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 Cyrus, king of Persia, was a revelation made to Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar; and the revelation is true, and relateth to long warfare. And he gave heed to the revelation, 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 three full 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 ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, till three whole weeks were ended.
4 Nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ na anọ nke ọnwa mbụ nʼafọ, eguzo m nʼakụkụ osimiri ukwu ahụ, bụ Taịgris,
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river Hiddekel,
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 behold, a certain man, clothed in linen garments, and his loins girded with gold of 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 chrysolite, and his face had the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like the appearance of polished brass, and the sound of his words was as the shout 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.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision and the men who were with me saw not the vision; but a great terror fell upon 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.
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision; and there remained no strength in me, and my color was changed upon me into a deadly paleness, 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.
And I heard the sound of his words; and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell senseless upon my face, and 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.
And behold, a hand touched me, and lifted me upon my knees and 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.
And he said to me, Daniel, much-beloved man, give heed to the words which I speak to thee, and stand upright! for to thee am I now sent. And when he said this to me, I stood up 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 said he to me, Fear not, Daniel! for from the first day that thou didst set thy mind to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come on account of thy 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 stood up against me one and twenty days; but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left there victorious 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 am come to teach thee what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision yet relates to distant 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 these words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
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 behold, one having the appearance of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spake, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my pain came upon me, and I have no strength left.
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.”
And how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? And now there remaineth no strength in me, neither is breath left in me.
18 Mgbe ahụ, otu onye yiri mmadụ bịara metụkwa m aka ọzọ nye m ike.
Then one having the appearance of a man again touched me 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 said, Fear not, much-beloved man! peace be to thee! be strong, yea, be strong! And while he was speaking with me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast 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, Knowest thou wherefore I have come to thee? And now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia, and I will go forth, and behold, the prince of Greece will 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 show thee what is written in the book of truth. No one putteth forth his strength with me against them but Michael, your prince.
