Daniel 5
1 Ruoth Belshazar noloso nyasi maduongʼ ne jodonge alufu achiel kendo nomadho kodgi divai.
Belshazzar the king, made a great feast, to a thousand of his nobles, —and, before the thousand, was drinking, 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, gave word, at the flavour of the wine, to bring the vessels of gold and silver, which Nebuchadnezzar his father, had brought forth, out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, —that the king and his nobles, 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 brought they the vessels of gold which had been taken out of the temple of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and the king and his nobles, his wives and, his concubines, drank therein:
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 silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone.
5 Lwet dhano nothinyore mondiko e kor ot apoya nono, but kama ichunge taya ei od ruoth. Ruoth noneno lwedono kandiko.
Immediately, came forth the fingers of the hand of a man, and wrote, over against the chandelier, upon the plaster of the wall of the palace of the king, —and, the king, saw the part of the hand which was writing,
6 Lela wangʼ ruoth nojowore, kendo nobwok matek, mi chongene notuomore, kendo fuond embene nonyosore.
Then, as for the king, his bright looks, changed in him, and, his thoughts, terrified him, —and, the joints of his loins, were loosed, and, his knees, smote, one against 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.”
The king began crying out again, to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans and the astrologers, —the king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever it is that shall read this writing, and, the interpretation thereof, shall declare unto me, with purple, shall he be clothed, and have a chain of gold upon his neck, and, as the third in the kingdom, shall he have dominion.
8 Eka jomariek duto mag ruoth nodonjo e ot, to ne ok ginyal somo ndikono kata nyiso ruoth tiende.
Then were coming in all the wise men of the king, —but, the writing, could they not read, nor, the interpretation, make known to the king.
9 Kuom mano Ruoth Belshazar nomedo bedo maluor, kendo lela wangʼe nomedo jowore, kendo jodonge nodhier nono.
Then, King Belshazzar, was greatly terrified, and, his bright looks, were changed upon him, —and, his nobles, were perplexed.
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!
The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, into the house of banqueting, entered, —the queen spake and said, O king! for ages, live! Let not thy thoughts, terrify thee, and, as for thy bright looks, let them not 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 intelligence, and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him, —and, King Nebuchadnezzar thy father, appointed him, chief of the sacred 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, a distinguished spirit, and knowledge and intelligence, ability to interpret dreams and solve riddles and unravel knotty points, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let, Daniel, be called, and, the interpretation, will he declare.
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, —the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art, thou, that Daniel, that is of the sons of the exile 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.
Then, I have heard concerning thee, that, the spirit of the gods, is in thee, —and, light and intelligence and distinguished 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.
Now, therefore, have been brought in before me, the wise men, the magicians, that, this writing, they might read, and, the interpretation thereof, might make known unto me, —but they were not able, the interpretation of the thing, to declare.
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.
I, however, have heard concerning thee, that thou art able, interpretations, to unfold, and, knotty points, to unravel, —Now, if thou be able, the writing, to read, and, the interpretation thereof, to make known unto me, with purple, shalt thou be clothed, and, a chain of gold, shalt thou have upon thy neck, and, as the third in the kingdom, shalt thou have dominion.
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 spake Daniel, and said before the king, As for thy gifts, thine own let them remain, and, thy presents, on another, bestow, —howbeit, the writing, will I read to the king, and, the interpretation thereof, will I make known to him.
18 “Ruoth, ma en Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo noketo Nebukadneza wuonu e loch kendo nomiye teko, duongʼ kod huma.
As for thee, O king, the Most High God, gave, kingship and greatness and honour and majesty, 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, for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, races and tongues, used to tremble and to withdraw falteringly from before him, —Whom he would, he slew, and, whom he would, he kept alive, and, 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 uplifted was his heart and, his spirit, became obstinate so as to act arrogantly, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and, his dignity, took they 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 among the sons of men, was he driven, and, his heart, to a wild beast’s, became equal, and, with the wild asses, was his dwelling, and, grass—like oxen, they suffered him to eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, his body, was drenched—until that he came to know that the Most High God, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, whomsoever he pleaseth, he setteth up over it.
22 “To in wuode, yaye Belshazar, pok ibolori, kata obedo ni ne ingʼeyo wechegi duto.
And yet, thou, his son, O Belshazzar! hast not humbled thy heart, though, all this, thou knewest;
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 the heavens, hast uplifted thyself, and, the vessels of his house, have they brought before thee, and, thou, and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have been drinking, wine, therein, and, gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which see not nor hear nor know, hast thou praised, —whereas, God, in whose hand thy breath is and whose are all thy ways, him, hast thou not glorified.
24 Mano emomiyo Nyasaye nooro lwedo mondo ondik wechego.
Then was there put forth from before him the part of the hand, —and, this writing, was inscribed:
25 “Ma e gima nondiki: mene, mene, tekel, parsin.
And this is the writing which was inscribed, M’ne, M’ne, T’kel, u-Pharsin.
26 “Ma e tiend wechegi, moro ka moro: “Mene: Nyasaye osekwano ndaloni mag loch kendo osekele e gikone.
This, is the interpretation of the thing, —M’ne ["Reckoned-up"], God hath reckoned up thy reign, and ended it:
27 “Tekel: Osepimi e ratil moyudi ni irem.
T’kel, —thou art weighed ["Weighed"] in the balances, and found wanting;
28 “Parsin: Pinyruodhi osepogi kendo osemiye jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia.”
P’res ["Snatched-away"], —snatched away is thy kingdom, 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, gave word, that they should clothe Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold upon his neck, —and should make a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler over the kingdom.
30 Gotienono Belshazar ruodh jo-Babulon nonegi,
In that night, was slain—Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans.
31 kendo Darius ja-Media nokawo loch mar piny ka en ja-higni piero auchiel gariyo.
And, Darius the Mede, received the kingdom, —when about sixty-two years of age.
