Daniel 8

1 In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision, appeared unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the beginning.

Nígbà tí ó di ọdún kẹta ìjọba Belṣassari ọba, èmi Daniẹli rí ìran kan èyí tí mo ti rí tẹ́lẹ̀.

2 So then I saw, in the vision, and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was in Shusan the fortress, which is in Persia the province, —yea I saw it in a vision, when, I, was by the river Ulai.

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 So then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and lo! a ram, standing before the river, and, it, had two horns, —and, the two horns, were high, but, the one, was higher than the other, and, the higher, had come 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 I saw the ram, pushing strongly westward and northward and southward, so that no wild beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand, —but he did according to his own pleasure, and shewed himself 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 Now, I, was observing, when lo! a he-goat, coming in out of the west, over the face of all the earth, but it meddled not with the earth, —and, the goat, had a conspicuous 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 So then he came up to the ram having the two horns, which I had seen, standing before the river, —and ran unto him, in the fury 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 Yea I saw him coming close upon the ram, and he was enraged at him, and smote the ram, and brake in pieces both his horns, and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, —but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled him underfoot, and there was none could deliver the ram out of his power.

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 But, the he-goat, shewed himself very great, —and, when he had become mighty, the great horn, was broken in pieces, and there came up afterwards four, in its stead, towards the four winds of the heavens;

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 the first of them, came forth a little horn, —which became exceedingly great, against the south and against the east, and against the beautiful [land];

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 yea it became great as far as the host of the heavens, —and caused to fall, to the earth, some of the host and some of the stars, and trampled them underfoot;

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 even as far as the ruler of the host, shewed he his greatness, —and, because of him, was taken away the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and the place of the sanctuary, was cast down;

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 host, was set over the continual [ascending-sacrifice], by transgression, —and faithfulness, was cast down, to the ground, and so he acted with effect, and succeeded.

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 Then heard I a certain holy one, speaking, —and another holy one said to that certain holy one who was speaking—How long is the vision of the continual [ascending-sacrifice] as taken away, and the transgression which astoundeth, for both sanctuary and host to be given over to be trampled underfoot?

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 unto him, Until two thousand and three hundred evening-mornings, —then shall the sanctuary, be vindicated.

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, when, I Daniel, had seen the vision, —and had sought discernment, that lo! there was standing 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 Then heard I a human voice, between [the banks of] the Ulai, —which cried out, and said, Gabriel! cause this man to understand the revelation.

Mo gbọ́ ohùn ènìyàn ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ Ulai, tí ó ń ké pé “Gabrieli, sọ ìtumọ̀ ìran náà fún ọkùnrin yìí.”

17 So he came near where I stood, and, when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face, —but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man, that, to the time of the end, belongeth the vision.

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, when he spake with me, I fell stunned upon my face, to the earth, —but he touched me, and caused me to stand up where I was.

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 Then said he, Behold me! causing thee to know, that which shall come to pass in the afterpart of the indignation, —for, at an appointed time, shall be an end.

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 thou sawest, having the two horns, representeth the kings of Media and Persia;

Àgbò oníwo méjì tí o rí, òun ni ó dúró gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọba Media àti Persia.

21 and, the he-goat, is the king of Greece, —and, the great horn which was between his eyes, the same, is the first king.

Òbúkọ onírun náà ni ọba Giriki, ìwo ńlá ti ó wà láàrín ojú u rẹ̀ ni ọba àkọ́kọ́.

22 Now, as for its being broken in pieces, whereupon there stood up four in its stead, four kingdoms, out of his nation, shall stand up, but not with his 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 but, in the aftertime of their kingdom, when transgressions, have filled up their measure, —there will stand up a king of mighty presence, and skilful in dissimulation;

“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 strength, will be mighty, but not through his own strength, and, wonderfully, will he destroy, and succeed and act with effect, —and will destroy mighty ones, and the people of holy ones;

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, by his cunning, will he both cause deceit to succeed in his hand, and, in his own heart, will he shew himself to be great, and, by their careless security, will he destroy many, —and, against the ruler of rulers, will he stand up, but, without hand, shall be broken in pieces.

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 Now, the revelation of the evening and the morning which hath been told, faithful, indeed it is, —but, thou, close up the vision, because 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 Now, as for me Daniel, then was I sick for days, but I arose and did the business of the king, —and, though I was confounded concerning the revelation, yet could no one discern 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.
