< Danyeri 7 >

1 Mu mwaka ogw’olubereberye ogw’obufuzi bwa Berusazza kabaka w’e Babulooni, Danyeri n’aloota era n’ayolesebwa ng’agalamidde ku kitanda kye. N’awandiika byonna bye yaloota.
In year one of Belshazzar [the] king of Babylon Daniel a dream he saw and [the] visions of head his on bed his then dream the he wrote [the] head of matters he said.
2 Danyeri n’ayogera nti, “Mu kwolesebwa kwange ekiro, nalaba empewo ez’omu ggulu nnya nga zisiikuula ennyanja ennene,
[was] replying Daniel and [was] saying seeing I was in vision my with night the and lo! [the] four [the] winds of heavens the [were] stirring up sea the great.
3 n’ensolo enkambwe nnya ez’ebika eby’enjawulo ne ziva mu nnyanja.
And four beasts great [were] coming up from sea the [they were] different this [one] from this [one].
4 “Eyasooka yali mpologoma ng’erina ebiwaawaatiro eby’empungu. Awo bwe nnali nga nkyagitunuulira, ebiwaawaatiro byayo ne bigikuunyuukako, n’esitulibwa, n’eyimirira ku magulu abiri ng’omuntu, n’eweebwa omutima ogw’omuntu.
First the [was] like a lion and wings of an eagle [were] to it seeing I was until that they were plucked off wings its and it was lifted away from earth the and on two feet like a human it was made to stand and a heart of a human it was given to it.
5 “Ate ne ndaba ensolo enkambwe eyookubiri, eyali ng’eddubu. N’esitulibwa ku luuyi olumu era yalina embiriizi ssatu mu kamwa kaayo, n’eragirwa nti, ‘Situka olye ennyama nnyingi.’
And lo! a beast another a second [was] like a bear and to a side one it was raised and three ribs [were] in mouth its between (tooth its *Q(K)*) and as follows [they were] saying to it arise devour! flesh much.
6 “Oluvannyuma ne ndaba ensolo enkambwe endala eyali ng’engo, ng’erina ebiwaawaatiro bina eby’ennyonyi, ng’erina n’emitwe ena, n’eweebwa n’obuyinza okufuga.
After this seeing I was and lo! another like a leopard and to it wings four of a bird [were] on (back its *Q(K)*) and four heads [were] to beast the and dominion it was given to it.
7 “N’oluvannyuma mu kwolesebwa kwange ekiro, ne ndaba ensolo enkambwe eyokuna, nga ya ntiisa, nga ya buyinza era nga ya maanyi mangi nnyo. Yalina amannyo amanene ag’ekyuma, n’erya n’ebetenta, n’erinnyirira ebyasigalawo. Yali yanjawulo ku nsolo enkambwe endala, ng’erina n’amayembe kkumi.
After this seeing I was in [the] visions of night the and lo! a beast (fourth *Q(k)*) [was] fearful and terrible and strong exceedingly and teeth of iron [were] to it great [it was] devouring and [it was] shattering and rest the (with foot its *Q(K)*) [it was] trampling and it [was] different from all beasts the which [was] before it and horns ten [were] to it.
8 “Awo bwe nnali nga nkyalowooza ku mayembe, ne walabika mu maaso gange ejjembe eddala, ettono, eryava mu ago; n’amayembe asatu ku ago ag’olubereberye ne gasimbulirwa ddala. Ejjembe eryo lyalina amaaso ng’ag’omuntu, n’akamwa akaayogeranga eby’okwegulumiza.
Considering I was horns the and lo! a horn another small it came up (between them *Q(K)*) and three of horns the former (they were uprooted *Q(K)*) from (before it *Q(k)*) and lo! eyes like [the] eyes of humankind [were] on horn the this and a mouth [was] speaking great [things].
9 “Era nga nkyali awo ne ndaba, “entebe ez’obwakabaka nga ziteekeddwawo, n’Owedda n’Edda n’atuula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka. Ebyambalo bye byali byeru ng’omuzira, n’enviiri ez’oku mutwe gwe nga njeru ng’ebyoya by’endiga. Entebe ye ey’obwakabaka yali eyakaayakana ng’ennimi z’omuliro, ne namuziga zaayo nga zaaka omuliro.
Seeing I was until that thrones they were placed and [one] ancient of days he sat clothing his - like snow [was] white and [the] hair of head his like wool [was] pure throne his [was] flames of fire wheels its [were] fire burning.
10 Omugga gw’omuliro nga gukulukuta, nga gukulukutira awo mu maaso ge. Abantu nkumi na nkumi baamuweerezanga, n’emitwalo n’emitwalo baayimiriranga mu maaso ge. Okuwozesa emisango ne kutandika, ebitabo ne bibikkulwa.
A river of fire [was] flowing and [was] coming out from before him a thousand of (thousands *Q(k)*) they were ministering to him and a myriad of (myriads *Q(k)*) before him they were standing court the it sat and books they were opened.
11 “Awo ne neyongera okwetegereza ebigambo eby’okwegulumiza, ejjembe lye byayogeranga. Ne ntunula okutuusa ensolo enkambwe bwe yafumitibwa n’ettibwa, n’esuulibwa mu muliro, n’ezikirizibwa.
Seeing I was then from [the] sound of words the great which horn the [was] speaking seeing I was until that it was killed beast the and it was destroyed body its and it was given to [the] burning of fire.
12 Ensolo enkambwe endala zo zaggibwako obuyinza bwazo, kyokka ennaku zaazo ne zongerwako.
And [the] rest of beasts the they removed dominion their and a prolonging in life it was given to them until a time and a time.
13 “Mu kwolesebwa okwo ekiro ne ndaba, laba, omuntu eyafaanana ng’omwana w’omuntu, ng’ajja n’ebire eby’omu ggulu. N’ajja okumpi n’Owedda n’Edda, n’asembezebwa mu maaso ge.
Seeing I was in [the] visions of night the and lo! with [the] clouds of heavens the like a son of man coming he was and to [the] [one] ancient of days he reached and before him they brought near him.
14 N’aweebwa obuyinza, n’ekitiibwa, n’obwakabaka n’amaanyi agava waggulu; abantu bonna, n’amawanga gonna, n’abantu ab’ennimi zonna ne bamusinzanga. Okufuga kwe kwa mirembe na mirembe, tekuliggwaawo, n’obwakabaka bwe tebulizikirizibwa.
And to him it was given dominion and honor and a kingdom and all peoples the nations the and languages the to him they will pay reverence dominion his [was] a dominion of perpetuity which not it will pass away and kingdom his which not it will be destroyed.
15 “Nze Danyeri ne ntawaanyizibwa mu mutima, n’okwolesebwa kwe nafuna ne kunneeraliikiriza.
It was distressed spirit my I Daniel in [the] midst of [the] sheath and [the] visions of head my they alarmed me.
16 Ne nsemberera omu ku baali bayimiridde awo ne mubuuza amakulu g’ebyo byonna. “N’antegeeza amakulu g’ebintu ebyo, n’aŋŋamba nti,
I approached to one of [ones] standing the and truth the I was asking from him concerning all this and he said to me and [the] interpretation of matters the he made known to me.
17 ‘Ensolo enkambwe ezo ennya, be bakabaka abana abalisibuka mu nsi.
These beasts the great which they [are] four four kings they will arise from earth the.
18 Naye abatukuvu ab’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo baliweebwa obwakabaka, era buliba bwabwe emirembe n’emirembe, weewaawo okutuusa emirembe gyonna.’
So they may receive kingdom the [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High so they may take possession of kingdom the until perpetuity and until perpetuity of perpetuities.
19 “Awo ne njagala okumanya ensolo enkambwe eyokuna ky’etegeeza, etaafaanana ng’endala zonna, eyali ey’entiisa ennyo, amannyo gaayo nga ga kyuma, n’enjala zaayo nga za kikomo, eyabetenta, n’emenyaamenya era n’erinnyirira ezaasigalawo.
Then I desired to make certain concerning beast the fourth which it was different from (all of them *Q(K)*) [it was] terrible exceedingly (tooth its *Q(K)*) of iron and claws its of bronze [it was] devouring [it was] shattering and rest the with feet its [it was] trampling.
20 Ate ne njagala n’okumanya ku by’amayembe ekkumi agaali ku mutwe gwayo, ne ku by’ejjembe liri eddala eryasibuka wakati mu go, asatu ne galivuunamira, ejjembe eryo lye lyalina amaaso n’akamwa akayogeranga eby’okwegulumiza, era mu buyinza nga lirabika okusinga ganne gaalyo.
And concerning horns the ten which [were] on head its and another [horn] which it came up (and they fell *Q(K)*) from (before it *Q(k)*) three [horns] and horn the this and eyes [were] to it and a mouth [was] speaking great [things] and appearance its [was] great more than companion its.
21 Awo bwe nnali nkyatunula, ejjembe eryo ne lirwana n’abatukuvu ne lyagala okubawangula,
Seeing I was and horn the this [was] making war with [the] holy [ones] and [it was] prevailing to them.
22 okutuusa ow’Edda n’Edda bwe yajja n’asala omusango, abatukuvu b’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo ne bagusinga, era n’ekiseera ne kituuka ne baweebwa obwakabaka.
Until that he came [the] [one] ancient of days and judgment it was given for [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High and appointed time the it arrived and kingdom the they took possession of [the] holy [ones].
23 “N’annyinnyonnyola nti, ‘Ensolo enkambwe eyokuna bwe bwakabaka obwokuna obulirabika ku nsi, era tebulifaanana ng’obwakabaka obulala; era bulirya ensi yonna, ne bugirinnyirira ne bugibetentabetenta.
As follows he said beast the fourth a kingdom (fourth the *Q(k)*) it will be on earth the which it will be different from all kingdoms the so it may devour all earth the and it will tread down it and it will shatter it.
24 Amayembe ekkumi, be bakabaka ekkumi abaliva mu bwakabaka obwo, era walirabikawo n’omulala oluvannyuma lw’abo, atalifaanana ng’aboolubereberye. Aliwangula bakabaka basatu.
And horns the ten from it kingdom the ten kings they will arise and another he will arise after them and he he will be different from former [kings] the and three kings he will bring low.
25 Alyogera ebigambo ebibi ku Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo, era aligezaako okukyusakyusa ebiseera ebyateekebwawo n’amateeka agassibwawo. Era abatukuvu baliweebwayo mu mukono gwe okufugibwa okumala emyaka esatu n’ekitundu.
And words to [the] side of (Most High the *Q(k)*) he will speak and [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High he will wear out so he may think to change appointed times and law so they may be given in hand his until a time and times and half of a time.
26 “‘Kyokka oluvannyuma omusango gulisalibwa, n’obuyinza bwe ne bumuggyibwako, ne buzikiririzibwa ddala.
And court the it will sit and dominion his they will remove to annihilate and to destroy until end the.
27 N’oluvannyuma ekitiibwa, n’obuyinza n’obukulu obw’obwakabaka obuli wansi w’eggulu, buliweebwa abatukuvu b’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo. Obwakabaka bwe bulibeerawo emirembe gyonna, n’amatwale amalala gonna galimugondera ne gamuweereza.’
And kingdom the and dominion the and greatness the of kingdoms under all heavens the it was given to a people [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High kingdom his [will be] a kingdom of perpetuity and all empires the to him they will pay reverence so they may obey.
28 “Ebigambo ebyo wano we bikoma. Naye nze Danyeri natawaanyizibwa nnyo mu mutima, n’amaaso gange ne gammyuka, naye ensonga ezo ne nzeekuuma.”
To here end the of matter the I Daniel exceedingly - thoughts my they alarmed me and brightness my they were changed on me and matter the in heart my I have kept.
