Daniel 4

1 King Nabuchodonosor to all nations, tribes, and tongues, who dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to 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 It seemed good to me to declare to you the signs and wonders which the most high God has wrought with me,

Kasla nasayaat kaniak nga ibaga kadakayo ti maipapan kadagiti pagilasinan ken kadagiti nakaskasdaaw nga inaramid ti Kangangatoan kaniak.

3 how great and mighty [they are]: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, 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 thriving in my house, and prospering.

Siak, a ni Nebucadnesar ket agnanaedak a siraragsak iti balayko ket ragragsakek ti kinarang-ay iti palasiok.

5 I saw a vision, and it terrified me, and I was troubled on 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 And I made a decree to bring in before me all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to 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 So the enchanters, magicians, soothsayers, [and] Chaldeans came in: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to 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 until Daniel came, whose name is Baltasar, according to the name of my God, who has within him the Holy Spirit of God; to whom I said,

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 O Baltasar, chief of the enchanters, of whom I know that the Holy Spirit of God is in you, and no mystery is too hard for you, hear the vision of my dream which I had, and tell me the interpretation of it.

“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 I had a vision upon my bed; and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was 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 grew large and strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its extent to the extremity of the whole 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 fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it was meat for all; and under it the wild beasts of the field took shelter, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches of it, and all flesh was fed 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 night vision upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven and cried aloud, and thus he said,

Nakitak iti panunotko bayat nga agid-iddaak, ket maysa a nasantoan a mensahero ti bimmaba manipud kadagiti langit.

14 Cut down the tree, and pluck off its branches, and shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the wild beasts be removed from 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 Only leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and [bind it] with an iron and brass band; and it shall lie in the grass that is without and in the dew of heaven, and its portion [shall be] with the wild beasts in the grass of the field.

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 His heart shall be changed from that of man, and the heart of a wild beast shall be given to him; and seven times shall 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 The matter is by the decree of the watcher, and the demand is a word of the holy ones; that the living may known that the Lord is most high [over] the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whoever he shall please, and will set up over it that which is set at nothing of men.

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 This is the vision which I king Nabuchodonosor saw: and do you, Baltasar, declare the interpretation, for none of the wise men of my kingdom are able to show me the interpretation of it: but you, Daniel, are able; for the Holy Spirit of God 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 is Baltasar, was amazed about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. And Baltasar answered and said, [My] lord, let the dream be to them that hate you, and the interpretation of it to 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 which you saw, that grew large and strong, whose height reached to the sky and its extent to all the 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 whose leaves were flourishing, and its fruit abundant, (and it was meat for all; under it the wild beasts lodged, and the birds of the sky took shelter 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 is yourself, O king; for you are grown great and powerful, and your greatness has increased and reached to heaven, and your dominion to 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 coming down from heaven, and he said, Strip the tree, and destroy it; only leave the stump of its roots in the ground, and [bind it] with a band of iron and brass; and it shall lie in the grass that is without, and in the dew of heaven, and its portion shall be with wild beasts, until seven times have passed over it;

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 it, O king, and it is a decree of the Most High, which has 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 And they shall drive you forth from men, and your dwelling shall be with wild beasts, and they shall feed you with grass as an ox, and you shall have your lodging under the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, until you known that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and will give it to whom he shall please.

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 And whereas they said, Leave the stumps of the roots of the tree; your kingdom abides [sure] to you from the time that you shall know the power of the heavens.

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 Therefore, O king, let my counsel please you, and atone for your sins by alms, and [your] iniquities by compassion on the poor: it may be God will be longsuffering to your trespasses.

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 After a twelvemonth, as he walked in his palace in Babylon,

Napasamak amin dagitoy kenni Ari Nebucadnesar kalpasan ti sangapulo ket dua a bulan. Magmagna isuna iti palasio ti ari idiay Babilonia.

30 the king answered and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for a royal residence, by the might of my power, for the honor of my glory?

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 While the word was yet in the king's mouth, there came a voice from heaven, [saying], To you, king Nabuchodonosor, they say, The kingdom has departed 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 [shall] drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the wild beasts of the field, and they shall feed you with grass as an ox: and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whoever he shall please.

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 In the same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor: and he was driven forth from men, and he ate grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, until his hairs were grown like lions' [hairs], and his nails as 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 And at the end of the time I Nabuchodonosor lifted up mine eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised him that lives for ever, and gave [him] glory; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [lasts] 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: and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none who shall withstand his power, and say to him, What has you done?

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 reason returned to me, and I came to the honor of my kingdom; and my [natural] form returned to me, and my princes, and my nobles, sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and more abundant 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 Now therefore I Nabuchodonosor praise and greatly exalt and glorify the King of heaven; for all his works are true, and his paths are judgment: and all 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.
