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 Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me. After that which I had seen in the beginning, I, Daniel,
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.
saw in my vision, that I was in the capital city of Susa, which is in the region of Elam, yet I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.
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 my eyes and saw, and behold, a single ram stood before the marsh, having two high horns, and one was higher than the other and growing higher still.
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.
After this, I saw the ram brandishing his horns against the West, and against the North, and against the Meridian, and all the beasts could not withstand him, nor be freed from his hand, and he did according to his own will, and he 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 understood, and behold, a he-goat among she-goats came from the West above the face of the entire earth, and he did not touch the ground. Furthermore, the he-goat had a preeminent 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 went all the way to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force 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 when he approached near to the ram, he was enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him, and when he had cast him down on the ground, he trampled him, and no one was able to free the ram from 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.
But the he-goat among she-goats became exceedingly great, and when he had prospered, the great horn was shattered, and four horns were rising up beneath it by means of 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.
But from one of them came forth one little horn, and it became great against the Meridian, and against the East, and against the strength.
10 Rũkĩraiha nginya rũgĩkinyĩra mbũtũ cia igũrũ, na rũkĩrutũrũra mbũtũ imwe rũgĩcigũithia thĩ na rũgĩcirangĩrĩria.
And it was magnified even towards the strength of heaven, and it threw down those of the strength and of the stars, and it trampled 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 it was magnified, even to the leader of the strength, and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.
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 the advantage was given to him against the continual sacrifice, because of the sins, and truth will be struck down to the ground, and he will act, and he will prosper.
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 of the holy ones speaking, and one saint said to another, (I know not to whom he was speaking, ) “What is the extent of the vision, and the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation, which has happened, and of the sanctuary and the strength, which will 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, “From evening until morning, two thousand three hundred days, and so the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
15 Rĩrĩa niĩ Danieli nderoragĩra kĩoneki kĩu o ngĩgeragia kũmenya gĩtũmi gĩakĩo-rĩ, hau mbere yakwa hakĩrũgama ũmwe wahaanaga ta mũndũ.
But it came to pass, when I, Daniel, saw the vision and sought understanding that, behold, there stood in my sight something like 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 within Ulai, and he called out and said, “Gabriel, make this one 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 next to where I was standing, and when he approached, I fell on my face, trembling, and he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for in the time of the end the vision will be fulfilled.”
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo aanjaragĩria-rĩ, ndaarĩ toro mũnene, ngakoma ndurumithĩtie ũthiũ thĩ. Nake akĩĩhutia na akĩnjũkĩria, akĩndũgamia na igũrũ.
And when he spoke to me, I fell forward onto the ground, and so he touched me and stood me upright.
19 Akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũkwĩra ũrĩa gũkaahaana thuutha-inĩ hĩndĩ ya mangʼũrĩ, tondũ rĩrĩ, kĩoneki gĩkĩ gĩkoniĩ mahinda marĩa maathĩrĩirio ma ithirĩro.
And he said to me, “I will reveal to you what the future things are in the earlier tribulation, for the time has its end.
20 Ndũrũme ĩyo wonire ĩrĩ na hĩa igĩrĩ, hĩa icio irũgamĩrĩire athamaki a Media na Perisia.
The ram, which you saw to have 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.
Furthermore, the he-goat among she-goats is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn, which was between his eyes, is the same one, 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 since, having been shattered, there grew four in its place, four kings will rise up from his people, but not in his 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 after their reign, when iniquities will be increased, there will arise a king of shameless face and understanding negotiations.
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 advantage will be strengthened, but not by his kind of force, and other than what he will be able to trust, everything will be eradicated, and he will prosper, and he will act. And he will execute the successful and the people of the saints,
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.
according to his will, and treachery will be guided by his hand. And his heart will be inflated, and by the abundance of everything he will kill many, and he will rise up against the Lord of lords, and he will be knocked down without a 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 the morning, which was told, is true. Therefore, you must seal the vision, because, after many days, it will occur.”
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, languished and was sick for some days, and when I had lifted myself up, I performed the king’s works, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none who could interpret it.
