Daniel 2
1 In the second year of [his] reign Nabuchodonosor dreamed a dream, and his spirit was amazed, and his sleep departed from him.
E higa mar ariyo mar loch Nebukadneza, noleko lek mayoreyore, kendo lekgo nochando chunye ma omone nindo.
2 And the king gave orders to call the enchanters, and the magicians, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to declare to 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 to them, I have dreamed, and my spirit was 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 the Syrian language, [saying], O king, live for ever: do you tell the dream to your servants, and we will declare 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 the Chaldeans, The thing has departed from me: if you do not make known to me the dream and the interpretation, you shall be destroyed, and your houses shall be spoiled.
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 you make known to me the dream, and the interpretation thereof, you shall receive of me gifts and presents and much honor: only tell me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
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 the dream to his servants, and we will declare the interpretation.
To negichako gidwoke kendo niya, “Ruoth mondo onyis jotichne lek moseleko, eka wabiro nyise tiende.”
8 And the king answered and said, I verily know that you are trying to gain time, because you see that the thing has gone 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 If then you do not tell me the dream, I know that you have concerted to utter before me a false and corrupt tale, until the time shall have past: tell me my dream, and I shall know that you will also declare to me the interpretation thereof.
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 no man upon the earth, who shall be able to make known the king's matter: forasmuch as no great king or ruler asks such a question of an enchanter, 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 question which the king asks is difficult, and there is no one else who shall answer it before the king, but the gods, whose dwelling is not with any flesh.
Gima ruoth penjono tek ma ok nyalre. Onge ngʼama nyalo lero tiende ni ruoth, makmana nyiseche, to gin ok gidag gi ji.”
12 Then the king in rage and anger 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 So the decree went forth, and they began to kill the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to kill [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 captain of the royal guard, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon; [saying],
Ka Ariok, jatend askeche morito ruoth nosewuok oko mondo oneg joma riek mag Babulon, Daniel nowuoyo kode gi rieko kod paro matut.
15 Chief magistrate of the king, therefore has the preemptory command proceeded from the king? So Arioch made known the matter 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 entreated the king to give him time, and that he might [thus] declare to the king the interpretation of it.
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 So Daniel went into his house, and made known the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias, his friends.
Eka Daniel nodok e ode kendo nonyiso osiepene ma Hanania, Mishael kod Azaria wachno.
18 And they sought mercies from the God of heaven concerning this mystery; that Daniel and his friends might 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 the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night; and Daniel blessed the God of heaven, and said,
Otienono nonyis Daniel tiend midhierono e lek. Eka Daniel nopako Nyasach polo,
20 May the name of God be blessed from everlasting and to everlasting: for wisdom and understanding are his.
kowacho niya: Nying Nyasaye mondo opaki mochwere manyaka chiengʼ; nikech rieko kod teko gin mage.
21 And he changes times and seasons: he appoints kings, and removes [them], giving wisdom to the wise, and prudence to them that have 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 he reveals deep and secret [matters]; knowing what is in darkness, and the light is with him.
Ofwenyo gik matut kendo mopondo; ongʼeyo gima opondo e mudho, kendo ler odak kode.
23 I give thanks to you, and praise [you], O God of my fathers, for you has given me wisdom and power, and has made known to me the things which we asked of you; and you has made known to me the king's vision.
Agoyoni erokamano, kendo apaki, yaye Nyasach kwerena: Isemiya rieko gi teko, isemiyo angʼeyo gima ne wakwayi, isemiyo wangʼeyo tiend lek mar ruoth.
24 And Daniel came to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon, but bring me in before the king, and I will declare the interpretation to the king.
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 in haste brought in Daniel before the king, and said to him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judea, who will declare the interpretation to the king.
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 And the king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltasar, Canst you declare to me the dream which I saw, and the interpretation thereof?
Ruoth nopenjo Daniel (ma bende ne iluongo ni Belteshazar) niya, “Bende inyalo nyisa tiend gima ne aneno e lekna?”
27 And Daniel answered before the king, and said, The mystery which the king asks [the explanation of] is not [in the power] of the wise men, magicians, enchanters, [or] soothsayers to declare to 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 heaven revealing mysteries, and he has made known to king Nabuchodonosor what things must come to pass in the last days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, are as follows,
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 O king: your thoughts upon your bed arose [as to] what must come to pass hereafter: and he that reveals mysteries has made known to you what must 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 Moreover, this mystery has not been revealed to me by reason of wisdom which is in me beyond all [others] living, but for the sake of making known the interpretation to the king, that you might know the thoughts of your 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 You, O king, saw, and behold an image: that image was great, and the appearance of it excellent, standing before your face; and the form of it was terrible.
“Kane ingʼicho, yaye ruoth, to ne ineno e nyimi kido moro maduongʼ marieny kendo malich kineno.
32 [It was] an image, the head of which was of fine gold, its hands and breast and arms of silver, [its] belly and 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 earthenware.
ogwendene nolos gi chuma, to tiendene nolos gi chuma mokikore gi lowo mowangʼ.
34 You saw until a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it struck the image upon its feet of iron and earthenware, and utterly reduced them to powder.
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 once for all the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold, were ground to powder, and became as chaff from the summer threshing floor; and the violence of the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them: and the stone which had struck the image became a great mountain, and filled all the 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 thereof before the king.
“Mano e lekno, kendo koro wabiro loke ne ruoth.
37 You, O king, are a king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given a powerful and strong and honorable kingdom,
Yaye ruoth, in e ruoth mar ruodhi. Nyasach polo asemiyi loch gi teko gi nyalo kod duongʼ;
38 in every place where the children of men dwell: and he has given into your hand the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, and he has made you lord of all.
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 You are the head of gold. And after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, an a third kingdom which is the brass, which shall have dominion 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 a fourth kingdom, which shall be strong as iron: as iron beats to powder and subdues all things, so shall it beat to powder and subdue.
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 you saw the feet and the toes, part of earthenware and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet there shall be in it of the strength of iron, as you saw the iron mixed with earthenware.
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 [whereas] the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of earthenware, part of the kingdom shall be strong, and [part] of it shall be broken.
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 Whereas you saw the iron mixed with earthenware, they shall be mingled with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave together, as the iron does not mix itself with earthenware.
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 those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and his kingdom shall not be left to another people, [but] it shall beat to pieces and grind to powder all [other] kingdoms, and it 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 Whereas you saw that a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it beat to pieces the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold; the great God has made known to the king what must happen hereafter: and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof 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 Nabuchodonosor fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and gave orders to offer to him gifts and incense.
Eka ruoth Nebukadneza nopodho piny auma e nyim Daniel mi nomiye duongʼ kendo nogolo chik mondo otimne misango kendo oket ubani e nyime.
47 And the king answered and said to Daniel, Of a truth your God is a God of gods, and Lord of kings, who reveals mysteries; for you has been able to reveal this mystery.
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 And the king promoted Daniel, and gave him great and abundant gifts, and set him over the whole province of Babylon, and [made him] chief satrap 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 asked of the king, and he appointed Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the king's palace.
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.
