Daniel 2
1 Iti maikadua a tawen ti panagturay ni Nebucadnesar, nagtagtagainep isuna. Nariribukan isuna, ket saanen a makaturog.
In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went 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 that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Kasdim be called to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
3 Kinuna ti ari kadakuada, “Nagtagtagainepak, ket magagaranak a mangammo iti kayat a sawen ti tagtagainep.”
The king said to them, “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is 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 Kasdim spoke to the king in the Syrian language, “O king, live forever! Tell your 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 the Kasdim, “The thing has gone from me. If you don’t make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut in pieces, and your houses will be made a dunghill.
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 you show the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.”
7 Insungbatda manen ket kinunada, “Ibaga koma ti ari kadakami nga adipenna, ti tagtagainep ket ibagami kenka ti kaipapanan daytoy.”
They answered the second time and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”
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, “I know of a certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see the thing has 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 you don’t make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until the situation changes. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can show me its interpretation.”
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 Kasdians answered the king and said, “There is not a man on the earth who can show the king’s matter, because no king, lord, or ruler has asked such a thing of any magician, enchanter, 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.”
It is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show 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.
Because of this, the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.
13 Isu a naiwaragawag ti bilin. Mapapatay dagiti amin a nalatak gapu iti kinasiribda; binirokda ni Daniel ken dagiti gagayyemna tapno mapapatayda met.
So the decree went out, and the wise men were to be slain. 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 returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill 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 Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree so urgent 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.
Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and 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 would 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 the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. 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, “Blessed be the name of God forever 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.
He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.
22 Iparparangna dagiti nauneg ken nailemmeng a banbanag gapu ta ammona no ania ti adda iti kasipngetan, ken agnanaed kenkuana ti lawag.
He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells 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 you and praise you, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have 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 appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him: “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show 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 this to him: “I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah who 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 Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?”
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 before the king, and said, “The secret which the king has demanded can’t be shown to the king by wise men, enchanters, magicians, or soothsayers;
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 who reveals secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your 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 you, O king, your thoughts came on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what will happen.
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 to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your 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.
“You, O king, saw, and behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its appearance was terrifying.
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.
As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
33 Dagiti sakana ket naaramid iti naglaok a landok ken damili.
its legs of iron, its 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.
You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in 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 the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck 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 its interpretation 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.
You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the 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.
Wherever the children of men dwell, he has given the animals of the field and the birds of the sky into your hand, and has made you rule over them all. You are the 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.
“After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you; and another third kingdom of bronze, which will 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.
The fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and crush.
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.
Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay and part of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but there will be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with 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.
As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
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.
Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they won’t cling to one another, even as iron does not mix 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.
“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left to another people; but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.
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.”
Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will happen hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”
46 Nagpakleb ni Ari Nebucadnesar iti sangoanan ni Daniel ket pinadayawanna isuna; imbilinna nga agidatonda ken mangpuorda iti insenso tapno padayawan isuna.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odors 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 your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to 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 great and gave him many great gifts, and made him rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor 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.
Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon, but Daniel was in the king’s gate.
