< Daniel 2 >

1 Iti maikadua a tawen ti panagturay ni Nebucadnesar, nagtagtagainep isuna. Nariribukan isuna, ket saanen a makaturog.
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, by which his spirit was troubled, and his sleep broke from him.
2 Ket pinaayaban ti ari dagiti salamangkero ken dagiti mangibagbaga a kabaelanda ti makisarita kadagiti natay. Pinaayabanna pay dagiti managanito ken dagiti nasirib a lallaki. Kayatna nga ibagada kenkuana ti maipapan kadagiti tagtagainepna. Isu a simrekda ket nagtakderda iti sangoanan ti ari.
Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to show the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
3 Kinuna ti ari kadakuada, “Nagtagtagainepak, ket magagaranak a mangammo iti kayat a sawen ti tagtagainep.”
And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
4 Ket nakisarita dagiti nasirib a lallaki iti ari babaen iti pagsasao nga Arameo, “O Ari, agbiagka iti agnanayon! Ibagam ti tagtagainep kadakami nga adipenmo, ket ibagami ti kaipapananna.”
Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Syrian, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
5 Insungbat ti ari kadagiti nasirib a lallaki, “Naikeddengen daytoy a banag. No saanyo a maibaga ti tagtagainep kaniak ken ti kaipapanan daytoy, marangrangkayto dagiti bagiyo ken agbalin a gabsuon dagiti rugit dagiti balayyo.
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known to me the dream, with the interpretation of it, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a refuse heap.
6 Ngem no maibagayo kaniak ti tagtagainep ken ti kaipapanan daytoy, makaawatkayo kadagiti sagut manipud kaniak, maysa a gunggona ken dakkel a pammadayaw. Isu nga ibagayo kaniak ti tagtagainep ken ti kaipapanan daytoy.”
But if ye shall show the dream, and the interpretation of it, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation of it.
7 Insungbatda manen ket kinunada, “Ibaga koma ti ari kadakami nga adipenna, ti tagtagainep ket ibagami kenka ti kaipapanan daytoy.”
They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.
8 Simmungbat ti ari, “Ammok a kayatyo ti at-atiddog pay a tiempo gapu ta makitayo ti natibker a pangngeddengko maipapan iti daytoy.
The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
9 Ngem no saanyo a maibaga kaniak ti tagtagainep, maysa laeng ti sentensia para kadakayo. Inkeddengyo ti mangisagana iti palso ken manangallilaw a sasao a nagnunumoanyo nga ibaga kaniak agingga nga agbaliw ti panunotko. Isu nga Ibagayo kaniak ti tagtagainep, ket maammoak a kabaelanyo nga ibaga ti kaipapanan daytoy para kaniak.”
But if ye will not make known to me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation of it.
10 Insungbat dagiti nasirib a lallaki iti ari, “Awan ti uray maysa a tao iti daga a makabael a mangibaga iti kalikagum ti ari. Awan ti nabileg ken mannakabalin nga ari ti agkalikagum iti kasta manipud iti siasinoman a salamangkero, wenno manipud iti siasinoman a mangibagbaga a kabaelanda ti makisarita kadagiti natay wenno manipud iti maysa a nasirib a tao.
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can reveal the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that hath asked such things of any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
11 Narigat ti kalkalikaguman ti ari, ket awan ti siasinoman a makaibaga iti daytoy iti ari malaksid kadagiti didios, ket saanda a makipagnanaed kadagiti tattao.”
And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is no other that can reveal it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
12 Daytoy ti nangpaunget ken nangpapungtot unay iti ari, ket imbilinna a mapapatay dagiti amin nga adda iti Babilonia a nalatak gapu iti kinasiribda.
For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
13 Isu a naiwaragawag ti bilin. Mapapatay dagiti amin a nalatak gapu iti kinasiribda; binirokda ni Daniel ken dagiti gagayyemna tapno mapapatayda met.
And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
14 Ket simmungbat ni Daniel nga addaan iti kinaannad ken kinatimbeng kenni Arioc a pangulo dagiti guardia ti ari, nga immay a mangpapatay kadagiti amin a nalatak idiay Babilonia gapu iti kinasiribda.
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
15 Sinaludsod ni Daniel iti panguloen dagiti guardia ti ari, “Apay a naganat unay ti bilin ti ari?” Imbaga ngarud ni Arioc kenni Daniel ti napasamak.
He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16 Kalpasanna, simrek ni Daniel ket kiniddawna a mangikeddeng ti ari iti tiempo tapno maibagana ti kaipapanan ti tagtagainep iti ari.
Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.
17 Kalpasanna, nagawid ni Daniel ket inlawlawagna kada Hananias, Misael, ken Azarias ti napasamak.
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
18 Ginuyugoyna ida nga agpakaasida iti Dios ti langit maipapan iti daytoy a misterio tapno saanda a mapapatay a kaduada dagiti dadduma a lallaki ti Babilonia a nalatak gapu iti kinasiribda.
That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Iti dayta a rabii, naiparang kenni Daniel ti palimed babaen iti maysa a sirmata. Ket dinaydayaw ni Daniel ti Dios ti langit
Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 ket kinunana, “Madaydayaw ti nagan ti Dios iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana; ta kukuana ti kinasirib ken pannakabalin.
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 Balbaliwanna dagiti tiempo ken dagiti panawen; Ik-ikkatenna dagiti ari ket isasaadna dagiti ari kadagiti tronoda. Ik-ikkanna iti kinasirib dagiti nasirib ken ik-ikkanna iti pannakaammo dagiti addaan pannakaawat.
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22 Iparparangna dagiti nauneg ken nailemmeng a banbanag gapu ta ammona no ania ti adda iti kasipngetan, ken agnanaed kenkuana ti lawag.
He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
23 O Dios dagiti kapuonak, agyaman ken agdaydayawak kenka gapu iti kinasirib ken pannakabalin nga intedmo kaniak. Ita, impakaammom kaniak ti inkararagmi kenka; impakaammom kadakami ti banag a pakaseknan ti ari.”
I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known to me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known to us the king’s matter.
24 Gapu amin kadagitoy, napan ni Daniel kenni Ariok, ti dinutokan ti ari a mangpapatay kadagiti amin a nasirib iti Babilonia. Napan ket kinunana kenkuana, “Saanmo a papatayen dagiti nasirib a lallaki iti Babilonia. Kadduaannak a mapan iti sangoanan ti ari ket ibagak ti kaipapanan ti tagtagainep iti ari.”
Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus to him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will reveal to the king the interpretation.
25 Ket dagus nga impan ni Arioc ni Daniel iti sangoanan ti ari ket kinunana, “Nakasapulak iti maysa a lalaki manipud kadagiti napagtalaw a kas balud ti Juda a makaibaga iti kaipapanan ti tagtagainep ti ari.”
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known to the king the interpretation.
26 Kinuna ti ari kenni Daniel (a naawagan iti Beltesazar), “Kabaelam kadi nga ibaga kaniak ti natagtagainepko ken ti kaipapanan daytoy?”
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it?
27 Simmungbat ni Daniel iti ari ket kinunana, “Ti misterio a kinalikaguman ti ari ket a saan a maibaga dagiti addaan iti kinasirib, wenno dagiti mangibagbaga a kabaelanda ti makisarita kadagiti natay, wenno dagiti salamangkero, ken saan a maibaga dagiti astrologo.
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, cannot reveal to the king;
28 Nupay kasta, adda Dios nga agnanaed kadagiti langit, a mangiparparangarang kadagiti palimed, ket impakaammona kenka, O Ari Nebucadnezar, dagiti mapasamakto kadagiti sumaruno nga al-aldaw. Ti tagtagainepmo ken dagiti sirmata iti panunotmo bayat nga agid-iddaka iti pagiddaam ket dagitoy:
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
29 No maipapan kenka, O ari, dagiti panpanunotem iti pagiddaam ket maipapan kadagiti banbanag a mapasamakto iti masakbayan, ket impakaammo kenka ti mangiparparang kadagiti palimed ti mapasamakto.
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass after this: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
30 No maipapan kaniak, saan a naiparang kaniak daytoy a palimed gapu ta nasirsiribak ngem iti siasinoman a sibibiag a tao. Naiparang kaniak daytoy a palimed tapno sika, O ari, maawatam koma ti kaipapananna, ken tapno maammoam koma dagiti kapanunotan iti kaunggam.
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mayest know the thoughts of thy heart.
31 O ari, timmangadka ket nakakitaka iti maysa a dakkel nga estatua. Nakatakder iti sangoanam daytoy nga estatua a nabileg ken naraniag unay. Nakabutbuteng ti kinaraniagna.
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and its form was terrible.
32 Ti ulo ti estatua ket naaramid iti puro a balitok. Ti barukong ken dagiti takkiagna ket naaramid iti pirak. Ti tian ken dagiti luppona ket naaramid iti bronse, ken dagiti gurongna ket naaramid iti landok.
The head of this image was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33 Dagiti sakana ket naaramid iti naglaok a landok ken damili.
His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Timmangadka ket maysa a bato ti nargaay, uray no kasta, saan a babaen kadagiti ima ti tao, ket naitupak daytoy kadagiti saka ti estatua a naaramid iti naglaok a landok ken damili, ket nawarawara dagitoy.
Thou sawest till a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.
35 Kalpasanna, naggigiddan a naburak ti landok, damili, bronse, pirak ken balitok ket nagbalin a kasla taep ti pagirikan iti kalgaw. Naiyangin dagitoy ket awanen ti nabati a pakakitaan kadagitoy. Ngem ti bato a naitupak iti estatua ket nagbalin a dakkel a bantay ket pinunnona ti entero a daga.
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
36 Daytoy ti tagtagainepmo. Ita, ibagami iti ari ti kaipapanan ti tagtagainepna.
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation of it before the king.
37 Sika, O ari, ket ari dagiti ar-ari a nangitedan ti Dios ti langit iti pagarian, ti pannakabalin, bileg ken dayaw.
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 Inyawatna iti imam ti disso a pagnanaedan dagiti tattao. Inyawatna iti imam dagiti ayup iti kataltalonan ken dagiti billit iti tangatang, ken pinaiturayanna amin ida kenka. Sika ti balitok nga ulo ti estatua.
And wherever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
39 Kalpasan ti panagturaymo, tumaudto ti maysa pay a pagarian a saan a nabilbileg ngem sika, ngem agturayto iti entero a daga ti maikatlo a pagarian ti bronse.
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
40 Addanto maikapat a pagarian a kas katibker ti landok, gapu ta buraken ti landok dagiti dadduma a banbanag ken warawaraen daytoy dagiti amin a banag. Warawaraen ken rumekento daytoy dagiti amin a banbanag.
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 Kas iti nakitam, naglaok a damili ken landok dagiti saka ken ramay daytoy, isu a magudduanto daytoy a pagarian; addanto iti daytoy ti dadduma a tibker ti landok kas iti nakitam a nailaok ti landok iti damili.
And though thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay.
42 Gapu ta naaramid dagiti saka ken ramay iti naglaok a landok ken damili, kastanto met ti pagarian, napigsanto ti dadduma a paset ket narasinto ti dadduma a paset.
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 Kas iti nakitam, nailaok ti landok iti damili, isu nga aglalaokto dagiti tattao; saandanto a nadekket iti tunggal maysa, kas iti saan a pannakailaok ti landok iti damili.
And though thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not join one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 Kadagiti al-aldaw dagitoy nga ar-ari, mangipasdekto ti Dios ti langit iti maysa a pagarian a saanto a pulos a madadael wenno maparmek dagiti sabali a tattao. Burakento daytoy dagiti dadduma a pagarian ken gibusannanto amin dagitoy, ket agtalinaedto daytoy iti agnanayon.
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Kas iti nakitam, maysa a bato ti nareggaay manipud iti bantay, ngem saan a babaen kadagiti ima ti tao. Binurakburak daytoy ti landok, bronse, damili, pirak ken balitok. Impakaammo kenka ti naindaklan a Dios, O ari, no ania ti mapasamakto kalpasan daytoy. Pudno ti tagtagainep ken mapagtalkan ti kaipapanan daytoy.”
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass after this: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation of it sure.
46 Nagpakleb ni Ari Nebucadnesar iti sangoanan ni Daniel ket pinadayawanna isuna; imbilinna nga agidatonda ken mangpuorda iti insenso tapno padayawan isuna.
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours to him.
47 Kinuna ti ari kenni Daniel, “Pudno a ti Diosmo ket Dios dagiti dios, ti Apo dagiti ari, ken ti mangiparparang kadagiti palimed, ta nabaelam nga imparang daytoy a misterio.”
The king answered to Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
48 Ket pinadayawan ti ari ni Daniel iti kasta unay, ken inikkanna isuna iti adu a sagut. Pinagbalinna isuna a mangituray iti entero a probinsia ti Babilonia. Nagbalin ni Daniel a kangatoan a gobernador kadagiti kasisiriban a lallaki ti Babilonia.
Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
49 Nagkiddaw ni Daniel iti ari, ket dinutokan ti ari da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego nga agbalin nga administrador iti entero a probinsia ti Babilonia. Ngem nagtalinaed ni Daniel iti palasio ti ari.
Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
