Danieli 10
1 Chaka chachitatu cha Koresi mfumu ya Aperezi, Danieli amene ankatchedwa Belitesezara analandira mawu a vumbulutso. Uthenga wake unali woona ndipo anawumvetsa movutikira. Uthengawu anawumva kudzera mʼmasomphenya.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing is true, but the appointed time of trial is long; and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2 Pa nthawi imeneyi, ine Danieli ndinalira kwa masabata atatu.
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks:
3 Sindinadye chakudya chokoma; nyama ndi vinyo sizinakhudze milomo yanga ndi pangʼono pomwe; ndipo sindinadzole mafuta aliwonse mpaka patatha masabata atatu.
I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three full weeks were fulfilled.
4 Pa tsiku la 24 la mwezi woyamba, nditayima mʼmbali mwa mtsinje waukulu wa Tigirisi,
And on the four-and-twentieth day of the first month, I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel:
5 ndinakweza maso ndipo ndinaona kuti pafupi ndi ine panali munthu wochokera ku Ufazi atavala zovala zosalala ndi lamba wa golide woyengeka bwino mʼchiwuno mwake.
and I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz;
6 Thupi lake linali ngati mwala wonyezimira, nkhope yake ngati chiphaliwali, maso ake ngati muni wowala, manja ndi miyendo yake ngati mkuwa wowala, ndipo mawu ake ngati liwu la chikhamu cha anthu.
and his body was like a chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet as the look of burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 Ine Danieli ndinali ndekha pamene ndinaona masomphenyawa; anthu amene anali ndi ine sanawaone, koma anadzazidwa ndi mantha kotero kuti anathawa ndi kukabisala.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision; and the men that were with me saw not the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
8 Choncho ndinatsala ndekha, ndikuonetsetsa masomphenya a ulemererowa. Ndiye nkhope yanga inasinthika, ndinalefuka, ndipo ndinalibenso mphamvu.
And I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; and my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 Kenaka ndinamva iye akuyankhula, ndipo pamene ndinkamvetsera, ndinagwa chafufumimba ndi kugona tulo tofa nato.
And I heard the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, I fell into a deep stupor on my face, and my face to the ground.
10 Dzanja linandikhudza ndi kundinyamula ndipo ndinachita ngati kuwerama pa mawondo manja atagwira pansi.
And behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and the palms of my hands.
11 Iye anati, “Danieli, iwe wokondedwa kwambiri, imirira ndipo uganizire mosamala mawu ndiyankhule kwa iwe, popeza tsopano ndatumidwa kwa iwe.” Atanena izi kwa ine ndinayimirira monjenjemera.
And he said unto me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for unto thee am I now sent. And as he spoke this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Ndipo iye anapitiriza nati, “Usachite mantha Danieli. Kuyambira tsiku loyamba pamene unatsimikiza mtima kuti umvetse zinthuzi ndi kudzichepetsa pamaso pa Mulungu wako, pempho lako linamveka ndipo ndabwera kudzayankha mapemphero akowo.
And he said unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come because of thy words.
13 Koma mtsogoleri wa ufumu wa Peresiya ananditchingira pa masiku 21, kenaka Mikayeli, mmodzi mwa angelo akuluakulu anadza kudzandithandiza chifukwa ndinakhala komweko ndi mafumu a ku Peresiya.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
14 Tsopano ndafika kuti ndidzakufotokozere zimene zidzachitika kwa anthu a mtundu wako kutsogolo. Ndipo pali masomphenya enanso okhudza nthawi imene ikudza.”
And I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people at the end of the days: for the vision is yet for [many] days.
15 Pa nthawi yomwe ankanena izi kwa ine, ndinazolika nkhope yanga pansi kusowa chonena.
And as he was speaking with me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
16 Kenaka wina wa maonekedwe ngati munthu anakhudza milomo yanga, ndipo ndinatsekula pakamwa panga ndi kuyamba kuyankhula. Ndinati kwa amene anayima patsogolo panga, “Ine ndasweka mtima chifukwa cha masomphenyawa mbuye wanga, ndipo ndalefuka.
And behold, one after the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; and I opened my mouth and spoke, and said unto him that stood before me, My lord, by reason of the vision my pains are turned upon me, and I retain no strength.
17 Kodi ine mtumiki wamba wa mbuye wanga ndingathe bwanji kuyankhula ndi inu mbuye wanga? Mphamvu zanga zatha, ndipo ndikulephera kupuma.”
And how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remaineth no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
18 Kenaka wooneka ngati munthu uja anandikhudzanso ndipo anandipatsa mphamvu.
Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me;
19 Iye anati, “Usachite mantha, munthu wokondedwa kwambiriwe. Mtendere ukhale ndi Iwe ndipo ukhale wolimba.” Atayankhula nane, ndinalimbikitsidwa ndipo ndinati, “Yankhulani Mbuye wanga, popeza mwandipatsa mphamvu.”
and he said, Fear not, man greatly beloved; peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And as he was speaking with me I was strengthened, and I said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20 Ndipo iye anati, “Kodi ukudziwa chifukwa chimene ndabwerera kwa iwe? Ndiyamba ndabwerera kukamenyana ndi mtsogoleri wa ufumu wa Peresiya, ndipo ndikakanthana naye, kenaka mtsogoleri wa ufumu wa Grisi adzabwera.
And he said, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? And now I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I go forth, behold, the prince of Greece shall come.
21 Koma ndikuwuza zimene zalembedwa mʼbuku la zoona koma palibe wondithandiza kulimbana nawo kupatula Mikayeli, kalonga wako.”
However, I will declare unto thee that which is set down in the scripture of truth; and there is not one that sheweth himself strong with me against these, but Michael your prince.
