Daniel 5
1 Ruoth Belshazar noloso nyasi maduongʼ ne jodonge alufu achiel kendo nomadho kodgi divai.
Baltasar the king made a great supper for his thousand nobles, and [there was] wine before the thousand.
2 Kane Belshazar madho divai, nogolo chik mondo okel e nyime tewni mag dhahabu kod mag fedha ma Nebukadneza kwargi nogolo e hekalu mane nitie Jerusalem, mondo ruoth kaachiel gi jodonge gi monde kod jotichne ma nyiri mane oloko monde omethgo.
And Baltasar drinking gave orders as he tasted the wine that they should bring the gold and silver vessels, which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought forth from the temple in Jerusalem; that the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, should drink out of them.
3 Omiyo negikelo tewni mag dhahabu mane ogol e hekalu mar Nyasaye mane ni Jerusalem, kendo ruoth kaachiel gi jodonge gi monde kod jotichne ma nyiri mane oloko monde nometho gi tewnigo.
So the gold and silver vessels were brought which [Nabuchodonosor] had taken out of the temple of God in Jerusalem; and the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, drank out of them.
4 E seche mane gimadho divai, negipako nyiseche mag dhahabu gi fedha gi mula gi nyinyo gi bao kod kidi.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
5 Lwet dhano nothinyore mondiko e kor ot apoya nono, but kama ichunge taya ei od ruoth. Ruoth noneno lwedono kandiko.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote in front of the lamp on the plaster of the wall of the king's house: and the king saw the knuckles of the hand that wrote.
6 Lela wangʼ ruoth nojowore, kendo nobwok matek, mi chongene notuomore, kendo fuond embene nonyosore.
Then the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one another.
7 Ruoth nogolo chik mondo okelne jokor wach, joma riek ma jo-Kaldea kod jo-nyakalondo kendo nowachone jomariek ma Babulon niya, “Ngʼato angʼata mosomo ndikoni kendo onyisa tiende, to ibiro rwakne law maralik kendo ibiro ketne thiwni mar dhahabu e ngʼute, bende ibiro kete jalupna mar adek kuom duongʼ e pinyruoth.”
And the king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers; and he said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation, shall be clothed with scarlet, and [there shall be] a golden chain upon his neck, and he shall be the third ruler in my kingdom.
8 Eka jomariek duto mag ruoth nodonjo e ot, to ne ok ginyal somo ndikono kata nyiso ruoth tiende.
Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known the interpretation to the king.
9 Kuom mano Ruoth Belshazar nomedo bedo maluor, kendo lela wangʼe nomedo jowore, kendo jodonge nodhier nono.
And king Baltasar was troubled, and his countenance changed upon him, and his nobles were troubled with him.
10 Ka jaod ruoth nowinjo dwond ruoth gi jodonge, nobiro ei ot kama ne nyasi timore. Nowacho niya, “Yaye ruoth, dag amingʼa! Chunyi kik chandre! Lela wangʼi owe jowore!
Then the queen came into the banquet house, and said, O king, live for ever: let not your thoughts trouble you, and let not your countenance be changed.
11 Nitie ngʼat moro e pinyruodhi ka ma chuny mar nyiseche maler ni kuome. E kinde mag loch wuonu, noyud ni en gi paro matut, gi ngʼeyo kod rieko machalo gi mago mag nyiseche. Ruoth Nebukadneza ma wuonu, nokete jatelo maduongʼ mar ajuoke, jokor wach, joma riek mag jo-Kaldea kod jo-nyakalondo.”
There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the Spirit of God; and in the days of your father watchfulness and understanding were found in him; and king Nabuchodonosor your father made him chief of the enchanters, magicians, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers.
12 Ngʼat ma nyinge Daniel ni, ma ruoth ne luongo ni Belteshazar, noyud ni nigi rieko, ngʼeyo kod winjo, kaachiel gi nyalo mar loko lekgi, nyiso tiend weche ma tiendgi tek kendo konyo e weche matek machando ji. Luong Daniel, kendo obiro huloni tiend ndikono.
For [there is] an excellent spirit in him, and sense and understanding in him, interpreting dreams [as he does], and answering hard [questions], and solving difficulties: [it is] Daniel, and the king gave him the name of Baltasar: now then let him be called, and he shall tell you the interpretation of the writing.
13 Omiyo nokel Daniel e nyim ruoth, kendo ruoth nopenje niya, In e Daniel ma achiel kuom joma otwe mane wuora ma ruoth okelo koa e piny Juda?
Then Daniel was brought in before the king: and the king said to Daniel, Are you Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judea, which the king my father brought?
14 Asewinjo ni chuny mar nyiseche maler ni kuomi, kendo ni in gi rieko matut, ngʼeyo kod rieko mokalo apima.
I have heard concerning you, that the Spirit of God is in you, and [that] watchfulness and understanding and excellent wisdom have been found in you.
15 Ne osekel joma riek gi jokor wach e nyima mondo gisom ndikoni kendo ginyisa tiende, to ne ok ginyal nyisa tiende.
And now, the wise men, magicians, [and] soothsayers, have come in before me, to read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation: but they could not tell it me.
16 To asewinjo ni in inyalo loko tiend weche mopondo ka ikonyo e weche matek machando ji. Kinyalo somo ndikoni mi inyisa tiende to ibiro rwakni law maralik kendo ibiro ketni thiwni mar dhahabu e ngʼuti, kendo ibiro keti jalupna mar adek kuom duongʼ e pinyruoth.
And I have heard concerning you, that you are able to make interpretations: now then if you shall be able to read the writing, and to make known to me the interpretation of it, you shall be clothed with purple, and there shall be a golden chain upon your neck, and you shall be third ruler in my kingdom.
17 Eka Daniel nodwoko ruoth niya, “Inyalo bedo abeda gi michnigo mondo ikonyrigo iwuon, kendo poknigo bende inyalo anyala miyo ngʼat machielo. Kata kamano, abiro somo ne ruoth ndikoni kendo abiro nyise tiende.
And Daniel said, before the king, Let your gifts be to yourself, and give the present of your house to another; but I will read the writing, and will make known to you the interpretation of it.
18 “Ruoth, ma en Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo noketo Nebukadneza wuonu e loch kendo nomiye teko, duongʼ kod huma.
O king, the most high God gave to your father Nabuchodonosor a kingdom, and majesty, and honor, and glory:
19 Nikech loch kod teko mamalo mane omiye, ogendini duto, gi pinje duto, gi ji mawacho dhok mopogore opogore ne tetni e nyime kendo noluore. Joma ruoth ne dwaro ni onegi, ne onego; to joma ne odwaro ngʼwonone, nongʼwononegi; joma ne odwaro medo teko e loch, nomedo teko; kendo joma nodwaro lonyo e telo, nolonyo alonya.
and by reason of the majesty which he gave to him, all nations, tribes, [and] languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he killed; and whom he would he struck; and whom he would he exalted; and whom he would he abased.
20 To ka nodoko jasunga ma wiye tek, kendo mopongʼ gi achaya, nogole oko e loch kendo omaye duongʼne.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was emboldened to act proudly, he was deposed from his royal throne, and [his] honor was taken from him.
21 Noriembe e dier ji kendo nomiye paro mar kit le bende nodak gi kenje mag thim kendo nochamo lum kaka dhok tho nomiye ngʼich, nyaka noyie ni Nyasaye Mamalo Mogik nigi teko ewi pinjeruodhi mag dhano kendo oketo ngʼato angʼata mohero e wigi.
And he was driven forth from men; and his heart was given him after the nature of wild beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; and they fed him with grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the most high God is Lord of the kingdom of men, and will give it to whoever he shall please.
22 “To in wuode, yaye Belshazar, pok ibolori, kata obedo ni ne ingʼeyo wechegi duto.
And you accordingly, his son, O Baltasar, has not humbled your heart before God: know you not all this?
23 Kar bolori to isetingʼori malo mondo iked gi Ruodh polo. Isegolo chik mi okelni tewni kigolo e hekalu Mare, kendo in, kaachiel gi jodongi gi mondi kod jotichni ma nyiri miloko mondi, usemadho kodgi divai. Ne upako nyiseche mag fedha, gi dhahabu, gi mula, gi nyinyo, gi yien mopa kod kidi, ma ok nyal neno kata winjo kata ngʼeyo tiend gimoro. To Nyasaye motingʼo ngimani e lwete kaachiel gi yoregi duto, to ne idagi miyo luor.
And you has been exalted against the Lord God of heaven; and they have brought before you the vessels of his house, and you, and your nobles, and your mistresses, and your concubines, have drunk wine out of them; and you has praised the gods of gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and wood, and stone, which see not, and which hear not, and know not: and the God in whose hand are your breath, and all your ways has you not glorified.
24 Mano emomiyo Nyasaye nooro lwedo mondo ondik wechego.
Therefore from his presence has been sent forth the knuckle of a hand; and he has ordered the writing.
25 “Ma e gima nondiki: mene, mene, tekel, parsin.
And this is the ordered writing, Mane, Thekel, Phares.
26 “Ma e tiend wechegi, moro ka moro: “Mene: Nyasaye osekwano ndaloni mag loch kendo osekele e gikone.
This is the interpretation of the sentence: Mane; God has measured your kingdom, and finished it.
27 “Tekel: Osepimi e ratil moyudi ni irem.
Thekel; it has been weighed in the balance, and found lacking.
28 “Parsin: Pinyruodhi osepogi kendo osemiye jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia.”
Phares; your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Bangʼ ka Daniel noseloko lekno, Belshazar nogolo chik mondo orwak ne Daniel law maralik, oket ne thiwni mar dhahabu e ngʼute, kendo nokete jalup ruoth mar adek e pinyruoth duto.
Then Baltasar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put the golden chain about his neck, and proclaimed concerning him that he was the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 Gotienono Belshazar ruodh jo-Babulon nonegi,
In the same night was Baltasar the Chaldean king slain.
31 kendo Darius ja-Media nokawo loch mar piny ka en ja-higni piero auchiel gariyo.
And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being sixty-two years [old].
