< Daniel 7 >
1 [Previously, ] during the first year that Belshazzar was the king of Babylonia, I had a dream and a vision one night as I lay on my bed. [The next morning] I wrote down what I had dreamed. This is what I wrote:
Hagi Belsasa'ma agafa huno Babiloni kinima efore'ma huno mania kafufina, Danieli'a mago zupa sipa'are mase'neno ava'nagnaza keteno amanage huno avona krente'ne.
2 I, Daniel, had a vision last night. In the vision I saw that strong winds were blowing from all four directions, stirring up [the water in] the ocean.
Nagra Danieli'na kenage'ma mase'nena ava'nagna zama koana, ama mopafina maka asoparegatira zaho eazamo ra hagerina emeri kranto kranto hu'ne.
3 Then [I saw] four beasts coming out of the ocean. All four of them were different.
Anama hutege'na koana, hagerimpintira 4'a tusizankna ruzahu ruzahu afi'zaga atiramiza e'naze.
4 The first one resembled a lion, but it had wings like an eagle has. But as I watched, something tore off its wings {its wings were pulled off}. The beast was left there, standing on its two hind/rear legs, like a human being stands. And it was given a mind like humans have.
Kotama atirami'nea afi zagamo'a laionigna higeno, tumpamofoma hiaza huno ageko'na hunte'ne. Anante negoge'za ana afi'zagamofo ageko'na eri ampukasi atre'naze. Anama hute'za atrazageno'a vahe'mo'ma hiaza huno, tare agiareti mopare reno oti'ne. Hagi ana afi'zagamofona vahe antahintahi ami'ne.
5 The second beast resembled a bear. It was crouching, and it held between its teeth three ribs [from another animal that it had killed and eaten]. Someone said to it {It was told}, “Stand up and eat as much meat [as you want]!”
Anante nampa 2 afi'zagama koana beagna hu'neankino, agia mopafi reno oti'nege'na kogeno, mago zagamofona 3'a asoza zaferina agipi haninkofi'ne. Anante antahugeno mago vahe'mofo agerumo'a asamino, Otio! Otinka nama'a vahe'mofo avufgama nenaku'ma hanunka no hu'ne.
6 Then I saw in front of me the third of those beasts. It resembled a leopard, but it had four wings protruding from its back. The wings were like a bird’s wings. It had four heads. It was given the power/authority to rule [people].
Anante nampa 3 afi'zagama ke'noana lepatigna higeno, amagenafina namamofoma hiaza huno 4'a agekona huntegeno, 4'a aseni hunte'nea zaga efore hige'na ke'noe. Ana higeno ana zagamofona mikazama kegavama hu hihamu hankavea ami'ne.
7 In the vision I saw a fourth beast. It was stronger than the other beasts, and it was more terrifying. It crushed other creatures with its huge iron teeth and ate their flesh. The parts of animals that it did not grind with its teeth, it trampled [on the ground]. It was different from the other three beasts: It had ten horns [on its head].
Hagi anante kenage'ma ava'nagna zama kofina, magora nampa 4 afi zaga ke'noe. Ana zagamofona koro huga avugosa huntenegeno, hankavenentake hu'neno ainire ave hunte'neankino, ana aveteti ha'ma huntaza vahera anintrantru huno neneno zamatrea vahe'enena agianuti maka rentrantru ahe vagare'ne. Ana zagamo'a 3'a afi zagagafa zamagatereno ruzahu hu'neankino, 10ni'a pazive asenifina hunte'nege'na ke'noe.
8 While I was looking at those horns, I saw a little horn appear [on the head of that beast]. It tore out three of the other horns. This little horn had eyes like humans have, and it had a mouth [with which it spoke] very boastfully.
Hanki ana zagamofo 10ni'a pazivetamima negogeno'a, ana pazivemokizmi amu'no zamifintira ame huno mago osi pazive mareri'ne. Ana pazivemo'a ko'ma me'nea 3'a pazivetamina retagre netreno, zamagri nona eri'ne. Ana osi pazivemofona vahe avurgagna avurgarare hunte'negeno, agi'ma hunte'nefintira veganokno ke nehuno, avufga erisgahu naneke nehige'na antahi'noe.
9 [Then] while I watched, thrones were put in the places [where they belonged], and [God], the one who had been living forever, sat on one of the thrones. His clothes were as white as snow, and his hair was as white as pure/clean wool. His throne had wheels that were blazing with fire, and his throne was [also] blazing.
Ana ava'nafima koge'za kini trara eri'za e'za noma'are erinte fatgo hu'za eme nentage'na ke'noe. Anama hutazageno'a korapa'ma mani'neno, mani vava nehia Anumzamo'a tra'a erino mani'neno vahe refko huzmantenaku eme ante'ne. Kukenama hu'nea kukenamo'a efeke hampomo hiaza huno efenentake nehigeno, azokamo'a efenentake hu'ne. Hagi agrama mani'nea kini tra'mofona tevemo hagna hagna nehigeno, anama mani'nea tra'mofo wirifina tevemo akarukaru huno nerege'na ke'noe.
10 A fire was rushing out of in front of him like a stream. Many thousands [of people] (OR, [angels]) [were there] serving him, and millions [of other people] (OR, [angels]) were standing in front of him. They started (the court session/judging people), and they opened the books [in which they had written the record of all the good and bad things that people had done].
Ana nehigeno agrama mani'nefintira teve tirupinti tinkna huno varehirami varehirami huno tevemo'a e'ne. Ana nehige'za tausen tausenia agatereno rama'a vahetamimo'za agri tvaontera mani'neza agri eri'zana erinentazageno, ohampriga'a vahe krerfamo'za Agri avuga oti'naze. Anante keagafina ufreno agafa huno keaga refko hu'za higeno, avontafe tamimo'a ru vakarente vagarege'na ke'noe.
11 While I was watching, I could hear the little horn speaking very boastfully. As I [continued to] watch, the [fourth] beast was killed. Its corpse was thrown into a fire and completely burned.
Hagi ana ava'nafima koana ana osi pazivemo'a tusiza huno avufga erisga hu nanekea nehige'na ke'noe. Ana nehige'na negoge'za nampa 4 afi zaga ahe'za avufga'a tevefi kre fanane hu'naze.
12 The power/authority of the other [three] beasts was taken away from them, but they were allowed to continue to live for a while.
Hagi ana 3'a afi zaga kafamokizmia hihamu hankave zamia eri atre'neanagi, huhampri ante'nea kna'ama esigu osi'a kna zamatrege'za mani'naze.
13 While I [continued to] see the vision that night, I saw someone who resembled a human being. He was coming [closer to me], surrounded by clouds. Then he was taken to [God], the one who had been living forever.
Ana kenage'ma mago'anema ke'noa ava'nafina, vahe'mofo mofavregna ne'mo hampompi mani'neno monafintira e'ne. Ana hume eazamo korapa'ma mani'neno manivava huno ne-ea Anumzamo'ma mani'nea tavaonte egeno agrama nemanifinka avreno ufre'ne.
14 He was honored and given great authority to rule over all the nations in the world, in order that people from every people-group and every nation, people from all language groups, would worship/serve him. He will rule forever; he will never stop ruling. The kingdom that he rules will never be destroyed.
Ana huteno ragine, hankavene maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'ma kegavama hania hihamu hankavea agrike ami'neanki'za, maka ama mopafima ru zamavufagane ru zamavufagane vahe'ma mani'ne'za, ru zamageru ru zamageru'ma neraza vahe'mo'za agri kege antahigahaze. Agrama kinima manino kegavama hania kumamo'a, mevava hanigeno mago zamo'a eri haviza osugahie.
15 As for me, Daniel, I was very terrified by what I had seen in that vision, and I did not know what to think about it.
Hagi nagra Danieli'na ana ava'nama ketena tusi antri nehugeno, nagu'amo'a kna nehige'na, antahintahi hakare hu'noe.
16 I went to one of those who were standing in front of the throne of God, and I asked him to tell me what it meant. So he told me the meaning of it.
Ana hige'na Anumzamo'ma nemania kini tra'mofo tvaonte'ma mani'za vahepi mago'mofonte vu'na, ana ava'namofo agu'agesa'a eri ama hunka nasamio hu'na antahige'noe. Anama hugeno'a amanage huno eri ama huno nasami'ne.
17 [He said], “The four huge beasts represent four kingdoms/empires that will exist on the earth.
Kagrama 4'a afi zagagafama ava'nafima ke'nana zamofo agu'agesamo'a amana hu'ne, ama mopafintira 4'a hankavenentake kinia efore hugahaze.
18 But the Supreme God will give power/authority to his people [to rule], and they shall rule forever.”
Hianagi marerisa Anumzamofo avure'ma ruotage'ma hu'naza vahe'amokizmia, ana mopa zamisnige'za kegava hu vava hu'za vugahaze.
19 Then I wanted to know what the fourth beast signified—[the beast] that was different from the other three, the beast that crushed [those that it attacked] with its bronze claws, and [then] ate [their flesh] with its iron teeth, and trampled on the parts of their bodies [that it did not eat].
Hagi nampa 4 afi zagama ke'noa zamofo agu'agesa'a eri ama huno nasamisniegu hu'noe. Na'ankure agra mago'a afi zagakfa zamagatereno ruzahu hu'neankino, vahera zamazeri koro huga zaga mani'ne. Ana hu'neankino agri'ma ha'ma hunte'naku'ma nehaza vahera ainire aveteti'ene bronsire azankonuti anintrantru neheno atreama'a agareti rehapa titre'ne.
20 [I also wanted to know about] the ten horns on its head, and about the horn that appeared later, which got rid of three of the other horns. [I wanted to know what it meant that] it had eyes and a mouth with which it spoke very boastfully. [The beast that was represented by] that horn was more terrifying than the other beasts.
Anazanke hu'na ana zagamofo asenifima 10ni'a pazive'ma me'nea zamofonku'ene, 3'a pazive'ma retagare netreno'ma zamagri noma eri'nea osi pazive'mofo agu'agesa'a eri ama huno nasamisniegu hu'noe. Ana osi pazivemo'a ruzahu huno mago'a pazivera zamagatere neankino, vahe avurga huntegeno agi'enena hunte'neankino, ana agipintira ke hakarea nehuno avufga erisga hu naneke hu'ne.
21 While I was having the vision, I saw that this horn attacked God’s people and was defeating them.
Ana ava'nafima kogeno'a ana pazivemo'a Anumzamo'ma huhampri'nea vahera ha' huzmagatere'ne.
22 But then the Supreme God, the one who had been living forever, came and judged in favor of the people who belonged to him. And [I knew that] it was time for God’s people to receive authority [to rule].
Anama nehigeno'a Marerisa Anumzama korapa mani'neno mani vavama huno ne-ea Anumzamo anante eno, keaga eme refko huno agra vahe'a zamaza hu'ne. Anama hutege'za Anumzamofo vahe'mo'zama kinima mani'za maka zama kegavama hanaza knamo'a ehanati'ne.
23 [Then] the man who was standing there said [to me], “The fourth beast represents an empire that will exist on the earth; that [empire] will be different from all [other] empires. [The army of] that empire will crush/kill [people all over] the world and trample [on their bodies].
Anante amanage huno eriama huno nasami'ne, nampa 4 afi zagama ke'nana zamofo agafa'amo'a, nampa 4 hankave kuma efore hugahiankino, ruga'amokizmia zamagatereno ruzahu kna hugahiankino, maka ama mopafi vahera zamazeri haviza nehuno, agiareti zamare hapatigahie.
24 As for its ten horns, they represent ten kings who will rule that empire, [one after the other]. Then another [king] will appear. He will be different from the previous kings. He will defeat the three kings [that were represented by the three horns that were pulled out].
Hanki 10ni'a pazive'ma ke'nana zamofo agafa'amo'a, anama hankavenentake kinimo'ma kegavama hu'nesnia mopafintira 10ni'a kini vahe efore hu'za mopa kegava hugahaze. Anama hutesnageno'a, anantera mago kini efore huno mopa kegava hugahie. Hianagi 10ni'a kini vahera ru zamagtereno ruzahukna hugahiankino, 3'a kini vahera zamazeri atregahie.
25 He will revile the Supreme God, and he will oppress God’s people. He will try to change the [sacred] festivals and their [religious] laws/regulations. He will control them for three and a half years.
Ana kini ne'mo'a Marerisa Anumzamofo agia huhaviza hunenteno, Anumzamo'ma huhampari zamante'nesnia vahera zamazeri haviza hugahie. Ana nehuno mono'ma nehu'za musenkasema nehaza knane, kasegenena eri ruzahe nehuno, agrama kegavama huzmantesniana 3'a kafugi 6si'a ikamofo agu'afi kegava huzmantegahie.
26 But there will be a session/meeting of the court/judges in heaven, and that king’s authority/power will be taken away, and he will be completely destroyed.
Hianagi Anumzamo'a keagafi azeri otino refko hunenteno, maka hankave'a eri atrevaga resnigeno ru'enena otino mago zana osugahie.
27 Then all the power and the greatness of all the kingdoms on the earth will be given to the people who belong to the Supreme God. The kingdom that he rules (OR, they rule) will endure forever. And the rulers of all the nations on the earth will serve and obey him (OR, them).”
Hanki anante ama mopafi kini vahe'mo'za e'neriza hihamu hankavene, ra zamaginena Marerisa Anumzamo'a zamagripintira erimareno, Agrama huhampari zamante'nea vahe zamigahie. Agra kinia mani vava huno vugahianki'za, maka kva vahe'mo'za agri eri'zanke eneri'za agri kege antahigahaze.
28 That is [what I saw in] my vision/dream. I, Daniel, was terrified, with the result that my face became pale. But I did not tell anyone about the vision [that I had seen].
Hagi nagra Danieli'nama ke'noa ava'namofo nanekemo'a amare emente. Nagra ana ava'nama kete'na tusi koro nehu'na antahintahi hakare nehugeno, navugosamo'a rukrahe hu'ne. Hianagi ana zamofo nanekea vahera ozamasami atrogeno nagu'afi me'ne.
