< Daniel 7 >
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, [and] 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 spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove 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, diverse 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 the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the 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 to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and [it had] three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: 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 beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also 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 strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it [was] diverse 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 little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of 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 the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] 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 fiery stream 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 then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld [even] till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
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 concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and 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, [one] like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came 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 people, 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 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit 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 truth of all this. So 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, [which] 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 shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
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 would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his 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 of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and [of] the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even [of] that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look [was] more stout than his 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 the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against 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; and the time came that 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 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all 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 the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, 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 [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of 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 But 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 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose 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 Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance 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.
