10 Ol Kaldia i bekim tok long king olsem: “I no gat wanpela man long graun inap mekim samting king i askim long en, bikos i no gat wanpela king i gat biknem o wanpela gavana i bin askim ol pris i save wokim kain kain mejik o ol man i save toktok wantaim ol daiman o ol Kaldia long mekim dispela kain samting. 11 Samting king i askim long en i hat moa yet, na i no gat wanpela man i stap inap tokim king long dispela samting, nogat, ol god tasol inap mekim, em ol god i no save stap namel long ol man.”

Na Ariok i stori long Daniel long samting i bin kamap.+ 16 Olsem na Daniel i go long king na askim em long givim em sampela haptaim long kamapim mining bilong driman long king.

24 Orait Daniel i go long Ariok, em man king i bin makim bilong kilim i dai ol saveman bilong Babilon,+ na em i tokim em: “No ken kilim i dai ol saveman bilong Babilon. Kisim mi i go long king, na mi bai kamapim mining bilong driman long king.”

25 Wantu Ariok i kisim Daniel i go long king na tokim em: “Mi painim pinis wanpela man bilong lain Juda i stap olsem kalabus,+ em inap kamapim mining bilong driman long king.” 26 King i tokim Daniel, em nem bilong em, Beltesasar:+ “Tru tru yu inap tokim mi long driman mi bin lukim na long mining bilong en?”+ 27 Daniel i bekim tok long king olsem: “I no gat wanpela bilong ol saveman, ol man i save toktok wantaim ol daiman, ol pris i save wokim kain kain mejik, na ol glasman bilong ol sta inap tokim king long tok hait em i askim ol long en.+ 28 Tasol i gat wanpela God long heven husat i Man Bilong Tokaut long ol samting i stap hait,+ na em i bin kamapim long King Nebukatnesar wanem samting bai kamap long taim bilong las de.

Tasol dispela ston i bin paitim imis, em i kamap wanpela traipela maunten, na i karamapim olgeta hap bilong graun.

36 “Dispela em driman bilong yu, na nau mipela bai tokim king long mining bilong dispela driman. 37 Yu, O king—yu king bilong olgeta king, na God bilong heven i bin givim yu kingdom,+ strong, na glori, 38 na long han bilong yu, em i bin putim ol man maski ol i stap long wanem wanem hap, na tu, ol wel animal na ol pisin bilong skai, na em i bin mekim yu i bosim olgeta bilong ol+—yu yet i dispela het gol.+

39 “Tasol bihain long yu, narapela kingdom bai kamap,+ em bai no gat bikpela strong olsem yu; na bihain narapela kingdom bai kamap em namba 3, em kopa, na em bai bosim olgeta hap bilong graun.+

40 “Na namba 4 kingdom, em bai strong olsem ain.+ Wankain olsem ain i save brukbrukim i go liklik liklik na pinisim olgeta samting, yes, olsem ain i save memeim ol samting, em bai brukbrukim na memeim olgeta dispela kingdom.+

41 “Na olsem yu bin lukim tupela fut na ol tou bilong lek em hap graun* na hap ain, dispela kingdom bai bruk, tasol sampela strong bilong ain bai stap long en, olsem yu bin lukim ain i miks wantaim graun malumalum. 42 Na olsem ol tou bilong tupela fut em hap ain na hap graun, dispela kingdom bai i gat strong long wanpela samting na long narapela samting, em bai malumalum. 43 Olsem yu bin lukim ain i miks wantaim graun malumalum, ol* bai miks wantaim ol manmeri;* tasol ol i no inap pas wantaim, narapela i no inap pas long narapela, wankain olsem ain i no save miks wantaim graun.
