Daniel 2
1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went 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 enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in 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 The king said to them, "I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to understand 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 the Aramaic language, "O king, live forever: 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 the Chaldeans, "The thing is gone from me: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a rubbish heap.
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 its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor: therefore show me the dream and its interpretation."
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 the second time and said, "Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation."
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, "I know of a certainty that you would gain 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 do not make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until such time that things might change. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can show me its interpretation."
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 who can show the king's matter, because no king, lord, or ruler, has asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, 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 It is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who 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 So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be killed; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be killed.
Lengpa thupeh chu aki thejal tan, Daniel le aloiho tha dingin ahol tauvin ahi.
14 Then Daniel returned an answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, who was gone forth to kill 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 Arioch the king's captain, "Why is the decree so urgent 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 Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and 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 seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions 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 vision of the night. 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, "Blessed be the name of God forever 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 He changes the times and the seasons; he removes kings, and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have 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, God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and has now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have 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 appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said this to him: "Do not destroy 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 this to him, "I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, who 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 Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?"
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 before the king, and said, "The secret which the king has demanded is such that no wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, can 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 who reveals secrets, and he has made known to 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 happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what shall happen.
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 all the living, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may 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 look, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was extraordinary, stood before you; and its appearance was awesome.
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 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
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 its legs of iron, its 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 until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in 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 bronze, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck 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 its interpretation before the king.
Hichu, namang chu ahitai. Tun ipi kiseina ahi chu lengpa heng’a kaseipeh ding ahi.
37 You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the 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 human beings dwell, the animals of the field and the birds of the sky has he given into your hand, and has made you to rule over them all: you are the 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 After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; and another third kingdom of bronze, 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 The fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, shall it break in pieces and crush.
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 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, because 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 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 the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mix with one another but they shall not hold together, even as iron does not mix 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 In the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all those kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
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 Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king what shall happen hereafter: and the dream is certain, and its interpretation 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 king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, and worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should present an offering and incense 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 Daniel and said, "Surely your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing you have been able to 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 great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor 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 Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was 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
