Danieli 8
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa gatatũ wa wathani wa Mũthamaki Belishazaru-rĩ, niĩ Danieli nĩndonire kĩoneki kĩngĩ, thuutha wa kĩrĩa ndoonete mbere.
In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar a vision appeared to me, [even] to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 Kĩoneki-inĩ kĩu gĩakwa ndeyonire ndĩ itũũra-inĩ igitĩre rĩa Shushani bũrũri-inĩ wa Elamu; kĩoneki-inĩ kĩu ndeyonire ndĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Ulai.
And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Ælam, and I was on the [bank of] Ubal.
3 Na rĩrĩ, ngĩcũthĩrĩria, na hau mbere yakwa ngĩona ndũrũme ĩrũngiĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia rũũĩ, na yarĩ na hĩa igĩrĩ, nacio ciarĩ ndaaya. Rũhĩa rũmwe rwarĩ rũraihu gũkĩra rũrĩa rũngĩ, o na gũtuĩka nĩruo rwamerete thuutha.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a ram standing in front of the Ubal; and he had high horns; and one was higher than the other, and the high one came up last.
4 Ngĩcooka ngĩona ndũrũme ĩyo yaguthũka ĩrorete mwena wa ithũĩro na wa gathigathini na wa gũthini, no gũtirĩ nyamũ o na ĩmwe ĩngĩahotire kũmĩĩtiiria, na gũtirĩ ĩngĩahotire kwĩhonokia kuuma harĩ hinya wayo. Yekaga o ta ũrĩa ĩngĩendire gwĩka, nayo ĩkĩgĩa na hinya mũno.
And I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was none that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great.
5 Na rĩrĩa ndacũũranagia ũhoro ũcio, o rĩmwe hagĩũka thenge yumĩte mwena wa ithũĩro, ĩtuĩkanĩirie thĩ yothe ĩtekũhutia thĩ, nayo thenge ĩyo yarĩ na rũhĩa rũmwe rũnene thiithi-inĩ.
And I was considering, and, behold, a he-goat came from the south-west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the earth: and the goat [had] a horn between his eyes.
6 Ĩgĩũka yerekeire harĩ ndũrũme ĩrĩa yarĩ na hĩa igĩrĩ, ĩyo ndoonete ĩrũngiĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia rũũĩ, ĩkĩmĩguthũkĩra ĩrĩ na mangʼũrĩ manene.
And he came to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing in front of the Ubal, and he ran at him with the violence of his strength.
7 Ngĩona yatharĩkĩra ndũrũme ĩyo ĩrakarĩte mũno, ĩkĩringa ndũrũme ĩyo na ĩkiunanga hĩa ciayo cierĩ. Nayo ndũrũme ĩyo ndĩarĩ na hinya wa kũmĩĩtiiria, nĩ ũndũ ũcio thenge ĩyo ĩkĩmĩgũtha, ĩkĩmĩgũithia thĩ na ĩkĩmĩrangĩrĩria, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩahotire kũhonokia ndũrũme ĩyo kuuma harĩ hinya wa thenge ĩyo.
And I saw him coming up close to the ram, and he was furiously enraged against him, and he smote the ram, and broke both his horns: and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him on the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Thenge ĩyo ĩkĩgĩa na hinya mũno, no rĩrĩa hinya wayo waingĩhire mũno-rĩ, rũhĩa rũu rwayo rũnene rũkiunĩka, na ithenya rĩaruo hakĩmera hĩa ingĩ inya nene, irorete mĩena ĩna ĩrĩa huho iria cia igũrũ ihurutanaga.
And the he-goat grew exceedingly great: and when he was strong, his great horn was broken; and four other [horns] rose up in its place toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Na rĩrĩ, rũmwe rwacio rũkĩmerererwo nĩ rũhĩa rũngĩ, rũrĩa rwambĩrĩirie rũrĩ rũnini, no rũgĩkũra rũkĩgĩa na hinya rwerekeire mwena wa gũthini, na wa irathĩro, na wa Bũrũri ũrĩa Mũthaka.
And out of one of them came forth one strong horn, and it grew very great toward the south, and toward the host:
10 Rũkĩraiha nginya rũgĩkinyĩra mbũtũ cia igũrũ, na rũkĩrutũrũra mbũtũ imwe rũgĩcigũithia thĩ na rũgĩcirangĩrĩria.
and it magnified itself to the host of heaven; and there fell to the earth [some] of the host of heaven and of the stars, and they trampled on them.
11 Rũgĩĩtũũgĩria rũnenehe rũiganane na Mũtongoria wa mbũtũ icio cia igũrũ; rũkĩeheria magongona marĩa maacinagwo o mũthenya kuuma harĩ we, nakĩo gĩikaro gĩake kĩrĩa kĩamũre gĩkĩngʼaũranio.
And [this shall be] until the chief captain shall have delivered the captivity: and by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed, and he prospered; and the holy place shall be made desolate.
12 Nĩ ũndũ wa ũremi, mbũtũ cia andũ arĩa atheru na magongona ma o mũthenya makĩneanwo harĩ ruo. Rũkĩgaacĩra maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa rwekire, naguo ũhoro wa ma ũgĩteanĩrio.
And a sin-offering was given for the sacrifice, and righteousness was cast down to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩigua ũmwe wa andũ arĩa atheru akĩaria, nake ũngĩ mũtheru akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kĩoneki gĩkĩ-rĩ, gĩgũikara ihinda rĩigana atĩa gĩgĩkahingio: kĩoneki kĩu gĩkoniĩ magongona ma o mũthenya, na ũremi ũcio wa kũrehe ihooru, na kũneanwo gwa gĩikaro kĩrĩa gĩtheru, na kũrangĩrĩrio thĩ kwa mbũtũ?”
And I heard one saint speaking, and a saint said to a certain one speaking, How long shall the vision continue, [even] the removal of the sacrifice, and the bringing in of the sin of desolation; and [how long] shall the sanctuary and host be trampled?
14 Nake akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ: “Ũhoro ũcio ũgũikara matukũ 2,300; na thuutha ũcio gĩikaro kĩu gĩtheru nĩgĩkaamũrwo rĩngĩ.”
And he said to him, Evening and morning [there shall be] two thousand and four hundred days; and [then] the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
15 Rĩrĩa niĩ Danieli nderoragĩra kĩoneki kĩu o ngĩgeragia kũmenya gĩtũmi gĩakĩo-rĩ, hau mbere yakwa hakĩrũgama ũmwe wahaanaga ta mũndũ.
And it came to pass, as I, [even] I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought to understand it, that, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 Na ngĩigua mũgambo wa mũndũ ũgĩĩtana kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Ulai, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Gaburieli, ta taũrĩra mũndũ ũyũ gĩtũmi gĩa kĩoneki kĩu onete.”
And I heard the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ubal; and he called, and said, Gabriel, cause that man to understand the vision.
17 Na rĩrĩa aakuhĩrĩirie harĩa ndarũgamĩte, ngĩtuĩka nda, ngĩgwa ngĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ. Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ: “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩ wega ũmenye atĩ kĩoneki kĩu gĩkoniĩ mahinda ma ithirĩro.”
And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he came, I was struck with awe, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man: for yet the vision is for an appointed time.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo aanjaragĩria-rĩ, ndaarĩ toro mũnene, ngakoma ndurumithĩtie ũthiũ thĩ. Nake akĩĩhutia na akĩnjũkĩria, akĩndũgamia na igũrũ.
And while he spoke with me, I fell upon my face to the earth: and he touched me, and set me on my feet.
19 Akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũkwĩra ũrĩa gũkaahaana thuutha-inĩ hĩndĩ ya mangʼũrĩ, tondũ rĩrĩ, kĩoneki gĩkĩ gĩkoniĩ mahinda marĩa maathĩrĩirio ma ithirĩro.
And he said, Behold, I make thee know the things that shall come to pass at the end of the wrath: for the vision [is] yet for an appointed time.
20 Ndũrũme ĩyo wonire ĩrĩ na hĩa igĩrĩ, hĩa icio irũgamĩrĩire athamaki a Media na Perisia.
The ram which thou sawest that had the horns is the king of the Medes and Persians.
21 Nayo thenge ĩyo ĩrĩ na maguoya maingĩ mwĩrĩ nĩo mũthamaki wa Ũyunani, na rũhĩa rũu rũnene rũrĩ thiithi nĩruo mũthamaki wakuo wa mbere.
The he-goat is the king of the Greeks: and the great horn which was between his eyes, he is the first king.
22 Hĩa icio inya ciamerire ithenya rĩa rũhĩa rũu ruoinĩkire irũgamĩrĩire mothamaki mana marĩa makoima thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wake, no matigaakorwo marĩ na ũhoti ta wake.
And [as for] the one that was broken, in whose place there stood up four horns, four kings shall arise out of his nation, but not in their [own] strength.
23 “Ningĩ mahinda ma kũrigĩrĩria ma ũthamaki wao, rĩrĩa andũ aremi magaakorwo maaganĩte biũ, nĩgũkarahũka mũthamaki ũngĩ ũtarĩ tha, mũndũ mwara na mũũgĩ na maũndũ ma ungumania.
And at the latter time of their kingdom, when their sins are coming to the full, there shall arise a king bold in countenance, and understanding riddles.
24 Nĩakagĩa na hinya mũno, no ti ũndũ wa ũhoti wake mwene. Nĩakarehithia mwanangĩko wa kũmakania, ningĩ nĩakagaacĩra ũndũ-inĩ wothe ageeka. Nĩakaniina andũ arĩa marĩ hinya na andũ arĩa a Ngai.
And his power [shall be] great, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and prosper, and practise, and shall destroy mighty men, and the holy people.
25 Nĩagatũma maũndũ ma maheeni magaacĩre, na nĩakeyona arĩ mũnene gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ. Rĩrĩa makaigua ta kũrĩ thayũ nĩguo nake akooragithia andũ aingĩ, o na okĩrĩre Mũnene wa anene. No rĩrĩ, nĩakanangwo, no ti hinya wa mũndũ ũkaamwananga.
And the yoke of his chain shall prosper: [there is] craft in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by craft shall destroy many, and he shall stand up for the destruction of many, and shall crush them as eggs in his hand.
26 “Kĩoneki kĩu wonirio kĩa mahwaĩ-inĩ na ma rũciinĩ-rĩ, nĩ kĩa ma, no rĩrĩ, hingĩrĩria ũhoro wa kĩoneki kĩu tondũ gĩkoniĩ mahinda marĩ kũraya gĩgĩkahingio.”
And the vision of the evening and morning that was mentioned is true: and do thou seal the vision; for [it is] for many days.
27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, niĩ Danieli ngĩthirwo nĩ hinya, na ngĩikara ndĩ mũrũaru mĩthenya mĩingĩ. Ngĩcooka ngĩũkĩra, na ngĩthiĩ na mbere kũruta wĩra wa mũthamaki. Nĩndainainirio nĩ kĩoneki kĩu, tondũ ndiahotire gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũhoro wakĩo.
And I Daniel fell asleep, and was sick: then I arose, and did the king’s business; and I wondered at the vision, and there was none that understood [it].
