Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing is revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the thing [is] true, and the warfare [is] great: and he has understood the thing, and has understanding about the appearance.
Le Sirus, Persia fia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe etɔ̃lia me la, Daniel, ame si wogayɔna be Beltesazar la xɔ ɖeɖefia aɖe. Nya si wòhe vɛ la nye nyateƒe eye wòku ɖe aʋa gã aɖe ŋu. Gbedeasi la gɔmesese va nɛ le ŋutega aɖe me.
2 “In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks of days;
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, nye Daniel, mexa nu kɔsiɖa etɔ̃.
3 I have not eaten desirable bread, and no flesh and wine came into my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at all, until the completion of three weeks of days.
Nyemeɖu nu nyui aɖeke o, lã kple wain meka nu nam o eye nyemesi ami aɖeke kura o va se ɖe esime kɔsiɖa etɔ̃ la wu enu.
4 And in the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel:
Le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-enelia dzi, esi metsi tsitre ɖe tɔsisi gã, Tigris, to la,
5 and I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz,
mefɔ kɔ dzi eye ŋutsu aɖe si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu eye sika nyuitɔ si tso Ufaz ƒe alidziblanu le ali dzi nɛ la nɔ nye ŋkume.
6 and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright bronze, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.
Eƒe ŋutilã nɔ abe adzagba ene, eƒe mo nɔ abe dzikedzo ene, eƒe ŋkuwo nɔ abe akakati bibiwo ene, eƒe abɔwo kple afɔwo nɔ abe akɔbli nyuitɔ si le dzo dam la ene eye eƒe gbe nɔ abe ameha gã aɖe ƒe hoowɔwɔ ene.
7 And I, Daniel, have seen the vision by myself, and the men who have been with me have not seen the vision, but a great trembling has fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden;
Nye, Daniel koe nye ame si kpɔ ŋutega la; ame siwo nɔ gbɔnye la mekpɔe o, gake vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo ale gbegbe be wosi ɖaɣla wo ɖokuiwo.
8 and I have been left by myself, and I see this great vision, and there has been no power left in me, and my splendor has been turned in me to corruption, indeed, I have not retained power.
Ale nye ɖeka metsi anyi henɔ ŋutega la kpɔm. Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye, nye mo fu kpĩi eye wɔna vɔ le ŋunye.
9 And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face [is] to the earth;
Tete mesee wònɔ nu ƒom eye esi menɔ to ɖom la, meyi alɔ̃ me ʋĩi le esime metsyɔ mo anyi.
10 and behold, a hand has come against me, and shakes me on my knees and the palms of my hands.
Asi aɖe ka ŋunye eye wòna mede asi dzodzo me nyanyanya le nye asiwo kple klowo dzi.
11 And he says to me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking to you, and stand on your station, for now I have been sent to you. And when he speaks with me this word, I have stood trembling.
Egblɔ nam be, “Daniel, wò ame si ŋu wode bubu gãe, bu ta me nyuie le nya siwo gblɔ ge mala na wò la ŋu: Tsi tsitre elabena woɖom ɖe gbɔwò azɔ.” Esi wògblɔ nya siawo nam la, metsi tsitre heganɔ dzodzom nyanyanya ko.
12 And he says to me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you gave your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.
Eyi edzi gblɔ be, “Daniel, mègavɔ̃ o. Tso ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi esi nèɖo ta me be yease nu gɔme, abɔbɔ ye ɖokui ɖe yeƒe Mawu ƒe ŋkume la, wose wò gbedodoɖawo eye wò gbedodoɖawo ƒe ŋuɖoɖo tae meva ɖo.
13 And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing in opposition in front of me [for] twenty-one days, and behold, Michael, first of the chief heads, has come to help me, and I have remained there near the kings of Persia;
Ke esi megbɔna la, Persia fiaɖuƒe la ƒe dziɖula nɔ te, wɔ aʋa kplim ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-ɖekɛ sɔŋ. Tete Mikael, mawudɔlawo ƒe amegã ɖeka va kpe ɖe ŋunye elabena wozi dzinye ɖe Persia fia gbɔ le afi ma.
14 and I have come to cause you to understand that which happens to your people in the latter end of the days, for yet the vision [is] after days.
Azɔ la, meva be maɖe nu si ava dzɔ ɖe wò amea dzi le etsɔ me la na wò elabena ŋutega la ku ɖe nu siwo le ɣeyiɣi siwo le ŋgɔ la ŋuti.”
15 And when he speaks with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;
Esi wònɔ esiawo gblɔm nam la, metsyɔ mo anyi eye nye nu ku.
16 and behold, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say to him who is standing in opposition in front of me: My lord, by the vision my pangs have been turned against me, and I have retained no power.
Kasia, nane si le abe amegbetɔ ene la, ka asi nye nuyiwo ŋu, tete meke nye nu hede asi nuƒoƒo me. Megblɔ na ame si tsi tsitre ɖe gbɔnye la be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, vɔvɔ̃ ɖom le ŋutega la ta eye ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye.
17 And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? As for me, from now on there remains in me no power, indeed, breath has not been left in me.
Nye Aƒetɔ, aleke nye wò dɔla, mate ŋu aƒo nu kpli wòe? Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye eye gbɔgbɔtsixe hã tsi ƒonye.”
18 And he adds, and strikes against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengthens me,
Nu si ɖi amegbetɔ la gaka asi ŋunye eye wòna ŋusẽ gaɖo ŋunye.
19 and he says: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to you, be strong, indeed, be strong; and when he speaks with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.
Egblɔ nam be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, O, wò ame si ŋu wode asixɔxɔ gã aɖee. Ŋutifafa na wò! Ŋusẽ neɖo ŋuwò azɔ. Xɔ ŋusẽ.” Esi wònɔ nu ƒom nam la, ŋusẽ ɖo ŋunye eye megblɔ be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, ƒo nu le esi nèna ŋusẽm ta.”
20 And he says, Have you known why I have come to you? And now I return to fight with the head of Persia; indeed, I am going forth, and behold, the head of Javan has come;
Ale wògblɔ nam be, “Ènya nu si ta meva gbɔwò ɖoa? Esusɔ vie matrɔ aɖawɔ avu kple Persia ƒe dziɖula eye ne medzo la, Grik ƒe dziɖula ava,
21 but I declare to you that which is noted down in the Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself with me, concerning these, except Michael your head.”
gake gbã la, magblɔ nu si woŋlɔ ɖe Nyateƒegbalẽ la me. Ame aɖeke mekpe ɖe ŋunye le avuwɔwɔ kpli wo me o, negbe Amegã Mikael.
