< Daniele 11 >

1 Na mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi ya Dariusi, moto ya Medi, nazalaki wana mpo na kosunga mpe kobatela ye.
And I also, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
2 Sik’oyo, nakoloba na yo solo ya likambo: « Bakonzi misato bakobima lisusu mpo na Persi; bongo mokonzi ya minei akobima lisusu, kasi akoleka bakonzi nyonso oyo bayaki liboso na ye na bomengo. Tango bomengo na ye ekopesa ye nguya, akosala ete bato nyonso batombokela Grese.
And now I will tell thee what is true. Behold, there shall arise yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than they all; and, relying upon his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
3 Kasi mokonzi moko ya nguya koleka akobima mpe akokamba na nguya nyonso, akosala makambo oyo alingi.
But a mighty king shall arise, and rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
4 Sima na kolendisama ya bokonzi na ye, mokili na ye ekobebisama mpe ekopanzana bipai na bipai; bakitani na ye bakozwa lisusu bokonzi te mpe mokili yango ekozala lisusu na nguya te, pamba te bakobotola yango mpe bakokaba yango na bato mosusu.
But when he shall have arisen, his kingdom shall be broken in pieces, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor with the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, and divided amongst others besides those.
5 Mokonzi ya sude akokoma makasi koleka, kasi moko ya bakonzi na ye ya basoda akokoma lisusu makasi koleka ye mpe akotambolisa mokili na nguya makasi koleka.
And the king of the South shall become strong; but one of his princes shall become stronger than he, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
6 Sima na mibu ebele, akosala boyokani elongo na bakonzi mosusu. Mwana mwasi ya mokonzi ya sude akokende kosala boyokani elongo na mokonzi ya nor, kasi akobatela bokonzi na ye te, mpe bakitani na ye bakowumela te. Na mikolo wana, akokufa, ye elongo na bato oyo bamemaki ye na bokonzi, tata na ye mpe mosungi na ye.
And after some years they shall ally themselves with each other; and the daughter of the king of the South shall come to the king of the North, to make peace; but she shall not retain the power of giving aid; neither shall he stand, nor his aid; but she shall be given up, and they that caused her to go, and he that begat her, and he that received her in those times.
7 Moko kati na bakitani na ye akobima mpe akozwa esika na ye; akobundisa mampinga ya mokonzi ya nor mpe akokota kati na engumba na ye, oyo batonga makasi; akobundisa bango mpe akolonga bango.
But from a shoot of her roots shall one arise in his place, who shall come to an army, and shall come against the fortresses of the king of the North, and shall deal with them according to his pleasure, and prevail against them.
8 Akozwa banzambe na bango ya bikeko, bikeko na bango oyo basala na bibende, biloko na bango ya motuya oyo basala na wolo mpe na palata mpe akomema yango na Ejipito. Akozala mosika ya mokonzi ya nor na mwa mibu.
And their gods, with their molten images, and their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry into captivity into Egypt; then shall he stand away for many years from the king of the North;
9 Mokonzi ya nor akokota na makasi kati na mokili ya mokonzi ya sude, kasi akozonga na mokili na ye.
and he shall come against the kingdom of the king of the South, but he shall return into his own land.
10 Bana ya mokonzi ya nor bokobongama mpo na bitumba mpe bakosangisa mampinga ya basoda ebele, bongo bakomema lokola mpela biloko nyonso oyo bakomona na nzela; bakobunda bitumba makasi kino na ndako batonga makasi ya mokonzi ya sude.
But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of large forces; and one of them shall move onward, and overflow, and pass through, and shall again stir himself up to carry on the war even to his stronghold.
11 Mokonzi ya sude akobima na kanda, akosangisa mampinga moko monene, akobundisa mokonzi ya mokili ya nor mpe akolonga ye.
Then shall the king of the South be enraged, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the North; and shall lead forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
12 Tango bakolonga mampinga ya mokonzi ya nor, mokonzi ya mokili ya sude akotondisama na lolendo mpe akoboma bato ebele, kasi elonga na ye ekowumela te.
And the multitude shall be elated, and his heart shall be lifted up, and he shall cast down tens of thousands; but he shall not be strong.
13 Pamba te mokonzi ya mokili ya nor akosangisa mampinga monene ya basoda koleka oyo ya liboso mpe, sima na mibu ebele, akozonga elongo na mampinga ya basoda ebele mpe na bibundeli ebele.
For the king of the North shall return and raise up against him a multitude greater than the former, and shall steadily come after certain years with a great army and with great riches.
14 Na tango wana, bato ebele bakotombokela mokonzi ya mokili ya sude. Bato ya mobulu kati na bato na yo, Daniele, bakotomboka mpo ete emoniseli ekokokisama, kasi bakolonga te.
And in those times many will stand up against the king of the South; and violent men of thy people shall exalt themselves, so as to establish the vision, and shall fall.
15 Mokonzi ya mokili ya nor akoya kotonga mwa bangomba ya mabele zingazinga ya engumba oyo batonga makasi mpe akobotola yango. Mampinga ya basoda ya mokonzi ya sude bakokoka kobundisa ye te. Ezala basoda na bango ya mpiko, bakozala ata na makasi ya kobunda te.
And the king of the North shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a fortified city; and the arms of the South shall not withstand, neither his chosen men, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
16 Mokonzi ya nor akosala makambo nyonso oyo alingi mpe moto moko te akokoka kotelema liboso na ye. Akovanda na mokili oyo eleki kitoko mpe akobebisa yango.
And he that cometh against him shall do according to his will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction shall be in his hand.
17 Akozwa mokano ya koya elongo na mampinga ya mokili na ye mobimba mpe akosala boyokani elongo na mokonzi ya sude. Mokonzi ya nor akopesa ye mwana na ye ya mwasi na libala mpo ete akoka kobebisa mokili na ye, kasi mabongisi na ye ekolonga te mpe akozwa mokili yango te.
And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and shall make pacification with him; and he shall give him his daughter in marriage, to ruin his dominion. But it shall not succeed, neither shall it be for him.
18 Akokitela bisanga mpe akobotola ebele kati na yango. Kasi atako bongo, mokonzi ya mampinga moko ya basoda akosukisa lolendo na ye mpe akozongisela ye mabe mpo na lolendo na ye. Mokonzi ya nor akokoka lisusu kosala eloko moko te.
After this he shall turn his face to the isles, and shall take many; but a commander shall put an end to his scorn; nay, shall cause his scorn to return upon himself.
19 Sima na yango, akozonga na bandako batonga makasi ya mokili na ye, kasi akobeta libaku mpe akokweya; bongo bakotikala komona ye lisusu te.
Then shall he turn his face to the strongholds of his own land; and he shall stumble, and fall, and shall not be found.
20 Mokitani na ye akotinda mofutisi mpako moko na esika oyo eleki lokumu kati na mokili. Sima na mwa mikolo, mokonzi mpe akobebisama, kasi ekozala na botomboki te mpe na bitumba te.
Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exacter of tribute through the glory of his kingdom; but within few days shall he be destroyed, neither by anger nor by battle.
21 Moto moko azanga ata tina mpe batikala kopesa ata lokumu ya bokonzi te akokitana na ye; akoya na tango ya kimia mpe akozwa bokonzi na nzela ya mayele mabe.
And in his place shall arise a despised person, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom; but in the midst of peace he shall come in and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 Mampinga ya banguna bakokweya liboso na ye, mampinga yango mpe mokonzi ya boyokani bakobebisama.
And the forces of a flood shall be overwhelmed before him, and shall be broken in pieces; and even the prince that is allied with him.
23 Atako basalaki boyokani elongo na ye, akosalela kaka mayele mabe; akobebisa boyokani oyo basalaki, akobundisa bango mpe akolonga na nzela ya bato moke kaka.
For after making a league with him, he will practise deceit; for he will come up, and prevail with a small people.
24 Na tango ya kimia, akokota na makasi kati na bituka oyo etonda na bomengo mpe akokokisa makambo oyo ata moko te kati na batata to bakoko na ye batikala kosala: akobotola na makasi biloko mpe bomengo ya mokili, bongo akokabola yango epai na bato na ye; akosala mabongisi ya kobundisa bingumba batonga makasi, kasi nyonso wana kaka ekowumela tango moke.
In the midst of security shall he come into the fattest provinces of the land, and he shall do what his fathers never did, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and riches; and he shall form his devices against the strongholds, even to a set time.
25 Akovandisa makanisi na ye mpe akotelema na mpiko, akosangisa mampinga monene mpo na kobundisa mokonzi ya sude. Mpe mokonzi ya sude akosangisa mampinga monene mpe ya nguya mpo na kobundisa ye, kasi akolonga te mpo na likita oyo basalelaki ye.
And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South, with a great army; and the king of the South shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall form devices against him.
26 Bato oyo baliaka elongo na mokonzi bakoluka koboma ye, mampinga na ye bakobebisama mpe basoda ebele bakokufa na bitumba.
Even they that eat of his own food shall destroy him; and his army shall overflow, and many shall fall down slain.
27 Bakonzi oyo mibale, na mitema na bango ya mabe, bakovanda esika moko. Lokola batonda na mayele mabe, bakolobana lokuta kasi ekosimba te, pamba te suka ya makambo ekoya kaka na tango oyo ekatama.
And the hearts of both these kings shall be to do mischief; and at one table shall they speak lies; but it shall not prosper; for yet the end is for the appointed time.
28 Mokonzi ya nor akozonga na mokili na ye na bomengo ebele, kasi makanisi ya motema na ye ekotelemela boyokani ya bule; mpe akokokisa yango liboso ete azonga na mokili na ye.
Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and he will set his heart against the holy covenant, and he will execute his purposes, and return to his own land.
29 Na tango oyo ekatama, akokota lisusu na mokili ya sude na makasi; kasi na mbala oyo, makambo ekosalema ndenge moko te na mbala oyo ya liboso.
At the appointed time he shall again go against the South; but the second time it shall not be as at the first.
30 Bamasuwa oyo ekowuta na ngambo ya weste ya ebale monene Mediterane ekobundisa ye; bongo, akolemba nzoto, akosilika makasi mpe akotombokela boyokani ya bule. Tango akozonga, akotalisa ngolu epai ya bato oyo bakobebisa boyokani ya bule.
For the Chittaean ships shall come against him, and he shall be discouraged, and return, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and execute his purposes; and he shall again have an understanding with them that forsake the holy covenant.
31 Mampinga ya basoda na ye bakotelema mpo na kobebisa bosantu ya Tempelo mpe kobuka engumba batonga makasi; bakopekisa kobonza mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo mpe bakotonga etumbelo mpo na nzambe oyo babengaka Zewusi.
And forces shall be raised by him, which shall pollute the sanctuary, the stronghold, and take away the daily sacrifice, and set up the abomination of the destroyer.
32 Na mayele na ye ya mabe, akokosa bato oyo babukaki boyokani; kasi bato oyo bayebi Nzambe na bango bakotelemela ye makasi.
And such as do wickedly against the covenant will he lead to apostasy by flatteries; but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 Ba-oyo bakozala na bwanya kati na bato bakoteya bato ebele, atako bakokufa na mopanga na mwa tango moke to bakozika na moto to bakobwakama na boloko to mpe bakobotola bango biloko na makasi.
And they that have understanding among the people shall instruct many; but they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Tango bakokweya, bakozwa kaka lisungi moke, mpe bato ebele bakoya kosangana na bango na mitema mibale.
And whilst they fall they shall receive a little help, and many shall join themselves to them with flatteries.
35 Bato mosusu kati na bato ya bwanya bakobeta mabaku, mpo ete bakomisama bato ya kokoka, bapetolama mpe bazangi mbeba, mpo na tango ya suka, pamba te suka ya makambo ekoya kaka na tango oyo ekatama.
And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purify, and cleanse, even to the time of the end, for it is yet at the time appointed.
36 Mokonzi akosala makambo oyo alingi, akokoma lolendo, akotombola mapeka liboso ya banzambe nyonso mpe akoloba makambo ezanga tina mpo na kotiola Nzambe ya banzambe; akolonga kino tango kanda makasi ya Nzambe ekosila, pamba te makambo nyonso oyo ekatama esengeli kokokisama.
And the king shall do according to his will; and he will exalt himself and magnify himself against every god, and he will speak horrible things against the God of gods, and he will prosper until the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.
37 Akopesa lokumu te, ezala epai ya banzambe ya batata na ye to epai ya nzambe oyo basi balingaka to mpe epai ya banzambe nyonso mosusu; pamba te akomitombola liboso na bango nyonso.
Neither will he regard the god of his fathers, nor the desire of women; nor will he regard any god, but he will magnify himself against all.
38 Na esika ya kosambela banzambe wana, akosambela nzambe ya bandako batonga makasi; akobonza wolo, palata, mabanga ya talo mpe makabo mosusu ya talo epai ya nzambe oyo bakoko na ye batikalaki koyeba te.
But in their place will he honor the god of strongholds, even the god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and with silver, and with precious stones, and with jewels.
39 Akobundisa bandako batonga makasi na lisungi ya nzambe moko ya bapaya, mpe akopesa lokumu koleka epai ya bato oyo bakopesa nzambe yango lokumu. Akokomisa bango bakambi ya bato ebele mpe akokabolela bango mokili lokola lifuti.
And he shall do his will against fenced strongholds with a strange god; whoever acknowledge him, to them he will give great honor, and give them dominion over many, and divide the land amongst them for a reward.
40 Na tango ya suka, mokonzi ya sude akobundisa mokonzi ya nor, kasi mokonzi ya nor akobimela ye elongo na bashar, bampunda mpe bamasuwa ya bitumba. Akokota na makasi na bikolo ebele mpe akomema lokola mpela eloko nyonso oyo akomona na nzela.
But at the time of the end shall the king of the South push at him, and the king of the North shall rush against him like a whirlwind with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and overflow them, and pass over them.
41 Akokota lisusu na makasi na mokili ya kitoko. Bikolo ebele ekokweya, kasi Edomi, Moabi mpe bakonzi ya Amoni bakokima ye.
He shall also enter into the beautiful land, and multitudes shall be overthrown; but these shall escape out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.
42 Bokonzi na ye ekopanzana na bikolo ebele, ezala mokili ya Ejipito ekobika te.
He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 Akobotola wolo, palata mpe bomengo nyonso ya mokili ya Ejipito, bongo bato ya Libi mpe ya Kushi bakosala ndenge moko kaka na ye.
And he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Lybians and Ethiopians shall be in his train.
44 Kasi basango oyo akozwa wuta na este mpe na nor ekotungisa ye, mpe akobima na mokili na kanda makasi mpo na koboma mpe kosilisa bato ebele.
But tidings out of the East and out of the North shall trouble him, and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to take away many.
45 Akotelemisa bandako na ye ya kapo ya bokonzi na ngambo moko ya ebale monene, pembeni ya ngomba ya bule. Boye, akokoma na suka mpe moto oyo akosunga ye akozala te.
And he shall pitch his palace-tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain; but he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
