Daniel 2
1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar saw a dream, and his spirit was terrified, and his dream fled from him.
Nebukadnezar bara mootummaa isaa keessa, waggaa lammaffaatti abjuu abjoote; hafuurri isaa jeeqamee hirribas rafuu dadhabe.
2 Yet the king commanded that the seers, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be gathered together to reveal to the king his dreams. When they arrived, they stood in front of the king.
Kanaafuu mootichi akka isaan abjuu inni abjoote sana itti himaniif tolchitoota, mortoota, falfaltootaa fi warra urjii ilaalan waamsise; isaanis ol galanii fuula isaa dura dhadhaabatan;
3 And the king said to them, “I saw a dream, and, being confused in mind, I do not know what I saw.”
mootichis, “Ani abjuu na dhiphise tokko nan abjoodhe; hiikkaa abjuu sanaa maal akka taʼe beekuu nan barbaada” jedheen.
4 And the Chaldeans answered the king in Syriac, “O king, live forever. Tell the dream to your servants, and we will reveal its interpretation.”
Kana irratti warri urjii ilaalan sun afaan Araamaayikiitiin mootichaan, “Yaa mootii, bara baraan jiraadhu! Abjuu kee tajaajiltoota keetti himi; nu siif hiiknaa” jedhanii mootichaaf deebisan.
5 And in answer, the king said to the Chaldeans, “The memory of it has slipped away from me. Unless you reveal the dream to me, and its meaning, you will be put to death, and your houses will be confiscated.
Mootichis warra urjii ilaalan sanaan akkana jedhe; “Ani waan kana murteesseera: Yoo isin abjuu koo fi hiikkaa isaa natti himuu baattan ani isinan kukkuta; manneen keessanis tuulaa waan diigamee taʼu.
6 But if you explain the dream and its meaning, you will receive from me rewards, and gifts, and great honor. Therefore, reveal to me the dream and its interpretation.”
Garuu yoo abjuu sanaa fi hiikkaa isaa natti himtan isin kennaa, badhaasaa fi ulfina guddaa narraa argattu. Kanaafuu abjuu sanaa fi hiikkaa isaa natti himaa.”
7 They answered again and said, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will reveal its interpretation.”
Isaan amma illee deebisanii, “Mootichi abjuu isaa tajaajiltoota isaatti haa himu; nu ni hiiknaaf” jedhan.
8 The king answered and said, “I am certain that you are stalling for time because you know that the memory of it has slipped away from me.
Kana irratti mootichi akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani akka isin sababii waan ani cimsee murteesse beektaniif, akka isin yeroo dheeressuu yaalaa jirtan hubadheera:
9 Therefore, if you do not reveal to me the dream, there is only one conclusion to be reached about you, that the interpretation is likewise false, and packed full of deception, so as to speak before me until the time passes away. And so, tell me the dream, so that I will also know that the interpretation that you tell me is likewise true.”
Yoo isin abjuu sana natti himuu baattan, adabbii tokkotu isin eeggata. Isin waan haalli geeddaramu seetanii dubbii dogoggorsaa fi hamaa natti himuu mariʼattaniirtu. Kanaafuu abjuu sana natti himaa; anis akka isin hiikkaa isaa natti himuu dandeessan kanaan nan beekaa.”
10 Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and they said, “There is no man on earth who can accomplish your word, O king. For neither has any king, however great and mighty, asked for an answer of this kind from every seer, and astrologer, and Chaldean.
Warri urjii ilaalan sunis akkana jedhanii mootichaaf deebise; “Namni waan mootichi gaafate kana hojjechuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu lafa irratti hin argamu! Mootiin kam iyyuu hammuma fedhee guddaa fi jabaa taʼu illee tolchituu, moortuu yookaan warra urjii ilaalu kam iyyuu gaaffii akkanaa gaafatee hin beeku.
11 For the answer that you seek, O king, is very difficult. Neither can anyone be found who can reveal it in the sight of the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.”
Wanni mootichi gaafate akka malee rakkisaa dha. Waaqota malee namni tokko iyyuu waan kana mootichaaf ibsuu hin dandaʼu; isaan immoo namoota gidduu hin jiraatan.”
12 When he heard this, the king commanded, in fury and in great wrath, that all the wise men of Babylon should be destroyed.
Wanni kunis mooticha akka malee aarse; isa dallansiisees akka inni ogeeyyii Baabilon hundatti murtii duʼaa muru godhe.
13 And when the decree had gone forth, the wise men were put to death; and Daniel and his companions were sought, to be destroyed.
Kanaafuu akka namoonni ogeeyyiin hundi ajjeefaman labsiin baʼe; namoonnis akka Daaniʼelii fi michoota isaa barbaadanii ajjeesaniif ergaman.
14 Then Daniel inquired, about the law and the sentence, of Arioch, the general of the king’s army, who had gone forth to execute the wise men of Babylon.
Yommuu Ariyook itti gaafatamaan eegumsa mootichaa namoota Baabilon ogeeyyii ajjeesuuf baʼetti, Daaniʼel ogummaa fi malaan isa haasofsiise.
15 And he asked him, who had received the orders of the king, for what reason such a cruel sentence had gone forth from the face of the king. And so, when Arioch had revealed the matter to Daniel,
Innis qondaala mootichaatiin, “Mootichi maaliif labsii cimaa akkasii baase?” jedhee gaafate. Ariyookis waan sana Daaniʼelitti hime.
16 Daniel went in and asked of the king that he would grant him time to reveal the solution to the king.
Kana irratti Daaniʼel ol seenee akka abjuu sana isaaf hiikuuf akka mootichi yeroo isaa kennu gaafate.
17 And he went into his house and explained the task to Hananiah, and Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
Ergasii Daaniʼel gara mana isaatti deebiʼee waan sana michoota isaa Hanaaniyaatti, Miisaaʼelii fi Azariyaatti hime.
18 so that they would seek mercy before the face of the God of heaven, about this mystery, and so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the other wise men of Babylon.
Kanaafuu akka innii fi michoonni isaa ogeeyyiin Baabilon kaan hin ajjeefamneef akka isaan waaʼee icciitii kanaa Waaqa samii araara kadhatan isaan akeekkachiise.
19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night. And Daniel blessed the God of heaven,
Halkan sanas icciitiin sun mulʼataan Daaniʼelitti mulʼifame. Ergasiis Daaniʼel Waaqa samii galateeffatee
20 and speaking aloud, he said, “May the name of the Lord be blessed by the present generation and forever; for wisdom and fortitude are his.
akkana jedhe: “Maqaan Waaqaa bara baraa hamma bara baraatti haa eebbifamu; ogummaanii fi humni kan isaa ti.
21 And he alters the times and the ages. He takes away kingdoms and he establishes them. He gives wisdom to those who are wise and teaching skills to those who understand.
Inni barootaa fi waqtiilee ni geeddara; mootota teessoo irra ni teessisa; irraa buusas. Inni ogeeyyiif ogummaa, beektotaafis hubannaa ni kenna.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things, and he knows what has been established in darkness. And the light is with him.
Inni waan gad fagoo fi waan dhokfame ni mulʼisa; waan dukkana keessa jiru ni beeka; ifnis isa wajjin jiraata.
23 To you, God of our fathers, I confess, and you, I praise. For you have given wisdom and fortitude to me, and now you have revealed to me what we asked of you, for you have uncovered for us the king’s thoughts.”
Yaa Waaqa abbootii ko, ani sin galateeffadha; sin jajadhas: Ati ogummaa fi humna naa kenniteerta; waan nu si kadhanne na beeksifteerta; ati abjuu mootichaa nu beeksifteerta.”
24 After this, Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke to him in this way, “Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will explain the solution to the king.”
Daaniʼelis Ariyook isa mootichi akka inni ogeeyyii Baabilon ajjeesuuf ajaje sana bira deemee, “Ati ogeeyyii Baabilon hin ajjeesin. Mooticha biratti na geessi; ani abjuu isaa nan hiikaaf” jedheen.
25 Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel to the king, and he said to him, “I have found a man of the sons of the transmigration of Judah, who would announce the solution to the king.”
Ariyookis Daaniʼelin mooticha bira geessee, “Ani boojiʼamtoota Yihuudaa keessaa nama hiikkaa abjuu mootichaa himuu dandaʼu tokko argeera” jedheen.
26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Do you really think that you can reveal to me the dream that I saw and its interpretation?”
Mootichis Daaniʼel isa Beelxishaazaar jedhame sanaan, “Ati abjuu ani argee fi hiikkaa isaa natti himuu dandeessaa?” jedhe.
27 And Daniel, facing the king, answered and said, “The secret that the king seeks, the wise men, the seers, and the soothsayers are unable to reveal to the king.
Daaniʼelis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Namni ogeessi kam iyyuu, mortuun, tolchituun yookaan ilaaltuun icciitii waan mootichi gaafate sanaa ibsuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru;
28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, who has revealed to you, king Nebuchadnezzar, what will happen in the latter times. Your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed, are such as these.
garuu Waaqni icciitii mulʼisuu tokko samii irra jira. Innis wantoota baroota dhufan keessa taʼan Nebukadnezar mootichatti argisiiseera. Abjuun keetii fi mulʼanni utuu ati siree kee irra ciiftuu yaada keetti dhufe kanaa dha:
29 You, O king, began to think, while in your blanket, about what will be hereafter. And he who reveals secrets showed you what will happen.
“Yaa mooticha utuu ati ciiftee jirtuu wanni gara fuula duraatti taʼuuf jiru yaada keetti dhufe; inni icciitii mulʼisus waan fuula duratti taʼu sitti argisiise.
30 To me, likewise, this mystery is revealed, not according to the wisdom that is in me more than in other living things, but so that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and so that you may know the thoughts of your mind.
Yaa mootii, akka kootti sababiin icciitiin kun natti mulʼateef ani namoota jiraatoo kaan caalaa ogummaa qabaadheef utuu hin taʼin, akka ati hiikkaa isaa beektee waan yaada kee keessa jiru hubattuuf.
31 You, O king, saw, and behold, something like a great statue. This statue, which was great and high, stood exalted above you, and you considered how terrible it was.
“Yaa mootii, ati ni ilaalte; fuula kee duras fakkii guddaa jechuunis fakkii akka malee guddaa, bifa calaqqisaa fi sodaachisaa tokkotu ture.
32 The head of this statue was of the finest gold, but the breast and the arms were of silver, and further on, the belly and the thighs were of brass;
Mataan fakkii sanaas warqee qulqulluu irraa, qomaa fi irreen isaa meetii irraa, garaa fi tafni isaa naasii irraa hojjetaman;
33 but the shins were of iron, a certain part of the feet were of iron and another part were of clay.
miilli isaa sibiila irraa, faanni isaa gartokko sibiila irraa, gartokko immoo suphee irraa hojjetame.
34 And so you looked until a stone was broken off without hands from a mountain, and it struck the statue on its feet, which were of iron and clay, and it shattered them.
Utuma ati ilaalaa jirtuu dhagaan tokko utuu harki namaa hin tuqin fottoqe. Innis miilla fakkii sanaa kan sibiilaa fi suphee irraa hojjetame dhaʼee caccabse.
35 Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold were crushed together and diminished like the ashes of a summer courtyard, and they were quickly taken away by the wind, and no place was found for them; but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Ergasii sibiilli, supheen, naasiin, meetii fi warqeen sun yeruma tokkotti caccabanii akkuma habaqii yeroo bonaa oobdii irra jiruu taʼan. Bubbeenis utuu waan tokko illee hin hambisin haree deeme. Dhagaan fakkii sana caccabse sun garuu tulluu guddaa taʼee lafa hunda guute.
36 This is the dream; we will also tell its interpretation before you, O king.
“Abjuun sun kana ture; nus mootichaaf ni hiikna.
37 You are a king among kings, and the God of heaven has given to you a kingdom, and fortitude, and power, and glory,
Yaa mootii, ati mootii moototaa ti. Waaqni samii mootummaa fi humna, jabinaa fi ulfina siif kenneera;
38 and all the places wherein the sons of men and the beasts of the field dwell. He has likewise given the flying creatures of the air into your hand, and he has placed all things under your realm. Therefore, you are the head of gold.
inni sanyii namaa, bineensota bosonaatii fi simbirroota samii dabarsee harka keetti siif kenneera. Lafa isaan jiraatani kamitti iyyuu hunda isaanii irratti bulchaa si godheera. Ati mataa warqee ti.
39 And after you, another kingdom will rise up, inferior to you, of silver, and another third kingdom of brass, which will rule over the whole world.
“Siʼiin duuba mootummaan mootummaa keetii gadii biraa tokko ni kaʼa. Itti aansee mootummaan Naasii sadaffaan kan tokko guutummaa lafaa ni bulcha.
40 And the fourth kingdom will be like iron. Just as iron shatters and conquers all things, so will it shatter and crush all these.
Dhuma irrattis mootummaan afuraffaan akkuma sibiilaa jabaa taʼe tokko ni kaʼa; sibiilli waan hunda caccabsee bulleessaatii; mootummaan kunis akkuma sibiilli waan hunda caccabsee balleessu sana mootummoota isa duraan turan hunda caccabsee ni bulleessa.
41 Furthermore, because you saw the feet and the toes to be part of potter’s clay and part of iron, the kingdom will be divided, but still, from the slip of iron it will take its origin, since you saw the iron mingled with the earthenware from clay.
Akkuma ati akka faannii fi qubni miilla isaa gartokko suphee, gartokko immoo sibiila taʼe argite sana mootummaan kun mootummaa gargar qoodame taʼa; taʼus inni akkuma sibiila gartokkeen isaa supheedhaan makame kan ati argite sanaa jabina sibiilaa of keessaa ni qabaata.
42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, part of the kingdom will be strong and part will be crushed.
Akkuma qubni miillaa sun gartokko sibiila, gartokko immoo suphee taʼe sana mootummaan kunis gartokko jabaa, gartokko immoo dadhabaa taʼa.
43 Yet, because you saw the iron mingled with pottery from the earth, they will indeed be combined together with the offspring of man, but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron cannot be mixed with earthenware.
Akkuma ati sibiila supheedhaan wal make argite sana uummanni kunis walmakaa taʼa; innis siʼachi sibiilaa fi supheen walitti makame sana caalaa tokko taʼee hin jiraatu.
44 But in the days of those kingdoms, the God of heaven will inspire a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and his kingdom will not be handed over to another people, and it will crush and will consume all these kingdoms, and this kingdom itself will stand in eternity.
“Bara mootota sanaa keessa, Waaqni samii mootummaa gonkumaa hin diigamne yookaan saba biraatiif hin kennamne hundeessa. Innis mootummoota duraa sana ni barbadeessa; hamma dhumaattis isaan balleessa; inni mataan isaa garuu bara baraan jabaatee ni dhaabata.
45 In accordance with what you saw, because the stone was torn away from the mountain without hands, and it crushed the earthenware, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God has shown the king what will happen after this. And the dream is true, and its interpretation is faithful.”
Hiikkaan mulʼata dhagaa utuu harka namaatiin hin taʼin ofuma isaatiin tulluu irraa fottoqee sibiila, naasii, suphee, meetii fi warqee caccabse sanaa kanaa dha. “Waaqni guddaan waan gara fuula duraatti taʼu mootichatti argisiiseera. Abjuun sun dhugaa dha; hiikkaan isaas amanamaa dha.”
46 Then king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and adored Daniel, and he commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.
Nebukadnezar mootichi addaan lafatti gombifamee Daaniʼeliif sagade; ulfinas kenneef; akka aarsaa fi ixaana isaaf dhiʼeessanis ajaje.
47 And so the king spoke with Daniel and said, “Truly, your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and also a revealer of secrets, since you could uncover this mystery.”
Mootichis Daaniʼeliin, “Ati dhoksaa kana mulʼisuu dandeesseertaatii dhugumaan Waaqni kee Waaqa waaqotaatii fi Gooftaa moototaa kan dhoksaa mulʼisuu dha” jedhe.
48 Then the king raised Daniel to a high rank and gave him many great gifts, and he appointed him as leader over all the provinces of Babylon and as chief of the magistrates over all the other wise men of Babylon.
Ergasii mootichi Daaniʼeliif taayitaa guddaa kennee, kennaa akka malee baayʼees itti dhangalaase. Bulchaa guutummaa kutaalee biyyaa Baabilon isa godhee namoota Baabilon hunda irratti isa muude.
49 However, Daniel required of the king that he appoint Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the works of the province of Babylon. But Daniel himself was at the king’s door.
Daaniʼel mooticha kadhannaan mootichi Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo bulchitoota biyya Baabilon godhee muude. Daaniʼel garuu mana mootichaa keessatti hafe.
