< Daniel 5 >

1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his nobles, and drank wine before the thousand.
Kum sotthim jouvin, Belshazzar lengpa’n agamsung’a milen milal ho sangkhat toh, golvah loupitah khat abol in, chuleh amaho chutoh ju adonkhomuvin ahi.
2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.
Belshezzar chun ju adon pum’in, apa Nebuchadnezzar in, Jerusalem Hou-in sunga kon’a anapohdoh sana leh dangka khon ho chu ju donna a man dingin thu apetai. Hiche khon ho chu, ajite leh athaikem ho chuleh milen milal hotoh ju donna-a nei ding ati ahi.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
Chu in Jerusalem Pathen Hou-in sung’a kon’a kipodoh sana leh dangka khon ho chu ahin choi doh’un, lengpa leh ajite ho, athaikem ho, chuleh milen milal hon, ju donnan amang tauve.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Hitichun, amahon sana leh dangka khon ho’a chun ju adon’un, chuleh sana, dangka, sum-eng leh thih’a kisemthu doilim pathen ho chu nasatah in avahchoi jeng tauvin ahi.
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Hichepettah chun, amahon, leng inpi sung’a meivah khom tun nakom’abang kiloijol lai achun, mihem khut khat ahung kilah amu uvin, hiche khut jung chun bang’a lekhajem ahin jihtai. Hichu Lengpa ama tah in jong amutan ahi.
6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
Hichun lengpa maiso akikhel deltan, kichat leh tijat in alungsung alodimtan ahi. Atahsa aki thing in chuleh akhup leh akeng ho jong akihot lhu jeng tan ahi.
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Lengpa aping jah jeng in, ai-lhim them ho, ahsi-lekha them ho, vangsan them ho, a-ang sung’a ahin koukhom diuvin thupeh aboltai. Hichun Lengpa’n Babylon miching mithem ho jah’a chun asei tai. “Koi hijong leh, hiche lekha jem kijih hi asimdoh thei aum’a chuleh ipi kiseina ahi phongdoh thei aumleh, Leng inpi kijabolna ponsandup kisilpeh ding chuleh angong’a sana-khivui ki opeh ding ahi. Chuleh ama chu, ka lenggam sung’a vaipoh luboh thum channa-a ka pansah ding ahi” ati.
8 Then came in all the king's wise men, but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
Chuin alenggam sung’a miching mithem ho chu ahungkhom soh tauve. Ahivang in, bang’a kisun lekhajem chu alah’uva khat beh in jong asimthei pouvin, chuleh ipi kiseina ham jong ahedoh thei pouve.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his nobles were confounded.
Chuin Lengpa chu atija lheh jengin, amaiso kikhel leuvin akichatan ahi. Chuleh ama noija milen milal ho jong chu alung dong gamtauvin ahi.
10 — The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet-house. The queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever! let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.
Chuin hiche thilsoh chu, Lengnun ajah doh phat in, amatah lengpa golvah bolna insung’a alheilut loijin, lengpa jah’a aseitai.” Lengpa damsot in! Na lim na maiso kikhel leuvin, tija behseh hih in.
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, like the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, [even] the king thy father, made him master of the scribes, magicians, Chaldeans, [and] astrologers;
Na gamsung’a, Pathen theng lhagaovin achenden mi khat aum nai. Napa, Nebuchadnezzar khang’a jong hiche mipa chung’a hi, lung-mitvahna, thil hetkhenna leh Pathen ho chihna nei ahi, kimudohsa ahi. Hiche jeh’a chu napa Nebuchadnezzar lengpa’n, ama chu Babylon gamsung pumpia mitpheldoi them ho, ai-lhim them ho, ahsi-lekha them ho, chule vangsan them ho jouse chung’a pipu’a anapansah ahi.
12 forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and solving of problems, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
Hiche mipa Daniel tiajong kihe, lengpan Belteshazzar asahpa chu, Pathen’a kon thil suhto themna nasatah nei, thuguh hetdoh theina leh hilchetna chuleh Pathen chihna dimset ahi. Aman mang aledoh theijin, chuleh thuboi hahsa jong asunavah thei jin ahi. Ama chu kouvin, aman bang’a kijih chu ipi ahi asim doh thei ding chuleh aledoh thei ding ahi” ati.
13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
Chuin Daniel chu lengpa angsung’a ahin puilut tauve. Lengpan Daniel jah’a, “Nang hi, kapa Nebuchadnezzar lengpan Judah gam’a kon’a ahin kaimang sohchang ho lah’a khat, Daniel kitipa chu na him?
14 And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and [that] light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
Keiman, nachung’a Pathen theng lhagao achengin, nangman sunggil lungmitvah naneijin, thil hetkhenna chihna dimset naneije tithu kajai.
15 And now the wise men, the magicians, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing.
Ka gam sung’a miching ho leh ailhim them hon, hiche bang’a kijih lekha jem hi asimthei louvu ahi tai. Tun nangin sim inlang, ipi kiseina ham nei seipeh tan.
16 But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and solve problems. Now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Nang in hiche hohi aledoh theina nahen, chuleh thuboi hahsa hojong na sunavah theije tithu kana jai. Hijeh chun, hiche hohi sim inlang, ipi kiseina ham nei ledohpeh in, chutileh nangma leng inpi jabolna ponsandup nakisil peh ding, sana khivui nangong’a naki-opeh ding, chuteng ka lenggam sung’a vaihom sangpen athum na-a napan ding ahi,’’ ati.
17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet will I read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Chuin Daniel in lengpa chu adonbut in, “Kipaman thilpeh napeh ding chu nangman kikoi tan, ahilou leh midang khat pedoh jeng in. Ahin, bang’a kijih hichehi ipi kiseina ham, keiman na seipeh nang’e.
18 O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;
Vo lengpa, napa Nebuchadnezzar lengpa chu, Chungnungpen Pathenin leng achansah a, letna leh loupina chuleh jabolna apeh ahi.
19 and for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he exalted, and whom he would he humbled.
Ama chu Pathen in loupitah’a atun jeh in, chitin namtin’a miho leh pao tintang thoho jouse, a-ang sung’a akithing’un akichalheh jeng’un ahi. Aman atha nom athat in, chuleh ahinghoi nom chu ahinghoiye. Aman ajabol nom ajabolin, chuleh asuhnem nom chu asunem in ahi.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto presumption, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom, and they took his glory from him;
Ahivang in, alungchang leh alungthim’a kiletsahna adim tan, ama akichoi sang phat in, aleng mun’a kon’in akikai lha tan, chuleh aloupina jouse jong aki lahmang peh tai.
21 and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the Most High God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
Chuin ama chu mihem chenna lah’a konin aki delmang in, alungthim jong gamsa lungthim bangin akikhelpeh in, gamlah’a gamsangan hotoh ahingkhom tai. Aman bong bang in hamhing anen, chuleh van’a kon daitwi hunglha chu adouvin, Pathen in leiset’a lenggam jouse chung’a vai ahom in, adei dei leng’a atunji ahi, ti ahetdoh kahsen, gamsa bang in ahing tan ahi.
22 And thou, Belshazzar, his son, hast not humbled thy heart, although thou knewest all this;
Nangma, napa gou-loson achapa nahi, vo Belshazzar, nangin hiche hohi nahet vang'in, nangman kineosahna halcha jong nanei poi.
23 but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of the heavens; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
Nangman kiletsahtah in van Pathen chu nadouvin, Pathen Hou-in’a kon hung kipodoh khon ho chu namong tai. Nangleh na-milen na milal te, najite leh na thaikem hon, hiche khon hochu ju don nan namang uvin, sana, dangka, sum-eng, thih, thing leh songho’a kisem ima hethei lou, khomu lou leh kho jalou semthu pathen ho chu na vahchoi choi jeng’un ahi.
24 then from before him was sent the part of the hand, and this writing hath been written.
Hijeh a chu Pathen a kon’a hiche khut hi hung kilhang doh’a, hiche lekha jem hi ahin jih ahi.
25 And this is the writing that is written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
Hichea lekha jem kijih chu hiche ahi: MENE, MENE, TEKEL chuleh PARSIN
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it;
Chuleh hiche thucheng ho kiledohna chu hiti ahi: MENE kiti hi, Pathen in nalengvaipohna asim tohsa ahi tan, abeina ding nikho hung lhung ahi tai.
27 TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting;
TEKEL kiti hi, nangma thiltena kilepto bang’a, nangma kilepto’a na kitetohsa ahitan, nalhingjou tapoi.
28 PERES, Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
PARSIN kiti hi, na lenggam hi kehni kiso’a kihom khen ahitai. Mede mite leh Persia mite kihop peh ahitai.
29 Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and [put] a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Chuin Belshazzar thupeh dungjuiyin, Daniel chu ponsandup asil peh’un, sana khivui angong’a a-opeh’un chuleh ama chu lenggam pumpia vaipo pipu sangpen athumna in aphong doh tauve.
30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
Chuche jan ma ma chun, Babylonte lengpa Belshazzar chu athat tauve.
31 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, [being] about sixty-two years old.
Chuleh Mede mipa Darius chun, akum somgup-le-ni alhin in, hiche lenggam chu akilah tan ahi.
