Daniel 8
1 'In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision hath appeared unto me — I Daniel — after that which had appeared unto 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 see in a vision, and it cometh to pass, in my seeing, and I [am] in Shushan the palace that [is] in Elam the province, and I see in a vision, and I have been by the stream 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 lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain ram is standing before the stream, and it hath two horns, and the two horns [are] high; and the one [is] higher than the other, and the high one is coming up 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 have seen the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no living creatures do stand before it, and there is none delivering out of its hand, and it hath done according to its pleasure, and hath exerted 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 have been considering, and lo, a young he-goat hath come from the west, over the face of the whole earth, whom none is touching in the earth; as to the young he-goat, a conspicuous horn [is] between its eyes.
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 cometh unto the ram possessing the two horns, that I had seen standing before the stream, and runneth unto it in the fury of its power.
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 have seen it coming near the ram, and it becometh embittered at it, and smiteth the ram, and breaketh its two horns, and there hath been no power in the ram to stand before it, and it casteth it to the earth, and trampleth it down, and there hath been no deliverer to the ram out of its power.
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 young he-goat hath exerted itself very much, and when it is strong, broken hath been the great horn; and come up doth a vision of four in its place, at the four 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 come forth hath a little horn, and it exerteth itself greatly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous [land];
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 yea, it exerteth unto the host of the heavens, and causeth to fall to the earth of the host, and of the stars, and trampleth them down.
Enyinii ara kɔkaa ɔsoro asafo, na ɔtotow asafo no mu bi a wɔyɛ nsoromma guguu fam, tiatiaa wɔn so.
11 And unto the prince of the host it exerteth itself, and by it taken away hath been the continual [sacrifice], and thrown down the base of his sanctuary.
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 the host is given up, with the continual [sacrifice], through transgression, and it throweth down truth to the earth, and it hath worked, and prospered.
Esiane atuatew no nti, wɔde ahotefo asafo no ne wɔn daa daa afɔre maa no. Na wɔtow nokware kyenee.
13 'And I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy one saith to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: Till when [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the transgression, an astonishment, to make both sanctuary and host a treading down?
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 saith unto me, Till evening — morning two thousand and three hundred, then is the holy place declared right.
Obuaa no se, “Ebedi anwummere ne anɔpa ahorow 2,300, ansa na wɔasan atew kronkron tenabea no ho.”
15 'And it cometh to pass in my seeing — I, Daniel — the vision, that I require understanding, and lo, standing over-against me [is] as the appearance of a mighty one.
Bere a me Daniel, merehwɛ anisoadehu na mepɛɛ sɛ mete ase no, obi a ɔte sɛ ɔbarima begyinaa mʼanim.
16 And I hear a voice of man between [the banks of] Ulai, and he calleth and saith: Gabriel, cause this [one] to understand the appearance.
Na metee onipa nne a ɛrefrɛ fi Ulai mu se, “Gabriel, kyerɛ saa ɔbarima yi anisoadehu no ase.”
17 And he cometh in near my station, and at his coming in I have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he saith unto me: Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end [is] 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 in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth; and he cometh against me, and causeth me to stand on my station,
Bere a ɔrekasa akyerɛ me no, medaa nnahɔɔ a mʼanim butuw fam. Na osoo me mu de me gyinaa mʼanan so.
19 and saith: Lo, I — I am causing thee to know that which is in the latter end of the indignation; for, at the appointed time [is] 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 that thou hast seen possessing two horns, [are] the kings of Media and Persia.
Odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn abien no gyina hɔ ma Media ne Persia ahemfo no.
21 And the young he-goat, the hairy one, [is] the king of Javan; and the great horn that [is] between its eyes is the first king;
Ɔpapo niɔdenfo no yɛ Helahene, na abɛn kɛse a etua nʼani ntam no yɛ ɔhene a odi kan no.
22 and that being broken, stand up do four in its place, four kingdoms from the nation do stand up, and not in its power.
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 in the latter end of their kingdom, about the perfecting of the transgressors, stand up doth a king, fierce of face, and understanding hidden things;
“Wɔn adedi no rekɔ awiei no, bere a atuatewfo no ayɛ atirimɔden mmoroso no, ɔhene a ɔyɛ den, na odi akɔntɔnkyesɛm bɛsɔre.
24 and his power hath been mighty, and not by his own power; and wonderful things he destroyeth, and he hath prospered, and wrought, and destroyed mighty ones, and the people of the 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 by his understanding he hath also caused deceit to prosper in his hand, and in his heart he exerteth himself, and by ease he destroyeth many; and against the prince of princes he standeth — and without hand he is 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 appearance of the evening and of the morning, that is told, is true; and thou, hide thou the vision, for [it is] after many days.'
“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, have been, yea, I became sick [for] days, and I rise, and do the king's work, and am astonished at the appearance, and there is none understanding.
Me, Daniel, meyɛɛ mmerɛw, na meyaree nna kakra. Akyiri no, mesɔre kɔyɛɛ ɔhene adwuma. Anisoadehu no yɛɛ me ahodwiriw; na ɛboroo ntease so.
