Daniel 4
1 'Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be great!
Nebukhadnezzar manghai loh namtu pilnam boeih neh olcom olcae neh, diklai pum kah khosa, khosa te, “Nangmih kah ngaimongnah he pungtai saeh.
2 The signs and wonders that God Most High hath done with me, it is good before me to shew.
Khohni kah Khohni Pathen loh kai hamla miknoek neh khobae rhambae te a tueng sak tih kai taengah thui hamla a huem.
3 His signs how great! and His wonders how mighty! His kingdom [is] a kingdom age-during, and His rule [is] with generation and generation.
A miknoek te metluk lam lae boeilen tih amah khobae rhambae he metluk lam lae a tlungluen. A ram he kumhal kah ram tih a khohung khaw thawnpuei lamloh cadilcahma taengah om ni.
4 'I, Nebuchadnezzar, have been at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
Kai Nebukhadnezzar tah ka im kah thayoei nen khaw, ka bawkim kah hnothen nen khaw ka om.
5 a dream I have seen, and it maketh me afraid, and the conceptions on my bed, and the visions of my head, do trouble me.
Mang ka man vaengah kai n'hihham tih ka thingkong dongah poeknah neh ka lu dongkah mangthui loh kai n'cahawh.
6 And by me a decree is made, to cause all the wise men of Babylon to come up before me, that the interpretation of the dream they may cause me to know.
Ka mang kah thuingaihnah Te thui saeh tila Babylon hlang cueih boeih te kamah taengah khuen hamla kai lamloh saithainah a paek coeng.
7 Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me.
Hmayuep rhoek, rhaitonghma rhoek, Khalden rhoek neh aisi aka suep khaw ha pai, ha pai vaengah mang he amih taengah ka thui dae a thuingaihnah Te kai taengah a ming uh moenih.
8 And at last come up before me hath Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar — according to the name of my god — and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I have told:
Tedae a hnukkhueng la Daniel he kai taengla ha pai. Anih Te ka pathen ming bangla Belteshazzar a ming nah. Anih tah a khuiah khaw Pathen Mueihla cim a om dongah a taengah mang ka thui pah.
9 'O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, as I have known that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret doth press thee, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation, tell.
Belteshazzar tah hmayuep boei pai ni. Na khui ah Pathen kah mueihla cim om tih oldung boeih khaw nang hamla kuel pawh tila ka ming. Ka mang ah mangthui ka hmuh tih a thuingaihnah khaw a thui.
10 As to the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and lo, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height [is] great:
Ka thingkong dongah ka lu kah mangthui ka hmuh. Te vaengah diklai laklung kah thing tah a sang khaw muep sang he.
11 become great hath the tree, yea, strong, and its height doth reach to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the whole land;
Thing Te rhoeng tih a hlul dongah a sang loh vaan duela a pha. Te dongah a mueimae he diklai pum kah khobawt duela tueng.
12 its leaves [are] fair, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it: under it take shade doth the beast of the field, and in its boughs dwell do the birds of the heavens, and of it fed are all flesh.
A hnah Te then tih a thaih khaw yet. Te dongah a soah a cungkuem ham buh om tih a hmui ah kohong rhamsa loh hlipying uh. A bu dongah vaan kah vaa loh kho a sak tih te lamloh pumsa boeih a cah.
13 'I was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and lo, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down.
Ka thingkong dongah ka lu dongkah mangthui ka hmuh tih ka om vaengah vaan lamkah thinghla cim tah ha rhum.
14 He is calling mightily, and thus hath said, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and the birds from off its branches;
Thadueng neh pang tih, “Thing Te vung lamtah, a bu Te saih pah, a hnah Te hae pah lamtah a thaih haeh pah. A hmui lamkah rhamsa neh a bu dongkah vaa khaw nong saeh,”.
15 but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts [is] his portion in the herb of the earth;
Tedae a yung a ngo tah diklai ah ngol saeh lamtah thi neh rhohum kah pinnah neh kohong baeldaih khui ah om saeh. Te dongah vaan kah buem loh saep saeh lamtah a hamsum rhamsa neh diklai baelhing lakli ah om saeh.
16 his heart from man's is changed, and the heart of a beast is given to him, and seven times pass over him;
Tekah hlang tah a thinko Te hlang lamloh poehlip saeh lamtah anih te rhamsa thinko pae saeh. Te vaengah anih ham kum rhih thok pah saeh, a ti.
17 by the decree of the sifters [is] the sentence, and by the saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it, and the lowest of men He doth raise up over it.
He kong dongkah thinghla kah saithainah ol neh a cim olpaek oltloek rhangneh a sangkoek lakah a sangkoek loh hlang kah ram neh hlang khaw a hung te mulhing rhoek loh ming uh saeh. Te dongah te te a ngaih sarhui taengah a paek tih mathoe hlang rhoekTe a so, a so ah a pai sak.
18 'This dream I have seen, I king Nebuchadnezzar; and thou, O Belteshazzar, the interpretation tell, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and thou [art] able, for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee.
Kai manghai Nebukhadnezzar loh mang loh ka man he Belteshazzar nang, namah loh a thuingaihnah thui laeh. Te kong dongah ka ram kah hlang cueih boeih loh kai taengah a thuingaihnah thuicaih ham a noeng uh moenih. Nang, namah tah na khuikah Pathen mueihla cim rhangneh na noeng coeng,” a ti.
19 'Then Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, hath been astonished about one hour, and his thoughts do trouble him; the king hath answered and said, O Belteshazzar, let not the dream and its interpretation trouble thee. Belteshazzar hath answered and said, My lord, the dream — to those hating thee, and its interpretation — to thine enemies!
Te dongah Belteshazzar aka ming nah Daniel tah khonoek pakhat khuiah hit sut. A poeknah loh amah a cahawh. Te dongah manghai loh a voek tih, “Belteshazzar, mang neh a thuingaihnah nang Te let boeh,” a ti nah. Belteshazzar loh a doo tih, “Ka boeipa aw, ka boeipa na saeh, mang Te na lunguet, na lunguet ham tih a thuingaihnah tah na rhal, na rhal ham ni.
20 The tree that thou hast seen, that hath become great and strong, and its height doth reach to the heavens, and its vision to all the land,
Na hmuh bangla thing Te rhoeng tih hlul. Te dongah a sang vaan duela a pha tih a mueimae Te diklai pum ah tueng.
21 and its leaves [are] fair, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it, under it dwell doth the beast of the field, and on its boughs sit do the birds of the heavens.
A hnah then tih a thaih yet. A soah a cungkuem ham buh om tih a hmui ah kohong rhamsa loh kho a sak. A bu dongah vaan kah vaa loh kho a sak.
22 'Thou it [is], O king, for thou hast become great and mighty, and thy greatness hath become great, and hath reached to the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth;
Manghai nang namah tah na rhoeng tih na hlul dongah na lennah khaw vaan a pha duela rhoeng na. Na khohung loh diklai khobawt duela a pha.
23 and that which the king hath seen — a sifter, even a holy one, coming down from the heavens, and he hath said, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens it is wet, and with the beast of the field [is] his portion, till that seven times pass over him.
Manghai aw, a tueng bangla, thinghla cim tah vaan lamloh rhum tih, “Thing Te vung uh lamtah palet uh. A yung a ngo tah diklai ah hlun uh lamtah thi neh rhohum kah pinnah neh kohong baeldaih khuiah om saeh. Te vaengah vaan kah buem neh saep saeh lamtah anih te kum rhih a thok duela amah hamsum kohong rhamsa taengah om saeh.
24 'This [is] the interpretation, O king, and the decree of the Most High it [is] that hath come against my lord the king:
Manghai aw a thuingaihnah he tah a sangkoek a sangkoek kah saithainah ni. He he ka boeipa neh ka boeipa manghai taengah pai coeng.
25 and they are driving thee away from men, and with the beast of the field is thy dwelling, and the herb as oxen they do cause thee to eat, and by the dew of the heavens they are wetting thee, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it.
Nang te hlang taeng lamloh m'vai uh vetih kohong rhamsa taengah ni na khosaknah a om eh. Baelhing Te vaito bangla na caak vetih vaan kah buem neh nang te n'saep ni. A sangkoek kah a sangkoek loh hlang kah ram soah a hung tih te te a ngaih sarhui taengah a paek tila na ming hil nang hamla kum rhih thok ni.
26 And that which they said — to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom for thee abideth, after that thou knowest that the heavens are ruling.
Thing kah a yung a ngo hlun ham a thui bangla vaan aka hung te na ming van lamloh na ram Te namah taengla cak ni.
27 'Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and thy sins by righteousness break off, and thy perversity by pitying the poor, lo, it is a lengthening of thine ease.
Te dongah manghai aw, kai poeknah he namah taengah na doe mai mako. Na tholhnah Te duengnah neh phaeh lamtah hlanghnaem pataek na rhen nen Te na halangnah hnawt laeh. Na ommongnah te a congnah a om khaming,” a ti nah.
28 'All — hath come on Nebuchadnezzar the king.
Te boeih Te Nebukhadnezzar manghai taengah a pai pah.
29 'At the end of twelve months, on the palace of the kingdom of Babylon he hath been walking;
Hla hlai nit a bawtnah dongah tah Babylon ram kah bawkim ah om tih pongpa.
30 the king hath answered and said, Is not this that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of mine honour?
Te vaengah manghai Te cal tih, “Babylon he a boeilen moenih a? He Te kai loh ka thadueng sarhi neh kamah kah hinyahnah, thangpomnah ham ram kah im la ka sak,” a ti.
31 'While the word is [in] the king's mouth a voice from the heavens hath fallen: To thee they are saying: O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom hath passed from thee,
Manghai ka dongah ol a cal li vaengah vaan lamkah ol cet tih, “Manghai Nebukhadnezzar nang hamla a thui tih ram he nang lamloh nong coeng.
32 and from men they are driving thee away, and with the beast of the field [is] thy dwelling, the herb as oxen they do cause thee to eat, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it.
Nang te hlang taeng lamloh m'vai coeng tih na khosaknah he kohong rhamsa nen ni a om. Nang te vaito bangla rham n'cah vetih a sangkoek kah a sangkoek loh hlang kah ram soah a hung tih te te a ngaih taengah a paek tila na ming hil nang hamla kum rhih thok ni,” a ti nah.
33 'In that hour the thing hath been fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar, and from men he is driven, and the herb as oxen he eateth, and by the dew of the heavens his body is wet, till that his hair as eagles' hath become great, and his nails as birds.'
Amah ol a bangli vaengah Nebukhadnezzar soah a pha tih hlang taeng lamloh a vai uh. Te vaengah vaito bangla rham a caak tih a sam Te atha bangla, a kuttin Te vaa bangla a sai hil a pum Te vaan kah buem loh a saep.
34 'And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, mine eyes to the heavens have lifted up, and mine understanding unto me returneth, and the Most High I have blessed, and the Age-during Living One I have praised and honoured, whose dominion [is] a dominion age-during, and His kingdom with generation and generation;
A tue bawtnah dongah tah, kai Nebukhadnezzar loh ka mik he vaan la ka huel hatah ka mingnah he ka taengla ha mael. Te dongah a sangkoek Khohni te ka koeh tih kumhal kah mulhing te ka oep tih ka hinyah nah. A khohung Te dungyan kah khohung tih a ram kah thawnpuei lamloh cadilcahma duela cak.
35 and all who are dwelling on the earth as nothing are reckoned, and according to his will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that doth clap with his hand, and saith to Him, What hast Thou done?
Diklai khosa, khosa boeih tah aka om pawt bangla a ngai tih diklai khosa, khosa rhoekTe vaan thadueng neh a ngaih bangla a saii. A kut te aka doek pa tih a taengah “Balae na saii?” aka ti nah te a om moenih.
36 'At that time my understanding doth return unto me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my brightness doth return unto me, and to me my counsellors and my great men do seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant greatness hath been added to me.
Ka mingnah loh ka taengah a mael tue vaengah, ka ram kah thangpomnah, kai hinyahnah neh ka aa ka taengla ha mael. Kai he ka olrhoep neh ka boei ka na rhoek loh n'toem uh. Ka ram he pai tih lennah kai taengah muep a thap.
37 'Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and honouring the King of the heavens, for all His works [are] truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.'
Kai Nebukhadnezzar tah n'oep tih m'pacuet coeng. Te dongah vaan kah manghai tah hinyah pai saeh. A bibi boeih he oltak tih a longpuei khaw tiktam. Te dongah koevoeinah neh aka pongpa te kunyun sak ham a noeng.
