¹Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

¹Anoo Boqor Nebukadnesar ah waxaan ku leeyahay dadyowga, iyo quruumaha, iyo kuwa kala afka ah oo dhulka oo dhan deggan, Nabadu ha idinku badato.

²I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.

²Way ila wanaagsanaatay inaan muujiyo calaamadihii iyo yaababkii uu Ilaaha ugu sarreeyaa igu sameeyey.

³How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

³Calaamadihiisu waaweynaa! Yaababkiisuna xoog badanaa! Boqortooyadiisu waa boqortooyo weligeed jiraysa, dowladnimadiisuna waa mid jiraysa fac ilaa fac.

⁴I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:

⁴Anoo Nebukadnesar ah gurigaygaan ku nasanayay, oo waxaan ku raaxaysanayay daartayda weyn.

⁵I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

⁵Waxaan arkay riyo iga cabsiisay, markaasaa fikirradaydii aan sariirtayda la jiifay, iyo waxyaalihii lay tusay iga argaggixiyeen.

⁶Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.

⁶Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan amar ku bixiyey in hortayda la soo taago nimankii xigmadda lahaa oo reer Baabuloon oo dhan, inay ii caddeeyaan fasirkii riyada.

⁷Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

⁷Dabadeedna waxaa ii yimid saaxiriintii, iyo xiddigiyayaashii, iyo kuwii reer Kaldayiin, iyo kuwii wax sheegi jiray; markaasaan riyadii ku hor sheegay; laakiinse fasirkii iima ay caddayn.

⁸But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,

⁸Laakiinse ugu dambaystii waxaa i hor yimid Daanyeel, oo la odhan jiray Beelteshaasar, sida magaca ilaahay, oo ilaahyada quduuskaa ruuxoodu ku jiro; markaasaan riyadii ku hor sheegay isagii, oo ku idhi,

⁹O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

⁹Beelteshaasarow, saaxiriinta madaxdoodiiyow, waan ogahay in ilaahyada quduuskaa ruuxoodii kugu jiro, oo aan qarsoodiina ku dhibin, ee haddaba ii sheeg waxyaalihii aan ku arkay riyadaydii, iyo fasirkoodiiba.

¹⁰Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.

¹⁰Sidan bay ahaayeen waxyaalihii aan arkay anigoo sariirtayda ku jiifa: waxaan arkay geed dhulka ku dhex yaal, dhererkiisuna waa weynaa.

¹¹The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:

¹¹Geedkii waa koray, wuuna xoog badnaa, dhererkiisiina wuxuu gaadhay cirka, waxaana laga arkay meesha dhulka ugu shishaysa.

¹²The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.

¹²Caleemihiisuna way qurxoonaayeen, midhihiisuna way badnaayeen, waxaana ku tiil cunto ku wada filan wax walba. Xayawaankii duurkuna hoostiisay hadhsanayeen, haadka cirkuna waxay ku hoyan jireen laamihiisa, oo wax jidh leh oo dhammuna isagay wax ka cuni jireen.

¹³I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;

¹³Anoo sariirtayda jiifa waxaan ku arkay waxyaalihii lay tusay, mid wax dhawra oo quduus ah oo samada ka soo degay.

¹⁴He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:

¹⁴Markaasuu intuu aad u qayliyey yidhi, Geedka gooya, laamihiisana ka jara, caleemihiisana ka daadiya, midhihiisana kala firdhiyaa; xayawaanku hoostiisa ha ka fogaadeen, haadkuna laamihiisa.

¹⁵Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:

¹⁵Habase yeeshee jiridda iyo xididdadiisa dhulka ku dhex daaya, iyagoo ku xidhan xadhig bir iyo naxaas ah, doogga jilicsan oo berrinka dhexdiisa, oo dharabka samadu ha qoyo, oo qaybtiisuna ha la jirto xayawaanka ku dhex jira doogga dhulka.

¹⁶Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.

¹⁶Qalbigiisuna kan dadka ha ka beddelmo, qalbiga xayawaankana isaga ha la siiyo; toddoba wakhtina ha gudbeen.

¹⁷This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

¹⁷Xukunkii waxaa amray kuwa wax dhawra xaalkuna wuxuu ku jiraa hadalka kuwa quduuska ah, sababtu waa in waxa noolu ogaadaan in Ka ugu Sarreeyaa u taliyo boqortooyada dadka, oo uu siiyo ku alla kii uu doonayo, oo uu madax uga dhigo kan dadka ugu hooseeya.

¹⁸This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

¹⁸Anigoo ah Boqor Nebukadnesar ayaan riyadan arkay, adna Beelteshaasarow, fasirkeeda caddee, waayo, nimanka xigmadda leh ee boqortooyadayda joogay oo dhammu way kari waayeen inay fasirkii ii caddeeyaan; laakiinse adigu waad kartaa, waayo, ruuxii ilaahyada quduuska ah ayaa kugu jira.

¹⁹Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.

¹⁹Markaasaa Daanyeel oo magiciisu ahaa Beelteshaasar, ayaa inta wakhti ah yaabbanaa, fikirradiisiina wuu la welwelay. Markaasaa boqorkii u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Beelteshaasarow, ha ka welwelin riyada ama fasirkeeda. Beelteshaasarna waa jawaabay oo yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, riyadu ha u noqoto kuwa ku neceb, fasirkeeduna ha u noqdo cadaawayaashaada.

²⁰The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

²⁰Geedkii aad aragtay, oo koray, oo xoogga badnaa, oo dhererkiisu cirka gaadhay, ee dhulka oo dhan laga arkayay,

²¹Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:

²¹oo caleemihiisu qurxoonaayeen, midhihiisuna badnaayeen, oo cuntada wax walba ku filanu ku tiil; oo hoostiisa xayawaanka duurku hadhsanayeen, oo laamihiisa haadka cirku rugta ka dhigtay,

²²It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

²²waa adiga oo koray oo xoog badan yeeshay Boqorow, waayo, weynaantaadii way badatay oo cirka gaadhay dowladnimadaaduna meesha dhulka ugu shishaysa.

²³And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

²³Oo waxaad aragtay mid wax dhawra oo quduus ah oo samada ka soo degaya, isagoo leh, Geedka gooya, oo baabbi'iya; habase yeeshee jiridda iyo xididdadiisa dhulka ku daaya, iyagoo ku xidhan xadhig bir iyo naxaas ah, doogga jilicsan oo berrinka dhexdiisa, oo dharabka samadu ha qoyo, qaybtiisuna ha la jirto xayawaanka duurka, jeeray toddoba wakhti gudbaan,

²⁴This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

²⁴fasirkii waa kan, Boqorow, waana amarkii Ka ugu Sarreeya, oo kugu soo degay adoo sayidkayga ah boqorow.

²⁵That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, 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.

²⁵Dadka waa lagaa fogayn doonaa, oo waxaad la joogi doontaa xayawaanka duurka, oo sidii dibi ayaad doog u cuni doontaa, oo waxaa ku qoyn doona dharabka samada, toddoba wakhtina waa ku gudbi doonaan, jeeraad ogaato in Ka ugu Sarreeyaa u taliyo boqortooyada dadka, oo uu siiyo ku alla kii uu doonayo.

²⁶And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.

²⁶Oo sida loo amray in la daayo jiridda iyo xididdada geedka, ayaa boqortooyadaadu hubaal ku noqon doontaa, markaad ogaato inay samooyinku wax u taliyaan.

²⁷Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

²⁷Haddaba Boqorow, taladayda aqbal, dembiyadaadana xaqnimo ku jebi, xumatooyinkaagana ku jebi naxariista aad masaakiinta u naxariisatid si ay xasilloonaantaadu u sii raagto.

²⁸All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

²⁸Waxyaalahan oo dhammu waxay ku dheceen Boqor Nebukadnesar.

²⁹At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

²⁹Laba iyo toban bilood dabadoodna wuxuu dhex socday gurigii boqornimada ee reer Baabuloon.

³⁰The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

³⁰Markaasaa boqorkii hadlay oo yidhi, Sow tanu ma aha Baabuloontii weynayd, oo aan u dhisay meel boqornimadu rug u leedahay, oo aan ammaanta weynaantayda ugu dhisay xoogga itaalkayga?

³¹While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

³¹Intii hadalkaasu weli boqorka afkiisii ku jiray ayaa cod samada ka dhawaaqay, oo yidhi, Boqor Nebukadnesarow, adaa lagula hadlayaa, boqortooyadii waa kaa tagtay.

³²And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

³²Oo dadka waa lagaa eryi doonaa, oo waxaad la joogi doontaa xayawaanka duurka, oo waxaa lagaa dhigi doonaa inaad doog u cunto sidii dibi, toddoba wakhtina way ku gudbi doonaan, jeeraad ogaato in Ka ugu Sarreeyaa u taliyo boqortooyada dadka, oo uu siiyo ku alla kii uu doonayo.

³³The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

³³Oo isla saacaddiiba waxyaalihii waa ku dheceen Nebukadnesar; kolkaasaa dadkii laga eryay, sidii dibina doog buu u cunay, jidhkiisiina waxaa qoyay dharabkii samada, ilaa ay timihiisii u bexeen sida baalal gorgor, ciddiyihiisiina sida ciddiyo haadeed.

³⁴And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

³⁴Oo markii wakhtigii dhammaaday ayaan anigoo ah Nebukadnesar indhaha kor u taagay, waxgarashadaydiina way ii soo noqotay, markaasaan ku mahad naqay Ka ugu Sarreeya, waanan ammaanay oo ciseeyey kan weligiis nool; waayo, dowladnimadiisu waa dowladnimo aan weligeed dhammaanayn, boqortooyadiisuna waxay raagtaa fac ilaa fac;

³⁵And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

³⁵oo kuwa dhulka deggan oo dhammu isaga lama simna, siduu doono ayuu ciidanka samada iyo dadka dhulka degganba ka yeelaa; mana jiro mid gacantiisa joojin karaa ama ku odhan karaa, Maxaad samaynaysaa?

³⁶At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

³⁶Isla markiiba waxgarashadaydii way ii soo noqotay; oo ammaanta boqortooyadayda aawadeed ayaa weynaantaydii iyo dhalaalkaygii iigu soo noqdeen; markaasay waaniyayaashaydii iyo saraakiishaydii i doondooneen, oo boqortooyadaydii baa la ii dhisay, oo derejo aad u weyn baa la iigu daray.Haatan anigoo ah Nebukadnesar waxaan ammaanayaa oo sarraysiinayaa, oo cisaynayaa Boqorka samada, waayo, shuqulladiisa oo dhammu waa run, jidadkiisuna waa xaq; oo kuwa kibirka ku socdana isagaa kara inuu hoosaysiiyo.

³⁷Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

³⁷Haatan anigoo ah Nebukadnesar waxaan ammaanayaa oo sarraysiinayaa, oo cisaynayaa Boqorka samada, waayo, shuqulladiisa oo dhammu waa run, jidadkiisuna waa xaq; oo kuwa kibirka ku socdana isagaa kara inuu hoosaysiiyo.
