Danieli 7
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mbere wa Belishazaru mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Babuloni, Danieli nĩarootire kĩroto, na akĩona cioneki meciiria-inĩ make akomete ũrĩrĩ-inĩ wake. Nake akĩandĩka ũhoro wa kĩroto kĩu.
In the first yeere of Belshazzar King of Babel, Daniel sawe a dreame, and there were visions in his head, vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and declared the summe of the matter.
2 Danieli akiuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ Danieli-rĩ, ũtukũ nĩndonire kĩoneki, na hau mbere yakwa ngĩona huho inya cia igũrũ ikĩhurutanĩra igũrũ wa iria rĩrĩa inene.
Daniel spake and saide, I sawe in my vision by night, and behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great sea:
3 Naho hau hakiumĩra nyamũ inya ciarĩ nene kuuma iria-inĩ rĩu, na gũtirĩ yahanaga ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.
And foure great beastes came vp from the sea one diuers from another.
4 “Nyamũ ya mbere yahaanaga ta mũrũũthi, na yarĩ na mathagu ta ma ndiiyũ. Ngĩikara ndorete nginya rĩrĩa njoya ciayo ciamunyirwo, nayo ĩgĩcooka ĩkĩoywo na igũrũ ĩkĩrũgamio na magũrũ mayo meerĩ ta mũndũ, na ĩkĩheo ngoro ta ya mũndũ.
The first was as a lyon, and had eagles wings: I beheld, til the wings thereof were pluckt of, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and set vpon his feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen him.
5 “Na hau mbere yakwa nĩ haarĩ na nyamũ ĩngĩ ya keerĩ, nayo yahaanaga ta nduba. Nayo nyamũ ĩyo nĩyambararĩtie mwena ũmwe wayo, na ĩkarũma mbaru ithatũ na kanua gatagatĩ ka magego mayo. Nayo ĩkĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkĩra ũrĩe nyama nginya ũiganie!’
And beholde, another beast which was the second, was like a beare and stood vpon the one side: and hee had three ribbes in his mouth betweene his teeth, and they saide thus vnto him, Arise and deuoure much flesh.
6 “Thuutha ũcio ngĩrora na ngĩona hau mbere yakwa nyamũ ĩngĩ, nayo yahaanaga ta ngarĩ. Mũgongo-inĩ wayo yarĩ na mathagu mana maahaanaga ta ma nyoni. Nyamũ ĩyo yarĩ na mĩtwe ĩna, na nĩyahetwo ũhoti wa gwathana.
After this I behelde, and loe, there was an other like a leopard, which had vpon his backe foure wings of a foule: the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen him.
7 “Thuutha ũcio niĩ Danieli-rĩ, ũtukũ nĩndonire kĩoneki, na hau mbere yakwa ngĩona nyamũ ya kana, nayo yarĩ ya kũmakania na ya gũtua mũndũ nda, na nĩ yarĩ na hinya mũno. Nyamũ ĩyo yarĩ na magego manene ma kĩgera; na yahehenjaga na ĩgatambuura kĩrĩa yooraga, na kĩrĩa gĩatigara ĩkarangĩrĩria na magũrũ. Yarĩ na ngũũrani na nyamũ icio ingĩ cionekete mbere yayo, na yarĩ na hĩa ikũmi.
After this I saw in the visions by night, and beholde, the fourth beast was fearefull and terrible and very strong. It had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue vnder his feete: and it was vnlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten hornes.
8 “Rĩrĩa ndeciiragia ũhoro wa hĩa icio-rĩ, ngĩona hau mbere yakwa harĩ na rũhĩa rũngĩ, na rwarĩ rũnini, rũkĩmera gatagatĩ ka icio ingĩ; nacio hĩa ithatũ cia iria ciarĩ cia mbere ikĩmunyũka biũ, ikĩrweherera. Naruo rũhĩa rũu rwarĩ na maitho ta ma mũndũ na kanua kaaragia ndeto cia mwĩtĩĩo.
As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another litle horne, before whome there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things.
9 “O ndorete ngĩona, “itĩ cia ũnene ikĩigwo handũ ha cio, nake Ũrĩa-Ũtũire-ho-kuuma-o-Tene agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake. Nacio nguo ciake cierũhĩte ta ira; na njuĩrĩ cia mũtwe wake ikerũha ta guoya wa ngʼondu. Gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene kĩarĩrĩmbũkaga nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki, namo magũrũ makĩo maarĩ ma mwaki ũgwakana.
I behelde, till the thrones were set vp, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the heare of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire.
10 Rũũĩ rwa mwaki nĩ rwathereraga ruumĩte hau mbere yake. Nake agatungatĩrwo nĩ ndungata ngiri maita ngiri; na andũ ngiri ikũmi maita ngiri ikũmi makarũgama mbere yake. Igooti rĩgĩikara thĩ rĩciirithanie, namo mabuku makĩhingũrwo.
A fierie streame yssued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and tenne thousand thousands stoode before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes opened.
11 “Ningĩ ngĩthiĩ na mbere gũcũthĩrĩria nĩ ũndũ wa ciugo cia mwĩgaatho iria rũhĩa rũu rwaragia. Ngĩikara ndorete nginya nyamũ ĩyo ĩkĩũragwo, na mwĩrĩ wayo ũkĩanangwo na ũgĩikio thĩinĩ wa mwaki ũcio wakanaga.
Then I behelde, because of the voyce of the presumptuous wordes, which the horne spake: I behelde, euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning fire.
12 (Nyamũ icio ingĩ nĩciatuunyĩtwo ũhoti wacio wa gwathana, no nĩcietĩkĩrĩtio ciikarange muoyo kwa ihinda.)
As concerning the other beastes, they had taken away their dominion: yet their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season.
13 “Ningĩ-rĩ, ũtukũ nĩndonire kĩoneki, ngĩona hau mbere yakwa harĩ na mũndũ wahaanaga ta mũrũ wa mũndũ, agĩũka arĩ igũrũ rĩa matu. Nake agĩkuhĩrĩria Ũcio-Ũtũire-ho-kuuma-o-Tene na agĩtwarwo harĩa aarĩ.
As I behelde in visions by night, behold, one like the sonne of man came in the cloudes of heauen, and approched vnto the Ancient of dayes, and they brought him before him.
14 Nake akĩheo wathani, na riiri, na hinya wa gwathana; nacio iruka ciothe, na ndũrĩrĩ, na andũ a mĩario yothe makĩmũhooya. Wathani wake nĩ wathani wa gũtũũra tene na tene, na ndũgaathira, naguo ũthamaki wake ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũkaanangwo.
And he gaue him dominion, and honour, and a kingdome, that all people, nations and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall neuer bee taken away: and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed.
15 “Niĩ Danieli nĩndatangĩkire roho-inĩ, nacio cioneki iria ciahĩtũkĩire meciiria-inĩ makwa igĩĩthĩĩnia mũno.
I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the middes of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraide.
16 Ngĩkuhĩrĩria ũmwe wa acio maarũngiĩ hau, ngĩmũũria andaarĩrie ma ya ũhoro ũcio wothe. “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩndaũrĩra maũndũ macio mothe, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ:
Therefore I came vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth of all this: so he tolde me, and shewed me the interpretation of these things.
17 ‘Nyamũ icio inya nene nĩ mothamaki mana marĩa makaarahũka gũkũ thĩ.
These great beastes which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth,
18 No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa atheru a Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩo makaamũkĩra ũthamaki na matũũre naguo nginya tene, ĩĩ, ti-itherũ, matũũre naguo nginya tene na tene.’
And they shall take the kingdome of the Saintes of the most High, and possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer.
19 “Ningĩ ngĩenda kũmenya gĩtũmi kĩa nyamũ ĩyo ya kana ĩrĩa yarĩ na ngũũrani na icio ingĩ na yarĩ ya kũmakania mũno, ĩrĩ na magego mayo ma kĩgera na ndwara cia gĩcango, nyamũ ĩyo yahehenjaga na ĩgatambuuranga kĩrĩa yooraga, na ĩkarangĩrĩria na magũrũ kĩrĩa gĩatigara.
After this, I woulde knowe the trueth of the fourth beast, which was so vnlike to all the others, very fearefull, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse: which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue vnder his feete.
20 O na ningĩ ngĩenda kũmenya ũhoro wa hĩa icio ikũmi ciarĩ mũtwe wayo na wa rũhĩa rũu rũngĩ rwacookire kũmera, o na wa hĩa icio ithatũ ciamunyũkire rũu rũngĩ rwamera, menye ũhoro wa rũhĩa rũu ruonagwo ta rwarĩ rũnene gũkĩra icio ingĩ, na rwarĩ na maitho na kanua kaaragia ndeto cia mwĩgaatho.
Also to know of the tenne hornes that were in his head, and of the other which came vp, before whome three fell, and of the horne that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, whose looke was more stoute then his fellowes.
21 O njũũthĩrĩirie-rĩ, rũhĩa rũu rũgĩtharĩkĩra andũ arĩa atheru, rũkĩrũa nao na rũkĩmahoota,
I beheld, and the same horne made battel against the Saintes, yea, and preuailed against them,
22 o nginya rĩrĩa Ũcio-Ũtũire-ho-kuuma-o-Tene ookire na agĩtuĩra andũ acio atheru a Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno ciira wa kĩhooto, narĩo ihinda rĩgĩkinya makĩĩgwatĩra ũthamaki.
Vntill the Ancient of dayes came, and iudgement was giuen to the Saintes of the most High: and the time approched, that the Saintes possessed the kingdome.
23 “Ningĩ akĩndaarĩria akĩnjiguithia atĩrĩ: ‘Nyamũ ĩyo ya kana nĩ ũthamaki wa kana ũrĩa ũkaagĩa gũkũ thĩ. Ũgaakorwo ũrĩ na ngũũrani na mothamaki marĩa mangĩ mothe, na nĩũkaniina thĩ yothe, ũmĩrangĩrĩrie na ũmĩhehenje.
Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdome in the earth, which shall be vnlike to all the kingdomes, and shall deuoure the whole earth, and shall treade it downe and breake it in pieces.
24 Nacio hĩa icio ikũmi nĩ athamaki ikũmi arĩa makoima thĩinĩ wa ũthamaki ũcio. Na thuutha wao mũthamaki ũngĩ nĩakarahũka, ũrĩ na ngũũrani na arĩa angĩ maarĩ mbere yake; na nĩagatooria athamaki acio atatũ.
And the ten hornes out of this kingdome are tenne Kings that shall rise: and an other shall rise after them, and he shall be vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three Kings,
25 Nĩakaaria ndeto cia gũcambia Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, na ahinyĩrĩrie andũ ake arĩa atheru, o na agerie kũgarũra mahinda na mawatho marĩa matue. Nao andũ arĩa atheru nĩmakaneanwo moko-inĩ make kwa ihinda rĩmwe, na mahinda meerĩ, na nuthu ya ihinda.
And shall speake wordes against the most High, and shall consume the Saintes of the most High, and thinke that he may change times and lawes, and they shalbe giuen into his hand, vntill a time, and times and the deuiding of time.
26 “‘No igooti nĩrĩgaikara thĩ rĩciirithanie, na thuutha wa ũguo acooke atunywo wathani wake, na wanangwo biũ nginya tene.
But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende.
27 Ningĩ wathani, na ũhoti, na ũnene wa mothamaki marĩa marĩ gũkũ thĩ guothe cinengerwo andũ arĩa atheru, andũ a Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno. Ũthamaki wake nĩ ũthamaki wa gũtũũra nginya tene na tene, nao aathani othe nĩmakamũhooyaga na mamwathĩkagĩre.’
And the kingdome, and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen shalbe giue to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and all powers shall serue and obey him.
28 “Ũhoro ũcio ũgĩthirĩra hau. Niĩ Danieli-rĩ, nĩndatangĩkire mũno meciiria-inĩ makwa, na ngĩtukia gĩthiithi, no ngĩikara ngĩĩcũũranagia ũhoro ũcio ngoro-inĩ yakwa.”
Euen this is the ende of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled mee, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart.
