Daniel 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar, the king, to all peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in the whole world, may peace be increased with you.
Inwaragawag ni Ari Nebucadnesar daytoy a bilin kadagiti amin a tattao, nasion, ken kadagiti pagsasao nga agnananed iti rabaw ti daga: “Adda koma kappia kadakayo.
2 The supreme God has accomplished signs and wonders with me. Therefore, it has pleased me to proclaim
Kasla nasayaat kaniak nga ibaga kadakayo ti maipapan kadagiti pagilasinan ken kadagiti nakaskasdaaw nga inaramid ti Kangangatoan kaniak.
3 his signs, which are great, and his wonders, which are mighty. For his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power continues from generation to generation.
Anian a naindaklan dagiti pagilasinanna, ket anian a nagbileg dagiti nakaskasdaaw nga inaramidna! Ti pagarianna ket agnanayon a pagarian, ken agpaut ti panagturayna manipud iti maysa a henerasion agingga iti sumarsaruno a henerasion.”
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was content in my house and prospering in my palace.
Siak, a ni Nebucadnesar ket agnanaedak a siraragsak iti balayko ket ragragsakek ti kinarang-ay iti palasiok.
5 I saw a dream that terrified me, and my thoughts on my bed and the visions in my head disturbed me.
Ngem pinagbutengnak ti maysa a tagtagainepko. Bayat a nakaiddaak sadiay, riniribuknak dagiti ladawan a nakitak ken dagiti sirmata iti panunotko.
6 And so a decree was established by me, that all of the wise men of Babylon should be brought in before me, and that they should reveal to me the answer to the dream.
Isu nga imbilinko nga iyegda iti sangoanak dagiti amin a lallaki ti Babilonia nga addaan iti kinasirib tapno mailawlawagda kaniak ti kaipapanan ti tagtagainep.
7 Then the seers, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers entered, and I explained about the dream in their presence, but they did not reveal its answer to me.
Ket immay dagiti salamangkero, dagiti mangibagbaga a kabaelanda iti makisarita kadagiti natay, dagiti nasirib a lallaki ken dagiti astrologo. Imbagak kadakuada ti tagtagainep, ngem saanda a maipalawag kaniak ti kaipapanan daytoy.
8 And then their colleague came in before me, Daniel, (whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, ) who has the spirit of the holy gods within his very self, and I told the dream directly to him.
Ngem kamaudiananna, simrek ni Daniel— ti napanaganan iti Beltesazar a kanagnagan ti diosko, ken adda kenkuana ti espiritu dagiti nasantoan a didios. Imbagak kenkuana ti tagtagainep.
9 Belteshazzar, leader of the seers, since I know that you have in you the spirit of the holy gods, and that no mystery is unreachable to you, explain to me the visions of my dreams, which I saw, and the solution to them.
“Beltesazar a kangatoan kadagiti salamangkero, ammok nga adda kenka ti espiritu dagiti nasantoan a didios ket awan iti nakaskasdaaw a narigat unay kenka. Ibagam kaniak ti nakitak iti tagtagainepko ken ti kayat a sawen daytoy.
10 This was the vision of my head on my bed. I looked, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth, and its height was exceedingly great.
Dagitoy dagiti nakitak iti panunotko bayat nga agid-iddaak; “Kimmitaak ket adda maysa a kayo iti tengnga ti daga, ket kasta unay iti kangatona.
11 The tree was great and strong, and its height reached up to heaven. It could be seen all the way to the ends of the entire earth.
Dimmakkel ti kayo ket nagbalin a natibker. Dimmanon ti tuktokna kadagiti langit, ken makita daytoy kadagiti pungto ti entero a daga.
12 Its leaves were very beautiful, and its fruit was very abundant, and in it was food for the whole world. Under it, animals and beasts were dwelling, and in its branches, the birds of the sky were sheltered, and from it, all flesh was fed.
Nalangto dagiti bulongna, adu dagiti bungana, ket taraon daytoy para iti amin. Naglinong dagiti atap nga ayup iti sirokna. ken agnanaed kadagiti sangana dagiti billit iti tangatang. Nangan manipud iti bungana dagiti amin a sibibiag a parsua.
13 I saw in the vision of my head upon my blanket, and behold, a watcher and a holy one descended from heaven.
Nakitak iti panunotko bayat nga agid-iddaak, ket maysa a nasantoan a mensahero ti bimmaba manipud kadagiti langit.
14 He cried out loudly, and he said this: “Cut down the tree and prune its branches; shake off its leaves and scatter its fruits; let flee the beasts, which are under it, and the birds from its branches.
Impukkawna ket kinunana, Pukanenyo ti kayo ket salingsinganyo dagiti sangana, ikkatenyo dagiti bulongna ket iwarayo dagiti bungana. Bay-anyo a pumanaw dagiti ayup iti sirokna ken tumayab nga umadayo dagiti billit manipud kadagiti sangana.
15 Nevertheless, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with a band of iron and brass among the plants, which are close by, and let it be touched by the dew of heaven, and let its place be with the wild animals among the plants of the earth.
Ibatiyo iti daga ti pungdol a nagkapetan dagiti ramutna, pulipolanyo iti landok ken bronse, iti tengnga dagiti naganus a ruot iti kataltalonan. Bay-anyo a mabasa daytoy iti linnaaw manipud kadagiti langit. Bay-anyo a makipagnaed kadagiti ayup ken kadagiti mula iti daga.
16 Let his heart be changed from being human, and let the heart of a wild animal be given to him, and let seven periods of time pass over him.
Bay-anyo nga agbaliw ti panunotna manipud iti panunot ti tao, ket agbalin koma a kasla panunot ti ayup ti panunotna agingga nga aglabas iti pito a tawen.
17 This is the decree from the judgment of the watchers, and the decision and proclamation of the holy ones, until the living shall know that the Supreme One is ruler in the kingdom of men, and that he will give it to whomever he wills, and he will appoint the lowest man over it.”
Daytoy a pangngeddeng ket babaen iti bilin nga impadamag ti mensahero. Maysa daytoy a pangngeddeng nga inaramid dagiti nasantoan tapno maammoan dagiti sibibiag nga agturturay ti Kangangatoan kadagiti pagarian dagiti tattao ket iyawatna ida iti siasinoman a tarigagayanna a mangituray kadakuada, uray kadagiti kanunumoan a tattao.'
18 I, king Nebuchadnezzar, saw this dream. And so you, Belteshazzar, must quickly explain to me the interpretation because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to declare the meaning of it to me. But you are able because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
Siak, a ni Ari Nebucadnesar, daytoy ti natagtagainepko. Ita sika, Beltesazar, ibagam kaniak ti kaipapananna, gapu ta awan kadagiti nasirib a lallaki iti pagariak ti makaibaga kaniak iti kaipapanan daytoy. Ngem kabaelam nga aramiden dayta, gapu ta adda kenka ti espiritu dagiti nasantoan a didios.”
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. But the king responded, saying, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream and its interpretation disturb you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, the dream is for those who hate you, and its interpretation may be for your enemies.
Ket napaulimek iti apagbiit ni Daniel a napanaganan met iti Beltesazar, ken nagdanag isuna. Kinuna ti ari, “Beltesazar, saannaka koma a pagdanagen ti tagtagainep wenno ti kaipapanan daytoy.” Insungbat ni Beltesazar, “O apok, para koma kadagiti manggurgura kenka ti tagtagainep; para koma kadagiti kabusormo ti kaipapanan daytoy.
20 The tree that you saw was lofty and strong; its height reached toward heaven, and it could be seen throughout the whole world.
Ti kayo a nakitam— a dimmakkel ken nagbalin a natibker, ken ti tuktokna ket nakadanon kadagiti langit, ken makita agingga kadagiti pungto ti daga—
21 And its branches were very beautiful, and its fruit very abundant, and in it was food for all. Under it, dwelt the beasts of the field, and in its branches, the birds of the air stayed.
a nalangto dagiti bulongna, ken adu dagiti bungana, tapno kadagitoy adda taraon para iti amin, ken aglinong iti sirokna dagiti ayup iti kataltalonan, ken agnaed iti daytoy dagiti billit iti tangatang—
22 It is you, O king, who has been greatly esteemed, and you have grown strong. And you have increased your power, and it reaches towards heaven, and your rule is to the ends of the whole earth.
daytoy a kayo ket sika, O ari, dimmakkelka a natibker. Ad-adda a bimmilegka ket dumanon ti kinabilegmo kadagiti langit, ken dumanon ti turaymo agingga kadagiti pungto ti daga.
23 Yet the king also saw a watcher and a holy one descend from heaven and say: ‘Cut down the tree and scatter it; however, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass, among the surrounding plants, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, until seven periods of time pass over him.’
Nakakitaka O ari, iti maysa a nasantoan a mensahero a bumabbaba manipud langit, a kunana, “Pukanenyo ti kayo ket dadaelenyo daytoy ngem ibatiyo ti pungdol a nagkapetan dagiti ramutna iti daga, pulipolanyo daytoy iti landok ken bronse, iti tengnga ti naganus a ruot iti kataltalonan. Bay-anyo a mabasa iti linnaaw manipud kadagiti langit. Bay-anyo a makipagnaed isuna kadagiti atap nga ayup kadagiti kataltalonan agingga nga aglabas ti pito a tawen.'
24 This is the interpretation of the judgment of the Most High, which has reached my lord, the king.
Kastoy ti kaipapananna O ari. Maysa a bilin daytoy ti Kangangatoan a dimmanon kenka, O apok nga ari.
25 They will expel you from among men, and your dwelling will be with the beasts and the wild animals, and you will eat hay like an ox, and you will be drenched with the dew of heaven. Likewise, seven periods of time will pass over you, until you know that the Supreme One rules over the kingdom of men, and he gives it to whomever he wills.
Mapapanawkanto iti ayan dagiti tattao, ket agnaedkanto a kaduam dagiti ayup kadagiti kataltalonan. Mangankanto kadagiti ruot a kasla iti maysa a baka, ket mabasakanto iti linnaaw manipud kadagiti langit, ket aglabasto ti pito a tawen agingga a mabigbigmo nga agturturay ti Kangangatoan kadagiti pagarian dagiti tattao ken iyaw-awatna ida iti siasinoman a tarigagayanna.
26 But, since he commanded that the stump of its roots, that is, of the tree, should be left behind, your kingdom will be left for you, after you have realized that power is from divinity.
Kas iti naibilin a mabati ti pungdol ti ramut ti kayo, iti kastoy a wagas, maisublinto kenka ti pagariam inton tiempo a maammoam nga agturturay ti langit.
27 Because of this, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you. And redeem your sins with alms, and your iniquities with mercy towards the poor. Perhaps he will forgive your offenses.”
Ngarud, O ari, makaay-ayo koma kenka ti balakadko. Isardengmon ti agbasbasol ket aramidem no ania ti umno. Agbabawika kadagiti basbasolmo babaen iti panangipakitam iti asi kadagiti maparparigat, ket mabalin a mapabayag ti kinarang-aymo.”
28 All these things came upon king Nebuchadnezzar.
29 After the end of twelve months, he was taking a walk in the palace of Babylon.
Napasamak amin dagitoy kenni Ari Nebucadnesar kalpasan ti sangapulo ket dua a bulan. Magmagna isuna iti palasio ti ari idiay Babilonia.
30 And the king spoke out loud, saying, “Isn’t this the great Babylon, which I have built, as the home of the kingdom, by the strength of my power and in the glory of my excellence?”
Kuna ti ari, “Saan kadi a daytoy ti nabileg a Babilonia, nga imbangonko para iti naarian a pagtaengak, para iti dayag ti kinatan-okko?”
31 And while the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice rushed down from heaven, “To you, O king Nebuchadnezzar, it is said: ‘Your kingdom will be taken away from you,
Kabayatan nga ibagbaga pay laeng ti ari daytoy, maysa a timek ti nagtaud iti langit: “Ari Nebucadnesar, naipakaammon kenka a daytoy a pagarian ket saanmon a kukua.
32 and they will expel you from among men, and your dwelling will be with the beasts and the wild animals. You will eat hay like an ox, and seven times will pass over you, until you know that the Supreme One rules in the kingdom of men, and he gives it to whomever he wills.’”
Mapapanawkanto manipud iti ayan dagiti tattao, ket makipagtaengkanto kadagiti atap nga ayup kadagiti kataltalonan. Mangankanto kadagiti ruot a kasla iti maysa a baka. Pito a tawen ti aglabas agingga a mabigbigmo a ti Kangangatoan ti agturturay kadagiti pagarian dagiti tattao ken iyaw-awatna ida iti siasinoman a tarigagayanna.”
33 The same hour, the sentence was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven away from among men, and he ate hay like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until his hair increased like the feathers of eagles, and his nails like those of birds.
Naipatungpal a dagus daytoy a bilin a maibusor kenni Nebucadnesar. Napapanaw isuna iti ayan dagiti tattao. Nangan isuna iti ruot a kasla iti maysa baka, ket nabasa ti bagina iti linnaaw manipud kadagiti langit. Immatiddog ti buokna a kas kadagiti dutdot ti agila, ken nagbalin a kasla kuko dagiti billit dagiti kukona.
34 Therefore, at the end of these days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my mind was restored to me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and glorified him who lives forever. For his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is from generation to generation.
Ket iti pagpatinggaan dagiti al-aldaw, Siak, a ni Nebucadnesar, intangadko dagiti matak iti langit ket nagsubli kaniak ti kinalimbong ti panunotko. “Dinaydayawko ti Kangangatoan, ket rinaem ken dinayawko ti agbibiag iti agnanayon. Ta ti panagturayna ket awan patinggana a panagturay, ken agpaut ti pagarianna kadagiti amin a henerasion.
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him. For he acts according to his own will, with the inhabitants of the earth just as with the holy inhabitants of heaven. And there is no one who can resist his hand, or say to him, “Why have you done this?”
Imbilangna nga awan serserbi dagiti agnanaed iti daga; ar-aramidenna kadagiti armada ti langit ken kadagiti agnanaed iti daga aniaman a maikari iti pagayatanna. Awan iti siasinoman a makapasardeng kenkuana wenno mangkarit kenkuana. Awan ti siasinoman a makaibaga kenkuana, 'Apay nga inaramidmo daytoy?'”
36 At the same time, my mind returned to me, and I arrived at the honor and glory of my kingdom. And my appearance was given back to me. And my nobles and my magistrates needed me. And I was restored to my kingdom, and even greater majesty was added to me.
Iti isu met laeng a tiempo a nagsubli kaniak ti kinalimbong ti panunotko, naisubli kaniak ti kinatan-ok ken kinadayagko para iti dayag ti pagariak. Binirok dagiti mammagbagak ken dagiti ofisialko ti paborko. Naisubliak iti tronok, ket ad-adda a bimmilegak.
37 Therefore I, Nebuchadnezzar, now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven, because all his works and the judgments of his way are true, and those who go forth in arrogance, he is able to bring low.
Ita, siak, a ni Nebucadnesar, dayawek, itan-okko, ken raemek ti Ari ti langit, ta nalinteg dagiti amin nga aramidna, ken nalinteg dagiti wagasna. Kabaelanna nga ipababa dagiti magna iti bukodda a kinatangsit.
