< Daniel 8 >

1 In the thirde yeere of the reigne of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared vnto mee, euen vnto me Daniel, after that which appeared vnto mee 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 a vision, and when I sawe it, I was in the palace of Shushan, which is in the prouince of Elam, and in a vision me thought I was by the riuer of Vlai.
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 looked vp and sawe, and beholde, there stoode before the riuer a ramme, which had two hornes: and these two hornes were hie: but one was hier then another, and the hyest came vp 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 sawe the ramme pusshing against ye West, and against the North, and against the South: so that no beastes might stande before him, nor could deliuer out of his hand, but he did what he listed, and became great.
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 considered, beholde, a goate came from the West ouer the whole earth, and touched not the grounde: and this goate had an horne that appeared betweene 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 vnto the ramme that had the two hornes, whome I had seene standing by the riuer, and ranne vnto him in his fierce rage.
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 vnto the ramme, and being moued against him, he smote the ramme, and brake his two hornes: and there was no power in the ramme to stand against him, but he cast him downe to the grounde, and stamped vpon him, and there was none that coulde deliuer the ramme out of his power.
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 Therefore the goate waxed exceeding great, and when he was at the strongest, his great horne was broken: and for it came vp foure that appeared toward the foure windes of ye heauen.
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 foorth a litle horne, which waxed very great toward the South, and toward the East, and towarde the pleasant 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 Yea, it grewe vp vnto the hoste of heauen, and it cast downe some of the hoste, and of the starres to the ground, and trode vpon them,
O toro tutu o ruo usuu nke eluigwe. Ọ kwatukwara ụfọdụ nʼime usuu nke eluigwe na ụfọdụ nʼime kpakpando nʼala, zọtọọ ha.
11 And extolled himselfe against the prince of the hoste from whome the dayly sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his Sanctuarie was cast downe.
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 a time shall be giuen him ouer the dayly sacrifice for the iniquitie: and it shall cast downe the trueth to the ground, and thus shall it doe, and prosper.
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 one of the Saints speaking, and one of the Saints spake vnto a certaine one, saying, Howe long shall endure the vision of the dayly sacrifice, and the iniquitie of the desolation to treade both the Sanctuarie and the armie vnder foote?
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 answered me, Vnto the euening and the morning, two thousand and three hundreth: then shall the Sanctuarie be clensed.
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 Nowe when I Daniel had seene the vision, and sought for the meaning, beholde, there stoode before me like the similitude 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 mans voyce betweene the bankes of Vlai, which called, and sayde, Gabriel, make this man to vnderstand 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 where I stood: and when hee came, I was afraide, and fell vpon my face: but he sayd vnto me, Vnderstand, O sonne of man: for in the last time shalbe the vision.
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 Nowe as he was speaking vnto me, I being a sleepe fell on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me vp in my place.
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 sayde, Beholde, I will shewe thee what shalbe in the last wrath: for in the end of the time appointed it shall come.
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 ramme which thou sawest hauing two hornes, are the Kings of the Medes and Persians.
Ma banyere ebule ahụ ị hụrụ nke nwere mpi abụọ, na-egosi eze Midia na Peshịa.
21 And the goate is the King of Grecia, and the great horne that is betweene 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 that that is broken, and foure stoode vp for it, are foure kingdomes, which shall stand vp of that nation, but not in his strength.
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 end of their kingdome, when the rebellious shalbe consumed, a King of fierce countenance, and vnderstanding darke sentences, shall stand vp.
“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 shalbe mightie, but not in his strength: and hee shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mightie, 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 policie also, hee shall cause craft to prosper in his hand, and he shall extoll himselfe in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: hee shall also stande vp against the prince of princes, but he shalbe broken downe without 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 euening and the morning, which is declared, is true: therefore seale thou vp the vision, for it shall be after many dayes.
“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 was striken and sicke certaine dayes: but when I rose vp, I did the Kings busines, and I was astonished at the vision, but none vnderstood 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.
