Daniel 7
1 Ní ọdún àkọ́kọ́ Belṣassari ọba Babeli, Daniẹli lá àlá kan, ìran náà sì wá sí ọkàn an rẹ̀ bí ó ṣe sùn sórí ibùsùn un rẹ̀, ó sì kọ àlá náà sílẹ̀.
In the first yeere of Belshazzar King of Babel, Daniel sawe a dreame, and there were visions in his head, vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and declared the summe of the matter.
2 Daniẹli sọ pé, “Nínú ìran mi lóru mo wò ó, mo sì rí afẹ́fẹ́ ọ̀run mẹ́rin tí ó ń ru omi Òkun ńlá sókè.
Daniel spake and saide, I sawe in my vision by night, and behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great sea:
3 Ẹranko ńlá mẹ́rin tí ó yàtọ̀ sí ara wọn, jáde láti inú Òkun náà.
And foure great beastes came vp from the sea one diuers from another.
4 “Ẹranko kìn-ín-ní dàbí i kìnnìún, ó sì ní ìyẹ́ apá a idì, mo sì wò títí a fi fa ìyẹ́ apá rẹ̀ náà tu, a sì gbé e sókè kúrò ní ilẹ̀, a mú kí ó fi ẹsẹ̀ dúró bí ènìyàn, a sì fi àyà ènìyàn fún un.
The first was as a lyon, and had eagles wings: I beheld, til the wings thereof were pluckt of, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and set vpon his feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen him.
5 “Mo sì tún rí ẹranko kejì, ó rí bí irú ẹranko ńlá beari kan tí ó ń gbé ilẹ̀ òtútù; o gbé ara sókè ní apá kan, ó sì ní egungun ìhà mẹ́ta láàrín ẹ̀yìn in rẹ̀, wọ́n sì sọ fún un pé, ‘Dìde kí o sì jẹ ẹran tó pọ̀!’
And beholde, another beast which was the second, was like a beare and stood vpon the one side: and hee had three ribbes in his mouth betweene his teeth, and they saide thus vnto him, Arise and deuoure much flesh.
6 “Lẹ́yìn ìgbà náà, mo tún rí ẹranko kẹta ó rí bí àmọ̀tẹ́kùn. Ẹranko náà ní ìyẹ́ bí i ti ẹyẹ ní ẹ̀yìn, ó sì ní orí mẹ́rin, a sì fún un ní agbára láti ṣe ìjọba.
After this I behelde, and loe, there was an other like a leopard, which had vpon his backe foure wings of a foule: the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen him.
7 “Lẹ́yìn èyí, nínú ìran mi ní òru mo tún rí ẹranko kẹrin, ó dẹ́rùbà ni, ó dáyà fo ni, ó sì lágbára gidigidi. Ó ní eyín irin ńlá; ó ń jẹ, ó sì ń fọ́ túútúú, ó sì fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ èyí tókù mọ́lẹ̀. Ó yàtọ̀ sí gbogbo àwọn ẹranko ti ìṣáájú, ó sì ní ìwo mẹ́wàá.
After this I saw in the visions by night, and beholde, the fourth beast was fearefull and terrible and very strong. It had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue vnder his feete: and it was vnlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten hornes.
8 “Bí mo ṣe ń ronú nípa ìwo náà, nígbà náà ni mo rí ìwo mìíràn, tí ó kéré tí ó jáde wá ní àárín wọn; mẹ́ta lára àwọn ìwo ti àkọ́kọ́ sì fàtu níwájú u rẹ̀. Ìwo yìí ní ojú bí i ojú ènìyàn àti ẹnu tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ ìgbéraga.
As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another litle horne, before whome there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things.
9 “Bí mo ṣe ń wò, “a gbé ìtẹ́ ọba kan kalẹ̀, ẹni ìgbàanì jókòó sórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀. Aṣọ rẹ̀ funfun bí ẹ̀gbọ̀n òwú; irun orí rẹ̀ funfun bí òwú, ìtẹ́ ọba rẹ̀ rí bí ọwọ́ iná. Àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ ń jó bí i iná.
I behelde, till the thrones were set vp, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the heare of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire.
10 Odò iná ń sàn, ó ń jáde ní iwájú rẹ̀ wá. Àwọn ẹgbẹ̀rún lọ́nà ẹgbẹ̀rún ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún un; ọ̀nà ẹgbẹẹgbàárùn-ún nígbà ẹgbàárùn-ún dúró níwájú rẹ̀. Àwọn onídàájọ́ jókòó, a sì ṣí ìwé wọ̀n-ọn-nì sílẹ̀.
A fierie streame yssued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and tenne thousand thousands stoode before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes opened.
11 “Nígbà náà ni mo bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní wò, nítorí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ ìgbéraga tí ìwo náà ń sọ, mo wò títí a fi pa ẹranko náà, a sì pa á run, a sì jù ú sínú iná tí ń jó.
Then I behelde, because of the voyce of the presumptuous wordes, which the horne spake: I behelde, euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning fire.
12 A sì gba ìjọba lọ́wọ́ àwọn ẹranko yòókù, ṣùgbọ́n a fún wọn láààyè láti wà fún ìgbà díẹ̀.
As concerning the other beastes, they had taken away their dominion: yet their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season.
13 “Nínú ìran mi ní òru mo wò, mo rí ẹnìkan tí ó dúró sí iwájú u mi, ó rí bí ọmọ ènìyàn, ó ń bọ̀ wá nínú àwọsánmọ̀ ọ̀run, ó ń bọ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni ìgbàanì, a sì mú u wá sí iwájú rẹ̀.
As I behelde in visions by night, behold, one like the sonne of man came in the cloudes of heauen, and approched vnto the Ancient of dayes, and they brought him before him.
14 A sì fi ìjọba, ògo àti agbára ilẹ̀ ọba fún un; gbogbo ènìyàn, orílẹ̀-èdè àti èdè gbogbo wọn wólẹ̀ fún un. Ìjọba rẹ̀, ìjọba ayérayé ni, èyí tí kò le è kọjá, ìjọba rẹ̀ kò sì le è díbàjẹ́ láéláé.
And he gaue him dominion, and honour, and a kingdome, that all people, nations and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall neuer bee taken away: and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed.
15 “Ọkàn èmi Daniẹli, dàrú, ìran tí ó wá sọ́kàn mi dẹ́rùbà mí.
I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the middes of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraide.
16 Mo lọ bá ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó dúró níbẹ̀, mo sì bi í léèrè òtítọ́ ìtumọ̀ nǹkan wọ̀nyí. “Ó sọ fún mi, ó sì túmọ̀ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún mi:
Therefore I came vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth of all this: so he tolde me, and shewed me the interpretation of these things.
17 ‘Àwọn ẹranko ńlá mẹ́rin yìí, ni ìjọba mẹ́rin tí yóò dìde ní ayé.
These great beastes which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth,
18 Ṣùgbọ́n, ẹni mímọ́ ti Ọ̀gá-ògo ni yóò gba ìjọba náà, yóò sì jogún un rẹ títí láé àti títí láéláé.’
And they shall take the kingdome of the Saintes of the most High, and possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer.
19 “Nígbà náà, ni mo fẹ́ mọ ìtumọ̀ òtítọ́ ẹranko kẹrin, tí ó yàtọ̀ sí àwọn yòókù, èyí tí ó dẹ́rùba ni gidigidi, tí ó ní eyín irin àti èékánná idẹ, ẹranko tí ó ń run tí ó sì ń pajẹ, tí ó sì ń fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ èyí tókù mọ́lẹ̀.
After this, I woulde knowe the trueth of the fourth beast, which was so vnlike to all the others, very fearefull, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse: which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue vnder his feete.
20 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo sì fẹ́ mọ̀ nípa ìwo mẹ́wàá orí rẹ̀ àti nípa ìwo yòókù tí ó jáde, nínú èyí tí mẹ́ta lára wọn ṣubú, ìwo tí ó ní ojú, tí ẹnu rẹ̀ ń sọ̀rọ̀ ìgbéraga.
Also to know of the tenne hornes that were in his head, and of the other which came vp, before whome three fell, and of the horne that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, whose looke was more stoute then his fellowes.
21 Bí mo ṣe ń wò, ìwo yìí ń bá àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ jagun, ó sì borí i wọn,
I beheld, and the same horne made battel against the Saintes, yea, and preuailed against them,
22 títí ẹni ìgbàanì fi dé, ó sì ṣe ìdájọ́ ìdáláre fún àwọn ẹni mímọ́ Ọ̀gá-ògo, àsìkò náà sì dé nígbà tí àwọn ẹni mímọ́ náà jogún ìjọba.
Vntill the Ancient of dayes came, and iudgement was giuen to the Saintes of the most High: and the time approched, that the Saintes possessed the kingdome.
23 “Ó ṣe àlàyé yìí fún mi pé, ‘Ẹranko kẹrin ni ìjọba kẹrin tí yóò wà ní ayé. Yóò yàtọ̀ sí gbogbo àwọn ìjọba yòókù yóò sì pa gbogbo ayé run, yóò tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀, yóò sì fọ́ ọ́ sí wẹ́wẹ́.
Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdome in the earth, which shall be vnlike to all the kingdomes, and shall deuoure the whole earth, and shall treade it downe and breake it in pieces.
24 Ìwo mẹ́wàá ni ọba mẹ́wàá tí yóò wá láti inú ìjọba yìí. Lẹ́yìn tí wọn ní ọba mìíràn yóò dìde, ti yóò yàtọ̀ sí tí àwọn ti ìṣáájú, yóò sì borí ọba mẹ́ta.
And the ten hornes out of this kingdome are tenne Kings that shall rise: and an other shall rise after them, and he shall be vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three Kings,
25 Yóò sọ̀rọ̀ odi sí Ọ̀gá-ògo, yóò sì pọ́n ẹni mímọ́ lójú, yóò sì gbèrò láti yí ìgbà àti òfin padà. A ó fi àwọn ẹni mímọ́ lé e lọ́wọ́ fún ìgbà díẹ̀, ní ọdún méjì àti ààbọ̀.
And shall speake wordes against the most High, and shall consume the Saintes of the most High, and thinke that he may change times and lawes, and they shalbe giuen into his hand, vntill a time, and times and the deuiding of time.
26 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn onídàájọ́ yóò jókòó, nígbà náà ni a ó gba agbára rẹ̀, a ó sì pa á rùn pátápátá títí ayé.
But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende.
27 Nígbà náà, ni a ó gba ìjọba, agbára àti títóbi ìjọba rẹ̀ ní abẹ́ gbogbo ọ̀run, a ó sì fi fún àwọn ẹni mímọ́, àwọn ènìyàn Ọ̀gá-ògo. Ìjọba rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ ìjọba títí ayé, gbogbo aláṣẹ ni yóò máa ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí i, wọn yóò sì máa sìn ín.’
And the kingdome, and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen shalbe giue to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and all powers shall serue and obey him.
28 “Báyìí ni àlá náà ṣe parí, ọkàn èmi Daniẹli sì dàrú gidigidi, nítorí èrò ọkàn mi yìí, ojú mi sì yípadà ṣùgbọ́n mo pa ọ̀ràn náà mọ́ ní ọkàn mi.”
Euen this is the ende of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled mee, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart.
