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 year three of Cyrus [the] king of Persia a word it was revealed to Daniel whom it had been called name his Belteshazzar and [was] truth the word and a war great and he understood the word and understanding [belonged] to him by the vision.
2 Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, nye Daniel, mexa nu kɔsiɖa etɔ̃.
In the days those I Daniel I was mourning three sevens days.
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.
Food of desirableness not I ate and meat and wine not it came into mouth my and indeed not I anointed myself until were completed three sevens days.
4 Le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-enelia dzi, esi metsi tsitre ɖe tɔsisi gã, Tigris, to la,
And on day twenty and four of the month first and I I was on [the] side of the river great that [is] [the] Tigris.
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.
And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! a man one clothed linen and loins his [were] girded with [the] 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.
And body his [was] like topaz and face his [was] like [the] appearance of lightning and eyes his [were] like torches of fire and arms his and feet his [were] like [the] appearance of bronze burnished and [the] sound of words his [was] like [the] sound 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 saw I Daniel to alone me the vision and the men who they were with me not they saw the vision but terror great it fell on them and they fled in hiding themselves.
8 Ale nye ɖeka metsi anyi henɔ ŋutega la kpɔm. Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye, nye mo fu kpĩi eye wɔna vɔ le ŋunye.
And I I was left behind to alone me and I saw the vision great this and not it remained in me strength and vigor my it was changed on me into destruction and not I retained 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 words his and just as heard I [the] sound of words his and I I was dazed on face my and face my [was] ground towards.
10 Asi aɖe ka ŋunye eye wòna mede asi dzodzo me nyanyanya le nye asiwo kple klowo dzi.
And there! a hand it touched me and it shook me on knees my and [the] palms of hands my.
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 O Daniel man of preciousness understand the words which I [am] about to speak to you and stand on standing place your for now I have been sent to you and when spoke he with me the word this 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.
And he said to me may not you fear O Daniel for - from the day first which you gave heart your to understand and to humble yourself before God your they were heard words your and I I have come on words your.
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.
And [the] prince of - [the] kingdom of Persia [was] standing to before me twenty and one day[s] and there! Michael one of the princes chief he came to help me and I I remained behind there beside [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.”
And I have come to make understand you [that] which it will happen to people your at [the] end of the days for still [the] vision [is] for the days.
15 Esi wònɔ esiawo gblɔm nam la, metsyɔ mo anyi eye nye nu ku.
And when spoke he with me according to the words these I put face my [the] ground towards and I 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 there! like [the] likeness of [the] sons of humankind [was] touching lips my and I opened mouth my and I spoke! and I said! to the [one] standing to before me O lord my on the vision they have turned pangs my on me and not I have retained strength.
17 Nye Aƒetɔ, aleke nye wò dɔla, mate ŋu aƒo nu kpli wòe? Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye eye gbɔgbɔtsixe hã tsi ƒonye.”
And how? is he able [the] servant of lord my this to speak with lord my this and I from now not it remains in me strength and breath not it is left in me.
18 Nu si ɖi amegbetɔ la gaka asi ŋunye eye wòna ŋusẽ gaɖo ŋunye.
And he repeated and he touched me like [the] appearance of humankind and he 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 he said may not you fear O man of preciousness peace [be] to you be strong and be strong (and when spoke he *L(abh)*) with me I strengthened myself and I said let him speak lord my for you have 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,
And he said ¿ do you know why? have I come to you and now I will return to engage in battle with [the] prince of Persia and I [am] about to go forth and there! [the] prince of Greece he 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 tell to you the [thing] inscribed in writing of truth and there not [is] one [who] shows himself strong with me on these that except Michael prince your.
