Daniel 2
1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar saw a dream, and his spirit was terrified, and his dream fled from him.
E higa mar ariyo mar loch Nebukadneza, noleko lek mayoreyore, kendo lekgo nochando chunye ma omone nindo.
2 Yet the king commanded that the seers, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be gathered together to reveal to the king his dreams. When they arrived, they stood in front of the king.
Omiyo ruoth nogolo chik mondo okelne ajuoke, jokor wach, jo-nyakalondo kod jorieko ma jo-Kaldea mondo onyise gima noleko. Kane gidonjo mi gichungʼ e nyim ruoth,
3 And the king said to them, “I saw a dream, and, being confused in mind, I do not know what I saw.”
nowachonegi niya, “Aseleko lek moro mosechanda ahinya kendo adwaro mondo angʼe tiende.”
4 And the Chaldeans answered the king in Syriac, “O king, live forever. Tell the dream to your servants, and we will reveal its interpretation.”
Eka jokor wach nodwoko ruoth gi dho jo-Aram niya, “Mad idag amingʼa, yaye ruoth nyis jotichni lek ma iseleko eka wabiro nyisi tiende.”
5 And in answer, the king said to the Chaldeans, “The memory of it has slipped away from me. Unless you reveal the dream to me, and its meaning, you will be put to death, and your houses will be confiscated.
Ruoth nodwoko jokor wach niya, “Ma e gima asengʼado e pacha ma ok anyal loko kama: Ka ok unyisa gima ne aleko, kendo ka ok unyisa tiende, to ibiro kidhu matindo tindo, kendo uteu biro lokore pidhe mag owuoyo.
6 But if you explain the dream and its meaning, you will receive from me rewards, and gifts, and great honor. Therefore, reveal to me the dream and its interpretation.”
To ka unyisa gima ne aleko kendo unyisa tiende, to ubiro yudo mich gi osimbo kod duongʼ malich. Omiyo nyisauru leknano kendo nyisauru tiende.”
7 They answered again and said, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will reveal its interpretation.”
To negichako gidwoke kendo niya, “Ruoth mondo onyis jotichne lek moseleko, eka wabiro nyise tiende.”
8 The king answered and said, “I am certain that you are stalling for time because you know that the memory of it has slipped away from me.
Eka ruoth nodwoko niya, “Angʼeyo ratiro ni utemo mana ketho seche, nikech ungʼeyo ni gima asengʼado e chunya ma ok anyal loko ema:
9 Therefore, if you do not reveal to me the dream, there is only one conclusion to be reached about you, that the interpretation is likewise false, and packed full of deception, so as to speak before me until the time passes away. And so, tell me the dream, so that I will also know that the interpretation that you tell me is likewise true.”
Ka ok unyisa lek maseleko, to chandruok achiel kende ema ochomou. Usewinjoru e kindu mondo unyisa gik manyalo wita kod gik maricho, kuparo ni mano biro miyo alok pacha. Kuom mano, nyisauru leknano, eka abiro ngʼeyo ni unyalo lokona tiende.”
10 Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and they said, “There is no man on earth who can accomplish your word, O king. For neither has any king, however great and mighty, asked for an answer of this kind from every seer, and astrologer, and Chaldean.
Jokor wach nodwoko ruoth niya, “Onge dhano moro amora e piny manyalo timo gima ruoth penjoni! Bende onge ruoth moro amora, bed ni oduongʼ kendo en gi nyalo machal nadi, mosepenjo ajwoga, ja-nyakalondo kata jakor wach moro amora gima chalo kamano.
11 For the answer that you seek, O king, is very difficult. Neither can anyone be found who can reveal it in the sight of the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.”
Gima ruoth penjono tek ma ok nyalre. Onge ngʼama nyalo lero tiende ni ruoth, makmana nyiseche, to gin ok gidag gi ji.”
12 When he heard this, the king commanded, in fury and in great wrath, that all the wise men of Babylon should be destroyed.
Ma nomiyo mirima omako ruoth kendo nodoko mager, mi nogolo chik mana gisano mondo oneg joma riek duto manie piny Babulon.
13 And when the decree had gone forth, the wise men were put to death; and Daniel and his companions were sought, to be destroyed.
Omiyo chik nowuok mondo onegi joma riek duto, kendo noor ji mondo omany Daniel gi osiepene, mondo gin bende oneg-gi.
14 Then Daniel inquired, about the law and the sentence, of Arioch, the general of the king’s army, who had gone forth to execute the wise men of Babylon.
Ka Ariok, jatend askeche morito ruoth nosewuok oko mondo oneg joma riek mag Babulon, Daniel nowuoyo kode gi rieko kod paro matut.
15 And he asked him, who had received the orders of the king, for what reason such a cruel sentence had gone forth from the face of the king. And so, when Arioch had revealed the matter to Daniel,
Nopenjo jatelo mane oa ka ruothno niya, “Angʼo momiyo ruoth nogolo chik mager kamano?” Eka Ariok nonyiso Daniel gima omiyo nogol chik ma kamano.
16 Daniel went in and asked of the king that he would grant him time to reveal the solution to the king.
Ka Daniel nowinjo tiend gima ne timore, nodhi nyaka e nyim ruoth mokwaye mondo omede thuolo, eka obed gi nyalo mar lokone tiend lekne.
17 And he went into his house and explained the task to Hananiah, and Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
Eka Daniel nodok e ode kendo nonyiso osiepene ma Hanania, Mishael kod Azaria wachno.
18 so that they would seek mercy before the face of the God of heaven, about this mystery, and so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the other wise men of Babylon.
Nojiwogi mondo gikwa Nyasach polo mondo okechgi kuom midhieroni, mondo en, kaachiel gi osiepene, gi joma riek mamoko man Babulon kik neg-gi.
19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night. And Daniel blessed the God of heaven,
Otienono nonyis Daniel tiend midhierono e lek. Eka Daniel nopako Nyasach polo,
20 and speaking aloud, he said, “May the name of the Lord be blessed by the present generation and forever; for wisdom and fortitude are his.
kowacho niya: Nying Nyasaye mondo opaki mochwere manyaka chiengʼ; nikech rieko kod teko gin mage.
21 And he alters the times and the ages. He takes away kingdoms and he establishes them. He gives wisdom to those who are wise and teaching skills to those who understand.
En ema ochano ndalo mag chwiri kod opon; bende en ema oketo ruodhi e loch kendo ogologi. Ochiwo rieko ne joma riek kod ngʼeyo ne joma nigi winjo.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things, and he knows what has been established in darkness. And the light is with him.
Ofwenyo gik matut kendo mopondo; ongʼeyo gima opondo e mudho, kendo ler odak kode.
23 To you, God of our fathers, I confess, and you, I praise. For you have given wisdom and fortitude to me, and now you have revealed to me what we asked of you, for you have uncovered for us the king’s thoughts.”
Agoyoni erokamano, kendo apaki, yaye Nyasach kwerena: Isemiya rieko gi teko, isemiyo angʼeyo gima ne wakwayi, isemiyo wangʼeyo tiend lek mar ruoth.
24 After this, Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke to him in this way, “Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will explain the solution to the king.”
Eka Daniel nodhi ir Ariok, ngʼat mane ruoth oketo mondo oneg joma riek man Babulon, kendo nowachone niya, “Kik itiek joma riek man Babulon. Tera ir ruoth mondo alokne tiend lekneno.”
25 Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel to the king, and he said to him, “I have found a man of the sons of the transmigration of Judah, who would announce the solution to the king.”
Ariok notero Daniel ir ruoth sano, kendo nowacho niya, “Aseyudo ngʼat moro moa e dhood Juda, manie twech e pinywa, manyalo nyiso ruoth tiend lekneno.”
26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Do you really think that you can reveal to me the dream that I saw and its interpretation?”
Ruoth nopenjo Daniel (ma bende ne iluongo ni Belteshazar) niya, “Bende inyalo nyisa tiend gima ne aneno e lekna?”
27 And Daniel, facing the king, answered and said, “The secret that the king seeks, the wise men, the seers, and the soothsayers are unable to reveal to the king.
Daniel nodwoko niya, “Onge ngʼama riek moro amora, kata jakor wach kata ajwoga kata ja-nyakalondo manyalo nyiso ruoth tiend midhiero mosepenjoni,
28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, who has revealed to you, king Nebuchadnezzar, what will happen in the latter times. Your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed, are such as these.
makmana nitie Nyasaye moro e polo mafwenyo tiend midhierni. Osenyiso ruoth Nebukadneza gik mabiro timore ndalo mabiro. Lekni kod fweny duto mane obiro e pachi kane inindo e kitandani e magi:
29 You, O king, began to think, while in your blanket, about what will be hereafter. And he who reveals secrets showed you what will happen.
“Kane oyudo inindo kanyo, yaye ruoth, pachi nolokore momako gik mabiro timore, kendo Jal mafwenyo tiend midhierni nonyisi gik mabiro timore.
30 To me, likewise, this mystery is revealed, not according to the wisdom that is in me more than in other living things, but so that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and so that you may know the thoughts of your mind.
To an ok oseelna tiend midhieroni nikech ariek moloyo ji mamoko mangima, to oseelnago mondo in, yaye ruoth, ingʼe tiende, kendo mondo ingʼe gima nobiro e pachi.
31 You, O king, saw, and behold, something like a great statue. This statue, which was great and high, stood exalted above you, and you considered how terrible it was.
“Kane ingʼicho, yaye ruoth, to ne ineno e nyimi kido moro maduongʼ marieny kendo malich kineno.
32 The head of this statue was of the finest gold, but the breast and the arms were of silver, and further on, the belly and the thighs were of brass;
Kido mochweno ne olos gi dhahabu lilo, to kore gi bedene nolos gi fedha. Bund iye gi embene to nolos gi nyinyo,
33 but the shins were of iron, a certain part of the feet were of iron and another part were of clay.
ogwendene nolos gi chuma, to tiendene nolos gi chuma mokikore gi lowo mowangʼ.
34 And so you looked until a stone was broken off without hands from a mountain, and it struck the statue on its feet, which were of iron and clay, and it shattered them.
Kane oyudo irange, lwanda moro ne omuki, to ok gi lwet dhano. Lwandano notuomo kido mochweno gi yo ka tiendene mane olos gi chuma gi lowo, mi otoyogi matindo tindo.
35 Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold were crushed together and diminished like the ashes of a summer courtyard, and they were quickly taken away by the wind, and no place was found for them; but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Eka chuma gi lowo, gi nyinyo, gi fedha gi dhahabu notore mongʼinjore matindo tindo, kendo negilokore machal gi mihudhi molwar kar dino cham e ndalo oro. Yamo nobiro moywerogi oko duto, maonge kata buru matin mane odongʼ. To Lwanda mane otuomo kido mochweno nolokore got marangʼongo kendo nopongʼo piny duto.
36 This is the dream; we will also tell its interpretation before you, O king.
“Mano e lekno, kendo koro wabiro loke ne ruoth.
37 You are a king among kings, and the God of heaven has given to you a kingdom, and fortitude, and power, and glory,
Yaye ruoth, in e ruoth mar ruodhi. Nyasach polo asemiyi loch gi teko gi nyalo kod duongʼ;
38 and all the places wherein the sons of men and the beasts of the field dwell. He has likewise given the flying creatures of the air into your hand, and he has placed all things under your realm. Therefore, you are the head of gold.
oseketo ji duto modak e piny ngima e lweti, kaachiel gi le mag bungu kod winy mafuyo e kor polo. Kendo kamoro amora ma gidakie, oseketi jatelo mag-gi duto. Omiyo koro in e wich mar kido mane ilekono.
39 And after you, another kingdom will rise up, inferior to you, of silver, and another third kingdom of brass, which will rule over the whole world.
“Bangʼ lochni, pinyruoth moro machielo nobi, ma lochne ok nobed maduongʼ ka mari. Bangʼ mano pinyruoth molos gi nyinyo nobed gi loch ewi piny duto.
40 And the fourth kingdom will be like iron. Just as iron shatters and conquers all things, so will it shatter and crush all these.
Mogik, pinyruoth mar angʼwen matek ka chuma nobi, nikech chuma toyo kendo rego gimoro amora, to kaka chuma toyo gik moko matindo tindo, e kaka en bende obiro rego kendo toyo pinyruodhi mamoko duto.
41 Furthermore, because you saw the feet and the toes to be part of potter’s clay and part of iron, the kingdom will be divided, but still, from the slip of iron it will take its origin, since you saw the iron mingled with the earthenware from clay.
Mana kaka ne ineno ka tiend kidono gi lith tiendene olos gi chuma mokikore gi lowo mowangʼ mano e kaka nobed pinyruoth mopogore kende; to kata kamano, enobed gi teko moko mag chuma e iye, mana kaka ne ineno chuma mokikore gi lowo mowangʼ.
42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, part of the kingdom will be strong and part will be crushed.
Mana kaka lith tiendene nolos gi chuma mokikore gi lowo mowangʼ, e kaka pinyruodhni bende biro bedo matek kuonde moko, to kuonde moko nobed maonge teko.
43 Yet, because you saw the iron mingled with pottery from the earth, they will indeed be combined together with the offspring of man, but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron cannot be mixed with earthenware.
Mana kaka ne ineno ka oriw chuma gi lowo mowangʼ, e kaka jo-pinyruodhno nobed joma oriw, to ok ginisik ka giriwore, nikech chuma moriw gi lowo ok nyal siko koriwore.
44 But in the days of those kingdoms, the God of heaven will inspire a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and his kingdom will not be handed over to another people, and it will crush and will consume all these kingdoms, and this kingdom itself will stand in eternity.
“E kinde mag ruodhigo, Nyasach polo nochung pinyruoth moro ma ok nokethi nyaka chiengʼ, kendo ma ok nowene oganda machielo. Enoreg pinjeruodhigo duto nyaka okelgi e gikogi, to en owuon to nosik nyaka chiengʼ.”
45 In accordance with what you saw, because the stone was torn away from the mountain without hands, and it crushed the earthenware, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God has shown the king what will happen after this. And the dream is true, and its interpretation is faithful.”
Ma e tiend fweny mar lwanda mane omuki e got moro, to ok gi lwet dhano ma en lwanda mane otoyo chuma gi nyinyo gi lowo, gi fedha gi dhahabu matindo tindo. Nyasaye maduongʼ osenyiso ruoth gima biro timore e ndalo mabiro. Lekni en adier, kendo lok molokego bende en adier chuth.
46 Then king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and adored Daniel, and he commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.
Eka ruoth Nebukadneza nopodho piny auma e nyim Daniel mi nomiye duongʼ kendo nogolo chik mondo otimne misango kendo oket ubani e nyime.
47 And so the king spoke with Daniel and said, “Truly, your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and also a revealer of secrets, since you could uncover this mystery.”
Ruoth nowachone Daniel niya, “Adier, Nyasachi en Nyasach nyiseche, kendo en Ruoth mar ruodhi, kendo en Jal maelo tiend midhierni, nikech ne in gi nyalo mar elona tiend midhieroni.”
48 Then the king raised Daniel to a high rank and gave him many great gifts, and he appointed him as leader over all the provinces of Babylon and as chief of the magistrates over all the other wise men of Babylon.
Eka ruoth noketo Daniel e telo mamalo kendo nomiye mich mathoth. Nokete jatelo e piny Babulon duto, kendo nomiye teko ewi joma riek duto man Babulon.
49 However, Daniel required of the king that he appoint Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the works of the province of Babylon. But Daniel himself was at the king’s door.
To bende, kaka Daniel nokwaye, ruoth noyiero Shadrak, Meshak gi Abednego kaka jotend gwenge mag Babulon, to Daniel owuon to nodongʼ mana katiyo e dala ruoth.
