< Daniel 2 >

1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, dreamed hath Nebuchadnezzar dreams, and his spirit doth move itself, and his sleep hath been against him;
Ie tan-taom-paharoe’ ty fifehea’ i Nebokadnetsare, le nañinofy t’i Nebokadnetsare, naho nembereñe ty arofo’e vaho nibioñe ty firota’e.
2 and the king saith to call for scribes, and for enchanters, and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they come in and stand before the king;
Aa le linili’ i mpanjakay te songa koiheñe o ambiasao naho o mpañorik’ androo vaho o nte-Kasdio, hanoro o nofi’eo amy mpanjakay. Aa ie nimbeo nijohañe añatrefa’ i mpanjakay eo,
3 and the king saith to them, 'A dream I have dreamed, and moved is my spirit to know the dream.'
le hoe i mpanjakay am’ iereo: Nañinofy iraho, vaho angareñe ty troko haharendreke i nofiy.
4 And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaean, 'O king, to the ages live, tell the dream to thy servants, and the interpretation we do shew.'
Aa le nisaontsy amy mpanjakay o nte-Kasdio an-tsaontsi’ Arame ty hoe: Ry mpanjaka, lava-ohatse; taroño amo mpitoro’oo i nofiy vaho hirazaña’ay.
5 The king hath answered and said to the Chaldeans, 'The thing from me is gone; if ye do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, pieces ye are made, and your houses are made dunghills;
Tinoi’ i mpanjakay amo nte-Kasdio ty hoe: Fa mijadoñe ty nisafiriako, naho tsy ampahafohineñ’ ahy i nofiy naho ty fandrazañaña’e, le ho tseratseraheñe nahareo vaho hanoeñe votren-deotse o akiba’ areoo.
6 and if the dream and its interpretation ye do shew, gifts, and fee, and great glory ye receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation shew ye me.'
F’ie atoro’ areo i nofiy naho i fan­drazaña’ey le handrambe tambe naho ravoravo naho asiñe ra’elahy amako; aa le atorò i nofiy naho i fan­drazaña’ey.
7 They have answered a second time, and are saying, 'Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and the interpretation we do shew.
Nanoiñe fañindroe’e iereo, ami’ty hoe: Ehe te hataro’ i mpanjakay amo mpitoro’eo i nofiy, vaho ho razañe’ay.
8 The king hath answered and said, 'Of a truth I know that time ye are gaining, because that ye have seen that the thing is gone from me,
Nanoiñe ty hoe amy zao i mpanjakay: Apotako an-katò t’ie manao jomà-lava, fa oni’ areo te nihelañe amy tiahikoy.
9 [so] that, if the dream ye do not cause me to know — one is your sentence, seeing a word lying and corrupt ye have prepared to speak before me, till that the time is changed, therefore the dream tell ye to me, then do I know that its interpretation ye do shew me.'
Aa naho tsy ampahafohineñe ahy i nofiy, le raik’ avao ty hizakàñe anahareo, amy te vata’e mañentseñe lañitse naho talily mengoke ho lañonà’ areo amako, hañovàñe i rahay; aa le taroño amako i nofiy handrendrehako hera ho razañe’ areo.
10 The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are saying, 'There is not a man on the earth who is able to shew the king's matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, hath asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean;
Le tinoi’ o nte-Kasdio amy mpanjakay, ty hoe, Leo raik’ am’ ondati’ ty tane toio tsy hahafiboak’ i raha’ i mpanjakaiy ama'e, fa mbe lia’e tsy nañontaneam-panjaka ami’ ty ambiasa ndra mpañandro ndra nte-Kasdy ndra roandria ndra mpifeleke ty manahake izay.
11 and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and others are there not that do shew it before the king, save the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.'
Toe raha tsitantane ty paia’ i mpanjakay, vaho tsy eo ty mahafanoro aze amy mpanjakay naho tsy o anjelio, ie tsy mitrao-pimo­neñe ami’ty nofotse.
12 Therefore the king hath been angry and very wroth, and hath said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;
Niviñetse amy zao i mpanjakay le niforoforo vaho linili’e te ho fonga mongoreñe ze ondaty mahihitse e Bavele ao.
13 And the sentence hath gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
Naboele i tsey zay naho ho navetrake ondaty mahilalao, vaho pinai’ iareo ka t’i Daniele naho o mpiama’eo havetrake.
14 Then Daniel hath replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who hath gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.
Nañàvohavo an-kihitse amy Ari­oke mpifehem-pigarim-panjakay t’i Daniele, ie fa nionjoñe hanjamañe ondaty mahi­lala’ i Baveleo;
15 He hath answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, 'Wherefore [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?' Then Arioch hath made the thing known to Daniel,
nisaon­tsie’e ty hoe amy Arioke mpifele’ i mpanjakay: Akore hao te taentaeñe i lili’ tsinei’ i mpanjakay? Aa le nampahafohine’ i Arioke t’i Daniele.
16 and Daniel hath gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to shew the interpretation to the king.
Nimoak’ ao amy zao t’i Daniele, nihalaly amy mpanjakay hanolora’e andro handrazaña’e amy mpanjakay.
17 Then Daniel to his house hath gone, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he hath made the thing known,
Nimb’añ’ akiba’e mb’eo amy zao t’i Daniele, nampahafohiñe i mpiama’e rey: i Kanania naho i Misaele vaho i Azarià,
18 and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret, that they destroy not Daniel and his companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
hihalalia’ iareo fiferenaiñañe amy Andrianañaharen-dikerañey ty amy raha mietakey, soa tsy ho fonga mon­goreñe miharo am’ ondaty mahilala ila’e e Baveleo t’i Daniele naho i mpiama’e rey.
19 Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret hath been revealed. Then hath Daniel blessed the God of the heavens.
Naboak’ amy Daniele añ’ aroñaron-kaleñe i nietakey vaho nan­driañe’e t’i Andrianañaharen-dikerañe.
20 Daniel hath answered and said, 'Let the name of God be blessed from age even unto age, for wisdom and might — for they are His.
Hoe t’i Daniele: Andriañeñe nainai’e donia ty tahinan’Añahare, fa Aze ty hihitse naho haozarañe;
21 And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.
Ie ty minday fañovan’andro naho sà: manitake mpifehe naho mampijadoñe mpifeleke; toroa’e hihitse ty mahihitse naho hilala o mahilalao;
22 He is revealing deep and hidden things; He hath known what [is] in darkness, and light with Him hath dwelt.
aboa’e ty miheotse naho ty mietake; arofoana’e o añ’ieñeo, vaho imoneñan-kazavàñe.
23 Thee, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might Thou hast given to me; and now, Thou hast caused me to know that which we have sought from Thee, for the king's matter Thou hast caused us to know.'
Ihe ry Andrianañaharen-droaeko, ty isolohoako naho anolorako engeñe amy te tinolo’o hihitse naho haozarañe, le nitoroa’o henaneo i nihalalia’ay, ami’ty naboa’o ama’ay ty enta’ i mpanjakay.
24 Therefore Daniel hath gone up unto Arioch, whom the king hath appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he hath gone, and thus hath said to him, 'The wise men of Babylon thou dost not destroy, bring me up before the king, and the interpretation to the king I do shew.'
Ie amy zao, nimb’amy Arioke, i nafanto’ i mpanjakay hamono o mahihitse e Baveleoy mb’eo t’i Daniele nanao ty hoe: Ko zamaneñe o mahihi’ i Baveleo; aseseo amy mpanjakay iraho, hanoroako aze i fandrazañañey.
25 Then Arioch in haste hath brought up Daniel before the king, and thus hath said to him — 'I have found a man of the sons of the Removed of Judah, who the interpretation to the king doth make known.'
Aa le nendese’ i Arioke mb’añatrefa’ i mpanjakay mb’eo amy zao t’i Daniele le nanoa’e ty hoe: fa nahatrea ondaty amo mpirohi’ Iehodào iraho ze hampahafohiñe i mpanjakay i fandrazañañey.
26 The king hath answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, 'Art thou able to cause me to know the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?'
Tinoi’ i mpanjakay ty hoe amy Daniele natao Beltesatsarey: Ihe hao ty hahafandrendrek’ ahy i nofy nitreakoy naho i fandrazaña’ey?
27 Daniel hath answered before the king and said, 'The secret that the king is asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the scribes, the soothsayers, are not able to shew to the king;
Nanoiñe ty hoe aolo’ i mpanjakay t’i Daniel, Ty ipaia’ i mpanjakaiy, le tsy mahafiboak’ aze amy mpanjakay ty mahihitse ndra mpañandro ndra ambiasa ndra mpitoky;
28 but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. 'Thy dream and the visions of thy head on thy bed are these:
fe andikerañe ao t’i Andrianañahare mpampiborake raha tsitantane; ie ty nampiboak’ amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka o raha hife­tsak’ amo andro honka’eoo. Zao ty nofi’o, naho o aroñaron’ añambone’oo t’ie tam-pandreañe ao:
29 Thou, O king, thy thoughts on thy bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets hath caused thee to know that which [is] to be.
Ihe ry mpanjaka, an-tihi’o eo te nonjoneñe o ereñere’oo haharendreke ze hifetsak’ amy añey, vaho nampibentatse o hifetsakeo i Mpampiborake o tsikentañeo.
30 As to me — not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living hath this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of thy heart thou dost know.
Aa naho amako, tsy ho nahaborake i mietakey amy ze hihitse mete ho amako mandikoatse ze amo veloñe iabio, fe hatoroko amy mpanjakay i fandrazañañey hahafohina’o o ereñeren’ arofo’oo.
31 'Thou, O king, wast looking, and lo, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing over-against thee, and its appearance [is] terrible.
Nahatrea saren-draha jabajaba irehe, ry mpanjaka. Toe ra’elahy ty habei’ i sarey vaho losotse ty fireandrea’e, ie nijohañe añ’atrefa’o eo, mbore nampañeveñe i sandri’ey.
32 This image! its head [is] of good gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass;
Volamena ki’e ty loha’ i sarey, volafoty ty tratra’e naho o sira’eo; torisìke ty tro’e naho o tòha’eo;
33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.
viñe o kitso’eo vaho nizara o tombo’eo, ty ila’e viñe naho tane lietse ty ila’e.
34 Thou wast looking till that a stone hath been cut out without hands, and it hath smitten the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it hath broken them small;
Nisambae’o le nihatsafeñe tsy am-pitàñe ty vato namofoke o tomboke viñe naho lie­tseo, nampidemoke iareo.
35 then broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and carried them away hath the wind, and no place hath been found for them: and the stone that smote the image hath become a great mountain, and hath filled all the land.
Le nivolen­tsa amy zao i viñey, i lietsey, i torisìkey, i volafotiy, vaho i volamenay; manahake o kafo’e an-tane-panongañ’ asarao; nasio’ i tiokey mb’eo, le ndra loli’e tsy nitendreke ka. Le nitombo ho vohitse mitiotiotse nahalifotse ty voatse toy i vato nidoiñe amy rahaiy.
36 This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we do tell before the king.
Izay i nofiy, le ho taroñe’ay ama’o i fandrazaña’ey.
37 'Thou, O king, art a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, hath given to thee;
Mpanjakam-panjaka irehe ry mpanjaka, amy te natolon’ Añaharen-dikerañe azo, ty fifeheañe, ty haozarañe, ty hafatrarañe, vaho ty engeñe.
38 and whithersoever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the fowl of the heavens, He hath given into thy hand, and hath caused thee to rule over them all; thou [art] this head of gold.
Le natolo’e am-pità’o ze hene fimoneña’ o ana’ondatio, o biby an-kivokeo, naho o voron-dikerañeo; vaho hene nampifehe’e azo. Ihe i añambone volamenay.
39 And after thee doth rise up another kingdom lower than those, and another third kingdom of brass, that doth rule overall the earth.
Manonjohy azo, le hitroatse ka ty fifeheañe ambane’ ty azo, vaho hañorike izay ty fifeheañe fahatelo, hifeleke i hene taney i fifeheañe torisìkey.
40 And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all [things], even as iron that is breaking all these, it beateth small and breaketh.
Haozarañe manahak’ o viñeo ty fifeheañe fah’efatse; naho hambañe ami’ty viñe mampidemoke naho mamofoke i he’e rezay, ty hampidemoha’e naho ty hamofoha’e.
41 As to that which thou hast seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter's clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron [is] to be in it, because that thou hast seen the iron mixed with miry clay.
Le i nahaoniña’o o tomboke naho rambo’eoy, ty ila’e ni-liem-panao valàñe tane, ty ila’e viñe, le hizarazara i fifeheañey, fe ho ama’e ty haozara’ i viñey, ie nioni’o te nifangaro amy liem-panao valàñe-taney ty viñe.
42 As to the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle.
Le manahake te nizara ho viñe ty ila’ o rambo-tombo’eo naho lietse ty ila’e, le haozatse ty ampaha’ i fifeheañey vaho harantsañe ty ila’e.
43 Because thou hast seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering one with another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
Aa i nioni’oy, i viñe nitraoke lietsey: Hifangaro añamo tiri’ ondatio iereo, fe tsy hifampipiteke, manahake ty tsy iharoa’ ty viñe naho ty lietse.
44 'And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed — to the age, and its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age.
Ie añ’andro i mpanjaka rey, le hampi­troatse fifeheañe tsy ho mengoke nainai’e t’i Andrianañaharen-dikerañe, le tsy ho limbezam-pifokoa’ ondaty i fifeheañe zay, fe fonga ho demohe’e naho habotse’e o fifeheañeo, vaho ie ty hijadoñe nainai’e.
45 Because that thou hast seen that out of the mountain cut hath been a stone without hands, and it hath beaten small the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation stedfast.
Le ami’ty nahaoniña’o te hinatsake tsy am-pitàñe amy vohitsey ty vato nandemoke i viñey naho i torisìkey naho i lietsey naho i volafotiy vaho i vo­lamenay; ie ty nampiboahan’ Añahare ra’èlahiy amy mpanjakay ty hifetsak’ amy ze añe. Toe to i nofiy, naho vantañe i fandrazaña’ey.
46 Then hath king Nebuchadnezzar fallen on his face, and to Daniel he hath done obeisance, and present, and sweet things, he hath said to pour out to him.
Aa le nihotrake naho nibabok’ an-dahara’e naho nire-batañe añ’atrefa’ i Daniele eo t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka vaho linili’e t’ie hisoroñañe naho hañembohañe.
47 The king hath answered Daniel and said, 'Of a truth [it is] that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou hast been able to reveal this secret.'
Nanao ty hoe amy Daniele i mpanjakay; Toe Andrianañaharen’ drahare t’i Andrianañahare vaho Talèm-panjaka naho Mpampibo­rake raha mietake t’i Andrianañahare’o, kanao nabenta’e ama’o i raha mietakey.
48 Then the king hath made Daniel great, and many great gifts he hath given to him, and hath caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the perfects over all the wise men of Babylon.
Aa le nonjone’ i mpanjakay t’i Daniele naho nitolora’e ravoravo fanjaka maro vaho nanoe’e mpifehe’ i hene faritane’ i Baveley naho mpifeleke o fonga mpifehe’ o mahihi’ i Baveleoo.
49 And Daniel hath sought from the king, and he hath appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.
Nihalaly amy mpanjakay t’i Daniele, vaho najado’e ho mpamandroñe o raham-paritane’ i Baveleo t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò; le tan-dalambei’ i mpanjakay t’i Daniele.
