Daniel 8
1 “In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision has appeared to me—I Daniel—after that which had appeared to me at the beginning.
Mu mwaka ogwokusatu mu mirembe gya Kabaka Berusazza, nze Danyeri ne nfuna okwolesebwa oluvannyuma olwa kuli okwasooka.
2 And I see in a vision, and it comes to pass, in my seeing, and I [am] in Shushan the palace that [is] in Elam the province, and I see in a vision, and I have been by the stream Ulai.
Mu kwolesebwa okwo ne ndaba nga ndi mu kibuga ekikulu Susani mu ssaza Eramu, nga ndi ku mabbali g’omugga Ulaayi.
3 And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain ram is standing before the stream, and it has two horns, and the two horns [are] high; and one [is] higher than the other, and the high one is coming up last.
Ne nnyimusa amaaso gange ne ndaba, laba, endiga ennume eyalina amayembe abiri, n’amayembe ago gombi nga mawanvu naye erimu nga lisinga linnaalyo obuwanvu, ate nga lyo lyakula luvannyuma.
4 I have seen the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no living creatures stand before it, and there is none delivering out of its hand, and it has done according to its pleasure, and has exerted itself.
Ne ndaba endiga ennume ng’etomera edda ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba n’eri obukiikakkono, ne ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo. Ne wataba nsolo nkambwe n’emu egisinza amaanyi, ate nga mpaawo ayinza kuwona maanyi gaayo. N’ekola nga bwe yayagala era ne yeefuula ya kitalo.
5 And I have been considering, and behold, a young male goat has come from the west, over the face of the whole earth, whom none is touching in the earth; as for the young male goat, a conspicuous horn [is] between its eyes.
Awo bwe nnali nkyalowooza ku ebyo, amangwago ne walabika embuzi ennume eyalina ejjembe eddene mu kyenyi ng’eva ebugwanjuba, n’esala okuva ku luuyi olumu olw’ensi, okulaga ku luuyi olulala nga terinnye ku ttaka.
6 And it comes to the ram possessing the two horns, that I had seen standing before the stream, and runs to it in the fury of its power.
N’erumba n’obusungu bungi endiga ennume eyalina amayembe abiri, gye nalaba ng’eyimiridde ku mabbali g’omugga.
7 And I have seen it coming near the ram, and it becomes embittered at it, and strikes the ram, and breaks its two horns, and there has been no power in the ram to stand before it, and it casts it to the earth, and tramples it down, and there has been no deliverer to the ram out of its power.
Ne ngiraba ng’esemberera endiga eyo ennume, mu busungu obungi n’egitomera era n’emenya amayembe gaayo gombi; endiga ennume n’eggwaamu amaanyi n’eteyinza kwetaasa, embuzi ennume n’egikoona n’egwa wansi n’egirinnyirira, ne wataba n’omu eyayinza okuwonya endiga ennume eyo mu maanyi g’embuzi ennume.
8 And the young male goat has exerted itself very much, and when it is strong, the great horn has been broken; and a vision of four comes up in its place, at the four winds of the heavens.
Embuzi ennume ne yeegulumiza nnyo, naye mu maanyi gaayo amangi, ejjembe lyayo eddene ne limenyeka, we lyali amayembe ana agalabika obulungi ne gamerawo nga gadda eri embuyaga ennya ez’omu ggulu.
9 And from one of them has come forth a little horn, and it exerts itself greatly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful [land];
Mu ago ne muva ejjembe eddala ettono, ne likula mu maanyi mangi okwolekera obukiikaddyo, n’ebuvanjuba n’eri ensi ey’ekitalo ennungi.
10 indeed, it exerts to the host of the heavens, and causes to fall to the earth of the host, and of the stars, and tramples them down.
Ne likula ne lituuka eri eggye ery’omu ggulu, ne lisuula abamu ku b’eggye n’emmunyeenye ezimu wansi ku nsi, ne libirinnyirira.
11 And to the prince of the host it exerts itself, and the continual [sacrifice] has been taken away by it, and thrown down the base of his sanctuary.
Ne lyegulumiza okwenkanankana omukulu w’eggye, ne limuggyako ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’ekifo eky’awatukuvu ne lyonoonawo.
12 And the host is given up, with the continual [sacrifice], through transgression, and it throws down truth to the earth, and it has worked, and prospered.
Olw’obujeemu eggye awamu n’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekya buli lunaku ne biriweebwa. Amazima ne gasuulibwa wansi, ne buli kye lyakolanga ne kiba kya mukisa.
13 And I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy one says to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: Until when [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the transgression, an astonishment, to make a treading down of both sanctuary and host?
Ne mpulira omutukuvu ng’ayogera, n’omutukuvu omulala n’agamba oyo eyayogera nti, “Okwolesebwa okwogera ku kiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekya buli lunaku, ne ku bujeemu okuleeta okwonoona okungi, ne ku kuwaayo okwa watukuvu, ne ku batukuvu abalinnyirirwa, kulituukirira ddi era ebyo byonna birikoma ddi?”
14 And he says to me, Until evening—morning two thousand and three hundred, then is the holy place declared right.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Okutuusa ng’ennaku enkumi bbiri mu bisatu ziyiseewo.”
15 And it comes to pass in my seeing—I, Daniel—the vision, that I require understanding, and behold, standing before me [is] as the appearance of a mighty one.
Awo nze Danyeri bwe namala okufuna okwolesebwa okwo nga nkyagezaako okutegeera amakulu gaakwo, laba ne wayimirira mu maaso gange ekifaananyi ng’eky’omusajja.
16 And I hear a voice of man between [the banks of] Ulai, and he calls and says: Gabriel, cause this [one] to understand the appearance.
Ne mpulira eddoboozi ly’omusajja emitala w’omugga Ulaayi, eryakoowoola, ne lyogera nti, “Gabulyeri, tegeeza omusajja oyo amakulu g’okwolesebwa okwo.”
17 And he comes in near my station, and at his coming in I have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he says to me: Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end [is] the vision.
Awo n’asembera okumpi ne we nnali nnyimiridde, ne ntya, ne neeyala wansi. Naye n’aŋŋamba nti, “Tegeera, ggwe omwana w’omuntu, ng’okwolesebwa, kwogera ku biro eby’enkomerero.”
18 And in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth; and he comes against me, and causes me to stand on my station,
Awo bwe yali akyayogera nange, ne nkwatibwa otulo otungi ennyo, ng’amaaso gange nga ngavuunise ku ttaka, ye n’ankwatako n’angolokosa.
19 and says: Behold, I am causing you to know that which is in the latter end of the indignation; for at the appointed time [is] the end.
N’ayogera nti, “Laba, ndikumanyisa ebiribaawo mu biro eby’enkomerero eby’okubonaabona, kubanga okwolesebwa kwogera ku kiseera ekyalondebwa eky’enkomerero.
20 The ram that you have seen possessing two horns, [are] the kings of Media and Persia.
Endiga ennume gye walaba ey’amayembe abiri, be bakabaka ab’Obumeedi, n’Obuperusi.
21 And the young male goat, the hairy one, [is] the king of Javan; and the great horn that [is] between its eyes is the first king;
N’embuzi ennume endaawo ye kabaka w’e Buyonaani, n’ejjembe eddene eriri mu kyenyi kyayo ye kabaka ow’olubereberye.
22 and that being broken, four stand up in its place, four kingdoms stand up from the nation, and not in its power.
N’amayembe ana agadda mu kifo kyalyo nga limenyese, bwe bwakabaka obuna obuliva mu ggwanga lye, naye tebuliba na buyinza bwe bumu ng’obubwe.
23 And in the latter end of their kingdom, about the perfecting of the transgressors, a king stands up, fierce of face, and understanding hidden things;
“Mu biro eby’enkomerero eby’okufuga kwabwe, abajeemu nga batandise okusobya ennyo, kabaka omuzira ate omukambwe, ng’alina obukoddyo bungi alivaayo.
24 and his power has been mighty, and not by his own power; and he destroys wonderful things, and he has prospered, and worked, and destroyed mighty ones, and the people of the Holy Ones.
Aliba n’amaanyi mangi, naye si lwa buyinza bwe ye, era alireeta entiisa nnene, era aliba wa mukisa mu buli ky’akola. Alizikiriza abantu ab’amaanyi n’abantu abatukuvu.
25 And by his understanding he has also caused deceit to prosper in his hand, and in his heart he exerts himself, and by ease he destroys many; and he stands against the Prince of princes—and he is broken without hand.
Aliba mulimba nnyo, n’aleetera obulimba okweyongera, era alyegulumiza nnyo. Aligwikiriza abantu bangi n’abazikiriza, era n’alumba n’Omukulu w’abalangira. Wabula naye alizikirizibwa so si n’amaanyi ag’obuntu.
26 And the appearance of the evening and of the morning, that is told, is true; and you, hide the vision, for [it is] after many days.
“Okwolesebwa okukwata ku biro eby’oku makya ne ku by’akawungeezi, kwe wafuna kwa mazima, naye sirikira okwolesebwa okwo, kubanga kwogera ku biro ebigenda okujja.”
27 And I, Daniel, have been, indeed, I became sick [for] days, and I rise, and do the king’s work, and am astonished at the appearance, and there is none understanding.”
Nze Danyeri ne mpulira nga nkooye nnyo era ne ndwala okumala ennaku. N’oluvannyuma nga nzisuuse ne nzira ku mirimu gya kabaka, kyokka okwolesebwa okwo ne kuntawanya nnyo mu mutima, ate nga sitegeera makulu gaakwo.
