Daniel 2
1 Le Nebukadnezar ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe evelia me la, Nebukadnezar ku drɔ̃ewo, eƒe susu ɖe fu nɛ eye megatea ŋu dɔa alɔ̃ o.
In the secounde yeer of the rewme of Nabugodonosor, Nabugodonosor siy a dreem; and his spirit was aferd, and his dreem fledde awei fro hym.
2 Ale fia la yɔ dzotɔwo, bokɔwo, gbesalawo kple ɣletivimenunyalawo ƒo ƒu be woalĩ drɔ̃e siwo yeku la na ye. Esi wova tsi tsitre ɖe eŋkume la,
Therfor the kyng comaundide, that the dyuynours, and astronomyens, and witchis, and Caldeis schulden be clepid togidere, that thei schulden telle to the kyng hise dremys; and whanne thei weren comun, thei stoden bifor the king.
3 egblɔ na wo be, “Meku drɔ̃e aɖe si le fu ɖem nam eye medi be mase egɔme.”
And the king seide to hem, Y siy a dreem, and Y am schent in mynde, and Y knowe not what Y siy.
4 Tete ɣletivimenunyalawo gblɔ nɛ le Aramgbe me be, “O fia, nɔ agbe tegbee. Lĩ drɔ̃e la na wò subɔlawo, eye míaɖe egɔme.”
And Caldeis answeriden the kyng bi Sirik langage, Kyng, liue thou with outen ende; seie thi dreem to thi seruauntis, and we schulen schewe to thee the expownyng therof.
5 Fia la ɖo eŋu na ɣletivimenunyalawo be, “Nu si meɖo ta me kplikpaa be mawɔe nye, ne mielĩ drɔ̃e la nam eye mieɖe egɔme nam o la, mana woafli mi kakɛkakɛ eye miaƒe aƒewo azu aɖukpo.
And the kyng answeride, and seide to Caldeis, The word is goen awei fro me; if ye schewen not to me the dreem, and expownyng therof, ye schulen perische, and youre housis schulen be forfetid.
6 Ke ne mielĩ drɔ̃e la eye mieɖe egɔme nam la, ekema miaxɔ nunanawo kple fetuwo kple bubudeameŋu gã aɖe tso gbɔnye.”
Forsothe if ye tellen the dreem, and the expownyng therof, ye schulen take of me meedis and yiftis, and myche onour; therfor schewe ye to me the dreem, and the interpretyng therof.
7 Wogagblɔ be, “Fia la nelĩ drɔ̃e la na eƒe dɔlawo eye míaɖe egɔme.”
Thei answeriden the secounde tyme, and seiden, The kyng seie the dreem to hise seruauntis, and we schulen schewe the interpretyng therof.
8 Tete fia la ɖo eŋu be, “Meka ɖe edzi be ɣeyiɣi ko dim miele elabena mienya ta me si meɖo kplikpaa.
The kyng answeride, and seide, Certis Y woot, that ye ayenbien the tyme, and witen that the word is goen awei fro me.
9 Ne mielĩ drɔ̃e la nam o la, tohehe ɖeka pɛ koe li na mi. Mieɖo ta me ɖeka be yewoagblɔ nya tramawo kple nya tso nu vɔ̃ɖiwo ŋuti kple mɔkpɔkpɔ be nuwo atrɔ, eya ta azɔ la, milĩ drɔ̃e la nam, ekema manya be miate ŋu aɖe egɔme nam.”
Therfor if ye schewen not to me the dreem, o sentence is of you, for ye maken an interpretyng bothe fals and ful of disseit, that ye speke to me til the tyme passe; therfor seie ye the dreem to me, that Y wite, that ye speke also the veri interpretyng therof.
10 Ɣletivimenunyalawo ɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Ame aɖeke mele anyigba dzi si ate ŋu awɔ nu si fia la bia o! Nenema ke fia gã, ŋusẽtɔ aɖeke meli si bia nu sia tso eƒe dzotɔwo, bokɔwo kple ɣletivimenunyalawo si kpɔ o.
Therfor Caldeis answeriden bifor the kyng, and seiden, Kyng, no man is on erthe, that mai fille thi word; but nether ony greet man and myyti of kyngis axith siche a word of ony dyuynour, and astronomyen, and of a man of Caldee.
11 Nu si fia la bia la sẽ akpa. Ame aɖeke mate ŋu aɖee afia fia la o, negbe mawuwo ko, gake womenɔa amewo dome o.”
For the word which thou, kyng, axist, is greuouse, nether ony schal be foundun, that schal schewe it in the siyt of the king, outakun goddis, whos lyuyng is not with men.
12 Nu sia do dɔmedzoe na fia la ale gbegbe be wòɖe gbe be woawu Babilonia nunyalawo katã.
And whanne this word was herd, the kyng comaundide, in woodnesse and in greet ire, that alle the wise men of Babiloyne schulden perische.
13 Ale wòde se be woawu nunyalawo katã, eye wòɖo amewo ɖa be woadi Daniel kple etɔawo hã ne woawu wo.
And bi the sentence goon out, the wise men weren slayn; and Danyel and hise felows weren souyt, that thei schulden perische.
14 Esime Ariɔk, fiaŋusrafowo ƒe amegã yi be yeawu Babilonia nunyalawo la, Daniel ƒo nu kplii kple nunya kple ayedzedze.
Thanne Danyel axide of the lawe and sentence, of Ariok, prynce of chyualrie of the kyng, that was gon out to sle the wise men of Babiloyne.
15 Ebia amegã la be, “Nu ka ta fia la de se sesẽ sia ɖo?” Tete Ariɔk ɖe nya la me na Daniel.
And he axide hym, that hadde take power of the kyng, for what cause so cruel a sentence yede out fro the face of the kyng. Therfor whanne Ariok hadde schewid the thing to Danyel,
16 Tete Daniel yi fia la gbɔ eye wòbia be wòana ɣeyiɣi ye be yeaɖe drɔ̃e la gɔme nɛ.
Danyel entride, and preyede the kyng, that he schulde yyue tyme to hym to schewe the soilyng to the kyng.
17 Daniel trɔ yi eƒe aƒe me eye woɖe nya la me na xɔlɔ̃awo: Hananiya, Misael kple Azaria.
And he entride in to his hous, and schewide the nede to Ananye, and to Misael, and Asarie,
18 Edo ŋusẽ xɔlɔ̃awo be woaɖe kuku na Mawu si le dziƒo be wòakpɔ nublanui na yewo le nya ɣaɣla sia ŋu ale be womawu ye kple ye xɔlɔ̃wo kpe ɖe Babilonia nunyala bubuawo ŋu o.
hise felowis, that thei schulden axe merci of the face of God of heuene on this sacrament; and that Danyel and hise felowis schulden not perische with othere wise men of Babiloyne.
19 Le zã me la, Mawu ɖe nya ɣaɣla sia fia Daniel le ŋutega me. Ale Daniel kafu dziƒo ƒe Mawu la
Thanne the priuyte was schewid to Danyel bi a visioun in nyyt. And Danyel blesside God of heuene, and seide,
20 hegblɔ be, “Woakafu Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ Tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Nunya kple ŋusẽ nye etɔ.
The name of the Lord be blessid fro the world, and til in to the world, for wisdom and strengthe ben hise;
21 Eyae ɖɔa li ɣeyiɣiwo kple azãgbewo Eyae ɖoa fiawo eye wòtua fiawo. Eyae naa nunya nunyalawo Eye wònaa gɔmesese nugɔmeselawo
and he chaungith tymes and ages, he translatith rewmes and ordeyneth; he yyueth wisdom to wise men, and kunnyng to hem that vndurstonden techyng, ether chastisyng;
22 Eyae ɖea nu detowo kple nu ɣaɣlawo fiana Enyaa nu si ɣla ɖe viviti me Eye kekeli nɔa eŋu.
he schewith deepe thingis and hid, and he knowith thingis set in derknessis, and liyt is with hym.
23 Meda akpe na wò eye mekafu wò O, fofonyewo ƒe Mawu. Ètsɔ nunya kple ŋusẽ nam Èna menya nu tso nu si míebia wò ŋu Èna míenya fia la ƒe drɔ̃e la.”
God of oure fadris, Y knowleche to thee, and Y herie thee, for thou hast youe wisdom and strengthe to me; and now thou hast schewid to me tho thingis, whiche we preieden thee, for thou hast openyd to vs the word of the kyng.
24 Tete Daniel yi Ariɔk, ame si fia la ɖo na be wòawu Babilonia nunyalawo katã la gbɔ eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mègawu Babilonia nunyalawo o. Kplɔm yi fia la gbɔ eye maɖe eƒe drɔ̃e la gɔme nɛ.”
Aftir these thingis Danyel entride to Ariok, whom the kyng hadde ordeyned, that he schulde leese the wise men of Babiloyne, and thus he spak to hym, Leese thou not the wise men of Babiloyne; leede thou me in bifor the siyt of the kyng, and Y schal telle the soilyng to the kyng.
25 Ariɔk kplɔ Daniel yi fia la gbɔ enumake, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mekpɔ ame aɖe le aboyo me si tso Yudatɔwo dome, ame si ate ŋu aɖe drɔ̃e la gɔme na fia la!”
Thanne Ariok hastynge ledde in Danyel to the kyng, and seide to him, Y haue foundun a man of the sones of passyng ouer of Juda, that schal telle the soilyng to the kyng.
26 Fia la bia Daniel (ame si wogayɔna be Beltesazar la) be, “Àte ŋu agblɔ nu si mekpɔ le nye drɔ̃e la me nam eye nàɖe egɔmea?”
The kyng answeride, and seide to Danyel, to whom the name was Balthasar, Whethir gessist thou, that thou maist verili schewe to me the dreem which Y siy, and the interpretyng therof?
27 Daniel ɖo eŋu be, “Nunyala alo bokɔ, dzotɔ alo ɣletivimenunyala aɖeke mate ŋu aɖe nya ɣaɣla si gɔme nèbia be woaɖe na ye la gɔme o
And Danyel answeride bifore the king, and seide, The priuytee which the kyng axith, wise men, and astronomyens, and dyuynours, and lokeris of auteris, moun not schewe to the kyng.
28 gake Mawu aɖe le dziƒo, ame si ɖea nu ɣaɣlawo fiana. Eɖe nu si ava dzɔ le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna la me fia Fia Nebukadnezar. Wò drɔ̃e kple ŋutega siwo to wò susu me esi nèmlɔ wò aba dzi la le ale:
But God is in heuene, that schewith priuytees, which hath schewid to thee, thou king Nabugodonosor, what thingis schulen come in the laste tymes. Thi dreem and visiouns of thin heed, in thi bed, ben sich.
29 “Esi nèmlɔ anyi la, O fia, wò susu trɔ ɖe nu siwo ava dzɔ la ŋu eye ame si ɖea nya ɣaɣlawo fiam la ɖe nu siwo ava dzɔ la fia wò.
Thou, kyng, bigunnest to thenke in thi bed, what was to comynge aftir these thingis; and he that schewith priuetees, schewide to thee what thingis schulen come.
30 Le nye gome la, woɖe nya ɣaɣla sia fiam, menye esi nunya le asinye wu ame bubu siwo le agbe la ta o, ke boŋ be wò, O fia, nànya gɔmeɖeɖe la eye be nàse nu si to wò susu me la gɔme.
And this sacrament is schewid to me, not bi wisdom which is in me more than in alle lyuynge men, but that the interpretyng schulde be maad opyn to the kyng, and thou schuldist knowe the thouytis of thi soule.
31 “Èɖo ŋku anyi, O fia eye nèkpɔ legba gã aɖe, elolo nɔ dzo dam eye eƒe dzedzeme dzi ŋɔ.
Thou, kyng, siyest, and lo! as o greet ymage; thilke ymage was greet, and hiy in stature, and stood bifore thee, and the loking therof was ferdful.
32 Wowɔ legba la ƒe ta kple sika nyuitɔ, wowɔ eƒe akɔta kple abɔwo kple klosalo, wowɔ eƒe ƒodo kple atawo kple akɔbli,
The heed of this ymage was of best gold, but the brest and armes weren of siluer; certis the wombe and thies weren of bras,
33 wowɔ eƒe afɔwo kple gayibɔ eye wowɔ eƒe afɔwo ƒe akpa aɖewo kple gayibɔ, akpa aɖewo kple tsu.
but the leggis weren of irun; forsothe sum part of the feet was of irun, sum was of erthe.
34 Esi nènɔ ŋku lém ɖe nuwo ŋu la, wolã agakpe aɖe me, ke menye kple amegbetɔ ƒe asi o. Ege va dze legba la ƒe afɔ siwo wowɔ kple gayibɔ kple tsu la dzi eye wògbã wo gudugudu.
Thou siyest thus, til a stoon was kit doun of the hil, with outen hondis, and smoot the ymage in the irun feet therof and erthene feet, and al to-brak tho.
35 Tete gayibɔ la, tsu la, akɔbli la, klosalo la kple sika la gbã gudugudu le ɣeyiɣi ɖeka ma me eye wozu abe tsro le lugbɔƒe le dzomeŋɔli ene. Ya ƒo wo dzoe eye wo teƒe megadze o. Ke kpe si dze legba la, trɔ zu to gã aɖe eye wòxɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
Thanne the irun, tijl stoon, ether erthene vessel, bras, siluer, and gold, weren al to-brokun togidere, and dryuun as in to a deed sparcle of a large somer halle, that ben rauyschid of wynd, and no place is foundun to tho; forsothe the stoon, that smoot the ymage, was maad a greet hil, and fillide al erthe.
36 “Drɔ̃e lae nye si. Azɔ la míaɖe egɔme na fia la.
This is the dreem. Also, thou kyng, we schulen seie bifor thee the interpretyng therof.
37 O fia, wòe nye fiawo dzi fia la. Mawu si le dziƒo la tsɔ dziɖuɖu kple ŋusẽ kpakple bubu,
Thou art kyng of kyngis, and God of heuene yaf to thee rewme, strengthe, and empire, and glorie;
38 amegbetɔwo, gbemelãwo kple dziƒoxeviwo de asiwò me. Afi sia afi si wole la, Mawu na nènye wo katã dzi ɖula. Wòe nye ta ma si nye sika.
and he yaf in thin hond alle thingis, in whiche the sones of men, and the beestis of the feeld, and the briddis of the eir dwellen, and ordeynede alle thingis vndur thi lordschip; therfor thou art the goldun heed.
39 “Fiaɖuƒe bubu aɖe, si made tɔwò nu o la, ava ɖe tɔwò yome. Emegbe la, fiaɖuƒe etɔ̃lia si nye akɔblitɔ la aɖu anyigba katã dzi.
And another rewme lesse than thou schal rise aftir thee; and the thridde rewme, an other of bras, that schal haue the empire of al erthe.
40 Le nuwuwu la, fiaɖuƒe enelia ava, si asẽ abe gayibɔ ene elabena gayibɔ gbãa nu sia nu eye abe ale si gayibɔ gbãa nu sia nu gudugudu ene la, nenemae wòagbã fiaɖuƒe bubuawoe.
And the fourthe rewme schal be as irun, as irun makith lesse, and makith tame alle thingis, so it schal make lesse, and schal al to-breke alle these rewmes.
41 Abe ale si nèkpɔe be wowɔ afɔwo kple afɔbidɛwo ƒe akpa aɖewo kple tsu kple gayibɔ ene la, nenemae fiaɖuƒe sia amae, ke gayibɔ ƒe ŋusẽ aɖe anɔ eme abe ale si nèkpɔ wotsaka gayibɔ kple tsu ene. Ale fiaɖuƒe la ƒe akpa aɖe asẽ eye akpa aɖe masẽ o.
Forsothe that thou siest a part of the feet and fyngris of erthe of a pottere, and a part of irun, the rewme shal be departid; which netheles schal rise of the plauntyng of irun, `bi that that thou siest irun meynd with a tijl stoon of clei,
42 Abe ale si wowɔ afɔbidɛawo ƒe akpa aɖe kple gayibɔ eye wowɔ akpa aɖe kple tsu ene la, nenemae fiaɖuƒe sia ƒe akpa aɖe asẽ ŋu eye akpa aɖe masẽ ŋu o.
and the toos of the feet in parti of irun, and in parti of erthe, in parti the rewme schal be sad, and in parti to-brokun.
43 Eye abe ale si nèkpɔ wotsaka gayibɔ kple tsu ene la, nenema ameawo amae eye womawɔ ɖeka o, abe gayibɔ kple tsu ene.
Forsothe that thou siest irun meynd with a tiel stoon of clei, sotheli tho schulen be meynd togidere with mannus seed; but tho schulen not cleue to hem silf, as irun mai not be meddlid with tyel stoon.
44 “Le fia mawo ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me la, Mawu si le dziƒo la aɖo fiaɖuƒe aɖe anyi si magbã akpɔ gbeɖe o eye womagblẽe ɖi na ame bubuwo o. Agbã fiaɖuƒe mawo katã eye wòahe woƒe nuwuwu vɛ, ke eya ŋutɔ anɔ anyi tegbee.
Forsothe in the daies of tho rewmes, God of heuene shal reise a rewme, that schal not be distried with outen ende, and his rewme schal not be youun to another puple; it schal make lesse, and schal waste alle these rewmes, and it schal stonde with outen ende,
45 Esiae nye ŋutega tso agakpe si tso toa me la ƒe gɔmeɖeɖe, ke menye kple amegbetɔ ƒe asi o, enye agakpe si gbã gayibɔ la, akɔbli la, tsu la, klosalo la kple sika la gudugudu. “Mawu gã la ɖe nu si ava dzɔ la fia fia la. Drɔ̃e la nye nyateƒe eye woaka ɖe eƒe gɔmeɖeɖe dzi.”
bi this that thou siest, that a stoon was kit doun of the hil with outen hondis, and maad lesse the tiel stoon, and irun, and bras, and siluer, and gold. Greet God hath schewid to the kyng, what thingis schulen come aftirward; and the dreem is trewe, and the interpretyng therof is feithful.
46 Tete Nebukadnezar tsyɔ mo anyi hede ta agu na Daniel eye wòɖe gbe be woasa vɔ eye woado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na Daniel.
Thanne king Nabugodonosor felle doun on his face, and worschipide Danyel, and comaundide sacrifices and encense to be brouyt, that tho schulden be sacrifised to hym.
47 Fia la gblɔ na Daniel be, “Nyateƒee, miaƒe Mawu la nye mawuwo dzi Mawu kple fiawo ƒe Aƒetɔ kple ame si ɖea nya ɣaɣlawo fiana elabena ète ŋu ɖe nya ɣaɣla la fia.”
Therfor the kyng spak, and seide to Danyel, Verili youre God is God of goddis, and Lord of kyngis, that schewith mysteries, for thou miytist opene this sacrament.
48 Tete fia la tsɔ Daniel da ɖe ɖoƒe kɔkɔ aɖe eye wòtsɔ nunana geɖewo nɛ. Etsɔe ɖo Babilonia nuto la katã me nu, eye wòna wòzu Babilonia nunyalawo katã ƒe tatɔ.
Thanne the kyng reiside Danyel an hiy, and yaf many yiftis and grete to hym; and ordeynede hym prince and prefect, ether cheef iustise, ouer alle the prouynces of Babiloyne, and maister ouer alle the wise men of Babiloyne.
49 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, le Daniel ƒe kokoƒoƒo nu la, ewɔ Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego Babilonianyigba la ƒe dziɖuɖudɔwo dzi kpɔlawoe. Ke Daniel ŋutɔ nɔ fia la ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃ƒe.
Forsothe Danyel axide of the kyng, and ordeynede Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago ouer alle the werkis of the prouynce of Babiloyne; but Danyel hym silf was in the yatis of the kyng.
