Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true, even a great warfare; and he gave heed to the word, and had understanding of the vision.
Persiahene Kores adedie afeɛ a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa mu no, wɔyii asɛm bi adi kyerɛɛ Daniel (a na wɔfrɛ no Beltesasar). Na nkra no yɛ nokorɛ, na ɛfa ɔko kɛseɛ bi ho. Ɔnyaa nkra no asekyerɛ wɔ anisoadehunu mu.
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three whole weeks.
Saa ɛberɛ no, me, Daniel, medii awerɛhoɔ nnawɔtwe mmiɛnsa.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Manni aduane pa biara. Ɛnam anaa nsã biara anka mʼano, na mamfa sradehwam ansra kɔsii nnawɔtwe mmiɛnsa no awieeɛ.
4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Tigris,
Ɔbosome a ɛdi ɛkan no, da a ɛtɔ so aduonu ɛnan, ɛberɛ a megyina asubɔnten kɛseɛ Tigris konkɔn so no,
5 I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz;
mepagyaa mʼani na mehunuu ɔbarima bi a ɔfira nweratam. Na ɔbɔ sikakɔkɔɔ amapa abɔsoɔ a ɛfiri Ufas wɔ nʼasene mu.
6 his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Ne onipadua no te sɛ aboɔdenboɔ. Nʼanim te sɛ anyinam, nʼani te sɛ ogyatɛn a ɛrederɛ, ne nsa ne nan te sɛ yaawa a wɔabere ho hyerɛn, na ne nne nso te sɛ nipakuo nnyegyeɛ.
7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision; for the men that were with me saw not the vision; howbeit a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Me, Daniel nko ara na mehunuu saa anisoadehunu no; nnipa a na wɔka me ho no anhunu hwee. Ehu kɛseɛ bi bɔɔ wɔn ma wodwane kɔtetɛeɛ.
8 So that I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
Enti, ɛkaa me nko ara a merehwɛ anisoadehunu kɛseɛ yi. Na mʼahoɔden asa, mʼanim too hoa, afei na menni ɔboafoɔ biara.
9 Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Na metee sɛ ɔrekasa, na meretie no no, mefaa mu daa nnahɔɔ a mʼanim butu fam.
10 And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me tottering upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
Nsa bi sɔɔ me mu, pagyaa me a me nsa ne me kotodwe rewoso biribiribiri.
11 And he said unto me: 'O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, give heed unto the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for now am I sent unto thee'; and when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Daniel, wo a wɔbu wo yie, dwene nsɛm a merebɛka akyerɛ wo yi ho. Gyina pintinn, na wɔasoma me wɔ wo nkyɛn.” Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ me no, mede ahopopoɔ sɔreeɛ.
12 Then said he unto me: 'Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard; and I am come because of thy words.
Afei, ɔkɔɔ so kaa sɛ, “Nsuro, Daniel. Ɛfiri da a ɛdi ɛkan a wopɛɛ sɛ wote anisoadehunu no ase na wobrɛɛ wo ho ase wɔ wo Onyankopɔn anim no na ɔtee wo nsɛm, na ɛno enti na maba yi.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left over there beside the kings of Persia.
Nanso, ɔhene babarima a ɔfiri Persia ahennie mu sii me ɛkwan nnafua aduonu baako. Afei, Mikael a ɔyɛ ahenemma atitire no mu baako bɛboaa me, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔde me asie wɔ Persia ɔhene nkyɛn.
14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the end of days; for there is yet a vision for the days.'
Seesei, maba sɛ merebɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo deɛ ɛbɛba wo nkurɔfoɔ so daakye, ɛfiri sɛ saa anisoadehunu yi fa berɛ bi a ɛrebɛba ho.”
15 And when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
Ɛberɛ a ɔreka yei akyerɛ me no, mebɔɔ me mu ase, na metɔree mum.
16 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said unto him that stood before me: 'O my lord, by reason of the vision my pains are come upon me, and I retain no strength.
Afei, obi a ɔte sɛ onipa de ne saa kaa mʼano, na mebuee mʼano, hyɛɛ aseɛ kasaeɛ. Meka kyerɛɛ deɛ ɔgyina mʼanim no sɛ, “Anisoadehunu no ama me ho adwiri me, me wura, na menni ɔboafoɔ biara.
17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.'
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wʼakoa bɛtumi ne wo akasa, me wura? Mʼahoɔden asa, na mentumi nhome.”
18 Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.
Deɛ ɔte sɛ onipa no de ne nsa kaa me bio, na ɔmaa me ahoɔden.
19 And he said: 'O man greatly beloved, fear not! peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.' And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said: 'Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.'
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Nsuro, wo a wɔbu wo bebree. Asomdwoeɛ nka wo. Hyɛ wo ho den. Yɛ den.” Ɔkasa kyerɛɛ me no, menyaa ahoɔden na mekaa sɛ, “Sɛ woama me ahoɔden yi, kasa, me wura.”
20 Then said he: Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.
Enti ɔbisaa sɛ, “Wonim deɛ enti a maba wo nkyɛn? Ɛrenkyɛre, mɛsane akɔ na me ne Persia ɔhene babarima akɔko, na sɛ mekɔ a, Hela ɔhene babarima bɛba;
21 Howbeit I will declare unto thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth; and there is none that holdeth with me against these, except Michael your prince.
nanso, mɛdi ɛkan aka deɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ Nokorɛ Nwoma no mu no akyerɛ wo. (Obiara nni mʼafa a ɔko tia wɔn, gye sɛ Mikael a ɔyɛ wo henebabarima no.
