Daniel 8
1 Ɔhene Belsasar adedi mfe abiɛsa so, me, Daniel, minyaa anisoadehu foforo bi a na edi nea ada ne ho adi akyerɛ me dedaw no akyi.
In the thirde yeere of the reigne of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared vnto mee, euen vnto me Daniel, after that which appeared vnto mee at the first.
2 Mʼanisoadehu mu no, mihuu sɛ na mewɔ Susa abanwa a ɛwɔ Elam mantam no mu; na mʼanisoadehu mu no, na mewɔ Asuka Ulai ho.
And I saw in a vision, and when I sawe it, I was in the palace of Shushan, which is in the prouince of Elam, and in a vision me thought I was by the riuer of Vlai.
3 Memaa mʼani so no, mihuu Odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn atenten abien na ogyina suka no ho wɔ mʼanim. Na ne mmɛn no woware. Na ne mmɛn no baako ware sen baako, nanso nea ɛware no, akyiri no, enyinii.
Then I looked vp and sawe, and beholde, there stoode before the riuer a ramme, which had two hornes: and these two hornes were hie: but one was hier then another, and the hyest came vp last.
4 Mehwɛɛ Odwennini no sɛ ɔrepempem kɔ atɔe, atifi ne anafo fam. Na aboa biara ntumi nnyina nʼanim, na obiara nni hɔ a obetumi agye obi foforo afi ne nsam. Ɔyɛɛ nea ɔpɛ, na ɔyɛɛ ɔkɛse.
I sawe the ramme pusshing against ye West, and against the North, and against the South: so that no beastes might stande before him, nor could deliuer out of his hand, but he did what he listed, and became great.
5 Bere a migu so redwen eyi ho no, prɛko pɛ, ɔpapo bi a ɔwɔ abɛn kɛse bi a etua nʼani abien no ntam pue fii atɔe fam, twaa mu faa asase no nyinaa so a ne nan mpo nka fam.
And as I considered, beholde, a goate came from the West ouer the whole earth, and touched not the grounde: and this goate had an horne that appeared betweene his eyes.
6 Ɔde nʼani kyerɛɛ Odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn abien no a mihuu sɛ na ogyina suka no ho no. Na ɔde ahoɔden tuu mmirika kɔɔ ne so.
And he came vnto the ramme that had the two hornes, whome I had seene standing by the riuer, and ranne vnto him in his fierce rage.
7 Ɔpapo no sii ntɔkɔnan a emu yɛ den, na ɔpem Odwennini no bubuu ne mmɛn abien no. Odwennini no yɛɛ mmerɛw na wantumi annyina ɔpapo no anim; enti ɔpapo no pem no hwee fam, tiatiaa no so, na obiara antumi annye no amfi ne nsam.
And I saw him come vnto the ramme, and being moued against him, he smote the ramme, and brake his two hornes: and there was no power in the ramme to stand against him, but he cast him downe to the grounde, and stamped vpon him, and there was none that coulde deliuer the ramme out of his power.
8 Ɔpapo no bɛyɛɛ oniɔdenfo kɛse. Nanso, nʼaniɔden no duu ne mpɔmpɔnso no, nʼabɛn kɛse no bui, na nʼanan mu no, mmɛn akɛse anan fifii a ɛkyerɛkyerɛ ɔsoro mframa anan no so.
Therefore the goate waxed exceeding great, and when he was at the strongest, his great horne was broken: and for it came vp foure that appeared toward the foure windes of ye heauen.
9 Abɛn foforo bi puee wɔ mmɛn akɛse no mu baako ho. Efii ase kakraa bi, na ne tumi yɛɛ kɛse kɔɔ anafo ne apuei fam, de kɔɔ Asase Fɛɛfɛ no so.
And out of one of them came foorth a litle horne, which waxed very great toward the South, and toward the East, and towarde the pleasant land.
10 Enyinii ara kɔkaa ɔsoro asafo, na ɔtotow asafo no mu bi a wɔyɛ nsoromma guguu fam, tiatiaa wɔn so.
Yea, it grewe vp vnto the hoste of heauen, and it cast downe some of the hoste, and of the starres to the ground, and trode vpon them,
11 Na ɔmaa ne ho so bɛyɛɛ ne ho ɔkɛse sɛ ɔsoro asafo no Sahene. Ogyee daa daa afɔre fii ne nsam, na ɔsɛee ne kronkron tenabea hɔ.
And extolled himselfe against the prince of the hoste from whome the dayly sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his Sanctuarie was cast downe.
12 Esiane atuatew no nti, wɔde ahotefo asafo no ne wɔn daa daa afɔre maa no. Na wɔtow nokware kyenee.
And a time shall be giuen him ouer the dayly sacrifice for the iniquitie: and it shall cast downe the trueth to the ground, and thus shall it doe, and prosper.
13 Afei metee ɔkronkronni bi sɛ ɔrekasa, na ɔkronkronni foforo bisaa no se, “Bere bɛn na anisoadehu yi bɛba mu—nea ɛfa daa daa afɔre, atuatew a ɛde ɔsɛe ba, kronkron tenabea a wobegyaa mu ama, ne Awurade asafo a wobetiatia wɔn so no?”
Then I heard one of the Saints speaking, and one of the Saints spake vnto a certaine one, saying, Howe long shall endure the vision of the dayly sacrifice, and the iniquitie of the desolation to treade both the Sanctuarie and the armie vnder foote?
14 Obuaa no se, “Ebedi anwummere ne anɔpa ahorow 2,300, ansa na wɔasan atew kronkron tenabea no ho.”
And he answered me, Vnto the euening and the morning, two thousand and three hundreth: then shall the Sanctuarie be clensed.
15 Bere a me Daniel, merehwɛ anisoadehu na mepɛɛ sɛ mete ase no, obi a ɔte sɛ ɔbarima begyinaa mʼanim.
Nowe when I Daniel had seene the vision, and sought for the meaning, beholde, there stoode before me like the similitude of a man.
16 Na metee onipa nne a ɛrefrɛ fi Ulai mu se, “Gabriel, kyerɛ saa ɔbarima yi anisoadehu no ase.”
And I heard a mans voyce betweene the bankes of Vlai, which called, and sayde, Gabriel, make this man to vnderstand the vision.
17 Ɔrebɛn faako a na migyina no, misuroe, na mede mʼanim butuw fam. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, te ase sɛ anisoadehu no fa awieibere no ho.”
So he came where I stood: and when hee came, I was afraide, and fell vpon my face: but he sayd vnto me, Vnderstand, O sonne of man: for in the last time shalbe the vision.
18 Bere a ɔrekasa akyerɛ me no, medaa nnahɔɔ a mʼanim butuw fam. Na osoo me mu de me gyinaa mʼanan so.
Nowe as he was speaking vnto me, I being a sleepe fell on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me vp in my place.
19 Ɔkae se, “Merebɛka nea ebesi akyiri no wɔ abufuwbere mu akyerɛ wo, efisɛ anisoadehu no fa awiei bere a wɔahyɛ no ho.
And he sayde, Beholde, I will shewe thee what shalbe in the last wrath: for in the end of the time appointed it shall come.
20 Odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn abien no gyina hɔ ma Media ne Persia ahemfo no.
The ramme which thou sawest hauing two hornes, are the Kings of the Medes and Persians.
21 Ɔpapo niɔdenfo no yɛ Helahene, na abɛn kɛse a etua nʼani ntam no yɛ ɔhene a odi kan no.
And the goate is the King of Grecia, and the great horne that is betweene his eyes, is the first King.
22 Mmɛn anan a ebesisii mmɛn a ebubuu no anan mu no gyina hɔ ma ahenni anan a ɛbɛsɔre afi ne man no mu, nanso wɔn tumidi renyɛ pɛ.
And that that is broken, and foure stoode vp for it, are foure kingdomes, which shall stand vp of that nation, but not in his strength.
23 “Wɔn adedi no rekɔ awiei no, bere a atuatewfo no ayɛ atirimɔden mmoroso no, ɔhene a ɔyɛ den, na odi akɔntɔnkyesɛm bɛsɔre.
And in the end of their kingdome, when the rebellious shalbe consumed, a King of fierce countenance, and vnderstanding darke sentences, shall stand vp.
24 Ɔbɛyɛ den yiye a emfi nʼankasa tumi mu. Ɔbɛsɛe ade ama nnipa ho adwiriw wɔn, na obedi nkonim wɔ biribiara a ɔbɛyɛ mu. Ɔbɛsɛe ahoɔdenfo ne akronkronfo.
And his power shalbe mightie, but not in his strength: and hee shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mightie, and the holy people.
25 Ɔbɛma nnaadaa agye ntin, na ɔbɛyɛ ahomaso. Ɔbɛsɛe bebree a ɔmmɔ nkae, na ɔbɛsɔre atia ahenemma mu Ɔheneba no, nanso wɔbɛsɛe no a emfi onipa ahoɔden mu.
And through his policie also, hee shall cause craft to prosper in his hand, and he shall extoll himselfe in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: hee shall also stande vp against the prince of princes, but he shalbe broken downe without hand.
26 “Anwummere ne anɔpa anisoadehu a wɔde ama wo no yɛ nokware, nanso, so ano, efisɛ ɛfa daakye bi a ennya mmae ho.”
And the vision of the euening and the morning, which is declared, is true: therefore seale thou vp the vision, for it shall be after many dayes.
27 Me, Daniel, meyɛɛ mmerɛw, na meyaree nna kakra. Akyiri no, mesɔre kɔyɛɛ ɔhene adwuma. Anisoadehu no yɛɛ me ahodwiriw; na ɛboroo ntease so.
And I Daniel was striken and sicke certaine dayes: but when I rose vp, I did the Kings busines, and I was astonished at the vision, but none vnderstood it.
