< Daniel 5 >
1 Belshazzar the king hath made a great feast to a thousand of his great men, and before the thousand he is 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 hath said — while tasting the wine — to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that drink with them may the king, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines.
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 they have brought in the vessels of gold that had been taken out of the temple of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and drunk with them have the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines;
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 have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Wana bazalaki komela vino, bazalaki kokumisa banzambe ya wolo mpe ya palata, ya bronze, ya ebende, ya nzete mpe ya libanga.
5 In that hour come forth have fingers of a man's hand, and they are writing over-against the candlestick, on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is 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 the king's countenance hath changed, and his thoughts do trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are smiting 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 Call doth the king mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. Answered hath the king, and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, 'Any man who doth read this writing, and its interpretation doth shew me, purple he putteth on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and third in the kingdom he doth rule.'
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 coming up are all the wise men of the king, and they are not able to read the writing, and the interpretation to 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 the king Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are 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, on account of the words of the king and his great men, to the banquet-house hath come up. Answered hath the queen, and said, 'O king, to the ages live; let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor thy countenance 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 understanding, and wisdom — as the wisdom of the gods — was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him — 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 because that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of enigmas, and loosing of knots was found in him, in Daniel, whose name the king made Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and the interpretation he doth show.'
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 hath been caused to come up before the king; answered hath the king, and said to Daniel, 'Thou art that Daniel who [art] of the sons of the Removed of Judah, whom the king my father brought in 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 And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods [is] in thee, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been 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 'And now, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that this writing they may read, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to shew the interpretation of the thing:
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 and I — I have heard of thee, that thou art able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, lo — thou art able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know — purple thou dost put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on thy neck, and third in the kingdom thou dost rule.'
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 hath Daniel answered and said before the king, 'Thy gifts be to thyself, and thy fee to another give; nevertheless, the writing I do read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know;
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 thou, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour, gave to 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 because of the greatness that He gave to him, all peoples, nations, and languages were trembling and fearing before him: whom he willed he was slaying, and whom he willed he was keeping alive, and whom he willed he was raising up, and whom he willed he was making low;
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 and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he hath been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away 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 the sons of men he is driven, and his heart with the beasts hath been like, and with the wild asses [is] his dwelling; the herb like oxen they cause him to eat, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, till that he hath known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He willeth He raiseth 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 thou, his son, Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though all this thou hast known;
Mpe yo Balitazari, mwana na ye ya mobali, atako oyebaki makambo wana nyonso, otamboli na komikitisa te.
23 and against the Lord of the heavens thou hast lifted up thyself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before thee, and thou, and thy great men, thy wives, and thy concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, thou hast praised: and the God in whose hand [is] thy breath, and all thy ways, Him thou hast not honoured.
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 from before Him sent is the extremity of the hand, and the writing is noted down;
Yango wana, atindi loboko oyo ekomi makomi oyo.
25 and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
Tala makomi oyo ekomami: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.
26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered — God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
Ndimbola ya maloba yango ezali: Mene: Nzambe atangi mikolo ya bokonzi na yo mpe akomisi yango na suka;
27 Weighed — Thou art weighed in the balances, and hast been found lacking.
Tekel: bameki kilo na yo na emekelo kilo, mpe emonani ete ozali na yo pepele;
28 Divided — Divided is thy kingdom, and it hath been given to the Medes and Persians.'
Parsin: bokonzi na yo ekabwani mpe epesami epai ya bato ya Medi mpe ya Persi.
29 Then hath Belshazzar said, and they have clothed Daniel with purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and they have proclaimed concerning him that he is the third ruler in 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 Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
Mpe kaka na butu wana, babomaki Balitazari, mokonzi ya bato ya Babiloni.
31 and Darius the Mede hath received the kingdom, when a son of sixty and two years.
Dariusi, moto ya Medi, akomaki mokonzi tango akokisaki mibu tuku motoba na mibale ya mbotama.
