Daniel 1
1 During the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem and surrounded it.
Judah lengpa, Jehoiakim lengvaipoh kumthum lhin kumin, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar chu Jerusalem’a ahungin, khopi chu a-umkimin, a-opkhumden tai.
2 The Lord allowed him to defeat King Jehoiakim, and also to remove some of the objects used in the Temple of God. He took them back to Babylon, to the house of his god, placing them in the treasury of his god.
Pakaiyin, Nebuchadnezzar chu, Judah lengpa Jehoiakim chung’a galjona apen, lengpa leh Pathen houin’a thil theng phabep ho jong, akhut’a apedoh tai. Hijeh chun Nebuchadnezzar’in, lengpa ahin, thil achom ho chu ahin, abonin Babylon gam’a apolutin, athil ho jouse chu ama pathen Hou-in’a thil kikholna’a chun akoi tai.
3 Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to take charge of some of the captured Israelites from the royal and noble families,
Chu-in lengpa’n a sepai lamkai Ashpenaz kiti nukiso ho pipua pangpa jah’a, galhing’a hung kikaiho lah’a, Judah lengte insungmi phabep chuleh adang milen milal ho insungmi phabep, ama leng inpia ahinpuilut dingin thu apetai.
4 “They are to be young men without any physical defect who are good-looking,” he said. “They must be well-educated, quick to learn, have good insight, and be well able to serve in the king's palace and be taught the literature and language of Babylon.”
Aman golhang melpha, chihna leh hetna bukim, tahsa damthei chuleh leng inpia lolhing tah’a lhacha thei ding, holdoh inlang, amaho chu Babylon gam pao leh chondan lekha hil ding chuleh jilsah ding ahiuve, ati.
5 The king also provided them with a daily allowance of the same kind of rich food and wine he was served. At the end of their three years of education they would enter the king's service.
Lengpa’n amaho ding chun, niseh’a ama neh leh don bang bang, an-neh twitah leh don ding ju twitah, agonpehin ahi. Kumthum sung’a amaho chu, kihilna leh kijilna anei uva chujou tahleh, leng inpi vaihom lhacha ding’a lut ding ahiuve.
6 Among those chosen were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, from the tribe of Judah.
Judah phung leh nam’a kon’a kilheng doh golhang khangdong mili ho chu Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael chuleh Azariah ahiuve.
7 The chief eunuch gave them new names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego.
Nu-kiso ho lamkai pipu chun, amahose chu, Babylonte minthah asempehin, Daniel chu Belteshazzar, Hananiah chu Shadrach, Mishael chu Meshach chuleh Azariah chu Abednego asah tan ahi.
8 However, Daniel made up his mind not to make himself impure by eating the king's rich food and wine. He asked the chief eunuch to allow him not to make himself impure.
Ahivangin, Daniel chun lengpa’a kon anneh twitah leh don ding ju twitah hung kipe chu, neh’a chuleh don’a ama hinna kisuh boh louna dingin, kigellhahna dettah aneitai. Hijeh chun, aman nukiso ho pipu kom’a chun, lengpa’a kon hung kipe neh leh don hochu, nehdateina dingin phalna athum tai.
9 God had helped Daniel to be viewed with kindness and sympathy by the chief eunuch.
Hichun, Pathenin, nukiso ho pipu pa lungsung’a chun, Daniel hepina leh gelkhohna ahinpe tan ahi.
10 But the chief eunuch told Daniel, “I'm afraid of what my lord the king would do to me. He's the one who decided what you should eat and drink. What if he were to see you looking pale and sickly compared to the other young men of your age. Because of you the king would have my head!”
Ahivangin nukiso ho pipu chun, Daniel jah’a, “Nangho ding anneh leh don ding ju, gongtup’a eipansahpa kapu lengpa kakicha lheh e. Ijem-tin, nakibahpi na gol ho sangin namel hung gong hen lang, na tahsa hung lhasam khaleh, nangma jal’a keima lu kitan lo ding ahi, kati aja lheh’e,’’ ati tai.
11 Daniel then spoke with the guard that the chief eunuch had put in charge of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Hichun Danielin, nukiso ho pipu pan amaho chu: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael chuleh Azariah, vetup ding’a atum’a anganse pa jah’a chun, asei tai.
12 “Please put us, your servants, to the test and just give us vegetables to eat and water to drink for ten days,” Daniel told him.
Lungset in, nisom sung nei patepun, kaneh diu anche leh ka don diu twi keoseh bou neipeuvin.
13 “After that, compare us with those young men who ate the king's rich food. Then decide on the basis of what you see.”
Nisom jou tengleh, lengpa’a kon anneh twitah nea chuleh ju twitah don golhang ho chutoh neivet kah’un. Hichea namubang bang chun, keiho chung’a thulhuhna bol jengin, khoh kasa pouve, ati tai.
14 The guard agreed to the proposal they made and tested them for ten days.
Hichun, Daniel thusei chu, amaho vetup’a pangpan anop pehin, nisom sung apatepin avetai.
15 When the ten days were up they looked healthier and better fed than all the young men who had eaten the king's rich food.
Nisom lhinin, lengpa anneh twitah leh ju twitah’a kivah golhang ho sangin, Daniel leh aloi mithum ho chu, amel’u ahoijoh’a chuleh atahsa’u jong adamthei joh chu, mudoh ahitauve.
16 After that the guard didn't give them the rich food and wine, just vegetables.
Hichun achinguva pangpa chun, amaho ding’a kigong anneh twitah leh ju hochu aladohin, aneh diuvin anche bou apetai.
17 God gave these four young men the ability to learn and understand in all areas of literature and knowledge, while Daniel was also given the gift of interpreting all kinds of visions and dreams.
Pathenin hiche golhang li ho chu, midang ho sangin chihna, thepna chuleh ijakai hetna apen ahi. Chuleh adehsetin, Daniel chu, themgao thu leh mang ho hetna leh ledoh theina apen ahi.
18 When their time of education ordered by the king was over, the chief eunuch brought all the young men before King Nebuchadnezzar.
Akijilnau phatsung alhin tah chun, lengpa thupeh dungyuijin, nukiso ho pipu chun, amaho chu abon’un Nebuchadnezzar lengpa angsung’a ahin pui lut tai.
19 The king talked with them and none could compare with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the king's service.
Lengpa’n amaho chu akihoupin ahileh, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael chuleh Azariah ho chung’a alung lhei bang chun, midang koima chung’a amu tapoi. Hijeh chun, amaho chu leng inpia lhacha vaihom in alut tauvin ahi.
20 Whatever subject the king asked them about, everything that required wisdom of understanding, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom.
Hichun lengpa’n amaho chu, chihna leh hetkhenna pum’a thutan vaihomna thuho adoh’a akihoupina-a chun, alenggam sung pumpia mitpheldoi themho leh ai-lhim themho jouse sangin, ale som in athemjo uve ti amudoh tan ahi.
21 Daniel remained in this position until the first year of King Cyrus' reign.
Daniel chu, Cyrus lengpa lengchan kal kumkhat lhingei jin, leng inpi lhacha vaihom in apang in ahi.
