Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
Tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakan’ i Belsazara mpanjaka dia nisy fahitana niseho tamiko, izaho Daniela, taorian’ ilay niseho tamiko tamin’ ny voalohany.
2 And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the castle, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the stream Ulai.
Ary nahita tamin’ ny fahitana aho, ka raha mbola nijery aho, dia, indro, tao Sosana tao amin’ ny lapan’ ny mpanjaka izay ao amin’ ny tany Elama aho; ary nahita tamin’ ny fahitana aho, ka teo amoron’ ny ony Olay aho.
3 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the stream a ram which had two horns; and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako, fa, indro, nisy ondrilahy iray nitsangana teo amoron’ ny ony, izay nanana tandroka roa; lava ireo tandroka ireo, ary ny anankiray lava noho ny anankiray, nefa ilay lavalava kokoa no niposaka taoriana.
4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
Hitako ny ondrilahy manoto miankandrefana sy mianavaratra ary mianatsimo; ary tsy nisy biby nahajanona teo anoloany, ary tsy nisy naharombaka izay mby teny an-tanany; fa nanao araka izay sitrapony izy ka tonga lehibe.
5 And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
Ary raha mbola nandinika aho, dia, indro, nisy osilahy nivoaka avy tany andrefana ka nitety ny tany rehetra, nefa tsy nikasika ny tany; ary ilay osilahy dia nanana tandroka lehibe teo anelanelan’ ny masony.
6 And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the stream, and ran at him in the fury of his power.
Ary izy nankeo amin’ ilay ondrilahy nanana tandroka roa, dia ilay efa hitako nitsangana eo amoron’ ny ony, ka nanazakazaka azy tamin’ ny fahatezeran’ ny heriny.
7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Ary hitako nanatona ho eo anilan’ ny ondrilahy izy, dia nisafoaka taminy ka namely ny ondrilahy ary nanapaka ny tandrony roa, ka tsy nahajanona teo anoloany intsony ilay ondrilahy, fa nazerany teo amin’ ny tany ka nohitsakitsahiny; ary tsy nisy nahavonjy ilay ondrilahy teny an-tànany.
8 And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up the appearance of four horns toward the four winds of heaven.
Ary dia nihahery indrindra ilay osilahy; nefa nony nahery izy, dia tapaka ilay tandrony lehibe; ary nisy efatra lehibe nipoitra nisolo iny nifanandrify tamin’ ny rivotra efatry ny lanitra.
9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous land.
Ary nisy tandroka kely nipoitra avy tamin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireny ka nihalehibe indrindra nianatsimo sy niantsinanana ary nankany amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra.
10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.
Ary nihalehibe izy ka nihatra tamin’ ireo maro be eny amin’ ny lanitra; ary nisy nazerany ho amin’ ny tany ireo maro be sy ny kintana ka nohitsakitsahiny.
11 Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Eny, nihalehibe izy ka dia niady tamin’ ny Komandin’ ireo maro be, ary nesorina taminy ny fanatitra isan’ andro, ary ny fitoerana masìna noravana.
12 And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it wrought, and prospered.
Ary nisy maro be mbamin’ ny fanatitra isan’ andro natolotra azy noho ny fahadisoana, dia nazerany ho amin’ ny tany ny fahamarinana; ary niasa izy sady nambinina.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spoke: 'How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that causes appalment, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?'
Dia nandre ny masìna anankiray niteny aho, ary nisy masìna iray koa nanao tamin’ ilay niteny hoe: Mandra-pahoviana ny fahitana mandrakariva sy ny fahotana mahatonga fandravana mba hanolorana ny fitoerana masìna sy ireo maro be ho fanitsaka?
14 And he said unto me: 'Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be victorious.'
Ary hoy izy tamiko: Taon-jato sy roa arivo andro; ary nony afaka izany, dia amin’ izay vao hodiovina ny fitoerana masìna.
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Ary nony nahita ny fahitana izaho Daniela ka nitady hahafantatra izany, dia, indro, nisy nanana tarehy tahaka ny olona nitsangana teo anatrehako.
16 And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, who called, and said: 'Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.'
Ary nandre feon’ olona tao afovoan’ i Olay aho, izay niantso ka nanao hoe: Ry Gabriela, ampahalalao ny fahitana ity lehilahy ity.
17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face; but he said unto me: 'Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.'
Ary dia nankeo amin’ ilay nitsanganako izy; ary nony tonga izy, dia raiki-tahotra aho ka nikarapoka nihohoka; nefa hoy izy tamiko: Aoka ho fantatrao, ry zanak’ olona, fa io fahitana io dia milaza ny farany.
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.
Ary raha niresaka tamiko izy, dia renoky ny torimaso teo amin’ ny tany aho; fa izy nanohina nampitsangana ahy.
19 And he said: 'Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end.
Dia hoy izy: Indro, hampahafantariko anao izay ho tonga amin’ ny fahatezerana farany; fa ho amin’ ny fotoana any am-parany izany.
20 The ram which thou sawest having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Ilay ondrilahy hitanao nanana tandroka roa dia ny mpanjakan’ i Media sy Persia.
21 And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Ary ny osilahy lava volo dia ny mpanjakan’ i Grisia; ary ny tandroka lehibe teo anelanelan’ ny masony dia ny mpanjaka voalohany.
22 And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
Ary ny amin’ ilay efa tapaka, ka nisy efatra nitsangana nandimby azy, dia hisy fanjakana efatra hitsangana avy amin’ ny jentilisa, nefa tsy mitovy hery aminy.
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems.
Ary ny hiafaran’ ny fanjakany, rehefa tanteraky ny mpanota ny asany, dia hisy mpanjaka hitsangana, izay masia-tarehy sy mahafantatra zavatra saro-pantarina.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do; and he shall destroy them that are mighty and the people of the saints.
Ary ho be ny heriny, nefa tsy amin’ ny herin’ ny tenany; ary mahagaga ny fanimbana hataony; ary hambinina izy ka hahefa ary hanimba ny mahery sy ny olo-masìna.
25 And through his cunning he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in time of security shall he destroy many; he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Ary ny fahafetseny koa no hahatanteraka ny fitaka eny an-tanany; ary izy hiavonavona am-po ka handringana ny maro amin’ izay tsy ampoiziny; ary hitsangana hanohitra ny Andrianan’ ny andriana izy, kanjo ho torotoro kosa, nefa tsy hisy tanana hamely azy tsinona.
26 And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true; but thou, shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days to come.'
Ary dia marina ny amin’ ireo andro voalaza ireo, nefa ahorony ny fahitana, fa mbola ho andro maro izany.
27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was appalled at the vision, but understood it not.
Ary izaho Daniela dia torana ka nandraiky narary andro vitsivitsy; ary nony afaka izany dia nitsangana aho ka nanao ny raharahan’ ny mpanjaka; ary ka aho ny amin’ ny fahitana, nefa tsy nisy nahafantatra izany.
