Daniele 10
1 Na mobu ya misato ya bokonzi ya Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi, Nzambe alakisaki makambo epai ya Daniele oyo bazalaki kobenga Belitsatsari. Makambo yango ezalaki ya solo: etalisaki pasi makasi oyo ekoya. Daniele azwaki mayele ya kososola yango kati na emoniseli.
In the third year of Cyrus the king of Persia a word was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word is the truth, but the time appointed is long off: and he noted the word, and took notice of it in the appearance.
2 Na tango wana, ngai Daniele, nasalaki matanga oyo esalaki baposo misato.
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 Nazalaki kolia lisusu bilei ya kitoko te; ezala misuni to vino, eloko moko te ekotaki lisusu na monoko na ngai. Mpe, na baposo misato wana, nazalaki kopakola lisusu mafuta ya solo kitoko te.
Costly food did I not eat, and flesh and wine came not in my mouth, nor did I at all anoint myself, till three whole weeks were elapsed.
4 Na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya liboso, tango nazalaki pembeni ya ebale monene Tigre,
And on the four and twentieth day of the first month, while I was by the side of the great river, which is Chiddekel,
5 natombolaki miso na ngai na likolo mpe namonaki moto moko alata bilamba ya lino mpe mokaba moko ya wolo ya Ufazi na loketo na ye.
I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold there was a certain man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz;
6 Nzoto na ye ezalaki kongenga lokola topaze, elongi na ye ezalaki kongala lokola mokalikali, miso na ye ezalaki kopela lokola moto, maboko mpe makolo na ye ezalaki kongenga lokola ebende ya bronze oyo balekisa na moto, mpe mongongo na ye ezalaki koyokana lokola makelele ya bato ebele.
And his body was also like the chrysolite, and his face, like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were like torches of fire, and his arms and his feet, like the color of polished copper, and the sound of his words was like the noise of a multitude.
7 Ngai, Daniele, ngai moko kaka nde namonaki emoniseli yango. Bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ngai bamonaki yango te, kasi somo makasi ekweyelaki bango, bakimaki mpe babombamaki.
And I Daniel saw alone this appearance; but the men that were with me did not see the appearance: nevertheless a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Boye, natikalaki kaka ngai moko mpe nakomaki kotala emoniseli monene yango; makasi esilaki ngai, elongi na ngai ebebaki makasi mpe nalembaki nzoto.
And I was left by myself alone, and I saw this great appearance, and there remained no strength in me; and my healthy color was changed on me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 Nayokaki moto yango koloba; bongo wana nazalaki koyoka mongongo na ye, nakweyaki makalikali, elongi kino na mabele.
Then heard I the sound of his words; and as I heard the sound of his words, I sank in amazement on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 Loboko moko esimbaki ngai mpe etelemisaki ngai, makolo mpe maboko na ngai ekomaki kolenga.
And, behold, a hand touched me, and it moved me upon my knees and the palms of my hands.
11 Bongo moto yango alobaki na ngai: — Daniele, molingami ya Nzambe, yoka malamu maloba oyo nazali koyebisa yo mpe telema na esika oyo ozali, pamba te natindami sik’oyo epai na yo. Wana azalaki nanu koloba na ngai, natelemaki na kolenga.
And he said unto me, O Daniel, the man greatly beloved, mark well the words that I speak unto thee, and stand on thy standing-place; for now have I been sent unto thee. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood up trembling.
12 Akobaki koloba na ngai: — Daniele, kobanga te! Wuta mokolo ya liboso oyo ozwaki makanisi ya koluka kososola mpe komikitisa liboso ya Nzambe na yo, libondeli na yo eyokamaki, mpe nayaki lokola eyano na libondeli yango.
And he said unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to obtain understanding, and to fast before thy God, were thy words heard: and I am come in consequence of thy words.
13 Kasi mokambi ya mokili ya Persi atelemelaki ngai mikolo tuku mibale na moko. Boye, Misheli, moko kati na bakonzi ya ba-anjelu, ayaki kosunga ngai, pamba te bakonzi ya Persi bakangaki ngai kuna.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia stood up against me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I obtained the victory there with the kings of Persia.
14 Sik’oyo, nayei kolimbolela yo makambo oyo ekokomela bato na yo na mikolo ekoya, pamba te emoniseli oyo ezali kolobela lisusu makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo ekoya.
Now am I come to make thee understand what is to befall thy people, in the latter days; for the vision is yet for the [coming] days.
15 Wana azalaki koloba na ngai, nakitisaki elongi mpe nakokaki lisusu koloba te.
And when he spoke unto me such words, I directed my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
16 Boye, ekelamu oyo ezalaki lokola moto esimbaki bibebu na ngai, mpe nakokaki lisusu kofungola monoko na ngai mpo na koloba. Nalobaki na ekelamu oyo etelemaki liboso na ngai: — Nkolo na ngai, molimo na ngai etungisami likolo ya emoniseli oyo nasili kozwa, mpe, ngai moto, nalembi nzoto!
And, behold, something like the form of the sons of men touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and I spoke, and said unto him that stood opposite to me, O my lord, because of the appearance my pains suddenly overcame me, and I have retained no strength.
17 Ndenge nini mosali lokola ngai, nakoka solo kosolola na yo, nkolo na ngai, awa makasi esili ngai mpe kopema na ngai ekomi na pasi?
And how shall the servant of this my lord be able to speak with this my lord? And as for me, from that moment there remained no strength in me, and no breath was left in me.
18 Ekelamu oyo ezalaki lokola moto esimbaki ngai lisusu mpe epesaki ngai makasi.
Then there touched me again something like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me;
19 Elobaki na ngai: — Molingami ya Nzambe, kobanga te, zala na kimia! Zala makasi; solo, zala makasi! Wana ezalaki koloba na ngai, nzoto na ngai ezwaki lisusu makasi mpe nalobaki: — Loba, nkolo na ngai, pamba te opesi ngai makasi.
And he said, Fear not, O man greatly beloved: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spoke with me, I felt myself strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20 Boye, elobaki: — Boni, oyebi mpo na nini nayei epai na yo? Sik’oyo, nakomi pene ya kozonga mpo na kobundisa mokambi ya Persi; mpe tango ngai nakokende, mokambi ya Grese akoya;
Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and as I am going forth, lo, the prince of Javan is coming.
21 kasi liboso na nyonso, nakoyebisa yo makambo oyo ekomami kati na buku ya solo. Moto moko te asungaka ngai liboso na bango; kaka Misheli, mokambi na bino.
Nevertheless will I tell thee what is noted down in the writing of truth: —and there is none that holdeth with me [to assist me] against those, except Michael your prince.
