< Daniel 10 >

1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar. This message was true. It was about a great war. Daniel understood the message when he had insight from the vision.
E higa mar adek mar loch Sairas ruodh Pasia, nonyis Daniel (ma bende iluongo ni Belteshazar) tiend fwenyno mane oseneno. Wachno ne en adier, kendo ne en kuom lweny moro maduongʼ! Tiend wachno nobirone e fweny.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was in mourning for three weeks.
E kindeno, an Daniel, noyudo akuyo kuom jumbe adek,
3 I ate no delicacies, I ate no meat, I drank no wine, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the completion of three entire weeks.
ka ok acham chiemo moro amora moa e od ruoth bende ringʼo kata divai ne ok donji e dhoga, kendo ne ok awirora gi mo moro amora nyaka jumbe adekgo norumo.
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was beside the great river (that is, the Tigris),
Tarik piero ariyo gangʼwen mar dwe mokwongo, kane oyudo achungʼ e geng aora maduongʼ ma Tigris,
5 I looked up and saw a man dressed in linen, with a belt around his waist made of pure gold from Uphaz.
ne atingʼo wangʼa kendo e nyima kanyo naneno ngʼato morwako law mayom, kendo notweyo kamba molos gi dhahabu malerie mogik e nungone.
6 His body was like topaz, and his face was like lightning. His eyes were like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet were like polished bronze. The sound of his words was like the sound of a great crowd.
Dende nechalo gi kidi ma nengone tek miluongo ni krisolit, lela wangʼe ne chalo gi mil polo, to wengene ne mil ka mach makakni, bedene gi tiendene ne mil ka mula morudhi maler, kendo dwonde ne chalo gi dwond oganda maduongʼ.
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision. However, a great terror came on them, and they ran away to hide themselves.
An Daniel kenda ema naneno fwenyno joma ne ni koda to ne ok onene, kata kamano luoro maduongʼ nomakogi mi negitony gi ngʼwech mi gipondo.
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; my bright appearance was turned into a ruined look, and no strength remained in me.
Omiyo ne adongʼ kenda, ka angʼiyo fweny maduongʼni; tekra norumo, lela wangʼa notwo ka gima atho, kendo nanyosora marumo.
9 Then I heard his words—and as I heard them, I fell on my face in deep sleep with my face to the ground.
Bangʼe nawinje kowuoyo, mine achikone ita; nindo matut notera, kendo napodho piny auma.
10 A hand touched me, and it made me tremble in my knees and the palms of my hands.
Lwedo moro nomula, mi nomiyo tiendena gi bedena ochako tetni.
11 The angel said to me, “Daniel, man greatly treasured, understand the words that I am speaking to you. Stand upright, for I have been sent to you.” When he had spoken this message to me, I stood up trembling.
Nowachona niya, “Daniel, in ngʼat ma Nyasaye ogeno ahinya, aa malo kendo par matut kuom weche ma adwaro nyisigi, nikech koro oseora iri.” To ka nowachona kamano, nachungʼ malo ka atetni.
12 Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you set your mind to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.
Nomedo wachona ni, Daniel, kik iluor. Odiechiengʼ mane ichake keto chunyi mar winjo tiend wachni, kendo kane ibolori e nyim Nyasachi, ema wechegi ne owinjie, kendo koro asebiro mondo akelni dwoko margi.
13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia resisted me, and I was kept there with the kings of Persia for twenty-one days. But Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me.
Makmana pinyruodh Pasia nogengʼona kuom ndalo piero ariyo gachiel. Eka bangʼe Mikael, ma en achiel kuom malaike madongo, nobiro mondo okonya, nikech ruodh Pasia ogengʼona.
14 Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the last days. For the vision is for days yet to come.”
Omiyo asebiro mondo alerni tiend gima biro timore ne jou, nimar fweny misenenono wuoyo kuom gik mabiro timore e ndalo mabiro.
15 While he was speaking to me using these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was unable to speak.
Kane oyudo owachona wachni ne akulo wiya piny, kendo dhoga nomoko.
16 One who was like the sons of man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and spoke to him who stood before me: “My master, I am in agony because of the vision; I have no strength left.
Eka ngʼat moro machalo dhano nomulo dhoga, mi nayawo dhoga kendo nachako wuoyo. Ne awachone ngʼama nochungʼ e nyima niya, “Ruodha, chandruok oromo chunya nikech fweny ma aseneno, kendo anyosora marumo.
17 I am your servant. How can I talk with my master? For I now have no strength, and there is no breath left in me.”
Ere kaka an, jatichni, dawuo kodi, in, ruodha? Tekra orumo kendo kata yweyo otama.”
18 Again the one with an appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.
Eka ngʼatno nochako omula kendo mi omiya teko.
19 He said, “Do not be afraid, man greatly treasured. May peace be to you! Be strong now, be strong!” While he was speaking to me, I was strengthened. I said, “Let my master speak, for you have strengthened me.”
Nowachona niya, “We luor, yaye in ngʼat ma Nyasaye ogeno ahinya. Bed gi kwe! Yud teko sani, bed motegno.” Ne ayudo teko e sa mane owuoyoe kodano, kendo nawacho niya, “Ruodha, wuo awuoya, nikech koro iseduogona teko.”
20 He said, “Do you know why I have come to you? I will soon return to fight against the prince of Persia. When I go, the prince of Greece will come.
Nowachona niya, “Bende ingʼeyo gimomiyo asebiro iri? Onego adogi ma ok adeko mondo aked gi ruodh Pasia, to ka asedhi, ruodh jo-Yunani biro biro;
21 But I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. There is no one who shows himself to be strong with me against them, except Michael your prince.”
to mokwongo, abiro nyisi gima ondiki e Kitabu mar Adiera. (Onge ngʼama osebedo ka konya kedo kod ruodhigo makmana Mikael malaika ma jarit piny.
