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, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 Anis mulʼata koo keessatti gamoo Suusaa kan kutaa biyyaa Eelaam keessattan of arge. Ani mulʼata sana keessatti Laga Uulayi biran ture.
I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. 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 behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher 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, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
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, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable 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 ran on 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. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of 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.
The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.
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 out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
10 Gaafni sunis hamma raayyaa samiiwwanii qaqqabee raayyaa urjiiwwanii keessaa tokko tokko lafatti gad darbatee of jalatti dhidhiitutti guddate.
It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars 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.
Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast 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 army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
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 will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”
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 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.
When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of 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, which called 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 on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for 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 set 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, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, 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 rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great 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 will stand up out of the 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 transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.
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 will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones 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 policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without 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, for it belongs to many days to come.”
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, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
