1 Nebukadnessar adedi mfe abien so, ɔsosoo dae bi ma ɛhaw no ara kosii sɛ, na ontumi nna.
Nʼime afọ nke abụọ nke ọchịchị ya, eze Nebukadneza rọrọ nrọ dị iche iche. Nrọ ndị a mere ka obi ya gbasasịa, ụra pụkwara ya nʼanya.
2 Ɔfrɛɛ ne nkonyaayifo, pɛadeahufo, ntafowayifo ne Kaldeafo, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, wɔnkyerɛ no dae ko no. Wobegyinaa ɔhene no anim no,
Mgbe ahụ, eze kpọrọ ndị majiki, ndị ha na mmụọ ọjọọ na-ekwu okwu, ndị mgbaasị na ndị ihe banyere ngagharị nke kpakpando doro anya ka ha bịa gwa ya ihe ahụ ọ rọrọ na nrọ. Mgbe ha bịara, guzo nʼihu eze,
3 ɔkae se, “Maso dae bi a ɛhaw me, enti mepɛ sɛ mokyerɛ me dae ko a mesoe no, efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mihu.”
ọ sịrị ha, “Arọrọ m nrọ nke na-enye m nsogbu nʼobi. Achọrọ m ịma ihe ọ pụtara.”
4 Na Kaldeafo no buaa no wɔ Arameike kasa mu se, “Ɔhene nkwa so! Ka dae no kyerɛ yɛn, na yɛbɛkyerɛ ase.”
Mgbe ahụ, ndị ahụ na-enyocha kpakpando gwara eze ahụ okwu nʼasụsụ ndị Siria sị, “Ka gị eze dịrị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, Ị ga-agwa ụmụodibo gị nrọ a ị rọrọ, anyị ga-akọwara gị ihe ọ pụtara.”
5 Nanso ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Kaldeafo no se, “Eyi ne gyinae a masi wɔ asɛm yi ho. Sɛ moantumi anka me dae no, na moankyerɛ me ase a, wobetwitwa mo mu asinasin, na wobebubu mo afi, ama afuw wura.
Ma eze zara ndị Kaldịa, “Nke a bụ ihe m kpebirila: Ọ bụrụ na unu agwaghị m ihe nrọ a na nkọwa ya bụ, aga m eme ka abọkasịa unu, tikpọkwa ụlọ unu, mee ka ha ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe.
6 Na sɛ moka me dae no, kyerɛ me ase a, mɛma mo akyɛde a ɛso bi mmaa da, na mabɔ mo aba so. Monka dae no, na monkyerɛ me ase.”
Ma ọ bụrụ na unu gwa m ihe ahụ m rọrọ na nrọ ma kọwaakwa ya, aga m enye unu onyinye dị iche iche na ụgwọ ọrụ nsọpụrụ dị ukwuu. Ya mere, gwanụ m nrọ ahụ na nkọwa ya.”
7 Wɔkaa bio se, “Yɛsrɛ wo, Nana, ka dae no kyerɛ wʼasomfo, na yɛbɛkyerɛ wo ase.”
Ọzọkwa, ha zaghachiri, “Ka eze gwa ndị ohu ya ihe ọ rọrọ na nrọ, anyị ga-akọwakwa ya.”
8 Ɔhene no buae se, “Mahu mo nnaadaa no. Mahu sɛ, moretwentwɛn bere no so, na munim gyinae a masi wɔ asɛm a mekae no ho.
Eze zaghachiri, “Ama m na ọ bụ oge ka unu na-achọ inweta nʼihi na unu amatala na ihe a ka m kpebiri ime.
9 Sɛ moanka dae no ankyerɛ me a, asotwe baako pɛ na ɛda hɔ ma mo. Moapam sɛ mubedi atoro adaadaa me. Mususuw sɛ asɛm no bɛsesa. Monka dae no nkyerɛ me, na ɛbɛma mahu sɛ mubetumi akyerɛ ase.”
Ọ bụrụ na unu agwaghị m nrọ ahụ naanị otu ntaramahụhụ dịịrị unu. Unu agbaala izu ịgwa m okwu ụgha na okwu nduhie na-ele anya na ọnọdụ ga-agbanwe. Ya mere, gwanụ m nrọ ahụ, m ga-amatakwa na unu pụrụ ịkọwara m ya.”
10 Kaldeafo no buaa Ɔhene no se, “Onipa teasefo biara nni hɔ a obetumi akyerɛ wo, Nana, wo dae a woaso no. Na ɔhene biara nso nni hɔ, sɛ ɔkorɔn anaa ne tumi so, a wabisa nkonyaayifo, pɛadeahufo anaa Kaldeafo saa asɛm yi bi pɛn.
Ndị Kaldịa zara eze, “Ọ dịghị mmadụ ọbụla nʼelu ụwa a nke nwere ike ime ihe a eze na-achọ. Ọ dịghịkwa eze, nʼagbanyeghị ịdị ukwuu ya na ịdị ike ya, nke jụtụrụla ụdị ihe dị otu a eze na-ajụ nʼaka ndị mgbaasị, ndị na-agba aja ya, ndị ha na mmụọ ọjọọ na-ekwu okwu, na ndị Kaldịa.
11 Ɔhene abisade yi yɛ den dodo. Obiara nni hɔ a obetumi aka wo dae no gye anyame. Nanso wɔn tenabea nni wiase yi mu.”
Ihe a ị chọrọ ka anyị mee bụ ihe na-agaghị ekwe omume. Ọ bụ naanị ndị mmụọ nwere ike ịkọrọ gị ihe ị rọrọ na nrọ. Ndị mmụọ anọkwaghị nʼetiti ndị mmadụ.”
12 Ɔhene no tee saa asɛm no, ne bo fuw yiye, enti ɔhyɛɛ sɛ, wonkunkum anyansafo a wɔwɔ Babilonia nyinaa.
Nke a mere ka eze jupụta nʼoke iwe na ọnụma, o nyere iwu ka e gbuchaa ndị amamihe niile nke Babilọn.
13 Na esiane ɔhene no mmaraden sɛ wonkunkum anyansafo no nti, wɔsomaa mmarima sɛ wɔnkɔhwehwɛ Daniel ne ne nnamfonom, na wonkunkum wɔn.
Mgbe e kwupụtara iwu onye eze ka e gbuo ndị oke amamihe niile, ndị agha chọkwara ebe Daniel na ndị otu ya nọ ka ha gbuo ha.
14 Bere a, Ariok a ɔyɛ ɔhene no awɛmfo so panyin baa sɛ ɔrebekum wɔn no, Daniel faa nyansakwan so ne no kasae.
Mgbe Ariok, onye bụ onyeisi ndị nche eze pụrụ igbu ndị ikom maara ihe na Babilọn, Daniel ji amamihe na ezi uche gwa ya okwu.
15 Daniel bisaa Ariok se, “Adɛn nti na ɔhene hyɛɛ mmara a ano yɛ den saa?” Na Ariok kaa nea asi nyinaa kyerɛɛ no.
Ọ jụrụ onyeozi eze, bụ Ariok, “Gịnị mere eze ji nye iwu dị ike dị otu a?” Mgbe ahụ, Ariok kọwaara ihe niile nye Daniel.
16 Daniel kohuu Ɔhene no, na ɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔmma no bere kakra na ɔbɛba abɛkyerɛ dae no ase.
Mgbe ahụ, Daniel banyere nʼụlọeze, ịhụ ya. Ọ rịọrọ eze ka o nyetụ ya nwa oge iji kọwaakwara ya ihe nrọ ahụ pụtara.
17 Na Daniel kɔɔ ne fi kɔbɔɔ ne nnamfonom Hanania, Misael ne Asaria amanneɛ faa asɛm a asi no ho.
Emesịa, Daniel lara nʼụlọ nke ya gaa kọọrọ Hananaya, na Mishael, na Azaraya, ndị enyi ya ihe merenụ.
18 Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔnsrɛ ɔsoro Nyankopɔn na ɔnnom wɔn nʼahummɔbɔ sɛnea wɔrenkum wɔn mfra anyansafo nkae a wɔwɔ Babilonia no mu.
Ọ gwara ha ka ha rịọọ maka ebere site nʼaka Chineke nke eluigwe banyere ihe nzuzo a, ka a hapụ igbu ya na ndị enyi ya na ndị amamihe fọdụrụ na Babilọn.
19 Anadwo no, ɔdaa kokoamsɛm no adi kyerɛɛ Daniel wɔ anisoadehu mu. Na Daniel kamfoo ɔsoro Nyankopɔn
Nʼabalị, e mere ka Daniel mata ihe omimi ahụ site nʼọhụ. Mgbe ahụ, Daniel toro Chineke nke eluigwe,
20 se, “Ayeyi nka Onyankopɔn din daa nyinaa, ɔno nko na ɔwɔ nyansa ne tumi.
Daniel sịrị, “Otuto dịrị aha Chineke ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; amamihe na ike dị nʼaka ya.
21 Ɔno na ɔsesa mmere ne nnipa nkrabea; osi ahene, na otu wɔn ade so. Ɔma anyansafo hu nyansa, na ɔma nhumu ho nimdeɛ.
Ọ na-agbanwe oge na mgbe dị iche iche; Ọ na-ebuli ndị eze na-akwatụkwa ha. Ọ na-enye onye maara ihe amamihe, ma na-enyekwa onye nwere mmụọ nghọta ihe ọmụma.
22 Ɔda nneɛma a mu dɔ na ɛyɛ nwonwa adi, na onim nea ahintaw wɔ sum mu; hann atwa ne ho ahyia.
Ọ na-ekpughe ihe dị omimi na ihe zoro ezo; Ọ maara ihe dị nʼọchịchịrị, ma ìhè binyekwara ya.
23 Meda wo ase, kamfo wo mʼagyanom Nyankopɔn, efisɛ, woama me nyansa ne tumi, woaka nea yebisaa wo akyerɛ me, ada nea ɔhene bisae no adi akyerɛ yɛn.”
Ana m ekele gị, na-etokwa gị, Chineke nke nna m ha, nʼihi na i nyela m amamihe na ike. I meela ka m mata ihe anyị rịọrọ gị, i mekwala ka anyị mata nrọ ahụ eze rọrọ.”
24 Afei Daniel kohuu Ariok a wɔahyɛ no sɛ onkunkum anyansafo a wɔwɔ Babilonia no, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nkunkum anyansafo a wɔwɔ Babilonia no. Fa me kɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn, na mɛkyerɛ no ne dae no ase.”
Nʼihi ya, Daniel jekwuru Ariok, onye ahụ eze nyere iwu igbu ndị ndụmọdụ niile dị na Babilọn, sị ya, “Egbukwala onye ọbụla nʼime ndị amamihe Babilọn. Kama duru m gaa nʼihu eze nʼihi na ejikeere m ịgwa ya ihe ahụ ọ chọrọ ịmata.”
25 Na ntɛm ara, Ariok de Daniel kɔɔ ɔhene no anim kae se, “Mahu nnommum a wofi Yuda no mu baako a ɔbɛkyerɛ wo, Nana, dae no ase.”
Mgbe ahụ, Ariok mere ngwangwa duru Daniel gaa nʼihu eze, sị ya, “Achọpụtala m otu onye nʼime ndị Juda a dọtara nʼagha nwere ike ịgwa eze ihe nrọ ya pụtara.”
26 Ɔhene no bisaa Daniel (a wɔsan frɛ no Beltesasar) no se, “Ɛyɛ nokware? Wubetumi akyerɛ me nea mihuu wɔ me dae no mu na woakyerɛ me ase?”
Eze jụrụ Daniel (onye a na-akpọkwa Belteshaza), “I nwere ike ịgwa m ihe ahụ m rọrọ na nrọ, na ịkọwara m ihe ọ pụtara?”
27 Daniel buae se, “Nana, anyansafo, pɛadeahufo, nkonyaayifo anaa ntafowayifo biara nni hɔ a wobetumi akyerɛ ahintasɛm a worebisa yi!
Daniel gwara eze, “O nweghị onye amamihe ọbụla, onye ọbụla ya na mmụọ na-ekwu okwu, onye mgbaasị ọbụla maọbụ onye na-enyocha kpakpando ọbụla pụrụ ịgwa eze ihe omimi a ị chọrọ.
28 Nanso Onyankopɔn bi wɔ ɔsoro a ɔda kokoamsɛm adi, na wakyerɛ ɔhene Nebukadnessar asɛm a ebesi daakye. Wo dae no ne anisoadehu a bere a woda wo mpa so no wuhui ni:
Ma o nwere Chineke nọ nʼeluigwe, onye na-ekpughe ihe omimi niile. O gosila Nebukadneza ihe ga-eme nʼụbọchị ndị dị nʼihu. Nrọ gị na ọhụ niile nke gara nʼuche gị mgbe ị dinara nʼihe ndina gị bụ ndị a:
29 “Nana, bere a woreda no, wʼadwene kosisii nsɛm bi a ebesisi so. Nea ɔkyerɛ ahintasɛm mu no akyerɛ wo nea ɛrebɛba.
“Ihe ị rọrọ na nrọ, gị bụ eze, bụ ihe banyere ihe na-aga imezu nʼoge dị nʼihu. Onye ahụ na-ekpughe ihe nzuzo niile egosikwala gị ihe nke ga-eme.
30 Na ɛnyɛ sɛ, Nana, minim nyansa kyɛn onipa teasefo biara nti, na mmom Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ Nana nya ahintasɛm no nkyerɛase na ɔte nea ɛbaa nʼadwene mu no ase.
Ma mụ onwe m, ekpugheghị ihe omimi a nye m nʼihi na m karịrị mmadụ ọbụla dị ndụ nʼamamihe, kama ọ bụ ka gị bụ eze mata nkọwa ya ma ghọtakwa ihe gabigara nʼuche gị.
31 “Nana, wʼanisoadehu no mu, wuhuu ohoni kɛse bi sɛ ogyina wʼanim a ɔso pa ara na ɛheran hyerɛnn, na ne ho yɛ hu yiye.
“Eze, ihe ị hụrụ nʼọhụ bụ nke a. Ị hụrụ mmadụ a kpụrụ akpụ. Mmadụ a a kpụrụ akpụ buru nnọọ ibu. Ọ na-egbukwa nweghenweghe, bụrụkwa ihe na-eyi onye ọbụla lekwasịrị ya anya egwu.
32 Sikakɔkɔɔ na wɔde yɛɛ ne ti; Dwetɛ na wɔde yɛɛ ne koko ne nʼabasa. Kɔbere na wɔde yɛɛ ne yafunu ne nʼasrɛ.
E ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha kpụọ isi mmadụ ahụ, jiri ọlaọcha kpụọ aka ya na obi ya. E jikwa bronz kpụọ afọ ya na apata ụkwụ ya.

Ọ bụkwa igwe ka e ji kpụọ ogwe ụkwụ ya abụọ. Ma akụkụ ụkwụ ya, nke a na-azọ nʼala ka e ji igwe a gwara ya na ụrọ kpụọ.
34 Na, Nana, worehwɛ no, ɔbo bi a nsa biara nkura mu, tew bɛhwee dade ne dɔte nansabon no so, pɛtɛw no pasaa.
Mgbe ị na-ele anya, a wapụtara nkume, ma ọ bụghị aka mmadụ ka e ji wapụta ya. Nkume a kụrụ mmadụ ahụ a kpụrụ akpụ nʼukwu nkume na ụrọ ya, kụpịasịa ha.
35 Afei Nana, ohoni mu no nyinaa, a ɛyɛ dade, dɔte, kɔbere, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ no nyinaa yam fekɔfekɔ, maa ɛyɛɛ sɛ ahuhurubere mu awiporowbea so ntɛtɛ, maa mframa behuw ne nyinaa kɔe a, hwee anka hɔ. Nanso ɔbo a ɛpem ohoni no hwee fam no dan bepɔw kɛse a ɛkataa asase nyinaa so.

Dịka i siri hụ nkume ahụ dị ukwuu e sitere nʼugwu wapụta, nke a na-ejighị aka wapụta were kụrichaa igwe ahụ, bronz ahụ, ụrọ ahụ, ọlaọcha ahụ na ọlaedo ahụ. “Chineke dị ukwuu emeela ka eze mara ihe na-aga ime nʼoge dị nʼihu. Nrọ a bụ eziokwu, nkọwa ya kwesikwara ntụkwasị obi.”
46 Ɔhene Nebukadnessar bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ Daniel anim, som no, na ɔhyɛɛ ne manfo se, wɔmfa afɔrebɔde mmra, na wɔnhyew aduhuam wɔ nʼanim.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Nebukadneza dara nʼala nʼihu Daniel nye ya nsọpụrụ. O nyekwara iwu ka eweta onyinye na ụda na-esi isi ụtọ were chụnyere ya aja.
47 Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Daniel se, “Nokware, wo Nyankopɔn yɛ Nyankopɔn wɔ anyame mu; ɔyɛ Awurade wɔ ahene so ahintasɛm mu kyerɛfo, efisɛ wo na woatumi akyerɛ saa kokoamsɛm yi mu.”
Onye eze gwakwara Daniel, “Nʼezie, Chineke gị bụ Chineke kachasị chi niile. Ọ bụ ya na-achị eze niile bi nʼụwa, bụrụkwa Onye na-ekpughepụ ihe omimi niile, nʼihi na lee, i nwere ike ịkọwa ihe omimi nke a.”
48 Afei, ɔhene no maa Daniel dibea a ɛkorɔn yiye san yɛɛ no ayɛ a ɛsom bo yiye. Ɔmaa Daniel hwɛɛ Babilonia amantam no nyinaa so, na ɔde no sii nʼanyansafo no nyinaa so hene.
Emesịa eze nyere Daniel ọkwa dị ukwuu, nyekwa ya ọtụtụ onyinye dị iche iche. O mere ya onyeisi na-achị ala Babilọn niile, meekwa ya onyeisi ndị ndụmọdụ eze niile.
49 Daniel ka ma wɔyɛɛ Sadrak, Mesak ne Abednego, Babilonia asase no so ahwɛfo, na Daniel yɛɛ ɔsomfo wɔ ɔhene aban mu.
Ma dịka Daniel siri rịọ eze, o mekwara ka Shedrak, Mishak na Abednego bụrụ ndị na-elekọta ihe niile a na-eme eme nʼala Babilọn, Daniel nʼonwe ya nọdụrụ nʼogige eze.
