Daniel 2
1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams. And his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.
Na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi na ye, Nabukodonozori alotaki ndoto. Molimo na ye etungisamaki makasi mpe pongi ekimaki ye.
2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
Mokonzi abengisaki bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya, banganga-kisi, bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto mpe bato ya mayele ya mabe mpo ete bayebisa ye ndoto oyo alotaki. Tango bayaki, batelemaki liboso ya mokonzi;
3 And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.
mpe mokonzi ayebisaki bango: — Nalotaki ndoto moko oyo ezali kotungisa molimo na ngai makasi; nazali na posa ya koyeba ndimbola na yango.
4 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, O king, live forever. Tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
Bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto balobaki na lokota ya bato ya Arami: — Tika ete mokonzi awumela na bomoi seko na seko! Yebisa ndoto na yo epai ya basali na yo, mpe tokolimbola yango.
5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me. If ye do not make the dream and the interpretation of it known to me, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
Mokonzi alobaki na bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto: — Tala mokano oyo nasili kozwa: « Soki boyebisi ngai te ndoto oyo nalotaki mpe ndimbola na yango, nakokata bino biteni-biteni mpe nakobuka-buka bandako na bino.
6 But if ye show the dream and the interpretation of it, ye shall receive gifts and rewards and great honor from me. Therefore show the dream and the interpretation of it to me.
Kasi soki boyebisi mpe bopesi ngai ndimbola na yango, nakopesa bino bakado, lifuti mpe lokumu mingi. Yango wana, boyebisa ngai ndoto yango mpe bopesa ngai ndimbola na yango. »
7 They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
Bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto balobaki lisusu epai ya mokonzi: — Tika ete mokonzi ayebisa ndoto na ye, mpe biso, tokolimbolela ye yango!
8 The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the thing has gone from me.
Mokonzi azongisaki: — Nandimi solo ete bozali kolekisa tango, pamba te boyebi malamu ete nakobongola mokano na ngai te.
9 But if ye do not make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you, for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me till the time is changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation of it.
Soki boyebisi ngai ndoto yango te, boyeba malamu ete etumbu moko kaka mpe ya ndenge moko ezali kozela bino! Ah, boyokani koyebisa ngai makambo ya lokuta mpe ya mabe mpo bokanisi ete makambo ekobongwana! Mpo na yango, boyebisa ngai ndoto yango, mpe nakondima ete bozali na makoki ya kolimbola yango.
10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth who can show the king's matter. Inasmuch as no king, lord, or ruler, has asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean.
Bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto balobaki na mokonzi: — Moto moko te kati na mokili akokoka kosala makambo oyo mokonzi azali kosenga. Mpe mokonzi moko te, ezala azalaki moto monene to moto na nguya, asila kosenga likambo ya boye epai ya banganga-kisi, epai ya bato ya mayele ya mabe mpe epai ya bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto.
11 And it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
Makambo oyo mokonzi azali kosenga ezali pasi makasi, moto moko te akoki koyebisa mokonzi ndoto na ye; ezali kaka banzambe nde bakoki kosala yango mpo ete bavandaka kati na bato te.
12 For this reason the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Mbala moko, mokonzi asilikaki mpe atombokaki makasi; apesaki mitindo ete baboma bato nyonso ya bwanya ya Babiloni.
13 So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain. And they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
Boye, sango ya mokano ya koboma bato nyonso ya bwanya epanzanaki, mpe batindaki bato koluka Daniele elongo na baninga na ye mpo ete baboma bango.
14 Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, who went forth to kill the wise men of Babylon.
Tango Arioki, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, abimaki mpo na kokende koboma bato ya bwanya ya Babiloni, Daniele asololaki na ye na bwanya mpe na mayele.
15 He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so urgent from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
Daniele atunaki Arioki: « Mpo na nini mokonzi azwi mokano ya makasi boye? » Bongo Arioki atalisaki Daniele makambo yango.
16 And Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.
Tango Daniele ayokaki bongo, akotaki epai ya mokonzi mpe asengaki ye tango mpo ete akoka kopesa ye ndimbola ya ndoto yango;
17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
bongo Daniele azongaki na ndako na ye mpe ayebisaki makambo yango epai ya Anania, Mikaeli mpe Azaria, baninga na ye.
18 that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions should nor perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Alobaki na bango ete basenga ngolu mpe mawa ya Nzambe ya Lola na tina na mabombami oyo, mpo ete baboma te ye Daniele, baninga na ye mpe bato mosusu ya bwanya ya Babiloni.
19 Then the secret was shown to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
Bongo na butu, Daniele azwaki emoniseli oyo elakisaki ye mabombami yango; boye, akumisaki Nzambe ya Lola.
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are his.
Daniele alobaki: Tika ete Kombo ya Nzambe ekumisama libela na libela! Bwanya mpe nguya ezali ya Ye.
21 And he changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings, and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.
Ezali Ye nde abongolaka tango mpe makambo, alongolaka bakonzi mpe atombolaka bakonzi, apesaka bwanya epai ya bato ya bwanya mpe boyebi epai ya bato ya mayele.
22 He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
Alakisaka makambo ya bozindo mpe ebombama, ayebaka makambo oyo esalemaka na molili, mpe pole ezali kati na Ye.
23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and has now made known to me what we desired of thee, for thou have made known to us the king's matter.
Oh Nzambe ya batata na ngai, nazali kosanzola mpe kokumisa Yo mpo na bwanya mpe nguya oyo opesi ngai, pamba te oyebisi ngai makambo oyo tosengaki Yo mpe otalisi biso ndoto ya mokonzi.
24 Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said thus to him: Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.
Sima na yango, Daniele akendeki epai ya Arioki oyo mokonzi apesaki mokumba ya koboma bato ya bwanya ya Babiloni; alobaki na ye: — Koboma bato ya bwanya ya Babiloni te! Mema ngai epai ya mokonzi, mpe nakopesa ye ndimbola ya ndoto na ye.
25 Then Arioch brought Daniel in before the king in haste, and said thus to him: I have found a man of the sons of the captivity of Judah, who will make known the interpretation to the king.
Arioki amemaki Daniele na lombangu liboso ya mokonzi mpe alobaki na ye: — Mokonzi, namoni moto moko kati na bawumbu oyo bawutaki na Yuda, oyo akoki koyebisa mokonzi ndoto na ye mpe kolimbola yango.
26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are thou able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it?
Mokonzi atunaki Daniele oyo bazalaki lisusu kobenga Belitsatsari: — Ozali na makoki ya koyebisa ngai makambo oyo namonaki na ndoto mpe kolimbola yango?
27 Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded, neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, can show to the king,
Daniele azongisaki liboso ya mokonzi: — Bato ya bwanya, bato ya mayele ya mabe, banganga-kisi mpe bato oyo bayebaka makambo oyo ekoya bazali na makoki te ya koyebisa mokonzi mabombami oyo azali kotuna;
28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets. And he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:
kasi kati na Lola, ezali na Nzambe moko oyo alakisaka mabombami; mpe alakisi mokonzi Nabukodonozori makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo oyo ekoya. Tala ndoto oyo olotaki mpe bimoniseli oyo ozwaki tango ozalaki ya kolala na mbeto na yo:
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter. And he who reveals secrets has made known to thee what shall come to pass.
« Oh mokonzi, wana ozalaki ya kolala na mbeto na yo, okomaki kokanisa makambo oyo ekoya na sima ya tango; bongo, Ye oyo alakisaka mabombami alakisaki yo makambo oyo ekoya.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living man, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that thou may know the thoughts of thy heart.
Bongo soki alakisi mabombami yango epai na ngai, ezali te mpo ete naleki bato nyonso na bwanya, kasi ezali mpo ete mokonzi ayeba ndimbola ya ndoto na ye mpe makambo oyo ezali kotungisa motema na ye.
31 Thou, O king, saw, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee, and the appearance of it was fearful.
Oh mokonzi, tala emoniseli oyo ozwaki: ‹ Ekeko moko ya monene ezalaki liboso na yo: ezalaki monene penza, ezalaki kongenga makasi mpe ezalaki somo mpo na kotala;
32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,
moto na yango ezalaki ya wolo ya peto, tolo mpe maboko na yango ezalaki ya palata, libumu mpe loketo na yango ezalaki ya bronze,
33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.
makolo na yango ezalaki ya ebende, matambe na yango ezalaki, ndambo moko ya ebende, mpe ndambo mosusu, ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko.
34 Thou looked until a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
Wana ozalaki kotala ekeko yango, libanga moko ekweyaki yango moko (moto moko te abwakaki yango), ekweyelaki ekeko yango na matambe na yango ya ebende mpe ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, enikaki matambe yango mpe ekomaki putulu.
35 Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, was broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Mbala moko, ezala ebende to mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko to bronze to palata to mpe wolo, nyonso epanzanaki, ekomaki mike-mike mpe ekomaki kopumbwa ndenge matiti ya ble epumbwaka tango bapupolaka yango; mopepe ememaki yango mpe elimwisaki yango. Kasi libanga oyo ekweyelaki ekeko yango ekomaki ngomba moko ya monene oyo etondisaki mokili mobimba. › »
36 This is the dream, and we will tell the interpretation of it before the king.
Wana nde ezalaki ndoto; mpe sik’oyo, tokopesa ndimbola na yango liboso ya mokonzi!
37 Thou, O king, are a king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory.
Oh mokonzi, ozali mokonzi ya bakonzi! Nzambe ya Lola apesaki yo makasi mpe nguya, bokonzi mpe nkembo;
38 And wherever the sons of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, he has given into thy hand, and has made thee to rule over them all. Thou are the head of gold.
atiaki na se ya bokonzi na yo bato nyonso ya mokili, banyama ya zamba mpe bandeke ya likolo; atiaki yo mokonzi na bango nyonso, na bisika nyonso oyo bavandaka! Ezali yo nde ozali moto wana ya wolo.
39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
Sima na yo, bokonzi mosusu ekobima, kasi ekoleka bokonzi na yo te na nguya; bongo na sima, bokonzi ya misato ekobima mpe ekokonza na mabele mobimba: yango nde ezali kolakisa bronze.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things. And as iron that crushes all these, it shall break in pieces and crush.
Mpe na suka, bokonzi ya minei ekobima, ekozala makasi lokola ebende; ndenge ebende ebukaka, enikaka mpe epanzaka nyonso, ndenge wana mpe ekobuka mpe ekopanza babokonzi mosusu ya liboso.
41 And whereas thou saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom. But there shall be of the strength of the iron in it, inasmuch as thou saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
Mpe ndenge kaka omonaki ete matambe mpe misapi ya makolo na yango ezali ndambo moko, ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, mpe ndambo mosusu, ya ebende, elingi koloba ete bokonzi yango ekokabwana; kasi kati na yango, ekozala na eloko moko ya makasi lokola ebende, ndenge kaka omonaki ebende basangisa na mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
Mpe lokola misapi ya makolo ezalaki ndambo, ya ebende, mpe ndambo mosusu, ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, bokonzi yango ekozala, ngambo moko, makasi, mpe ngambo mosusu, ezanga makasi.
43 And whereas thou saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they shall not cling one to another, even as iron does not mix with clay.
Mpe ndenge kaka omonaki ebende basangisa na mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, elakisi ete bato bakoluka kosangana na nzela ya boyokani, kasi bakotikala kosangana te, ndenge kaka ebende esanganaka te na mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko.
44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
Na tango ya bakonzi wana, Nzambe ya Lola akobimisa bokonzi moko oyo ekotikala kobebisama te mpe ekotikala kozala te na se ya bokonzi ya ekolo mosusu; ekopanza mpe ekosukisa babokonzi wana nyonso, kasi yango moko ekowumela seko na seko.
45 Inasmuch as thou saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. And the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Yango nde ndimbola ya emoniseli ya libanga oyo omonaki kokweya yango moko wuta na ngomba, oyo loboko ya moto moko te ebwakaki, mpo na koya kopanza ebende, bronze, mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, palata mpe wolo. Nzambe Monene alakisi mokonzi makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo ekoya. Ndoto oyo ezali penza kolakisa makambo ya solo, mpe ndimbola na yango ezali ebongi na kondima.
46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors to him.
Boye, mokonzi Nabukodonozori agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele, liboso ya Daniele, mpe apesaki ye lokumu; apesaki mitindo ete bapesa ye makabo mpe babonzela ye malasi ya ansa.
47 The king answered to Daniel, and said, Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou have been able to reveal this secret.
Mokonzi alobaki na Daniele: « Solo, Nzambe na bino azali Nzambe ya banzambe, Nkolo ya bakonzi mpe Molakisi mabombami, mpo ete okoki kolakisa mabombami oyo! »
48 Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.
Sima, mokonzi atombolaki Daniele na lokumu oyo eleki likolo mpe apesaki ye bakado mpe bozwi ebele; akomisaki ye moyangeli ya etuka mobimba ya Babiloni mpe mokambi ya bato na yango nyonso ya bwanya.
49 And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon, but Daniel was in the gate of the king.
Daniele asengaki na mokonzi Nabukodonozori ete atia Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego lokola bayangeli ya etuka mobimba ya Babiloni wana ye moko Daniele atikalaki kosala pembeni ya mokonzi.
