< Daniel 8 >
1 In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar a vision appeared to me, [even] to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
Nígbà tí ó di ọdún kẹta ìjọba Belṣassari ọba, èmi Daniẹli rí ìran kan èyí tí mo ti rí tẹ́lẹ̀.
2 And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Aelam, and I was on the [bank of] Ubal.
Nínú ìran náà, mo rí ara mi nínú ilé ìṣọ́ ní Susa ní agbègbè ìjọba Elamu: nínú ìran náà mo wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ odò Ulai.
3 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a ram standing in front of the Ubal; and he had high horns; and one was higher than the other, and the high one came up last.
Mo wo òkè mo sì rí àgbò kan tí ó ní ìwo méjì níwájú mi, ó dúró sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ odò Ulai, àwọn ìwo náà sì gùn. Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀kan gùn ju èkejì lọ, èyí tí ó gùn jù ni ó yọ jáde kẹ́yìn.
4 And I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was none that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great.
Mo rí àgbò náà ó ń kàn sí ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn, sí àríwá, àti sí gúúsù, kò sí ẹranko kankan tí ó le è dojúkọ ọ́, kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó le è yọ ọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ agbára rẹ̀, ó ń ṣe bí ó ti wù ú, ó sì di alágbára.
5 And I was considering, and, behold, a he-goat came from the southwest on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the earth: and the goat [had] a horn between his eyes.
Bí mo ṣe ń ronú nípa èyí, lójijì ni òbúkọ kan tí ó ní ìwo láàrín ojú u rẹ̀ méjèèjì jáde láti ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn, ó la gbogbo ayé kọjá láìfi ara kan ilẹ̀.
6 And he came to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing in front of the Ubal, and he ran at him with the violence of his strength.
Ó tọ àgbò tí ó ni ìwo méjì náà wá, èyí tí mo rí tó dúró sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ odò Ulai, ó sì dojúkọ ọ́ pẹ̀lú ìrunú tí ó lágbára.
7 And I saw him coming up close to the ram, and he was furiously enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke both his horns: and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him on the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Mo rí i tí ó fi ìtara kọlu àgbò náà, ó lu àgbò náà bolẹ̀, ó sì ṣẹ́ ìwo rẹ̀ méjèèjì. Àgbò náà kò sì ní agbára láti dojúkọ ọ́, Òbúkọ náà kàn án mọ́lẹ̀, ó sì fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí ó lè gba àgbò náà là kúrò lọ́wọ́ agbára rẹ̀.
8 And the he-goat grew exceedingly great: and when he was strong, his great horn was broken; and four other [horns] rose up in its place toward the four winds of heaven.
Òbúkọ náà sì di alágbára púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó dé góńgó, agbára rẹ̀ ru sókè, ìwo ńlá a rẹ̀ sì ṣẹ́ dànù, ní ipò o rẹ̀, ìwo mẹ́rin mìíràn hù, ó sì yọrí sí ìhà igun mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin ọ̀run.
9 And out of one of them came forth one strong horn, and it grew very great toward the south, and toward the host:
Lára ọ̀kan nínú wọn, ìwo mìíràn yọ jáde, ó kékeré, ṣùgbọ́n ó dàgbà nínú agbára sí ìhà gúúsù, àti sí ìhà ìlà-oòrùn àti sí ilẹ̀ dídára.
10 and it magnified itself to the host of heaven; and there fell to the earth [some] of the host of heaven and of the stars, and they trampled on them.
Ó sì dàgbà títí ó fi kan ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run, ó sì jù lára àwọn ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run sí ayé ó sì tẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀,
11 And [this shall be] until the chief captain shall have delivered the captivity: and by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed, and he prospered; and the holy place shall be made desolate.
ó sì gbé ara rẹ̀ ga gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ-aládé ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run; ó sì mú ẹbọ ojoojúmọ́ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì gba ààyè ibi mímọ́ rẹ̀.
12 And a sin-offering was given for the sacrifice, and righteousness was cast down to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
A fún un ní ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run àti ẹbọ ojoojúmọ́ nítorí ìwà ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ẹ rẹ̀, ó sọ òtítọ́ nù nínú gbogbo ohun tó ṣe.
13 And I heard one saint speaking, and a saint said to a certain one speaking, How long shall the vision continue, [even] the removal of the sacrifice, and the bringing in of the sin of desolation; and [how long] shall the sanctuary and host be trampled?
Nígbà náà, ni mo gbọ́ tí ẹni mímọ́ ń sọ̀rọ̀, àti ẹni mímọ́ mìíràn sọ̀rọ̀ fún un pé, “Yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí ìran yìí yóò fi wá sí ìmúṣẹ—ìran nípa ẹbọ ojoojúmọ́, ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ tí ó mú ìsọdahoro wa, àní láti fi ibi mímọ́ àti ogun ọ̀run fún ni ní ìtẹ̀mọ́lẹ̀?”
14 And he said to him, Evening and morning [there shall be] two thousand and four hundred days; and [then] the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
Ó sọ fún mi pé, “Yóò gbà tó ẹgbọ̀kànlá lé lọ́gọ́rùn-ún alẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀; lẹ́yìn náà ni a ó tún ibi mímọ́ yà sí mímọ́.”
15 And it came to pass, as I, [even] I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought to understand it, that, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Nígbà tí èmi Daniẹli, ń wo ìran náà, mo sì ń fẹ́ kí ó yé mi, ẹnìkan tí ó sì dúró níwájú mi.
16 And I heard the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ubal; and he called, and said, Gabriel, cause that man to understand the vision.
Mo gbọ́ ohùn ènìyàn ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ Ulai, tí ó ń ké pé “Gabrieli, sọ ìtumọ̀ ìran náà fún ọkùnrin yìí.”
17 And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he came, I was struck with awe, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man: for yet the vision is for an appointed time.
Bí ó ṣe súnmọ́ ibi tí mo dúró sí, ẹ̀rù bà mí, mo sì dọ̀bálẹ̀. Ó ń sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, jẹ́ kí ó yé ọ pé ìran náà ń sọ nípa ìgbà ìkẹyìn ni.”
18 And while he spoke with me, I fell upon my face to the earth: and he touched me, and set me on my feet.
Bí ó ṣe ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀, mo ti sùn lọ fọnfọn, bí mo ṣe da ojú bolẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni ó fi ọwọ́ kàn mí, ó sì gbé mi dúró lórí ẹsẹ̀ mi.
19 And he said, Behold, I make you know the things that shall come to pass at the end of the wrath: for the vision [is] yet for an appointed time.
Ó sọ wí pé, “Èmi yóò sọ ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ìkẹyìn ní ìgbà ìbínú, nítorí ìran náà jẹ mọ́ àkókò ohun tí a yàn nígbà ìkẹyìn.
20 The ram which you saw that had the horns is the king of the Medes and Persians.
Àgbò oníwo méjì tí o rí, òun ni ó dúró gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọba Media àti Persia.
21 The he-goat is the King of the Greeks: and the great horn which was between his eyes, he is the first king.
Òbúkọ onírun náà ni ọba Giriki, ìwo ńlá ti ó wà láàrín ojú u rẹ̀ ni ọba àkọ́kọ́.
22 And [as for] the one that was broken, in whose place there stood up four horns, four kings shall arise out of his nation, but not in their [own] strength.
Ìwo mẹ́rin mìíràn sì dìde dúró dípò ọ̀kan tí ó ṣẹ́, èyí dúró gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìjọba mẹ́rin tí yóò dìde nínú orílẹ̀-èdè náà, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì yóò ní ní irú agbára kan náà.
23 And at the latter time of their kingdom, when their sins are coming to the full, there shall arise a king bold in countenance, and understanding riddles.
“Ní ìgbà ìkẹyìn ìjọba wọn, nígbà tí àwọn oníwà búburú bá dé ní kíkún, ni ọba kan yóò dìde, tí ojú rẹ̀ le koko, tí ó sì mòye ọ̀rọ̀ àrékérekè.
24 And his power [shall be] great, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and prosper, and practise, and shall destroy mighty men, and the holy people.
Yóò di alágbára, ṣùgbọ́n tí kì í ṣe nípa agbára rẹ̀. Yóò sì máa ṣe ìparun tí yóò ya ni lẹ́nu, yóò sì máa ṣe àṣeyọrí nínú ohun gbogbo tó ń ṣe. Yóò sì run àwọn alágbára àti àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́.
25 And the yoke of his chain shall prosper: [there is] craft in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by craft shall destroy many, and he shall stand up for the destruction of many, and shall crush them as eggs in his hand.
Nípa àrékérekè rẹ̀, yóò mú kí ẹ̀tàn gbèrú, yóò gbé ara rẹ̀ ga nínú ọkàn rẹ̀, nígbà tí wọ́n rò wí pé àlàáfíà dé, yóò sì pa àwọn ènìyàn run, nígbà tí wọn kò rò tẹ́lẹ̀, yóò sì lòdì sí olórí àwọn ọmọ-aládé, síbẹ̀, a ó pa á run ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe nípa agbára ènìyàn.
26 And the vision of the evening and morning that was mentioned is true: and do you seal the vision; for [it is] for many days.
“Ìran alẹ́ àti ti òwúrọ̀, tí a fihàn ọ́ jẹ́ òtítọ́, ṣùgbọ́n pa ìran náà mọ́, nítorí pé, ó jẹ mọ́ ti ọjọ́ iwájú.”
27 And I Daniel fell asleep, and was sick: then I arose, and did the king's business; and I wondered at the vision, and there was none that understood [it].
Èmi Daniẹli sì ṣe àárẹ̀ fún ọjọ́ mélòó kan. Nígbà náà, mo dìde, mo sì ń bá iṣẹ́ ọba lọ. Ìran náà sì bà mí lẹ́rù, kò sì yé mi.
