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 to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me previously.
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 the vision, and when I looked, I was in the citadel of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river 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 my eyes, and saw, and look, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one 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; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who 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.
As I was considering, look, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a prominent horn between his eyes.
6 Inabwera molunjika nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri ija imene ndinaona itayima pafupi ndi mtsinje. Ndipo inayithamangira mwaukali.
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and rushed at 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.
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he threw him down to the ground and trampled on him, and there was no one who could deliver the ram from his power.
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.
The male goat became very strong. But when he was strong, the large horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four prominent horns 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.
Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful 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.
It grew so great that it reached to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.
11 Inadzikuza yokha mpaka kufikira kwa mfumu ya gululo: inathetsa nsembe zimene zinkaperekedwa tsiku ndi tsiku, ndipo inagwetsa nyumba yake yopatulika.
And it magnified itself, even against the Prince of the host; and it took away from him the daily sacrifice, and the place of his sanctuary was thrown down.
12 Gulu lake la nkhondo linathetsa nsembe zoperekera machimo za tsiku ndi tsiku; chipembedzo choonadi chinaponderezedwa pansi. Nyangayi inapambana mu zonse zimene inachita.
The host was given over to it together with the daily sacrifice because of transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and kept prospering.
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 a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled?"
14 Iye anandiyankha kuti, “Zidzachitika patapita masiku 2,300; pambuyo pake malo opatulika adzabwezeretsedwa monga kale.”
He said to me, "To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be restored to its rightful state."
15 Ine Danieli ndikuyangʼanitsitsa masomphenyawa ndi kuyesa kuwazindikira, kuwamvetsa, ndinangoona wina wooneka ngati munthu atayima patsogolo panga.
It came about when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it. And look, there stood before me someone who appeared to be a man.
16 Ndipo ndinamva mawu a munthu kuchokera mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Ulai akuyitana kuti, “Gabrieli, muwuze munthuyu tanthauzo la masomphenyawo.”
I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and called out and said, "Gabriel, make this man 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 frightened, and fell prostrate. But he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision belongs to the time of the end."
18 Pamene ankandiyankhula ndinadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba, nʼkugona tulo tofa nato. Kenaka anandikhudza ndi kundiyimiritsa.
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright.
19 Iye anati, “Ine ndikuwuza zimene zidzachitike ukadzatha mkwiyo, chifukwa masomphenyawa ndi a nthawi ya chimaliziro.”
He said, "Look, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of wrath, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 Nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri imene unayiona, ikuyimira mafumu a Amedi ndi Aperezi.
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they 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.
The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large 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.
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall arise out of his nation, but not with his power.
23 “Pa masiku otsiriza a maufumuwa, machimo awo atachulukitsa, padzadzuka mfumu yaukali ndi yochenjera kwambiri.
In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressions have reached their full measure, a rash and deceitful king shall arise.
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.
His power shall be great, but not by his own strength; and he shall cause terrible destruction, and shall succeed in whatever he does. And he 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.
Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper by his influence, and he shall be great in his own mind, and without warning he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be shattered, but not by human hands.
26 “Masomphenya okhudza madzulo ndi mmawa amene unawaona aja ndi woona, koma uwasunge masomphenyawa mwachinsinsi popeza ndi onena za masiku a mʼtsogolo kwambiri.”
The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision because it refers to many days from now."
27 Ine Danieli ndinafowoka ndipo ndinadwala masiku angapo. Kenaka ndinadzuka ndi kupitiriza ntchito za mfumu. Ndinada nkhawa ndi masomphenyawo; ndipo sindinathe kuwamvetsa.
I, Daniel, was overcome, and was ill for days. Then I rose up, and carried out the king's business. And I was astonished by the vision, but there was no one to explain it.
