Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians, a word was revealed to Daniel surnamed Baltassar, and a true word, and great strength: and he understood the word: for there is need of understanding in a vision.
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.
2 In those days I Daniel mourned the days of three weeks.
Pa nthawi imeneyi, ine Danieli ndinalira kwa masabata atatu.
3 I ate no desirable bread, and neither flesh, nor wine entered into my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment: till the days of three weeks were accomplished.
Sindinadye chakudya chokoma; nyama ndi vinyo sizinakhudze milomo yanga ndi pangʼono pomwe; ndipo sindinadzole mafuta aliwonse mpaka patatha masabata atatu.
4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month I was by the great river which is the Tigris.
Pa tsiku la 24 la mwezi woyamba, nditayima mʼmbali mwa mtsinje waukulu wa Tigirisi,
5 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw: and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold:
ndinakweza maso ndipo ndinaona kuti pafupi ndi ine panali munthu wochokera ku Ufazi atavala zovala zosalala ndi lamba wa golide woyengeka bwino mʼchiwuno mwake.
6 And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms, and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering brass: and the voice of his word like the voice of a multitude.
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.
7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves.
Ine Danieli ndinali ndekha pamene ndinaona masomphenyawa; anthu amene anali ndi ine sanawaone, koma anadzazidwa ndi mantha kotero kuti anathawa ndi kukabisala.
8 And I being left alone saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength.
Choncho ndinatsala ndekha, ndikuonetsetsa masomphenya a ulemererowa. Ndiye nkhope yanga inasinthika, ndinalefuka, ndipo ndinalibenso mphamvu.
9 And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard, I lay in a consternation, upon my face, and my face was close to the ground.
Kenaka ndinamva iye akuyankhula, ndipo pamene ndinkamvetsera, ndinagwa chafufumimba ndi kugona tulo tofa nato.
10 And behold a hand touched me, and lifted me up upon my knees, and upon the joints of my hands.
Dzanja linandikhudza ndi kundinyamula ndipo ndinachita ngati kuwerama pa mawondo manja atagwira pansi.
11 And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling.
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.
12 And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words.
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.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians.
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.
14 But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days.
Tsopano ndafika kuti ndidzakufotokozere zimene zidzachitika kwa anthu a mtundu wako kutsogolo. Ndipo pali masomphenya enanso okhudza nthawi imene ikudza.”
15 And when he was speaking such words to me, I cast down my countenance to the ground, and held my peace.
Pa nthawi yomwe ankanena izi kwa ine, ndinazolika nkhope yanga pansi kusowa chonena.
16 And behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me: O my Lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no strength hath remained in me.
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.
17 And how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? for no strength remaineth in me, moreover my breath is stopped.
Kodi ine mtumiki wamba wa mbuye wanga ndingathe bwanji kuyankhula ndi inu mbuye wanga? Mphamvu zanga zatha, ndipo ndikulephera kupuma.”
18 Therefore he that looked like a man touched me again, and strengthened me.
Kenaka wooneka ngati munthu uja anandikhudzanso ndipo anandipatsa mphamvu.
19 And he said: Fear not, O man of desires, peace be to thee: take courage and be strong. And when he spoke to me, I grew strong: and I said: Speak, O my lord, for thou hast strengthened me.
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.”
20 And he said: Dost thou know wherefore I am come to thee? and now I will return, to fight against the prince of the Persians. When I went forth, there appeared the prince of the Greeks coming.
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.
21 But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince.
Koma ndikuwuza zimene zalembedwa mʼbuku la zoona koma palibe wondithandiza kulimbana nawo kupatula Mikayeli, kalonga wako.”
