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, a thing is revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the thing [is] true, and the warfare [is] great: and he hath understood the thing, and hath understanding about the appearance.
2 Mu biro ebyo, nze Danyeri ne mmala wiiki ssatu nga nkungubaga.
'In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks of days;
3 Saalya ku mmere ennungi, newaakubadde ennyama wadde okunywa ku wayini; era ne nsiwuukira ddala okumala wiiki ssatu.
desirable bread I have not eaten, and flesh and wine hath not come in unto my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at all, till the completion of three weeks of days.
4 Ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu ennya olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye nga nyimiridde ku mabbali g’omugga omunene Tigiriisi,
'And in the twenty and fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel:
5 ne nnyimusa amaaso gange, ne ntunula waggulu, ne ndaba omusajja ayambadde linena, nga yeesibye olukoba olwa zaabu ennongooseemu mu kiwato.
and I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure 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.
and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright brass, and the voice of his words as the voice 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 have seen — I, Daniel, by myself — the appearance: and the men who have been with me have not seen the appearance, but a great trembling hath fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden;
8 Ne nsigala nzekka, nga neewuunya okwolesebwa okunene okwo; ne nzigwamu amaanyi; amaaso gange ne gayongobera, ne mba, nga seesobola.
and I have been left by myself, and I see this great appearance, and there hath been no power left in me, and my honour hath been turned in me to corruption, yea, I have not retained power.
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 hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face [is] to the earth;
10 Ne wabaawo omukono ogunkwatako, emikono gyange n’amaviivi gange ne bitanula okujugumira.
and lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on 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 saith unto me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking unto thee, and stand on thy station, for now I have been sent unto thee. 'And when he speaketh with me this word, I have stood 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.
And he saith unto me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that thou didst give thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words have been heard, and I have come because 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.
'And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing over-against me twenty and one days, and lo, Michael, first of the chief heads, hath come in to help me, and I have remained there near 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.”
and I have come to cause thee to understand that which doth happen to thy people in the latter end of the days, for yet the vision [is] after days.
15 Awo bwe yali ng’akyambuulira ebyo, ne nkutama, ne ntunuza amaaso gange wansi, ne nsirika.
'And when he speaketh with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;
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 lo, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say unto him who is standing over-against me: My lord, by the appearance turned have been my pangs against me, and I have retained no power.
17 Nnyinza ntya nze omuddu wo okwogera naawe ggwe mukama wange? Amaanyi gampweddemu, sikyayinza na kussa bulungi mukka.”
And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? as for me, henceforth there remaineth in me no power, yea, breath hath not been left in me.
18 Nate eyafaanana ng’omuntu n’ankomako n’anzizaamu amaanyi.
'And he addeth, and striketh against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengtheneth 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 he saith: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to thee, be strong, yea, be strong; and when he speaketh with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, 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.
And he saith, Hast thou known why I have come unto thee? and now I turn back to fight with the head of Persia; yea, I am going forth, and lo, the head of Javan hath come;
21 Naye okusooka byonna, ka nkutegeeze ebyawandiikibwa ebiri mu kitabo eky’amazima: Tewali n’omu ambeera okuggyako Mikayiri, omulangira wammwe abakuuma.
but I declare to thee that which is noted down in the Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself with me, concerning these, except Michael your head.
