< Daniel 10 >

1 In the third yeere of Cyrus King of Persia, a thing was reueiled vnto Daniel (whose name was called Belteshazzar) and the worde was true, but the time appointed was long, and he vnderstood the thing, and had vnderstanding of the vision.
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 At the same time I Daniel was in heauines for three weekes of dayes.
Tamin’ izany andro izany izaho Daniela dia nisaona roatokom-bolana mipaka.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint my selfe at all, till three weekes of dayes were fulfilled.
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 And in the foure and twentieth day of the first moneth, as I was by the side of that great riuer, euen Hiddekel,
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana voalohany, raha teo amoron’ ny ony lehibe aho (Hidekela izany),
5 And I lift vp mine eyes, and looked, and beholde, there was a man clothed in linnen, whose loynes were girded with fine golde of Vphaz.
dia nanopy ny masoko aho ka nijery, ary, indro, nisy lehilahy iray nitafy rongony fotsy, ka tena volamena avy any Ofaza no nisikinany;
6 His body also was like the Chrysolite, and his face (to looke vpon) like the lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his armes and his feete were like in colour to polished brasse, and the voyce of his wordes was like the voyce 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 alone sawe the vision: for the men that were with me, sawe not the vision: but a great feare fell vpon them, so that they fled away and hid themselues.
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 Therefore I was left alone, and sawe this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my strength was turned in me into corruption, and I reteined no power.
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 heard I the voyce of his wordes: and when I heard the voyce of his wordes, I slept on my face: and my face was toward the ground.
Nefa nandre ny teniny ihany aho; ary nony nandre izany aho, dia renoky ny torimaso niankohoka tamin’ ny tany.
10 And behold, an hand touched me, which set me vp vpon my knees and vpon the palmes of mine hands.
Ary, indro, nisy tanana nanohina ka nanarina ahy handohalika sy hitehin-tanana, nefa mbola nangozohozo ihany.
11 And he sayde vnto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloued, vnderstand the wordes that I speake vnto thee, and stand in thy place: for vnto thee am I nowe sent. And when hee had sayde this worde vnto me, 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 Then sayd he vnto me, Feare not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou diddest set thine heart to vnderstand, and to humble thy selfe before thy God, thy wordes were heard, and I am come for thy wordes.
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 kingdome of Persia withstoode me one and twentie dayes: but loe, Michael one of the chiefe princes, came to helpe me, and I remained there by the Kings of Persia.
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 Nowe I am come to shewe thee what shall come to thy people in the latter dayes: for yet the vision is for many dayes.
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 spake these wordes vnto me, I set my face towarde the grounde, and helde my tongue.
Ary nony nilaza izany teny izany tamiko izy, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany aho sady tsy nahateny.
16 And beholde, one like the similitude of the sonnes of man touched my lippes: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said vnto him that stoode before me, O my Lord, by the vision my sorowes are returned vpon me, and I haue reteined 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 For howe can the seruant of this my Lord talke with my Lord being such one? for as for me, straight way there remained no strength in me, neither is there 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 Then there came againe, and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Ary nisy indray nanana endrik’ olona nanendry ahy koa, dia nampahery ahy
19 And said, O man, greatly beloued, feare not: peace be vnto thee: be strong and of good courage. And when he had spoken vnto me, I was strengthened, and saide, Let my Lord speake: for thou hast 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 Then saide he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come vnto thee? but nowe will I returne to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, loe, the prince of Grecia shall come.
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 shew thee that which is decreeed in the Scripture of trueth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, 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.
