Daniel 11
1 And I myself, in the first year of Darius the Mede, took my stand to support and defend him.
Na mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi ya Dariusi, moto ya Medi, nazalaki wana mpo na kosunga mpe kobatela ye.
2 So now let me reveal the truth to you. There are still three kings to come to power in Persia, and then a fourth who will be far richer than all the others. When he becomes strong through his wealth, he will rally the whole kingdom against 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 Then a mighty king will come to power. He will rule with great authority and do whatever he wants.
Kasi mokonzi moko ya nguya koleka akobima mpe akokamba na nguya nyonso, akosala makambo oyo alingi.
4 But as he extends his power his kingdom will be broken up, divided towards the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, and it will not be ruled as he ruled. It will be pulled up and given to others.
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 The king of the south will grow strong, but one of his officers will grow even stronger and will rule his kingdom with great authority.
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 Some years later they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south will be married to the king of the north to guarantee the peace treaty. However, she will not be able to keep her hold on power, nor will his power continue. She and her attendants will be betrayed, along with her child and husband. Later on, however,
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 a new king of the south from her family will take over. He will come to attack the army of the king of the north and enter his fortress. He will fight against them and will win.
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 In addition he will take back with him to Egypt the idols of their gods, along with their expensive vessels of silver and gold. For some years he will leave the king of the north alone.
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 Then the king of the north will march into the kingdom of the king of the south but will have to retreat to his own land.
Mokonzi ya nor akokota na makasi kati na mokili ya mokonzi ya sude, kasi akozonga na mokili na ye.
10 However, his sons will prepare for war, assembling a huge number of troops. One of them will lead an advance that rushes forward like a river bursting its banks, crossing over and pressing forward to attack the enemy fortress.
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 This will infuriate the king of the south, who will go out into battle against the large army assembled by the king of the north and will defeat it.
Mokonzi ya sude akobima na kanda, akosangisa mampinga moko monene, akobundisa mokonzi ya mokili ya nor mpe akolonga ye.
12 After capturing such a large army, he will become very proud, and will kill thousands. But this triumph will not last long.
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 Years later the king of the north will once again raise an army, even larger than before, and will invade with this huge army, accompanied by plenty of supplies.
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 At the same time many will rebel against the king of the south. Violent men from your own people will rebel in order to fulfill this vision, but they shall fail.
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 Then the king of the north will come and build siege ramps and he will capture a city with strong defenses. The forces of the south will not be able to prevent it—even his best troops won't be able to resist the attack.
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 The invader will do whatever he wants; no one will be able to oppose him. He will stand in the Beautiful Land with the power to destroy it.
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 He will be determined to come with all the power of his kingdom and will make a peace treaty with the king of the south. To secure this he will give him a daughter of women to marry in order to destroy the kingdom. But she will not be successful and will not support 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 Then he will turn to attack the coastlands and will conquer many, but a commander will put a stop to his arrogant behavior, paying him back for it.
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 He will return to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall, and will be gone.
Sima na yango, akozonga na bandako batonga makasi ya mokili na ye, kasi akobeta libaku mpe akokweya; bongo bakotikala komona ye lisusu te.
20 His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain royal wealth. However, in a short time he will die, but not violently or 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 A contemptible person will follow him who will not be given royal majesty. He will take over peacably and assume control of the kingdom through deception.
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 Great armies will be swept away before him. They will be broken, as well as the prince of the agreement.
Mampinga ya banguna bakokweya liboso na ye, mampinga yango mpe mokonzi ya boyokani bakobebisama.
23 After making an alliance with him, he will act deceptively. He will come to power peacably, becoming strong though only having a few supporters.
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 He will invade the richest parts of the land and do what his fathers and forefathers never did—he will distribute plunder, spoil, and possessions. He will make plans to attack fortresses, but only for 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 Then he will draw on his strength and courage to gather a large army against the king of the south. The king of the south will prepare for war. Fighting back with a large and powerful army, but he will not be successful because of plots made 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 Those closest to him will destroy him. His army will be wiped out—many will fall in battle.
Bato oyo baliaka elongo na mokonzi bakoluka koboma ye, mampinga na ye bakobebisama mpe basoda ebele bakokufa na bitumba.
27 The two kings, with evil intentions, will tell each other lies even as they sit together at the same table. But their scheming is pointless—the end will come at the time predicted.
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 The king of the north will return to his own country with all the wealth he has looted. He will be determined to attack the people of the holy agreement, and do all he can to destroy it before returning to his own country.
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 time predicted he will return to invade the south again, but this time it won't be like before.
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 Ships from Cyprus will come to attack him, frightening him off so that he retreats. But this will make him mad, and he will attack the people of the holy agreement, recognizing those who abandon their commitment to the holy agreement.
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 His forces will occupy and defile the Temple fortress. They will put a stop to the continual service, and set up a form of idolatry that causes devastation.
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 The king will use flattery to corrupt those who break the solemn agreement, but the people who know their God will stand firm in their resistance.
Na mayele na ye ya mabe, akokosa bato oyo babukaki boyokani; kasi bato oyo bayebi Nzambe na bango bakotelemela ye makasi.
33 Wise leaders of the people will teach many, though for a time they will be killed by sword and fire, or they will be imprisoned and robbed.
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 During this time of persecution they will receive a little help, and many who join them won't be sincere.
Tango bakokweya, bakozwa kaka lisungi moke, mpe bato ebele bakoya kosangana na bango na mitema mibale.
35 Some of the wise will be killed, so that they may be refined and purified and cleansed until the time of the end, for the predicted time is still to come.
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 The king will do whatever he wants, praising himself and considering himself greater than any god, even saying outrageous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of anger has finished, for what has been decided will be accomplished.
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 He will have no time for the gods of his forefathers, nor for the one loved by women, nor for any other god, for he considers himself greater than any of these.
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 Instead he will honor the god of fortresses—a god unknown to his forefathers—giving him offerings of gold and silver and precious stones and expensive gifts.
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 He will deal with strong fortresses with the help of this foreign god. He will give riches to those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over the people, and distributing the land at a price.
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 At the time of the end the king of the south will attack him. But the king of the north will retaliate with force like a storm, with chariots and horsemen and many ships. He will advance, sweeping through many lands.
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 He will invade the Beautiful Land and kill many people there. However, Moab, Edom, and most of the Ammonites will escape his power.
Akokota lisusu na makasi na mokili ya kitoko. Bikolo ebele ekokweya, kasi Edomi, Moabi mpe bakonzi ya Amoni bakokima ye.
42 He will extend his attacks against different countries—even the land of Egypt will not be able to escape.
Bokonzi na ye ekopanzana na bikolo ebele, ezala mokili ya Ejipito ekobika te.
43 He will acquire the gold and silver and riches of Egypt, ruling over them and also the Libyans and Ethiopians.
Akobotola wolo, palata mpe bomengo nyonso ya mokili ya Ejipito, bongo bato ya Libi mpe ya Kushi bakosala ndenge moko kaka na ye.
44 But news from the east and the north will alarm him, and in a furious rage he will set out to destroy and exterminate many people.
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 He will set up his royal camp between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. But he will die with no one to 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.
