Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar, and the thing was true, even a great warfare. And he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
Persiahene Kores adedi afe a ɛto so abiɛsa mu no, woyii asɛm bi adi kyerɛɛ Daniel (a na wɔfrɛ no Beltesasar). Na nkra no yɛ nokware, na ɛfa ɔko kɛse bi ho. Onyaa nkra no nkyerɛase wɔ anisoadehu mu.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
Saa bere no, me, Daniel, midii awerɛhow nnaawɔtwe abiɛsa.
3 I ate no pleasant bread. Neither flesh nor wine came into my mouth. Neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Manni aduan pa biara. Nam anaa nsa biara anka mʼano, na mamfa sradehuam ansra kosii nnaawɔtwe abiɛsa no awiei.
4 And in the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
Ɔsram a edi kan no, da a ɛto so aduonu anan, bere a migyina asubɔnten kɛse Tigris konkɔn so no,
5 I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz.
memaa mʼani so na mihuu ɔbarima bi a ofura nweratam. Na ɔbɔ sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa abɔso a efi Ufas wɔ nʼasen mu.
6 Also his body was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Ne nipadua no te sɛ aboɔdemmo. Nʼanim te sɛ anyinam, nʼani te sɛ ogyatɛn a ɛredɛw, ne nsa ne nʼanan te sɛ ayowa a wɔabere ho hyerɛnn, na ne nne nso te sɛ nnipakuw nnyigyei.
7 And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great quaking fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Me, Daniel nko ara na minyaa saa anisoadehu no; nnipa a na wɔka me ho no anhu hwee. Ehu kɛse bi bɔɔ wɔn ma wuguan kohintawee.
8 So I was left alone, and saw this great vision. And there remained no strength in me, for my fitness was turned in me into debility, and I retained no strength.
Enti ɛkaa me nko ara a merehwɛ anisoadehu kɛse yi. Na mʼahoɔden asa, mʼanim hoaee; afei na minni ɔboafo biara.
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words. And when I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Na metee sɛ ɔrekasa; na meretie no no, mefaa mu daa nnahɔɔ a mʼanim butuw fam.
10 And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
Nsa bi soo me mu, maa me a me nsa ne me kotodwe rewosow biribiribiri no so.
11 And he said to me, O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright, for I am now sent to thee. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood, trembling.
Ɔkae se, “Daniel, wo a wobu wo yiye, dwene nsɛm a merebɛka akyerɛ wo yi ho. Gyina pintinn, na wɔasoma me wɔ wo nkyɛn.” Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ me no, mede ahopopo sɔree.
12 Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that thou set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard. And I have come for thy words' sake.
Afei ɔkɔɔ so kae se, “Nsuro, Daniel. Efi da a edi kan a wopɛɛ sɛ wote anisoadehu no ase na wobrɛɛ wo ho ase wɔ wo Nyankopɔn anim no, na ɔtee wo nsɛm, na ɛno nti na maba yi.
13 But the ruler of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me. And I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Nanso ɔhene babarima a ofi Persia ahenni mu siw me kwan nnafua aduonu baako. Afei, Mikael a ɔyɛ ahenemma atitiriw no mu baako bɛboaa me, efisɛ na wɔde me asie wɔ Persia hene nkyɛn.
14 I have come now to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.
Mprempren, maba sɛ merebɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo nea ɛbɛba wo nkurɔfo so daakye, efisɛ saa anisoadehu yi fa bere bi a ɛrebɛba ho.”
15 And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was mute.
Bere a ɔreka eyi akyerɛ me no, mebɔɔ me mu ase, na metɔɔ mum.
16 And, behold, someone in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have turned upon me, and I retain no strength.
Afei obi a ɔte sɛ onipa de ne saa kaa mʼano, na mibuee mʼano, fii ase kasae. Meka kyerɛɛ nea ogyina mʼanim no se, “Anisoadehu no ama me ho adwiriw me, me wura, na minni ɔboafo biara.
17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, straightaway there remained no strength in me, nor was there breath left in me.
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wʼakoa betumi ne wo akasa, me wura? Mʼahoɔden asa, na mintumi nhome.”
18 Then someone like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
Nea ɔte sɛ onipa no de ne nsa kaa me bio, na ɔmaa me ahoɔden.
19 And he said, O man greatly beloved, fear not. Peace be to thee. Be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak, for thou have strengthened me.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Nsuro, wo a wobu wo bebree. Asomdwoe nka wo. Hyɛ wo ho den. Yɛ den.” Ɔkasa kyerɛɛ me no, minyaa ahoɔden na mekae se, “Sɛ woama me ahoɔden yi, kasa, me wura.”
20 Then he said, Do thou know why I have come to thee? And now I will return to fight with the ruler of Persia. And when I go forth, lo, the ruler of Greece shall come.
Enti obisae se, “Wunim nea enti a maba wo nkyɛn? Ɛrenkyɛ, mɛsan akɔ na me ne Persia ɔhenebabarima akɔko, na sɛ mekɔ a, Hela ɔhenebabarima bɛba;
21 But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. And there is none who holds with me against these, but Michael your prince.
nanso, medi kan aka nea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Nokware Nhoma no mu no akyerɛ wo. (Obiara nni mʼafa a ɔko tia wɔn, gye sɛ Mikael a ɔyɛ wo hene babarima no.
