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.
Bara Beelshaazaar mootii Baabilon keessa waggaa tokkoffaatti Daaniʼel utuu siree isaa irra ciisee jiruu abjuu fi mulʼata arge. Abjuu sanas barreessee waan arges ibse.
2 Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea.
Daaniʼel akkana jedhe; “Ani halkan sana mulʼata koo keessatti nan ilaale; kunoo qilleensonni samii afran fuula koo duratti galaana guddaa raasaa turan.
3 Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:
Bineensonni gurguddaan tokkoon tokkoon isaanii wal hin fakkaanne afur galaana sana keessaa ol baʼan.
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.
“Inni jalqabaa leenca fakkaata ture; qoochoowwan risaa qaba ture. Anis hamma qoochoowwan isaa irraa bubuqqaʼanitti nan ilaale; innis lafaa ol qabamee akkuma namaa miilla lamaan dhaabate; qalbiin namaas ni kennameef.
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!’
“Kunoo bineensi lammaffaan amaaketa fakkaatu fuula koo dura ture. Innis cinaacha isaa tokkoon ol jedhee ture; afaan isaa keessatti ilkaan isaa gidduutti lafee cinaachaa sadii qabatee ture. Bineensa sanaanis, ‘Kaʼiitii hamma quuftutti foon nyaadhu!’ jedhan.
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.
“Ergasii ani nan ilaale; fuula koo duras bineensa biraa kan qeerransa fakkaatuttu ture. Dugda isaa irras qoochoo akka qoochoo simbirroo afurtu ture. Bineensi kun mataa afur qaba ture; akka bulchuufis aangoon isaa kenname.
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.
“Ergasiis ani halkan keessa mulʼata nan arge; kunoo fuula koo dura bineensa afuraffaa akka malee jabaa, sodaachisaa nama rifachiisu tokkotu ture. Innis ilkaan sibiilaa dheeraa qaba ture; innis waan qabate caccabsee nyaatee kan hafe immoo miilla isaa jalatti dhidhiita ture. Bineensi kun bineensota duraan turaniin adda taʼee gaanfa kudhan qaba ture.
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.
“Utuu ani waaʼee gaanfawwan sanaa yaadaa jiruu gaanfi xinnaan isaan gidduudhaa baʼe biraa tokko fuula koo duratti mulʼate; gaanfawwan jalqabaa keessaa sadan isaanii fuula isaa duratti bubuqqaʼan. Gaanfi kunis ija ija namaa fakkaatuu fi afaan of tuulummaadhaan dubbatu qaba ture.
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.
“Utuma ani ilaaluu, “Teessoowwan iddoo iddoo isaanii kaaʼaman; Inni Bara Durii teessoo isaa irra taaʼe. Uffanni Isaa adii akka cabbii ture; rifeensi mataa isaa qulqulluu akka suufii ture. Teessoon Isaa akka arraba ibiddaa, geengoowwan isaa hundinuus akka ibidda bobaʼaa jiruu turan.
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.
Lagni ibiddaa tokko fuula isaa duraa ni yaaʼa ture. Kumni kumaatamni irratti isa tajaajilu turan; kumni kudhan kan yeroo kuma kudhan baayʼatan fuula isaa dura dhaabatanii turan. Dhaddachi taaʼamee ture; kitaabonnis banamanii turan.
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.
“Ani sababii dubbii of tuulummaa gaanfi sun dubbachaa jiruutiif ilaaluu koo ittan fufe. Anis amma illee ittuma fufee hamma bineensi sun qalamee dhagni isaa barbadaaʼee ibidda bobaʼutti darbatamutti nan ilaale.
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.
Bineensota kaan irraa immoo aangoon isaanii ni fudhatame; garuu akka isaan yeroof jiraatan ni eeyyamameef.
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.
“Anis mulʼata halkaniitiin nan ilaale; kunoo fuula koo dura ilma namaa kan fakkaatu tokkotu duumessa samiitiin dhufaa ture. Innis gara Isa Bara Duriitti dhufe; fuula isaa durattis isa dhiʼeessan.
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.
Isaafis taayitaan, ulfinnii fi mootummaan ni kenname; uummanni hundi, saboonnii fi namoonni afaan garaa garaa dubbatanis isa waaqeffatan. Bulchiinsi isaa bulchiinsa bara baraa kan hin dabarree dha; mootummaan isaas kan gonkumaa hin badnee dha.
15 I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me.
“Ani Daaniʼel hafuura kootiin nan jeeqame; mulʼanni ani arges akka malee na sodaachise.
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:
Anis warra achi dhadhaabachaa turan keessaa isa tokkotti dhiʼaadhee hiikkaa dhugaa kan waan kana hundaa nan gaafadhe. “Kanaafuu inni natti himee akkana jedhee hiikkaa waan kanaa anaaf ibse:
17 ‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
‘Bineensonni gurguddaan afran mootota afran kaʼanii lafa irratti moʼanii dha.
18 But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’
Garuu qulqulloonni Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii mootummaa sana ni fudhatu; bara baraanis ni fudhatu; eeyyee, bara baraa hamma bara baraatti ni dhaalu.’
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.
“Ergasiis ani hiikkaa dhugaa kan bineensa afuraffaa isa bineensota kaan irraa adda taʼee ilkaan sibiilaatii fi qeensa naasii qabu kan akka malee sodaachisaa taʼe kan waan qabate nyaatuu fi waan hafe immoo miilla isaa jalatti dhidhiitu sanaa beekuu nan barbaade.
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.
Akkasumas waaʼee gaanfawwan kurnan mataa isaa irra jiraniitii fi gaanfa baʼe inni biraa kan isaan kaan fuula isaa duratti kufanii, isa hunda isaanii caalu kan ijaa fi afaan ittiin of jajaa dubbatu qabu sanaa beekuu nan barbaade.
21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them,
Gaanfi kunis utuma ani arguu qulqulloota irratti waraana labsee isaan moʼachaa ture;
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.
kunis hamma Inni Bara Durii dhufee qulqulloota Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitiif murutti ture; yeroon itti qulqulloonni mootummaa dhaalanis ni dhufe.
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.
“Innis akkana naan jedhe: ‘Bineensi afuraffaan sun mootummaa afuraffaa lafa irratti mulʼatuu dha. Inni mootummoota kaan hunda irraa adda; guutummaa lafaa barbadeessee gad dhidhiitee daaraa godha.
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.
Gaanfawwan kurnan mootota kurnan mootummaa kana keessaa dhufanii dha. Isaan booddees mootiin biraa kan warra duraa irraa adda taʼe tokko ni kaʼa; innis mootota sadii of jala galfata.
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.
Inni Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii mormuudhaan qulqulloota isaa cunqursee yeroo murteeffameef seera illee geeddaruuf yaala. Qulqulloonnis bara tokkoof, bara lamaa fi walakkaa baraatiif dabarfamanii harka isaatti ni kennamu.
26 But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.
“‘Garuu dhaddachi ni taaʼama; aangoon isaas irraa fudhatamee inni bara baraan guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeeffama.
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.’
Ergasiis gooftummaan, humnii fi guddinni mootummootaa guutummaa samii gaditti qulqulloota, Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitiif ni kennamu. Mootummaan isaas mootummaa bara baraan itti fufuu dha; bulchitoonni hundinuu isa waaqeffatu; ni ajajamuufis.’
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.”
“Dhumni waan sanaa kana. Ani Daaniʼel yaada kootiin akka malee nan dhiphadhe; fuulli koo ni geeddarame; ani garuu waan sana garaa kootti qabadheen ture.”
