< Daniel 8 >

1 Ɔhene Belsasar adedie mfeɛ mmiɛnsa so, me, Daniel, menyaa anisoadehunu foforɔ bi a na ɛdi deɛ ada ne ho adi akyerɛ me dada no akyi.
In the thridde yeer of the rewme of Balthasar, the king, a visioun apperide to me. Y, Danyel, after that thing that Y hadde seyn in the bigynnyng,
2 Mʼanisoadehunu mu no, mehunuu sɛ na mewɔ Susa abankɛsewa a ɛwɔ Elam mantam; na mʼanisoadehunu mu no, na mewɔ Nsuka Ulai ho.
siy in my visioun, whanne Y was in the castel of Susis, which is in the cuntrei of Helam; sotheli Y siy in the visioun that Y was on the yate Vlay.
3 Memaa mʼani so no, mehunuu odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn atentene mmienu na ɔgyina nsuka no ho wɔ mʼanim. Na ne mmɛn no woware. Na ne mmɛn no baako ware sene baako, nanso deɛ ɛware no na ɛnyinii akyire koraa.
And Y reiside myn iyen, and Y siy; and lo! o ram stood bifor the mareis, and hadde hiy hornes, and oon hiyere than the tother, and vndurwexynge.
4 Mehwɛɛ odwennini no sɛ ɔrepempem kɔ atɔeɛ, atifi ne anafoɔ fam. Na aboa biara ntumi nnyina nʼanim, na obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtumi agye obi foforɔ afiri ne nsa mu. Ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɔpɛ, na ɔyɛɛ kɛseɛ.
Aftirward Y siy the ram wyndewynge with hornes ayens the eest, and ayens the west, and ayens the north, and ayens the south; and alle beestis myyten not ayenstonde it, nether be delyuered fro the hondis of it. And it dide bi his wille, and was magnefied.
5 Ɛberɛ a megu so redwene yie ho no, prɛko pɛ, ɔpapo bi a ɔwɔ abɛn kɛseɛ bi a ɛtua nʼani mmienu no ntam pue firii atɔeɛ fam, twaam faa asase no nyinaa so a ne nan mpo nka fam.
And Y vndurstood. Lo! forsothe a buk of geet cam fro the west on the face of al erthe, and touchide not the erthe; forsothe the buk of geet hadde a noble horn bitwixe hise iyen;
6 Ɔde nʼani kyerɛɛ odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn mmienu no a mehunuu sɛ na ɔgyina nsuka no ho no. Na ɔde ahoɔden tuu mmirika kɔɔ no so.
and he cam til to that horned ram, which Y hadde seyn stondynge bifore the yate, and he ran in the fersnesse of his strengthe to that ram.
7 Ɔpapo no sii ntɔkwanan a emu yɛ den, na ɔpem odwennini bubuu ne mmɛn mmienu no. Odwenini no yɛɛ mmerɛ na wantumi annyina ɔpapo no anim; enti ɔpapo no pem no hwee fam, tiatiaa no so, na obiara antumi annye no amfiri ne nsa mu.
And whanne he hadde neiyid niy the ram, he hurlide fersly on hym, and he smoot the ram, and al to-brak tweyne hornes of hym, and the ram miyte not ayenstonde hym. And whanne he hadde sent that ram in to erthe, he defoulide; and no man miyte delyuere the ram fro his hond.
8 Ɔpapo no bɛyɛɛ ɔniɛdenfoɔ kɛseɛ. Nanso, nʼaniɛden no duruu ne mpɔmpɔnsoɔ no, nʼabɛn kɛseɛ no buiɛ, na nʼanan mu no, mmɛn akɛseɛ ɛnan fifiriiɛ a ɛkyerɛkyerɛ ɔsoro mframa ɛnan no so.
Forsothe the buk of geet was maad ful greet; and whanne he hadde encreessid, the greet horn was brokun, and foure hornes risiden vndur it, bi foure wyndis of heuene.
9 Abɛn foforɔ bi pueeɛ mmɛn akɛseɛ no mu baako ho. Ɛhyɛɛ aseɛ kakraa bi, na ne tumi yɛɛ kɛseɛ kɔɔ anafoɔ ne apueeɛ fam, de kɔɔ Asase Fɛɛfɛ no so.
Forsothe of oon of hem yede out o litil horn, and it was maad greet ayens the south, and ayens the eest, and ayens the strengthe.
10 Ɛnyiniiɛ ara kɔkaa ɔsoro asafo, na ɔtotoo asafo no mu bi a wɔyɛ nsoromma bɛguguu fam, tiatiaa wɔn so.
And it was magnefied til to the strengthe of heuene, and it castide doun of the strengthe and of sterris, and defoulide tho.
11 Na ɔmaa ne ho so bɛyɛɛ ne ho kɛseɛ sɛ ɔsoro asafo no Sahene. Ɔgyee daa daa afɔdeɛ firii ne nsam, na ɔsɛee ne kronkron tenabea hɔ.
And he was magnefied til to the prince of strengthe, and he took awei fro hym the contynuel sacrifice, and castide doun the place of his halewyng.
12 Esiane atuateɛ no enti, wɔde ahotefoɔ asafo no ne wɔn daa daa afɔdeɛ maa no. Na wɔtoo nokorɛ tweneeɛ.
Forsothe strengthe was youun to hym ayens the contynuel sacrifice for synnes, and treuthe schal be cast doun in erthe; and he schal haue prosperite, and schal do.
13 Afei, metee ɔkronkronni bi sɛ ɔrekasa, na ɔkronkronni foforɔ bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛberɛ bɛn na anisoadehunu yi bɛba mu—deɛ ɛfa daa daa afɔdeɛ, atuateɛ a ɛde ɔsɛeɛ ba, kronkron tenabea a wɔbɛgyaa mu ama, ne Awurade asafo a wɔbɛtiatia wɔn so no?”
And Y herde oon of hooli aungels spekynge; and oon hooli aungel seide to another, Y noot to whom spekinge, Hou long the visioun, and the contynuel sacrifice, and the synne of desolacioun, which is maad, and the seyntuarie, and the strengthe schal be defoulid?
14 Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Ɛbɛdi anwummerɛ ne anɔpa 2,300, ansa na wɔasane ate kronkron tenabea no ho.”
And he seide to hym, Til to the euentid and morewtid, two thousynde daies and thre hundrid; and the seyntuarie schal be clensid.
15 Ɛberɛ a me Daniel, merehwɛ anisoadehunu na mepɛɛ sɛ mete aseɛ no, obi a ɔte sɛ ɔbarima bɛgyinaa mʼanim.
Forsothe it was doon, whanne Y, Danyel, siy the visioun, and axide the vndurstondyng, lo! as the licnesse of a man stood in my siyt.
16 Na metee onipa nne a ɛrefrɛ firi Ulai mu sɛ, “Gabriel, kyerɛ saa ɔbarima yi anisoadehunu no ase.”
And Y herde the voys of a man bitwixe Vlai, and he criede, and seide, Gabriel, make thou Danyel to vndurstonde this visioun.
17 Ɔrebɛn baabi a na megyina no, mesuroeɛ, na mede mʼanim butuu fam. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, te aseɛ sɛ anisoadehunu no fa awieɛberɛ no ho.”
And he cam, and stood bisidis where Y stood; and whanne he was comun, Y dredde, and felle on my face. And he seide to me, Thou, sone of man, vndurstonde, for the visioun schal be fillid in the tyme of ende.
18 Ɛberɛ a ɔrekasa akyerɛ me no, medaa nnahɔɔ a mʼanim butu fam. Na ɔsɔɔ me mu de me gyinaa me nan so.
And whanne he spak to me, Y slood doun `plat to the erthe. And he touchide me, and settide me in my degree.
19 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Merebɛka deɛ ɛbɛsi akyire no wɔ abufuberɛ mu akyerɛ wo, ɛfiri sɛ anisoadehunu no fa awieeɛ ɛberɛ a wɔahyɛ no ho.
And he seide to me, Y schal schewe to thee what thingis schulen come in the laste of cursing, for the tyme hath his ende.
20 Odwennini a ɔwɔ mmɛn mmienu no gyina hɔ ma Media ne Persia ahemfo no.
The ram, whom thou siyest haue hornes, is the kyng of Medeis and of Perseis.
21 Ɔpapo niɛdenfoɔ no yɛ Helahene, na abɛn kɛseɛ a ɛtua nʼani ntam no yɛ ɔhene a ɔdi ɛkan no.
Forsothe the buc of geet is the kyng of Grekis; and the greet horn that was bitwixe hise iyen, he is the firste kyng.
22 Mmɛn ɛnan a ɛbɛsii abɛn a ɛbubuu no anan mu no gyina hɔ ma ahennie ɛnan a ɛbɛsɔre afiri ne ɔman no mu, nanso wɔn tumidie renyɛ pɛ.
Forsothe that whanne that horn was brokun, foure hornes risiden for it, foure kyngis schulen rise of the folc of hym, but not in the strengthe of hym.
23 “Wɔn adedie no rekɔ awieeɛ no, ɛberɛ a atuatefoɔ no ayɛ atirimuɔden mmorosoɔ no, ɔhene a ɔyɛ den, na ɔdi kontonkyisɛm bɛsɔre.
And after the rewme of hem, whanne `wickidnessis han encreessid, a kyng schal rise vnschamefast in face, and vndurstondyng proposisiouns, ether resouns set forth; and his strengthe schal be maad stalworthe,
24 Ɔbɛyɛ den yie a ɛmfiri nʼankasa tumi mu. Ɔbɛsɛe adeɛ ama nnipa ho adwiri wɔn, na ɔbɛdi nkonim wɔ biribiara a ɔbɛyɛ mu. Ɔbɛsɛe ahoɔdenfoɔ ne akronkronfoɔ.
but not in hise strengthis. And more than it mai be bileuyd he schal waste alle thingis, and he schal haue prosperite, and schal do. And he schal sle stronge men, and the puple of seyntis,
25 Ɔbɛma nnaadaa agye ntini, na ɔbɛyɛ ahomasoɔ. Ɔbɛsɛe bebree a ɔmmɔ nkaeɛ, na ɔbɛsɔre atia ahenemma mu Ɔheneba no, nanso wɔbɛsɛe no a ɛmfiri onipa ahoɔden mu.
bi his wille, and gile schal be dressid in his hond. And he schal magnefie his herte, and in abundaunce of alle thingis he schal sle ful many men. And he schal rise ayens the prince of princes, and withouten hond he schal be al to-brokun.
26 “Anwummerɛ ne anɔpa anisoadehunu a wɔde ama wo no yɛ nokorɛ, nanso, sɔ ano, ɛfiri sɛ ɛfa daakye bi a ɛnnya mmaeɛ ho.”
And the visioun, which is seid in the morewtid and euentid, is trewe. Therfor seele thou the visioun, for it schal be after many daies.
27 Me, Daniel, meyɛɛ mmerɛ, na meyaree nna kakra. Akyire yi, mesɔre kɔyɛɛ ɔhene adwuma. Anisoadehunu no yɛɛ me ahodwirie; na ɛboro nteaseɛ so.
And Y, Danyel, was astonyed, and was sijk bi ful many daies; and whanne Y hadde rise, Y dide the werkis of the kyng; and Y was astonyed at the visioun, and `noon was that interpretide.
