Daniel 7
1 In the firste yeer of Balthasar, kyng of Babiloyne, Danyel siy a sweuene. Forsothe he wroot the visioun of his hed in his bed, and the dreem, and comprehendide in schort word; and he touchide schortli the sentence,
Ɔhene Belsasar adedie afe a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ Babilonia mu no, Daniel soo daeɛ, hunuu anisoadehunu ahodoɔ ɛberɛ a ɔda ne mpa so no. Ɔtwerɛɛ daeɛ no mu nsɛm titire too hɔ.
2 and seide, Y siy in my visioun in niyt, and lo! foure wyndis of heuene fouyten in the myddis of the greet see.
Daniel kaa sɛ, “Mʼanisoadehunu no mu saa anadwo no, mehunuu ɔsoro mframa ɛnan a ɛrebobɔ fa ɛpo kɛseɛ no so.
3 And foure grete beestis dyuerse bitwixe hem silf stieden fro the see.
Afei, mmoa akɛseɛ ɛnan bi pue firii ɛpo no mu a wɔn mu biara bɔbea nko.
4 The firste beeste was as a lionesse, and hadde wyngis of an egle. Y bihelde til the wyngis therof weren pullid awei, and it was takun awei fro erthe, and it stood as a man on the feet, and the herte therof was youun to it.
“Na aboa a ɔdi ɛkan no te sɛ gyata a ɔwɔ ɔkɔdeɛ ntaban. Mehwɛɛ no ara kɔsii sɛ wɔtutuu ne ntaban no, na wɔpagyaa no ma ɔgyinaa ne nan mmienu so te sɛ onipa. Na wɔmaa no onipa adwen.
5 And lo! another beeste, lijk a bere in parti, stood, and thre ordris weren in the mouth therof, and thre princes in the teeth therof. And thus thei seiden to it, Rise thou, ete thou ful many fleischis.
“Afei, mehunuu aboa a ɔtɔ so mmienu a na ɔte sɛ sisire. Na ɔda ne nkyɛn mu a na mfempadeɛ mmiɛnsa hyɛ ne se ntam wɔ nʼanom. Na wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Sɔre na we ɛnam a wobɛtumi!’
6 Aftir these thingis Y bihelde, and lo! anothir beeste as a pard, and it hadde on it silf foure wyngis of a brid, and foure heedis weren in the beeste, and power was youun to it.
“Yei akyi no, mehunuu aboa foforɔ a ɔte sɛ ɔsebɔ. Na ɔwɔ ntaban ɛnan a ɛte sɛ nnomaa ntaban a ɛtuatua nʼakyi. Saa aboa yi wɔ tire ɛnan, na wɔmaa no tumi kɛseɛ.
7 Aftir these thingis Y bihelde in the visioun of niyt, and lo! the fourthe beeste, ferdful, and wondirful, and ful strong. It hadde grete irun teeth, and it ete, and made lesse, and defoulide with hise feet othere thingis; forsothe it was vnlijk othere beestis, which Y hadde seyn bifore it, and it hadde ten hornes.
“Yei akyi no, mʼanisoadehunu anadwo no, mehunuu aboa a ɔtɔ so ɛnan a ne ho yɛ hu yie, na ne ho yɛ den nso. Ɔwɔ se akɛseɛ a ɛyɛ dadeɛ na ɔde bubu mmoa a ɔkyere wɔn na wawe, na afei ɔde ne nan tiatia nkaeɛ no so. Ɔda nso koraa wɔ mmoa nkaeɛ no mu. Na ɔwɔ mmɛn edu.
8 Y bihelde the hornes, and lo! an other litil horn cam forth of the myddis of tho, and thre of the firste hornes weren drawun out fro the face therof; and lo! iyen as iyen of a man weren in this horn, and a mouth spekynge grete thingis.
“Ɛberɛ a megu so redwene mmɛn no ho no, abɛn ketewa foforɔ bi pueɛ wɔ mmɛn dada no ntam, na ɛtutuu mmɛn dada no mu mmiɛnsa. Na saa abɛn ketewa no wɔ aniwa te sɛ onipa, na ɔwɔ ano a ɛkasa ahantan so.
9 Y bihelde, til that trones weren set, and the elde of daies sat; his cloth was whijt as snow, and the heeris of his heed weren as cleene wolle, his trone was as flawmes of fier, hise wheelis weren fier kyndlid.
“Megu so rehwɛ no, “mehunuu sɛ, wɔde nhennwa bɛsisii hɔ, na Deɛ ɔwɔ hɔ firi Tete no bɛtenaa ase. Na nʼatadeɛ yɛ fitaa sɛ sukyerɛmma; na ne tirinwi hoa sɛ odwan nwi. Nʼahennwa dɛre sɛ ogyaframa na nʼahennwa nhankra nso dɛree framfram.
10 A flood of fier and rennynge faste yede out fro his face, a thousynde thousynde mynistriden to hym, and ten sithis a thousynde sithis an hundrid thousynde stoden niy hym; the dom sat, and bookis weren opened.
Na ogya a ɛte sɛ asubɔnten tene firii nʼanim baeɛ. Abɔfoɔ mpempem kotoo no, na ɔpepe nso gyinagyinaa nʼanim. Abadwafoɔ no tenaa ase, na wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ buebuee nwoma mu.
11 Y bihelde for the vois of grete wordis whiche thilke horn spak; and Y siy that the beeste was slayn, and his bodi was perischid, and was youun to be brent in fier.
“Na mekɔɔ so hwɛeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na abɛn ketewa no de ahantan rekasa. Mehwɛeɛ ara kɔsii sɛ wɔkumm aboa no, na wɔtoo no twenee ogyaframa a ɛrederɛ framfram no mu.
12 And Y siy that the power of othere beestis was takun awei, and the tymes of lijf weren ordeyned to hem, til to tyme and tyme.
Mmoa a aka no nso, wɔgyee wɔn tumi firii wɔn nsam, ma wɔtenaa ase kyɛree kakra.
13 Therfor Y bihelde in the visyoun of niyt, and lo! as a sone of man cam with the cloudis of heuene; and he cam fulli til to the elde of daies, and in the siyt of hym thei offriden hym.
“Anadwo a menyaa mʼanisoadehunu no, mehwɛ hunuu obi te sɛ onipa ba no a ɔnam ɔsoro omununkum mu reba. Ɔbɛn Deɛ ɔwɔ hɔ firi Tete no, wɔdii nʼanim kɔɔ ne nkyɛn.
14 And he yaf to hym power, and onour, and rewme, and alle the puplis, lynagis, and langagis schulen serue hym; his power is euerlastynge power, that schal not be takun awei, and his rewme, that schal not be corrupt.
Wɔmaa no tumi, animuonyam ne adehyetumi; na aman ne kasa ahodoɔ nyinaa somm no. Nʼahennie yɛ daa ahennie a ɛtoɔ rentwa da. Nʼahemman yɛ deɛ ɛrensɛe da.”
15 My spirit hadde orrour, ether hidousnesse; Y, Danyel, was aferd in these thingis, and the siytis of myn heed disturbliden me.
“Me, Daniel, deɛ mehunuiɛ no nyinaa haa me wɔ honhom mu, na mʼanisoadehunu no bɔɔ me hu.
16 Y neiyede to oon of the stonderis niy, and Y axide of hym the treuthe of alle these thingis. And he seide to me the interpretyng of wordis, and he tauyte me.
Enti, mekɔɔ wɔn a wɔgyinagyina hɔ no mu baako, kɔbisaa no saa nneɛma no nyinaa ase. “Ɔkyerɛɛ me aseɛ sɛ:
17 These foure grete beestis ben foure rewmes, that schulen rise of erthe.
‘Saa mmoa akɛseɛ ɛnan yi gyina hɔ ma ahemman ɛnan a wɔbɛsɔre asase so.
18 Forsothe hooli men schulen take the rewme of hiyeste God, and thei schulen holde the rewme, til in to the world, and `til in to the world of worldis.
Nanso, Ɔsorosoroni no ahotefoɔ no bɛgye ahemman no na wɔafa no afebɔɔ.’
19 Aftir these thingis Y wolde lerne diligentli of the fourthe beeste, that was greetli vnlijk fro alle, and was ful ferdful, the teeth and nailis therof weren of irun; it eet, and made lesse, and defoulide with hise feet othere thingis.
“Afei, mepɛɛ sɛ mehunu aboa a ɔtɔ so ɛnan no a na ɔda nso wɔ nkaeɛ no mu no nkyerɛaseɛ. Na ne ho yɛ hu yie, na ɔde ne se a ɛyɛ dadeɛ ne nʼabɔwerɛ a ɛyɛ kɔbere no tete mmoa a ɔkyere wɔn no we, na afei ɔde ne nan tiatia nkaeɛ no so.
20 And of ten hornes whiche it hadde in the heed, and of the tother horn, that cam forth, bifore which thre hornes fellen doun, and of that horn that hadde iyen, and a mouth spekynge grete thingis, and was grettere than othere;
Afei, mepɛɛ sɛ mete mmɛn edu a na ɛtuatua ne tiri ho ne deɛ ɛpuee akyire no ase. Ɛbɛsɛee deɛ na ɛwɔ hɔ dada no mu mmiɛnsa, na yei yɛ abɛn a ɛdi mu kyɛn nkaeɛ no a na ɛwɔ onipa aniwa ne ano a ɛkasa ahantan so.
21 I bihelde, and lo! thilke horn made batel ayens hooli men, and hadde maistrie of hem,
Mehwɛeɛ no, na saa abɛn yi atu ateneneefoɔ no so sa redi wɔn so nkonim,
22 til the elde of daies cam, and hiy God yaf doom to hooli men; and lo! tyme cam, and hooli men goten rewme.
kɔsii sɛ, Deɛ ɔwɔ ho firi Tete no baeɛ, bɛbuu atɛn, maa Ɔsorosoroni ahotefoɔ no dii bem. Afei, ɛberɛ duruiɛ sɛ, wɔfa ahemman no.
23 And he seide thus, The fourthe beeste schal be the fourthe rewme in erthe, that schal be more than alle rewmes, and it schal deuoure al erthe, and it schal defoule, and make lesse that erthe.
“Afei, ɔkyerɛɛ me aseɛ sɛ, ‘Saa aboa a ɔtɔ so ɛnan yi yɛ ahemman a ɛtɔ so ɛnan a ɛbɛba asase so. Ɛbɛda nso wɔ ahemman a aka no nyinaa mu. Ɛbɛmene asase nyinaa, na atiatia so abubu no asinasini.
24 Forsothe ten hornes schulen be ten kyngis of that rewme; and another kyng schal rise after hem, and he schal be miytiere than the formere, and he schal make low thre kyngis.
Ne mmɛn edu no yɛ ahemfo edu a wɔbɛfiri saa ahemman no mu. Afei, ɔhene foforɔ bɛsɔre a ɔda nso wɔ edu a aka no mu a ɔbɛbrɛ ahemfo no mu mmiɛnsa ase.
25 And he schal speke wordis ayens the hiy God, and he schal defoule the seyntis of the hiyeste; and he schal gesse, that he mai chaunge tymes and lawis; and thei schulen be youun in to his hondis, til to tyme, and times, and the half of tyme.
Ɔbɛkasa atia Ɔsorosoroni no, na wahyɛ ahotefoɔ no so. Ɔbɛbɔ mmɔden sɛ, ɔbɛsesa wɔn afahyɛ kronkron ahodoɔ ne wɔn mmara no, na wɔde wɔn ahyɛ nʼase kɔsi mmerɛ bi.
26 And doom schal sitte, that the power be takun awei, and be al to-brokun, and perische til in to the ende.
“‘Nanso, abadwafoɔ bɛtena ase, na wɔagye ne tumi nyinaa, na wɔasɛe no korakora.
27 Sotheli that the rewme, and power, and the greetnesse of rewme, which is vndur ech heuene, be youun to the puple of the seintis of the hiyeste, whos rewme is euerlastynge rewme, and alle kingis schulen serue, and obeie to hym.
Afei, wɔde ahennie ne tumi ne kɛseyɛ a ɛwɔ ahemman a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa bɛma ahotefoɔ, Ɔsorosoroni no nkurɔfoɔ. Na nʼahemman bɛtena hɔ daa, na ahemfo nyinaa bɛsɔre no na wɔayɛ ɔsetie ama no.’
28 Hidur to is the ende of the word. Y, Danyel, was disturblid myche in my thouytis, and my face was chaungid in me; forsothe Y kepte the word in myn herte.
“Asɛm no awieeɛ nie. Me, Daniel, mʼadwendwene yi haa me yie na mʼanim sesaeɛ na mede saa nsɛm yi siee mʼakoma mu.”
