Daniel 1
1 In the thirde yeere of the reigne of Iehoiakim king of Iudah, came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel vnto Ierusalem and besieged it.
Judah manghai Jehoiakim kah a ram, a kum thum vaengah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar te cet tih Jerusalem te a taengah a dum.
2 And ye Lord gaue Iehoiakim king of Iudah into his hand; with parte of the vessels of the house of God, which he caryed into the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into his gods treasurie.
Te vaengah ka Boeipa loh Judah manghai Jehoiakim neh Pathen im kah hnopai ca te Nebukhanezar kut ah a paek. Te dongah te rhoek te Shinar khohmuen kah a pathen im la a khuen tih hnopai te a pathen kah thakvoh im ah a khueh.
3 And the King spake vnto Ashpenaz the master of his Eunuches, that he shoulde bring certeine of the children of Israel, of the Kings seede, and of the princes:
Te phoeiah manghai loh amah kah imkhoem puei Ashpenaz te Israel ca lamkah neh mangpa tiingan lamkah khaw, angrhaeng rhoek lamkah khaw khuen hamla a thui pah.
4 Children in whome was no blemish, but well fauoured, and instruct in all wisedome, and well seene in knowledge, and able to vtter knowledge, and such as were able to stande in the kings palace, and whome they might teach the learning, and the tongue of the Caldeans.
Te vaengah a taengah a lolhmaih pakhat khaw aka om pawh camoe rhoek neh a mueimae aka then, cueihnah cungkuem neh aka cangbam, mingnah aka ming, cangnah aka yakming neh amih taengah thadueng aka om tah manghai bawkim ah om ham neh amih te Khalden ca neh ol tukkil hamla a khueh.
5 And the King appointed them prouision euery day of a portion of the Kings meate, and and of the wine, which he dranke, so nourishing them three yeere, that at the ende thereof, they might stande before the King.
Manghai loh amih ham tah a hnin hnin ah a hmuethma a khueh pah. Manghai buh neh a buhkoknah misurtui paek tih kum thum khuiah amih te pantai sak ham, a tloihsoi ah manghai mikhmuh ah pai sak ha a uen.
6 Nowe among these were certeine of the children of Iudah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
Amih lakli ah Judah koca lamkah Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael neh Azariah om.
7 Vnto whome the chiefe of the Eunuches gaue other names: for hee called Daniel, Belteshazzar, and Hananiah, Shadrach, and Mishael, Meshach, and Azariah, Abednego.
Amih te imkhoem mangpa loh ming a paek tih Daniel te Belteshazzar la, Hananiah te Shadrakh la, Mishael te Meshakh la, Azariah te Abednego la a khueh pah.
8 But Daniel had determined in his heart, that hee woulde not defile him selfe with the portion of the Kings meate, nor with the wine which he dranke: therefore he required the chiefe of the Eunuches that he might not defile himselfe.
Tedae Daniel long tah manghai buh neh, a buhkoknah misurtui neh a nok uh pawt ham a lungbuei ah a khueh. Te dongah a nok pawt ham imkhoem mangpa te a dawt.
9 (Nowe God had brought Daniel into fauour, and tender loue with the chiefe of the Eunuches)
Pathen loh Daniel te imkhoem mangpa mikhmuh ah sitlohnah neh haidamnaha paek rhoe a paek.
10 And the chiefe of the Eunuches sayd vnto Daniel, I feare my lord the King, who hath appointed your meate and your drinke: therefore if he see your faces worse liking then the other children, which are of your sort, then shall you make me lose mine head vnto the King.
Tedae imkhoem mangpa loh Daniel te, “Kai khaw ka boei manghai te ka rhih ta. Anih long ni na caak na buhkoknah he hang khueh. Camoe kah na omngaihnah lakah balae tih na maelhmai te hmai aka tal la a hmuh eh? Ka lu he manghai taengah nan mop coeng,” a ti nah.
11 Then sayd Daniel to Melzar, whome the chiefe of the Eunuches had set ouer Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Te vaengah Daniel loh buhtaem, Anih te Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael neh Azariah soah imkhoem mangpa la a khueh taengah,
12 Proue thy seruants, I beseeche thee, ten dayes, and let them giue vs pulse to eate, and water to drinke.
“Na sal rhoek he hnin rha khuiah n'noemcai mai lamtah ankak mah kaimih m'pae mai saeh. Ka caak uh khaw tui neh ka yun uh eh.
13 Then let our countenances bee looked vpon before thee, and the countenances of the children that eate of the portion of the Kings meate: and as thou seest, deale with thy seruantes.
Te phoeiah kaimih kah mueimae neh manghai buh aka ca camoe rhoek kah mueimae te namah mikhmuh ah tueng saeh. Te vaengkah na hmuh bangla na sal rhoek taengah saii,” a ti nah.
14 So hee consented to them in this matter, an proued them ten dayes.
Te dongah hekah ol bangla amih te a rhoi tih hnin rha khuiah amih te a noem.
15 And at the end of ten dayes, their countenances appeared fayrer, and in better liking then all the childrens, which did eate the portion of the Kings meate.
Hnin rha a thoknah dongah amih kah mueimae te a then la a sawt. Te vaengah manghai buh aka ca camoe boeih lakah a pumsa toitup.
16 Thus Melzar tooke away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drinke, and gaue them pulse.
Te dongah buhtaem loh amih kah buh neh a buhkoknah misur te a puen tih amih te ankak a paek.
17 As for these foure children, God gaue them knowledge, and vnderstanding in al learning and wisedome: also he gaue Daniel vnderstanding of all visions and dreames.
Tedae amih pali, camoe rhoek tah Pathen loh a taengah cangnah dongah cabu neh cueihnah boeih te cangbam hamla a paek. Te dongah Daniel loh mangthui neh mueimang te boeih a yakming.
18 Nowe when the time was expired, that the King had appoynted to bring them in, the chiefe of the Eunuches brought them before Nebuchad-nezzar.
Khohnin kuepnah a pha vaengah amih khuen hamla manghai loh a thui pah tih amih imkhoem mangpa loh Nebukhanezar mikhmuh ah a khuen.
19 And the King communed with them: and among them al was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stoode they before the king.
Manghai te amih taengah a voek vaengah Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael neh Azariah bang he amih boeih khui lamloh hmu pawh. Te dongah amih tah manghai mikhmuh ah pai uh.
20 And in all matters of wisedome, and vnderstanding that the King enquired of them, hee founde them tenne times better then all the inchanters and astrologians, that were in all his realme.
Olka cungkuem dongah cueihnah neh yakmingnah amih lamkah te manghai loh a cae vaengah amih tah a ram pum kah khungvatuk neh hmayuep boeih lakah a kut parha la a hmuh.
21 And Daniel was vnto the first yeere of king Cyrus.
Daniel tah manghai Cyrus kah a kum khat nah hil om.
