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 year one of Belshazzar [the] king of Babylon Daniel a dream he saw and [the] visions of head his on bed his then dream the he wrote [the] head of matters he said.
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.
[was] replying Daniel and [was] saying seeing I was in vision my with night the and lo! [the] four [the] winds of heavens the [were] stirring up sea the great.
3 Ẹranko ńlá mẹ́rin tí ó yàtọ̀ sí ara wọn, jáde láti inú Òkun náà.
And four beasts great [were] coming up from sea the [they were] different this [one] from this [one].
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.
First the [was] like a lion and wings of an eagle [were] to it seeing I was until that they were plucked off wings its and it was lifted away from earth the and on two feet like a human it was made to stand and a heart of a human it was given to it.
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 lo! a beast another a second [was] like a bear and to a side one it was raised and three ribs [were] in mouth its between (tooth its *Q(K)*) and as follows [they were] saying to it arise devour! flesh much.
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 seeing I was and lo! another like a leopard and to it wings four of a bird [were] on (back its *Q(K)*) and four heads [were] to beast the and dominion it was given to it.
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 seeing I was in [the] visions of night the and lo! a beast (fourth *Q(k)*) [was] fearful and terrible and strong exceedingly and teeth of iron [were] to it great [it was] devouring and [it was] shattering and rest the (with foot its *Q(K)*) [it was] trampling and it [was] different from all beasts the which [was] before it and horns ten [were] to it.
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.
Considering I was horns the and lo! a horn another small it came up (between them *Q(K)*) and three of horns the former (they were uprooted *Q(K)*) from (before it *Q(k)*) and lo! eyes like [the] eyes of humankind [were] on horn the this and a mouth [was] speaking great [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.
Seeing I was until that thrones they were placed and [one] ancient of days he sat clothing his - like snow [was] white and [the] hair of head his like wool [was] pure throne his [was] flames of fire wheels its [were] fire burning.
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 river of fire [was] flowing and [was] coming out from before him a thousand of (thousands *Q(k)*) they were ministering to him and a myriad of (myriads *Q(k)*) before him they were standing court the it sat and books they were 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.
Seeing I was then from [the] sound of words the great which horn the [was] speaking seeing I was until that it was killed beast the and it was destroyed body its and it was given to [the] burning of fire.
12 A sì gba ìjọba lọ́wọ́ àwọn ẹranko yòókù, ṣùgbọ́n a fún wọn láààyè láti wà fún ìgbà díẹ̀.
And [the] rest of beasts the they removed dominion their and a prolonging in life it was given to them until a time and a time.
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.
Seeing I was in [the] visions of night the and lo! with [the] clouds of heavens the like a son of man coming he was and to [the] [one] ancient of days he reached and before him they brought near 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 to him it was given dominion and honor and a kingdom and all peoples the nations the and languages the to him they will pay reverence dominion his [was] a dominion of perpetuity which not it will pass away and kingdom his which not it will be destroyed.
15 “Ọkàn èmi Daniẹli, dàrú, ìran tí ó wá sọ́kàn mi dẹ́rùbà mí.
It was distressed spirit my I Daniel in [the] midst of [the] sheath and [the] visions of head my they alarmed me.
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:
I approached to one of [ones] standing the and truth the I was asking from him concerning all this and he said to me and [the] interpretation of matters the he made known to me.
17 ‘Àwọn ẹranko ńlá mẹ́rin yìí, ni ìjọba mẹ́rin tí yóò dìde ní ayé.
These beasts the great which they [are] four four kings they will arise from earth the.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n, ẹni mímọ́ ti Ọ̀gá-ògo ni yóò gba ìjọba náà, yóò sì jogún un rẹ títí láé àti títí láéláé.’
So they may receive kingdom the [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High so they may take possession of kingdom the until perpetuity and until perpetuity of perpetuities.
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.
Then I desired to make certain concerning beast the fourth which it was different from (all of them *Q(K)*) [it was] terrible exceedingly (tooth its *Q(K)*) of iron and claws its of bronze [it was] devouring [it was] shattering and rest the with feet its [it was] trampling.
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.
And concerning horns the ten which [were] on head its and another [horn] which it came up (and they fell *Q(K)*) from (before it *Q(k)*) three [horns] and horn the this and eyes [were] to it and a mouth [was] speaking great [things] and appearance its [was] great more than companion its.
21 Bí mo ṣe ń wò, ìwo yìí ń bá àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ jagun, ó sì borí i wọn,
Seeing I was and horn the this [was] making war with [the] holy [ones] and [it was] prevailing to 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.
Until that he came [the] [one] ancient of days and judgment it was given for [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High and appointed time the it arrived and kingdom the they took possession of [the] holy [ones].
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.
As follows he said beast the fourth a kingdom (fourth the *Q(k)*) it will be on earth the which it will be different from all kingdoms the so it may devour all earth the and it will tread down it and it will shatter it.
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 horns the ten from it kingdom the ten kings they will arise and another he will arise after them and he he will be different from former [kings] the and three kings he will bring low.
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 words to [the] side of (Most High the *Q(k)*) he will speak and [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High he will wear out so he may think to change appointed times and law so they may be given in hand his until a time and times and half of a time.
26 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn onídàájọ́ yóò jókòó, nígbà náà ni a ó gba agbára rẹ̀, a ó sì pa á rùn pátápátá títí ayé.
And court the it will sit and dominion his they will remove to annihilate and to destroy until end the.
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 kingdom the and dominion the and greatness the of kingdoms under all heavens the it was given to a people [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High kingdom his [will be] a kingdom of perpetuity and all empires the to him they will pay reverence so they may obey.
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.”
To here end the of matter the I Daniel exceedingly - thoughts my they alarmed me and brightness my they were changed on me and matter the in heart my I have kept.
