Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
Mu mwaka ogwokusatu mu mirembe gya Kabaka Berusazza, nze Danyeri ne nfuna okwolesebwa oluvannyuma olwa kuli okwasooka.
2 And I saw in a vision, and when I saw, I was in Shushan, in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and was by the river 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 lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram, which had two horns; and the two horns were high, and one was higher than the other; and the higher came 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 saw the ram pushing westward and northward and southward, and no beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will and became great.
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 gave heed, and behold, a he-goat came from the west, over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his 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 he came to the ram which had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran against him in the fury of his power.
N’erumba n’obusungu bungi endiga ennume eyalina amayembe abiri, gye nalaba ng’eyimiridde ku mabbali g’omugga.
7 And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him, and smote the ram, and broke in pieces his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and none could deliver the ram out of his hand.
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 he-goat became exceedingly great; but when he became strong the great horn was broken, and instead of it grew up four conspicuous ones toward the four winds of heaven.
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 out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great 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 And it exalted itself even to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Ne likula ne lituuka eri eggye ery’omu ggulu, ne lisuula abamu ku b’eggye n’emmunyeenye ezimu wansi ku nsi, ne libirinnyirira.
11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and the daily sacrifice did he take away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Ne lyegulumiza okwenkanankana omukulu w’eggye, ne limuggyako ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’ekifo eky’awatukuvu ne lyonoonawo.
12 And a host was placed over the daily sacrifice with impiety, and it cast down truth to the ground, and it accomplished its purpose 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 heard a holy one speak; and another holy one said to the one that had spoken, To how long a time extendeth the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the impiety of the destroyer, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
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 said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Okutuusa ng’ennaku enkumi bbiri mu bisatu ziyiseewo.”
15 And it came to pass, that when I Daniel saw the vision, I sought for the meaning; and behold, there stood one before me having the appearance of a man.
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 heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
Ne mpulira eddoboozi ly’omusajja emitala w’omugga Ulaayi, eryakoowoola, ne lyogera nti, “Gabulyeri, tegeeza omusajja oyo amakulu g’okwolesebwa okwo.”
17 And he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face, and he said to me, Understand, O son of man! for this vision relateth to the time of the end.
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 But when he spake to me, I sank senseless upon my face to the ground; but he touched me, and lifted me up where I had stood.
Awo bwe yali akyayogera nange, ne nkwatibwa otulo otungi ennyo, ng’amaaso gange nga ngavuunise ku ttaka, ye n’ankwatako n’angolokosa.
19 And he said, Behold, I make known to thee what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for [[the vision relateth]] to the time of 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 which thou sawest, having two horns, denoteth the kings of Media and Persia.
Endiga ennume gye walaba ey’amayembe abiri, be bakabaka ab’Obumeedi, n’Obuperusi.
21 And the rough goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn between his 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 as that was broken, and four arose in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of the nation, but not with his 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 toward the end of their reign, when the transgressors have filled up the measure of their iniquities, a king shall arise of a fierce countenance, and cunning in artifices.
“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 shall become mighty, but not by his own strength; and wonderfully will he destroy, and prosper, and accomplish his purposes, and he will destroy many, even 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 through his cunning will he cause fraud to prosper in his hand, and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in the midst of security, and against the Prince of princes will he stand up; but he shall be 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 vision of the evening and the morning, which was told thee, is true; but do thou seal up the vision, for it relates to 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 fainted, and was sick some days; then I rose up and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but no one explained it.
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.
