Daniel 4
1 “Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be great!
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 The signs and wonders that God Most High has done with me, it is good before me to show.
Ó jẹ́ ìdùnnú fún mi láti fi iṣẹ́ àmì àti ìyanu tí Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-Ògo ti ṣe fún mi hàn.
3 How great His signs! And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom [is] a continuous kingdom, and His rule [is] with generation and generation.
Báwo ni àmì rẹ̀ ti tóbi tó,
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, have been at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
Èmi Nebukadnessari wà ní ààfin mi, pẹ̀lú ìtẹ́lọ́rùn àti àlàáfíà.
5 a dream I have seen, and it makes me afraid, and the conceptions on my bed, and the visions of my head, trouble 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 by me a decree is made, to cause all the wise men of Babylon to come up before me, that the interpretation of the dream they may cause me to know.
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 coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me.
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 And at last Daniel has come up before me, whose name [is] Belteshazzar—according to the name of my god—and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I have told:
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, as I have known that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in you, and no secret presses you, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation, tell.
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 As for the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height [is] 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 has become great, indeed, strong, and its height reaches to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the whole land;
Igi náà tóbi, ó sì lágbára, orí rẹ̀ sì ń kan ọ̀run; a sì rí i títí dé òpin ayé.
12 its leaves [are] beautiful, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it: under it the beast of the field takes shade, and in its boughs dwell the birds of the heavens, and of it are all flesh fed.
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 was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down.
“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 is calling mightily, and thus has said, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and the birds from off 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 but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts [is] his portion in the herb 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 his heart from man’s is changed, and the heart of a beast is given to him, and 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 by the decree of the sifters [is] the sentence, and by the saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it, and the lowest of men He raises up over it.
“‘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 have seen, I King Nebuchadnezzar; and you, O Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and you [are] able, for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in you.”
“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, has been astonished about one hour, and his thoughts trouble him; the king has answered and said, “O Belteshazzar, do not let the dream and its interpretation trouble you.” Belteshazzar has answered and said, “My lord, the dream—to those hating you, and its interpretation—to your 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 you have seen, that has become great and strong, and its height reaches to the heavens, and its vision to all the land,
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 and its leaves [are] beautiful, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it, under it the beast of the field dwells, and on its boughs the birds of the heavens sit.
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] you, O king, for you have become great and mighty, and your greatness has become great, and has reached to the heavens, and your 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 that which the king has seen—a sifter, even a holy one, coming down from the heavens, and he has said, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens it is wet, and with the beast of the field [is] his portion, until 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 that has come against my lord the king:
“Èyí ni ìtumọ̀ àlá rẹ ọba àti àṣẹ tí Ọ̀gá-ògo mú wá sórí ọba olúwa mi.
25 and they are driving you away from men, and your dwelling is with the beast of the field, and they cause you to eat the herb as oxen, and they are wetting you by the dew of the heavens, and pass over you seven times, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it.
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 that which they said—to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom abides for you, after that you know that the heavens are ruling.
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 to you, and your sins by righteousness break off, and your perversity by pitying the poor, behold, it is a lengthening of your ease.”
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—has come on Nebuchadnezzar the king.
Gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ṣẹlẹ̀ sí Nebukadnessari ọba.
29 At the end of twelve months, on the palace of the kingdom of Babylon he has been walking;
Lẹ́yìn oṣù kejìlá, bí ọba ṣe ń rìn káàkiri lórí òrùlé ààfin ìjọba Babeli,
30 the king has answered and said, “Is this not that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of my honor?”
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 is [in] the king’s mouth a voice from the heavens has fallen: “They are saying to you: O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom has passed from you,
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 from men they are driving you away, and your dwelling [is] with the beast of the field, they cause you to eat the herb as oxen, and pass over you seven times, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it.”
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 In that hour the thing has been fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar, and from men he is driven, and he eats the herb as oxen, and his body is wet by the dew of the heavens, until his hair has become great as eagles, and his nails as birds.
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, have lifted up my eyes to the heavens, and my understanding returns to me, and I have blessed the Most High, and the Perpetual Living One I have praised and honored, whose dominion [is] a continuous dominion, and His kingdom with generation and 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 who are dwelling on the earth are reckoned as nothing, and according to His will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that claps with his hand and says to Him, What have You done?
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ayé
36 At that time my understanding returns to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and my brightness return to me, and to me my counselors and my great men seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant greatness has been added to 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, am praising and exalting and honoring the King of the heavens, for all His works [are] truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.”
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.
