< Daaniʼel 7 >

1 Bara Beelshaazaar mootii Baabilon keessa waggaa tokkoffaatti Daaniʼel utuu siree isaa irra ciisee jiruu abjuu fi mulʼata arge. Abjuu sanas barreessee waan arges ibse.
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel has seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then he has written the dream, the chief of the things he has said.
2 Daaniʼel akkana jedhe; “Ani halkan sana mulʼata koo keessatti nan ilaale; kunoo qilleensonni samii afran fuula koo duratti galaana guddaa raasaa turan.
Daniel has answered and said, “I was seeing in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth to the Great Sea;
3 Bineensonni gurguddaan tokkoon tokkoon isaanii wal hin fakkaanne afur galaana sana keessaa ol baʼan.
and four great beasts are coming up from the sea, diverse from one another.
4 “Inni jalqabaa leenca fakkaata ture; qoochoowwan risaa qaba ture. Anis hamma qoochoowwan isaa irraa bubuqqaʼanitti nan ilaale; innis lafaa ol qabamee akkuma namaa miilla lamaan dhaabate; qalbiin namaas ni kennameef.
The first [is] like a lion, and it has an eagle’s wings. I was seeing until its wings have been plucked, and it has been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it has been caused to stand, and a heart of man is given to it.
5 “Kunoo bineensi lammaffaan amaaketa fakkaatu fuula koo dura ture. Innis cinaacha isaa tokkoon ol jedhee ture; afaan isaa keessatti ilkaan isaa gidduutti lafee cinaachaa sadii qabatee ture. Bineensa sanaanis, ‘Kaʼiitii hamma quuftutti foon nyaadhu!’ jedhan.
And behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the same authority it has been raised, and three ribs [are] in its mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise, consume much flesh.
6 “Ergasii ani nan ilaale; fuula koo duras bineensa biraa kan qeerransa fakkaatuttu ture. Dugda isaa irras qoochoo akka qoochoo simbirroo afurtu ture. Bineensi kun mataa afur qaba ture; akka bulchuufis aangoon isaa kenname.
After this I was seeing, and behold, another like a leopard, and it has four wings of a bird on its back, and the beast has four heads, and dominion is given to it.
7 “Ergasiis ani halkan keessa mulʼata nan arge; kunoo fuula koo dura bineensa afuraffaa akka malee jabaa, sodaachisaa nama rifachiisu tokkotu ture. Innis ilkaan sibiilaa dheeraa qaba ture; innis waan qabate caccabsee nyaatee kan hafe immoo miilla isaa jalatti dhidhiita ture. Bineensi kun bineensota duraan turaniin adda taʼee gaanfa kudhan qaba ture.
After this I was seeing in the visions of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it has very great iron teeth, it has consumed, indeed, it breaks small, and it has trampled the remnant with its feet; and it [is] diverse from all the beasts that [are] before it; and it has ten horns.
8 “Utuu ani waaʼee gaanfawwan sanaa yaadaa jiruu gaanfi xinnaan isaan gidduudhaa baʼe biraa tokko fuula koo duratti mulʼate; gaanfawwan jalqabaa keessaa sadan isaanii fuula isaa duratti bubuqqaʼan. Gaanfi kunis ija ija namaa fakkaatuu fi afaan of tuulummaadhaan dubbatu qaba ture.
I was considering about the horns, and behold, another horn, a little one, has come up between them, and three of the first horns have been eradicated from before it, and behold, eyes as the eyes of man [are] in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 “Utuma ani ilaaluu, “Teessoowwan iddoo iddoo isaanii kaaʼaman; Inni Bara Durii teessoo isaa irra taaʼe. Uffanni Isaa adii akka cabbii ture; rifeensi mataa isaa qulqulluu akka suufii ture. Teessoon Isaa akka arraba ibiddaa, geengoowwan isaa hundinuus akka ibidda bobaʼaa jiruu turan.
I was seeing until thrones have been thrown down, and the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment [is] white as snow, and the hair of His head [is] as pure wool, His throne flames of fire, its wheels burning fire.
10 Lagni ibiddaa tokko fuula isaa duraa ni yaaʼa ture. Kumni kumaatamni irratti isa tajaajilu turan; kumni kudhan kan yeroo kuma kudhan baayʼatan fuula isaa dura dhaabatanii turan. Dhaddachi taaʼamee ture; kitaabonnis banamanii turan.
A flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before Him, one million serve Him and one hundred million rise up before Him, judgment has been set, and the scrolls have been opened.
11 “Ani sababii dubbii of tuulummaa gaanfi sun dubbachaa jiruutiif ilaaluu koo ittan fufe. Anis amma illee ittuma fufee hamma bineensi sun qalamee dhagni isaa barbadaaʼee ibidda bobaʼutti darbatamutti nan ilaale.
I was seeing, then, because of the voice of the great words that the horn is speaking, I was seeing until the beast is slain, and his body has been destroyed, and given to the burning fire;
12 Bineensota kaan irraa immoo aangoon isaanii ni fudhatame; garuu akka isaan yeroof jiraatan ni eeyyamameef.
and the rest of the beasts have caused their dominion to pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, until a season and a time.
13 “Anis mulʼata halkaniitiin nan ilaale; kunoo fuula koo dura ilma namaa kan fakkaatu tokkotu duumessa samiitiin dhufaa ture. Innis gara Isa Bara Duriitti dhufe; fuula isaa durattis isa dhiʼeessan.
I was seeing in the visions of the night, and behold, [One] like a Son of Man was coming with the clouds of the heavens, and to the Ancient of Days He has come, and before Him they have brought Him near.
14 Isaafis taayitaan, ulfinnii fi mootummaan ni kenname; uummanni hundi, saboonnii fi namoonni afaan garaa garaa dubbatanis isa waaqeffatan. Bulchiinsi isaa bulchiinsa bara baraa kan hin dabarree dha; mootummaan isaas kan gonkumaa hin badnee dha.
And to Him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages serve Him, His dominion [is] a continuous dominion, that does not pass away, and His kingdom that which is not destroyed.
15 “Ani Daaniʼel hafuura kootiin nan jeeqame; mulʼanni ani arges akka malee na sodaachise.
My spirit has been pierced—I, Daniel—in the midst of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble me;
16 Anis warra achi dhadhaabachaa turan keessaa isa tokkotti dhiʼaadhee hiikkaa dhugaa kan waan kana hundaa nan gaafadhe. “Kanaafuu inni natti himee akkana jedhee hiikkaa waan kanaa anaaf ibse:
I have drawn near to one of those standing, and the certainty I seek from him of all this; and he has spoken to me, indeed, the interpretation of the things he has caused me to know:
17 ‘Bineensonni gurguddaan afran mootota afran kaʼanii lafa irratti moʼanii dha.
These great beasts, that [are] four, [are] four kings, they rise up from the earth;
18 Garuu qulqulloonni Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii mootummaa sana ni fudhatu; bara baraanis ni fudhatu; eeyyee, bara baraa hamma bara baraatti ni dhaalu.’
and the saints of the Most High receive the kingdom, and they strengthen the kingdom for all time, even for all time and all ages.
19 “Ergasiis ani hiikkaa dhugaa kan bineensa afuraffaa isa bineensota kaan irraa adda taʼee ilkaan sibiilaatii fi qeensa naasii qabu kan akka malee sodaachisaa taʼe kan waan qabate nyaatuu fi waan hafe immoo miilla isaa jalatti dhidhiitu sanaa beekuu nan barbaade.
Then I wished for certainty concerning the fourth beast, that was diverse from them all, exceedingly fearful; its teeth of iron, and its nails of bronze, it has devoured, it breaks small, and it has trampled the remnant with its feet;
20 Akkasumas waaʼee gaanfawwan kurnan mataa isaa irra jiraniitii fi gaanfa baʼe inni biraa kan isaan kaan fuula isaa duratti kufanii, isa hunda isaanii caalu kan ijaa fi afaan ittiin of jajaa dubbatu qabu sanaa beekuu nan barbaade.
and concerning the ten horns that [are] in its heads, and of the other that came up, and before which three have fallen, even of that horn that has eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose appearance [is] great above its companions.
21 Gaanfi kunis utuma ani arguu qulqulloota irratti waraana labsee isaan moʼachaa ture;
I was seeing, and this horn is making war with the saints, and has prevailed over them,
22 kunis hamma Inni Bara Durii dhufee qulqulloota Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitiif murutti ture; yeroon itti qulqulloonni mootummaa dhaalanis ni dhufe.
until the Ancient of Days has come, and judgment is given to the saints of the Most High, and the time has come, and the saints have strengthened the kingdom.
23 “Innis akkana naan jedhe: ‘Bineensi afuraffaan sun mootummaa afuraffaa lafa irratti mulʼatuu dha. Inni mootummoota kaan hunda irraa adda; guutummaa lafaa barbadeessee gad dhidhiitee daaraa godha.
Thus he said: The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom in the earth, that is diverse from all kingdoms, and it consumes all the earth, and treads it down, and breaks it small.
24 Gaanfawwan kurnan mootota kurnan mootummaa kana keessaa dhufanii dha. Isaan booddees mootiin biraa kan warra duraa irraa adda taʼe tokko ni kaʼa; innis mootota sadii of jala galfata.
And the ten horns out of the kingdom [are] ten kings, they rise, and another rises after them, and it is diverse from the former, and it humbles three kings;
25 Inni Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii mormuudhaan qulqulloota isaa cunqursee yeroo murteeffameef seera illee geeddaruuf yaala. Qulqulloonnis bara tokkoof, bara lamaa fi walakkaa baraatiif dabarfamanii harka isaatti ni kennamu.
and it speaks words as an adversary of the Most High, and it wears out the saints of the Most High, and it hopes to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand, until a time, and times, and a division of a time.
26 “‘Garuu dhaddachi ni taaʼama; aangoon isaas irraa fudhatamee inni bara baraan guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeeffama.
And judgment is set, and they cause his dominion to pass away, to perish, and to be destroyed—to the end;
27 Ergasiis gooftummaan, humnii fi guddinni mootummootaa guutummaa samii gaditti qulqulloota, Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitiif ni kennamu. Mootummaan isaas mootummaa bara baraan itti fufuu dha; bulchitoonni hundinuu isa waaqeffatu; ni ajajamuufis.’
and the kingdom, and the dominion, even the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people—the saints of the Most High, His kingdom [is] a continuous kingdom, and all dominions serve and obey Him.
28 “Dhumni waan sanaa kana. Ani Daaniʼel yaada kootiin akka malee nan dhiphadhe; fuulli koo ni geeddarame; ani garuu waan sana garaa kootti qabadheen ture.”
Here [is] the end of the matter. I, Daniel, [am] greatly troubled [by] my thoughts, and my countenance is changed on me, and I have kept the matter in my heart.”
