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 while on 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 sky broke out on the great sea.
3 Ary nisy biby efatra lehibe samy hafa niakatra avy tamin’ ny ranomasina.
Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one 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 watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet as a man. 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.
“Behold, there was another animal, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. They said this to 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 saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had 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, there was a fourth animal, awesome, powerful, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the animals that were before it. 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 horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogantly.
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 watched until thrones were placed, and one who was Ancient of Days sat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels 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 out from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set. 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 watched at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
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 for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a 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, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even 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.
Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be destroyed.
15 Izaho Daniela nalahelo tam-panahy, ary ny fahitan’ ny lohako naharaiki-tahotra ahy.
“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within 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 to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning 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 animals, which are four, are four kings, who will 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 will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever 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 desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its 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 concerning the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
21 Mbola nijery ihany aho, ary izany tandroka izany nanoto ny olo-masìna ka naharesy azy,
I saw, 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.
“So he said, ‘The fourth animal will be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will 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.
As for the ten horns, ten kings will arise out of this kingdom. Another will arise after them; and he will be different from the former, and he will put down 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.
He will speak words against the Most High, and will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will plan to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
26 Fa hipetraka ny Mpitsara, ary hesorina ny fanapahany, ka horavana sy hosimbana hatramin’ ny farany izy.
“‘But the judgment will be set, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to 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.
The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will 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.
“Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”
