Danieli 2
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ wa ũthamaki wake-rĩ, Nebukadinezaru nĩarootire irooto; agĩtangĩka meciiria na akĩũrwo nĩ toro.
And in the seconde yeere of the raygne of Nebuchad-nezzar, Nebuchad-nezzar dreamed dreames wherewith his spirite was troubled, and his sleepe was vpon him.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩĩta ago na aragũri, na arogi na arori a njata nĩguo moke mamwĩre ũrĩa aarootete. Rĩrĩa mookire makĩrũgama mbere ya mũthamaki,
Then the King commanded to call the inchanters, and the astrologians and the sorcerers, and the Caldeans for to shewe the King his dreames: so they came and stoode before the King.
3 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ kĩroto ndootete kĩrĩa kĩrathĩĩnia, na nĩngwenda kũmenya ũrĩa kiugĩte.”
And the King sayde vnto them, I haue dreamed a dreame, and my spirite was troubled to knowe the dreame.
4 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arori a njata acio magĩcookeria mũthamaki na rũthiomi rwa Asuriata, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki, ũrotũũra tene na tene! Ta kĩĩre ndungata ciaku kĩroto kĩrĩa ũrotete, nacio itaũre kĩroto kĩu.”
Then spake the Caldeans to the King in the Aramites language, O King, liue for euer: shewe thy seruants thy dreame, and wee shall shewe the interpretation.
5 Nake mũthamaki agĩcookeria arori a njata acio, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo nduĩte ngwatĩirie mũno: Mũngĩaga kũnjĩĩra kĩroto kĩrĩa ndootete na mũgĩtaũre-rĩ, nguuga mũtemangwo mũkue, nacio nyũmba cianyu imomorwo ituĩke hĩba cia mahiga.
And the King answered and sayd to the Caldeans, The thing is gone from me. If ye will not make me vnderstande the dreame with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be drawen in pieces, and your houses shall be made a iakes.
6 No mũngĩnjĩĩra kĩroto kĩu na mũgĩtaarĩrie-rĩ, nĩngũmũhe iheo, na marĩhi, o na ndũmũtĩithie mũno. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio njĩĩrai ũrĩa ndootete na mũndaũrĩre ũhoro wa kĩroto kĩu.”
But if yee declare the dreame and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receyue of me gifts and rewardes, and great honour: therefore shewe me the dreame and the interpretation of it.
7 Makĩmũcookeria o rĩngĩ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki nĩetĩkĩre kwĩra ndungata ciake ũrĩa arotete, na ithuĩ nĩtũkũmũtaũrĩra kĩroto kĩu.”
They answered againe, and sayde, Let the King shewe his seruantes the dreame, and wee will declare the interpretation thereof.
8 Nake mũthamaki akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩramenya kũna atĩ mũrenda o kũraiharaihia ihinda, tondũ nĩmũramenya atĩ ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo nduĩte ngwatĩirie mũno:
Then the King answered, and sayd, I knowe certeinly that ye would gaine the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
9 Mũngĩaga kũnjĩĩra kĩroto kĩu ndootete-rĩ, iherithia rĩanyu no rĩmwe. Mũciirĩire kũnjĩĩra maũndũ ma kũũhĩtithia na ma waganu, mũgĩĩciiria atĩ ũrĩa nduĩte nĩũkũgarũrũka. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, njĩĩrai kĩroto kĩu, na nĩngũmenya atĩ no mũhote gũgĩtaũra.”
But if ye will not declare mee the dreame, there is but one iudgement for you: for ye haue prepared lying and corrupt wordes, to speake before me till the time bee changed: therefore tell me the dreame, that I may knowe, if yee can declare me the interpretation thereof.
10 Nao arori a njata acio magĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe gũkũ thĩ ũngĩhota gwĩka ũguo mũthamaki aroiga! Gũtirĩ mũthamaki, o na arĩ mũnene na arĩ na hinya atĩa, ũrĩ wooria mũndũ-mũgo, kana mũragũri, kana mũrori wa njata eke ũndũ ta ũcio.
Then the Caldeans answered before the King, and sayde, There is no man vpon earth that can declare the Kings matter: yea, there is neither king nor prince nor lorde that asked such things at an inchanter or astrologian or Caldean.
11 Ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki arooria ndũngĩhoteka. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kwĩra mũthamaki kĩroto kĩrĩa arootete, tiga o ngai ciiki, na ititũũranagia na andũ a gũkũ thĩ.”
For it is a rare thing that the King requireth, and there is none other that can declare it before the King, except the gods whose dwelling is not with flesh.
12 Mũthamaki aigua ũhoro ũcio akĩrakara na akĩngʼũrĩka mũno nginya agĩathana atĩ andũ arĩa othe oogĩ a Babuloni mooragwo.
For this cause the king was angrie and in great furie, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babel.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũkĩrutwo watho andũ acio oogĩ mooragwo, na andũ magĩtũmwo magacarie Danieli na arata ake nĩguo mooragwo.
And when sentence was giuen, the wise men were slayne: and they sought Daniel and his fellowes to be put to death.
14 Rĩrĩa Arioku, mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki, aathiiaga kũũraga andũ acio oogĩ a Babuloni-rĩ, Danieli akĩmwarĩria na ũũgĩ, o na eciirĩtie wega ũrĩa ekũmwĩra.
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisedome to Arioch the Kings chiefe stewarde, which was gone foorth to put to death the wise men of Babel.
15 Akĩũria ũcio warĩ mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma mũthamaki atue itua rĩũru ũguo?” Nake Arioku agĩtaarĩria Danieli ũrĩa ũhoro ũcio wothe watariĩ.
Yea, he answered and sayde vnto Arioch the kings captaine, Why is the sentence so hastie from the king? Then Arioch declared the thing to Daniel.
16 Danieli aigua ũguo agĩthiĩ harĩ mũthamaki, akĩmũũria amũhe ihinda, nĩgeetha ahote kũmũtaũrĩra kĩroto kĩu.
So Daniel went and desired the king that he woulde giue him leasure and that he woulde shewe the king the interpretation thereof.
17 Nake Danieli akĩinũka gwake mũciĩ na akĩmenyithia arata ake ũhoro ũcio, nao nĩo Hanania, na Mishaeli, na Azaria.
The Daniel went to his house and shewed the matter to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah his companions,
18 Akĩmaringĩrĩria mathaithe Ngai wa igũrũ nĩguo amaiguĩre tha, amaguũrĩrie ũhoro ũcio warĩ mũhithe, nĩgeetha we hamwe na arata acio ake matikooraganĩrio hamwe na andũ acio angĩ oogĩ a Babuloni.
That they should beseech the God of heauen for grace in this secrete, that Daniel and his fellowes should not perish with the rest of ye wise men of Babel.
19 Na rĩrĩ, ũtukũ ũndũ ũcio warĩ mũhithe ũkĩguũrĩrio Danieli na kĩoneki. Nake Danieli akĩgooca Ngai wa igũrũ,
Then was the secret reueiled vnto Daniel in a vision by night: therefore Daniel praysed the God of heauen.
20 akiuga atĩrĩ:
And Daniel answered and sayde, The Name of God be praysed for euer and euer: for wisedome and strength are his,
21 Nĩwe ũgarũranagia mahinda na imera;
And hee changeth the times and seasons: he taketh away kings: he setteth vp kings: he giueth wisedome vnto the wise, and vnderstanding to those that vnderstand.
22 Nĩwe ũguũragia maũndũ marĩa marikĩru, o na marĩa marĩ hitho-inĩ;
Hee discouereth the deepe and secrete things: he knoweth what is in darkenes, and the light dwelleth with him.
23 Nĩndagũcookeria ngaatho na ndakũgooca, o Wee Ngai wa maithe makwa:
I thanke thee and prayse thee, O thou God of my fathers, that thou hast giuen mee wisedome and strength, and hast shewed me nowe the thing that wee desired of thee: for thou hast declared vnto vs the kings matter.
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Danieli agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Arioku, ũcio mũthamaki aamũrĩte athiĩ akooragithie andũ acio oogĩ a Babuloni, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkooragithie andũ acio oogĩ a Babuloni. Ndwara kũrĩ mũthamaki, na nĩngũmũtaũrĩra kĩroto gĩake.”
Therefore Daniel went vnto Arioch, whome the King had ordeyned to destroy the wise men of Babel: he went and sayde thus vnto him, Destroy not the wise men of Babel, but bring me before the King, and I will declare vnto the King the interpretation.
25 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Arioku agĩtwara Danieli kũrĩ mũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete mũndũ ũmwe wa arĩa maatahĩtwo kuuma Juda ũngĩhota kwĩra mũthamaki ũrĩa kĩroto gĩake kiugĩte.”
Then Arioch brought Daniel before the King in all haste, and sayd thus vnto him, I haue found a man of the children of Iudah that were brought captiues, that will declare vnto the King the interpretation.
26 Nake mũthamaki akĩũria Danieli (na nowe Beliteshazaru) atĩrĩ, “No ũhote kũnjĩĩra kĩroto kĩrĩa ndootete na ũgĩtaũre?”
Then answered the King, and sayde vnto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to shew me the dreame, which I haue seene, and the interpretation thereof?
27 Nake Danieli akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa arĩa oogĩ, kana mũragũri, kana mũndũ-mũgo o na kana mũrathi ũngĩhota kwĩra mũthamaki ũhoro ũcio wa hitho,
Daniel answered in the presence of the King, and sayd, The secret which the King hath demanded, can neither the wise, the astrologians, the inchanters, nor the southsayers declare vnto the King.
28 no nĩ kũrĩ Ngai ũrĩ igũrũ ũguũranagĩria maũndũ marĩa marĩ hitho-inĩ. Nĩwe wonetie Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru ũrĩa gũgaikara matukũ-inĩ ma thuutha. Kĩroto gĩaku na cioneki iria irahĩtũkĩire meciiria-inĩ maku ũkomete ũrĩrĩ iraarĩ ici:
But there is a God in heauen that reueileth secrets, and sheweth the King Nebuchad-nezzar what shall bee in the latter dayes. Thy dreame, and the things which thou hast seene in thine heade vpon thy bed, is this.
29 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo wakomete ũrĩrĩ-inĩ, wee mũthamaki, meciiria maku nĩmecũũranirie ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa magooka thuutha-inĩ, nake ũrĩa mũguũria wa maũndũ marĩa marĩ hitho-inĩ agĩkũguũrĩria ũrĩa gũkaahaana thuutha-inĩ.
O King, when thou wast in thy bedde, thoughts came into thy mind, what should come to passe hereafter, and he that reueyleth secretes, telleth thee, what shall come.
30 Niĩ-rĩ, ndiguũrĩirio ũhoro ũcio ũrĩ hitho-inĩ atĩ tondũ ndĩ na ũũgĩ gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ matũũraga muoyo, no nĩgeetha wee mũthamaki ũmenye ũrĩa kĩroto kĩu kiugĩte, nĩguo ũtaũkĩrwo nĩ maũndũ macio ũrecũũranagia meciiria-inĩ maku.
As for me, this secret is not shewed mee for any wisedome that I haue, more then any other liuing, but onely to shewe the King the interpretation, and that thou mightest knowe the thoughts of thine heart.
31 “Wee mũthamaki, warora nĩwonire mũhianano mũnene warũngiĩ mbere yaku: mũhianano ũcio warĩ mũnene mũno na nĩwahenahenagia, na warĩ wa kũmakania ũkĩonwo.
O King, thou sawest, and beholde, there was a great image: this great image whose glory was so excellent, stood before thee, and the forme thereof was terrible.
32 Mũtwe wa mũhianano ũcio warĩ wa thahabu ĩrĩa therie, nakĩo gĩthũri kĩaguo na moko ciarĩ cia betha, nayo nda na ciero ciaguo ciarĩ cia gĩcango,
This images head was of fine golde, his breast and his armes of siluer, his bellie and his thighs of brasse,
33 magũrũ maguo maarĩ ma kĩgera, namo makinya maarĩ ma kĩgera gĩtukanĩte na rĩũmba rĩcine.
His legges of yron, and his feete were part of yron, and part of clay.
34 Hĩndĩ o ĩyo wawĩroreire, ihiga inene rĩkĩenjwo, no rĩtienjirwo nĩ moko ma mũndũ. Rĩkĩgũtha makinya ma mũhianano ũcio marĩa maarĩ ma kĩgera gũtukanĩte na rĩũmba, rĩkĩmahehenja.
Thou beheldest it til a stone was cut without hands, which smote the image vpon his feete, that were of yron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 Nakĩo kĩgera kĩu, na rĩũmba, na gĩcango, na betha, na thahabu igĩthetherwo tũcunjĩ tũcunjĩ, igĩtuĩka ta mũũngũ ũrĩa ũmbũragwo kĩhuhĩro-inĩ hĩndĩ ya riũa. Ikĩhuhũkanio nĩ rũhuho, igĩthira biũ na itiacookire kuoneka rĩngĩ. No rĩrĩ, ihiga rĩu rĩagũthire mũhianano ũcio rĩkĩneneha, rĩgĩtuĩka kĩrĩma kĩnene, rĩkĩiyũra thĩ yothe.
Then was the yron, the clay, the brasse, the siluer and the golde broken all together, and became like the chaffe of the sommer floures, and the winde caryed them away, that no place was founde for them: and the stone that smote the image, became a great mountaine, and filled the whole earth.
36 “Kĩu nĩkĩo kĩroto kĩrĩa warootire, na rĩu nĩtũgũgĩtaũrĩra mũthamaki.
This is the dreame, and we will declare before the King the interpretation thereof.
37 Wee mũthamaki-rĩ, nĩwe mũthamaki wa athamaki. Nake Ngai wa igũrũ nĩakũheete ũthamaki, na ũhoti, na hinya, na riiri;
O King, thou art a king of Kings: for the God of heauen hath giuen thee a kingdome, power, and strength, and glorie.
38 nĩaigĩte andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe moko-inĩ maku, na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, o na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ. Kũrĩa guothe itũũraga-rĩ, nĩagũtuĩte mwathi wacio ciothe. Wee nĩwe mũtwe ũcio wa thahabu.
And in all places where the children of men dwell, the beasts of the fielde, and the foules of the heauen hath he giuen into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler ouer them al: thou art this heade of golde.
39 “Thuutha waku, nĩgũkarahũka ũthamaki ũngĩ ũtagaakorwo na hinya ta waku. Thuutha ũcio nĩgũkagĩa na ũthamaki ũngĩ wa gatatũ, nĩguo ũgerekanĩtio na gĩcango, naguo nĩũgaatha thĩ yothe.
And after thee shall rise another kingdome, inferiour to thee, of siluer, and another third kingdome shalbe of brasse, which shall beare rule ouer all the earth.
40 Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩgũkarahũka ũthamaki ũngĩ wa kana ũrĩ hinya ta kĩgera, nĩgũkorwo kĩgera kiunangaga na gĩkahehenja indo ciothe, na o ta ũrĩa kĩgera kiunangaga indo igatuĩka tũcunjĩ ũguo noguo ũkaahehenja na uunange mothamaki macio mangĩ mothe.
And the fourth kingdome shall be strong as yron: for as yron breaketh in pieces, and subdueth all things, and as yron bruiseth all these things, so shall it breake in pieces, and bruise all.
41 O ta ũguo wonire atĩ makinya na ciara ciarĩ cia rĩũmba rĩcine rĩtukanĩte na kĩgera-rĩ, noguo ũthamaki ũyũ ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũgayũkanu; no rĩrĩ, nĩũgakorwo ũrĩ na hinya wa kĩgera thĩinĩ waguo, o ta ũguo wonire kĩgera kĩu gĩtukanĩte na rĩũmba.
Where as thou sawest the feete and toes, parte of potters clay, and part of yron: the kingdome shalbe deuided, but there shalbe in it of the strength of the yron, as thou sawest the yron mixt with the clay, and earth.
42 O ũguo ciara ciarĩ cia kĩgera gĩtukanĩte na cia rĩũmba-rĩ, noguo ũthamaki ũcio ũgaakorwo kũmwe ũrĩ na hinya na kũrĩa kũngĩ ũgathuthĩkanga.
And as the toes of the feete were parte of yron, and parte of clay, so shall the kingdome be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 Na o ta ũguo wonire kĩgera gĩtukanĩte na rĩũmba rĩcine-rĩ, noguo andũ nao magaakorwo matukanĩte, na matigaatũũra marĩ rũmwe rĩngĩ, o ta ũrĩa kĩgera gĩtangĩtukana na rĩũmba.
And where as thou sawest yron mixt with clay and earth, they shall mingle themselues with the seede of men: but they shall not ioyne one with another, as yron can not bee mixed with clay.
44 “Na rĩrĩ, ihinda-inĩ rĩa athamaki acio, Ngai wa igũrũ nĩakahaanda ũthamaki ũtagacooka kwanangwo, kana ũtigĩrwo andũ angĩ. Nĩũkahehenja mothamaki macio mangĩ mothe ũmaniine, noguo mwene ũgaatũũra wĩhaandĩte tene na tene.
And in the dayes of these Kings, shall the God of heauen set vp a kingdome, which shall neuer be destroyed: and this kingdome shall not be giuen to another people, but it shall breake, and destroy al these kingdomes, and it shall stand for euer.
45 Ũcio nĩguo ũtaũri wa kĩoneki kĩa ihiga rĩu rĩenjetwo kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ, no rĩtienjetwo na moko ma andũ, na nĩrĩo rĩathetherire kĩgera, na gĩcango, na rĩũmba, na betha na thahabu igĩtuĩka tũcunjĩ. “Ngai ũcio mũnene nĩamenyithĩtie mũthamaki ũrĩa gũkaahaana thuutha-inĩ. Kĩroto kĩu nĩ kĩa ma, naguo ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ wa kwĩhokeka.”
Where as thou sawest, that the stone was cut of the mountaine without handes, and that it brake in pieces the yron, the brasse, the clay, the siluer, and the golde: so the great God hath shewed the King, what shall come to passe hereafter, and the dreame is true, and the interpretation thereof is sure.
46 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru akĩĩgũithia, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ mbere ya Danieli, na akĩmũhe gĩtĩĩo kĩnene, na agĩathana atĩ arutĩrwo igongona na ũbumba.
Then the King Nebuchad-nezzar fell vpon his face, and bowed himselfe vnto Daniel, and commanded that they should offer meate offrings, and sweete odours vnto him.
47 Mũthamaki akĩĩra Danieli atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Ngai waku nĩwe Ngai wa ngai iria ingĩ, na Mwathani wa athamaki na mũguũria wa maũndũ marĩa marĩ hitho-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩwahota kũguũria ũndũ ũyũ ũrĩ hitho-inĩ.”
Also the King answered vnto Daniel, and said, I know of a trueth that your God is a God of gods, and the Lord of Kings, and the reueiler of secrets, seeing thou couldest open this secret.
48 Nake mũthamaki agĩtũũgĩria Danieli, na akĩmũtuga na iheo nyingĩ mũno. Akĩmũtua mwathi wa bũrũri wothe wa Babuloni, na akĩmũtua mũrũgamĩrĩri wa andũ arĩa othe oogĩ a bũrũri ũcio.
So the King made Daniel a great man, and gaue him many and great giftes. Hee made him gouernour ouer the whole prouince of Babel, and chiefe of the rulers, and aboue all the wise men of Babel.
49 Nake Danieli agĩthaitha mũthamaki atue Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego arori a mawĩra marĩa maarutagwo bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa Babuloni, no Danieli we mwene agĩikara kũu mũciĩ wa ũthamaki.
Then Daniel made request to the King, and hee set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ouer the charge of the prouince of Babel: but Daniel sate in the gate of the King.
