Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me. After that which I had seen in the beginning, I, Daniel,
Ɔhene Belsasar adedie mfeɛ mmiɛnsa so, me, Daniel, menyaa anisoadehunu foforɔ bi a na ɛdi deɛ ada ne ho adi akyerɛ me dada no akyi.
2 saw in my vision, that I was in the capital city of Susa, which is in the region of Elam, yet I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.
Mʼanisoadehunu mu no, mehunuu sɛ na mewɔ Susa abankɛsewa a ɛwɔ Elam mantam; na mʼanisoadehunu mu no, na mewɔ Nsuka Ulai ho.
3 And I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a single ram stood before the marsh, having two high horns, and one was higher than the other and growing higher still.
Memaa mʼani so no, mehunuu odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn atentene mmienu na ɔgyina nsuka no ho wɔ mʼanim. Na ne mmɛn no woware. Na ne mmɛn no baako ware sene baako, nanso deɛ ɛware no na ɛnyinii akyire koraa.
4 After this, I saw the ram brandishing his horns against the West, and against the North, and against the Meridian, and all the beasts could not withstand him, nor be freed from his hand, and he did according to his own will, and he became great.
Mehwɛɛ odwennini no sɛ ɔrepempem kɔ atɔeɛ, atifi ne anafoɔ fam. Na aboa biara ntumi nnyina nʼanim, na obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtumi agye obi foforɔ afiri ne nsa mu. Ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɔpɛ, na ɔyɛɛ kɛseɛ.
5 And I understood, and behold, a he-goat among she-goats came from the West above the face of the entire earth, and he did not touch the ground. Furthermore, the he-goat had a preeminent horn between his eyes.
Ɛberɛ a megu so redwene yie ho no, prɛko pɛ, ɔpapo bi a ɔwɔ abɛn kɛseɛ bi a ɛtua nʼani mmienu no ntam pue firii atɔeɛ fam, twaam faa asase no nyinaa so a ne nan mpo nka fam.
6 And he went all the way to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength.
Ɔde nʼani kyerɛɛ odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn mmienu no a mehunuu sɛ na ɔgyina nsuka no ho no. Na ɔde ahoɔden tuu mmirika kɔɔ no so.
7 And when he approached near to the ram, he was enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him, and when he had cast him down on the ground, he trampled him, and no one was able to free the ram from his hand.
Ɔpapo no sii ntɔkwanan a emu yɛ den, na ɔpem odwennini bubuu ne mmɛn mmienu no. Odwenini no yɛɛ mmerɛ na wantumi annyina ɔpapo no anim; enti ɔpapo no pem no hwee fam, tiatiaa no so, na obiara antumi annye no amfiri ne nsa mu.
8 But the he-goat among she-goats became exceedingly great, and when he had prospered, the great horn was shattered, and four horns were rising up beneath it by means of the four winds of heaven.
Ɔpapo no bɛyɛɛ ɔniɛdenfoɔ kɛseɛ. Nanso, nʼaniɛden no duruu ne mpɔmpɔnsoɔ no, nʼabɛn kɛseɛ no buiɛ, na nʼanan mu no, mmɛn akɛseɛ ɛnan fifiriiɛ a ɛkyerɛkyerɛ ɔsoro mframa ɛnan no so.
9 But from one of them came forth one little horn, and it became great against the Meridian, and against the East, and against the strength.
Abɛn foforɔ bi pueeɛ mmɛn akɛseɛ no mu baako ho. Ɛhyɛɛ aseɛ kakraa bi, na ne tumi yɛɛ kɛseɛ kɔɔ anafoɔ ne apueeɛ fam, de kɔɔ Asase Fɛɛfɛ no so.
10 And it was magnified even towards the strength of heaven, and it threw down those of the strength and of the stars, and it trampled them.
Ɛnyiniiɛ ara kɔkaa ɔsoro asafo, na ɔtotoo asafo no mu bi a wɔyɛ nsoromma bɛguguu fam, tiatiaa wɔn so.
11 And it was magnified, even to the leader of the strength, and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.
Na ɔmaa ne ho so bɛyɛɛ ne ho kɛseɛ sɛ ɔsoro asafo no Sahene. Ɔgyee daa daa afɔdeɛ firii ne nsam, na ɔsɛee ne kronkron tenabea hɔ.
12 And the advantage was given to him against the continual sacrifice, because of the sins, and truth will be struck down to the ground, and he will act, and he will prosper.
Esiane atuateɛ no enti, wɔde ahotefoɔ asafo no ne wɔn daa daa afɔdeɛ maa no. Na wɔtoo nokorɛ tweneeɛ.
13 And I heard one of the holy ones speaking, and one saint said to another, (I know not to whom he was speaking, ) “What is the extent of the vision, and the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation, which has happened, and of the sanctuary and the strength, which will be trampled?”
Afei, metee ɔkronkronni bi sɛ ɔrekasa, na ɔkronkronni foforɔ bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛberɛ bɛn na anisoadehunu yi bɛba mu—deɛ ɛfa daa daa afɔdeɛ, atuateɛ a ɛde ɔsɛeɛ ba, kronkron tenabea a wɔbɛgyaa mu ama, ne Awurade asafo a wɔbɛtiatia wɔn so no?”
14 And he said to him, “From evening until morning, two thousand three hundred days, and so the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Ɛbɛdi anwummerɛ ne anɔpa 2,300, ansa na wɔasane ate kronkron tenabea no ho.”
15 But it came to pass, when I, Daniel, saw the vision and sought understanding that, behold, there stood in my sight something like the appearance of a man.
Ɛberɛ a me Daniel, merehwɛ anisoadehunu na mepɛɛ sɛ mete aseɛ no, obi a ɔte sɛ ɔbarima bɛgyinaa mʼanim.
16 And I heard the voice of a man within Ulai, and he called out and said, “Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.”
Na metee onipa nne a ɛrefrɛ firi Ulai mu sɛ, “Gabriel, kyerɛ saa ɔbarima yi anisoadehunu no ase.”
17 And he came and stood next to where I was standing, and when he approached, I fell on my face, trembling, and he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for in the time of the end the vision will be fulfilled.”
Ɔrebɛn baabi a na megyina no, mesuroeɛ, na mede mʼanim butuu fam. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, te aseɛ sɛ anisoadehunu no fa awieɛberɛ no ho.”
18 And when he spoke to me, I fell forward onto the ground, and so he touched me and stood me upright.
Ɛberɛ a ɔrekasa akyerɛ me no, medaa nnahɔɔ a mʼanim butu fam. Na ɔsɔɔ me mu de me gyinaa me nan so.
19 And he said to me, “I will reveal to you what the future things are in the earlier tribulation, for the time has its end.
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Merebɛka deɛ ɛbɛsi akyire no wɔ abufuberɛ mu akyerɛ wo, ɛfiri sɛ anisoadehunu no fa awieeɛ ɛberɛ a wɔahyɛ no ho.
20 The ram, which you saw to have horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.
Odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn mmienu no gyina hɔ ma Media ne Persia ahemfo no.
21 Furthermore, the he-goat among she-goats is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn, which was between his eyes, is the same one, the first king.
Ɔpapo niɛdenfoɔ no yɛ Helahene, na abɛn kɛseɛ a ɛtua nʼani ntam no yɛ ɔhene a ɔdi ɛkan no.
22 And since, having been shattered, there grew four in its place, four kings will rise up from his people, but not in his strength.
Mmɛn ɛnan a ɛbɛsii abɛn a ɛbubuu no anan mu no gyina hɔ ma ahennie ɛnan a ɛbɛsɔre afiri ne ɔman no mu, nanso wɔn tumidie renyɛ pɛ.
23 And after their reign, when iniquities will be increased, there will arise a king of shameless face and understanding negotiations.
“Wɔn adedie no rekɔ awieeɛ no, ɛberɛ a atuatefoɔ no ayɛ atirimuɔden mmorosoɔ no, ɔhene a ɔyɛ den, na ɔdi kontonkyisɛm bɛsɔre.
24 And his advantage will be strengthened, but not by his kind of force, and other than what he will be able to trust, everything will be eradicated, and he will prosper, and he will act. And he will execute the successful and the people of the saints,
Ɔbɛyɛ den yie a ɛmfiri nʼankasa tumi mu. Ɔbɛsɛe adeɛ ama nnipa ho adwiri wɔn, na ɔbɛdi nkonim wɔ biribiara a ɔbɛyɛ mu. Ɔbɛsɛe ahoɔdenfoɔ ne akronkronfoɔ.
25 according to his will, and treachery will be guided by his hand. And his heart will be inflated, and by the abundance of everything he will kill many, and he will rise up against the Lord of lords, and he will be knocked down without a hand.
Ɔbɛma nnaadaa agye ntini, na ɔbɛyɛ ahomasoɔ. Ɔbɛsɛe bebree a ɔmmɔ nkaeɛ, na ɔbɛsɔre atia ahenemma mu Ɔheneba no, nanso wɔbɛsɛe no a ɛmfiri onipa ahoɔden mu.
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true. Therefore, you must seal the vision, because, after many days, it will occur.”
“Anwummerɛ ne anɔpa anisoadehunu a wɔde ama wo no yɛ nokorɛ, nanso, sɔ ano, ɛfiri sɛ ɛfa daakye bi a ɛnnya mmaeɛ ho.”
27 And I, Daniel, languished and was sick for some days, and when I had lifted myself up, I performed the king’s works, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none who could interpret it.
Me, Daniel, meyɛɛ mmerɛ, na meyaree nna kakra. Akyire yi, mesɔre kɔyɛɛ ɔhene adwuma. Anisoadehunu no yɛɛ me ahodwirie; na ɛboro nteaseɛ so.
