Daaniʼel 10
1 Bara Qiiros mooticha Faares keessa waggaa sadaffaatti Daaniʼel isa Beelxishaazaar jedhame sanatti mulʼanni tokko mulʼate. Ergaan isaas dhugaa fi kan waaʼee waraanaa ibsu ture. Hubannaan ergaa sanaas mulʼataan isaaf kenname.
In the third year of the reign of King Cyrus of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel (also called Belteshazzar). The message was certain and concerned a great conflict. He understood the message and gained understanding of the vision.
2 Yeroo sanatti ani Daaniʼel torban sadii nan booʼe.
When this happened, I, Daniel, had been in mourning for three full weeks.
3 Hamma torban sadan sun raawwatamanitti ani nyaata filatamaa tokko illee hin nyaanne; fooni yookaan daadhiin wayinii afaan koo hin seenne; dibata tokko illees hin dibanne.
I ate no fine food. No meat or wine passed my lips. I used no perfumed oils until those three weeks were over.
4 Bultii digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti ani utuun qarqara laga guddichaa Laga Xegroos irra dhaabadhee jiruu,
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was standing on the bank of the great River Tigris.
5 ol ilaalee namicha wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee sabbata warqee Uufaazii qulqulluu mudhii isaatti hidhate tokko fuula koo duratti arge.
I looked around and saw a man dressed in linen, and around his waist was a belt of pure gold.
6 Nafni isaa akka biiralee, fuulli isaa akka balaqqee, iji isaa akka guca bobaʼuu, irree fi miilli isaa akka naasii dibamee cululuqee, sagaleen isaa immoo akka sagalee namoota baayʼee ture.
His body shone like a jewel; his face was as bright as lightning; his eyes were like blazing torches; his arms and legs gleamed like polished bronze; and his voice sounded like the roar of a crowd.
7 Namni mulʼata sana arge anuma Daaniʼel qofa ture; namoonni na wajjin turan hin argine; garuu sodaan guddaan isaan qabatee baqatanii dhokatan.
I, Daniel, was the only one to see this vision—the others with me did not see the vision, but they suddenly felt very frightened and ran away to hide themselves.
8 Kanaafuu ani mulʼata guddaa kana ilaalaan kophaatti hafe; humna nan dhabe; fuulli koos ni geeddarame; nan laafes.
I was left alone to see this wonderful vision. My strength drained away, and my face turned pale as death. I didn't have an ounce of strength left.
9 Kana irratti ani utuu inni dubbatuu nan dhagaʼe; ani akkuman isa dhagaʼeen adda kootiin lafatti gombifamee hirribni cimaan na qabe.
I heard him speaking, and when I heard his voice I lost consciousness and I lay face down on the ground.
10 Ergasii garuu harki tokko na qabee utuu ani holladhuu harkaa fi jilba kootiin na dhaabe.
Then a hand touched me and lifted me onto my hands and knees.
11 Innis, “Yaa Daaniʼel, ati kan akka malee jaallatamte dubbii ani sitti himuuf jiru sirriitti qabadhu; ani gara keetti ergameeraatii ol kaʼi” jedhe. Anis yommuu inni waan kana naan jedhetti hollachaan kaʼee dhaabadhe.
He said to me, “Daniel, God loves you very much. Pay attention to what I'm telling you. Stand up, because I have been sent to you.” When he told me this I stood up, trembling.
12 Ammas akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa Daaniʼel hin sodaatin. Guyyaa tokkoffaa gaafa ati hubannaa argachuu fi fuula Waaqa keetii duratti of xinneessuuf murteessitee jalqabee dubbiin kee dhagaʼameera; anis deebii isaa fidee dhufeera.
“Don't be afraid, Daniel,” he said. “From the first day you concentrated on trying to understand this, and to humble yourself before God, your prayer was heard, and I have come to answer you.
13 Ergamaan guddichi mootummaa Faares garuu bultii digdamii tokko naan morme. Sababii ani ilma mooticha mootummaa Faares wajjin achitti hafee tureef hangafoota ergamootaa keessaa Miikaaʼel na gargaaruuf dhufe.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was being detained there by the kings of Persia.
14 Ani amma waan gara fuula duraatti saba kee irra gaʼuuf jiru sitti himuuf dhufeera; mulʼanni sun waan yeroon isaa amma illee hin gaʼin argisiisaatii.”
Now I've come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the last days, for the vision is about a time in the future.”
15 Utuma inni waan kana natti dubbachaa jiruu ani mataa gad qabadhee waanan dubbadhus dhabe.
As he told me this I remained there with my face to the ground and couldn't say a word.
16 Ergasii inni nama fakkaatu tokko hidhii koo tuqe; anis afaan banadheen dubbachuu jalqabe. Isa fuula koo dura dhaabachaa ture sanaanis akkanan jedhe; “Yaa gooftaa ko, ani sababii mulʼata sanaatiif dhiphadheera; humnas dhabeera.
Then the one who looked like a human being touched my lips and I was able to speak. I told the one standing in front of me, “My lord, since I saw the vision I've been in agony and I feel really weak.
17 Yaa gooftaa ko, ani garbichi kee akkamittan si wajjin haasaʼuu dandaʼa? Humni koo dhumeera; ani hafuura baafachuu illee dadhabeera.”
How can I, your servant, speak to you, my lord? I have no strength, and I can hardly breathe.”
18 Ammas inni nama fakkaatu sun na tuqee humna naa kenne.
Once again the one who looked like a human being touched me and restored my strength.
19 Innis, “Yaa namicha akka malee jaallatamte, hin sodaatin; nagaan siif haa taʼu! Amma jabaadhu; jajjabaadhus” naan jedhe. Yeroo inni natti dubbatetti ani nan jajjabaadhee, “Yaa Gooftaa ko, ati waan na jajjabeessiteef dubbadhu” isaan jedhe.
“Don't be afraid; God loves you very much. May you have peace! Be strong! Have courage!” As he spoke to me, I became stronger and I said, “My lord, speak to me, for you have strengthened me.”
20 Kana irratti inni akkana naan jedhe; “Ati waan ani gara kee dhufeef beektaa? Ani ergamaa guddicha mootummaa Faares loluuf nan deebiʼa; yeroo ani deemutti immoo ergamaan guddichi mootummaa Giriik ni dhufa;
“Do you know why I've come to you?” he asked. “Shortly I will have to go back and fight the prince of Persia, and after that the prince of Greece will come.
21 garuu ani duraan dursee waan Kitaaba Dhugaa keessatti barreeffame sittin hima. Isaan loluufis Miikaaʼel hangafticha keessan malee kan na gargaaru kan biraa hin jiru.
But before that I will tell you what is written down in the Book of Truth. No one helps me fight against these princes except Michael your prince.
