Daniela 10
1 Ie tan-taom-paha-telo’ i Kòrese mpanjaka’ i Parase, le nibentareñe amy Daniele natao Beltesatsare ty tsara; to i tsaray, toe hotakotake jabajaba; nioni’e i tsaray vaho nahafohiñe i aroñaroñey.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
2 Ie tañ’ andro izay, nandala telo hereñandro garagadìñe, izaho Daniele.
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
3 Tsy nihinan-kàne mafiry naho tsy nizilik’ am-bavako ao ty hena ndra divay; vaho le lia’e tsy nihoso-batañe am-para’ te niheneke i hereñandro telo do’ey.
I ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 Aa ie amy andro faha-roa-polo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-baloha’ey, le tañolo’ ty oñe jabajaba atao Kidekele iraho;
In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
5 ie naandrako o masokoo le nitreako te ingo t’indaty misikin-deny naho miè-bolamena ki’e boak’e Ofaze;
I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.
6 nanahake ty vatosoa’ i Tarsise ty sandri’e, naho hoe helatse ty lahara’e, naho hoe failo o fihaino’eo, naho hoe volon-torisìke solanto’e o fità’eo naho o fandia’eo, vaho nanahake ty firedoña’ i màroy ty fiarañanaña’e.
His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
7 Izaho Daniele avao ty nahatrea i aroñaroñey, le tsy nahaisake i aroñaroñey ondaty nindre amakoo, fa fangebahebahañe ty nivotrahañe naho nitriban-day vaho nietak’ añe.
I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
8 Le nidoñe eo avao iraho nañente i aroñaroñe ra’elahiy, vaho ni-po-kaozarañe, nikomavo ty vintako, le tsy nahatan-kafatrarañe.
So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
9 Tsinanoko ty fiarañanaña’ o tsara’eo, le izaho nitsanoñe ty fiarañanaña’ o tsara’eo ro nampilañahen-droro an-tareheko, ty pandako nitolik’ an-tane.
Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face towards the ground.
10 Nañedre ahy amy zao ty fitàñe nampihohok’ ahy añ’ongotse naho an-dela-tañañe.
Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
11 Le hoe re tamako, O Daniele, ondaty toe kokoañeo, tsendreño ty tsara hitaroñako, le mitrahàña naho mijohaña; fa nampihitrifeñe ama’o iraho. Ie nisaontsie’e i tsaray le nijagarìdiñe an-titititike avao iraho.
He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 Le hoe re amako, Ko hemban-drehe, Daniele, fa boak’ amy andro valoha’ i nanolora’o arofo hahafohiñe, naho nampisotrie’o añ’ atrefan’ Añahare ty fiai’oiy, le fa jinanjiñe o enta’oo, vaho o saontsi’oo ty nivotrahako etoañe;
Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
13 fe nanebañe ahy andro roapolo-raik’ amby ty roandria mpifehe’ i Parase; ie amy zay niheo amako mb’eo t’i Mikaele, raik’ amo mpifehe amboneo, nañolotse ahy tsy ho paiañe amo mpanjaka’ i Paraseo ka.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.
14 Pok’ etoan-draho hampahafohiñe azo ty hifetsak’ am’ ondati’oo amo andro honka’eo, fe mbe andro maro añe i niaroñaroñañey.
Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
15 Aa ie nisaontsy i tsaray amako, le nitolik’ mb’an-tane iraho vaho nijomohõñe.
When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face towards the ground and was mute.
16 Le ingo te nitsapa o soñikoo ty hambam-bintañ’ ami’ty ana’ondaty; le nanoka-bava, nanao ty hoe amy nijohañe aoloko eoy: Ry Talèko, mampioremeñe ahy i aroñaroñey vaho tsy mahatàn-kafatrarañe.
Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.
17 Fa aia ty mpitoron-Talèko t’ie hahafivolañe amy Talè? Aa izaho henane zay, le tsy aman-kery vaho tsy nahakofòke.
For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”
18 Nimb’ amako indraike indaty manahake i ana’ ondatiy, nañedre naho nañohò ahy.
Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
19 Hoe re, Ko hemban-drehe, ry toe kokoañeo, fañaintsiñe ama’o, mifalea, naho mijangaña. Ie nisaontsy amako le nihafatratse vaho nanoeko ty hoe: Ehe isaontsio ry Talèko fa nampahozare’o.
He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
20 Aa le hoe re, Fohi’o hao ty nivotrahako ama’o etoy? Amy t’ie tsy mete tsy mibalike hialy amy roandria’ i Parasey; le ie engako, ho avy ka ty roandria’ Iavane.
Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
21 Fe ho razañeko ama’o i misokitse amy boken-katòy; izaho tsy amam-pañolotse amy raha rezay, naho tsy i Mikaele roandria’oy avao.
But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.
