Daanyeel 2
1 Oo sannaddii labaad oo boqornimadii Nebukadnesar ayaa Nebukadnesar riyooyin ku riyooday, markaasuu argaggaxay oo ay hurdadiisii ka baabba'day.
[One night] during the second year that Nebuchadnezzar ruled, he had a dream. The dream worried him very much; and [as a result] he could not sleep.
2 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku amray in loo yeedho saaxiriintii, iyo xiddigiyayaashii iyo falalowyadii, iyo kuwii reer Kaldayiin ahaa, inay boqorka u sheegaan riyooyinkiisii. Markaasay soo galeen oo boqorkii hortiisa istaageen.
[The next morning] he summoned his men who worked magic, fortune-tellers, those who worked sorcery, and those who studied the stars. [Because he had forgotten what he had dreamed, ] he insisted that they tell him what he had dreamed. As they stood there in front of the king,
3 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Riyaan ku riyooday, waxaanan la argaggaxsanahay inaan ogaado waxa riyada micneheedu yahay.
he said, “I had a dream [last night] that worries me. [Tell me what I dreamed, because] I want to know what the dream [means].”
4 Markaasaa kuwii reer Kaldayiin ahaa boqorkii kula hadleen afkii reer Suuriya, waxayna ku yidhaahdeen, Boqorow, weligaaba noolow. Bal riyadaada noo sheeg annagoo addoommadaada ah oo annana waxaannu kuu caddayn doonnaa fasirkeeda.
The men who studied the stars replied to the king, speaking in the Aramaic [language]. They said, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we hope that you will live a long time! Tell us what you dreamed, and [then] we will tell you what it means!”
5 Boqorkii waa u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi kuwii reer Kaldayiin ahaa, Wixii waa iga tegey, oo haddaydnan ii caddayn riyadii iyo fasirkeediiba, waa laydin googooyn doonaa, guryahiinnana waxaa laga dhigi doonaa meel digo lagu tuulo.
But the king replied, “I have firmly decided that you must tell me the dream, and [also tell me] what it means. If you do not do that, I will [order my soldiers to] cut you into pieces, and to cause your houses to become only piles of stones!
6 Laakiinse haddaad ii caddaysaan riyadii iyo fasirkeediiba, waxaan idin siin doonaa hadiyad iyo abaalgud iyo ciso weyn; haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ii caddeeya riyadii iyo fasirkeediiba.
But if you tell me what I dreamed and what it means, I will reward you. I will give you wonderful gifts and greatly honor you. So tell me what I dreamed and what it means!”
7 Iyana mar labaad bay u jawaabeen oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Boqorow, annagoo ah addoommadaada, riyadii noo sheeg, oo annana waxaannu caddayn doonnaa fasirkeedii.
But again they said, “Tell us what you dreamed, and [then] we will tell you what it means.”
8 Boqorkiina waa jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Xaqiiqa waan garanayaa inaad wakhti dheer qaadanaysaan, maxaa yeelay, waad og tihiin in wixii iga tegey.
The king replied, “I know that you are just trying to get more time, because you know that I will do to you what I said that I would do.
9 Laakiinse haddaydnan riyadii ii caddayn, de markaas sharci keliya ayaad leedihiin, waayo, waxaad soo diyaarsateen hadal been ah oo kharriban inaad igula hadashaan ilaa uu wakhtigu beddelmo. Haddaba riyadii ii sheega, dabadeedna waan ogaan doonaa inaad fasirkeediina ii caddayn kartaan.
If you do not tell me what I dreamed, you will be punished. [I think that] you have all agreed to tell me lies and [other] wicked things, because you hope that I will change ([my mind/what I am thinking]). But tell me the dream, and [then] I will know that you can [also] tell me what it means.”
10 Kuwii reer Kaldayiin ahaana boqorkii bay u jawaabeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Dhulka ma joogo nin caddayn karaa xaalkaaga, boqorow; waayo, lama arag boqor, ama sayid, ama taliye waxan oo kale weyddiiyey saaxir ama xiddigiye, ama mid ka mid ah reer Kaldayiin toona.
The men who studied the stars replied, “There is no one on the earth who can do what you ask! There is no king, [even] a great and mighty king, who has [ever] asked his men who work magic or his fortune-tellers or men who study the stars to do something like that!
11 Waxaad weyddiisay, boqorow, waa wax aan badanaa la weyddiin dadka, qof kale oo boqorka u caddayn karaana ma jiro ilaahyada mooyaane, kuwaasoo aan hoygoodu binu-aadmiga la jirin.
What you are asking [us to do] is impossible. Only the gods can tell you what you dreamed, and they do not live among us!”
12 Sababtaas daraaddeed ayaa boqorkii cadhooday oo aad buu u dhirfay, oo wuxuu amray in la baabbi'iyo raggii Baabuloon oo xigmadda lahaa oo dhan.
The king was very angry when he heard that, so he commanded [his soldiers] that they execute all such wise men in Babylon.
13 Amarkiina waa baxay, nimankii xigmadda lahaana waxaa la doonayay in la wada laayo, markaasay dooneen Daanyeel iyo saaxiibbadiis in la laayo.
And because of what the king commanded, they sent some men to find me and my [three] friends, to execute us [also].
14 Daanyeelna jawaab buu talo iyo miyir ugu celiyey Aryoog oo ahaa sirkaalkii waardiyaha boqorka, oo u soo baxay inuu laayo raggii xigmadda lahaa oo Baabuloon oo dhan.
Arioch, the commander of the king’s guards, came to kill us. But I spoke to him very wisely and tactfully/skillfully.
15 Wuxuu Aryoog oo ahaa sirkaalkii boqorka ugu jawaabay, Boqorku muxuu amarka ugu degdegay? Markaasaa Aryoog xaalkii ogeysiiyey Daanyeel.
I asked Arioch, “Why has the king made such a harsh/terrible decree?” So Arioch told me all that had happened [because of the king’s dream].
16 Markaasaa Daanyeel u galay, oo boqorkii weyddiistay inuu u qabto wakhti uu boqorka ugu caddeeyo riyada fasirkeedii.
I [immediately] went to talk to the king and requested that the king give me some time, so that I could find out [what the dream was and] what the dream meant.
17 Markaasaa Daanyeel gurigiisii tegey, oo xaalkii ogeysiiyey Xananyaah, iyo Miishaa'eel, iyo Casaryaah, oo ahaa saaxiibbadiis,
Then I went home, and I told my friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, what had happened.
18 inay Ilaaha samada weyddiistaan naxariis ku saabsan qarsoodigan, oo ayan Daanyeel iyo saaxiibbadiis la baabbi'in raggii Baabuloon oo xigmadda lahaa intoodii kale.
I urged them to ask God, who lives/rules in heaven, to have mercy on us by telling us the secret [meaning of what the king dreamed], in order that we and the other wise men in Babylon would not be executed.
19 Markaasaa qarsoodigii Daanyeel tusniin loogu muujiyey goor habeen ah. Daanyeelna Ilaaha samada ayuu u mahadnaqay.
And that night [God] gave to me a vision in which he revealed the secret. Then I praised God,
20 Daanyeelna waa jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Ammaan waxaa leh magaca Ilaah weligiis iyo weligiis; waayo, isagaa leh xigmad iyo xoogba;
saying, “We should praise God [MTY] forever, because [only] he truly is wise and powerful.
21 oo wakhtiyada iyo xilliyadana isagaa kala bedbeddela; isagaa boqorro dejiya oo boqorro saara. Xigmad buu siiyaa kuwa xigmadda leh, aqoonna wuu siiyaa kuwa wax garta.
He determines what events will happen through the years. He removes [some] kings and gives their authority to [new] kings. He is the one who causes people to become wise and enables those who study to understand [many] things.
22 Wuu muujiyaa waxyaalaha fog iyo qarsoodigaba; wuuna yaqaan waxa gudcurka ku jira, nuurkuna isaguu la joogaa.
He reveals things that are very mysterious; he is surrounded by light, but he knows things that are hidden [as though they were] in the darkness.
23 Waan kugu mahadnaqayaa, oo waan ku ammaanayaa, Ilaaha awowayaashayow, oo i siiyey xigmad iyo xoog, oo haatan i ogeysiiyey wixii aannu kaa doonaynay; waayo, waad na ogeysiisay xaalkii boqorka.
God, whom my ancestors [worshiped], I thank you and I praise you, because you have caused me to be wise and made me strong. You have told me what my friends and I asked you to tell us; and you have revealed to us what the king demanded to know.”
24 Sidaas daraaddeed Daanyeel wuxuu u galay Aryoog, oo boqorku u doortay inuu baabbi'iyo raggii xigmadda lahaa oo Baabuloon. Bal i gee boqorka hortiisa, oo anna waxaan boqorka u caddayn doonaa fasirkii riyada.
Then I went to Arioch, the man whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men in Babylon. I said to him, “Do not kill those wise men. Take me to the king, and I will tell him what his dream means.”
25 Markaasaa Aryoog haddiiba Daanyeel boqorka u soo geliyey oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Maxaabiistii reer Yahuudah ayaan ka helay nin ku ogeysiin doona fasirkii riyadaada, boqorow.
So Arioch quickly took me to the king. He said to the king, “I have found [this man], one of the men whom we brought from Judah who [says he can] can tell you what your dream means!”
26 Markaasaa boqorkii u jawaabay oo ku yidhi Daanyeel, oo magiciisa la odhan jiray Beelteshaasar, Ma i ogeysiin kartaa riyadii aan arkay iyo fasirkeediiba?
The king said to me, whose [new] name was Belteshazzar, “[Is this true]? Can you tell me what I dreamed and what it means?”
27 Daanyeelna waa jawaabay isagoo boqorkii hor taagan, oo wuxuu yidhi, Qarsoodigii aad weyddiisay, boqorow, kuuma caddayn karaan rag xigmad lahu, ama xiddigiyayaal, ama saaxiriin, ama kuwa wax sii sheega toona;
I replied, “There are no wise men or fortune-tellers or men who work magic or men who work sorcery who can tell such things to you.
28 laakiinse samada waxaa jooga Ilaah muujiya waxyaalaha qarsoon, oo isagu wuxuu ku ogeysiiyey, boqor Nebukadnesarow, waxa jiri doona ugu dambaysta.
But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets. And he has shown in [your dream] what will happen in the future. Now I will tell you what you dreamed, the vision you saw [as you were lying] on your bed.
29 Riyadaadii iyo waxyaalihii lagu tusay adoo sariirtaada ku jiifa waa kuwan: Boqorow, sariirtaada ayaad ku dul fikirtay, oo waxaad istidhi, Maxaa dhici doona hadda ka dib? Oo kan waxyaalo qarsoon muujiyaa wuxuu ku ogeysiiyey waxa dhici doona.
O King, while you were sleeping, you dreamed about events that will happen in the future. The one who reveals mysteries has shown you what is going to happen.
30 Laakiinse aniga qarsoodigan la iiguma muujin xigmad aan dheerahay dad kale oo nool, laakiinse sababtu waa in lagu ogeysiiyo fasirkii riyadaada, boqorow, iyo inaad ogaatid fikirrada qalbigaaga.
And it is not because I am wiser than anyone else on earth that I know the meaning of this mysterious dream. It is because God wanted you to understand what you were thinking.
31 Boqorow, waxaad aragtay ekaan weyn. Ekaantan xoogga weynayd, oo dhalaalkeedu aad u wanaagsanaa, hortaaday istaagtay; soojeedkeeduna wuxuu ahaa mid laga cabsado.
O King, [in your vision] you saw in front of you a huge and terrifying statue [of a man. It was] shining very brightly, and it was frightening and awesome.
32 Ekaantaasna madaxeedu wuxuu ahaa dahab wanaagsan, laabteeda iyo gacmaheeduna waxay ahaayeen lacag, caloosheeda iyo bowdooyinkeeduna waxay ahaayeen naxaas.
The head of the statue was [made] of pure gold. Its chest and arms [were made of] silver. Its belly and thighs [were made of] bronze.
33 Lugaheeduna waxay ahaayeen bir, cagaheeda qaar wuxuu ahaa bir, qaarna wuxuu ahaa dhoobo.
Its legs [were made of] iron, and its feet were a mixture of clay and iron.
34 Oo waxaad aragtay ilaa uu dhagax aan gacmo lagu gooyn ekaantii kaga dhacay cagihii ahaa birta iyo dhoobada, wayna kala burbureen.
As you watched, something cut a rock [from a mountain, but it was] not a human [who cut it]. The rock [tumbled down and] smashed the feet of the statue, feet [that were made of] iron and clay. It smashed them to bits.
35 Markaasaa birtii, iyo dhoobadii, iyo naxaastii, iyo lacagtii, iyo dahabkiiba wada burbureen, oo waxay noqdeen sida buunshaha meelaha wax lagu tumo; dabayl baana la tagtay, si aan meella loogu helin; markaasaa dhagaxii ekaanta ku dhacay wuxuu noqday buur weyn, oo dhulka oo dhan buuxiyey.
Then the rest of the statue collapsed into a big heap of iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold. The pieces of the statue were as small as bits of chaff on the ground where it is threshed, and the wind blew away all the tiny pieces. There was nothing left. But the rock that smashed the statue became a large mountain that covered the whole earth.
36 Riyadii waa tan, fasirkiina annagaa ku sheegi doonna boqorka hortiisa.
That was what you dreamed. Now I will tell you what it means.
37 Adigu, Boqorow, waxaad tahay boqorkii boqorrada, oo Ilaaha samadu siiyey boqortooyada, iyo xoogga, iyo itaalka iyo ammaanta.
You are a king [who rules] over [many other] kings. The God who rules in heaven has caused you to rule over them and has given you great power [DOU] and has honored you.
38 Oo meel kasta oo binu-aadmigu joogo, dugaagga duurka, iyo haadka samadaba gacantuu kuu geliyey, wuxuuna ka dhigay inaad xukunto kulligood; adigu madaxii dahabka ahaa baad tahay.
He has caused you to be the ruler over all people, and [even] the animals and birds are controlled by you. [So] the head [of the statue] represents you.
39 Oo waxaa adiga dabadaa kici doona boqortooyo kaa xoog yar, iyo boqortooyo kale oo saddexaad oo naxaas ah oo dhulka oo dhan xukumi doonta.
But after your [kingdom/rule] ends, there will be another [great] kingdom, [but it] will not be as great as yours. [The silver parts of the statue represent that kingdom]. Then there will be a third [great] kingdom [whose king] will rule over the whole earth. The bronze parts [of the statue represent] that kingdom.
40 Oo boqortooyada afraadna waxay u xoog badnaan doontaa sida birta; waayo, birtu way jejebisaa, wayna ka adkaataa wax walba; oo sida birtu u burburiso kuwan oo dhan ayay u jejebin oo ay u burburin doontaa.
After that kingdom ends, there will be a fourth [great] kingdom. The iron [parts of the statue represent that kingdom]. [The army of] that kingdom will smash the previous kingdoms, just like iron smashes everything that it strikes.
41 Oo sidaad u aragtay cagaha iyo faraha lugeed oo qaar yahay dhoobadii dheryasameeyaha, qaarna yahay birta, ayay u noqon doontaa boqortooyo kala qaybsan, laakiinse waxaa ku jiri doona xooggii birta, sidaad u aragtay birta ku qasan dhoobada dheryaha laga sameeyo.
The feet and toes of the statue that you saw, that were a mixture of iron and clay, indicate that the kingdom they represent will [later] be divided.
42 Oo sidii faraha cagaha qaarkood bir u ahaa, qaarna dhoobo u ahaa, ayaa boqortooyada qaarkeedna u xoog badnaan doonaa, qaarkeedna u jabi doonaa.
Some parts of that kingdom will be as strong as iron, but some parts will not remain together, just as iron and clay do not stick together.
43 Oo sidaad u aragtay dhoobada dheryaha laga sameeyo iyo birta isku qasan, ayay isugu qasi doonaan farcanka dadka; laakiinse isma ay qabsan doonaan, sida aanay birtu ugu qasmi karin dhoobada.
The mixture of iron and clay [in the statue] shows also that the rulers of those kingdoms that separate from each other will try to form alliances with each other as a result of members of the royal families of those kingdoms marrying each other. But that will not succeed, just as iron and clay do not stick together.
44 Oo wakhtiga boqorradaas ayaa Ilaaha samadu dhisi doonaa boqortooyo aan weligeed la baabbi'inayn, ama dowladnimadeedu aanay dad kale uga wareegayn, laakiinse way jejebin doontaa oo baabbi'in doontaa boqortooyooyinkaas oo dhan, markaasay weligeed taagnaan doontaa.
But while those kings are ruling, God who rules in heaven will establish a kingdom that will never end. No one will ever defeat its king. He will completely destroy all those kingdoms, but his kingdom will remain forever.
45 Waayo, waxaad aragtay dhagax buurta laga soo gooyay oo aan gacmo lagu gooyn, oo kala jejebiyey birtii, iyo naxaastii, iyo dhoobadii, iyo lacagtii, iyo dahabkii; Ilaaha weynu wuxuu, boqorow, ku ogeysiiyey waxa dhici doona hadda dabadeed, riyaduna waa dhab, fasirkeeduna waa wax la hubo.
That is the meaning of the rock that something cut from the mountain, the rock that will crush to tiny bits the statue that is made of iron, bronze, silver, and gold. O king, the great God has shown you what will truly happen in the future. And you can trust [what I told you about] the meaning of the dream.”
46 Markaasaa boqorkii ahaa Nebukadnesar wejigiisa u dhacay, oo u sujuuday Daanyeel, oo wuxuu amray inay u bixiyaan qurbaan iyo foox udgoon.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar prostrated himself in front of me [in great respect]. He commanded [his people] that they burn incense and burn an offering of grain to honor me.
47 Boqorkiina waa u jawaabay Daanyeel oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Sida runta ah Ilaahaagu waa Ilaaha ilaahyada iyo Sayidka boqorrada, iyo mid muujiya waxyaalo qarsoon, maxaa yeelay, waxaad awoodday inaad daaha ka qaaddid qarsoodigan.
The king said to me, “[Your God has enabled] you to tell me the meaning of this dream/mystery, so now I truly know that your God is greater than all the other gods and all other kings. He reveals [to people] things that they cannot know.”
48 Markaasaa boqorkii Daanyeel derejeeyey, oo wuxuu siiyey hadiyado badan oo waaweyn, wuuna u dhiibay taladii gobolkii Baabuloon oo dhan, oo wuxuu ka dhigay taliyaha madaxda u ah ragga xigmadda leh oo Baabuloon oo dhan.
Then the king gave many gifts to me, and he [also] appointed me to rule over the entire province of Babylon, and [also] to be the boss of all his wise men.
49 Daanyeelna boqorkuu weyddiistay inuu ka dhigo Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo inay axwaalkii gobolkii Baabuloon u taliyaan, Daanyeelse wuxuu joogay iridda boqorka.
I asked the king to appoint Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to [also] have important positions in Babylon province, and the king did what I asked him to do. But [I did my work while] I stayed at the king’s palace.
