< Daniel 8 >
1 E higa mar adek mar loch mar ruoth Belshazar, an Daniel, naneno fweny, bangʼ fweny mane aseneno mokwongo.
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, [even unto] me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
2 E fwenynano ne aneno ka an e ohinga mar rito dala mar Susa e gwengʼ mar Elam kendo ka an e bath aora mar Ulai.
And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I [was] at Shushan [in] the palace, which [is] in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
3 Natingʼo wangʼa mi aneno im moro man-gi tunge ariyo, kuchungʼ e bath aora kendo tungene ne boyo. Achiel kuom tungenego ne bor moloyo mano mane otwi achien.
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had [two] horns: and the [two] horns [were] high; but one [was] higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 Naketo wangʼa ka aneno kaka imno ringo kochomo yo podho chiengʼ, gi yo nyandwat kod yo milambo. Onge le moro amora mane nyalo sire, kata mane nyalo resore kuom tekone. Notimo kaka en ema ohero, kendo nodoko rahuma.
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither [was there any] that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
5 Kane oyudo pod aparo tiend wachni, to apoya nono nywok moro man-gi tunge mabitho motwi e kind wengene nobiro koa yo podho chiengʼ kowuotho e piny ngima ma tiendene ok nyon lowo.
And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat [had] a notable horn between his eyes.
6 Nobiro kochomo im man-gi tunge ariyo mane aseneno kochungʼ e bath aora, kendo nochome gi ngʼwech tir ka en gi mirima mager.
And he came to the ram that had [two] horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
7 Nanene komonjo im gi tekre duto, kendo nochwoye momuko tungene duto ariyo. Im ne onge teko ma dimi ochungʼ e nyime kendo nywogno nogoye piny e lowo monyone piny, to onge ngʼama ne nyalo reso im mi gol e tekone.
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Nywogno nomedo bedo gi teko, to kata obedo ni ne en ratego kamano, to tunge maduongʼno notur mi tunge angʼwen mamoko notwi kanyo kamoro ka moro siemo tunge angʼwen mag polo.
Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Bangʼe tungʼ moro nochako otwi koa kuom tunge angʼwen-go, nochako kotin to bangʼe achien nodongo ka en gi teko kochomo yo milambo gi yo wuok chiengʼ kod yo Piny Maber mar Israel.
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant [land].
10 Tekone nomedore mochopo nyaka e kor polo, kendo nowito sulwe moko e piny mi onyonogi.
And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11 Nopiem gi jatend ogendini mag polo, nomiyo misengini mane itimone jatelono orumo kendo kare maler mar lemo bende nokethi.
Yea, he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 Nikech ngʼanyone, oganda mar joler kod misengni mitimo pile ka pile noket e lwete. Gimoro amora mane otimo ne odhi maber, kendo adiera nojwangʼ.
And an host was given [him] against the daily [sacrifice] by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Eka nawinjo malaika moro kapenjo malaika wadgi niya, “Biro kawo kinde marom nadi mondo fwenyni ochop kare; ma en fweny man kuom misengini mitimo pile ka pile, gi ngʼanyo makelo kethruok, gi ketho kama ler mar lemo kod nyono oganda mar Jehova Nyasaye piny?”
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 Nowachona niya, “Fwenyno biro kawo ndalo alufu ariyo mia adek odiechiengʼ gotieno; eka kama ler mar lemo nopwodhi kendo.”
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
15 An, Daniel, kane oyudo pod aparo kuom wachni kendo angʼe tiende, napo kaneno gima chalo gi dhano kochungʼ e nyima.
And it came to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 Eka nawinjo ngʼato kaluongo koa yo aora Ulai niya, “Gabriel, nyis ngʼatni tiend fweny mosenenono.”
And I heard a man’s voice between [the banks of] Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this [man] to understand the vision.
17 Kane osudo but kama ne achungʼe, luoro nomaka mine apodho piny auma. To nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, bed gi ngʼeyo ni fweny misenenoni wuoyo kuom ndalo giko.”
So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end [shall be] the vision.
18 Kane pod owuoyo koda ka akulo wiya piny, nindo matut notera. Eka nomula mi ochunga malo.
Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
19 Nowacho ni: “Adwaro nyisi gigo mabiro timore e kinde mag masiche, nikech fweny mosenyisini nyiso gik mabiro timore e ndalo giko.
And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end [shall be].
20 Im matunge ariyo mane inenono ochungʼ kar ruodhi mag Media gi Pasia.
The ram which thou sawest having [two] horns [are] the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Nywok moyugnono en ruodh jo-Yunani, to tung marangʼongo manie pat wangʼe e ruoth mokwongo.
And the rough goat [is] the king of Grecia: and the great horn that [is] between his eyes [is] the first king.
22 Tunge angʼwen mane okaw kar mano mane omuk oko ochungʼ kar pinjeruodhi angʼwen mabiro chakore e pinye to ok bi bedo gi teko marom gi mare.
Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23 “E kinde ma lochgi chiegni rumo, jongʼanyo notim timbe maricho mogik, ruoth moro nobi ma wangʼe tek kendo matimo gik maricho.
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 Nodok maratego ahinya, to ok gi tekre owuon. Enokel kethruok maduongʼ kendo enolochi e gimoro amora motimo. Enotiek joma roteke kod jomaler.
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 Obiro miyo miriambo medore, kendo obiro kawore ni oyombo ji. E seche ma giparo ni gidhi maber, obiro nego ji mangʼeny kendo obiro chungʼ mondo oked gi Ruoth mar ruodhi. Kata kamano ibiro tieke, to ok gi teko mar dhano.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 “Fweny mag okinyi godhiambo mosenyisi gin adier, to kik ihulgi ni ngʼato nikech gin gik mabiro timore bangʼe e ndalo mabiro.”
And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told [is] true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it [shall be] for many days.
27 An Daniel, tekra norumo, kendo nabedo matuo kuom ndalo mangʼeny. Eka ne achungo malo, kendo adhi nyime gi tije ruoth. Fweny mane aneno nomako dhoga; kendo ne ok anyal winjo tiende maber.
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick [certain] days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood [it].
