Danyeri 8
1 Mu mwaka ogwokusatu mu mirembe gya Kabaka Berusazza, nze Danyeri ne nfuna okwolesebwa oluvannyuma olwa kuli okwasooka.
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 Mu kwolesebwa okwo ne ndaba nga ndi mu kibuga ekikulu Susani mu ssaza Eramu, nga ndi ku mabbali g’omugga Ulaayi.
And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Aelam, and I was on the [bank of] Ubal.
3 Ne nnyimusa amaaso gange ne ndaba, laba, endiga ennume eyalina amayembe abiri, n’amayembe ago gombi nga mawanvu naye erimu nga lisinga linnaalyo obuwanvu, ate nga lyo lyakula luvannyuma.
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 Ne ndaba endiga ennume ng’etomera edda ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba n’eri obukiikakkono, ne ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo. Ne wataba nsolo nkambwe n’emu egisinza amaanyi, ate nga mpaawo ayinza kuwona maanyi gaayo. N’ekola nga bwe yayagala era ne yeefuula ya kitalo.
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 Awo bwe nnali nkyalowooza ku ebyo, amangwago ne walabika embuzi ennume eyalina ejjembe eddene mu kyenyi ng’eva ebugwanjuba, n’esala okuva ku luuyi olumu olw’ensi, okulaga ku luuyi olulala nga terinnye ku ttaka.
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 N’erumba n’obusungu bungi endiga ennume eyalina amayembe abiri, gye nalaba ng’eyimiridde ku mabbali g’omugga.
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 Ne ngiraba ng’esemberera endiga eyo ennume, mu busungu obungi n’egitomera era n’emenya amayembe gaayo gombi; endiga ennume n’eggwaamu amaanyi n’eteyinza kwetaasa, embuzi ennume n’egikoona n’egwa wansi n’egirinnyirira, ne wataba n’omu eyayinza okuwonya endiga ennume eyo mu maanyi g’embuzi ennume.
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 Embuzi ennume ne yeegulumiza nnyo, naye mu maanyi gaayo amangi, ejjembe lyayo eddene ne limenyeka, we lyali amayembe ana agalabika obulungi ne gamerawo nga gadda eri embuyaga ennya ez’omu ggulu.
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 Mu ago ne muva ejjembe eddala ettono, ne likula mu maanyi mangi okwolekera obukiikaddyo, n’ebuvanjuba n’eri ensi ey’ekitalo ennungi.
And out of one of them came forth one strong horn, and it grew very great toward the south, and toward the host:
10 Ne likula ne lituuka eri eggye ery’omu ggulu, ne lisuula abamu ku b’eggye n’emmunyeenye ezimu wansi ku nsi, ne libirinnyirira.
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 Ne lyegulumiza okwenkanankana omukulu w’eggye, ne limuggyako ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’ekifo eky’awatukuvu ne lyonoonawo.
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 Olw’obujeemu eggye awamu n’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekya buli lunaku ne biriweebwa. Amazima ne gasuulibwa wansi, ne buli kye lyakolanga ne kiba kya mukisa.
And a sin-offering was given for the sacrifice, and righteousness was cast down to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Ne mpulira omutukuvu ng’ayogera, n’omutukuvu omulala n’agamba oyo eyayogera nti, “Okwolesebwa okwogera ku kiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekya buli lunaku, ne ku bujeemu okuleeta okwonoona okungi, ne ku kuwaayo okwa watukuvu, ne ku batukuvu abalinnyirirwa, kulituukirira ddi era ebyo byonna birikoma ddi?”
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 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Okutuusa ng’ennaku enkumi bbiri mu bisatu ziyiseewo.”
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 Awo nze Danyeri bwe namala okufuna okwolesebwa okwo nga nkyagezaako okutegeera amakulu gaakwo, laba ne wayimirira mu maaso gange ekifaananyi ng’eky’omusajja.
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 Ne mpulira eddoboozi ly’omusajja emitala w’omugga Ulaayi, eryakoowoola, ne lyogera nti, “Gabulyeri, tegeeza omusajja oyo amakulu g’okwolesebwa okwo.”
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 Awo n’asembera okumpi ne we nnali nnyimiridde, ne ntya, ne neeyala wansi. Naye n’aŋŋamba nti, “Tegeera, ggwe omwana w’omuntu, ng’okwolesebwa, kwogera ku biro eby’enkomerero.”
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 Awo bwe yali akyayogera nange, ne nkwatibwa otulo otungi ennyo, ng’amaaso gange nga ngavuunise ku ttaka, ye n’ankwatako n’angolokosa.
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 N’ayogera nti, “Laba, ndikumanyisa ebiribaawo mu biro eby’enkomerero eby’okubonaabona, kubanga okwolesebwa kwogera ku kiseera ekyalondebwa eky’enkomerero.
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 Endiga ennume gye walaba ey’amayembe abiri, be bakabaka ab’Obumeedi, n’Obuperusi.
The ram which you saw that had the horns is the king of the Medes and Persians.
21 N’embuzi ennume endaawo ye kabaka w’e Buyonaani, n’ejjembe eddene eriri mu kyenyi kyayo ye kabaka ow’olubereberye.
The he-goat is the King of the Greeks: and the great horn which was between his eyes, he is the first king.
22 N’amayembe ana agadda mu kifo kyalyo nga limenyese, bwe bwakabaka obuna obuliva mu ggwanga lye, naye tebuliba na buyinza bwe bumu ng’obubwe.
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 “Mu biro eby’enkomerero eby’okufuga kwabwe, abajeemu nga batandise okusobya ennyo, kabaka omuzira ate omukambwe, ng’alina obukoddyo bungi alivaayo.
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 Aliba n’amaanyi mangi, naye si lwa buyinza bwe ye, era alireeta entiisa nnene, era aliba wa mukisa mu buli ky’akola. Alizikiriza abantu ab’amaanyi n’abantu abatukuvu.
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 Aliba mulimba nnyo, n’aleetera obulimba okweyongera, era alyegulumiza nnyo. Aligwikiriza abantu bangi n’abazikiriza, era n’alumba n’Omukulu w’abalangira. Wabula naye alizikirizibwa so si n’amaanyi ag’obuntu.
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 “Okwolesebwa okukwata ku biro eby’oku makya ne ku by’akawungeezi, kwe wafuna kwa mazima, naye sirikira okwolesebwa okwo, kubanga kwogera ku biro ebigenda okujja.”
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 Nze Danyeri ne mpulira nga nkooye nnyo era ne ndwala okumala ennaku. N’oluvannyuma nga nzisuuse ne nzira ku mirimu gya kabaka, kyokka okwolesebwa okwo ne kuntawanya nnyo mu mutima, ate nga sitegeera makulu gaakwo.
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].
