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, unto all the peoples, the races and the tongues who are dwelling in all the earth, Let, your prosperity, abound!
2 Mallattoowwanii fi hojiiwwan dinqii kanneen Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii naaf godhe isinitti himuun na gammachiisa.
The signs, and the wonders, which the most high God, hath wrought with me, it is pleasing before me to declare.
3 Mallattoowwan isaa akkam gurguddaa dha;
His signs, how great! and, his wonders, how mighty! His kingdom, is an age-abiding kingdom, and, his dominion, lasteth from generation to generation.
4 Ani Nebukadnezar natti tolee masaraa mootummaa koottis qananiidhaan mana koo nan jiraadhan ture.
I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at peace in mine own house, and was prosperous 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 saw, and it made me afraid, —and, fancies upon my bed, and visions of my head, terrified me.
6 Kanaafuu ani akka isaan abjuu sana naa hiikaniif akka ogeeyyiin Baabilon hundi fuula koo duratti dhiʼeeffaman nan ajaje.
Therefore made I a decree, to bring in before me, all the wise men of Babylon, —who, the interpretation of the dream, should make known to me.
7 Yommuu tolchitoonni, mortoonni, warri urjii ilaalanii fi waa himtoonni dhufanitti abjuu sana isaanitti nan hime; isaan garuu naaf hiikuu hin dandeenye.
Then came in the sacred scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers, —and, the dream, told I before them, but, the interpretation, could they not make 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.
Howbeit, at last, came 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—before him, I told [saying]:
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, chief of the sacred scribes, because I know that, the spirit of the holy gods, is in thee, —and no secret giveth thee trouble, [therefore], the visions of my dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof, do thou 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.
The visions then of my head upon my bed [were these], —I was looking, when lo! a tree in the midst of the land, and, the height thereof, was great.
11 Mukni sun akka malee guddatee jabaate; fiixeen isaas samii tuqe; hamma daarii lafaattis ni mulʼata ture.
The tree, grew, and became strong, —and, the height thereof, reached unto the heavens, and, the view thereof, unto the end of all the 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.
The foliage thereof, was beautiful, and, the fruit thereof, abundant, and there was food for all therein, —under it, the wild beast of the field found shade, and, among its branches, dwelt the birds of the heavens, and, therefrom, was well fed, all flesh.
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, upon my bed, when lo! a watcher and holy one, outer the heavens, 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 cried aloud, and, thus, he said—Hew ye down the tree, and lop off its branches, strip off its leaves, and scatter its fruit, —let the wild beasts flee from under it, and the birds, out of 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.
Nevertheless, the stock of its roots in the earth, leave ye, yea in a bond of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and, with the dew of the heavens, let it be drenched, and, with the wild beasts, be its portion, amongst, the herbage of the earth;
16 Qalbiin isaas qalbii namaa irraa geeddaramee qalbiin horii isaaf haa kennamu; kunis hamma waggaan torba darbutti haa taʼu.
Let, its heart, from a man’s, be changed, and, the heart of a wild beast, be given to it, —and let seven seasons pass over it.
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 watchers, is the thing, and [by] the mandate of the holy ones, the matter: to the intent that the living, may get to know, that the Most High, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, to whomsoever he pleaseth, he giveth it, and, one low among men, he setteth 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, have, I, King Nebuchadnezzar, seen. Thou, therefore, O Belteshazzar, the interpretation, do thou tell, forasmuch as, all the wise men of my kingdom, are unable, the interpretation, to make known to me, but, thou, art able, because, the spirit of the holy gods, is in thee.
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 was Belteshazzar, was astonished for about one moment, and, his thoughts, troubled him. The king spake and said, O Belteshazzar, let neither, the dream, nor the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My Lord, The dream, be for them who hate thee, and, the interpretation, for them who are thy foes.
20 Mukni ati argite kan akka malee guddatee fi cimaan, kan fiixeen isaa samii tuqee hamma daarii lafaatti mulʼatu,
The tree which thou sawest, which grew and became strong, whose, height, reached unto the heavens, and, the view, thereof to all the earth:
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,
Whose, foliage, was beautiful, and whose, fruit, abundant, and, food for all, was in it, —under it, dwelt the wild beasts of the field, and, in the branches thereof, nestled the birds of the heavens:
22 yaa Mootii, mukni sun siʼi! Ati guddaa fi jabaa taateerta; guddinni kee hamma samii gaʼutti ol baʼee bulchiinsi kees hamma daarii lafaatti balʼata.
Thyself, it is, O king, in that thou art grown, and become strong, —and, thy greatness hath grown, and reached to the heavens, and, thy 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, whereas the king saw a watcher and holy one coming down out of the heavens, who said, Hew ye down the tree and despoil it, nevertheless, the stock of its roots—in the earth, leave ye, even in a bond of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, —and, with the dew of the heavens, let it he drenched, and, along with the wild beasts of the field, be its portion, until that, seven seasons, pass over it.
24 “Yaa Mootii hiikkaan isaa kana; labsiin Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii gooftaa koo irratti baases kana:
This, is the interpretation, O king, —and, the decree of the Most High, it is, which hath come upon 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.
That, thee, are they going to drive forth from among men, and, along with the wild beasts of the field, shall be thy dwelling, and, grass—like oxen, will they suffer, thee, to eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, will they suffer, thee, to be drenched, and, seven seasons, shall pass over thee, —until that thou come to know, that the Most High, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, to whomsoever he pleaseth, he giveth 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, whereas they gave word to leave the stock of the roots of the tree, thy kingdom, unto thee, is sure, —after that thou come to know, that the heavens, have dominion.
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.”
Wherefore, O king, let, my counsel, be pleasing unto thee, thy sin, then, —by righteousness, break thou off, and, thine iniquities, by shewing favour to the oppressed, —if so be it may become the lengthening out of thy security.
28 Kun hundi Nebukadnezar Mooticha irra gaʼe.
All this, came upon 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, over the palace of the kingdom of Babylon, was he 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 spake and said, Is not, this, Babylon the great, —which, I myself, have built as the home of the kingdom, by the might of my power, and for the dignity of my majesty?
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 yet the word was in the mouth of the king, a voice, out of the heavens, fell, —Unto thee, is it said, O Nebuchadnezzar the king, The kingdom, hath departed from thee;
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 among men, are they going to drive, thee, forth, and, with the wild beast of the field, shall be thy dwelling, grass—like oxen, will they suffer, thee, to eat, and, seven seasons, shall pass over thee, —until that thou come to know that the Most High, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, to whomsoever he pleaseth, he giveth 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.
Immediately, the word, was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and, from among men, was he driven forth, and, grass—like oxen, did he eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, his body was drenched, —until that, his hair, like to eagles’ feathers, was grown, and his nails, like birds’ claws.
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, mine eyes unto the heavens, did uplift, and, mine understanding, unto me, returned, and, the Most High, I blessed, and, to him that liveth age-abidingly, I rendered praise and honour, —whose dominion, is an age-abiding dominion, and, his kingdom, lasteth from generation to generation;
35 Uummanni lafaa hundi
And, all the inhabitants of the earth, as nothing, are accounted, and, according to his own pleasure, dealeth he—with the army of the heavens, and the inhabitants of the earth, —and none there is who can smite upon his hand, or say to him, What hast thou 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 the same time, mine understanding, returned unto me, and, for the dignity of my kingdom, my majesty and my brightness, returned unto me, and, unto me, my nearest friends and my nobles, did seek, —and, over my kingdom, was I restored, and, surpassing greatness, was added unto 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 extolling and honouring the King of the Heavens, all whose works, are truth, and, his ways, right; and, them who walk in pride, he is able to abase,
