1 S annaddii 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.

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel saw a dream and visions in his mind as he lay on his bed; then he wrote the dream down and related the following summary of it.

2 D aanyeel wuu hadlay oo yidhi, Waxaan riyadaydii habeennimo ku arkay afartii dabaylood oo samada, oo badda weyn ku soo dhacaysa.

Daniel said, “I was looking in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.

3 O o waxaa baddii ka soo baxay afar bahal oo waaweyn, ee midba kan kale ka duwan yahay.

And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another.

4 M idkii 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 was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man; a human mind also was given to it.

5 O o 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.

And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, ‘Arise, devour much meat!’

6 D abadeedna 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.

After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

7 D abadeedna 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.

After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.

8 W axaan 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 contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts. The Ancient of Days Reigns

9 W axaan 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.

“I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire.

10 O o 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 river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened.

11 W akhtigaas 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.

Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire.

12 O o bahalladii kale ee hadhayna dowladnimadoodii waa laga qaaday, cimrigoodiise waa la dheereeyey ilaa waa iyo wakhti.

As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time. The Son of Man Presented

13 R iyadii 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.

“I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.

14 O o 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. Fasiriddii Riyadii

“And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed. The Vision Interpreted

15 A nigan Daanyeel ahna, ruuxaygu jidhkayguu ku murugaysnaa oo waxyaalihii lay tusayna, way iga argaggixiyeen.

“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me.

16 O o 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 approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things:

17 A fartan bahal oo waaweynaa waa afar boqor, oo dunida ka kici doona.

‘These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth.

18 L aakiinse Ka ugu Sarreeya quduusiintiisa ayaa boqortooyada qaadan doonta, oo waxay yeelan doonaan boqortooyada weligood iyo xataa weligood iyo weligoodba.

But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.’

19 D abadeedna 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 desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet,

20 i yo 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.

and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates.

21 W aan fiiriyey, oo isla geeskaas ayaa quduusiinta la diriray; wuuna ka adkaaday;

I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them

22 i laa uu kii da'da weynaa yimid, oo xukunkii la siiyey quduusiintii Ka ugu Sarreeya, oo uu yimid wakhtigii ay quduusiintu yeelan lahayd boqortooyada.

until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.

23 S idan 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.

“Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it.

24 T obanka 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 the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.

25 O o 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 speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

26 L aakiinse xukunku wuu ahaan doonaa, oo waxaa laga qaadi doonaa dowladnimadiisa, si loo dhammeeyo oo loo baabbi'iyo ilaa ugudambaysta.

But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever.

27 M arkaasaa 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 the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.’

28 W aa kan xaalka dabaadigiisii. Aniga Daanyeel ah, fikirradaydu aad bay iiga argaggixiyeen, wejigaygiina waa beddelmay, laakiinse qalbigaygaan ku hayay.

“ At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were greatly alarming me and my face grew pale, but I kept the matter to myself.”
