Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
Nʼafọ nke atọ site na mgbe eze Belshaza bidoro ịbụ eze, mụ bụ Daniel hụrụ ọhụ ọzọ.
2 And I saw in the vision, now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam, and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
Nʼime ọhụ, ahụrụ m onwe m nʼobodo Susa, nke bụ obodo ukwu ebe eze nwere isi ọchịchị ya, nʼobodo dị na mpaghara Elam. Eguzokwara m nʼakụkụ osimiri Ulai.
3 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Eweliri m anya elu, hụ otu ebule nwere mpi ogologo abụọ ka o guzo nʼakụkụ iyi, otu nʼime mpi abụọ ya ahụ bidoro ito ogologo karịa nke ọzọ.
4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no beasts could stand before him, nor was there any that could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
Mgbe m na-ele anya, ebule ahụ malitere iji mpi ya na-asọ ihe o bụla dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ na nʼugwu nakwa na ndịda. O nweghị anụ ọbụla nwere ike iguzogide ya, o nwekwaghị onye ọbụla pụrụ inyere ndị ọ lụsoro ọgụ aka. O mere ihe ọbụla masịrị ya si otu a dị ukwuu.
5 And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
Mgbe m nọ na-atule nke a, na mberede ahụrụ m otu mkpi si nʼọdịda anyanwụ pụta, na-agafe ụwa niile ma ụkwụ erughị ya ala. Mkpi a, nwere otu mpi nʼetiti anya abụọ ya.
6 And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power.
Ọ bịaruru nso ebule ahụ nwere mpi abụọ nke m hụrụ guzo nʼakụkụ mmiri, were oke iwe na-agbata ọsọ nʼebe ọ nọ.
7 And I saw him come close to the ram. And he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him. And there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Ahụrụ m ka o ji oke iwe lụso ebule ahụ ọgụ kujipụ mpi abụọ ya. Ebule ahụ enweghị ike iguzogide ya. Ọ tụdara ya nʼala, were ụkwụ ya zọda ya, ma na o nweghị onye ọbụla nwere ike ịnapụta ebule ahụ site nʼike ya.
8 And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly. And when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven.
Mkpi ahụ, dịịrị ike nke ukwu, ma nʼuju ike ya a gbajipụrụ mpi ukwu ya. Nʼọnọdụ mpi ahụ mpi anọ puputara chee ihu nʼakụkụ anọ nke eluigwe,
9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
Otu ntakịrị mpi sitere nʼime otu nʼime mpi ndị ahụ pụta, tokwaa ma buo ibu nke ukwuu ruo na ndịda, na ọwụwa anyanwụ, ruokwa nʼala ọma ahụ
10 And it grew great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled upon them.
O toro tutu o ruo usuu nke eluigwe. Ọ kwatukwara ụfọdụ nʼime usuu nke eluigwe na ụfọdụ nʼime kpakpando nʼala, zọtọọ ha.
11 Yea, it magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host. And it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
O mere onwe ya ka ọ dị ukwuu megide onyeisi nke usuu eluigwe, ọ napụrụ ya aja niile a na-achụ kwa ụbọchị ma tụdakwa ebe nsọ ya nʼala.
12 And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
Nʼihi nnupu isi, e nyefere usuu ndị nsọ na aja nsure ọkụ a na-esure kwa ụbọchị nʼaka ya. Ọ gara nʼihu nʼihe niile o mere. E mekwara ka eziokwu daa nʼala.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision of the continual burnt offering, and the transgression that make desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m ka otu mmụọ ozi na-ajụ ibe ya sị, “Olee mgbe ọ ga-akwụsị bụ ọhụ maka aja nsure ọkụ a na-achụ kwa ụbọchị, njehie nke na-eweta ịtọgbọ nʼefu, inyefe ebe nsọ na maka ndị nsọ a na-azọtọ ụkwụ?”
14 And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
Ọ gwara m, “A ga-echere tutu puku ụbọchị abụọ na narị ụbọchị atọ agafee, mgbe ahụ a ga-eme ka ebe nsọ ahụ dịghachikwa otu ọ dị na mbụ.”
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it, and, behold, there stood before me someone as the appearance of a man.
Mgbe mụ bụ Daniel nọ na-ele ọhụ ahụ na-achọkwa ịghọta ya, o nwere otu onye dịka nwoke bịara guzo nʼihu m.
16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
Ma anụrụ m olu otu onye na-akpọ oku site na mmiri Ulai sị, “Gebrel, kọwaara nwoke a ihe ọhụ a pụtara.”
17 So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was frightened, and fell upon my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.
Mgbe ọ bịara m nso nʼebe m guzo, egwu tụrụ m nke ukwu. Adara m, kpuo ihu m nʼala. Ma ọ gwara m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ghọta na ọhụ a bụ maka ọgwụgwụ oge.”
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground, but he touched me, and set me upright.
Mgbe ahụ ọ na-agwa m okwu, adara m nʼoke ụra, kpuo ihu nʼala. Ma o metụrụ m aka, nyere m aka iguzo ọtọ nʼụkwụ m.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
Ọ sịrị, “Lee, aga m agwa gị ihe na-aga ime nʼoge oke iwe. Nʼihi na ọhụ a bụ maka oge ọgwụgwụ ihe niile nke a kara aka.
20 The ram which thou saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Ma banyere ebule ahụ ị hụrụ nke nwere mpi abụọ, na-egosi eze Midia na Peshịa.
21 And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Mkpi ahụ ị hụrụ na-egosi eze ndị Griis, nnukwu mpi nke dị nʼetiti anya ya abụọ bụ eze nke mbụ.
22 And as for that which was broken, in the place of which four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
Dịka mpi ahụ siri gbajie, mpi anọ ọzọ pupụta nʼọnọdụ ya, otu a ka alaeze anọ ga-esi pụta na mba ya, ma ike ha agaghị eru ka nke mbụ ahụ.
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding hidden things, shall stand up.
“Ma na mgbe ọgwụgwụ alaeze ahụ, mgbe iko ndị nnupu isi juru, otu eze nke nwere ihu dị ike, na akọnuche na obi aghụghọ ga-ebili.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy amazingly, and shall prosper and do his pleasure. And he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
Ọ ga-adị ike nke ukwuu, ma ọ bụghị nʼike onwe ya, ọ ga-eweta mbibi ga-eju anya. Ihe niile o metụrụ aka ga-agara ya nke ọma. Ọ ga-alakwa ndị dị ike na ndị nsọ nʼiyi.
25 And through his policy he shall cause deceit to prosper in his hand, and he shall magnify himself in his heart. And he shall destroy many in their security. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, but he shall be broken without a hand.
Ọ ga-eme ka aghụghọ baa ụba, ọ ga-ahụta onwe ya dịka onye dị elu karịa, mgbe ndị mmadụ na-eche na udo dị, ọ ga-ebibi ọtụtụ ndị. Ọ ga-eguzo megide Onyeisi nke ndịisi, a ga-ebibi ya ma ọ bụghị nʼike nke mmadụ.
26 And the vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true. But shut thou up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.
“Ọhụ a ị hụrụ, maka ụtụtụ na anyasị nke ekpughere gị bụ eziokwu, ma zobe ọhụ a, nʼihi na ọ dịrị ọtụtụ oge ka dị nʼihu.”
27 And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days. Then I rose up, and did the king's business. And I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.
Mụ bụ Daniel, nọrọ nʼọnọdụ ike ọgwụgwụ na ahụ esighị ike. Mgbe ụbọchị ole na ole gafekwara, ebiliri m bidokwa na-agagharị, na-arụkwa ọrụ eze, ma obi jọrọ m njọ nke ukwuu nʼihi nrọ ahụ, nʼihi na ọ karịrị m nghọta.
