Daniel 2

1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, dreamed hath Nebuchadnezzar dreams, and his spirit doth move itself, and his sleep hath been against him;

Nebukhadnezar a bawinae a kum pahni navah, a mang lah a hmu e hno dawkvah roumkalue teh ip thai hoeh.

2 and the king saith to call for scribes, and for enchanters, and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they come in and stand before the king;

Hat toteh, siangpahrang ni a ram thung kaawm e mitpalei kathoumnaw, kutkhetkathoumnaw, kahrai ka pâlei thainaw hoi, Khaldeannaw hah pâkhueng awh ati e patetlah ahnimanaw a tho awh teh,

3 and the king saith to them, 'A dream I have dreamed, and moved is my spirit to know the dream.'

siangpahrang ni ka mang lah ka hmu e hah bang ngainae ne, ka panue thai hoeh dawkvah, ka lung nawm hoeh, dei awh haw atipouh.

4 And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaean, 'O king, to the ages live, tell the dream to thy servants, and the interpretation we do shew.'

Hatnavah Khaldeannaw ni Aramaih lawk lahoi, siangpahrang na hring saw seh. Kaimouh koe na mang hah rui haw. Kaimouh ni na mang teh ka leh awh vai nei atipouh awh.

5 The king hath answered and said to the Chaldeans, 'The thing from me is gone; if ye do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, pieces ye are made, and your houses are made dunghills;

Siangpahrang ni yo ka dei toung hat tayaw. Hote mang hoi a ngainae na dei thai awh hoehpawiteh, tawntarawn lah na tâtueng awh han. Na imlawnaw hai vaipuen songnawng lah ka coung sak han atipouh.

6 and if the dream and its interpretation ye do shew, gifts, and fee, and great glory ye receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation shew ye me.'

Mang hoi deingainae na deicai pawiteh, poehnonaw, tawkphunaw hoi barinae kalen a hmu han. Hatdawkvah, mang hoi deingainae hah kai koe dei awh telah Khaldean a lungkaangnaw koe atipouh.

7 They have answered a second time, and are saying, 'Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and the interpretation we do shew.

Ahnimanaw ni, siangpahrang, na mang hah kaimouh koe dei haw, kaimouh ni ka leh awh vainei bout atipouh awh.

8 The king hath answered and said, 'Of a truth I know that time ye are gaining, because that ye have seen that the thing is gone from me,

Hat toteh, siangpahrang ni yo ka dei toung hatayaw. A hnin thapa asaw nahanelah atueng tahruet sak hane doeh na ngai awh tie ka panue.

9 [so] that, if the dream ye do not cause me to know — one is your sentence, seeing a word lying and corrupt ye have prepared to speak before me, till that the time is changed, therefore the dream tell ye to me, then do I know that its interpretation ye do shew me.'

Mang hah na dei awh hoehpawiteh, pouknae buet touh duengdoeh kaawm. Atueng kasaw nakunghai, laithoe hrawnghrang doeh dei hanelah na kâcai awh toe. Mang hah bout deih awh. Hottelah na dei thai awh pawiteh, leh hai na leh thai awh han tie ka panue bout atipouh.

10 The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are saying, 'There is not a man on the earth who is able to shew the king's matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, hath asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean;

Khaldeannaw ni, siangpahrang nang ni na dei e patetlah ka dei thai hane tami buet touh boehai awm hoeh. Bangpatet e siangpahrang ni hai a lentoe eiteh, mitpaleikathoumnaw, camkathoumnaw, Khaldean taminaw koe hettelah pacei boihoeh.

11 and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and others are there not that do shew it before the king, save the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.'

Siangpahrang nang ni na pacei e teh, ka ru poung e hno doeh. Tami lah kaawm hoeh e Cathut hloilah apinihai pâpho thai mahoeh bout atipouh awh.

12 Therefore the king hath been angry and very wroth, and hath said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;

Hote lawk hah a thai navah, puenghoi a lungkhuek teh, Babilon kho dawk kaawm e tami lungkaangnaw pueng koung thei lah awmseh telah kâ a poe.

13 And the sentence hath gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.

Hat toteh, hote kâ hah a pathang awh teh, a lungkaangnaw thei a kamtawng awh teh, Daniel hoi a huinaw hah thei hanlah a tawng awh.

14 Then Daniel hath replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who hath gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel ni bangkongmaw siangpahrang e kâ teh, hettelah totouh a rang vaw telah,

15 He hath answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, 'Wherefore [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?' Then Arioch hath made the thing known to Daniel,

Babilon tami lungkaangnaw thei hanlah ka cet e naw kahrawikung, siangpahrang ka ring e Ariok koe kâhruetcuet laihoi a pacei.

16 and Daniel hath gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to shew the interpretation to the king.

Ariok ni hote konglamnaw hah a dei navah, Daniel ni siangpahrang im a kâen teh, hote mang deicai nahanelah atueng na poe ei telah a kâhei.

17 Then Daniel to his house hath gone, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he hath made the thing known,

Hahoi ama im a ban teh, hote akongnaw hah a huinaw Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah tinaw koe a dei pouh.

18 and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret, that they destroy not Daniel and his companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

Hat toteh, maimouh teh alouke Babilon a lungkaangnaw hoi reirei due awh hoeh nahanelah, hete hrolawk dawk lungmanae coe awh nahan, kalvan Cathut koe ratoum awh sei ati awh.

19 Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret hath been revealed. Then hath Daniel blessed the God of the heavens.

Karum toteh Cathut ni vision lahoi, hote hrolawk hah Daniel koe a dei pouh.

20 Daniel hath answered and said, 'Let the name of God be blessed from age even unto age, for wisdom and might — for they are His.

Hat toteh, Daniel ni kalvan Cathut e lungmanae hah a pholen teh, Cathut min teh a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe ditouh pholen lah awmseh. Lungangnae hoi hnotithainae hoi akawi.

21 And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.

A tue hoi khotue naw hah a kâthung sak. Siangpahrangnaw hai a pabo, a tawmtakhang, a lungkaang e naw koe lungangnae na poe. Kho ka pouk thai naw ni hai na lungmanae dawk hoi doeh a panue thai awh.

22 He is revealing deep and hidden things; He hath known what [is] in darkness, and light with Him hath dwelt.

Ka ru e hnonaw hai kamcengcalah, na patue awh. A hmonae koe kaawm e pueng na panue teh, nama koe angnae teh ao.

23 Thee, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might Thou hast given to me; and now, Thou hast caused me to know that which we have sought from Thee, for the king's matter Thou hast caused us to know.'

Mintoenaw e Cathut, hnotithainae hoi lungangnae na poe teh, kaimouh ni ka ratoum awh e patetlah siangpahrang e a mang pâpho thainae lungangnae teh ka pholen telah Daniel ni a ratoum.

24 Therefore Daniel hath gone up unto Arioch, whom the king hath appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he hath gone, and thus hath said to him, 'The wise men of Babylon thou dost not destroy, bring me up before the king, and the interpretation to the king I do shew.'

Hathnukkhu Babilon lungkaangnaw thei hanlah a patoun e Ariok koe a cei teh, Babilon tami lungkaangnaw hah thet hanh. Kai hah siangpahrang koe na thak haw. Kai ni mang hoi deingainae hah ka pâpho pouh vainei atipouh.

25 Then Arioch in haste hath brought up Daniel before the king, and thus hath said to him — 'I have found a man of the sons of the Removed of Judah, who the interpretation to the king doth make known.'

Hat toteh, Ariok ni Daniel hah karanglah siangpahrang koe a hrawi teh, siangpahrang, nange mang hoi deingainae ka pâpho thai e tami Judahnaw man e thung dawk e buet touh ka hmu toe atipouh.

26 The king hath answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, 'Art thou able to cause me to know the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?'

Siangpahrang ni kai ni ka mang e mang hah dei vaiteh deingainae hah na pâpho thai han maw telah Belteshazzar tie Daniel hah a pacei navah,

27 Daniel hath answered before the king and said, 'The secret that the king is asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the scribes, the soothsayers, are not able to shew to the king;

Daniel ni siangpahrang, nang ni na pacei e hah a lungkaangnaw, camkathoumnaw, mitpaleikathoumnaw, hoi khueyuenaw ni pâpho thai mahoeh.

28 but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. 'Thy dream and the visions of thy head on thy bed are these:

Hro e naw ka pâpho niteh, ato hmalah ka tho hane naw siangpahrang nang koe ka dei pouh e Cathut buet touh duengdoeh kalvan vah kaawm.

29 Thou, O king, thy thoughts on thy bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets hath caused thee to know that which [is] to be.

Oe siangpahrang, na i navah ato hmalah ka tho hane naw hah na pouk. Hro e naw kapâphokung Cathut ni ato hmalah ka tho hane naw hah nang koe na patue.

30 As to me — not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living hath this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of thy heart thou dost know.

Hete hro e hno hah, kai teh alouke moithangnaw hlak hoe ka lungang dawkvah kai koe a pâpho e nahoeh. Nang ni na lungthung na pouk e naw hah na panue thai nahanlah doeh deingainae naw hah Cathut ni na pâpho pouh.

31 'Thou, O king, wast looking, and lo, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing over-against thee, and its appearance [is] terrible.

Siangpahrang, na i lahun nah na mang e vision teh, na khet navah meikaphawk hah na hmu. Athakaawme lah ao. Hote meikaphawk teh, taki ka tho e meilam hoi na hmalah a kâpâhung.

32 This image! its head [is] of good gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass;

A lû teh sui, a lungtabue hoi a kut roi teh ngun lah ao.

33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.

A von hoi a phai roi teh, rahum lah ao. A khok buembue roi teh sum lah ao. Khoktabei hoi khoksampha teh sum atangawn amhru atangawn lah ao.

34 Thou wast looking till that a stone hath been cut out without hands, and it hath smitten the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it hath broken them small;

Nang ni na khet lahun nah, kut hoi sak hoeh e amahmawk kaawm e talung buet touh ni, meikaphawk e khok sum tangawn amhru tangawn e koe a ten torei teh,

35 then broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and carried them away hath the wind, and no place hath been found for them: and the stone that smote the image hath become a great mountain, and hath filled all the land.

sum, amhru, rahum, ngun, sui naw teh, reppasei lah ao. Kawmpoi vah, cangkatinnae koe e vaiphu patetlah ao nahan awm laipalah, kahlî ni a palek teh a kahma. Meikaphawk ka ten e talung a roung teh, kalenpounge mon lah a coung. Talaivan pueng koung a ramuk telah mang na sak.

36 This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we do tell before the king.

Atuvah, mang ni deingainae na dei pouh vai.

37 'Thou, O king, art a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, hath given to thee;

Siangpahrang, nang teh siangpahrangnaw e siangpahrang lah na o. Kalvan Cathut ni uknaeram, thasainae, hoi bawilennae na poe toe.

38 and whithersoever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the fowl of the heavens, He hath given into thy hand, and hath caused thee to rule over them all; thou [art] this head of gold.

Tami khosaknae hmuen pueng koe, saringnaw hoi kahlun e tavanaw pueng na kut dawk poe lah ao teh, abuemlahoi uknae kâ na tawn. Nang teh, meikaphawk e suilû lah na o.

39 And after thee doth rise up another kingdom lower than those, and another third kingdom of brass, that doth rule overall the earth.

Nang hnukkhu lah, nang patetlah kalen hoeh e alouke uknaeram a tâco han. Hathnukkhu talai van pueng ka uk hane apâthum e rahum ram a tâco han.

40 And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all [things], even as iron that is breaking all these, it beateth small and breaketh.

Apalinae uknaeram teh, sum patetlah kate e lah ao han. Sum teh alouke hno pueng a raphoe thai e patetlah apalinae ram ni raphoe vaiteh, a rektap han.

41 As to that which thou hast seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter's clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron [is] to be in it, because that thou hast seen the iron mixed with miry clay.

Kutsak e khoktabei hoi khoksamphanaw teh, sum tangawn amhru tangawn lah ao e hah na hmu e patetlah, buet touh hoi buet touh kâtaran e uknaeram lah ao han. Hatei, amhru pâeng e hoi sum kalawt e na hmu e patetlah sum teh a tê han.

42 As to the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle.

Khokcareinaw teh sum tangawn amhru tangawn lah ao e na hmu e patetlah, uknaeram atangawn teh a tê han, atangawn teh a rawk a yawi han.

43 Because thou hast seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering one with another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Amhru pâeng e hoi sum kalawt e hah na hmu e patetlah khocanaw teh ram alouknaw hoi a kâkalawt awh han. Hatei, amhru hoi sum a kâkalawt thai hoeh e patetlah buet touh hoi buet touh kâpo thai mahoeh.

44 'And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed — to the age, and its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age.

Kut hoi sak hoeh e talung buet touh ni mon hoi amahmawk a kamlei teh, sum, rahum, ngun, sui, amhrunaw hah reppasei lah a ten e na hmu e hateh, rawknae koe ka phat thai hoeh e, hote bawinae tueng nah kalvan Cathut ni uknaeram a kangdue sak han. Hote teh Jentelnaw e kut dawk phat toung laipalah, ahmaloe dei tangcoung e ram pueng hah raphoe vaiteh, a yungyoe a cak han.

45 Because that thou hast seen that out of the mountain cut hath been a stone without hands, and it hath beaten small the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation stedfast.

Hottelah, ato hmalah ka tho hane hnonaw hah ka lentoe poung e Cathut ni siangpahrang nang koe a dei e doeh. Nange mang teh, katang e doeh. Deicainae hai kahman e doeh telah Daniel ni a dei pouh.

46 Then hath king Nebuchadnezzar fallen on his face, and to Daniel he hath done obeisance, and present, and sweet things, he hath said to pour out to him.

Hattoteh siangpahrang ni Daniel hmalah a tabo teh barinae a poe. Hmuitui hmaisawi hane hoi pasoumhno pasoung hanelah kâ a poe hnukkhu,

47 The king hath answered Daniel and said, 'Of a truth [it is] that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou hast been able to reveal this secret.'

nang ni hete hrolawk hah na pâpho thai dawkvah, atangcalah nange Cathut teh, cathutnaw e Cathut, siangpahrangnaw e Bawi, hrolawk ka pâpho thai e Bawipa doeh telah a ti.

48 Then the king hath made Daniel great, and many great gifts he hath given to him, and hath caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the perfects over all the wise men of Babylon.

Hat toteh, Daniel hah thaw a luen sak teh, hnopai moikapap a poe hnukkhu, Babilon ram dawk bawi lah thoseh, Babilon lungkaangnaw kaukkung bawi lah a ta.

49 And Daniel hath sought from the king, and he hath appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.

Hat toteh, Daniel ni a kâhei e patetlah siangpahrang ni, Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw hah Babilon ram thung thaw katawkkung lah a ta. Hatei, Daniel teh siangpahrang im vah a tahung.
