< Daniel 8 >
1 In year three of [the] reign of Belshazzar the king a vision it appeared to me I Daniel after the [one] which it appeared to me at the beginning.
Ɔhene Belsasar adedi mfe abiɛsa so, me, Daniel, minyaa anisoadehu foforo bi a na edi nea ada ne ho adi akyerɛ me dedaw no akyi.
2 And I saw in the vision and it was when saw I and I [was] in Susa the citadel which [is] in Elam the province and I saw in the vision and I I was at [the] canal of Ulai.
Mʼanisoadehu mu no, mihuu sɛ na mewɔ Susa abanwa a ɛwɔ Elam mantam no mu; na mʼanisoadehu mu no, na mewɔ Asuka Ulai ho.
3 And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! - a ram one [was] standing before the canal and [belonged] to it two horns and the two horns [were] high and the one [was] high more than the second and the high [one] [was] growing up at the last.
Memaa mʼani so no, mihuu Odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn atenten abien na ogyina suka no ho wɔ mʼanim. Na ne mmɛn no woware. Na ne mmɛn no baako ware sen baako, nanso nea ɛware no, akyiri no, enyinii.
4 I saw the ram thrusting west-ward and north-ward and south-ward and any living creatures not they stood before it and there not [was one] delivering from hand its and it did according to pleasure its and it magnified itself.
Mehwɛɛ Odwennini no sɛ ɔrepempem kɔ atɔe, atifi ne anafo fam. Na aboa biara ntumi nnyina nʼanim, na obiara nni hɔ a obetumi agye obi foforo afi ne nsam. Ɔyɛɛ nea ɔpɛ, na ɔyɛɛ ɔkɛse.
5 And I - I was observing and there! [the] he-goat of the goats [was] coming from the west over [the] surface of all the earth and not [it was] touching the earth and the he-goat a horn of conspicuousness [was] between eyes its.
Bere a migu so redwen eyi ho no, prɛko pɛ, ɔpapo bi a ɔwɔ abɛn kɛse bi a etua nʼani abien no ntam pue fii atɔe fam, twaa mu faa asase no nyinaa so a ne nan mpo nka fam.
6 And it came to the ram [the] possessor of the two horns which I had seen standing before the canal and it ran against it in [the] rage of strength its.
Ɔde nʼani kyerɛɛ Odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn abien no a mihuu sɛ na ogyina suka no ho no. Na ɔde ahoɔden tuu mmirika kɔɔ ne so.
7 And I saw it approaching - beside the ram and it was enraged against it and it struck the ram and it broke [the] two horns its and not it was strength in the ram to stand before it and it threw it [the] ground towards and it trampled it and not anyone was delivering the ram from hand its.
Ɔpapo no sii ntɔkɔnan a emu yɛ den, na ɔpem Odwennini no bubuu ne mmɛn abien no. Odwennini no yɛɛ mmerɛw na wantumi annyina ɔpapo no anim; enti ɔpapo no pem no hwee fam, tiatiaa no so, na obiara antumi annye no amfi ne nsam.
8 And [the] he-goat of the goats it magnified itself up to muchness and just as became mighty it it was broken the horn great and they grew up conspicuousness four in place its to [the] four [the] winds of the heavens.
Ɔpapo no bɛyɛɛ oniɔdenfo kɛse. Nanso, nʼaniɔden no duu ne mpɔmpɔnso no, nʼabɛn kɛse no bui, na nʼanan mu no, mmɛn akɛse anan fifii a ɛkyerɛkyerɛ ɔsoro mframa anan no so.
9 And from the one of them it came out a horn one from a small [thing] and it became great excess to the south and to the east and to the beauty.
Abɛn foforo bi puee wɔ mmɛn akɛse no mu baako ho. Efii ase kakraa bi, na ne tumi yɛɛ kɛse kɔɔ anafo ne apuei fam, de kɔɔ Asase Fɛɛfɛ no so.
10 And it became great to [the] host of the heavens and it made fall [the] ground towards some of the host and some of the stars and it trampled them.
Enyinii ara kɔkaa ɔsoro asafo, na ɔtotow asafo no mu bi a wɔyɛ nsoromma guguu fam, tiatiaa wɔn so.
11 And to [the] commander of the host it magnified itself and from him (it was removed *Q(K)*) the perpetual [offering] and it was thrown down [the] place of sanctuary his.
Na ɔmaa ne ho so bɛyɛɛ ne ho ɔkɛse sɛ ɔsoro asafo no Sahene. Ogyee daa daa afɔre fii ne nsam, na ɔsɛee ne kronkron tenabea hɔ.
12 And an army it will be set over the perpetual [offering] in transgression and it will throw down truth [the] ground towards and it will act and it will succeed.
Esiane atuatew no nti, wɔde ahotefo asafo no ne wɔn daa daa afɔre maa no. Na wɔtow nokware kyenee.
13 And I heard! one holy [one] speaking and he said one holy [one] to the certain [one] who was speaking until when? [will be] the vision the perpetual [offering] and the transgression desolate to give over and [the] sanctuary and an army trampling.
Afei metee ɔkronkronni bi sɛ ɔrekasa, na ɔkronkronni foforo bisaa no se, “Bere bɛn na anisoadehu yi bɛba mu—nea ɛfa daa daa afɔre, atuatew a ɛde ɔsɛe ba, kronkron tenabea a wobegyaa mu ama, ne Awurade asafo a wobetiatia wɔn so no?”
14 And he said to me until evening morning two thousand and three hundreds and it will be put right [the] sanctuary.
Obuaa no se, “Ebedi anwummere ne anɔpa ahorow 2,300, ansa na wɔasan atew kronkron tenabea no ho.”
15 And it was when saw I I Daniel the vision and I sought! understanding and there! [was] standing to before me like [the] appearance of a man.
Bere a me Daniel, merehwɛ anisoadehu na mepɛɛ sɛ mete ase no, obi a ɔte sɛ ɔbarima begyinaa mʼanim.
16 And I heard [the] voice of a person between Ulai and he called and he said O Gabriel explain to this [one] the vision.
Na metee onipa nne a ɛrefrɛ fi Ulai mu se, “Gabriel, kyerɛ saa ɔbarima yi anisoadehu no ase.”
17 And he came beside standing place my and when came he I was terrified and I fell! on face my and he said to me understand O son of humankind that [is] for [the] time of [the] end the vision.
Ɔrebɛn faako a na migyina no, misuroe, na mede mʼanim butuw fam. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, te ase sɛ anisoadehu no fa awieibere no ho.”
18 And when spoke he with me I was dazed on face my [the] ground towards and he touched me and he made stand me on standing place my.
Bere a ɔrekasa akyerɛ me no, medaa nnahɔɔ a mʼanim butuw fam. Na osoo me mu de me gyinaa mʼanan so.
19 And he said here I [am] making known to you [that] which it will be at [the] end of the indignation for [it is] for [the] appointed time of [the] end.
Ɔkae se, “Merebɛka nea ebesi akyiri no wɔ abufuwbere mu akyerɛ wo, efisɛ anisoadehu no fa awiei bere a wɔahyɛ no ho.
20 The ram which you saw [the] possessor of the two horns [is] [the] kings of Media and Persia.
Odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn abien no gyina hɔ ma Media ne Persia ahemfo no.
21 And the he-goat hairy [is] [the] king of Greece and the horn great which [is] between eyes its it [is] the king first.
Ɔpapo niɔdenfo no yɛ Helahene, na abɛn kɛse a etua nʼani ntam no yɛ ɔhene a odi kan no.
22 And the broken [horn] and they arose four [horns] in place its four kingdoms from a nation they will arise and not with power its.
Mmɛn anan a ebesisii mmɛn a ebubuu no anan mu no gyina hɔ ma ahenni anan a ɛbɛsɔre afi ne man no mu, nanso wɔn tumidi renyɛ pɛ.
23 And at [the] end of reign their when are completed the rebels he will arise a king strong of face and understanding of intrigue.
“Wɔn adedi no rekɔ awiei no, bere a atuatewfo no ayɛ atirimɔden mmoroso no, ɔhene a ɔyɛ den, na odi akɔntɔnkyesɛm bɛsɔre.
24 And it will be mighty power his and not by own power his and wonders he will destroy and he will succeed and he will act and he will destroy mighty [ones] and a people of holy [ones].
Ɔbɛyɛ den yiye a emfi nʼankasa tumi mu. Ɔbɛsɛe ade ama nnipa ho adwiriw wɔn, na obedi nkonim wɔ biribiara a ɔbɛyɛ mu. Ɔbɛsɛe ahoɔdenfo ne akronkronfo.
25 And on insight his and he will make successful deceit by hand his and in heart his he will magnify himself and in prosperity he will destroy many [people] and on a prince of princes he will stand and by not a hand he will be broken.
Ɔbɛma nnaadaa agye ntin, na ɔbɛyɛ ahomaso. Ɔbɛsɛe bebree a ɔmmɔ nkae, na ɔbɛsɔre atia ahenemma mu Ɔheneba no, nanso wɔbɛsɛe no a emfi onipa ahoɔden mu.
26 And [the] vision of the evening and the morning which it has been told [is] truth it and you keep secret the vision for [it is] for days many.
“Anwummere ne anɔpa anisoadehu a wɔde ama wo no yɛ nokware, nanso, so ano, efisɛ ɛfa daakye bi a ennya mmae ho.”
27 And I Daniel I was done [in] and I was sick days and I arose and I did [the] work of the king and I was appalled on the vision and there not [was one] giving understanding.
Me, Daniel, meyɛɛ mmerɛw, na meyaree nna kakra. Akyiri no, mesɔre kɔyɛɛ ɔhene adwuma. Anisoadehu no yɛɛ me ahodwiriw; na ɛboroo ntease so.
