Daniel 4
1 Nabuchodonosor the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues, that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied unto 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 most high God hath wrought signs and wonders toward me. It hath seemed good to me therefore to publish
Kasla nasayaat kaniak nga ibaga kadakayo ti maipapan kadagiti pagilasinan ken kadagiti nakaskasdaaw nga inaramid ti Kangangatoan kaniak.
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.
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, Nabuchodonosor, was at rest in my house, and flourishing 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 affrighted me: and my thoughts in my bed, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Ngem pinagbutengnak ti maysa a tagtagainepko. Bayat a nakaiddaak sadiay, riniribuknak dagiti ladawan a nakitak ken dagiti sirmata iti panunotko.
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.
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
“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 in my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was exceeding 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 the height thereof reached unto heaven: the sight thereof was even to the ends of all the 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 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.
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 bed, and behold a watcher, and a holy one came down from heaven.
Nakitak iti panunotko bayat nga agid-iddaak, ket maysa a nasantoan a mensahero ti bimmaba manipud kadagiti langit.
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.
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 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.
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 man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given him; and let seven times 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 which thou sawest which was high and strong, whose height reached to the skies, and the sight thereof into all tire earth:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 sentence of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king.
Kastoy ti kaipapananna O ari. Maysa a bilin daytoy ti Kangangatoan a dimmanon kenka, O apok nga ari.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Nabuchodonosor.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking 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 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?
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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.
