< Daniel 10 >
1 In the third yeere of Cyrus King of Persia, a thing was reueiled vnto Daniel (whose name was called Belteshazzar) and the worde was true, but the time appointed was long, and he vnderstood the thing, and had vnderstanding of the vision.
Nʼafọ atọ nke ọchịchị Sairọs eze Peshịa, e nyere Daniel (onye aha ya bụkwa Belteshaza mkpughe). Ozi ahụ bụ eziokwu, ọ gbasakwara oke ọgbaaghara. Ọ ghọtara ozi ahụ, nwetakwa nkọwa banyere ọhụ ahụ.
2 At the same time I Daniel was in heauines for three weekes of dayes.
Nʼoge ahụ, mụ onwe m, bụ Daniel, ruru ụjụ izu ụka atọ.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint my selfe at all, till three weekes of dayes were fulfilled.
Erighị m nri ọma ọbụla, erikwaghị m anụ, aṅụkwaghị m mmanya, eteghị m mmanụ otite ọbụla nʼahụ m nʼime izu ụka atọ a niile.
4 And in the foure and twentieth day of the first moneth, as I was by the side of that great riuer, euen Hiddekel,
Nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ na anọ nke ọnwa mbụ nʼafọ, eguzo m nʼakụkụ osimiri ukwu ahụ, bụ Taịgris,
5 And I lift vp mine eyes, and looked, and beholde, there was a man clothed in linnen, whose loynes were girded with fine golde of Vphaz.
eleliri m anya m elu, hụ nʼihu m otu nwoke yi uwe akwa ọcha, onye e kekwasịrị belịt e ji ọlaedo sitere Ụfaz mee nʼukwu ya.
6 His body also was like the Chrysolite, and his face (to looke vpon) like the lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his armes and his feete were like in colour to polished brasse, and the voyce of his wordes was like the voyce of a multitude.
Ahụ ya na-egbukwa maramara dịka nkume beril, ìhè si nʼihu ya dị ka ìhè nke amụma eluigwe. Mkpụrụ anya ya na-enwukwa dịka ire ọkụ. Ụkwụ ya na aka ya na-acha dịka bronz e hichara nke ọma. Okwu si ya nʼọnụ na-ada ụda dịka ụzụ nke ọtụtụ mmadụ.
7 And I Daniel alone sawe the vision: for the men that were with me, sawe not the vision: but a great feare fell vpon them, so that they fled away and hid themselues.
Ọ bụ naanị m Daniel hụrụ ọhụ a. Ndị mụ na ha nọ ahụghị ya, kama na mberede, e mere ka oke egwu tụọ ha, nke mere ka ha gbara ọsọ gaa zoo onwe ha.
8 Therefore I was left alone, and sawe this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my strength was turned in me into corruption, and I reteined no power.
Ọ bụkwa naanị m nọ, mgbe m hụrụ oke ọhụ a. Mgbe m hụkwara ya, ike niile dị m nʼahụ si m nʼahụ pụọ. Ihu m gbanwere nke ukwuu, ike afọdụkwaghị m nʼahụ.
9 Yet heard I the voyce of his wordes: and when I heard the voyce of his wordes, I slept on my face: and my face was toward the ground.
Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m ụda olu ya, ma mgbe m nụrụ ụda olu ya, adara m nʼala kpudo ihu nʼala nʼọnọdụ ịda nʼoke ụra.
10 And behold, an hand touched me, which set me vp vpon my knees and vpon the palmes of mine hands.
Ma otu aka metụrụ m, welite m mee ka m maa jijiji nʼelu ikpere m na aka m abụọ.
11 And he sayde vnto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloued, vnderstand the wordes that I speake vnto thee, and stand in thy place: for vnto thee am I nowe sent. And when hee had sayde this worde vnto me, I stood trembling.
Ọ sịrị m, “Daniel, gị onye a hụrụ nʼanya nke ukwuu. Gee ntị tuleekwa nke ọma okwu niile m na-agwa gị ugbu a. Guzo nʼụkwụ gị abụọ, nʼihi na e zitere m ịbịakwute gị.” Mgbe ọ na-agwa m okwu a, eguzooro m ọtọ, na-ama jijiji.
12 Then sayd he vnto me, Feare not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou diddest set thine heart to vnderstand, and to humble thy selfe before thy God, thy wordes were heard, and I am come for thy wordes.
Ọ sịrị m, “Egwu atụla gị, Daniel. Nʼihi na site nʼụbọchị mbụ i kpebiri inwe nghọta na iweda onwe gị ala nʼihu Chineke gị, ka a nụrụ okwu gị niile, a bịakwara m nʼihi ọsịsa ha.
13 But the prince of the kingdome of Persia withstoode me one and twentie dayes: but loe, Michael one of the chiefe princes, came to helpe me, and I remained there by the Kings of Persia.
Ma onyeisi ndị na-achị alaeze Peshịa gbochiri m, kemgbe iri ụbọchị abụọ na otu. Ya mere, Maikel, otu nʼime ndịisi ọchịchị bịara nyere m aka, nʼihi na mụ onwe m fọdụrụ nʼebe ahụ mụ na eze Peshịa.
14 Nowe I am come to shewe thee what shall come to thy people in the latter dayes: for yet the vision is for many dayes.
Ugbu a, abịala m ime ka ị ghọta ihe ga-adakwasị ndị gị nʼoge ikpeazụ nʼụbọchị dị nʼihu. Nʼihi na ọhụ ndị a dịrị oge ndị na-abịa nʼihu.”
15 And when he spake these wordes vnto me, I set my face towarde the grounde, and helde my tongue.
Mgbe ọ na-agwa m okwu ndị a, ekpunyere m ihu m nʼala enwekwaghị m ike ikwu okwu ọbụla.
16 And beholde, one like the similitude of the sonnes of man touched my lippes: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said vnto him that stoode before me, O my Lord, by the vision my sorowes are returned vpon me, and I haue reteined no strength.
Mgbe ahụ, otu onye, nke yiri mmadụ, bịara metụ egbugbere ọnụ m aka, mee ka m nwee ike ikwukwa okwu ọzọ. Mgbe ahụ agwara m onye ahụ nke guzo m nʼihu, “Anọ m nʼoke ihe mgbu; Onyenwe m, enwekwaghị m ike ọbụla, nʼihi ọhụ m hụrụ.
17 For howe can the seruant of this my Lord talke with my Lord being such one? for as for me, straight way there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
Olee otu mụ bụ ohu gị ga-esi gwa gị okwu, Onyenwe m? Nʼihi na ike adịghịkwa nʼime m, enwekwaghị m ike iku ume.”
18 Then there came againe, and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Mgbe ahụ, otu onye yiri mmadụ bịara metụkwa m aka ọzọ nye m ike.
19 And said, O man, greatly beloued, feare not: peace be vnto thee: be strong and of good courage. And when he had spoken vnto me, I was strengthened, and saide, Let my Lord speake: for thou hast strengthened me.
Ọ sịrị, “Onye a hụrụ nʼanya nke ukwu, atụkwala ụjọ, udo dịrị gị, ya mere dịrị ike, obi sie gị ike.” Mgbe ọ gwara m okwu a, ike m lọghachitere, asịrị m, “Ka onyenwe m kwuo okwu, ebe i nyeghachila m ike.”
20 Then saide he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come vnto thee? but nowe will I returne to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, loe, the prince of Grecia shall come.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị, “Ị maara ihe mere m ji bịakwute gị? Aga m alaghachi azụ ịlụso onyeisi na-achị alaeze Peshịa ọgụ, mgbe mụ ga-apụ, eze na-achị Griis ga-abịa;
21 But I will shew thee that which is decreeed in the Scripture of trueth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
ma otu ọ dị, aga m agwa gị ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nke eziokwu. (Ọ dịghị onye na-enyere m aka imegide ha ma ọ bụghị naanị Maikel onyeisi unu.
