Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing is revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the thing [is] true, and the warfare [is] great: and he has understood the thing, and has understanding about the appearance.
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 “In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks of days;
Nʼoge ahụ, mụ onwe m, bụ Daniel, ruru ụjụ izu ụka atọ.
3 I have not eaten desirable bread, and no flesh and wine came into my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at all, until the completion of three weeks of days.
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 twenty-fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel:
Nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ na anọ nke ọnwa mbụ nʼafọ, eguzo m nʼakụkụ osimiri ukwu ahụ, bụ Taịgris,
5 and I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz,
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 and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright bronze, and the voice of his words as the voice 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, have seen the vision by myself, and the men who have been with me have not seen the vision, but a great trembling has fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden;
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 and I have been left by myself, and I see this great vision, and there has been no power left in me, and my splendor has been turned in me to corruption, indeed, I have not retained 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 And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face [is] to the earth;
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, a hand has come against me, and shakes me on my knees and the palms of my hands.
Ma otu aka metụrụ m, welite m mee ka m maa jijiji nʼelu ikpere m na aka m abụọ.
11 And he says to me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking to you, and stand on your station, for now I have been sent to you. And when he speaks with me this word, I have 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 And he says to me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you gave your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.
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 And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing in opposition in front of me [for] twenty-one days, and behold, Michael, first of the chief heads, has come to help me, and I have remained there near 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 and I have come to cause you to understand that which happens to your people in the latter end of the days, for yet the vision [is] after days.
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 speaks with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;
Mgbe ọ na-agwa m okwu ndị a, ekpunyere m ihu m nʼala enwekwaghị m ike ikwu okwu ọbụla.
16 and behold, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say to him who is standing in opposition in front of me: My lord, by the vision my pangs have been turned against me, and I have retained no power.
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 And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? As for me, from now on there remains in me no power, indeed, breath has not been 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 And he adds, and strikes against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengthens me,
Mgbe ahụ, otu onye yiri mmadụ bịara metụkwa m aka ọzọ nye m ike.
19 and he says: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to you, be strong, indeed, be strong; and when he speaks with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, for you have 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 And he says, Have you known why I have come to you? And now I return to fight with the head of Persia; indeed, I am going forth, and behold, the head of Javan has 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 declare to you that which is noted down in the Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself with me, concerning these, except Michael your head.”
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.
