Daniel 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.
I Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka, ho amo kilakila’ ndaty naho fifeheañe vaho fisaontsy mpimoneñe an-tane-bey atoio; Ampitoaboreñe ama’ areo ty fañanintsiñe.
2 I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought towards me.
Tsy mete tsy aboeleko o viloñe naho raha tsitantane nanoen’ Añahare Andindimoneñey amakoo.
3 How great [are] his signs! and how mighty [are] his wonders! his kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion [is] from generation to generation.
Jabahinake o vilo’eo, naho mitozantozañe o fitoloña’e mahalatsao! Nainai’e i fifehea’ey, vaho boak’an-tsa mb’an-tsa i fifeleha’ey:
4 I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
Ie nihendre añ’akibako ao avao, izaho Nebokadnetsare, vaho niraorao añ’ anjombam-panjakako ao,
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
le nañinofy ty nampirevendreveñ’ ahy, vaho nitsobore ahy am-pandreako ao o ereñereñe naho aroñaroñe an-dohakoo.
6 Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise [men] of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
Aa le liniliko te songa hasese aoloko eo ze mahihi’ i Bavele hampiboahañe amako ty fandrazaña’ i nofiy.
7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the sooth-sayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me the interpretation of it.
Nimoak’ ao o ambiasao naho o mpañandroo naho o nte-Kasdìo naho o mpitokio vaho nataliliko am’ iereo i nofiy; fe tsy natoro’ iareo ahy i fandrazaña’ey.
8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, [saying],
Ie an-tsehanga’e añe te niatrek’ ahy t’i Daniele, i natao Beltesatsare ty añara’ey—i tahinan-draharekoy, fa ama’e ao ty Arofon’ Añahare Masiñe; le añatrefa’e eo ty nitaliliako i nofiy.
9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation of it.
Ry Beltesatsare, tale’ o mahihitseo; fa nirendreko te ama’o ao i Arofon’ Añahare Masiñey, le tsy ao ty raha mietake mikafitse ama’o; atalilio o aroñaro’ i nofy nitreakoy naho ty fandrazañañ’ azeo.
10 Thus [were] the visions of my head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its hight [was] great.
Inao o aroñaron-dohako tan-tihio: nahatrea hatae añivo’ ty tane toy, an-tiotiotse eñe i lengo’ey.
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and its hight reached to heaven, and the sight of it to the end of all the earth:
Nitombo i hataey le nihafatratse, naho nahatakatse andikerañe ey ty haabo’e, vaho pak’ añ’olo’ ty tane toy ty fahaisahañe aze.
12 Its leaves [were] fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it [was] food for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the fowls of heaven dwelt among its boughs, and all flesh was fed from it.
Fanjaka o rave’eo, niegoego o voa’eo, ama’e ao ty haneñe ho a ze kila raha; ambane an-talinjo’e ao ty nialofa’ o bibin-kivokeo naho o ra’eo ty nimoneña’ o voron-dikerañeo, le hene nifahàna’e ze atao nofotse.
13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven;
Nitreako amy aroñaron-dohako am-pandreakoy te ingo ty mpijilo miavake nizotso boak’ andikerañe añe;
14 He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts escape from under it, and the fowls from its branches.
nikoike ami’ ty hoe; Firao o hataeo, birao o ra’eo, ahintsaño o rave’eo vaho aparatsaho o voa’eo; ampisitaho boak’ ambane’e ao o bibio naho amo ra’eo o voroñeo;
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] its portion [be] with the beasts in the grass of the earth.
fe apoho an-tane eo i foto’ey naho o vaha’eo; bandio viñe naho torisìke le apoho añ’ahetse maindoñindon-kivok’ ao; le ty zonon-dikerañe ty handèñ’ aze; naho hitrao-pàhañe amo bibin-kivo’ ty tane toio;
16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.
ampiovaeñe tsy ho tro’ ondaty ty arofo’e, ho tolorañe fom-biby; vaho ampiarieñe ambone’e ty taom-pito.
17 This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
Ami’ty saontsi’ i mpijiloy ty ijadoña’ i rahay naho i zakay ty amy saontsi’ o miavakeo hahafohina’ o veloñeo te mifelek’ am-pifehea’ ondatio t’i Andindimoneñe naho tolora’e amy ze satri’e, vaho oriza’e ambone ze mirek’ am’ ondatio.
18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation of it, forasmuch as all the wise [men] of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation: but thou [art] able; for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee.
Izaho Nebokadnetsare ty nahatrea i nofy zay; aa le ihe Beltesatsare: taroño i fandrazaña’ey, fa ndra te leo raik’ amo mahihitse amy fifeheakoio tsy nahafiboak’ i fandrazaña’ey, le ihe ro mahalefe kanao ama’o ty Arofon’ Añahare Masiñe.
19 Then Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, was astonished for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation of it, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered, and said, My lord, the dream [be] to them that hate thee, and the interpretation of it to thy enemies.
Nianjiñe eo avao t’i Daniele, i natao Beltesatsare ty tahina’ey; amy te nañembetse aze ora raike i naereñère’ey. Aa le nisaontsy ama’e i mpanjakay nanao ty hoe: O Beltesatsare, ko ampañaliheñ’ azo i nofiy ndra i fandrazaña’ey. Aa le nanoiñe ami’ty hoe t’i Beltesatsare, Ry talèko, ee te ho an-drafelahi’o i nofiy, naho ho amo mpikinia azoo i fandrazaña’ey.
20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose hight reached to the heaven, and the sight of it to all the earth;
I hatae nioni’o nitombo naho nihafatratsey, ie nahatakatse andikerañe eñe ty haabo’e, hahaisaha’ ty tane toy iaby;
21 Whose leaves [were] fair, and the fruit of it abundant, and in it [was] food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of heaven had their habitation:
i aman-draveñe fanjaka naho amam-boa nirokorokoy, tama’e ty hàne’ ze he’e, nitobok’ ambane’e ao o bibin-kivokeo, naho nimoneñe amo ra’eo o voron-dikerañeo:
22 It [is] thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth to heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
Ihe ‘nio, ry mpanjaka ro nitombo nihamaozatse, le nitoabotse nahatakatse antiotiots’ eñe ty enge’o, vaho pak’ añ’olo’ ty tane toy ty fifehea’o.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] its portion [be] with the beasts of the field, till seven times shall pass over him;
Le i nioni’ i mpanjakaiy, ie nanao ty hoe ty mpijilo miavake nizotso boak’ an-dikerañe ao: Firao o hataeo le mongoro; angao an-tane ao i foto’ey naho o vaha’eo, naho bandiem-by naho torisìke amo ahetse maindoñindoñe an-kivokeo naho apoho handeñ’ aze i zonon-dikerañey ie hitraok’ anjara amo bibin-kivokeo ampara’ te niary ambone’e ty taom-pito.
24 This [is] the interpretation, O king, and this [is] the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
Inao ty famentabentarañ’ aze ry mpanjaka: Nivotrak’ amy talèko mpanjakay ty fizakà’ i Andindimoneñey;
25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou shalt know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
t’ie ho roaheñe boak’ am’ ondatio; le hitraok’ amo bibin-kivokeo ty fimoneña’o naho ho fahanañe amo ahen-kivokey manahake o añombeo, naho hampiandroeñe amy zonon-dikerañey, vaho taom-pito ty hiary ambone’o ampara’ te fohi’o te mifelek’ ambone’ ty fifehea’ ondatio t’i Andindimoneñe vaho atolo’e amy ze tea’e.
26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure to thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
Le ie nandiliañe te hengàñe an-tane ao i foto-katae’ey rekets’ o vaha’eo, le mbe ho tanañe ho azo ty fifehea’o, hahafohina’o te i Likerañey ty mifeleke.
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thy iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
Aa le iantofo o fanoroakoo, ry mpanjaka vaho apitsoho an-kavañonañe o tahi’oo, naho am-piferenaiñañe o rarakeo o hakeo’oo; izay ty mete hañalava o androm-pibodobodoa’oo.
28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
Fe nifetsak’ amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka irezay.
29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
Ie nimodo ty volañe folo-ro’ amby, naho nidraidraitse ambone’ ty anjombam-panjakàm-pifehea’ i Baveley,
30 The king spoke, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?
le hoe ty nisaontsie’ i mpanjakay: Tsy itoy hao i Bavele ra’elahy naoreko ho anjombam-pifehea’ ty haozaran-kafatrarako ho ami’ty engen-kajabahinako?
31 While the word [was] in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom hath departed from thee.
Mbe tam-palie’ i mpanjakay i saontsy zay te nivotrake boak’ an-dindimoneñe ao ty fiarañanañañe nanao ty hoe: Ry Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka, inao ty fetse ama’o fa nieng’ azo i fifeheañey,
32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling [shall be] with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou shalt know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
ie ho soireñe hienga ondatio, naho ho amo bibin-kivokeo ty fimoneña’o, le ho fahanañe ahetse manahake o añombeo, naho ho kotsae’ ty zonon-dikerañe vaho taom-pito ty hiary ambone’o ampara’ te fohi’o te mifelek’ amo fifehea’ ondatio t’i Andindimoneñe vaho tolora’e amy ze satri’e.
33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like birds' [claws].
Nihenek’ amy Nebokadnetsare amy ora zay i rahay le nasitake am’ ondatio re, naho nikama ahetse manahake o añombeo, naho nampandroe’ i zonon-dikerañey ty fañova’e ampara’ te nitiry ho volom-bantio o maroi’eo, vaho hoe hohom-boroñe o hoho’eo.
34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honored him that liveth for ever, whose dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [is] from generation to generation:
Aa ie nimodo i fets’ àndroy le izaho Nebokadnetsare ty nampiandra maso mb’ an-dikerañe ey naho nampolieñe amako ty faharendrehako naho nandriañeko t’i Abo Tiañe naho nibangoeko vaho nirengèko i Veloñe nainai’ey, Fifeheañe tsy mbian-ko modo i fifehea’ey; vaho miranga ze hene sa i fifeleha’ey;
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth [are] reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and [among] the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say to him, What doest thou?
le volilieñe ho tsy vente’e ze kila mpimone’ ty tane toy, naho hene anoe’e ze satrie’e amy lahialen-dikerañey naho amo mpimone’ ty tane-bey toio; vaho tsy eo ty hikalañe ty fità’e hanao ama’e ty hoe: Inoñ’ o anoe’oo?
36 At the same time my reason returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and brightness returned to me; and my counselors and my lords sought to me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.
Ie henane zay, nampoly amako ty hilalako, le nimpoly ami’ty havolonahem-pifeheako ao; nimpoly amako iaby ty engeko naho ty habaranjibaranji’e; nipay ahy o mpifehem-paritanekoo naho o androanavikoo; le nampoly amako ty fifeheako, vaho nampitoaboreñe amako ty engeñe.
37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works [are] truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Ie amy zao, mibango naho mañonjoñe vaho mandrenge i Mpanjakan-dikerañey, izaho Nebokadnetsare, amy te hene to o fizakà’eo le hai’e ty mampirèke o mañavelo am-pirengevohañeo.
