Te vaengah ka Boeipa loh Judah manghai Jehoiakim neh Pathen im kah hnopai ca te Nebukhanezar kut ah a paek. Te dongah te rhoek te Shinar khohmuen kah a pathen im la a khuen tih hnopai te a pathen kah thakvoh im ah a khueh.
3 And he said the king to Ashpenaz [the] chief of officials his to bring some of [the] people of Israel and some of [the] offspring of royalty and some of the nobles.
Te phoeiah manghai loh amah kah imkhoem puei Ashpenaz te Israel ca lamkah neh mangpa tiingan lamkah khaw, angrhaeng rhoek lamkah khaw khuen hamla a thui pah.

Te vaengah a taengah a lolhmaih pakhat khaw aka om pawh camoe rhoek neh a mueimae aka then, cueihnah cungkuem neh aka cangbam, mingnah aka ming, cangnah aka yakming neh amih taengah thadueng aka om tah manghai bawkim ah om ham neh amih te Khalden ca neh ol tukkil hamla a khueh.
5 And he assigned to them the king [the] matter of a day in day its some of [the] deli-caci[es] of the king and some of [the] wine of drink his and to bring up them years three and from [the] end their they will stand before the king.
Manghai loh amih ham tah a hnin hnin ah a hmuethma a khueh pah. Manghai buh neh a buhkoknah misurtui paek tih kum thum khuiah amih te pantai sak ham, a tloihsoi ah manghai mikhmuh ah pai sak ha a uen.
6 And he was among them from [the] people of Judah Daniel Hananiah Mishael and Azariah.
Amih lakli ah Judah koca lamkah Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael neh Azariah om.
7 And he assigned to them [the] chief of the officials names and he assigned to Daniel Belteshazzar and to Hananiah Shadrach and to Mishael Meshach and to Azariah Abed-nego.
Amih te imkhoem mangpa loh ming a paek tih Daniel te Belteshazzar la, Hananiah te Shadrakh la, Mishael te Meshakh la, Azariah te Abednego la a khueh pah.
8 And he set Daniel on heart his that not he defiled himself with [the] delicaci[es] of the king and with [the] wine of drink his and he requested from [the] chief of the officials that not he will defile himself.
Tedae Daniel long tah manghai buh neh, a buhkoknah misurtui neh a nok uh pawt ham a lungbuei ah a khueh. Te dongah a nok pawt ham imkhoem mangpa te a dawt.
9 And he gave God Daniel favor and compassion before [the] chief of the officials.
Pathen loh Daniel te imkhoem mangpa mikhmuh ah sitlohnah neh haidamnaha paek rhoe a paek.
10 And he said [the] chief of the officials to Daniel [am] fearing I master my the king who he has assigned food your and drink your that why? will he see faces your looking thin more than the youths who [are] about age your and you will endanger head my to the king.
Tedae imkhoem mangpa loh Daniel te, “Kai khaw ka boei manghai te ka rhih ta. Anih long ni na caak na buhkoknah he hang khueh. Camoe kah na omngaihnah lakah balae tih na maelhmai te hmai aka tal la a hmuh eh? Ka lu he manghai taengah nan mop coeng,” a ti nah.
11 And he said Daniel to the guardian whom he had assigned [the] chief of the officials over Daniel Hananiah Mishael and Azariah.
Te vaengah Daniel loh buhtaem, Anih te Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael neh Azariah soah imkhoem mangpa la a khueh taengah,
12 Put to [the] test please servants your days ten so let people give to us some of the vegetables so we may eat and water so we may drink.
“Na sal rhoek he hnin rha khuiah n'noemcai mai lamtah ankak mah kaimih m'pae mai saeh. Ka caak uh khaw tui neh ka yun uh eh.
13 And they may appear before you appearance our and [the] appearance of the youths who are eating [the] delicaci[es] of the king and just as you will see deal with servants your.
Te phoeiah kaimih kah mueimae neh manghai buh aka ca camoe rhoek kah mueimae te namah mikhmuh ah tueng saeh. Te vaengkah na hmuh bangla na sal rhoek taengah saii,” a ti nah.
14 And he listened to them to the thing this and he put to [the] test them days ten.

15 And from [the] end of days ten it appeared appearance their good and fat of flesh more than all the youths who were eating [the] delicaci[es] of the king.
Hnin rha a thoknah dongah amih kah mueimae te a then la a sawt. Te vaengah manghai buh aka ca camoe boeih lakah a pumsa toitup.
16 And he was the guardian taking away delicaci[es] their and [the] wine of drink their and giving to them vegetables.
Te dongah buhtaem loh amih kah buh neh a buhkoknah misur te a puen tih amih te ankak a paek.
17 And the youths these [the] four of them he gave to them God knowledge and insight in all writing and wisdom and Daniel he understood every vision and dreams.
Tedae amih pali, camoe rhoek tah Pathen loh a taengah cangnah dongah cabu neh cueihnah boeih te cangbam hamla a paek. Te dongah Daniel loh mangthui neh mueimang te boeih a yakming.
18 And from [the] end of the days which he had said the king to bring them and he brought them [the] chief of the officials before Nebuchadnezzar.
Khohnin kuepnah a pha vaengah amih khuen hamla manghai loh a thui pah tih amih imkhoem mangpa loh Nebukhanezar mikhmuh ah a khuen.
19 And he spoke with them the king and not he was found any of all of them like Daniel Hananiah Mishael and Azariah and they stood before the king.
Manghai te amih taengah a voek vaengah Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael neh Azariah bang he amih boeih khui lamloh hmu pawh. Te dongah amih tah manghai mikhmuh ah pai uh.
20 And every matter of wisdom of understanding which he sought from them the king and he found them ten hands above all the soothsayer-priests the conjurers who [were] in all kingdom his.
Olka cungkuem dongah cueihnah neh yakmingnah amih lamkah te manghai loh a cae vaengah amih tah a ram pum kah khungvatuk neh hmayuep boeih lakah a kut parha la a hmuh.
21 And he was Daniel until year one of Cyrus the king.
