< Daniel 10 >

1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.
Bara Qiiros mooticha Faares keessa waggaa sadaffaatti Daaniʼel isa Beelxishaazaar jedhame sanatti mulʼanni tokko mulʼate. Ergaan isaas dhugaa fi kan waaʼee waraanaa ibsu ture. Hubannaan ergaa sanaas mulʼataan isaaf kenname.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks.
Yeroo sanatti ani Daaniʼel torban sadii nan booʼe.
3 I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.
Hamma torban sadan sun raawwatamanitti ani nyaata filatamaa tokko illee hin nyaanne; fooni yookaan daadhiin wayinii afaan koo hin seenne; dibata tokko illees hin dibanne.
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris,
Bultii digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti ani utuun qarqara laga guddichaa Laga Xegroos irra dhaabadhee jiruu,
5 I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.
ol ilaalee namicha wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee sabbata warqee Uufaazii qulqulluu mudhii isaatti hidhate tokko fuula koo duratti arge.
6 His body was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.
Nafni isaa akka biiralee, fuulli isaa akka balaqqee, iji isaa akka guca bobaʼuu, irree fi miilli isaa akka naasii dibamee cululuqee, sagaleen isaa immoo akka sagalee namoota baayʼee ture.
7 Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them, and they ran and hid themselves.
Namni mulʼata sana arge anuma Daaniʼel qofa ture; namoonni na wajjin turan hin argine; garuu sodaan guddaan isaan qabatee baqatanii dhokatan.
8 So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.
Kanaafuu ani mulʼata guddaa kana ilaalaan kophaatti hafe; humna nan dhabe; fuulli koos ni geeddarame; nan laafes.
9 I heard the sound of his words, and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.
Kana irratti ani utuu inni dubbatuu nan dhagaʼe; ani akkuman isa dhagaʼeen adda kootiin lafatti gombifamee hirribni cimaan na qabe.
10 Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.
Ergasii garuu harki tokko na qabee utuu ani holladhuu harkaa fi jilba kootiin na dhaabe.
11 He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had said this to me, I stood up trembling.
Innis, “Yaa Daaniʼel, ati kan akka malee jaallatamte dubbii ani sitti himuuf jiru sirriitti qabadhu; ani gara keetti ergameeraatii ol kaʼi” jedhe. Anis yommuu inni waan kana naan jedhetti hollachaan kaʼee dhaabadhe.
12 “Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
Ammas akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa Daaniʼel hin sodaatin. Guyyaa tokkoffaa gaafa ati hubannaa argachuu fi fuula Waaqa keetii duratti of xinneessuuf murteessitee jalqabee dubbiin kee dhagaʼameera; anis deebii isaa fidee dhufeera.
13 However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
Ergamaan guddichi mootummaa Faares garuu bultii digdamii tokko naan morme. Sababii ani ilma mooticha mootummaa Faares wajjin achitti hafee tureef hangafoota ergamootaa keessaa Miikaaʼel na gargaaruuf dhufe.
14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”
Ani amma waan gara fuula duraatti saba kee irra gaʼuuf jiru sitti himuuf dhufeera; mulʼanni sun waan yeroon isaa amma illee hin gaʼin argisiisaatii.”
15 While he was speaking these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless.
Utuma inni waan kana natti dubbachaa jiruu ani mataa gad qabadhee waanan dubbadhus dhabe.
16 And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have no strength.
Ergasii inni nama fakkaatu tokko hidhii koo tuqe; anis afaan banadheen dubbachuu jalqabe. Isa fuula koo dura dhaabachaa ture sanaanis akkanan jedhe; “Yaa gooftaa ko, ani sababii mulʼata sanaatiif dhiphadheera; humnas dhabeera.
17 How can I, your servant, speak with you, my lord? Now I have no strength, nor is any breath left in me.”
Yaa gooftaa ko, ani garbichi kee akkamittan si wajjin haasaʼuu dandaʼa? Humni koo dhumeera; ani hafuura baafachuu illee dadhabeera.”
18 Again the one with the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.
Ammas inni nama fakkaatu sun na tuqee humna naa kenne.
19 “Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious,” he said. “Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!” As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”
Innis, “Yaa namicha akka malee jaallatamte, hin sodaatin; nagaan siif haa taʼu! Amma jabaadhu; jajjabaadhus” naan jedhe. Yeroo inni natti dubbatetti ani nan jajjabaadhee, “Yaa Gooftaa ko, ati waan na jajjabeessiteef dubbadhu” isaan jedhe.
20 “Do you know why I have come to you?” he said. “I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
Kana irratti inni akkana naan jedhe; “Ati waan ani gara kee dhufeef beektaa? Ani ergamaa guddicha mootummaa Faares loluuf nan deebiʼa; yeroo ani deemutti immoo ergamaan guddichi mootummaa Giriik ni dhufa;
21 But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince.
garuu ani duraan dursee waan Kitaaba Dhugaa keessatti barreeffame sittin hima. Isaan loluufis Miikaaʼel hangafticha keessan malee kan na gargaaru kan biraa hin jiru.
