Danieli 10
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa ĩtatũ wa Kurusu mũthamaki wa Perisia, Danieli (na nĩwe watuĩtwo Beliteshazaru) nĩaguũrĩirio maũndũ. Ndũmĩrĩri ya ũguũrio ũcio yarĩ ya ma, na yakoniĩ ũhoro wa mbaara nene. Gũtaũkĩrwo kwa ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo guokire kũrĩ we na njĩra ya kĩoneki.
In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Baltasar; and the thing was true, and great power and understanding in the vision was given to him.
2 Ihinda-inĩ rĩu-rĩ, niĩ Danieli ndaakoretwo ngĩcakaya handũ ha ciumia ithatũ.
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 Nĩndehingĩte kũrĩa irio njega; kanua gakwa gatiacamire nyama kana ndibei; ningĩ ndiehakaga maguta o na hanini, o nginya ciumia icio ithatũ igĩthira.
I ate no pleasant bread, and no flesh or wine entered into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself with oil, until three whole weeks were accomplished.
4 Mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩna wa mweri wa mbere, ndũgamĩte hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia, rũũĩ rũrĩa rũnene rwa Tigirisi,
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was near the great river, which is Tigris Eddekel.
5 ngĩtiira maitho, na hau mbere yakwa ngĩona mũndũ wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani, na akehotora mũcibi wa thahabu ĩrĩa therie mũno.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girt with gold of Ophaz:
6 Mwĩrĩ wake watariĩ ta inagĩ rĩrĩa rĩĩtagwo thumarati, na ũthiũ wake wahenagia ta rũheni, maitho make maahaanaga ta imũrĩ cia mwaki, na moko make na magũrũ maahaanaga ta gĩcango gĩkumuthe gĩkahenia, naguo mũgambo wake watariĩ ta mũgambo wa andũ aingĩ.
and his body was as Tharsis, and his face was as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his legs as the appearance of shining brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.
7 Niĩ Danieli-rĩ, no niĩ nyiki ndonire kĩoneki kĩu; nĩgũkorwo andũ arĩa twarĩ nao matiakĩonire, no nĩmaiyũrirwo nĩ guoya, makĩũra magĩthiĩ kwĩhitha.
And I Daniel only saw the vision: and the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great amazement fell upon them, and they fled in fear.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩtigwo ndĩ o nyiki ndĩĩroreire kĩoneki kĩu kĩnene. Ngĩcooka ngĩthirwo nĩ hinya, ngĩthitia gĩthiithi ta ngũkua, na gũtirĩ ũndũ ingĩahotire gwĩka.
So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there was no strength left in me, and my glory was turned into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 Ngĩcooka ngĩigua akĩaria, na rĩrĩa ndamũthikagĩrĩria, ngĩnyiitwo nĩ toro mũnene, ngĩgwa ndurumithĩtie ũthiũ wakwa thĩ.
Yet I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard him I was pricked [in the heart], and [I fell with] my face to the earth.
10 Na rĩrĩ, ngĩhutio na guoko, gũkĩnjoya na igũrũ, gũkĩnjiga ndũrĩtie ndu ndĩnyiitĩrĩire thĩ na moko, ngĩinainaga.
And, behold, a hand touched me, and it raised me on my knees.
11 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Danieli, wee mũtĩĩe mũno, cũrania wega ciugo ici ngirie gũkwarĩria, na ũũkĩre na igũrũ, nĩgũkorwo rĩu nĩgũtũmwo ndatũmwo kũrĩ we.” Na aarĩkia kũnjĩĩra ũguo, ngĩrũgama o ngĩinainaga.
And he said to me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am now sent to thee. And when he had spoken to me this word, I stood trembling.
12 Agĩcooka agĩthiĩ na mbere akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Danieli, tiga gwĩtigĩra. Kuuma mũthenya wa mbere rĩrĩa wambĩrĩirie gũtuĩria ũhoro ũyũ na ũkĩĩnyiihia mbere ya Ngai waku-rĩ, ciugo ciaku nĩciaiguirwo, na rĩu ndoka nĩgeetha ngũhe ũhoro wacio.
And he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to afflict thyself before the Lord thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come because of thy words.
13 No rĩrĩ, mũnene wa ũthamaki wa Perisia nĩangirĩrĩirie mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩrĩo Mikaeli, ũmwe wa araika arĩa anene, okire kũndeithia, tondũ nĩndahingĩrĩirio kũu hamwe na mũthamaki wa Perisia.
But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians withstood me twenty-one days: and behold, Michael, one of the princes, came to help me; and I left him there with the chief of the kingdom of the Persians:
14 Rĩu ndoka ngũtaarĩrie maũndũ marĩa magaakora andũ anyu matukũ ma thuutha, tondũ kĩoneki kĩu gĩkoniĩ ihinda rĩrĩa rĩgooka.”
and I have come to inform thee of all that shall befall thy people in the last days: for the vision is yet for [many] days.
15 Na rĩrĩa aanjĩĩraga ũhoro ũcio, ngĩinamia ũthiũ thĩ, ngĩremwo nĩ kwaria.
And when he had spoken with me according to these words, I turned my face to the ground, and was pricked [in the heart].
16 Ningĩ ũngĩ wahaanaga ta mũndũ akĩhutia iromo ciakwa, ngĩtumũra kanua na ngĩambĩrĩria kwaria. Ngĩĩra ũcio warũngiĩ mbere yakwa atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, niĩ ndĩmũhoote nĩ ruo rũnene tondũ wa kĩoneki kĩu, na ndirĩ na ũndũ ingĩhota gwĩka.
And, behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O [my] lord, at the sight of thee my bowels were turned within me, and I had no strength.
17 Niĩ ndungata yaku-rĩ, ndaakĩhota atĩa kwaria nawe mwathi wakwa? Nĩgũkorwo nĩthirĩtwo nĩ hinya o na mĩhũmũ yakwa.”
And how shall thy servant be able, O [my] lord, to speak with this my lord? and as for me, from henceforth strength will not remain in me, and there is no breath left in me.
18 Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩigua ndaahutio rĩngĩ nĩ ũcio wahaanaga ta mũndũ, akĩnjĩkĩra hinya.
And there touched me again as it were the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
19 Akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, wee mũndũ ũyũ mũtĩĩe mũno, ũrogĩa na thayũ! Wĩyũmĩrĩrie; wĩĩkĩre hinya.” Na rĩrĩa aanjarĩirie ũguo, ngĩcookwo nĩ hinya, na niĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu mwathi wakwa aria tondũ nĩwanjĩkĩra hinya.”
and said to me, Fear not, man greatly beloved: peace be to thee, quit thyself like a man, and be strong. And when he had spoken with me, I received strength, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20 Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũũĩ kĩrĩa gĩtũmĩte njũke kũrĩ we? Nĩngũcooka o narua ngarũe na mũnene wa Perisia, na ndathiĩ-rĩ, nake mũnene wa Ũyunani nĩegũka;
And he said, Knowest thou, wherefore I am come to thee? and now I will return to fight with the prince of the Persians: and I was going in, and the prince of the Greeks came.
21 no nĩngwamba gũkwĩra ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ-rĩa-Ma. (Ndirĩ mũndũ ũndeithagia ngĩrũa nao tiga Mikaeli, mũnene wanyu.
But I will tell thee that which is ordained in the scripture of truth: and there is no one that holds with me in these matters but Michael your prince.
