Daniel 2
1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, he had dreams. His mind was troubled, and he could not sleep.
Nebuchadnezzar loe siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hnetto naah, amang to sak, zithaih palung a tawnh pongah, iip thai ai.
2 Then the king summoned the magicians and those who claimed to speak with the dead. He also called the sorcerers and wise men. He wanted them to tell him about his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
Siangpahrang ih amang thuih han ih, miklet kop kaminawk, banpadae khet kop kaminawk, lungh aah kop kaminawk hoi Khaldian ih palungha kaminawk to kawk hanah lok a paek.
3 The king said to them, “I have had a dream, and my mind is anxious to know what the dream means.”
Siangpahrang mah nihcae khaeah, Amang maeto ka sak, amang to ka panoek ai pongah zithaih palungthin ka tawnh, tiah a naa.
4 Then the wise men spoke to the king in Aramaic, “King, live forever! Tell the dream to us, your servants, and we will reveal the meaning.”
To naah cakaeh khet kop kaminawk mah siangpahrang to Syria lok hoiah, Aw siangpahrang na hinglung sawk nasoe! Na tamnanawk khaeah amang to thui ah, kaicae mah kang leh pae o han hmang, tiah a naa o.
5 The king replied to the wise men, “This matter has been settled. If you do not reveal the dream to me and interpret it, your bodies will be torn apart and your houses made into rubbish heaps.
Siangpahrang mah cakaeh khet kop kaminawk khaeah, Hae tiah lok ka takroek boeh; ka mang hae nang panoek o sak ai moe, nang leh pae o thai ai nahaeloe, aboengh aboengh ah kang takroek o moe, na imnawk doeh angpop sut maiphu baktiah ka sak han.
6 But if you will tell me the dream and its meaning, you will receive gifts from me, a reward, and great honor. So tell to me the dream and its meaning.”
Toe ka mang hae nang panoek o sak moe, nang leh pae o thaih nahaeloe, kai khae hoi hnuk han koi tangqum hoi athonawk to na hnuk o pacoengah, kalen parai pakoehhaih to na hnu o tih; to pongah ka mang hoi a thuih koehhaih to na thui oh, tiah a naa.
7 They replied again and said, “Let the king tell us, his servants, the dream and we will tell you its meaning.”
To naah nihcae mah, Siangpahrang mah a tamnanawk khaeah amang to thui nasoe, kaicae mah amang kang leh pae o han, tiah a naa o let.
8 The king answered, “I know for certain that you want more time because you see how firm my decision is about this.
To naah siangpahrang mah, Lok takroekhaih ka sak boeh, tiah na panoek o pongah, atue akra han ih ni na sak o, tito ka panoek.
9 But if you do not tell me the dream, there is only one sentence for you. You have decided to prepare false and deceptive words that you agreed together to say to me until I change my mind. So then, tell me the dream, and then I will know you can interpret it for me.”
Amang nang thui o ai nahaeloe, nangcae han lok takroekhaih maeto khue ni oh boeh; atue akra hanah alinghaih hoi amsawnlok thuih han ih ni na poek o boeh; to pongah amang to na thui oh, to naah ni amang nang leh pae o thaih, tiah ka panoek tih, tiah a naa.
10 The wise men replied to the king, “There is not a man on earth able to meet the king's demand. There is no great and powerful king who has demanded such a thing from any magician, or from anyone who claims to speak with the dead, or from a wise man.
Cakaeh khet kop kaminawk mah siangpahrang khaeah, Siangpahrang mah hnuk ih hmuennawk kathui thaih kami long nuiah mi doeh om ai; kawbaktih siangpahrang, angraeng hoi ukkung mah doeh to baktih hmuennawk to miklet kop kami, cakaeh khet kop kami hoi lungh aah kop kaminawk khaeah dueng vai ai.
11 What the king demands is difficult, and there is no one who can tell it to the king except the gods, and they do not live among humans.”
Siangpahrang mah dueng ih lok loe karai parai hmuen ah oh, taksa ah kaom ai sithawnawk khue mah ai ah loe, mi mah doeh siangpahrang hma ah thui thai mak ai, tiah a naa o.
12 This made the king angry and very furious, and he gave an order to destroy all those in Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
To lok to anih mah thaih naah siangpahrang loe paroeai palungphui moe, Babylon prae thungah kaom palungha kaminawk hum boih hanah lok a paek.
13 So the decree went out that all those who were known for their wisdom were to be put to death. Because of this decree, they searched for Daniel and his friends so they could be put to death.
Palungha kaminawk hum hanah lok takroek boeh pongah, nihcae mah Daniel hoi anih ih ampuinawk doeh hum hanah pakrong o.
14 Then Daniel replied with prudence and discretion to Arioch the commander of the king's bodyguard, who had come to kill all those in Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
Babylon prae thung ih palungha kaminawk hum han kacaeh, siangpahrang toepkung misatuh angraeng Ariok to Daniel mah palunghahaih hoiah lokdueng;
15 Daniel asked the king's commander, “Why is the king's decree so urgent?” So Arioch told Daniel what had happened.
anih mah Ariok khaeah siangpahrang toepkung misatuh angraeng, tipongah siangpahrang mah karangah lokpaekhaih to sak loe? tiah a naa. To naah Ariok mah Daniel khaeah, Kangcoeng tangcae hmuen kawng to thuih pae.
16 Then Daniel went in and requested an appointment with the king so that he could present the interpretation to the king.
To naah Daniel mah siangpahrang khaeah caeh moe, anih ih amang leh pae hanah atue to hnik.
17 Then Daniel went to his house and explained to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, what had happened.
To pacoengah Daniel loe angmah im ah amlaem moe, to tiah kaom hmuen to ampuinawk ah kaom Hananiah, Mishael hoi Azariah khae ah thuih pae:
18 He urged them to seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery so that he and they might not be killed with the rest of the men of Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
Daniel hoi anih ih ampuinawk mah Babylon prae thung ih palungha kaminawk hoi nawnto hum han ai ah, hae panoek thai ai ih hmuen pongah van Sithaw khaeah tahmen hnikhaih lawkthui o si, tiah a naa.
19 That night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven
Aqum ah loe panoek thai ai ih hmuen hnuksakhaih to Daniel khaeah amtueng pae. To naah Daniel mah van Sithaw to pakoeh.
20 and said, “Praise the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and power belong to him.
Daniel mah, palunghahaih hoi thacakhaih loe anih ih ni: Sithaw ih ahmin loe dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to pakoehaih om nasoe:
21 He changes the times and seasons; he removes kings and places kings on their thrones. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.
Anih mah ni atue hoi khotuenawk to paqoi; siangpahrangnawk to takhoe moe, siangpahrangnawk to a suek; palungha kami khaeah palunghahaih to a paek moe, panoek thaihaih tawn kaminawk khaeah panoekhaih to a paek:
22 He reveals the deep and hidden things because he knows what is in the darkness, and the light lives with him.
Anih mah ni kathuk hoi kanghawk hmuennawk to amtuengsak; aanghaih loe anih thungah oh pongah, vinghaih thungah kaom hmuen to anih mah panoek.
23 God of my ancestors, I thank you and praise you for the wisdom and power you gave to me. Now you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the matter that concerns the king.”
Aw kam panawk ih Sithaw, na nuiah anghoehaih ka tawnh, nang kang pakoeh; palunghahaih hoi thacakhaih to nang paek, nang khaeah kang hnik o ih hmuen to vaihi nang panoeksak boeh; siangpahrang mah hnik ih hmuen to kaicae khaeah nam tuengsak boeh, tiah lawkthuih.
24 Then Daniel went in to see Arioch (the one the king appointed to kill everyone who was wise in Babylon). He went and said to him, “Do not kill the wise men in Babylon. Take me to the king and I will show the king the interpretation of his dream.”
To pongah Daniel loe siangphrang mah Babylon prae thung ih palungha kaminawk hum han lokpaek ih Ariok taengah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Babylon prae ih palungha kaminawk to hum hmah; siangpahrang hma ah kai hae na hoi ah, kai mah siangpahrang ih amang to ka leh pae han, tiah a naa.
25 Then Arioch quickly brought in Daniel before the king and said, “I have found among the exiles of Judah a man who will reveal the meaning of the king's dream.”
Ariok mah Daniel to siangpahrang khaeah karangah caeh haih, anih khaeah, Judah prae hoi misong ah hoih ih kaminawk thungah siangpahrang ih amang leh thaih kami maeto ka hnuk boeh, tiah a naa.
26 The king said to Daniel (who was called Belteshazzar), “Are you able to tell me the dream that I saw and its meaning?”
Siangpahrang mah, Belteshazzar, tiah kawk ih Daniel khaeah, Ka hnuk ih amang to nang leh pae thaih han maw? tiah a naa.
27 Daniel answered the king and said, “The mystery that the king has asked about cannot be revealed by those who have wisdom, nor by those who claim to speak with the dead, nor by magicians, and not by astrologers.
Daniel mah, siangpahrang hma ah, Siangpahrang mah dueng ih panoek karai hmuen loe palungha kaminawk, cakaeh khet kop kaminawk, miklet kop kaminawk hoi banpadae khet kop kaminawk mah thui o thai mak ai;
28 Nevertheless, there is a God who lives in the heavens, who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to you, King Nebuchadnezzar, what will happen in the days to come. These were your dream and the visions of your mind as you lay on your bed.
toe hmuen kanghawk thuikung Sithaw loe van ah oh; anih mah hmabang ah kaom han koi hmuen to Nebuchadnezzar siangpahrang khaeah amtuengsak boeh. Na maang ih, iihkhun nuiah nang songh naah na hnuk ih hmuen loe hae tiah oh;
29 As for you, king, your thoughts on your bed were about things to come, and the one who reveals mysteries has made known to you what is about to happen.
Aw siangpahrang, nang khaeah, iihkhun nuiah na oh naah hmabang angzo han koi poekhaih to na palung thungah angzoh, hmuen kanghawk amtuengsakkung mah hmabang angzo han koi hmuen to nang khaeah panoeksak boeh.
30 As for me, this mystery was not revealed to me because of any wisdom that I have more than any other living person. This mystery was revealed to me so that you, king, may understand the meaning, and so that you may know the thoughts deep within you.
Kai loe minawk kalah pong palungha kue pongah hae kanghawk hmuen hae kai khaeah amtueng ai, siangpahrang ih amang to panoek moe, palung thung hoi na poek ih hmuen na panoek thai han ih ni, Sithaw mah kai khaeah amtuengsak.
31 King, you looked up and you saw a large statue. This statue, which was very powerful and bright, stood before you. Its brightness was terrifying.
Aw siangpahrang, Na khet naah paroeai kalen krang to na hnuk. Hae paroeai kalen kampha krang loe paroeai hoih moe, na hma ah angdoet; amtuenghaih dan loe paroeai zit thoh.
32 The head of the statue was made of fine gold. Its breast and arms were of silver. Its middle and its thighs were made of bronze,
To krang ih lu loe kaciim sui ah oh, saoek hoi ban tampawk loe sum kanglung ah oh moe, zok hoi phaih loe sum kamling ah oh,
33 and its legs were made of iron. Its feet were made partly of iron and partly of clay.
a khok loe sum, khokpadae loe sum ahap long ahap ah oh.
34 You looked up, and a stone was cut out, although not by human hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and it shattered them.
Na khet li naah, kami ban hoi pakhoih ai ih thlung maeto mah sum hoi long kangbaeh krang ih khok to vah pongah, khok loe koih o phaeng.
35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold at the same time were broken into pieces and became like the chaff of the threshing floors in the summer. The wind carried them away and there was no trace of them left. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
To naah sum, long, sum kamling, sum kanglung hoi kaciim suinawk loe nawnto koih o boih moe, nipui tue cang atit ih tavai baktiah oh o; hnuk han om ai ah takhi mah hmuh phaeng; krang va phaeng kalen parai thlung loe mae pui ah angcoeng moe, long ah koi boih.
36 This was your dream. Now we will tell the king the meaning.
Na mang loe hae tiah oh; vaihi siangpahrang hma ah amang thuikoehhaih to kang thuih pae o han.
37 You, king, are king of the kings to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the honor.
Aw siangpahrang, Nang loe siangpahrangnawk ih siangpahrang ah na oh; van Sithaw mah prae ukhaih, toksak thaihaih, thacakhaih hoi lensawkhaih to nang hanah ang paek.
38 He has given into your hand the place where the human beings live. He has given over the animals of the fields and the birds of the heavens into your hand, and he has made you rule over them all. You are the statue's head of gold.
Kami caanawk ohhaih ahmuen kruekah, anih mah moinawk hoi van ih tavaanawk boih na ban ah paek boeh, nihcae boih ukkung ah nang to ang suek. Kaciim sui hoi sak ih lu loe nang thuikoehhaih ih ni.
39 After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze will rule over all the earth.
Nang pacoengah nang pong ka hnaem kue, siangpahrang ukhaih prae kalah maeto om tih; to pacoengah thumto haih sum kamling ukhaih prae, tiah kaom, kalah siangpahrang ukhaih prae mah long nui to uk boih tih.
40 There will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks other things into pieces and shatters everything. It will shatter all these things and crush them.
Palito haih thacak siangpahrang ukhaih prae loe sum kamtak baktiah om tih; sum mah loe kalah hmuennawk to koihsak moe, hmuen boih to pazawk; sum mah hmuennawk boih koihsak baktih toengah, anih mah kalah hmuennawk to koisak ueloe, pacaekthlaek tih.
41 Just as you saw, the feet and toes were partly made of baked clay and partly made of iron, so it will be a divided kingdom; some of the strength of iron will be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay.
Na hnuk ih krang ih khokpadae hoi khokpazungnawk loe sum ahap long ahap ah oh baktih toengah, to siangpahrang ukhaih prae loe angkom thai mak ai; toe na hnuk ih krang loe sum hoi long angbaeh baktih toengah, prae thungah sum thacakhaih to om tih.
42 As the toes of the feet were partly made of iron and partly made of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
Na hnuk ih sum hoi long angbaeh khokpazungnawk baktih toengah, prae loe ahap thacak ueloe, ahap koi tih.
43 As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so the people will be a mixture; they will not stay together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
Na hnuk ih sum hoi long angbaeh baktih toengah, nihcae loe acaeng kalah kaminawk hoi angbaeh o tih; toe sum hoi long angbet thai ai baktih toengah, nihcae loe maeto hoi maeto poek amhong o mak ai.
44 In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be conquered by another people. It will break the other kingdoms into pieces and put an end to all of them, and it will remain forever.
To siangpahrangnawk ih atue thuem ah, natuek naah doeh amro thai ai siangpahrang ukhaih prae to van Sithaw mah phasak tih; to ukhaih prae loe minawk kalah khaeah caehtaak mak ai, siangpahrang ukhaih praenawk to amrosak boih ueloe, boenghaih phasak tih; toe anih ih prae loe dungzan khoek to cak tih.
45 Just as you saw, a stone was cut out of the mountain, but not by human hands. It broke the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to you, king, what will happen after this. The dream is true and this interpretation is reliable.”
Na hnuk ih kami ban hoi sak ih na ai ah mae thung hoi lak ih thlung mah, koi phaeng ah vah ih sum, sum kamling, long, kaciim sui hoi sum kanglungnawk loe, lensawk Sithaw mah hmabang ah kaom han koi hmuen siangpahrang khaeah amtuengsak ih ni; amang loe palung uihcom han om ai, amang lehhaih loe tangtang ah oh, tiah a naa.
46 King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face before Daniel and honored him; he commanded that an offering be made and that incense be offered up to him.
To naah Nebuchadnezzar loe a hma ah akuep moe, Daniel to bok, anih khaeah hmuihoih to thlaek moe, hmuenpaekhaih sak hanah lok a paek.
47 The king said to Daniel, “Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and the one who reveals mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.”
Siangpahrang mah Daniel khaeah, Na Sithaw loe sithawnawk ih Sithaw, siangpahrangnawk ih Angraeng, kanghawk hmuen amtuengsak Sithaw ah oh tangtang pongah, hae panoek ai ih hmuen hae nang thuih thaih, tiah a naa.
48 Then the king made Daniel highly honored and gave him many wonderful gifts. He made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon. Daniel became chief governor over the wisest men of Babylon.
Siangpahrang mah Daniel hanah kalen tok to paek, pop parai tangqum doeh a paek; anih to Babylon prae ahap ukkung ah suek moe, Babylon palungha kaminawk boih ukkung ah doeh a suek.
49 Daniel made a request of the king, and the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be administrators over the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained at the king's court.
To pacoengah Daniel mah hnik ih baktih toengah siangpahrang mah, Shadrach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego cae doeh Babylon prae ahap ukkung ah suek; toe Daniel loe siangpahrang ohhaih im ah toksak.
