Danyeri 10
1 Mu mwaka ogwokusatu ogw’obufuzi bwa Kuulo kabaka w’e Buperusi, Danyeri eyayitibwanga Berutesazza n’afuna okwolesebwa okulala. Ekigambo kye yafuna kyali kya mazima nga kyogera ku lutalo olw’amaanyi. N’ategeera obubaka obwamuweebwa mu kwolesebwa okwo.
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 Mu biro ebyo, nze Danyeri ne mmala wiiki ssatu nga nkungubaga.
In those days, I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 Saalya ku mmere ennungi, newaakubadde ennyama wadde okunywa ku wayini; era ne nsiwuukira ddala okumala wiiki ssatu.
I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, till three whole weeks were ended.
4 Ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye nga nyimiridde ku mabbali g’omugga omunene Tigiriisi,
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river Hiddekel,
5 ne nnyimusa amaaso gange, ne ntunula waggulu, ne ndaba omusajja ayambadde linena, nga yeesibye olukoba olwa zaabu ennongooseemu mu kiwato.
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 Omubiri gwe gwali gumasamasa ng’ejjinja erya berulo, n’ekyenyi kye nga kiri ng’okumyansa okw’eggulu, n’amaaso ge nga gali ng’ettabaaza ez’omuliro, n’emikono gye n’amagulu ge nga biri ng’ebbala ly’ekikomo ekizigule, n’eddoboozi lye ng’oluyoogaano olw’ekibiina ekinene.
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 Nze Danyeri nzekka, nze nalaba okwolesebwa okwo, abasajja be nnali nabo tebaakulaba, wabula bajjula entiisa, ne badduka ne beekweka.
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 Ne nsigala nzekka, nga neewuunya okwolesebwa okunene okwo; ne nzigwamu amaanyi; amaaso gange ne gayongobera, ne mba, nga seesobola.
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 Awo ne mpulira ng’ayogera, era bwe nnali nga nkyamuwuliriza, ne neebaka otulo tungi nnyo, amaaso gange nga gatunudde wansi ku ttaka.
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 Ne wabaawo omukono ogunkwatako, emikono gyange n’amaviivi gange ne bitanula okujugumira.
And behold, a hand touched me, and lifted me upon my knees and the palms of my hands.
11 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Danyeri, ggwe omusajja omwagalwa ennyo, tegeera era osseeyo omwoyo ku bigambo bye njogera naawe, era yimuka oyimirire kubanga ntumiddwa gy’oli.” Awo bwe yayogera ebigambo ebyo gye ndi ne nnyimirira nga nkankana.
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 N’alyoka aŋŋamba nti, “Totya Danyeri, kubanga okuva ku lunaku olwasooka lwe wamalirira okutegeera ne weetoowaza mu maaso ga Katonda wo, ebigambo byo byawulirwa, era nzize olw’ebigambo byo.
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 Namala ennaku amakumi abiri mu lumu nga nkyalwana n’omulangira w’e Buperusi, naye Mikayiri omu ku balangira abakulu n’ajja n’annyamba, kubanga kabaka w’e Buperusi yali ankwatidde eyo.
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 Kaakano nzize okukunnyonnyola ebigenda okutuuka ku bantu bo mu biro eby’omu maaso; kubanga bye wayolesebwa byogera ku biro ebigenda okujja.”
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 Awo bwe yali ng’akyambuulira ebyo, ne nkutama, ne ntunuza amaaso gange wansi, ne nsirika.
And when he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
16 Awo ne wajja eyafaanana ng’omuntu n’akoma ku mimwa gyange, ne ntanula okwogera. Ne ŋŋamba eyali annyimiridde mu maaso nti, “Mukama wange nzijjudde obuyinike, era n’amaanyi sirina olw’ebyo bye njolesebbwa.
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 Nnyinza ntya nze omuddu wo okwogera naawe ggwe mukama wange? Amaanyi gampweddemu, sikyayinza na kussa bulungi mukka.”
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 Nate eyafaanana ng’omuntu n’ankomako n’anzizaamu amaanyi.
Then one having the appearance of a man again touched me and strengthened me,
19 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Ggwe omwagalwa ennyo, totya. Emirembe gibeere gy’oli, guma omwoyo era beera n’obuvumu.” Awo bwe yayogera nange, ne nziramu amaanyi, ne njogera nti, “Yogera mukama wange, kubanga onzizizzaamu amaanyi.”
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 N’alyoka ayogera nti, “Ekindeese gy’oli okimanyi? Mu bbanga eritali ly’ewala, nzija kuddayo okulwanyisa omulangira ow’e Buperusi, era bwe ndimuwangula, omulangira ow’e Buyonaani alijja.
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 Naye okusooka byonna, ka nkutegeeze ebyawandiikibwa ebiri mu kitabo eky’amazima: Tewali n’omu ambeera okuggyako Mikayiri, omulangira wammwe abakuuma.
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.
