Daniel 2
1 In the second year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, Nabuchodonosor had a dream, and his spirit was terrified, and his dream went out of his mind.
Nebukadnezar bara mootummaa isaa keessa, waggaa lammaffaatti abjuu abjoote; hafuurri isaa jeeqamee hirribas rafuu dadhabe.
2 Then the king commanded to call together the diviners and the wise men, and the magicians, and the Chaldeans: to declare to the king his dreams: so they came and stood before 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 troubled in mind I know not 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 for ever: tell to thy servants thy dream, and we will declare the interpretation thereof.
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 the king answering said to the Chaldeans: The thing is gone out of my mind: unless you tell me the dream, and the meaning thereof, you shall be put to death, and your houses shall 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 tell the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall receive of me rewards, and gifts, and great honour: therefore tell me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
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 his servants the dream, and we will declare the interpretation of it.
Isaan amma illee deebisanii, “Mootichi abjuu isaa tajaajiltoota isaatti haa himu; nu ni hiiknaaf” jedhan.
8 The king answered, and said: I know for certain that you seek to gain time, since you know that the thing is gone 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 If therefore you tell me not the dream, there is one sentence concerning you, that you have also framed a lying interpretation, and full of deceit, to speak before me till the time pass away. Tell me therefore the dream, that I may know that you also give a true interpretation thereof.
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 Chaldeains answered before the king, and said: There is no man upon earth, that can accomplish thy word, O king, neither doth any king, though great and mighty, ask such a thing of any diviner, or wise man, or 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 thing that thou askest, O king, is difficult; nor can any one be found that can shew it before 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 Upon hearing this, the king in fury, and in great wrath, commanded that all the wise men of Babylon should be put to death.
Wanni kunis mooticha akka malee aarse; isa dallansiisees akka inni ogeeyyii Baabilon hundatti murtii duʼaa muru godhe.
13 And the decree being gone forth, the wise men were slain: and Daniel and his companions were sought for, to be put to death.
Kanaafuu akka namoonni ogeeyyiin hundi ajjeefaman labsiin baʼe; namoonnis akka Daaniʼelii fi michoota isaa barbaadanii ajjeesaniif ergaman.
14 Then Daniel inquired concerning the law and the sentence, of Arioch the general of the king’s army, who was gone forth to kill 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 that had received the orders of the king, why so cruel a sentence was gone forth from the face of the king. And when Arioch had told 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 desired of the king, that he would give him time to resolve the question and declare it 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 told the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias his companions:
Ergasii Daaniʼel gara mana isaatti deebiʼee waan sana michoota isaa Hanaaniyaatti, Miisaaʼelii fi Azariyaatti hime.
18 To the end that they should ask mercy at the face of the God of heaven concerning this secret, and that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the 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 was the mystery 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 he said: Blessed be the name of the Lord from eternity and for evermore: 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 changeth times and ages: taketh away kingdoms and establisheth them, giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding.
Inni barootaa fi waqtiilee ni geeddara; mootota teessoo irra ni teessisa; irraa buusas. Inni ogeeyyiif ogummaa, beektotaafis hubannaa ni kenna.
22 He revealeth deep and hidden things, and knoweth what is in darkness: and 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 thee, O God of our fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee: because thou hast given me wisdom and strength: and now thou hast shewn me what we desired of thee, for thou hast made known to us, the king’s discourse.
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, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will tell 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 in haste brought in Daniel to the king, and said to him: I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Juda, that will resolve the question 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 Baltassar: Thinkest thou indeed that thou canst tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation thereof?
Mootichis Daaniʼel isa Beelxishaazaar jedhame sanaan, “Ati abjuu ani argee fi hiikkaa isaa natti himuu dandeessaa?” jedhe.
27 And Daniel made answer before the king, and said: The secret that the king desireth to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, or the diviners, or the soothsayers can declare 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 that revealeth mysteries, who hath shewn to thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, what is to come to pass in the latter times. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are 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 Thou, O king, didst begin to think in thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth mysteries shewed thee what shall come to pass.
“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 also this secret is revealed, not by any wisdom that I have more than all men alive: but that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and thou mightest know the thoughts of thy 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 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold there was as it were a great statue: this statue, which was great and high, tall of stature, stood before thee, and the look thereof was terrible.
“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 fine gold, but the breast and the arms of silver, and the belly and the thighs of brass:
Mataan fakkii sanaas warqee qulqulluu irraa, qomaa fi irreen isaa meetii irraa, garaa fi tafni isaa naasii irraa hojjetaman;
33 And the legs of iron, the feet part of iron and part of clay.
miilli isaa sibiila irraa, faanni isaa gartokko sibiila irraa, gartokko immoo suphee irraa hojjetame.
34 Thus thou sawest, till a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands: and it struck the statue upon the feet thereof that were of iron and of clay, and broke them in pieces.
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 was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of a summer’s thrashingfloor, and they were carried away by the wind: and there was no place 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 the interpretation thereof before thee, O king.
“Abjuun sun kana ture; nus mootichaaf ni hiikna.
37 Thou art a king of kings: and the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, and strength, and power, and glory:
Yaa mootii, ati mootii moototaa ti. Waaqni samii mootummaa fi humna, jabinaa fi ulfina siif kenneera;
38 And all places wherein the children of men, and the beasts of the field do dwell: he hath also given the birds of the air into thy hand, and hath put all things under thy power: thou therefore art 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 thee shall rise up another kingdom, inferior to thee, of silver: and another third kingdom of brass, which shall rule over all the 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 shall be as iron. As iron breaketh into pieces, and subdueth all things, so shall that break and destroy 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 Arid whereas thou sawest the feet, and the toes, part of potter’s clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be divided, but yet it shall take its origin from the iron, according as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry 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 part of iron, and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
Akkuma qubni miillaa sun gartokko sibiila, gartokko immoo suphee taʼe sana mootummaan kunis gartokko jabaa, gartokko immoo dadhabaa taʼa.
43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall be mingled indeed together with the seed of man, but they shall not stick fast one to another, as iron cannot be mixed with clay.
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 set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people, and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms, and itself shall stand for ever.
“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 According as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces, the clay, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof 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 Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and 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 the king spoke to Daniel, and said: Verily your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and a revealer of hidden things: seeing thou couldst discover this secret.
Mootichis Daaniʼeliin, “Ati dhoksaa kana mulʼisuu dandeesseertaatii dhugumaan Waaqni kee Waaqa waaqotaatii fi Gooftaa moototaa kan dhoksaa mulʼisuu dha” jedhe.
48 Then the king advanced Daniel to a high station, and gave him many and great gifts: and he made him governor over all the provinces of Babylon, and chief of the magistrates over all the 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 And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago over the works of the province of Babylon: but Daniel himself was in the king’s palace.
Daaniʼel mooticha kadhannaan mootichi Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo bulchitoota biyya Baabilon godhee muude. Daaniʼel garuu mana mootichaa keessatti hafe.
