< Daniel 2 >
1 In the second year of [his] reign Nabuchodonosor dreamed a dream, and his spirit was amazed, and his sleep departed from him.
A shekara ta biyu ta mulkinsa, Nebukadnezzar ya yi mafarkai; hankalinsa ya tashi har ya kāsa barci.
2 And the king gave orders to call the enchanters, and the magicians, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they came and stood before the king.
Sai sarki ya sa aka tattara masa masu sihiri da masu dabo da bokaye da masanan taurari domin su faɗi abin da ya yi mafarki a kai. Da suka shigo suka tsaya a gaban sarki,
3 And the king said to them, I have dreamed, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
sai ya ce musu, “Na yi mafarkin da ya dame ni kuma ina so in san me yake nufi.”
4 And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, [saying], O king, live for ever: do you tell the dream to your servants, and we will declare the interpretation.
Sai masanan taurarin suka amsa wa sarki da Arameyanci “Ran sarki yă daɗe! Ka faɗa wa bayinka mafarkin, mu kuma sai mu fassara.”
5 The king answered the Chaldeans, The thing has departed from me: if you do not make known to me the dream and the interpretation, you shall be destroyed, and your houses shall be spoiled.
Sai sarki ya amsa wa masanan taurarin ya ce, “Na mance da abin, idan ba ku tuno mini mafarkin, duk da fassararsa ba, to, za a daddatse ku gunduwa-gunduwa, a mai da gidajenku juji.
6 But if you make known to me the dream, and the interpretation thereof, you shall receive of me gifts and presents and much honor: only tell me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
Amma in har kuka faɗa mini mafarkina kuka kuma bayyana fassararsa, za ku sami lada mai girma. Saboda haka ku faɗa mini mafarkin da kuma fassararsa.”
7 They answered the second time, and said, Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will declare the interpretation.
Sai suka sāke amsa masa suka ce, “Ran sarki yă daɗe, faɗa wa bayinka mafarkin, mu kuma za mu fassara shi.”
8 And the king answered and said, I verily know that you are trying to gain time, because you see that the thing has gone from me.
Sai sarki ya amsa ya ce, “Na gane cewa kuna ƙoƙari ku ɓata lokaci ne kawai domin ku ga na manta da abin.
9 If then you do not tell me the dream, I know that you have concerted to utter before me a false and corrupt tale, until the time shall have past: tell me my dream, and I shall know that you will also declare to me the interpretation thereof.
In ba ku faɗa mini mafarkin ba, akwai hukunci guda ɗaya kurum dominku. Kun haɗa baki domin ku faɗa mini munanan al’amura domin ku ruɗe ni har lokaci yă wuce. Sai ku faɗa mini mafarkin, ta haka kuwa zan sani za ku iya yi mini fassararsa.”
10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is no man upon the earth, who shall be able to make known the king's matter: forasmuch as no great king or ruler asks such a question of an enchanter, magician, or Chaldean.
Sai masanan taurarin suka amsa wa sarki suka ce, “Babu wani mutum a duniyan nan da zai iya yin abin da sarki yake nema! Babu wani sarki mai daraja da girma wanda ya taɓa yin irin wannan tambaya ga masu sihiri ko masu dabo ko masanan taurari.
11 For the question which the king asks is difficult, and there is no one else who shall answer it before the king, but the gods, whose dwelling is not with any flesh.
Abin da sarki yake nema yana da wuya matuƙa. Babu wani da zai iya bayyana wannan ga sarki sai dai alloli; kuma ba su zama tare da’yan adam.”
12 Then the king in rage and anger commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Wannan ya sa sarki ya fusata ƙwarai, ya ba da umarni a tafi da dukan masu hikima na Babilon a kashe su.
13 So the decree went forth, and they began to kill the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to kill [them].
Sai aka ba da dokar da za a kashe masu hikima, sa’an nan aka aika mutane su je su nemo Daniyel da abokansa domin a kashe su.
14 Then Daniel answered [with] counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the royal guard, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon; [saying],
Sa’ad da Ariyok, shugaban ƙungiyar matsaran sarki, ya fita domin yă kashe masu hikima na Babilon, sai Daniyel ya yi masa magana cikin hikima da dabara.
15 Chief magistrate of the king, therefore has the preemptory command proceeded from the king? So Arioch made known the matter to Daniel.
Ya tambayi mai tsaro na sarki, “Me ya sa sarki ya fitar da wannan doka haka da fushi?” Sai Ariyok ya yi wa Daniyel bayanin batun.
16 And Daniel entreated the king to give him time, and that he might [thus] declare to the king the interpretation of it.
Da jin haka sai Daniyel ya tafi wurin sarki ya nemi ƙarin lokaci, domin yă bayyana wa sarki mafarkin da kuma fassararsa.
17 So Daniel went into his house, and made known the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias, his friends.
Sa’an nan Daniyel ya komo gida ya kuma sanar wa abokansa Hananiya, Mishayel da Azariya, batun nan duka.
18 And they sought mercies from the God of heaven concerning this mystery; that Daniel and his friends might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Ya roƙe su su roƙi jinƙan Allah na sama domin wannan mafarki, saboda kada a kashe shi da abokansa tare da sauran masu hikima na Babilon.
19 Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night; and Daniel blessed the God of heaven, and said,
A wannan dare sai aka bayyana wa Daniyel mafarkin cikin wahayi. Daniyel kuwa ya ɗaukaka Allah na sama.
20 May the name of God be blessed from everlasting and to everlasting: for wisdom and understanding are his.
Ya ce, “Yabo ya tabbata ga sunan Allah har abada abadin; hikima da iko nasa ne.
21 And he changes times and seasons: he appoints kings, and removes [them], giving wisdom to the wise, and prudence to them that have understanding:
Yana sāke lokuta, yana tuɓe sarakuna yana kuma naɗa waɗansu. Yana ba da hikima ga masu hikima kuma ilimi ga masu basira.
22 he reveals deep and secret [matters]; knowing what is in darkness, and the light is with him.
Yakan bayyana zurfafa da ɓoyayyun abubuwa; ya san abin da yake cikin dare, haske kuwa yana zaune tare da shi.
23 I give thanks to you, and praise [you], O God of my fathers, for you has given me wisdom and power, and has made known to me the things which we asked of you; and you has made known to me the king's vision.
Na gode maka ina yabonka, Allah na kakannina. Kai ka san hikima da iko, ka sanar da ni abin da muka tambaye ka, ka kuma sanar da mu mafarkin sarki.”
24 And Daniel came to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon, but bring me in before the king, and I will declare the interpretation to the king.
Sai Daniyel ya tafi wurin Ariyok, wanda sarki ya sa yă kashe masu hikiman Babilon, ya kuma ce masa, “Kada ka kashe masu hikiman Babilon ka kai ni wurin sarki, ni kuma zan fassara masa mafarkinsa.”
25 Then Arioch in haste brought in Daniel before the king, and said to him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judea, who will declare the interpretation to the king.
Sai Ariyok ya kai Daniyel wurin sarki nan take ya ce masa, “Na gano wani mutum daga cikin kamammun kabilar Yahuda wanda zai faɗa wa sarki abin da mafarkin yake nufi.”
26 And the king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltasar, Canst you declare to me the dream which I saw, and the interpretation thereof?
Sarki ya tambayi Daniyel (wanda ake kira Belteshazar), za ka iya faɗa mini mafarkin da na yi ka kuma fassara shi?
27 And Daniel answered before the king, and said, The mystery which the king asks [the explanation of] is not [in the power] of the wise men, magicians, enchanters, [or] soothsayers to declare to the king.
Daniyel ya amsa, “Babu wani mai hikima, ko mai sihiri, ko mai dabo ko mai duban da zai iya warware wa sarki wannan matsala da ta dame shi,
28 But there is a God in heaven revealing mysteries, and he has made known to king Nabuchodonosor what things must come to pass in the last days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, are as follows,
amma akwai Allahn da yake a sama wanda yake bayyana asirai, ya nuna wa sarki Nebukadnezzar abin da zai faru a kwanaki masu zuwa. Mafarkinka da wahayin da ya wuce cikin tunaninka a sa’ad da kake kwance a gadonka su ne,
29 O king: your thoughts upon your bed arose [as to] what must come to pass hereafter: and he that reveals mysteries has made known to you what must come to pass.
“A sa’ad da kake kwance, ya sarki, tunaninka ya ga al’amuran da suke zuwa, kuma shi mai bayyana al’amuran ya bayyana maka asiran abubuwan da za su faru.
30 Moreover, this mystery has not been revealed to me by reason of wisdom which is in me beyond all [others] living, but for the sake of making known the interpretation to the king, that you might know the thoughts of your heart.
Amma ba a bayyana mini wannan asiri saboda ina da wata hikima fiye da sauran mutane ba, sai dai domin a sanar wa sarki da fassarar, ka kuma san tunanin da ya shiga zuciyarka.
31 You, O king, saw, and behold an image: that image was great, and the appearance of it excellent, standing before your face; and the form of it was terrible.
“Ya sarki, ka ga wata babbar siffa, mai girma, siffa ce mai haske, abar bantsoro tana tsaye a gabanka.
32 [It was] an image, the head of which was of fine gold, its hands and breast and arms of silver, [its] belly and thighs of brass,
An yi kan wannan siffa da zinariya zalla, ƙirjinta da kuma hannuwanta an yi su da azurfa, cikinta da kuma cinyarta da tagulla ne.
33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of iron and part of earthenware.
An yi ƙafafun da ƙarfe, tafin ƙafafunta kuma an yi rabi da ƙarfe rabi kuma da yumɓu.
34 You saw until a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it struck the image upon its feet of iron and earthenware, and utterly reduced them to powder.
A lokacin da kake dubawa, sai aka yanko wani dutse, amma ba da hannun mutum ba. Ya fāɗa a kan ƙafafun siffar na ƙarfen da aka haɗa da yumɓu aka kuma ragargaje su.
35 Then once for all the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold, were ground to powder, and became as chaff from the summer threshing floor; and the violence of the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them: and the stone which had struck the image became a great mountain, and filled all the earth.
Sai ƙarfen da yambun da tagulla da azurfan da kuma zinariyan suka ragargaje a lokaci ɗaya ya zama kamar ƙaiƙayi a masussuka a lokacin kaka. Sai iska ta kwashe su ta tafi, har ba a iya ganin ko alamarsu. Amma dutsen da ya fāɗo a siffar ya girke ya zama tsauni ya kuma cika dukan duniya.
36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
“Wannan shi ne mafarkin, yanzu kuma za mu fassara ta wa sarki.
37 You, O king, are a king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given a powerful and strong and honorable kingdom,
Ya, sarki, kai ne sarkin sarakuna. Allah na sama ya ba ka iko da girma da suna;
38 in every place where the children of men dwell: and he has given into your hand the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, and he has made you lord of all.
a cikin hannunka ya sanya ɗan adam, da namun jeji da tsuntsayen sama. A duk inda suke zaune, ya maishe ka ka yi mulki a bisansu kai ne kan zinariyan nan na siffar.
39 You are the head of gold. And after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, an a third kingdom which is the brass, which shall have dominion over all the earth;
“A bayanka, za a yi wani mulki, wanda bai kai naka ba. A gaba kuma, za a yi mulki na uku wanda yake na tagulla, zai yi mulkin dukan duniya.
40 and a fourth kingdom, which shall be strong as iron: as iron beats to powder and subdues all things, so shall it beat to powder and subdue.
A ƙarshe, za a yi mulki na huɗu, mai ƙarfi kamar ƙarfe, Da yake baƙin ƙarfe yakan kakkarya, ya ragargaje abubuwa, haka nan wannan mulki zai ragargaje sauran mulkoki
41 And whereas you saw the feet and the toes, part of earthenware and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet there shall be in it of the strength of iron, as you saw the iron mixed with earthenware.
Ka kuma ga an yi ƙafafun da yatsotsin da baƙin ƙarfe gauraye da yumɓu, wato, mulkin zai rabu, amma zai kasance da ƙarfi kamar na baƙin ƙarfe da yake gauraye da yumɓu.
42 And [whereas] the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of earthenware, part of the kingdom shall be strong, and [part] of it shall be broken.
Kamar yadda yatsotsin rabi na ƙarfe rabi kuma na yumɓu ne, haka wannan mulki zai zama rabi mai ƙarfi rabi kuma marar ƙarfi.
43 Whereas you saw the iron mixed with earthenware, they shall be mingled with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave together, as the iron does not mix itself with earthenware.
Kamar dai yadda ka ga ƙarfen ya gauraye da yumɓu, haka mutanen za su zama a gauraye amma ba za su haɗu da juna ba, kamar yadda baƙin ƙarfe da yumɓu ba su haɗuwa.
44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and his kingdom shall not be left to another people, [but] it shall beat to pieces and grind to powder all [other] kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
“A lokacin mulkin waɗannan sarakunan, Allah na sama zai kafa mulki da ba zai taɓa rushewa ba, ba kuma za a ba ma waɗansu mutane ba. Zai ragargaje waɗannan mulkokin da kuma kawo su ga ƙarshe, amma shi wannan mulki zai dawwama har abada.
45 Whereas you saw that a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it beat to pieces the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold; the great God has made known to the king what must happen hereafter: and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Wannan shi ne ma’anar wannan wahayin da ka gani na dutsen da aka yanko daga jikin tsaunin, amma ba da hannun ɗan adam ba, dutsen da ya ragargaza ƙarfen, da tagullar, da yumɓun da azurfar da kuma zinariyar. “Allah mai girma ya nuna wa sarki abin da zai faru nan gaba. Mafarkin gaskiya ne, fassararsa kuma abin dogara ne.”
46 Then king Nabuchodonosor fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and gave orders to offer to him gifts and incense.
Sai sarki Nebukadnezzar ya fāɗi da fuskarsa har ƙasa a gaban Daniyel domin ya girmama shi ya kuma umarta a miƙa hadaya da kuma hadayar ƙonawa ta turare ga Daniyel.
47 And the king answered and said to Daniel, Of a truth your God is a God of gods, and Lord of kings, who reveals mysteries; for you has been able to reveal this mystery.
Sarki ya kuma ce wa Daniyel, “Tabbatacce Allahnka shi ne Allahn alloli da kuma Sarkin sarakuna da mai bayyana asirai, gama ka iya bayyana wannan asiri.”
48 And the king promoted Daniel, and gave him great and abundant gifts, and set him over the whole province of Babylon, and [made him] chief satrap over all the wise men of Babylon.
Sai sarki ya ɗora Daniyel a babban matsayi ya kuma sanya shi mai mulki a kan dukan yankin ƙasar Babilon; ya kuma ɗora shi yă zama mai kula da duk masu hikima.
49 And Daniel asked of the king, and he appointed Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the king's palace.
Bugu da ƙari, bisa ga bukatar Daniyel sai sarki yă naɗa Shadrak da Meshak da Abednego su zama masu kula da harkokin lardin Babilon, amma Daniyel kuma ya tsaya a fadar sarki.
