< Daniyel 2 >
1 A shekara ta biyu ta mulkinsa, Nebukadnezzar ya yi mafarkai; hankalinsa ya tashi har ya kāsa barci.
In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar saw a dream, and his spirit was terrified, and his dream fled from him.
2 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,
Yet the king commanded that the seers, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be gathered together to reveal to the king his dreams. When they arrived, they stood in front of the king.
3 sai ya ce musu, “Na yi mafarkin da ya dame ni kuma ina so in san me yake nufi.”
And the king said to them, “I saw a dream, and, being confused in mind, I do not know what I saw.”
4 Sai masanan taurarin suka amsa wa sarki da Arameyanci “Ran sarki yă daɗe! Ka faɗa wa bayinka mafarkin, mu kuma sai mu fassara.”
And the Chaldeans answered the king in Syriac, “O king, live forever. Tell the dream to your servants, and we will reveal its interpretation.”
5 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.
And in answer, the king said to the Chaldeans, “The memory of it has slipped away from me. Unless you reveal the dream to me, and its meaning, you will be put to death, and your houses will be confiscated.
6 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.”
But if you explain the dream and its meaning, you will receive from me rewards, and gifts, and great honor. Therefore, reveal to me the dream and its interpretation.”
7 Sai suka sāke amsa masa suka ce, “Ran sarki yă daɗe, faɗa wa bayinka mafarkin, mu kuma za mu fassara shi.”
They answered again and said, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will reveal its interpretation.”
8 Sai sarki ya amsa ya ce, “Na gane cewa kuna ƙoƙari ku ɓata lokaci ne kawai domin ku ga na manta da abin.
The king answered and said, “I am certain that you are stalling for time because you know that the memory of it has slipped away from me.
9 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.”
Therefore, if you do not reveal to me the dream, there is only one conclusion to be reached about you, that the interpretation is likewise false, and packed full of deception, so as to speak before me until the time passes away. And so, tell me the dream, so that I will also know that the interpretation that you tell me is likewise true.”
10 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.
Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and they said, “There is no man on earth who can accomplish your word, O king. For neither has any king, however great and mighty, asked for an answer of this kind from every seer, and astrologer, and Chaldean.
11 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.”
For the answer that you seek, O king, is very difficult. Neither can anyone be found who can reveal it in the sight of the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.”
12 Wannan ya sa sarki ya fusata ƙwarai, ya ba da umarni a tafi da dukan masu hikima na Babilon a kashe su.
When he heard this, the king commanded, in fury and in great wrath, that all the wise men of Babylon should be destroyed.
13 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.
And when the decree had gone forth, the wise men were put to death; and Daniel and his companions were sought, to be destroyed.
14 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.
Then Daniel inquired, about the law and the sentence, of Arioch, the general of the king’s army, who had gone forth to execute the wise men of Babylon.
15 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.
And he asked him, who had received the orders of the king, for what reason such a cruel sentence had gone forth from the face of the king. And so, when Arioch had revealed the matter to Daniel,
16 Da jin haka sai Daniyel ya tafi wurin sarki ya nemi ƙarin lokaci, domin yă bayyana wa sarki mafarkin da kuma fassararsa.
Daniel went in and asked of the king that he would grant him time to reveal the solution to the king.
17 Sa’an nan Daniyel ya komo gida ya kuma sanar wa abokansa Hananiya, Mishayel da Azariya, batun nan duka.
And he went into his house and explained the task to Hananiah, and Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
18 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.
so that they would seek mercy before the face of the God of heaven, about this mystery, and so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the other wise men of Babylon.
19 A wannan dare sai aka bayyana wa Daniyel mafarkin cikin wahayi. Daniyel kuwa ya ɗaukaka Allah na sama.
Then the secret was revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night. And Daniel blessed the God of heaven,
20 Ya ce, “Yabo ya tabbata ga sunan Allah har abada abadin; hikima da iko nasa ne.
and speaking aloud, he said, “May the name of the Lord be blessed by the present generation and forever; for wisdom and fortitude are his.
21 Yana sāke lokuta, yana tuɓe sarakuna yana kuma naɗa waɗansu. Yana ba da hikima ga masu hikima kuma ilimi ga masu basira.
And he alters the times and the ages. He takes away kingdoms and he establishes them. He gives wisdom to those who are wise and teaching skills to those who understand.
22 Yakan bayyana zurfafa da ɓoyayyun abubuwa; ya san abin da yake cikin dare, haske kuwa yana zaune tare da shi.
He reveals deep and hidden things, and he knows what has been established in darkness. And the light is with him.
23 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.”
To you, God of our fathers, I confess, and you, I praise. For you have given wisdom and fortitude to me, and now you have revealed to me what we asked of you, for you have uncovered for us the king’s thoughts.”
24 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.”
After this, Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke to him in this way, “Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will explain the solution to the king.”
25 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.”
Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel to the king, and he said to him, “I have found a man of the sons of the transmigration of Judah, who would announce the solution to the king.”
26 Sarki ya tambayi Daniyel (wanda ake kira Belteshazar), za ka iya faɗa mini mafarkin da na yi ka kuma fassara shi?
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Do you really think that you can reveal to me the dream that I saw and its interpretation?”
27 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,
And Daniel, facing the king, answered and said, “The secret that the king seeks, the wise men, the seers, and the soothsayers are unable to reveal to the king.
28 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,
But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, who has revealed to you, king Nebuchadnezzar, what will happen in the latter times. Your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed, are such as these.
29 “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.
You, O king, began to think, while in your blanket, about what will be hereafter. And he who reveals secrets showed you what will happen.
30 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.
To me, likewise, this mystery is revealed, not according to the wisdom that is in me more than in other living things, but so that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and so that you may know the thoughts of your mind.
31 “Ya sarki, ka ga wata babbar siffa, mai girma, siffa ce mai haske, abar bantsoro tana tsaye a gabanka.
You, O king, saw, and behold, something like a great statue. This statue, which was great and high, stood exalted above you, and you considered how terrible it was.
32 An yi kan wannan siffa da zinariya zalla, ƙirjinta da kuma hannuwanta an yi su da azurfa, cikinta da kuma cinyarta da tagulla ne.
The head of this statue was of the finest gold, but the breast and the arms were of silver, and further on, the belly and the thighs were of brass;
33 An yi ƙafafun da ƙarfe, tafin ƙafafunta kuma an yi rabi da ƙarfe rabi kuma da yumɓu.
but the shins were of iron, a certain part of the feet were of iron and another part were of clay.
34 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.
And so you looked until a stone was broken off without hands from a mountain, and it struck the statue on its feet, which were of iron and clay, and it shattered them.
35 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.
Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold were crushed together and diminished like the ashes of a summer courtyard, and they were quickly taken away by the wind, and no place was found for them; but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36 “Wannan shi ne mafarkin, yanzu kuma za mu fassara ta wa sarki.
This is the dream; we will also tell its interpretation before you, O king.
37 Ya, sarki, kai ne sarkin sarakuna. Allah na sama ya ba ka iko da girma da suna;
You are a king among kings, and the God of heaven has given to you a kingdom, and fortitude, and power, and glory,
38 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.
and all the places wherein the sons of men and the beasts of the field dwell. He has likewise given the flying creatures of the air into your hand, and he has placed all things under your realm. Therefore, you are the head of gold.
39 “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.
And after you, another kingdom will rise up, inferior to you, of silver, and another third kingdom of brass, which will rule over the whole world.
40 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
And the fourth kingdom will be like iron. Just as iron shatters and conquers all things, so will it shatter and crush all these.
41 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.
Furthermore, because you saw the feet and the toes to be part of potter’s clay and part of iron, the kingdom will be divided, but still, from the slip of iron it will take its origin, since you saw the iron mingled with the earthenware from clay.
42 Kamar yadda yatsotsin rabi na ƙarfe rabi kuma na yumɓu ne, haka wannan mulki zai zama rabi mai ƙarfi rabi kuma marar ƙarfi.
And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, part of the kingdom will be strong and part will be crushed.
43 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.
Yet, because you saw the iron mingled with pottery from the earth, they will indeed be combined together with the offspring of man, but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron cannot be mixed with earthenware.
44 “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.
But in the days of those kingdoms, the God of heaven will inspire a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and his kingdom will not be handed over to another people, and it will crush and will consume all these kingdoms, and this kingdom itself will stand in eternity.
45 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.”
In accordance with what you saw, because the stone was torn away from the mountain without hands, and it crushed the earthenware, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God has shown the king what will happen after this. And the dream is true, and its interpretation is faithful.”
46 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.
Then king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and adored Daniel, and he commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.
47 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.”
And so the king spoke with Daniel and said, “Truly, your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and also a revealer of secrets, since you could uncover this mystery.”
48 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.
Then the king raised Daniel to a high rank and gave him many great gifts, and he appointed him as leader over all the provinces of Babylon and as chief of the magistrates over all the other wise men of Babylon.
49 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.
However, Daniel required of the king that he appoint Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the works of the province of Babylon. But Daniel himself was at the king’s door.
