< 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 Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2 Yeroo sanatti ani Daaniʼel torban sadii nan booʼe.
In those days I Daniel was mourning 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 pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 Bultii digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti ani utuun qarqara laga guddichaa Laga Xegroos irra dhaabadhee jiruu,
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
5 ol ilaalee namicha wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee sabbata warqee Uufaazii qulqulluu mudhii isaatti hidhate tokko fuula koo duratti arge.
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
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 also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 Namni mulʼata sana arge anuma Daaniʼel qofa ture; namoonni na wajjin turan hin argine; garuu sodaan guddaan isaan qabatee baqatanii dhokatan.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Kanaafuu ani mulʼata guddaa kana ilaalaan kophaatti hafe; humna nan dhabe; fuulli koos ni geeddarame; nan laafes.
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 Kana irratti ani utuu inni dubbatuu nan dhagaʼe; ani akkuman isa dhagaʼeen adda kootiin lafatti gombifamee hirribni cimaan na qabe.
Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 Ergasii garuu harki tokko na qabee utuu ani holladhuu harkaa fi jilba kootiin na dhaabe.
And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
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.
And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood 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.
Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy Elohim, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
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 withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with 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 am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
15 Utuma inni waan kana natti dubbachaa jiruu ani mataa gad qabadhee waanan dubbadhus dhabe.
And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
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.
And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my master, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
17 Yaa gooftaa ko, ani garbichi kee akkamittan si wajjin haasaʼuu dandaʼa? Humni koo dhumeera; ani hafuura baafachuu illee dadhabeera.”
For how can the servant of this my master talk with this my master? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
18 Ammas inni nama fakkaatu sun na tuqee humna naa kenne.
Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
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.
And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my master speak; for thou hast 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;
Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall 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 I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
