< Daniele 11 >

1 Na mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi ya Dariusi, moto ya Medi, nazalaki wana mpo na kosunga mpe kobatela ye.
In the first year of Darius the Mede, I myself came to support and protect Michael.
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.
Now I will tell you the truth. Three kings will arise in Persia, and a fourth will be far richer than all the others. When he has gained power through his riches, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.
3 Kasi mokonzi moko ya nguya koleka akobima mpe akokamba na nguya nyonso, akosala makambo oyo alingi.
A mighty king will rise up who will rule a very great kingdom, and he will act according to his desires.
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.
When he has risen up, his kingdom will be broken and divided to the four winds of heaven, but not to his own descendants, and not with his power when he had been ruling. For his kingdom will be uprooted for others besides his descendants.
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.
The king of the South will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he and will rule his kingdom with great power.
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.
After a few years, when the time is right, they will make an alliance. The daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to confirm the agreement. But she will not keep her arm's strength, nor will he stand, or his arm. She will be abandoned—she and those who brought her, and her father, and the one who supported 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 a branch from her roots will rise up in her place. He will attack the army and enter the fortress of the king of the North. He will fight them, and he will conquer 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.
He will carry off to Egypt their gods along with their cast metal figures and their precious vessels of silver and of gold. For some years he will stay away 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.
Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South, but he will withdraw to 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.
His sons will get ready and assemble a great army. It will keep coming and will flood everything; it will pass through all the way to his fortress.
11 Mokonzi ya sude akobima na kanda, akosangisa mampinga moko monene, akobundisa mokonzi ya mokili ya nor mpe akolonga ye.
Then the king of the South will become very angry; he will go and fight against him, the king of the North. The king of the North will raise up a great army, but the army will 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.
The army will be carried off, and the heart of the king of the South will be lifted up, and he will make tens of thousands to fall, but he will not be victorious.
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.
Then the king of the North will raise up another army, greater than the first. After some years, the king of the North will surely come with a great army supplied with much equipment.
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.
In those times many will rise against the king of the South. Sons of the violent among your people will set themselves in order to fulfill a vision, but they will stumble.
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.
The king of the North will come, pour out earth for siege mounds, and capture a city with fortifications. The forces of the South will not be able to stand, not even their best soldiers. There will be no strength to stand.
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.
Instead, the one who comes will act according to his desires against him; no one will stand in his way. He will stand in the land of beauty, and destruction will 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.
The king of the North will set his face to come with the strength of his entire kingdom, and with him will be an agreement that he will make with the king of the South. He will give him a daughter of women in marriage to ruin the kingdom of the South. But the plan will not succeed or help 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, the king of the North will pay attention to the coastlands and will capture many of them. But a commander will end his arrogance and will cause his arrogance to turn back upon him.
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 he will pay attention to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall; he will 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 someone will rise up in his place who will make a tax collector pass through for the sake of the splendor of the kingdom. But in the next days he will be broken, but not in anger or in 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.
In his place will rise up a despised person to whom the people will not have given the honor of royal power; he will come unexpectedly and will take over the kingdom by trickery.
22 Mampinga ya banguna bakokweya liboso na ye, mampinga yango mpe mokonzi ya boyokani bakobebisama.
An army will be swept away like a flood from before him. Both that army and the leader of the covenant will be destroyed.
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.
From the time an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully; with only a small number of people he will become strong.
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.
Without warning he will come into the richest part of the province, and he will do what neither his father nor his father's father did. He will spread among his followers the booty, the plunder, and the wealth. He will plan the overthrow of fortresses, but only for a 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.
He will wake up his power and his heart against the king of the South with a great army. The king of the South will wage war with a large, very powerful army, but he will not stand because others will make plots against him.
26 Bato oyo baliaka elongo na mokonzi bakoluka koboma ye, mampinga na ye bakobebisama mpe basoda ebele bakokufa na bitumba.
Even those who eat his fine food will try to destroy him. His army will be swept away like a flood, and many of them will fall killed.
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.
Both these kings, with their hearts set on evil against each other, will sit at the same table and lie to each other, but it will be of no use. For the end will come at the time that has been fixed.
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 the king of the North will go back into his land with great riches, with his heart set against the holy covenant. He will act and then will 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 will return and come against the South again. But this time it will not be as before.
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 ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will become afraid and will turn back. He will be furious against the holy covenant, and he will show favor to those who 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.
His forces will rise up and profane the fortress sanctuary. They will take away the regular burnt offering, and they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.
32 Na mayele na ye ya mabe, akokosa bato oyo babukaki boyokani; kasi bato oyo bayebi Nzambe na bango bakotelemela ye makasi.
As for those who acted wickedly against the covenant, he will deceive them and corrupt them. But the people who know their God will be strong and will take action.
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.
The wise among the people will make many understand. But they will stumble by the sword and by flame; they will stumble into captivity and into being robbed for days.
34 Tango bakokweya, bakozwa kaka lisungi moke, mpe bato ebele bakoya kosangana na bango na mitema mibale.
In their stumbling, they will be helped with a little help. In hypocrisy many will join themselves with them.
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.
Some of the wise will stumble so that refining will happen to them, and cleansing, and purifying, until the time of the end. For the appointed time is still to come.
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.
The king will act according to his desires. He will lift himself up and make himself great above every god. Against the God of gods he will say astonishing things, for he will succeed until the wrath is completed. For what has been decreed will 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.
He will pay no attention to the gods of his ancestors or to the god desirable to women. Neither will he will pay attention to any other god. For all above every one he will make himself great.
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.
He will honor the god of fortresses instead of these. It is a god whom his fathers did not acknowledge that he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and valuable gifts.
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.
He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. To anyone who acknowledges him, he will give much honor. He will make them rulers over many people, and he will divide up the land as 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.
At the time of the end the king of the South will attack. The king of the North will storm against him with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. He will go against lands, flood them, and pass through.
41 Akokota lisusu na makasi na mokili ya kitoko. Bikolo ebele ekokweya, kasi Edomi, Moabi mpe bakonzi ya Amoni bakokima ye.
He will go into the land of beauty, and tens of thousands of Israelites will fall. But these will escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the remainder of the people of Ammon.
42 Bokonzi na ye ekopanzana na bikolo ebele, ezala mokili ya Ejipito ekobika te.
He will extend his hand into lands; the land of Egypt will not be rescued.
43 Akobotola wolo, palata mpe bomengo nyonso ya mokili ya Ejipito, bongo bato ya Libi mpe ya Kushi bakosala ndenge moko kaka na ye.
He will have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; the Libyans and the Cushites will be in his footsteps.
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 news from the east and the north will frighten him, and he will go out with great rage to completely destroy and to set many apart for destruction.
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.
He will set up the tent of his royal residence between the seas and the mountain of the beauty of holiness. He will come to his end, and there will be no helper for him.
