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;
Mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Nebukadduneeza, Nebukadduneeza n’aloota ekirooto; ne yeeraliikirira nnyo, n’otulo ne tumubula.
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;
Awo kabaka n’atumya abasawo, n’abafumu, n’abalaguzi n’Abakaludaaya okumutegeeza ekirooto kye yaloota. Ne bajja ne bayimirira mu maaso ga kabaka.
3 and the king saith to them, 'A dream I have dreamed, and moved is my spirit to know the dream.'
N’abagamba nti, “Naloota ekirooto ekimbuzizza otulo, njagala mukintegeeze n’amakulu gaakyo.”
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.'
Awo Abakaludaaya ne baddamu kabaka mu lulimi Olusuuli nti, “Ayi kabaka, owangaale emirembe gyonna! Buulira abaddu bo ekirooto, nabo banaakunnyonnyola amakulu gaakyo.”
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;
Kabaka n’addamu Abakaludaaya nti, “Kino kye nsazeewo; bwe mutantegeeze kirooto ekyo, n’amakulu gaakyo, nzija kulagira mutemebwetemebwe, era n’amayumba gammwe gamenyebwemenyebwe.
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.'
Kyokka bwe munaantegeeza ekirooto n’amakulu gaakyo, nnaabawa ebirabo, n’empeera, n’ekitiibwa kinene. Noolwekyo mumbuulire ekirooto n’amakulu gaakyo.”
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.
Ne bamuddamu nate nti, “Tubuulire ekirooto kyo, tusobole okukubuulira amakulu gaakyo.”
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,
Awo kabaka n’addamu nti, “Ntegeeredde ddala nga mwagala kufuna bbanga ddene, kubanga mutegedde nga kye nsazeewo mmaliridde okukikola,
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.'
era bwe mutantegeeze kirooto, ekibonerezo kiri kimu kyokka. Mwekobaanye okunnimba n’okumbuulira ebigambo ebikyamu, nga munsuubira okukyusa ku ndowooza yange. Kale nno, muntegeeze ekirooto, munnyinnyonnyole n’amakulu gaakyo.”
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;
Abakaludaaya ne baddamu kabaka nti, “Tewali muntu n’omu ku nsi ayinza okukola kabaka ky’asaba. Ate era tewabangawo kabaka ne bw’aba w’amaanyi atya oba wa buyinza atya, eyali asabye omulaguzi yenna newaakubadde omufumu yenna newaakubadde Omukaludaaya yenna ekintu ng’ekyo.
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.'
Kabaka ky’asaba kizibu nnyo. Tewali n’omu ayinza kukibikkulira kabaka, wabula bakatonda abatalina mubiri ogwa bulijjo.”
12 Therefore the king hath been angry and very wroth, and hath said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;
Ekigambo ekyo ne kisunguwaza nnyo kabaka, kyeyava alagira abagezigezi bonna mu Babulooni okuttibwa.
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.
Ekiragiro ne kiyita okutta abagezigezi bonna, era ne wabaawo abasajja abaatumibwa okunoonya Danyeri ne mikwano gye okubatta.
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.
Awo Danyeri n’asisinkana Aliyooki omuduumizi w’abakuumi ba kabaka, bwe yali ng’agenda okutta abagezigezi ab’e Babulooni; n’ayogera naye mu magezi n’obukalabakalaba,
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,
n’amubuuza nti, “Kyavudde ku ki kabaka okuwa ekiragiro eky’obukambwe bwe kityo?” Aliyooki n’annyonnyola Danyeri ensonga eyavaako ekyo.
16 and Daniel hath gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to shew the interpretation to the king.
Awo Danyeri n’alaga eri kabaka, n’asaba aweebwe ekiseera okwogera ne kabaka, alyoke amutegeeze amakulu g’ekirooto.
17 Then Daniel to his house hath gone, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he hath made the thing known,
Awo Danyeri n’addayo ewuwe, n’ategeeza mikwano gye Kananiya, ne Misayeri ne Azaliya,
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.
n’abagamba basabe Katonda ow’eggulu abalage ekisa ababikkulire amakulu ag’ekyama ekyo, ye ne banne baleme kuzikirizibwa wamu n’abagezigezi abalala ab’e Babulooni.
19 Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret hath been revealed. Then hath Daniel blessed the God of the heavens.
Mu kiro ekyo Danyeri n’afuna okwolesebwa ku kigambo ekyo, n’atendereza Katonda ow’eggulu.
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.
N’ayogera nti, “Erinnya lya Katonda litenderezebwenga emirembe n’emirembe, kubanga amagezi n’obuyinza bibye.
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.
Ategeera ebiseera n’ebiro; assaawo bakabaka era aggyawo bakabaka; awa amagezi abagezigezi, era n’okumanyisa abo abategeevu.
22 He is revealing deep and hidden things; He hath known what [is] in darkness, and light with Him hath dwelt.
Abikkula ebyama ebyakisibwa edda; amanyi ebifa mu nzikiza, n’ekitangaala kibeera naye.
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.'
Nkwebaza era nkutendereza, Ayi Katonda wa bajjajjange ompadde amagezi n’amaanyi, ombikkulidde ekyo kye twakusabye, otutegeezezza ekirooto kya kabaka.”
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.'
Awo Danyeri n’alaga eri Aliyooki, kabaka gwe yali alonze okuzikiriza abasajja abagezigezi aba Babulooni, n’amugamba nti, “Tozikiriza basajja bagezigezi ba Babulooni. Ntwala eri kabaka mmutegeeze amakulu g’ekirooto kye.”
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.'
Amangwago, Aliyooki n’atwala Danyeri eri kabaka, n’ategeeza kabaka nti, “Nsanze omusajja, omu ku baawaŋŋangusibwa okuva mu Yuda, asobola okutegeeza kabaka amakulu g’ekirooto kye.”
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?'
Kabaka n’abuuza Danyeri eyayitibwanga Berutesazza nti, “Oyinza okuntegeeza ekirooto kye nalabye, n’amakulu gaakyo?”
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;
Danyeri n’addamu kabaka nti, “Tewali muntu mugezigezi, newaakubadde omufumu, newaakubadde omulaguzi, newaakubadde omulogo asobola okutegeeza kabaka ekigambo kye yasabye.
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:
Waliwo Katonda ow’omu ggulu annyonnyola abantu ebitategeerekeka. Abikkulidde Kabaka Nebukadduneeza ebigenda okubaawo mu nnaku ez’enkomerero. Ekirooto n’okwolesebwa bye wafuna nga weebase bye bino.
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.
“Bwe wali ng’ogalamidde mu kitanda kyo, ayi kabaka omutima gwo ne gutandika okulowooza ku bintu ebiribaawo, era oyo abikkula ebigambo ebitategeerekeka bantu abaabulijjo, yakulaze ebigenda okubaawo.
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.
Naye ekigambo kino ekitategeerekeka bantu abaabulijjo kimbikkuliddwa, si lwa kuba nga ndi mugezi okusinga abantu abalala bonna, naye nkifunye bwe ntyo, kabaka ategeere amakulu gaakyo, era otegeere ebirowoozo bye wafuna mu mutima gwo.
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.
“Watunula, ayi kabaka, era laba, mu maaso go nga wayimiriddewo ekifaananyi ekinene. Ekifaananyi ekyo kyali kinene nnyo, nga kimasamasa nnyo nnyini era nga kya ntiisa.
32 This image! its head [is] of good gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass;
Omutwe gwakyo gwali gwa zaabu ennongoose, ekifuba kyakyo n’emikono gyakyo nga bya ffeeza, n’olubuto lwakyo n’ebisambi byakyo nga bya kikomo,
33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.
n’amagulu gaakyo nga ga kyuma. N’ebigere byakyo ekitundu ekimu kyali kya kyuma, n’ekitundu ekirala nga kya bbumba.
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;
Awo bwe wali ng’okyakitunuulira, olwazi ne lutemebwa, naye si na ngalo, ejjinja ne livaako ne likuba ekifaananyi ku bigere byakyo eby’ekyuma n’ebbumba, ne libyasaayasa.
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.
Ekyuma n’ebbumba, n’ekikomo, ne zaabu, byonna ne biyasibwayasibwa wamu, ne bifuuka ng’ebisusunku eby’omu gguuliro mu biro eby’omusana omungi; kibuyaga n’abifuuwa obutalekaawo na kimu. Naye ejjinja eryakuba ekifaananyi ne lifuuka olusozi olunene, ne lujjula ensi yonna.
36 This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we do tell before the king.
“Ekyo kye kyali ekirooto; kaakano tunaategeeza kabaka amakulu gaakyo.
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;
Ggwe, ayi kabaka, ggwe kabaka wa bakabaka, Katonda ow’eggulu gwe yawa obwakabaka, n’obuyinza, n’amaanyi, n’ekitiibwa;
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.
era akukwasizza abantu n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga. Buli we bibeera, akuwadde okubifuga, era ggwe mutwe ogwa zaabu.
39 And after thee doth rise up another kingdom lower than those, and another third kingdom of brass, that doth rule overall the earth.
“Bw’olivaawo, obwakabaka obulala buliddawo, obutenkanankana bubwo. N’oluvannyuma waliddawo obwakabaka obwokusatu nga bwa kikomo obulifuga ensi yonna.
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.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna waliddawo obwakabaka obwokuna obuliba obw’amaanyi ng’ekyuma; era ng’ekyuma ekimenyaamenya ne kibetentabetenta buli kintu, era ng’ekyuma bwe kimenyaamenya obutundutundu, bwe kityo bwe kiribetentabetenta ne kimenyaamenya obwakabaka obulala bwonna.
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.
Nga bwe walaba ebigere n’obugere ekitundu nga kya bbumba ery’omubumbi, n’ekitundu nga kya kyuma, bwe butyo obwakabaka bwe buligabanyizibwamu; ate nga bulisigala n’amaanyi ag’ekyuma, nga bwe walaba ekyuma nga kitabuddwamu ebbumba.
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.
Ng’obugere bwe bwali, ekitundu nga kya kyuma n’ekitundu ekirala nga kya bbumba, n’obwakabaka buno buliba bwe butyo, ekitundu ekimu nga ky’amaanyi n’ekitundu ekirala nga kinafu.
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.
Era nga bwe walaba ekyuma nga kitabuddwamu ebbumba bwe batyo n’abantu bwe baliba so tebalisigala bumu, ng’ekyuma bwe kitasobola kwetabula bulungi na bbumba.
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.
“Mu biro ebya bakabaka abo, Katonda w’eggulu alissaawo obwakabaka obutalizikirizibwa, so tebuliweebwa bantu balala. Bulizikiriza obwakabaka obwo bwonna, ne bubumalawo, naye bwo bulibeerera emirembe gyonna.
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.
Gano ge makulu ag’okwolesebwa okukwata ku jjinja eryatemebwa mu lusozi, eritatemebwa na ngalo za muntu; eryabetentabetenta ekyuma, n’ekikomo, n’ebbumba, ne ffeeza, ne zaabu. “Katonda omukulu abikkulidde kabaka ebigenda okubaawo mu biro eby’omu maaso. Ekirooto kituufu n’amakulu gaakyo tegabuusibwabuusibwa.”
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.
Awo Kabaka Nebukadduneeza ne yeeyaliira ku lubuto lwe mu maaso ga Danyeri n’amuwa ekitiibwa, n’alagira okuwaayo obubaane n’ebiweebwayo eri Danyeri.
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.'
Kabaka n’agamba Danyeri nti, “Mazima Katonda wo ye Katonda wa bakatonda era ye Mukama wa bakabaka, era omubikkuzi w’ebyama ebyakisibwa, kubanga osobozebbwa okututegeeza ekyama ekyakisibwa.”
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.
Awo kabaka n’akuza Danyeri n’amufuula omuntu omukulu ennyo, n’amuwa n’ebirabo bingi. N’amufuula mufuzi w’essaza lyonna erya Babulooni, n’amuwa n’obuvunaanyizibwa obw’okukulira abasajja abagezigezi bonna ab’e Babulooni.
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.
Awo Danyeri n’asaba kabaka akuze ne Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki, ne Abeduneego; kabaka n’abafuula abakulembeze n’abawa ebifo eby’obuvunaanyizibwa mu ssaza ery’e Babulooni, Danyeri ye n’asigala awali kabaka.
