< Daniel 8 >

1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one that had appeared to me earlier.
Bara Beelshaazaar mootichaa keessa waggaa sadaffaatti, ani Daaniʼel, mulʼata duraan natti mulʼate sana booddee mulʼata tokko nan arge.
2 And in the vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa, in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal.
Anis mulʼata koo keessatti gamoo Suusaa kan kutaa biyyaa Eelaam keessattan of arge. Ani mulʼata sana keessatti Laga Uulayi biran ture.
3 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a ram with two horns standing beside the canal. The horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one grew up later.
Anis ija ol fudhadhee korbeessa hoolaa gaanfa lama qabu utuu laga cina dhaabatu nan arge; gaanfi isaas dheeraa ture. Gaanfa isaa keessaa inni tokko isa kaan irra dheerata; ergasii garuu ni guddate.
4 I saw the ram charging toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against him, and there was no deliverance from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.
Ani utuu korbeessi hoolaa sun gara lixa biiftuutti, gara kaabaa fi gara kibbaatti jifatuu nan arge; horiin fuula isaa dura dhaabachuu dandaʼe tokko iyyuu hin turre; kan humna isaa jalaa baasuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin turre. Inni waanuma barbaade hojjetee guddaa taʼe.
5 As I was contemplating all this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes came out of the west, crossing the surface of the entire earth without touching the ground.
Utuma ani waan kana yaadaa jiruu korbeessi reʼee kan ija isaa lamaan gidduudhaa gaanfa qabu tokko utuu lafa hin tuqin guutummaa lafaa qaxxaamuraa akkuma tasaa lixa biiftuutii dhufe.
6 He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed at him with furious power.
Innis gara korbeessa hoolaa kan gaanfa lama qabu kan ani utuu inni laga cina dhaabatuu arge sanaa dhufee aarii guddaadhaan isa jifate.
7 I saw him approach the ram in a rage against him, and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against him, and the goat threw him to the ground and trampled him, and no one could deliver the ram from his power.
Ani utuu inni akka malee aaree isa dhaʼee gaanfa isaa lamaanis isa irraa caccabsuu nan arge. Hoolaan sun of irraa isa dhowwuuf humna hin qabu ture; reʼeen sun lafaan isa dhaʼee of jalatti dhidhiite; hoolaa sanas humna isaa jalaa baasuu kan dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin turre.
8 Thus the goat became very great, but at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off, and four prominent horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven.
Reʼeen sunis akka malee guddate; garuu yeroo humni isaa jabaatetti gaanfi isaa guddichi isa irraa cabe; qooda isaas gaanfawwan afur guddatanii gara bubbeewwan samii afraniitti baʼan.
9 From one of these horns a little horn emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful Land.
Afran isaanii keessaa isa tokko keessaa gaanfi biraa baʼe; innis xinnaa fakkaatee ergasii garuu humnaan jabaatee gara kibbaa, gara lixa biiftuutii fi Biyya Bareedduu sanaatti guddate.
10 It grew as high as the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the earth, and trampled them.
Gaafni sunis hamma raayyaa samiiwwanii qaqqabee raayyaa urjiiwwanii keessaa tokko tokko lafatti gad darbatee of jalatti dhidhiitutti guddate.
11 It magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host; it removed His daily sacrifice and overthrew the place of His sanctuary.
Akka waan ajajaa loltoota Waaqaatiin wal qixxaateettis mataa ol qabate; aarsaa guyyaa guyyaa illee isa irraa fudhate; iddoon isaa qulqulluunis gad darbatame.
12 And in the rebellion, the host and the daily sacrifice were given over to the horn, and it flung truth to the ground and prospered in whatever it did.
Sababii cubbuutiif raayyaan qulqullootaatii fi aarsaan guyyaa guyyaan dhiʼeeffamu dabarfamanii isaaf kennaman. Inni waan hojjetu hunda keessatti ni milkaaʼe; dhugaanis lafatti gatame.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long until the fulfillment of the vision of the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host to be trampled?”
Anis utuu qulqullichi dubbatuu nan dhagaʼe; qulqulluun kaan, “Mulʼanni waaʼee aarsaa guyyaa guyyaa, kan cubbuu badiisa fiduu, kan iddoo qulqulluutii fi raayyaawwan akka miilla jalatti dhidhiitamaniif dabarfamanii kennaman sanaa yoomi raawwata?” jedheen.
14 He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be properly restored.”
Innis, “Wanni sun galgalaa fi ganama 2,300 fudhata; ergasii iddoon qulqulluun deebiʼee ni qulqulleeffama” naan jedhe.
15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.
Utuma ani Daaniʼel mulʼata sana argee hiikkaa isaa hubachuuf yaalaa jiruu inni nama fakkaatu tokko fuula koo dura dhaabate.
16 And I heard the voice of a man calling from between the banks of the Ulai: “Gabriel, explain the vision to this man.”
Anis sagalee nama tokkoo kan “Yaa Gabriʼeel, hiikkaa mulʼata sanaa nama kanatti himi” jedhu tokko Uulayi nan dhagaʼe.
17 As he came near to where I stood, I was terrified and fell facedown. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”
Akkuma inni iddoo ani dhaabachaa ture dhufeen ani rifadheen addaan lafatti gombifame. Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, akka mulʼanni sun waaʼee bara dhumaa argisiisu hubadhu” naan jedhe.
18 While he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me, helped me to my feet,
Yeroo inni natti dubbachaa turettis, ani addaan lafatti gombifamee hirriba cimaa keessan ture. Inni garuu na tuqee ol na qabee miilla kootiin na dhaabe.
19 and said, “Behold, I will make known to you what will happen in the latter time of wrath, because it concerns the appointed time of the end.
Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani waan booddee yeroo dheekkamsaatti dhufuuf jiru sitti nan hima; mulʼanni sun waan bara dhumaa kan murtaaʼe sana keessatti taʼu argisiisaatii.
20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.
Korbeessi hoolaa kan gaafa lamaa ati argite sun, mootota Meedee fi Faares argisiisa.
21 The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king.
Reʼeen rifeensa qabu sun mootii Giriik; gaanfi guddaan ija isaa lamaan gidduu immoo mootii jalqabaa ti.
22 The four horns that replaced the broken one represent four kingdoms that will rise from that nation, but will not have the same power.
Gaanfawwan afran gaanfa cabe tokko iddoo buʼan mootummoota saba isaa keessaa baʼan afran argisiisan; isaan garuu humna akka isaa hin qaban.
23 In the latter part of their reign, when the rebellion has reached its full measure, an insolent king, skilled in intrigue, will come to the throne.
“Dhuma bulchiinsa isaaniitti, yeroo finciltoonni akka malee hammaachaa deemanitti mootiin adda jabeessi hibboo hubatu tokko ni kaʼa.
24 His power will be great, but it will not be his own. He will cause terrible destruction and succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men along with the holy people.
Innis akka malee jabaa taʼa; garuu humna isaatiin miti. Inni badiisa suukaneessaa fida; waan hojjetu hundaan ni milkaaʼa. Namoota jajjaboo fi qulqulloota ni balleessa.
25 Through his craft and by his hand, he will cause deceit to prosper, and in his own mind he will make himself great. In a time of peace he will destroy many, and he will even stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be broken off, but not by human hands.
Inni badhaadhuuf jedhee gowwoomsaa hojjeta; akka nama guddaattis of ilaala. Inni yommuu isaan waan nagaa qaban seʼanitti baayʼee isaanii balleessee Mootii moototaattis ni kaʼa. Taʼu illee inni ni bada; garuu humna namaatiin miti.
26 The vision of the evenings and the mornings that has been spoken is true. Now you must seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”
“Mulʼanni galgalaa fi ganama sitti mulʼifame sunis dhugaa dha; garuu sababii inni waan bara dheeraa booddee taʼuuf jiru argisiisuuf isa cufi.”
27 I, Daniel, was exhausted and lay ill for days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was confounded by the vision; it was beyond understanding.
Ani Daaniʼelis akka malee dadhabee guyyoota baayʼee dhukkubsadheen ciise. Ergasiis kaʼee gara hojii mootichaa nan dhaqe. Anis mulʼatan argee sanaan rifadheen ture; dubbiin isaas naaf hin galle.
