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, beheld, a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed, —then, the dream, he wrote, the sum of the matters, he told.
2 Daaniʼel akkana jedhe; “Ani halkan sana mulʼata koo keessatti nan ilaale; kunoo qilleensonni samii afran fuula koo duratti galaana guddaa raasaa turan.
Daniel spake and said, I was looking, in my vision [which came] with the night, —when, lo! the four winds of the heavens, bursting forth upon the great sea;
3 Bineensonni gurguddaan tokkoon tokkoon isaanii wal hin fakkaanne afur galaana sana keessaa ol baʼan.
and four large wild beasts, coming up out of the sea, —diverse, one from 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 foremost, like a lion, having, the wings of an eagle, —I looked until the wings thereof, were torn out, and it was lifted up from the earth, and, upon its feet, like a man, was it caused to stand, and, the heart of a man, was 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, lo! another wild beast, a second, resembling a bear, and, on one side, was it raised up, with three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth, —and, thus, were they saying to it, Rise! devour 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 that, I was looking, and lo! another like a leopard, and it, had four wings of a bird upon its back, —and four heads, had the wild beast, and dominion, was 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 that, I was looking in the visions of the night, when lo! a fourth wild beast, terrible and well-hipped and exceeding strong, and it had, large teeth of iron, it devoured and brake in pieces, and, the residue—with its feet, it trampled down, —and, it, was diverse from all the wild beasts that were before it, and it had, 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 the horns, when lo! another horn, a little one, came up among them, and, three of the former horns, were uprooted from before it, —and lo! eyes, like the eyes of a man, 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 continued looking, until that, thrones, were placed, and, the Ancient of days, took his seat, —whose, garment, like snow, was white, and, the hair of his head, like pure wool, his throne, was flames of fire, his wheels, a 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 stream of fire, was flowing on and issuing forth from before him, a thousand thousand, waited upon him and, ten thousand times ten thousand, before him, stood up, —Judgment, took its seat, and, books, were 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 continued looking, then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking, I continued looking, until that the wild beast, was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning of the fire.
12 Bineensota kaan irraa immoo aangoon isaanii ni fudhatame; garuu akka isaan yeroof jiraatan ni eeyyamameef.
As concerning the rest of the beasts, their dominion, was taken away, —but, a lengthening of life, was given to them, until time and season.
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 continued looking in the visions of the night, when lo! with the clouds of the heavens, one like a son of man, was coming, —and, unto the Ancient of days, he approached, and, before him, they 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, unto him, were given dominion and dignity and kingship, that all peoples, races and tongues, unto him, should do service, —his dominion, was an age-abiding dominion, which should not pass away, and, his kingdom, that which should not be destroyed.
15 “Ani Daaniʼel hafuura kootiin nan jeeqame; mulʼanni ani arges akka malee na sodaachise.
The spirit of, me, Daniel, was grieved in the midst of the sheath, —and, the visions of my head, terrified 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 drew near unto one of them who stood by, and made exact enquiry of him, concerning all this, —so he told me, and, the interpretation of the things, made he known unto me.
17 ‘Bineensonni gurguddaan afran mootota afran kaʼanii lafa irratti moʼanii dha.
These great wild beasts, which are four, —are four kings who shall arise out of 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.’
but the holy ones of the Highest, shall receive the kingdom, —and shall possess the kingdom for the age, yea for the age of 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 desired I to be sure, concerning the fourth wild beast, which was diverse from all of them, —exceeding terrible, whose, teeth, were iron, and, his claws, of bronze, he devoured, brake in pieces, and, the residue—with his feet, he trampled down;
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.
also concerning the ten horns, which were in his head, and the other, which came up, and there fell—from among them that were before it—three, —and this horn which had, eyes, and, a mouth, speaking great things, and, his look, was more proud than his fellows:
21 Gaanfi kunis utuma ani arguu qulqulloota irratti waraana labsee isaan moʼachaa ture;
I continued looking, when, this horn, made war with the holy ones, —and prevailed against them:
22 kunis hamma Inni Bara Durii dhufee qulqulloota Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitiif murutti ture; yeroon itti qulqulloonni mootummaa dhaalanis ni dhufe.
until that the Ancient of Days, came, and, justice, was granted to the holy ones of the Highest, —and, the time, arrived, that the holy ones should possess, 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 wild beast, is a fourth kingdom which shall be in the earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, —and shall devour all the earth, and shall trample it down, and break it in pieces.
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 of that kingdom, are ten kings who will arise, —and, another, will arise after them, and, he, will be diverse from the former ones, and, three kings, will he cast down;
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, words against the Most High, will he speak, and, the holy ones of the Highest, will he afflict, —and will hope to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand, for a season and seasons and the dividing of a season,
26 “‘Garuu dhaddachi ni taaʼama; aangoon isaas irraa fudhatamee inni bara baraan guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeeffama.
but, Judgment, will take its seat, —and, his dominion, will they take away, to destroy and make disappear unto an 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, and the greatness of the kingdoms under all the heavens, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Highest, —his kingdom, is an age-abiding kingdom, and, all the dominions, unto him, will render service, and show themselves obedient.
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.”
Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, greatly did my thoughts terrify me, and, my bright looks, were changed upon me, but, the matter—in mine own heart, I kept.
