Daniel 2
1 In the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign the king had dreams that upset him so much that he found it difficult to sleep.
Nebukhadnezar a bawinae a kum pahni navah, a mang lah a hmu e hno dawkvah roumkalue teh ip thai hoeh.
2 So the king summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to tell him what he had dreamed. They came in and stood before him.
Hat toteh, siangpahrang ni a ram thung kaawm e mitpalei kathoumnaw, kutkhetkathoumnaw, kahrai ka pâlei thainaw hoi, Khaldeannaw hah pâkhueng awh ati e patetlah ahnimanaw a tho awh teh,
3 “I've had a dream that has really upset me,” he told them. “I need to know what it means.”
siangpahrang ni ka mang lah ka hmu e hah bang ngainae ne, ka panue thai hoeh dawkvah, ka lung nawm hoeh, dei awh haw atipouh.
4 The astrologers answered the king in Aramaic, “May Your Majesty the king live forever! Tell us your dream and we your servants will interpret it for you.”
Hatnavah Khaldeannaw ni Aramaih lawk lahoi, siangpahrang na hring saw seh. Kaimouh koe na mang hah rui haw. Kaimouh ni na mang teh ka leh awh vai nei atipouh awh.
5 “I can't recall it,” the king told the astrologers. “If you can't reveal the dream to me, and its meaning, you will be cut into pieces and your houses will be totally destroyed!
Siangpahrang ni yo ka dei toung hat tayaw. Hote mang hoi a ngainae na dei thai awh hoehpawiteh, tawntarawn lah na tâtueng awh han. Na imlawnaw hai vaipuen songnawng lah ka coung sak han atipouh.
6 But if you can tell me the dream and its meaning you will receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. So tell me the dream and what it means!”
Mang hoi deingainae na deicai pawiteh, poehnonaw, tawkphunaw hoi barinae kalen a hmu han. Hatdawkvah, mang hoi deingainae hah kai koe dei awh telah Khaldean a lungkaangnaw koe atipouh.
7 Again they said the same thing: “If Your Majesty the king would tell us his servants the dream, we will explain what it means.”
Ahnimanaw ni, siangpahrang, na mang hah kaimouh koe dei haw, kaimouh ni ka leh awh vainei bout atipouh awh.
8 “It's obvious to me that you're just trying to buy time!” said the king. “You can see that I can't remember the dream.
Hat toteh, siangpahrang ni yo ka dei toung hatayaw. A hnin thapa asaw nahanelah atueng tahruet sak hane doeh na ngai awh tie ka panue.
9 If you can't reveal the dream to me, you will all receive the same punishment! You have conspired against me, telling me lies, hoping things will change. So tell me what my dream was and then I'll know that you can explain what it means.”
Mang hah na dei awh hoehpawiteh, pouknae buet touh duengdoeh kaawm. Atueng kasaw nakunghai, laithoe hrawnghrang doeh dei hanelah na kâcai awh toe. Mang hah bout deih awh. Hottelah na dei thai awh pawiteh, leh hai na leh thai awh han tie ka panue bout atipouh.
10 The astrologers answered the king, “No one on earth could tell the king what he dreamed! Never before has a king, however great and powerful, demanded this of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer!
Khaldeannaw ni, siangpahrang nang ni na dei e patetlah ka dei thai hane tami buet touh boehai awm hoeh. Bangpatet e siangpahrang ni hai a lentoe eiteh, mitpaleikathoumnaw, camkathoumnaw, Khaldean taminaw koe hettelah pacei boihoeh.
11 What Your Majesty is asking is impossible! No one can tell Your Majesty what you dreamed, except the gods, and they do not live among us mortals.”
Siangpahrang nang ni na pacei e teh, ka ru poung e hno doeh. Tami lah kaawm hoeh e Cathut hloilah apinihai pâpho thai mahoeh bout atipouh awh.
12 This made the king extremely angry, and he ordered all the wise men of Babylon executed.
Hote lawk hah a thai navah, puenghoi a lungkhuek teh, Babilon kho dawk kaawm e tami lungkaangnaw pueng koung thei lah awmseh telah kâ a poe.
13 The decree was issued. The wise men were about to be executed, and the king's men went looking for Daniel and his friends.
Hat toteh, hote kâ hah a pathang awh teh, a lungkaangnaw thei a kamtawng awh teh, Daniel hoi a huinaw hah thei hanlah a tawng awh.
14 Daniel approached Arioch, the commander of the imperial guard, whom the king had put in charge of the order to execute all the wise men of Babylon. Wisely and tactfully
Daniel ni bangkongmaw siangpahrang e kâ teh, hettelah totouh a rang vaw telah,
15 Daniel asked him, “Why would the king issue such a harsh decree?” So Arioch explained to Daniel what had happened.
Babilon tami lungkaangnaw thei hanlah ka cet e naw kahrawikung, siangpahrang ka ring e Ariok koe kâhruetcuet laihoi a pacei.
16 Daniel immediately went to see the king and asked for more time to explain the dream and its meaning to him.
Ariok ni hote konglamnaw hah a dei navah, Daniel ni siangpahrang im a kâen teh, hote mang deicai nahanelah atueng na poe ei telah a kâhei.
17 Then Daniel went home and shared with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah what was going on.
Hahoi ama im a ban teh, hote akongnaw hah a huinaw Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah tinaw koe a dei pouh.
18 He told them to pray to the God of heaven, asking for help regarding this mystery, so that he and his friends would not be killed along with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Hat toteh, maimouh teh alouke Babilon a lungkaangnaw hoi reirei due awh hoeh nahanelah, hete hrolawk dawk lungmanae coe awh nahan, kalvan Cathut koe ratoum awh sei ati awh.
19 That night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven:
Karum toteh Cathut ni vision lahoi, hote hrolawk hah Daniel koe a dei pouh.
20 “Praise the wonderful nature of God forever and ever, for he is wise and powerful.
Hat toteh, Daniel ni kalvan Cathut e lungmanae hah a pholen teh, Cathut min teh a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe ditouh pholen lah awmseh. Lungangnae hoi hnotithainae hoi akawi.
21 He is in charge of time and history. He removes kings, and he sets kings in place. He gives wisdom to make people wise; he gives knowledge to people so they can understand.
A tue hoi khotue naw hah a kâthung sak. Siangpahrangnaw hai a pabo, a tawmtakhang, a lungkaang e naw koe lungangnae na poe. Kho ka pouk thai naw ni hai na lungmanae dawk hoi doeh a panue thai awh.
22 He reveals deep, mysterious things. He knows what lies in darkness, and light lives in his presence.
Ka ru e hnonaw hai kamcengcalah, na patue awh. A hmonae koe kaawm e pueng na panue teh, nama koe angnae teh ao.
23 I give thanks and praise to you, God of my fathers, for you have given me wisdom and power. Now you have revealed to me what we asked you; you have revealed to us the king's dream.”
Mintoenaw e Cathut, hnotithainae hoi lungangnae na poe teh, kaimouh ni ka ratoum awh e patetlah siangpahrang e a mang pâpho thainae lungangnae teh ka pholen telah Daniel ni a ratoum.
24 So Daniel went to Arioch whom the king had ordered to execute the wise men of Babylon and told him, “Don't execute the wise men of Babylon! Take me to see the king and I will explain to him his dream.”
Hathnukkhu Babilon lungkaangnaw thei hanlah a patoun e Ariok koe a cei teh, Babilon tami lungkaangnaw hah thet hanh. Kai hah siangpahrang koe na thak haw. Kai ni mang hoi deingainae hah ka pâpho pouh vainei atipouh.
25 Arioch immediately took Daniel to the king and told him, “I've found one of the captives from Judah who can tell Your Majesty what your dream means.”
Hat toteh, Ariok ni Daniel hah karanglah siangpahrang koe a hrawi teh, siangpahrang, nange mang hoi deingainae ka pâpho thai e tami Judahnaw man e thung dawk e buet touh ka hmu toe atipouh.
26 The king asked Daniel (also called Belteshazzar), “Are you really able to tell me what my dream was, and what it means?”
Siangpahrang ni kai ni ka mang e mang hah dei vaiteh deingainae hah na pâpho thai han maw telah Belteshazzar tie Daniel hah a pacei navah,
27 “No wise men or enchanters or magicians or diviners can explain the mystery Your Majesty wants to know,” Daniel replied.
Daniel ni siangpahrang, nang ni na pacei e hah a lungkaangnaw, camkathoumnaw, mitpaleikathoumnaw, hoi khueyuenaw ni pâpho thai mahoeh.
28 “But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has revealed to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the last days. Your dream and the visions that came to your mind as you were lying in bed were these.
Hro e naw ka pâpho niteh, ato hmalah ka tho hane naw siangpahrang nang koe ka dei pouh e Cathut buet touh duengdoeh kalvan vah kaawm.
29 As Your Majesty lay there, your thoughts turned to the future, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what would take place.
Oe siangpahrang, na i navah ato hmalah ka tho hane naw hah na pouk. Hro e naw kapâphokung Cathut ni ato hmalah ka tho hane naw hah nang koe na patue.
30 It's not because I have any more wisdom than anyone else that this mystery has been revealed to me, but to explain to Your Majesty what you were thinking about so you could understand.
Hete hro e hno hah, kai teh alouke moithangnaw hlak hoe ka lungang dawkvah kai koe a pâpho e nahoeh. Nang ni na lungthung na pouk e naw hah na panue thai nahanlah doeh deingainae naw hah Cathut ni na pâpho pouh.
31 Your Majesty, as you looked, there before you stood a great statue. The statue standing in front of you was huge, and blazingly bright. It looked terrifying!
Siangpahrang, na i lahun nah na mang e vision teh, na khet navah meikaphawk hah na hmu. Athakaawme lah ao. Hote meikaphawk teh, taki ka tho e meilam hoi na hmalah a kâpâhung.
32 The head of the statue was gold, the chest and arms were silver, its middle and thighs were bronze,
A lû teh sui, a lungtabue hoi a kut roi teh ngun lah ao.
33 its legs were iron, and its feet were iron and baked clay.
A von hoi a phai roi teh, rahum lah ao. A khok buembue roi teh sum lah ao. Khoktabei hoi khoksampha teh sum atangawn amhru atangawn lah ao.
34 While you were watching, a stone was quarried, but not by human hands. It struck the iron and clay feet of the statue and smashed them to pieces.
Nang ni na khet lahun nah, kut hoi sak hoeh e amahmawk kaawm e talung buet touh ni, meikaphawk e khok sum tangawn amhru tangawn e koe a ten torei teh,
35 Then the rest of the statue—the bronze, the silver, and the gold—broke into pieces like the iron and clay. The wind blew them all away like chaff from the summer threshing floor, so that no trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
sum, amhru, rahum, ngun, sui naw teh, reppasei lah ao. Kawmpoi vah, cangkatinnae koe e vaiphu patetlah ao nahan awm laipalah, kahlî ni a palek teh a kahma. Meikaphawk ka ten e talung a roung teh, kalenpounge mon lah a coung. Talaivan pueng koung a ramuk telah mang na sak.
36 This was the dream, and now we will explain what it means to the king.
Atuvah, mang ni deingainae na dei pouh vai.
37 Your Majesty, you are the king of kings to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, and power, strength, and glory.
Siangpahrang, nang teh siangpahrangnaw e siangpahrang lah na o. Kalvan Cathut ni uknaeram, thasainae, hoi bawilennae na poe toe.
38 He gave you control over all peoples, as well as the wild animals and birds. He made you ruler of all of them. You are the head of gold.
Tami khosaknae hmuen pueng koe, saringnaw hoi kahlun e tavanaw pueng na kut dawk poe lah ao teh, abuemlahoi uknae kâ na tawn. Nang teh, meikaphawk e suilû lah na o.
39 But after you another kingdom will rise that is inferior to your kingdom and will replace yours. After that a third kingdom that is bronze will rise and rule over the whole world.
Nang hnukkhu lah, nang patetlah kalen hoeh e alouke uknaeram a tâco han. Hathnukkhu talai van pueng ka uk hane apâthum e rahum ram a tâco han.
40 The fourth kingdom will be strong as iron and in the same way that iron crushes and smashes everything; it will crush and smash all others.
Apalinae uknaeram teh, sum patetlah kate e lah ao han. Sum teh alouke hno pueng a raphoe thai e patetlah apalinae ram ni raphoe vaiteh, a rektap han.
41 You saw the feet and toes made from iron and baked clay, and this indicates it will be a divided kingdom. It will have some of the strength of iron but mixed with clay.
Kutsak e khoktabei hoi khoksamphanaw teh, sum tangawn amhru tangawn lah ao e hah na hmu e patetlah, buet touh hoi buet touh kâtaran e uknaeram lah ao han. Hatei, amhru pâeng e hoi sum kalawt e na hmu e patetlah sum teh a tê han.
42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
Khokcareinaw teh sum tangawn amhru tangawn lah ao e na hmu e patetlah, uknaeram atangawn teh a tê han, atangawn teh a rawk a yawi han.
43 In the same way that you saw the iron mixed with ordinary clay, so the people will mix but they will not stick together just as iron and clay do not mix.
Amhru pâeng e hoi sum kalawt e hah na hmu e patetlah khocanaw teh ram alouknaw hoi a kâkalawt awh han. Hatei, amhru hoi sum a kâkalawt thai hoeh e patetlah buet touh hoi buet touh kâpo thai mahoeh.
44 During the time of these kings the God of heaven will set up an eternal kingdom that will never be destroyed or taken over by others. It will crush all these kingdoms, bringing them to an end, and it will last forever,
Kut hoi sak hoeh e talung buet touh ni mon hoi amahmawk a kamlei teh, sum, rahum, ngun, sui, amhrunaw hah reppasei lah a ten e na hmu e hateh, rawknae koe ka phat thai hoeh e, hote bawinae tueng nah kalvan Cathut ni uknaeram a kangdue sak han. Hote teh Jentelnaw e kut dawk phat toung laipalah, ahmaloe dei tangcoung e ram pueng hah raphoe vaiteh, a yungyoe a cak han.
45 in the same way that you saw the stone quarried from the mountain, but not by human hands, crush the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold. The great God has revealed to Your Majesty what is to come. The dream is true, and the explanation is trustworthy.”
Hottelah, ato hmalah ka tho hane hnonaw hah ka lentoe poung e Cathut ni siangpahrang nang koe a dei e doeh. Nange mang teh, katang e doeh. Deicainae hai kahman e doeh telah Daniel ni a dei pouh.
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell down before Daniel and worshiped him, and ordered offerings of grain and incense to be made to him.
Hattoteh siangpahrang ni Daniel hmalah a tabo teh barinae a poe. Hmuitui hmaisawi hane hoi pasoumhno pasoung hanelah kâ a poe hnukkhu,
47 The king said to Daniel, “Truly, your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, the revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.”
nang ni hete hrolawk hah na pâpho thai dawkvah, atangcalah nange Cathut teh, cathutnaw e Cathut, siangpahrangnaw e Bawi, hrolawk ka pâpho thai e Bawipa doeh telah a ti.
48 Then the king promoted Daniel to a high position and gave him many expensive gifts, making him governor over the whole province of Babylon and head of all the wise men of Babylon.
Hat toteh, Daniel hah thaw a luen sak teh, hnopai moikapap a poe hnukkhu, Babilon ram dawk bawi lah thoseh, Babilon lungkaangnaw kaukkung bawi lah a ta.
49 At Daniel's request, the king placed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in charge of the province of Babylon, and Daniel remained at the king's court.
Hat toteh, Daniel ni a kâhei e patetlah siangpahrang ni, Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw hah Babilon ram thung thaw katawkkung lah a ta. Hatei, Daniel teh siangpahrang im vah a tahung.
