Daniel 8
1 Nígbà tí ó di ọdún kẹta ìjọba Belṣassari ọba, èmi Daniẹli rí ìran kan èyí tí mo ti rí tẹ́lẹ̀.
In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 Nínú ìran náà, mo rí ara mi nínú ilé ìṣọ́ ní Susa ní agbègbè ìjọba Elamu: nínú ìran náà mo wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ odò Ulai.
I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
3 Mo wo òkè mo sì rí àgbò kan tí ó ní ìwo méjì níwájú mi, ó dúró sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ odò Ulai, àwọn ìwo náà sì gùn. Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀kan gùn ju èkejì lọ, èyí tí ó gùn jù ni ó yọ jáde kẹ́yìn.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 Mo rí àgbò náà ó ń kàn sí ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn, sí àríwá, àti sí gúúsù, kò sí ẹranko kankan tí ó le è dojúkọ ọ́, kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó le è yọ ọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ agbára rẹ̀, ó ń ṣe bí ó ti wù ú, ó sì di alágbára.
I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
5 Bí mo ṣe ń ronú nípa èyí, lójijì ni òbúkọ kan tí ó ní ìwo láàrín ojú u rẹ̀ méjèèjì jáde láti ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn, ó la gbogbo ayé kọjá láìfi ara kan ilẹ̀.
As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 Ó tọ àgbò tí ó ni ìwo méjì náà wá, èyí tí mo rí tó dúró sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ odò Ulai, ó sì dojúkọ ọ́ pẹ̀lú ìrunú tí ó lágbára.
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.
7 Mo rí i tí ó fi ìtara kọlu àgbò náà, ó lu àgbò náà bolẹ̀, ó sì ṣẹ́ ìwo rẹ̀ méjèèjì. Àgbò náà kò sì ní agbára láti dojúkọ ọ́, Òbúkọ náà kàn án mọ́lẹ̀, ó sì fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí ó lè gba àgbò náà là kúrò lọ́wọ́ agbára rẹ̀.
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Òbúkọ náà sì di alágbára púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó dé góńgó, agbára rẹ̀ ru sókè, ìwo ńlá a rẹ̀ sì ṣẹ́ dànù, ní ipò o rẹ̀, ìwo mẹ́rin mìíràn hù, ó sì yọrí sí ìhà igun mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin ọ̀run.
The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns towards the four winds of the sky.
9 Lára ọ̀kan nínú wọn, ìwo mìíràn yọ jáde, ó kékeré, ṣùgbọ́n ó dàgbà nínú agbára sí ìhà gúúsù, àti sí ìhà ìlà-oòrùn àti sí ilẹ̀ dídára.
Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—towards the south, and towards the east, and towards the glorious land.
10 Ó sì dàgbà títí ó fi kan ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run, ó sì jù lára àwọn ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run sí ayé ó sì tẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀,
It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.
11 ó sì gbé ara rẹ̀ ga gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ-aládé ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run; ó sì mú ẹbọ ojoojúmọ́ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì gba ààyè ibi mímọ́ rẹ̀.
Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 A fún un ní ẹgbẹ́ ogun ọ̀run àti ẹbọ ojoojúmọ́ nítorí ìwà ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ẹ rẹ̀, ó sọ òtítọ́ nù nínú gbogbo ohun tó ṣe.
The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
13 Nígbà náà, ni mo gbọ́ tí ẹni mímọ́ ń sọ̀rọ̀, àti ẹni mímọ́ mìíràn sọ̀rọ̀ fún un pé, “Yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí ìran yìí yóò fi wá sí ìmúṣẹ—ìran nípa ẹbọ ojoojúmọ́, ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ tí ó mú ìsọdahoro wa, àní láti fi ibi mímọ́ àti ogun ọ̀run fún ni ní ìtẹ̀mọ́lẹ̀?”
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”
14 Ó sọ fún mi pé, “Yóò gbà tó ẹgbọ̀kànlá lé lọ́gọ́rùn-ún alẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀; lẹ́yìn náà ni a ó tún ibi mímọ́ yà sí mímọ́.”
He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
15 Nígbà tí èmi Daniẹli, ń wo ìran náà, mo sì ń fẹ́ kí ó yé mi, ẹnìkan tí ó sì dúró níwájú mi.
When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.
16 Mo gbọ́ ohùn ènìyàn ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ Ulai, tí ó ń ké pé “Gabrieli, sọ ìtumọ̀ ìran náà fún ọkùnrin yìí.”
I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
17 Bí ó ṣe súnmọ́ ibi tí mo dúró sí, ẹ̀rù bà mí, mo sì dọ̀bálẹ̀. Ó ń sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, jẹ́ kí ó yé ọ pé ìran náà ń sọ nípa ìgbà ìkẹyìn ni.”
So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”
18 Bí ó ṣe ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀, mo ti sùn lọ fọnfọn, bí mo ṣe da ojú bolẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni ó fi ọwọ́ kàn mí, ó sì gbé mi dúró lórí ẹsẹ̀ mi.
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face towards the ground; but he touched me and set me upright.
19 Ó sọ wí pé, “Èmi yóò sọ ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ìkẹyìn ní ìgbà ìbínú, nítorí ìran náà jẹ mọ́ àkókò ohun tí a yàn nígbà ìkẹyìn.
He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 Àgbò oníwo méjì tí o rí, òun ni ó dúró gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọba Media àti Persia.
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Òbúkọ onírun náà ni ọba Giriki, ìwo ńlá ti ó wà láàrín ojú u rẹ̀ ni ọba àkọ́kọ́.
The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Ìwo mẹ́rin mìíràn sì dìde dúró dípò ọ̀kan tí ó ṣẹ́, èyí dúró gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìjọba mẹ́rin tí yóò dìde nínú orílẹ̀-èdè náà, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì yóò ní ní irú agbára kan náà.
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
23 “Ní ìgbà ìkẹyìn ìjọba wọn, nígbà tí àwọn oníwà búburú bá dé ní kíkún, ni ọba kan yóò dìde, tí ojú rẹ̀ le koko, tí ó sì mòye ọ̀rọ̀ àrékérekè.
“In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.
24 Yóò di alágbára, ṣùgbọ́n tí kì í ṣe nípa agbára rẹ̀. Yóò sì máa ṣe ìparun tí yóò ya ni lẹ́nu, yóò sì máa ṣe àṣeyọrí nínú ohun gbogbo tó ń ṣe. Yóò sì run àwọn alágbára àti àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́.
His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
25 Nípa àrékérekè rẹ̀, yóò mú kí ẹ̀tàn gbèrú, yóò gbé ara rẹ̀ ga nínú ọkàn rẹ̀, nígbà tí wọ́n rò wí pé àlàáfíà dé, yóò sì pa àwọn ènìyàn run, nígbà tí wọn kò rò tẹ́lẹ̀, yóò sì lòdì sí olórí àwọn ọmọ-aládé, síbẹ̀, a ó pa á run ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe nípa agbára ènìyàn.
Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.
26 “Ìran alẹ́ àti ti òwúrọ̀, tí a fihàn ọ́ jẹ́ òtítọ́, ṣùgbọ́n pa ìran náà mọ́, nítorí pé, ó jẹ mọ́ ti ọjọ́ iwájú.”
“The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”
27 Èmi Daniẹli sì ṣe àárẹ̀ fún ọjọ́ mélòó kan. Nígbà náà, mo dìde, mo sì ń bá iṣẹ́ ọba lọ. Ìran náà sì bà mí lẹ́rù, kò sì yé mi.
I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
