< Daniel 7 >
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream; he told the sum of the matters.
Amy taom-baloha’ i Belsatsare mpanjaka’ i Baveley, nahaoniñe nofy naho aroñaroñe añ’ambone’e, am-pandrea’e ao t’i Daniele; sinoki’e i nofiy vaho mitalily o renen-tsara’eo.
2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens broke forth upon the great sea.
Hoe t’i Daniele: Nitreako añ’ aroñaron-kaleñe, te inge nitorotositse amy riake jabajabay ty tiok’efa’ i likerañey.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.
Le niakatse amy riakey ty biby ra’elahy efatse, tsy nifanahake.
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till its wings were plucked; and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Hoe liona reketse elam-bantio ty valoha’e; nañente iraho ampara’ te nonorañe o ela’eo, naho nongaheñe an-tane eo, naho nampijohañañe an-tombo’e hoe ondaty vaho tinolotse fo’ondaty.
5 And behold, another beast, a second, like unto a bear, and it raised up itself on one side; and [it had] three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and they said thus unto it: Arise, devour much flesh.
Indroañe ty biby faharoe hoe dobe, nivoalatse ami’ty ila’e raike, le tam-bava’e ao, tañivo’ o nife’eo ty pake telo; vaho hoe ty tsinara ama’e: Miongaha, mampibotseha nofotse tsifotofoto.
6 After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Modo izay le nahatrea raike ka, hoe nemare, ninday elam-boroñe efatse an-dambosi’e eo; efatse ka ty loha’ i bibiy, vaho nimean-dily.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceeding strong; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Ie añe, le nitreako añ’ aroñaron-kaleñe te inge ty biby fahefatse mampangebahebake naho mampirevendreveñe naho loho maozatse; ama’ nife viñe jabajaba, mampibotseke, mampipozake vaho mandialia ty sisa o tombo’eo; miambak’ amo biby taoloo re, ie aman-tsifa folo.
8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another, a little horn, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Hinaraharako o tsifa’eo, le hehe te nipotitsik’ añivo’ o ila’eo ty tsifa kedekede, le nombotañe añatrefa’e eo ty tsifa’e telo teo; le hehek’ ami’ty tsifa toy ty maso manahake ty fihaino’ ondaty, naho vava mivolam-pirengetañe.
9 I beheld till thrones were set, and the Ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was flames of fire, [and] its wheels burning fire.
Nañente iraho ampara’ te nampivotrahañe fiambesatse, naho niambesatse i Haehaey, foty matsatsaoke hoe volovaso o saro’eo vaho hoe volon’ añondry ki’e o maroin’añambone’eo; mirebareba lel’afo i fiambesa’ey, afo misolebatse o larô’eo.
10 A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Mikararàke boak’ ama’e ty oñe afo; arivo añ’arivo’e ty niatrak’ aze, ale añ’ale’e ty nijohañe añatrefa’e; najadoñe i zakay vaho sinokake o bokeo.
11 I beheld therefore, because of the voice of the great words that the horn spoke; I beheld till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given up to be burned with fire.
Nisamba avao iraho, ty amy feo-pivolam-pirengevohañe nivolàñe’ i tsifaiy; nañente ampara’ te vinono i bibiy naho niantantiritse i sandri’ey vaho natolotse ho sodorañe añ’afo.
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
Nafahañe amo biby ila’eo ty lili’ iareo, f’ie tinovoñ’ andro naho sa hivelomañe.
13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven [one] like a son of man, and he came up even to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Nitolom-pañente añ’ aroñaron-kalen-draho ampara’ te indroañ’ an-drahon-dikerañe ty nimb’eo manahake ty Ana’ondaty, Nimb’amy Haehaey, vaho nampañatrefeñe ama’e.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed.
Le nitoloran-dily naho asiñe vaho ty fifeheañe. Hitoroña’ ze kila ondaty, fifeheañe naho fameleke. Fandiliañe nainai’e tsy ho modo i fandilia’ey; vaho tsy mbia harotsake i fifehea’ey.
15 As for me Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Nihohokòhok’ an-troke ao, izaho Daniele vaho nañembañ’ ahy o aroñaron-dohakoo.
16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the certainty of all this. And he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:
Niharineako ty raike amo nijohajohañeo vaho nañontaneako ty dika tò i hoe zay iaby. Aa le nitaroñe’e naho nirazañe’e amako.
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, [that] shall arise out of the earth.
Fifeheañe efatse i biby jabajaba efatse hitroatse boak’an-tane atoy rey.
18 But the saints of the most high [places] shall receive the kingdom, and they shall possess the kingdom for ever, even to the ages of ages.
Fe ho rambese’ o noro’ i Abo Tiañeio i fifeheañey vaho ho fanaña’ iareo nainai’e, toe an-tsa-an-tsa i fifeheañey.
19 Then I desired to know the certainty concerning the fourth beast, which was different from them all, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet;
Ie amy zay te ho nahafohiñe ty hatò’ i biby fahefatsey iraho, i niambak’ amy ila’e iaby reiy. Nampirevendreveñe; viñe o nife’eo naho torisìke o hoho’eo. Nabotse’e naho dinemo’e vaho linialia’ ty tombo’e ze nisisa;
20 and concerning the ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and before which three fell: even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose look was more imposing than its fellows.
naho o tsifa folo an-doha’eo naho i tsifa nipotìtse vaho nampihintsañe i telo ila’e reiy, i nanañe maso naho vava hivolaña’e raha mahasintoñey, i hoe zoke’ i ila’e reiy te henteañe.
21 I beheld, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them;
Nitolom-pisamba iraho le nialy amo noro’eo i tsifay naho nahagioke
22 until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most high [places]; and the appointed time arrived, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
ampara’ te niavy i Haehaey, vaho nimean-to o noro’ i Andindimoneñeio. Totsak’ amy zao ty sa’ nampanañañe o noro’eo i fifeheañey.
23 He said thus: The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Inao ty talili’e: Ho fifeheañe fah’efatse an-tane atoy i biby fahefatsey; hiambak’ amo fifeheañe iabio, fa fonga habotse’e ty tane toy, le ho lialia’e, vaho ho demohe’e.
24 And as to the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall arise ten kings; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be different from the former, and he shall subdue three kings.
Mpanjaka folo ty hitroatse amy tsifa folo rey; eo ka ty hitroatse hanonjohy iereo, naho hiambak’ amo taoloo vaho hafotsa’e ty mpanjaka telo.
25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most high [places], and think to change seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and a half time.
Hiteratera i Andindimoneñey re, naho ho mokore’e o noro’ i Abo Tiañeo vaho hikinia hañova sa naho lily, vaho hatolotse am-pità’e iereo handritse ty sa naho o sa-o vaho ty vakin-tsa.
26 And the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
Fe hajadoñe ty zaka, le hasintak’ ama’e ty lili’e, vaho ho vata’e rotsaheñe ho mongoreñe kitro katroke.
27 But the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavens, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most high [places]. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
Hatolotse am’ondati’ noro’ i Andindimoneñeio i fifeheañey naho ty lily naho ty enge’ ze hene fifeheañe ambanen-dikerañe. Ho nainai’e ty fifehea’iareo; songa hitoroñe naho hivohotse am’iareo ze kila fifelehañe.
28 So far is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.
Nigadoñe eo i fandrazañañey, le nirevendreveñe am-pitsakoreako ao, izaho, Daniele, naho nikofoty ty vintako, fe nifaharako an-trok’ ao i entañe zay.
