< Danieli 8 >

1 Chaka chachitatu cha ulamuliro wa mfumu Belisazara, Ine Danieli, ndinaonanso masomphenya, ena atatha amene anandionekera poyamba.
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
2 Ndinaona mʼmasomphenya kuti ndinali mu mzinda wotetezedwa wa Susa mʼchigawo cha Elamu. Mʼmasomphenyawo ndinaona nditayima pafupi ndi mtsinje wa Ulai.
And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
3 Nditakweza maso ndinaona nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri, itayima pafupi ndi mtsinje. Nyanga zakezo zinali zazitali. Nyanga imodzi inali yotalika kuposa inzake, ndipo iyi inaphuka inzakeyo itamera kale.
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 Ndinaona nkhosa yayimunayo ikuthamanga mwaukali kupita kumadzulo, kumpoto ndi kummwera. Palibe chirombo chimene chikanatha kulimbana nayo, ndipo palibe akanatha kulanditsa kanthu kwa iyo. Iyo inachita monga inafunira ndipo inali ndi mphamvu zambiri.
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
5 Pamene ndinali kulingalira za zinthu zimenezi, mwadzidzidzi mbuzi yayimuna inatulukira cha kumadzulo, kudutsa dziko lonse lapansi mwaliwiro ikuyenda mʼmalele mokhamokha. Mbuzi yayimunayo inali ndi nyanga yayikulu pakati pa maso ake.
And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 Inabwera molunjika nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri ija imene ndinaona itayima pafupi ndi mtsinje. Ndipo inayithamangira mwaukali.
And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had there seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
7 Inafika pafupi ndipo inalimbana nayo mwaukali nkhosa yayimuna ija nʼkuthyola nyanga zake ziwiri. Nkhosa yayimunayo inalibenso mphamvu zogonjetsera mbuziyo; choncho mbuzi ija inagwetsa nkhosayo pansi nʼkuyipondaponda, ndipo palibe akanatha kulanditsa nkhosayo kwa mbuziyo.
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Mbuziyo inayamba kudzikuza kwambiri chifukwa cha mphamvu zake koma pamene mphamvuzo zinakula kwambiri nyanga yake yayikulu inathyoka, ndipo mʼmalo mwake panamera nyanga zinayi moloza mbali zonse zinayi.
Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Pa imodzi mwa nyangazo panatuluka nyanga imene inali yocheperapo koma inakula kwambiri kuloza kummwera ndi kummawa ndi kuloza dziko lokongola.
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
10 Inakula mpaka inafikira gulu lankhondo la kumwamba, ndipo inagwetsera ena a gulu lankhondolo ndi ena a gulu la nyenyezi ku dziko lapansi ndi kuwapondaponda.
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11 Inadzikuza yokha mpaka kufikira kwa mfumu ya gululo: inathetsa nsembe zimene zinkaperekedwa tsiku ndi tsiku, ndipo inagwetsa nyumba yake yopatulika.
Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 Gulu lake la nkhondo linathetsa nsembe zoperekera machimo za tsiku ndi tsiku; chipembedzo choonadi chinaponderezedwa pansi. Nyangayi inapambana mu zonse zimene inachita.
And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Kenaka ndinamva wina akuyankhula; ndipo woyera winanso anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi zimene ndikuziona mʼmasomphenyazi zidzatha liti? Nsembe zoperekera machimo za tsiku ndi tsiku zidzakhala zoletsedwa mpaka liti? Nanga chonyansa chosokoneza chidzakhalapo mpaka liti? Kodi gulu la ankhondo lidzapondereza malo opatulika mpaka liti?”
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 Iye anandiyankha kuti, “Zidzachitika patapita masiku 2,300; pambuyo pake malo opatulika adzabwezeretsedwa monga kale.”
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
15 Ine Danieli ndikuyangʼanitsitsa masomphenyawa ndi kuyesa kuwazindikira, kuwamvetsa, ndinangoona wina wooneka ngati munthu atayima patsogolo panga.
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 Ndipo ndinamva mawu a munthu kuchokera mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Ulai akuyitana kuti, “Gabrieli, muwuze munthuyu tanthauzo la masomphenyawo.”
And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17 Atayandikira kumene ndinayima, ndinachita mantha ndi kugwa chafufumimba. Iye anati, “Mwana wa munthu, zindikira kuti masomphenyawa akunena za nthawi yachimaliziro.”
So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
18 Pamene ankandiyankhula ndinadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba, nʼkugona tulo tofa nato. Kenaka anandikhudza ndi kundiyimiritsa.
Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
19 Iye anati, “Ine ndikuwuza zimene zidzachitike ukadzatha mkwiyo, chifukwa masomphenyawa ndi a nthawi ya chimaliziro.”
And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
20 Nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri imene unayiona, ikuyimira mafumu a Amedi ndi Aperezi.
The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Mbuzi yayimuna ija ndi mfumu ya Agriki, ndipo nyanga yayikulu pakati pa maso ake aja ndi mfumu yoyamba.
And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Kunena za nyanga inathyoka ija ndi nyanga zinayi zimene zinaphuka mʼmalo mwake zikutanthauza maufumu anayi amene adzatuluka mʼdziko lake; koma sizidzafanana mphamvu ndi ufumu woyambawo.
Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23 “Pa masiku otsiriza a maufumuwa, machimo awo atachulukitsa, padzadzuka mfumu yaukali ndi yochenjera kwambiri.
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 Idzakhala yamphamvu kwambiri koma osati mphamvu za iyo yokha. Idzawononga koopsa ndipo idzapambana mu chilichonse chimene idzachite. Mfumuyi idzawononga anthu amphamvu ndi anthu oyera omwe.
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 Chifukwa cha kuchenjera kwake chinyengo chidzachuluka pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wake, ndipo idzadzikuza kuposa onse. Pamene oyera mtima adzaona ngati kuti ali otetezedwa, iyo idzawononga ambiri ndi kuwukira ngakhale Mfumu ya mafumu. Komabe idzawonongedwa, koma osati ndi mphamvu za munthu.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 “Masomphenya okhudza madzulo ndi mmawa amene unawaona aja ndi woona, koma uwasunge masomphenyawa mwachinsinsi popeza ndi onena za masiku a mʼtsogolo kwambiri.”
And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
27 Ine Danieli ndinafowoka ndipo ndinadwala masiku angapo. Kenaka ndinadzuka ndi kupitiriza ntchito za mfumu. Ndinada nkhawa ndi masomphenyawo; ndipo sindinathe kuwamvetsa.
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
