Daniel 7
1 Nʼafọ mbụ, mgbe Belshaza bidoro ịchị ala Babilọn, Daniel rọrọ nrọ, hụkwa ọhụ dị iche iche, o dere ihe ndị ahụ nʼakwụkwọ.
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,
2 “Mụ bụ Daniel hụrụ nʼime ọhụ m nʼabalị, elere m anya, hụ nʼihu m oke ifufe anọ nke eluigwe ka ha na-atụgharị oke osimiri.
and seide, Y siy in my visioun in niyt, and lo! foure wyndis of heuene fouyten in the myddis of the greet see.
3 Anụ ọhịa anọ buru ibu si nʼime osimiri ahụ rịpụta. O nweghị nke yiri ibe ya.
And foure grete beestis dyuerse bitwixe hem silf stieden fro the see.
4 “Nke mbụ dị ka ọdụm, kama o nwere nku dịka ugo. Mgbe m nọ na-ele ya anya, a nyakapụrụ nku ya, welie ya, hapụ ya ka o guzo nʼelu ala nʼụkwụ ya abụọ dịka mmadụ. E nyekwara ya ụdị obi nke mmadụ nwere.
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.
5 “Anụ ọhịa nke abụọ yiri anụ ọhịa buru ibu a na-akpọ bịa (nʼasụsụ bekee). E weliri ya nʼotu akụkụ, ọ kpụkwa ọgịrịga atọ nʼọnụ ya, nʼetiti eze ya. A gwara ya, ‘Bilie, rie anụ ka o si dị gị mma.’
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.
6 “Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ka m nọ na-ele anya, anụ ndọgbu ọzọ pụtara, anụ ọhịa ahụ yiri agụ, ma o nwere nʼazụ ya nku anọ dịka nke nnụnụ. O nwekwara isi anọ. E nyekwara ya ike ọchịchị.
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.
7 “Mgbe nke a gasịrị, nʼime ọhụ nke abalị, ahụrụ m anụ ọhịa nke anọ. Anụ ọhịa a na-eyi oke egwu, ọnụ apụghị ịkọwa ihe o yiri. Ọ bụkwa anụ ọhịa dị nnọọ ike, nke na-eji eze igwe ya dị ukwuu na-adọwasị ma na-etipịasịkwa ihe ọbụla, nke na-ejikwa ụkwụ ya azọgbu ihe ọbụla fọdụrụ. Ọ bụ anụ ọhịa gbara iche site nʼanụ ọhịa ndị ọzọ, bụrụkwa anụ nwere mpi iri.
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.
8 “Mgbe m nọ na-eche banyere mpi ndị a, na mberede mpi ntakịrị ọzọ sikwa nʼetiti ha pupụta. E si nʼukwu hopu mpi atọ nʼime mpi iri mbụ ahụ nʼihu ya. Mpi ntakịrị a nwere anya dịka mmadụ, na ọnụ na-ekwu okwu jupụtara nʼịnya isi.
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.
9 “Anọkwa m na-ele anya “hụ ka e doziri ocheeze, ebe Onye ahụ na-adị site na mbụ nọdụrụ. Uwe o yi na-acha nnọọ ezi ọcha dịka snoo, agịrị isi dị ya nʼisi na-acha ọcha dị ka ezi ogho ọcha. Ocheeze ya na-enwu ka ire ọkụ, ụkwụ igwe ya niile na-acha ọkụ.
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.
10 Iyi na-asọ ka ọkụ si nʼihu ya na-asọpụta. Puku kwụrụ puku na-agara ya ozi. Otu a kwa, nde kwụrụ nde ndị mmadụ guzo nʼihu ya. Ndị ikpe nọdụrụ ala, asaghekwara akwụkwọ dị iche iche.
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.
11 “Mgbe m nọ na-ele anya, nʼihi okwu ịnya isi nke mpi ahụ na-ekwu, elegidere m anya tutu ruo mgbe e gburu anụ ọhịa ahụ, laa anụ ahụ ya nʼiyi, were ya nye ka a kpọọ ya ọkụ.
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.
12 (Gbasara ụmụ anụ ọhịa ndị ọzọ, a napụrụ ha ọchịchị ha, ma a hapụrụ ha ka ha dịrị ndụ gaa nʼihu nwantakịrị oge).
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.
13 “Nʼime ọhụ m nʼabalị, a hụrụ onye yiri nwa nke mmadụ, ka ọ nọ na-abịa nʼigwe ojii nke eluigwe. Onye a bịara nso nʼebe onye ahụ na-adị site na mbụ nọ. E dubatakwara ya nʼihu ya.
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.
14 E nyere ya ike ọchịchị, ebube na ike ịbụ eze; mba niile dị iche iche na ndị niile na-asụ asụsụ dị iche iche kpọrọ isiala nye ya. Ọchịchị ya bụ ọchịchị na-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, nke na-agaghị agabiga. O nwekwaghị onye nwere ike ịkwatu alaeze ya.
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.
15 “Mụ onwe m, bụ Daniel, ọhụ a m hụrụ tụrụ mmụọ m ụjọ nke ukwuu, mekwa ka obi m ma jijiji.
My spirit hadde orrour, ether hidousnesse; Y, Danyel, was aferd in these thingis, and the siytis of myn heed disturbliden me.
16 Ejekwuuru m otu nʼime ndị guzo nʼebe ahụ nso jụọ ya ihe ihe ndị a niile pụtara. “Ọ gwara m ma kọwakwara m ihe ihe ndị a pụtara.
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.
17 ‘Anụ ọhịa anọ ndị a bụ alaeze anọ nke ga-ebili nʼụwa.
These foure grete beestis ben foure rewmes, that schulen rise of erthe.
18 Ma ọ bụ ndị nsọ nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, ga-anara alaeze. Ọ ga-abụkwa nke ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’
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.
19 “Mgbe ahụ, achọrọ m ịmata ihe banyere anụ ọhịa nke anọ ahụ, nke ahụ gbara iche site nʼanụ ọhịa ndị ọzọ, na-eyikwa oke egwu, nke nwere eze dịka igwe, na mbọ yiri nke e ji bronz kpụọ. Nke ahụ na-adọwasị ndị mmadụ, na nke na-azọgbukwa ndị fọdụrụ.
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.
20 Asịkwa m ya kọwaara m ihe mpi iri ahụ dị ya nʼisi pụtara, na ihe banyere mpi nke ọzọ puputara, na ihe mere e ji nyakapụ mpi atọ ahụ nʼihi ya. Asị m ya kọwakwara m ihe banyere mpi ahụ, nke nwere anya, na ọnụ na-ekwu okwu jupụtara nʼịnya isi, ma dịkwa ka ọ dị ike karịa ndị ọzọ.
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;
21 Mgbe m na-ele anya, ahụrụ m ka mpi a na-alụso ndị nsọ ọgụ na-emerikwa.
I bihelde, and lo! thilke horn made batel ayens hooli men, and hadde maistrie of hem,
22 Tutu ruo mgbe onye ahụ na-adị site na mbụ bịara kpee ikpe nke gaara ndị nsọ nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, ma oge bịakwara mgbe ha natara alaeze ahụ.
til the elde of daies cam, and hiy God yaf doom to hooli men; and lo! tyme cam, and hooli men goten rewme.
23 “Nke a bụ ihe o kwuru: ‘Anụ ọhịa nke anọ a bụ alaeze nke ga-apụta nʼụwa. Ọ ga-adị iche site nʼalaeze ndị ọzọ. Ọ ga-azọpịa, kụrie, ma bibiekwa ụwa niile.
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.
24 Mpi iri ahụ nọchiri anya ndị eze iri ga-esi nʼalaeze ya pụta. Mgbe ndị eze a ga na-achị, eze ọzọ, nke dị iche site na ndị bụrụ ya ụzọ ga-ebilikwa, ma merie ndị eze atọ ndị ọzọ ahụ ma laa ha nʼiyi.
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.
25 Ọ ga-ekwu okwu kwugide Onye kachasị ihe niile elu. O ga-emekpa ndị nsọ ahụ. Ọ ga-agbalịkwa ịgbanwe iwu niile na omenaala niile. A ga-enyefe ndị nsọ nʼaka ya afọ atọ na ọkara.
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.
26 “‘Ma a ga-emeghe ụlọ ikpe, napụkwa ya ike niile, kpochapụ ya ma laakwa ya nʼiyi kpamkpam.
And doom schal sitte, that the power be takun awei, and be al to-brokun, and perische til in to the ende.
27 Mgbe ahụ, ike ọchịchị, ike na ịdị ukwuu nke alaeze niile dị nʼokpuru eluigwe ka a ga-enyefe nʼaka ndị nsọ, bụ ndị nke Onye ahụ kachasị ihe niile elu. Alaeze ya ga-adịgidekwa ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ndị niile na-achị achị ga-erubere ya isi, kpọọkwa isiala nye ya.’
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.
28 “Nke a bụ ọgwụgwụ okwu ahụ. Mụ onwe m, bụ Daniel, echiche m mere ka m tụọ egwu nke ukwu, ihu m gbanwere dịka onye ahụ na-adịghị, ma o nweghị onye ọbụla m gwara ihe m hụrụ.”
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.
