Daniela 8
1 Tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakan’ i Belsazara mpanjaka dia nisy fahitana niseho tamiko, izaho Daniela, taorian’ ilay niseho tamiko tamin’ ny voalohany.
“In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision has appeared to me—I Daniel—after that which had appeared to me at the beginning.
2 Ary nahita tamin’ ny fahitana aho, ka raha mbola nijery aho, dia, indro, tao Sosana tao amin’ ny lapan’ ny mpanjaka izay ao amin’ ny tany Elama aho; ary nahita tamin’ ny fahitana aho, ka teo amoron’ ny ony Olay aho.
And I see in a vision, and it comes to pass, in my seeing, and I [am] in Shushan the palace that [is] in Elam the province, and I see in a vision, and I have been by the stream Ulai.
3 Dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako, fa, indro, nisy ondrilahy iray nitsangana teo amoron’ ny ony, izay nanana tandroka roa; lava ireo tandroka ireo, ary ny anankiray lava noho ny anankiray, nefa ilay lavalava kokoa no niposaka taoriana.
And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain ram is standing before the stream, and it has two horns, and the two horns [are] high; and one [is] higher than the other, and the high one is coming up last.
4 Hitako ny ondrilahy manoto miankandrefana sy mianavaratra ary mianatsimo; ary tsy nisy biby nahajanona teo anoloany, ary tsy nisy naharombaka izay mby teny an-tanany; fa nanao araka izay sitrapony izy ka tonga lehibe.
I have seen the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no living creatures stand before it, and there is none delivering out of its hand, and it has done according to its pleasure, and has exerted itself.
5 Ary raha mbola nandinika aho, dia, indro, nisy osilahy nivoaka avy tany andrefana ka nitety ny tany rehetra, nefa tsy nikasika ny tany; ary ilay osilahy dia nanana tandroka lehibe teo anelanelan’ ny masony.
And I have been considering, and behold, a young male goat has come from the west, over the face of the whole earth, whom none is touching in the earth; as for the young male goat, a conspicuous horn [is] between its eyes.
6 Ary izy nankeo amin’ ilay ondrilahy nanana tandroka roa, dia ilay efa hitako nitsangana eo amoron’ ny ony, ka nanazakazaka azy tamin’ ny fahatezeran’ ny heriny.
And it comes to the ram possessing the two horns, that I had seen standing before the stream, and runs to it in the fury of its power.
7 Ary hitako nanatona ho eo anilan’ ny ondrilahy izy, dia nisafoaka taminy ka namely ny ondrilahy ary nanapaka ny tandrony roa, ka tsy nahajanona teo anoloany intsony ilay ondrilahy, fa nazerany teo amin’ ny tany ka nohitsakitsahiny; ary tsy nisy nahavonjy ilay ondrilahy teny an-tànany.
And I have seen it coming near the ram, and it becomes embittered at it, and strikes the ram, and breaks its two horns, and there has been no power in the ram to stand before it, and it casts it to the earth, and tramples it down, and there has been no deliverer to the ram out of its power.
8 Ary dia nihahery indrindra ilay osilahy; nefa nony nahery izy, dia tapaka ilay tandrony lehibe; ary nisy efatra lehibe nipoitra nisolo iny nifanandrify tamin’ ny rivotra efatry ny lanitra.
And the young male goat has exerted itself very much, and when it is strong, the great horn has been broken; and a vision of four comes up in its place, at the four winds of the heavens.
9 Ary nisy tandroka kely nipoitra avy tamin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireny ka nihalehibe indrindra nianatsimo sy niantsinanana ary nankany amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra.
And from one of them has come forth a little horn, and it exerts itself greatly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful [land];
10 Ary nihalehibe izy ka nihatra tamin’ ireo maro be eny amin’ ny lanitra; ary nisy nazerany ho amin’ ny tany ireo maro be sy ny kintana ka nohitsakitsahiny.
indeed, it exerts to the host of the heavens, and causes to fall to the earth of the host, and of the stars, and tramples them down.
11 Eny, nihalehibe izy ka dia niady tamin’ ny Komandin’ ireo maro be, ary nesorina taminy ny fanatitra isan’ andro, ary ny fitoerana masìna noravana.
And to the prince of the host it exerts itself, and the continual [sacrifice] has been taken away by it, and thrown down the base of his sanctuary.
12 Ary nisy maro be mbamin’ ny fanatitra isan’ andro natolotra azy noho ny fahadisoana, dia nazerany ho amin’ ny tany ny fahamarinana; ary niasa izy sady nambinina.
And the host is given up, with the continual [sacrifice], through transgression, and it throws down truth to the earth, and it has worked, and prospered.
13 Dia nandre ny masìna anankiray niteny aho, ary nisy masìna iray koa nanao tamin’ ilay niteny hoe: Mandra-pahoviana ny fahitana mandrakariva sy ny fahotana mahatonga fandravana mba hanolorana ny fitoerana masìna sy ireo maro be ho fanitsaka?
And I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy one says to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: Until when [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the transgression, an astonishment, to make a treading down of both sanctuary and host?
14 Ary hoy izy tamiko: Taon-jato sy roa arivo andro; ary nony afaka izany, dia amin’ izay vao hodiovina ny fitoerana masìna.
And he says to me, Until evening—morning two thousand and three hundred, then is the holy place declared right.
15 Ary nony nahita ny fahitana izaho Daniela ka nitady hahafantatra izany, dia, indro, nisy nanana tarehy tahaka ny olona nitsangana teo anatrehako.
And it comes to pass in my seeing—I, Daniel—the vision, that I require understanding, and behold, standing before me [is] as the appearance of a mighty one.
16 Ary nandre feon’ olona tao afovoan’ i Olay aho, izay niantso ka nanao hoe: Ry Gabriela, ampahalalao ny fahitana ity lehilahy ity.
And I hear a voice of man between [the banks of] Ulai, and he calls and says: Gabriel, cause this [one] to understand the appearance.
17 Ary dia nankeo amin’ ilay nitsanganako izy; ary nony tonga izy, dia raiki-tahotra aho ka nikarapoka nihohoka; nefa hoy izy tamiko: Aoka ho fantatrao, ry zanak’ olona, fa io fahitana io dia milaza ny farany.
And he comes in near my station, and at his coming in I have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he says to me: Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end [is] the vision.
18 Ary raha niresaka tamiko izy, dia renoky ny torimaso teo amin’ ny tany aho; fa izy nanohina nampitsangana ahy.
And in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth; and he comes against me, and causes me to stand on my station,
19 Dia hoy izy: Indro, hampahafantariko anao izay ho tonga amin’ ny fahatezerana farany; fa ho amin’ ny fotoana any am-parany izany.
and says: Behold, I am causing you to know that which is in the latter end of the indignation; for at the appointed time [is] the end.
20 Ilay ondrilahy hitanao nanana tandroka roa dia ny mpanjakan’ i Media sy Persia.
The ram that you have seen possessing two horns, [are] the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Ary ny osilahy lava volo dia ny mpanjakan’ i Grisia; ary ny tandroka lehibe teo anelanelan’ ny masony dia ny mpanjaka voalohany.
And the young male goat, the hairy one, [is] the king of Javan; and the great horn that [is] between its eyes is the first king;
22 Ary ny amin’ ilay efa tapaka, ka nisy efatra nitsangana nandimby azy, dia hisy fanjakana efatra hitsangana avy amin’ ny jentilisa, nefa tsy mitovy hery aminy.
and that being broken, four stand up in its place, four kingdoms stand up from the nation, and not in its power.
23 Ary ny hiafaran’ ny fanjakany, rehefa tanteraky ny mpanota ny asany, dia hisy mpanjaka hitsangana, izay masia-tarehy sy mahafantatra zavatra saro-pantarina.
And in the latter end of their kingdom, about the perfecting of the transgressors, a king stands up, fierce of face, and understanding hidden things;
24 Ary ho be ny heriny, nefa tsy amin’ ny herin’ ny tenany; ary mahagaga ny fanimbana hataony; ary hambinina izy ka hahefa ary hanimba ny mahery sy ny olo-masìna.
and his power has been mighty, and not by his own power; and he destroys wonderful things, and he has prospered, and worked, and destroyed mighty ones, and the people of the Holy Ones.
25 Ary ny fahafetseny koa no hahatanteraka ny fitaka eny an-tanany; ary izy hiavonavona am-po ka handringana ny maro amin’ izay tsy ampoiziny; ary hitsangana hanohitra ny Andrianan’ ny andriana izy, kanjo ho torotoro kosa, nefa tsy hisy tanana hamely azy tsinona.
And by his understanding he has also caused deceit to prosper in his hand, and in his heart he exerts himself, and by ease he destroys many; and he stands against the Prince of princes—and he is broken without hand.
26 Ary dia marina ny amin’ ireo andro voalaza ireo, nefa ahorony ny fahitana, fa mbola ho andro maro izany.
And the appearance of the evening and of the morning, that is told, is true; and you, hide the vision, for [it is] after many days.
27 Ary izaho Daniela dia torana ka nandraiky narary andro vitsivitsy; ary nony afaka izany dia nitsangana aho ka nanao ny raharahan’ ny mpanjaka; ary ka aho ny amin’ ny fahitana, nefa tsy nisy nahafantatra izany.
And I, Daniel, have been, indeed, I became sick [for] days, and I rise, and do the king’s work, and am astonished at the appearance, and there is none understanding.”
