Daniel 2
1 And, in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, —and his spirit, was troubled, and, his sleep, had gone from him.
Nebuchadnezzar chu, alengchan kal kumni lhin chun, jankhat mang nommo tah aneyin, imuthei louvin alunggimpi lheh jengin ahi.
2 So the king gave word to call for the sacred scribes and for the magicians, and for the users of incantations, and for the Chaldeans, that they might tell the king his dreams, —they came in therefore, 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, A dream, have I dreamed, —and my spirit is 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 spake the Chaldeans to the king, in Aramaic, —O king, to the ages, live! Tell the dream to thy servants, and, the interpretation, we will declare.
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 word from me, is unalterable: If ye shall not make known to me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and, your houses, into a dunghill, shall be turned;
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, the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye will declare, gifts and a present and great dignity, shall ye receive from before me, —therefore, the dream and the interpretation thereof, declare ye unto me.
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, the dream, to his servants, and, the interpretation thereof, we will declare.
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, Of a certainty, I know, that, time, ye, would gain, —merely because ye see that, unalterable, from me, is the word:
Lengpa’n amaho chu adonbut in, Ipi nabol’u ahi, ka henai. Nanghon, ka seidoh ka khellou na het jeh’uva
9 That, if, the dream, ye shall not make known to me, one and the same, is the decree, and, a lying and wicked word, have ye agreed to speak before me, that meanwhile the time may be changed, —therefore, the dream, tell ye me, so shall I know that, the interpretation thereof, ye can declare for me.
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 upon the earth, who can declare, the matter of the king, —although indeed, there is no king, chief ruler who, a thing like this, hath asked of any sacred scribe or magician 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, the thing which the king hath asked, is difficult, and, none other, is there, who can declare it before the king, —saving 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 provoked and exceedingly indignant, —and gave word 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 companions that they might be slain.
Lengpa thupeh chu aki thejal tan, Daniel le aloiho tha dingin ahol tauvin ahi.
14 Immediately, Daniel, made answer with prudence and discretion, to Arioch, chief of the executioners of the king, —who had come 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 began to speak and said to Arioch the king’s captain, —For what cause, is the decree raging forth from before the king? Then did Arioch make the matter known unto 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 So Daniel entered in, and desired of the king, —that, an appointed time, he would give him, and then, the interpretation, he would declare unto the king.
Apettah chun, Daniel jong lengpa heng’a avahlut jengin, lengpa kom’a amang ledohna ding phat chomkhat athumbe tan ahi.
17 Then Daniel, to his own house, departed, —and, to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, made the matter known;
Chuin Daniel chu inlam’a akilen, aloiho Hananiah, Mishael chuleh Azariah kom’a chun, thilsoh umdan chu aseipeh tai.
18 that, tender compassion, they might seek from before the God of the heavens, concerning this secret, —that Daniel and his companions, might not be destroyed, 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, unto Daniel—in a vision of the night, the secret was revealed, —whereupon, Daniel, blessed the God of the heavens:
Chuche jan chun, Pathenin Daniel heng’a themgao thilmun thuguh ki-im chu aphongdoh tai. Hichun Danielin Pathen achoi-an tai.
20 Daniel responded, and said, Let the name of God be blessed from age to age, —in that wisdom and might, to him belong;
Hichun aman aseitai, “Tonsot tonsotin Pathen min chu Vahchoijin umhen. Ajeh chu chihna le thahatna abon’a ama-a um ahi.
21 And, he, changeth times and seasons, removeth kings, and setteth up kings, —giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them who are skilled in 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, revealeth the deep things, and the hidden, —knoweth what is in the darkness, and, light, with him, doth dwell.
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 Unto the, O God of my fathers, do I render thanks and praise, in that, wisdom and might, thou hast given unto me, —yea, already, hast thou made known to me that which we desired of thee, for, the matter of the king, hast thou made known unto us.
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 entered in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, —he went in, and, thus, he said unto him, The wise men of Babylon, do not thou destroy, bring me in before the king, and, the interpretation—unto the king, will I declare.
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 Thereupon, Arioch—with haste, brought in Daniel before the king, —and, thus, he said to him—I have found a man of the sons of the exile of Judah, who, the interpretation—unto the king, will make known.
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 unto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, —Art thou able to make known unto 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 before the king, and said, —The secret which the king hath asked, the wise men, the magicians, the sacred scribes, the astrologers, are not able to declare unto 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 the heavens, who revealeth secrets, and hath made known to King Nebuchadnezzar, what shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days: Thy dream and the visions of thy head upon thy 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 thee, O king, thy thoughts upon thy bed, arose regarding what should come to pass hereafter; and, he that revealeth secrets, made known to thee 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—not for any wisdom that is in me, more than any of the living, is, this secret, revealed to me, —therefore, it is in order that, the interpretation—unto the king, they should make known, and that, the thoughts of thy heart, thou shouldst get to know.
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 As for thee, O king, thou wast looking, when lo! a great image, this image, being mighty, and the brightness thereof surpassing, was standing before thee, —and, the appearance 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 As for this image, its head, was of fine gold, its breast and its arms, were 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, —and, its feet, part of them, of iron, and, part of them, of clay.
Chuleh akeng teni chu thih ahin, akengphang teni chu thih leh leiset kihal ahi.
34 Thou didst look, until that a stone tare itself away, not by the aid of hands, and smote the image upon its feet, which were of iron and clay, —and they were broken 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 were broken in pieces at once, the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and became like chaff out of the summer threshing-floors, and the wind, carried them away, and, no place, was found for them, —but, the stone that smote the image, became a mighty rock, and filled all the land.
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, the interpretation thereof, we will tell before the king.
Hichu, namang chu ahitai. Tun ipi kiseina ahi chu lengpa heng’a kaseipeh ding ahi.
37 Thou, O king, art the king of kings, —for, the God of the heavens, hath given unto thee, the kingship, the might, the power and the dignity;
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, wheresoever the sons of men do dwell, the wild beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou, art 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 And, after thee, shall arise another kingdom, inferior to thee, —and another—a third kingdom, of bronze, which shall bear rule throughout 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 hard as iron, —in like manner as iron breaketh in pieces and crusheth all things, —even as iron which bringeth to ruins all these, shall it break in pieces and bring to ruins.
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 thou sawest the feet and the toes, part of them of potter’s clay, and part of them of iron, the kingdom, shall be, divided, and, of the hardness of the iron, shall there be in it, —forasmuch as thou sawest, the iron, combined with the 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, the toes of the feet, part of them, iron, and, part, of clay, —some part of the kingdom, shall be strong, but, a part thereof, shall be brittle;
Amaho lah’a abang chu thih tobang’a hattah hintin, abangkhat chu leingan bang’a hung kikhendiu ahi.
43 and, whereas thou sawest, the iron, combined with the miry clay, they shall be combined with the seed of men, but shall not cleave firmly one to another, —lo! as iron is not to be combined 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 those kings, shall the God of the heavens, set up, a kingdom which, to the ages, shall not be destroyed, and, the kingdom, to another people, shall not be left, —it shall break in pieces and make an end of all these kingdoms, but, itself, shall stand to the ages.
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 Forasmuch as thou sawest that, out of the rock, a stone tare itself away, but not with hands, and brake in pieces the clay, the iron, the bronze, the silver and the gold, the mighty God, hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. Exact then is the dream, and trusty its interpretation.
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 upon his face, and, unto Daniel, paid adoration; and, a present and sweet odours, gave he word to pour out unto 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—Of a truth, your God, is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a Revealer of secrets, —seeing thou wast 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, exalted, Daniel, and, many large presents, gave he unto him, and set him to be ruler over all the province of Babylon, —and chief of the nobles, 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 And, Daniel, desired of the king, and he appointed—over the business of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —but, Daniel himself, 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
