Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar, the king, made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and each one of them drank according to his age.
Mokolo moko, mokonzi Balitazari asalisaki feti moko ya monene mpo na kopesa lokumu na nkoto ya bato na ye ya lokumu; mpe amelaki vino elongo na bango.
2 And so, when they were drunk, he instructed that the vessels of gold and silver should be brought, which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had carried away from the temple, which was in Jerusalem, so that the king, and his nobles, and his wives, and the concubines, might drink from them.
Wana Balitazari azalaki komela vino, apesaki mitindo ete bamema bakopo ya wolo mpe ya palata oyo tata na ye, Nabukodonozori, azwaki wuta na Tempelo ya Yelusalemi, mpo ete mokonzi mpe bato na ye ya lokumu, basi na ye mpe bamakangu na ye bamela na yango masanga.
3 Then the gold and silver vessels were presented, which he had carried away from the temple and which had been in Jerusalem, and the king, and his nobles, wives, and concubines, drank from them.
Boye, bamemaki bakopo ya wolo oyo bazwaki na Tempelo ya Nzambe, na Yelusalemi; bongo mokonzi mpe bato na ye ya lokumu, basi na ye mpe bamakangu na ye bamelaki na yango masanga.
4 They drank wine, and they praised their gods of gold, and silver, brass, iron, and wood and stone.
Wana bazalaki komela vino, bazalaki kokumisa banzambe ya wolo mpe ya palata, ya bronze, ya ebende, ya nzete mpe ya libanga.
5 In the same hour, there appeared fingers, as of the hand of a man, writing on the surface of the wall, opposite the candlestick, in the king’s palace. And the king observed the part of the hand that wrote.
Mbala moko, misapi ya loboko ya moto moko ebimaki mpe ebandaki kokoma na etando ya mir ya ndako ya mokonzi, pembeni ya etelemiselo ya minda. Tango mokonzi amonaki ndenge loboko yango ezalaki kokoma,
6 Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts disturbed him, and he lost his self-control, and his knees knocked against one other.
elongi na ye etelaki na somo mpe makanisi na ye ekomaki kotambola, nzoto na ye mobimba ekomaki kolenga mpe mabolongo na ye ekomaki kotutana.
7 And the king cried out loudly for them to bring in the astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. And the king proclaimed to the wise men of Babylon, saying, “Whoever will read this writing and make known to me its interpretation will be clothed with purple, and will have a golden chain on his neck, and will be third in my kingdom.”
Mokonzi agangaki makasi mpe apesaki mitindo ete bamemela ye banganga-kisi, bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto mpe bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya. Mpe mokonzi alobaki na bato oyo nyonso ya bwanya, ya Babiloni: — Moto nyonso oyo akokoka kotanga makomi oyo mpe akoyebisa ngai ndimbola na yango, nakolatisa ye bilamba ya motane mpe sheneti ya wolo na kingo, mpe akozala kalaka ya lokumu kati na bokonzi.
8 Then, in came all the wise men of the king, but they could neither read the writing, nor reveal the interpretation to the king.
Bato nyonso ya bwanya ya mokonzi bakotaki na kati, kasi bakokaki te kotanga makomi wana to koyebisa mokonzi ndimbola na yango.
9 Therefore, king Belshazzar was quite confused, and his face was altered, and even his nobles were disturbed.
Boye, mokonzi Balitazari akomaki lisusu na somo makasi koleka, mpe elongi na ye etelaki lisusu koleka; mpe bato na ye ya lokumu bakomaki komitungisa.
10 But the queen, because of what had happened to the king and his nobles, entered the banquet house. And she spoke out, saying, “O king, live forever. Do not let your thoughts confuse you, neither should your face be altered.
Tango mama ya mokonzi ayokaki basango ya makambo oyo ekomelaki mokonzi mpe bato na ye ya lokumu, akotaki na ndako epai wapi bazalaki kosalela feti; alobaki: — Oh mokonzi, tika ete owumela na bomoi seko na seko! Komitungisa te mpe kotika te ete elongi na yo etela!
11 There is a man in your kingdom, who has the spirit of the holy gods within himself, and in the days of your father, knowledge and wisdom were found in him. For king Nebuchadnezzar, your father, appointed him leader of the astrologers, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, even your father, I say to you, O king.
Ezali na moto moko kati na mokili na yo, oyo azali na molimo ya banzambe ya bule kati na ye. Tango tata na yo azalaki mokonzi, amonaki kati na ye bososoli, mayele mpe bwanya oyo ekokana na bwanya ya banzambe. Boye, tata na yo, mokonzi Nabukodonozori, akomisaki ye mokonzi ya banganga-kisi, ya bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto mpe ya bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya.
12 For a greater spirit, and foresight, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and the revealing of secrets, and the solution to difficulties were found in him, that is, in Daniel, to whom the king gave the name Belteshazzar. Now, therefore, let Daniel be summoned, and he will explain the interpretation.”
Pamba te moto yango, Daniele, oyo tata na yo azalaki kobenga Belitsatsari, atondisama na mayele, na boyebi mpe na bososoli; azali lisusu na makoki ya kolimbola ndoto, masese mpe ya kopesa biyano na makambo ya makasi. Benga kaka Daniele wana, mpe akoyebisa yo ndimbola ya makomi yango.
13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke to him, saying, “Are you Daniel, of the sons of the captivity of Judah, whom my father the king led out of Judea?
Boye, bamemaki Daniele liboso ya mokonzi. Mokonzi atunaki ye: — Yo nde Daniele, moko kati na bawumbu oyo tata na ngai amemaki wuta na Yuda?
14 I have heard of you, that you have the spirit of the gods, and that greater knowledge, as well as understanding and wisdom, have been found in you.
Nayoki na tina na yo ete ozali na molimo ya banzambe kati na yo, mpe ete ozali na bososoli, na mayele mpe na bwanya ya kokamwa!
15 And now the wise astrologers have entered into my presence, so as to read this writing and to reveal to me its interpretation. And they were not able to tell me the meaning of this writing.
Bato ya bwanya mpe banganga-kisi bawuti awa liboso na ngai mpo na kotanga makomi oyo mpe koyebisa ngai ndimbola na yango, kasi balongi te kopesa ndimbola yango.
16 Furthermore, I have heard about you that you can interpret obscure things and solve difficulties. So then, if you succeed in reading the writing, and in revealing its interpretation, you will be clothed with purple, and you will have a chain of gold around your neck, and you will be the third leader in my kingdom.”
Nzokande, nayoki ete yo ozali na makoki ya kolimbola mpe ya kopesa biyano na makambo ya makasi; sik’oyo, soki olongi kotanga makomi oyo mpe opesi ngai ndimbola na yango, nakolatisa yo bilamba ya motane mpe sheneti ya wolo na kingo, mpe okokoma moto ya misato kati na molongo ya bayangeli ya mokili na ngai ya bokonzi.
17 To this Daniel responded by saying directly to the king, “Your rewards should be for yourself, and the gifts of your house you may give to another, but I will read to you the writing, O king, and I will reveal to you its interpretation.
Daniele azongiselaki mokonzi: — Batela bakado na yo mpo na yo moko mpe pesa lifuti na yo epai ya moto mosusu! Kasi ngai, nazali kotanga makomi yango mpo na mokonzi; bongo, nakopesa ye ndimbola na yango.
18 O king, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, a kingdom and greatness, glory and honor.
Oh mokonzi, Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo apesaki tata na yo, Nabukodonozori, bokonzi; akomisaki ye moto monene mpe apesaki ye nkembo mpe lokumu.
19 And because of the greatness that he gave to him, all peoples, tribes, and languages trembled and were afraid of him. Whomever he wished, he put to death; and whomever he wished, he destroyed; and whomever he wished, he exalted; and whomever he wished, he lowered.
Mpo na lokumu oyo apesaki ye, bato ya bikolo, ya mikili mpe ya nkota nyonso bakomaki kolenga na somo liboso na ye. Mokonzi azalaki koboma bato oyo azalaki na posa ya koboma, kobikisa bato oyo azalaki na posa ya kobikisa, kotombola bato oyo azalaki na posa ya kotombola mpe kosambwisa bato oyo azalaki na posa ya kosambwisa.
20 But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened in arrogance, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom and his glory was taken away.
Kasi tango kaka motema na ye ekomaki na lofundu mpe na lolendo, akitisamaki wuta na kiti na ye ya bokonzi mpe babotolaki ye nkembo na ye.
21 And he was expelled from the sons of men, and so his heart was placed with the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys, and he ate hay like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he realized that the Most High holds power over the kingdom of men, and that whoever he wishes, he will set over it.
Babenganaki ye na molongo ya bato mpe bapesaki ye mayele ya banyama; akomaki kovanda elongo na ba-ane ya zamba, kolia matiti lokola bangombe mpe nzoto na ye ezalaki kopola na mamwe ya tongo, kino tango asosolaki ete Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo azali Nkolo ya bokonzi nyonso ya bato mpe atombolaka na bokonzi moto nyonso oyo Ye alingi.
22 Likewise, you, his son Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all these things.
Mpe yo Balitazari, mwana na ye ya mobali, atako oyebaki makambo wana nyonso, otamboli na komikitisa te.
23 But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. And the vessels of his house have been presented before you. And you, and your nobles, and your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. Likewise, you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, and brass, iron, and wood and stone, who neither see, nor hear, nor feel, yet you have not glorified the God who holds your breath and all your ways in his hand.
Otomboli mapeka na yo mpo na kotelemela Yawe ya Lola, oyeisi epai na yo bakopo oyo ewutaki na Tempelo na Ye; bongo yo, bato na yo ya lokumu, basi na yo mpe bamakangu na yo, bomeli na yango masanga ya vino mpe bokumisi banzambe ya palata mpe ya wolo, ya bronze mpe ya ebende, ya nzete mpe ya mabanga, oyo emonaka te, eyokaka te mpe esosolaka te. Kasi opesi lokumu te na Nzambe oyo, kati na loboko na Ye, asimbi bomoi mpe banzela na yo nyonso.
24 Therefore, he has sent the part of the hand which has written this, which has been inscribed.
Yango wana, atindi loboko oyo ekomi makomi oyo.
25 But this is the writing that has been decreed: MANE, THECEL, PHARES.
Tala makomi oyo ekomami: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.
26 And this is the interpretation of the words. MANE: God has numbered your kingdom and has finished it.
Ndimbola ya maloba yango ezali: Mene: Nzambe atangi mikolo ya bokonzi na yo mpe akomisi yango na suka;
27 THECEL: you have been weighed on the scales and found lacking.
Tekel: bameki kilo na yo na emekelo kilo, mpe emonani ete ozali na yo pepele;
28 PHARES: your kingdom has been divided and has been given to the Medes and the Persians.
Parsin: bokonzi na yo ekabwani mpe epesami epai ya bato ya Medi mpe ya Persi.
29 Then, by the king’s command, Daniel was dressed with purple, and a chain of gold was placed around his neck, and it was proclaimed of him that he held power as the third in the kingdom.
Mbala moko, Balitazari apesaki mitindo ete balatisa Daniele bilamba ya motane, sheneti ya wolo na kingo mpe batatola na tina na ye ete akomi moto ya misato kati na molongo ya bayangeli ya bokonzi.
30 That same night, king Belshazzar the Chaldean was killed.
Mpe kaka na butu wana, babomaki Balitazari, mokonzi ya bato ya Babiloni.
31 And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two years.
Dariusi, moto ya Medi, akomaki mokonzi tango akokisaki mibu tuku motoba na mibale ya mbotama.
