< Daniel 8 >

1 In the thirde yeere of the reigne of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared vnto mee, euen vnto me Daniel, after that which appeared vnto mee at the first.
Mu mwaka ogwokusatu mu mirembe gya Kabaka Berusazza, nze Danyeri ne nfuna okwolesebwa oluvannyuma olwa kuli okwasooka.
2 And I saw in a vision, and when I sawe it, I was in the palace of Shushan, which is in the prouince of Elam, and in a vision me thought I was by the riuer of Vlai.
Mu kwolesebwa okwo ne ndaba nga ndi mu kibuga ekikulu Susani mu ssaza Eramu, nga ndi ku mabbali g’omugga Ulaayi.
3 Then I looked vp and sawe, and beholde, there stoode before the riuer a ramme, which had two hornes: and these two hornes were hie: but one was hier then another, and the hyest came vp last.
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.
4 I sawe the ramme pusshing against ye West, and against the North, and against the South: so that no beastes might stande before him, nor could deliuer out of his hand, but he did what he listed, and became great.
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.
5 And as I considered, beholde, a goate came from the West ouer the whole earth, and touched not the grounde: and this goate had an horne that appeared betweene his eyes.
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.
6 And he came vnto the ramme that had the two hornes, whome I had seene standing by the riuer, and ranne vnto him in his fierce rage.
N’erumba n’obusungu bungi endiga ennume eyalina amayembe abiri, gye nalaba ng’eyimiridde ku mabbali g’omugga.
7 And I saw him come vnto the ramme, and being moued against him, he smote the ramme, and brake his two hornes: and there was no power in the ramme to stand against him, but he cast him downe to the grounde, and stamped vpon him, and there was none that coulde deliuer the ramme out of his power.
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.
8 Therefore the goate waxed exceeding great, and when he was at the strongest, his great horne was broken: and for it came vp foure that appeared toward the foure windes of ye heauen.
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.
9 And out of one of them came foorth a litle horne, which waxed very great toward the South, and toward the East, and towarde the pleasant land.
Mu ago ne muva ejjembe eddala ettono, ne likula mu maanyi mangi okwolekera obukiikaddyo, n’ebuvanjuba n’eri ensi ey’ekitalo ennungi.
10 Yea, it grewe vp vnto the hoste of heauen, and it cast downe some of the hoste, and of the starres to the ground, and trode vpon them,
Ne likula ne lituuka eri eggye ery’omu ggulu, ne lisuula abamu ku b’eggye n’emmunyeenye ezimu wansi ku nsi, ne libirinnyirira.
11 And extolled himselfe against the prince of the hoste from whome the dayly sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his Sanctuarie was cast downe.
Ne lyegulumiza okwenkanankana omukulu w’eggye, ne limuggyako ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’ekifo eky’awatukuvu ne lyonoonawo.
12 And a time shall be giuen him ouer the dayly sacrifice for the iniquitie: and it shall cast downe the trueth to the ground, and thus shall it doe, and prosper.
Olw’obujeemu eggye awamu n’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekya buli lunaku ne biriweebwa. Amazima ne gasuulibwa wansi, ne buli kye lyakolanga ne kiba kya mukisa.
13 Then I heard one of the Saints speaking, and one of the Saints spake vnto a certaine one, saying, Howe long shall endure the vision of the dayly sacrifice, and the iniquitie of the desolation to treade both the Sanctuarie and the armie vnder foote?
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?”
14 And he answered me, Vnto the euening and the morning, two thousand and three hundreth: then shall the Sanctuarie be clensed.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Okutuusa ng’ennaku enkumi bbiri mu bisatu ziyiseewo.”
15 Nowe when I Daniel had seene the vision, and sought for the meaning, beholde, there stoode before me like the similitude of a man.
Awo nze Danyeri bwe namala okufuna okwolesebwa okwo nga nkyagezaako okutegeera amakulu gaakwo, laba ne wayimirira mu maaso gange ekifaananyi ng’eky’omusajja.
16 And I heard a mans voyce betweene the bankes of Vlai, which called, and sayde, Gabriel, make this man to vnderstand the vision.
Ne mpulira eddoboozi ly’omusajja emitala w’omugga Ulaayi, eryakoowoola, ne lyogera nti, “Gabulyeri, tegeeza omusajja oyo amakulu g’okwolesebwa okwo.”
17 So he came where I stood: and when hee came, I was afraide, and fell vpon my face: but he sayd vnto me, Vnderstand, O sonne of man: for in the last time shalbe the vision.
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.”
18 Nowe as he was speaking vnto me, I being a sleepe fell on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me vp in my place.
Awo bwe yali akyayogera nange, ne nkwatibwa otulo otungi ennyo, ng’amaaso gange nga ngavuunise ku ttaka, ye n’ankwatako n’angolokosa.
19 And he sayde, Beholde, I will shewe thee what shalbe in the last wrath: for in the end of the time appointed it shall come.
N’ayogera nti, “Laba, ndikumanyisa ebiribaawo mu biro eby’enkomerero eby’okubonaabona, kubanga okwolesebwa kwogera ku kiseera ekyalondebwa eky’enkomerero.
20 The ramme which thou sawest hauing two hornes, are the Kings of the Medes and Persians.
Endiga ennume gye walaba ey’amayembe abiri, be bakabaka ab’Obumeedi, n’Obuperusi.
21 And the goate is the King of Grecia, and the great horne that is betweene his eyes, is the first King.
N’embuzi ennume endaawo ye kabaka w’e Buyonaani, n’ejjembe eddene eriri mu kyenyi kyayo ye kabaka ow’olubereberye.
22 And that that is broken, and foure stoode vp for it, are foure kingdomes, which shall stand vp of that nation, but not in his strength.
N’amayembe ana agadda mu kifo kyalyo nga limenyese, bwe bwakabaka obuna obuliva mu ggwanga lye, naye tebuliba na buyinza bwe bumu ng’obubwe.
23 And in the end of their kingdome, when the rebellious shalbe consumed, a King of fierce countenance, and vnderstanding darke sentences, shall stand vp.
“Mu biro eby’enkomerero eby’okufuga kwabwe, abajeemu nga batandise okusobya ennyo, kabaka omuzira ate omukambwe, ng’alina obukoddyo bungi alivaayo.
24 And his power shalbe mightie, but not in his strength: and hee shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mightie, and the holy people.
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.
25 And through his policie also, hee shall cause craft to prosper in his hand, and he shall extoll himselfe in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: hee shall also stande vp against the prince of princes, but he shalbe broken downe without hand.
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.
26 And the vision of the euening and the morning, which is declared, is true: therefore seale thou vp the vision, for it shall be after many dayes.
“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.”
27 And I Daniel was striken and sicke certaine dayes: but when I rose vp, I did the Kings busines, and I was astonished at the vision, but none vnderstood it.
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.
