< 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 while on 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 the sky broke out on the great sea.
3 Sai ga dabbobi huɗu, kowannensu ya yi dabam da sauran, suna fitowa daga teku.
Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one 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 watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet as a man. 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!’
“Behold, there was another animal, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. They said this 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 saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had 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, there was a fourth animal, awesome, powerful, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the animals that were before it. 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 horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogantly.
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 watched until thrones were placed, and one who was Ancient of Days sat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, 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 fiery stream issued and came out from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set. 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 watched at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
12 (An tuɓe sauran dabbobin daga mulkinsu, amma aka bar su su rayu na wani lokaci.)
As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a 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, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even 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.
Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be destroyed.
15 “Ni, Daniyel, ruhuna ya damu ƙwarai, kuma wahayin da ya ratsa tunanina ya dame ni.
“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within 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 those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning 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 animals, which are four, are four kings, who will 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 will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever 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 desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its 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 concerning the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
21 Ina cikin dubawa, sai ga wannan ƙaho yana yaƙi da tsarkaka yana kuma cin nasara a kansu,
I saw, 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.
“So he said, ‘The fourth animal will be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will 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.
As for the ten horns, ten kings will arise out of this kingdom. Another will arise after them; and he will be different from the former, and he 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.
He will speak words against the Most High, and will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will plan to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand until 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 judgment will be set, and they will 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.’
The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will 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 troubled me greatly, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”
