< Daniel 10 >
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing [was] true, but the time appointed [was] long: and he understood the thing, 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 full 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] Hiddekel;
Na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya liboso, tango nazalaki pembeni ya ebale monene Tigre,
5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain 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 lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished 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; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that 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 Therefore 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 in a deep sleep on my face, and 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, an hand touched me, which set me 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, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. 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 thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for 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 remained there with 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 latter days: for yet the vision [is] for [many] 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 such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became 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 spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained 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 the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is 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 came again and touched me [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 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 am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia 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 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and [there is] none that holdeth with me in these things, but 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.
