Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, I, Daniel, had a vision appear to me (after the one that appeared to me at first).
Na mobu ya misato ya bokonzi ya mokonzi Balitazari, ngai, Daniele, nazwaki emoniseli moko ya sika, sima na oyo nazwaki liboso.
2 I saw in the vision, as I was looking, that I was in the fortress of Susa in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal.
Kati na emoniseli yango, nazalaki kotala mpe namimonaki lokola kati na Size, engumba batonga makasi, kati na etuka ya Elami; kati na emoniseli yango kaka, namimonaki lisusu lokola natelemi pembeni ya moluka Ulayi.
3 I looked up and saw before me a ram with two horns, standing beside the canal. One horn was longer than the other, but the longer one grew more slowly than the shorter and was passed up in length by it.
Natombolaki miso na ngai na likolo mpe namonaki, liboso na ngai, meme moko ya mobali etelemi pembeni ya moluka; ezalaki na maseke mibale ya milayi makasi, kasi moko kati na maseke yango, oyo ebotaki sima, elekaki mosusu na molayi.
4 I saw the ram charging west, then north, and then south; no other animal could stand before him. None of them was able to rescue anyone out of his hand. He did whatever he wanted, and he became great.
Bongo, namonaki meme ya mobali ezali kobeta na ngambo ya weste, ya nor mpe na sude. Nyama moko te ekokaki kobundisa yango mpe moto moko te akokaki kokangola soki ekangi yango. Ezalaki kosala nyonso oyo yango elingi mpe ezalaki kokola.
5 As I was thinking about this, I saw a male goat come from the west, who went across the surface of the whole earth, running fast, not seeming to touch the ground. The goat had a large horn between his eyes.
Wana nazalaki kokanisa na tina na yango, ntaba moko ya mobali eyaki wuta na ngambo ya weste; ezalaki kotambola mabele mobimba na kozanga konyata yango. Ntaba yango ya mobali ezalaki na liseke moko ya monene na kati-kati ya miso na yango;
6 He came to the ram who had two horns—I had seen the ram standing on the bank of the canal—and the goat ran toward the ram in a powerful rage.
eyaki kino epai ya meme ya mobali oyo namonaki etelemi pembeni ya moluka mpe ezalaki na maseke mibale; ebetaki yango makasi, na maseki te.
7 I saw the goat come close to the ram. He was very angry at the ram, and he hit the ram and broke off its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand before him. The goat knocked him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could rescue the ram from his power.
Namonaki ntaba yango kopusana pene ya meme ya mobali na kanda makasi, ebetaki meme ya mobali mpe ebukaki yango maseke nyonso mibale; meme ezalaki ata na makasi te ya kobundisa ntaba. Boye, ntaba ebwakaki meme na mabele mpe enyataki yango; mpe ezalaki na moto moko te mpo na kobikisa meme ya mobali na maboko ya ntaba wana.
8 Then the goat became very large. But when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in its place four other large horns grew up that pointed toward the four winds of the heavens.
Ntaba ya mobali ekolaki makasi; kasi tango ekomaki lisusu na nguya makasi, liseke na yango ya monene ebukanaki. Maseke minei ya minene ebotaki na esika ya liseke wana moko mpe etalaki na bangambo minei ya likolo.
9 Out of one of them grew another horn, little at first, but which became very large in the south, in the east, and in the land of beauty.
Bongo, wuta na moko kati na maseke nyonso minei, liseke moko ya moke ebimaki. Ekolaki makasi, mpe nguya na yango ekomaki na ngambo ya sude, ya este mpe na ngambo ya Mokili oyo eleki kitoko.
10 It became so large as to engage in war with the army of heaven. Some of that army and some of the stars were thrown down to the earth, and it trampled on them.
Ekolaki lisusu kino na mampinga ya likolo, ebwakaki na mabele ndambo ya mampinga yango mpe ndambo ya minzoto, mpe enyataki yango.
11 It made itself to be as great as the commander of the army. It took away from him the regular burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was polluted.
Emitombolaki kino kotia tembe na Mokonzi ya mampinga, elongolaki mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo na losambo mpe ebebisaki Esika na Ye ya bule elongo na miboko na yango.
12 Because of rebellion, the army will be given over to the goat's horn, and the burnt offering will be stopped. The horn will throw truth down to the ground, and it will succeed in what it does.
Likolo ya botomboki ya bato liboso ya Nzambe, mampinga ya likolo ekomaki na se ya bokonzi ya liseke elongo na mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo. Liseke yango ezalaki kolonga na makambo nyonso oyo ezalaki kosala mpe ebwakaki solo na mabele.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking and another holy one answering him, “How long will these things last, this vision about the burnt offering, the sin that brings destruction, the handing over of the sanctuary, and heaven's army being trampled on?”
Nayokaki mosantu moko koloba, mpe mosantu mosusu kotuna ye: — Makambo oyo etalisami na emoniseli ekosala mikolo boni? Mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo ekopesama lisusu te mikolo boni? Botomboki oyo ememaka pasi ekosala mikolo boni? Mikolo boni Esika ya bule mpe mampinga ekotiama na se ya matambe?
14 He said to me, “It will last for 2,300 evenings and mornings. After that the sanctuary will be put right.”
Alobaki na ngai: — Ekosalema bapokwa nkoto moko na nkama moko na tuku mitano mpe batongo nkoto moko na nkama moko na tuku mitano; sima na yango nde Esika ya bule ekobulisama lisusu mpo na losambo.
15 When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I tried to understand it. Then there stood before me one who looked like a man.
Wana ngai, Daniele, nazalaki komona emoniseli yango na makanisi mpe koluka kososola yango, namonaki lokola moto moko atelemi liboso na ngai.
16 I heard a man's voice calling between the banks of the Ulai Canal. He said, “Gabriel, help this man understand the vision.”
Nayokaki mongongo moko lokola ya moto wuta na kati-kati ya moluka Ulayi; ezalaki kobelela: — Gabrieli, limbolela moto oyo emoniseli.
17 So he came near where I stood. When he came, I was frightened and prostrated myself on the ground. He said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.”
Lokola azalaki kopusana pene ya esika oyo nazalaki, nakomaki na somo mpe nakweyaki elongi kino na mabele. Alobaki na ngai: — Mwana na moto, sosola malamu ete emoniseli oyo etali makambo ya suka ya tango.
18 When he spoke to me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and made me stand up.
Wana azalaki koloba na ngai, nakomaki na pongi moko ya makasi, mpe nakweyaki elongi kino na mabele; kasi asimbaki ngai mpe atelemisaki ngai, kaka na esika oyo nazalaki.
19 He said, “See, I will show you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time for the end.
Bongo, alobaki na ngai: — Nakoyebisa yo makambo oyo ekosalema na sima na tango ya kanda ya Nzambe, pamba te emoniseli oyo etali tango oyo ekatama mpo na mikolo ya suka.
20 As for the ram you saw, the one that had two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Maseke mibale ya meme ya mobali oyo omonaki ezali kolakisa bakonzi ya Medi mpe ya Persi.
21 The male goat is the king of Greece. The large horn between his eyes is the first king.
Ntaba mobali ya bapwale ebele ezali mokonzi ya Grese, mpe liseke monene oyo ezali na kati-kati ya miso na yango ezali mokonzi ya liboso.
22 As for the horn that was broken, in the place of which four others arose—four kingdoms will arise from his nation, but not with his great power.
Tango liseke yango ebukanaki, maseke minei ebimaki na esika na yango: ezali kolakisa ete babokonzi minei ekobima wuta na ekolo oyo, kasi nguya na yango ekokokana te.
23 At the latter time of those kingdoms, when the transgressors shall have reached their limit, a grim-faced king, one who is very intelligent, will arise.
Na suka ya bokonzi na yango, tango batomboki bakokolisa mabe na bango kino na suka, mokonzi moko ya motema makasi mpe ya mayele mabe akobima;
24 His power will be great—but not by his own power. He will be amazing in what he destroys; he will act and succeed. He will destroy powerful people, people among the holy ones.
akokoma makasi koleka, kasi na nguya na ye moko te. Akobebisa mokili na ndenge ya kokamwa mpe akolonga na makambo nyonso oyo akosala; akoboma bato ya makasi mpe basantu.
25 By his craftiness he will make deceit prosper under his hand. He will become great in his own mind. He will unexpectedly destroy many people. He will even rise up against the King of kings, and he will be broken, but not by any human hand.
Na mayele mabe na ye, akolonga kokosa bato ebele mpe akokoma na motema ya lofundu; akoboma bato ebele oyo bazalaki na bango na kimia mpe akotelemela Mokambi ya bakambi, kasi akobebisama na nguya ya moto te.
26 The vision about the evenings and mornings that has been told is true. But seal up the vision, for it refers to many days in the future.”
Emoniseli ya bapokwa mpe ya batongo oyo epesamelaki yo ezali ya solo, kasi bomba yango malamu, pamba te etali makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo ekoya.
27 Then I, Daniel, was overcome and lay weak for several days. Then I got up, and went about the king's business. But I was appalled by the vision, and there was no one who understood it.
Ngai, Daniele, nalembaki penza nzoto mpe nabelaki mikolo ebele. Sima na yango, natelemaki mpe nazongelaki kolandela misala ya mokonzi. Emoniseli oyo nazwaki ekamwisaki ngai mpe nazalaki kososola yango te.
