Daniel 2
1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, with which his spirit was troubled, and his sleep broke from him.
Nebuchadnezzar chu, alengchan kal kumni lhin chun, jankhat mang nommo tah aneyin, imuthei louvin alunggimpi lheh jengin ahi.
2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to show the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
Hijeh chun lengpa’n, mitphel doithem ho, ai-lhimthem ho, doichoi ho chuleh ahsi lekhathem ho akouvin, ajah’uva, amang chu aseidoh peh diuvin thupeh anei tai. Amaho jong lengpa angsung’a ahung ding soh tauve.
3 And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
Hichun lengpan ajah’uva, “Mang heltah khat kaneiyin, hichun ei sugimlheh jeng tai. Kamang chu ipi kiseina ham, ka hetdoh louva khoh ahi’’ ati tai.
4 Then spoke the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
Hichun Ahsi lekhathem ho chun, lengpa jah’a, “Lengpa hingsot in. Namang chu nasohte hi nei seipehun, chuleh keihon aledohna chu na sei peh tauving’e’’ atiuve.
5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if you will not make known to me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
Lengpa’n amaho chu adonbut in, “Keiman kaseidohsa kakhel louhel ahi nahe’uve. Nanghon kamang chu ipi hija, ipi kiseina ham, nasei dohlou poupou’u leh, na tahsa’u chu ahal hal’a kibottel ding chuleh na-in hou jong kiphelha’a vut kiso ding ahi.
6 But if you show the dream, and the interpretation thereof, you shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor: therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
Amavang, nanghon kamang chu na seidoh’uva chuleh na ledoh thei’u leh, keiman nangho thilpeh loupitah leh jabolna sangtah kapeh ding nahiuve. Tun, kamang chu seidohun lang, chuleh aledohna jong ipi ham, sei tauvin’’ ati tai.
7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.
Chuin amahon avellin asei kit’un, Vo lengpa nei lungsetun. Namang chu nei seipehun lang chutah leh keihon aledohna chu ka seipeh thei ding’u ahi’’ atiuvin ahi.
8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that you would gain the time, because you see the thing is gone from me.
Lengpa’n amaho chu adonbut in, Ipi nabol’u ahi, ka henai. Nanghon, ka seidoh ka khellou na het jeh’uva
9 But if you will not make known to me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can show me the interpretation thereof.
Chuleh kamang na seidoh theilou poupou u-leh na manthah ding’u ahi, kati jeh’a, phat che che nading nagel’u ahi. Hijeh chun, keima jouva lhepna din na kihou guhun, phat chal dungyuija kalung kakhel khahleh tia nakinepu ahi. Kasei ahi, kamang chu seidohun, chutah leh nanghon mang chu na ledoh thei ding’u ahi, ti kahet ding ahi.
10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man on the earth that can show the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
Ahsi lekhathem hon, lengpa chu adonbut kit’un,’ “Leiset chung mihem khat chan jong lengpa mang chu seidohpeh theiponte. Chuleh leng loupitah leh thahattah hon jong, koiman hitobang hi mitphel doithem ho, ai-lhim them ho, doichoi ho chuleh ahsi lekhathem ho adong kha poi.
11 And it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is none other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
Lengpa thildei hi ahitheilou beh ding ahibouve. Tahsa mihem lah’a hilou pathen ho tilouvin, koiman namang chu seidoh pehthei ponte’’ atiuvin ahi.
12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Hitia aseiyu chu lengpan ajan, alung hang behset jengin, Babylon gamsung’a miching mithem ho abon’a thagam dingin, thupeh anei tai.
13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
Lengpa thupeh chu aki thejal tan, Daniel le aloiho tha dingin ahol tauvin ahi.
14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
Miching mithem ho thatgam ding’a kondoh, Lengpa sepai lamkai Arioch chu, amaho that jeng ding’a ahung phat chun, Danielin chingtheitah le lunggel them tahin ana kihoupin ahi.
15 He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
Aman Arioch jah’a chun, “Ipi jeh’a lengpa’n hitobang thupeh nasa hi kino tah’a abol jeng hitam?” ati. Chuin Ariochin jong, thilsoh umdan chu abon’in Daniel chu aseipeh tai.
16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.
Apettah chun, Daniel jong lengpa heng’a avahlut jengin, lengpa kom’a amang ledohna ding phat chomkhat athumbe tan ahi.
17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
Chuin Daniel chu inlam’a akilen, aloiho Hananiah, Mishael chuleh Azariah kom’a chun, thilsoh umdan chu aseipeh tai.
18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Aman, thuguh ki-im chu ahetdoh theinadiu le, amaho chengtoh Babylon gam’a aching athem adangho jong, thagam’a aumlouna dinguva, Van Pathen hepina athum diuvin anotai.
19 Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
Chuche jan chun, Pathenin Daniel heng’a themgao thilmun thuguh ki-im chu aphongdoh tai. Hichun Danielin Pathen achoi-an tai.
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
Hichun aman aseitai, “Tonsot tonsotin Pathen min chu Vahchoijin umhen. Ajeh chu chihna le thahatna abon’a ama-a um ahi.
21 And he changes the times and the seasons: he removes kings, and sets up kings: he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
Aman leiset chung’a phatleh nikho chuleh thilsoh ho abon’a aumsah ahi. Aman leng ho ahaisah’a chuleh adangho leng’a apansahji ahi. Aman miching ho chihna apen, chuleh mithem ho hetna jong apen ahi.
22 He reveals the deep and secret things: he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
Aman thutah leh kidang tah’a ki-im thilho aphongdoh jin, chuleh Ama vah’a um ahivangin, muthim le khojing lah’a thilho jong ahesohkeiye.
23 I thank you, and praise you, O you God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have made known to me now what we desired of you: for you have now made known to us the king’s matter.
Vo, kapu kapate Pathen, nangma kathangvahin chuleh kavahchoiye. Ajeh chu nangman chihna le thahat neipe in, naheng’a kathumho nei seipeh tai. Chuleh Lengpa’n angeh jong, keiho kom’a na phongdoh tai” ati.
24 Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus to him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.
Chuin Daniel chu, Babylon gamsung’a michingho thatgam ding’a lengpan apansahpa Arioch henga alutin, hitin aseitai, “Miching mithem ho chu suhmangdan, lengpa angsung’a keima neipuilutin lang, lengpa mang chu ipi kiseina ahi, keiman aledohna seipeh ing’e “ati tai.
25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known to the king the interpretation.
Ariochin jong kinloitahin, Daniel chu lengpa angsung’a apuilut in, lengpa jah’a, “Keiman Judah gammi sohchang ho lah’a mikhat, lengpa mang aledohna naseipehthei ding khat kamu tai” aga ti’e.
26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
Hichun lengpan, Belteshazzar tiajong kihe Daniel jah’a chun, “Hiche asei hi adih ham? Nangman kamang chu ipi hija chuleh ipi kiseina ham, na seido thei ding ham?” ati tai.
27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, show to the king;
Danielin lengpa chu adonbut in, “Miching ho, ai-lhimthem ho, mitpheldoi them ho, vang sang them ho chuleh ahsi lekhathem ho, koi hijongleh, hiche namang ki-im leh kiselguh chu aseidohthei ding mihem, aumpoi.
28 But there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these;
Ahinlah thuguh ki-im ho phongdohji van’a Pathen khatseh aume, ama chun lengpa Nebuchadnezzar heng’a khonung thilsoh dingho amusah ahitai. Tun keiman, jalkhun’a na emut pet’a themgao thilmua namu namang chu kaseipeh ding nahi.
29 As for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind on your bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that reveals secrets makes known to you what shall come to pass.
Lengpa, jalkhun’a na i-mutpet chun, khonung thil hunglhung dingho nagelin chuleh mang naneiyin ahi. Thuguh ki-im ho phongdohji van Pathen chun, khonung thil hungsoh dingho chu, na mang’a namusah ahitai.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that you might know the thoughts of your heart.
Chuleh keima chungchang thu vang chu hiche ahi, midang ho sang’a chingjo leh themjo kahi jeh’a, namang ki-im leh kiselguh chu keiman kahetdoh ahipoi. Amavang, Pathenin nangma tah nalungsung’a um chu nahetsah nom ahi.
31 You, O king, saw, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and the form thereof was terrible.
Vo lengpa, namang chun milim lentah khat, vah pempum jeng chu namasang’a ahung ding’e. Hichu ivet leh kichat tijat umlheh jeng ahi.
32 This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
Milim lu chu sana thengsel’a kisem ahin, a-oplhang leh aban teni chu dangka jeng ahin, a-oi leh amal teni chu sum-eng jeng ahi.
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
Chuleh akeng teni chu thih ahin, akengphang teni chu thih leh leiset kihal ahi.
34 You saw till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image on his feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.
Navetpet chun, mihem khut’a kikheng hilou songtum khat lhang’a kon’in ahung kilih lhan, thih leh leiset kihal akengphang teni chu ahin sep’in, asep chiphel tai.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Chuphat in, milim chu apumin akeh lhatan, thih jong, leiset jong, sum-eng jong, dangka jong chuleh sana jong ahal halin aumgamtan ahi. Chuin hui ahung nungtan ahileh, huiya changsi kithemang bangin, ageina lam kihelouvin amangheltan ahi. Ahinlah milim seplhua song chu akhang khangin, mol leh lhang lentah asohdohin, leiset chung alodim dentai.
36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
Hichu, namang chu ahitai. Tun ipi kiseina ahi chu lengpa heng’a kaseipeh ding ahi.
37 You, O king, are a king of kings: for the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
Vo lengpa, nangma lengho lah’a leng lenpen chu nahi. Van Pathen chun, nangma lenggam napeh’a, thahat leh thuneina chuleh jabolna napeh ahitai.
38 And wherever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven has he given into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all. You are this head of gold.
Aman nangma tah chu, leiset mihem chenna jouse chung’a vaipo’a napansah’a chuleh gamsa jouse leh vacha jouse chung’a thuneina napeh ahitai. Nangmatah hi, sana-a kisem milim luchang chu nahi.
39 And after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
Ahin, nang vaipoh khang kichai nungleh, nang sang’a lhasamjo lenggam khat, nang mun’a hung kitungdoh ding ahi. Chuche lenggam jong chu alhuh nungleh, lenggam khat athumna, sum-eng kitilai chu, hung umdoh kitding, leiset chung pumpia vai apoh ding ahi.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: for as much as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things: and as iron that breaks all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
Chujou tengleh, thih tobang’a lhou leh hat lenggam khat a li channa chu hung kitungdoh ding ahi. Hiche lenggam chun, thih in thildang ajep set’a chuleh avohkeh bang’a, lenggam masa ho jouse ajepset ding chuleh avohkeh ding ahi.
41 And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, for as much as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
Nangin namu akengphang teni leh akho-jung hochu, thih leh leingan meiya kihalsa kihelkhom ahin, hichu lenggam tampi hung umdoh ding, abung bung’a hung kikhendiu ahi.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
Amaho lah’a abang chu thih tobang’a hattah hintin, abangkhat chu leingan bang’a hung kikhendiu ahi.
43 And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not join one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
Hiche thih leh leingan kihalin avetsah chu, lenggam chom chom chu amaho leh amaho ahat’uva adinkhom theinadiu ngaitonan, numei hung kilato uva kicheng hal jeng jung ding’u, chuleh abung bunga hung pangkhomdiu ahi. Ahinlah, thih leh leingan akikabeh detchet theilou bang’a chu, amaho jong dettah’a kikankhom theilouhel dingu ahi.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Chutobang lenggam kichohhel jeng jung ho phatlai tahle chun, Van Pathenin, kisumang talou ding leh koima khutnoi ja um talou ding, lenggam khat ahin tundoh ding ahi. Hiche lenggam chun lenggam dang jouse abon’a, anung ama umlouva avohchip soh hel ding chuleh hiche lenggam chu atonsot’a ding jing ding ahi tai.
45 For as much as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Hichu, nangman namu lhangvum’a hungkon songtum, mi hem khut’a kisui hilou, thih jong sepgoi, sum-eng jong sepgoi, dangka jong sepgoi, leingan jong sepgoi chuleh sana jong sepgoija thethang soh hel songtum chu kiseina ahi. Hichehi, loupi Pathen chun, khonung thil hungsoh dingho, lengpa henga avetsah ahi tai. Namang chu dihtah ahin, chuleh aledohna jong thonlouva guilhung ding ahi.
46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors to him.
Chutah chun, Nebuchadnezzar lengpan amai tol’ah asulut in, Daniel chu chibai abohtai. Chuleh aman amite jah’a, Daniel angsung’a kilhaina thilto abol diu chuleh gim namtwi alhutdiuvin thu apetai.
47 The king answered to Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing you could reveal this secret.
Hichun lengpan Daniel jah’a asei tai, “Tahbeh mongin, nang Pathen hi pathen jouse chung’a Pathen ahin, lengho jouse Pakai jong ahi. Chuleh thil ki-imho phongdohpa Pathen jong ahi, ajeh chu nangman thil ki-imho leh akiselguh jouse naphong doh thei jenge” ati.
48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
Chuin Daniel chu lengpan jabolna sangtah apen chuleh thilpeh loupitah tampi jong apen ahi. Chuleh aman Daniel chu panmun sangtah, Babylon gamkai pumpia vaihom in apansah in, agamsung’a miching jouse chung’a pipui pen in apansah tai.
49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
Chuin Daniel in angeh dungjui jin, lengpan Shadrach, Meshach chuleh Abednego chu Babylon gamkai ho’a imalam jousea mopo dingin apansah tai. Danniel vang chu, leng inpia chun vaihomin apangden tai
