Daniel 10
1 Ní ọdún kẹta Kirusi ọba Persia, a fi ìran kan hàn Daniẹli (ẹni tí à ń pè ní Belteṣassari). Òtítọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ ìran náà, ó sì ní í ṣe pẹ̀lú àsìkò ìpọ́njú ńlá, òye ọ̀rọ̀ náà wá bá a nínú ìran.
In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a secret was unfolded to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a hard work: and he had knowledge of it, and the vision was clear to him.
2 Ní àsìkò náà, èmi Daniẹli ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún ọ̀sẹ̀ mẹ́ta.
In those days I, Daniel, gave myself up to grief for three full weeks.
3 Èmi kì í jẹ oúnjẹ tí ó dára, èmi kò fi ẹran tàbí wáìnì kan ẹnu mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò fi òróró para títí ọ̀sẹ̀ mẹ́ta fi kọjá.
I had no pleasing food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, and I put no oil on my body till three full weeks were ended.
4 Ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlélógún oṣù àkọ́kọ́, bí mo ti dúró sí etí i bèbè odò ńlá Tigirisi,
And on the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was by the side of the great river;
5 mo wo òkè, mo rí ọkùnrin kan tí ó wọ aṣọ àlà, ẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹni tí a fi wúrà Upasi dáradára dì ní àmùrè.
And lifting up my eyes I saw the form of a man clothed in a linen robe, and round him there was a band of gold, of the best gold:
6 Ara rẹ̀ dàbí berili, ojú u rẹ̀ dàbí mọ̀nàmọ́ná, ẹyin ojú u rẹ̀ dàbí iná àtẹ̀tàn, apá àti ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ dàbí ìtànná ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí o kún fún idẹ, àti ohùn rẹ̀ dàbí i ti ìjọ ènìyàn púpọ̀.
And his body was like the beryl, and his face had the look of a thunder-flame, and his eyes were like burning lights, and his arms and feet like the colour of polished brass, and the sound of his voice was like the sound of an army.
7 Èmi Daniẹli, ni ẹnìkan tí ó rí ìran náà, àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú u mi, wọn kò rí i, ṣùgbọ́n ìpayà ńlá dà bò wọ́n, wọ́n sálọ wọ́n sì fi ara pamọ́.
And I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it; but a great shaking came on them and they went in flight to take cover.
8 Ó sì ku èmi nìkan, tí mo rí ìran ńlá yìí, kò sì ku okun kankan fún mi, ojú u mi sì rẹ̀wẹ̀sì gidigidi, n kò sì ní agbára mọ́.
So I was by myself, and I saw this great vision, and all my strength went from me; and the colour went from my face.
9 Nígbà náà, ni mo gbọ́ tí ó ń sọ̀rọ̀, bí mo ṣe tẹ́tí sílẹ̀ sí i, mo sùn lọ fọnfọn, ní ìdojúbolẹ̀.
But the sound of his words came to my ears, and on hearing his voice I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth.
10 Ọwọ́ kan kàn mí, ó gbé mi dìde ní ìwárìrì lórí ọwọ́ àti eékún mi.
Then a hand gave me a touch, awaking me, and putting me on my knees and my hands.
11 Ó sọ pé, “Daniẹli ẹni tí a yàn fẹ́ gidigidi gba ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo fẹ́ bá ọ sọ yìí yẹ̀ wò dáradára, kí o sì dìde, nítorí tí a rán mi sí ọ.” Bí ó ṣe sọ èyí fún mi, mo dìde ní ìwárìrì.
And he said to me, O Daniel, you man dearly loved, take in the sense of the words I say to you and get up on to your feet: for to you I am now sent; and when he had said this to me I got on to my feet, shaking with fear.
12 Nígbà náà ni ó tẹ̀síwájú, pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù Daniẹli. Láti ọjọ́ àkọ́kọ́ tí ìwọ ti fi ọkàn rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú Ọlọ́run rẹ, a gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ, mo sì wá nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà.
Then he said to me, Have no fear, Daniel; for from the first day when you gave your heart to getting wisdom and making yourself poor in spirit before your God, your words have come to his ears: and I have come because of your words.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n ọmọ-aládé ìjọba Persia dá mi dúró fún ọjọ́ mọ́kànlélógún. Nígbà náà ni Mikaeli, ọ̀kan lára ìjòyè àwọn ọmọ-aládé, wá láti ràn mi lọ́wọ́, nítorí a dá mi dúró níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọba Persia.
But the angel of the kingdom of Persia put himself against me for twenty-one days; but Michael, one of the chief angels, came to my help; and when I came he was still there with the angel of the kings of Persia.
14 Ní ìsinsin yìí mo wá láti ṣàlàyé ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ sí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ní ọjọ́ iwájú, nítorí ìran náà ń sọ nípa ọjọ́ iwájú.”
Now I have come to give you knowledge of the fate of your people in the later days; for there is still a vision for the days.
15 Bí ó sì ti ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún mi, mo sì dorí kodò mo sì dákẹ́.
And after he had said these words to me, I kept my face turned to the earth and was unable to say anything.
16 Nígbà náà, ni ẹnìkan tí ó rí bí ènìyàn fi ọwọ́ kan ètè mi, mo la ẹnu mi, mo sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní sọ ọ̀rọ̀, mo sọ fún ẹni tí ó dúró níwájú mi, “Ìrònú sì mú mi, nítorí ìran náà, olúwa mi, n kò sì ní okun.
Then one whose form was like the sons of men put his finger on my lips; and opening my mouth, I said to him who was before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have come on me, and I have no more strength.
17 Ǹjẹ́ báwo ni èmi ìránṣẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ ṣe lè bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀, olúwa mi? Agbára mi ti lọ, agbára káká ni mo fi ń mí.”
For how may this servant of my lord have talk with my lord? for, as for me, straight away my strength went from me and there was no breath in my body.
18 Ẹ̀wẹ̀, ẹnìkan tí ó rí bí ènìyàn fi ọwọ́ kàn mí, ó sì fún mi ní agbára.
Then again one having the form of a man put his hand on me and gave me strength.
19 Ó sì wí pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ìwọ ọkùnrin olùfẹ́ gidigidi. Àlàáfíà ni fún ọ, mú ara le, àní mú ara le.” Nígbà tí ohun bá mi sọ̀rọ̀, a sì mú mi lára le. “Mo sì wí pé, kí olúwa mi kí ó máa sọ̀rọ̀, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ìwọ ti mú mi ní ara le.”
And he said to me, O man greatly loved, have no fear: peace be with you, be strong and let your heart be lifted up. And at his words I became strong, and said, Let my lord say on, for you have given me strength.
20 Nígbà náà, ni ó wí pé, “Ṣé o mọ ìdí tí mo fi tọ̀ ọ́ wá? Láìpẹ́ èmi yóò yípadà lọ bá àwọn ọmọ-aládé Persia jà, nígbà tí mo bá lọ àwọn ọmọ-aládé Giriki yóò wá;
Then he said, It is clear to you why I have come to you. And now I will give you an account of what is recorded in the true writings:
21 ṣùgbọ́n ní àkọ́kọ́, èmi yóò sọ ohun tí wọ́n kọ sínú ìwé òtítọ́ fún ọ. (Kò sí ẹni tí ó kún mi lọ́wọ́ fún nǹkan wọ̀nyí bí kò ṣe Mikaeli, ọmọ-aládé e yín.
But I am going back to make war with the angel of Persia, and when I am gone, the angel of Greece will come. And there is no one on my side against these, but Michael, your angel.
