Daniela 2

1 Ary tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Nebokadnezara dia nanonofy Nebokadnezara, ka nitebiteby ny fanahiny, ary tsy nahita torimaso izy.

And in the seconde yeere of the raygne of Nebuchad-nezzar, Nebuchad-nezzar dreamed dreames wherewith his spirite was troubled, and his sleepe was vpon him.

2 Dia nasain’ ny mpanjaka nantsoina ny ombiasy sy ny mpisikidy sy ny mpanana ody ary ny Kaldeana hilaza amin’ ny mpanjaka ny nofiny. Dia tonga ireny ka nitsangana teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka.

Then the King commanded to call the inchanters, and the astrologians and the sorcerers, and the Caldeans for to shewe the King his dreames: so they came and stoode before the King.

3 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Nanonofy aho, ka mitebiteby ta-hahalala ny nofy ny fanahiko.

And the King sayde vnto them, I haue dreamed a dreame, and my spirite was troubled to knowe the dreame.

4 Dia niteny tamin’ ny mpanjaka amin’ ny teny Aramiana ireny Kaldeana ireny ka nanao hoe: Ry mpanjaka ô, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao, ambarao aminay mpanomponao ny nofy, dia holazainay ny heviny.

Then spake the Caldeans to the King in the Aramites language, O King, liue for euer: shewe thy seruants thy dreame, and wee shall shewe the interpretation.

5 Dia namaly ny mpanjaka ka nanao tamin’ ireny Kaldeana ireny hoe: Efa niloa-bava aho; raha tsy hampahafantarinareo ahy ny nofy sy ny heviny, dia hotetitetehina ianareo, ary ny tranonareo hatao trano fivoahana.

And the King answered and sayd to the Caldeans, The thing is gone from me. If ye will not make me vnderstande the dreame with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be drawen in pieces, and your houses shall be made a iakes.

6 Fa raha milaza ny nofy sy ny heviny kosa ianareo, dia hahazo fanomezana sy valim-pitia ary voninahitra be; koa ambarao ahy ny nofy mbamin’ ny heviny.

But if yee declare the dreame and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receyue of me gifts and rewardes, and great honour: therefore shewe me the dreame and the interpretation of it.

7 Dia namaly indray ireo ka nanao hoe: Aoka ny mpanjaka hilaza ny nofy aminay mpanompony, dia hambaranay ny heviny.

They answered againe, and sayde, Let the King shewe his seruantes the dreame, and wee will declare the interpretation thereof.

8 Fa ny mpanjaka namaly ka nanao hoe: Fantatro marimarina fa mandany andro foana ianareo, satria hitanareo fa efa niloa-bava aho.

Then the King answered, and sayd, I knowe certeinly that ye would gaine the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

9 Fa raha tsy hampahafantarinareo ahy ny nofy, dia lalàna iray monja no hitondrana anareo; fa ianareo miray tetika hilaza teny lainga sy arirarira foana eto anatrehako mandra-pahatongan’ izay andro mahamety; koa ambarao ahy ny nofy, dia ho fantatro fa mahalaza ny heviny amiko koa ianareo.

But if ye will not declare mee the dreame, there is but one iudgement for you: for ye haue prepared lying and corrupt wordes, to speake before me till the time bee changed: therefore tell me the dreame, that I may knowe, if yee can declare me the interpretation thereof.

10 Ny Kaldeana namaly teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Tsy misy olona etỳ ambonin’ ny tany mahay milaza izany nofin’ ny mpanjaka izany; fa tsy mbola nisy mpanjaka, na dia izay lehibe sy mahery aza, nila zavatra toy izany tamin’ ny ombiasy sy ny mpisikidy ary ny Kaldeana.

Then the Caldeans answered before the King, and sayde, There is no man vpon earth that can declare the Kings matter: yea, there is neither king nor prince nor lorde that asked such things at an inchanter or astrologian or Caldean.

11 Ary sarotra ny zavatra anontanian’ ny mpanjaka, ka tsy misy mahay milaza izany eo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka afa-tsy ireo andriamanitra, izay tsy manam-ponenana amin’ ny nofo.

For it is a rare thing that the King requireth, and there is none other that can declare it before the King, except the gods whose dwelling is not with flesh.

12 Dia vinitra sady tezitra indrindra ny mpanjaka noho izany, ka nasainy naringana ny olon-kendrin’ i Babylona rehetra.

For this cause the king was angrie and in great furie, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babel.

13 Ary navoaka ny didy nampamono ny olon-kendry; ary Daniela sy ny namany koa mba notadiaviny hovonoina.

And when sentence was giuen, the wise men were slayne: and they sought Daniel and his fellowes to be put to death.

14 Dia novalian’ i Daniela tamin’ ny fanahy sy ny fahendrena Arioka lehiben’ ny mpiambina ny mpanjaka, izay nivoaka hamono ny olon-kendrin’ i Babylona;

Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisedome to Arioch the Kings chiefe stewarde, which was gone foorth to put to death the wise men of Babel.

15 eny, namaly izy ka nanao tamin’ i Arioka, lehibe voatendrin’ ny mpanjaka, hoe: Nahoana no dia mafy toy izany ny teny avy amin’ ny mpanjaka? Dia nambaran’ i Arioka tamin’ i Daniela ilay teny.

Yea, he answered and sayde vnto Arioch the kings captaine, Why is the sentence so hastie from the king? Then Arioch declared the thing to Daniel.

16 Dia niditra Daniela ka nangataka tamin’ ny mpanjaka hanome andro azy, dia holazainy amin’ ny mpanjaka ny hevitry ny nofy.

So Daniel went and desired the king that he woulde giue him leasure and that he woulde shewe the king the interpretation thereof.

17 Ary Daniela nody tany an-tranony ka nanambara ilay teny tamin’ i Hanania sy Misaela ary Azaria namany,

The Daniel went to his house and shewed the matter to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah his companions,

18 mba hangatahan’ ireo famindram-po amin’ Andriamanitry ny lanitra ny amin’ izany zava-miafina izany, mba tsy haringana Daniela sy ny namany mbamin’ ny olon-kendrin’ i Babylona rehetra.

That they should beseech the God of heauen for grace in this secrete, that Daniel and his fellowes should not perish with the rest of ye wise men of Babel.

19 Dia naseho an’ i Daniela tamin’ ny fahitana amin’ ny alina izany zava-miafina izany, ka dia nisaotra an’ Andriamanitry ny lanitra Daniela.

Then was the secret reueiled vnto Daniel in a vision by night: therefore Daniel praysed the God of heauen.

20 Eny, niteny izy ka nanao hoe: Isaorana anie ny anaran’ Andriamanitra mandrakizay mandrakizay, fa Azy ny fahendrena sy ny hery.

And Daniel answered and sayde, The Name of God be praysed for euer and euer: for wisedome and strength are his,

21 Ary Izy no mandahatra ny andro sy ny fotoana; Izy no manaisotra mpanjaka sy manangana mpanjaka; Izy no manome fahendrena ho an’ ny hendry sy fahalalana ho an’ izay mazava saina.

And hee changeth the times and seasons: he taketh away kings: he setteth vp kings: he giueth wisedome vnto the wise, and vnderstanding to those that vnderstand.

22 Izy no mampiseho ny zavatra lalina sy miafina; Izy no mahalala izay ao amin’ ny maizina, ary ny mazava mitoetra ao aminy.

Hee discouereth the deepe and secrete things: he knoweth what is in darkenes, and the light dwelleth with him.

23 Hianao, ry Andriamanitry ny razako ô, no deraiko sy isaorako, satria nomenao fahendrena sy hery aho, ary ankehitriny efa nampahafantarinao ahy izay nangatahinay taminao; fa nampahafantarinao anay ilay nofin’ i ny mpanjaka.

I thanke thee and prayse thee, O thou God of my fathers, that thou hast giuen mee wisedome and strength, and hast shewed me nowe the thing that wee desired of thee: for thou hast declared vnto vs the kings matter.

24 Ary noho izany Daniela dia niditra nankao amin’ i Arioka, izay notendren’ ny mpanjaka handringana ny olon-kendrin’ i Babylona, eny, nandeha izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Aza mandringana ny olon-kendrin’ i Babylona; fa ento ho eo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka aho, dia hambarako aminy ny hevitry ny nofiny.

Therefore Daniel went vnto Arioch, whome the King had ordeyned to destroy the wise men of Babel: he went and sayde thus vnto him, Destroy not the wise men of Babel, but bring me before the King, and I will declare vnto the King the interpretation.

25 Dia nentin’ i Arioka faingana ho eo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka Daniela, ka hoy izy taminy: Nahita lehilahy isan’ ny babo avy any Joda aho, izay hilaza amin’ ny mpanjaka ny hevitry ny nofy.

Then Arioch brought Daniel before the King in all haste, and sayd thus vnto him, I haue found a man of the children of Iudah that were brought captiues, that will declare vnto the King the interpretation.

26 Ny mpanjaka namaly ka nilaza tamin’ i Daniela, izay atao hoe koa Beltesazara, hoe: Moa mahay manambara amiko ny nofy izay hitako mbamin’ ny heviny va ianao?

Then answered the King, and sayde vnto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to shew me the dreame, which I haue seene, and the interpretation thereof?

27 Dia namaly teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka Daniela nanao hoe: Ilay zava-miafina nanontanian’ ny mpanjaka dia tsy hain’ ny olon-kendry, na ny mpisikidy, na ny ombiasy, na ny mpanandro, nolazaina tamin’ ny mpanjaka;

Daniel answered in the presence of the King, and sayd, The secret which the King hath demanded, can neither the wise, the astrologians, the inchanters, nor the southsayers declare vnto the King.

28 kanefa misy Andriamanitra any an-danitra, Izay mampiseho zava-miafina ka mampahafantatra an’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka izay ho tonga any am-parany. Ny nofinao sy ny fahitan’ ny lohanao teo amin’ ny farafaranao dia izao:

But there is a God in heauen that reueileth secrets, and sheweth the King Nebuchad-nezzar what shall bee in the latter dayes. Thy dreame, and the things which thou hast seene in thine heade vpon thy bed, is this.

29 Ny aminao, ry mpanjaka ô, raha nandry ianao, dia tonga ny eritreritrao ny amin’ izay ho avy rahatrizay; ary Izay mampiseho zava-miafina dia mampahafantatra anao izay ho avy.

O King, when thou wast in thy bedde, thoughts came into thy mind, what should come to passe hereafter, and he that reueyleth secretes, telleth thee, what shall come.

30 Ary izaho aza, dia tsy noho ny fahendrena ananako mihoatra noho ny olombelona rehetra tsy akory no nampisehoana tamiko ny zava-miafina, fa ny mba hampahafantarana ny mpanjaka ilay hevitra, ka hahafantaranao ny eritreritry ny fonao.

As for me, this secret is not shewed mee for any wisedome that I haue, more then any other liuing, but onely to shewe the King the interpretation, and that thou mightest knowe the thoughts of thine heart.

31 Hianao, ry mpanjaka ô, nahita fa, indro, nisy sariolona lehibe anankiray. Izany sary izany dia lehibe sady namirapiratra tsara, nijoro teo anatrehanao izy, ary ny tarehiny dia nahatahotra.

O King, thou sawest, and beholde, there was a great image: this great image whose glory was so excellent, stood before thee, and the forme thereof was terrible.

32 Ny lohan’ izany sary izany dia volamena tsara, ny tratrany sy ny sandriny dia volafotsy, ny kibony sy ny feny dia varahina,

This images head was of fine golde, his breast and his armes of siluer, his bellie and his thighs of brasse,

33 ny ranjony dia vy, ary ny tongony dia vy sy tanimanga.

His legges of yron, and his feete were part of yron, and part of clay.

34 Nijery ianao ambara-pahanisy vato voaendaka, nefa tsy nendahan-tanana, ary namely ilay sary teo amin’ ny tongony vy sy tanimanga iny ka nahatorotoro azy.

Thou beheldest it til a stone was cut without hands, which smote the image vpon his feete, that were of yron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

35 Dia niara-torotoro ny vy sy ny tanimanga sy ny varahina sy ny volafotsy ary ny volamena ka tonga toy ny akofa eo am-pamoloana fahavaratra; ary nopaohin’ ny rivotra izy, ka tsy nisy hitoerany, ary ilay vato namely ny sary dia tonga tendrombohitra lehibe nahafeno ny tany rehetra.

Then was the yron, the clay, the brasse, the siluer and the golde broken all together, and became like the chaffe of the sommer floures, and the winde caryed them away, that no place was founde for them: and the stone that smote the image, became a great mountaine, and filled the whole earth.

36 Izany no nofy, ary holazainay eto anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka koa ny heviny.

This is the dreame, and we will declare before the King the interpretation thereof.

37 Hianao, ry mpanjaka ô, izay mpanjakan’ ny mpanjaka sady nomen’ Andriamanitry ny lanitra fanjakana sy hery sy fahaleovana ary voninahitra,

O King, thou art a king of Kings: for the God of heauen hath giuen thee a kingdome, power, and strength, and glorie.

38 ka ny zanak’ olombelona sy ny bibi-dia ary ny voro-manidina, na aiza na aiza itoerany, dia nomeny ho eo an-tananao, ary nataony ho mpanjakan’ izy rehetra ianao, dia ianao izany loha volamena izany.

And in all places where the children of men dwell, the beasts of the fielde, and the foules of the heauen hath he giuen into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler ouer them al: thou art this heade of golde.

39 Ary manarakaraka anao dia hisy fanjakana hafa hitsangana ambany noho ny anao, ary hisy fanjakana fahatelo koa izay varahina sady hanam-pahefana amin’ ny tany rehetra.

And after thee shall rise another kingdome, inferiour to thee, of siluer, and another third kingdome shalbe of brasse, which shall beare rule ouer all the earth.

40 Ary ny fanjakana fahefatra dia ho mafy toy ny vy; fa toy ny vy manorotoro sy mahamongomongo ny zavatra rehetra, ary toy ny famakivakin’ ny vy ireo rehetra ireo, dia toy izany no amakivakiany sy anorotoroany azy.

And the fourth kingdome shall be strong as yron: for as yron breaketh in pieces, and subdueth all things, and as yron bruiseth all these things, so shall it breake in pieces, and bruise all.

41 Ary satria hitanao ny tongotra sy ny rantsan-tongotra, fa ny tapany tanimangan’ ny mpanefy tanimanga, ary ny tapany vy dia ho fanjakana mizarazara izy; nefa hisy herim-by ao aminy, satria nahita vy miharo tanimanga mbola fotaka ianao.

Where as thou sawest the feete and toes, parte of potters clay, and part of yron: the kingdome shalbe deuided, but there shalbe in it of the strength of the yron, as thou sawest the yron mixt with the clay, and earth.

42 Ary toy ny rantsan-tongotra, ny tapany vy, ny tapany tanimanga, dia ho toy izany ny fanjakana, ny tapany ho mafy, ary ny tapany ho malemy.

And as the toes of the feete were parte of yron, and parte of clay, so shall the kingdome be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 Ary toy ny nahitanao ny vy miharo tanimanga mbola fotaka, dia ho toy izany no hiharoany amin’ ny taranak’ olombelona; nefa tsy hitambatra izy, dia toy ny tsi-fetezan’ ny vy miharo amin’ ny tanimanga.

And where as thou sawest yron mixt with clay and earth, they shall mingle themselues with the seede of men: but they shall not ioyne one with another, as yron can not bee mixed with clay.

44 Ary amin’ ny andron’ ireo mpanjaka ireo Andriamanitry ny lanitra dia hanorina fanjakana izay tsy ho rava mandrakizay; ary izany fanjakana izany tsy havela ho an’ olon-kafa, fa ireo fanjakana rehetra ireo dia hotorotoroiny sy holevoniny, fa izy kosa hitoetra mandrakizay.

And in the dayes of these Kings, shall the God of heauen set vp a kingdome, which shall neuer be destroyed: and this kingdome shall not be giuen to another people, but it shall breake, and destroy al these kingdomes, and it shall stand for euer.

45 Fa toy ilay nahitanao ny vato nendahana tamin’ ny tendrombohitra, nefa tsy nendahan-tanana, sy ny nanorotoroany ny vy sy ny varahina sy ny tanimanga sy ny volafotsy ary ny volamena, dia ampahafantarin’ Andriamanitra lehibe ny mpanjaka ny amin’ ny zavatra ho avy rahatrizay: marina ny nofy, ary tsy maintsy ho tò ny heviny.

Where as thou sawest, that the stone was cut of the mountaine without handes, and that it brake in pieces the yron, the brasse, the clay, the siluer, and the golde: so the great God hath shewed the King, what shall come to passe hereafter, and the dreame is true, and the interpretation thereof is sure.

46 Dia niankohoka Nebokadnezara mpanjaka ka nivavaka tamin’ i Daniela ary nampanatitra fanatitra sy hanitra ankasitrahana ho azy.

Then the King Nebuchad-nezzar fell vpon his face, and bowed himselfe vnto Daniel, and commanded that they should offer meate offrings, and sweete odours vnto him.

47 Ny mpanjaka namaly an’ i Daniela ka nanao hoe: Marina tokoa fa Andriamanitrareo dia Andriamanitry ny andriamanitra sy Tompon’ ny mpanjaka ary Mampiseho zava-miafina, ka dia nahay nampiseho izany zava-miafina izany ianao.

Also the King answered vnto Daniel, and said, I know of a trueth that your God is a God of gods, and the Lord of Kings, and the reueiler of secrets, seeing thou couldest open this secret.

48 Ary tamin’ izany ny mpanjaka dia nanandratra an’ i Daniela ho lehibe, ka nanome azy zavatra maro sady lehibe ary nanendry azy ho mpanapaka any Babylona sy ny fehiny rehetra, sy ho lehiben’ ny mpanapaka ny olon-kendrin’ i Babylona rehetra.

So the King made Daniel a great man, and gaue him many and great giftes. Hee made him gouernour ouer the whole prouince of Babel, and chiefe of the rulers, and aboue all the wise men of Babel.

49 Ary Daniela nangataka tamin’ ny mpanjaka, ary izy nanendry an’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego ho tonian’ ny raharahan’ i Babylona sy ny fehiny; ary Daniela dia teo am-bavahadin’ ny mpanjaka.

Then Daniel made request to the King, and hee set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ouer the charge of the prouince of Babel: but Daniel sate in the gate of the King.
