< Daniel 5 >
1 Belshazzar the king, made a great feast, to a thousand of his nobles, —and, before the thousand, was drinking, wine.
Mokolo moko, mokonzi Balitazari asalisaki feti moko ya monene mpo na kopesa lokumu na nkoto ya bato na ye ya lokumu; mpe amelaki vino elongo na bango.
2 Belshazzar, gave word, at the flavour of the wine, to bring the vessels of gold and silver, which Nebuchadnezzar his father, had brought forth, out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, —that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, might drink therein.
Wana Balitazari azalaki komela vino, apesaki mitindo ete bamema bakopo ya wolo mpe ya palata oyo tata na ye, Nabukodonozori, azwaki wuta na Tempelo ya Yelusalemi, mpo ete mokonzi mpe bato na ye ya lokumu, basi na ye mpe bamakangu na ye bamela na yango masanga.
3 Then brought they the vessels of gold which had been taken out of the temple of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and the king and his nobles, his wives and, his concubines, drank therein:
Boye, bamemaki bakopo ya wolo oyo bazwaki na Tempelo ya Nzambe, na Yelusalemi; bongo mokonzi mpe bato na ye ya lokumu, basi na ye mpe bamakangu na ye bamelaki na yango masanga.
4 they drank wine, —and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone.
Wana bazalaki komela vino, bazalaki kokumisa banzambe ya wolo mpe ya palata, ya bronze, ya ebende, ya nzete mpe ya libanga.
5 Immediately, came forth the fingers of the hand of a man, and wrote, over against the chandelier, upon the plaster of the wall of the palace of the king, —and, the king, saw the part of the hand which was writing,
Mbala moko, misapi ya loboko ya moto moko ebimaki mpe ebandaki kokoma na etando ya mir ya ndako ya mokonzi, pembeni ya etelemiselo ya minda. Tango mokonzi amonaki ndenge loboko yango ezalaki kokoma,
6 Then, as for the king, his bright looks, changed in him, and, his thoughts, terrified him, —and, the joints of his loins, were loosed, and, his knees, smote, one against another.
elongi na ye etelaki na somo mpe makanisi na ye ekomaki kotambola, nzoto na ye mobimba ekomaki kolenga mpe mabolongo na ye ekomaki kotutana.
7 The king began crying out again, to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans and the astrologers, —the king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever it is that shall read this writing, and, the interpretation thereof, shall declare unto me, with purple, shall he be clothed, and have a chain of gold upon his neck, and, as the third in the kingdom, shall he have dominion.
Mokonzi agangaki makasi mpe apesaki mitindo ete bamemela ye banganga-kisi, bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto mpe bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya. Mpe mokonzi alobaki na bato oyo nyonso ya bwanya, ya Babiloni: — Moto nyonso oyo akokoka kotanga makomi oyo mpe akoyebisa ngai ndimbola na yango, nakolatisa ye bilamba ya motane mpe sheneti ya wolo na kingo, mpe akozala kalaka ya lokumu kati na bokonzi.
8 Then were coming in all the wise men of the king, —but, the writing, could they not read, nor, the interpretation, make known to the king.
Bato nyonso ya bwanya ya mokonzi bakotaki na kati, kasi bakokaki te kotanga makomi wana to koyebisa mokonzi ndimbola na yango.
9 Then, King Belshazzar, was greatly terrified, and, his bright looks, were changed upon him, —and, his nobles, were perplexed.
Boye, mokonzi Balitazari akomaki lisusu na somo makasi koleka, mpe elongi na ye etelaki lisusu koleka; mpe bato na ye ya lokumu bakomaki komitungisa.
10 The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, into the house of banqueting, entered, —the queen spake and said, O king! for ages, live! Let not thy thoughts, terrify thee, and, as for thy bright looks, let them not be changed.
Tango mama ya mokonzi ayokaki basango ya makambo oyo ekomelaki mokonzi mpe bato na ye ya lokumu, akotaki na ndako epai wapi bazalaki kosalela feti; alobaki: — Oh mokonzi, tika ete owumela na bomoi seko na seko! Komitungisa te mpe kotika te ete elongi na yo etela!
11 There is a man in thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and, in the days of thy father, light, and intelligence, and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him, —and, King Nebuchadnezzar thy father, appointed him, chief of the sacred scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers, —thy father, O king!
Ezali na moto moko kati na mokili na yo, oyo azali na molimo ya banzambe ya bule kati na ye. Tango tata na yo azalaki mokonzi, amonaki kati na ye bososoli, mayele mpe bwanya oyo ekokana na bwanya ya banzambe. Boye, tata na yo, mokonzi Nabukodonozori, akomisaki ye mokonzi ya banganga-kisi, ya bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto mpe ya bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya.
12 Forasmuch as, a distinguished spirit, and knowledge and intelligence, ability to interpret dreams and solve riddles and unravel knotty points, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let, Daniel, be called, and, the interpretation, will he declare.
Pamba te moto yango, Daniele, oyo tata na yo azalaki kobenga Belitsatsari, atondisama na mayele, na boyebi mpe na bososoli; azali lisusu na makoki ya kolimbola ndoto, masese mpe ya kopesa biyano na makambo ya makasi. Benga kaka Daniele wana, mpe akoyebisa yo ndimbola ya makomi yango.
13 Then, Daniel, was brought in before the king, —the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art, thou, that Daniel, that is of the sons of the exile of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
Boye, bamemaki Daniele liboso ya mokonzi. Mokonzi atunaki ye: — Yo nde Daniele, moko kati na bawumbu oyo tata na ngai amemaki wuta na Yuda?
14 Then, I have heard concerning thee, that, the spirit of the gods, is in thee, —and, light and intelligence and distinguished wisdom, are found in thee.
Nayoki na tina na yo ete ozali na molimo ya banzambe kati na yo, mpe ete ozali na bososoli, na mayele mpe na bwanya ya kokamwa!
15 Now, therefore, have been brought in before me, the wise men, the magicians, that, this writing, they might read, and, the interpretation thereof, might make known unto me, —but they were not able, the interpretation of the thing, to declare.
Bato ya bwanya mpe banganga-kisi bawuti awa liboso na ngai mpo na kotanga makomi oyo mpe koyebisa ngai ndimbola na yango, kasi balongi te kopesa ndimbola yango.
16 I, however, have heard concerning thee, that thou art able, interpretations, to unfold, and, knotty points, to unravel, —Now, if thou be able, the writing, to read, and, the interpretation thereof, to make known unto me, with purple, shalt thou be clothed, and, a chain of gold, shalt thou have upon thy neck, and, as the third in the kingdom, shalt thou have dominion.
Nzokande, nayoki ete yo ozali na makoki ya kolimbola mpe ya kopesa biyano na makambo ya makasi; sik’oyo, soki olongi kotanga makomi oyo mpe opesi ngai ndimbola na yango, nakolatisa yo bilamba ya motane mpe sheneti ya wolo na kingo, mpe okokoma moto ya misato kati na molongo ya bayangeli ya mokili na ngai ya bokonzi.
17 Then spake Daniel, and said before the king, As for thy gifts, thine own let them remain, and, thy presents, on another, bestow, —howbeit, the writing, will I read to the king, and, the interpretation thereof, will I make known to him.
Daniele azongiselaki mokonzi: — Batela bakado na yo mpo na yo moko mpe pesa lifuti na yo epai ya moto mosusu! Kasi ngai, nazali kotanga makomi yango mpo na mokonzi; bongo, nakopesa ye ndimbola na yango.
18 As for thee, O king, the Most High God, gave, kingship and greatness and honour and majesty, unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father;
Oh mokonzi, Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo apesaki tata na yo, Nabukodonozori, bokonzi; akomisaki ye moto monene mpe apesaki ye nkembo mpe lokumu.
19 and, for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, races and tongues, used to tremble and to withdraw falteringly from before him, —Whom he would, he slew, and, whom he would, he kept alive, and, whom he would, he set up, and, whom he would, he put down.
Mpo na lokumu oyo apesaki ye, bato ya bikolo, ya mikili mpe ya nkota nyonso bakomaki kolenga na somo liboso na ye. Mokonzi azalaki koboma bato oyo azalaki na posa ya koboma, kobikisa bato oyo azalaki na posa ya kobikisa, kotombola bato oyo azalaki na posa ya kotombola mpe kosambwisa bato oyo azalaki na posa ya kosambwisa.
20 But, when uplifted was his heart and, his spirit, became obstinate so as to act arrogantly, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and, his dignity, took they from him;
Kasi tango kaka motema na ye ekomaki na lofundu mpe na lolendo, akitisamaki wuta na kiti na ye ya bokonzi mpe babotolaki ye nkembo na ye.
21 And, from among the sons of men, was he driven, and, his heart, to a wild beast’s, became equal, and, with the wild asses, was his dwelling, and, grass—like oxen, they suffered him to eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, his body, was drenched—until that he came to know that the Most High God, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, whomsoever he pleaseth, he setteth up over it.
Babenganaki ye na molongo ya bato mpe bapesaki ye mayele ya banyama; akomaki kovanda elongo na ba-ane ya zamba, kolia matiti lokola bangombe mpe nzoto na ye ezalaki kopola na mamwe ya tongo, kino tango asosolaki ete Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo azali Nkolo ya bokonzi nyonso ya bato mpe atombolaka na bokonzi moto nyonso oyo Ye alingi.
22 And yet, thou, his son, O Belshazzar! hast not humbled thy heart, though, all this, thou knewest;
Mpe yo Balitazari, mwana na ye ya mobali, atako oyebaki makambo wana nyonso, otamboli na komikitisa te.
23 but, against the Lord of the heavens, hast uplifted thyself, and, the vessels of his house, have they brought before thee, and, thou, and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have been drinking, wine, therein, and, gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which see not nor hear nor know, hast thou praised, —whereas, God, in whose hand thy breath is and whose are all thy ways, him, hast thou not glorified.
Otomboli mapeka na yo mpo na kotelemela Yawe ya Lola, oyeisi epai na yo bakopo oyo ewutaki na Tempelo na Ye; bongo yo, bato na yo ya lokumu, basi na yo mpe bamakangu na yo, bomeli na yango masanga ya vino mpe bokumisi banzambe ya palata mpe ya wolo, ya bronze mpe ya ebende, ya nzete mpe ya mabanga, oyo emonaka te, eyokaka te mpe esosolaka te. Kasi opesi lokumu te na Nzambe oyo, kati na loboko na Ye, asimbi bomoi mpe banzela na yo nyonso.
24 Then was there put forth from before him the part of the hand, —and, this writing, was inscribed:
Yango wana, atindi loboko oyo ekomi makomi oyo.
25 And this is the writing which was inscribed, M’ne, M’ne, T’kel, u-Pharsin.
Tala makomi oyo ekomami: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.
26 This, is the interpretation of the thing, —M’ne ["Reckoned-up"], God hath reckoned up thy reign, and ended it:
Ndimbola ya maloba yango ezali: Mene: Nzambe atangi mikolo ya bokonzi na yo mpe akomisi yango na suka;
27 T’kel, —thou art weighed ["Weighed"] in the balances, and found wanting;
Tekel: bameki kilo na yo na emekelo kilo, mpe emonani ete ozali na yo pepele;
28 P’res ["Snatched-away"], —snatched away is thy kingdom, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Parsin: bokonzi na yo ekabwani mpe epesami epai ya bato ya Medi mpe ya Persi.
29 Then Belshazzar, gave word, that they should clothe Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold upon his neck, —and should make a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler over the kingdom.
Mbala moko, Balitazari apesaki mitindo ete balatisa Daniele bilamba ya motane, sheneti ya wolo na kingo mpe batatola na tina na ye ete akomi moto ya misato kati na molongo ya bayangeli ya bokonzi.
30 In that night, was slain—Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans.
Mpe kaka na butu wana, babomaki Balitazari, mokonzi ya bato ya Babiloni.
31 And, Darius the Mede, received the kingdom, —when about sixty-two years of age.
Dariusi, moto ya Medi, akomaki mokonzi tango akokisaki mibu tuku motoba na mibale ya mbotama.
