Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a 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 for three full weeks.
Tamin’ izany andro izany izaho Daniela dia nisaona roatokom-bolana mipaka.
3 I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.
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 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris,
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 behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.
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 was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound 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 Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them, and they ran and hid 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, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.
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 I heard the sound of his words, and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.
Nefa nandre ny teniny ihany aho; ary nony nandre izany aho, dia renoky ny torimaso niankohoka tamin’ ny tany.
10 Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.
Ary, indro, nisy tanana nanohina ka nanarina ahy handohalika sy hitehin-tanana, nefa mbola nangozohozo ihany.
11 He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had said this to me, I stood up 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 “Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
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 However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left 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 explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”
Ary avy hampahafantatra anao izay hanjo ny firenenao any am-parany aho, satria mbola hihatra amin’ izany andro izany ny fahitana.
15 While he was speaking these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless.
Ary nony nilaza izany teny izany tamiko izy, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany aho sady tsy nahateny.
16 And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have 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 How can I, your servant, speak with you, my lord? Now I have no strength, nor is any 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 Again the one with the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.
Ary nisy indray nanana endrik’ olona nanendry ahy koa, dia nampahery ahy
19 “Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious,” he said. “Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!” As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, 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 “Do you know why I have come to you?” he said. “I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, 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 first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except 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.
