Daniel 2

1 Ní ọdún kejì ìjọba Nebukadnessari, ó lá àlá, èyí tí ó mú kí ọkàn an rẹ̀ dàrú, kò sì le è sùn.

And in the seconde yeere of the raygne of Nebuchad-nezzar, Nebuchad-nezzar dreamed dreames wherewith his spirite was troubled, and his sleepe was vpon him.

2 Nígbà náà ni ọba yára pe àwọn onídán, àwọn aláfọ̀ṣẹ, àwọn oṣó àti àwọn awòràwọ̀; àwọn tó ní ìmọ̀ àti àṣírí i títúmọ̀ ìràwọ̀, ọba pè wọ́n kí wọn wá sọ àlá tí ó lá. Nígbà tí wọ́n dé, tí wọ́n dúró níwájú ọba,

Then the King commanded to call the inchanters, and the astrologians and the sorcerers, and the Caldeans for to shewe the King his dreames: so they came and stoode before the King.

3 ọba sì wí fún wọn pé, “Mo ti lá àlá kan èyí tí ó mú kí ọkàn mi dàrú, mo sì fẹ́ mọ ìtumọ̀ àlá náà.”

And the King sayde vnto them, I haue dreamed a dreame, and my spirite was troubled to knowe the dreame.

4 Nígbà náà ni àwọn awòràwọ̀ dá ọba lóhùn ní èdè Aramaiki pé, “Kí ọba kí ó pẹ́! Sọ àlá yìí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ àwa yóò sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún ọ.”

Then spake the Caldeans to the King in the Aramites language, O King, liue for euer: shewe thy seruants thy dreame, and wee shall shewe the interpretation.

5 Ọba dá àwọn awòràwọ̀ lóhùn pé, “Ohun náà ti kúrò lórí mi, tí ẹ̀yin kò bá sọ àlá náà àti ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi, èmi yóò gé e yín sí wẹ́wẹ́, ilé e yín yóò sì di ààtàn.

And the King answered and sayd to the Caldeans, The thing is gone from me. If ye will not make me vnderstande the dreame with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be drawen in pieces, and your houses shall be made a iakes.

6 Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀yin bá sọ àlá náà àti ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi, èmi yóò fún un yín ní ẹ̀bùn, ọrẹ àti ọláńlá tí ó pọ̀. Nítorí náà, ẹ sọ àlá náà àti ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi.”

But if yee declare the dreame and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receyue of me gifts and rewardes, and great honour: therefore shewe me the dreame and the interpretation of it.

7 Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, “Wọ́n tún dáhùn pé, jẹ́ kí ọba sọ àlá náà fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, àwa yóò sì túmọ̀ rẹ̀.”

They answered againe, and sayde, Let the King shewe his seruantes the dreame, and wee will declare the interpretation thereof.

8 Nígbà náà ni ọba sọ pé, “Èmi mọ̀ dájú wí pé ẹ̀yin fẹ́ fi àkókò ṣòfò nítorí pé ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ pé nǹkan ti lọ ní orí mi.

Then the King answered, and sayd, I knowe certeinly that ye would gaine the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

9 Tí ẹ̀yin kò bá lè sọ àlá mi, ìjìyà kan ṣoṣo ló wà fún un yín. Ẹ̀yin ti gbèrò láti pa irọ́ àti láti sọ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ ti ó lè si ni lọ́nà fún mi, títí tí nǹkan yóò fi yí wọ́. Nítorí náà ẹ rọ́ àlá náà fún mi, èmi yóò sì mọ̀ pé ẹ lè túmọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi.”

But if ye will not declare mee the dreame, there is but one iudgement for you: for ye haue prepared lying and corrupt wordes, to speake before me till the time bee changed: therefore tell me the dreame, that I may knowe, if yee can declare me the interpretation thereof.

10 Àwọn awòràwọ̀ sì dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Kò sí ènìyàn kan ní ayé tí ó lè sọ nǹkan tí ọba béèrè! Kò sí ọba náà bí ó ti wù kí ó tóbi àti kí ó lágbára tó, tí í béèrè irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn onídán tàbí aláfọ̀ṣẹ tàbí awòràwọ̀.

Then the Caldeans answered before the King, and sayde, There is no man vpon earth that can declare the Kings matter: yea, there is neither king nor prince nor lorde that asked such things at an inchanter or astrologian or Caldean.

11 Nǹkan tí ọba béèrè yìí ṣòro púpọ̀. Kò sí ẹni tí ó lè fihan ọba àfi àwọn òrìṣà, tí wọn kì í gbé láàrín ènìyàn.”

For it is a rare thing that the King requireth, and there is none other that can declare it before the King, except the gods whose dwelling is not with flesh.

12 Èyí mú kí ọba bínú, ó sì kanra, nítorí náà ó pàṣẹ kí a pa gbogbo àwọn amòye Babeli run.

For this cause the king was angrie and in great furie, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babel.

13 Nítorí náà àṣẹ yìí jáde lọ wí pé kí a pa àwọn amòye, wọ́n ránṣẹ́ pe Daniẹli pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ láti pa wọ́n.

And when sentence was giuen, the wise men were slayne: and they sought Daniel and his fellowes to be put to death.

14 Nígbà tí Arioku, olórí àwọn olùṣọ́ ọba, jáde láti lọ pa àwọn amòye Babeli, Daniẹli sọ̀rọ̀ fún un pẹ̀lú ọgbọ́n àti òye.

Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisedome to Arioch the Kings chiefe stewarde, which was gone foorth to put to death the wise men of Babel.

15 Ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ olórí àwọn olùṣọ́ ọba wí pé, “Èéṣe tí àṣẹ ọba fi yá kánkán bẹ́ẹ̀?” Arioku sì ṣe àlàyé ọ̀rọ̀ náà fún Daniẹli.

Yea, he answered and sayde vnto Arioch the kings captaine, Why is the sentence so hastie from the king? Then Arioch declared the thing to Daniel.

16 Nígbà náà ni Daniẹli wọlé tọ ọba lọ, ó sì tọrọ kí ọba fún òun ní ààyè, òun yóò fi ìtumọ̀ àlá náà hàn fún ọba.

So Daniel went and desired the king that he woulde giue him leasure and that he woulde shewe the king the interpretation thereof.

17 Nígbà náà ni Daniẹli padà lọ sí ilé e rẹ̀, ó sì sọ fún àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ Hananiah, Miṣaeli àti Asariah.

The Daniel went to his house and shewed the matter to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah his companions,

18 Ó sọ fún wọn pé kí wọn béèrè fún àánú Ọlọ́run, Olúwa ọ̀run, nítorí àṣírí yìí, kí Daniẹli pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ má ba ṣègbé pẹ̀lú àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n Babeli yòókù, tí ó wà ní Babeli.

That they should beseech the God of heauen for grace in this secrete, that Daniel and his fellowes should not perish with the rest of ye wise men of Babel.

19 Ní òru, àṣírí náà hàn sí Daniẹli ní ojú ìran. Nígbà náà ni Daniẹli fi ògo fún Ọlọ́run ọ̀run

Then was the secret reueiled vnto Daniel in a vision by night: therefore Daniel praysed the God of heauen.

20 Daniẹli wí pé: “Ọpẹ́ ni fún orúkọ Ọlọ́run láé àti láéláé; tirẹ̀ ni ọgbọ́n àti agbára.

And Daniel answered and sayde, The Name of God be praysed for euer and euer: for wisedome and strength are his,

21 Ó yí ìgbà àti àkókò padà; ó mú ọba jẹ, ó ń mú wọn kúrò. Ó fún àwọn amòye ní ọgbọ́n àti ìmọ̀ fún àwọn tí ó ní òye.

And hee changeth the times and seasons: he taketh away kings: he setteth vp kings: he giueth wisedome vnto the wise, and vnderstanding to those that vnderstand.

22 Ó fi ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ àti àṣírí hàn; ó mọ ohun tí ó pamọ́ nínú òkùnkùn àti ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ wà.

Hee discouereth the deepe and secrete things: he knoweth what is in darkenes, and the light dwelleth with him.

23 Mo dúpẹ́, mo sì fi ìyìn fún ọ, ìwọ Ọlọ́run àwọn baba mi: ó ti fún mi ní ọgbọ́n àti agbára ó ti fi àwọn nǹkan tí a béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ hàn fún mi nítorí tí ìwọ ti fi àlá ọba hàn wá.”

I thanke thee and prayse thee, O thou God of my fathers, that thou hast giuen mee wisedome and strength, and hast shewed me nowe the thing that wee desired of thee: for thou hast declared vnto vs the kings matter.

24 Nígbà náà ni Daniẹli tọ́ Arioku lọ, ẹni tí ọba yàn láti pa àwọn amòye Babeli run, Daniẹli wí fún un pé, “Má ṣe pa àwọn amòye Babeli run. Mú mi lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba, èmi yóò sísọ ìtumọ̀ àlá rẹ̀ fún un.”

Therefore Daniel went vnto Arioch, whome the King had ordeyned to destroy the wise men of Babel: he went and sayde thus vnto him, Destroy not the wise men of Babel, but bring me before the King, and I will declare vnto the King the interpretation.

25 Lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà, Arioku yára mú Daniẹli lọ sí iwájú ọba, ó sọ fún ọba pé, “Èmi ti rí ọkùnrin kan lára àwọn àjèjì tí ó wá láti Juda, ẹni tí ó lè sọ ìtumọ̀ àlá náà fún ọba.”

Then Arioch brought Daniel before the King in all haste, and sayd thus vnto him, I haue found a man of the children of Iudah that were brought captiues, that will declare vnto the King the interpretation.

26 Ọba béèrè lọ́wọ́ Daniẹli ẹni tí a tún ń pè ní Belṣassari pé, “Ṣé ìwọ lè sọ ohun tí mo rí nínú àlá mi àti ìtumọ̀ ọ rẹ̀ fún mi?”

Then answered the King, and sayde vnto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to shew me the dreame, which I haue seene, and the interpretation thereof?

27 Daniẹli dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Kò sí awòràwọ̀ kan, apògèdè, onídán tàbí aláfọ̀ṣẹ tí ó lè ṣe àlàyé àṣírí tí ọba béèrè fún

Daniel answered in the presence of the King, and sayd, The secret which the King hath demanded, can neither the wise, the astrologians, the inchanters, nor the southsayers declare vnto the King.

28 ṣùgbọ́n, Ọlọ́run kan ń bẹ ní ọ̀run tí ó ń fi àṣírí hàn. Ó ti fihan ọba Nebukadnessari, ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ìkẹyìn ọjọ́. Àlá àti ìran tí o rí nígbà tí o dùbúlẹ̀ lórí ibùsùn rẹ ni ìwọ̀nyí:

But there is a God in heauen that reueileth secrets, and sheweth the King Nebuchad-nezzar what shall bee in the latter dayes. Thy dreame, and the things which thou hast seene in thine heade vpon thy bed, is this.

29 “Ọba, bí ìwọ ṣe sùn sórí ibùsùn rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọkàn rẹ ń ro àwọn ohun tó ń bọ̀, olùfihàn àṣírí ń fi ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ fún ọ.

O King, when thou wast in thy bedde, thoughts came into thy mind, what should come to passe hereafter, and he that reueyleth secretes, telleth thee, what shall come.

30 Ṣùgbọ́n fún èmi, a fi àṣírí yìí hàn mí, kì í ṣe pé mo ní ọgbọ́n tí ó pọ̀ ju ti alààyè kankan lọ, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí kí ọba lè mọ ìtumọ̀ àlá àti kí ó lè mọ ohun tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ̀.

As for me, this secret is not shewed mee for any wisedome that I haue, more then any other liuing, but onely to shewe the King the interpretation, and that thou mightest knowe the thoughts of thine heart.

31 “Ìwọ ọba ń wo, ère ńlá kan tí ó dúró níwájú rẹ, ère náà ga, ó sì dára láti wò, ìrísí i rẹ̀ ba ni lẹ́rù jọjọ.

O King, thou sawest, and beholde, there was a great image: this great image whose glory was so excellent, stood before thee, and the forme thereof was terrible.

32 Orí ère náà jẹ́ kìkì wúrà, àyà rẹ̀ àti ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jẹ́ fàdákà, inú àti ẹ̀gbẹ́ itan rẹ̀ jẹ́ idẹ,

This images head was of fine golde, his breast and his armes of siluer, his bellie and his thighs of brasse,

33 àwọn ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ́ irin, àwọn àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ́ apá kan irin àti apá kan amọ̀.

His legges of yron, and his feete were part of yron, and part of clay.

34 Bí ó ṣe ń wò, òkúta kan wá, tí kò wá láti ọwọ́ ẹnìkankan. Ó kọlu ère náà ní àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ irin àti amọ̀, ó sì fọ́ wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́.

Thou beheldest it til a stone was cut without hands, which smote the image vpon his feete, that were of yron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

35 Nígbà náà ni irin, amọ̀, idẹ, fàdákà àti wúrà fọ́ sí wẹ́wẹ́ lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà, ó sì dàbí ìyàngbò tí a fẹ́ kúrò lórí ọkà ní àsìkò ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn. Afẹ́fẹ́ gbé gbogbo rẹ̀ lọ láìṣẹ́ku ọ̀kan mọ́, òkúta tí ó fọ́ ère náà sì di òkè ńlá, ó sì gba gbogbo ayé.

Then was the yron, the clay, the brasse, the siluer and the golde broken all together, and became like the chaffe of the sommer floures, and the winde caryed them away, that no place was founde for them: and the stone that smote the image, became a great mountaine, and filled the whole earth.

36 “Èyí ni àlá náà, nígbà yìí ni a ó wá sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún ọba.

This is the dreame, and we will declare before the King the interpretation thereof.

37 Ìwọ ọba jẹ́ ọba àwọn ọba. Ọlọ́run ọ̀run ti fi ìjọba agbára, títóbi àti ògo fún ọ;

O King, thou art a king of Kings: for the God of heauen hath giuen thee a kingdome, power, and strength, and glorie.

38 ní ọwọ́ rẹ ló fi gbogbo ènìyàn, àwọn ẹranko igbó àti ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run sí. Ní ibi gbogbo tí wọ́n ń gbé, ó ti fi ọ́ ṣe olórí i wọn. Ìwọ ni orí wúrà náà.

And in all places where the children of men dwell, the beasts of the fielde, and the foules of the heauen hath he giuen into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler ouer them al: thou art this heade of golde.

39 “Lẹ́yìn èyí ni ìjọba mìíràn yóò dìde, tí kò ní lágbára tó tìrẹ, lẹ́yìn in rẹ̀, ìjọba kẹta tí yóò dàbí idẹ, èyí tí yóò jẹ ọba lórí i gbogbo ayé.

And after thee shall rise another kingdome, inferiour to thee, of siluer, and another third kingdome shalbe of brasse, which shall beare rule ouer all the earth.

40 Ju gbogbo rẹ̀ lọ, ìjọba kẹrin yóò wà, ìjọba náà yóò lágbára bí irin, gẹ́gẹ́ bí irin ti í fọ́, tó sì ń lọ gbogbo nǹkan àti bí irin ti í fọ́ nǹkan sí wẹ́wẹ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò fọ́ tí yóò sì lọ gbogbo àwọn tókù.

And the fourth kingdome shall be strong as yron: for as yron breaketh in pieces, and subdueth all things, and as yron bruiseth all these things, so shall it breake in pieces, and bruise all.

41 Bí o ṣe rí i tí àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ àti ọmọ ìka ẹsẹ̀ jẹ́ apá kan amọ̀ àti apá kan irin, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìjọba yóò ṣe pín; ṣùgbọ́n yóò sì ní agbára irin díẹ̀ nínú rẹ̀, bí ó ṣe rí i tí irin dàpọ̀ mọ́ amọ̀.

Where as thou sawest the feete and toes, parte of potters clay, and part of yron: the kingdome shalbe deuided, but there shalbe in it of the strength of the yron, as thou sawest the yron mixt with the clay, and earth.

42 Bí ọmọ ìka ẹsẹ̀ ṣe jẹ́ apá kan irin àti apá kan amọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìjọba yìí yóò lágbára lápákan tí kò sì ní lágbára lápákan.

And as the toes of the feete were parte of yron, and parte of clay, so shall the kingdome be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti rí i tí irin dàpọ̀ mọ́ amọ̀, báyìí ni àwọn ènìyàn yóò ṣe dàpọ̀ mọ́ ara wọn ní ti ìgbéyàwó, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní wà ní ìṣọ̀kan, bí irin kò ṣe dàpọ̀ mọ́ amọ̀.

And where as thou sawest yron mixt with clay and earth, they shall mingle themselues with the seede of men: but they shall not ioyne one with another, as yron can not bee mixed with clay.

44 “Ní àsìkò àwọn ọba náà, Ọlọ́run ọ̀run yóò gbé ìjọba èyí tí kò le è bàjẹ́ kalẹ̀, èyí tí a kò ní fi lé ẹlòmíràn lọ́wọ́. Yóò sì run gbogbo ìjọba, yóò sì mú wọn wá sí òpin, ṣùgbọ́n ìjọba yìí yóò dúró láéláé.”

And in the dayes of these Kings, shall the God of heauen set vp a kingdome, which shall neuer be destroyed: and this kingdome shall not be giuen to another people, but it shall breake, and destroy al these kingdomes, and it shall stand for euer.

45 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ṣe rí i pé a gé òkúta láti ara òkè, láì ti ọwọ́ ẹnikẹ́ni wá, òkúta èyí tí ó fọ́ irin, idẹ, amọ̀, fàdákà àti wúrà sí wẹ́wẹ́. “Ọlọ́run tí ó tóbi ti fihan ọba, ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ iwájú. Òtítọ́ ni àlá náà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ ṣe é gbẹ́kẹ̀lé.”

Where as thou sawest, that the stone was cut of the mountaine without handes, and that it brake in pieces the yron, the brasse, the clay, the siluer, and the golde: so the great God hath shewed the King, what shall come to passe hereafter, and the dreame is true, and the interpretation thereof is sure.

46 Nígbà náà, ni Nebukadnessari ọba dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú u Daniẹli ó sì fi orí balẹ̀ fún un, ó sì pàṣẹ pé kí wọn kí ó mu ọrẹ àti òórùn tùràrí fún Daniẹli.

Then the King Nebuchad-nezzar fell vpon his face, and bowed himselfe vnto Daniel, and commanded that they should offer meate offrings, and sweete odours vnto him.

47 Ọba wí fún Daniẹli pé, “Dájúdájú Ọlọ́run rẹ ni Ọlọ́run àwọn ọlọ́run àti Olúwa àwọn ọba gbogbo àti olùfihàn àwọn àṣírí, nítorí tí ìwọ lè fi àṣírí yìí hàn.”

Also the King answered vnto Daniel, and said, I know of a trueth that your God is a God of gods, and the Lord of Kings, and the reueiler of secrets, seeing thou couldest open this secret.

48 Nígbà náà ni ọba gbé Daniẹli ga, ó sì fún un ní ẹ̀bùn ńlá tí ó pọ̀. Ó sì fi ṣe olórí i gbogbo agbègbè ìjọba Babeli àti olórí gbogbo àwọn amòye Babeli.

So the King made Daniel a great man, and gaue him many and great giftes. Hee made him gouernour ouer the whole prouince of Babel, and chiefe of the rulers, and aboue all the wise men of Babel.

49 Daniẹli béèrè lọ́wọ́ ọba, ó sì yan Ṣadraki, Meṣaki, àti Abednego gẹ́gẹ́ bí alábojútó ìgbèríko Babeli ṣùgbọ́n Daniẹli fúnra rẹ̀ wà ní ààfin ọba.

Then Daniel made request to the King, and hee set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ouer the charge of the prouince of Babel: but Daniel sate in the gate of the King.
