Daniele 2
1 Na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi na ye, Nabukodonozori alotaki ndoto. Molimo na ye etungisamaki makasi mpe pongi ekimaki ye.
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
2 Mokonzi abengisaki bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya, banganga-kisi, bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto mpe bato ya mayele ya mabe mpo ete bayebisa ye ndoto oyo alotaki. Tango bayaki, batelemaki liboso ya mokonzi;
Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
3 mpe mokonzi ayebisaki bango: — Nalotaki ndoto moko oyo ezali kotungisa molimo na ngai makasi; nazali na posa ya koyeba ndimbola na yango.
And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
4 Bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto balobaki na lokota ya bato ya Arami: — Tika ete mokonzi awumela na bomoi seko na seko! Yebisa ndoto na yo epai ya basali na yo, mpe tokolimbola yango.
Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
5 Mokonzi alobaki na bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto: — Tala mokano oyo nasili kozwa: « Soki boyebisi ngai te ndoto oyo nalotaki mpe ndimbola na yango, nakokata bino biteni-biteni mpe nakobuka-buka bandako na bino.
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
6 Kasi soki boyebisi mpe bopesi ngai ndimbola na yango, nakopesa bino bakado, lifuti mpe lokumu mingi. Yango wana, boyebisa ngai ndoto yango mpe bopesa ngai ndimbola na yango. »
But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
7 Bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto balobaki lisusu epai ya mokonzi: — Tika ete mokonzi ayebisa ndoto na ye, mpe biso, tokolimbolela ye yango!
They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.
8 Mokonzi azongisaki: — Nandimi solo ete bozali kolekisa tango, pamba te boyebi malamu ete nakobongola mokano na ngai te.
The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
9 Soki boyebisi ngai ndoto yango te, boyeba malamu ete etumbu moko kaka mpe ya ndenge moko ezali kozela bino! Ah, boyokani koyebisa ngai makambo ya lokuta mpe ya mabe mpo bokanisi ete makambo ekobongwana! Mpo na yango, boyebisa ngai ndoto yango, mpe nakondima ete bozali na makoki ya kolimbola yango.
But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, [there is but] one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.
10 Bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto balobaki na mokonzi: — Moto moko te kati na mokili akokoka kosala makambo oyo mokonzi azali kosenga. Mpe mokonzi moko te, ezala azalaki moto monene to moto na nguya, asila kosenga likambo ya boye epai ya banganga-kisi, epai ya bato ya mayele ya mabe mpe epai ya bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto.
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king’s matter: therefore [there is] no king, lord, nor ruler, [that] asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
11 Makambo oyo mokonzi azali kosenga ezali pasi makasi, moto moko te akoki koyebisa mokonzi ndoto na ye; ezali kaka banzambe nde bakoki kosala yango mpo ete bavandaka kati na bato te.
And [it is] a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
12 Mbala moko, mokonzi asilikaki mpe atombokaki makasi; apesaki mitindo ete baboma bato nyonso ya bwanya ya Babiloni.
For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise [men] of Babylon.
13 Boye, sango ya mokano ya koboma bato nyonso ya bwanya epanzanaki, mpe batindaki bato koluka Daniele elongo na baninga na ye mpo ete baboma bango.
And the decree went forth that the wise [men] should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
14 Tango Arioki, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, abimaki mpo na kokende koboma bato ya bwanya ya Babiloni, Daniele asololaki na ye na bwanya mpe na mayele.
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise [men] of Babylon:
15 Daniele atunaki Arioki: « Mpo na nini mokonzi azwi mokano ya makasi boye? » Bongo Arioki atalisaki Daniele makambo yango.
He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why [is] the decree [so] hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16 Tango Daniele ayokaki bongo, akotaki epai ya mokonzi mpe asengaki ye tango mpo ete akoka kopesa ye ndimbola ya ndoto yango;
Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
17 bongo Daniele azongaki na ndako na ye mpe ayebisaki makambo yango epai ya Anania, Mikaeli mpe Azaria, baninga na ye.
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
18 Alobaki na bango ete basenga ngolu mpe mawa ya Nzambe ya Lola na tina na mabombami oyo, mpo ete baboma te ye Daniele, baninga na ye mpe bato mosusu ya bwanya ya Babiloni.
That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise [men] of Babylon.
19 Bongo na butu, Daniele azwaki emoniseli oyo elakisaki ye mabombami yango; boye, akumisaki Nzambe ya Lola.
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 Daniele alobaki: Tika ete Kombo ya Nzambe ekumisama libela na libela! Bwanya mpe nguya ezali ya Ye.
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 Ezali Ye nde abongolaka tango mpe makambo, alongolaka bakonzi mpe atombolaka bakonzi, apesaka bwanya epai ya bato ya bwanya mpe boyebi epai ya bato ya mayele.
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22 Alakisaka makambo ya bozindo mpe ebombama, ayebaka makambo oyo esalemaka na molili, mpe pole ezali kati na Ye.
He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what [is] in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
23 Oh Nzambe ya batata na ngai, nazali kosanzola mpe kokumisa Yo mpo na bwanya mpe nguya oyo opesi ngai, pamba te oyebisi ngai makambo oyo tosengaki Yo mpe otalisi biso ndoto ya mokonzi.
I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast [now] made known unto us the king’s matter.
24 Sima na yango, Daniele akendeki epai ya Arioki oyo mokonzi apesaki mokumba ya koboma bato ya bwanya ya Babiloni; alobaki na ye: — Koboma bato ya bwanya ya Babiloni te! Mema ngai epai ya mokonzi, mpe nakopesa ye ndimbola ya ndoto na ye.
Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise [men] of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise [men] of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
25 Arioki amemaki Daniele na lombangu liboso ya mokonzi mpe alobaki na ye: — Mokonzi, namoni moto moko kati na bawumbu oyo bawutaki na Yuda, oyo akoki koyebisa mokonzi ndoto na ye mpe kolimbola yango.
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
26 Mokonzi atunaki Daniele oyo bazalaki lisusu kobenga Belitsatsari: — Ozali na makoki ya koyebisa ngai makambo oyo namonaki na ndoto mpe kolimbola yango?
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
27 Daniele azongisaki liboso ya mokonzi: — Bato ya bwanya, bato ya mayele ya mabe, banganga-kisi mpe bato oyo bayebaka makambo oyo ekoya bazali na makoki te ya koyebisa mokonzi mabombami oyo azali kotuna;
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise [men], the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
28 kasi kati na Lola, ezali na Nzambe moko oyo alakisaka mabombami; mpe alakisi mokonzi Nabukodonozori makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo oyo ekoya. Tala ndoto oyo olotaki mpe bimoniseli oyo ozwaki tango ozalaki ya kolala na mbeto na yo:
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
29 « Oh mokonzi, wana ozalaki ya kolala na mbeto na yo, okomaki kokanisa makambo oyo ekoya na sima ya tango; bongo, Ye oyo alakisaka mabombami alakisaki yo makambo oyo ekoya.
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind] upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
30 Bongo soki alakisi mabombami yango epai na ngai, ezali te mpo ete naleki bato nyonso na bwanya, kasi ezali mpo ete mokonzi ayeba ndimbola ya ndoto na ye mpe makambo oyo ezali kotungisa motema na ye.
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for [any] wisdom that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
31 Oh mokonzi, tala emoniseli oyo ozwaki: ‹ Ekeko moko ya monene ezalaki liboso na yo: ezalaki monene penza, ezalaki kongenga makasi mpe ezalaki somo mpo na kotala;
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof [was] terrible.
32 moto na yango ezalaki ya wolo ya peto, tolo mpe maboko na yango ezalaki ya palata, libumu mpe loketo na yango ezalaki ya bronze,
This image’s head [was] of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33 makolo na yango ezalaki ya ebende, matambe na yango ezalaki, ndambo moko ya ebende, mpe ndambo mosusu, ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko.
His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Wana ozalaki kotala ekeko yango, libanga moko ekweyaki yango moko (moto moko te abwakaki yango), ekweyelaki ekeko yango na matambe na yango ya ebende mpe ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, enikaki matambe yango mpe ekomaki putulu.
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 Mbala moko, ezala ebende to mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko to bronze to palata to mpe wolo, nyonso epanzanaki, ekomaki mike-mike mpe ekomaki kopumbwa ndenge matiti ya ble epumbwaka tango bapupolaka yango; mopepe ememaki yango mpe elimwisaki yango. Kasi libanga oyo ekweyelaki ekeko yango ekomaki ngomba moko ya monene oyo etondisaki mokili mobimba. › »
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
36 Wana nde ezalaki ndoto; mpe sik’oyo, tokopesa ndimbola na yango liboso ya mokonzi!
This [is] the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
37 Oh mokonzi, ozali mokonzi ya bakonzi! Nzambe ya Lola apesaki yo makasi mpe nguya, bokonzi mpe nkembo;
Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 atiaki na se ya bokonzi na yo bato nyonso ya mokili, banyama ya zamba mpe bandeke ya likolo; atiaki yo mokonzi na bango nyonso, na bisika nyonso oyo bavandaka! Ezali yo nde ozali moto wana ya wolo.
And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou [art] this head of gold.
39 Sima na yo, bokonzi mosusu ekobima, kasi ekoleka bokonzi na yo te na nguya; bongo na sima, bokonzi ya misato ekobima mpe ekokonza na mabele mobimba: yango nde ezali kolakisa bronze.
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
40 Mpe na suka, bokonzi ya minei ekobima, ekozala makasi lokola ebende; ndenge ebende ebukaka, enikaka mpe epanzaka nyonso, ndenge wana mpe ekobuka mpe ekopanza babokonzi mosusu ya liboso.
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all [things: ] and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 Mpe ndenge kaka omonaki ete matambe mpe misapi ya makolo na yango ezali ndambo moko, ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, mpe ndambo mosusu, ya ebende, elingi koloba ete bokonzi yango ekokabwana; kasi kati na yango, ekozala na eloko moko ya makasi lokola ebende, ndenge kaka omonaki ebende basangisa na mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko.
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 Mpe lokola misapi ya makolo ezalaki ndambo, ya ebende, mpe ndambo mosusu, ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, bokonzi yango ekozala, ngambo moko, makasi, mpe ngambo mosusu, ezanga makasi.
And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and part of clay, [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 Mpe ndenge kaka omonaki ebende basangisa na mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, elakisi ete bato bakoluka kosangana na nzela ya boyokani, kasi bakotikala kosangana te, ndenge kaka ebende esanganaka te na mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko.
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 Na tango ya bakonzi wana, Nzambe ya Lola akobimisa bokonzi moko oyo ekotikala kobebisama te mpe ekotikala kozala te na se ya bokonzi ya ekolo mosusu; ekopanza mpe ekosukisa babokonzi wana nyonso, kasi yango moko ekowumela seko na seko.
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Yango nde ndimbola ya emoniseli ya libanga oyo omonaki kokweya yango moko wuta na ngomba, oyo loboko ya moto moko te ebwakaki, mpo na koya kopanza ebende, bronze, mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, palata mpe wolo. Nzambe Monene alakisi mokonzi makambo oyo ekosalema na mikolo ekoya. Ndoto oyo ezali penza kolakisa makambo ya solo, mpe ndimbola na yango ezali ebongi na kondima.
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
46 Boye, mokonzi Nabukodonozori agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele, liboso ya Daniele, mpe apesaki ye lokumu; apesaki mitindo ete bapesa ye makabo mpe babonzela ye malasi ya ansa.
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
47 Mokonzi alobaki na Daniele: « Solo, Nzambe na bino azali Nzambe ya banzambe, Nkolo ya bakonzi mpe Molakisi mabombami, mpo ete okoki kolakisa mabombami oyo! »
The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth [it is], that your God [is] a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
48 Sima, mokonzi atombolaki Daniele na lokumu oyo eleki likolo mpe apesaki ye bakado mpe bozwi ebele; akomisaki ye moyangeli ya etuka mobimba ya Babiloni mpe mokambi ya bato na yango nyonso ya bwanya.
Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise [men] of Babylon.
49 Daniele asengaki na mokonzi Nabukodonozori ete atia Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego lokola bayangeli ya etuka mobimba ya Babiloni wana ye moko Daniele atikalaki kosala pembeni ya mokonzi.
Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel [sat] in the gate of the king.
