< Daniyel 7 >
1 A shekara ta fari ta mulkin Belshazar sarkin Babilon, Daniyel ya yi mafarki, wahayoyi kuma suka ratsa tunaninsa a sa’ad da yake a kwance a gadonsa. Sai ya rubuta abin da mafarkin ya ƙunsa.
In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream, and visions came into his head on his bed: then he put the dream in writing.
2 Daniyel ya ce, “A cikin wahayina da dare na duba, a gabana kuwa ga kusurwoyi huɗu na sama suna gurɓata babban teku.
I had a vision by night, and saw the four winds of heaven violently moving the great sea.
3 Sai ga dabbobi huɗu, kowannensu ya yi dabam da sauran, suna fitowa daga teku.
And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.
4 “Na farkon ya yi kamar zaki kuma yana da fikafikai kamar gaggafa. Ina kallo, sai aka fizge fikafikanta, aka ɗaga ta sama, aka sa ta tsaya a kan ƙafafu biyu kamar mutum, aka ba ta tunani irin na mutum.
The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings; while I was watching its wings were pulled off, and it was lifted up from the earth and placed on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 “A gabana kuma ga dabba ta biyu, wadda ta yi kamar beyar. Aka ɗaga ta a gefenta guda, tana kuwa da haƙarƙarai uku a bakinta a tsakanin haƙoranta. Aka faɗa mata, ‘Tashi ki cika cikinki da ɗanyen nama!’
And I saw another beast, like a bear, and it was lifted up on one side, and three side-bones were in its mouth, between its teeth: and they said to it, Up! take much flesh.
6 “Bayan haka, na duba, a gabana kuwa ga wata dabba wadda ta yi kamar Damisa, a bayanta kuma tana da fikafikai huɗu irin na tsuntsu. Wannan dabbar tana da kawuna huɗu, aka kuma ba ta iko tă yi mulki.
After this I saw another beast, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings like those of a bird; and the beast had four heads, and the power of a ruler was given to it.
7 “Bayan haka, a cikin wahayina da dare na duba, a gabana kuwa ga dabba ta huɗu, wadda take da bantsoro da banrazana da kuma iko ƙwarai. Tana da manyan haƙoran ƙarfe; ta ragargaje ta cinye abin da ta kama, ta kuma tattaka duk abin da ya rage a ƙarƙashin ƙafafunta. Ta bambanta da dukan sauran dabbobin da suka riga ta, tana kuma da ƙahoni goma.
After this, in my vision of the night, I saw a fourth beast, a thing causing fear and very troubling, full of power and very strong; and it had great iron teeth: it took its food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping down the rest with its feet: it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.
8 “Yayinda nake cikin tunani game da ƙahonin nan, a gabana kuwa ga wani ƙaho, ɗan ƙanƙani, wanda ya fito daga cikinsu; kuma an tumɓuke uku daga cikin ƙahonin farko kafin wannan. Wannan ƙaho yana da idanu kamar na mutum da kuma bakin da yake maganganun fariya.
I was watching the horns with care, and I saw another coming up among them, a little one, before which three of the first horns were pulled up by the roots: and there were eyes like a man's eyes in this horn, and a mouth saying great things.
9 “Ina cikin dubawa, “sai aka ajiye kursiyoyi, sai ga wani wanda yake tun fil azal ya zauna a mazauninsa. Rigarsa ta yi fari fat kamar ƙanƙara; gashin kansa sun yi fari kamar ulu. Kursiyinsa kuma harshen wuta, dukan ƙafafun kursiyin masu kama da keken yaƙin, wuta ne.
I went on looking till the seats of kings were placed, and one like a very old man took his seat: his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like clean wool; his seat was flames of fire and its wheels burning fire.
10 Kogin wuta yana gudu, yana fitowa daga gabansa. Dubun dubbai sun yi masa hidima; dubu goma sau dubu goma sun tsaya a gabansa. Aka zauna don shari’a, aka kuma buɗe littattafai.
A stream of fire was flowing and coming out from before him: a thousand thousands were his servants, and ten thousand times ten thousand were in their places before him: the judge was seated and the books were open.
11 “Sa’an nan na ci gaba da kallo saboda kalmomin fariyar da wannan ƙaho yake furtawa. Na yi ta kallo har sai da aka yanke dabbar, aka kuma hallaka jikinta a cikin wuta.
Then I saw — because of the voice of the great words which the horn said — I saw till the beast was put to death, and its body was given to destruction, and the beast was given to the burning of fire.
12 (An tuɓe sauran dabbobin daga mulkinsu, amma aka bar su su rayu na wani lokaci.)
As for the rest of the beasts, their authority was taken away: but they let them go on living for a measure of time.
13 “A wahayina na dare, na ga a gabana wani kamar ɗan mutum yana saukowa tare da gizagizan sama. Ya kusaci Wannan wanda yake Tun fil azal aka kuma kai shi gabansa.
I saw in visions of the night, and there was coming with the clouds of heaven one like a man, and he came to the one who was very old, and they took him near before him.
14 Aka ba shi mulki, daraja da kuma mafificin iko; dukan mutane, da al’ummai, da mutane daga kowane harshe suka yi masa sujada. Mulkinsa kuwa dawwammamen mulki ne da ba zai ƙare ba, sarautarsa kuma ba ta taɓa lalacewa.
And to him was given authority and glory and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages were his servants: his authority is an eternal authority which will not come to an end, and his kingdom is one which will not come to destruction.
15 “Ni, Daniyel, ruhuna ya damu ƙwarai, kuma wahayin da ya ratsa tunanina ya dame ni.
As for me, Daniel, my spirit was pained because of this, and the visions of my head were troubling me.
16 Sai na matsa kusa da ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda suke tsaye a can, na tambaye shi gaskiya ma’anar waɗannan al’amura. “Don haka sai ya faɗa mini, ya kuma ba ni fassarar waɗannan al’amura.
I came near to one of those who were waiting there, questioning him about what all this was. And he said to me that he would make clear to me the sense of these things.
17 ‘Waɗannan manyan dabbobi huɗu, Masarautai ne huɗu waɗanda za su taso a duniya.
These great beasts are four kings who will be cut off from the earth.
18 Amma tsarkaka na Mafi Ɗaukaka za su karɓi wannan sarauta, za su kuwa mallake ta har abada, I, har abada abadin.’
But the saints of the Most High will take the kingdom, and it will be theirs for ever, even for ever and ever.
19 “Sa’an nan kuma sai na so in san ma’anar wannan dabba ta huɗu, wadda ta yi dabam da sauran dabbobin da suke da matuƙar bantsoro, da take da haƙoran ƙarfe da kuma farcen tagulla, dabbar ta ragargaje ta cinye abin da ta kama, ta kuma tattaka duk abin da ya rage a ƙarƙashin ƙafafunta.
Then it was my desire to have certain knowledge about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, a cause of great fear, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who took his food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping on the rest with his feet;
20 Na kuma so in gane game da ƙahonin nan guda goma da suke a kanta da kuma game da ƙahon nan da ya fito, wanda aka tumɓuke ƙahoni uku a gabansa, ƙahon nan da yake da idanu da bakin da yake furta manyan maganganun fariya, wanda ya yi kamar ya fi sauran girma.
And about the ten horns on his head and the other which came up, causing the fall of three; that horn which had eyes, and a mouth saying great things, which seemed to be greater than the other horns.
21 Ina cikin dubawa, sai ga wannan ƙaho yana yaƙi da tsarkaka yana kuma cin nasara a kansu,
And I saw how that horn made war on the saints and overcame them,
22 sai da Wannan wanda yake tun fil azal ya zo ya furta hukunci, aka kuma ba tsarkaka na Mafi Ɗaukaka gaskiya, lokaci kuwa ya cika sai suka karɓi mulki.
Till he came, who was very old, and the decision was made and the authority was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints took the kingdom.
23 “Sai ya ba ni wannan bayani, ‘Dabbar nan ta huɗu, ita ce mulki na huɗu da zai bayyana a duniya. Zai bambanta da dukan sauran mulkoki, zai kuma cinye dukan duniya, yă tattake ta, yă kuma ragargaje ta.
This is what he said: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom which will come on earth, different from all the kingdoms, and it will overcome all the earth, crushing it down and smashing it.
24 Ƙahonin nan goma, sarakuna ne goma waɗanda za su taso daga wannan mulki. Bayansu kuma, wani sarki zai taso, wanda ya sha dabam da waɗanda suka riga shi. Zai rinjayi sarakunan nan uku.
And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will come to power; and after them another will come up: he will be different from the first ones and will put down three kings.
25 Zai yi maganar saɓo a kan Mafi Ɗaukaka, zai kuma tsananta wa tsarkaka yă kuma yi ƙoƙarin sāke lokuta da shari’u. Za a miƙa tsarkaka a hannunsa na wani lokaci, lokuta da kuma rabin lokaci.
And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law; and the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time.
26 “‘Amma majalisa za tă yi zama, za a karɓe ikonsa, a kuma hallaka shi gaba ɗaya har abada.
But the judge will be seated, and they will put an end to his authority, to overcome it and send complete destruction on it.
27 Sa’an nan za a ba da mulki, iko da girma na mulkokin da suke a ƙarƙashin dukan sammai ga tsarkaka, mutane na Mafi Ɗaukaka. Mulkinsa kuwa mulki ne marar matuƙa, kuma dukan masu mulki za su yabe shi, su kuma yi masa biyayya.’
And the kingdom and the authority and the power of the kingdoms under all the heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all powers will be his servants and do his pleasure.
28 “Wannan shi ne ƙarshen batun. Ni, Daniyel na damu ƙwarai da irin tunanina, kuma fuskata ta rikice, amma na riƙe batun a zuciyata.”
Here is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, I was greatly troubled by my thoughts, and the colour went from my face: but I kept the thing in my heart.
