Daniel 2

1 Ke yac se akluo in pacl Nebuchadnezzar el tokosra, el oru sie mweme. Yokla fohs lal kac, oru el kofla motul.

And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.

2 Ouinge el sapla solama mwet susfa lal, mwet inutnut, mwet sramsram nu sin inut, ac mwet mwenmen lal in tuku ac aketeya mweme sac nu sel. Ke elos tuku ac tu ye mutun tokosra,

And the king commanded to call the scribes, and the magicians, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to shew the king his dreams; and they came and stood before the king.

3 el fahk nu selos, “Nga arulana fohsak ke mweme se nga oru. Nga ke etu lah mea kalmac.”

And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

4 Elos topuk tokosra ke kas Aramaic, “Lela in loes moul lun tokosra! Fahkma nu sesr mweme sacn, ac kut ac fah aketeya nu sum.”

And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, O king, live for ever! tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.

5 Ac tokosra el fahk nu selos, “Nga sulela tari mu komtal ac fahkma nu sik mweme sac, na aketeya lah mea kalmac. Komtal fin tia ku, nga ac sap in sreyuki monumtal nu ke ip srisrik, ac lohm sumtal an in rakinyuki nwe ke orala yol in kutkut.

The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The command is gone forth from me: If ye do not make known unto me the dream, and its interpretation, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

6 A komtal fin fahkma nu sik mweme sac oayapa kalmac, na nga ac fah akfulatye komtal ac sot mwe moul yohk. Kwal, fahkma lah mea mweme sac, ac mea kalmac.”

But if ye shew the dream and its interpretation, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour; therefore shew me the dream and its interpretation.

7 Elos sifilpa topkol tokosra ac fahk, “Leum lasr fin fahkma na lah mweme fuka se, na kut ac fah akkalemye kalmac an.”

They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.

8 Ke elos fahk ouinge ah, na tokosra el liksreni na fahk, “Ma na nga nunku ah ingan! Komtal suk na ma in eisla pacl, mweyen komtal etu na lah nga akola

The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the word is gone forth from me;

9 in sot nu sumtal lupan kaiyuk sefanna komtal fin tia fahkma kalmen mweme sac. Komtal pwapani komtal in tuku fahk kas kikiap in sisla pacl, mweyen komtal nunku mu nga ac ku in ekulla ma nga fahk uh. Fahkma lah mea mweme sac, na nga ac etu lah komtal ac ku in aketeya pac kalmac uh nu sik.”

but if ye do not make known unto 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 shew me its interpretation.

10 Ac mwet kasru fulat inge topuk ac fahk, “Wangin sie mwet fin faclu nufon ac ku in fahkot nu sin tokosra ma kom ke etu an. Wangin sie tokosra, finne tokosra se ma pwengpeng, ku yohk oemeet ku la, nu oru kain sap upa se ingan nu sin mwet susfa lal, mwet inutnut, ac mwet mwenmen lal.

The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter; therefore there is no king, however great and powerful, that hath asked such a thing of any scribe, or magician, or Chaldean.

11 Ma tokosra siyuk ingan arulana upa, oru wangin mwet ku in fahkot nu sin tokosra sayen god uh, a god inge tia muta inmasrlon mwet uh.”

For the thing that the king demandeth is extraordinary, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

12 Ke elos fahk ouinge, tokosra el foloyak, ac sap in anwukla nufon mwet kasru fulat lal in acn Babylon.

For this cause the king was irritated and very wroth, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

13 Ouinge sapkakinyuk tuh in anwuki elos nufon, welulang pac Daniel ac mwet kawuk lal ah.

And the decree went forth that the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to slay them.

14 Na Daniel el som nu yorol Arioch, su leum fin mwet karinginyal tokosra, su itukyang kunal in uniya mwet inge. Daniel el arulana sulela wo kas elan fahk,

Then Daniel answered with counsel and prudence to Arioch the chief of the king's bodyguard, who had gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:

15 ac el siyuk sel Arioch lah efu ku tokosra el orala ma sap na upa se inge. Ouinge Arioch el aketeya nu sel Daniel ma sikyak uh.

he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so rigorous from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

16 In pacl sacna Daniel el som ac eis ku sin mwet fulat lun inkul uh in kolla kutu srisrik pacl uh, elan ku in akkalemye nu sin tokosra kalmen mweme sah.

And Daniel went in, and requested of the king that he would give him time, that he might shew the king the interpretation.

17 Na Daniel el folokla nu yen el muta we, ac fahk nu sin mwet kawuk lal, Hananiah, Mishael, ac Azariah ke ma su sikyak inge.

Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions;

18 El fahk nu selos in pre nu sin God inkusrao tuh Elan pakoten nu selos ac ikasla kalmen ma lukma se inge nu selos, tuh elos fah tia anwuki wi mwet kasru fulat saya in acn Babylon.

that they would desire mercies of the God of the heavens concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19 Na in fong sacna ma lukma se inge ikakla nu sel Daniel in sie aruruma, ac el kaksakin God inkusrao, ac fahk,

Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of the heavens.

20 “God El lalmwetmet ac kulana! Kaksakunul nwe tok ma pahtpat.

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; For wisdom and might are his.

21 El nununku pacl uh ac ekyek lun pulan pacl uh; El tulokunak ac ikruiya tokosra uh; El pa sang etauk ac lalmwetmet.

And it is he that changeth times and seasons; He deposeth kings, and setteth up kings; He giveth wisdom to the wise, And knowledge to them that know understanding.

22 El ikasla kalmen ma lukma ac ma loal kalmac; El etu ma su oan wikla in lohsr uh, Ac El sifacna rauniyukla ke kalem.

It is he that revealeth the deep and secret things; He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

23 Nga kaksakin kom ac akfulatye kom, God lun mwet matu luk. Kom ase ku nu sik ac etauk luk; Kom topokma pre luk, Ac akkalemye nu sesr ma kut in fahk nu sin tokosra.”

I thank thee, and I praise thee, O God of my fathers, Who hast given me wisdom and might, And hast made known unto me already what we desired of thee; For thou hast made known unto us the king's matter.

24 Na Daniel el som nu yorol Arioch, su tuh supweyuk in uniya mwet kasru fulat lun tokosra inge, ac el fahk nu sel, “Nimet kom onelosla. Usyula nu yorol tokosra ac nga fah fahkang nu sel kalmen mweme se lal ah.”

Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus unto him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.

25 Kitin pacl ah na Arioch el usalak Daniel nu ye mutal tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Nga konauk sie sin mwet Israel ma wi sruoh, su ac ku in fahkak nu sin tokosra kalmen mweme se lom.”

Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him: I have found a man of the sons of the captivity of Judah that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

26 Na tokosra el fahk nu sel Daniel (su oayapa pangpang Belteshazzar), “Kom ku in fahkma mweme se luk ah, ac aketeya lah mea kalmac?”

The king answered and said unto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?

27 Ac Daniel el topuk, “O Tokosra, wangin mwet mwenmen, mwet inutnut, mwet susfa, ku mwet tuni ma oan yen engyeng uh, su ac ku in fahkak nu sum ma se ingan.

Daniel answered in the presence of the king and said, The secret that the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the magicians, the scribes, the astrologers, shew unto the king;

28 Tusruktu, oasr sie God inkusrao su ikasla ma lukma uh. El akkalemye nu sin Tokosra ma su ac sikyak in pacl fahsru uh. Ac inge nga ac fahkot mweme sacn, su kom arurumai ke kom motul.

but there is a God in the heavens, who revealeth secrets, and maketh known to king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be at the end of days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed are these:

29 “Ke pacl se tokosra tuh motul ah, tokosra mwemei ma ac sikyak in pacl tok uh; ac God, su ikasla kalmen ma lukma, El akkalemye ma ac sikyak uh.

— as for thee, O king, thy thoughts arose upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter; and he that revealeth secrets hath made known to thee what shall come to pass.

30 Ma lukma se inge akkalemyeyukme nu sik, tia ke sripen nga lalmwetmet liki kutena mwet, a tuh Tokosra in ku in etu kalmen mweme sac, ac in kalem ke nunak su sikyak nu sin tokosra.

And as for me, this secret is revealed to me, not by [any] wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation should be made known to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.

31 “O Tokosra, in aruruma sac, tokosra tuh liye sie ma sruloala na yohk tu ye mutun tokosra — arulana kalem ac saromrom, ac mwe aksangeng in liyeyuk.

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold, a great image. This image was mighty and its brightness excellent; it stood before thee, and its appearance was terrible.

32 Sifa ah orekla ke gold ma wo emeet; iniwa ah ac pao ah orek ke silver; ac infulwal nu ke intwel orekla ke bronze.

This image's head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

33 Nial orekla ke osra, ac falkal orekla ke osra ac fohk kle akulamisak.

its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of clay.

34 Ke kom tuh ngetang liye ah, eot na lulap se tufwacla liki fin fulu se, a tia ma mwet moklela, twe sunna nia su orek ke osra ac kle, ac koteya.

Thou sawest till a stone was cut out without hands; and it smote the image upon its feet of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.

35 In pacl sacna osra, kle, bronze, silver, ac gold nukewa kac ah mokutkuti, oana kulun wheat ma kulkulla ke pacl fol uh, ac ipsriki oana apat uh. Eng ah okla ma inge nufon ac tia sie ip kac lula. A eot sac yokelik nwe oana eol soko su afinya faclu nufon.

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken in pieces together, and they became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them. And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

36 “Pa inge mweme sac. Inge nga ac akkalemye nu sin tokosra kalmac uh.

This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation of it before the king.

37 O Tokosra, kom pa fulat oemeet sin tokosra nukewa uh. God inkusrao El orala tuh kom in tokosra fulat, ac El sot nu sum wal, ku, ac sunak.

Thou, O king, art a king of kings, unto whom the God of the heavens hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory;

38 El orala tuh in kom pa leum fin acn nukewa faclu ma oasr mwet muta we, ac oayapa leum fin kosro ac won nukewa. Kom pa sifa se ma orekla ke gold inge.

and wheresoever the children of men, the beasts of the field, and the fowl of the heavens dwell, he hath given them into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all: thou art this head of gold.

39 Ac fah mau oasr pac sie tokosrai tukum, su ac tia arulana pwengpeng oana tokosrai se lom inge, ac toko ac oasr pac sie tokosrai aktolu, ma orekla ke bronze, su ac leumi faclu nufon.

And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; then another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

40 Toko, ac oasr tokosrai se pac akakosr su ac fokoko oana osra uh. Tokosrai se ingan ac fah fukulya ac kunauselik tokosrai nukewa meet ah, oana ke osra uh ac fukulya ac kunauselik ma nukewa.

And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth everything, and as iron that breaketh all these, so shall it break in pieces and bruise.

41 Kom tuh liye pac lah falkal ac kufinnial orekla ke fohk kle ac osra. Kalmac pa tokosrai se inge ac mau kitakatelik, na ku se la uh ac ku in srifal mweyen oasr osra ac fohk kle akulamisi kac.

And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter's 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 miry clay.

42 Kufinnial — su kutu ip uh osra ac kutu fohk kle — akkalemye lah tafu tokosrai se inge ac ku, ac tafu ac munas.

And [as] the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.

43 Kom oayapa liye lah osra ah akulamisi ke fohk kle. Kalmen ma se inge pa mwet leum ke tokosrai se inge ac srike in orani sou lalos in ma se lac ke elos ac oru mwet lalos uh in tukeni apayuki, tusruktu elos ac tia ku in orani, oana ke osra ac fohk kle tia ku in akonoki.

And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay.

44 In pacl lun mwet leum inge, God inkusrao El ac fah oakiya sie tokosrai su ac fah wangin saflaiya. Ac fah tiana ku in kutangyukla, a ac fah kunausla nufon tokosrai ingan, na ac fah oanna nwe tok.

And in the days of these kings shall the God of the heavens set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the sovereignty thereof shall not be left to another people: it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, but itself shall stand for ever.

45 Kom tuh liye pac ke eot sac ipipla liki fin fulu sac a wanginna mwet mokleak, ac ke eot sac tukya ma sruloala sac ma orekla ke osra, bronze, fohk kle, silver ac gold. God fulat El fahk nu sum, O Tokosra, ma ac sikyak in pacl fahsru uh. Nga fahkot kewa ma kom mwemei, ac akkalemye pac nu sum kalmac uh.”

Forasmuch as thou sawest that a 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 hereafter. And the dream is certain, and the interpretation of it sure.

46 Na Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el pasrla nwe ten ac sapkin tuh in orek mwe kisa ac mwe sang nu sel Daniel.

Then king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.

47 Tokosra el fahk, “God lom El fulat liki god nukewa. El Leum fin tokosra uh, ac El ikasla kalmen ma lukma. Nga etu ouinge mweyen kom ku in aketeya ma lukma se inge.”

The king answered 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, because thou wast able to reveal this secret.

48 Ouinge el akfulatyalak Daniel nu ke sie wal fulat, ac sang nu sel mwe lung na wowo puspis, ac oru elan leumi acn Babylon, ac oru tuh in el pa leum fin un mwet kasru fulat nukewa lun tokosra.

Then the king made Daniel great, 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 Fal nu ke siyuk se lal Daniel, Tokosra el eisalang Shadrach, Meshach, ac Abednego in karingin mukuikui nukewa in acn Babylon; a Daniel el mutana inkul fulat sin tokosra.

And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego over the administration of the province of Babylon. And Daniel was in the gate of the king.
