Daniel 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all the peoples, the races and the tongues who are dwelling in all the earth, Let, your prosperity, abound!
Kai Nebukhadnezar ni lawk na patawn awh. Talaivan kho tangkuem kaawm e miphun cawngca hoi lawk cawngca kapan e taminaw nangmouh koe lungmawngnae pungdaw seh.
2 The signs, and the wonders, which the most high God, hath wrought with me, it is pleasing before me to declare.
Lathueng poung lah kaawm e Cathut ni kai dawk a sak e kângairu hno hoi mitnoutnae naw hah kamnue sak hanelah ka ngai.
3 His signs, how great! and, his wonders, how mighty! His kingdom, is an age-abiding kingdom, and, his dominion, lasteth from generation to generation.
Mitnout teh a len tangngak. Athaonae teh kângairu han lah ao tangngak. A uknaeram teh catounawtoun totouh kangning e lah ao.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at peace in mine own house, and was prosperous in my palace.
Kai Nebukhadnezar teh kama e siangpahrang im dawk tawnta bawirengnae hoi ka o navah,
5 A dream, I saw, and it made me afraid, —and, fancies upon my bed, and visions of my head, terrified me.
takikathopounge mang ka mang e hah ikhun dawk ka yannae koehoi ka pouk navah, ka taki toungloung.
6 Therefore made I a decree, to bring in before me, all the wise men of Babylon, —who, the interpretation of the dream, should make known to me.
Hatdawkvah ka mang leh hanelah Babilon ram e a lungkaang e pueng ka hmalah koung thokhai awh titeh ka pathang.
7 Then came in the sacred scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers, —and, the dream, told I before them, but, the interpretation, could they not make known to me.
Hatnavah, mitpaleikathoumnaw, kutkhetkathoumnaw, Babilon kacangkhaikungnaw, hoi Khaldeannaw pueng a tho awh teh, ka mang hah ka dei pouh. Hatei, ahnimanaw ni ka mang hah let thai awh hoeh.
8 Howbeit, at last, came before me—Daniel, whose, name, was Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and, the dream—before him, I told [saying]:
A hnukkhu vah, kaie cathut min ka phawt e Belteshazzar telah phung teh, Cathut e kathoung muitha hoi kakawi e Daniel ni kai koe a tho torei teh,
9 O Belteshazzar, chief of the sacred scribes, because I know that, the spirit of the holy gods, is in thee, —and no secret giveth thee trouble, [therefore], the visions of my dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof, do thou tell.
mitpaleikathoumnaw kahrawikung Belteshazzar nang dawk kathounge Cathut Muitha ao tie thoseh, hrolawk kaawm e pueng na pâpho thai e hai thoseh ka panue. Hatdawkvah, mang ka mang e hah na pâpho pouh haw.
10 The visions then of my head upon my bed [were these], —I was looking, when lo! a tree in the midst of the land, and, the height thereof, was great.
Ka ikhun dawk ka yan nah ka hmu e vision teh, talai lungui vah, karasangpoung e thingkung buet touh a kâung.
11 The tree, grew, and became strong, —and, the height thereof, reached unto the heavens, and, the view thereof, unto the end of all the land:
Hote thingkung teh a roung teh a thao poung. Kalvan a deng teh, talai van pueng koehoi hmu e thai e lah ao.
12 The foliage thereof, was beautiful, and, the fruit thereof, abundant, and there was food for all therein, —under it, the wild beast of the field found shade, and, among its branches, dwelt the birds of the heavens, and, therefrom, was well fed, all flesh.
A hna hai a meihawi. Moithang pueng ni ca khuem hane paw hoi akawi. Talai e saringnaw teh hote thingkung tâhlip dawk a kâhat awh, tavanaw ni a kangnaw dawk a kâhat awh.
13 I was looking, in the visions of my head, upon my bed, when lo! a watcher and holy one, outer the heavens, coming down.
Ka ikhun dawk ka yan lahun nah ka hmu e vision teh bout ka khet navah, thingkung ka ring e tami kathoung buet touh kalvan hoi a kum.
14 He cried aloud, and, thus, he said—Hew ye down the tree, and lop off its branches, strip off its leaves, and scatter its fruit, —let the wild beasts flee from under it, and the birds, out of its branches;
Thingkung hah tâtueng haw. Akangnaw hah rabat haw. A hna, a pawnaw hah pahroe haw. Saringnaw ni thingkung rahim hoi tâcawt awh naseh. Tavanaw hai akangnaw dawk hoi tâcawt awh naseh.
15 Nevertheless, the stock of its roots in the earth, leave ye, yea in a bond of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and, with the dew of the heavens, let it be drenched, and, with the wild beasts, be its portion, amongst, the herbage of the earth;
Hateiteh, a tangpha hoi a thongmui teh pâhlung haw. Sumrui, rahum rui hoi pâkhit nateh, hram kanaw um vah awm naseh. Kum sari touh thung khoraum ao vaiteh, saringnaw hoi cungtalah hram cat naseh.
16 Let, its heart, from a man’s, be changed, and, the heart of a wild beast, be given to it, —and let seven seasons pass over it.
Tami lungthin kahmat naseh. Saring lungthin tawn naseh.
17 By the decree of the watchers, is the thing, and [by] the mandate of the holy ones, the matter: to the intent that the living, may get to know, that the Most High, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, to whomsoever he pleaseth, he giveth it, and, one low among men, he setteth up over it.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a Lathueng Poung e Cathut ni talai uknaeram a uk tie thoseh, a poe ngai e tami koe a poe tie hai thoseh, ka rahnoum poung e tami hah a tawm teh ram hah a poe tie hai thoseh, moithangnaw ni a panue thai nahanlah thingkung karingkungnaw ni hettelah a sak awh toe. Tami kathoung naw ni kâ a poe toe telah a ti.
18 This dream, have, I, King Nebuchadnezzar, seen. Thou, therefore, O Belteshazzar, the interpretation, do thou tell, forasmuch as, all the wise men of my kingdom, are unable, the interpretation, to make known to me, but, thou, art able, because, the spirit of the holy gods, is in thee.
Hottelah Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang ni mang ka mang toe. Nang Belteshazzar ka hmu e mang hah atuvah na deicai pouh haw. Kaie uknaeram dawk e a lungkaangnaw ni decai thai awh hoeh eiteh, nang teh kathounge Cathut Muitha hoi na kawi dawkvah, na pâpho thai telah ka hmu e mang hah Daniel koe ka dei pouh.
19 Then, Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonished for about one moment, and, his thoughts, troubled him. The king spake and said, O Belteshazzar, let neither, the dream, nor the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My Lord, The dream, be for them who hate thee, and, the interpretation, for them who are thy foes.
Hat toteh, Belteshazzar telah phung e Daniel teh, suimilam buet touh hane muen a kângai teh a lungpuen. Siangpahrang ni, nang Belteshazzar, mang hoi deingainae dawk na lungpuen sak hanh atipouh. Belteshazzar ni Bawipa, nang na kahmawt ngai hoeh e naw koe mang deingainae teh phat lawiseh.
20 The tree which thou sawest, which grew and became strong, whose, height, reached unto the heavens, and, the view, thereof to all the earth:
Na hmu lahun nah karoung niteh, a tha kaawm poung e, kalvan ka deng niteh, talai van puenghoi hmu thai e,
21 Whose, foliage, was beautiful, and whose, fruit, abundant, and, food for all, was in it, —under it, dwelt the wild beasts of the field, and, in the branches thereof, nestled the birds of the heavens:
a hna hai a meikahawi niteh, moithang pueng ni cakhuem e a paw hoi kakawi e, talai e saringnaw ni a rahim vah ao awh teh, tavanaw ni a kang dawk kâhatnae thingkung hateh,
22 Thyself, it is, O king, in that thou art grown, and become strong, —and, thy greatness hath grown, and reached to the heavens, and, thy dominion, to the end of the earth.
Bawipa nang nama roeroe doeh toe. Nang teh na roung, thaonae hoi na kawi. Lentoe tawntanae teh kalvan kadeng lah ao. Kâ na tawnnae teh talai pout totouh a pha.
23 And, whereas the king saw a watcher and holy one coming down out of the heavens, who said, Hew ye down the tree and despoil it, nevertheless, the stock of its roots—in the earth, leave ye, even in a bond of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, —and, with the dew of the heavens, let it he drenched, and, along with the wild beasts of the field, be its portion, until that, seven seasons, pass over it.
Thingkung ka ring e tami kathoung buet touh kalvan hoi ka kum niteh, thingkung hah tâtueng nateh raphoe haw. Hatei a tangpha hoi a thongmui hah pâhlung nateh, sumrui, rahumrui hoi katek nateh, hram kanaw um vah awm naseh. Kum sari touh thung khoraum awm naseh. Talai e saringnaw hoi rei awm naseh tie teh,
24 This, is the interpretation, O king, —and, the decree of the Most High, it is, which hath come upon my lord the king:
A lathueng poung e Cathut ni siangpahrang nang koe a pha sak e mang deicainae teh,
25 That, thee, are they going to drive forth from among men, and, along with the wild beasts of the field, shall be thy dwelling, and, grass—like oxen, will they suffer, thee, to eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, will they suffer, thee, to be drenched, and, seven seasons, shall pass over thee, —until that thou come to know, that the Most High, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, to whomsoever he pleaseth, he giveth it.
Nang hah tami um hoi na pâlei teh, talai saringnaw hoi reirei na o han. A Lathueng Poung e Cathut ni telah uknaeram hah a uk dawkvah, poe a ngai e taminaw koe a poe e hah na panue hoehnahlan kum sari touh thung maito patetlah hram na ca vaiteh, khoraum na o han.
26 And, whereas they gave word to leave the stock of the roots of the tree, thy kingdom, unto thee, is sure, —after that thou come to know, that the heavens, have dominion.
Thing tangpha, thingthawngmui a pâhlung e teh, Kalvan ni a uk tie na panue hnukkhu, uknaeram hateh, na kut dawk bout poe lah ao han.
27 Wherefore, O king, let, my counsel, be pleasing unto thee, thy sin, then, —by righteousness, break thou off, and, thine iniquities, by shewing favour to the oppressed, —if so be it may become the lengthening out of thy security.
Hatdawkvah siangpahrang kaie lawk hah thai haw. Na tawnta e kasaw lah kangning thai nahan, na yonnae hah lannae lah, na hawihoehnae hah roedengnaw pahrennae lah let palang leih telah atipouh.
28 All this, came upon Nebuchadnezzar the king.
Hote hnopueng Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang koe a phanae kong teh hettelah ao.
29 At the end of twelve months, over the palace of the kingdom of Babylon, was he walking:
Thapa yung 12 apoutnae dawk siangpahrang teh, Babilon im vah a kâhlai.
30 the king spake and said, Is not, this, Babylon the great, —which, I myself, have built as the home of the kingdom, by the might of my power, and for the dignity of my majesty?
Siangpahrang ni, hete khopui teh, ka ram a kamtuenae, ka bawilen taluenae tawm nahanlah ka bahu hoi ka sak e Babilon khopui nahoehmaw telah a ti.
31 While yet the word was in the mouth of the king, a voice, out of the heavens, fell, —Unto thee, is it said, O Nebuchadnezzar the king, The kingdom, hath departed from thee;
Hote lawk a dei lahunnah, kalvan hoi ka tho e lawk teh Oe, Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang, thai haw. Na uknaeram teh na kut dawk hoi takhoe lah ao toe.
32 And, from among men, are they going to drive, thee, forth, and, with the wild beast of the field, shall be thy dwelling, grass—like oxen, will they suffer, thee, to eat, and, seven seasons, shall pass over thee, —until that thou come to know that the Most High, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, to whomsoever he pleaseth, he giveth it.
Nang hah taminaw umsali hoi na pâlei vaiteh, talai saringnaw hoi reirei na o han. A Lathueng Poung ni talai uknaeram hah a uk teh, a poe ngai e tami a poe e hah na panuehoenae tueng, kum sari touh thung maito patetlah hram na ca han telah a ti.
33 Immediately, the word, was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and, from among men, was he driven forth, and, grass—like oxen, did he eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, his body was drenched, —until that, his hair, like to eagles’ feathers, was grown, and his nails, like birds’ claws.
Hote lawk patetlah Nebukhadnezar dawk vaitalahoi a tho teh, tami umsali hoi a pâlei awh. Maito patetlah hram a ca teh, khoraum vah ao. A takmuennaw teh mataw rathei patetlah ao teh, a khokpatinnaw teh tava khokpatin patetlah ao pouh.
34 And, at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, mine eyes unto the heavens, did uplift, and, mine understanding, unto me, returned, and, the Most High, I blessed, and, to him that liveth age-abidingly, I rendered praise and honour, —whose dominion, is an age-abiding dominion, and, his kingdom, lasteth from generation to generation;
Atueng akuep toteh, kai Nebukhadnezar teh kalvan lah ka moung navah, bout ka kâpanue teh, a yungyoe kahring e Cathut hah ka pholen, barinae ka poe teh, ka lentoe sak. Kâ tawnnae teh a yungyoe e doeh. A uknaeram teh a yungyoe a kangning.
35 And, all the inhabitants of the earth, as nothing, are accounted, and, according to his own pleasure, dealeth he—with the army of the heavens, and the inhabitants of the earth, —and none there is who can smite upon his hand, or say to him, What hast thou done?
Talai tami pueng teh, banghai bang hoeh lah ao awh. Kalvan ransanaw koehai thoseh, talai taminaw koehai thoseh, a ngai e patetlah a sak. Apinihai a kut hah ngang thai awh hoeh. Bangmouh na sak ka tet pouh thai e apihai awm hoeh.
36 At the same time, mine understanding, returned unto me, and, for the dignity of my kingdom, my majesty and my brightness, returned unto me, and, unto me, my nearest friends and my nobles, did seek, —and, over my kingdom, was I restored, and, surpassing greatness, was added unto me.
Hat toteh, ka lungthin amahmoe lah bout ao. Kaie uknaeram bawilennae nahanlah bari onae hoi, raimonae teh kai koe bout a ban. Kho kapoukkungnaw hoi bawinaw ni bout na hnai awh teh, ka uknae casak lah ao teh, puenghoi taluenae hai ahmaloe e hlak hoe a len.
37 Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and extolling and honouring the King of the Heavens, all whose works, are truth, and, his ways, right; and, them who walk in pride, he is able to abase,
Atuteh, kai Nebukhadnezar ni kalvan siangpahrang hah ka pholen teh, ka tawm teh ka lentoe sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a sak e hno pueng teh a thuem, a lamthung teh a lan. Kâoup laihoi kho ka sak e pueng teh rahim lah a pabo tie hah kho tangkuem a pathang.
