Daniel 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
Nebukadnessari ọba, sí gbogbo ènìyàn, orílẹ̀ àti onírúurú èdè, tí ó ń gbé ní àgbáyé. Kí àlàáfíà máa pọ̀ sí i fún un yín. Kí ẹ ṣe rere tó pọ̀!
2 It hath seemed good unto me to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me.
Ó jẹ́ ìdùnnú fún mi láti fi iṣẹ́ àmì àti ìyanu tí Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-Ògo ti ṣe fún mi hàn.
3 How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
Báwo ni àmì rẹ̀ ti tóbi tó,
4 I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
Èmi Nebukadnessari wà ní ààfin mi, pẹ̀lú ìtẹ́lọ́rùn àti àlàáfíà.
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
Mo lá àlá kan èyí tí ó bà mí lẹ́rù. Nígbà tí mo wà lórí ibùsùn mi, ìran tí ó jáde lọ́kàn mi dẹ́rùbà mí.
6 And I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
Nígbà náà, ni mo pàṣẹ pé kí a mú gbogbo àwọn amòye Babeli wá, kí wọn wá sọ ìtumọ̀ àlá náà fún mi.
7 Then came in the scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation of it.
Nígbà tí àwọn apidán, àwọn apògèdè, àwọn awòràwọ̀ àti àwọn aláfọ̀ṣẹ wá, mo sọ àlá náà fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò le è sọ ìtumọ̀ àlá náà fún mi.
8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and before him I told the dream:
Ní ìkẹyìn Daniẹli wá síwájú mi, mo sì sọ àlá náà fún. (Ẹni tí à ń pè ní Belṣassari gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ òrìṣà mi àti pé ẹ̀mí àwọn ọlọ́run mímọ́ wà nínú rẹ̀.)
9 O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret is too hard for thee, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it.
Mo wí pé, “Belṣassari, olórí àwọn amòye, èmi mọ̀ wí pé ẹ̀mí ọlọ́run mímọ́ wà nínú rẹ, kò sì ṣí àṣírí kan tí ó ṣòro jù fún ọ. Sọ àlá mi kí o sì túmọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi.
10 Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.
Èyí ni ìran náà tí mo rí nígbà tí mo wà lórí ibùsùn mi, mo rí igi kan láàrín ayé, igi náà ga gidigidi.
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached unto the heavens, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.
Igi náà tóbi, ó sì lágbára, orí rẹ̀ sì ń kan ọ̀run; a sì rí i títí dé òpin ayé.
12 Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
Ewé rẹ̀ lẹ́wà, èso rẹ̀ sì pọ̀, ó sì ń pèsè oúnjẹ fún gbogbo ènìyàn. Abẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ ni àwọn ẹranko igbó fi ṣe ibùgbé, àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run sì ń gbé ní ẹ̀ka rẹ̀, nínú rẹ̀ ni gbogbo alààyè ti ń jẹ.
13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from the heavens;
“Lórí ibùsùn mi, mo rí ìran náà, olùṣọ́ kan dúró síwájú u mi, àní ẹni mímọ́ kan, ó ń bọ̀ wá láti ọ̀run
14 he cried aloud, and said thus: Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit; let the beasts get away from under it, and the birds from its branches.
ó kígbe sókè wí pé, ‘Gé igi náà kí o sì gé àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ kúrò; gbọn ewé rẹ̀ ká, kí o sì fọ́n èso rẹ̀ dànù. Jẹ́ kí àwọn ẹranko tí ó wà lábẹ́ rẹ̀ sá àti àwọn ẹyẹ tí ó wà ní ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ kúrò.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be bathed with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.
Ṣùgbọ́n fi kùkùté àti gbòǹgbò rẹ̀ tí a fi irin àti idẹ dè ṣẹ́kù sórí ilẹ̀ àti sí orí koríko igbó. “‘Jẹ́ kí ìrì ọ̀run sẹ̀ sí i lára, kí ó sì jẹ́ kí ìpín in rẹ̀ wà pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹranko igbó láàrín ilẹ̀ ayé.
16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
Jẹ́ kí ọkàn rẹ̀ kí ó yí padà kúrò ní ti ènìyàn, kí a sì fún un ní ọkàn ẹranko, títí ìgbà méje yóò fi kọjá lórí i rẹ̀.
17 This sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision by the word of the holy ones: that the living may know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
“‘Olùṣọ́ ni ó gbé ìpinnu náà jáde, àṣẹ sì wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni mímọ́, kí gbogbo alààyè le mọ̀ wí pé, Ọ̀gá-ògo ni olórí ìjọba ènìyàn, ó sì ń fi fún ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó wù ú, òun sì ń gbé onírẹ̀lẹ̀ lórí i wọn.’
18 This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and thou, Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
“Èyí ni àlá tí èmi Nebukadnessari ọba lá. Ní ìsinsin yìí ìwọ Belṣassari, sọ ohun tí ó túmọ̀ sí fún mi, nítorí kò sí amòye kan ní ìjọba mi, tí ó lè sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi. Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ lè sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀, nítorí tí ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run mímọ́ wà ní inú rẹ.”
19 Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, nor its interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and its interpretation to thine enemies!
Nígbà náà ni Daniẹli (ẹni tí à ń pè ní Belṣassari) páyà gidigidi fún ìgbà díẹ̀, èrò inú rẹ̀ sì bà á lẹ́rù. Nígbà náà ni ọba wí pé, “Belṣassari, má ṣe jẹ́ kí àlá náà tàbí ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ kí ó dẹ́rùbà ọ́.” Belṣassari sì dáhùn wí pé, “Olúwa mi, kí àlá yìí jẹ́ ti àwọn ọ̀tá a rẹ, kí ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ti àwọn aṣòdì sí.
20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew and was strong, whose height reached unto the heavens, and the sight of it to all the earth;
Igi tí ìwọ rí, tí ó dàgbà, tí ó sì lágbára, tí orí rẹ̀ sì ń kan ọ̀run, tí ó lẹ́wà àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ èso, tí ó ń pèsè oúnjẹ fún gbogbo ènìyàn, tí ó ṣe ààbò lórí ẹranko igbó àti èyí tí ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ pèsè ààyè fún ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run.
21 whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and in whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation:
Èyí tí ewé e rẹ̀ lẹ́wà, tí èso rẹ̀ si pọ̀, nínú èyí tí oúnjẹ sì wà fún gbogbo ẹ̀dá, lábẹ́ èyí tí àwọn ẹranko igbó ń gbé, lórí ẹ̀ka èyí ti àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run ní ibùgbé wọn.
22 it is thou, O king, who art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
Ìwọ ọba ni igi náà, ìwọ ti dàgbà, o sì lágbára, títóbi i rẹ ga ó sì kan ọ̀run, ìjọba rẹ sì gbilẹ̀ títí dé òpin ayé.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the heavens, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be bathed with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him:
“Ìwọ ọba, rí ìránṣẹ́ ẹni mímọ́ kan, tí ó ń bọ̀ láti ọ̀run ó sì sọ pé, ‘Gé igi náà kí o sì run ún, ṣùgbọ́n fi kùkùté rẹ tí a dè pẹ̀lú irin àti idẹ sílẹ̀ nínú koríko igbó, nígbà tí gbòǹgbò rẹ̀ sì wà nínú ilẹ̀ kí o sì jẹ́ kí ìrì ọ̀run sẹ̀ sórí i rẹ̀, jẹ́ kí ìpín in rẹ̀ wà láàrín ẹranko búburú títí ìgbà méje yóò fi kọjá lórí i rẹ̀.’
24 this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which cometh upon my lord the king:
“Èyí ni ìtumọ̀ àlá rẹ ọba àti àṣẹ tí Ọ̀gá-ògo mú wá sórí ọba olúwa mi.
25 They shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and thou shalt be bathed with the dew of heaven; and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
A ó lé ọ jáde kúrò láàrín ènìyàn, ìwọ yóò sì máa gbé láàrín ẹranko búburú, ìwọ yóò jẹ koríko bí i màlúù, ìrì ọ̀run yóò sì sẹ̀ sára rẹ. Ìgbà méje yóò sì kọjá lórí rẹ, títí ìwọ yóò fi mọ̀ wí pé Ọ̀gá-ògo ń jẹ ọba lórí ìjọba ènìyàn, ó sì ń fi fún ẹni tí ó bá wù ú.
26 And whereas it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom shall remain unto thee, after that thou shalt know that the heavens do rule.
Bí wọ́n ṣe pàṣẹ pé kí wọn fi kùkùté àti gbòǹgbò igi náà sílẹ̀, èyí túmọ̀ sí wí pé a ó dá ìjọba rẹ padà fún ọ lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí o bá ti mọ̀ wí pé, Ọ̀run jẹ ọba.
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
Nítorí náà ọba, jẹ́ kí ìmọ̀ràn mi jẹ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà fún ọ, kọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ sílẹ̀ kí o sì ṣe rere, àti ìwà búburú rẹ nípa ṣíṣe àánú fún àwọn tálákà. Ó lè jẹ́ pé nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò ṣe rere.”
28 All this came upon king Nebuchadnezzar.
Gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ṣẹlẹ̀ sí Nebukadnessari ọba.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking upon the royal palace of Babylon:
Lẹ́yìn oṣù kejìlá, bí ọba ṣe ń rìn káàkiri lórí òrùlé ààfin ìjọba Babeli,
30 the king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?
ó sọ pé, “Èyí ha kọ́ ni Babeli ńlá tí mo kọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilé ọba, nípa agbára à mi àti fún ògo ọláńlá à mi?”
31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the heavens: King Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee;
Bí ọba ṣe ń sọ ọ̀rọ̀ náà lọ́wọ́ ohùn kan wá láti ọ̀run, “Ìwọ Nebukadnessari ọba, ìwọ ni a ti pàṣẹ nípa rẹ̀, a ti gba ìjọba à rẹ kúrò ní ọwọ́ ọ̀ rẹ.
32 and they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
A ó lé ọ kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn, ìwọ yóò sì lọ máa gbé àárín àwọn ẹranko igbó; ìwọ yóò jẹ koríko bí i màlúù, ìgbà méje yóò kọjá lórí i rẹ títí ìwọ yóò fi mọ̀ wí pé, Ọ̀gá-ògo jẹ ọba lórí ìjọba ènìyàn àti pé ó ń fi fún ẹni tí ó bá wù ú.”
33 The same hour was the word fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar; and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen; and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, till his hair grew like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like birds' [claws].
Lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀ ni ohun tí a sọ nípa Nebukadnessari ṣẹlẹ̀ sí i. A lé e kúrò láàrín ènìyàn, ó sì ń jẹ koríko bí i màlúù, ìrì ọ̀run sì ń sẹ̀ sí ara rẹ̀, títí irun orí rẹ̀ fi gùn bí i ti ìyẹ́ ẹyẹ idì, tí èékánná rẹ̀ sì dàbí i ti ẹyẹ.
34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto the heavens, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation.
Ní òpin ìgbà náà, èmi, Nebukadnessari gbé ojú mi sókè sí ọ̀run, iyè mi sì sọjí. Mo fi ọpẹ́ fún Ọ̀gá-ògo; mo fi ọlá àti ògo fún ẹni tí ó wà láéláé.
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of the heavens, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ayé
36 At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my nobles sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me.
Ní àkókò kan náà, iyè mi padà, ọlá àti ògo dídán mi padà tọ̀ mí wá fún ògo ìjọba mi. Àwọn ìgbìmọ̀ àti àwọn ọlọ́lá mi, wá mi rí, wọ́n sì dá mi padà sórí ìjọba mi, mo sì di alágbára ju ti ìṣáájú lọ.
37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of the heavens, all whose works are truth, and his paths judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Báyìí, èmi, Nebukadnessari fi ọpẹ́, mo sì gbé Ọlọ́run ga, mo sì fi ògo fún ọba ọ̀run, nítorí pé gbogbo nǹkan tí ó ṣe ló dára, gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀ sì tọ́. Gbogbo àwọn tó sì ń rìn ní ìgbéraga ni ó le rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
