Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, [and] told the sum of the matters.
Na mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi ya Balitazari, mokonzi ya Babiloni, Daniele alotaki ndoto moko: bimoniseli eyaki na makanisi na ye tango azalaki ya kolala na mbeto na ye. Bongo, akomaki ndoto yango mpe alobaki mama na likambo na yango.
2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
Daniele alobaki: Na emoniseli oyo nazwaki na butu, namonaki mipepe minei kowuta na likolo mpe eningisaki ebale monene.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Banyama minei ya minene, ekesana yango nyonso, ebimaki wuta na ebale monene.
4 The first [was] like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
Nyama ya liboso ezalaki lokola nkosi mpe ezalaki na mapapu lokola mpongo. Wana nazalaki kotala, balongolaki yango mapapu, batombolaki yango longwa na mabele mpo ete etelema na makolo mibale lokola moto; mpe bapesaki yango motema ya moto.
5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and [it had] three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
Bongo, namonaki nyama ya mibale: ezalaki lokola ngombolo; etelemaki na moko ya mipanzi na yango mpe ezalaki na mikuwa ya mipanzi misato na kati-kati ya minu ya monoko na yango. Balobaki na yango: « Telema, lia mpe otonda misuni! »
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Sima na yango, nakobaki kotala mpe namonaki nyama mosusu: ezalaki lokola nkoyi, mpe mokongo na yango ezalaki na mapapu minei lokola mapapu ya ndeke. Nyama yango ezalaki na mito minei, bongo bapesaki yango bokonzi ya kokamba.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it [was] diverse from all the beasts that [were] before it; and it had ten horns.
Sima na yango, kati na emoniseli na ngai ya butu, namonaki nyama ya minei: ezalaki somo, ezalaki kobangisa mpe ezalaki na nguya makasi penza. Ezalaki na minu minene ya bibende; ezalaki kolia, kopanzapanza mpe konyata misuni oyo ezalaki kotikala; ekesenaki makasi na banyama nyonso ya liboso mpe ezalaki na maseke zomi.
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Wana nazali kotala malamu maseke, namonaki liseke mosusu ya moke kobima kati na maseke wana; bongo maseke misato kati na maseke ya liboso elongwaki liboso ya liseke ya moke oyo ezalaki na miso lokola ya moto mpe monoko oyo ezalaki koloba na lolendo.
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.
Wana nazalaki kotala, namonaki bazali kotanda bakiti ya bokonzi, mpe Mpaka oyo azala liboso ya tango avandaki na moko kati na bakiti yango. Bilamba na Ye ezalaki pembe lokola mvula ya pembe, suki ya moto na Ye ezalaki pembe lokola bapwale ya meme, oyo basukola malamu. Kiti ya Bokonzi na Ye ezalaki lokola moto, mpe bapine na yango ezalaki lokola moto oyo ezali kongala.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Ebale ya moto ezalaki kobima mpe kotambola liboso na Ye. Minkoko ya bato bazalaki kosalela Ye, minkoko ya minkoko ya bato batelemaki liboso na Ye. Basambisi bavandaki, mpe babuku efungwamaki.
11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld [even] till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
Nakobaki kotala mpo na maloba ya lofundu oyo liseke yango ezalaki koloba; mpe wana nazalaki kaka kotala, babomaki nyama yango, nzoto na yango ebebaki mpe babwakaki yango na moto.
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
Balongolaki bokonzi ya banyama mosusu, kasi babakiselaki yango mikolo ya bomoi kino na tango oyo ekatama.
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Kati na bimoniseli na ngai ya butu,
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed.
Bapesaki Ye bokonzi, lokumu mpe nguya;
15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of [my] body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Ngai, Daniele, namitungisaki makasi; mpe bimoniseli oyo eyaki na makanisi na ngai ebangisaki ngai makasi.
16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
Napusanaki pene ya moko kati na ba-oyo batelemaki wana, natunaki ye ndimbola ya solo ya makambo oyo namonaki. Ayanolaki ngai mpe apesaki ngai ndimbola ya makambo wana nyonso:
17 These great beasts, which are four, [are] four kings, [which] shall arise out of the earth.
— Banyama nyonso minei wana ya minene ezali kolakisa bakonzi minei oyo bakobima na mabele;
18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
kasi basantu ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo bakozwa bokonzi mpe bakobatela yango mpo na libela, seko na seko.
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
Bongo, nalingaki koyeba na bosolo ndimbola ya nyama ya minei oyo ekesenaki makasi na banyama mosusu wana, ezalaki kobangisa makasi, ezalaki na minu ya bibende mpe mbanga ya bronze, ezalaki kolia, kopanzapanza mpe konyata misuni oyo ezalaki etikala.
20 And of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and [of] the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even [of] that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look [was] more stout than his fellows.
Nalingaki lisusu koyeba ndimbola ya maseke zomi oyo ezalaki na moto na yango mpe ya liseke mosusu oyo ebimaki, oyo maseke misato kati na maseke wana zomi ekweyaki liboso na yango, oyo ezalaki na miso mpe na monoko oyo ezalaki koloba na lolendo, mpe oyo ezalaki makasi koleka maseke mosusu.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Wana nazalaki kotala liseke yango, namonaki yango kobundisa mpe kolonga basantu
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
kino tango Mpaka oyo azala liboso ya tango ayaki kobundela basantu ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, mpe kino tango ya kozwa bokonzi ekokoka mpo na bango.
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Moto oyo natunaki ndimbola ya ndoto alobaki na ngai: — Nyama oyo ya minei ezali mokonzi ya minei oyo akobima na mabele. Akokesana makasi na babokonzi wana nyonso: akoboma mokili mobimba, akonyata mpe akopanza-panza yango.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Maseke zomi elingi koloba ete bakonzi zomi bakobima na bokonzi oyo. Sima na bango, mokonzi mosusu akobima, akokesana na bakonzi ya liboso mpe akokweyisa bakonzi misato;
25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
akotiola na maloba na ye Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, akonyokola basantu na Ye, akomeka ata kobongola manaka ya bafeti oyo ekatama mpe mibeko. Basantu bakozala na se ya bokonzi na ye mibu misato na ndambo.
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy [it] unto the end.
Kasi bato ya mibeko bakovanda lisanga mpe bakobotola ye bokonzi, mpe bokonzi yango ekokufa mpe ekolimwa libela.
27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
Kasi bokonzi, nguya mpe lokumu ya bikolo oyo ezali na se ya moyi ekopesama na ekolo ya basantu ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo. Bokonzi ya ekolo yango ekowumela seko na seko, mpe bakonzi ya bikolo nyonso ya mokili bakosalela mpe bakotosa ekolo yango.
28 Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
Lisolo ya ndoto na ngai esuki awa. Ngai, Daniele, namitungisaki mingi kati na motema na ngai, elongi na ngai ebebaki na somo mpe nabombaki makambo oyo kati na motema na ngai.
