Daniel 7
1 In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account.
A shekara ta fari ta mulkin Belshazar sarkin Babilon, Daniyel ya yi mafarki, wahayoyi kuma suka ratsa tunaninsa a sa’ad da yake a kwance a gadonsa. Sai ya rubuta abin da mafarkin ya ƙunsa.
2 Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea.
Daniyel ya ce, “A cikin wahayina da dare na duba, a gabana kuwa ga kusurwoyi huɗu na sama suna gurɓata babban teku.
3 Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:
Sai ga dabbobi huɗu, kowannensu ya yi dabam da sauran, suna fitowa daga teku.
4 The first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and given the mind of a man.
“Na farkon ya yi kamar zaki kuma yana da fikafikai kamar gaggafa. Ina kallo, sai aka fizge fikafikanta, aka ɗaga ta sama, aka sa ta tsaya a kan ƙafafu biyu kamar mutum, aka ba ta tunani irin na mutum.
5 Suddenly another beast appeared, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. So it was told, ‘Get up and gorge yourself on flesh!’
“A gabana kuma ga dabba ta biyu, wadda ta yi kamar beyar. Aka ɗaga ta a gefenta guda, tana kuwa da haƙarƙarai uku a bakinta a tsakanin haƙoranta. Aka faɗa mata, ‘Tashi ki cika cikinki da ɗanyen nama!’
6 Next, as I watched, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
“Bayan haka, na duba, a gabana kuwa ga wata dabba wadda ta yi kamar Damisa, a bayanta kuma tana da fikafikai huɗu irin na tsuntsu. Wannan dabbar tana da kawuna huɗu, aka kuma ba ta iko tă yi mulki.
7 After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying—dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns.
“Bayan haka, a cikin wahayina da dare na duba, a gabana kuwa ga dabba ta huɗu, wadda take da bantsoro da banrazana da kuma iko ƙwarai. Tana da manyan haƙoran ƙarfe; ta ragargaje ta cinye abin da ta kama, ta kuma tattaka duk abin da ya rage a ƙarƙashin ƙafafunta. Ta bambanta da dukan sauran dabbobin da suka riga ta, tana kuma da ƙahoni goma.
8 While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
“Yayinda nake cikin tunani game da ƙahonin nan, a gabana kuwa ga wani ƙaho, ɗan ƙanƙani, wanda ya fito daga cikinsu; kuma an tumɓuke uku daga cikin ƙahonin farko kafin wannan. Wannan ƙaho yana da idanu kamar na mutum da kuma bakin da yake maganganun fariya.
9 As I continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
“Ina cikin dubawa, “sai aka ajiye kursiyoyi, sai ga wani wanda yake tun fil azal ya zauna a mazauninsa. Rigarsa ta yi fari fat kamar ƙanƙara; gashin kansa sun yi fari kamar ulu. Kursiyinsa kuma harshen wuta, dukan ƙafafun kursiyin masu kama da keken yaƙin, wuta ne.
10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
Kogin wuta yana gudu, yana fitowa daga gabansa. Dubun dubbai sun yi masa hidima; dubu goma sau dubu goma sun tsaya a gabansa. Aka zauna don shari’a, aka kuma buɗe littattafai.
11 Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.
“Sa’an nan na ci gaba da kallo saboda kalmomin fariyar da wannan ƙaho yake furtawa. Na yi ta kallo har sai da aka yanke dabbar, aka kuma hallaka jikinta a cikin wuta.
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time.
(An tuɓe sauran dabbobin daga mulkinsu, amma aka bar su su rayu na wani lokaci.)
13 In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence.
“A wahayina na dare, na ga a gabana wani kamar ɗan mutum yana saukowa tare da gizagizan sama. Ya kusaci Wannan wanda yake Tun fil azal aka kuma kai shi gabansa.
14 And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
Aka ba shi mulki, daraja da kuma mafificin iko; dukan mutane, da al’ummai, da mutane daga kowane harshe suka yi masa sujada. Mulkinsa kuwa dawwammamen mulki ne da ba zai ƙare ba, sarautarsa kuma ba ta taɓa lalacewa.
15 I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me.
“Ni, Daniyel, ruhuna ya damu ƙwarai, kuma wahayin da ya ratsa tunanina ya dame ni.
16 I approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me the interpretation of these things:
Sai na matsa kusa da ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda suke tsaye a can, na tambaye shi gaskiya ma’anar waɗannan al’amura. “Don haka sai ya faɗa mini, ya kuma ba ni fassarar waɗannan al’amura.
17 ‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
‘Waɗannan manyan dabbobi huɗu, Masarautai ne huɗu waɗanda za su taso a duniya.
18 But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’
Amma tsarkaka na Mafi Ɗaukaka za su karɓi wannan sarauta, za su kuwa mallake ta har abada, I, har abada abadin.’
19 Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others—extremely terrifying—devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left.
“Sa’an nan kuma sai na so in san ma’anar wannan dabba ta huɗu, wadda ta yi dabam da sauran dabbobin da suke da matuƙar bantsoro, da take da haƙoran ƙarfe da kuma farcen tagulla, dabbar ta ragargaje ta cinye abin da ta kama, ta kuma tattaka duk abin da ya rage a ƙarƙashin ƙafafunta.
20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
Na kuma so in gane game da ƙahonin nan guda goma da suke a kanta da kuma game da ƙahon nan da ya fito, wanda aka tumɓuke ƙahoni uku a gabansa, ƙahon nan da yake da idanu da bakin da yake furta manyan maganganun fariya, wanda ya yi kamar ya fi sauran girma.
21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them,
Ina cikin dubawa, sai ga wannan ƙaho yana yaƙi da tsarkaka yana kuma cin nasara a kansu,
22 until the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom.
sai da Wannan wanda yake tun fil azal ya zo ya furta hukunci, aka kuma ba tsarkaka na Mafi Ɗaukaka gaskiya, lokaci kuwa ya cika sai suka karɓi mulki.
23 This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it.
“Sai ya ba ni wannan bayani, ‘Dabbar nan ta huɗu, ita ce mulki na huɗu da zai bayyana a duniya. Zai bambanta da dukan sauran mulkoki, zai kuma cinye dukan duniya, yă tattake ta, yă kuma ragargaje ta.
24 And the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three kings.
Ƙahonin nan goma, sarakuna ne goma waɗanda za su taso daga wannan mulki. Bayansu kuma, wani sarki zai taso, wanda ya sha dabam da waɗanda suka riga shi. Zai rinjayi sarakunan nan uku.
25 He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.
Zai yi maganar saɓo a kan Mafi Ɗaukaka, zai kuma tsananta wa tsarkaka yă kuma yi ƙoƙarin sāke lokuta da shari’u. Za a miƙa tsarkaka a hannunsa na wani lokaci, lokuta da kuma rabin lokaci.
26 But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.
“‘Amma majalisa za tă yi zama, za a karɓe ikonsa, a kuma hallaka shi gaba ɗaya har abada.
27 Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’
Sa’an nan za a ba da mulki, iko da girma na mulkokin da suke a ƙarƙashin dukan sammai ga tsarkaka, mutane na Mafi Ɗaukaka. Mulkinsa kuwa mulki ne marar matuƙa, kuma dukan masu mulki za su yabe shi, su kuma yi masa biyayya.’
28 Thus ends the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. But I kept the matter to myself.”
“Wannan shi ne ƙarshen batun. Ni, Daniyel na damu ƙwarai da irin tunanina, kuma fuskata ta rikice, amma na riƙe batun a zuciyata.”
