Daniele 7
1 Na mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi ya Balitazari, mokonzi ya Babiloni, Daniele alotaki ndoto moko: bimoniseli eyaki na makanisi na ye tango azalaki ya kolala na mbeto na ye. Bongo, akomaki ndoto yango mpe alobaki mama na likambo na yango.
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions in his mind on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the summary of it.
2 Daniele alobaki: Na emoniseli oyo nazwaki na butu, namonaki mipepe minei kowuta na likolo mpe eningisaki ebale monene.
Daniel spoke and said, "I saw in my vision by night, and, look, the four winds of the sky broke forth on the great sea.
3 Banyama minei ya minene, ekesana yango nyonso, ebimaki wuta na ebale monene.
Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
4 Nyama ya liboso ezalaki lokola nkosi mpe ezalaki na mapapu lokola mpongo. Wana nazalaki kotala, balongolaki yango mapapu, batombolaki yango longwa na mabele mpo ete etelema na makolo mibale lokola moto; mpe bapesaki yango motema ya moto.
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I saw until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand on two feet as a man; and a man's mind was given to it.
5 Bongo, namonaki nyama ya mibale: ezalaki lokola ngombolo; etelemaki na moko ya mipanzi na yango mpe ezalaki na mikuwa ya mipanzi misato na kati-kati ya minu ya monoko na yango. Balobaki na yango: « Telema, lia mpe otonda misuni! »
And look, another animal, a second one, like a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to it, 'Arise, devour much flesh.'
6 Sima na yango, nakobaki kotala mpe namonaki nyama mosusu: ezalaki lokola nkoyi, mpe mokongo na yango ezalaki na mapapu minei lokola mapapu ya ndeke. Nyama yango ezalaki na mito minei, bongo bapesaki yango bokonzi ya kokamba.
After this I saw, and look, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 Sima na yango, kati na emoniseli na ngai ya butu, namonaki nyama ya minei: ezalaki somo, ezalaki kobangisa mpe ezalaki na nguya makasi penza. Ezalaki na minu minene ya bibende; ezalaki kolia, kopanzapanza mpe konyata misuni oyo ezalaki kotikala; ekesenaki makasi na banyama nyonso ya liboso mpe ezalaki na maseke zomi.
After this I saw in the night visions, and look, a fourth animal, awesome and powerful, and extremely strong. And it had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet. And it was diverse from all the animals that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 Wana nazali kotala malamu maseke, namonaki liseke mosusu ya moke kobima kati na maseke wana; bongo maseke misato kati na maseke ya liboso elongwaki liboso ya liseke ya moke oyo ezalaki na miso lokola ya moto mpe monoko oyo ezalaki koloba na lolendo.
I considered the horns, and look, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And look, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogant things.
9 Wana nazalaki kotala, namonaki bazali kotanda bakiti ya bokonzi, mpe Mpaka oyo azala liboso ya tango avandaki na moko kati na bakiti yango. Bilamba na Ye ezalaki pembe lokola mvula ya pembe, suki ya moto na Ye ezalaki pembe lokola bapwale ya meme, oyo basukola malamu. Kiti ya Bokonzi na Ye ezalaki lokola moto, mpe bapine na yango ezalaki lokola moto oyo ezali kongala.
I saw until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire.
10 Ebale ya moto ezalaki kobima mpe kotambola liboso na Ye. Minkoko ya bato bazalaki kosalela Ye, minkoko ya minkoko ya bato batelemaki liboso na Ye. Basambisi bavandaki, mpe babuku efungwamaki.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.
11 Nakobaki kotala mpo na maloba ya lofundu oyo liseke yango ezalaki koloba; mpe wana nazalaki kaka kotala, babomaki nyama yango, nzoto na yango ebebaki mpe babwakaki yango na moto.
I saw at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I was watching until the animal was killed and its body destroyed and was given to be burned with fire.
12 Balongolaki bokonzi ya banyama mosusu, kasi babakiselaki yango mikolo ya bomoi kino na tango oyo ekatama.
As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 Kati na bimoniseli na ngai ya butu,
I saw in the night visions, and look, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him.
14 Bapesaki Ye bokonzi, lokumu mpe nguya;
There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
15 Ngai, Daniele, namitungisaki makasi; mpe bimoniseli oyo eyaki na makanisi na ngai ebangisaki ngai makasi.
As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my mind troubled me.
16 Napusanaki pene ya moko kati na ba-oyo batelemaki wana, natunaki ye ndimbola ya solo ya makambo oyo namonaki. Ayanolaki ngai mpe apesaki ngai ndimbola ya makambo wana nyonso:
I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the true meaning concerning all this. So he told me, and revealed to me the interpretation of these things.
17 — Banyama nyonso minei wana ya minene ezali kolakisa bakonzi minei oyo bakobima na mabele;
These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth.
18 kasi basantu ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo bakozwa bokonzi mpe bakobatela yango mpo na libela, seko na seko.
But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.
19 Bongo, nalingaki koyeba na bosolo ndimbola ya nyama ya minei oyo ekesenaki makasi na banyama mosusu wana, ezalaki kobangisa makasi, ezalaki na minu ya bibende mpe mbanga ya bronze, ezalaki kolia, kopanzapanza mpe konyata misuni oyo ezalaki etikala.
Then I desired to know the true meaning concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its claws of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet.
20 Nalingaki lisusu koyeba ndimbola ya maseke zomi oyo ezalaki na moto na yango mpe ya liseke mosusu oyo ebimaki, oyo maseke misato kati na maseke wana zomi ekweyaki liboso na yango, oyo ezalaki na miso mpe na monoko oyo ezalaki koloba na lolendo, mpe oyo ezalaki makasi koleka maseke mosusu.
And concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke arrogant things, whose look was larger than the others.
21 Wana nazalaki kotala liseke yango, namonaki yango kobundisa mpe kolonga basantu
I saw, and the same horn made war with the holy ones, and prevailed against them,
22 kino tango Mpaka oyo azala liboso ya tango ayaki kobundela basantu ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, mpe kino tango ya kozwa bokonzi ekokoka mpo na bango.
until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came that the holy ones possessed the kingdom.
23 Moto oyo natunaki ndimbola ya ndoto alobaki na ngai: — Nyama oyo ya minei ezali mokonzi ya minei oyo akobima na mabele. Akokesana makasi na babokonzi wana nyonso: akoboma mokili mobimba, akonyata mpe akopanza-panza yango.
This he said, 'The fourth animal shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 Maseke zomi elingi koloba ete bakonzi zomi bakobima na bokonzi oyo. Sima na bango, mokonzi mosusu akobima, akokesana na bakonzi ya liboso mpe akokweyisa bakonzi misato;
As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise, and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
25 akotiola na maloba na ye Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, akonyokola basantu na Ye, akomeka ata kobongola manaka ya bafeti oyo ekatama mpe mibeko. Basantu bakozala na se ya bokonzi na ye mibu misato na ndambo.
He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall oppress the holy ones of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given over to him until a time and times and half a time.
26 Kasi bato ya mibeko bakovanda lisanga mpe bakobotola ye bokonzi, mpe bokonzi yango ekokufa mpe ekolimwa libela.
And the court shall sit in judgment, and they shall take away his dominion, consumed and completely destroyed forever.
27 Kasi bokonzi, nguya mpe lokumu ya bikolo oyo ezali na se ya moyi ekopesama na ekolo ya basantu ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo. Bokonzi ya ekolo yango ekowumela seko na seko, mpe bakonzi ya bikolo nyonso ya mokili bakosalela mpe bakotosa ekolo yango.
The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.'
28 Lisolo ya ndoto na ngai esuki awa. Ngai, Daniele, namitungisaki mingi kati na motema na ngai, elongi na ngai ebebaki na somo mpe nabombaki makambo oyo kati na motema na ngai.
Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. I kept the matter to myself."
