Daniel 7
1 In yac se meet ke Belshazzar el tokosra lun acn Babylonia, nga tuh oru mweme se, ac liye sie aruruma ke fong sac. Nga tuh simusla koanon mweme sac, ac pa inge ma nga simusla ke
In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account.
2 ma nga liye in fong sac: Eng uh tuhtuh yen nukewa me, ac oru meoa uh in arulana pulkulakyak.
Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea.
3 Kosro na lulap sulallal akosr otyak in meoa uh me, ac tia oana sie lumahlos.
Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:
4 Ma soko oemeet ah oana luman lion soko, tusruktu oasr posohksok kacl oana eagle se. Ke nga srakna ngetang liye, na posohksok kacl uh kipatla. Na kosro soko ah touyak ac tulokyak in tu oana mwet se. Itukyang nu sel elan nunak in mwet.
The first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and given the mind of a man.
5 Kosro soko aklukwa ah lumahl oana bear soko ma tuyak fin nial tok. El ngalis sri in pap tolkwe ke oalul, ac pusra se fahk nu sel, “Kangla nufon ikwa ma kom ku in kang an!”
Suddenly another beast appeared, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. So it was told, ‘Get up and gorge yourself on flesh!’
6 Ke nga srakna tu liye, na soko pacna kosro lulap sikyak. Lumahl oana kosro leopard soko, tusruk oasr posohksok akosr oan fintokol, oana posohksok ke won uh, ac oasr sifa akosr kacl. Lumahl oana in oasr wal na fulat lal.
Next, as I watched, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
7 Ke nga srakna tu liye, kosro lulap soko akakosr ah sikyak. El arulana fokoko, koluk lumahl ac aksangeng ngetngetal. El ac sang wihs osra na lulap kacl uh ac itungya ma el ac sruokya uh, na el ac lolongya in mokutkuti. El tia oana kosro saya uh, mweyen oasr koac singoul kacl.
After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying—dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns.
8 Ke nga ngetang liye koac inge, nga liye koac srisrik soko kapak inmasrlo. El sinukunla tolkwe sin koac ma oan meet ah. Koac srisrik soko inge oasr atronmutun mwet kac, ac sie oalu su arulana yokla tungak la.
While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
9 Ke nga ngetang liye ma inge, oasr kutu nien muta fulat oakwuki in acn sac. Sie su nuna moul oemeet me el muta fin sie mwe muta inge. Nuknuk lal uh fasrfasr oana snow, ac aunsifal nasnas oana unen sheep. Mwe muta se lal inge oan fin wheel ma firir, ac sarmelik oana e,
As I continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
10 ac soko koa in e uh sroma liki mwe muta fulat sac oana soko infacl. Oasr tausin puspis mwet su akola in kulansupwal, ac million puspis mwet tu ye mutal. Na nununku uh mutawauk, ac book uh ikakla.
A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
11 Ke nga ngetang liye ah, nga srakna lohng pusren tungak ac sifacna konkin lun koac srisrik soko ah. Nga srakna ngetang a kosro soko akakosr ah anwuki, ac manol sisiyang nu in e uh ac isisyak.
Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.
12 Kosro saya ah itukla wal lalos, tusruktu filfilla elos in sifilpa muta ke kitin pacl.
As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time.
13 Ke pacl se nga liye aruruma se inge in fong sac, nga liye sie ma su oana luman mwet se. El fahsru ac pukunyeng uh apnulla, na el fahla nu yurin el su moul oemeet me, ac kolyukla el nu ye mutal.
In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence.
14 Itukyang nu sel wal, sunak, ac ku fulat, tuh mwet in mutunfacl nukewa ac kain in kas nukewa fah kulansapwal. Ku fulat lal ac fah oan ma pahtpat, ac tokosrai lal ac fah wangin saflaiya.
And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
15 Aruruma ma nga liye inge oru nga fosrngala ac arulana fohsak.
I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me.
16 Nga fahsryang nu yurin sie selos su tu insac, ac siyuk lah el ac ku in akkalemye kalmen ma inge nu sik. Na el fahkma kalmac uh.
I approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me the interpretation of these things:
17 El fahk ouinge, “Kosro lulap akosr inge pa tokosrai lulap akosr ma ac sikyak fin faclu.
‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
18 Ac mwet lun God Fulatlana elos ac fah eis ku fulat ac sruokya nwe tok ma pahtpat.”
But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’
19 Ac nga sifilpa ke lohng kutu ke kosro soko akakosr ma tia oana kosro saya nufon — kosro aksangeng soko ma ac sang wihs osra kacl uh ac nia bronze kacl uh in itungya ma el sruokya uh, na lolongya.
Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others—extremely terrifying—devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left.
20 Ac nga ke etu pac ke koac singoul ke sifal, ac ke koac soko ma sikyak pac tok ac oru tolkwe koac uh in putatla ah. Oasr atronmutal ac oalul, ac arulana upa tungak lal uh. Yohk aksangeng lal uh liki koac nukewa saya ah.
I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
21 Ke nga ngetang liye ma inge, na koac srisrik soko ah mweun lain mwet lun God ac kutangulosla.
As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them,
22 Na el su nuna moul oemeet me tuku, ac akkalemye lah nununku lal wi layen mwet lun God Fulatlana. Sun tari pacl fal tuh mwet lun God in eis ku fulat lun tokosra.
until the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom.
23 Pa inge ma el aketeya nu sik: “Kosro soko akakosr ah pa tokosrai lulap se akakosr ma ac sikyak nu fin faclu, ac el ac fah siena liki tokosrai lulap nukewa saya uh. El ac fah itungya faclu nufon, ac futfutungya.
This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it.
24 Koac singoul ah pa tokosra singoul ma ac leumi tokosrai lulap sac. Na sie pac tokosra ac fah sikyak, ac el ac arulana sie liki na tokosra nukewa ma tuku meet ah, ac el ac fah sinukunla tokosra tolu.
And the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three kings.
25 El ac fah kaskas lain God Fulatlana, ac akkeokye mwet lun God. El ac fah srike elan ekulla ma sap lun lulalfongi lalos ac len in kufwa lalos, na mwet lun God uh ac fah muta ye ku lal ke lusen yac tolu tafu.
He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.
26 Na nununku uh ac fah mutawauk, ac eisla ku lal uh, ac arulana kunausulla.
But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.
27 Ku ac pwengpeng lun tokosrai nukewa fin faclu ac fah itukyang nu sin mwet lun God Fulatlana. Ku fulat lalos ac fah wangin saflaiya, ac mwet kol nukewa fin faclu ac fah kulansupwalos ac akos sap lalos.”
Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’
28 Pa inge saflaiyen ma srumunyuk uh. Yoklana sangeng luk, oru nga arulana efla, ac nga sruokyana ma inge oan sik.
Thus ends the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. But I kept the matter to myself.”
