Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
Tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakan’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Persia, dia nisy nambara tamin’ i Daniela, izay atao hoe Beltesazara; marina ny teny, ary ady mafy no nolazainy; ary nahalala ny teny izy sady nahafantatra ny fahitana.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
Tamin’ izany andro izany izaho Daniela dia nisaona roatokom-bolana mipaka.
3 I ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I did not anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Tsy nihinana hanim-py aho, sady tsy nanendry hena na divay ny vavako, ary tsy nihosotra diloilo akory aho ambara-pahatapitry ny roatokom-bolana mipaka.
4 In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana voalohany, raha teo amoron’ ny ony lehibe aho (Hidekela izany),
5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.
dia nanopy ny masoko aho ka nijery, ary, indro, nisy lehilahy iray nitafy rongony fotsy, ka tena volamena avy any Ofaza no nisikinany;
6 His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
tahaka ny krysolita ny tenany, ary tahaka ny helatra ny tarehiny, ary tahaka ny fanilo mirehitra ny masony, ary mivolom-barahina manganohano ny sandriny sy ny tongony; ary ny feony toy ny feon’ olona maro be;
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
ary izaho Daniela ihany no nahita ny fahitana; fa ny olona izay teo amiko kosa tsy mba nahita izany, fa toran-kovitra indrindra izy ka nandositra niery.
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
Ary dia nilaozana ho irery aho ary nahita izany fahitana lehibe izany, dia tsy nisy hery tafajanona tato amiko; fa nihasimba nivaloarika ny tarehiko, ary tsy nisy hery intsony tamiko.
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Nefa nandre ny teniny ihany aho; ary nony nandre izany aho, dia renoky ny torimaso niankohoka tamin’ ny tany.
10 Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
Ary, indro, nisy tanana nanohina ka nanarina ahy handohalika sy hitehin-tanana, nefa mbola nangozohozo ihany.
11 He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
Ary hoy izy tamiko: Ry Daniela malala ô, fantaro ny teny Izay lazaiko aminao, ka mijoroa; fa nirahina ho atỳ aminao aho ankehitriny. Ary nony nilaza izany teny izany tamiko izy, dia nitsangana nangozohozo teo aho.
12 Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
Dia hoy izy tamiko: Aza matahotra, ry Daniela; fa hatramin’ ilay andro voalohany nampiasanao ny fonao hahalala sy hampahory ny tenanao teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitrao dia reko ny teninao, ary noho ny teninao dia avy aho.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Fa ilay andrianan’ ny fanjakan’ i Persia nanohitra ahy iraika amby roa-polo andro; fa indro kosa Mikaela, anankiray amin’ ireo andriana lehibe, no tonga hanampy ahy; ka dia izaho ihany no sisa nijanona teo amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Persia.
14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
Ary avy hampahafantatra anao izay hanjo ny firenenao any am-parany aho, satria mbola hihatra amin’ izany andro izany ny fahitana.
15 When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and was mute.
Ary nony nilaza izany teny izany tamiko izy, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany aho sady tsy nahateny.
16 Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.
Ary, indro, nisy anankiray miendri-janak’ olombelona nanendry ny molotro, dia niloa-bava aho ka niteny nanao tamin’ ilay nitsangana teo anatrehako hoe: Tompoko, azon’ ny fanaintainana aho noho ny fahitana ka tsy manan-kery intsony.
17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”
Fa aiza no ahazoan’ ity izaho mpanompon’ ny tompoko ity hiteny aminao tompoko? Ary tamin’ izay dia tsy nisy hery nitoetra tato amiko intsony, na nisy aina sisa tato amiko.
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
Ary nisy indray nanana endrik’ olona nanendry ahy koa, dia nampahery ahy
19 He said, “Greatly beloved man, do not be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
ka nanao hoe: Aza matahotra, ry ilay malala indrindra; fiadanana anie ho anao, mahereza, eny, mahereza. Ary rehefa niteny tamiko izy, dia nihahery aho ka nanao hoe: Aoka hiteny ianao tompoko, satria efa nampahery ahy.
20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
Dia hoy izy: Moa fantatrao va ny nihaviako atỳ aminao? Ankehitriny dia hiverina hiady amin’ ny andrianan’ i Persia aho, ary rehefa mivoaka aho, dia, indro, ho avy ny andrianan’ i Grisia.
21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.
Fa hambarako aminao izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny soratra marina; nefa tsy misy miara-misikìna amiko hanohitra ireo, afa-tsy Mikaela andriananareo.
