Vision About Empires Wey Dey Rise and Fall
One goat match one ram down, and the goat big horn break into four. From one of dem, one small horn come out wey stop the daily offering and throw truth for ground. Gabriel explain say na Persia and Greece; Daniel sick for many days and e still no understand.
8 1For King Belshazzar third year, one vision come show me, Daniel, afta di one wey bin show me before. 2For di vision, I dey inside di strong city Susa, wey dey Elam province; and for di vision, I dey by di Ulai Canal. 3I look up: one ram stand for front di canal, e get two long horn—one long pass di oda, and di one wey long pass grow last. 4I watch di ram as e dey charge go west, go north, and go south. No animal fit stand am, nobody fit rescue anyone from im power. E do wetin e like and e grow big.
5As I dey consider dis one, na so one male goat sharp-sharp come from di west, cross di whole earth without im foot touch ground; e get one big horn wey stand out for between im two eye. 6E come reach di ram wey get two horn wey I see standing by di canal, and e rush am with power wey full of vex. 7I see am as e reach di ram, e vex well-well, e strike am and break im two horn. Di ram no get strength to stand am; di goat throw am down and step am for ground, and nobody fit rescue di ram from im power. 8Di goat grow big well-well, but as e reach im full strength, di big horn break, and four horn wey stand out grow for im place, dey face di four wind of heaven.
9From one of dem, one small horn come out, e dey grow big well-well, dey face di south, di east, and di land wey get glory. 10E grow big, reach sotay di host of heaven, e throw some of di host and some of di star come ground, and e step dem for ground. 11E make imsef big against di Prince of di host; dem take away di offering wey di Prince dey offer regular, and dem throw down di place of im holy place. 12Because of di wrong wey dem dey do, dem hand di army give am togeda with di offering wey dem dey offer everyday; e throw truth come ground, and everything wey e dey do dey work for am.
13Den I hear one holy one dey talk, and anoda holy one ask di one wey dey talk, “Dis vision go last reach how long—di offering wey dem dey offer regular, di wrong wey dey bring desolation, di holy place and di host wey dem hand over make dem step for ground?”
14E tell me, “For 2,300 evening and morning; den dem go put di holy place back for di correct state wey e suppose dey.”
Gabriel Explain Di Vision
15As I, Daniel, dey watch di vision, dey find how to understand am, one person wey resemble man come stand for my front. 16I hear voice of person from di Ulai dey call, “Gabriel, make dis man understand di vision.”
17E come near where I stand, and as e dey come close, fear catch me and I fall face down for ground. E tell me, “Understand, pikin of man: di vision na for di time of di end.”
18As e dey talk, deep sleep catch me, my face dey ground; but e touch me and stand me for my leg.
19E talk say, “Listen, I go tell you wetin go happen for di later time of di vex, because e concern di time of di end wey dem don set. 20Di ram wey you see wey get two horn na di kings of Media and Persia. 21Di goat wey get plenty hair na di king of Greece; di big horn wey dey between im two eye na di first king. 22Di horn wey break, and four wey rise for im place: na four kingdom go rise from im nation, but dem no go get im power.
23For di end of dia reign, wen di sin of di sinners don full reach measure, one king wey get fierce face and sabi cunny plan go rise. 24Im power go big—but no be im own—and e go cause terrible destruction, e go prosper, and e go do wetin e wan do. E go destroy di mighty people and di people of di holy ones. 25Through cunny, e go make deceit dey work under im hand, and for im heart e go lift imsef up. Without warning e go destroy plenty people, and e go rise against di Prince of di princes—but dem go break am, and no be human hand go do am. a a v25 Di proud power wey rise against di Prince of di princes, dem go shatter am “and no be human hand go do am” — na heaven imsef go break am. Dis Prince, di Commander of di host, na wetin di church don long hear as Jesus, wey be di only one wey dey overcome every power wey rise against our Papa people.
26Di vision of di evening and di morning wey dem tell you na true, but seal am up, because e concern days wey still far reach.”
27I, Daniel, weakness overcome me and I dey sick for some days. Den I get up and do di king work, but di vision leave me for shock, e pass wetin I fit understand.
