¹Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to 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.

²It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked 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 my 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 on 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 to 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 enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.

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 I told the dream before him, 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,

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

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 my head on my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height 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 its height reached to the sky, and its sight 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 of it were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all: the animals of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from 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 on my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from the sky.

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, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the animals get away from under it, and the fowls from its 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 its 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 the sky: and let his portion be with the animals 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 an animal’s heart be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.

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

¹⁷The sentence 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 rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will, and sets up over it the lowest 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; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

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 stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, Belteshazzar, don’t let the dream, or the interpretation, trouble you. Belteshazzar answered, My lord, the dream be to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries.

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 you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the sky, and its sight 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 beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky 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 you, O king, that are grown and become strong; for your greatness is grown, and reaches to the sky, and your 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.

²³Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its 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 the sky: and let his portion be with the animals of the field, until 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 it is the decree of the Most High, which has come on my lord the king:

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

²⁵that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever 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.

²⁶Whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be sure to you, after that you shall 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.

²⁷Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.

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 on the king Nebuchadnezzar.

²⁸Waxyaalahan oo dhammu waxay ku dheceen Boqor Nebukadnesar.

²⁹At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.

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

³⁰The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory 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 the sky, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you:

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

³²and you shall be driven from men; and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field; you shall be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever 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 on Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until his hair was 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.

³⁴At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom 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;

³⁵All 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 none can stay his hand, or ask him, What are you doing?

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 understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me; and my counselors and my lords sought to me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to 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 honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who 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.
