangnae patet e lungangnae hoi panuenae a tawn e hah panue e lah ao. Na pa Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang roeroe ni ahni hah camkathoumnaw, mitpaleikathoumnaw, Khaldeannaw hoi khueyuenaw, kahrawikung lah a hruek toe.
12 Because a greater spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and shewing of secrets, and resolving of difficult things, were found in him, that is, in Daniel: whom the king named Baltassar. Now therefore let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, mang let thainae, ka ru e lawknaw hoi hoe kahawi e muitha, hoi panuenae, hah siangpahrang ni Belteshazzar telah min a poe e Daniel dawk ao e hah panue e lah ao. Hote Daniel hah kaw pawiteh a let thai han doeh atipouh.
13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke, and said to him: Art thou Daniel of the children of the captivity of Juda, whom my father the king brought out of Judea?
Hattoteh Daniel hah siangpahrang hmalah a thokhai awh. Siangpahrang ni, apa ni Judah ram hoi a man teh a hrawi e sannaw thung dawk ka bawk e Daniel nang maw.
14 I have heard of thee, that thou hast the spirit of the gods, and excellent knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom are found in thee.
Nang teh Cathut Muitha ni na okhai teh, hoe kahawi e panuenae nang dawk ao tie kamthang ka thai toe.
15 And now the wise men the magicians have come in before me, to read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof: and they could not declare to me the meaning of this writing.
Hote ca hah touk vaiteh a ngainae hah dei haw titeh camkathoumnaw hah kakaw eiteh, ahnimouh ni dei thai awh hoeh.
16 But I have heard of thee, that thou canst interpret obscure things, and resolve difficult things: now if thou art able to read the writing, and to shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third prince in my kingdom.
Nang ni na let thai, ka ru e lawk paceinae naw hai na dei thai telah ka thai tangcoung e patetlah nang ni hote ca na touk thai boilah, na let thai pawiteh, hnipaling na kâkhu vaiteh, na lahuen dawk sui dingyin na awi vaiteh, uknaeram thung apâthum e ukkung lah na o han atipouh.
17 To which Daniel made answer, and said before the king: Thy rewards be to thyself, and the gifts of thy house give to another: but the writing I will read to thee, O king, and shew thee the interpretation thereof.
Daniel ni, na hno poe hane naw teh nang namae lah awmseh. Poe han na ngai e tawkphunaw hah ayâ alouknaw maha poe yawkaw, hatei na hmalah hote ca hah ka touk vaiteh ka let vainei.
18 O king, the most high God gave to Nabuchodonosor thy father a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour.
Oe, siangpahrang Lathueng Poung e Cathut ni na pa Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang koe uknaeram, taluenae, bawilennae hoi barinae hah a poe.
19 And for the greatness that he gave to him, all people, tribes, and languages trembled, and were afraid of him: whom he would, he slew: and whom he would, he destroyed: and whom he would, he set up: and whom he would, he brought down.
Taluenae a poe dawkvah, tami pueng miphun puenghoi lawk cawngca pueng ni a bari awh teh, a hmalah a pâyaw awh. Thei han a ngai e pueng a thei teh, pasai a ngai e pueng hah a pasai. Thaw luen sak a ngai e pueng a luen sak teh, pabo a ngai e pueng a pabo.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto pride, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory was taken away.
A khopouk a rasang, a lungpata teh, kâoup hoi kho a sak. A bawilennae lah pouh lah ao teh, a bawitungkhung dawk hoi pabo lah ao.
21 And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him.
Taminaw koehoi pâlei lah ao teh, moithang lungthin a tawn sak. Lathueng poung Cathut ni taminaw e uknaeram lathueng kâ a tawn dawkvah, a ngai e tami hah uknaeram a poe e hah a panue hoehroukrak lanaw hoi reirei a pawngpa teh maito patetlah pho a ca teh, khotui cupcup kayu lah ao.
22 Thou also his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thy heart, whereas thou knewest all these things:
Hatei, a capa nang Belshazzar, nang ni hote hnonaw hah na panue eiteh na lungthin na ka rahnoum laipalah,
23 But hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven: and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee: and thou, and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified.
Kalvan Bawipa hah na taran teh, bawkim thung e manangnaw hah na la sak teh, nama hoi na bawinaw hoi na yu hoi a donaw ni hote manang hoi misurtui na nei awh. Hahoi sui, ngun, rahum, sum, thing, talung hoi sak e cathut, kahmawt thai hoeh e, ka thai thai hoeh e hah na pholen awh teh, na hringnae hoi na lamthung pueng ka kuenkung Cathut law teh pholen laipalah na o awh.
24 Wherefore he hath sent the part of the hand which hath written this that is set down.
Hatdawkvah kutdawn a patoun teh hote ca hah a thut sak.
25 And this is the writing that is written: MANE, THECEL, PHARES.
Hote ca teh; MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN
26 And this is the interpretation of the word. MANE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
MENE tie teh, na uknaeram hah Cathut ni a parei teh, a pâbaw toe.
27 THECEL: thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting.
TEKEL tie teh, nang hah yawcu dawk na khing boteh na kuep hoeh toe.
28 PHARES: thy kingdom is divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians.
PERES tie teh, na ukneram heh kapek lah ao toe. Media hoi Persia koe poe lah ao toe telah Daniel ni a dei pouh.
29 Then by the king’s command Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom.
Hat toteh, Belshazzar siangpahrang ni a dei e patetlah Daniel hah hnipaling a kâkhu sak teh, a lahuen dawk sui dingyin a awi sak teh, a uknaeram dawk apâthum e bawi lah ao telah khothung a kâhlaikhai awh teh a oung awh.
30 The same night Baltasar the Chaldean king was slain.
Hat hnin tangmin vah, Khaldean siangpahrang Belshazzar teh thei e lah ao.
31 And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being threescore and two years old.
A kum 62 touh ka phat e Media tami Darius siangpahrang ni uknaeram hah a lawp.
