Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged 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 gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure house 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 The king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the people of Israel, even of the royal family and of the nobles;
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 youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and endowed with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.
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 appointed for them a daily portion of the king's royal food, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at its end they should stand before the king.
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 Now among these were, of the people of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Judah phung leh nam’a kon’a kilheng doh golhang khangdong mili ho chu Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael chuleh Azariah ahiuve.
7 The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of 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 But Daniel determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's royal food, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
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 Now God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
Hichun, Pathenin, nukiso ho pipu pa lungsung’a chun, Daniel hepina leh gelkhohna ahinpe tan ahi.
10 The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? So would you endanger my head with the king."
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 Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over 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 "Test your servants for ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.
Lungset in, nisom sung nei patepun, kaneh diu anche leh ka don diu twi keoseh bou neipeuvin.
13 Then let our faces be looked on before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king's royal food; and as you see, deal with your servants."
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 So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them ten days.
Hichun, Daniel thusei chu, amaho vetup’a pangpan anop pehin, nisom sung apatepin avetai.
15 At the end of ten days their faces appeared better and fatter than all the youths who ate of the king's royal 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 So the steward took away their royal food, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them vegetables.
Hichun achinguva pangpa chun, amaho ding’a kigong anneh twitah leh ju hochu aladohin, aneh diuvin anche bou apetai.
17 Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all 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 At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before 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 among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore 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 In every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.
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 continued even to the first year of king Koresh.
Daniel chu, Cyrus lengpa lengchan kal kumkhat lhingei jin, leng inpi lhacha vaihom in apang in ahi.
