Daniel 2
1 In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled his spirit, and sleep escaped him.
Ie tan-taom-paharoe’ ty fifehea’ i Nebokadnetsare, le nañinofy t’i Nebokadnetsare, naho nembereñe ty arofo’e vaho nibioñe ty firota’e.
2 So the king gave orders to summon the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to explain his dreams. When they came and stood before the king,
Aa le linili’ i mpanjakay te songa koiheñe o ambiasao naho o mpañorik’ androo vaho o nte-Kasdio, hanoro o nofi’eo amy mpanjakay. Aa ie nimbeo nijohañe añatrefa’ i mpanjakay eo,
3 he said to them, “I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to understand it.”
le hoe i mpanjakay am’ iereo: Nañinofy iraho, vaho angareñe ty troko haharendreke i nofiy.
4 Then the astrologers answered the king in Aramaic, “O king, may you live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation.”
Aa le nisaontsy amy mpanjakay o nte-Kasdio an-tsaontsi’ Arame ty hoe: Ry mpanjaka, lava-ohatse; taroño amo mpitoro’oo i nofiy vaho hirazaña’ay.
5 The king replied to the astrologers, “My word is final: If you do not tell me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut into pieces and your houses will be reduced to rubble.
Tinoi’ i mpanjakay amo nte-Kasdio ty hoe: Fa mijadoñe ty nisafiriako, naho tsy ampahafohineñ’ ahy i nofiy naho ty fandrazañaña’e, le ho tseratseraheñe nahareo vaho hanoeñe votren-deotse o akiba’ areoo.
6 But if you tell me the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. So tell me the dream and its interpretation.”
F’ie atoro’ areo i nofiy naho i fandrazaña’ey le handrambe tambe naho ravoravo naho asiñe ra’elahy amako; aa le atorò i nofiy naho i fandrazaña’ey.
7 They answered a second time, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will give the interpretation.”
Nanoiñe fañindroe’e iereo, ami’ty hoe: Ehe te hataro’ i mpanjakay amo mpitoro’eo i nofiy, vaho ho razañe’ay.
8 The king replied, “I know for sure that you are stalling for time, because you see that my word is final.
Nanoiñe ty hoe amy zao i mpanjakay: Apotako an-katò t’ie manao jomà-lava, fa oni’ areo te nihelañe amy tiahikoy.
9 If you do not tell me the dream, there is only one decree for you. You have conspired to speak before me false and fraudulent words, hoping the situation will change. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can give me its interpretation.”
Aa naho tsy ampahafohineñe ahy i nofiy, le raik’ avao ty hizakàñe anahareo, amy te vata’e mañentseñe lañitse naho talily mengoke ho lañonà’ areo amako, hañovàñe i rahay; aa le taroño amako i nofiy handrendrehako hera ho razañe’ areo.
10 The astrologers answered the king, “No one on earth can do what the king requests! No king, however great and powerful, has ever asked anything like this of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer.
Le tinoi’ o nte-Kasdio amy mpanjakay, ty hoe, Leo raik’ am’ ondati’ ty tane toio tsy hahafiboak’ i raha’ i mpanjakaiy ama'e, fa mbe lia’e tsy nañontaneam-panjaka ami’ ty ambiasa ndra mpañandro ndra nte-Kasdy ndra roandria ndra mpifeleke ty manahake izay.
11 What the king requests is so difficult that no one can tell it to him except the gods, whose dwelling is not with mortals.”
Toe raha tsitantane ty paia’ i mpanjakay, vaho tsy eo ty mahafanoro aze amy mpanjakay naho tsy o anjelio, ie tsy mitrao-pimoneñe ami’ty nofotse.
12 This response made the king so furious with anger that he gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Niviñetse amy zao i mpanjakay le niforoforo vaho linili’e te ho fonga mongoreñe ze ondaty mahihitse e Bavele ao.
13 So the decree went out that the wise men were to be executed, and men went to look for Daniel and his friends to execute them.
Naboele i tsey zay naho ho navetrake ondaty mahilalao, vaho pinai’ iareo ka t’i Daniele naho o mpiama’eo havetrake.
14 When Arioch, the commander of the king’s guard, had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon, Daniel replied with discretion and tact.
Nañàvohavo an-kihitse amy Arioke mpifehem-pigarim-panjakay t’i Daniele, ie fa nionjoñe hanjamañe ondaty mahilala’ i Baveleo;
15 “Why is the decree from the king so harsh?” he asked. At this time Arioch explained the situation to Daniel.
nisaontsie’e ty hoe amy Arioke mpifele’ i mpanjakay: Akore hao te taentaeñe i lili’ tsinei’ i mpanjakay? Aa le nampahafohine’ i Arioke t’i Daniele.
16 So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him some time, so that he could give him the interpretation.
Nimoak’ ao amy zao t’i Daniele, nihalaly amy mpanjakay hanolora’e andro handrazaña’e amy mpanjakay.
17 Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Nimb’añ’ akiba’e mb’eo amy zao t’i Daniele, nampahafohiñe i mpiama’e rey: i Kanania naho i Misaele vaho i Azarià,
18 urging them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be killed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
hihalalia’ iareo fiferenaiñañe amy Andrianañaharen-dikerañey ty amy raha mietakey, soa tsy ho fonga mongoreñe miharo am’ ondaty mahilala ila’e e Baveleo t’i Daniele naho i mpiama’e rey.
19 During the night, the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision, and he blessed the God of heaven
Naboak’ amy Daniele añ’ aroñaron-kaleñe i nietakey vaho nandriañe’e t’i Andrianañaharen-dikerañe.
20 and declared: “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him.
Hoe t’i Daniele: Andriañeñe nainai’e donia ty tahinan’Añahare, fa Aze ty hihitse naho haozarañe;
21 He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
Ie ty minday fañovan’andro naho sà: manitake mpifehe naho mampijadoñe mpifeleke; toroa’e hihitse ty mahihitse naho hilala o mahilalao;
22 He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.
aboa’e ty miheotse naho ty mietake; arofoana’e o añ’ieñeo, vaho imoneñan-kazavàñe.
23 To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, because You have given me wisdom and power. And now You have made known to me what we have requested, for You have made known to us the dream of the king.”
Ihe ry Andrianañaharen-droaeko, ty isolohoako naho anolorako engeñe amy te tinolo’o hihitse naho haozarañe, le nitoroa’o henaneo i nihalalia’ay, ami’ty naboa’o ama’ay ty enta’ i mpanjakay.
24 Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, “Do not execute the wise men of Babylon! Bring me before the king, and I will give him the interpretation.”
Ie amy zao, nimb’amy Arioke, i nafanto’ i mpanjakay hamono o mahihitse e Baveleoy mb’eo t’i Daniele nanao ty hoe: Ko zamaneñe o mahihi’ i Baveleo; aseseo amy mpanjakay iraho, hanoroako aze i fandrazañañey.
25 Arioch hastily brought Daniel before the king and said to him, “I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who will tell the king the interpretation.”
Aa le nendese’ i Arioke mb’añatrefa’ i mpanjakay mb’eo amy zao t’i Daniele le nanoa’e ty hoe: fa nahatrea ondaty amo mpirohi’ Iehodào iraho ze hampahafohiñe i mpanjakay i fandrazañañey.
26 The king responded to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to tell me what I saw in the dream, as well as its interpretation?”
Tinoi’ i mpanjakay ty hoe amy Daniele natao Beltesatsarey: Ihe hao ty hahafandrendrek’ ahy i nofy nitreakoy naho i fandrazaña’ey?
27 Daniel answered the king, “No wise man, enchanter, medium, or magician can explain to the king the mystery of which he inquires.
Nanoiñe ty hoe aolo’ i mpanjakay t’i Daniel, Ty ipaia’ i mpanjakaiy, le tsy mahafiboak’ aze amy mpanjakay ty mahihitse ndra mpañandro ndra ambiasa ndra mpitoky;
28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the latter days. Your dream and the visions that came into your mind as you lay on your bed were these:
fe andikerañe ao t’i Andrianañahare mpampiborake raha tsitantane; ie ty nampiboak’ amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka o raha hifetsak’ amo andro honka’eoo. Zao ty nofi’o, naho o aroñaron’ añambone’oo t’ie tam-pandreañe ao:
29 As you lay on your bed, O king, your thoughts turned to the future, and the Revealer of Mysteries made known to you what will happen.
Ihe ry mpanjaka, an-tihi’o eo te nonjoneñe o ereñere’oo haharendreke ze hifetsak’ amy añey, vaho nampibentatse o hifetsakeo i Mpampiborake o tsikentañeo.
30 And to me this mystery has been revealed, not because I have more wisdom than any man alive, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.
Aa naho amako, tsy ho nahaborake i mietakey amy ze hihitse mete ho amako mandikoatse ze amo veloñe iabio, fe hatoroko amy mpanjakay i fandrazañañey hahafohina’o o ereñeren’ arofo’oo.
31 As you, O king, were watching, a great statue appeared. A great and dazzling statue stood before you, and its form was awesome.
Nahatrea saren-draha jabajaba irehe, ry mpanjaka. Toe ra’elahy ty habei’ i sarey vaho losotse ty fireandrea’e, ie nijohañe añ’atrefa’o eo, mbore nampañeveñe i sandri’ey.
32 The head of the statue was pure gold, its chest and arms were silver, its belly and thighs were bronze,
Volamena ki’e ty loha’ i sarey, volafoty ty tratra’e naho o sira’eo; torisìke ty tro’e naho o tòha’eo;
33 its legs were iron, and its feet were part iron and part clay.
viñe o kitso’eo vaho nizara o tombo’eo, ty ila’e viñe naho tane lietse ty ila’e.
34 As you watched, a stone was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and crushed them.
Nisambae’o le nihatsafeñe tsy am-pitàñe ty vato namofoke o tomboke viñe naho lietseo, nampidemoke iareo.
35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were shattered and became like chaff on the threshing floor in summer. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that had struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Le nivolentsa amy zao i viñey, i lietsey, i torisìkey, i volafotiy, vaho i volamenay; manahake o kafo’e an-tane-panongañ’ asarao; nasio’ i tiokey mb’eo, le ndra loli’e tsy nitendreke ka. Le nitombo ho vohitse mitiotiotse nahalifotse ty voatse toy i vato nidoiñe amy rahaiy.
36 This was the dream; now we will tell the king its interpretation.
Izay i nofiy, le ho taroñe’ay ama’o i fandrazaña’ey.
37 You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength, and glory.
Mpanjakam-panjaka irehe ry mpanjaka, amy te natolon’ Añaharen-dikerañe azo, ty fifeheañe, ty haozarañe, ty hafatrarañe, vaho ty engeñe.
38 Wherever the sons of men or beasts of the field or birds of the air dwell, He has given them into your hand and has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.
Le natolo’e am-pità’o ze hene fimoneña’ o ana’ondatio, o biby an-kivokeo, naho o voron-dikerañeo; vaho hene nampifehe’e azo. Ihe i añambone volamenay.
39 But after you, there will arise another kingdom, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule the whole earth.
Manonjohy azo, le hitroatse ka ty fifeheañe ambane’ ty azo, vaho hañorike izay ty fifeheañe fahatelo, hifeleke i hene taney i fifeheañe torisìkey.
40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; for iron shatters and crushes all things, and like iron that crushes all things, it will shatter and crush all the others.
Haozarañe manahak’ o viñeo ty fifeheañe fah’efatse; naho hambañe ami’ty viñe mampidemoke naho mamofoke i he’e rezay, ty hampidemoha’e naho ty hamofoha’e.
41 And just as you saw that the feet and toes were made partly of fired clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom, yet some of the strength of iron will be in it—just as you saw the iron mixed with clay.
Le i nahaoniña’o o tomboke naho rambo’eoy, ty ila’e ni-liem-panao valàñe tane, ty ila’e viñe, le hizarazara i fifeheañey, fe ho ama’e ty haozara’ i viñey, ie nioni’o te nifangaro amy liem-panao valàñe-taney ty viñe.
42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
Le manahake te nizara ho viñe ty ila’ o rambo-tombo’eo naho lietse ty ila’e, le haozatse ty ampaha’ i fifeheañey vaho harantsañe ty ila’e.
43 As you saw the iron mixed with clay, so the peoples will mix with one another, but will not hold together any more than iron mixes with clay.
Aa i nioni’oy, i viñe nitraoke lietsey: Hifangaro añamo tiri’ ondatio iereo, fe tsy hifampipiteke, manahake ty tsy iharoa’ ty viñe naho ty lietse.
44 In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will shatter all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself stand forever.
Ie añ’andro i mpanjaka rey, le hampitroatse fifeheañe tsy ho mengoke nainai’e t’i Andrianañaharen-dikerañe, le tsy ho limbezam-pifokoa’ ondaty i fifeheañe zay, fe fonga ho demohe’e naho habotse’e o fifeheañeo, vaho ie ty hijadoñe nainai’e.
45 And just as you saw a stone being cut out of the mountain without human hands, and it shattered the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold, so the great God has told the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation is trustworthy.”
Le ami’ty nahaoniña’o te hinatsake tsy am-pitàñe amy vohitsey ty vato nandemoke i viñey naho i torisìkey naho i lietsey naho i volafotiy vaho i volamenay; ie ty nampiboahan’ Añahare ra’èlahiy amy mpanjakay ty hifetsak’ amy ze añe. Toe to i nofiy, naho vantañe i fandrazaña’ey.
46 At this, King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, paid homage to Daniel, and ordered that an offering of incense be presented to him.
Aa le nihotrake naho nibabok’ an-dahara’e naho nire-batañe añ’atrefa’ i Daniele eo t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka vaho linili’e t’ie hisoroñañe naho hañembohañe.
47 The king said to Daniel, “Your God is truly the God of gods and Lord of kings, the Revealer of Mysteries, since you were able to reveal this mystery.”
Nanao ty hoe amy Daniele i mpanjakay; Toe Andrianañaharen’ drahare t’i Andrianañahare vaho Talèm-panjaka naho Mpampiborake raha mietake t’i Andrianañahare’o, kanao nabenta’e ama’o i raha mietakey.
48 Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many generous gifts. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon.
Aa le nonjone’ i mpanjakay t’i Daniele naho nitolora’e ravoravo fanjaka maro vaho nanoe’e mpifehe’ i hene faritane’ i Baveley naho mpifeleke o fonga mpifehe’ o mahihi’ i Baveleoo.
49 And at Daniel’s request, the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to manage the province of Babylon, while Daniel remained in the king’s court.
Nihalaly amy mpanjakay t’i Daniele, vaho najado’e ho mpamandroñe o raham-paritane’ i Baveleo t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò; le tan-dalambei’ i mpanjakay t’i Daniele.
