Daaniʼel 4
1 Nebukadnezar Mooticha irraa, Sabootaa fi namoota afaan garaa garaa dubbatan kanneen guutummaa addunyaa irra jiraatan hundaaf: Nagaan isiniif haa baayʼatu!
“Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be great!
2 Mallattoowwanii fi hojiiwwan dinqii kanneen Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii naaf godhe isinitti himuun na gammachiisa.
The signs and wonders that God Most High has done with me, it is good before me to show.
3 Mallattoowwan isaa akkam gurguddaa dha;
How great His signs! And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom [is] a continuous kingdom, and His rule [is] with generation and generation.
4 Ani Nebukadnezar natti tolee masaraa mootummaa koottis qananiidhaan mana koo nan jiraadhan ture.
I, Nebuchadnezzar, have been at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
5 Ani abjuu na sodaachise tokko nan arge. Utuu ani siree koo irra ciisee jiruu fakkii fi mulʼanni qalbii koo keessa darbu na sodaachise.
a dream I have seen, and it makes me afraid, and the conceptions on my bed, and the visions of my head, trouble me.
6 Kanaafuu ani akka isaan abjuu sana naa hiikaniif akka ogeeyyiin Baabilon hundi fuula koo duratti dhiʼeeffaman nan ajaje.
And by me a decree is made, to cause all the wise men of Babylon to come up before me, that the interpretation of the dream they may cause me to know.
7 Yommuu tolchitoonni, mortoonni, warri urjii ilaalanii fi waa himtoonni dhufanitti abjuu sana isaanitti nan hime; isaan garuu naaf hiikuu hin dandeenye.
Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me.
8 Dhuma irratti Daaniʼel fuula duratti dhiʼaate; anis abjuu sana isatti nan hime. Inni Beelxishaazaari jedhamee maqaa waaqa kootiin waamama; hafuurri waaqota qulqulluu isa keessa ture.
And at last Daniel has come up before me, whose name [is] Belteshazzar—according to the name of my god—and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I have told:
9 Anis akkanan jedhe; “Yaa Beelxishaazaari, hangafa tolchitootaa, ani akka hafuurri waaqota qulqulluu si keessa jiru nan beeka; icciitiin kam iyyuu sitti hin ulfaatu. Abjuun ani arge kana; hiikkaa isaa natti himi.
O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, as I have known that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in you, and no secret presses you, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation, tell.
10 Mulʼanni utuun siree koo irra ciisee jiruu arge isa kanaa dha: Ani nan ilaale; mukni tokko fuula koo dura walakkaa lafaa dhaabatee ture. Dheerinni isaas guddaa ture.
As for the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height [is] great:
11 Mukni sun akka malee guddatee jabaate; fiixeen isaas samii tuqe; hamma daarii lafaattis ni mulʼata ture.
the tree has become great, indeed, strong, and its height reaches to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the whole land;
12 Baalli isaa bareedaa, iji isaa akka malee baayʼee ture; mukicha irras nyaata waan hundaaf taʼutu ture. Bineensonni gaaddisa isaa jala boqotu; simbirroon samiis dameellee isaa irra jiraatu; lubbuu qabeeyyiin hundinuus isa irraa nyaatu ture.
its leaves [are] beautiful, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it: under it the beast of the field takes shade, and in its boughs dwell the birds of the heavens, and of it are all flesh fed.
13 “Ani mulʼata utuun siree koo irra ciisee jiruu arge sana keessatti nan ilaale; fuula koo duras ergamaa qulqulluu samiidhaa gad buʼaa jiru tokkotu ture.
I was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down.
14 Innis sagalee guddaadhaan akkana jedhe: ‘Mukicha muraa; dameewwan isaa cicciraa; baala isaa harcaasaa; ija isaa bittinneessaa. Bineensonni isa jalaa, simbirroonnis dameewwan isaa irraa haa baqatani.
He is calling mightily, and thus has said, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and the birds from off its branches;
15 Gufuu fi hiddi isaa garuu sibiilaa fi naasiidhaan hidhamee lafa keessa, marga dirree keessa haa turu. “‘Inni fixeensa samiitiin haa jiidhu; biqiltuu keessas bineensota wajjin haa jiraatu.
but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts [is] his portion in the herb of the earth;
16 Qalbiin isaas qalbii namaa irraa geeddaramee qalbiin horii isaaf haa kennamu; kunis hamma waggaan torba darbutti haa taʼu.
his heart from man’s is changed, and the heart of a beast is given to him, and seven times pass over him;
17 “‘Akka namni lubbuun jiraatu hundinuu akka Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii mootummoota namootaa irratti bulchaa taʼee fi akka inni abbaa barbaadeef isaan kennee nama namoota hundaa gad taʼe isaanitti muudu beekaniif ergatamtoonni murtii labsanii qulqulloonni murtoo lallaban.’
by the decree of the sifters [is] the sentence, and by the saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it, and the lowest of men He raises up over it.
18 “Abjuun ani Nebukadnezar mootiin arge kanaa dha. Egaa yaa Beelxishaazaari waan namoota mootummaa kootii qaqqaroo keessaa tokko iyyuu naa hiikuu hin dandeenyeef abjuun sun maal akka taʼe natti himi. Ati garuu sababii hafuurri waaqota qulqulluu si keessa jiruuf ni dandeessa.”
This dream I have seen, I King Nebuchadnezzar; and you, O Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and you [are] able, for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in you.”
19 Ergasii Daaniʼel inni Beelxishaazaari jedhamu sun yeroodhaaf akka malee jeeqamee yaadni isaas isa rifachiise. Kanaafuu mootichi, “Yaa Beelxishaazaar, abjuun kun yookaan hiikkaan isaa si hin rifachiisin” jedhe. Beelxishaazaaris akkana jedhee deebise; “Yaa gooftaa koo abjuun kun warra si jibbaniif, hiikkaan isaa immoo diinota keetiif haa taʼu!
Then Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, has been astonished about one hour, and his thoughts trouble him; the king has answered and said, “O Belteshazzar, do not let the dream and its interpretation trouble you.” Belteshazzar has answered and said, “My lord, the dream—to those hating you, and its interpretation—to your enemies!
20 Mukni ati argite kan akka malee guddatee fi cimaan, kan fiixeen isaa samii tuqee hamma daarii lafaatti mulʼatu,
The tree that you have seen, that has become great and strong, and its height reaches to the heavens, and its vision to all the land,
21 kan baalli isaa bareedu, kan ija baayʼee qabu, kan iji isaa waan hundaaf nyaata taʼu, kan bineensotaaf gaaddisa, kan damee isaa irratti simbirroonni samii mandhee ijaarratan,
and its leaves [are] beautiful, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it, under it the beast of the field dwells, and on its boughs the birds of the heavens sit.
22 yaa Mootii, mukni sun siʼi! Ati guddaa fi jabaa taateerta; guddinni kee hamma samii gaʼutti ol baʼee bulchiinsi kees hamma daarii lafaatti balʼata.
It [is] you, O king, for you have become great and mighty, and your greatness has become great, and has reached to the heavens, and your dominion to the end of the earth;
23 “Yaa Mootii, ati ergamaa qulqulluu tokko utuu inni, ‘Mukicha muraa balleessaa; gufuu fi hidda isaa garuu sibiilaa fi naasiidhaan hidhaatii lafa keessatti marga dirree irratti dhiisaa; inni fixeensa samiitiin haa jiidhu; akka bineensota bosonaatti haa jiraatu; waggaan torbas isa haa darbu’ jechaa samiidhaa buʼu argite.
and that which the king has seen—a sifter, even a holy one, coming down from the heavens, and he has said, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens it is wet, and with the beast of the field [is] his portion, until seven times pass over him.
24 “Yaa Mootii hiikkaan isaa kana; labsiin Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii gooftaa koo irratti baases kana:
This [is] the interpretation, O king, and it [is] the decree of the Most High that has come against my lord the king:
25 Ati saba keessaa ariʼamtee bineensota bosonaa wajjin jiraatta; akka loonii marga nyaatta; fixeensa samiitiinis ni jiita. Ati hamma akka Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii mootummoota namootaa irratti bulchaa taʼee fi akka inni mootummoota kanas abbaa barbaadeef kennuu dandaʼu beektutti waggaan torba si darba.
and they are driving you away from men, and your dwelling is with the beast of the field, and they cause you to eat the herb as oxen, and they are wetting you by the dew of the heavens, and pass over you seven times, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it.
26 Ajajni akka gufuun muka sanaa hidda isaa wajjin hafuuf kenname sunis akka mootummaan kee yeroo ati ol aantummaan kan samii taʼe beektutti siif deebifamu argisiisa.
And that which they said—to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom abides for you, after that you know that the heavens are ruling.
27 Kanaafuu yaa Mootii, gorsa koo fudhadhu: Waan qajeelaa hojjechuudhaan cubbuu kee of irraa haqi; hammina kees cunqurfamtootaaf garaa laafuudhaan of irraa balleessi; yoos barri jireenya keetii ni dheerataa.”
Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and your sins by righteousness break off, and your perversity by pitying the poor, behold, it is a lengthening of your ease.”
28 Kun hundi Nebukadnezar Mooticha irra gaʼe.
All—has come on Nebuchadnezzar the king.
29 Jiʼa kudha lama booddee mootichi utuu gubbaa masaraa mootummaa Baabilon irra asii fi achi deddeebiʼaa jiruu,
At the end of twelve months, on the palace of the kingdom of Babylon he has been walking;
30 “Kun Baabilon guddittii ani akka isheen mana jireenya mootii taatuuf ulfina maqaa kootiif jedhee humna koo jabaadhaan ijaare sanaa mitii?” jedhe.
the king has answered and said, “Is this not that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of my honor?”
31 Utuu inni dubbii isaa afaanii hin fixatin sagaleen akkana jedhu tokko samiidhaa dhufe; “Yaa Nebukadnezar Mooticha, wanni sirratti labsame kana: Aangoon mootummaa keetii sirraa fudhatameera.
While the word is [in] the king’s mouth a voice from the heavens has fallen: “They are saying to you: O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom has passed from you,
32 Ati uummata keessaa ariʼamtee bineensota bosonaa wajjin jiraatta. Akka looniis marga nyaatta. Hamma ati akka Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii mootummoota namootaa irratti Gooftaa taʼee fi akka inni mootummoota sana abbaa fedheef kennu beektutti waggaan torba si darba.”
and from men they are driving you away, and your dwelling [is] with the beast of the field, they cause you to eat the herb as oxen, and pass over you seven times, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it.”
33 Yommusuma wanni waaʼee Nebukadnezar dubbatame sun ni raawwatame. Innis uummata keessaa ariʼamee akka loonii marga nyaate. Inni hamma rifeensi isaa akka baallee risaa guddatee qeensi isaa akka qeensa allaattii fakkaatutti dhagni isaa fixeensa samiitiin jiidhe.
In that hour the thing has been fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar, and from men he is driven, and he eats the herb as oxen, and his body is wet by the dew of the heavens, until his hair has become great as eagles, and his nails as birds.
34 Dhuma yeroon sanaatti, ani Nebukadnezar gara samii ol nan ilaale; qalbiin koos naa deebiʼe. Anis Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii nan galateeffadhe; isa bara baraan jiraatus nan jajadhe; ulfinas nan kenneef.
“And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, have lifted up my eyes to the heavens, and my understanding returns to me, and I have blessed the Most High, and the Perpetual Living One I have praised and honored, whose dominion [is] a continuous dominion, and His kingdom with generation and generation;
35 Uummanni lafaa hundi
and all who are dwelling on the earth are reckoned as nothing, and according to His will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that claps with his hand and says to Him, What have You done?
36 Akkuma qalbiin koo naaf deebiʼeenis, ulfina mootummaa kootiitiif ulfinnii fi miidhaginni koo yommusuma naaf deebiʼan. Gorsitoonnii fi qondaaltonni koo na barbaadan; anis teessoo kootti deebifamee kan durii caalaas guddaa nan taʼe.
At that time my understanding returns to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and my brightness return to me, and to me my counselors and my great men seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant greatness has been added to me.
37 Sababii wanni inni hojjetu hundi dhugaa, karaan isaa hundinuus qajeelaa taʼeef ani Nebukadnezar, Mooticha samii sana nan jajadha; isa nan leellisa; ulfinas nan kennaaf. Inni warra of tuulan gad deebisuu dandaʼaatii.
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and honoring the King of the heavens, for all His works [are] truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.”
