Daniel 2
1 In the second year of [his] reign Nabuchodonosor dreamed a dream, and his spirit was amazed, and his sleep departed from him.
Na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi na ye, Nabukodonozori alotaki ndoto. Molimo na ye etungisamaki makasi mpe pongi ekimaki ye.
2 And the king gave orders to call the enchanters, and the magicians, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they came and stood before the king.
Mokonzi abengisaki bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya, banganga-kisi, bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto mpe bato ya mayele ya mabe mpo ete bayebisa ye ndoto oyo alotaki. Tango bayaki, batelemaki liboso ya mokonzi;
3 And the king said to them, I have dreamed, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
mpe mokonzi ayebisaki bango: — Nalotaki ndoto moko oyo ezali kotungisa molimo na ngai makasi; nazali na posa ya koyeba ndimbola na yango.
4 And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, [saying], O king, live for ever: do you tell the dream to your servants, and we will declare the interpretation.
Bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto balobaki na lokota ya bato ya Arami: — Tika ete mokonzi awumela na bomoi seko na seko! Yebisa ndoto na yo epai ya basali na yo, mpe tokolimbola yango.
5 The king answered the Chaldeans, The thing has departed from me: if you do not make known to me the dream and the interpretation, you shall be destroyed, and your houses shall be spoiled.
Mokonzi alobaki na bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto: — Tala mokano oyo nasili kozwa: « Soki boyebisi ngai te ndoto oyo nalotaki mpe ndimbola na yango, nakokata bino biteni-biteni mpe nakobuka-buka bandako na bino.
6 But if you make known to me the dream, and the interpretation thereof, you shall receive of me gifts and presents and much honor: only tell me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
Kasi soki boyebisi mpe bopesi ngai ndimbola na yango, nakopesa bino bakado, lifuti mpe lokumu mingi. Yango wana, boyebisa ngai ndoto yango mpe bopesa ngai ndimbola na yango. »
7 They answered the second time, and said, Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will declare the interpretation.
Bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto balobaki lisusu epai ya mokonzi: — Tika ete mokonzi ayebisa ndoto na ye, mpe biso, tokolimbolela ye yango!
8 And the king answered and said, I verily know that you are trying to gain time, because you see that the thing has gone from me.
Mokonzi azongisaki: — Nandimi solo ete bozali kolekisa tango, pamba te boyebi malamu ete nakobongola mokano na ngai te.
9 If then you do not tell me the dream, I know that you have concerted to utter before me a false and corrupt tale, until the time shall have past: tell me my dream, and I shall know that you will also declare to me the interpretation thereof.
Soki boyebisi ngai ndoto yango te, boyeba malamu ete etumbu moko kaka mpe ya ndenge moko ezali kozela bino! Ah, boyokani koyebisa ngai makambo ya lokuta mpe ya mabe mpo bokanisi ete makambo ekobongwana! Mpo na yango, boyebisa ngai ndoto yango, mpe nakondima ete bozali na makoki ya kolimbola yango.
10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is no man upon the earth, who shall be able to make known the king's matter: forasmuch as no great king or ruler asks such a question of an enchanter, magician, or Chaldean.
Bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto balobaki na mokonzi: — Moto moko te kati na mokili akokoka kosala makambo oyo mokonzi azali kosenga. Mpe mokonzi moko te, ezala azalaki moto monene to moto na nguya, asila kosenga likambo ya boye epai ya banganga-kisi, epai ya bato ya mayele ya mabe mpe epai ya bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto.
11 For the question which the king asks is difficult, and there is no one else who shall answer it before the king, but the gods, whose dwelling is not with any flesh.
Makambo oyo mokonzi azali kosenga ezali pasi makasi, moto moko te akoki koyebisa mokonzi ndoto na ye; ezali kaka banzambe nde bakoki kosala yango mpo ete bavandaka kati na bato te.
12 Then the king in rage and anger commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Mbala moko, mokonzi asilikaki mpe atombokaki makasi; apesaki mitindo ete baboma bato nyonso ya bwanya ya Babiloni.
13 So the decree went forth, and they began to kill the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to kill [them].
Boye, sango ya mokano ya koboma bato nyonso ya bwanya epanzanaki, mpe batindaki bato koluka Daniele elongo na baninga na ye mpo ete baboma bango.
14 Then Daniel answered [with] counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the royal guard, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon; [saying],
Tango Arioki, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, abimaki mpo na kokende koboma bato ya bwanya ya Babiloni, Daniele asololaki na ye na bwanya mpe na mayele.
15 Chief magistrate of the king, therefore has the preemptory command proceeded from the king? So Arioch made known the matter to Daniel.
Daniele atunaki Arioki: « Mpo na nini mokonzi azwi mokano ya makasi boye? » Bongo Arioki atalisaki Daniele makambo yango.
16 And Daniel entreated the king to give him time, and that he might [thus] declare to the king the interpretation of it.
Tango Daniele ayokaki bongo, akotaki epai ya mokonzi mpe asengaki ye tango mpo ete akoka kopesa ye ndimbola ya ndoto yango;
17 So Daniel went into his house, and made known the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias, his friends.
bongo Daniele azongaki na ndako na ye mpe ayebisaki makambo yango epai ya Anania, Mikaeli mpe Azaria, baninga na ye.
18 And they sought mercies from the God of heaven concerning this mystery; that Daniel and his friends might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Alobaki na bango ete basenga ngolu mpe mawa ya Nzambe ya Lola na tina na mabombami oyo, mpo ete baboma te ye Daniele, baninga na ye mpe bato mosusu ya bwanya ya Babiloni.
19 Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night; and Daniel blessed the God of heaven, and said,
Bongo na butu, Daniele azwaki emoniseli oyo elakisaki ye mabombami yango; boye, akumisaki Nzambe ya Lola.
20 May the name of God be blessed from everlasting and to everlasting: for wisdom and understanding are his.
Daniele alobaki: Tika ete Kombo ya Nzambe ekumisama libela na libela! Bwanya mpe nguya ezali ya Ye.
21 And he changes times and seasons: he appoints kings, and removes [them], giving wisdom to the wise, and prudence to them that have understanding:
Ezali Ye nde abongolaka tango mpe makambo, alongolaka bakonzi mpe atombolaka bakonzi, apesaka bwanya epai ya bato ya bwanya mpe boyebi epai ya bato ya mayele.
22 he reveals deep and secret [matters]; knowing what is in darkness, and the light is with him.
Alakisaka makambo ya bozindo mpe ebombama, ayebaka makambo oyo esalemaka na molili, mpe pole ezali kati na Ye.
23 I give thanks to you, and praise [you], O God of my fathers, for you has given me wisdom and power, and has made known to me the things which we asked of you; and you has made known to me the king's vision.
Oh Nzambe ya batata na ngai, nazali kosanzola mpe kokumisa Yo mpo na bwanya mpe nguya oyo opesi ngai, pamba te oyebisi ngai makambo oyo tosengaki Yo mpe otalisi biso ndoto ya mokonzi.
24 And Daniel came to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon, but bring me in before the king, and I will declare the interpretation to the king.
Sima na yango, Daniele akendeki epai ya Arioki oyo mokonzi apesaki mokumba ya koboma bato ya bwanya ya Babiloni; alobaki na ye: — Koboma bato ya bwanya ya Babiloni te! Mema ngai epai ya mokonzi, mpe nakopesa ye ndimbola ya ndoto na ye.
25 Then Arioch in haste brought in Daniel before the king, and said to him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judea, who will declare the interpretation to the king.
Arioki amemaki Daniele na lombangu liboso ya mokonzi mpe alobaki na ye: — Mokonzi, namoni moto moko kati na bawumbu oyo bawutaki na Yuda, oyo akoki koyebisa mokonzi ndoto na ye mpe kolimbola yango.
26 And the king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltasar, Canst you declare to me the dream which I saw, and the interpretation thereof?
Mokonzi atunaki Daniele oyo bazalaki lisusu kobenga Belitsatsari: — Ozali na makoki ya koyebisa ngai makambo oyo namonaki na ndoto mpe kolimbola yango?
27 And Daniel answered before the king, and said, The mystery which the king asks [the explanation of] is not [in the power] of the wise men, magicians, enchanters, [or] soothsayers to declare to the king.
Daniele azongisaki liboso ya mokonzi: — Bato ya bwanya, bato ya mayele ya mabe, banganga-kisi mpe bato oyo bayebaka makambo oyo ekoya bazali na makoki te ya koyebisa mokonzi mabombami oyo azali kotuna;
28 But there is a God in heaven revealing mysteries, and he has made known to king Nabuchodonosor what things must come to pass in the last days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, are as follows,
kasi kati na Lola, ezali na Nzambe moko oyo alakisaka mabombami; mpe alakisi mokonzi Nabukodonozori makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo oyo ekoya. Tala ndoto oyo olotaki mpe bimoniseli oyo ozwaki tango ozalaki ya kolala na mbeto na yo:
29 O king: your thoughts upon your bed arose [as to] what must come to pass hereafter: and he that reveals mysteries has made known to you what must come to pass.
« Oh mokonzi, wana ozalaki ya kolala na mbeto na yo, okomaki kokanisa makambo oyo ekoya na sima ya tango; bongo, Ye oyo alakisaka mabombami alakisaki yo makambo oyo ekoya.
30 Moreover, this mystery has not been revealed to me by reason of wisdom which is in me beyond all [others] living, but for the sake of making known the interpretation to the king, that you might know the thoughts of your heart.
Bongo soki alakisi mabombami yango epai na ngai, ezali te mpo ete naleki bato nyonso na bwanya, kasi ezali mpo ete mokonzi ayeba ndimbola ya ndoto na ye mpe makambo oyo ezali kotungisa motema na ye.
31 You, O king, saw, and behold an image: that image was great, and the appearance of it excellent, standing before your face; and the form of it was terrible.
Oh mokonzi, tala emoniseli oyo ozwaki: ‹ Ekeko moko ya monene ezalaki liboso na yo: ezalaki monene penza, ezalaki kongenga makasi mpe ezalaki somo mpo na kotala;
32 [It was] an image, the head of which was of fine gold, its hands and breast and arms of silver, [its] belly and thighs of brass,
moto na yango ezalaki ya wolo ya peto, tolo mpe maboko na yango ezalaki ya palata, libumu mpe loketo na yango ezalaki ya bronze,
33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of iron and part of earthenware.
makolo na yango ezalaki ya ebende, matambe na yango ezalaki, ndambo moko ya ebende, mpe ndambo mosusu, ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko.
34 You saw until a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it struck the image upon its feet of iron and earthenware, and utterly reduced them to powder.
Wana ozalaki kotala ekeko yango, libanga moko ekweyaki yango moko (moto moko te abwakaki yango), ekweyelaki ekeko yango na matambe na yango ya ebende mpe ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, enikaki matambe yango mpe ekomaki putulu.
35 Then once for all the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold, were ground to powder, and became as chaff from the summer threshing floor; and the violence of the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them: and the stone which had struck the image became a great mountain, and filled all the earth.
Mbala moko, ezala ebende to mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko to bronze to palata to mpe wolo, nyonso epanzanaki, ekomaki mike-mike mpe ekomaki kopumbwa ndenge matiti ya ble epumbwaka tango bapupolaka yango; mopepe ememaki yango mpe elimwisaki yango. Kasi libanga oyo ekweyelaki ekeko yango ekomaki ngomba moko ya monene oyo etondisaki mokili mobimba. › »
36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
Wana nde ezalaki ndoto; mpe sik’oyo, tokopesa ndimbola na yango liboso ya mokonzi!
37 You, O king, are a king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given a powerful and strong and honorable kingdom,
Oh mokonzi, ozali mokonzi ya bakonzi! Nzambe ya Lola apesaki yo makasi mpe nguya, bokonzi mpe nkembo;
38 in every place where the children of men dwell: and he has given into your hand the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, and he has made you lord of all.
atiaki na se ya bokonzi na yo bato nyonso ya mokili, banyama ya zamba mpe bandeke ya likolo; atiaki yo mokonzi na bango nyonso, na bisika nyonso oyo bavandaka! Ezali yo nde ozali moto wana ya wolo.
39 You are the head of gold. And after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, an a third kingdom which is the brass, which shall have dominion over all the earth;
Sima na yo, bokonzi mosusu ekobima, kasi ekoleka bokonzi na yo te na nguya; bongo na sima, bokonzi ya misato ekobima mpe ekokonza na mabele mobimba: yango nde ezali kolakisa bronze.
40 and a fourth kingdom, which shall be strong as iron: as iron beats to powder and subdues all things, so shall it beat to powder and subdue.
Mpe na suka, bokonzi ya minei ekobima, ekozala makasi lokola ebende; ndenge ebende ebukaka, enikaka mpe epanzaka nyonso, ndenge wana mpe ekobuka mpe ekopanza babokonzi mosusu ya liboso.
41 And whereas you saw the feet and the toes, part of earthenware and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet there shall be in it of the strength of iron, as you saw the iron mixed with earthenware.
Mpe ndenge kaka omonaki ete matambe mpe misapi ya makolo na yango ezali ndambo moko, ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, mpe ndambo mosusu, ya ebende, elingi koloba ete bokonzi yango ekokabwana; kasi kati na yango, ekozala na eloko moko ya makasi lokola ebende, ndenge kaka omonaki ebende basangisa na mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko.
42 And [whereas] the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of earthenware, part of the kingdom shall be strong, and [part] of it shall be broken.
Mpe lokola misapi ya makolo ezalaki ndambo, ya ebende, mpe ndambo mosusu, ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, bokonzi yango ekozala, ngambo moko, makasi, mpe ngambo mosusu, ezanga makasi.
43 Whereas you saw the iron mixed with earthenware, they shall be mingled with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave together, as the iron does not mix itself with earthenware.
Mpe ndenge kaka omonaki ebende basangisa na mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, elakisi ete bato bakoluka kosangana na nzela ya boyokani, kasi bakotikala kosangana te, ndenge kaka ebende esanganaka te na mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko.
44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and his kingdom shall not be left to another people, [but] it shall beat to pieces and grind to powder all [other] kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Na tango ya bakonzi wana, Nzambe ya Lola akobimisa bokonzi moko oyo ekotikala kobebisama te mpe ekotikala kozala te na se ya bokonzi ya ekolo mosusu; ekopanza mpe ekosukisa babokonzi wana nyonso, kasi yango moko ekowumela seko na seko.
45 Whereas you saw that a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it beat to pieces the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold; the great God has made known to the king what must happen hereafter: and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Yango nde ndimbola ya emoniseli ya libanga oyo omonaki kokweya yango moko wuta na ngomba, oyo loboko ya moto moko te ebwakaki, mpo na koya kopanza ebende, bronze, mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, palata mpe wolo. Nzambe Monene alakisi mokonzi makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo ekoya. Ndoto oyo ezali penza kolakisa makambo ya solo, mpe ndimbola na yango ezali ebongi na kondima.
46 Then king Nabuchodonosor fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and gave orders to offer to him gifts and incense.
Boye, mokonzi Nabukodonozori agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele, liboso ya Daniele, mpe apesaki ye lokumu; apesaki mitindo ete bapesa ye makabo mpe babonzela ye malasi ya ansa.
47 And the king answered and said to Daniel, Of a truth your God is a God of gods, and Lord of kings, who reveals mysteries; for you has been able to reveal this mystery.
Mokonzi alobaki na Daniele: « Solo, Nzambe na bino azali Nzambe ya banzambe, Nkolo ya bakonzi mpe Molakisi mabombami, mpo ete okoki kolakisa mabombami oyo! »
48 And the king promoted Daniel, and gave him great and abundant gifts, and set him over the whole province of Babylon, and [made him] chief satrap over all the wise men of Babylon.
Sima, mokonzi atombolaki Daniele na lokumu oyo eleki likolo mpe apesaki ye bakado mpe bozwi ebele; akomisaki ye moyangeli ya etuka mobimba ya Babiloni mpe mokambi ya bato na yango nyonso ya bwanya.
49 And Daniel asked of the king, and he appointed Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the king's palace.
Daniele asengaki na mokonzi Nabukodonozori ete atia Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego lokola bayangeli ya etuka mobimba ya Babiloni wana ye moko Daniele atikalaki kosala pembeni ya mokonzi.
