Daniyel 4

1 Daga sarki Nebukadnezzar. Zuwa ga mutane da al’ummai da kuma kowane yare, da suke zama a duniya. Salama mai yawa ta tabbata a gare ku!

Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell on all the earth, May your welfare increase.

2 Ina murna in shaida muku game da alamu da al’ajabai waɗanda Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka ya yi ta wurina.

The signs and wonders which the most high God hath wrought toward me I find it for good to make known.

3 Alamunsa da girma suke,

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.

4 Ni, Nebukadnezzar, ina zaune a gidana cikin fadata, ina jin daɗi ina bunkasa.

Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

5 Na yi mafarkin da ya ba ni tsoro. A sa’ad da nake kwance a gadona, siffofi da wahayoyi da suka bi ta cikin tunanina sun firgita ni.

I saw a dream which terrified me; and the thoughts upon my couch and the visions of my head troubled me.

6 Don haka na ba da umarni a tattaro dukan masu hikima na Babilon su bayyana a gabana domin su fassara mini mafarkin.

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.

7 Sa’ad da masu sihiri, da masu dabo, da masanan taurari da masu duba suka zo, na faɗa musu mafarkin, amma ba su iya fassarta mini mafarkin ba.

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.

8 A ƙarshe, sai Daniyel ya zo gabana na kuma faɗa masa mafarkin. (Ana ce da shi Belteshazar, wanda aka ba shi sunan allahna kuma ruhun alloli masu tsarki suna a bisansa.)

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, ]

9 Na ce, “Belteshazar, shugaban masu sihiri, na san ruhun alloli suna a kanka, babu wani asirin da zai fi ƙarfin ganewarka. Ga dai mafarkin da na yi, sai ka fassara mini.

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.

10 Waɗannan su ne wahayin da na gani a lokacin da nake kwance a gadona, na duba, a gabana kuwa ga wani itace a kafe a tsakiyar duniya, yana da tsawo ƙwarai.

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.

11 Itacen ya yi girma ya kuma yi ƙarfi, har tsayinsa ya taɓa sarari sama; ana iya ganinsa a ko’ina a duniya.

The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached unto heaven, and it was visible to the end of all the earth.

12 Ganyayensa suna da kyau, yana da’ya’ya jingim, abinci kuma domin kowa da kowa. A ƙarƙashinsa namun jeji suke samun wurin hutawa, kuma tsuntsayen sama suna zaune a bisa rassansa; daga cikinsa kowace halitta take cin abinci.

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.

13 “A cikin wahayin da gani sa’ad da nake kwance a kan gadona, Na duba, a gabana kuwa ga wani ɗan saƙo, mai tsarki, yana saukowa daga sama.

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.

14 Sai ya yi kira da babbar murya ya ce, ‘A sare itacen a kuma yayyanka rassansa; a karkaɗe ganyensa a kuma warwatsar da’ya’yansa. Bari dabbobi su tashi daga ƙarƙashinsa da kuma tsuntsayen da suke a rassansa.

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:

15 Amma a bar kututturen da kuma saiwoyinsa, a daure shi da ƙarfe da kuma tagulla, a bar shi a cikin ƙasa, a cikin ciyayin filaye. “‘Bari yă jiƙu da raɓar, bari yă zauna cikin dabbobi tare da tsire-tsiren duniya.

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;

16 Bari a canja tunaninsa irin na mutane a ba shi tunani irin na dabbobi, har sau bakwai su wuce a kansa.

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.

17 “‘An sanar da wannan matsayi ne ta bakin’yan saƙo, masu tsarki ne kuwa suka sanar da hukuncin, domin masu rai su sani Mafi Ɗaukaka ne mai iko duka a bisa kowane mulkin mutane, yakan kuma ba wa duk wanda ya ga dama, yakan sanya talaka yă zama sarki.’

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.

18 “Wannan shi ne mafarkin da ni, Nebukadnezzar, na yi. Yanzu Belteshazar, sai ka faɗa mini abin da yake nufi, domin babu wani a cikin masu hikima a mulkina da ya iya fassara mini shi. Amma za ka iya, domin ruhun alloli masu tsarki yana a bisanka.”

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.

19 Sai Daniyel (wanda ake kira Belteshazar) ya tsaya zugum na ɗan lokaci, tunaninsa ya ba shi tsoro. Saboda haka sarki ya ce, “Belteshazar, kada ka bar mafarkin ko ma’anarsa ta tayar maka da hankali.” Belteshazar ya amsa ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, in dai har mafarkin zai tsaya a kan abokan gābanka da ma’anarsa kuma ta faɗa kan maƙiyan!

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.

20 Itacen da ka gani; wanda ya yi girma da ƙarfe, da tsayinsa ya taɓa sararin sama, wanda ana ganinsa ko’ina a duniya,

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;

21 wanda ganyayensa masu kyau ne yana da’ya’yan itace da yawa, wanda yake ba da abinci ga duka, yana ba da wurin hutu ga namun jeji, kuma rassansa suna ɗauke da sheƙar tsuntsayen sama.

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: —

22 Ya sarki kai ne itacen nan! Ka yi girma da ƙarfi; girmanka kuma ta kai har sama, mulkinka kuma ya kai ko’ina a duniya.

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.

23 “Ya sarki ka ga ɗan saƙon mai tsarkin nan, yana saukowa daga sama yana cewa, ‘A sare itacen a hallaka shi, amma a bar kututturensa daure da ƙarfe da tagulla, a bar shi can a ɗanyar ciyawar filaye, ya jiƙe da raɓa, ya zauna tare da namun jeji har shekara bakwai.’

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: —

24 “Ga fassarar, ya sarki, wannan ita ce doka wadda Mafi Ɗaukaka ya bayar a kan ranka yă daɗe, sarkina.

This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the resolve of the Most High, which will come over my lord the king:

25 Za a kore ka daga cikin mutane, za ka kuma zauna cikin namun jeji; za ka ci ciyawa kamar shanu, za ka jiƙe da raɓa har shekara bakwai cif sa’an nan za ka sani cewa Mafi Ɗaukaka ne mai iko duka a kan dukan mulkoki a duniya, yake kuma ba da mulki ga duk wanda ya ga dama.

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.

26 Umarni na barin kututturen itacen da saiwoyinsa yana nufin cewa za a maido maka da mulkinka a lokacin da ka gane cewa Mai sama ne yake mulki.

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.

27 Saboda haka, ya sarki, ina roƙonka ka karɓi shawarar da zan ba ka; ka furta zunubanka ta wurin yin abin da yake daidai. Ka bar muguntarka, ka aikata alheri ga waɗanda ake wulaƙantawa, wataƙila za a ƙara tsawon kwanakinka da salama.”

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.

28 Duk wannan kuwa ya faru da sarki Nebukadnezzar.

All this came over king Nebuchadnezzar.

29 Bayan wata goma sha biyu, a sa’ad da sarki yake takawa a bisan saman ɗakin fadar Babilon,

At the end of twelve months he was walking upon the royal palace at Babylon.

30 sai ya ce, “Ba wannan ita ce Babilon babba da na gina domin wurin zaman sarautar Babilon, da ikona kuma domin ɗaukakar darajata ba?”

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?

31 Tun kalmomin suna cikin bakinsa sai ya ji murya daga sama tana cewa, “Wannan shi ne abin da aka zartar a kanka, Sarki Nebukadnezzar. An karɓe ikon mulkinka.

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.

32 Za a kore ka daga cikin mutane za ka kuma yi rayuwa tare da namun jeji. Za ka ci ciyawa kamar sa har shekara bakwai cif, sa’an nan za ka gane Mafi Ɗaukaka ne mai iko duka a kan dukan mulkoki a duniya, yake kuma ba da mulki ga duk wanda ya ga dama.”

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.

33 Nan da nan abin da aka faɗa a kan Nebukadnezzar tabbatarsa ya cika. Aka kore shi daga cikin mutane ya kuma shiga cin ciyawa kamar shanu. Jikinsa ya jiƙe da raɓa, har gashinsa ya yi tsawo kamar fikafikan gaggafa, kumbarsa kuma suka yi tsawo kamar na tsuntsu.

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].—

34 A ƙarshen waɗannan kwanaki, ni, Nebukadnezzar, na ɗaga idanuna sama, sai hankalina ya komo mini. Na kuwa yabi Maɗaukaki, na girmama shi, na ɗaukaka shi wanda yake rayayye har abada.

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;

35 Dukan mutanen duniya

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?

36 A lokacin nan hankalina ya komo mini, sai aka mayar mini da masarautata mai daraja, da martabata, da girmana.’Yan majalisata da fadawana suka nemo ni. Aka maido ni kan gadon sarautata da daraja fiye da ta dā.

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.

37 Yanzu ni, Nebukadnezzar, ina yabon Sarkin sama, ina waƙa ina kuma darjanta shi, saboda dukan abin da ya yi mini, mai kyau ne kuma dukan hanyoyinsa gaskiya ne. Kuma duk masu tafiya da girman kai zai ƙasƙantar da su.

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.
