Daniel 4

1 King Nebuchadnezzar, To the people of every nation and language who dwell in all the earth: May your prosperity be multiplied.

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!

2 I am pleased to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me.

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.

3 How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; His dominion endures from generation to generation.

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.

4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and flourishing in my palace.

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.

5 I had a dream, and it frightened me; while in my bed, the images and visions in my mind alarmed me.

Be gasi afadafaga na simasi amoga na da beda: i bagade galu.

6 So I issued a decree that all the wise men of Babylon be brought before me to interpret the dream for me.

Na da Ba: bilone amo ganodini bagade dawa: su dunu huluane amo simasi ea bai nama olelema: ne, nama misa: ne sia: i.

7 When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners came in, I told them the dream, and they could not interpret it for me.

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.

8 But at last, into my presence came Daniel (whose name is Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods). And I told him the dream:

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,

9 “O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery baffles you. So explain to me the visions I saw in my dream, and their interpretation.

“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.

10 In these visions of my mind as I was lying in bed, I saw this come to pass: There was a tree in the midst of the land, and its height was great.

Na da golai simasia agoane ba: i. Na ba: loba ifa sedade lelebe ba: i. E da osobo bagade dogoa amo ganodini lelu.

11 The tree grew large and strong; its top reached the sky, and it was visible to the ends of the earth.

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.

12 Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit was abundant, and upon it was food for all. Under it the beasts of the field found shelter, in its branches the birds of the air nested, and from it every creature was fed.

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.

13 As I lay on my bed, I also saw in the visions of my mind a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven.

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:

14 He called out in a loud voice: ‘Cut down the tree and chop off its branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.

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.

15 But leave the stump with its roots in the ground, and a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven and graze with the beasts on the grass of the earth.

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.

16 Let his mind be changed from that of a man, and let him be given the mind of a beast till seven times pass him by.

E da ea asigi dawa: su fisili, ode fesuale amoga ohe fi ilia asigi dawa: su defele da ea dogo ganodini dialumu.

17 This decision is the decree of the watchers, the verdict declared by the holy ones, so that the living will know that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes, setting over it the lowliest of men.’

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.

18 This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. Now, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because none of the wise men of my kingdom can interpret it for me. But you are able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”

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.

19 For a time, Daniel, who was also known as Belteshazzar, was perplexed, and his thoughts alarmed him. So the king said, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.” “My lord,” replied Belteshazzar, “may the dream apply to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your enemies!

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.

20 The tree you saw that grew large and strong, whose top reached the sky and was visible to all the earth,

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.

21 whose foliage was beautiful and whose fruit was abundant, providing food for all, under which the beasts of the field lived, and in whose branches the birds of the air nested—

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.

22 you, O king, are that tree! For you have become great and strong; your greatness has grown to reach the sky, and your dominion extends to the ends of the earth.

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.

23 And you, O king, saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying: ‘Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump with its roots in the ground, and a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and graze with the beasts of the field till seven times pass him by.’

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. Amola e amola ohe fi gisiaga esalumu da defea. E da ea asigi dawa: su fisili, ode fesuale amoga ohe fi ilia asigi dawa: su defele da ea dogo ganodini dialumu,’ a: igele da amane sia: i.

24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree that the Most High has issued against my lord the king:

Hina bagade! Goe simasi ea bai da agoane. Gode Gadodafa da fa: no dima misunu hou olelei dagoi.

25 You will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field. You will feed on grass like an ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.

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.

26 As for the command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots, your kingdom will be restored to you as soon as you acknowledge that Heaven rules.

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.

27 Therefore, may my advice be pleasing to you, O king. Break away from your sins by doing what is right, and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed. Perhaps there will be an extension of your prosperity.”

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.

28 All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar.

Fa: no, amo hou huludafa da hina bagade Nebiuga: denese ema doaga: i.

29 Twelve months later, as he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,

Ode afae da gidigilalu, eso afaega e da asili diasu Ba: bilone ganodini amo ea gadodili fila ahoasu amoga ahoanoba,

30 the king exclaimed, “Is this not Babylon the Great, which I myself have built by the might of my power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?”

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.”

31 While the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven: “It is decreed to you, King Nebuchadnezzar, that the kingdom has departed from you.

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.

32 You will be driven away from mankind to live with the beasts of the field, and you will feed on grass like an ox. And seven times will pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.”

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!”

33 At that moment the sentence against Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from mankind. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

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.

34 But at the end of those days I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my sanity was restored to me. Then I praised the Most High, and I honored and glorified Him who lives forever: “For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation.

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.

35 All the peoples of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does as He pleases with the army of heaven and the peoples of the earth. There is no one who can restrain His hand or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’”

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.’

36 At the same time my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne, and surpassing greatness was added to me.

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.

37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, for all His works are true and all His ways are just. And He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

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: !”
