< Daniel 4 >
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.
Nebukadnezar Mooticha irraa, Sabootaa fi namoota afaan garaa garaa dubbatan kanneen guutummaa addunyaa irra jiraatan hundaaf: Nagaan isiniif haa baayʼatu!
2 I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought towards me.
Mallattoowwanii fi hojiiwwan dinqii kanneen Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii naaf godhe isinitti himuun na gammachiisa.
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.
Mallattoowwan isaa akkam gurguddaa dha;
4 I 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 made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed 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 I made a decree to bring in all the wise [men] of Babylon before me, that they might make known to 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 in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the sooth-sayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me the interpretation of it.
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 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, [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, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation of it.
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 Thus [were] the visions of my head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its hight [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 hight reached to heaven, and the sight of it 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 leaves [were] fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it [was] food for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the fowls of heaven dwelt among its boughs, and all flesh was fed from it.
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 upon my bed, and behold, a watcher and 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 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 escape from under it, and the fowls from 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 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 wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] its portion [be] with the beasts in the grass 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 from man's, and let a beast's heart be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.
Qalbiin isaas qalbii namaa irraa geeddaramee qalbiin horii isaaf haa kennamu; kunis hamma waggaan torba darbutti haa taʼu.
17 This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest 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 I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation of it, forasmuch as all the wise [men] of my kingdom are not able to make known to 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 Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, was astonished for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation of it, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered, and said, My lord, the dream [be] to them that hate thee, and the interpretation of it to 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 sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose hight reached to the heaven, and the sight of it to all the earth;
Mukni ati argite kan akka malee guddatee fi cimaan, kan fiixeen isaa samii tuqee hamma daarii lafaatti mulʼatu,
21 Whose leaves [were] fair, and the fruit of it abundant, and in it [was] food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of heaven had their habitation:
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: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth to heaven, and thy dominion 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, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet 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 wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] its portion [be] with the beasts of the field, till seven times shall pass over him;
“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 decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
“Yaa Mootii hiikkaan isaa kana; labsiin Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii gooftaa koo irratti baases kana:
25 That 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 they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou shalt know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
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 commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure to thee, after that thou shalt have known 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 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thy iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
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 upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
Kun hundi Nebukadnezar Mooticha irra gaʼe.
29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
Jiʼa kudha lama booddee mootichi utuu gubbaa masaraa mootummaa Baabilon irra asii fi achi deddeebiʼaa jiruu,
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 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 While the word [was] in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom hath departed 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 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 shalt know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
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 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' [feathers], and his nails 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 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honored him that liveth for ever, whose dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [is] from generation to 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 all the inhabitants of the earth [are] reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and [among] the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say to him, What doest thou?
Uummanni lafaa hundi
36 At the same time my reason returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and brightness returned to me; and my counselors and my lords sought to me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to 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 honor the King of heaven, all whose works [are] truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
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.
