Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Baltasar; and the thing was true, and great power and understanding in the vision was given to him.
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 full weeks.
Tamin’ izany andro izany izaho Daniela dia nisaona roatokom-bolana mipaka.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, and no flesh or wine entered into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself with oil, until three whole weeks were accomplished.
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, I was near the great river, which is Tigris Eddekel.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana voalohany, raha teo amoron’ ny ony lehibe aho (Hidekela izany),
5 And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with gold of Ophaz:
dia nanopy ny masoko aho ka nijery, ary, indro, nisy lehilahy iray nitafy rongony fotsy, ka tena volamena avy any Ofaza no nisikinany;
6 and his body was as Tharsis, and his face was a the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his legs as the appearance of shining brass, and the voice of his words as 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 And I Daniel only saw the vision: and the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great amazement fell upon them, and they fled in fear.
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, and there was no strength left in me, and my glory was turned into corruption, 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: and when I heard him I was pricked [in the heart], and [I fell with] my face to the earth.
Nefa nandre ny teniny ihany aho; ary nony nandre izany aho, dia renoky ny torimaso niankohoka tamin’ ny tany.
10 And, behold, a hand touched me, and it raised me on my knees.
Ary, indro, nisy tanana nanohina ka nanarina ahy handohalika sy hitehin-tanana, nefa mbola nangozohozo ihany.
11 And he said to me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak to you, and stand upright: for I am now sent to you. And when he had spoken to me this word, 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 And he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to afflict yourself before the Lord your God, they words were heard, and I am come because of your words.
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 the Persians withstood me twenty-one days: and behold, Michael, one of the princes, came to help me; and I left him there with the chief of the kingdom of the Persians:
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 and I have come to inform you of all that shall befall your people in the last 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 And when he had spoken with me according to these words, I turned my face to the ground, and was pricked [in the heart].
Ary nony nilaza izany teny izany tamiko izy, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany aho sady tsy nahateny.
16 And, behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O [my] lord, at the sight of you my bowels were turned within me, and I had 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 And how shall your servant be able, O [my] lord, to speak with this my lord? and as for me, from henceforth strength will not remain in me, and there is 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 And there touched me again as it were the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Ary nisy indray nanana endrik’ olona nanendry ahy koa, dia nampahery ahy
19 and said to me, Fear not, man greatly beloved: peace be to you, quit yourself like a man, and be strong. And when he had spoken with me, I received strength, 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 And he said, Know you, therefore I am come to you? and now I will return to fight with the prince of the Persians: and I was going in, and the prince of the Greeks came.
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 ordained in the scripture of truth: and there is no one that holds with me in these matters 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.
