Taneo 10
1 Hagi Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'ma nampa 3 kafuma kinima nemanigeno'a, Danielina mago agi'a Belsasakino ru'ene mago ava'nagnaza Anumzamo'a eri averi higeno ke'ne. Agrama ana zama keno antahino'ma hiana, tamage huno henka fore'ma hania zamofo ke'neankino, tusi'a ha'zane knazane egahie.
During the third year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, I Daniel, [who had been given the] name Belteshazzar, received [another] message [from God]. The message was true, but it was very difficult for me to understand it. But [later] I understood the message because of the vision that I had seen.
2 Hagi ama ana ava'nama nagra Danieli'nama kete'na, 3'a sontamofo agu'afina nasunkura nehu'na zavirate'noe.
At that time I had been sad for three weeks [about what had happened to Jerusalem].
3 Ana knafina knare'nare ne'zane, afu me'ane, waini tinena magore hu'na nagitera erinte'na one'noe. Ana nehu'na ana knafina magore hu'na nazokapine navufgafina masavena fre'na erisera osu'na mani'nogeno 3'a sontamo'a evu nagatere'ne.
I did not eat any tasty food or any meat or drink any wine. I did not even put any perfumed oil on my [face or hair] for those three weeks.
4 Hagi ese ikamofona 24zupa nagra Taigrisi rantimofo ankenare oti'nena,
[When those three weeks ended, ] on April 23, [my companions and] I were standing on the bank of the great Tigris River.
5 kesgama hu'na koana, mago ne'mo'a efeke zaza kukena antani'neno, Goliretike tro hu'naza amu nofi afafafina rugagino rente'nege'na ke'noe.
I looked up and saw someone there who was wearing fine white/linen clothes and a belt [made of] pure gold.
6 Ana ne'mofo avufgaregatira rumsa huno, krisolaitie nehaza haveretima nehiaza huno rumsa hu'ne. Hagi avugosafintira kopasi'namo'ma nehiaza huno rumarave nehigeno, avurgafintira tosi tavi'mo'ma nehiaza huno rugananini hu'ne. Azamo'ene agiamo'enena masave freza eri avugosa hu'naza bronsigna nehigeno, agerumofo agasasamo'a rama'a vahe'mokizmi zamagerumofo agasasamo'ma hiaza hu'ne.
His body [shone] like a precious beryl stone. His face was as [bright as] a flash of lightning. His eyes [were/shone] like flaming torches. His arms and legs [shone] like polished bronze. And his voice was [very loud], like the roar of a huge crowd.
7 Danieli'na ana avanagna zana nagrake ke'noanagi, nagranema mani'naza vahe'mo'za ama ana ava'nagna zama ke'noana, zamagra onke'naze. Hianagi zamagra tusi koro nehu'za, frakinaku koro fre'za vu'naze.
I, Daniel, was the only one who saw this vision. The men who were with me did not see anything, but [they sensed that someone was there, and they] became terrified. They ran away and hid themselves.
8 Ana hazage'na nagrake anantera oti'nena ruzahu ava'nagna zana ke'noe. Hankaveni'a omanegeno navugosamo'a rukrahe nehigeno, zaferinani'a omane amane hu'ne.
So I was left there by myself, looking at this very unusual vision. I had no strength left. My face became very pale, with the result that no one would have recognized me.
9 Hagi anante ana nemo'ma keagama nehige'na ageru'ama nentahugeno'a, navumo'a kagigagi hige'na navugosaregati mopafi traka hu'na mase fatgo hu'noe.
I saw a man there, and when I heard him speak, I fell to the ground. I (fainted/became unconscious), [and I lay there] with my face on the ground.
10 Anante mago vahe'mofo azamo navako huno nazeri oti'ne. Hianagi nahirahi neregena nazanteti vazisga hune'na mopafi narena re'na mani'nena nahirahiku hu'noe.
Suddenly someone’s hand took hold of me and lifted me, with the result that I was on my hands and knees, [but I was still] trembling.
11 Anante ana ne'mo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Danieliga Anumzamofo avurera knare hu'nankeno Agra avesigante'ne. Ana hu'negu nagrama kasamisnua nanekea kagesa ante'nenka antahi so'e huo. Kagriku huno hunantege'na e'noanki, oti'nenka antahio. Anagema hige'na nahirahiku nehu'na oti'noe.
The man said to me, “Daniel, [God] loves you very much. Stand up and listen to what I am going to say to you, because [God] sent me to you.” When he said that, I stood up, [but I was still] trembling.
12 Ana hugeno anante agra nasamino, Danieliga korora osuo, kagrama ese kna zupama Anumzamofo avure'ma kavufga erinte raminka mani'nenkama, agafa hunka ama' antahi'zanku'ma nunamuma nehankeno'a, Anumzamo'a monafinkatira nunamunka'a antahiteno, hunantege'na nunamunka'amofo nona'a hunaku e'noe.
Then he said to me, “Daniel, do not be afraid. God has heard what you have prayed ever since the first day that you determined to humble yourself in order to understand [the vision]. I have come to you because of what you prayed.
13 Hagi nagra ko ame hu'na enaku hu'noanagi, Pesia mopare'ma kegavama hu'nea ankeromo kana rehiza hige'na, 21ni'a zagegna mani'noe. Anante vugota hu'naza ankerompinti magora Maikoli'e nehaza ankeromo eno eme naza hu'ne. Na'ankure Pesia kini vahe amunompina nagrake mani'nogeno eme naza hunaku anara hu'ne.
The [evil spirit who] rules the kingdom of Persia resisted/hindered me for 21 days, but Michael, who is one of God’s chief angels, came to help me. I left him there in Persia [to resist] that evil spirit who rules there.
14 Hanki nagrama menima e'noana, kagri vahete'ma henkama fore haniaza eri ama hu'na kasaminaku e'noe. Na'ankure ama ana ava'nagna zama ke'nanana henkama fore'ma haniaza ke'nane.
I have come here to enable you to understand what will happen to the Israeli people in the future. [Do not forget that] the vision [that you saw] is about [things that will happen in] the distant future, [not about things that will happen very soon].”
15 Hagi agra anagema huno nenasamige'na navugosaregati mopafi masena kea hugara osu'noe.
While he was saying that, I stared at the ground and was unable to say anything [because I was very afraid].
16 Hagi ana nemo'a tagrama hunaza huno mopafi vahekna hu'neankino, nagite azana eme anteno navako hige'na, nagira reaka nehu'na agafa hu'na keaga hu'noe. Ana nehu'na ana ne'mo'a navuga oti'nege'na amanage hu'na asami'noe. Ranimoka nagra ava'nagna zama ke'noa zamo higeno navufgamo'a tusi nata negrigeno hankaveni'a omane'ne.
Suddenly [the angel], who resembled a human, touched my lips. Then [I was able to speak, and] I said to him, “Sir, because [I have seen] this vision, I have become very weak, with the result that I cannot stop trembling.
17 Ana hu'neanki'na na'ane hu'na kagri eri'za vahemo'na ranimoka kasamigahue. Hankaveni'a omanege'na nasimu'ma ante'zankura tusi amuho hue.
I am not able [RHQ] to talk to you, my master. I have no strength left, and it is very difficult for me to breathe.”
18 Hanki anante vaheknama hu'nea ne'mo'a ete mago'ene navako higeno, hankavenimo'a ete e'ne.
But he took hold of me again, and enabled me to become stronger again.
19 Anante ana ankeromo'a huno, Korora osunka karimpa frune manio! Na'ankure Anumzamo'a avesigante'neankino, Agra kagesga hu'negu korora osunka oti hankavetio. Hagi ama ana nanekema nenasamige'nama nentahugeno'a, ete hankavenimo'a osi'a ege'na amanage hu'na asami'noe. Muse hugantoanki ranimoka, ana zankura menina keaga nasamio. Na'ankure kagra ko nazeri hankaveti'nane.
He said to me, “You human, God loves you very much. [So] do not be afraid. I desire/want things to go well for you and that you will be encouraged.” When he had said that, I felt even stronger, and I said, “Sir, tell me [what you want to tell me]. You have enabled me to feel stronger.”
20 Anagema hugeno'a amanage huno kenona hunante'ne. Nagrama menima e'noa zamofo agafa'a kagra kenka antahinka hu'nampi? Nagra amafina za'zatera omani'na ete ame hu'na vu'na, Pesia mopare'ma kegavama hu'nea havi ankerone hara ome hu'na azeri agateregahue. Anama hutesnugeno'a Grisi mopare'ma kegavama hu'nea ankeromo'a eme hara hunantegahie.
Then he said, “(Do you know why I came to you?/I will tell you why I came to you.) [RHQ] It is to reveal to you what is written in the book which reveals/contains God’s truth. But now I must return to fight against [the evil spirit] who rules the kingdom of Persia. After I have defeated him, [the evil angel] who guards Greece will appear [and I must defeat him]. Michael, who guards you [Israeli people], will help me, but there is no one else to help me.”
21 Anante ana ankeromo'a amanage huno nasami'ne. Menina tamage nanekema avontafepima krente'naza nanekea eri ama hu'na kasamigahue. Hagi mago vahe'mo'a nagrira naza hige'na ana havi ankeroraminena hara osu'noanki, Israeli vahe'mota tamagrite'ma kegavama nehia ankero ne' Maikoli naza hige'na hara hu'noe.
