Daniela 7
1 Fahitana niseho tamin’ i Daniela ny amin’ ny fanjakana efatra lehibe, sy ny hitsaran’ Andriamanitra ireo. Tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Belsazara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia nanonofy Daniela sady nahita fahitana tao am-pandriany, ary nosoratany ny nofy, ka nambarany ny fotopototry ny teny.
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
2 Dia niteny Daniela ka nanao hoe: Nahita tamin’ ny fahitako tamin’ ny alina aho, fa, indreo, ny rivotra efatry ny lanitra nibosesika teny amin’ ny ranomasina lehibe.
Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
3 Ary nisy biby efatra lehibe samy hafa niakatra avy tamin’ ny ranomasina.
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
4 Ny voalohany dia toy ny liona ary nanana elatry ny voromahery; nijery aho ambara-panongotra ny elany, ary natsangana avy tamin’ ny tany izy ka najoro tamin’ ny tongony roa toy ny fijoron’ ny olona, sady natao manana fon’ olombelona izy.
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 Ary indro koa ny faharoa, biby hafa tahaka ny bera, izay nampisondrotra ny ila-tenany, sady nisy taolan-tehezana telo teo am-bavany anelanelan’ ny nifiny; ary toy izao no voalaza taminy: Mitsangàna, homàna nofo be.
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6 Ary nony afaka izany, dia nahita aho fa, indro, nisy hafa koa toy ny leoparda, izay nanana ela-borona efatra teo an-damosiny, ary io biby io nanana loha efatra, ary nomena fanapahana izy.
After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 Nony afaka izany, dia nahita tamin’ ny fahitana tamin’ ny alina aho, ary, indro ny fahefatra, biby mahatsiravina sady matanjaka sy mahery indrindra, ary nanana nify vy lehibe izy; nihinana sy nanotahota izy, ary ny sisa tsy laniny dia nohosihosen’ ny tongony; ary hafa noho ny biby rehetra teo alohany izy sady nanana tandroka folo.
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 Nodinihiko ny tandroka, ka, indro, nisy tandroka iray kely koa nipoitra teo aminy, ary novohana teo anoloan’ io ny tandroka telo tamin’ ireo taloha; ary, indro, nanana maso toy ny mason’ olona sy vava miteny zavatra mihoa-pampana izy.
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 Mbola nijery ihany aho mandra-pametraka ny seza fiandrianana, ary ny Fahagola no nipetraka teo, ny fitafiany dia fotsy toy ny fanala, ary ny volon-dohany toy ny volon’ ondry madio; ny seza fiandrianany dia lelafo, ary ny kodiany dia afo mirehitra.
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
10 Ony afo no nivoaka sy nandeha avy teo anatrehany; arivoarivo no nanompo Azy, ary alinalina no nitsangana teo anatrehany; nipetraka ny Mpitsara, ary novelarina ny boky.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11 Dia mbola nijery ihany aho noho ny feon’ ny teny mihoapampana notenenin’ ilay tandroka; eny, nijery aho ambara-pamono ny biby, ka nolevonina ny tenany, ary natao teo amin’ ny afo mirehitra izy.
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12 Ary ny amin’ ny biby, sasany, dia nesorina taminy ny fanapahany; nefa nohalavaina ihany ny andro hiainany mandra-pahalanin’ ny andro sy ny fotoana.
As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
13 Ary mbola nahita tamin’ ny fahitana tamin’ ny alina ihany aho, ary, indro, nisy toy ny zanak’ olona avy tamin’ ny rahon’ ny lanitra, ary nankeo amin’ ny Fahagola Izy, dia nampanakekeny teo anatrehany.
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 Ary nomena fanapahana sy voninahitra ary fanjakana Izy, mba hanompoan’ ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena ary ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra Azy; ny fanapahany dia fanapahana mandrakizay ka tsy ho tapaka, ary ny fanjakany tsy ho rava.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
15 Izaho Daniela nalahelo tam-panahy, ary ny fahitan’ ny lohako naharaiki-tahotra ahy.
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 Dia nanakaiky ilay anankiray tamin’ izay nitsangana teo aho ka nanontany azy ny fototr’ izany rehetra izany. Dia nambarany tamiko, ka nampahafantariny ahy ny hevitry ny zavatra.
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17 Ireo biby lehibe efatra ireo dia mpanjaka efatra izay hitsangana avy amin’ ny tany.
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18 Nefa ny olo-masin’ ny Avo Indrindra no hahazo ny fanjakana ary hanana ny fanjakana mandrakizay alaovalo.
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19 Dia naniry hahalala izay fototra marina ny amin’ ny fahefatra aho, dia ilay biby hafa noho izy rehetra sady mahatsiravina indrindra izay nanana nify vy sy hoho varahina sady nihinana sy nanotahota, ary ny sisa tsy laniny dia nohosihosen’ ny tongony;
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20 ary ny amin’ ny tandroka folo teo an-dohany sy ny anankiray koa izay nipoitra, ka nisy telo potraka teo anoloany, dia ilay tandroka nanana maso sy vava izay niteny zavatra mihoapampana, ary ny fijery azy dia lehibe noho ny namany.
And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21 Mbola nijery ihany aho, ary izany tandroka izany nanoto ny olo-masìna ka naharesy azy,
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 ambara-pihavin’ ny Fahagola, ka nomena rariny ny olo-masin’ ny Avo Indrindra; ary tonga ny fotoana nahazoan’ ny olo-masìna ny fanjakana.
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Izao no nolazainy: Ilay fahefatra amin’ ny biby dia fanjakana fahefatra etỳ ambonin’ ny tany, izay ho hafa noho ny fanjakana rehetra sady handrava ny tany rehetra ary hanosihosy sy hanorotoro azy.
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 Ary ny tandroka folo dia mpanjaka folo izay hitsangana avy amin’ izany fanjakana izany; ary hisy iray koa hitsangana manaraka azy; hafa noho ny voalohany izy ary handresy mpanjaka telo.
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 Ary hiteny hanohitra ny Avo Indrindra izy sy hampahory ny olo-masin’ ny Avo Indrindra ary hitady hanova fotoana sy lalàna; ary hatolotra eny an-tànany ireo ambara-pahatapitry ny fetr’ andro iray sy ny fetr’ andro roa ary ny antsasaky ny fetr’ andro.
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26 Fa hipetraka ny Mpitsara, ary hesorina ny fanapahany, ka horavana sy hosimbana hatramin’ ny farany izy.
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
27 Ary ny fanjakana sy ny fanapahana ary ny fahalehibiazan’ ny fanjakana eny ambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra dia homena ny olo-masin’ ny Avo Indrindra; ny fanjakany dia fanjakana mandrakizay, ary ny fanapahana rehetra dia hanompo sy hanoa Azy.
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
28 Hatramin’ izao no faran’ izany zavatra izany. Ny amiko, izaho Daniela, dia naharaiki-tahotra ahy indrindra ny eritreritro, ka nivaloarika ny tarehiko, nefa notehiriziko tao am-poko ihany izany zavatra izany.
Until now is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
