< Daniel 11 >

1 “And so, from the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood firm, so that he might be reinforced and strengthened.
Na mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi ya Dariusi, moto ya Medi, nazalaki wana mpo na kosunga mpe kobatela ye.
2 And now I will announce to you the truth. Behold, up to a certain point, three kings will stand in Persia, and the fourth will be exceedingly enriched in power above them all. And when he has grown strong by his resources, he will stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
Sik’oyo, nakoloba na yo solo ya likambo: « Bakonzi misato bakobima lisusu mpo na Persi; bongo mokonzi ya minei akobima lisusu, kasi akoleka bakonzi nyonso oyo bayaki liboso na ye na bomengo. Tango bomengo na ye ekopesa ye nguya, akosala ete bato nyonso batombokela Grese.
3 But there will rise up a strong king, and he will rule with great power, and he will do what he pleases.
Kasi mokonzi moko ya nguya koleka akobima mpe akokamba na nguya nyonso, akosala makambo oyo alingi.
4 And when he has been firmly established, his kingdom will be shattered and will be divided towards the four winds of the heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom will be torn to pieces, even for the outsiders who have been expelled from these.
Sima na kolendisama ya bokonzi na ye, mokili na ye ekobebisama mpe ekopanzana bipai na bipai; bakitani na ye bakozwa lisusu bokonzi te mpe mokili yango ekozala lisusu na nguya te, pamba te bakobotola yango mpe bakokaba yango na bato mosusu.
5 And the king of the South will be reinforced, yet one of his leaders will prevail over him, and he will rule with riches, for great is his domain.
Mokonzi ya sude akokoma makasi koleka, kasi moko ya bakonzi na ye ya basoda akokoma lisusu makasi koleka ye mpe akotambolisa mokili na nguya makasi koleka.
6 And after the end of years, they will form a federation, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to make friendship, but she will not obtain the strength of arms, neither will her offspring stand firm, and she will be handed over, along with those who brought her, her young men, and those who comforted her in these times.
Sima na mibu ebele, akosala boyokani elongo na bakonzi mosusu. Mwana mwasi ya mokonzi ya sude akokende kosala boyokani elongo na mokonzi ya nor, kasi akobatela bokonzi na ye te, mpe bakitani na ye bakowumela te. Na mikolo wana, akokufa, ye elongo na bato oyo bamemaki ye na bokonzi, tata na ye mpe mosungi na ye.
7 And a transplant from the germination of her roots will stand up, and he will come with an army, and will enter into the province of the king of the North, and he will abuse them, and will hold it fast.
Moko kati na bakitani na ye akobima mpe akozwa esika na ye; akobundisa mampinga ya mokonzi ya nor mpe akokota kati na engumba na ye, oyo batonga makasi; akobundisa bango mpe akolonga bango.
8 And, in addition, he will carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven images, and likewise their precious vessels of gold and silver. He will prevail against the king of the North.
Akozwa banzambe na bango ya bikeko, bikeko na bango oyo basala na bibende, biloko na bango ya motuya oyo basala na wolo mpe na palata mpe akomema yango na Ejipito. Akozala mosika ya mokonzi ya nor na mwa mibu.
9 And the king of the South will enter into the kingdom, and will return to his own land.
Mokonzi ya nor akokota na makasi kati na mokili ya mokonzi ya sude, kasi akozonga na mokili na ye.
10 But his sons will be challenged, and they will assemble a multitude of very many forces. And he will arrive rushing and overflowing. And he will be turned back, and he will be enraged, and he will join the battle in his redness.
Bana ya mokonzi ya nor bokobongama mpo na bitumba mpe bakosangisa mampinga ya basoda ebele, bongo bakomema lokola mpela biloko nyonso oyo bakomona na nzela; bakobunda bitumba makasi kino na ndako batonga makasi ya mokonzi ya sude.
11 And the king of the South, having being challenged, will go forth and will fight against the king of the North, and he will prepare an exceedingly great multitude, and a multitude will be given into his hand.
Mokonzi ya sude akobima na kanda, akosangisa mampinga moko monene, akobundisa mokonzi ya mokili ya nor mpe akolonga ye.
12 And he will seize a multitude, and his heart will be exalted, and he will cast down many thousands, but he will not prevail.
Tango bakolonga mampinga ya mokonzi ya nor, mokonzi ya mokili ya sude akotondisama na lolendo mpe akoboma bato ebele, kasi elonga na ye ekowumela te.
13 For the king of the North will change strategy and will prepare a multitude much greater than before, and at the end of times and years, he will rush forward with a great army and exceedingly great resources.
Pamba te mokonzi ya mokili ya nor akosangisa mampinga monene ya basoda koleka oyo ya liboso mpe, sima na mibu ebele, akozonga elongo na mampinga ya basoda ebele mpe na bibundeli ebele.
14 And in those times, many will rise up against the king of the South. And likewise the sons of the deceivers among your people will extol themselves, so as to fulfill the vision, and they will collapse.
Na tango wana, bato ebele bakotombokela mokonzi ya mokili ya sude. Bato ya mobulu kati na bato na yo, Daniele, bakotomboka mpo ete emoniseli ekokokisama, kasi bakolonga te.
15 And the king of the North will arrive and will transport siege works, and he will seize the most fortified cities. And the arms of the South will not withstand him, and his elect will rise up to resist, but the strength will not.
Mokonzi ya mokili ya nor akoya kotonga mwa bangomba ya mabele zingazinga ya engumba oyo batonga makasi mpe akobotola yango. Mampinga ya basoda ya mokonzi ya sude bakokoka kobundisa ye te. Ezala basoda na bango ya mpiko, bakozala ata na makasi ya kobunda te.
16 And when he arrives, he will do just as he pleases, and there will be none who stand against his face. And he will stand in the illustrious land, and it will be consumed by his hand.
Mokonzi ya nor akosala makambo nyonso oyo alingi mpe moto moko te akokoka kotelema liboso na ye. Akovanda na mokili oyo eleki kitoko mpe akobebisa yango.
17 And he will set his face to strive to hold his entire kingdom, and he will make fair conditions with him. And he will give him a daughter among women, so as to overthrow it. But she will not stand, neither will she be for him.
Akozwa mokano ya koya elongo na mampinga ya mokili na ye mobimba mpe akosala boyokani elongo na mokonzi ya sude. Mokonzi ya nor akopesa ye mwana na ye ya mwasi na libala mpo ete akoka kobebisa mokili na ye, kasi mabongisi na ye ekolonga te mpe akozwa mokili yango te.
18 And he will turn his face towards the islands, and he will seize many. And he will cause the leader of his reproach to cease, and his reproach will be turned around for him.
Akokitela bisanga mpe akobotola ebele kati na yango. Kasi atako bongo, mokonzi ya mampinga moko ya basoda akosukisa lolendo na ye mpe akozongisela ye mabe mpo na lolendo na ye. Mokonzi ya nor akokoka lisusu kosala eloko moko te.
19 And he will turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he will strike, and will overthrow, but he will not succeed.
Sima na yango, akozonga na bandako batonga makasi ya mokili na ye, kasi akobeta libaku mpe akokweya; bongo bakotikala komona ye lisusu te.
20 And there will stand up in his place one who is most worthless and unworthy of kingly honor. And in a short time, he will be worn out, but not in fury, nor in battle.
Mokitani na ye akotinda mofutisi mpako moko na esika oyo eleki lokumu kati na mokili. Sima na mwa mikolo, mokonzi mpe akobebisama, kasi ekozala na botomboki te mpe na bitumba te.
21 And there will stand up in his place the despicable one, and he will not be assigned the honor of a king. And he will arrive in secret, and he will obtain the kingdom by deceitfulness.
Moto moko azanga ata tina mpe batikala kopesa ata lokumu ya bokonzi te akokitana na ye; akoya na tango ya kimia mpe akozwa bokonzi na nzela ya mayele mabe.
22 And the arms of the fighting will be assaulted before his face and will be shattered, and, in addition, the leader of the federation.
Mampinga ya banguna bakokweya liboso na ye, mampinga yango mpe mokonzi ya boyokani bakobebisama.
23 And, after making friends, he will trick him, and he will go up and will overcome with a small people.
Atako basalaki boyokani elongo na ye, akosalela kaka mayele mabe; akobebisa boyokani oyo basalaki, akobundisa bango mpe akolonga na nzela ya bato moke kaka.
24 And he will enter into rich and resourceful cities, and he will do what his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and will form a plan against the most steadfast, and this until a time.
Na tango ya kimia, akokota na makasi kati na bituka oyo etonda na bomengo mpe akokokisa makambo oyo ata moko te kati na batata to bakoko na ye batikala kosala: akobotola na makasi biloko mpe bomengo ya mokili, bongo akokabola yango epai na bato na ye; akosala mabongisi ya kobundisa bingumba batonga makasi, kasi nyonso wana kaka ekowumela tango moke.
25 And his strength and his heart will be enraged against the king of the South with a great army. And the king of the South will be provoked into going to war by having many allies and exceedingly good circumstances, and yet these will not stand, for they will form plans against him.
Akovandisa makanisi na ye mpe akotelema na mpiko, akosangisa mampinga monene mpo na kobundisa mokonzi ya sude. Mpe mokonzi ya sude akosangisa mampinga monene mpe ya nguya mpo na kobundisa ye, kasi akolonga te mpo na likita oyo basalelaki ye.
26 And those who eat bread with him will crush him, and his army will be suppressed, and very many will die, having been executed.
Bato oyo baliaka elongo na mokonzi bakoluka koboma ye, mampinga na ye bakobebisama mpe basoda ebele bakokufa na bitumba.
27 And the heart of two kings will be similar, to do harm, and they will speak lies at one table, but they will not succeed, because as yet the end is for another time.
Bakonzi oyo mibale, na mitema na bango ya mabe, bakovanda esika moko. Lokola batonda na mayele mabe, bakolobana lokuta kasi ekosimba te, pamba te suka ya makambo ekoya kaka na tango oyo ekatama.
28 And he will return to his land with many resources. And his heart will be against the holy testament, and he will act, and he will return to his own land.
Mokonzi ya nor akozonga na mokili na ye na bomengo ebele, kasi makanisi ya motema na ye ekotelemela boyokani ya bule; mpe akokokisa yango liboso ete azonga na mokili na ye.
29 At the appointed time, he will return, and he will approach the South, but the latter time will not be like the former.
Na tango oyo ekatama, akokota lisusu na mokili ya sude na makasi; kasi na mbala oyo, makambo ekosalema ndenge moko te na mbala oyo ya liboso.
30 And the Greek warships and the Romans will come upon him, and he will be pierced, and will retreat, and will have scorn against the testament of the sanctuary, and he will act. And he will return and will consult their adversaries, who have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
Bamasuwa oyo ekowuta na ngambo ya weste ya ebale monene Mediterane ekobundisa ye; bongo, akolemba nzoto, akosilika makasi mpe akotombokela boyokani ya bule. Tango akozonga, akotalisa ngolu epai ya bato oyo bakobebisa boyokani ya bule.
31 And arms will take his side, and they will pollute the sanctuary of the strength, and they will take away the continual sacrifice and will replace it with the abomination of desolation.
Mampinga ya basoda na ye bakotelema mpo na kobebisa bosantu ya Tempelo mpe kobuka engumba batonga makasi; bakopekisa kobonza mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo mpe bakotonga etumbelo mpo na nzambe oyo babengaka Zewusi.
32 And the impious within the testament will imitate deceitfully, but the people, knowing their God, will persevere and will act.
Na mayele na ye ya mabe, akokosa bato oyo babukaki boyokani; kasi bato oyo bayebi Nzambe na bango bakotelemela ye makasi.
33 And the teachers among the people will teach many, but they will be ruined by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by assaults for many days.
Ba-oyo bakozala na bwanya kati na bato bakoteya bato ebele, atako bakokufa na mopanga na mwa tango moke to bakozika na moto to bakobwakama na boloko to mpe bakobotola bango biloko na makasi.
34 And when they have fallen, they will be supported with a little help, but many will apply to them deceitfully.
Tango bakokweya, bakozwa kaka lisungi moke, mpe bato ebele bakoya kosangana na bango na mitema mibale.
35 And some of the learned will be ruined, that they may be kindled and chosen and purified, up to the predetermined time, because there will be still another time.
Bato mosusu kati na bato ya bwanya bakobeta mabaku, mpo ete bakomisama bato ya kokoka, bapetolama mpe bazangi mbeba, mpo na tango ya suka, pamba te suka ya makambo ekoya kaka na tango oyo ekatama.
36 And the king will act according to his will, and he will be lifted up and will be extolled against every god. And he will speak great things against the God of gods, and he will control, until the passion is completed. Once accomplished, the limit is reached with certainty.
Mokonzi akosala makambo oyo alingi, akokoma lolendo, akotombola mapeka liboso ya banzambe nyonso mpe akoloba makambo ezanga tina mpo na kotiola Nzambe ya banzambe; akolonga kino tango kanda makasi ya Nzambe ekosila, pamba te makambo nyonso oyo ekatama esengeli kokokisama.
37 And he will give no thought to the God of his fathers, and he will be in the desire of women, and he will not attend to any gods, because he will rise up against all things.
Akopesa lokumu te, ezala epai ya banzambe ya batata na ye to epai ya nzambe oyo basi balingaka to mpe epai ya banzambe nyonso mosusu; pamba te akomitombola liboso na bango nyonso.
38 But he will do homage to the god Maozim in his place, and, a god whom his fathers did not know, he will worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and costly things.
Na esika ya kosambela banzambe wana, akosambela nzambe ya bandako batonga makasi; akobonza wolo, palata, mabanga ya talo mpe makabo mosusu ya talo epai ya nzambe oyo bakoko na ye batikalaki koyeba te.
39 And he will act to reinforce Maozim with an alien god, of whom he has become aware, and he will increase their glory, and will give them power over many, and he will distribute land for free.
Akobundisa bandako batonga makasi na lisungi ya nzambe moko ya bapaya, mpe akopesa lokumu koleka epai ya bato oyo bakopesa nzambe yango lokumu. Akokomisa bango bakambi ya bato ebele mpe akokabolela bango mokili lokola lifuti.
40 And, at the predetermined time, the king of the South will fight against him, and the king of the North will come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great fleet, and he will enter into the lands, and will crush and pass through.
Na tango ya suka, mokonzi ya sude akobundisa mokonzi ya nor, kasi mokonzi ya nor akobimela ye elongo na bashar, bampunda mpe bamasuwa ya bitumba. Akokota na makasi na bikolo ebele mpe akomema lokola mpela eloko nyonso oyo akomona na nzela.
41 And he will enter into the glorious land, and many will fall. But only these will be saved from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the first part of the sons of Ammon.
Akokota lisusu na makasi na mokili ya kitoko. Bikolo ebele ekokweya, kasi Edomi, Moabi mpe bakonzi ya Amoni bakokima ye.
42 And he will cast his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape.
Bokonzi na ye ekopanzana na bikolo ebele, ezala mokili ya Ejipito ekobika te.
43 And he will rule over the treasure chests of gold, and silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and likewise he will pass through Libya and Ethiopia.
Akobotola wolo, palata mpe bomengo nyonso ya mokili ya Ejipito, bongo bato ya Libi mpe ya Kushi bakosala ndenge moko kaka na ye.
44 And rumors from the East and from the North will trouble him. And he will arrive with a great multitude to destroy and to execute many.
Kasi basango oyo akozwa wuta na este mpe na nor ekotungisa ye, mpe akobima na mokili na kanda makasi mpo na koboma mpe kosilisa bato ebele.
45 And he will fasten his tabernacle, Apadno, between the seas, upon an illustrious and holy mountain, and he will come even to its summit, and no one will help him.”
Akotelemisa bandako na ye ya kapo ya bokonzi na ngambo moko ya ebale monene, pembeni ya ngomba ya bule. Boye, akokoma na suka mpe moto oyo akosunga ye akozala te.
