Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Baltasar king of the Chaldeans Daniel had a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed: and he wrote his dream.
E higa mokwongo mar loch Belshazar ruoth Babulon, Daniel noleko kendo noneno fweny mopogore opogore kane oyudo oyweyo e kitandane. Nondiko lekneno e kitabu.
2 I Daniel beheld, and, lo, the four winds of heaven blew violently upon the great sea.
Daniel nowacho niya, “E fwenyna ma naneno gotieno, ne angʼicho, kendo e nyima ne nitie yembe angʼwen mag polo mane yuko nam maduongʼ.
3 And there came up four great beasts out of the sea, differing from one another.
Ondiegi angʼwen moko malich, ma moro ka moro opogore gi nyawadgi, nowuok koa e nam.
4 The first [was] as a lioness, and her wings as an eagle’s: I beheld until her wings were plucked, and she was lifted off from the earth, and she stood on human feet, and a man’s heart was given to her.
“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.
5 And, behold, a second beast like a bear, and it supported itself on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth: and thus they said to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
“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!’
6 After this one I looked, and behold another wild beast as a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon it: and the wild beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
“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.
7 After this one I looked, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong, and its teeth were of iron; devouring and crushing to atoms, and it trampled the remainder with its feet: and it was altogether different from all the beasts that were before it; and it [had] ten horns.
“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.
8 I noticed his horns, and, behold, another little horn came up in the midst of them, and before it three of the former horns were rooted out: and, behold, [there were] eyes as the eyes of a man in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
“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.
9 I beheld until the thrones were set, and the Ancient of days sat; and his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head as pure wool: his throne was a flame of fire, [and] his wheels burning fire.
“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.
10 A stream of fire rushed forth before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousands of myriads attended upon him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened.
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.
11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke, until the wild beast was slain and destroyed, and his body given to be burnt with fire.
“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.
12 And the dominion of the rest of the wild beasts was taken away; but a prolonging of life was given them for certain times.
Ondiegi mamoko noyudo osetiek lochgi, to makmana nine pod owegi mangima kuom ndalo manok.
13 I beheld in the night vision, and, lo, [one] coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he came on to the Ancient of days, and was brought near to him.
“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.
14 And to him was given the dominion, and the honour, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.
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.
15 [As for] me Daniel, my spirit in my body trembled, and the visions of my head troubled me.
“An Daniel, chunya nochandore, kendo fweny mane aneno mopogore opogore nodhiera nono.
16 And I drew near to one of them that stood by, and I sought to learn of him the truth of all these things: and he told me the truth, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
Ne adhi ir achiel kuom joma nochungʼ kanyo mi napenje tiend lek mane aseleko. “Omiyo nonyisa, tiend wechegi kowacho niya,
17 These four beasts are four kingdoms [that] shall rise up on the earth:
‘Ondiegi angʼwen malichgo gin pinjeruodhi angʼwen mabiro bet e piny e ndalo mabiro.
18 which shall be taken away; and the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess it for ever and ever.
To jomaler mar Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo ema biro rito pinjego kendo ginibed gi loch nyaka chiengʼ.’
19 Then I enquired carefully concerning the fourth beast; for it differed from every [other] beast, exceeding dreadful: its teeth were of iron, and its claws of brass, devouring, and utterly breaking to pieces, and it trampled the remainder with its feet:
“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.
20 and concerning its ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and rooted up [some] of the former, which had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and his look was bolder than the rest.
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.
21 I beheld, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Kane pod amedo ngʼicho to tungʼni notugo lweny gi jomaler mi oloyogi,
22 until the Ancient of days came, and he gave judgment to the saints of the Most High; and the time came on, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
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.
23 And he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on the earth, which shall excel all [other] kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and trample and destroy it.
“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.
24 And his ten horns are ten kings [that] shall arise: and after them shall arise another, who shall exceed all the former ones in wickedness, and he shall subdue three kings.
Tunge apar gin ruodhi apar mabiro wuok e pinyruodhni. To bangʼ e ruoth moro biro wuok, mopogore gi mago motelo, kendo enolo adekgo.
25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change times and law: and [power] shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.
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.
26 And the judgment has sat, and they shall remove [his] dominion to abolish it, and to destroy it utterly.
“‘Bangʼ mano bura nongʼadi, mi nomaye lochne duto mondo otieke chuth.
27 And the kingdom and the power and the greatness of the kings that are under the whole heaven were given to the saints of the Most High; and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all powers shall serve and obey him.
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.’
28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance was changed: but I kept the matter in my heart.
“Mano e giko wechego. An, Daniel, wechego nochando chunya, mi nabuok kuom gik mane aneno, to kata kamano ne ok awachone ngʼato wechego.”
