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 king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me previously.
2 Anis mulʼata koo keessatti gamoo Suusaa kan kutaa biyyaa Eelaam keessattan of arge. Ani mulʼata sana keessatti Laga Uulayi biran ture.
And I saw in the vision, and when I looked, I was in the citadel of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river 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.
Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one came up last.
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.
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand. But he did according to his will, and 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.
As I was considering, look, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a prominent 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.
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and rushed at him in the fury of his power.
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.
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he threw him down to the ground and trampled on him, and there was no one who could deliver the ram from his power.
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.
The male goat became very strong. But when he was strong, the large horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four prominent horns toward 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.
Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.
10 Gaafni sunis hamma raayyaa samiiwwanii qaqqabee raayyaa urjiiwwanii keessaa tokko tokko lafatti gad darbatee of jalatti dhidhiitutti guddate.
It grew so great that it reached to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on 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 magnified itself, even against the Prince of the host; and it took away from him the daily sacrifice, and the place of his sanctuary was thrown down.
12 Sababii cubbuutiif raayyaan qulqullootaatii fi aarsaan guyyaa guyyaan dhiʼeeffamu dabarfamanii isaaf kennaman. Inni waan hojjetu hunda keessatti ni milkaaʼe; dhugaanis lafatti gatame.
The host was given over to it together with the daily sacrifice because of transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and kept prospering.
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.
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled?"
14 Innis, “Wanni sun galgalaa fi ganama 2,300 fudhata; ergasii iddoon qulqulluun deebiʼee ni qulqulleeffama” naan jedhe.
He said to me, "To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be restored to its rightful state."
15 Utuma ani Daaniʼel mulʼata sana argee hiikkaa isaa hubachuuf yaalaa jiruu inni nama fakkaatu tokko fuula koo dura dhaabate.
It came about when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it. And look, there stood before me someone who appeared to be a man.
16 Anis sagalee nama tokkoo kan “Yaa Gabriʼeel, hiikkaa mulʼata sanaa nama kanatti himi” jedhu tokko Uulayi nan dhagaʼe.
I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and called out and said, "Gabriel, make this man 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.
So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was frightened, and fell prostrate. But he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision belongs to the time of the end."
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.
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but 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.
He said, "Look, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of wrath, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 Korbeessi hoolaa kan gaafa lamaa ati argite sun, mootota Meedee fi Faares argisiisa.
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Reʼeen rifeensa qabu sun mootii Giriik; gaanfi guddaan ija isaa lamaan gidduu immoo mootii jalqabaa ti.
The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is 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.
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall arise out of his nation, but not with his power.
23 “Dhuma bulchiinsa isaaniitti, yeroo finciltoonni akka malee hammaachaa deemanitti mootiin adda jabeessi hibboo hubatu tokko ni kaʼa.
In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressions have reached their full measure, a rash and deceitful king shall arise.
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.
His power shall be great, but not by his own strength; and he shall cause terrible destruction, and shall succeed in whatever he does. And he shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
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.
Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper by his influence, and he shall be great in his own mind, and without warning he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be shattered, but not by human hands.
26 “Mulʼanni galgalaa fi ganama sitti mulʼifame sunis dhugaa dha; garuu sababii inni waan bara dheeraa booddee taʼuuf jiru argisiisuuf isa cufi.”
The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision because it refers to many days from now."
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.
I, Daniel, was overcome, and was ill for days. Then I rose up, and carried out the king's business. And I was astonished by the vision, but there was no one to explain it.
