Daniel 4
1 Nabuchodonosor the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues, 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 The most high God hath wrought signs and wonders toward me. It hath seemed good to me therefore to publish
En morna mondo anyisu kuom honni gi ranyisi miwuoro ma Nyasaye Mamalo Mogik osetimona.
3 His signs, because they are great: and his wonders, because they are mighty: and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, I and his power to all generations.
Mano kaka ranyisi mage dongo,
4 I, Nabuchodonosor, 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 that affrighted me: and my thoughts in 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 Then I set forth a decree, that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought in before me, and that they should shew 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 diviners, the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and I told the dream before them: but they did not shew me the interpretation thereof:
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 Till their colleague Daniel came in before me, whose name is Baltassar, according to the name of my god, who hath in him the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him.
Mogik, Daniel nobiro e nyima kendo ne anyise leknano. (Daniel iluongo gi nying nyasacha ni Belteshazar, kendo chuny mar nyiseche maler ni kuome.)
9 Baltassar, prince of the diviners, because I know that thou hast in thee the spirit of the holy gods, and that no secret is impossible to thee: tell me the visions of my dreams that I have seen, and the interpretation of them.
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 This was the vision of my head in my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was exceeding 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 was great, and strong: and the height thereof reached unto heaven: the sight thereof was even to the ends 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 most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much: and in it was food for all: under it dwelt cattle, and beasts, and in the branches thereof the fowls of the air had their abode: and all flesh did eat of 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 vision of my head upon my bed, and behold a watcher, and a holy one came down from heaven.
“Kane pod aparo lek mane aleko, to ne jaote mar Nyasaye obiro ka olor oa e polo.
14 He cried aloud, and said thus: Cut down the tree, and chop off the branches thereof: shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruits: let the beasts fly away that are 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, and let it be tied with a band of iron, and of brass, among the grass, that is without, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the wild 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 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 is the decree by the sentence of the watchers, and the word And demand of the holy ones; till the living know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men; and he will give it to whomsoever it shall please him, and he will appoint the basest man over it.
“‘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 I king Nabuchodonosor saw this dream: thou, therefore, O Baltassar, tell me quickly the interpretation: for all the wise men of my kingdom axe not able to declare the meaning of it to me: but thou art able, because 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 was Baltassar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour: and his thoughts troubled him. But the king answering, said: Baltassar, let not the dream and the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Baltassar answered, and said: My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thy 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 which thou sawest which was high and strong, whose height reached to the skies, and the sight thereof into all tire earth:
Yaye ruodha, yien mane ineno, mane odongo maduongʼ kendo motegno ma wiye ochopo e polo kendo nenore e piny ngima,
21 And the branches thereof were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much, and in it was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and the birds of the air had their abode in its branches.
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 great and become mighty: for thy greatness hath grown, and hath reached to heaven, and thy power unto the ends 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 come down from heaven, and say: Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass among the grass without, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, 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 of the sentence of the most High, which is come 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 cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and with wild beasts, and thou shalt eat grass as an ox, and shalt be wet 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 But whereas he commanded, that the stump of the roots thereof, that is, of the tree, should be left: thy kingdom shall remain to thee after thou shalt have known that power is from heaven.
Chik mane ogol mondo owe osiki mar yien gi tiendene nyiso ni pinyruodhi ibiro duogni chiengʼ ma iniyie ni polo ema nigi loch.
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and redeem thou thy sins with alms, and thy iniquities with works of mercy to the poor: perhaps he will forgive thy offences.
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 these things came upon king Nabuchodonosor.
Gigi duto notimore ne ruoth Nebukadneza.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking in the palace of Babylon.
Bangʼ dweche apar gariyo, kane ruoth wuotho ewi ode mamalo e piny Babulon,
30 And the king answered, and said: Is not this the great Babylon, which I have built to be the seat of the kingdom, by the strength of my power, and in the glory of my excellence?
nowacho niya, “Ma donge e Babulon maduongʼ masegero gi tekra kod nyalona kaka kar dakna mondo onyis duongʼ mar lochna?”
31 And while the word was yet in the king’s mouth, a voice came down from heaven: To thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, it is said: Thy kingdom shall pass 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 cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and wild beasts: thou shalt eat grass like an ox, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in 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 the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor, and he was driven away from among men, and did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till his hairs grew like the feathers of eagles, 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 Now at the end of the days, I Nabuchodonosor lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my sense was restored to me: and I blessed the most High, and I praised and glorified him that liveth for ever: for his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is to all generations.
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 before him: for he doth according to his will, I as well with the powers of heaven, as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that can resist his hand, and say to him: Why hast thou done it?
Ogendini duto manie piny
36 At the same time my sense returned to me, and I came to the honour and glory of my kingdom: and my shape returned to me: and my nobles, and my magistrates sought for me, and I was restored to my kingdom: and greater majesty was added to 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 Therefore I Nabuchodonosor do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them 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.
