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

¹`Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be great!

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

²The signs and wonders that God Most High hath done with me, it is good before me to shew.

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

³His signs how great! and His wonders how mighty! His kingdom [is] a kingdom age-during, and His rule [is] with generation and generation.

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

⁴`I, Nebuchadnezzar, have been at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:

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

⁵a dream I have seen, and it maketh me afraid, and the conceptions on my bed, and the visions of my head, do trouble me.

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

⁶And by me a decree is made, to cause all the wise men of Babylon to come up before me, that the interpretation of the dream they may cause me to know.

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.

⁷Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me.

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,

⁸And at last come up before me hath Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar — according to the name of my god — and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I have told:

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.

⁹`O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, as I have known that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret doth press thee, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation, tell.

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

¹⁰As to the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and lo, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height [is] great:

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

¹¹become great hath the tree, yea, strong, and its height doth reach to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the whole land;

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.

¹²its leaves [are] fair, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it: under it take shade doth the beast of the field, and in its boughs dwell do the birds of the heavens, and of it fed are all flesh.

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

¹³`I was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and lo, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down.

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

¹⁴He is calling mightily, and thus hath said, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and the birds from off its branches;

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.

¹⁵but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts [is] his portion in the herb of the earth;

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

¹⁶his heart from man`s is changed, and the heart of a beast is given to him, and seven times pass over him;

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.

¹⁷by the decree of the sifters [is] the sentence, and by the saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it, and the lowest of men He doth raise up over it.

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.

¹⁸`This dream I have seen, I king Nebuchadnezzar; and thou, O Belteshazzar, the interpretation tell, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and thou [art] able, for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee.

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.

¹⁹`Then Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, hath been astonished about one hour, and his thoughts do trouble him; the king hath answered and said, O Belteshazzar, let not the dream and its interpretation trouble thee. Belteshazzar hath answered and said, My lord, the dream — to those hating thee, and its interpretation — to thine enemies!

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

²⁰The tree that thou hast seen, that hath become great and strong, and its height doth reach to the heavens, and its vision to all the land,

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,

²¹and its leaves [are] fair, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it, under it dwell doth the beast of the field, and on its boughs sit do the birds of the heavens.

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

²²`Thou it [is], O king, for thou hast become great and mighty, and thy greatness hath become great, and hath reached to the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth;

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,

²³and that which the king hath seen — a sifter, even a holy one, coming down from the heavens, and he hath said, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens it is wet, and with the beast of the field [is] his portion, till that seven times pass over him.

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

²⁴`This [is] the interpretation, O king, and the decree of the Most High it [is] that hath come against my lord the king:

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.

²⁵and they are driving thee away from men, and with the beast of the field is thy dwelling, and the herb as oxen they do cause thee to eat, and by the dew of the heavens they are wetting thee, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it.

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

²⁶And that which they said — to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom for thee abideth, after that thou knowest that the heavens are ruling.

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

²⁷`Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and thy sins by righteousness break off, and thy perversity by pitying the poor, lo, it is a lengthening of thine ease.

²⁸Waxyaalahan oo dhammu waxay ku dheceen Boqor Nebukadnesar.

²⁸`All — hath come on Nebuchadnezzar the king.

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

²⁹`At the end of twelve months, on the palace of the kingdom of Babylon he hath been walking;

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?

³⁰the king hath answered and said, Is not this that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of mine honour?

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

³¹`While the word is [in] the king`s mouth a voice from the heavens hath fallen: To thee they are saying: O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom hath passed from thee,

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.

³²and from men they are driving thee away, and with the beast of the field [is] thy dwelling, the herb as oxen they do cause thee to eat, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it.

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.

³³`In that hour the thing hath been fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar, and from men he is driven, and the herb as oxen he eateth, and by the dew of the heavens his body is wet, till that his hair as eagles` hath become great, and his nails as birds.`

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;

³⁴`And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, mine eyes to the heavens have lifted up, and mine understanding unto me returneth, and the Most High I have blessed, and the Age-during Living One I have praised and honoured, whose dominion [is] a dominion age-during, and His kingdom with generation and generation;

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?

³⁵and all who are dwelling on the earth as nothing are reckoned, and according to his will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that doth clap with his hand, and saith to Him, What hast Thou done?

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.

³⁶`At that time my understanding doth return unto me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my brightness doth return unto me, and to me my counsellors and my great men do seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant greatness hath been added to me.

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.

³⁷`Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and honouring the King of the heavens, for all His works [are] truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.`
