Daniel 10

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
I te toru o nga tau o Hairuha kingi o Pahia, i whakakitea he mea ki a Raniera, i huaina nei ko Peretehatara; a he tika taua mea, he mea mo tetahi whawhai nui: a i matau ia ki taua mea, i mohio ano hoki ki te tikanga o te kite.
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
I aua ra i te tangi ahau, a Raniera, e toru nga tino wiki.
I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Kihai tetahi kai e minaminatia ana i kainga e ahau, kihai ano te kikokiko, te waina ranei, i tapoko ki toku mangai, a kihai rawa ahau i whakawahi i ahau a taka noa nga tino wiki e toru.
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
Na i te rua tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama tuatahi, i ahau i te taha o te awa nui, ara o Hirekere,
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
Ka ara ake oku kanohi, a ka titiro, ka kite ahau, na, ko tetahi tangata he kakahu rinena tona, ko tona hope he mea whitiki ki te koura parakore o Upuhata:
His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Ko tona tinana hoki rite tonu ki te perira, ko tona mata rite tonu ki te ahau o te uira, ko ona kanohi kei nga rama ahi te rite, ko ona ringa, ko ona waewae, rite tonu te kara ki to te parahi kua oti te whakakanapa, a, ko te reo o ana kupu, ano k o te reo o te mano.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
Na ko ahau anake, ko Raniera, i kite i taua whakakitenga: kihai hoki oku hoa i kite i taua whakakitenga; engari i tau te wiri nui ki a ratou, a rere ana ki te piri.
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
A mahue iho ko ahau anake. Na ka kite ahau i tenei mea nui; kihai ano hoki i mahue he kaha i roto i ahau: i puta ke hoki toku ataahua, kore iho, kahore hoki he kaha i mau i ahau.
Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
I rongo ano ia ahau i te reo o ana kupu: a, i toku rongonga i te reo o ana kupu, na ka riro ahau i te moe, au tonu, me toku tapapa ano, toku mata anga tonu ki te whenua.
And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
Na, kua pa he ringa ki ahau, na reira ahau i whakaara ki runga ki oku turi, ki runga hoki i nga kapu o oku ringa.
And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
Na kia mea ia ki ahau, E Raniera, e te tangata e arohaina nuitia ana, kia mohio koe ki nga kupu ka korerotia nei e ahau ki a koe; e tu ki runga; kua unga mai hoki ahau inaianei ki a koe. Na i tana korerotanga i tenei kupu ki ahau, ka tu ahau, me te wiri.
Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
Katahi tera ka ki mai ki ahau, Kaua e wehi, e Raniera, no te mea no te ra tuatahi ano i anga ai tou ngakau ki te matau, ki te whakaiti i a koe ki te aroaro o tou Atua, i rangona ai au kupu; a na au kupu hoki ahau i haere mai ai.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Otiia i turia mai ahau e te rangatira o te kingitanga, o Pahia, e rua tekau ma tahi nga ra; na, kua tae mai a Mikaera, tetahi o nga tino rangatira, hei awhina moku, a noho ana ahau i reira i nga kingi o Pahia.
Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
Na kua tae mai nei ahau kia matau ai koe ki nga mea e pa ki tou iwi i nga ra whakamutunga: ko te kite hoki mo nga ra maha e takoto ake nei.
And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
Na, i tana korerotanga mai i enei kupu ki ahau, ka anga toku mata ki te whenua, kahore hoki aku kupu.
And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
Na, kua pa tetahi ki oku ngutu, ko tona ahua kei to nga tama a te tangata: na ka puaki toku mangai, a ka korero ahau, ka mea ki tera i tu ra ki toku aroaro, E toku ariki, na te kite ra, kua tahuri iho oku pouritanga ngakau ki ahau, kahore hoki h e kaha e mau ana ki ahau.
For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
Ma te aha hoki e ahei ai i te pononga a tenei ariki oku te korero ki tenei ariki oku? ko ahau nei hoki, kore tonu iho he maunga o te kaha i roto i ahau, kihai ano i mahue he manawa i roto i ahau.
Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Katahi ka pa ano tetahi ki ahau, ko tona ahua rite tonu ki to te tangata, a whakakahangia ana ahau e ia.
And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
I mea ia, Kaua e wehi e te tangata e arohaina nuitia ana; kia mau te rongo ki a koe, kia kaha, ae ra, kia kaha. Na, i tana korerotanga ki ahau, kua kaha ahau. Na ka mea ahau, Ma toku ariki e korero mai; kua oti nei hoki ahau te whakakaha e koe.
Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
Katahi tera ka ki mai, E mohio ana ranei koe ki te mea i haere mai ai ahau ki a koe? na akuanei ahau hoki ai ki te whawhai ki te rangatira o Pahia. Ka puta atu ahau, na ka haere mai te rangatira o Kariki.
But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
Me whakaatu ano ia e ahau ki a koe te mea i tuhituhia ki te karaipiture pono: kahore hoki tetahi e whakakaha ana i a ia ano hei hoa moku ki enei mea, ko to koutou rangatira anake, ko Mikaera.
