Daniel 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
Ruoth Nebukadneza, Nolando ni ji duto gi ogendini kod ji moa e dhoudi mopogore opogore modak e piny ngima niya: Mad udag e ngima maber kod kwe.
2 It hath seemed good unto me to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me.
En morna mondo anyisu kuom honni gi ranyisi miwuoro ma Nyasaye Mamalo Mogik osetimona.
3 How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
Mano kaka ranyisi mage dongo,
4 I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
An Nebukadneza, noyudo ka an e dalana mar loch ka adhi maber kendo achano mwanduna.
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
Kane oyudo anindo e kitandana, ne aleko lek mane obwoga, omiyo ne abedo gi luoro ahinya.
6 And I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
Kuom mano nagolo chik mondo okel jomariek duto mag Babulon e nyima mondo olokna tiend lekno.
7 Then came in the scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation of it.
Omiyo ajuoke, gi jokor wach, gi jorieko ma jo-Kaldea, gi jo-nyakalondo duto nobiro, mine anyisogi lekno, to ne ok ginyal lokona tiende.
8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and before him I told the dream:
Mogik, Daniel nobiro e nyima kendo ne anyise leknano. (Daniel iluongo gi nying nyasacha ni Belteshazar, kendo chuny mar nyiseche maler ni kuome.)
9 O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret is too hard for thee, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it.
Ne awachone niya, “Belteshazar ajwoga moloyo ajuoke duto, angʼeyo ni chuny mar nyiseche maler ni kuomi, kendo onge midhiero moro amora matek manyalo tami. Lekna ema, loknago.
10 Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.
Lek mane aneno kane anindo e kitandana ema: Ne aneno e nyima yien moro mochungʼ e chuny piny kendo yien-no ne bor ahinya.
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached unto the heavens, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.
Yien-no nodongo maduongʼ kendo motegno, kendo wiye nochopo nyaka e polo, to bende ne inyalo nene e tungʼ piny koni gi koni.
12 Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
It yien-no ne beyo, bende olembene ne ogundho, kendo gik moko duto ne yudo chiembgi kuome. Tipone ema ne le mag bungu duto oloso kuonde dak mag-gi, kendo winy mafuyo e kor polo nodak e bedene. Gik mangima duto ne yudo chiembgi kuome.
13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from the heavens;
“Kane pod aparo lek mane aleko, to ne jaote mar Nyasaye obiro ka olor oa e polo.
14 he cried aloud, and said thus: Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit; let the beasts get away from under it, and the birds from its branches.
Nokok gi dwol maduongʼ ni, ‘Tongʼ yien-no oko kendo lwer bedene kod obokene kendo iwit olembene mabor. Le duto modak e tipone kod winy mogedo e bedene mondo oringi.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be bathed with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.
Osiki mare gi tiendene to we kodongʼ ei lowo, kitweye gi nyinyo kod mula, e dier lum madongo e bungu. “‘Weye mondo thoo omiye ngʼich, kendo odag kaachiel gi le e dier yiende mag piny.
16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
Pache mondo olokre mi pogre gi pach dhano, to mondo omiye paro mar kit le moro, kuom higni abiriyo.
17 This sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision by the word of the holy ones: that the living may know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
“‘Malaike ma jorit ema ongʼado kalando wachni ni nyaka otimre, mondo joma ngima ongʼe ni Nyasaye Mamalo Mogik nigi teko ewi pinjeruodhi, kendo en ema ochiwogi ni ngʼato angʼata mohero, kendo onyalo keto dhano adhana mondo otel ni ji.’
18 This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and thou, Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
“Ma e lek maseleko, an ruoth Nebukadneza awuon. Koro, Belteshazar, nyisa tiende, nikech onge ngʼato kata achiel e dier joma riek duto manie pinyruodha manyalo lokona tiende. To in inyalo, nikech chuny mar nyiseche maler ni kuomi.”
19 Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, nor its interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and its interpretation to thine enemies!
Eka Daniel ma bende nochaki ni Belteshazar wachni nobwogo molingʼ kendo luoro nomake. Omiyo ruoth nowacho ni Belteshazar niya, “Kik kibaji goyi nikech lekno kata nikech gima tiende nyiso.” Belteshazar nodwoko niya, “Ruodha, ka dine bed ni lekni ne ni kuom wasiki kendo tiende ne ni kuom joma kedo kodi, to dine ber!
20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew and was strong, whose height reached unto the heavens, and the sight of it to all the earth;
Yaye ruodha, yien mane ineno, mane odongo maduongʼ kendo motegno ma wiye ochopo e polo kendo nenore e piny ngima,
21 whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and in whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation:
kendo ma ite beyo, manyago olemo mangʼeny, mamiyo gik moko duto chiemo, machiwo kar dak ne le mag bungu kendo ma winy mafuyo e kor polo e in.
22 it is thou, O king, who art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
Ruoth isebedo maduongʼ kendo maratego; humbi osemedore mochopo e kor polo, kendo lochni ochweyo nyaka aa tungʼ piny koni gi koni.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the heavens, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be bathed with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him:
“Yaye ruoth, ne ineno malaika ma jarit koa e polo, kawacho ni, ‘Tongʼ yien-no oko kendo ilwer bedene, to osiki odongʼ ei lowo, kitweyo gi nyinyo kod mula, e dier lum madongo e bungu. We mondo thoo omiye ngʼich kendo odag gi le adier yiende mag piny kuom higni abiriyo.’
24 this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which cometh upon my lord the king:
“Yaye ruoth ma ruodha koro adwaro lokoni tiend leknino bende lekno nyiso bura ma Jal Man Malo Mogik osengʼadoni.
25 They shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and thou shalt be bathed with the dew of heaven; and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
Ibiro riembi e dier ji kendo ibiro dak gi le mager; ibiro chamo lum kaka dhiangʼ, kendo thoo biro miyi ngʼich. Ma notimreni kuom higni abiriyo manyaka ingʼe ni Jal Man Malo Mogik nigi teko ewi pinjeruodhi duto, kendo ochiwogi ne ngʼato angʼata ma chunye ohero.
26 And whereas it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom shall remain unto thee, after that thou shalt know that the heavens do rule.
Chik mane ogol mondo owe osiki mar yien gi tiendene nyiso ni pinyruodhi ibiro duogni chiengʼ ma iniyie ni polo ema nigi loch.
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
Emomiyo, yie iti gi rieko ma angʼadoni, yaye ruoth: Lokri iwe richoni itim gima kare, kendo we timbeni maricho ibed mangʼwon ne joma ithiro. Kitimo kamano, to dipo ka omedni ndalo mag ngima maber.”
28 All this came upon king Nebuchadnezzar.
Gigi duto notimore ne ruoth Nebukadneza.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking upon the royal palace of Babylon:
Bangʼ dweche apar gariyo, kane ruoth wuotho ewi ode mamalo e piny Babulon,
30 the king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?
nowacho niya, “Ma donge e Babulon maduongʼ masegero gi tekra kod nyalona kaka kar dakna mondo onyis duongʼ mar lochna?”
31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the heavens: King Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee;
Kane pok ruoth otieko wuoyo, dwol noa e polo kawacho niya, “Yaye ruoth Nebukadneza gima biro timoreni en ni pinyruodhi osemayi.
32 and they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
Ibiro riembi ia kuom ji kendo ibiro dak gi le mager; kichamo lum gi dhogi ka dhiangʼ kuom higni abiriyo kendo iningʼe ni Jal Man Malo Mogik nigi teko ewi pinjeruodhi duto kendo ochiwogi ni ngʼato angʼata mohero.”
33 The same hour was the word fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar; and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen; and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, till his hair grew like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like birds' [claws].
To mana gie sechego gik mane owachi kuom Nebukadneza notimore. Noriembe oa kuom ji kendo nochamo lum gi dhoge ka dhiangʼ. Tho noloko dende mangʼich mi yie wiye nodongo ka yie ongo kendo kokene nodongo maboyo machal gi kok winyo.
34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto the heavens, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation.
Bangʼ ka higni abiriyogo noserumo, an Nebukadneza nangʼiyo polo, kendo pacha noduogo kare. Eka napako Jal Man Malo Mogik, mangima manyaka chiengʼ kamiye luor kod duongʼ kendo napake.
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of the heavens, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
Ogendini duto manie piny
36 At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my nobles sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me.
E sa ma pacha noduogeno, duongʼna gi lichna bende noduogna mondo pinyruodha ochak obed gi duongʼ. Jongʼadna rieko kod jodonga nomanya, kendo nochak oketa e lochna mi nabedo gi duongʼ moloyo kaka nachalo chon.
37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of the heavens, all whose works are truth, and his paths judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Koro an Nebukadneza, apako, adendo kendo amiyo Ruodh Polo duongʼ, nikech gik moko duto motimo nikare kendo yorene duto oriere tir. To joma wuotho ka sungore to odwoko piny.
