Daniel 5
1 Ruoth Belshazar noloso nyasi maduongʼ ne jodonge alufu achiel kendo nomadho kodgi divai.
Belshazzar, the king gave a great feast to his thousands lords, and drank 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.
Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple at Jerusalem; that the king and his princes, his wives and his concubines, might drink therein.
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 the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his princes, his wives and his concubines, drank in 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, of brass, 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.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the chandelier upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace; and the king saw the hand that wrote.
6 Lela wangʼ ruoth nojowore, kendo nobwok matek, mi chongene notuomore, kendo fuond embene nonyosore.
Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosened, and his knees smote 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 cried aloud to bring in the magicians, the Chaldaeans, and the astrologers. And the king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof, 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 all the king's wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king its signification.
9 Kuom mano Ruoth Belshazar nomedo bedo maluor, kendo lela wangʼe nomedo jowore, kendo jodonge nodhier nono.
Then was King Belshazzar in great consternation, and his countenance was changed, and his lords were amazed.
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, on account of this affair of the king and his lords, came into the banquet-house; and the queen spake and said, O king, live forever! Let not thy thoughts terrify thee, nor let thy 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 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, were found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar, thy father, made him chief of the scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers, 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 an excellent spirit and knowledge and understanding to interpret dreams, and to explain hard sentences, and solve difficult questions were found in him, in Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar; now let Daniel be called, and he will show 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. And the king spake and said to Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, of the captives of Judah, whom the king, my father, brought out of Judaea?
14 Asewinjo ni chuny mar nyiseche maler ni kuomi, kendo ni in gi rieko matut, ngʼeyo kod rieko mokalo apima.
I have heard concerning thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent 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 and the magicians have been brought in before me, that they might read this writing, and make known to me its signification; but they could not show the signification of the thing.
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 heard of thee that thou canst give interpretations, and solve difficult questions. Now if thou canst read the writing and make known to me its signification, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have 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 be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another: yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the signification.
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 Nebuchadnezzar, thy father, a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honor.
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 him, all people, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him; whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; whom he would he set up, and whom he would he put down.
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 in pride, he was thrust down from his kingly throne, and his glory 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 from the sons of men; and his heart became like the beasts, and his dwelling was with wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the Most High God ruled in the kingdoms of men, and set up over them whomsoever he would.
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 hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven; and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, 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 is thy breath, and whose are all thy ways, thou hast not honored.
24 Mano emomiyo Nyasaye nooro lwedo mondo ondik wechego.
Then was sent from him the hand, and this writing was written.
25 “Ma e gima nondiki: mene, mene, tekel, parsin.
And this is the writing which was written: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and To be Divided.
26 “Ma e tiend wechegi, moro ka moro: “Mene: Nyasaye osekwano ndaloni mag loch kendo osekele e gikone.
And this is the interpretation of it. Numbered: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and made an end of it.
27 “Tekel: Osepimi e ratil moyudi ni irem.
Weighed: Thou art weighed in the balances, and found wanting.
28 “Parsin: Pinyruodhi osepogi kendo osemiye jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia.”
Divided: Thy 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 Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be third ruler in the kingdom.
30 Gotienono Belshazar ruodh jo-Babulon nonegi,
In the same night was Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, slain;
31 kendo Darius ja-Media nokawo loch mar piny ka en ja-higni piero auchiel gariyo.
and Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
