Try this:

SELECT
DETAIL.D_ID,
M1.M_Description,
M2.M_Description,
M3.M_Description,
M4.M_Description
FROM
DETAIL
Left JOIN MASTER M1 ON M1.M_ID = DETAIL.D_M_ID_1
Left JOIN MASTER M2 ON M2.M_ID = DETAIL.D_M_ID_2
Left JOIN MASTER M3 ON M3.M_ID = DETAIL.D_M_ID_3
Left JOIN MASTER M4 ON M4.M_ID = DETAIL.D_M_ID_4
WHERE
DETAIL.D_M_ID_1 = :PARAMETER
