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 year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel has seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then he has written the dream, the chief of the things he has said.
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 has answered and said, “I was seeing in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth to the Great Sea;
3 Naho hau hakiumĩra nyamũ inya ciarĩ nene kuuma iria-inĩ rĩu, na gũtirĩ yahanaga ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.
and four great beasts are coming up from the sea, diverse from one 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 [is] like a lion, and it has an eagle’s wings. I was seeing until its wings have been plucked, and it has been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it has been caused to stand, and a heart of man is given to it.
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 behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the same authority it has been raised, and three ribs [are] in its mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise, consume 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 was seeing, and behold, another like a leopard, and it has four wings of a bird on its back, and the beast has four heads, and dominion is given to it.
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 was seeing in the visions of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it has very great iron teeth, it has consumed, indeed, it breaks small, and it has trampled the remnant with its feet; and it [is] diverse from all the beasts that [are] before it; and it has ten horns.
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.
I was considering about the horns, and behold, another horn, a little one, has come up between them, and three of the first horns have been eradicated from before it, and behold, eyes as the eyes of man [are] in this horn, and a mouth speaking great 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 was seeing until thrones have been thrown down, and the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment [is] white as snow, and the hair of His head [is] as pure wool, His throne flames of fire, its wheels 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 flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before Him, one million serve Him and one hundred million rise up before Him, judgment has been set, and the scrolls have been 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.
I was seeing, then, because of the voice of the great words that the horn is speaking, I was seeing until the beast is slain, and his body has been destroyed, and given to the burning fire;
12 (Nyamũ icio ingĩ nĩciatuunyĩtwo ũhoti wacio wa gwathana, no nĩcietĩkĩrĩtio ciikarange muoyo kwa ihinda.)
and the rest of the beasts have caused their dominion to pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, until a season and a time.
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.
I was seeing in the visions of the night, and behold, [One] like a Son of Man was coming with the clouds of the heavens, and to the Ancient of Days He has come, and before Him they have brought Him near.
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 to Him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages serve Him, His dominion [is] a continuous dominion, that does not pass away, and His kingdom that which is not destroyed.
15 “Niĩ Danieli nĩndatangĩkire roho-inĩ, nacio cioneki iria ciahĩtũkĩire meciiria-inĩ makwa igĩĩthĩĩnia mũno.
My spirit has been pierced—I, Daniel—in the midst of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble me;
16 Ngĩkuhĩrĩria ũmwe wa acio maarũngiĩ hau, ngĩmũũria andaarĩrie ma ya ũhoro ũcio wothe. “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩndaũrĩra maũndũ macio mothe, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ:
I have drawn near to one of those standing, and the certainty I seek from him of all this; and he has spoken to me, indeed, the interpretation of the things he has caused me to know:
17 ‘Nyamũ icio inya nene nĩ mothamaki mana marĩa makaarahũka gũkũ thĩ.
These great beasts, that [are] four, [are] four kings, they rise up from 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 the saints of the Most High receive the kingdom, and they strengthen the kingdom for all time, even for all time and all ages.
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.
Then I wished for certainty concerning the fourth beast, that was diverse from them all, exceedingly fearful; its teeth of iron, and its nails of bronze, it has devoured, it breaks small, and it has trampled the remnant with its feet;
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.
and concerning the ten horns that [are] in its heads, and of the other that came up, and before which three have fallen, even of that horn that has eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose appearance [is] great above its companions.
21 O njũũthĩrĩirie-rĩ, rũhĩa rũu rũgĩtharĩkĩra andũ arĩa atheru, rũkĩrũa nao na rũkĩmahoota,
I was seeing, and this horn is making war with the saints, and has prevailed over 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.
until the Ancient of Days has come, and judgment is given to the saints of the Most High, and the time has come, and the saints have strengthened the kingdom.
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.
Thus he said: The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom in the earth, that is diverse from all kingdoms, and it consumes all the earth, and treads it down, and breaks it small.
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 horns out of the kingdom [are] ten kings, they rise, and another rises after them, and it is diverse from the former, and it humbles 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 it speaks words as an adversary of the Most High, and it wears out the saints of the Most High, and it hopes to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand, until a time, and times, and a division of a time.
26 “‘No igooti nĩrĩgaikara thĩ rĩciirithanie, na thuutha wa ũguo acooke atunywo wathani wake, na wanangwo biũ nginya tene.
And judgment is set, and they cause his dominion to pass away, to perish, and to be destroyed—to the end;
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 kingdom, and the dominion, even the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people—the saints of the Most High, His kingdom [is] a continuous kingdom, and all dominions serve 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.”
Here [is] the end of the matter. I, Daniel, [am] greatly troubled [by] my thoughts, and my countenance is changed on me, and I have kept the matter in my heart.”
