1 Hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da dunu fifi asi gala amola sia: hisu hisu amola dunu huluane osobo bagadega esalu ilima sia: sia: negai agoane, “Na da dilima asigi sia: sia: sa!
King Nebuchadnezzar sent this decree to all peoples, nations, and languages who lived on the earth: May your peace increase.
2 Nabima! Gode Gadodafa da nama musa: hame ba: su amola dawa: digima: ne olelesu gasa bagade hou amo nama olelei dagoi. Amo hou na da dilima olelemu.
It has seemed good to me to tell you about the signs and wonders that the Most High has done for me.
3 Gode Gadodafa Ea hou da noga: idafa. E da musa: hame ba: su amola dawa: digima: ne olelesu gasa bagade hou hamonana. E da Hina Bagade. Ea Hinadafa Hou da eso huluane mae fisili dialalalumu.
How great are his signs, and how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion lasts from generation to generation.”
4 Na da Nebiuga: denese. Na da ni diasuga gebewane esalu. Na amola da na hawa: hamosu da defeadafa. Na da liligi bagade gaguiba: le, na da hahawane esalu.
I, Nebuchadnezzar, was living happily in my house, and I was enjoying prosperity in my palace.
5 Be gasi afadafaga na simasi amoga na da beda: i bagade galu.
But a dream I had made me afraid. As I lay there, the images I saw and the visions in my mind troubled me.
6 Na da Ba: bilone amo ganodini bagade dawa: su dunu huluane amo simasi ea bai nama olelema: ne, nama misa: ne sia: i.
So I gave a decree to bring before me all the men of Babylon who had wisdom so they could interpret the dream for me.
7 Amaiba: le, bagade dawa: su dunu, ba: la: lusu dunu, nabi dunu, fefedoasu dunu amola gesami dasu dunu huluane ilia da nama oule misi. Na da na simasi amo ilima olelei. Be ilia da amo bai nama olelemu hamedei agoane ba: i.
Then came the magicians, those who claimed to speak with the dead, the wise men, and the astrologers. I told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me.
8 Fa: no, Da: niele da misi. Na da ema dio eno asuli amo Beledesia: sa. Go da na ‘gode’ amo ea dio sia: sa. Gode Ea A: silibu da ea dogo ganodini sali dagoi ba: i. Amaiba: le, na simasi amo na da ema adole i. Na da ema amane adoi,
But at last Daniel came in—the one who is named Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods—and I told him the dream.
9 “Beledesia: sa! Di da bisili ba: la: lusu dunu. Hadigi Gode Ea A: silibu da dia dogo ganodini sali, amo na dawa: Di da wamolegei hou huluane dawa: Defea, wali na simasi hou nabima. Amola di da amo ea bai nama olelema.
“Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is too difficult for you. Tell me what I saw in my dream and what it means.
10 Na da golai simasia agoane ba: i. Na ba: loba ifa sedade lelebe ba: i. E da osobo bagade dogoa amo ganodini lelu.
These were the sights that I saw in my mind as I lay upon my bed: I looked, and there was a tree in the middle of the earth, and its height was very great.
11 Amo ifa da bagadedafa alele amola ea banuguma amo da heda: le muagadodafa amoga doaga: i ba: i. Amola osobo bagadega dunu fi ilia huluane sodosu.
The tree grew and became strong. Its top reached to the heavens, and it could be seen to the ends of the whole earth.
12 Goe ifa da lubi huluanedafa da noga: idafa ba: i. Amola amo ea fage da bagohamedafa ba: i. Amola fage amo da osobo bagade dunu huluane nawene sadimu defele ba: i. Ohe sogega fi amo da misini ea ougiha helefisu. Amola sio fi da misini, ea amoda amoga bibisu amola liligi enoenoi ilia da misini, ea fage amo nasu.
Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit was abundant, and on it was food for all. The wild animals found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens lived in its branches. All living creatures were fed from it.
13 Na da amo simasi goe dadawa: laloba, amola ba: loba da a: igele dunu da Hebene amoga dalebe ba: i. Amo a: igele da liligi huluane ouligisu dawa:
I saw in my mind as I lay on my bed, and a holy messenger came down from the heavens.
14 E da gasa bagade wei amo nabi, ‘Goe ifa gelele sa: ima: ne abima! Amalalu ea amoda dadamuma! Amola ea lubi amola ea fage huluane gilifuli fasima. Amola ea ougiha ohe fi go sefasima. Amola sio ea amodaga fi gala sefasima.
He shouted and said, 'Chop down the tree and cut off its branches, strip off its leaves, and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it and the birds fly away from its branches.
15 Be ifa ea bai amo fawane yolesima. Amola amo ifa bai bulu agoai ouli amola balase amoga hamoi amoga idinigilisima. Amo ifa bai sogega gisi amola gilisili dialoma: ne yolesima. Amola oubi baea da amo dunuma sa: imu da defea. Amola e amola ohe fi gisiaga gilisili esaloma: mu.
Leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the middle of the tender grass of the field. Let it be wet with the dew from the heavens. Let it live with the animals among the plants on the ground.
16 E da ea asigi dawa: su fisili, ode fesuale amoga ohe fi ilia asigi dawa: su defele da ea dogo ganodini dialumu.
Let his mind be changed from a man's mind, and let an animal's mind be given to him until seven years pass by.
17 A: igele dunu ilia da eso huluane mae golale liligi huluane ba: lala. Ilia da amo hou waha sia: i amo ilegei dagoi. Bai dunu fifi asi gala huluane Baligisu Gode da gasa gala amola E da dunu huluanedafa ilima Hina esala, amo ilia da dawa: mu da defea. E da hina hou Hi hanaiga hamosa amola E da fi ouligisu hou eso enoga dunu afae amoga fadegalalu, Ea hanaiga eno dunu ilima (dunu bagade o fonobahadi Hi fawane dawa: ) ilima iaha,’ a: igele da amane sia: i.
This decision is by the decree reported by the messenger. It is a decision made by the holy ones so that those who are alive may know that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of people and gives them to anyone he wishes to place over them, even to the most humble men.'
18 Na da amo simasia ba: i. Defea, wali Beledesia: sa, di da amo simasi bai amo nama adole ima. Na fada: i sia: su ouligisu dunu huluane da nama amo ea bai olelemu hamedeiwane ba: i. Be Gode Ea A: silibu da dia dogo ganodini aligila sa: i dagoiba: le, di da na simasia bai nama olelemusa: dawa: ,” Nebiuga: denese da amane sia: i.
I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had this dream. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because none of the men with wisdom in my kingdom can interpret it for me. But you are able to do so, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
19 Amo sia: nababeba: le, Da: niele (ea eno dio da Beledesia: sa) e da fofogadigili beda: iba: le, bu adole imunu gogolei. Be Nebiuga: denese da ema amane sia: i, “Di amo simasi amola ea bai nababeba: le, mae beda: ma!” Beledesia: sa da bu adole i, “Hina bagade! Goe simasi ea hou amola ea bai da dima ha lai dunu ilima doaga: mu da defea galu.
Then Daniel, who was also named Belteshazzar, was greatly upset for a while, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.” Belteshazzar replied, “My master, may the dream be for those who hate you; may its interpretation be for your enemies.
20 Dia ifa afae bagade ba: i. Amo ea banuguma da mu amoga doaga: idafa ba: i amola osobo bagade fi dunu huluane amo ba: i.
The tree that you saw—which grew and became strong, and whose top reached up to the heavens, and which could be seen to the ends of the whole earth—
21 Goe ifa da lubi huluanedafa da noga: idafa ba: i. Amola amo ea fage da bagohamedafa ba: i. Amola fage amo da osobo bagade dunu huluane nawane sadimu defele ba: i. Ohe sogega fi amo da misini ea ougiha helefisu. Amola sio fi da misini, ea amoda, amoga bibisu amola liligi enoenoi ilia da misini, ea fage amo nasu.
whose leaves were beautiful, and whose fruit was abundant, so that in it was food for all, and under it the animals of the field found shade, and in which the birds of the heavens lived—
22 Hina bagade! Amo ifa fedege da difawane. Dia gasa da bagade heda: iba: le, fedege agoane muagado doaga: i dagoi. Di da osobo bagade dunu huludafa ouligisa.
this tree is you, king, you who have grown so strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, and your authority reaches to the ends of the earth.
23 Dia simasi amo ganodini amane ba: i. Amola dia ba: i a: igele dunu da Hebene amoga dalebe ba: i. Amo a: igele da liligi huluane ouligisu dawa: E da gasa bagade wei agoane nabi, ‘Goe ifa gelele sa: ima: ne abima. Amalalu ea amoda amola dadamuma! Amola ea lubi amola ea fage huluane gilifuli fasima. Amola ea ougiha ohe fi go sefasima. Amola sio ea amodaga fi go sefasima. Be ifa ea bai amo fawane yolesima. Amola amo ifa bai bulu agoai ouli amola balase amoga hamoi amoga idiniginisima. Amo ifa bai sogega gisi amola gilisili dialoma: ne yolesima. Amola oubi baea da amo dunuma sa: imu da defea.

You, king, saw a holy messenger coming down from heaven and saying, 'Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the middle of the tender grass of the field. Let it be wet with the dew from the heavens. Let it live with the wild animals in the fields until seven years pass by.'
24 Hina bagade! Goe simasi ea bai da agoane. Gode Gadodafa da fa: no dima misunu hou olelei dagoi.
This is the interpretation, king. It is a decree of the Most High that has reached you, my master the king.
25 Di da dunu amola uda ilia gilisisu amoga sefasi dagoi ba: mu. Amola di da asili ohe sogega di amola ohe fi da gilisili esalumu. Amola di da bulamagau agoane gisi nanumu. Amola di da hamega gadili golamu amola oubi baea da di da: iya sa: imu. Di da amanewane ode fesuale esalumu. Amalalu di da Gode Gadodafa amo da fifi asi gala ilima Hinadafa esalebe, amo di da dafawaneyale dawa: mu. Amola E da hina hou Hi hanaiga hamosa amola E da fi ouligisu hou eso enoga dunu afae amoga fadegalalu, Ea hanaiga eno dunu ilima (dunu bagade o fonobahadi Hi fawane dawa: ) ilima iaha, amo di da dawa: mu.
You will be driven from among men, and you will live with the wild animals in the fields. You will be made to eat grass like an ox, and you will be wet with the dew from the heavens, and seven years will pass by until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of people and that he gives them to anyone he wishes.
26 Dia da a: igele ea adobe amo nabi dagoi. E da ifa bai amo da osoba amoga: iwane dialumu sia: i. Amo bai da agoane. Di da Gode Hifawane da osobo bagade fifi asi gala amola liligi huluanedafa ouligisa, amo dafawaneyale dawa: lalu, defea, di da bu hina bagade dunu hamomu.
As it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, in this way your kingdom will be returned to you from the time you learn that heaven rules.
27 Amaiba: le, hina bagade! Na dima adoi amo di nabima. Wadela: i hou amo fisima. Di da moloidafa hou fawane hamoma. Amola nowa dunu liligi hamedei galea dia fidima. Amalalu, dia da bagade gaguiwane wali dia gagui defele ba: mu,” Da: niele da amane sia: i.
Therefore, king, let my advice be acceptable to you. Stop sinning and do what is right. Turn away from your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, and it may be that your prosperity will be extended.”
28 Fa: no, amo hou huludafa da hina bagade Nebiuga: denese ema doaga: i.
All these things happened to King Nebuchadnezzar.
29 Ode afae da gidigilalu, eso afaega e da asili diasu Ba: bilone ganodini amo ea gadodili fila ahoasu amoga ahoanoba,
Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace in Babylon,
30 e amane sia: i, “Ba: bilone moilai bai bagade da bagade amola bisili noga: idafa. Amo moilai bai bagade nisu na hadigi amola na gasa amola na baligisu hou amo dunu huluane ba: ma: ne amola nama nodoma: ne, nisu da gagui dagoi.”
and he said, “Is this not the great Babylon, which I have built for my royal residence, for the glory of my majesty?”
31 Ea sia: ne gabe galu, Hebene amoga sia: afae misini amane nabi, “Hina bagade, Nebiuga: denese! Dia na sia: nabima! Gode da dia gasa bagade ouligisu hou amo dima fadegai dagoi.
While the words were still on the lips of the king, a voice came from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, it is announced to you that this kingdom has been taken away from you.
32 Di da dunu amola uda ilia gilisisu amoga sefasi dagoi ba: mu. Amola di da asili ohe sogega di amola ohe fi da gilisili esalumu. Amola di da bulamagau agoane gisi nanumu. Amola di da hamega gadili golamu amola oubi baea da di da: iya sa: imu. Di da amanewane ode fesuale esalumu. Amalalu di da Gode Gadodafa amo da fifi asi gala ilima Hinadafa esalebe, amo di da dafawaneyale dawa: mu. Amola E da Hina: hou Hi hanaiga hamosa amola E da fi ouligisu hou eso enoga dunu afae amoga fadegalalu, Ea hanaiga eno dunu ilima (dunu bagade o fonobahadi Hi fawane dawa: ) ilima iaha, amo di da dawa: mu!”
You will be driven away from people, and your home will be with the wild animals in the fields. You will be made to eat grass like an ox. Seven years will pass until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of people and he gives them to anyone he wishes.”
33 Hedolodafa, a:igele ea sia: i defele, amo hou da doaga: i dagoi. Nebiuga: denese da dunu amola uda amo ilia gilisisu amoga sefasi dagoi ba: i. E da bulamagau agoane, gisi nanu. Oubi baea da ea da: i da: iya sa: i amola ea hinabo da sedagili buhiba ea hinabo defele ba: i amola ea ifi sewe go da ma: ni amo ea ifi agoai ba: i.
This decree against Nebuchadnezzar was carried out immediately. He was driven away from people. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew from the heavens. His hair grew as long as eagles' feathers, and his nails became like birds' claws.
34 Nebiuga: denese da amane sia: i, “Amalalu, ode fesuale amo gidigili, na da mu amoga ba: le gadole, na asigi dawa: su da bu noga: i misi. Amanoba, na da Gode Gadodafa Ema nodoi. Na hahawane bagadeba: le, Ea hadigi Dio amo nodone gagui gadoi, amane, ‘Hina Gode Bagadedafa da eso huluane Hinawane ouligilalumu.
At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was given back to me. “I praised the Most High, and I honored and glorified the one who lives forever. For his reign is an everlasting reign, and his kingdom endures from all generations to all generations.
35 E da osobo bagade dunu huluane ouligisa. Amola E da Ea ouligibi amo da liligi fonobahadi agoane ba: sa. Amola E da a: igele fi dunu amola osobo bagade fi dunu huluane ouligisa. E da liligi afae hamomusa: sia: nanu dunu enoga Ea logo hame ga: mu. Amola ea sia: i amo da enoga hame gua: ne fasimu.’
All the earth's inhabitants are considered by him to be as nothing; he does among the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth whatever suits his will. No one can stop him or challenge him. No one can say to him, 'Why have you done this?'”
36 Na doulasi fisi dagoi ba: loba, Gode da na musa: ouligisu hou amola na hadigi amola na gasa nama bu i. Na fidisu dunu amola na eagene dunu da na hahawane bu yosia: i. Amola na hadigi gasa bu lai da na musa: hadigi amo baligili ba: i.
At the same time that my sanity returned to me, my majesty and splendor returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My counselors and my noblemen sought my favor. I was brought back to my throne, and even more greatness was given to me.
37 Amaiba: le, wali, na Nebiuga: denese, na da hahawane bagade Gode Hebene amo ganodini esalebe amoma, na da Ea Dio gaguia gadosa. E da eso huluane moloidafa fawane hamosa. Amola E da nowa dunu hina: dio gaguia gadosa amola gasa fi hamosa, E da amo dunu bu fonobomusa: dawa: !”
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, extol, and honor the King of heaven, for all his deeds are right, and his ways are just. He can humble those who walk in their own pride.
