< Daniel 10 >

1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
Ie tan-taom-paha-telo’ i Kòrese mpanjaka’ i Parase, le nibentareñe amy Daniele natao Beltesatsare ty tsara; to i tsaray, toe hotakotake jabajaba; nioni’e i tsaray vaho nahafohiñe i aroñaroñey.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
Ie tañ’ andro izay, nandala telo hereñandro garagadìñe, izaho Daniele.
3 I ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Tsy nihinan-kàne mafiry naho tsy nizilik’ am-bavako ao ty hena ndra divay; vaho le lia’e tsy nihoso-batañe am-para’ te niheneke i hereñandro telo do’ey.
4 In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
Aa ie amy andro faha-roa-polo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-baloha’ey, le tañolo’ ty oñe jabajaba atao Kidekele iraho;
5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.
ie naandrako o masokoo le nitreako te ingo t’indaty misikin-deny naho miè-bolamena ki’e boak’e Ofaze;
6 His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
nanahake ty vatosoa’ i Tarsise ty sandri’e, naho hoe helatse ty lahara’e, naho hoe failo o fihaino’eo, naho hoe volon-torisìke solanto’e o fità’eo naho o fandia’eo, vaho nanahake ty firedoña’ i màroy ty fiarañanaña’e.
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Izaho Daniele avao ty nahatrea i aroñaroñey, le tsy nahaisake i aroñaroñey ondaty nindre amakoo, fa fangebahebahañe ty nivo­trahañe naho nitriban-day vaho nietak’ añe.
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
Le nidoñe eo avao iraho nañente i aroñaroñe ra’elahiy, vaho ni-po-kaozarañe, nikomavo ty vintako, le tsy nahatan-kafatra­rañe.
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Tsinanoko ty fiarañanaña’ o tsara’eo, le izaho nitsa­noñe ty fiarañanaña’ o tsara’eo ro nampilañahen-droro an-tareheko, ty pandako nitolik’ an-tane.
10 Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
Nañedre ahy amy zao ty fitàñe nampihohok’ ahy añ’ongotse naho an-dela-tañañe.
11 He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
Le hoe re tamako, O Daniele, ondaty toe kokoañeo, tsendreño ty tsara hitaroñako, le mitrahàña naho mijohaña; fa nampihitrifeñe ama’o iraho. Ie nisaontsie’e i tsaray le nijagarìdiñe an-titititike avao iraho.
12 Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
Le hoe re amako, Ko hemban-drehe, Daniele, fa boak’ amy andro valoha’ i nanolora’o arofo hahafohiñe, naho nampisotrie’o añ’ atrefan’ Añahare ty fiai’oiy, le fa jinanjiñe o enta’oo, vaho o saontsi’oo ty nivotrahako etoañe;
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.
fe nanebañe ahy andro roapolo-raik’ amby ty roandria mpifehe’ i Parase; ie amy zay niheo amako mb’eo t’i Mikaele, raik’ amo mpifehe amboneo, nañolotse ahy tsy ho paiañe amo mpanjaka’ i Paraseo ka.
14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
Pok’ etoan-draho hampahafohiñe azo ty hifetsak’ am’ ondati’oo amo andro honka’eo, fe mbe andro maro añe i niaroñaroñañey.
15 When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and was mute.
Aa ie nisaontsy i tsaray amako, le nitolik’ mb’an-tane iraho vaho nijomohõñe.
16 Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.
Le ingo te nitsapa o soñikoo ty hambam-bintañ’ ami’ty ana’ondaty; le nanoka-bava, nanao ty hoe amy nijohañe aoloko eoy: Ry Talèko, mampioremeñe ahy i aroñaroñey vaho tsy mahatàn-kafatrarañe.
17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”
Fa aia ty mpitoron-Talèko t’ie hahafivolañe amy Talè? Aa izaho henane zay, le tsy aman-kery vaho tsy nahakofòke.
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
Nimb’ amako indraike indaty manahake i ana’ ondatiy, nañedre naho nañohò ahy.
19 He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
Hoe re, Ko hemban-drehe, ry toe kokoañeo, fañaintsiñe ama’o, mifalea, naho mijangaña. Ie nisaontsy amako le nihafatratse vaho nanoeko ty hoe: Ehe isaontsio ry Talèko fa nampahozare’o.
20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
Aa le hoe re, Fohi’o hao ty nivotrahako ama’o etoy? Amy t’ie tsy mete tsy mibalike hialy amy roandria’ i Parasey; le ie engako, ho avy ka ty roandria’ Iavane.
21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.
Fe ho razañeko ama’o i misokitse amy boken-katòy; izaho tsy amam-pañolotse amy raha rezay, naho tsy i Mikaele roandria’oy avao.
