< Daniel 10 >

1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true, even a great warfare; and he gave heed to the word, and had understanding of the vision.
Na mobu ya misato ya bokonzi ya Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi, Nzambe alakisaki makambo epai ya Daniele oyo bazalaki kobenga Belitsatsari. Makambo yango ezalaki ya solo: etalisaki pasi makasi oyo ekoya. Daniele azwaki mayele ya kososola yango kati na emoniseli.
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three whole weeks.
Na tango wana, ngai Daniele, nasalaki matanga oyo esalaki baposo misato.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Nazalaki kolia lisusu bilei ya kitoko te; ezala misuni to vino, eloko moko te ekotaki lisusu na monoko na ngai. Mpe, na baposo misato wana, nazalaki kopakola lisusu mafuta ya solo kitoko te.
4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Tigris,
Na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya liboso, tango nazalaki pembeni ya ebale monene Tigre,
5 I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz;
natombolaki miso na ngai na likolo mpe namonaki moto moko alata bilamba ya lino mpe mokaba moko ya wolo ya Ufazi na loketo na ye.
6 his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Nzoto na ye ezalaki kongenga lokola topaze, elongi na ye ezalaki kongala lokola mokalikali, miso na ye ezalaki kopela lokola moto, maboko mpe makolo na ye ezalaki kongenga lokola ebende ya bronze oyo balekisa na moto, mpe mongongo na ye ezalaki koyokana lokola makelele ya bato ebele.
7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision; for the men that were with me saw not the vision; howbeit a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Ngai, Daniele, ngai moko kaka nde namonaki emoniseli yango. Bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ngai bamonaki yango te, kasi somo makasi ekweyelaki bango, bakimaki mpe babombamaki.
8 So that I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
Boye, natikalaki kaka ngai moko mpe nakomaki kotala emoniseli monene yango; makasi esilaki ngai, elongi na ngai ebebaki makasi mpe nalembaki nzoto.
9 Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Nayokaki moto yango koloba; bongo wana nazalaki koyoka mongongo na ye, nakweyaki makalikali, elongi kino na mabele.
10 And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me tottering upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
Loboko moko esimbaki ngai mpe etelemisaki ngai, makolo mpe maboko na ngai ekomaki kolenga.
11 And he said unto me: 'O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, give heed unto the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for now am I sent unto thee'; and when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
Bongo moto yango alobaki na ngai: — Daniele, molingami ya Nzambe, yoka malamu maloba oyo nazali koyebisa yo mpe telema na esika oyo ozali, pamba te natindami sik’oyo epai na yo. Wana azalaki nanu koloba na ngai, natelemaki na kolenga.
12 Then said he unto me: 'Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard; and I am come because of thy words.
Akobaki koloba na ngai: — Daniele, kobanga te! Wuta mokolo ya liboso oyo ozwaki makanisi ya koluka kososola mpe komikitisa liboso ya Nzambe na yo, libondeli na yo eyokamaki, mpe nayaki lokola eyano na libondeli yango.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left over there beside the kings of Persia.
Kasi mokambi ya mokili ya Persi atelemelaki ngai mikolo tuku mibale na moko. Boye, Misheli, moko kati na bakonzi ya ba-anjelu, ayaki kosunga ngai, pamba te bakonzi ya Persi bakangaki ngai kuna.
14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the end of days; for there is yet a vision for the days.'
Sik’oyo, nayei kolimbolela yo makambo oyo ekokomela bato na yo na mikolo ekoya, pamba te emoniseli oyo ezali kolobela lisusu makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo ekoya.
15 And when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
Wana azalaki koloba na ngai, nakitisaki elongi mpe nakokaki lisusu koloba te.
16 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said unto him that stood before me: 'O my lord, by reason of the vision my pains are come upon me, and I retain no strength.
Boye, ekelamu oyo ezalaki lokola moto esimbaki bibebu na ngai, mpe nakokaki lisusu kofungola monoko na ngai mpo na koloba. Nalobaki na ekelamu oyo etelemaki liboso na ngai: — Nkolo na ngai, molimo na ngai etungisami likolo ya emoniseli oyo nasili kozwa, mpe, ngai moto, nalembi nzoto!
17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.'
Ndenge nini mosali lokola ngai, nakoka solo kosolola na yo, nkolo na ngai, awa makasi esili ngai mpe kopema na ngai ekomi na pasi?
18 Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.
Ekelamu oyo ezalaki lokola moto esimbaki ngai lisusu mpe epesaki ngai makasi.
19 And he said: 'O man greatly beloved, fear not! peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.' And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said: 'Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.'
Elobaki na ngai: — Molingami ya Nzambe, kobanga te, zala na kimia! Zala makasi; solo, zala makasi! Wana ezalaki koloba na ngai, nzoto na ngai ezwaki lisusu makasi mpe nalobaki: — Loba, nkolo na ngai, pamba te opesi ngai makasi.
20 Then said he: Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.
Boye, elobaki: — Boni, oyebi mpo na nini nayei epai na yo? Sik’oyo, nakomi pene ya kozonga mpo na kobundisa mokambi ya Persi; mpe tango ngai nakokende, mokambi ya Grese akoya;
21 Howbeit I will declare unto thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth; and there is none that holdeth with me against these, except Michael your prince.
kasi liboso na nyonso, nakoyebisa yo makambo oyo ekomami kati na buku ya solo. Moto moko te asungaka ngai liboso na bango; kaka Misheli, mokambi na bino.
