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 King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
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 saw in a vision, and when I saw, I was in Shushan, in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and was by the river 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 lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram, which had two horns; and the two horns were high, and one was higher than the other; and the higher came 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 saw the ram pushing westward and northward and southward, and no beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will and became great.
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 gave heed, and behold, a he-goat came from the west, over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his 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 he came to the ram which had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran against him in the fury of his 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 saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him, and smote the ram, and broke in pieces his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and none could deliver the ram out of his hand.
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 he-goat became exceedingly great; but when he became strong the great horn was broken, and instead of it grew up four conspicuous ones toward the four winds of heaven.
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 out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great 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.
And it exalted itself even to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and stamped upon them.
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.
Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and the daily sacrifice did he take away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
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 a host was placed over the daily sacrifice with impiety, and it cast down truth to the ground, and it accomplished its purpose 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 heard a holy one speak; and another holy one said to the one that had spoken, To how long a time extendeth the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the impiety of the destroyer, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
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 said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
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 came to pass, that when I Daniel saw the vision, I sought for the meaning; and behold, there stood one before me having the appearance of a man.
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 heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
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 came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face, and he said to me, Understand, O son of man! for this vision relateth to the time of the end.
18 Ary raha niresaka tamiko izy, dia renoky ny torimaso teo amin’ ny tany aho; fa izy nanohina nampitsangana ahy.
But when he spake to me, I sank senseless upon my face to the ground; but he touched me, and lifted me up where I had stood.
19 Dia hoy izy: Indro, hampahafantariko anao izay ho tonga amin’ ny fahatezerana farany; fa ho amin’ ny fotoana any am-parany izany.
And he said, Behold, I make known to thee what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for [[the vision relateth]] to the time of the end.
20 Ilay ondrilahy hitanao nanana tandroka roa dia ny mpanjakan’ i Media sy Persia.
The ram which thou sawest, having two horns, denoteth 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 rough goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn between his 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 as that was broken, and four arose in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of the nation, but not with his 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 toward the end of their reign, when the transgressors have filled up the measure of their iniquities, a king shall arise of a fierce countenance, and cunning in artifices.
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 shall become mighty, but not by his own strength; and wonderfully will he destroy, and prosper, and accomplish his purposes, and he will destroy many, even 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 through his cunning will he cause fraud to prosper in his hand, and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in the midst of security, and against the Prince of princes will he stand up; but he shall be 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 vision of the evening and the morning, which was told thee, is true; but do thou seal up the vision, for it relates to 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 fainted, and was sick some days; then I rose up and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but no one explained it.
