Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Koresh king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true: a great war. And he understood 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 for three whole weeks.
Saa ɛberɛ no, me, Daniel, medii awerɛhoɔ nnawɔtwe mmiɛnsa.
3 I had no pleasing food, neither meat nor wine came into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until 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 In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is the 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 my eyes and looked, and look, a man clothed in linen, around his waist a belt made of pure gold from Uphaz.
mepagyaa mʼani na mehunuu ɔbarima bi a ɔfira nweratam. Na ɔbɔ sikakɔkɔɔ amapa abɔsoɔ a ɛfiri Ufas wɔ nʼasene mu.
6 His body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound 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 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great trembling fell on 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 I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my natural appearance grew deathly pale, 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 I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words, then I fell 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 Look, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
Nsa bi sɔɔ me mu, pagyaa me a me nsa ne me kotodwe rewoso biribiribiri.
11 He said to me, "Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to 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 he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your 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 twenty-one days; but, look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was left there with 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 have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision refers to future 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 to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground, and could not speak.
Ɛberɛ a ɔreka yei akyerɛ me no, mebɔɔ me mu ase, na metɔree mum.
16 And look, something like a man's hand touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, "My lord, it is because of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have 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 my lord? As for me, no strength remains, and I am breathless."
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wʼakoa bɛtumi ne wo akasa, me wura? Mʼahoɔden asa, na mentumi nhome.”
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again and strengthened me.
Deɛ ɔte sɛ onipa no de ne nsa kaa me bio, na ɔmaa me ahoɔden.
19 And he said, "Greatly loved man, do not be afraid, peace be to you; be strong, be strong." When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have 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 he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, look, 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 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the Book of Truth. And there is no one who contends with me against them 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.
