Daniel 2
1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.
E higa mar ariyo mar loch Nebukadneza, noleko lek mayoreyore, kendo lekgo nochando chunye ma omone nindo.
2 And the king commanded to call the scribes, and the magicians, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to shew the king his dreams; and they came and stood before 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 unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.
nowachonegi niya, “Aseleko lek moro mosechanda ahinya kendo adwaro mondo angʼe tiende.”
4 And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, O king, live for ever! tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the 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 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The command is gone forth from me: If ye do not make known unto me the dream, and its interpretation, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
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 ye shew the dream and its interpretation, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour; therefore shew 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 the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
To negichako gidwoke kendo niya, “Ruoth mondo onyis jotichne lek moseleko, eka wabiro nyise tiende.”
8 The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the word is gone forth 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 but if ye do not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you; for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me its interpretation.
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 The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter; therefore there is no king, however great and powerful, that hath asked such a thing of any scribe, or magician, or 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 thing that the king demandeth is extraordinary, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
Gima ruoth penjono tek ma ok nyalre. Onge ngʼama nyalo lero tiende ni ruoth, makmana nyiseche, to gin ok gidag gi ji.”
12 For this cause the king was irritated and very wroth, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Ma nomiyo mirima omako ruoth kendo nodoko mager, mi nogolo chik mana gisano mondo oneg joma riek duto manie piny Babulon.
13 And the decree went forth that the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to slay them.
Omiyo chik nowuok mondo onegi joma riek duto, kendo noor ji mondo omany Daniel gi osiepene, mondo gin bende oneg-gi.
14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and prudence to Arioch the chief of the king's bodyguard, who had gone forth to slay 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 he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so rigorous from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known 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 And Daniel went in, and requested of the king that he would give him time, that he might shew the king the interpretation.
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 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions;
Eka Daniel nodok e ode kendo nonyiso osiepene ma Hanania, Mishael kod Azaria wachno.
18 that they would desire mercies of the God of the heavens concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the 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 was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of the heavens.
Otienono nonyis Daniel tiend midhierono e lek. Eka Daniel nopako Nyasach polo,
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; For wisdom and might are his.
kowacho niya: Nying Nyasaye mondo opaki mochwere manyaka chiengʼ; nikech rieko kod teko gin mage.
21 And it is he that changeth times and seasons; He deposeth kings, and setteth up kings; He giveth wisdom to the wise, And knowledge to them that know understanding.
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 It is he that revealeth the deep and secret things; He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
Ofwenyo gik matut kendo mopondo; ongʼeyo gima opondo e mudho, kendo ler odak kode.
23 I thank thee, and I praise thee, O God of my fathers, Who hast given me wisdom and might, And hast made known unto me already what we desired of thee; For thou hast made known unto us the king's matter.
Agoyoni erokamano, kendo apaki, yaye Nyasach kwerena: Isemiya rieko gi teko, isemiyo angʼeyo gima ne wakwayi, isemiyo wangʼeyo tiend lek mar ruoth.
24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus unto him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
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 brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him: I have found a man of the sons of the captivity of Judah that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
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 unto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?
Ruoth nopenjo Daniel (ma bende ne iluongo ni Belteshazar) niya, “Bende inyalo nyisa tiend gima ne aneno e lekna?”
27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king and said, The secret that the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the magicians, the scribes, the astrologers, shew unto 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 the heavens, who revealeth secrets, and maketh known to king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be at the end of days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed are 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 — as for thee, O king, thy thoughts arose upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter; and he that revealeth secrets hath made known to thee what shall come to pass.
“Kane oyudo inindo kanyo, yaye ruoth, pachi nolokore momako gik mabiro timore, kendo Jal mafwenyo tiend midhierni nonyisi gik mabiro timore.
30 And as for me, this secret is revealed to me, not by [any] wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation should be made known to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
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 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold, a great image. This image was mighty and its brightness excellent; it stood before thee, and its appearance was terrible.
“Kane ingʼicho, yaye ruoth, to ne ineno e nyimi kido moro maduongʼ marieny kendo malich kineno.
32 This image's head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs 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 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of clay.
ogwendene nolos gi chuma, to tiendene nolos gi chuma mokikore gi lowo mowangʼ.
34 Thou sawest till a stone was cut out without hands; and it smote the image upon its feet of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.
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 was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken in pieces together, and they became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them. And the stone that smote the image 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; and we will tell the interpretation of it before the king.
“Mano e lekno, kendo koro wabiro loke ne ruoth.
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings, unto whom the God of the heavens hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory;
Yaye ruoth, in e ruoth mar ruodhi. Nyasach polo asemiyi loch gi teko gi nyalo kod duongʼ;
38 and wheresoever the children of men, the beasts of the field, and the fowl of the heavens dwell, he hath given them into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all: thou art this 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 thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; then another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
“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 shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth everything, and as iron that breaketh all these, so shall it break in pieces and bruise.
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 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry 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 part of iron and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.
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 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay.
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 And in the days of these kings shall the God of the heavens set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the sovereignty thereof shall not be left to another people: it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, but itself shall stand for ever.
“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 Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, — the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. And the dream is certain, and the interpretation of it sure.
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 worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
Eka ruoth Nebukadneza nopodho piny auma e nyim Daniel mi nomiye duongʼ kendo nogolo chik mondo otimne misango kendo oket ubani e nyime.
47 The king answered Daniel and said, Of a truth it is that your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, because thou wast able to reveal this secret.
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 made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the 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 And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego over the administration of the province of Babylon. And Daniel was in the gate of the king.
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.
