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 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.
2 Ihinda-inĩ rĩu-rĩ, niĩ Danieli ndaakoretwo ngĩcakaya handũ ha ciumia ithatũ.
At the same time I Daniel was in heauines for three weekes of dayes.
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, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint my selfe at all, till three weekes of dayes were fulfilled.
4 Mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩna wa mweri wa mbere, ndũgamĩte hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia, rũũĩ rũrĩa rũnene rwa Tigirisi,
And in the foure and twentieth day of the first moneth, as I was by the side of that great riuer, euen Hiddekel,
5 ngĩtiira maitho, na hau mbere yakwa ngĩona mũndũ wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani, na akehotora mũcibi wa thahabu ĩrĩa therie mũno.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
9 Ngĩcooka ngĩigua akĩaria, na rĩrĩa ndamũthikagĩrĩria, ngĩnyiitwo nĩ toro mũnene, ngĩgwa ndurumithĩtie ũthiũ wakwa thĩ.
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.
10 Na rĩrĩ, ngĩhutio na guoko, gũkĩnjoya na igũrũ, gũkĩnjiga ndũrĩtie ndu ndĩnyiitĩrĩire thĩ na moko, ngĩinainaga.
And behold, an hand touched me, which set me vp vpon my knees and vpon the palmes of mine hands.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
14 Rĩu ndoka ngũtaarĩrie maũndũ marĩa magaakora andũ anyu matukũ ma thuutha, tondũ kĩoneki kĩu gĩkoniĩ ihinda rĩrĩa rĩgooka.”
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.
15 Na rĩrĩa aanjĩĩraga ũhoro ũcio, ngĩinamia ũthiũ thĩ, ngĩremwo nĩ kwaria.
And when he spake these wordes vnto me, I set my face towarde the grounde, and helde my tongue.
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 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.
17 Niĩ ndungata yaku-rĩ, ndaakĩhota atĩa kwaria nawe mwathi wakwa? Nĩgũkorwo nĩthirĩtwo nĩ hinya o na mĩhũmũ yakwa.”
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.
18 Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩigua ndaahutio rĩngĩ nĩ ũcio wahaanaga ta mũndũ, akĩnjĩkĩra hinya.
Then there came againe, and touched me one like 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, 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.
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;
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.
21 no nĩngwamba gũkwĩra ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ-rĩa-Ma. (Ndirĩ mũndũ ũndeithagia ngĩrũa nao tiga Mikaeli, mũnene wanyu.
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.
