< Daniel 2 >

1 In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled his spirit, and sleep escaped him.
Iti maikadua a tawen ti panagturay ni Nebucadnesar, nagtagtagainep isuna. Nariribukan isuna, ket saanen a makaturog.
2 So the king gave orders to summon the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to explain his dreams. When they came and stood before the king,
Ket pinaayaban ti ari dagiti salamangkero ken dagiti mangibagbaga a kabaelanda ti makisarita kadagiti natay. Pinaayabanna pay dagiti managanito ken dagiti nasirib a lallaki. Kayatna nga ibagada kenkuana ti maipapan kadagiti tagtagainepna. Isu a simrekda ket nagtakderda iti sangoanan ti ari.
3 he said to them, “I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to understand it.”
Kinuna ti ari kadakuada, “Nagtagtagainepak, ket magagaranak a mangammo iti kayat a sawen ti tagtagainep.”
4 Then the astrologers answered the king in Aramaic, “O king, may you live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation.”
Ket nakisarita dagiti nasirib a lallaki iti ari babaen iti pagsasao nga Arameo, “O Ari, agbiagka iti agnanayon! Ibagam ti tagtagainep kadakami nga adipenmo, ket ibagami ti kaipapananna.”
5 The king replied to the astrologers, “My word is final: If you do not tell me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut into pieces and your houses will be reduced to rubble.
Insungbat ti ari kadagiti nasirib a lallaki, “Naikeddengen daytoy a banag. No saanyo a maibaga ti tagtagainep kaniak ken ti kaipapanan daytoy, marangrangkayto dagiti bagiyo ken agbalin a gabsuon dagiti rugit dagiti balayyo.
6 But if you tell me the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. So tell me the dream and its interpretation.”
Ngem no maibagayo kaniak ti tagtagainep ken ti kaipapanan daytoy, makaawatkayo kadagiti sagut manipud kaniak, maysa a gunggona ken dakkel a pammadayaw. Isu nga ibagayo kaniak ti tagtagainep ken ti kaipapanan daytoy.”
7 They answered a second time, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will give the interpretation.”
Insungbatda manen ket kinunada, “Ibaga koma ti ari kadakami nga adipenna, ti tagtagainep ket ibagami kenka ti kaipapanan daytoy.”
8 The king replied, “I know for sure that you are stalling for time, because you see that my word is final.
Simmungbat ti ari, “Ammok a kayatyo ti at-atiddog pay a tiempo gapu ta makitayo ti natibker a pangngeddengko maipapan iti daytoy.
9 If you do not tell me the dream, there is only one decree for you. You have conspired to speak before me false and fraudulent words, hoping the situation will change. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can give me its interpretation.”
Ngem no saanyo a maibaga kaniak ti tagtagainep, maysa laeng ti sentensia para kadakayo. Inkeddengyo ti mangisagana iti palso ken manangallilaw a sasao a nagnunumoanyo nga ibaga kaniak agingga nga agbaliw ti panunotko. Isu nga Ibagayo kaniak ti tagtagainep, ket maammoak a kabaelanyo nga ibaga ti kaipapanan daytoy para kaniak.”
10 The astrologers answered the king, “No one on earth can do what the king requests! No king, however great and powerful, has ever asked anything like this of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer.
Insungbat dagiti nasirib a lallaki iti ari, “Awan ti uray maysa a tao iti daga a makabael a mangibaga iti kalikagum ti ari. Awan ti nabileg ken mannakabalin nga ari ti agkalikagum iti kasta manipud iti siasinoman a salamangkero, wenno manipud iti siasinoman a mangibagbaga a kabaelanda ti makisarita kadagiti natay wenno manipud iti maysa a nasirib a tao.
11 What the king requests is so difficult that no one can tell it to him except the gods, whose dwelling is not with mortals.”
Narigat ti kalkalikaguman ti ari, ket awan ti siasinoman a makaibaga iti daytoy iti ari malaksid kadagiti didios, ket saanda a makipagnanaed kadagiti tattao.”
12 This response made the king so furious with anger that he gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Daytoy ti nangpaunget ken nangpapungtot unay iti ari, ket imbilinna a mapapatay dagiti amin nga adda iti Babilonia a nalatak gapu iti kinasiribda.
13 So the decree went out that the wise men were to be executed, and men went to look for Daniel and his friends to execute them.
Isu a naiwaragawag ti bilin. Mapapatay dagiti amin a nalatak gapu iti kinasiribda; binirokda ni Daniel ken dagiti gagayyemna tapno mapapatayda met.
14 When Arioch, the commander of the king’s guard, had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon, Daniel replied with discretion and tact.
Ket simmungbat ni Daniel nga addaan iti kinaannad ken kinatimbeng kenni Arioc a pangulo dagiti guardia ti ari, nga immay a mangpapatay kadagiti amin a nalatak idiay Babilonia gapu iti kinasiribda.
15 “Why is the decree from the king so harsh?” he asked. At this time Arioch explained the situation to Daniel.
Sinaludsod ni Daniel iti panguloen dagiti guardia ti ari, “Apay a naganat unay ti bilin ti ari?” Imbaga ngarud ni Arioc kenni Daniel ti napasamak.
16 So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him some time, so that he could give him the interpretation.
Kalpasanna, simrek ni Daniel ket kiniddawna a mangikeddeng ti ari iti tiempo tapno maibagana ti kaipapanan ti tagtagainep iti ari.
17 Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Kalpasanna, nagawid ni Daniel ket inlawlawagna kada Hananias, Misael, ken Azarias ti napasamak.
18 urging them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be killed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Ginuyugoyna ida nga agpakaasida iti Dios ti langit maipapan iti daytoy a misterio tapno saanda a mapapatay a kaduada dagiti dadduma a lallaki ti Babilonia a nalatak gapu iti kinasiribda.
19 During the night, the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision, and he blessed the God of heaven
Iti dayta a rabii, naiparang kenni Daniel ti palimed babaen iti maysa a sirmata. Ket dinaydayaw ni Daniel ti Dios ti langit
20 and declared: “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him.
ket kinunana, “Madaydayaw ti nagan ti Dios iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana; ta kukuana ti kinasirib ken pannakabalin.
21 He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
Balbaliwanna dagiti tiempo ken dagiti panawen; Ik-ikkatenna dagiti ari ket isasaadna dagiti ari kadagiti tronoda. Ik-ikkanna iti kinasirib dagiti nasirib ken ik-ikkanna iti pannakaammo dagiti addaan pannakaawat.
22 He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.
Iparparangna dagiti nauneg ken nailemmeng a banbanag gapu ta ammona no ania ti adda iti kasipngetan, ken agnanaed kenkuana ti lawag.
23 To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, because You have given me wisdom and power. And now You have made known to me what we have requested, for You have made known to us the dream of the king.”
O Dios dagiti kapuonak, agyaman ken agdaydayawak kenka gapu iti kinasirib ken pannakabalin nga intedmo kaniak. Ita, impakaammom kaniak ti inkararagmi kenka; impakaammom kadakami ti banag a pakaseknan ti ari.”
24 Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, “Do not execute the wise men of Babylon! Bring me before the king, and I will give him the interpretation.”
Gapu amin kadagitoy, napan ni Daniel kenni Ariok, ti dinutokan ti ari a mangpapatay kadagiti amin a nasirib iti Babilonia. Napan ket kinunana kenkuana, “Saanmo a papatayen dagiti nasirib a lallaki iti Babilonia. Kadduaannak a mapan iti sangoanan ti ari ket ibagak ti kaipapanan ti tagtagainep iti ari.”
25 Arioch hastily brought Daniel before the king and said to him, “I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who will tell the king the interpretation.”
Ket dagus nga impan ni Arioc ni Daniel iti sangoanan ti ari ket kinunana, “Nakasapulak iti maysa a lalaki manipud kadagiti napagtalaw a kas balud ti Juda a makaibaga iti kaipapanan ti tagtagainep ti ari.”
26 The king responded to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to tell me what I saw in the dream, as well as its interpretation?”
Kinuna ti ari kenni Daniel (a naawagan iti Beltesazar), “Kabaelam kadi nga ibaga kaniak ti natagtagainepko ken ti kaipapanan daytoy?”
27 Daniel answered the king, “No wise man, enchanter, medium, or magician can explain to the king the mystery of which he inquires.
Simmungbat ni Daniel iti ari ket kinunana, “Ti misterio a kinalikaguman ti ari ket a saan a maibaga dagiti addaan iti kinasirib, wenno dagiti mangibagbaga a kabaelanda ti makisarita kadagiti natay, wenno dagiti salamangkero, ken saan a maibaga dagiti astrologo.
28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the latter days. Your dream and the visions that came into your mind as you lay on your bed were these:
Nupay kasta, adda Dios nga agnanaed kadagiti langit, a mangiparparangarang kadagiti palimed, ket impakaammona kenka, O Ari Nebucadnezar, dagiti mapasamakto kadagiti sumaruno nga al-aldaw. Ti tagtagainepmo ken dagiti sirmata iti panunotmo bayat nga agid-iddaka iti pagiddaam ket dagitoy:
29 As you lay on your bed, O king, your thoughts turned to the future, and the Revealer of Mysteries made known to you what will happen.
No maipapan kenka, O ari, dagiti panpanunotem iti pagiddaam ket maipapan kadagiti banbanag a mapasamakto iti masakbayan, ket impakaammo kenka ti mangiparparang kadagiti palimed ti mapasamakto.
30 And to me this mystery has been revealed, not because I have more wisdom than any man alive, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.
No maipapan kaniak, saan a naiparang kaniak daytoy a palimed gapu ta nasirsiribak ngem iti siasinoman a sibibiag a tao. Naiparang kaniak daytoy a palimed tapno sika, O ari, maawatam koma ti kaipapananna, ken tapno maammoam koma dagiti kapanunotan iti kaunggam.
31 As you, O king, were watching, a great statue appeared. A great and dazzling statue stood before you, and its form was awesome.
O ari, timmangadka ket nakakitaka iti maysa a dakkel nga estatua. Nakatakder iti sangoanam daytoy nga estatua a nabileg ken naraniag unay. Nakabutbuteng ti kinaraniagna.
32 The head of the statue was pure gold, its chest and arms were silver, its belly and thighs were bronze,
Ti ulo ti estatua ket naaramid iti puro a balitok. Ti barukong ken dagiti takkiagna ket naaramid iti pirak. Ti tian ken dagiti luppona ket naaramid iti bronse, ken dagiti gurongna ket naaramid iti landok.
33 its legs were iron, and its feet were part iron and part clay.
Dagiti sakana ket naaramid iti naglaok a landok ken damili.
34 As you watched, a stone was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and crushed them.
Timmangadka ket maysa a bato ti nargaay, uray no kasta, saan a babaen kadagiti ima ti tao, ket naitupak daytoy kadagiti saka ti estatua a naaramid iti naglaok a landok ken damili, ket nawarawara dagitoy.
35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were shattered and became like chaff on the threshing floor in summer. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that had struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Kalpasanna, naggigiddan a naburak ti landok, damili, bronse, pirak ken balitok ket nagbalin a kasla taep ti pagirikan iti kalgaw. Naiyangin dagitoy ket awanen ti nabati a pakakitaan kadagitoy. Ngem ti bato a naitupak iti estatua ket nagbalin a dakkel a bantay ket pinunnona ti entero a daga.
36 This was the dream; now we will tell the king its interpretation.
Daytoy ti tagtagainepmo. Ita, ibagami iti ari ti kaipapanan ti tagtagainepna.
37 You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength, and glory.
Sika, O ari, ket ari dagiti ar-ari a nangitedan ti Dios ti langit iti pagarian, ti pannakabalin, bileg ken dayaw.
38 Wherever the sons of men or beasts of the field or birds of the air dwell, He has given them into your hand and has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.
Inyawatna iti imam ti disso a pagnanaedan dagiti tattao. Inyawatna iti imam dagiti ayup iti kataltalonan ken dagiti billit iti tangatang, ken pinaiturayanna amin ida kenka. Sika ti balitok nga ulo ti estatua.
39 But after you, there will arise another kingdom, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule the whole earth.
Kalpasan ti panagturaymo, tumaudto ti maysa pay a pagarian a saan a nabilbileg ngem sika, ngem agturayto iti entero a daga ti maikatlo a pagarian ti bronse.
40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; for iron shatters and crushes all things, and like iron that crushes all things, it will shatter and crush all the others.
Addanto maikapat a pagarian a kas katibker ti landok, gapu ta buraken ti landok dagiti dadduma a banbanag ken warawaraen daytoy dagiti amin a banag. Warawaraen ken rumekento daytoy dagiti amin a banbanag.
41 And just as you saw that the feet and toes were made partly of fired clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom, yet some of the strength of iron will be in it—just as you saw the iron mixed with clay.
Kas iti nakitam, naglaok a damili ken landok dagiti saka ken ramay daytoy, isu a magudduanto daytoy a pagarian; addanto iti daytoy ti dadduma a tibker ti landok kas iti nakitam a nailaok ti landok iti damili.
42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
Gapu ta naaramid dagiti saka ken ramay iti naglaok a landok ken damili, kastanto met ti pagarian, napigsanto ti dadduma a paset ket narasinto ti dadduma a paset.
43 As you saw the iron mixed with clay, so the peoples will mix with one another, but will not hold together any more than iron mixes with clay.
Kas iti nakitam, nailaok ti landok iti damili, isu nga aglalaokto dagiti tattao; saandanto a nadekket iti tunggal maysa, kas iti saan a pannakailaok ti landok iti damili.
44 In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will shatter all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself stand forever.
Kadagiti al-aldaw dagitoy nga ar-ari, mangipasdekto ti Dios ti langit iti maysa a pagarian a saanto a pulos a madadael wenno maparmek dagiti sabali a tattao. Burakento daytoy dagiti dadduma a pagarian ken gibusannanto amin dagitoy, ket agtalinaedto daytoy iti agnanayon.
45 And just as you saw a stone being cut out of the mountain without human hands, and it shattered the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold, so the great God has told the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation is trustworthy.”
Kas iti nakitam, maysa a bato ti nareggaay manipud iti bantay, ngem saan a babaen kadagiti ima ti tao. Binurakburak daytoy ti landok, bronse, damili, pirak ken balitok. Impakaammo kenka ti naindaklan a Dios, O ari, no ania ti mapasamakto kalpasan daytoy. Pudno ti tagtagainep ken mapagtalkan ti kaipapanan daytoy.”
46 At this, King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, paid homage to Daniel, and ordered that an offering of incense be presented to him.
Nagpakleb ni Ari Nebucadnesar iti sangoanan ni Daniel ket pinadayawanna isuna; imbilinna nga agidatonda ken mangpuorda iti insenso tapno padayawan isuna.
47 The king said to Daniel, “Your God is truly the God of gods and Lord of kings, the Revealer of Mysteries, since you were able to reveal this mystery.”
Kinuna ti ari kenni Daniel, “Pudno a ti Diosmo ket Dios dagiti dios, ti Apo dagiti ari, ken ti mangiparparang kadagiti palimed, ta nabaelam nga imparang daytoy a misterio.”
48 Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many generous gifts. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon.
Ket pinadayawan ti ari ni Daniel iti kasta unay, ken inikkanna isuna iti adu a sagut. Pinagbalinna isuna a mangituray iti entero a probinsia ti Babilonia. Nagbalin ni Daniel a kangatoan a gobernador kadagiti kasisiriban a lallaki ti Babilonia.
49 And at Daniel’s request, the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to manage the province of Babylon, while Daniel remained in the king’s court.
Nagkiddaw ni Daniel iti ari, ket dinutokan ti ari da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego nga agbalin nga administrador iti entero a probinsia ti Babilonia. Ngem nagtalinaed ni Daniel iti palasio ti ari.
