Daanyeel 7
1 Sannaddii kowaad oo boqorkii Baabuloon oo ahaa Beelshaasar, ayaa Daanyeel riyooday, waxna waa la tusay isagoo sariirtiisa ku jiifa; markaasuu riyadii qoray, waxyaalihii dhammaantoodna wuu sheegay.
[Previously, ] during the first year that Belshazzar was the king of Babylonia, I had a dream and a vision one night as I lay on my bed. [The next morning] I wrote down what I had dreamed. This is what I wrote:
2 Daanyeel wuu hadlay oo yidhi, Waxaan riyadaydii habeennimo ku arkay afartii dabaylood oo samada, oo badda weyn ku soo dhacaysa.
I, Daniel, had a vision last night. In the vision I saw that strong winds were blowing from all four directions, stirring up [the water in] the ocean.
3 Oo waxaa baddii ka soo baxay afar bahal oo waaweyn, ee midba kan kale ka duwan yahay.
Then [I saw] four beasts coming out of the ocean. All four of them were different.
4 Midkii kowaad wuxuu u ekaa libaax, baalal gorgorna wuu lahaa, oo waan fiirinayay ilaa baalashiisii laga rifay, oo dhulka kor baa looga qaaday, oo waxaa lagu taagay laba lugood sidii nin oo kale, nin qalbigiisna waa la siiyey.
The first one resembled a lion, but it had wings like an eagle has. But as I watched, something tore off its wings {its wings were pulled off}. The beast was left there, standing on its two hind/rear legs, like a human being stands. And it was given a mind like humans have.
5 Oo bal eeg, bahal kale oo labaad oo orso u ekaa, oo dhinac keliya ayuu ku taagnaa, oo saddex feedhood baa afka ugu jiray ilkihiisa dhexdood: oo waxaa lagu yidhi, War kac, oo dad badan cun.
The second beast resembled a bear. It was crouching, and it held between its teeth three ribs [from another animal that it had killed and eaten]. Someone said to it {It was told}, “Stand up and eat as much meat [as you want]!”
6 Dabadeedna waxaan arkay mid kale oo shabeel u eg, oo dhabarka ku leh afar baal oo haadeed, bahalku wuxuu kaloo lahaa afar madax; oo waxaa la siiyey dowladnimo.
Then I saw in front of me the third of those beasts. It resembled a leopard, but it had four wings protruding from its back. The wings were like a bird’s wings. It had four heads. It was given the power/authority to rule [people].
7 Dabadeedna waxaan riyadii habeennimada ku arkay bahalkii afraad, oo ahaa mid laga cabsado oo xoog badan, aad buuna u darnaa; oo wuxuu lahaa ilko waaweyn oo bir ah; wax buuna cunay oo burburiyey, intii hadhayna wuu ku tuntay; oo wuu ka wada duwanaa bahalladii kale oo ka horreeyey isaga; oo wuxuu lahaa toban gees.
In the vision I saw a fourth beast. It was stronger than the other beasts, and it was more terrifying. It crushed other creatures with its huge iron teeth and ate their flesh. The parts of animals that it did not grind with its teeth, it trampled [on the ground]. It was different from the other three beasts: It had ten horns [on its head].
8 Waxaan ka fiirsaday geesihii, oo bal eeg, waxaa dhexdoodii ka soo baxay gees kale oo yar; markaasaa hortiisa waxaa ka ruqay saddex gees oo kuwii hore ka mid ah, geeskaas waxaa ku yiil indho u eg indho dad, iyo af ku hadlaya waxyaalo waaweyn.
While I was looking at those horns, I saw a little horn appear [on the head of that beast]. It tore out three of the other horns. This little horn had eyes like humans have, and it had a mouth [with which it spoke] very boastfully.
9 Waxaan fiirinayay ilaa carshiyo meel la dhigay, oo waxaa ku fadhiistay mid da' weyn; oo dharkiisu wuxuu u caddaa sida barafka cad, timaha madaxiisuna waxay u ekaayeen sida suuf saafi ah, carshigiisu wuxuu ahaa olol dab ah, giringirihiisuna waxay ahaayeen dab wax gubaya.
[Then] while I watched, thrones were put in the places [where they belonged], and [God], the one who had been living forever, sat on one of the thrones. His clothes were as white as snow, and his hair was as white as pure/clean wool. His throne had wheels that were blazing with fire, and his throne was [also] blazing.
10 Oo waxaa hortiisa ka soo dareeray oo ka soo baxay durdur dab ah; oo waxaa u adeegayay kumaan kun iyo kumaan kun, hortiisana waxaa taagnaa toban kun oo min toban kun ah; oo xukunkiina waa la dhigay, kitaabbadiina waa la furay.
A fire was rushing out of in front of him like a stream. Many thousands [of people] (OR, [angels]) [were there] serving him, and millions [of other people] (OR, [angels]) were standing in front of him. They started (the court session/judging people), and they opened the books [in which they had written the record of all the good and bad things that people had done].
11 Wakhtigaas aad baan u fiiriyey, codkii hadallada waaweynaa oo geesku ku hadlay aawadiis; oo waxaan fiirinayay ilaa bahalkii la dilay, bakhtigiisiina waa la baabbi'iyey, oo waxaa loo dhiibay si dab loogu gubo.
While I was watching, I could hear the little horn speaking very boastfully. As I [continued to] watch, the [fourth] beast was killed. Its corpse was thrown into a fire and completely burned.
12 Oo bahalladii kale ee hadhayna dowladnimadoodii waa laga qaaday, cimrigoodiise waa la dheereeyey ilaa waa iyo wakhti.
The power/authority of the other [three] beasts was taken away from them, but they were allowed to continue to live for a while.
13 Riyadii habeennimada waxaan ku arkay mid u eg wiilkii aadan aha oo ku yimid daruuraha samada, oo wuxuu u yimid, kii da'da weynaa, oo waa loo soo dhoweeyey oo hortiisaa la soo taagay.
While I [continued to] see the vision that night, I saw someone who resembled a human being. He was coming [closer to me], surrounded by clouds. Then he was taken to [God], the one who had been living forever.
14 Oo waxaa la siiyey dowladnimo iyo ammaan iyo boqortooyo, inay dadyowga, iyo quruumaha, iyo kuwa kala afka ahu u wada adeegaan. Dowladnimadiisu waa dowladnimo weligeed jiraysa, oo aan dhammaanayn, boqortooyadiisuna waa mid aan la baabbi'in doonin.
He was honored and given great authority to rule over all the nations in the world, in order that people from every people-group and every nation, people from all language groups, would worship/serve him. He will rule forever; he will never stop ruling. The kingdom that he rules will never be destroyed.
15 Anigan Daanyeel ahna, ruuxaygu jidhkayguu ku murugaysnaa oo waxyaalihii lay tusayna, way iga argaggixiyeen.
As for me, Daniel, I was very terrified by what I had seen in that vision, and I did not know what to think about it.
16 Oo waxaan ku soo dhowaaday kuwii meeshaas taagnaa midkood, oo waxaan weyddiiyey runta ku saabsan waxyaalahan oo dhan. Markaasuu ii sheegay oo ii caddeeyey waxyaalahaas fasirkoodii oo dhan.
I went to one of those who were standing in front of the throne of God, and I asked him to tell me what it meant. So he told me the meaning of it.
17 Afartan bahal oo waaweynaa waa afar boqor, oo dunida ka kici doona.
[He said], “The four huge beasts represent four kingdoms/empires that will exist on the earth.
18 Laakiinse Ka ugu Sarreeya quduusiintiisa ayaa boqortooyada qaadan doonta, oo waxay yeelan doonaan boqortooyada weligood iyo xataa weligood iyo weligoodba.
But the Supreme God will give power/authority to his people [to rule], and they shall rule forever.”
19 Dabadeedna waxaan jeclaaday inaan ogaado runtii ku saabsanayd bahalkii afraad, oo ka duwanaa dhammaantood, oo aad iyo aad cabsida u lahaa, oo ilkihiisu birta ahaayeen, oo ciddiyahiisuna naxaasta ahaayeen; oo wax cunayay, oo waxna burbursanayay, intii hadhayna ku tumanayay,
Then I wanted to know what the fourth beast signified—[the beast] that was different from the other three, the beast that crushed [those that it attacked] with its bronze claws, and [then] ate [their flesh] with its iron teeth, and trampled on the parts of their bodies [that it did not eat].
20 iyo tobankii gees oo madaxiisa ku yiil, iyo geeskii kale oo soo baxay oo hortiisa ay saddexdu ka dhaceen, kaasu waa geeskii indhaha lahaa, iyo afka waxyaalaha waaweyn ku hadlayay, oo araggiisu kuwa kale ka xoog badnaa.
[I also wanted to know about] the ten horns on its head, and about the horn that appeared later, which got rid of three of the other horns. [I wanted to know what it meant that] it had eyes and a mouth with which it spoke very boastfully. [The beast that was represented by] that horn was more terrifying than the other beasts.
21 Waan fiiriyey, oo isla geeskaas ayaa quduusiinta la diriray; wuuna ka adkaaday;
While I was having the vision, I saw that this horn attacked God’s people and was defeating them.
22 ilaa uu kii da'da weynaa yimid, oo xukunkii la siiyey quduusiintii Ka ugu Sarreeya, oo uu yimid wakhtigii ay quduusiintu yeelan lahayd boqortooyada.
But then the Supreme God, the one who had been living forever, came and judged in favor of the people who belonged to him. And [I knew that] it was time for God’s people to receive authority [to rule].
23 Sidan buu yidhi, Bahalka afraad wuxuu ahaan doonaa boqortooyo afraad o dunida ka kici doonta, taasu waa ka duwanaan doontaa boqortooyooyinka kale oo dhan, oo waxay cuni doontaa dunida oo dhan, wayna ku tuman doontaa, oo burburin doontaa.
[Then] the man who was standing there said [to me], “The fourth beast represents an empire that will exist on the earth; that [empire] will be different from all [other] empires. [The army of] that empire will crush/kill [people all over] the world and trample [on their bodies].
24 Tobanka gees xaggoodana, waxaa boqortooyadaas ka kici doona toban boqor, dabadeedna mid kalaa kici doona iyaga ka dib, oo isagu waa ka duwanaan doonaa kuwii hore, oo saddex boqor buu dejin doonaa.
As for its ten horns, they represent ten kings who will rule that empire, [one after the other]. Then another [king] will appear. He will be different from the previous kings. He will defeat the three kings [that were represented by the three horns that were pulled out].
25 Oo hadal ka gees ah Ka ugu Sarreeya ayuu ku hadli doonaa, wuxuuna aad u dhibi doonaa quduusiinta Ka ugu Sarreeya, oo wuxuu ku fikiri doonaa inuu beddelo wakhtiyada iyo sharciga, oo gacantiisaana loo gelin doonaa ilaa wakhti iyo wakhtiyo iyo wakhti badhkiis.
He will revile the Supreme God, and he will oppress God’s people. He will try to change the [sacred] festivals and their [religious] laws/regulations. He will control them for three and a half years.
26 Laakiinse xukunku wuu ahaan doonaa, oo waxaa laga qaadi doonaa dowladnimadiisa, si loo dhammeeyo oo loo baabbi'iyo ilaa ugudambaysta.
But there will be a session/meeting of the court/judges in heaven, and that king’s authority/power will be taken away, and he will be completely destroyed.
27 Markaasaa boqortooyada iyo dowladnimada, iyo weynaanta boqortooyooyinka samada ka hooseeya oo dhan, waxaa la siin doonaa dadka quduusiinta Ka ugu Sarreeya. Boqortooyadiisu waa boqortooyo weligeed jiraysa, oo dowladaha oo dhammuna isagay u adeegi doonaan oo addeeci doonaan.
Then all the power and the greatness of all the kingdoms on the earth will be given to the people who belong to the Supreme God. The kingdom that he rules (OR, they rule) will endure forever. And the rulers of all the nations on the earth will serve and obey him (OR, them).”
28 Waa kan xaalka dabaadigiisii. Aniga Daanyeel ah, fikirradaydu aad bay iiga argaggixiyeen, wejigaygiina waa beddelmay, laakiinse qalbigaygaan ku hayay.
That is [what I saw in] my vision/dream. I, Daniel, was terrified, with the result that my face became pale. But I did not tell anyone about the vision [that I had seen].
