¹Belsazar kumpipan a toupate laka mi sang khat adingin ankuang thupi tak a bawla, sangkhatte maah uain a dawn hi.

¹Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

²Belsazarin, uain a chep laiin, a pa Nebukadnezzarin Jerusalema om biakin akipana a lak dangkaeng leh dangka tuiumbelsuante honla dingin thu a piaa; huchia kumpipa leh a toupate, a jite leh a meiten huaitea a dawn theihna ding un.

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 wives and his concubines, might drink from them.

³Huchiin Jerusalema om Pathian in, biakin akipana lakkhiak dangkaeng tuiumbelsuante a honla ta uhi; huan kumpipa leh a toupaten, a jite leh a meiten, huaitein a dawnta uh.

³Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of God’s house which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.

⁴Uain a dawn ua, dangkaeng te, dangka, dalsik, sing, leh suang pathiante a phat uh.

⁴They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

⁵Huai dak mahin mihinga khutzungte a hongpai khiaa, kumpipa inpi bang pek tungah khawnvakkoihna toh etdenna takah a gelhtaa; huan kumpipan laigelh khut bangtan hiam a mu ta hi.

⁵In the same hour came forth the fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

⁶Huailaiin kumpipa mel amah ah a lamdanga, a ngaihtuahnaten amah a patausakta hi; huchiin a khut a khea kipta keia, a khukte a kisat tuah nomnom uh.

⁶Then the king’s face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one against another.

⁷Bummite, Kaldai mite leh aisanmite honpi un chiin nakpi takin kumpipa a kikou a. Kumpipan thu a gena, Babulon mipilte kiangah, Kuapeuhmah hiai laigelh sima, a hilhchetna honensak, puansandup silhsak ahi dinga; a ngawng kimvelin dangkaeng khainiang a ok dinga; huan gamsungah vaihawmmi thumna ahi ding, a chi a.

⁷The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

⁸Huchiin kumpipa mi pilte tengteng a honglut ua: himahleh laigelh a sim theikei ua, a hilhchetna leng kumpipa a theisak theikei uhi.

⁸Then came in all the king’s wise men; but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.

⁹Huchiin kumpipa Belsazar a patau mahmaha; amahah a mel a honglamdanga; a toupate a lungjing uhi.

⁹Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.

¹⁰Huchiin kumpipa leh a toupate thu jiakin kumpinu ankuangluina in sungah a hong luta; kumpinun thu a gena, Aw kumpipa, khantawnin hingin; na ngaihtuahnaten patausak kei henla, na mel leng lamdang kei heh:

¹⁰ Now 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 forever; don’t let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.

¹¹Na gamsunga mi khat, amaha pathian siangthoute kha om, a om a; na pu dam laiin vakna leh theihtheihna leh pilna, pathiante pilna bang, amahah muhin a om; huan kumpipa Nebukadnezzar, kumpipa, na pan, ka chi, amah mitkhialdawitawite leh, bummite, Kaldaimite leh aisanmite heutuin a bawla;

¹¹There 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, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar your father, the king, I say, your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

¹²Lungsim hoihpen, theihna, theihtheihna, mangte hilhchetna, thugen haksa etsakna, ginlelhna hihvengna kumpipan Beltesazar min a sakpa, huai Danial mahah muhin a om hi. Tuin Danial kisam sak henla, aman hilhchetna en sak leh, a chi a.

¹²because an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.

¹³Huan Danial kumpipa maah a honpi ua, Kumpipan thu a gena Danial kiangah, Danial na hi hia, huai Juda saltang tate laka, ka pan Juda a kipan a pi?

¹³Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, Are you that Daniel, who are of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?

¹⁴Nangah pathian kha a oma, vakna leh theihtheihna leh pilna hoihpen nanga muhin a om chih na tanchin ka jaa.

¹⁴I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.

¹⁵Huchiin mi pilte, bummite, ka maah a honpi lut ua, hiai laigelh sima, a hilhchetna ka kianga theisak dingin; himahleh huai thil hilhchetna a ensak theikei uhi.

¹⁵Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.

¹⁶Himahleh hilhchetnate na bawl theia, ginlelhnate na bawlhoih thei chih, na tanchin ka ja: tuin laigelh na sim theiha, a hilhchetna non hilh theih aleh, puansandup kon silh sak dinga; na ngawng kimvelin dangkaeng na ok dinga; gamsungah vaihawmmi thumna na hi ding hi, a chi a.

¹⁶But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations, and dissolve doubts; now if you can read the writing, and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

¹⁷Huchiin Danialin a dawnga kumpipa maah, Na thilpiakte nangmah kiangah hi jaw henla, na kipahmante midang kiangah pe jawin; ahi-alah kumpipa kiangah laigelh ka sim dinga, a hilhchetna amah ka theisak ding.

¹⁷Then Daniel answered before the king, Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

¹⁸Aw nang kumpipa, Tungnungpen Pathianin na pa Nebukadnezzar gam leh, thupina leh letna leh lalna a piaa:

¹⁸You, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:

¹⁹Huan huai amah a piak letna jiakin mite tengteng, namte, paute a maah a ling ua a lau uh: a ut a that a, a ut a hing hawi; a ut a kai thoua, a ut a sawm niam hi.

¹⁹and because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he killed, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.

²⁰Himahleh a lungtang a kisaktheih laiin leh kiuangsak taka gamtaa a lungsim hihsaka a om laiin, a kumpi laltutphah akipan suanin a oma, amah akipan a thupina a la kheta uh.

²⁰But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

²¹Huan mite tapate akipana bawlkhiakin a om a; huchiin a lungtang sate banga bawlin a om a; bawngtalte banga loupa a vakin a oma, a pumpi van daituiin a kawta; Tungnungpen Pathianin mite gamah vai vai a hawma, a utut a tungah a dingkhesak chih a hontheih matan.

²¹and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.

²²Huan nang a tapa, Aw Belsazar, na lungtang na niamkhiak nai keia, hiai tengteng na theihin leng.

²²You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,

²³Himahleh van TOUPA demin na kihihsanga; huan amau na maah A ina tuiumbelsuante a honla ua; huan nang leh na toupate, na jite leh na meiten, huaitein uain na dawn uh; dangka, leh dangkaeng, dal, sik, sing leh suang pathiante, mu theilou, za theilou, thei theilou-te na phata; huan Pathian a khuta na hatna a omna, na lampite tengteng amaha hi, na thupibawlta kei hi.

²³but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.

²⁴Huchiin amaha kipan huai khut banghiam tan sawlin a hongoma, hiai laigelh gelhin a omta hi.

²⁴Then was the part of the hand sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.

²⁵Huan gelha om laigelh hiai ahi, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

²⁵This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

²⁶Huai thil hilhchetna hiai ahi: MENE: Pathianin na gam a simta, a bei sakta hi;

²⁶This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God has numbered your kingdom, and brought it to an end;

²⁷TEKEL; buknaa bukin na oma, na chingzou kei hi;

²⁷TEKEL; you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.

²⁸PERES; na gam hawmin a oma, Mid mite leh Perisia mite kiangah piak a hita hi, a chi a.

²⁸PERES; your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

²⁹Huchiin Belsazarin thu a piaa, huan dangkaeng khainiang a ngawng kimvelin a oksak ua; amah tungah thu a phuang ua, gamsunga vaihawmmi a thumna hi dingin.

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 be the third ruler in the kingdom.

³⁰Huaijanin Kaldai kumpipa Belsazar thahin a oma.Huan Mid mi Dariain gam a tanga; kum sawmguk leh niha upa ahi.

³⁰In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.

³¹Huan Mid mi Dariain gam a tanga; kum sawmguk leh niha upa ahi.

³¹Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
