Daniel 5
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
1Belshazzar manghai loh a boei thawngat hamla boeilen buhkoknah a saii tih thawngkhat mikhmuh ah misurtui a ok.
2Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his consorts and his concubines, might drink therein.
2Belshazzar 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.
3Then 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 lords, his consorts and his concubines, drank in them.
3Te 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.
4They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
4Misurtui a ok uh vaengah sui pathen neh cak, rhohum, thi, thing, lungto te a koeh uh.
5In 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 palm of the hand that wrote.
5Amah 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.
6Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts affrighted him; and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
6Te 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.
7The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon: 'Whosoever shall read this writing, and declare unto me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule as one of three in the kingdom.'
7Manghai 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.
8Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
8Manghai kah hlang cueih boeih te cet tah cet uh dae cadaek te tae tih manghai taengah a thuingaihnah, thuicaih ham noeng uh pawh.
9Then was king Belshazzar greatly affrighted, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
9Te dongah manghai Belshazzar muep let tih a aa yat tih amah neh a boei rhoek khaw a lukil uh.
10Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house; the queen spoke and said: 'O king, live for ever! let not thy thoughts affright thee, nor let thy countenance be changed;
10Manghai 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.
11there 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, the king, I say, thy father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers;
11Na 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.
12forasmuch as a surpassing spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and declaring of riddles, and loosing of knots, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will declare the interpretation.'
12Te 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.
13Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel: 'Art thou Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
13Te 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.
14I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and surpassing wisdom is found in thee.
14Nang kawng he na khuiah Pathen mueihla om tih vangnah, lungmingnah, cueihnah loh na khuiah bahoeng tueng coeng tila ka yaak coeng.
15And now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not declare the interpretation of the thing.
15Ka 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.
16But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and loose knots; 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 rule as one of three in the kingdom.'
16Nang 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.
17Then Daniel answered and said before the king: 'Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
17Te 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.
18O thou king, God Most High gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;
18Manghai nang, namah he a sangkoek kah sangkoek Pathen loh ram neh lennah khaw, thangpomnah neh hinyahnah khaw na pa Nebukhadnezzar taengah a paek.
19and because of the greatness that He gave him, all the 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 raised up, and whom he would he put down.
19Anih 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.
20But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him;
20Tedae 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 pa uh.
21and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that God Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that He setteth up over it whomsoever He will.
21Te 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.
22And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this;
22He kong he boeih na ming lalah a capa Belshazzar nang khaw na thinko na kunyun sak moenih.
23but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy consorts 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;
23Vaan 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.
24then was the palm of the hand sent from before Him, and this writing was inscribed.
24Te dongah ni amah taeng lamloh kut dongkah kutbom te a tueih pah tih cadaek he a daek pah.
25And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN.
25Te cadaek te, “Mene, Mene, Tekel neh Uparsin,” la a daek.
26This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end.
26Mene ollung kah a thuingaihnah he tah Pathen loh na ram he a khueh dae a khah coeng.
27TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
27Tekel tah coi dongah n'khiing dae a vawt m'hmuh.
28PERES, thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.'
28Peres, na ram rhek tih Media neh Persia taengah a paek,” a ti nah.
29Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should rule as one of three in the kingdom.
29Te dongah Belshazzar loh a thui bangla Daniel te daidi a bai sak uh. 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.
30In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.
30Amah te khoyin ah Belshazzar manghai te Khalden loh a ngawn.
31(6-1) And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
31Te dongah Median kah Media Darius he kum sawmrhuk kum nit a lo ca vaengah ram a dang.
