Daniel 4
1 Nebuchad-nezzar King vnto all people, nations and languages, that dwell in all the world, Peace be multiplied vnto 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 I thought it good to declare the signes and wonders, that the hie God hath wrought toward me.
En morna mondo anyisu kuom honni gi ranyisi miwuoro ma Nyasaye Mamalo Mogik osetimona.
3 How great are his signes, and how mightie are his wonders! his kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
Mano kaka ranyisi mage dongo,
4 I Nebuchad-nezzar being at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace,
An Nebukadneza, noyudo ka an e dalana mar loch ka adhi maber kendo achano mwanduna.
5 Saw a dreame, which made me afraide, and the thoughtes vpon my bed, and the visions of mine head troubled me.
Kane oyudo anindo e kitandana, ne aleko lek mane obwoga, omiyo ne abedo gi luoro ahinya.
6 Therefore made I a decree, that they should bring all the wise men of Babel before mee, that they might declare vnto me the interpretation of the dreame.
Kuom mano nagolo chik mondo okel jomariek duto mag Babulon e nyima mondo olokna tiend lekno.
7 So came the inchanters, the astrologians, the Caldeans and the sothsayers, to whom I tolde the dreame, but they could 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 at the last Daniel came before mee, (whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, which hath the spirite of the holy gods in him) and before him I tolde the dreame, saying,
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, chiefe of the enchanters, because I know, that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell mee the visions of my dreame, that I haue seene and the interpretation thereof.
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 mine head in my bed. And beholde, I sawe a tree in the middes of the earth and the height thereof 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 A great tree and strong, and the height thereof reached vnto heauen, and the sight thereof to the endes 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 The boughes thereof were faire and the fruite thereof much, and in it was meate for all: it made a shadow vnder it for the beastes of the fielde, and the foules of the heauen dwelt in the boughes thereof, and all flesh fedde 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 sawe in the visions of mine head vpon my bed, and beholde, a watchman and an holy one came downe from heauen,
“Kane pod aparo lek mane aleko, to ne jaote mar Nyasaye obiro ka olor oa e polo.
14 And cried aloude, and said thus, Hew downe the tree, and breake off his branches: shake off his leaues, and scatter his fruite, that the beastes may flee from vnder it, and the foules from his 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 Neuerthelesse leaue the stumpe of his rootes in the earth, and with a band of yron and brasse binde it among the grasse of the fielde, and let it be wet with the dewe of heauen, and let his portion be with the beastes among the grasse of the fielde.
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 mans nature, and let a beasts heart be giuen vnto him, and let seuen times be passed ouer him.
Pache mondo olokre mi pogre gi pach dhano, to mondo omiye paro mar kit le moro, kuom higni abiriyo.
17 The sentence is according to the decree of the watchmen, and according to the word of the holy ones: the demaunde was answered, to the intent that liuing men may knowe, that the most High hath power ouer the kingdome of men, and giueth it to whomsoeuer he will, and appointeth ouer it the most abiect among 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 is the dreame, that I King Nebuchad-nezzar haue seene: therefore thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof: for all the wisemen of my kingdome are not able to shewe mee 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 was Belteshazzar) held his peace by the space of one houre, and his thoughts troubled him, and the King spake and said, Belteshazzar, let neither the dreame, nor the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and saide, My lord, the dreame be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof 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 was great and mightie, whose height reached vnto the heauen, and the sight thereof through all the world,
Yaye ruodha, yien mane ineno, mane odongo maduongʼ kendo motegno ma wiye ochopo e polo kendo nenore e piny ngima,
21 Whose leaues were faire and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meate for all, vnder the which the beastes of the fielde dwelt, and vpon whose branches the foules of the heauen did sit,
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, that art great and mightie: for thy greatnesse is growen, and reacheth vnto heauen, and thy dominion to the endes 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 Where as the King sawe a watchman, and an holy one, that came downe from heauen, and said, Hew downe the tree and destroy it, yet leaue the stumpe of the rootes thereof in the earth, and with a bande of yron and brasse binde it among the grasse of the fielde, and let it be wette with the dewe of heauen, and let his portion be with the beastes of the fielde, till seuen times passe ouer 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 is come vpon my lord the King,
“Yaye ruoth ma ruodha koro adwaro lokoni tiend leknino bende lekno nyiso bura ma Jal Man Malo Mogik osengʼadoni.
25 That they shall driue thee from men, and thy dwelling shalbe with the beasts of the fielde: they shall make thee to eate grasse as the oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dewe of heauen: and seuen times shall passe ouer thee, till thou knowe, that the most High beareth rule ouer the kingdome of men, and giueth it to whom so euer 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 Where as they sayd, that one should leaue the stumpe of the tree rootes, thy kingdome shall remaine vnto thee: after that, thou shalt knowe, that the heauens haue the 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 Wherefore, O King, let my counsell be acceptable vnto thee, and breake off thy sinnes by righteousnes, and thine iniquities by mercy toward the poore: lo, let there be an healing of thine errour.
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 shall come vpon the King Nebuchad-nezzar.
Gigi duto notimore ne ruoth Nebukadneza.
29 At the end of twelue moneths, he walked in the royall palace of Babel.
Bangʼ dweche apar gariyo, kane ruoth wuotho ewi ode mamalo e piny Babulon,
30 And the King spake and sayde, Is not this great Babel, that I haue built for the house of the kingdome by the might of my power, and for the honour of my maiestie?
nowacho niya, “Ma donge e Babulon maduongʼ masegero gi tekra kod nyalona kaka kar dakna mondo onyis duongʼ mar lochna?”
31 While the worde was in the Kings mouth, a voyce came downe from heauen, saying, O King Nebuchad-nezzar, to thee be it spoken, Thy kingdome 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 driue thee from men, and thy dwelling shalbe with the beastes of the fielde: they shall make thee to eate grasse, as the oxen, and seuen times shall passe ouer thee, vntill thou knowest, that the most High beareth rule ouer the kingdome of men, and giueth it vnto whomsoeuer 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 very same houre was this thing fulfilled vpon Nebuchad-nezzar, and hee was driuen from men, and did eate grasse as the oxen, and his body was wet with the dewe of heauen, till his heares were growen as eagles feathers, and his nailes like birds clawes.
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 ende of these dayes I Nebuchad-nezzar lift vp mine eyes vnto heauen, and mine vnderstanding was restored vnto me, and I gaue thankes vnto the most High, and I praysed and honoured him that liueth for euer, whose power is an euerlasting power, and his kingdome 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 according to his will he worketh in the armie of heauen, and in the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, nor say vnto him, What doest thou?
Ogendini duto manie piny
36 At the same time was mine vnderstanding restored vnto me, and I returned to the honour of my kingdome: my glory and my beautie was restored vnto me, and my counsellours and my princes sought vnto me, and I was established in my kingdome, and my glory was augmented toward 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 therefore I Nebuchad-nezzar prayse and extoll and magnifie the King of heauen, whose workes are all trueth, and his wayes iudgement, and those that walke 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.
