< Daniel 7 >

1 In the firste yeer of Balthasar, kyng of Babiloyne, Danyel siy a sweuene. Forsothe he wroot the visioun of his hed in his bed, and the dreem, and comprehendide in schort word; and he touchide schortli the sentence,
Mu mwaka ogw’olubereberye ogw’obufuzi bwa Berusazza kabaka w’e Babulooni, Danyeri n’aloota era n’ayolesebwa ng’agalamidde ku kitanda kye. N’awandiika byonna bye yaloota.
2 and seide, Y siy in my visioun in niyt, and lo! foure wyndis of heuene fouyten in the myddis of the greet see.
Danyeri n’ayogera nti, “Mu kwolesebwa kwange ekiro, nalaba empewo ez’omu ggulu nnya nga zisiikuula ennyanja ennene,
3 And foure grete beestis dyuerse bitwixe hem silf stieden fro the see.
n’ensolo enkambwe nnya ez’ebika eby’enjawulo ne ziva mu nnyanja.
4 The firste beeste was as a lionesse, and hadde wyngis of an egle. Y bihelde til the wyngis therof weren pullid awei, and it was takun awei fro erthe, and it stood as a man on the feet, and the herte therof was youun to it.
“Eyasooka yali mpologoma ng’erina ebiwaawaatiro eby’empungu. Awo bwe nnali nga nkyagitunuulira, ebiwaawaatiro byayo ne bigikuunyuukako, n’esitulibwa, n’eyimirira ku magulu abiri ng’omuntu, n’eweebwa omutima ogw’omuntu.
5 And lo! another beeste, lijk a bere in parti, stood, and thre ordris weren in the mouth therof, and thre princes in the teeth therof. And thus thei seiden to it, Rise thou, ete thou ful many fleischis.
“Ate ne ndaba ensolo enkambwe eyookubiri, eyali ng’eddubu. N’esitulibwa ku luuyi olumu era yalina embiriizi ssatu mu kamwa kaayo, n’eragirwa nti, ‘Situka olye ennyama nnyingi.’
6 Aftir these thingis Y bihelde, and lo! anothir beeste as a pard, and it hadde on it silf foure wyngis of a brid, and foure heedis weren in the beeste, and power was youun to it.
“Oluvannyuma ne ndaba ensolo enkambwe endala eyali ng’engo, ng’erina ebiwaawaatiro bina eby’ennyonyi, ng’erina n’emitwe ena, n’eweebwa n’obuyinza okufuga.
7 Aftir these thingis Y bihelde in the visioun of niyt, and lo! the fourthe beeste, ferdful, and wondirful, and ful strong. It hadde grete irun teeth, and it ete, and made lesse, and defoulide with hise feet othere thingis; forsothe it was vnlijk othere beestis, which Y hadde seyn bifore it, and it hadde ten hornes.
“N’oluvannyuma mu kwolesebwa kwange ekiro, ne ndaba ensolo enkambwe eyokuna, nga ya ntiisa, nga ya buyinza era nga ya maanyi mangi nnyo. Yalina amannyo amanene ag’ekyuma, n’erya n’ebetenta, n’erinnyirira ebyasigalawo. Yali yanjawulo ku nsolo enkambwe endala, ng’erina n’amayembe kkumi.
8 Y bihelde the hornes, and lo! an other litil horn cam forth of the myddis of tho, and thre of the firste hornes weren drawun out fro the face therof; and lo! iyen as iyen of a man weren in this horn, and a mouth spekynge grete thingis.
“Awo bwe nnali nga nkyalowooza ku mayembe, ne walabika mu maaso gange ejjembe eddala, ettono, eryava mu ago; n’amayembe asatu ku ago ag’olubereberye ne gasimbulirwa ddala. Ejjembe eryo lyalina amaaso ng’ag’omuntu, n’akamwa akaayogeranga eby’okwegulumiza.
9 Y bihelde, til that trones weren set, and the elde of daies sat; his cloth was whijt as snow, and the heeris of his heed weren as cleene wolle, his trone was as flawmes of fier, hise wheelis weren fier kyndlid.
“Era nga nkyali awo ne ndaba, “entebe ez’obwakabaka nga ziteekeddwawo, n’Owedda n’Edda n’atuula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka. Ebyambalo bye byali byeru ng’omuzira, n’enviiri ez’oku mutwe gwe nga njeru ng’ebyoya by’endiga. Entebe ye ey’obwakabaka yali eyakaayakana ng’ennimi z’omuliro, ne namuziga zaayo nga zaaka omuliro.
10 A flood of fier and rennynge faste yede out fro his face, a thousynde thousynde mynistriden to hym, and ten sithis a thousynde sithis an hundrid thousynde stoden niy hym; the dom sat, and bookis weren opened.
Omugga gw’omuliro nga gukulukuta, nga gukulukutira awo mu maaso ge. Abantu nkumi na nkumi baamuweerezanga, n’emitwalo n’emitwalo baayimiriranga mu maaso ge. Okuwozesa emisango ne kutandika, ebitabo ne bibikkulwa.
11 Y bihelde for the vois of grete wordis whiche thilke horn spak; and Y siy that the beeste was slayn, and his bodi was perischid, and was youun to be brent in fier.
“Awo ne neyongera okwetegereza ebigambo eby’okwegulumiza, ejjembe lye byayogeranga. Ne ntunula okutuusa ensolo enkambwe bwe yafumitibwa n’ettibwa, n’esuulibwa mu muliro, n’ezikirizibwa.
12 And Y siy that the power of othere beestis was takun awei, and the tymes of lijf weren ordeyned to hem, til to tyme and tyme.
Ensolo enkambwe endala zo zaggibwako obuyinza bwazo, kyokka ennaku zaazo ne zongerwako.
13 Therfor Y bihelde in the visyoun of niyt, and lo! as a sone of man cam with the cloudis of heuene; and he cam fulli til to the elde of daies, and in the siyt of hym thei offriden hym.
“Mu kwolesebwa okwo ekiro ne ndaba, laba, omuntu eyafaanana ng’omwana w’omuntu, ng’ajja n’ebire eby’omu ggulu. N’ajja okumpi n’Owedda n’Edda, n’asembezebwa mu maaso ge.
14 And he yaf to hym power, and onour, and rewme, and alle the puplis, lynagis, and langagis schulen serue hym; his power is euerlastynge power, that schal not be takun awei, and his rewme, that schal not be corrupt.
N’aweebwa obuyinza, n’ekitiibwa, n’obwakabaka n’amaanyi agava waggulu; abantu bonna, n’amawanga gonna, n’abantu ab’ennimi zonna ne bamusinzanga. Okufuga kwe kwa mirembe na mirembe, tekuliggwaawo, n’obwakabaka bwe tebulizikirizibwa.
15 My spirit hadde orrour, ether hidousnesse; Y, Danyel, was aferd in these thingis, and the siytis of myn heed disturbliden me.
“Nze Danyeri ne ntawaanyizibwa mu mutima, n’okwolesebwa kwe nafuna ne kunneeraliikiriza.
16 Y neiyede to oon of the stonderis niy, and Y axide of hym the treuthe of alle these thingis. And he seide to me the interpretyng of wordis, and he tauyte me.
Ne nsemberera omu ku baali bayimiridde awo ne mubuuza amakulu g’ebyo byonna. “N’antegeeza amakulu g’ebintu ebyo, n’aŋŋamba nti,
17 These foure grete beestis ben foure rewmes, that schulen rise of erthe.
‘Ensolo enkambwe ezo ennya, be bakabaka abana abalisibuka mu nsi.
18 Forsothe hooli men schulen take the rewme of hiyeste God, and thei schulen holde the rewme, til in to the world, and `til in to the world of worldis.
Naye abatukuvu ab’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo baliweebwa obwakabaka, era buliba bwabwe emirembe n’emirembe, weewaawo okutuusa emirembe gyonna.’
19 Aftir these thingis Y wolde lerne diligentli of the fourthe beeste, that was greetli vnlijk fro alle, and was ful ferdful, the teeth and nailis therof weren of irun; it eet, and made lesse, and defoulide with hise feet othere thingis.
“Awo ne njagala okumanya ensolo enkambwe eyokuna ky’etegeeza, etaafaanana ng’endala zonna, eyali ey’entiisa ennyo, amannyo gaayo nga ga kyuma, n’enjala zaayo nga za kikomo, eyabetenta, n’emenyaamenya era n’erinnyirira ezaasigalawo.
20 And of ten hornes whiche it hadde in the heed, and of the tother horn, that cam forth, bifore which thre hornes fellen doun, and of that horn that hadde iyen, and a mouth spekynge grete thingis, and was grettere than othere;
Ate ne njagala n’okumanya ku by’amayembe ekkumi agaali ku mutwe gwayo, ne ku by’ejjembe liri eddala eryasibuka wakati mu go, asatu ne galivuunamira, ejjembe eryo lye lyalina amaaso n’akamwa akayogeranga eby’okwegulumiza, era mu buyinza nga lirabika okusinga ganne gaalyo.
21 I bihelde, and lo! thilke horn made batel ayens hooli men, and hadde maistrie of hem,
Awo bwe nnali nkyatunula, ejjembe eryo ne lirwana n’abatukuvu ne lyagala okubawangula,
22 til the elde of daies cam, and hiy God yaf doom to hooli men; and lo! tyme cam, and hooli men goten rewme.
okutuusa ow’Edda n’Edda bwe yajja n’asala omusango, abatukuvu b’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo ne bagusinga, era n’ekiseera ne kituuka ne baweebwa obwakabaka.
23 And he seide thus, The fourthe beeste schal be the fourthe rewme in erthe, that schal be more than alle rewmes, and it schal deuoure al erthe, and it schal defoule, and make lesse that erthe.
“N’annyinnyonnyola nti, ‘Ensolo enkambwe eyokuna bwe bwakabaka obwokuna obulirabika ku nsi, era tebulifaanana ng’obwakabaka obulala; era bulirya ensi yonna, ne bugirinnyirira ne bugibetentabetenta.
24 Forsothe ten hornes schulen be ten kyngis of that rewme; and another kyng schal rise after hem, and he schal be miytiere than the formere, and he schal make low thre kyngis.
Amayembe ekkumi, be bakabaka ekkumi abaliva mu bwakabaka obwo, era walirabikawo n’omulala oluvannyuma lw’abo, atalifaanana ng’aboolubereberye. Aliwangula bakabaka basatu.
25 And he schal speke wordis ayens the hiy God, and he schal defoule the seyntis of the hiyeste; and he schal gesse, that he mai chaunge tymes and lawis; and thei schulen be youun in to his hondis, til to tyme, and times, and the half of tyme.
Alyogera ebigambo ebibi ku Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo, era aligezaako okukyusakyusa ebiseera ebyateekebwawo n’amateeka agassibwawo. Era abatukuvu baliweebwayo mu mukono gwe okufugibwa okumala emyaka esatu n’ekitundu.
26 And doom schal sitte, that the power be takun awei, and be al to-brokun, and perische til in to the ende.
“‘Kyokka oluvannyuma omusango gulisalibwa, n’obuyinza bwe ne bumuggyibwako, ne buzikiririzibwa ddala.
27 Sotheli that the rewme, and power, and the greetnesse of rewme, which is vndur ech heuene, be youun to the puple of the seintis of the hiyeste, whos rewme is euerlastynge rewme, and alle kingis schulen serue, and obeie to hym.
N’oluvannyuma ekitiibwa, n’obuyinza n’obukulu obw’obwakabaka obuli wansi w’eggulu, buliweebwa abatukuvu b’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo. Obwakabaka bwe bulibeerawo emirembe gyonna, n’amatwale amalala gonna galimugondera ne gamuweereza.’
28 Hidur to is the ende of the word. Y, Danyel, was disturblid myche in my thouytis, and my face was chaungid in me; forsothe Y kepte the word in myn herte.
“Ebigambo ebyo wano we bikoma. Naye nze Danyeri natawaanyizibwa nnyo mu mutima, n’amaaso gange ne gammyuka, naye ensonga ezo ne nzeekuuma.”
