Daniel 4
1 "Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.
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 has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me.
Porongo ma nga ac fahk ke ouiya sakirik ac usrnguk su God Fulatlana El akkalemye nu sik.
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.
“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 at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
“Nga, Nebuchadnezzar, tuh muta arulana misla inkul sik, ac insewowokin kasrup luk.
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
Tusruktu nga tuh oru sie mweme na aksangeng, ac liye kutu aruruma su nga arulana tuninfongla kac ke nga motul.
6 Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
Nga tuh sapkin in utukeni mwet kasru fulat nukewa in acn Babylon elos in tuh fahkma nu sik kalmen mweme sac.
7 Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.
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 But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, saying,
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 the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
“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 Thus were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and look, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.
“Ke nga tuh motul ah, nga arurumai soko sak na lulap su tu infulwen faclu.
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to the sky, and it could be seen anywhere on earth.
Sak soko inge kap na kap nwe ke na sun acn elucng, ac mwet faclu nufon ku in liye.
12 The leaves of it were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
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 I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and look, a watcher and a holy one came down from the sky.
“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 aloud, and said this, "Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit. Let the animals get away from under it, and the fowls 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 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth.
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 be changed from man's, and let an animal's mind be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.
Ke lusen yac itkosr el ac fah tia nunak oana mwet uh, a el ac nunak oana kosro uh.
17 The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision is a command of the holy ones; so that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to anyone he wants, and sets up over it the lowliest of men.
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 dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation. But you are able, for 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 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, Belteshazzar, "Do not let the dream, or the interpretation, trouble you." Belteshazzar answered, "My lord, the dream concerns those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries.
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 that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the sky, and its sight to all the earth;
Sak soko ma arulana fulat ac sun acn elucg ingan, ku in liyeyuk sin mwet nukewa fin faclu.
21 whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky had their habitation.
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 It is you, O king, that are grown and become strong; for your greatness is grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the most distant part 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 Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, 'Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him.
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 the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come on 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 that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
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 Whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be restored to you. After that you shall have known that the heavens do rule.
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 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of your prosperity."
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 All this came on the king Nebuchadnezzar.
Ma inge nukewa sikyak nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.
Malem na singoul luo tukun ma inge, ke el forfor fin acn lucng ke lohm sel in Babylon,
30 The king spoke and said, "Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?"
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 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the sky, saying, "O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken. The kingdom has departed 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 and you shall be driven from men; and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field; you shall be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he wants."
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 The same hour was the thing fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until his hair was grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' 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 "At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever. For his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.
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 All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing; and he does according to his will in the host of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or tell him, "What have you done?"
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 At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me; and my counselors and my lords sought me out; and I was reinstated over my kingdom, and even more greatness was added to me.
“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 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble."
“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.”
