Daniel 5
1 Ruoth Belshazar noloso nyasi maduongʼ ne jodonge alufu achiel kendo nomadho kodgi divai.
King Belshazzar prepared a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and before these thousand did he drink wine.
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.
Belshazzar ordered, through the counsel of the wine, to bring in the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken away out of the temple which was in Jerusalem: that the king, and his lords, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therefrom.
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.
Then they brought in the golden vessels that were taken away out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his lords, his wives, and his concubines, drank from 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 their gods of gold, and of silver, of copper, of iron, 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.
At that same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote opposite to the chandelier upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Lela wangʼ ruoth nojowore, kendo nobwok matek, mi chongene notuomore, kendo fuond embene nonyosore.
Then was the king's color changed, and his thoughts troubled him: so that the bands of his loins were loosed, and his knees knocked one against the other.
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.”
the king called with might to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king commenced, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whatsoever man will read this writing, and tell me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule as the third in the 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 wise men of the king; but they were not able to read the writing, nor to make its interpretation known to the king.
9 Kuom mano Ruoth Belshazar nomedo bedo maluor, kendo lela wangʼe nomedo jowore, kendo jodonge nodhier nono.
Then was king Belshazzar greatly terrified, and his color was changed on him, and his lords were confounded.
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!
[Now] the queen in consequence of the words of the king and of his lords came into the banquet-house; the queen commenced and said, O king, live for ever; let thy thoughts not trouble thee, nor let thy color 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 thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father enlightenment and intelligence and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him: and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father appointed him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers: —yes, thy father, O king.—
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.
Forasmuch as a superior spirit, and knowledge, and intelligence, interpreting of dreams, and solving of riddles, and of untying knotty [doubts], were found in him, in Daniel, to whom the king assigned the name of Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will tell the interpretation.
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 was Daniel brought in before the king: the king commenced and said unto Daniel, Art thou Daniel, who art of the children of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
14 Asewinjo ni chuny mar nyiseche maler ni kuomi, kendo ni in gi rieko matut, ngʼeyo kod rieko mokalo apima.
And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that enlightenment and intelligence and superior wisdom are found in thee.
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, the astrologers, had been brought before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me its interpretation; but they were not able to tell the interpretation of the matter.
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.
But I have truly heard concerning thee, that thou art able to give interpretations, and untie knotty [doubts]: now if thou art able to read the writing, and make known to me its interpretation, thou shalt be clothed with purple, with a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt rule as the third in the 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.
Then answered Daniel and said before the king, Let thy gifts remain in thy possession, and bestow thy bounty on another: nevertheless will I read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 “Ruoth, ma en Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo noketo Nebukadneza wuonu e loch kendo nomiye teko, duongʼ kod huma.
O thou king! the most high God gave kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father;
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 because of the greatness that he had given unto him, all people, nations, and languages trembled and shook before him: whom he pleased he slew; and whom he pleased he kept alive; and whom he pleased he lifted up; and whom he pleased he brought low.
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 hardened to deal presumptuously, he was cast down from the throne of his kingdom, and his dignity did they take 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 from the sons of men was he driven forth, and his heart became equal with [that of] the beasts, and with the wild asses was his dwelling; they suffered him to eat herbs like oxen, and with the dew of heaven was his body made wet: till he acknowledged that the most high God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he pleaseth.
22 “To in wuode, yaye Belshazar, pok ibolori, kata obedo ni ne ingʼeyo wechegi duto.
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest 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.
But against the Lord of heaven hast thou lifted thyself up; and the vessels of his house have they brought before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them; and the gods of silver, and gold, of copper, iron, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know, hast thou praised; and the God in whose hand thy soul is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
24 Mano emomiyo Nyasaye nooro lwedo mondo ondik wechego.
Thereupon was sent from before him the part of the hand, and this writing was noted down.
25 “Ma e gima nondiki: mene, mene, tekel, parsin.
And this is the writing that was noted down, M'ne, M'ne, T'kel, Upharsin.
26 “Ma e tiend wechegi, moro ka moro: “Mene: Nyasaye osekwano ndaloni mag loch kendo osekele e gikone.
This the interpretation of the matter: M'ne, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and made an end of it.
27 “Tekel: Osepimi e ratil moyudi ni irem.
T'kel, Thou least been weighed in the balances, and been found wanting.
28 “Parsin: Pinyruodhi osepogi kendo osemiye jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia.”
P'ress; Thy kingdom hath been divided, and is 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 gave Belshazzar the order, and they clothed Daniel with purple, with a chain of gold about his neck, and they made a proclamation concerning him, that he should rule as the third in the kingdom.
30 Gotienono Belshazar ruodh jo-Babulon nonegi,
In that very night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 kendo Darius ja-Media nokawo loch mar piny ka en ja-higni piero auchiel gariyo.
And Darius the Median obtained the kingdom, when he was sixty and two years old.
