< Daniel 2 >

1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, dreamed hath Nebuchadnezzar dreams, and his spirit doth move itself, and his sleep hath been against him;
Ke yac se akluo in pacl Nebuchadnezzar el tokosra, el oru sie mweme. Yokla fohs lal kac, oru el kofla motul.
2 and the king saith to call for scribes, and for enchanters, and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they come in and stand before the king;
Ouinge el sapla solama mwet susfa lal, mwet inutnut, mwet sramsram nu sin inut, ac mwet mwenmen lal in tuku ac aketeya mweme sac nu sel. Ke elos tuku ac tu ye mutun tokosra,
3 and the king saith to them, 'A dream I have dreamed, and moved is my spirit to know the dream.'
el fahk nu selos, “Nga arulana fohsak ke mweme se nga oru. Nga ke etu lah mea kalmac.”
4 And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaean, 'O king, to the ages live, tell the dream to thy servants, and the interpretation we do shew.'
Elos topuk tokosra ke kas Aramaic, “Lela in loes moul lun tokosra! Fahkma nu sesr mweme sacn, ac kut ac fah aketeya nu sum.”
5 The king hath answered and said to the Chaldeans, 'The thing from me is gone; if ye do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, pieces ye are made, and your houses are made dunghills;
Ac tokosra el fahk nu selos, “Nga sulela tari mu komtal ac fahkma nu sik mweme sac, na aketeya lah mea kalmac. Komtal fin tia ku, nga ac sap in sreyuki monumtal nu ke ip srisrik, ac lohm sumtal an in rakinyuki nwe ke orala yol in kutkut.
6 and if the dream and its interpretation ye do shew, gifts, and fee, and great glory ye receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation shew ye me.'
A komtal fin fahkma nu sik mweme sac oayapa kalmac, na nga ac fah akfulatye komtal ac sot mwe moul yohk. Kwal, fahkma lah mea mweme sac, ac mea kalmac.”
7 They have answered a second time, and are saying, 'Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and the interpretation we do shew.
Elos sifilpa topkol tokosra ac fahk, “Leum lasr fin fahkma na lah mweme fuka se, na kut ac fah akkalemye kalmac an.”
8 The king hath answered and said, 'Of a truth I know that time ye are gaining, because that ye have seen that the thing is gone from me,
Ke elos fahk ouinge ah, na tokosra el liksreni na fahk, “Ma na nga nunku ah ingan! Komtal suk na ma in eisla pacl, mweyen komtal etu na lah nga akola
9 [so] that, if the dream ye do not cause me to know — one is your sentence, seeing a word lying and corrupt ye have prepared to speak before me, till that the time is changed, therefore the dream tell ye to me, then do I know that its interpretation ye do shew me.'
in sot nu sumtal lupan kaiyuk sefanna komtal fin tia fahkma kalmen mweme sac. Komtal pwapani komtal in tuku fahk kas kikiap in sisla pacl, mweyen komtal nunku mu nga ac ku in ekulla ma nga fahk uh. Fahkma lah mea mweme sac, na nga ac etu lah komtal ac ku in aketeya pac kalmac uh nu sik.”
10 The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are saying, 'There is not a man on the earth who is able to shew the king's matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, hath asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean;
Ac mwet kasru fulat inge topuk ac fahk, “Wangin sie mwet fin faclu nufon ac ku in fahkot nu sin tokosra ma kom ke etu an. Wangin sie tokosra, finne tokosra se ma pwengpeng, ku yohk oemeet ku la, nu oru kain sap upa se ingan nu sin mwet susfa lal, mwet inutnut, ac mwet mwenmen lal.
11 and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and others are there not that do shew it before the king, save the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.'
Ma tokosra siyuk ingan arulana upa, oru wangin mwet ku in fahkot nu sin tokosra sayen god uh, a god inge tia muta inmasrlon mwet uh.”
12 Therefore the king hath been angry and very wroth, and hath said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;
Ke elos fahk ouinge, tokosra el foloyak, ac sap in anwukla nufon mwet kasru fulat lal in acn Babylon.
13 And the sentence hath gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
Ouinge sapkakinyuk tuh in anwuki elos nufon, welulang pac Daniel ac mwet kawuk lal ah.
14 Then Daniel hath replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who hath gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.
Na Daniel el som nu yorol Arioch, su leum fin mwet karinginyal tokosra, su itukyang kunal in uniya mwet inge. Daniel el arulana sulela wo kas elan fahk,
15 He hath answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, 'Wherefore [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?' Then Arioch hath made the thing known to Daniel,
ac el siyuk sel Arioch lah efu ku tokosra el orala ma sap na upa se inge. Ouinge Arioch el aketeya nu sel Daniel ma sikyak uh.
16 and Daniel hath gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to shew the interpretation to the king.
In pacl sacna Daniel el som ac eis ku sin mwet fulat lun inkul uh in kolla kutu srisrik pacl uh, elan ku in akkalemye nu sin tokosra kalmen mweme sah.
17 Then Daniel to his house hath gone, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he hath made the thing known,
Na Daniel el folokla nu yen el muta we, ac fahk nu sin mwet kawuk lal, Hananiah, Mishael, ac Azariah ke ma su sikyak inge.
18 and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret, that they destroy not Daniel and his companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
El fahk nu selos in pre nu sin God inkusrao tuh Elan pakoten nu selos ac ikasla kalmen ma lukma se inge nu selos, tuh elos fah tia anwuki wi mwet kasru fulat saya in acn Babylon.
19 Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret hath been revealed. Then hath Daniel blessed the God of the heavens.
Na in fong sacna ma lukma se inge ikakla nu sel Daniel in sie aruruma, ac el kaksakin God inkusrao, ac fahk,
20 Daniel hath answered and said, 'Let the name of God be blessed from age even unto age, for wisdom and might — for they are His.
“God El lalmwetmet ac kulana! Kaksakunul nwe tok ma pahtpat.
21 And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.
El nununku pacl uh ac ekyek lun pulan pacl uh; El tulokunak ac ikruiya tokosra uh; El pa sang etauk ac lalmwetmet.
22 He is revealing deep and hidden things; He hath known what [is] in darkness, and light with Him hath dwelt.
El ikasla kalmen ma lukma ac ma loal kalmac; El etu ma su oan wikla in lohsr uh, Ac El sifacna rauniyukla ke kalem.
23 Thee, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might Thou hast given to me; and now, Thou hast caused me to know that which we have sought from Thee, for the king's matter Thou hast caused us to know.'
Nga kaksakin kom ac akfulatye kom, God lun mwet matu luk. Kom ase ku nu sik ac etauk luk; Kom topokma pre luk, Ac akkalemye nu sesr ma kut in fahk nu sin tokosra.”
24 Therefore Daniel hath gone up unto Arioch, whom the king hath appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he hath gone, and thus hath said to him, 'The wise men of Babylon thou dost not destroy, bring me up before the king, and the interpretation to the king I do shew.'
Na Daniel el som nu yorol Arioch, su tuh supweyuk in uniya mwet kasru fulat lun tokosra inge, ac el fahk nu sel, “Nimet kom onelosla. Usyula nu yorol tokosra ac nga fah fahkang nu sel kalmen mweme se lal ah.”
25 Then Arioch in haste hath brought up Daniel before the king, and thus hath said to him — 'I have found a man of the sons of the Removed of Judah, who the interpretation to the king doth make known.'
Kitin pacl ah na Arioch el usalak Daniel nu ye mutal tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Nga konauk sie sin mwet Israel ma wi sruoh, su ac ku in fahkak nu sin tokosra kalmen mweme se lom.”
26 The king hath answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, 'Art thou able to cause me to know the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?'
Na tokosra el fahk nu sel Daniel (su oayapa pangpang Belteshazzar), “Kom ku in fahkma mweme se luk ah, ac aketeya lah mea kalmac?”
27 Daniel hath answered before the king and said, 'The secret that the king is asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the scribes, the soothsayers, are not able to shew to the king;
Ac Daniel el topuk, “O Tokosra, wangin mwet mwenmen, mwet inutnut, mwet susfa, ku mwet tuni ma oan yen engyeng uh, su ac ku in fahkak nu sum ma se ingan.
28 but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. 'Thy dream and the visions of thy head on thy bed are these:
Tusruktu, oasr sie God inkusrao su ikasla ma lukma uh. El akkalemye nu sin Tokosra ma su ac sikyak in pacl fahsru uh. Ac inge nga ac fahkot mweme sacn, su kom arurumai ke kom motul.
29 Thou, O king, thy thoughts on thy bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets hath caused thee to know that which [is] to be.
“Ke pacl se tokosra tuh motul ah, tokosra mwemei ma ac sikyak in pacl tok uh; ac God, su ikasla kalmen ma lukma, El akkalemye ma ac sikyak uh.
30 As to me — not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living hath this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of thy heart thou dost know.
Ma lukma se inge akkalemyeyukme nu sik, tia ke sripen nga lalmwetmet liki kutena mwet, a tuh Tokosra in ku in etu kalmen mweme sac, ac in kalem ke nunak su sikyak nu sin tokosra.
31 'Thou, O king, wast looking, and lo, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing over-against thee, and its appearance [is] terrible.
“O Tokosra, in aruruma sac, tokosra tuh liye sie ma sruloala na yohk tu ye mutun tokosra — arulana kalem ac saromrom, ac mwe aksangeng in liyeyuk.
32 This image! its head [is] of good gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass;
Sifa ah orekla ke gold ma wo emeet; iniwa ah ac pao ah orek ke silver; ac infulwal nu ke intwel orekla ke bronze.
33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.
Nial orekla ke osra, ac falkal orekla ke osra ac fohk kle akulamisak.
34 Thou wast looking till that a stone hath been cut out without hands, and it hath smitten the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it hath broken them small;
Ke kom tuh ngetang liye ah, eot na lulap se tufwacla liki fin fulu se, a tia ma mwet moklela, twe sunna nia su orek ke osra ac kle, ac koteya.
35 then broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and carried them away hath the wind, and no place hath been found for them: and the stone that smote the image hath become a great mountain, and hath filled all the land.
In pacl sacna osra, kle, bronze, silver, ac gold nukewa kac ah mokutkuti, oana kulun wheat ma kulkulla ke pacl fol uh, ac ipsriki oana apat uh. Eng ah okla ma inge nufon ac tia sie ip kac lula. A eot sac yokelik nwe oana eol soko su afinya faclu nufon.
36 This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we do tell before the king.
“Pa inge mweme sac. Inge nga ac akkalemye nu sin tokosra kalmac uh.
37 'Thou, O king, art a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, hath given to thee;
O Tokosra, kom pa fulat oemeet sin tokosra nukewa uh. God inkusrao El orala tuh kom in tokosra fulat, ac El sot nu sum wal, ku, ac sunak.
38 and whithersoever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the fowl of the heavens, He hath given into thy hand, and hath caused thee to rule over them all; thou [art] this head of gold.
El orala tuh in kom pa leum fin acn nukewa faclu ma oasr mwet muta we, ac oayapa leum fin kosro ac won nukewa. Kom pa sifa se ma orekla ke gold inge.
39 And after thee doth rise up another kingdom lower than those, and another third kingdom of brass, that doth rule overall the earth.
Ac fah mau oasr pac sie tokosrai tukum, su ac tia arulana pwengpeng oana tokosrai se lom inge, ac toko ac oasr pac sie tokosrai aktolu, ma orekla ke bronze, su ac leumi faclu nufon.
40 And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all [things], even as iron that is breaking all these, it beateth small and breaketh.
Toko, ac oasr tokosrai se pac akakosr su ac fokoko oana osra uh. Tokosrai se ingan ac fah fukulya ac kunauselik tokosrai nukewa meet ah, oana ke osra uh ac fukulya ac kunauselik ma nukewa.
41 As to that which thou hast seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter's clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron [is] to be in it, because that thou hast seen the iron mixed with miry clay.
Kom tuh liye pac lah falkal ac kufinnial orekla ke fohk kle ac osra. Kalmac pa tokosrai se inge ac mau kitakatelik, na ku se la uh ac ku in srifal mweyen oasr osra ac fohk kle akulamisi kac.
42 As to the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle.
Kufinnial — su kutu ip uh osra ac kutu fohk kle — akkalemye lah tafu tokosrai se inge ac ku, ac tafu ac munas.
43 Because thou hast seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering one with another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
Kom oayapa liye lah osra ah akulamisi ke fohk kle. Kalmen ma se inge pa mwet leum ke tokosrai se inge ac srike in orani sou lalos in ma se lac ke elos ac oru mwet lalos uh in tukeni apayuki, tusruktu elos ac tia ku in orani, oana ke osra ac fohk kle tia ku in akonoki.
44 'And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed — to the age, and its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age.
In pacl lun mwet leum inge, God inkusrao El ac fah oakiya sie tokosrai su ac fah wangin saflaiya. Ac fah tiana ku in kutangyukla, a ac fah kunausla nufon tokosrai ingan, na ac fah oanna nwe tok.
45 Because that thou hast seen that out of the mountain cut hath been a stone without hands, and it hath beaten small the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation stedfast.
Kom tuh liye pac ke eot sac ipipla liki fin fulu sac a wanginna mwet mokleak, ac ke eot sac tukya ma sruloala sac ma orekla ke osra, bronze, fohk kle, silver ac gold. God fulat El fahk nu sum, O Tokosra, ma ac sikyak in pacl fahsru uh. Nga fahkot kewa ma kom mwemei, ac akkalemye pac nu sum kalmac uh.”
46 Then hath king Nebuchadnezzar fallen on his face, and to Daniel he hath done obeisance, and present, and sweet things, he hath said to pour out to him.
Na Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el pasrla nwe ten ac sapkin tuh in orek mwe kisa ac mwe sang nu sel Daniel.
47 The king hath answered Daniel and said, 'Of a truth [it is] that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou hast been able to reveal this secret.'
Tokosra el fahk, “God lom El fulat liki god nukewa. El Leum fin tokosra uh, ac El ikasla kalmen ma lukma. Nga etu ouinge mweyen kom ku in aketeya ma lukma se inge.”
48 Then the king hath made Daniel great, and many great gifts he hath given to him, and hath caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the perfects over all the wise men of Babylon.
Ouinge el akfulatyalak Daniel nu ke sie wal fulat, ac sang nu sel mwe lung na wowo puspis, ac oru elan leumi acn Babylon, ac oru tuh in el pa leum fin un mwet kasru fulat nukewa lun tokosra.
49 And Daniel hath sought from the king, and he hath appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.
Fal nu ke siyuk se lal Daniel, Tokosra el eisalang Shadrach, Meshach, ac Abednego in karingin mukuikui nukewa in acn Babylon; a Daniel el mutana inkul fulat sin tokosra.
