Daniel 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king to all people, nations, and languages that dwell upon the whole earth. Peace be multiplied to you!
Nebuchadnezzar lengpan, leiset chunga cheng chitin leh namtin chuleh pao tintang ho heng’a, hiche thuhi athot tai, Na chung’uva chamna leh kipana leng hen.
2 I have thought it good to show the signs and wonders which the Most High God hath wrought toward me.
Hatchungnung Pathen in kaheng’a aphondoh thil kidang ho chuleh melchihna ho chengse hi, nangho hetdinga phondohson ding kadei ahi.
3 How great are his signs, and how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endureth from generation to generation.
Aman melchihna abolho itobanga loupi hitam, Aman thil kidang abolho itobanga thahat hitam! Ama lenggam chu tonsot leng gam ahin, Ama lengvaipoh jong akhang khanga umjing ding ahi tai.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
Nebuchadnezzar, keima hi, nomsa tah leh ima jouse ninglhing sel’in, ka leng inpia ka cheng’e.
5 There I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
Chuin jankhat chu mang ka neiyin, hichun eisu kicha lhehin ahi. Keima jalkhun’a kalumin, gaovin themgao thilmu kaneiye. Hiche kamang chun eisu lunggim lheh jeng in ahi.
6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me; that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
Chuin keiman Babylon gamsung pumpia miching mithem ho abonchauvin ka koukhom in, kamang chu ka seipeh tai. Ahivang in, amahon kamang chu ipi tina ham, eiseipeh thei deh pouve.
7 Then came in the scribes, the magicians, the Chaldaeans, and the astrologers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.
8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and I told him the dream.
Achainan, Daniel kaheng’a ahung’in, ken jong ama heng’a kamang chu kasei tai. Daniel chu, keima Pathen min’a kon’a Belteshazzar kasah ahin, chuleh Pathen thengho lhagao chu ama chunga cheng ahi.
9 O Belteshazzar, chief of the scribes, since I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret is too hard for thee, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
Keiman ama jah’a, Vo Belteshazzar mitphel doithem ho jouse pipu pa nahin, nachung’a pathen thengho lhagao cheng’a ahi kahei, chuleh nang din thil ki-imho hetdoh theilou leh het hahsa aumpoi. Tun kamang chu hiche ahi ipi tina ham neisei peh in,
10 The visions of my head were these. I saw, and behold a tree in the midst, whose height was very great.
Keima ka jalkhun’a ka luppet’a, themgao thilmua kamu kamang chu hiti ahi. Keiman leiset lailung tah’a thingphung lentah khat kamun.
11 The tree was large and strong, and its height reached to heaven, and it might be seen to the end of the whole earth.
Thingphung chun akhang khang in, van aphan asang lheh jeng in, leiset pumpia mutheiyin aum in, lentah leh thahat tahin akehdet tai.
12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
Thingphung chu ana ho ahingin ahoijin, aga jong abulhingset in, miho jouse nehthei ding aum e. Alim noija chun gamlah gamsa ho akol’un, abah lah’a chun vachate achenguve. Hiche thingphung’a kon chun, ahing thei jouse akivah’uve.
13 I saw, in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher, even a holy one, came down from heaven;
Chuin jalkhun’a kalup’a mang ka nei pet chun, themgao thilmun, van’a kon’a Pathen vantil khat ahung kumlhah kamui.
14 he cried aloud, and spake thus: Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches; shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit; let the beasts go away from under it, and the birds from its branches.
Vantil chun lhang asam in, “Thingphung chu phuhlhu uvin chuleh abah ho tanlha uvin. Ana ho malngim unlang chuleh aga ho thethang soh un. Alim noija kon in gamsa holeh abah ho lah’a kon in vachate ho delmang soh un.
15 Yet leave the stump of its roots in the earth, in bands of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and he shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and his portion shall be with the beasts in the grass of the field.
Amavang, thingbul leh ajung chu leiset’a umden sah’un, thihkhao leh sum-eng in kanchah’unlang daitwiyin hin chapnou hen, chuleh leiset’a hamhing lah’a gamsa hotoh hingkhom tahen.
16 His heart shall be changed, and be no more that of a man, and a beast's heart shall be given him, and seven times shall pass over him.
Chuleh kum sagi sung chu, amapan mihem lungthim neitalouvin, gamsa lungthim nei tahen.
17 By a decision of the watchers is the decree, and by a command of the holy ones is the sentence; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdoms of men, and giveth them to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over them the lowest of men.
Hiche hi Atheng ho chun thu apeh’a, lhangsam hon thugahna chu aphondoh ahi. Ajeh chu chungnung pen Pathen vannoi lenggam jouse chung’a vaihom ahi. Aman pha asah sah alhen’a, mi noinung pen ho jong apehji ahi, ti mihing jousen hecheh hen.
18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw, and do thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
Vo Belteshazzar, hiche hi, keima leng Nebuchadnezzar in mang kanei chu ahi. Tun kamang hi ipi kiseina ham, nei seipeh in, ajeh chu ka lenggam sung’a miching mithem ho jousen aphondoh theilouvu ahitai. Amavang, nangin na phondoh thei ahi, ajeh chu Pathen theng lhagao chu na chung’a acheng’e, ati.
19 Then Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar, was amazed for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream or the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the signification of it to thine enemies!
Hiche ajah phat chun, Belteshazzar jong kisah, Daniel chu chomkhat alung dong den’in, chuleh mang kiledohna chu agelleh alung gimtan ahi. Chuin lengpan ajah’a, Belteshazzar, kamang chu lungdonpi hih in, chuleh aledohna jong lunggimpi dan, ati. Belteshazzar in adonbut in, Lengpa, namang hi na kidoupi ho mang hihen lang, chuleh aledohna jong hi na chung’a chu louvin na melmate chung’a chu ding hijo leh kati.
20 The tree which thou sawest, which was large and strong, whose height reached to heaven, and which might be seen by all the earth,
Namang’a namu thingphung chu akhang khang in, asang lheh jeng in, chuleh dettah in akehdoh tan, van aphah geijin akhang khang in, vannoi mijouse mutheiyin akhang doh’e.
21 whose leaves were fair, and whose fruit abundant, and in which was food for all, under which all the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whoso branches the birds of heaven had their lodging, —
Ana jong a-eng hoiselin chuleh aphung’a chun mitin nehkham ninglhingset in aga dohin, alimnoija chun gamsate acheng’un chuleh abah ho lah’a chun vachate acheng dimset’uve.
22 it is thou, O king, who art become great and strong; for thy greatness is immense, and reacheth to heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
Vo! lengpa, hiche thingphung chu nangma nahi. Nangma dettah leh loupitah in nahung khang doh tan, nalal loupina chu van geijin akhangdoh in, naleng vaihomna jong leiset kolmang geijin nalo soh tai.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher, even a holy one, coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down and destroy it, yet leave the stump of its roots in the earth, in bands of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and he shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and his portion shall be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
Chuin vantil theng khat, van’a kon’a hung kumlha namun, hitin aseiye, “Thingphung chu phuhlhu in chuleh sumang in. Amavang, tol’a umden abul leh ajungho chu khen in, hichu thihkhao leh sum-eng khaovin kanchah in dalhan, hamdong lah’a chun. Amachu van’a kon’a hunglha daitwiyin chapkotji hen, chuleh kum sagi sungin gamsa hotoh gamlah’a hingkhom’u hen.”
24 this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord, the king;
Hiche hi namang aledohna chu ahi. Chungnungpen Pathen in nahenga aphondoh chu, Vo! Lengpa, nachung’a hung lhung tei ding ahi.
25 they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall let thee eat grass as oxen, and be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdoms of men, and giveth them to whomsoever he will.
Nangma mihem ho lah’a kon’a na kino mang ding, gamlah’a gamsa hotoh nahin khomding. Nangman bong ho bang’a hamhing naneh’a, chuleh van’a kon’a hunglha daitwi nadou ding. Hitia chu kum sagi sung naum ding, Chungnungpen Pathenin lenggam jouse chung’a vai ahom’in, mi koi hileh aman adei lhen chu lenggam apehji ahi ti na hetdoh kah a hitia chu naumding ahi.
26 And whereas it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, thy kingdom shall be sure to thee after thou shalt have acknowledged that Heaven ruleth.
Amavang, thingbul leh ajungho chu khenden in dalhan kitina chu, nangman van Pathen in lenggam jousea vai ahom ahi, ti nahetdoh nikho leh, nalenggam nanung chan kit ding ahi.
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thy iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening out of thy tranquility.
Vo! Lengpa Nebuchadnezzar, ka thumop hi kisanlutin. Adih jeng chu bol’in chuleh chonset chu pailhan. Vaichate khoton lang na chonsetna hin dalhan. Chutileh nangma cham leh lungmong’a na khantou jing ding ahi.
28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.
Ahivang in Nebuchadnezzar lengpa chung’a thil hijatpi hi alhung soh tan ahi.
29 At the end of twelve months, he was walking in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon;
Lhasom leh lhani nung in, Nebuchadnezzar lengpa chu, khatvei aleng inpi chung’a ahung vahlen ahi.
30 and the king spake and said, Is not this the great Babylon which I have built for the seat of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?
Aman khopi sung chu aven aseitai, “Vetan, Babylon khopi loupi tah hi! Keima chenna leng inpi ding leh kalal loupina phondohna-a, keiman ka thahat’a hiche khopi hoitah hi ka sahdoh ahi,’’ ati.
31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven: “To thee it is said, O Nebuchadnezzar! the kingdom is departed from thee.
Lengpan kiletsahna thusei aseichai masangin, van’a kon’in aw ahung ging in, Vo! Lengpa Nebuchadnezzar, hiche thuhi nang’a ding kisei ahi. Na lenggam leh na vaihomna naki lahpeh ahi tai.
32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; they shall make thee eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdoms of men, and giveth them to whomsoever he will.”
Nang jong mihem lah’a kon’a na kidelmang ding, gamlah’a gamsa hotoh nahin khom ding chuleh bong banga hamhing naneh ding ahi. Leiset a lenggam jouse hi Chungnungpen Pathen vaihomna thunoija um ahin, aman adei dei chu lenggam apehji ahi ti nahetdoh kahsea, kum sagi sung’a hiche hi nadou ding ahi,’’ ati.
33 The same hour was the word fulfilled against Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
Hitia thu aseijou jou chun, Pathen thutanna chu Nebuchadnezzar chung’a aguilhung tai. Ama jong mihem lah’a kon’in delmang in aum tai. Aman bong bang in hamhing anen chuleh van’a kon hunglha daitwi chu adouvin, alujang sam jong Muvanlai mul bang in asao doh in chuleh atin jong mutin bangin asaodoh in, gamsa bang in hinkho amang tai.
34 But at the end of the days, I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored Him that liveth forever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and whose kingdom endureth from generation to generation.
Hiche ka thoh nikho ho chu ahung kichai tan, keima Nebuchadnezzar in, vanlam kaven ahileh ka lung ahung limdoh kittai. Hichun keiman Chungnungpen Pathen atonsot’a hing jing chu ka vahchoiyin chuleh jatahin kahou tai. Ajeh chu, aleng vaihomna hi kemtih neilou ahin, chuleh alenggam jong tonsot’a umjing ahi.
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say to him, What doest thou?
Leiset chung’a mihem jouse hi, ama loupi leh thahat toh tepiding in, ima hilou ahi bouve. Aman van’a vantil ho lah’a chuleh leiset’a mihem ho lah’a, athu tah’a adei dei abolji ahin, koiman nabol hi ipi hija, tia akhut tuhtang ding aum poi.
36 At the same time my reason returned to me, and also the glory of my kingdom, my honor, and my splendor returned to me; and my counsellors and my lords sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and I received yet greater majesty.
Chu in kalung ahung limdohkit phat chun, masang’a ka lenggam leh ka loupina ho jong chu kahin geldoh kittai. Keima thumop’a pangho leh sepai vaihom hon eihung holdoh uvin, avelin ka-lenggam chu kalo kit in, lengvai pon ei-tungdohkit un, masang’a sang chun loupi jochehin ka umtai.
37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; all whose works are truth and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Tunvang, keima Nebuchadnezzar kitipan, van lengpa Pathen chu ka vahchoiyin, ka choi-an in chuleh ama chu jaboltah in kahou tai. Ajeh chu, ama natoh thilbol hohi abon’a adih leh thutah jeng ahi. Mi koi hileh, akiletsah tapou chu asuhnem theiji ahi.
