< Daniel 5 >

1 Belshazzar siangpahrang mah angmah ih angraeng sangto hanah kalen parai buh raenghaih to sak pae moe, angraengnawk hoi nawnto misurtui to a naek.
Belshazzar the king has made a great feast to one thousand of his great men, and before the one thousand he is drinking wine;
2 Belsahazzar mah misurtui pataeng pacoengah, angmah ih angraeng kalennawk, a zunawk, a zulanawk hoi nawnto misurtui a naek hanah, ampa Nebuchadnezzar mah Jerusalem tempul thung hoiah lak ih sui, sum kanglung hoi sak ih boengloengnawk to anih khaeah sin pae o hanah lok a paek.
Belshazzar has said—while tasting the wine—to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that the king may drink with them, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines.
3 To pongah nihcae mah Jerusalem Sithaw im tempul thung hoi lak ih sui boengloengnawk to sin pae o; to pacoengah siangpahrang angmah hoi angmah ih angraengnawk, a zunawk hoi zulanawk loe to sui boengloeng hoiah misurtui to naek o.
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 the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines, have drunk with them;
4 Misurtui a naek o moe sui, sum kanglung, sum kamling, sum, thing, thlung hoiah sak ih sithawnawk to pakoeh o.
they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Akra ai ah kami maeto ih banpazung to amtueng moe, siangpahrang imthung hmaithawk paaanghaih taeng ih tapang nuiah ca to tarik; to tiah ca tarik banpazung to siangpahrang mah hnuk.
In that hour fingers of a man’s hand have come forth, and they are writing in front of the lampstand, on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is writing;
6 Siangpahrang loe zit loiah mikhmai set, anih kaenghuh to amkhraeng pae ving moe, a khokkhu doeh thazok pae sut.
then the king’s countenance has changed, and his thoughts trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are striking against one another.
7 To naah siangpahrang mah cakaeh khet kop kaminawk, Khaldian kaminawk hoi lungh aat thaih kaminawk to angmah khaeah kawk. Babylon prae ih palungha kaminawk khaeah, Mi kawbaktih doeh hae tarik ih ca kroek thaih moe, a thuih koehhaih leh thaih kami loe rong kamling khukbuen hoiah kam thoepsak han, tahnong ah sui bungmu ka oihsak moe, siangpahrang ukhaih prae thungah kasang koek thumto haih ukkung ah ka suek han, tiah a naa.
The king calls mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king has answered and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, “Any man who reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, he puts on purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and he rules third in the kingdom.”
8 To naah siangpahrang ih palungha kaminawk boih angzoh o; toe tarik ih ca to kroek pae o thai ai moe, a thuih koehhaih doeh siangpahrang han leh pae o thai ai.
Then all the wise men of the king are coming up, and they are not able to read the writing, and to make known the interpretation to the king;
9 Belshazzar siangpahrang loe mawnh loiah mikhmai set moe, angam sut, anih ih toksah angraengnawk doeh dawnrai o sut boeh.
then King Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
10 Siangpahrang zu mah siangpahrang hoi anih ih toksah angraengnawk ih lok to thaih naah, buhcaakhaih imthung ah a caeh; siangpahrang zu mah anih khaeah, Aw siangpahrang, na hinglung sawk nasoe; mawn khing hmah loe, na mikhmai doeh saesak hmah!
The queen, on account of the words of the king and his great men, has come up to the banquet-house. The queen has answered and said, “O king, live for all ages; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor your countenance be changed:
11 Na prae thungah kaciim sithawnawk ih muithla katawn kami maeto oh; nam pa hing naah doeh, kami nuiah sithaw palunghahaih baktiah palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih to amtueng boeh; nam pa, siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar, nam pa siangpahrang mah, anih to miklet kop kaminawk, cakaeh khet kop kaminawk, lungh aat thaih kaminawk hoi khaldian kaminawk ukkung ah a suek;
there is a man in your kingdom in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and in the days of your father, light, and understanding, and wisdom—as the wisdom of the gods—was found in him; and your father King Nebuchadnezzar, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him—your father, O king—
12 siangpahrang mah Belteshazzar, tiah ahmin phui ih Daniel loe poekhaih palungthin, panoekhaih hoi kasang koek panoek thaihaih tawn kami, amang leh thaihaih, panoek karai hmuennawk pathlaeng kami, palung haenghaihnawk thuicaikung ah oh. Daniel to kawk ah, anih mah a thuih koehhaih to na leh pae tih hmang, tiah a naa.
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 shows.”
13 To pongah Daniel to siangpahrang hma ah caeh o haih. Siangpahrang mah, Nang loe kam pa siangpahrang mah, naeh ih Judah kaminawk thungah kathum Daniel maw? tiah a naa.
Then Daniel has been caused to come up before the king; the king has answered and said to Daniel, “You are that Daniel who [is] of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, whom my father the king brought in out of Judah?
14 Na thungah sithawnawk ih muithla to oh moe, panoek thaihaih hoi kasang koek palunghahaih tawn kami ah na oh, tiah ka thaih.
And I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods [is] in you, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been found in you.
15 Vaihi haeah tarik ih ca hae kroek moe, a thuih koehhaih leh hanah palungha kaminawk hoi cakaeh khet kop kaminawk, ka hma ah angzoh o haih; toe nihcae mah a thuih koehhaih to na leh pae o thai ai:
And now, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that they may read this writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to show the interpretation of the thing:
16 nang mah loe a thuih koehhaih leh thaih moe, karai parai hmuennawk doeh pathlaeng thaih, tiah ka thaih; tarik ih ca hae na kroek thaih moe, a thuih koehhaih nang leh pae thaih nahaeloe, rong kamling khukbuen to kang khuksak han, sui bungmu kang oihsak moe, siangpahrang ukhaih prae thungah kasang koek thumto haih ukkung ah kang ohsak han, tiah a naa.
and I have heard of you, that you are able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, behold—you are able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know—purple you put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on your neck, and you rule third in the kingdom.”
17 To naah Daniel mah siangpahrang khaeah, Tangqumnawk loe nangmah hanah suem ah, to tih ai boeh loe minawk kalah han paek halat ah; toe tarik ih ca loe siangpahrang hanah kang kroek pae moe, a thuih koehhaih doeh kang leh pae han, tiah a naa.
Then Daniel has answered and said before the king, “Your gifts be to yourself, and give your fee to another; nevertheless, the writing I read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know;
18 Aw siangpahrang, Kasang koek Sithaw mah, lensawkhaih, thacakhaih hoi pakoehhaih to nam pa Nebuchadnezzar khaeah paek.
you, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor, gave to your father Nebuchadnezzar:
19 Lensawk thacakhaih anih hanah paek pongah, kaminawk boih, prae kaminawk, lok congca apae kaminawk loe anih hma ah tasoeh takuenhaih, zithaih hoiah oh o. Siangpahrang loe hum han koeh ih kami to a hum; hingsak han koeh ih kami to a hingsak; ahmuen kasang ah suek han koeh ih kami to a suek; atlim ah pakhrak han koeh ih kami to pakhrak.
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;
20 Toe poekhaih to sang moe, amoekhaih hoiah palung amtaak naah loe, siangpahrang angdoethaih ahmuen hoiah pakhrak tathuk moe, a lensawkhaih to khring pae ving:
and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he has been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away from him,
21 anih loe kaminawk salak hoiah haek ving ah oh moe, taw ih kasan moi ih palungthin to a paek, anih loe taw ih hrangnawk hoi nawnto khosak; kaminawk ih prae loe kasang koek Sithaw mah uk moe, angmah paek koeh ih kami to a paek, tiah panoek ai karoek to, maitaw baktiah qam to a caaksak, van ih dantui hoiah takpum to a suisak.
and he is driven from the sons of men, and his heart has been like with the beasts, and with the wild donkeys [is] his dwelling; they cause him to eat the herb like oxen, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, until he has known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He wills He raises up over it.
22 Nang loe anih ih capa, Aw Belshazzar, hmuenanwk boih na panoek, toe poekhaih palungthin na pahnaem ai;
And you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though all this you have known;
23 nam oek moe, van Angraeng to misa ah na suek; anih tempul thung ih boengloengnawk to na hma ah na sinsak; to ih boengloengnawk hoiah nangmah hoi nangmah ih angraengnawk, na zunawk hoi na zulanawk anwnto misurtui na naek o; sui, sum kanglung, sum kamling, sum, thing, thlung hoiah sak ih tidoeh thaih kophaih tawn ai, hnu thai ai, panoek thai ai sithawnawk to na pakoeh o. Na hinghaih hoi na caehhaih loklamnawk boih ban hoi patawnkung Sithaw to na pakoeh o ai;
and against the Lord of the heavens you have lifted up yourself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before you, and you, and your great men, your wives, and your concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, you have praised: and the God in whose hand [is] your breath, and all your ways, Him you have not honored.
24 to pongah hae ca tarik hanah, a ban to ang patoeh.
Then from before Him is the extremity of the hand sent, and the writing is noted down;
25 Ca loe MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN, tiah tarik.
and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
26 Hae lok thuih koehhaih loe hae tiah oh: MENE: Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah na ohhaih ni to pakoep moe, boengsak boeh.
This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered—God has numbered your kingdom, and has finished it.
27 TEKEL: nang to coih ang tah naah, na vawt sut boeh.
Weighed—You are weighed in the balances, and have been found lacking.
28 PERES: na ukhaih prae loe koih boeh moe, Median hoi Persia kaminawk khaeah paek ving boeh, tiah a naa.
Divided—Your kingdom is divided, and it has been given to the Medes and Persians.”
29 To pacoeng loe Belshazzar lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, Daniel to rong kamling khukbuen angkhuk o sak, tahnong ah sui bungmu a oih o sak moe, prae thungah kasang koek thumto haih ukkung ah taphong o.
Then Belshazzar has spoken, 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.
30 To na ni aqum ah Babylon kaminawk ih siangpahrang, Belshazzar to hum o.
In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
31 Saning qui taruk, hnetto phak naah, Median kami Darius mah siangpahrang ih prae to lak pae ving.
and Darius the Mede has received the kingdom when a son of sixty-two years.
