Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Baltasar, king of the Chaldeans Daniel had a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed: and he wrote his dream.
Fahitana niseho tamin’ i Daniela ny amin’ ny fanjakana efatra lehibe, sy ny hitsaran’ Andriamanitra ireo. Tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Belsazara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia nanonofy Daniela sady nahita fahitana tao am-pandriany, ary nosoratany ny nofy, ka nambarany ny fotopototry ny teny.
2 I Daniel saw, and, behold, the four winds of heaven blew violently upon the great sea.
Dia niteny Daniela ka nanao hoe: Nahita tamin’ ny fahitako tamin’ ny alina aho, fa, indreo, ny rivotra efatry ny lanitra nibosesika teny amin’ ny ranomasina lehibe.
3 And there came up four great beasts out of the sea, differing from one another.
Ary nisy biby efatra lehibe samy hafa niakatra avy tamin’ ny ranomasina.
4 The first [was] as a lioness, and her wings as an eagle's; I saw until her wings were plucked, ands she was lifted off from the earth, and she stood on human feet, and a man's heart was given to her.
Ny voalohany dia toy ny liona ary nanana elatry ny voromahery; nijery aho ambara-panongotra ny elany, ary natsangana avy tamin’ ny tany izy ka najoro tamin’ ny tongony roa toy ny fijoron’ ny olona, sady natao manana fon’ olombelona izy.
5 And, behold, a second beast like a bear, and it supported itself on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth: and thus they said to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
Ary indro koa ny faharoa, biby hafa tahaka ny bera, izay nampisondrotra ny ila-tenany, sady nisy taolan-tehezana telo teo am-bavany anelanelan’ ny nifiny; ary toy izao no voalaza taminy: Mitsangàna, homàna nofo be.
6 After this one I looked, and behold another wild beast as a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon it: and the wild beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
Ary nony afaka izany, dia nahita aho fa, indro, nisy hafa koa toy ny leoparda, izay nanana ela-borona efatra teo an-damosiny, ary io biby io nanana loha efatra, ary nomena fanapahana izy.
7 After this one I looked, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong, and its teeth were of iron; devouring and crushing to atoms, and it trampled the remainder with its feet: and it was altogether different from the beasts that were before it; and it [had] ten hours.
Nony afaka izany, dia nahita tamin’ ny fahitana tamin’ ny alina aho, ary, indro ny fahefatra, biby mahatsiravina sady matanjaka sy mahery indrindra, ary nanana nify vy lehibe izy; nihinana sy nanotahota izy, ary ny sisa tsy laniny dia nohosihosen’ ny tongony; ary hafa noho ny biby rehetra teo alohany izy sady nanana tandroka folo.
8 I noticed his horns, and behold, another little horn came up in the midst of them, and before it three of the former horns were rooted out: and, behold, [there were] eyes as the eyes of a man in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
Nodinihiko ny tandroka, ka, indro, nisy tandroka iray kely koa nipoitra teo aminy, ary novohana teo anoloan’ io ny tandroka telo tamin’ ireo taloha; ary, indro, nanana maso toy ny mason’ olona sy vava miteny zavatra mihoa-pampana izy.
9 I saw until the thrones were set, and the Ancient of days sat; and his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head, as pure wool: his throne was a flame of fire, [and] his wheels burning fire.
Mbola nijery ihany aho mandra-pametraka ny seza fiandrianana, ary ny Fahagola no nipetraka teo, ny fitafiany dia fotsy toy ny fanala, ary ny volon-dohany toy ny volon’ ondry madio; ny seza fiandrianany dia lelafo, ary ny kodiany dia afo mirehitra.
10 A stream of fire rushed forth before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousands of myriads, attended upon him: the judgement sat, and the books were opened.
Ony afo no nivoaka sy nandeha avy teo anatrehany; arivoarivo no nanompo Azy, ary alinalina no nitsangana teo anatrehany; nipetraka ny Mpitsara, ary novelarina ny boky.
11 I saw then because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke, until the wild beast was slain and destroyed, and his body given to be burnt with fire.
Dia mbola nijery ihany aho noho ny feon’ ny teny mihoapampana notenenin’ ilay tandroka; eny, nijery aho ambara-pamono ny biby, ka nolevonina ny tenany, ary natao teo amin’ ny afo mirehitra izy.
12 And the dominion of the rest of the wild beasts was taken away; but a prolonging of life was given them for certain times.
Ary ny amin’ ny biby, sasany, dia nesorina taminy ny fanapahany; nefa nohalavaina ihany ny andro hiainany mandra-pahalanin’ ny andro sy ny fotoana.
13 I saw in the night vision, and, behold, [one] coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he came on to the Ancient of days, and was brought near to him.
Ary mbola nahita tamin’ ny fahitana tamin’ ny alina ihany aho, ary, indro, nisy toy ny zanak’ olona avy tamin’ ny rahon’ ny lanitra, ary nankeo amin’ ny Fahagola Izy, dia nampanakekeny teo anatrehany.
14 And to him was given the dominion, and the honour, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.
Ary nomena fanapahana sy voninahitra ary fanjakana Izy, mba hanompoan’ ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena ary ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra Azy; ny fanapahany dia fanapahana mandrakizay ka tsy ho tapaka, ary ny fanjakany tsy ho rava.
15 [As for] me Daniel, my spirit in my body trembled, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Izaho Daniela nalahelo tam-panahy, ary ny fahitan’ ny lohako naharaiki-tahotra ahy.
16 And I drew near to one of them that stood by, and I sought to learn of him the truth of all these things: and he told me the truth, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
Dia nanakaiky ilay anankiray tamin’ izay nitsangana teo aho ka nanontany azy ny fototr’ izany rehetra izany. Dia nambarany tamiko, ka nampahafantariny ahy ny hevitry ny zavatra.
17 These four beasts are four kingdoms [that] shall rise up on the earth:
Ireo biby lehibe efatra ireo dia mpanjaka efatra izay hitsangana avy amin’ ny tany.
18 which shall be taken away; and the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess it for ever and ever.
Nefa ny olo-masin’ ny Avo Indrindra no hahazo ny fanjakana ary hanana ny fanjakana mandrakizay alaovalo.
19 Then I enquired carefully concerning the fourth beast; for it differed from every [other] beast, exceeding dreadful: its teeth were of iron, and its claws of brass, devouring, and utterly breaking to pieces, and it trampled the remainder with its feet:
Dia naniry hahalala izay fototra marina ny amin’ ny fahefatra aho, dia ilay biby hafa noho izy rehetra sady mahatsiravina indrindra izay nanana nify vy sy hoho varahina sady nihinana sy nanotahota, ary ny sisa tsy laniny dia nohosihosen’ ny tongony;
20 and concerning it ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and rooted up [some] of the former, which had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and his look was bolder than the rest.
ary ny amin’ ny tandroka folo teo an-dohany sy ny anankiray koa izay nipoitra, ka nisy telo potraka teo anoloany, dia ilay tandroka nanana maso sy vava izay niteny zavatra mihoapampana, ary ny fijery azy dia lehibe noho ny namany.
21 I saw, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Mbola nijery ihany aho, ary izany tandroka izany nanoto ny olo-masìna ka naharesy azy,
22 until the Ancient of days came, and he gave judgement to the saints of the Most High; and the time came on, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
ambara-pihavin’ ny Fahagola, ka nomena rariny ny olo-masin’ ny Avo Indrindra; ary tonga ny fotoana nahazoan’ ny olo-masìna ny fanjakana.
23 And he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on the earth, which shall excel all [other] kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and trample and destroy it.
Izao no nolazainy: Ilay fahefatra amin’ ny biby dia fanjakana fahefatra etỳ ambonin’ ny tany, izay ho hafa noho ny fanjakana rehetra sady handrava ny tany rehetra ary hanosihosy sy hanorotoro azy.
24 And his ten horns are ten kings [that] shall arise: and after them shall arise another, who shall exceed all the former ones in wickedness and he shall subdue three kings.
Ary ny tandroka folo dia mpanjaka folo izay hitsangana avy amin’ izany fanjakana izany; ary hisy iray koa hitsangana manaraka azy; hafa noho ny voalohany izy ary handresy mpanjaka telo.
25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change times and law: and [power] shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.
Ary hiteny hanohitra ny Avo Indrindra izy sy hampahory ny olo-masin’ ny Avo Indrindra ary hitady hanova fotoana sy lalàna; ary hatolotra eny an-tànany ireo ambara-pahatapitry ny fetr’ andro iray sy ny fetr’ andro roa ary ny antsasaky ny fetr’ andro.
26 And the judgement has sat, and they shall remove [his] dominion to abolish it, and to destroy it utterly.
Fa hipetraka ny Mpitsara, ary hesorina ny fanapahany, ka horavana sy hosimbana hatramin’ ny farany izy.
27 And the kingdom and the power and the greatness of the kings that are under the whole heaven were given to the saints of the Most High; and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all powers shall serve and obey him.
Ary ny fanjakana sy ny fanapahana ary ny fahalehibiazan’ ny fanjakana eny ambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra dia homena ny olo-masin’ ny Avo Indrindra; ny fanjakany dia fanjakana mandrakizay, ary ny fanapahana rehetra dia hanompo sy hanoa Azy.
28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance was changed: but I kept the matter in my heart.
Hatramin’ izao no faran’ izany zavatra izany. Ny amiko, izaho Daniela, dia naharaiki-tahotra ahy indrindra ny eritreritro, ka nivaloarika ny tarehiko, nefa notehiriziko tao am-poko ihany izany zavatra izany.
