Daaniʼel 8
1 Bara Beelshaazaar mootichaa keessa waggaa sadaffaatti, ani Daaniʼel, mulʼata duraan natti mulʼate sana booddee mulʼata tokko nan arge.
In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me. After that which I had seen in the beginning, I, Daniel,
2 Anis mulʼata koo keessatti gamoo Suusaa kan kutaa biyyaa Eelaam keessattan of arge. Ani mulʼata sana keessatti Laga Uulayi biran ture.
saw in my vision, that I was in the capital city of Susa, which is in the region of Elam, yet I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.
3 Anis ija ol fudhadhee korbeessa hoolaa gaanfa lama qabu utuu laga cina dhaabatu nan arge; gaanfi isaas dheeraa ture. Gaanfa isaa keessaa inni tokko isa kaan irra dheerata; ergasii garuu ni guddate.
And I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a single ram stood before the marsh, having two high horns, and one was higher than the other and growing higher still.
4 Ani utuu korbeessi hoolaa sun gara lixa biiftuutti, gara kaabaa fi gara kibbaatti jifatuu nan arge; horiin fuula isaa dura dhaabachuu dandaʼe tokko iyyuu hin turre; kan humna isaa jalaa baasuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin turre. Inni waanuma barbaade hojjetee guddaa taʼe.
After this, I saw the ram brandishing his horns against the West, and against the North, and against the Meridian, and all the beasts could not withstand him, nor be freed from his hand, and he did according to his own will, and he became great.
5 Utuma ani waan kana yaadaa jiruu korbeessi reʼee kan ija isaa lamaan gidduudhaa gaanfa qabu tokko utuu lafa hin tuqin guutummaa lafaa qaxxaamuraa akkuma tasaa lixa biiftuutii dhufe.
And I understood, and behold, a he-goat among she-goats came from the West above the face of the entire earth, and he did not touch the ground. Furthermore, the he-goat had a preeminent horn between his eyes.
6 Innis gara korbeessa hoolaa kan gaanfa lama qabu kan ani utuu inni laga cina dhaabatuu arge sanaa dhufee aarii guddaadhaan isa jifate.
And he went all the way to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength.
7 Ani utuu inni akka malee aaree isa dhaʼee gaanfa isaa lamaanis isa irraa caccabsuu nan arge. Hoolaan sun of irraa isa dhowwuuf humna hin qabu ture; reʼeen sun lafaan isa dhaʼee of jalatti dhidhiite; hoolaa sanas humna isaa jalaa baasuu kan dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin turre.
And when he approached near to the ram, he was enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him, and when he had cast him down on the ground, he trampled him, and no one was able to free the ram from his hand.
8 Reʼeen sunis akka malee guddate; garuu yeroo humni isaa jabaatetti gaanfi isaa guddichi isa irraa cabe; qooda isaas gaanfawwan afur guddatanii gara bubbeewwan samii afraniitti baʼan.
But the he-goat among she-goats became exceedingly great, and when he had prospered, the great horn was shattered, and four horns were rising up beneath it by means of the four winds of heaven.
9 Afran isaanii keessaa isa tokko keessaa gaanfi biraa baʼe; innis xinnaa fakkaatee ergasii garuu humnaan jabaatee gara kibbaa, gara lixa biiftuutii fi Biyya Bareedduu sanaatti guddate.
But from one of them came forth one little horn, and it became great against the Meridian, and against the East, and against the strength.
10 Gaafni sunis hamma raayyaa samiiwwanii qaqqabee raayyaa urjiiwwanii keessaa tokko tokko lafatti gad darbatee of jalatti dhidhiitutti guddate.
And it was magnified even towards the strength of heaven, and it threw down those of the strength and of the stars, and it trampled them.
11 Akka waan ajajaa loltoota Waaqaatiin wal qixxaateettis mataa ol qabate; aarsaa guyyaa guyyaa illee isa irraa fudhate; iddoon isaa qulqulluunis gad darbatame.
And it was magnified, even to the leader of the strength, and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.
12 Sababii cubbuutiif raayyaan qulqullootaatii fi aarsaan guyyaa guyyaan dhiʼeeffamu dabarfamanii isaaf kennaman. Inni waan hojjetu hunda keessatti ni milkaaʼe; dhugaanis lafatti gatame.
And the advantage was given to him against the continual sacrifice, because of the sins, and truth will be struck down to the ground, and he will act, and he will prosper.
13 Anis utuu qulqullichi dubbatuu nan dhagaʼe; qulqulluun kaan, “Mulʼanni waaʼee aarsaa guyyaa guyyaa, kan cubbuu badiisa fiduu, kan iddoo qulqulluutii fi raayyaawwan akka miilla jalatti dhidhiitamaniif dabarfamanii kennaman sanaa yoomi raawwata?” jedheen.
And I heard one of the holy ones speaking, and one saint said to another, (I know not to whom he was speaking, ) “What is the extent of the vision, and the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation, which has happened, and of the sanctuary and the strength, which will be trampled?”
14 Innis, “Wanni sun galgalaa fi ganama 2,300 fudhata; ergasii iddoon qulqulluun deebiʼee ni qulqulleeffama” naan jedhe.
And he said to him, “From evening until morning, two thousand three hundred days, and so the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
15 Utuma ani Daaniʼel mulʼata sana argee hiikkaa isaa hubachuuf yaalaa jiruu inni nama fakkaatu tokko fuula koo dura dhaabate.
But it came to pass, when I, Daniel, saw the vision and sought understanding that, behold, there stood in my sight something like the appearance of a man.
16 Anis sagalee nama tokkoo kan “Yaa Gabriʼeel, hiikkaa mulʼata sanaa nama kanatti himi” jedhu tokko Uulayi nan dhagaʼe.
And I heard the voice of a man within Ulai, and he called out and said, “Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.”
17 Akkuma inni iddoo ani dhaabachaa ture dhufeen ani rifadheen addaan lafatti gombifame. Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, akka mulʼanni sun waaʼee bara dhumaa argisiisu hubadhu” naan jedhe.
And he came and stood next to where I was standing, and when he approached, I fell on my face, trembling, and he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for in the time of the end the vision will be fulfilled.”
18 Yeroo inni natti dubbachaa turettis, ani addaan lafatti gombifamee hirriba cimaa keessan ture. Inni garuu na tuqee ol na qabee miilla kootiin na dhaabe.
And when he spoke to me, I fell forward onto the ground, and so he touched me and stood me upright.
19 Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani waan booddee yeroo dheekkamsaatti dhufuuf jiru sitti nan hima; mulʼanni sun waan bara dhumaa kan murtaaʼe sana keessatti taʼu argisiisaatii.
And he said to me, “I will reveal to you what the future things are in the earlier tribulation, for the time has its end.
20 Korbeessi hoolaa kan gaafa lamaa ati argite sun, mootota Meedee fi Faares argisiisa.
The ram, which you saw to have horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.
21 Reʼeen rifeensa qabu sun mootii Giriik; gaanfi guddaan ija isaa lamaan gidduu immoo mootii jalqabaa ti.
Furthermore, the he-goat among she-goats is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn, which was between his eyes, is the same one, the first king.
22 Gaanfawwan afran gaanfa cabe tokko iddoo buʼan mootummoota saba isaa keessaa baʼan afran argisiisan; isaan garuu humna akka isaa hin qaban.
And since, having been shattered, there grew four in its place, four kings will rise up from his people, but not in his strength.
23 “Dhuma bulchiinsa isaaniitti, yeroo finciltoonni akka malee hammaachaa deemanitti mootiin adda jabeessi hibboo hubatu tokko ni kaʼa.
And after their reign, when iniquities will be increased, there will arise a king of shameless face and understanding negotiations.
24 Innis akka malee jabaa taʼa; garuu humna isaatiin miti. Inni badiisa suukaneessaa fida; waan hojjetu hundaan ni milkaaʼa. Namoota jajjaboo fi qulqulloota ni balleessa.
And his advantage will be strengthened, but not by his kind of force, and other than what he will be able to trust, everything will be eradicated, and he will prosper, and he will act. And he will execute the successful and the people of the saints,
25 Inni badhaadhuuf jedhee gowwoomsaa hojjeta; akka nama guddaattis of ilaala. Inni yommuu isaan waan nagaa qaban seʼanitti baayʼee isaanii balleessee Mootii moototaattis ni kaʼa. Taʼu illee inni ni bada; garuu humna namaatiin miti.
according to his will, and treachery will be guided by his hand. And his heart will be inflated, and by the abundance of everything he will kill many, and he will rise up against the Lord of lords, and he will be knocked down without a hand.
26 “Mulʼanni galgalaa fi ganama sitti mulʼifame sunis dhugaa dha; garuu sababii inni waan bara dheeraa booddee taʼuuf jiru argisiisuuf isa cufi.”
And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true. Therefore, you must seal the vision, because, after many days, it will occur.”
27 Ani Daaniʼelis akka malee dadhabee guyyoota baayʼee dhukkubsadheen ciise. Ergasiis kaʼee gara hojii mootichaa nan dhaqe. Anis mulʼatan argee sanaan rifadheen ture; dubbiin isaas naaf hin galle.
And I, Daniel, languished and was sick for some days, and when I had lifted myself up, I performed the king’s works, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none who could interpret it.
