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 the Persians, a message was revealed to Daniel, called Belteshazzar, and a true word, and great strength. And he understood the message, for understanding is needed in a vision.
2 Ní àsìkò náà, èmi Daniẹli ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún ọ̀sẹ̀ mẹ́ta.
In those days, I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks of days.
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 ate no desirable bread, and neither meat, nor wine, entered my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment, until the three weeks of days were completed.
4 Ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlélógún oṣù àkọ́kọ́, bí mo ti dúró sí etí i bèbè odò ńlá Tigirisi,
But on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was next to the great river, which is the Tigris.
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 I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, one man clothed in linen, and his waist was wrapped with the finest 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 golden stone, and his face had the appearance of lightning, and his eyes that of a burning lamp, and his arms and all that is downward all the way to the feet had the appearance of glowing brass, and his speaking voice was like the voice of a multitude.
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.
But I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it, but an exceedingly great terror rushed over them, and they fled into hiding.
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.
And I, having been left alone, saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me, moreover, my appearance was altered, and I languished, not having any strength.
9 Nígbà náà, ni mo gbọ́ tí ó ń sọ̀rọ̀, bí mo ṣe tẹ́tí sílẹ̀ sí i, mo sùn lọ fọnfọn, ní ìdojúbolẹ̀.
And I heard the voice of his words, and when I heard, I lay down in confusion on my face, and my face was close to the ground.
10 Ọwọ́ kan kàn mí, ó gbé mi dìde ní ìwárìrì lórí ọwọ́ àti eékún mi.
And behold, a hand touched me, and raised me onto my knees and the knuckles of 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, “Daniel, man of longing, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand yourself upright, for I am now sent to you.” And when he had said these words to me, I stood trembling.
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.
And he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, because from the first day that you set your heart to understand, by afflicting yourself in the sight of your God, your words have been heeded, and I have arrived 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 leader of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me for twenty-one days, and behold, Michael, one of the primary leaders, came to help me, and I remained there next to the king of the Persians.
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.”
But I have come to teach you what will happen to your people in the latter days, because the vision is for a long time from now.”
15 Bí ó sì ti ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún mi, mo sì dorí kodò mo sì dákẹ́.
And while he was speaking words to me in this way, I cast my face down to the ground and was silent.
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.
And behold, something in the likeness of a son of man touched my lips. Then, opening my mouth, I spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, at the sight of you, my limbs became weak and no strength has remained in me.
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.”
And so, how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? For no strength remains in me; and even my breathing is hindered.”
18 Ẹ̀wẹ̀, ẹnìkan tí ó rí bí ènìyàn fi ọwọ́ kàn mí, ó sì fún mi ní agbára.
Therefore, he who looked like a man, touched me again and strengthened me.
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, “Fear not, O man of longing. May peace be with you. Take courage and be strong.” And when he spoke to me, I recovered, and I said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”
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;
And he said, “Do you not know why I have come to you? And next I will return, to fight against the leader of the Persians. When I was leaving, there appeared the leader of the Greeks arriving.
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, in truth, I announce to you what is expressed in the scripture of truth. And no one is my helper in all these things, except Michael your leader.”
