Daniel 5
1 King Belshazzar prepared a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and before these thousand did he drink wine.
Belshazzar manghai loh a boei thawngat hamla boeilen buhkoknah a saii tih thawngkhat mikhmuh ah misurtui a ok.
2 Belshazzar ordered, through the counsel of the wine, to bring in the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken away out of the temple which was in Jerusalem: that the king, and his lords, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therefrom.
Belshazzar loh, “Misurtui yukung ah a napa Nebukhadnezzar loh Jerusalem bawkim lamkah a loh sui neh cak hnopai te hang khuen lamtah te nen manghai neh a boei rhoek, a yuu rhoek neh a yula rhoek long khaw o saeh,” a ti.
3 Then they brought in the golden vessels that were taken away out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his lords, his wives, and his concubines, drank from them.
Te dongah Jerusalem, Pathen im kah bawkim lamloh a loh sui hnopai te a khuen uh tih te nen te manghai neh a boei rhoek long khaw, a yuu rhoek neh a yula rhoek long khaw a ok uh.
4 They drank wine, and praised their gods of gold, and of silver, of copper, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Misurtui a ok uh vaengah sui pathen neh cak, rhohum, thi, thing, lungto te a koeh uh.
5 At that same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote opposite to the chandelier upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Amah tekah khonoek vaengah hlang kut dongkah kutdawn rhoek a caeh pah. Te phoeiah manghai hmaitung hmatoeng, manghai bawkim thoh dongkah taptlang dongah ca a daek pah. A daek vaengah ah khaw kut dongkah kutbom bueng ni manghai loh a hmuh.
6 Then was the king's color changed, and his thoughts troubled him: so that the bands of his loins were loosed, and his knees knocked one against the other.
Te dongah manghai te a aa yat tih a poeknah loh amah a cahawh coeng. A hlit kah rhuhcong khaw phit tih a khuklu te heben hebang la a khuek.
7 the king called with might to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king commenced, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whatsoever man will read this writing, and tell me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule as the third in the kingdom.
Manghai loh rhaitonghma rhoek khaw, Khalden rhoek khaw, aisi aka suep rhoek te khue hamla thadueng neh pang. Te phoeiah manghai te cal tih Babylon hlang cueih rhoek te, “Cadaek he a tae tih a thuingaihnah kai hamla aka thui hlang boeih te tah daidi hni a bai vetih a rhawn ah sui a oi vetih ram a pathum nah dongah boei ni,” a ti nah.
8 Then came in all the wise men of the king; but they were not able to read the writing, nor to make its interpretation known to the king.
Manghai kah hlang cueih boeih te cet tah cet uh dae cadaek te tae tih manghai taengah a thuingaihnah, thuicaih ham noeng uh pawh.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly terrified, and his color was changed on him, and his lords were confounded.
Te dongah manghai Belshazzar muep let tih a aa yat tih amah neh a boei rhoek khaw a lukil uh.
10 [Now] the queen in consequence of the words of the king and of his lords came into the banquet-house; the queen commenced and said, O king, live for ever; let thy thoughts not trouble thee, nor let thy color be changed:
Manghai neh a boei rhoek kah ol kong ah manghainu khaw buhkoknah im la cet. Manghainu long khaw a voek tih, “Manghai tah kumhal duela hing saeh, na poeknah loh nang n'let sak boel saeh lamtah na aa yat boel saeh.
11 There is a man in thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father enlightenment and intelligence and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him: and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father appointed him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers: —yes, thy father, O king.—
Na ram ah he a khuiah Pathen kah mueihla cim aka khueh hlang om ta. Na pa tue vaengah khaw vangnah, lungmingnah neh cueihnah he a khuiah Pathen kah cueihnah bangla tueng ta. Na pa manghai Nebukhadnezzar loh anih te na pa manghai kah hmayuep, rhaitonghma, Khalden neh aisi aka suep kah boei la a khueh ta.
12 Forasmuch as a superior spirit, and knowledge, and intelligence, interpreting of dreams, and solving of riddles, and of untying knotty [doubts], were found in him, in Daniel, to whom the king assigned the name of Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will tell the interpretation.
Te kong dongah tah a mueihla lang tih mingnah, lungmingnah neh mang a thuicaih. Olkael aka phoe tih rhuhcong aka hlam khaw amah la Daniel dongah tueng coeng. Anih te manghai loh a ming Belteshazzar la a khueh tih Daniel la aka coeng he khue lamtah a thuingaihnah a thui bitni,” a ti nah.
13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king: the king commenced and said unto Daniel, Art thou Daniel, who art of the children of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
Te dongah Daniel te manghai taengla a khuen tih manghai loh a voek. Te vaengah Daniel te, “Judah hlangsol ca lamkah Daniel he nang namah dae a? A pa manghai loh Judah lamkah a khuen te.
14 And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that enlightenment and intelligence and superior wisdom are found in thee.
Nang kawng he na khuiah Pathen mueihla om tih vangnah, lungmingnah, cueihnah loh na khuiah bahoeng tueng coeng tila ka yaak coeng.
15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, had been brought before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me its interpretation; but they were not able to tell the interpretation of the matter.
Ka taengah cadaek he tae uh saeh lamtah a thuingaihnah te kai hamla thuicaih saeh tila hlang cueih la rhaitonghma khaw hang khuen uh coeng dae ol kah thuingaihnah te thui hamla a noeng uh moenih.
16 But I have truly heard concerning thee, that thou art able to give interpretations, and untie knotty [doubts]: now if thou art able to read the writing, and make known to me its interpretation, thou shalt be clothed with purple, with a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt rule as the third in the kingdom.
Nang namah tah thuingaihnah thuicaih ham neh rhuhcong pataeng hlam ham na noeng rhoe na noeng tila ka yaak coeng. Cadaek te tae ham neh a thuingaihnah te kai taengah thuicaih ham na noeng la na noeng atah daidi hni na bai vetih a oi pataeng sui oi ni na rhawn ah na oi eh. Te phoeiah ram khuiah a pathum nah la na boei ni,” a ti nah.
17 Then answered Daniel and said before the king, Let thy gifts remain in thy possession, and bestow thy bounty on another: nevertheless will I read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Te dongah Daniel loh manghai te a doo tih, “Na kutdoe he namah ham om saeh lamtah na thapang te a tloe taengah pae mai. Tedae cadaek te manghai hamla kan tae vetih a thuingaihnah kan thuicaih bitni.
18 O thou king! the most high God gave kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father;
Manghai nang, namah he a sangkoek kah sangkoek Pathen loh ram neh lennah khaw, thangpomnah neh hinyahnah khaw na pa Nebukhadnezzar taengah a paek.
19 And because of the greatness that he had given unto him, all people, nations, and languages trembled and shook before him: whom he pleased he slew; and whom he pleased he kept alive; and whom he pleased he lifted up; and whom he pleased he brought low.
Anih te lennah a paek dongah namtu pilnam cungkuem neh olcom olcae aka om rhoek loh thuen la thuen uh tih a taengah birhih uh. A ngaih a om te om bangla a ngawn tih a ngaih a om te a om bangla a hing sak. A ngaih a om te a om bangla a pacuet tih a ngaih a om te a om bangla a kunyun sak.
20 But, when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened to deal presumptuously, he was cast down from the throne of his kingdom, and his dignity did they take from him;
Tedae a thinko te a pacuet tih altha hamla a mueihla a phuel dongah a ram kah ngolkhoel lamloh rhum tih a thangpomnah te anih lamloh a khoe pauh.
21 And from the sons of men was he driven forth, and his heart became equal with [that of] the beasts, and with the wild asses was his dwelling; they suffered him to eat herbs like oxen, and with the dew of heaven was his body made wet: till he acknowledged that the most high God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he pleaseth.
Te phoeiah hlang ca rhoek taeng lamloh a vai tih a thinko te rhamsa la a khueh pah. A khosaknah khaw marhang lueng neh om tih vaito bangla rham a cah uh. Hlang kah ram soah a sangkoek kah a sangkoek Pathen loh a hung tih a ngaih taengah te te a pai sak tila a ming hil a pum te vaan kah buem neh a saep sak.
22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this;
He kong he boeih na ming lalah a capa Belshazzar nang khaw na thinko na kunyun sak moenih.
23 But against the Lord of heaven hast thou lifted thyself up; and the vessels of his house have they brought before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them; and the gods of silver, and gold, of copper, iron, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know, hast thou praised; and the God in whose hand thy soul is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
Vaan kah Boeipa taengah lat a pacuet uh tih a im kah hnopai te namah taengla hang khuen uh. Namah neh na boei rhoek long khaw, na boei rhoek neh na yuu rhoek long khaw, na yula rhoek long khaw te nen te misurtui a ok uh. Te phoeiah cak, sui, rhohum, thi, thing neh lungto pathen, aka hmu thai pawh, aka ya thai pawh, aka ming thai pawt te na koeh uh. Pathen amah kut ah na maal om tih na longpuei boeih he amah taengah om dae na hinyah moenih.
24 Thereupon was sent from before him the part of the hand, and this writing was noted down.
Te dongah ni amah taeng lamloh kut dongkah kutbom te a tueih pah tih cadaek he a daek pah.
25 And this is the writing that was noted down, M'ne, M'ne, T'kel, Upharsin.
Te cadaek te, “Mene, Mene, Tekel neh Uparsin,” la a daek.
26 This the interpretation of the matter: M'ne, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and made an end of it.
Mene ollung kah a thuingaihnah he tah Pathen loh na ram he a khueh dae a khah coeng.
27 T'kel, Thou least been weighed in the balances, and been found wanting.
Tekel tah coi dongah n'khiing dae a vawt m'hmuh.
28 P'ress; Thy kingdom hath been divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians.
Peres, na ram rhek tih Media neh Persia taengah a paek,” a ti nah.
29 Then gave Belshazzar the order, and they clothed Daniel with purple, with a chain of gold about his neck, and they made a proclamation concerning him, that he should rule as the third in the kingdom.
Te dongah Belshazzar loh a thui bangla Daniel te daidi a bai sakuh. A oi khaw sui oi te a rhawn ah a oi sak. Anih te a ram ah a pathum nah aka hung la om ham a hoe uh.
30 In that very night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
Amah te khoyin ah Belshazzar manghai te Khalden loh a ngawn.
31 And Darius the Median obtained the kingdom, when he was sixty and two years old.
Te dongah Median kah Media Darius he kum sawmrhuk kum nit a lo ca vaengah ram a dang.
