1 A noo Boqor Nebukadnesar ah waxaan ku leeyahay dadyowga, iyo quruumaha, iyo kuwa kala afka ah oo dhulka oo dhan deggan, Nabadu ha idinku badato.

Nebuchadnezzar the king to all the peoples, nations, and men of every language that live in all the earth: “May your peace abound!

2 W ay ila wanaagsanaatay inaan muujiyo calaamadihii iyo yaababkii uu Ilaaha ugu sarreeyaa igu sameeyey.

It has seemed good to me to declare the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done for me.

3 C alaamadihiisu waaweynaa! Yaababkiisuna xoog badanaa! Boqortooyadiisu waa boqortooyo weligeed jiraysa, dowladnimadiisuna waa mid jiraysa fac ilaa fac.

“How great are His signs And how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom And His dominion is from generation to generation. The Vision of a Great Tree

4 A noo Nebukadnesar ah gurigaygaan ku nasanayay, oo waxaan ku raaxaysanayay daartayda weyn.

“ I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and flourishing in my palace.

5 W axaan arkay riyo iga cabsiisay, markaasaa fikirradaydii aan sariirtayda la jiifay, iyo waxyaalihii lay tusay iga argaggixiyeen.

I saw a dream and it made me fearful; and these fantasies as I lay on my bed and the visions in my mind kept alarming me.

6 S idaas daraaddeed waxaan amar ku bixiyey in hortayda la soo taago nimankii xigmadda lahaa oo reer Baabuloon oo dhan, inay ii caddeeyaan fasirkii riyada.

So I gave orders to bring into my presence all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

7 D abadeedna waxaa ii yimid saaxiriintii, iyo xiddigiyayaashii, iyo kuwii reer Kaldayiin, iyo kuwii wax sheegi jiray; markaasaan riyadii ku hor sheegay; laakiinse fasirkii iima ay caddayn.

Then the magicians, the conjurers, the Chaldeans and the diviners came in and I related the dream to them, but they could not make its interpretation known to me.

8 L aakiinse ugu dambaystii waxaa i hor yimid Daanyeel, oo la odhan jiray Beelteshaasar, sida magaca ilaahay, oo ilaahyada quduuskaa ruuxoodu ku jiro; markaasaan riyadii ku hor sheegay isagii, oo ku idhi,

But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is a spirit of the holy gods; and I related the dream to him, saying,

9 B eelteshaasarow, saaxiriinta madaxdoodiiyow, waan ogahay in ilaahyada quduuskaa ruuxoodii kugu jiro, oo aan qarsoodiina ku dhibin, ee haddaba ii sheeg waxyaalihii aan ku arkay riyadaydii, iyo fasirkoodiiba.

‘O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, since I know that a spirit of the holy gods is in you and no mystery baffles you, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, along with its interpretation.

10 S idan bay ahaayeen waxyaalihii aan arkay anigoo sariirtayda ku jiifa: waxaan arkay geed dhulka ku dhex yaal, dhererkiisuna waa weynaa.

‘Now these were the visions in my mind as I lay on my bed: I was looking, and behold, there was a tree in the midst of the earth and its height was great.

11 G eedkii waa koray, wuuna xoog badnaa, dhererkiisiina wuxuu gaadhay cirka, waxaana laga arkay meesha dhulka ugu shishaysa.

‘The tree grew large and became strong And its height reached to the sky, And it was visible to the end of the whole earth.

12 C aleemihiisuna way qurxoonaayeen, midhihiisuna way badnaayeen, waxaana ku tiil cunto ku wada filan wax walba. Xayawaankii duurkuna hoostiisay hadhsanayeen, haadka cirkuna waxay ku hoyan jireen laamihiisa, oo wax jidh leh oo dhammuna isagay wax ka cuni jireen.

‘Its foliage was beautiful and its fruit abundant, And in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, And the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches, And all living creatures fed themselves from it.

13 A noo sariirtayda jiifa waxaan ku arkay waxyaalihii lay tusay, mid wax dhawra oo quduus ah oo samada ka soo degay.

‘I was looking in the visions in my mind as I lay on my bed, and behold, an angelic watcher, a holy one, descended from heaven.

14 M arkaasuu intuu aad u qayliyey yidhi, Geedka gooya, laamihiisana ka jara, caleemihiisana ka daadiya, midhihiisana kala firdhiyaa; xayawaanku hoostiisa ha ka fogaadeen, haadkuna laamihiisa.

‘He shouted out and spoke as follows: Chop down the tree and cut off its branches, Strip off its foliage and scatter its fruit; Let the beasts flee from under it And the birds from its branches.

15 H abase yeeshee jiridda iyo xididdadiisa dhulka ku dhex daaya, iyagoo ku xidhan xadhig bir iyo naxaas ah, doogga jilicsan oo berrinka dhexdiisa, oo dharabka samadu ha qoyo, oo qaybtiisuna ha la jirto xayawaanka ku dhex jira doogga dhulka.

“Yet leave the stump with its roots in the ground, But with a band of iron and bronze around it In the new grass of the field; And let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, And let him share with the beasts in the grass of the earth.

16 Q albigiisuna kan dadka ha ka beddelmo, qalbiga xayawaankana isaga ha la siiyo; toddoba wakhtina ha gudbeen.

“Let his mind be changed from that of a man And let a beast’s mind be given to him, And let seven periods of time pass over him.

17 X ukunkii waxaa amray kuwa wax dhawra xaalkuna wuxuu ku jiraa hadalka kuwa quduuska ah, sababtu waa in waxa noolu ogaadaan in Ka ugu Sarreeyaa u taliyo boqortooyada dadka, oo uu siiyo ku alla kii uu doonayo, oo uu madax uga dhigo kan dadka ugu hooseeya.

“This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers And the decision is a command of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, And bestows it on whom He wishes And sets over it the lowliest of men.”

18 A nigoo ah Boqor Nebukadnesar ayaan riyadan arkay, adna Beelteshaasarow, fasirkeeda caddee, waayo, nimanka xigmadda leh ee boqortooyadayda joogay oo dhammu way kari waayeen inay fasirkii ii caddeeyaan; laakiinse adigu waad kartaa, waayo, ruuxii ilaahyada quduuska ah ayaa kugu jira. Daanyeel Oo Riyadii Fasiray

This is the dream which I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me its interpretation, inasmuch as none of the wise men of my kingdom is able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for a spirit of the holy gods is in you.’ Daniel Interprets the Vision

19 M arkaasaa Daanyeel oo magiciisu ahaa Beelteshaasar, ayaa inta wakhti ah yaabbanaa, fikirradiisiina wuu la welwelay. Markaasaa boqorkii u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Beelteshaasarow, ha ka welwelin riyada ama fasirkeeda. Beelteshaasarna waa jawaabay oo yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, riyadu ha u noqoto kuwa ku neceb, fasirkeeduna ha u noqdo cadaawayaashaada.

“Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while as his thoughts alarmed him. The king responded and said, ‘Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.’ Belteshazzar replied, ‘ My lord, if only the dream applied to those who hate you and its interpretation to your adversaries!

20 G eedkii aad aragtay, oo koray, oo xoogga badnaa, oo dhererkiisu cirka gaadhay, ee dhulka oo dhan laga arkayay,

The tree that you saw, which became large and grew strong, whose height reached to the sky and was visible to all the earth

21 o o caleemihiisu qurxoonaayeen, midhihiisuna badnaayeen, oo cuntada wax walba ku filanu ku tiil; oo hoostiisa xayawaanka duurku hadhsanayeen, oo laamihiisa haadka cirku rugta ka dhigtay,

and whose foliage was beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in which was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt and in whose branches the birds of the sky lodged—

22 w aa adiga oo koray oo xoog badan yeeshay Boqorow, waayo, weynaantaadii way badatay oo cirka gaadhay dowladnimadaaduna meesha dhulka ugu shishaysa.

it is you, O king; for you have become great and grown strong, and your majesty has become great and reached to the sky and your dominion to the end of the earth.

23 O o waxaad aragtay mid wax dhawra oo quduus ah oo samada ka soo degaya, isagoo leh, Geedka gooya, oo baabbi'iya; habase yeeshee jiridda iyo xididdadiisa dhulka ku daaya, iyagoo ku xidhan xadhig bir iyo naxaas ah, doogga jilicsan oo berrinka dhexdiisa, oo dharabka samadu ha qoyo, qaybtiisuna ha la jirto xayawaanka duurka, jeeray toddoba wakhti gudbaan,

In that the king saw an angelic watcher, a holy one, descending from heaven and saying, “ Chop down the tree and destroy it; yet leave the stump with its roots in the ground, but with a band of iron and bronze around it in the new grass of the field, and let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and let him share with the beasts of the field until seven periods of time pass over him,”

24 f asirkii waa kan, Boqorow, waana amarkii Ka ugu Sarreeya, oo kugu soo degay adoo sayidkayga ah boqorow.

this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:

25 D adka waa lagaa fogayn doonaa, oo waxaad la joogi doontaa xayawaanka duurka, oo sidii dibi ayaad doog u cuni doontaa, oo waxaa ku qoyn doona dharabka samada, toddoba wakhtina waa ku gudbi doonaan, jeeraad ogaato in Ka ugu Sarreeyaa u taliyo boqortooyada dadka, oo uu siiyo ku alla kii uu doonayo.

that you be driven away from mankind and your dwelling place be with the beasts of the field, and you be given grass to eat like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven; and seven periods of time will pass over you, until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.

26 O o sida loo amray in la daayo jiridda iyo xididdada geedka, ayaa boqortooyadaadu hubaal ku noqon doontaa, markaad ogaato inay samooyinku wax u taliyaan.

And in that it was commanded to leave the stump with the roots of the tree, your kingdom will be assured to you after you recognize that it is Heaven that rules.

27 H addaba Boqorow, taladayda aqbal, dembiyadaadana xaqnimo ku jebi, xumatooyinkaagana ku jebi naxariista aad masaakiinta u naxariisatid si ay xasilloonaantaadu u sii raagto. Riyadii Oo Rumowday

Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you: break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.’ The Vision Fulfilled

28 W axyaalahan oo dhammu waxay ku dheceen Boqor Nebukadnesar.

“All this happened to Nebuchadnezzar the king.

29 L aba iyo toban bilood dabadoodna wuxuu dhex socday gurigii boqornimada ee reer Baabuloon.

Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon.

30 M arkaasaa boqorkii hadlay oo yidhi, Sow tanu ma aha Baabuloontii weynayd, oo aan u dhisay meel boqornimadu rug u leedahay, oo aan ammaanta weynaantayda ugu dhisay xoogga itaalkayga?

The king reflected and said, ‘Is this not Babylon the great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?’

31 I ntii hadalkaasu weli boqorka afkiisii ku jiray ayaa cod samada ka dhawaaqay, oo yidhi, Boqor Nebukadnesarow, adaa lagula hadlayaa, boqortooyadii waa kaa tagtay.

While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: sovereignty has been removed from you,

32 O o dadka waa lagaa eryi doonaa, oo waxaad la joogi doontaa xayawaanka duurka, oo waxaa lagaa dhigi doonaa inaad doog u cunto sidii dibi, toddoba wakhtina way ku gudbi doonaan, jeeraad ogaato in Ka ugu Sarreeyaa u taliyo boqortooyada dadka, oo uu siiyo ku alla kii uu doonayo.

and you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the beasts of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and seven periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.’

33 O o isla saacaddiiba waxyaalihii waa ku dheceen Nebukadnesar; kolkaasaa dadkii laga eryay, sidii dibina doog buu u cunay, jidhkiisiina waxaa qoyay dharabkii samada, ilaa ay timihiisii u bexeen sida baalal gorgor, ciddiyihiisiina sida ciddiyo haadeed.

Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; and he was driven away from mankind and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.

34 O o markii wakhtigii dhammaaday ayaan anigoo ah Nebukadnesar indhaha kor u taagay, waxgarashadaydiina way ii soo noqotay, markaasaan ku mahadnaqay Ka ugu Sarreeya, waanan ammaanay oo ciseeyey kan weligiis nool; waayo, dowladnimadiisu waa dowladnimo aan weligeed dhammaanayn, boqortooyadiisuna waxay raagtaa fac ilaa fac;

“But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.

35 o o kuwa dhulka deggan oo dhammu isaga lama simna, siduu doono ayuu ciidanka samada iyo dadka dhulka degganba ka yeelaa; mana jiro mid gacantiisa joojin karaa ama ku odhan karaa, Maxaad samaynaysaa?

“ All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or say to Him, ‘ What have You done?’

36 I sla markiiba waxgarashadaydii way ii soo noqotay; oo ammaanta boqortooyadayda aawadeed ayaa weynaantaydii iyo dhalaalkaygii iigu soo noqdeen; markaasay waaniyayaashaydii iyo saraakiishaydii i doondooneen, oo boqortooyadaydii baa la ii dhisay, oo derejo aad u weyn baa la iigu daray.

At that time my reason returned to me. And my majesty and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my sovereignty, and surpassing greatness was added to me.

37 H aatan anigoo ah Nebukadnesar waxaan ammaanayaa oo sarraysiinayaa, oo cisaynayaa Boqorka samada, waayo, shuqulladiisa oo dhammu waa run, jidadkiisuna waa xaq; oo kuwa kibirka ku socdana isagaa kara inuu hoosaysiiyo.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”
