Daniel 7
1 E higa mokwongo mar loch Belshazar ruoth Babulon, Daniel noleko kendo noneno fweny mopogore opogore kane oyudo oyweyo e kitandane. Nondiko lekneno e kitabu.
In the first yeere of Belshazzar King of Babel, Daniel sawe a dreame, and there were visions in his head, vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and declared the summe of the matter.
2 Daniel nowacho niya, “E fwenyna ma naneno gotieno, ne angʼicho, kendo e nyima ne nitie yembe angʼwen mag polo mane yuko nam maduongʼ.
Daniel spake and saide, I sawe in my vision by night, and behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great sea:
3 Ondiegi angʼwen moko malich, ma moro ka moro opogore gi nyawadgi, nowuok koa e nam.
And foure great beastes came vp from the sea one diuers from another.
4 “Ondiek mokwongo ne chalo gi sibuor, kendo bwombene ne chalo gi mag ongo. Kane pod angʼiye to ne aneno ka bwombene olwar piny kendo ondiegino nochungʼ gi tiendene ka dhano, kendo nomiye paro ka mar dhano.
The first was as a lyon, and had eagles wings: I beheld, til the wings thereof were pluckt of, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and set vpon his feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen him.
5 “Bangʼe ne achako aneno ondiek mar ariyo, mane chalo gi dubu. Ondiegino nonindo gibathe kotingʼo ngʼede adek e dhoge kendo ne awinjo dwol moro kanyise ni, ‘Aa malo kendo ichiem nyaka iyiengʼ!’
And beholde, another beast which was the second, was like a beare and stood vpon the one side: and hee had three ribbes in his mouth betweene his teeth, and they saide thus vnto him, Arise and deuoure much flesh.
6 “Bangʼ mano, ne achako aneno ondiek mar adek mane chalo gi kwach. Ne en gi bwombe angʼwen e diengʼeye machalo gi bwombe winyo. Ondiegni ne nigi wiye angʼwen, kendo ne omiye teko mar bedo gi loch.
After this I behelde, and loe, there was an other like a leopard, which had vpon his backe foure wings of a foule: the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen him.
7 “Bangʼ mano, kane pod aleko ne aneno ondiek mar angʼwen. Ne en ondiek manenore malich kendo man-gi teko ma kineno to ibuok malich kendo luoro maki. Ne en gi leke madongo machalo nyinyo; nosiko kochiemo achiema kendo gimoro amora mane odongʼ nonyono piny gi tiendene. En nopogore gi ondiegi adek mokwongo ka bende ne en gi tunge apar.
After this I saw in the visions by night, and beholde, the fourth beast was fearefull and terrible and very strong. It had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue vnder his feete: and it was vnlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten hornes.
8 “Kane oyudo pod aparo kuom tungego, ne aneno tungʼ moro matin kawuok e kind tunge mamokogo; tungʼno nomuko tunge adek mane ni kanyo chon mondo omi odongi. Tungʼni ne nigi wenge machalo gi wenge dhano kod dhok ma wuoyo gi sunga.
As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another litle horne, before whome there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things.
9 “Kane oyudo pod angʼicho, “kombe mag loch ne oketi kanyo Kendo Ngʼat Machon Manyaka nene nobet e kome. Lepe ne tar ka pe, yie wiye ne rachar ka yier rombe. Kom duongʼ mare ne chalo mach maliel kendo tiendene nosiko kotimo mach maliel aliela.
I behelde, till the thrones were set vp, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the heare of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire.
10 Mach nodhuolore e nyime, mana ka aora mamol! Ji gana gi gana ne tiyone; kendo ji tara gi tara nochungʼ e nyime. Bangʼe noel kitepe eka bura nochakore.
A fierie streame yssued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and tenne thousand thousands stoode before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes opened.
11 “Eka namedo winjo weche mag achaya mane wuok e tungʼno, kendo nomedo timo kamano nyaka ondiegno nonegi mi ringre nokethi kendo obol e mach makakni.
Then I behelde, because of the voyce of the presumptuous wordes, which the horne spake: I behelde, euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning fire.
12 Ondiegi mamoko noyudo osetiek lochgi, to makmana nine pod owegi mangima kuom ndalo manok.
As concerning the other beastes, they had taken away their dominion: yet their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season.
13 “Bende ne achako aneno fweny moro gotieno mi aneno ngʼat moro machalo wuod dhano kalor biro e boche polo, kodhi ir Nyasaye Maratego kendo notelne nyaka e nyime.
As I behelde in visions by night, behold, one like the sonne of man came in the cloudes of heauen, and approched vnto the Ancient of dayes, and they brought him before him.
14 Eka nomiye teko gi duongʼ kod loch; kendo ogendini duto gi pinje duto kod jogo duto mawacho dhok mopogore opogore nolame. Lochne en loch mosiko nyaka chiengʼ, kendo pinyruodhe en pinyruoth ma ok nyal tieki ngangʼ.
And he gaue him dominion, and honour, and a kingdome, that all people, nations and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall neuer bee taken away: and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed.
15 “An Daniel, chunya nochandore, kendo fweny mane aneno mopogore opogore nodhiera nono.
I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the middes of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraide.
16 Ne adhi ir achiel kuom joma nochungʼ kanyo mi napenje tiend lek mane aseleko. “Omiyo nonyisa, tiend wechegi kowacho niya,
Therefore I came vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth of all this: so he tolde me, and shewed me the interpretation of these things.
17 ‘Ondiegi angʼwen malichgo gin pinjeruodhi angʼwen mabiro bet e piny e ndalo mabiro.
These great beastes which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth,
18 To jomaler mar Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo ema biro rito pinjego kendo ginibed gi loch nyaka chiengʼ.’
And they shall take the kingdome of the Saintes of the most High, and possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer.
19 “Bangʼ mano ne adwaro ngʼeyo tiend ngech ondiek mar angʼwen, ondiegno nopogore gi ondiegi mamoko kendo nomiyo ji luoro ahinya; ne en gi leke mag chuma kod kogno mag mula kendo nosiko kochiemo achiema kendo onyono gi tiende gimoro amora mane odongʼ piny.
After this, I woulde knowe the trueth of the fourth beast, which was so vnlike to all the others, very fearefull, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse: which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue vnder his feete.
20 Bende nadwaro ngʼeyo kuom tunge apar mane otwi e wiye kendo kuom tungʼ machielo mane owuok bangʼe momuko tunge adek mamokoka; tungʼno ne nigi wenge kendo weche mag sunga ne wuok e dhoge. Tungʼno ne nenore maduongʼ moloyo tunge moko.
Also to know of the tenne hornes that were in his head, and of the other which came vp, before whome three fell, and of the horne that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, whose looke was more stoute then his fellowes.
21 Kane pod amedo ngʼicho to tungʼni notugo lweny gi jomaler mi oloyogi,
I beheld, and the same horne made battel against the Saintes, yea, and preuailed against them,
22 nyaka ne Nyasaye Maratego obiro mongʼado bura kachwako jomaler mar Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, kendo kinde koro nosechopo ma jo-Nyasaye yude loch mar rito piny.
Vntill the Ancient of dayes came, and iudgement was giuen to the Saintes of the most High: and the time approched, that the Saintes possessed the kingdome.
23 “Eka nonyisa niya: ‘Ondiek mar angʼwen en pinyruoth mar angʼwen mabiro bet e piny. Obiro pogore gi pinjeruodhi duto, kendo obiro mako piny duto, monyone kendo otieke chuth.
Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdome in the earth, which shall be vnlike to all the kingdomes, and shall deuoure the whole earth, and shall treade it downe and breake it in pieces.
24 Tunge apar gin ruodhi apar mabiro wuok e pinyruodhni. To bangʼ e ruoth moro biro wuok, mopogore gi mago motelo, kendo enolo adekgo.
And the ten hornes out of this kingdome are tenne Kings that shall rise: and an other shall rise after them, and he shall be vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three Kings,
25 Obiro wuoyo marach kuom Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo kendo obiro sando jo-Nyasaye koloko chike mag lemogi kod sewni mag-gi. Jo-Nyasaye nobed e bwo lochne kuom higni adek gi nus.
And shall speake wordes against the most High, and shall consume the Saintes of the most High, and thinke that he may change times and lawes, and they shalbe giuen into his hand, vntill a time, and times and the deuiding of time.
26 “‘Bangʼ mano bura nongʼadi, mi nomaye lochne duto mondo otieke chuth.
But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende.
27 Eka loch, gi teko kod duongʼ mag pinjeruodhi manie bwo polo noket e lwet jo-Nyasaye, ma gin jo-Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo. Pinyruodhe nobed pinyruoth mochwere, kendo ruodhi duto nolame kendo miye luor.’
And the kingdome, and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen shalbe giue to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and all powers shall serue and obey him.
28 “Mano e giko wechego. An, Daniel, wechego nochando chunya, mi nabuok kuom gik mane aneno, to kata kamano ne ok awachone ngʼato wechego.”
Euen this is the ende of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled mee, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart.
