< Daniel 10 >

1 In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians, a word was revealed to Daniel surnamed Baltassar, and a true word, and great strength: and he understood the word: for there is need of understanding in a vision.
Ie tan-taom-paha-telo’ i Kòrese mpanjaka’ i Parase, le nibentareñe amy Daniele natao Beltesatsare ty tsara; to i tsaray, toe hotakotake jabajaba; nioni’e i tsaray vaho nahafohiñe i aroñaroñey.
2 In those days I Daniel mourned the days of three weeks.
Ie tañ’ andro izay, nandala telo hereñandro garagadìñe, izaho Daniele.
3 I ate no desirable bread, and neither flesh, nor wine entered into my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment: till the days of three weeks were accomplished.
Tsy nihinan-kàne mafiry naho tsy nizilik’ am-bavako ao ty hena ndra divay; vaho le lia’e tsy nihoso-batañe am-para’ te niheneke i hereñandro telo do’ey.
4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month I was by the great river which is the Tigris.
Aa ie amy andro faha-roa-polo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-baloha’ey, le tañolo’ ty oñe jabajaba atao Kidekele iraho;
5 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw: and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold:
ie naandrako o masokoo le nitreako te ingo t’indaty misikin-deny naho miè-bolamena ki’e boak’e Ofaze;
6 And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms, and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering brass: and the voice of his word like the voice of a multitude.
nanahake ty vatosoa’ i Tarsise ty sandri’e, naho hoe helatse ty lahara’e, naho hoe failo o fihaino’eo, naho hoe volon-torisìke solanto’e o fità’eo naho o fandia’eo, vaho nanahake ty firedoña’ i màroy ty fiarañanaña’e.
7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves.
Izaho Daniele avao ty nahatrea i aroñaroñey, le tsy nahaisake i aroñaroñey ondaty nindre amakoo, fa fangebahebahañe ty nivo­trahañe naho nitriban-day vaho nietak’ añe.
8 And I being left alone saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength.
Le nidoñe eo avao iraho nañente i aroñaroñe ra’elahiy, vaho ni-po-kaozarañe, nikomavo ty vintako, le tsy nahatan-kafatra­rañe.
9 And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard, I lay in a consternation, upon my face, and my face was close to the ground.
Tsinanoko ty fiarañanaña’ o tsara’eo, le izaho nitsa­noñe ty fiarañanaña’ o tsara’eo ro nampilañahen-droro an-tareheko, ty pandako nitolik’ an-tane.
10 And behold a hand touched me, and lifted me up upon my knees, and upon the joints of my hands.
Nañedre ahy amy zao ty fitàñe nampihohok’ ahy añ’ongotse naho an-dela-tañañe.
11 And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling.
Le hoe re tamako, O Daniele, ondaty toe kokoañeo, tsendreño ty tsara hitaroñako, le mitrahàña naho mijohaña; fa nampihitrifeñe ama’o iraho. Ie nisaontsie’e i tsaray le nijagarìdiñe an-titititike avao iraho.
12 And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words.
Le hoe re amako, Ko hemban-drehe, Daniele, fa boak’ amy andro valoha’ i nanolora’o arofo hahafohiñe, naho nampisotrie’o añ’ atrefan’ Añahare ty fiai’oiy, le fa jinanjiñe o enta’oo, vaho o saontsi’oo ty nivotrahako etoañe;
13 But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians.
fe nanebañe ahy andro roapolo-raik’ amby ty roandria mpifehe’ i Parase; ie amy zay niheo amako mb’eo t’i Mikaele, raik’ amo mpifehe amboneo, nañolotse ahy tsy ho paiañe amo mpanjaka’ i Paraseo ka.
14 But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days.
Pok’ etoan-draho hampahafohiñe azo ty hifetsak’ am’ ondati’oo amo andro honka’eo, fe mbe andro maro añe i niaroñaroñañey.
15 And when he was speaking such words to me, I cast down my countenance to the ground, and held my peace.
Aa ie nisaontsy i tsaray amako, le nitolik’ mb’an-tane iraho vaho nijomohõñe.
16 And behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me: O my Lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no strength hath remained in me.
Le ingo te nitsapa o soñikoo ty hambam-bintañ’ ami’ty ana’ondaty; le nanoka-bava, nanao ty hoe amy nijohañe aoloko eoy: Ry Talèko, mampioremeñe ahy i aroñaroñey vaho tsy mahatàn-kafatrarañe.
17 And how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? for no strength remaineth in me, moreover my breath is stopped.
Fa aia ty mpitoron-Talèko t’ie hahafivolañe amy Talè? Aa izaho henane zay, le tsy aman-kery vaho tsy nahakofòke.
18 Therefore he that looked like a man touched me again, and strengthened me.
Nimb’ amako indraike indaty manahake i ana’ ondatiy, nañedre naho nañohò ahy.
19 And he said: Fear not, O man of desires, peace be to thee: take courage and be strong. And when he spoke to me, I grew strong: and I said: Speak, O my lord, for thou hast strengthened me.
Hoe re, Ko hemban-drehe, ry toe kokoañeo, fañaintsiñe ama’o, mifalea, naho mijangaña. Ie nisaontsy amako le nihafatratse vaho nanoeko ty hoe: Ehe isaontsio ry Talèko fa nampahozare’o.
20 And he said: Dost thou know wherefore I am come to thee? and now I will return, to fight against the prince of the Persians. When I went forth, there appeared the prince of the Greeks coming.
Aa le hoe re, Fohi’o hao ty nivotrahako ama’o etoy? Amy t’ie tsy mete tsy mibalike hialy amy roandria’ i Parasey; le ie engako, ho avy ka ty roandria’ Iavane.
21 But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince.
Fe ho razañeko ama’o i misokitse amy boken-katòy; izaho tsy amam-pañolotse amy raha rezay, naho tsy i Mikaele roandria’oy avao.
