< Daniel 5 >
1 Belshazzar the king hath made a great feast to a thousand of his great men, and before the thousand he is drinking wine;
Belshazzar manghai loh a boei thawngat hamla boeilen buhkoknah a saii tih thawngkhat mikhmuh ah misurtui a ok.
2 Belshazzar hath said — while tasting the wine — to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that drink with them may the king, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines.
Belshazzar loh, “Misurtui yukung ah a napa Nebukhadnezzar loh Jerusalem bawkim lamkah a loh sui neh cak hnopai te hang khuen lamtah te nen manghai neh a boei rhoek, a yuu rhoek neh a yula rhoek long khaw o saeh,” a ti.
3 Then they have brought in the vessels of gold that had been taken out of the temple of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and drunk with them have the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines;
Te dongah Jerusalem, Pathen im kah bawkim lamloh a loh sui hnopai te a khuen uh tih te nen te manghai neh a boei rhoek long khaw, a yuu rhoek neh a yula rhoek long khaw a ok uh.
4 they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Misurtui a ok uh vaengah sui pathen neh cak, rhohum, thi, thing, lungto te a koeh uh.
5 In that hour come forth have fingers of a man's hand, and they are writing over-against the candlestick, on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is writing;
Amah tekah khonoek vaengah hlang kut dongkah kutdawn rhoek a caeh pah. Te phoeiah manghai hmaitung hmatoeng, manghai bawkim thoh dongkah taptlang dongah ca a daek pah. A daek vaengah ah khaw kut dongkah kutbom bueng ni manghai loh a hmuh.
6 then the king's countenance hath changed, and his thoughts do trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are smiting one against another.
Te dongah manghai te a aa yat tih a poeknah loh amah a cahawh coeng. A hlit kah rhuhcong khaw phit tih a khuklu te heben hebang la a khuek.
7 Call doth the king mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. Answered hath the king, and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, 'Any man who doth read this writing, and its interpretation doth shew me, purple he putteth on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and third in the kingdom he doth rule.'
Manghai loh rhaitonghma rhoek khaw, Khalden rhoek khaw, aisi aka suep rhoek te khue hamla thadueng neh pang. Te phoeiah manghai te cal tih Babylon hlang cueih rhoek te, “Cadaek he a tae tih a thuingaihnah kai hamla aka thui hlang boeih te tah daidi hni a bai vetih a rhawn ah sui a oi vetih ram a pathum nah dongah boei ni,” a ti nah.
8 Then coming up are all the wise men of the king, and they are not able to read the writing, and the interpretation to make known to the king;
Manghai kah hlang cueih boeih te cet tah cet uh dae cadaek te tae tih manghai taengah a thuingaihnah, thuicaih ham noeng uh pawh.
9 then the king Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
Te dongah manghai Belshazzar muep let tih a aa yat tih amah neh a boei rhoek khaw a lukil uh.
10 The queen, on account of the words of the king and his great men, to the banquet-house hath come up. Answered hath the queen, and said, 'O king, to the ages live; let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor thy countenance be changed:
Manghai neh a boei rhoek kah ol kong ah manghainu khaw buhkoknah im la cet. Manghainu long khaw a voek tih, “Manghai tah kumhal duela hing saeh, na poeknah loh nang n'let sak boel saeh lamtah na aa yat boel saeh.
11 there is a man in thy kingdom in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and, in the days of thy father, light, and understanding, and wisdom — as the wisdom of the gods — was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him — thy father, O king —
Na ram ah he a khuiah Pathen kah mueihla cim aka khueh hlang om ta. Na pa tue vaengah khaw vangnah, lungmingnah neh cueihnah he a khuiah Pathen kah cueihnah bangla tueng ta. Na pa manghai Nebukhadnezzar loh anih te na pa manghai kah hmayuep, rhaitonghma, Khalden neh aisi aka suep kah boei la a khueh ta.
12 because that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of enigmas, and loosing of knots was found in him, in Daniel, whose name the king made Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and the interpretation he doth show.'
Te kong dongah tah a mueihla lang tih mingnah, lungmingnah neh mang a thuicaih. Olkael aka phoe tih rhuhcong aka hlam khaw amah la Daniel dongah tueng coeng. Anih te manghai loh a ming Belteshazzar la a khueh tih Daniel la aka coeng he khue lamtah a thuingaihnah a thui bitni,” a ti nah.
13 Then Daniel hath been caused to come up before the king; answered hath the king, and said to Daniel, 'Thou art that Daniel who [art] of the sons of the Removed of Judah, whom the king my father brought in out of Judah?
Te dongah Daniel te manghai taengla a khuen tih manghai loh a voek. Te vaengah Daniel te, “Judah hlangsol ca lamkah Daniel he nang namah dae a? A pa manghai loh Judah lamkah a khuen te.
14 And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods [is] in thee, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been found in thee.
Nang kawng he na khuiah Pathen mueihla om tih vangnah, lungmingnah, cueihnah loh na khuiah bahoeng tueng coeng tila ka yaak coeng.
15 'And now, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that this writing they may read, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to shew the interpretation of the thing:
Ka taengah cadaek he tae uh saeh lamtah a thuingaihnah te kai hamla thuicaih saeh tila hlang cueih la rhaitonghma khaw hang khuen uh coeng dae ol kah thuingaihnah te thui hamla a noeng uh moenih.
16 and I — I have heard of thee, that thou art able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, lo — thou art able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know — purple thou dost put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on thy neck, and third in the kingdom thou dost rule.'
Nang namah tah thuingaihnah thuicaih ham neh rhuhcong pataeng hlam ham na noeng rhoe na noeng tila ka yaak coeng. Cadaek te tae ham neh a thuingaihnah te kai taengah thuicaih ham na noeng la na noeng atah daidi hni na bai vetih a oi pataeng sui oi ni na rhawn ah na oi eh. Te phoeiah ram khuiah a pathum nah la na boei ni,” a ti nah.
17 Then hath Daniel answered and said before the king, 'Thy gifts be to thyself, and thy fee to another give; nevertheless, the writing I do read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know;
Te dongah Daniel loh manghai te a doo tih, “Na kutdoe he namah ham om saeh lamtah na thapang te a tloe taengah pae mai. Tedae cadaek te manghai hamla kan tae vetih a thuingaihnah kan thuicaih bitni.
18 thou, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour, gave to Nebuchadnezzar thy father:
Manghai nang, namah he a sangkoek kah sangkoek Pathen loh ram neh lennah khaw, thangpomnah neh hinyahnah khaw na pa Nebukhadnezzar taengah a paek.
19 and because of the greatness that He gave to him, all peoples, nations, and languages were trembling and fearing before him: whom he willed he was slaying, and whom he willed he was keeping alive, and whom he willed he was raising up, and whom he willed he was making low;
Anih te lennah a paek dongah namtu pilnam cungkuem neh olcom olcae aka om rhoek loh thuen la thuen uh tih a taengah birhih uh. A ngaih a om te om bangla a ngawn tih a ngaih a om te a om bangla a hing sak. A ngaih a om te a om bangla a pacuet tih a ngaih a om te a om bangla a kunyun sak.
20 and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he hath been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away from him,
Tedae a thinko te a pacuet tih altha hamla a mueihla a phuel dongah a ram kah ngolkhoel lamloh rhum tih a thangpomnah te anih lamloh a khoe pauh.
21 and from the sons of men he is driven, and his heart with the beasts hath been like, and with the wild asses [is] his dwelling; the herb like oxen they cause him to eat, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, till that he hath known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He willeth He raiseth up over it.
Te phoeiah hlang ca rhoek taeng lamloh a vai tih a thinko te rhamsa la a khueh pah. A khosaknah khaw marhang lueng neh om tih vaito bangla rham a cah uh. Hlang kah ram soah a sangkoek kah a sangkoek Pathen loh a hung tih a ngaih taengah te te a pai sak tila a ming hil a pum te vaan kah buem neh a saep sak.
22 'And thou, his son, Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though all this thou hast known;
He kong he boeih na ming lalah a capa Belshazzar nang khaw na thinko na kunyun sak moenih.
23 and against the Lord of the heavens thou hast lifted up thyself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before thee, and thou, and thy great men, thy wives, and thy concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, thou hast praised: and the God in whose hand [is] thy breath, and all thy ways, Him thou hast not honoured.
Vaan kah Boeipa taengah lat a pacuet uh tih a im kah hnopai te namah taengla hang khuen uh. Namah neh na boei rhoek long khaw, na boei rhoek neh na yuu rhoek long khaw, na yula rhoek long khaw te nen te misurtui a ok uh. Te phoeiah cak, sui, rhohum, thi, thing neh lungto pathen, aka hmu thai pawh, aka ya thai pawh, aka ming thai pawt te na koeh uh. Pathen amah kut ah na maal om tih na longpuei boeih he amah taengah om dae na hinyah moenih.
24 'Then from before Him sent is the extremity of the hand, and the writing is noted down;
Te dongah ni amah taeng lamloh kut dongkah kutbom te a tueih pah tih cadaek he a daek pah.
25 and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
Te cadaek te, “Mene, Mene, Tekel neh Uparsin,” la a daek.
26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered — God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
Mene ollung kah a thuingaihnah he tah Pathen loh na ram he a khueh dae a khah coeng.
27 Weighed — Thou art weighed in the balances, and hast been found lacking.
Tekel tah coi dongah n'khiing dae a vawt m'hmuh.
28 Divided — Divided is thy kingdom, and it hath been given to the Medes and Persians.'
Peres, na ram rhek tih Media neh Persia taengah a paek,” a ti nah.
29 Then hath Belshazzar said, and they have clothed Daniel with purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and they have proclaimed concerning him that he is the third ruler in the kingdom.
Te dongah Belshazzar loh a thui bangla Daniel te daidi a bai sakuh. A oi khaw sui oi te a rhawn ah a oi sak. Anih te a ram ah a pathum nah aka hung la om ham a hoe uh.
30 In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
Amah te khoyin ah Belshazzar manghai te Khalden loh a ngawn.
31 and Darius the Mede hath received the kingdom, when a son of sixty and two years.
Te dongah Median kah Media Darius he kum sawmrhuk kum nit a lo ca vaengah ram a dang.
