Daniel 2
1 In the secounde yeer of the rewme of Nabugodonosor, Nabugodonosor siy a dreem; and his spirit was aferd, and his dreem fledde awei fro hym.
Nebukadnessar adedie mfeɛ mmienu so, ɔsosoo daeɛ bi ma ɛhaa no ara kɔsii sɛ, na ɔntumi nna.
2 Therfor the kyng comaundide, that the dyuynours, and astronomyens, and witchis, and Caldeis schulden be clepid togidere, that thei schulden telle to the kyng hise dremys; and whanne thei weren comun, thei stoden bifor the king.
Ɔfrɛɛ ne nkonyaayifoɔ, pɛadeɛhunufoɔ, ntafowayifoɔ ne Kaldeafoɔ bisaa wɔn sɛ, wɔnkyerɛ no daeɛ ko no. Wɔbɛgyinaa ɔhene no anim no,
3 And the king seide to hem, Y siy a dreem, and Y am schent in mynde, and Y knowe not what Y siy.
ɔkaa sɛ, “Maso daeɛ bi a ɛha me, enti mepɛ sɛ monkyerɛ me daeɛ ko a mesoeɛ no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ mehunu.”
4 And Caldeis answeriden the kyng bi Sirik langage, Kyng, liue thou with outen ende; seie thi dreem to thi seruauntis, and we schulen schewe to thee the expownyng therof.
Na Kaldeafoɔ no buaa no wɔ Arameike kasa mu sɛ, “Ɔhene nkwa so! Ka daeɛ no kyerɛ yɛn, na yɛbɛkyerɛ aseɛ.”
5 And the kyng answeride, and seide to Caldeis, The word is goen awei fro me; if ye schewen not to me the dreem, and expownyng therof, ye schulen perische, and youre housis schulen be forfetid.
Nanso, ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Kaldeafoɔ no sɛ, “Yei ne gyinaeɛ a masi wɔ asɛm yi ho. Sɛ moantumi anka me daeɛ no, na moankyerɛ me aseɛ a, wɔbɛtwitwa mo mu asinasini, na wɔbɛbubu mo afie, ama afu wira.
6 Forsothe if ye tellen the dreem, and the expownyng therof, ye schulen take of me meedis and yiftis, and myche onour; therfor schewe ye to me the dreem, and the interpretyng therof.
Na sɛ moka me daeɛ no, kyerɛ me aseɛ a, mɛma mo akyɛdeɛ a ɛso bi mmaa da, na mabɔ mo aba so. Monka daeɛ no, na monkyerɛ me aseɛ.”
7 Thei answeriden the secounde tyme, and seiden, The kyng seie the dreem to hise seruauntis, and we schulen schewe the interpretyng therof.
Wɔkaa bio sɛ, “Yɛsrɛ wo, Nana, ka daeɛ no kyerɛ wʼasomfoɔ, na yɛbɛkyerɛ wo aseɛ.”
8 The kyng answeride, and seide, Certis Y woot, that ye ayenbien the tyme, and witen that the word is goen awei fro me.
Ɔhene no buaa sɛ, “Mahunu mo nnaadaa no. Mahunu sɛ, moretwentwɛn ɛberɛ no so, na monim gyinaeɛ a masi asɛm a mekaeɛ no ho.
9 Therfor if ye schewen not to me the dreem, o sentence is of you, for ye maken an interpretyng bothe fals and ful of disseit, that ye speke to me til the tyme passe; therfor seie ye the dreem to me, that Y wite, that ye speke also the veri interpretyng therof.
Sɛ moanka daeɛ no ankyerɛ me a, asotwe baako pɛ na ɛda hɔ ma mo. Moapam sɛ mobɛdi atorɔ adaadaa me. Mosusu sɛ asɛm no bɛsesa. Monka daeɛ no nkyerɛ me, na ɛbɛma mahunu sɛ mobɛtumi akyerɛ aseɛ.”
10 Therfor Caldeis answeriden bifor the kyng, and seiden, Kyng, no man is on erthe, that mai fille thi word; but nether ony greet man and myyti of kyngis axith siche a word of ony dyuynour, and astronomyen, and of a man of Caldee.
Kaldeafoɔ no buaa Ɔhene no sɛ, “Onipa teasefoɔ biara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtumi akyerɛ wo, Nana, wo daeɛ a woaso no. Na ɔhene biara nso nni hɔ, sɛ ɔkorɔn anaa ne tumi so, a wabisa nkonyaayifoɔ, pɛadeɛhunufoɔ anaa Kaldeafoɔ saa asɛm yi bi pɛn.
11 For the word which thou, kyng, axist, is greuouse, nether ony schal be foundun, that schal schewe it in the siyt of the king, outakun goddis, whos lyuyng is not with men.
Ɔhene abisadeɛ yi yɛ den dodo. Obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtumi aka wo daeɛ no gye anyame. Nanso, wɔn tenabea nni ewiase yi mu.”
12 And whanne this word was herd, the kyng comaundide, in woodnesse and in greet ire, that alle the wise men of Babiloyne schulden perische.
Ɔhene no tee saa asɛm yi no, ne bo fuu yie, enti ɔhyɛɛ sɛ, wɔnkunkum anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ Babilonia nyinaa.
13 And bi the sentence goon out, the wise men weren slayn; and Danyel and hise felows weren souyt, that thei schulden perische.
Na ɛsiane ɔhene no mmara den sɛ wɔnkunkum anyansafoɔ no enti, wɔsomaa mmarima sɛ wɔnkɔhwehwɛ Daniel ne ne nnamfonom, na wɔnkunkum wɔn.
14 Thanne Danyel axide of the lawe and sentence, of Ariok, prynce of chyualrie of the kyng, that was gon out to sle the wise men of Babiloyne.
Ɛberɛ a, Ariok a ɔyɛ ɔhene no awɛmfoɔ so panin baa sɛ ɔrebɛkum wɔn no, Daniel faa nyansakwan so ne no kasaeɛ.
15 And he axide hym, that hadde take power of the kyng, for what cause so cruel a sentence yede out fro the face of the kyng. Therfor whanne Ariok hadde schewid the thing to Danyel,
Daniel bisaa Ariok sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɔhene hyɛɛ mmara a ano yɛ den saa?” Na Ariok kaa deɛ asi nyinaa kyerɛɛ no.
16 Danyel entride, and preyede the kyng, that he schulde yyue tyme to hym to schewe the soilyng to the kyng.
Daniel kɔhunuu Ɔhene no, na ɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔmma no berɛ kakra na ɔbɛba abɛkyerɛ daeɛ no ase.
17 And he entride in to his hous, and schewide the nede to Ananye, and to Misael, and Asarie,
Na Daniel kɔɔ ne fie kɔbɔɔ ne nnamfonom Hanania, Misael ne Asaria asɛm a asie.
18 hise felowis, that thei schulden axe merci of the face of God of heuene on this sacrament; and that Danyel and hise felowis schulden not perische with othere wise men of Babiloyne.
Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔmmisa ɔsoro Onyankopɔn sɛ, ɔnnom wɔn nʼahummɔborɔ sɛdeɛ wɔrenkum wɔn mfra anyansafoɔ nkaeɛ a wɔwɔ Babilonia no mu.
19 Thanne the priuyte was schewid to Danyel bi a visioun in nyyt. And Danyel blesside God of heuene, and seide,
Anadwo no, ɔdaa kɔkoamsɛm no adi kyerɛɛ Daniel wɔ anisoadehunu mu. Na Daniel kamfoo ɔsoro Onyankopɔn
20 The name of the Lord be blessid fro the world, and til in to the world, for wisdom and strengthe ben hise;
na ɔkaa sɛ, “Nkamfoɔ nka Onyankopɔn din daa nyinaa, ɔno nko na ɔwɔ nyansa ne tumi.
21 and he chaungith tymes and ages, he translatith rewmes and ordeyneth; he yyueth wisdom to wise men, and kunnyng to hem that vndurstonden techyng, ether chastisyng;
Ɔno na ɔsesa mmerɛ ne nnipa hyɛberɛ; ɔsi ahene, na ɔtu wɔn adeɛ so. Ɔma anyansafoɔ hunu nyansa, na ɔma nhunumu ho nimdeɛ.
22 he schewith deepe thingis and hid, and he knowith thingis set in derknessis, and liyt is with hym.
Ɔda nneɛma a emu dɔ na ɛyɛ nwanwa adi, na ɔnim deɛ ahinta wɔ sum mu; hann atwa ne ho ahyia.
23 God of oure fadris, Y knowleche to thee, and Y herie thee, for thou hast youe wisdom and strengthe to me; and now thou hast schewid to me tho thingis, whiche we preieden thee, for thou hast openyd to vs the word of the kyng.
Meda wo ase, kamfo wo mʼagyanom Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, woama me nyansa ne tumi; woaka deɛ yɛbisaa wo akyerɛ me, ada deɛ ɔhene bisaeɛ no adi akyerɛ yɛn.”
24 Aftir these thingis Danyel entride to Ariok, whom the kyng hadde ordeyned, that he schulde leese the wise men of Babiloyne, and thus he spak to hym, Leese thou not the wise men of Babiloyne; leede thou me in bifor the siyt of the kyng, and Y schal telle the soilyng to the kyng.
Afei, Daniel kɔhunuu Ariok a wɔahyɛ no sɛ ɔnkunkum anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ Babilonia no, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nkunkum anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ Babilonia no. Fa me kɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn, na mɛkyerɛ no ne daeɛ no ase.”
25 Thanne Ariok hastynge ledde in Danyel to the kyng, and seide to him, Y haue foundun a man of the sones of passyng ouer of Juda, that schal telle the soilyng to the kyng.
Na ntɛm ara, Ariok de Daniel kɔɔ ɔhene no anim kaa sɛ, “Mahunu atukɔfoɔ a wɔfiri Yuda no mu baako a ɔbɛkyerɛ wo, Nana, daeɛ no ase.”
26 The kyng answeride, and seide to Danyel, to whom the name was Balthasar, Whethir gessist thou, that thou maist verili schewe to me the dreem which Y siy, and the interpretyng therof?
Ɔhene no bisaa Daniel (a wɔsane frɛ no Beltesasar) no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ? Wobɛtumi akyerɛ me deɛ mehunuu wɔ me daeɛ no mu na woakyerɛ me aseɛ?”
27 And Danyel answeride bifore the king, and seide, The priuytee which the kyng axith, wise men, and astronomyens, and dyuynours, and lokeris of auteris, moun not schewe to the kyng.
Daniel buaa sɛ, “Nana, anyansafoɔ, pɛadeɛhunufoɔ, nkonyaayifoɔ anaa ntafowayifoɔ biara nni hɔ a wɔbɛtumi akyerɛ ahintasɛm a worebisa yi!
28 But God is in heuene, that schewith priuytees, which hath schewid to thee, thou king Nabugodonosor, what thingis schulen come in the laste tymes. Thi dreem and visiouns of thin heed, in thi bed, ben sich.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn bi wɔ ɔsoro a ɔda kɔkoamsɛm adi, na wakyerɛ ɔhene Nebukadnessar asɛm a ɛbɛsi daakye. Wo daeɛ no ne anisoadehunu a ɛberɛ a woda wo mpa so no wohunuiɛ nie:
29 Thou, kyng, bigunnest to thenke in thi bed, what was to comynge aftir these thingis; and he that schewith priuetees, schewide to thee what thingis schulen come.
“Nana, ɛberɛ a woreda no, wʼadwene kɔsisii nsɛm bi a ɛbɛsisi so. Deɛ ɔkyerɛ ahintasɛm mu no akyerɛ wo deɛ ɛrebɛba.
30 And this sacrament is schewid to me, not bi wisdom which is in me more than in alle lyuynge men, but that the interpretyng schulde be maad opyn to the kyng, and thou schuldist knowe the thouytis of thi soule.
Na ɛnnyɛ sɛ, Nana, menim nyansa kyɛn onipa teasefoɔ biara enti, na mmom Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ Nana nya ahintasɛm no asekyerɛ na ɔte deɛ ɛbaa nʼadwene mu no ase.
31 Thou, kyng, siyest, and lo! as o greet ymage; thilke ymage was greet, and hiy in stature, and stood bifore thee, and the loking therof was ferdful.
“Nana, wʼanisoadehunu no mu, wohunuu ohoni kɛseɛ bi sɛ ɔgyina wʼanim a ɔso pa ara na ɛharan hyɛnn na ne ho yɛ hu yie.
32 The heed of this ymage was of best gold, but the brest and armes weren of siluer; certis the wombe and thies weren of bras,
Sikakɔkɔɔ na wɔde yɛɛ ne ti; Dwetɛ na wɔde yɛɛ ne koko ne nʼabasa. Kɔbere na wɔde yɛɛ ne yafunu ne nʼasrɛ.
33 but the leggis weren of irun; forsothe sum part of the feet was of irun, sum was of erthe.
Dadeɛ na wɔde yɛɛ ne nan, na wɔde dadeɛ ne dɔteɛ a wɔde afra yɛɛ ne nantabon.
34 Thou siyest thus, til a stoon was kit doun of the hil, with outen hondis, and smoot the ymage in the irun feet therof and erthene feet, and al to-brak tho.
Na Nana, worehwɛ no, ɔboɔ bi a nsa biara nkura mu te bɛhwee dadeɛ ne dɔteɛ nantabon no so, pɛkyɛɛ no gɔsɔɔ.
35 Thanne the irun, tijl stoon, ether erthene vessel, bras, siluer, and gold, weren al to-brokun togidere, and dryuun as in to a deed sparcle of a large somer halle, that ben rauyschid of wynd, and no place is foundun to tho; forsothe the stoon, that smoot the ymage, was maad a greet hil, and fillide al erthe.
Afei Nana, ohoni mu no nyinaa a ɛyɛ dadeɛ, dɔteɛ, kɔbere, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ no nyinaa yam fekɔfekɔ, ma ɛyɛɛ sɛ ahuhuro berɛ mu ayuporobea so ntɛtɛ, ma mframa bɛhuu ne nyinaa kɔeɛ a, hwee anka hɔ. Nanso, ɔboɔ a ɛpem ohoni no hwee fam no danee bepɔ kɛseɛ a ɛkataa asase nyinaa so.
36 This is the dreem. Also, thou kyng, we schulen seie bifor thee the interpretyng therof.
“Nana, daeɛ no nie o, afei, yɛrebɛkyerɛ wo aseɛ.
37 Thou art kyng of kyngis, and God of heuene yaf to thee rewme, strengthe, and empire, and glorie;
Nana, woyɛ ahene bebree so ɔhene. Ɔsoro Onyankopɔn ayɛ wo ahene mu ɔhene, ama wo tumi, ahoɔden ne animuonyam.
38 and he yaf in thin hond alle thingis, in whiche the sones of men, and the beestis of the feeld, and the briddis of the eir dwellen, and ordeynede alle thingis vndur thi lordschip; therfor thou art the goldun heed.
Ɔde ewiase nnipa, mmoa a wɔwɔ wiram ne nnomaa a wɔtu ahyɛ wo nsa. Baabiara a wɔwɔ no, wɔayɛ wo wɔn so difoɔ. Wo na woyɛ saa sikakɔkɔɔ ti no.
39 And another rewme lesse than thou schal rise aftir thee; and the thridde rewme, an other of bras, that schal haue the empire of al erthe.
“Na wʼahemman aba nʼawieeɛ akyi no, ahemman a ɛnnto wo deɛ no bɛsɔre abɛsi wʼananmu. Sɛ saa ahemman no gu a, ahemman kɛseɛ foforɔ a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa a kɔbere yafunu ne asrɛ no gyina hɔ ma no no bɛsɔre adi ewiase so.
40 And the fourthe rewme schal be as irun, as irun makith lesse, and makith tame alle thingis, so it schal make lesse, and schal al to-breke alle these rewmes.
Nea ɛbɛdi saa ahemman no akyi no, ɛbɛyɛ ahemman a ɛtɔ so ɛnan a ɛso na ɛwɔ ahoɔden te sɛ dadeɛ. Saa ahemman no bɛbubu, ayam aman a adi ɛkan no nyinaa te sɛdeɛ dadeɛ bubu yam biribiara a ɛne no hyia no.
41 Forsothe that thou siest a part of the feet and fyngris of erthe of a pottere, and a part of irun, the rewme shal be departid; which netheles schal rise of the plauntyng of irun, `bi that that thou siest irun meynd with a tijl stoon of clei,
Nana, sɛdeɛ wohunu sɛ nantabon ne nansoaa yɛ dadeɛ ne dɔteɛ a adi afra no kyerɛ sɛ, saa ahemman yi mu bɛkyekyɛ.
42 and the toos of the feet in parti of irun, and in parti of erthe, in parti the rewme schal be sad, and in parti to-brokun.
Nʼafaafa bi bɛyɛ den sɛ dadeɛ, na ebi ayɛ mmerɛ sɛ dɔteɛ.
43 Forsothe that thou siest irun meynd with a tiel stoon of clei, sotheli tho schulen be meynd togidere with mannus seed; but tho schulen not cleue to hem silf, as irun mai not be meddlid with tyel stoon.
Saa dadeɛ ne dɔteɛ mfrafraeɛ no sane kyerɛ sɛ, saa ahemman no bɛyɛ nnipa ahodoɔ a wɔadi afra a wɔntumi nka wɔn ho mmɔ mu sɛdeɛ dadeɛ ne dɔteɛ ntumi nni afra no.
44 Forsothe in the daies of tho rewmes, God of heuene shal reise a rewme, that schal not be distried with outen ende, and his rewme schal not be youun to another puple; it schal make lesse, and schal waste alle these rewmes, and it schal stonde with outen ende,
“Saa ahemfo no adedie mu no, Ɔsoro Onyankopɔn bɛbɔ ahemman bi atenaseɛ a ɛrensɛe da; na obiara renni so da. Ɛbɛdwɛre ahemman ahodoɔ yi nyinaa de wɔn aba awieeɛ, na ɛno deɛ, ɛbɛgyina afebɔɔ.
45 bi this that thou siest, that a stoon was kit doun of the hil with outen hondis, and maad lesse the tiel stoon, and irun, and bras, and siluer, and gold. Greet God hath schewid to the kyng, what thingis schulen come aftirward; and the dreem is trewe, and the interpretyng therof is feithful.
Ɔboɔ no a nsa biara nkura mu na ɛtwa firi bepɔ no so a ɛyam dadeɛ, kɔbere, dɔteɛ, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ mfrafraeɛ ohoni no gyina hɔ ma saa ɔman no. “Onyankopɔn kokuroko akyerɛ Nana, deɛ ɛbɛba daakye. Daeɛ no yɛ nokorɛ, na ne nkyerɛaseɛ yɛ kann.”
46 Thanne king Nabugodonosor felle doun on his face, and worschipide Danyel, and comaundide sacrifices and encense to be brouyt, that tho schulden be sacrifised to hym.
Ɔhene Nebukadnessar bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ Daniel anim, somm no, na ɔhyɛɛ ne manfoɔ sɛ, wɔmfa afɔrebɔdeɛ mmra, na wɔnhye aduhwam wɔ nʼanim.
47 Therfor the kyng spak, and seide to Danyel, Verili youre God is God of goddis, and Lord of kyngis, that schewith mysteries, for thou miytist opene this sacrament.
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Daniel sɛ, “Nokorɛ, wo Onyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ anyame mu; ɔyɛ Awurade wɔ ahene so ahintasɛm mu kyerɛfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wo na woatumi akyerɛ saa kɔkoamsɛm yi mu.”
48 Thanne the kyng reiside Danyel an hiy, and yaf many yiftis and grete to hym; and ordeynede hym prince and prefect, ether cheef iustise, ouer alle the prouynces of Babiloyne, and maister ouer alle the wise men of Babiloyne.
Afei, ɔhene no maa Daniel dibea a ɛkorɔn yie sane yɛɛ no ayɛ a ɛsom bo yie. Ɔmaa Daniel bɛyɛɛ sohwɛfoɔ wɔ Babiloniaman no mu nyinaa, na ɔde no sii nʼanyansafoɔ no nyinaa so ɔhene.
49 Forsothe Danyel axide of the kyng, and ordeynede Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago ouer alle the werkis of the prouynce of Babiloyne; but Danyel hym silf was in the yatis of the kyng.
Daniel bisa ma wɔyɛɛ Sadrak, Mesak ne Abednego, Babilonia asase no so ahwɛfoɔ, na Daniel yɛɛ ɔsomfoɔ wɔ ɔhene aban mu.
