< 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 had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
2 Daniyel ya ce, “A cikin wahayina da dare na duba, a gabana kuwa ga kusurwoyi huɗu na sama suna gurɓata babban teku.
Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven strove upon 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: I beheld till its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon the feet as 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 behold another beast, a second, like a bear, and it raised itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus to it, Arise, devour 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 beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion 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 I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the remainder with its feet: and it was different from all the beasts that were 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 considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking 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 beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as 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 fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
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.
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12 (An tuɓe sauran dabbobin daga mulkinsu, amma aka bar su su rayu na wani lokaci.)
As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and 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 the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought 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 there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
15 “Ni, Daniyel, ruhuna ya damu ƙwarai, kuma wahayin da ya ratsa tunanina ya dame ni.
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled 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 them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17 ‘Waɗannan manyan dabbobi huɗu, Masarautai ne huɗu waɗanda za su taso a duniya.
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of 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 shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom 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 I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the remainder 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 of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21 Ina cikin dubawa, sai ga wannan ƙaho yana yaƙi da tsarkaka yana kuma cin nasara a kansu,
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against 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.
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed 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.
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
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 the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be different from the first, and he shall subdue 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 shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26 “‘Amma majalisa za tă yi zama, za a karɓe ikonsa, a kuma hallaka shi gaba ɗaya har abada.
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
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 dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
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 matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
