Daniel 4
1 Nabuchodonosor the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues, that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied unto you.
Daga sarki Nebukadnezzar. Zuwa ga mutane da al’ummai da kuma kowane yare, da suke zama a duniya. Salama mai yawa ta tabbata a gare ku!
2 The most high God hath wrought signs and wonders toward me. It hath seemed good to me therefore to publish
Ina murna in shaida muku game da alamu da al’ajabai waɗanda Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka ya yi ta wurina.
3 His signs, because they are great: and his wonders, because they are mighty: and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, I and his power to all generations.
Alamunsa da girma suke,
4 I, Nabuchodonosor, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
Ni, Nebukadnezzar, ina zaune a gidana cikin fadata, ina jin daɗi ina bunkasa.
5 I saw a dream that affrighted me: and my thoughts in my bed, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Na yi mafarkin da ya ba ni tsoro. A sa’ad da nake kwance a gadona, siffofi da wahayoyi da suka bi ta cikin tunanina sun firgita ni.
6 Then I set forth a decree, that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought in before me, and that they should shew me the interpretation of the dream.
Don haka na ba da umarni a tattaro dukan masu hikima na Babilon su bayyana a gabana domin su fassara mini mafarkin.
7 Then came in the diviners, the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and I told the dream before them: but they did not shew me the interpretation thereof:
Sa’ad da masu sihiri, da masu dabo, da masanan taurari da masu duba suka zo, na faɗa musu mafarkin, amma ba su iya fassarta mini mafarkin ba.
8 Till their colleague Daniel came in before me, whose name is Baltassar, according to the name of my god, who hath in him the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him.
A ƙarshe, sai Daniyel ya zo gabana na kuma faɗa masa mafarkin. (Ana ce da shi Belteshazar, wanda aka ba shi sunan allahna kuma ruhun alloli masu tsarki suna a bisansa.)
9 Baltassar, prince of the diviners, because I know that thou hast in thee the spirit of the holy gods, and that no secret is impossible to thee: tell me the visions of my dreams that I have seen, and the interpretation of them.
Na ce, “Belteshazar, shugaban masu sihiri, na san ruhun alloli suna a kanka, babu wani asirin da zai fi ƙarfin ganewarka. Ga dai mafarkin da na yi, sai ka fassara mini.
10 This was the vision of my head in my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was exceeding great.
Waɗannan su ne wahayin da na gani a lokacin da nake kwance a gadona, na duba, a gabana kuwa ga wani itace a kafe a tsakiyar duniya, yana da tsawo ƙwarai.
11 The tree was great, and strong: and the height thereof reached unto heaven: the sight thereof was even to the ends of all the earth.
Itacen ya yi girma ya kuma yi ƙarfi, har tsayinsa ya taɓa sarari sama; ana iya ganinsa a ko’ina a duniya.
12 Its leaves were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much: and in it was food for all: under it dwelt cattle, and beasts, and in the branches thereof the fowls of the air had their abode: and all flesh did eat of it.
Ganyayensa suna da kyau, yana da’ya’ya jingim, abinci kuma domin kowa da kowa. A ƙarƙashinsa namun jeji suke samun wurin hutawa, kuma tsuntsayen sama suna zaune a bisa rassansa; daga cikinsa kowace halitta take cin abinci.
13 I saw in the vision of my head upon my bed, and behold a watcher, and a holy one came down from heaven.
“A cikin wahayin da gani sa’ad da nake kwance a kan gadona, Na duba, a gabana kuwa ga wani ɗan saƙo, mai tsarki, yana saukowa daga sama.
14 He cried aloud, and said thus: Cut down the tree, and chop off the branches thereof: shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruits: let the beasts fly away that are under it, and the birds from its branches.
Sai ya yi kira da babbar murya ya ce, ‘A sare itacen a kuma yayyanka rassansa; a karkaɗe ganyensa a kuma warwatsar da’ya’yansa. Bari dabbobi su tashi daga ƙarƙashinsa da kuma tsuntsayen da suke a rassansa.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be tied with a band of iron, and of brass, among the grass, that is without, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the wild beasts in the grass of the earth.
Amma a bar kututturen da kuma saiwoyinsa, a daure shi da ƙarfe da kuma tagulla, a bar shi a cikin ƙasa, a cikin ciyayin filaye. “‘Bari yă jiƙu da raɓar, bari yă zauna cikin dabbobi tare da tsire-tsiren duniya.
16 Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given him; and let seven times pass over him.
Bari a canja tunaninsa irin na mutane a ba shi tunani irin na dabbobi, har sau bakwai su wuce a kansa.
17 This is the decree by the sentence of the watchers, and the word And demand of the holy ones; till the living know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men; and he will give it to whomsoever it shall please him, and he will appoint the basest man over it.
“‘An sanar da wannan matsayi ne ta bakin’yan saƙo, masu tsarki ne kuwa suka sanar da hukuncin, domin masu rai su sani Mafi Ɗaukaka ne mai iko duka a bisa kowane mulkin mutane, yakan kuma ba wa duk wanda ya ga dama, yakan sanya talaka yă zama sarki.’
18 I king Nabuchodonosor saw this dream: thou, therefore, O Baltassar, tell me quickly the interpretation: for all the wise men of my kingdom axe not able to declare the meaning of it to me: but thou art able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
“Wannan shi ne mafarkin da ni, Nebukadnezzar, na yi. Yanzu Belteshazar, sai ka faɗa mini abin da yake nufi, domin babu wani a cikin masu hikima a mulkina da ya iya fassara mini shi. Amma za ka iya, domin ruhun alloli masu tsarki yana a bisanka.”
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Baltassar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour: and his thoughts troubled him. But the king answering, said: Baltassar, let not the dream and the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Baltassar answered, and said: My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thy enemies.
Sai Daniyel (wanda ake kira Belteshazar) ya tsaya zugum na ɗan lokaci, tunaninsa ya ba shi tsoro. Saboda haka sarki ya ce, “Belteshazar, kada ka bar mafarkin ko ma’anarsa ta tayar maka da hankali.” Belteshazar ya amsa ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, in dai har mafarkin zai tsaya a kan abokan gābanka da ma’anarsa kuma ta faɗa kan maƙiyan!
20 The tree which thou sawest which was high and strong, whose height reached to the skies, and the sight thereof into all tire earth:
Itacen da ka gani; wanda ya yi girma da ƙarfe, da tsayinsa ya taɓa sararin sama, wanda ana ganinsa ko’ina a duniya,
21 And the branches thereof were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much, and in it was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and the birds of the air had their abode in its branches.
wanda ganyayensa masu kyau ne yana da’ya’yan itace da yawa, wanda yake ba da abinci ga duka, yana ba da wurin hutu ga namun jeji, kuma rassansa suna ɗauke da sheƙar tsuntsayen sama.
22 It is thou, O king, who art grown great and become mighty: for thy greatness hath grown, and hath reached to heaven, and thy power unto the ends of the earth.
Ya sarki kai ne itacen nan! Ka yi girma da ƙarfi; girmanka kuma ta kai har sama, mulkinka kuma ya kai ko’ina a duniya.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher, and a holy one come down from heaven, and say: Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass among the grass without, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, till seven times pass over him.
“Ya sarki ka ga ɗan saƙon mai tsarkin nan, yana saukowa daga sama yana cewa, ‘A sare itacen a hallaka shi, amma a bar kututturensa daure da ƙarfe da tagulla, a bar shi can a ɗanyar ciyawar filaye, ya jiƙe da raɓa, ya zauna tare da namun jeji har shekara bakwai.’
24 This is the interpretation of the sentence of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king.
“Ga fassarar, ya sarki, wannan ita ce doka wadda Mafi Ɗaukaka ya bayar a kan ranka yă daɗe, sarkina.
25 They shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and with wild beasts, and thou shalt eat grass as an ox, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven: and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
Za a kore ka daga cikin mutane, za ka kuma zauna cikin namun jeji; za ka ci ciyawa kamar shanu, za ka jiƙe da raɓa har shekara bakwai cif sa’an nan za ka sani cewa Mafi Ɗaukaka ne mai iko duka a kan dukan mulkoki a duniya, yake kuma ba da mulki ga duk wanda ya ga dama.
26 But whereas he commanded, that the stump of the roots thereof, that is, of the tree, should be left: thy kingdom shall remain to thee after thou shalt have known that power is from heaven.
Umarni na barin kututturen itacen da saiwoyinsa yana nufin cewa za a maido maka da mulkinka a lokacin da ka gane cewa Mai sama ne yake mulki.
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and redeem thou thy sins with alms, and thy iniquities with works of mercy to the poor: perhaps he will forgive thy offences.
Saboda haka, ya sarki, ina roƙonka ka karɓi shawarar da zan ba ka; ka furta zunubanka ta wurin yin abin da yake daidai. Ka bar muguntarka, ka aikata alheri ga waɗanda ake wulaƙantawa, wataƙila za a ƙara tsawon kwanakinka da salama.”
28 All these things came upon king Nabuchodonosor.
Duk wannan kuwa ya faru da sarki Nebukadnezzar.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking in the palace of Babylon.
Bayan wata goma sha biyu, a sa’ad da sarki yake takawa a bisan saman ɗakin fadar Babilon,
30 And the king answered, and said: Is not this the great Babylon, which I have built to be the seat of the kingdom, by the strength of my power, and in the glory of my excellence?
sai ya ce, “Ba wannan ita ce Babilon babba da na gina domin wurin zaman sarautar Babilon, da ikona kuma domin ɗaukakar darajata ba?”
31 And while the word was yet in the king’s mouth, a voice came down from heaven: To thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, it is said: Thy kingdom shall pass from thee,
Tun kalmomin suna cikin bakinsa sai ya ji murya daga sama tana cewa, “Wannan shi ne abin da aka zartar a kanka, Sarki Nebukadnezzar. An karɓe ikon mulkinka.
32 And they shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and wild beasts: thou shalt eat grass like an ox, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
Za a kore ka daga cikin mutane za ka kuma yi rayuwa tare da namun jeji. Za ka ci ciyawa kamar sa har shekara bakwai cif, sa’an nan za ka gane Mafi Ɗaukaka ne mai iko duka a kan dukan mulkoki a duniya, yake kuma ba da mulki ga duk wanda ya ga dama.”
33 The same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor, and he was driven away from among men, and did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till his hairs grew like the feathers of eagles, and his nails like birds’ claws.
Nan da nan abin da aka faɗa a kan Nebukadnezzar tabbatarsa ya cika. Aka kore shi daga cikin mutane ya kuma shiga cin ciyawa kamar shanu. Jikinsa ya jiƙe da raɓa, har gashinsa ya yi tsawo kamar fikafikan gaggafa, kumbarsa kuma suka yi tsawo kamar na tsuntsu.
34 Now at the end of the days, I Nabuchodonosor lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my sense was restored to me: and I blessed the most High, and I praised and glorified him that liveth for ever: for his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is to all generations.
A ƙarshen waɗannan kwanaki, ni, Nebukadnezzar, na ɗaga idanuna sama, sai hankalina ya komo mini. Na kuwa yabi Maɗaukaki, na girmama shi, na ɗaukaka shi wanda yake rayayye har abada.
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him: for he doth according to his will, I as well with the powers of heaven, as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that can resist his hand, and say to him: Why hast thou done it?
Dukan mutanen duniya
36 At the same time my sense returned to me, and I came to the honour and glory of my kingdom: and my shape returned to me: and my nobles, and my magistrates sought for me, and I was restored to my kingdom: and greater majesty was added to me.
A lokacin nan hankalina ya komo mini, sai aka mayar mini da masarautata mai daraja, da martabata, da girmana.’Yan majalisata da fadawana suka nemo ni. Aka maido ni kan gadon sarautata da daraja fiye da ta dā.
37 Therefore I Nabuchodonosor do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Yanzu ni, Nebukadnezzar, ina yabon Sarkin sama, ina waƙa ina kuma darjanta shi, saboda dukan abin da ya yi mini, mai kyau ne kuma dukan hanyoyinsa gaskiya ne. Kuma duk masu tafiya da girman kai zai ƙasƙantar da su.
