Daniel 8
1 In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign I, Daniel, saw another vision after the one I had seen previously.
Na mobu ya misato ya bokonzi ya mokonzi Balitazari, ngai, Daniele, nazwaki emoniseli moko ya sika, sima na oyo nazwaki liboso.
2 In my vision I looked around and saw I was in the castle at Susa in the province of Elam. In the vision I was beside the River Ulai.
Kati na emoniseli yango, nazalaki kotala mpe namimonaki lokola kati na Size, engumba batonga makasi, kati na etuka ya Elami; kati na emoniseli yango kaka, namimonaki lisusu lokola natelemi pembeni ya moluka Ulayi.
3 I looked around and saw a ram standing beside the river. It had two long horns, one longer than the other, even though the longer one had grown last.
Natombolaki miso na ngai na likolo mpe namonaki, liboso na ngai, meme moko ya mobali etelemi pembeni ya moluka; ezalaki na maseke mibale ya milayi makasi, kasi moko kati na maseke yango, oyo ebotaki sima, elekaki mosusu na molayi.
4 I watched the ram charging west, north, and south. No animal could stand up to it—nor was there any chance of rescue from its power. It did whatever it wanted and grew powerful.
Bongo, namonaki meme ya mobali ezali kobeta na ngambo ya weste, ya nor mpe na sude. Nyama moko te ekokaki kobundisa yango mpe moto moko te akokaki kokangola soki ekangi yango. Ezalaki kosala nyonso oyo yango elingi mpe ezalaki kokola.
5 As I was thinking about what I'd seen, a male goat came in from the west, racing in across the surface of the earth so fast it didn't touch the ground. It had a large, prominent horn between its eyes.
Wana nazalaki kokanisa na tina na yango, ntaba moko ya mobali eyaki wuta na ngambo ya weste; ezalaki kotambola mabele mobimba na kozanga konyata yango. Ntaba yango ya mobali ezalaki na liseke moko ya monene na kati-kati ya miso na yango;
6 It approached the ram with the two horns which I had seen standing beside the river, rushing in to attack in a furious rage.
eyaki kino epai ya meme ya mobali oyo namonaki etelemi pembeni ya moluka mpe ezalaki na maseke mibale; ebetaki yango makasi, na maseki te.
7 I watched as the goat charged furiously at the ram, hitting it and breaking off its two horns. The ram did not have the strength to resist the goat's attack. The goat threw the ram to the ground, trampling on it, and there was no possibility of rescuing it from the goat's power.
Namonaki ntaba yango kopusana pene ya meme ya mobali na kanda makasi, ebetaki meme ya mobali mpe ebukaki yango maseke nyonso mibale; meme ezalaki ata na makasi te ya kobundisa ntaba. Boye, ntaba ebwakaki meme na mabele mpe enyataki yango; mpe ezalaki na moto moko te mpo na kobikisa meme ya mobali na maboko ya ntaba wana.
8 The goat grew very powerful, but at the height of its power its large horn was broken off. In its place four large horns came up, pointing to the four winds of heaven.
Ntaba ya mobali ekolaki makasi; kasi tango ekomaki lisusu na nguya makasi, liseke na yango ya monene ebukanaki. Maseke minei ya minene ebotaki na esika ya liseke wana moko mpe etalaki na bangambo minei ya likolo.
9 A little horn came up from one of them, and grew extremely powerful to the south and to the east and to the Beautiful Land.
Bongo, wuta na moko kati na maseke nyonso minei, liseke moko ya moke ebimaki. Ekolaki makasi, mpe nguya na yango ekomaki na ngambo ya sude, ya este mpe na ngambo ya Mokili oyo eleki kitoko.
10 It grew in power until it reached the heavenly army, throwing some of them and some of the stars down to the earth and trampled on them.
Ekolaki lisusu kino na mampinga ya likolo, ebwakaki na mabele ndambo ya mampinga yango mpe ndambo ya minzoto, mpe enyataki yango.
11 It even tried to make itself as great as the Prince of the heavenly army—it removed the continual service, and the place of his sanctuary was destroyed.
Emitombolaki kino kotia tembe na Mokonzi ya mampinga, elongolaki mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo na losambo mpe ebebisaki Esika na Ye ya bule elongo na miboko na yango.
12 An army of people and the continual service were handed over to it because of rebellion, and it overthrew truth, and it was successful in everything it did.
Likolo ya botomboki ya bato liboso ya Nzambe, mampinga ya likolo ekomaki na se ya bokonzi ya liseke elongo na mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo. Liseke yango ezalaki kolonga na makambo nyonso oyo ezalaki kosala mpe ebwakaki solo na mabele.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one asked the one who was speaking, “How long is this vision for—the removal of the continual service, the rebellion that causes devastation, the handing over of the sanctuary and the army of people to be trampled down?”
Nayokaki mosantu moko koloba, mpe mosantu mosusu kotuna ye: — Makambo oyo etalisami na emoniseli ekosala mikolo boni? Mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo ekopesama lisusu te mikolo boni? Botomboki oyo ememaka pasi ekosala mikolo boni? Mikolo boni Esika ya bule mpe mampinga ekotiama na se ya matambe?
14 He replied, “For two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings, then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
Alobaki na ngai: — Ekosalema bapokwa nkoto moko na nkama moko na tuku mitano mpe batongo nkoto moko na nkama moko na tuku mitano; sima na yango nde Esika ya bule ekobulisama lisusu mpo na losambo.
15 As I, Daniel, tried to work out what this vision meant suddenly I saw someone who looked like a man standing in front of me.
Wana ngai, Daniele, nazalaki komona emoniseli yango na makanisi mpe koluka kososola yango, namonaki lokola moto moko atelemi liboso na ngai.
16 I also heard a human voice calling from the River Ulai, “Gabriel, explain to this man the meaning of the vision.”
Nayokaki mongongo moko lokola ya moto wuta na kati-kati ya moluka Ulayi; ezalaki kobelela: — Gabrieli, limbolela moto oyo emoniseli.
17 As he approached me, I was terrified and fell face down before him. “Son of man,” he told me, “You need to understand that this vision refers to the time of the end.”
Lokola azalaki kopusana pene ya esika oyo nazalaki, nakomaki na somo mpe nakweyaki elongi kino na mabele. Alobaki na ngai: — Mwana na moto, sosola malamu ete emoniseli oyo etali makambo ya suka ya tango.
18 As he spoke to me I lost consciousness as I laid face down on the ground. But he took hold of me and helped me to my feet.
Wana azalaki koloba na ngai, nakomaki na pongi moko ya makasi, mpe nakweyaki elongi kino na mabele; kasi asimbaki ngai mpe atelemisaki ngai, kaka na esika oyo nazalaki.
19 He told me, “Pay attention! I'm going to explain to you what's going to happen during the time of anger, which refers to the appointed time of the end.
Bongo, alobaki na ngai: — Nakoyebisa yo makambo oyo ekosalema na sima na tango ya kanda ya Nzambe, pamba te emoniseli oyo etali tango oyo ekatama mpo na mikolo ya suka.
20 The ram with two horns that you saw symbolizes the kings of Media and Persia.
Maseke mibale ya meme ya mobali oyo omonaki ezali kolakisa bakonzi ya Medi mpe ya Persi.
21 The male goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is its first king.
Ntaba mobali ya bapwale ebele ezali mokonzi ya Grese, mpe liseke monene oyo ezali na kati-kati ya miso na yango ezali mokonzi ya liboso.
22 The four horns that came up in place of the large horn that was broken represent the four kingdoms that arose from that nation, but not as powerful as the first.
Tango liseke yango ebukanaki, maseke minei ebimaki na esika na yango: ezali kolakisa ete babokonzi minei ekobima wuta na ekolo oyo, kasi nguya na yango ekokokana te.
23 When those kingdoms come to an end, when their sins have reached their fullest extent, a ferocious and treacherous kingdom will rise to power.
Na suka ya bokonzi na yango, tango batomboki bakokolisa mabe na bango kino na suka, mokonzi moko ya motema makasi mpe ya mayele mabe akobima;
24 It will become very powerful but not by its own power. It will be terribly destructive, and will succeed in everything it does. It will destroy great leaders and God's dedicated people.
akokoma makasi koleka, kasi na nguya na ye moko te. Akobebisa mokili na ndenge ya kokamwa mpe akolonga na makambo nyonso oyo akosala; akoboma bato ya makasi mpe basantu.
25 Through its deviousness, its lies will be convincing and successful. It shows its arrogance both in thought and action, destroying those who thought they were perfectly safe. It even fights in opposition against the Prince of princes, but it will be defeated, though not by any human power.
Na mayele mabe na ye, akolonga kokosa bato ebele mpe akokoma na motema ya lofundu; akoboma bato ebele oyo bazalaki na bango na kimia mpe akotelemela Mokambi ya bakambi, kasi akobebisama na nguya ya moto te.
26 The vision about the evenings and mornings that has been explained to you is true, but for now seal up this vision because it refers to the distant future.”
Emoniseli ya bapokwa mpe ya batongo oyo epesamelaki yo ezali ya solo, kasi bomba yango malamu, pamba te etali makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo ekoya.
27 After this, I, Daniel, became exhausted, and I was sick for days. Then I got up and went back to working for the king, but I was devastated at what I'd seen in vision and I couldn't understand it.
Ngai, Daniele, nalembaki penza nzoto mpe nabelaki mikolo ebele. Sima na yango, natelemaki mpe nazongelaki kolandela misala ya mokonzi. Emoniseli oyo nazwaki ekamwisaki ngai mpe nazalaki kososola yango te.
