< 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 hath seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then the dream he hath written, the chief of the things he hath said.
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.
Answered hath Daniel and said, 'I was seeing in my vision by night, and lo, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth to the great sea;
3 Ary nisy biby efatra lehibe samy hafa niakatra avy tamin’ ny ranomasina.
and four great beasts are coming 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 [is] like a lion, and it hath an eagle's wings. I was seeing till that its wings have been plucked, and it hath been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it hath been caused to stand, and a heart of man is 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 lo, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the same authority it hath been raised, and three ribs [are] in its mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise, consume 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 was seeing, and lo, another like a leopard, and it hath four wings of a fowl on its back, and four heads hath the beast, and dominion is 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 was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it hath iron teeth very great, it hath consumed, yea, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled; and it [is] diverse from all the beasts that [are] before it; and it hath 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 was considering about the horns, and lo, another horn, a little one, hath come up between them, and three of the first horns have been eradicated from before it, and lo, eyes as the eyes of man [are] in this horn, 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 was seeing till that thrones have been thrown down, and the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment as snow [is] white, and the hair of his head [is] as pure wool, His throne flames of fire, 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 flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before Him, a thousand thousands do serve Him, and a myriad of myriads before Him do rise up, the Judge is seated, and the books have been 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 was seeing, then, because of the voice of the great words that the horn is speaking, I was seeing till that the beast is slain, and his body hath been destroyed, and given to the burning 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.
and the rest of the beasts have caused their dominion to pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, till 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 was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, with the clouds of the heavens as a son of man was [one] coming, and unto the Ancient of Days he hath come, and before Him they have brought him near.
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 to him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion [is] a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his kingdom that which is not destroyed.
15 Izaho Daniela nalahelo tam-panahy, ary ny fahitan’ ny lohako naharaiki-tahotra ahy.
'Pierced hath been my spirit — I, Daniel — in the midst of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble 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 have drawn near unto one of those standing, and the certainty I seek from him of all this; and he hath said to me, yea, the interpretation of the things he hath caused me to know:
17 Ireo biby lehibe efatra ireo dia mpanjaka efatra izay hitsangana avy amin’ ny tany.
'These great beasts, that [are] four, [are] four kings, they rise up from the earth;
18 Nefa ny olo-masin’ ny Avo Indrindra no hahazo ny fanjakana ary hanana ny fanjakana mandrakizay alaovalo.
and receive the kingdom do the saints of the Most High, and they strengthen the kingdom unto the age, even unto the age of the ages.
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 wished for certainty concerning the fourth beast, that was diverse from them all, fearful exceedingly; its teeth of iron, and its nails of brass, it hath devoured, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled;
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 [are] in its heads, and of the other that came up, and before which three have fallen, even of that horn that hath eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose appearance [is] great above its companions.
21 Mbola nijery ihany aho, ary izany tandroka izany nanoto ny olo-masìna ka naharesy azy,
'I was seeing, and this horn is making war with the saints, and hath prevailed over 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.
till that the Ancient of Days hath come, and judgment is given to the saints of the Most High, and the time hath come, and the saints have strengthened 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 is the fourth kingdom in the earth, that is diverse from all kingdoms, and it consumeth all the earth, and treadeth it down, and breaketh it small.
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 the kingdom [are] ten kings, they rise, and another doth rise after them, and it is diverse from the former, and three kings it humbleth;
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 words as an adversary of the Most High it doth speak, and the saints of the Most High it doth wear out, and it hopeth to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand, till a time, and times, and a division of a time.
26 Fa hipetraka ny Mpitsara, ary hesorina ny fanapahany, ka horavana sy hosimbana hatramin’ ny farany izy.
'And the Judge is seated, and its dominion they cause to pass away, to cut off, and to destroy — 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 the dominion, even the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people — the saints of the Most High, His kingdom [is] a kingdom age-during, and all dominions do 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.
'Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. I, Daniel, greatly do my thoughts trouble me, and my countenance is changed on me, and the matter in my heart I have kept.
