< Daniel 8 >

1 In the thirde yeere of the reigne of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared vnto mee, euen vnto me Daniel, after that which appeared vnto mee at the first.
Chaka chachitatu cha ulamuliro wa mfumu Belisazara, Ine Danieli, ndinaonanso masomphenya, ena atatha amene anandionekera poyamba.
2 And I saw in a vision, and when I sawe it, I was in the palace of Shushan, which is in the prouince of Elam, and in a vision me thought I was by the riuer of Vlai.
Ndinaona mʼmasomphenya kuti ndinali mu mzinda wotetezedwa wa Susa mʼchigawo cha Elamu. Mʼmasomphenyawo ndinaona nditayima pafupi ndi mtsinje wa Ulai.
3 Then I looked vp and sawe, and beholde, there stoode before the riuer a ramme, which had two hornes: and these two hornes were hie: but one was hier then another, and the hyest came vp last.
Nditakweza maso ndinaona nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri, itayima pafupi ndi mtsinje. Nyanga zakezo zinali zazitali. Nyanga imodzi inali yotalika kuposa inzake, ndipo iyi inaphuka inzakeyo itamera kale.
4 I sawe the ramme pusshing against ye West, and against the North, and against the South: so that no beastes might stande before him, nor could deliuer out of his hand, but he did what he listed, and became great.
Ndinaona nkhosa yayimunayo ikuthamanga mwaukali kupita kumadzulo, kumpoto ndi kummwera. Palibe chirombo chimene chikanatha kulimbana nayo, ndipo palibe akanatha kulanditsa kanthu kwa iyo. Iyo inachita monga inafunira ndipo inali ndi mphamvu zambiri.
5 And as I considered, beholde, a goate came from the West ouer the whole earth, and touched not the grounde: and this goate had an horne that appeared betweene his eyes.
Pamene ndinali kulingalira za zinthu zimenezi, mwadzidzidzi mbuzi yayimuna inatulukira cha kumadzulo, kudutsa dziko lonse lapansi mwaliwiro ikuyenda mʼmalele mokhamokha. Mbuzi yayimunayo inali ndi nyanga yayikulu pakati pa maso ake.
6 And he came vnto the ramme that had the two hornes, whome I had seene standing by the riuer, and ranne vnto him in his fierce rage.
Inabwera molunjika nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri ija imene ndinaona itayima pafupi ndi mtsinje. Ndipo inayithamangira mwaukali.
7 And I saw him come vnto the ramme, and being moued against him, he smote the ramme, and brake his two hornes: and there was no power in the ramme to stand against him, but he cast him downe to the grounde, and stamped vpon him, and there was none that coulde deliuer the ramme out of his power.
Inafika pafupi ndipo inalimbana nayo mwaukali nkhosa yayimuna ija nʼkuthyola nyanga zake ziwiri. Nkhosa yayimunayo inalibenso mphamvu zogonjetsera mbuziyo; choncho mbuzi ija inagwetsa nkhosayo pansi nʼkuyipondaponda, ndipo palibe akanatha kulanditsa nkhosayo kwa mbuziyo.
8 Therefore the goate waxed exceeding great, and when he was at the strongest, his great horne was broken: and for it came vp foure that appeared toward the foure windes of ye heauen.
Mbuziyo inayamba kudzikuza kwambiri chifukwa cha mphamvu zake koma pamene mphamvuzo zinakula kwambiri nyanga yake yayikulu inathyoka, ndipo mʼmalo mwake panamera nyanga zinayi moloza mbali zonse zinayi.
9 And out of one of them came foorth a litle horne, which waxed very great toward the South, and toward the East, and towarde the pleasant land.
Pa imodzi mwa nyangazo panatuluka nyanga imene inali yocheperapo koma inakula kwambiri kuloza kummwera ndi kummawa ndi kuloza dziko lokongola.
10 Yea, it grewe vp vnto the hoste of heauen, and it cast downe some of the hoste, and of the starres to the ground, and trode vpon them,
Inakula mpaka inafikira gulu lankhondo la kumwamba, ndipo inagwetsera ena a gulu lankhondolo ndi ena a gulu la nyenyezi ku dziko lapansi ndi kuwapondaponda.
11 And extolled himselfe against the prince of the hoste from whome the dayly sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his Sanctuarie was cast downe.
Inadzikuza yokha mpaka kufikira kwa mfumu ya gululo: inathetsa nsembe zimene zinkaperekedwa tsiku ndi tsiku, ndipo inagwetsa nyumba yake yopatulika.
12 And a time shall be giuen him ouer the dayly sacrifice for the iniquitie: and it shall cast downe the trueth to the ground, and thus shall it doe, and prosper.
Gulu lake la nkhondo linathetsa nsembe zoperekera machimo za tsiku ndi tsiku; chipembedzo choonadi chinaponderezedwa pansi. Nyangayi inapambana mu zonse zimene inachita.
13 Then I heard one of the Saints speaking, and one of the Saints spake vnto a certaine one, saying, Howe long shall endure the vision of the dayly sacrifice, and the iniquitie of the desolation to treade both the Sanctuarie and the armie vnder foote?
Kenaka ndinamva wina akuyankhula; ndipo woyera winanso anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi zimene ndikuziona mʼmasomphenyazi zidzatha liti? Nsembe zoperekera machimo za tsiku ndi tsiku zidzakhala zoletsedwa mpaka liti? Nanga chonyansa chosokoneza chidzakhalapo mpaka liti? Kodi gulu la ankhondo lidzapondereza malo opatulika mpaka liti?”
14 And he answered me, Vnto the euening and the morning, two thousand and three hundreth: then shall the Sanctuarie be clensed.
Iye anandiyankha kuti, “Zidzachitika patapita masiku 2,300; pambuyo pake malo opatulika adzabwezeretsedwa monga kale.”
15 Nowe when I Daniel had seene the vision, and sought for the meaning, beholde, there stoode before me like the similitude of a man.
Ine Danieli ndikuyangʼanitsitsa masomphenyawa ndi kuyesa kuwazindikira, kuwamvetsa, ndinangoona wina wooneka ngati munthu atayima patsogolo panga.
16 And I heard a mans voyce betweene the bankes of Vlai, which called, and sayde, Gabriel, make this man to vnderstand the vision.
Ndipo ndinamva mawu a munthu kuchokera mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Ulai akuyitana kuti, “Gabrieli, muwuze munthuyu tanthauzo la masomphenyawo.”
17 So he came where I stood: and when hee came, I was afraide, and fell vpon my face: but he sayd vnto me, Vnderstand, O sonne of man: for in the last time shalbe the vision.
Atayandikira kumene ndinayima, ndinachita mantha ndi kugwa chafufumimba. Iye anati, “Mwana wa munthu, zindikira kuti masomphenyawa akunena za nthawi yachimaliziro.”
18 Nowe as he was speaking vnto me, I being a sleepe fell on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me vp in my place.
Pamene ankandiyankhula ndinadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba, nʼkugona tulo tofa nato. Kenaka anandikhudza ndi kundiyimiritsa.
19 And he sayde, Beholde, I will shewe thee what shalbe in the last wrath: for in the end of the time appointed it shall come.
Iye anati, “Ine ndikuwuza zimene zidzachitike ukadzatha mkwiyo, chifukwa masomphenyawa ndi a nthawi ya chimaliziro.”
20 The ramme which thou sawest hauing two hornes, are the Kings of the Medes and Persians.
Nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri imene unayiona, ikuyimira mafumu a Amedi ndi Aperezi.
21 And the goate is the King of Grecia, and the great horne that is betweene his eyes, is the first King.
Mbuzi yayimuna ija ndi mfumu ya Agriki, ndipo nyanga yayikulu pakati pa maso ake aja ndi mfumu yoyamba.
22 And that that is broken, and foure stoode vp for it, are foure kingdomes, which shall stand vp of that nation, but not in his strength.
Kunena za nyanga inathyoka ija ndi nyanga zinayi zimene zinaphuka mʼmalo mwake zikutanthauza maufumu anayi amene adzatuluka mʼdziko lake; koma sizidzafanana mphamvu ndi ufumu woyambawo.
23 And in the end of their kingdome, when the rebellious shalbe consumed, a King of fierce countenance, and vnderstanding darke sentences, shall stand vp.
“Pa masiku otsiriza a maufumuwa, machimo awo atachulukitsa, padzadzuka mfumu yaukali ndi yochenjera kwambiri.
24 And his power shalbe mightie, but not in his strength: and hee shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mightie, and the holy people.
Idzakhala yamphamvu kwambiri koma osati mphamvu za iyo yokha. Idzawononga koopsa ndipo idzapambana mu chilichonse chimene idzachite. Mfumuyi idzawononga anthu amphamvu ndi anthu oyera omwe.
25 And through his policie also, hee shall cause craft to prosper in his hand, and he shall extoll himselfe in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: hee shall also stande vp against the prince of princes, but he shalbe broken downe without hand.
Chifukwa cha kuchenjera kwake chinyengo chidzachuluka pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wake, ndipo idzadzikuza kuposa onse. Pamene oyera mtima adzaona ngati kuti ali otetezedwa, iyo idzawononga ambiri ndi kuwukira ngakhale Mfumu ya mafumu. Komabe idzawonongedwa, koma osati ndi mphamvu za munthu.
26 And the vision of the euening and the morning, which is declared, is true: therefore seale thou vp the vision, for it shall be after many dayes.
“Masomphenya okhudza madzulo ndi mmawa amene unawaona aja ndi woona, koma uwasunge masomphenyawa mwachinsinsi popeza ndi onena za masiku a mʼtsogolo kwambiri.”
27 And I Daniel was striken and sicke certaine dayes: but when I rose vp, I did the Kings busines, and I was astonished at the vision, but none vnderstood it.
Ine Danieli ndinafowoka ndipo ndinadwala masiku angapo. Kenaka ndinadzuka ndi kupitiriza ntchito za mfumu. Ndinada nkhawa ndi masomphenyawo; ndipo sindinathe kuwamvetsa.
