Daniel 4
1 King Nebuchadnezzar, to people of every nation and language in the whole world: I wish you well!
Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el supwalik sap soko inge nu sin mwet in mutunfacl nukewa ac kain kas nukewa fin faclu, su fahk ouinge: “Paing kowos!
2 It is my pleasure to share with you an account of the signs and wonders the Most High God has done for me.
Porongo ma nga ac fahk ke ouiya sakirik ac usrnguk su God Fulatlana El akkalemye nu sik.
3 His signs are incredible. His wonders are amazing! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and his rule will last for all generations!
“Fuka yokiyen ma usrnguk God El ikasla nu sesr! Fuka lupan kuiyen mwenmen ma El oru! God El tokosra nwe tok ma pahtpat. El ac fah leum fin ma nukewa in pacl nukewa!
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was doing well at home, living happily in my palace.
“Nga, Nebuchadnezzar, tuh muta arulana misla inkul sik, ac insewowokin kasrup luk.
5 But then one night I had a dream that really scared me—I saw visions that terrified me while I lay in my bed.
Tusruktu nga tuh oru sie mweme na aksangeng, ac liye kutu aruruma su nga arulana tuninfongla kac ke nga motul.
6 So I ordered all the wise men of Babylon brought before me to explain the dream to me.
Nga tuh sapkin in utukeni mwet kasru fulat nukewa in acn Babylon elos in tuh fahkma nu sik kalmen mweme sac.
7 When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners came in I told them the dream, but they couldn't explain to me what it meant.
Na mwet susfa, mwet inutnut, mwet mwenmen, ac mwet lutlut ke ma oan yen engyeng uh nukewa utukeni, ac nga fahkang nu selos mweme se luk ah, a elos tia ku in aketeya nu sik.
8 In the end Daniel came before me and I told him the dream. (He is also called Belteshazzar after my god, and he has the spirit of the holy gods in him.)
Na Daniel el utyak. (Itukyang pac inel Belteshazzar, tuh elan us inen god se luk.) Ngunin god mutal uh oan in el, na nga fahkak mweme se luk ah nu sel. Nga fahk ouinge nu sel:
9 “Belteshazzar, chief of magicians,” I said, “I certainly know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is difficult for you to explain. So tell me about what I saw in my dream and explain what it means.
“Belteshazzar, su fulat inmasrlon mwet susfa uh, nga etu lah ngunin god mutal uh oan in kom, ac kom etu ma lukma nukewa. Pa inge mweme se luk uh. Fahkma lah mea kalmac uh.
10 As I lay in bed dreaming, I saw a tree in the middle of the earth—a really large tree.
“Ke nga tuh motul ah, nga arurumai soko sak na lulap su tu infulwen faclu.
11 It grew strong and tall, reaching high into the sky so it could be seen by everyone in the whole world.
Sak soko inge kap na kap nwe ke na sun acn elucng, ac mwet faclu nufon ku in liye.
12 Its leaves were beautiful, and it was full of fruit for all to eat. Wild animals rested in its shade, and birds nested in its branches. It fed all living creatures.
Sra kac uh arulana kato, ac fahko kac arulana ungung, fal in kiteya mwet faclu nufon. Kosro lemnak uh mongla ye lulin sak uh, won uh orala ahng lalos ke lesak uh, ac kain in ma moul nukewa mongo ke fokin sak soko inge.
13 As I went on dreaming, lying on my bed, I saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven.
“Ke nga srakna nunku ke aruruma se inge, nga liye sie mwet na mutal oatume inkusrao me, su arulana liyaten in ma nukewa.
14 He cried out in a loud voice, ‘Cut down the tree and chop off its branches! Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit! Drive the animals away from its shade, and scare off the birds from its branches.
Ac el fahkak ke sie pusra lulap, ‘Pakiya sak soko an, ac wotela lah kac an; yolla sra kac, ac sisalik fahko an. Lusak kosro ingan liki ye sak soko an, ac won uh liki lesak an.
15 But leave the stump and its roots in the ground, and bind it with iron and bronze, surrounded by the new grass of the field. Let him become soaked with the dew of heaven, and let him live with the animals outside in the undergrowth.
Ac filiya sruen sak sacn in oanna infohk uh, ac loseni ke mwe lohl orekla ke osra iron ac bronze. Filiya in oanna ke mah inima uh. “‘Na lela aunfong uh in sroksrokkinya mwet se inge, ac lela elan muta inmasrlon kosro lemnak uh, ac sak inima uh.
16 Let his mind become like that of an animal. Let him be like this for seven times.
Ke lusen yac itkosr el ac fah tia nunak oana mwet uh, a el ac nunak oana kosro uh.
17 This is the decree conveyed by the watchers, the verdict declared by the holy ones in order that everyone alive may know that the Most High rules over human kingdoms. He gives them to whoever he chooses—he puts the most humble individuals in charge.’
Pa inge ma lipufan liyaten ac asmak uh wotela uh. Ke ma inge lela mwet in acn nukewa in etu lah oasr ku lun God Fulatlana fin tokosrai nukewa lun mwet uh, ac El ku in eisalosyang nu sin kutena mwet ma El lungse eisalosyang nu se — finne mwet ma pilesreyuk oemeet uh.’”
18 This is what I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw in my dream. Now it's up to you, Belteshazzar, to give me the explanation as you have before. None of the wise men in my kingdom could explain it to me. But you can, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
Ac Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el fahk, “Pa inge mweme se luk ah. Inge, Belteshazzar, fahkma lah mea kalmac uh. Wangin sie sin mwet kasru luk inge ku in akkalemye nu sik, a kom ku mweyen ngunin god mutal uh oan in kom.”
19 When Daniel (also called Belteshazzar) heard this, he was upset for a while, disturbed as he thought about it. The king told him, “Belteshazzar, don't be worried about the dream and what it means.” “My lord, I only wish this dream was for those who hate you and the explanation for your enemies,” Daniel replied.
Ke ma inge, Daniel su oayapa pangpang Belteshazzar, el arulana lut ac koflana fahk kutena ma. Na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Belteshazzar, nimet lela mweme sac, ku kalmen mweme sac in akfohsye kom.” Belteshazzar el topuk ac fahk, “O Tokosra, nga kena tuh mweme sac ac aketeya kac uh in ma nu sin mwet lokoalok lom, ac in tia ma nu sum.
20 “The tree you saw was growing strong and tall, reaching high into the sky so it could be seen by everyone in the whole world.
Sak soko ma arulana fulat ac sun acn elucg ingan, ku in liyeyuk sin mwet nukewa fin faclu.
21 Its leaves were beautiful, and it was full of fruit for all to eat. Wild animals lived under its shade, and birds nested in its branches.
Sra kac uh arulana kato, ac fahko uh ku in kiteya mwet fin faclu nufon. Kosro lemnak uh mongla ye lulin sak soko ah, ac won uh orek ahng ke lesak uh.
22 This is you, Your Majesty. You have grown strong, your power has become so great that it has reached high into the sky, and your rule extends to the ends of the earth.
“O Tokosra, kom pa sak soko ma arulana fulat ac fokoko inge. Kom kapak nwe arulana fulat, oru kom sun acn elucng, ac ku lom uh fahsrelik nu fin faclu nufon.
23 Then Your Majesty saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven who said, ‘Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump and its roots in the ground, and bind it with iron and bronze, surrounded by the new grass of the field. Let him become soaked with the dew of heaven and let him live with the animals outside in the undergrowth. Let his mind become like that of an animal. Let him be like this for seven times.’
Ke Tokosra srakna intoein ma inge, lipufan se oatui inkusrao me ac fahk, ‘Pakiya sak soko an ac kunausla, tusruk filiya srua an in oanna. Loseni ke sie mwe lohl ma orekla ke osra iron ac bronze, ac filiya in oanna ke mah inima uh. Lela aunfong uh in sroksrokkinya mwet se inge, ac lela elan mutana inmasrlon kosro lemnak uh ke yac itkosr.’
24 This is what it means, Your Majesty, and what the Most High has decreed will happen to my lord the king.
“O Tokosra, pa inge kalmen mweme sac, ac pa inge ma God Fulatlana El fahk mu ac sikyak nu sum uh.
25 You will be driven away from human society and you will live with the wild animals. You will eat grass like the cattle, and you will be soaked with the dew of heaven. You will be like this for seven times until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over human kingdoms, and that he gives them to those he chooses.
Ac fah lillilyak kom liki inmasrlon mwet uh, ac kom fah muta inmasrlon kosro lemnak uh. Ke lusen yac itkosr kom ac fah mongo mah oana soko ox, ac motul inima uh, yen kom ac aksroksrokyeyuk ke aunfong uh. Tukun ma inge, kom ac fah fahk lah pwaye God Fulatlana El nununku tokosrai nukewa lun mwet uh, ac El ku in sang tokosrai nu sin kutena mwet El lungse sang nu se.
26 However, as it was decreed, the stump and its roots were to be left in the ground. Your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules.
Lipufan sac tuh sapkin mu sruen sak sac in fili in oanna infohk uh. Kalmac pa kom ac sifilpa tokosrala tukun kom akilenak lah God El leumi faclu nufon.
27 So, Your Majesty, please take my advice. Stop sinning and do what's right. End your iniquities and be merciful to the oppressed. Maybe then things will continue to go well for you.”
Ke ma inge, O Tokosra, oru oana ma nga ac fahk nu sum uh. Nimet kom sifil oru ma koluk, a oru ma wo ac kulang nu sin mwet sukasrup. Kom fin oru ouinge, na ac srakna wo ouiyom.”
28 (However, all this did happen to King Nebuchadnezzar.
Ma inge nukewa sikyak nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar.
29 Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace in Babylon.
Malem na singoul luo tukun ma inge, ke el forfor fin acn lucng ke lohm sel in Babylon,
30 He said, “I was the one who built this great city of Babylon! By my own great power I built it as my royal residence for my majestic glory!”
el fahk, “Liye oaskuiyen acn Babylon! Nga musaela tuh in pa siti fulat in tokosrai luk, in akkalemye wal, ku, wolana, ac fulatlana luk.”
31 The words were still on the king's lips when a voice came from heaven, “King Nebuchadnezzar, this is what is decreed concerning you: the kingdom has been taken away from you.
Soenna safla ma el fahk uh, na sie pusra kasla inkusrao me ac fahk, “Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, porongo ma nga ac fahk uh! Inge wal in tokosra lom itukla liki kom.
32 You will be driven away from human society and you will live with the wild animals. You will eat grass like the cattle, and you will become soaked with the dew of heaven. You will be like this for seven times until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over human kingdoms, and that he gives them to whoever he chooses.”
Ac fah lisyukyak kom liki inmasrlon mwet uh, ac kom fah muta inmasrlon kosro lemnak, ac mongo mah oana soko ox ke lusen yac itkosr. Tukun pacl sacn, na kom ac fah akilenak lah pwaye oasr ku lun God Fulatlana fin tokosrai nukewa lun mwet uh, ac El ku in sang tokosrai uh nu sin kutena mwet El lungse sang nu se.”
33 Immediately the decree was fulfilled, and Nebuchadnezzar was driven away from human society. He ate grass like the cattle, and his body was soaked with the dew of heaven. His hair grew matted like a vulture, and his nails like bird claws.)
In kitin pacl ah na kas inge akpwayeiyuk. Nebuchadnezzar el lisyukyak liki inmasrlon mwet uh, ac mongo mah oana soko ox. Aunfong uh aksroksrokye manol, ac unac kacl uh loeselik oana unen eagle uh, ac tokinpaol loes oana tokinnien won uh.
34 Once the time had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven and my sanity returned to me. I blessed and praised the Most High and worshiped the One who lives forever. His rule is an eternal rule, and his kingdom lasts for all generations.
Tokosra el fahk, “Ke safla yac itkosr ah, nga ngetak nu inkusrao ac sifil kalemak nunak luk. Nga kaksakin God Fulatlana, ac sang sunak ac wolana nu sel su moul nwe tok. “El fah leumi ma nukewa nwe tok ma pahtpat, Ac ac fah wangin safliyen tokosrai lal.
35 Everyone who lives on earth are as nothing compared to him. He does whatever he chooses among the heavenly host and among those who live on earth. No one can hold him back from what he does, or ask him, “What are you doing?”
El ngeta liye mwet fin faclu oana ma lusrongten; Lipufan inkusrao ac mwet fin faclu Muta ye ku lal. Wangin sie mwet ku in lain lungse lal. Ku kusen siyuk ke ma El oru.
36 When my sanity returned, then my kingdom, majesty, and splendor also returned to me. My advisors and nobles came looking for me, and I was restored as ruler over my kingdom, even greater than before.
“Ke pacl ma sifil kalemak nunak luk, na folokinyukme sunak, wal fulat luk ac wolana nukewa lun tokosrai luk. Mwet pwapa fulat luk ac mwet leum elos paingyu, ac wal fulat luk folokinyukme yohk liki na meet ah.
37 So now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, honor, and glorify the King of Heaven, for everything he does is right, and his ways are true. He is able to humble those who are proud.
“Ac inge, nga, Nebuchadnezzar, sunakin, kaksakin, ac akfulatye Tokosra in Kusrao. Ma nukewa El oru uh pwaye ac suwohs, ac El ku in akpusiselyela kutena mwet su inse fulat in orekma lal.”
