Daniel 10
1 Nʼafọ atọ nke ọchịchị Sairọs eze Peshịa, e nyere Daniel (onye aha ya bụkwa Belteshaza mkpughe). Ozi ahụ bụ eziokwu, ọ gbasakwara oke ọgbaaghara. Ọ ghọtara ozi ahụ, nwetakwa nkọwa banyere ọhụ ahụ.
In the third year of Koresh king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true: a great war. And he understood the word, and had understanding of the vision.
2 Nʼoge ahụ, mụ onwe m, bụ Daniel, ruru ụjụ izu ụka atọ.
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks.
3 Erighị m nri ọma ọbụla, erikwaghị m anụ, aṅụkwaghị m mmanya, eteghị m mmanụ otite ọbụla nʼahụ m nʼime izu ụka atọ a niile.
I had no pleasing food, neither meat nor wine came into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 Nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ na anọ nke ọnwa mbụ nʼafọ, eguzo m nʼakụkụ osimiri ukwu ahụ, bụ Taịgris,
In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is the Tigris,
5 eleliri m anya m elu, hụ nʼihu m otu nwoke yi uwe akwa ọcha, onye e kekwasịrị belịt e ji ọlaedo sitere Ụfaz mee nʼukwu ya.
I lifted up my eyes and looked, and look, a man clothed in linen, around his waist a belt made of pure gold from Uphaz.
6 Ahụ ya na-egbukwa maramara dịka nkume beril, ìhè si nʼihu ya dị ka ìhè nke amụma eluigwe. Mkpụrụ anya ya na-enwukwa dịka ire ọkụ. Ụkwụ ya na aka ya na-acha dịka bronz e hichara nke ọma. Okwu si ya nʼọnụ na-ada ụda dịka ụzụ nke ọtụtụ mmadụ.
His body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.
7 Ọ bụ naanị m Daniel hụrụ ọhụ a. Ndị mụ na ha nọ ahụghị ya, kama na mberede, e mere ka oke egwu tụọ ha, nke mere ka ha gbara ọsọ gaa zoo onwe ha.
I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great trembling fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
8 Ọ bụkwa naanị m nọ, mgbe m hụrụ oke ọhụ a. Mgbe m hụkwara ya, ike niile dị m nʼahụ si m nʼahụ pụọ. Ihu m gbanwere nke ukwuu, ike afọdụkwaghị m nʼahụ.
So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my natural appearance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
9 Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m ụda olu ya, ma mgbe m nụrụ ụda olu ya, adara m nʼala kpudo ihu nʼala nʼọnọdụ ịda nʼoke ụra.
Yet I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 Ma otu aka metụrụ m, welite m mee ka m maa jijiji nʼelu ikpere m na aka m abụọ.
Look, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
11 Ọ sịrị m, “Daniel, gị onye a hụrụ nʼanya nke ukwuu. Gee ntị tuleekwa nke ọma okwu niile m na-agwa gị ugbu a. Guzo nʼụkwụ gị abụọ, nʼihi na e zitere m ịbịakwute gị.” Mgbe ọ na-agwa m okwu a, eguzooro m ọtọ, na-ama jijiji.
He said to me, "Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 Ọ sịrị m, “Egwu atụla gị, Daniel. Nʼihi na site nʼụbọchị mbụ i kpebiri inwe nghọta na iweda onwe gị ala nʼihu Chineke gị, ka a nụrụ okwu gị niile, a bịakwara m nʼihi ọsịsa ha.
Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your words.
13 Ma onyeisi ndị na-achị alaeze Peshịa gbochiri m, kemgbe iri ụbọchị abụọ na otu. Ya mere, Maikel, otu nʼime ndịisi ọchịchị bịara nyere m aka, nʼihi na mụ onwe m fọdụrụ nʼebe ahụ mụ na eze Peshịa.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was left there with the kings of Persia.
14 Ugbu a, abịala m ime ka ị ghọta ihe ga-adakwasị ndị gị nʼoge ikpeazụ nʼụbọchị dị nʼihu. Nʼihi na ọhụ ndị a dịrị oge ndị na-abịa nʼihu.”
Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision refers to future days."
15 Mgbe ọ na-agwa m okwu ndị a, ekpunyere m ihu m nʼala enwekwaghị m ike ikwu okwu ọbụla.
And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground, and could not speak.
16 Mgbe ahụ, otu onye, nke yiri mmadụ, bịara metụ egbugbere ọnụ m aka, mee ka m nwee ike ikwukwa okwu ọzọ. Mgbe ahụ agwara m onye ahụ nke guzo m nʼihu, “Anọ m nʼoke ihe mgbu; Onyenwe m, enwekwaghị m ike ọbụla, nʼihi ọhụ m hụrụ.
And look, something like a man's hand touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, "My lord, it is because of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have no strength.
17 Olee otu mụ bụ ohu gị ga-esi gwa gị okwu, Onyenwe m? Nʼihi na ike adịghịkwa nʼime m, enwekwaghị m ike iku ume.”
For how can this servant of my lord talk with my lord? As for me, no strength remains, and I am breathless."
18 Mgbe ahụ, otu onye yiri mmadụ bịara metụkwa m aka ọzọ nye m ike.
Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again and strengthened me.
19 Ọ sịrị, “Onye a hụrụ nʼanya nke ukwu, atụkwala ụjọ, udo dịrị gị, ya mere dịrị ike, obi sie gị ike.” Mgbe ọ gwara m okwu a, ike m lọghachitere, asịrị m, “Ka onyenwe m kwuo okwu, ebe i nyeghachila m ike.”
And he said, "Greatly loved man, do not be afraid, peace be to you; be strong, be strong." When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."
20 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị, “Ị maara ihe mere m ji bịakwute gị? Aga m alaghachi azụ ịlụso onyeisi na-achị alaeze Peshịa ọgụ, mgbe mụ ga-apụ, eze na-achị Griis ga-abịa;
Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, look, the prince of Greece shall come.
21 ma otu ọ dị, aga m agwa gị ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nke eziokwu. (Ọ dịghị onye na-enyere m aka imegide ha ma ọ bụghị naanị Maikel onyeisi unu.
But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the Book of Truth. And there is no one who contends with me against them except Michael, your prince."
