< Daniel 4 >
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell on all the earth, May your welfare increase.
Nebukadnezar Mooticha irraa, Sabootaa fi namoota afaan garaa garaa dubbatan kanneen guutummaa addunyaa irra jiraatan hundaaf: Nagaan isiniif haa baayʼatu!
2 The signs and wonders which the most high God hath wrought toward me I find it for good to make known.
Mallattoowwanii fi hojiiwwan dinqii kanneen Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii naaf godhe isinitti himuun na gammachiisa.
3 His signs—how great are they! and his wonders— how mighty are they! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his rule is over every generation.
Mallattoowwan isaa akkam gurguddaa dha;
4 Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
Ani Nebukadnezar natti tolee masaraa mootummaa koottis qananiidhaan mana koo nan jiraadhan ture.
5 I saw a dream which terrified me; and the thoughts upon my couch and the visions of my head troubled me.
Ani abjuu na sodaachise tokko nan arge. Utuu ani siree koo irra ciisee jiruu fakkii fi mulʼanni qalbii koo keessa darbu na sodaachise.
6 Therefore made I a decree to bring before me all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
Kanaafuu ani akka isaan abjuu sana naa hiikaniif akka ogeeyyiin Baabilon hundi fuula koo duratti dhiʼeeffaman nan ajaje.
7 Then came up the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and the dream did I recite before them; but its interpretation did they not make known unto me.
Yommuu tolchitoonni, mortoonni, warri urjii ilaalanii fi waa himtoonni dhufanitti abjuu sana isaanitti nan hime; isaan garuu naaf hiikuu hin dandeenye.
8 But at the last came up before me Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and the dream did I recite before him, [saying, ]
Dhuma irratti Daaniʼel fuula duratti dhiʼaate; anis abjuu sana isatti nan hime. Inni Beelxishaazaari jedhamee maqaa waaqa kootiin waamama; hafuurri waaqota qulqulluu isa keessa ture.
9 O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, of whom I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and that no secret is concealed from thee, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, with its interpretation.
Anis akkanan jedhe; “Yaa Beelxishaazaari, hangafa tolchitootaa, ani akka hafuurri waaqota qulqulluu si keessa jiru nan beeka; icciitiin kam iyyuu sitti hin ulfaatu. Abjuun ani arge kana; hiikkaa isaa natti himi.
10 And the visions of my head on my couch were, [that] I saw, and behold, there was a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.
Mulʼanni utuun siree koo irra ciisee jiruu arge isa kanaa dha: Ani nan ilaale; mukni tokko fuula koo dura walakkaa lafaa dhaabatee ture. Dheerinni isaas guddaa ture.
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached unto heaven, and it was visible to the end of all the earth.
Mukni sun akka malee guddatee jabaate; fiixeen isaas samii tuqe; hamma daarii lafaattis ni mulʼata ture.
12 Its foliage was splendid, and its fruit large, and on it was food for all: under it sought the beasts of the field for shade, and in its boughs dwelt the fowls of heaven, and from it was fed all flesh.
Baalli isaa bareedaa, iji isaa akka malee baayʼee ture; mukicha irras nyaata waan hundaaf taʼutu ture. Bineensonni gaaddisa isaa jala boqotu; simbirroon samiis dameellee isaa irra jiraatu; lubbuu qabeeyyiin hundinuus isa irraa nyaatu ture.
13 I saw in the visions of my head on my couch, and, behold, a watcher who was also a holy one came down from heaven.
“Ani mulʼata utuun siree koo irra ciisee jiruu arge sana keessatti nan ilaale; fuula koo duras ergamaa qulqulluu samiidhaa gad buʼaa jiru tokkotu ture.
14 He called with might, and thus he said, Hew down the trees and lop off its branches, strip off its leaves, and scatter its fruit; let the beasts flee away from under it, and the fowls from among its branches:
Innis sagalee guddaadhaan akkana jedhe: ‘Mukicha muraa; dameewwan isaa cicciraa; baala isaa harcaasaa; ija isaa bittinneessaa. Bineensonni isa jalaa, simbirroonnis dameewwan isaa irraa haa baqatani.
15 Nevertheless leave the body of its roots in the earth, but [bound] with fetters of iron and copper, among the grass of the field; and let it be made wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the beasts on the herbage of the earth;
Gufuu fi hiddi isaa garuu sibiilaa fi naasiidhaan hidhamee lafa keessa, marga dirree keessa haa turu. “‘Inni fixeensa samiitiin haa jiidhu; biqiltuu keessas bineensota wajjin haa jiraatu.
16 Let his heart be changed not to be human, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times elapse over him.
Qalbiin isaas qalbii namaa irraa geeddaramee qalbiin horii isaaf haa kennamu; kunis hamma waggaan torba darbutti haa taʼu.
17 Through the resolve of the watchers is this decree, and by the order of the holy ones is this decision: to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he can give it to whomsoever he pleaseth, and can set up over it the lowest of men.
“‘Akka namni lubbuun jiraatu hundinuu akka Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii mootummoota namootaa irratti bulchaa taʼee fi akka inni abbaa barbaadeef isaan kennee nama namoota hundaa gad taʼe isaanitti muudu beekaniif ergatamtoonni murtii labsanii qulqulloonni murtoo lallaban.’
18 This dream have I, king Nebuchadnezzar, seen; but thou, O Belteshazzar, relate its 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.
“Abjuun ani Nebukadnezar mootiin arge kanaa dha. Egaa yaa Beelxishaazaari waan namoota mootummaa kootii qaqqaroo keessaa tokko iyyuu naa hiikuu hin dandeenyeef abjuun sun maal akka taʼe natti himi. Ati garuu sababii hafuurri waaqota qulqulluu si keessa jiruuf ni dandeessa.”
19 Then was Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, astounded for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king then commenced, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or its interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, O that the dream might be for those that hate thee, and its interpretation for thy enemies.
Ergasii Daaniʼel inni Beelxishaazaari jedhamu sun yeroodhaaf akka malee jeeqamee yaadni isaas isa rifachiise. Kanaafuu mootichi, “Yaa Beelxishaazaar, abjuun kun yookaan hiikkaan isaa si hin rifachiisin” jedhe. Beelxishaazaaris akkana jedhee deebise; “Yaa gooftaa koo abjuun kun warra si jibbaniif, hiikkaan isaa immoo diinota keetiif haa taʼu!
20 The tree that thou hast seen, which grew, and was strong, the height of which reached unto the heaven, and which was visible to all the earth;
Mukni ati argite kan akka malee guddatee fi cimaan, kan fiixeen isaa samii tuqee hamma daarii lafaatti mulʼatu,
21 The foliage of which was splendid, and the fruit of which was large, and on which was food for all; under which dwelt the beasts of the field, and in the boughs of which nestled the fowls of the heaven: —
kan baalli isaa bareedu, kan ija baayʼee qabu, kan iji isaa waan hundaaf nyaata taʼu, kan bineensotaaf gaaddisa, kan damee isaa irratti simbirroonni samii mandhee ijaarratan,
22 It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong; and thy greatness is grown apace, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion is to the end of the earth.
yaa Mootii, mukni sun siʼi! Ati guddaa fi jabaa taateerta; guddinni kee hamma samii gaʼutti ol baʼee bulchiinsi kees hamma daarii lafaatti balʼata.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, who said, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the body of its roots in the earth, but [bound] in fetters of iron and copper, among the grass of the field; and let it be made wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times elapse over it: —
“Yaa Mootii, ati ergamaa qulqulluu tokko utuu inni, ‘Mukicha muraa balleessaa; gufuu fi hidda isaa garuu sibiilaa fi naasiidhaan hidhaatii lafa keessatti marga dirree irratti dhiisaa; inni fixeensa samiitiin haa jiidhu; akka bineensota bosonaatti haa jiraatu; waggaan torbas isa haa darbu’ jechaa samiidhaa buʼu argite.
24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the resolve of the Most High, which will come over my lord the king:
“Yaa Mootii hiikkaan isaa kana; labsiin Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii gooftaa koo irratti baases kana:
25 They will drive thee away from men, and with the beasts of the field is thy dwelling to be, and they will suffer thee to eat herbs like oxen, and they will suffer thee to be made wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will elapse over thee; until that thou wilt know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he pleaseth.
Ati saba keessaa ariʼamtee bineensota bosonaa wajjin jiraatta; akka loonii marga nyaatta; fixeensa samiitiinis ni jiita. Ati hamma akka Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii mootummoota namootaa irratti bulchaa taʼee fi akka inni mootummoota kanas abbaa barbaadeef kennuu dandaʼu beektutti waggaan torba si darba.
26 And whereas they ordered to leave the body of the roots of the tree: thy kingdom will remain unto thee, as soon as thou wilt know that the Heavens do rule.
Ajajni akka gufuun muka sanaa hidda isaa wajjin hafuuf kenname sunis akka mootummaan kee yeroo ati ol aantummaan kan samii taʼe beektutti siif deebifamu argisiisa.
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be agreeable unto thee, and atone for thy sins by righteousness, and for thy iniquities by showing kindness to the poor: perhaps thy prosperity may [thereby] endure long.
Kanaafuu yaa Mootii, gorsa koo fudhadhu: Waan qajeelaa hojjechuudhaan cubbuu kee of irraa haqi; hammina kees cunqurfamtootaaf garaa laafuudhaan of irraa balleessi; yoos barri jireenya keetii ni dheerataa.”
28 All this came over king Nebuchadnezzar.
Kun hundi Nebukadnezar Mooticha irra gaʼe.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking upon the royal palace at Babylon.
Jiʼa kudha lama booddee mootichi utuu gubbaa masaraa mootummaa Baabilon irra asii fi achi deddeebiʼaa jiruu,
30 The king commenced, and said, Is not this Babylon the great, that I myself have built for a royal residence by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?
“Kun Baabilon guddittii ani akka isheen mana jireenya mootii taatuuf ulfina maqaa kootiif jedhee humna koo jabaadhaan ijaare sanaa mitii?” jedhe.
31 The word was still in the king's mouth, when there fell a voice from heaven, [saying, ] To thee it is said, O king Nebuchadnezzar, The kingdom departeth from thee.
Utuu inni dubbii isaa afaanii hin fixatin sagaleen akkana jedhu tokko samiidhaa dhufe; “Yaa Nebukadnezar Mooticha, wanni sirratti labsame kana: Aangoon mootummaa keetii sirraa fudhatameera.
32 And from men will they drive thee away, and with the beasts of the field shall thy dwelling be; herbs like oxen will they suffer thee to eat, and seven times shall elapse over thee: until thou wilt know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he pleaseth.
Ati uummata keessaa ariʼamtee bineensota bosonaa wajjin jiraatta. Akka looniis marga nyaatta. Hamma ati akka Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii mootummoota namootaa irratti Gooftaa taʼee fi akka inni mootummoota sana abbaa fedheef kennu beektutti waggaan torba si darba.”
33 At the same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar; and from men was he driven away, and herbs like oxen had he to eat, and with the dew of heaven was his body made wet: till his hair was grown like eagles' [feathers], and his nails were like birds' [claws].—
Yommusuma wanni waaʼee Nebukadnezar dubbatame sun ni raawwatame. Innis uummata keessaa ariʼamee akka loonii marga nyaate. Inni hamma rifeensi isaa akka baallee risaa guddatee qeensi isaa akka qeensa allaattii fakkaatutti dhagni isaa fixeensa samiitiin jiidhe.
34 But at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes unto heaven, and my understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and glorified the Everliving, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and whose kingdom is over every generation;
Dhuma yeroon sanaatti, ani Nebukadnezar gara samii ol nan ilaale; qalbiin koos naa deebiʼe. Anis Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii nan galateeffadhe; isa bara baraan jiraatus nan jajadhe; ulfinas nan kenneef.
35 And [by whom] all the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nought; and [who] according to his pleasure doth with the host of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth; while there is none that can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
Uummanni lafaa hundi
36 At the same time my understanding returned unto me; and with the glory of my kingdom, my honor and my splendor returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought for me: and I was replaced in my kingdom, and additional greatness was added unto me.
Akkuma qalbiin koo naaf deebiʼeenis, ulfina mootummaa kootiitiif ulfinnii fi miidhaginni koo yommusuma naaf deebiʼan. Gorsitoonnii fi qondaaltonni koo na barbaadan; anis teessoo kootti deebifamee kan durii caalaas guddaa nan taʼe.
37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and glorify the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and whose ways are justice; and who is able to bring low those that walk in pride.
Sababii wanni inni hojjetu hundi dhugaa, karaan isaa hundinuus qajeelaa taʼeef ani Nebukadnezar, Mooticha samii sana nan jajadha; isa nan leellisa; ulfinas nan kennaaf. Inni warra of tuulan gad deebisuu dandaʼaatii.
