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 second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar has dreamed dreams, and his spirit moves itself, and his sleep has been against 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,
and the king says to call for enchanters, and for conjurers, and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they come in and stand before the king;
3 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ kĩroto ndootete kĩrĩa kĩrathĩĩnia, na nĩngwenda kũmenya ũrĩa kiugĩte.”
and the king says to them, “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is moved to know the dream.”
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.”
And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaic, “O king, live for all ages, tell the dream to your servants, and we show 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.
The king has answered and said to the Chaldeans, “The thing is gone from me; if you do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, you are made pieces, and your houses are made dunghills;
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.”
and if the dream and its interpretation you show, gifts, and fee, and great glory you receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation you show me.”
7 Makĩmũcookeria o rĩngĩ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki nĩetĩkĩre kwĩra ndungata ciake ũrĩa arotete, na ithuĩ nĩtũkũmũtaũrĩra kĩroto kĩu.”
They have answered a second time, and are saying, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we show the interpretation.”
8 Nake mũthamaki akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩramenya kũna atĩ mũrenda o kũraiharaihia ihinda, tondũ nĩmũramenya atĩ ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo nduĩte ngwatĩirie mũno:
The king has answered and said, “Of a truth I know that you are gaining time, because that you have seen that 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.”
[so] that, if you do not cause me to know the dream—one is your sentence, seeing a lying and corrupt word you have prepared to speak before me, until the time is changed, therefore tell the dream to me, then I know that you show me its interpretation.”
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.
The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are saying, “There is not a man on the earth who is able to show the king’s matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, has asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean;
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.”
and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and there are no others that show 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.
Therefore the king has been furious and very angry, and has said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũkĩrutwo watho andũ acio oogĩ mooragwo, na andũ magĩtũmwo magacarie Danieli na arata ake nĩguo mooragwo.
And the sentence has gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
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 has replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who has gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.
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.
He has answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, “Why [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?” Then Arioch has made the thing known to Daniel,
16 Danieli aigua ũguo agĩthiĩ harĩ mũthamaki, akĩmũũria amũhe ihinda, nĩgeetha ahote kũmũtaũrĩra kĩroto kĩu.
and Daniel has gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to show the interpretation to the king.
17 Nake Danieli akĩinũka gwake mũciĩ na akĩmenyithia arata ake ũhoro ũcio, nao nĩo Hanania, na Mishaeli, na Azaria.
Then Daniel has gone to his house, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he has made the thing known,
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.
and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret, that they do not destroy Daniel and his companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Na rĩrĩ, ũtukũ ũndũ ũcio warĩ mũhithe ũkĩguũrĩrio Danieli na kĩoneki. Nake Danieli akĩgooca Ngai wa igũrũ,
Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret has been revealed. Then Daniel has blessed the God of the heavens.
20 akiuga atĩrĩ:
Daniel has answered and said, “Let the Name of God be blessed from age even to age, for wisdom and might—for they are His.
21 Nĩwe ũgarũranagia mahinda na imera;
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.
22 Nĩwe ũguũragia maũndũ marĩa marikĩru, o na marĩa marĩ hitho-inĩ;
He is revealing deep and hidden things; He has known what [is] in darkness, and light has dwelt with Him.
23 Nĩndagũcookeria ngaatho na ndakũgooca, o Wee Ngai wa maithe makwa:
You, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might You have given to me; and now, You have caused me to know that which we have sought from You, for the king’s matter You have caused us to know.”
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 has gone up to Arioch, whom the king has appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he has gone, and thus has said to him, “You do not destroy the wise men of Babylon, bring me up before the king, and I show the interpretation to the king.”
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 in haste has brought up Daniel before the king, and thus has said to him, “I have found a man of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, who makes known the interpretation to the king.”
26 Nake mũthamaki akĩũria Danieli (na nowe Beliteshazaru) atĩrĩ, “No ũhote kũnjĩĩra kĩroto kĩrĩa ndootete na ũgĩtaũre?”
The king has answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, “Are you able to cause me to know the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?”
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 has 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 show to 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 the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
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.
You, O king, your thoughts on your bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets has caused you to know that which [is] to be.
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—not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living has this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of your heart you know.
31 “Wee mũthamaki, warora nĩwonire mũhianano mũnene warũngiĩ mbere yaku: mũhianano ũcio warĩ mũnene mũno na nĩwahenahenagia, na warĩ wa kũmakania ũkĩonwo.
You, O king, were looking, and behold, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing before you, and its appearance [is] 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 image! Its head [is] of fine gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze;
33 magũrũ maguo maarĩ ma kĩgera, namo makinya maarĩ ma kĩgera gĩtukanĩte na rĩũmba rĩcine.
its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them 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.
You were looking until a stone has been cut out without hands, and it has struck the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it has broken them small;
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 broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and the wind has carried them away, and no place has been found for them: and the stone that struck the image has become a great mountain, and has filled all the land.
36 “Kĩu nĩkĩo kĩroto kĩrĩa warootire, na rĩu nĩtũgũgĩtaũrĩra mũthamaki.
This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we tell before the king.
37 Wee mũthamaki-rĩ, nĩwe mũthamaki wa athamaki. Nake Ngai wa igũrũ nĩakũheete ũthamaki, na ũhoti, na hinya, na riiri;
You, O king, are a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, has given to you;
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 wherever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the bird of the heavens, He has given into your hand, and has caused you to rule over them all; you [are] this head of gold.
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 you another kingdom arises lower than those, and another third kingdom of bronze, that rules over 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 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 beats small and breaks.
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.
As for that which you have 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 you have seen the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 O ũguo ciara ciarĩ cia kĩgera gĩtukanĩte na cia rĩũmba-rĩ, noguo ũthamaki ũcio ũgaakorwo kũmwe ũrĩ na hinya na kũrĩa kũngĩ ũgathuthĩkanga.
As for 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.
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.
Because you have seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering with one another, even as iron is not 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 days of these kings the God of the heavens raises up a kingdom that is not destroyed for all time, and its kingdom is not left to another people: it beats small and ends all these kingdoms, and it stands for all time.
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.”
Because that you have seen that out of the mountain a stone has been cut without hands, and it has beaten the iron small, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation steadfast.”
46 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru akĩĩgũithia, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ mbere ya Danieli, na akĩmũhe gĩtĩĩo kĩnene, na agĩathana atĩ arutĩrwo igongona na ũbumba.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar has fallen on his face, and to Daniel he has done homage, and present, and sweet things, he has said to pour out to 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.”
The king has 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 you have been able to reveal 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.
Then the king has made Daniel great, and many great gifts he has given to him, and has caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the prefects over all the wise men of Babylon.
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.
And Daniel has sought from the king, and he has appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.
