Daniel 10
1 Le Sirus, Persia fia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe etɔ̃lia me la, Daniel, ame si wogayɔna be Beltesazar la xɔ ɖeɖefia aɖe. Nya si wòhe vɛ la nye nyateƒe eye wòku ɖe aʋa gã aɖe ŋu. Gbedeasi la gɔmesese va nɛ le ŋutega aɖe me.
In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, was a revelation made to Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar; and the revelation is true, and relateth to long warfare. And he gave heed to the revelation, and had understanding of the vision.
2 Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, nye Daniel, mexa nu kɔsiɖa etɔ̃.
In those days, I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 Nyemeɖu nu nyui aɖeke o, lã kple wain meka nu nam o eye nyemesi ami aɖeke kura o va se ɖe esime kɔsiɖa etɔ̃ la wu enu.
I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, till three whole weeks were ended.
4 Le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-enelia dzi, esi metsi tsitre ɖe tɔsisi gã, Tigris, to la,
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river Hiddekel,
5 mefɔ kɔ dzi eye ŋutsu aɖe si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu eye sika nyuitɔ si tso Ufaz ƒe alidziblanu le ali dzi nɛ la nɔ nye ŋkume.
I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man, clothed in linen garments, and his loins girded with gold of Uphaz.
6 Eƒe ŋutilã nɔ abe adzagba ene, eƒe mo nɔ abe dzikedzo ene, eƒe ŋkuwo nɔ abe akakati bibiwo ene, eƒe abɔwo kple afɔwo nɔ abe akɔbli nyuitɔ si le dzo dam la ene eye eƒe gbe nɔ abe ameha gã aɖe ƒe hoowɔwɔ ene.
His body was like chrysolite, and his face had the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like the appearance of polished brass, and the sound of his words was as the shout of a multitude.
7 Nye, Daniel koe nye ame si kpɔ ŋutega la; ame siwo nɔ gbɔnye la mekpɔe o, gake vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo ale gbegbe be wosi ɖaɣla wo ɖokuiwo.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision and the men who were with me saw not the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
8 Ale nye ɖeka metsi anyi henɔ ŋutega la kpɔm. Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye, nye mo fu kpĩi eye wɔna vɔ le ŋunye.
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision; and there remained no strength in me, and my color was changed upon me into a deadly paleness, and I retained no strength.
9 Tete mesee wònɔ nu ƒom eye esi menɔ to ɖom la, meyi alɔ̃ me ʋĩi le esime metsyɔ mo anyi.
And I heard the sound of his words; and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell senseless upon my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 Asi aɖe ka ŋunye eye wòna mede asi dzodzo me nyanyanya le nye asiwo kple klowo dzi.
And behold, a hand touched me, and lifted me upon my knees and the palms of my hands.
11 Egblɔ nam be, “Daniel, wò ame si ŋu wode bubu gãe, bu ta me nyuie le nya siwo gblɔ ge mala na wò la ŋu: Tsi tsitre elabena woɖom ɖe gbɔwò azɔ.” Esi wògblɔ nya siawo nam la, metsi tsitre heganɔ dzodzom nyanyanya ko.
And he said to me, Daniel, much-beloved man, give heed to the words which I speak to thee, and stand upright! for to thee am I now sent. And when he said this to me, I stood up trembling.
12 Eyi edzi gblɔ be, “Daniel, mègavɔ̃ o. Tso ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi esi nèɖo ta me be yease nu gɔme, abɔbɔ ye ɖokui ɖe yeƒe Mawu ƒe ŋkume la, wose wò gbedodoɖawo eye wò gbedodoɖawo ƒe ŋuɖoɖo tae meva ɖo.
Then said he to me, Fear not, Daniel! for from the first day that thou didst set thy mind to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come on account of thy words.
13 Ke esi megbɔna la, Persia fiaɖuƒe la ƒe dziɖula nɔ te, wɔ aʋa kplim ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-ɖekɛ sɔŋ. Tete Mikael, mawudɔlawo ƒe amegã ɖeka va kpe ɖe ŋunye elabena wozi dzinye ɖe Persia fia gbɔ le afi ma.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia stood up against me one and twenty days; but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left there victorious with the kings of Persia.
14 Azɔ la, meva be maɖe nu si ava dzɔ ɖe wò amea dzi le etsɔ me la na wò elabena ŋutega la ku ɖe nu siwo le ɣeyiɣi siwo le ŋgɔ la ŋuti.”
Now I am come to teach thee what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision yet relates to distant days.
15 Esi wònɔ esiawo gblɔm nam la, metsyɔ mo anyi eye nye nu ku.
And when he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
16 Kasia, nane si le abe amegbetɔ ene la, ka asi nye nuyiwo ŋu, tete meke nye nu hede asi nuƒoƒo me. Megblɔ na ame si tsi tsitre ɖe gbɔnye la be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, vɔvɔ̃ ɖom le ŋutega la ta eye ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye.
And behold, one having the appearance of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spake, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my pain came upon me, and I have no strength left.
17 Nye Aƒetɔ, aleke nye wò dɔla, mate ŋu aƒo nu kpli wòe? Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye eye gbɔgbɔtsixe hã tsi ƒonye.”
And how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? And now there remaineth no strength in me, neither is breath left in me.
18 Nu si ɖi amegbetɔ la gaka asi ŋunye eye wòna ŋusẽ gaɖo ŋunye.
Then one having the appearance of a man again touched me and strengthened me,
19 Egblɔ nam be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, O, wò ame si ŋu wode asixɔxɔ gã aɖee. Ŋutifafa na wò! Ŋusẽ neɖo ŋuwò azɔ. Xɔ ŋusẽ.” Esi wònɔ nu ƒom nam la, ŋusẽ ɖo ŋunye eye megblɔ be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, ƒo nu le esi nèna ŋusẽm ta.”
and said, Fear not, much-beloved man! peace be to thee! be strong, yea, be strong! And while he was speaking with me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20 Ale wògblɔ nam be, “Ènya nu si ta meva gbɔwò ɖoa? Esusɔ vie matrɔ aɖawɔ avu kple Persia ƒe dziɖula eye ne medzo la, Grik ƒe dziɖula ava,
Then he said, Knowest thou wherefore I have come to thee? And now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia, and I will go forth, and behold, the prince of Greece will come.
21 gake gbã la, magblɔ nu si woŋlɔ ɖe Nyateƒegbalẽ la me. Ame aɖeke mekpe ɖe ŋunye le avuwɔwɔ kpli wo me o, negbe Amegã Mikael.
But I will show thee what is written in the book of truth. No one putteth forth his strength with me against them but Michael, your prince.
