Taneo 2

1 Hagi Nebukatnesa'ma nampa 2 kafuma kinima mania kafufina, mago'a ava'naramina ke'ne. Ana avanaramima keteno'a tusi antahintahi hakare nehuno avura omase'ne.

[One night] during the second year that Nebuchadnezzar ruled, he had a dream. The dream worried him very much; and [as a result] he could not sleep.

2 Anama huteno'a ana ava'namofo agafa'ama eme eriama'ma hanazegura, zamavune vahe'ma, zamema nentaza vahe'ma, henkama fore hania zanku'ma kasnampagema nehaza vahetegane Kaldia vaheteganena kea atregeno vuno eno hu'ne. Hagi ana kea antahi'za kini ne'mofo avuga emeri atru hutazageno,

[The next morning] he summoned his men who worked magic, fortune-tellers, those who worked sorcery, and those who studied the stars. [Because he had forgotten what he had dreamed, ] he insisted that they tell him what he had dreamed. As they stood there in front of the king,

3 Kini ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nagra mase'ne'na mago ava'na kete'na, ana avanama ke'noa zankura inankna avana ke'noeha hu'na antahintahi hakare hu'noe.

he said, “I had a dream [last night] that worries me. [Tell me what I dreamed, because] I want to know what the dream [means].”

4 Hige'za ana Kaldia vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za Arami vahe zamagerupinti kenona'a hunte'naze. Kini ne'moka za'zate kinia maninka vugahane. Ana hu'negu kagri eri'za vahe mani'nonanki, ana ava'na huama hugeta nentahita, ana ava'namofo agafa'a eriama huta kasamineno!

The men who studied the stars replied to the king, speaking in the Aramaic [language]. They said, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we hope that you will live a long time! Tell us what you dreamed, and [then] we will tell you what it means!”

5 Hianagi kini ne'mo'a ana Kaldia vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne. Nagra tamage hu'na tamasamuankita, ana ava'nafima ke'noa zama onasamita, ana avana'mofo agafa'ama eri ama'ma huta onasami'nazana, vahe huzmante'nuge'za tamagrira tamahe'za rukafri kafro hutregahaze. Ana nehu'za tamagri nona tapage tapagu hu'za magopi eri hihi hugahaze.

But the king replied, “I have firmly decided that you must tell me the dream, and [also tell me] what it means. If you do not do that, I will [order my soldiers to] cut you into pieces, and to cause your houses to become only piles of stones!

6 Hianagi ana ava'nafima ke'noa zama nenasamita, ana ava'namofo agafa'ama eri ama'ma huta nasamisage'na, nagra rama'a museza nerami'na rantamagi tamigahue. E'ina hu'negu menina ana avanamofo agafa'a eriama huta nasamiho.

But if you tell me what I dreamed and what it means, I will reward you. I will give you wonderful gifts and greatly honor you. So tell me what I dreamed and what it means!”

7 Hagi mago'ene ana vahe'mo'za kini nera amanage hu'za asami'naze. Hagi kini ne'moka, ana avanaka'a huama hunka kagri eri'za vahe'mota tasamitegeta antahiteta, ana ava'namofo agafa'a huama huta kasami'neno.

But again they said, “Tell us what you dreamed, and [then] we will tell you what it means.”

8 Hazageno kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, tamagrama antahi'zana zazate nanekea huta avazu huta nevanunkeno, ko'ma huvempama hu'nea nanekea atreno antahintahi'a rukrahe hugahie huta nehaze.

The king replied, “I know that you are just trying to get more time, because you know that I will do to you what I said that I would do.

9 Hagi ana ava'nafima ke'noa zamofo agafa'ama eri ama'ma huta onasaminage'na, mago avamenteke knazana tamigahuema hu'noa kegu tamagesa nentahita, tamagra mago tamarimpa huta, antahintahi'a rukrahe hugahie huta havige huta nagrira renavatga nehaze. Ana hu'negu menina ana avana kema nasami'nage'na antahisuna, ana avana'mofo agafa'anena eri ama huta nasamigahaze hu'na hugahue.

If you do not tell me what I dreamed, you will be punished. [I think that] you have all agreed to tell me lies and [other] wicked things, because you hope that I will change ([my mind/what I am thinking]). But tell me the dream, and [then] I will know that you can [also] tell me what it means.”

10 Hanki ana Kaldia vahe'mo'za kini ne'mofona amanage hu'za kenona hunte'naze. Kini ne'moka tagriku'ma hihoma hunkama hana zana, magore huno ama mopafima mani'nea vahe'mo'a huamara huno onkasamigahie. Kini ne'moka ko'ma ama mopafima hankavenentake hu'za ra zamagima eri'za mani'naza kini vahe'mo'za, e'inahu agenoka zamavune vahe'ma, zamema nentaza vahe'ma, henkama fore hania zanku'ma huama nehaza vahe'mokizmia zamantahi onke'nazankna agenoka kagra tantahinegane.

The men who studied the stars replied, “There is no one on the earth who can do what you ask! There is no king, [even] a great and mighty king, who has [ever] asked his men who work magic or his fortune-tellers or men who study the stars to do something like that!

11 Kini ne'moka tagri'ma tantahimagana zama eri ama'ma hu'amo'a, tusiza huno amuho tavesie. Ana hu'neankino mago vahe'mo'a eri amara huno onkasamigahianki, vahe'enena nomaniza anumzantamimoke ana zana eri amara hugahie.

What you are asking [us to do] is impossible. Only the gods can tell you what you dreamed, and they do not live among us!”

12 Kini nemo'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a, tusi arimpa nehegeno, Babiloni mopamofo agu'afima antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'naza vahera zamahe hana hihogu sondia vahera huzmante'ne.

The king was very angry when he heard that, so he commanded [his soldiers] that they execute all such wise men in Babylon.

13 Antahi'zane vahe'ma zamahe fri nanekemo'a mago kasege efore hige'za, antahi'zane vahera zamahe hana hunaku vu'za e'za hu'naze. Ana nehazage'za mago'a vahera huzmantazage'za Danieline 3'a nagara ome hake'za zamahe frinaku vu'naze.

And because of what the king commanded, they sent some men to find me and my [three] friends, to execute us [also].

14 Hanki kini ne'mofo avate'ma kegavama nehaza sondia vahete kva ne' Arioku'a, Babiloni mopamofo agu'afima antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'naza vahera zamahe fri'naku vu'ne. Anama nehigeno'a Danieli'a knare antahi'zama'areti Arioku'enena keaga hu'ne.

Arioch, the commander of the king’s guards, came to kill us. But I spoke to him very wisely and tactfully/skillfully.

15 Danieli'a amanage huno Arioku'na antahige'ne. Na'ane huno kini ne'mo'a e'ina hu hankave kasegea anakino, antahi'zane vahera zamahe frigahue huno nehie? Anagema higeno'a Arioku'a anazamofo agafa'a eriama huno Danielina asami'ne.

I asked Arioch, “Why has the king made such a harsh/terrible decree?” So Arioch told me all that had happened [because of the king’s dream].

16 Anante Danieli'a ame huno kini nete vuno, Osi'a kna naminege'na ana ava'namofo agafa'a eriama hu'na kasami'neno huno ome antahige'ne.

I [immediately] went to talk to the king and requested that the king give me some time, so that I could find out [what the dream was and] what the dream meant.

17 Ana kerera kini ne'mo'a hu i'zo higeno, Danieli'a noma'arega vuno 3'a afuhe'ina Hananiane, Misaheline, Azaria kizmia ana nanekea omerinte ama huno nezmasamino,

Then I went home, and I told my friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, what had happened.

18 amanage hu'ne, monafinkama mani'nea Anumzamofontega nunamu hanunkeno, agra asunku huneranteno ana ava'namofo agafa'a erinte ama huno tasami'nie. Anama hanigeno'a tagri'ene, ruga'a knare antahi'zane vahe'ma Babilonima mani'naza vahe'enena kini ne'mo'a tahe ofrigahie huno hu'ne.

I urged them to ask God, who lives/rules in heaven, to have mercy on us by telling us the secret [meaning of what the king dreamed], in order that we and the other wise men in Babylon would not be executed.

19 Hagi ana kenagera Danieli'a mase'negeno, Anumzamo'a ana ava'nane, ana avanamofo agafa'a, ava'nagna zampi erinte ama huno averi hu'ne. Anama higeno'a monafinkama mani'nea Anumzamofo agi'a Danieli'a ahentesga huno,

And that night [God] gave to me a vision in which he revealed the secret. Then I praised God,

20 amanage hu'ne, Maka kna Anumzamofo agi'a ahentesga huvava hugahune. Na'ankure knare antahi'zane, maka hankavenena Anumzamofopinke me'ne.

saying, “We should praise God [MTY] forever, because [only] he truly is wise and powerful.

21 Ama mopafima ruzahu ruzahu knama fore'ma nehiana, Anumzamo Agrake higeno fore nehie. Agrake kini vahera azeri fore nehuno, azeri netreno nehie. Ana nehuno Agrake knare antahi'zana vahe'mofona amigeno ama' antahi'zana enerie.

He determines what events will happen through the years. He removes [some] kings and gives their authority to [new] kings. He is the one who causes people to become wise and enables those who study to understand [many] things.

22 Framakino oku'ama me'nea zana Anumzamoke eri ama huno vahera nezamasamino, masare nemania Anumzankino hanimofo agu'afima me'nea zana keno antahino hu'ne. Ana hu'neankino Agra masafi nemania Anumza mani'ne.

He reveals things that are very mysterious; he is surrounded by light, but he knows things that are hidden [as though they were] in the darkness.

23 Nagri nagehe'mokizmi Anumzamoka muse hunegante'na Kagri kagia ahentesga nehue. Na'ankure knare antahi'zane, hankavenena Kagra nenamine. Ana nehunka kini ne'mofo ava'nagu'ma nunamuma hutama kantahigona zana, Kagra eri ama' hunka nasami'ne.

God, whom my ancestors [worshiped], I thank you and I praise you, because you have caused me to be wise and made me strong. You have told me what my friends and I asked you to tell us; and you have revealed to us what the king demanded to know.”

24 Hagi anante kini ne'mo'ma Babiloni mopamofo agu'afima knare antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'naza vahe'ma vunka zamahe frio huno'ma hunte'nea ne' Ariokunte Danieli'a vuno, amanage huno ome asami'ne. Knare antahi'zane vahe'ma Babiloni mopamofo agu'afima mani'naza vahera kagra zamahe ofrinka nezmantrenka navrenka kini nete vuge'na, kini ne'mofo ava'na ome eriama hu'na asami'neno.

Then I went to Arioch, the man whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men in Babylon. I said to him, “Do not kill those wise men. Take me to the king, and I will tell him what his dream means.”

25 Anante Arioku'a, Danielina ame huno avreno kini nete vuno, amanage huno kini nera ome asami'ne. Juda nagapinti vene'nema kinama eme hu'naza nagapintira mago nera ama hakena avre'na oankino, kagrama ke'nana ava'namofo agafa'a erinte ama huno kasamigahie.

So Arioch quickly took me to the king. He said to the king, “I have found [this man], one of the men whom we brought from Judah who [says he can] can tell you what your dream means!”

26 Anante kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Danielina mago agi'a Belsasana antahige'ne. Nagrama ava'nafima ke'noa zana nenasaminka, ana ava'namofo agafa'a eri amara hunka nasamigahano?

The king said to me, whose [new] name was Belteshazzar, “[Is this true]? Can you tell me what I dreamed and what it means?”

27 Anagema higeno'a Danieli'a amanage huno kini nera asami'ne. Mago antahi'zane vahemo'o, amema nentea vahemo'o, avune vahe'mo'o, henka fore hania zanku'ma kasnampa nanekema nehaza vahe'mo'za, anama ke'nana ava'namofo agafa'a erinte ama hu'za kini nemoka kasamigara osu'naze.

I replied, “There are no wise men or fortune-tellers or men who work magic or men who work sorcery who can tell such things to you.

28 Hianagi monafinkama mani'nea Anumzamo, fra'ma kino oku'ama me'nea zana eri fore nehia Anumza mani'neankino, Anumzamo'a henkama fore hania zamofo sipakare'ma masenankeno'a ava'nafi kini ne'moka eri kaveri hu'ne.

But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets. And he has shown in [your dream] what will happen in the future. Now I will tell you what you dreamed, the vision you saw [as you were lying] on your bed.

29 Hagi kini ne'moka kagrama mase'nenka'ma ava'nama ke'nanana, henkama fore'ma haniaza ke'nane. Ana hu'neankino oku'ama framakino me'nea zama erifore nehia Anumzamo, ana ava'na eri kaveri hu'ne.

O King, while you were sleeping, you dreamed about events that will happen in the future. The one who reveals mysteries has shown you what is going to happen.

30 Hagi ama ana ava'namofo agafa'ama eriama'ma huno nagri'ma nasami'neana, nagra mago'a antahi'zane vahera zamagatere'na, antahi'zana eri'nogu huno anara osu'ne, i'o. Anumzamo ana ava'namofo agafa'a nasami'neanki'na, huama hanugenka ava'na kamofo agafa'a antahi ama' hugahane.

And it is not because I am wiser than anyone else on earth that I know the meaning of this mysterious dream. It is because God wanted you to understand what you were thinking.

31 Hagi kini ne'mokama ava'nama ke'nampina, mago ne'mofo amema'a kavuga oti'negenka ke'nane. Ana amema'amo'a tusizankna huno masanentake huno ruzahukna hu'negenka negenka tusi koro hu'nane.

O King, [in your vision] you saw in front of you a huge and terrifying statue [of a man. It was] shining very brightly, and it was frightening and awesome.

32 Ana vahe amema'amofo aseni'a goliretike tro nehu'za, tare azantrene amimiza'a silvareti tro nehu'za, amukofareti'ma uramino amote'ma ome atre'neana, bronsireti tro nehuno,

The head of the statue was [made] of pure gold. Its chest and arms [were made of] silver. Its belly and thighs [were made of] bronze.

33 arenareti'ma urami'nea agiararena ainireti tro hu'naze. Hagi agia'a ainireti'ene higo hapateti eri havia huza tro hu'naze.

Its legs [were made of] iron, and its feet were a mixture of clay and iron.

34 E'i anama hunkama avanama negankeno'a, mago havea vahe'mo azampinti rutamana huotre'neaki, agonafinti agra'a atamanasiteno eramino, ana vahe amema'amofo agiararema, ainireti'ene higo hapatetima eri haviama hu'za tro'ma hu'naza agia rarena rufuzafupetre'ne.

As you watched, something cut a rock [from a mountain, but it was] not a human [who cut it]. The rock [tumbled down and] smashed the feet of the statue, feet [that were made of] iron and clay. It smashed them to bits.

35 Ana higeno ana maka ainine, higo hapa'ene, bronsine, silvane, golinena magokage rufuzufupegeno, witima neharegeno zaho'mo eno, onoma'a magore huno otreno eme eri harafima huno viaza huno erino vu'ne. Hianagi anama eno ana vahe amema'ama rufuzafupea havemo'a, ra agona seteno maka ama mopa ruvite'ne.

Then the rest of the statue collapsed into a big heap of iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold. The pieces of the statue were as small as bits of chaff on the ground where it is threshed, and the wind blew away all the tiny pieces. There was nothing left. But the rock that smashed the statue became a large mountain that covered the whole earth.

36 Hagi kini ne'moka e'inahu ava'na ke'nanankita menina ana ava'namofo agafa'a eriama huta kasamigahune.

That was what you dreamed. Now I will tell you what it means.

37 Kini ne'moka, kagra maka kinia zamagaterenka vugote'nane. Hagi monafinkama mani'nea Anumzamo kagrira kinia manio huno huhamprigenka kinia mani'nankeno hankavene rankaginena kami'ne.

You are a king [who rules] over [many other] kings. The God who rules in heaven has caused you to rule over them and has given you great power [DOU] and has honored you.

38 Ana nehuno kagrira hankavea kamigenka vahe'ene zaga kfane namaraminena kegava hu'nane. Ana hu'neankinka ana vahe amema'amofo aseni'ama golireti'ma tro hu'nagenka'ma kenanana, e'i kagra mani'nane.

He has caused you to be the ruler over all people, and [even] the animals and birds are controlled by you. [So] the head [of the statue] represents you.

39 Hanki henka'a kagri kamefira mago kini ne' efore hugahiankino, ana kini ne'mofo hankavemo'a, kagri hankavea agateoregahie. Hagi anantera nampa 3 kini efore huno, maka ama mopa kegava hugahie. Ana hu'neankino agra ana vahe amema'ama bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'nazankna hu'ne.

But after your [kingdom/rule] ends, there will be another [great] kingdom, [but it] will not be as great as yours. [The silver parts of the statue represent that kingdom]. Then there will be a third [great] kingdom [whose king] will rule over the whole earth. The bronze parts [of the statue represent] that kingdom.

40 Hagi ana amefira nampa 4kini efore hugahiankino, hankavenentake huno ainigna hugahie. Na'ankure ainimo'a maka'zana rufuzafu'nepeaza me'ne. Ana hu'neankino ainimo'ma maka'zama rufuzafunepeaza huno, ana kini ne'mo'a maka vahera hahu zamanteno zamazeri haviza huvagaregahie.

After that kingdom ends, there will be a fourth [great] kingdom. The iron [parts of the statue represent that kingdom]. [The army of] that kingdom will smash the previous kingdoms, just like iron smashes everything that it strikes.

41 Hagi ana ava'nafima ke'nanana, ana amema'amofo agia ainireti'ene higoreti'ene eri havia hu'za tro hu'naze. E'inama hu'neana, agafa'amo'a amanahu hu'ne. Ana kini ne'mo'ma kegavama hu'nesnia vahe'mo'za zamagrare zamagrare hu'za otitere hugahazankino, mago'amoza aenigna huza hankavenetisageno, mago'amo'za hankave otigahaze.

The feet and toes of the statue that you saw, that were a mixture of iron and clay, indicate that the kingdom they represent will [later] be divided.

42 Hagi ana vahe amema'amofo agia'a ainireti'ene higoreti eri haviama hu'za tro hu'nagenkama ke'nana zamofo agafa'amo'a amanahu hu'ne. Anama efore'ma hania kini nemo'ma kegavama hania vahe'mo'za, mago kaziga hankave netiszage'za, mago kaziga hankavea otigahaze.

Some parts of that kingdom will be as strong as iron, but some parts will not remain together, just as iron and clay do not stick together.

43 Ana vahe amema'amofo agiama ainireti'ene higoreti'ma eri haviama hu'za tro'ma hu'nagenka'ma ke'nana zamofo agafa'amo'a amanahu hu'ne. Anama refko haza kini vahe'mo'za mofa'nezmi omeri emeri nehu'za, eri mago hunaku hanazanagi, zamagra magopina omanigahaze. Na'ankure ainine higomo'enena ruohamprigaha'e.

The mixture of iron and clay [in the statue] shows also that the rulers of those kingdoms that separate from each other will try to form alliances with each other as a result of members of the royal families of those kingdoms marrying each other. But that will not succeed, just as iron and clay do not stick together.

44 Hagi anankini vahe'mo'zama kinima mani'zama esnaza knafina, Monafinkama nemania Anumzamo'a mago kasefa kuma (Kindom) erifore hugahiankino, mago vahe'mo'a eri havizana osutfa huge, mago vahe'mo'a eno hara hunora ana kumara ohanaregahie. Ana hu'neanki'za Anumzamo'ma eri fore hania kumapima mani'snaza vahe'mo'za, mago'a kini vahera zamazeri fenkami atre vaganere'za, zamagra manivava hu'za vugahaze.

But while those kings are ruling, God who rules in heaven will establish a kingdom that will never end. No one will ever defeat its king. He will completely destroy all those kingdoms, but his kingdom will remain forever.

45 Kagrama ana ava'nafima kankeno'a, mago havea vahe'mo azanuti ruofregeneanki, agra'a frageramino ana vahe amema'ama ainireti'ene bronsireti'ene hapa'ene silvareti'ene golireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza vahe amema'ama rufuzafupe'nea havemofo agafa'amo'a e'inahu hu'ne. Hagi Ra agi'ane Anumzamo'a henkama fore'ma haniaza kini nemoka ava'nafi eri kaveri hu'ne. Ama ana ava'na tamage ava'na ke'nane. Ana hu'neankino amama eri fore'ma hu'na kasamua kante anteno efore hugahie.

That is the meaning of the rock that something cut from the mountain, the rock that will crush to tiny bits the statue that is made of iron, bronze, silver, and gold. O king, the great God has shown you what will truly happen in the future. And you can trust [what I told you about] the meaning of the dream.”

46 Kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a Danieli'ma hia nanekema nentahino'a, Danielina agiafi avugosaregati kepri huno umaseno husga hunenteno, ofane mna nentake zantamina erita eta eme kre mna vunteho huno vahera zamasami'ne.

Then King Nebuchadnezzar prostrated himself in front of me [in great respect]. He commanded [his people] that they burn incense and burn an offering of grain to honor me.

47 Hanki anante kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Danielina asami'ne. Tamagerfa huno kagri Anumzamo'a anumzamokizmi Anumza mani'neno, kini vahe'mokizmi Razami mani'neno, oku'ma me'nea zama eri fore'ma nehia Anumza mani'ne. Ana hu'neankinka ava'nama ke'noa ava'namofo oku antahi'zama'a emeri ama hunka nasami'ne.

The king said to me, “[Your God has enabled] you to tell me the meaning of this dream/mystery, so now I truly know that your God is greater than all the other gods and all other kings. He reveals [to people] things that they cannot know.”

48 Anante kini ne'mo'a Danielina eri'zama'afintira avre anagamutegeno Babiloni mopafina ugota kva ne' mani'ne. Ana nehuno kini nemo'a mago'a marerirfa musezantami Danielina nemino, huntegeno Babiloni mopamofo agu'afima knare antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'naza vahera kegava huzmante'ne.

Then the king gave many gifts to me, and he [also] appointed me to rule over the entire province of Babylon, and [also] to be the boss of all his wise men.

49 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma anama nehigeno'a Danieli'a kini nera antahigegeno, Satrakine, Mesakine, Abetnekonena huhampri zamantege'za, Babiloni mopafina mago'a eri'zantera kegava hu'naze. Ana nehazageno Danieli'a agra kini ne'mofo nompi mani'ne.

I asked the king to appoint Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to [also] have important positions in Babylon province, and the king did what I asked him to do. But [I did my work while] I stayed at the king’s palace.
