Daniele 8
1 Na mobu ya misato ya bokonzi ya mokonzi Balitazari, ngai, Daniele, nazwaki emoniseli moko ya sika, sima na oyo nazwaki liboso.
In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar a vision appeared to me, [even] to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 Kati na emoniseli yango, nazalaki kotala mpe namimonaki lokola kati na Size, engumba batonga makasi, kati na etuka ya Elami; kati na emoniseli yango kaka, namimonaki lisusu lokola natelemi pembeni ya moluka Ulayi.
And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Aelam, and I was on the [bank of] Ubal.
3 Natombolaki miso na ngai na likolo mpe namonaki, liboso na ngai, meme moko ya mobali etelemi pembeni ya moluka; ezalaki na maseke mibale ya milayi makasi, kasi moko kati na maseke yango, oyo ebotaki sima, elekaki mosusu na molayi.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a ram standing in front of the Ubal; and he had high horns; and one was higher than the other, and the high one came up last.
4 Bongo, namonaki meme ya mobali ezali kobeta na ngambo ya weste, ya nor mpe na sude. Nyama moko te ekokaki kobundisa yango mpe moto moko te akokaki kokangola soki ekangi yango. Ezalaki kosala nyonso oyo yango elingi mpe ezalaki kokola.
And I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was none that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great.
5 Wana nazalaki kokanisa na tina na yango, ntaba moko ya mobali eyaki wuta na ngambo ya weste; ezalaki kotambola mabele mobimba na kozanga konyata yango. Ntaba yango ya mobali ezalaki na liseke moko ya monene na kati-kati ya miso na yango;
And I was considering, and, behold, a he-goat came from the southwest on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the earth: and the goat [had] a horn between his eyes.
6 eyaki kino epai ya meme ya mobali oyo namonaki etelemi pembeni ya moluka mpe ezalaki na maseke mibale; ebetaki yango makasi, na maseki te.
And he came to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing in front of the Ubal, and he ran at him with the violence of his strength.
7 Namonaki ntaba yango kopusana pene ya meme ya mobali na kanda makasi, ebetaki meme ya mobali mpe ebukaki yango maseke nyonso mibale; meme ezalaki ata na makasi te ya kobundisa ntaba. Boye, ntaba ebwakaki meme na mabele mpe enyataki yango; mpe ezalaki na moto moko te mpo na kobikisa meme ya mobali na maboko ya ntaba wana.
And I saw him coming up close to the ram, and he was furiously enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke both his horns: and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him on the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Ntaba ya mobali ekolaki makasi; kasi tango ekomaki lisusu na nguya makasi, liseke na yango ya monene ebukanaki. Maseke minei ya minene ebotaki na esika ya liseke wana moko mpe etalaki na bangambo minei ya likolo.
And the he-goat grew exceedingly great: and when he was strong, his great horn was broken; and four other [horns] rose up in its place toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Bongo, wuta na moko kati na maseke nyonso minei, liseke moko ya moke ebimaki. Ekolaki makasi, mpe nguya na yango ekomaki na ngambo ya sude, ya este mpe na ngambo ya Mokili oyo eleki kitoko.
And out of one of them came forth one strong horn, and it grew very great toward the south, and toward the host:
10 Ekolaki lisusu kino na mampinga ya likolo, ebwakaki na mabele ndambo ya mampinga yango mpe ndambo ya minzoto, mpe enyataki yango.
and it magnified itself to the host of heaven; and there fell to the earth [some] of the host of heaven and of the stars, and they trampled on them.
11 Emitombolaki kino kotia tembe na Mokonzi ya mampinga, elongolaki mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo na losambo mpe ebebisaki Esika na Ye ya bule elongo na miboko na yango.
And [this shall be] until the chief captain shall have delivered the captivity: and by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed, and he prospered; and the holy place shall be made desolate.
12 Likolo ya botomboki ya bato liboso ya Nzambe, mampinga ya likolo ekomaki na se ya bokonzi ya liseke elongo na mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo. Liseke yango ezalaki kolonga na makambo nyonso oyo ezalaki kosala mpe ebwakaki solo na mabele.
And a sin-offering was given for the sacrifice, and righteousness was cast down to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Nayokaki mosantu moko koloba, mpe mosantu mosusu kotuna ye: — Makambo oyo etalisami na emoniseli ekosala mikolo boni? Mbeka ya mokolo na mokolo ekopesama lisusu te mikolo boni? Botomboki oyo ememaka pasi ekosala mikolo boni? Mikolo boni Esika ya bule mpe mampinga ekotiama na se ya matambe?
And I heard one saint speaking, and a saint said to a certain one speaking, How long shall the vision continue, [even] the removal of the sacrifice, and the bringing in of the sin of desolation; and [how long] shall the sanctuary and host be trampled?
14 Alobaki na ngai: — Ekosalema bapokwa nkoto moko na nkama moko na tuku mitano mpe batongo nkoto moko na nkama moko na tuku mitano; sima na yango nde Esika ya bule ekobulisama lisusu mpo na losambo.
And he said to him, Evening and morning [there shall be] two thousand and four hundred days; and [then] the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
15 Wana ngai, Daniele, nazalaki komona emoniseli yango na makanisi mpe koluka kososola yango, namonaki lokola moto moko atelemi liboso na ngai.
And it came to pass, as I, [even] I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought to understand it, that, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 Nayokaki mongongo moko lokola ya moto wuta na kati-kati ya moluka Ulayi; ezalaki kobelela: — Gabrieli, limbolela moto oyo emoniseli.
And I heard the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ubal; and he called, and said, Gabriel, cause that man to understand the vision.
17 Lokola azalaki kopusana pene ya esika oyo nazalaki, nakomaki na somo mpe nakweyaki elongi kino na mabele. Alobaki na ngai: — Mwana na moto, sosola malamu ete emoniseli oyo etali makambo ya suka ya tango.
And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he came, I was struck with awe, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man: for yet the vision is for an appointed time.
18 Wana azalaki koloba na ngai, nakomaki na pongi moko ya makasi, mpe nakweyaki elongi kino na mabele; kasi asimbaki ngai mpe atelemisaki ngai, kaka na esika oyo nazalaki.
And while he spoke with me, I fell upon my face to the earth: and he touched me, and set me on my feet.
19 Bongo, alobaki na ngai: — Nakoyebisa yo makambo oyo ekosalema na sima na tango ya kanda ya Nzambe, pamba te emoniseli oyo etali tango oyo ekatama mpo na mikolo ya suka.
And he said, Behold, I make you know the things that shall come to pass at the end of the wrath: for the vision [is] yet for an appointed time.
20 Maseke mibale ya meme ya mobali oyo omonaki ezali kolakisa bakonzi ya Medi mpe ya Persi.
The ram which you saw that had the horns is the king of the Medes and Persians.
21 Ntaba mobali ya bapwale ebele ezali mokonzi ya Grese, mpe liseke monene oyo ezali na kati-kati ya miso na yango ezali mokonzi ya liboso.
The he-goat is the King of the Greeks: and the great horn which was between his eyes, he is the first king.
22 Tango liseke yango ebukanaki, maseke minei ebimaki na esika na yango: ezali kolakisa ete babokonzi minei ekobima wuta na ekolo oyo, kasi nguya na yango ekokokana te.
And [as for] the one that was broken, in whose place there stood up four horns, four kings shall arise out of his nation, but not in their [own] strength.
23 Na suka ya bokonzi na yango, tango batomboki bakokolisa mabe na bango kino na suka, mokonzi moko ya motema makasi mpe ya mayele mabe akobima;
And at the latter time of their kingdom, when their sins are coming to the full, there shall arise a king bold in countenance, and understanding riddles.
24 akokoma makasi koleka, kasi na nguya na ye moko te. Akobebisa mokili na ndenge ya kokamwa mpe akolonga na makambo nyonso oyo akosala; akoboma bato ya makasi mpe basantu.
And his power [shall be] great, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and prosper, and practise, and shall destroy mighty men, and the holy people.
25 Na mayele mabe na ye, akolonga kokosa bato ebele mpe akokoma na motema ya lofundu; akoboma bato ebele oyo bazalaki na bango na kimia mpe akotelemela Mokambi ya bakambi, kasi akobebisama na nguya ya moto te.
And the yoke of his chain shall prosper: [there is] craft in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by craft shall destroy many, and he shall stand up for the destruction of many, and shall crush them as eggs in his hand.
26 Emoniseli ya bapokwa mpe ya batongo oyo epesamelaki yo ezali ya solo, kasi bomba yango malamu, pamba te etali makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo ekoya.
And the vision of the evening and morning that was mentioned is true: and do you seal the vision; for [it is] for many days.
27 Ngai, Daniele, nalembaki penza nzoto mpe nabelaki mikolo ebele. Sima na yango, natelemaki mpe nazongelaki kolandela misala ya mokonzi. Emoniseli oyo nazwaki ekamwisaki ngai mpe nazalaki kososola yango te.
And I Daniel fell asleep, and was sick: then I arose, and did the king's business; and I wondered at the vision, and there was none that understood [it].
