Daniela 4
1 I Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka, ho amo kilakila’ ndaty naho fifeheañe vaho fisaontsy mpimoneñe an-tane-bey atoio; Ampitoaboreñe ama’ areo ty fañanintsiñe.
“Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be great!
2 Tsy mete tsy aboeleko o viloñe naho raha tsitantane nanoen’ Añahare Andindimoneñey amakoo.
The signs and wonders that God Most High has done with me, it is good before me to show.
3 Jabahinake o vilo’eo, naho mitozantozañe o fitoloña’e mahalatsao! Nainai’e i fifehea’ey, vaho boak’an-tsa mb’an-tsa i fifeleha’ey:
How great His signs! And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom [is] a continuous kingdom, and His rule [is] with generation and generation.
4 Ie nihendre añ’akibako ao avao, izaho Nebokadnetsare, vaho niraorao añ’ anjombam-panjakako ao,
I, Nebuchadnezzar, have been at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
5 le nañinofy ty nampirevendreveñ’ ahy, vaho nitsobore ahy am-pandreako ao o ereñereñe naho aroñaroñe an-dohakoo.
a dream I have seen, and it makes me afraid, and the conceptions on my bed, and the visions of my head, trouble me.
6 Aa le liniliko te songa hasese aoloko eo ze mahihi’ i Bavele hampiboahañe amako ty fandrazaña’ i nofiy.
And by me a decree is made, to cause all the wise men of Babylon to come up before me, that the interpretation of the dream they may cause me to know.
7 Nimoak’ ao o ambiasao naho o mpañandroo naho o nte-Kasdìo naho o mpitokio vaho nataliliko am’ iereo i nofiy; fe tsy natoro’ iareo ahy i fandrazaña’ey.
Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me.
8 Ie an-tsehanga’e añe te niatrek’ ahy t’i Daniele, i natao Beltesatsare ty añara’ey—i tahinan-draharekoy, fa ama’e ao ty Arofon’ Añahare Masiñe; le añatrefa’e eo ty nitaliliako i nofiy.
And at last Daniel has come up before me, whose name [is] Belteshazzar—according to the name of my god—and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I have told:
9 Ry Beltesatsare, tale’ o mahihitseo; fa nirendreko te ama’o ao i Arofon’ Añahare Masiñey, le tsy ao ty raha mietake mikafitse ama’o; atalilio o aroñaro’ i nofy nitreakoy naho ty fandrazañañ’ azeo.
O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, as I have known that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in you, and no secret presses you, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation, tell.
10 Inao o aroñaron-dohako tan-tihio: nahatrea hatae añivo’ ty tane toy, an-tiotiotse eñe i lengo’ey.
As for the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height [is] great:
11 Nitombo i hataey le nihafatratse, naho nahatakatse andikerañe ey ty haabo’e, vaho pak’ añ’olo’ ty tane toy ty fahaisahañe aze.
the tree has become great, indeed, strong, and its height reaches to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the whole land;
12 Fanjaka o rave’eo, niegoego o voa’eo, ama’e ao ty haneñe ho a ze kila raha; ambane an-talinjo’e ao ty nialofa’ o bibin-kivokeo naho o ra’eo ty nimoneña’ o voron-dikerañeo, le hene nifahàna’e ze atao nofotse.
its leaves [are] beautiful, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it: under it the beast of the field takes shade, and in its boughs dwell the birds of the heavens, and of it are all flesh fed.
13 Nitreako amy aroñaron-dohako am-pandreakoy te ingo ty mpijilo miavake nizotso boak’ andikerañe añe;
I was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down.
14 nikoike ami’ ty hoe; Firao o hataeo, birao o ra’eo, ahintsaño o rave’eo vaho aparatsaho o voa’eo; ampisitaho boak’ ambane’e ao o bibio naho amo ra’eo o voroñeo;
He is calling mightily, and thus has said, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and the birds from off its branches;
15 fe apoho an-tane eo i foto’ey naho o vaha’eo; bandio viñe naho torisìke le apoho añ’ahetse maindoñindon-kivok’ ao; le ty zonon-dikerañe ty handèñ’ aze; naho hitrao-pàhañe amo bibin-kivo’ ty tane toio;
but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts [is] his portion in the herb of the earth;
16 ampiovaeñe tsy ho tro’ ondaty ty arofo’e, ho tolorañe fom-biby; vaho ampiarieñe ambone’e ty taom-pito.
his heart from man’s is changed, and the heart of a beast is given to him, and seven times pass over him;
17 Ami’ty saontsi’ i mpijiloy ty ijadoña’ i rahay naho i zakay ty amy saontsi’ o miavakeo hahafohina’ o veloñeo te mifelek’ am-pifehea’ ondatio t’i Andindimoneñe naho tolora’e amy ze satri’e, vaho oriza’e ambone ze mirek’ am’ ondatio.
by the decree of the sifters [is] the sentence, and by the saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it, and the lowest of men He raises up over it.
18 Izaho Nebokadnetsare ty nahatrea i nofy zay; aa le ihe Beltesatsare: taroño i fandrazaña’ey, fa ndra te leo raik’ amo mahihitse amy fifeheakoio tsy nahafiboak’ i fandrazaña’ey, le ihe ro mahalefe kanao ama’o ty Arofon’ Añahare Masiñe.
This dream I have seen, I King Nebuchadnezzar; and you, O Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and you [are] able, for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in you.”
19 Nianjiñe eo avao t’i Daniele, i natao Beltesatsare ty tahina’ey; amy te nañembetse aze ora raike i naereñère’ey. Aa le nisaontsy ama’e i mpanjakay nanao ty hoe: O Beltesatsare, ko ampañaliheñ’ azo i nofiy ndra i fandrazaña’ey. Aa le nanoiñe ami’ty hoe t’i Beltesatsare, Ry talèko, ee te ho an-drafelahi’o i nofiy, naho ho amo mpikinia azoo i fandrazaña’ey.
Then Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, has been astonished about one hour, and his thoughts trouble him; the king has answered and said, “O Belteshazzar, do not let the dream and its interpretation trouble you.” Belteshazzar has answered and said, “My lord, the dream—to those hating you, and its interpretation—to your enemies!
20 I hatae nioni’o nitombo naho nihafatratsey, ie nahatakatse andikerañe eñe ty haabo’e, hahaisaha’ ty tane toy iaby;
The tree that you have seen, that has become great and strong, and its height reaches to the heavens, and its vision to all the land,
21 i aman-draveñe fanjaka naho amam-boa nirokorokoy, tama’e ty hàne’ ze he’e, nitobok’ ambane’e ao o bibin-kivokeo, naho nimoneñe amo ra’eo o voron-dikerañeo:
and its leaves [are] beautiful, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it, under it the beast of the field dwells, and on its boughs the birds of the heavens sit.
22 Ihe ‘nio, ry mpanjaka ro nitombo nihamaozatse, le nitoabotse nahatakatse antiotiots’ eñe ty enge’o, vaho pak’ añ’olo’ ty tane toy ty fifehea’o.
It [is] you, O king, for you have become great and mighty, and your greatness has become great, and has reached to the heavens, and your dominion to the end of the earth;
23 Le i nioni’ i mpanjakaiy, ie nanao ty hoe ty mpijilo miavake nizotso boak’ an-dikerañe ao: Firao o hataeo le mongoro; angao an-tane ao i foto’ey naho o vaha’eo, naho bandiem-by naho torisìke amo ahetse maindoñindoñe an-kivokeo naho apoho handeñ’ aze i zonon-dikerañey ie hitraok’ anjara amo bibin-kivokeo ampara’ te niary ambone’e ty taom-pito.
and that which the king has seen—a sifter, even a holy one, coming down from the heavens, and he has said, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens it is wet, and with the beast of the field [is] his portion, until seven times pass over him.
24 Inao ty famentabentarañ’ aze ry mpanjaka: Nivotrak’ amy talèko mpanjakay ty fizakà’ i Andindimoneñey;
This [is] the interpretation, O king, and it [is] the decree of the Most High that has come against my lord the king:
25 t’ie ho roaheñe boak’ am’ ondatio; le hitraok’ amo bibin-kivokeo ty fimoneña’o naho ho fahanañe amo ahen-kivokey manahake o añombeo, naho hampiandroeñe amy zonon-dikerañey, vaho taom-pito ty hiary ambone’o ampara’ te fohi’o te mifelek’ ambone’ ty fifehea’ ondatio t’i Andindimoneñe vaho atolo’e amy ze tea’e.
and they are driving you away from men, and your dwelling is with the beast of the field, and they cause you to eat the herb as oxen, and they are wetting you by the dew of the heavens, and pass over you seven times, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it.
26 Le ie nandiliañe te hengàñe an-tane ao i foto-katae’ey rekets’ o vaha’eo, le mbe ho tanañe ho azo ty fifehea’o, hahafohina’o te i Likerañey ty mifeleke.
And that which they said—to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom abides for you, after that you know that the heavens are ruling.
27 Aa le iantofo o fanoroakoo, ry mpanjaka vaho apitsoho an-kavañonañe o tahi’oo, naho am-piferenaiñañe o rarakeo o hakeo’oo; izay ty mete hañalava o androm-pibodobodoa’oo.
Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and your sins by righteousness break off, and your perversity by pitying the poor, behold, it is a lengthening of your ease.”
28 Fe nifetsak’ amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka irezay.
All—has come on Nebuchadnezzar the king.
29 Ie nimodo ty volañe folo-ro’ amby, naho nidraidraitse ambone’ ty anjombam-panjakàm-pifehea’ i Baveley,
At the end of twelve months, on the palace of the kingdom of Babylon he has been walking;
30 le hoe ty nisaontsie’ i mpanjakay: Tsy itoy hao i Bavele ra’elahy naoreko ho anjombam-pifehea’ ty haozaran-kafatrarako ho ami’ty engen-kajabahinako?
the king has answered and said, “Is this not that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of my honor?”
31 Mbe tam-palie’ i mpanjakay i saontsy zay te nivotrake boak’ an-dindimoneñe ao ty fiarañanañañe nanao ty hoe: Ry Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka, inao ty fetse ama’o fa nieng’ azo i fifeheañey,
While the word is [in] the king’s mouth a voice from the heavens has fallen: “They are saying to you: O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom has passed from you,
32 ie ho soireñe hienga ondatio, naho ho amo bibin-kivokeo ty fimoneña’o, le ho fahanañe ahetse manahake o añombeo, naho ho kotsae’ ty zonon-dikerañe vaho taom-pito ty hiary ambone’o ampara’ te fohi’o te mifelek’ amo fifehea’ ondatio t’i Andindimoneñe vaho tolora’e amy ze satri’e.
and from men they are driving you away, and your dwelling [is] with the beast of the field, they cause you to eat the herb as oxen, and pass over you seven times, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it.”
33 Nihenek’ amy Nebokadnetsare amy ora zay i rahay le nasitake am’ ondatio re, naho nikama ahetse manahake o añombeo, naho nampandroe’ i zonon-dikerañey ty fañova’e ampara’ te nitiry ho volom-bantio o maroi’eo, vaho hoe hohom-boroñe o hoho’eo.
In that hour the thing has been fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar, and from men he is driven, and he eats the herb as oxen, and his body is wet by the dew of the heavens, until his hair has become great as eagles, and his nails as birds.
34 Aa ie nimodo i fets’ àndroy le izaho Nebokadnetsare ty nampiandra maso mb’ an-dikerañe ey naho nampolieñe amako ty faharendrehako naho nandriañeko t’i Abo Tiañe naho nibangoeko vaho nirengèko i Veloñe nainai’ey, Fifeheañe tsy mbian-ko modo i fifehea’ey; vaho miranga ze hene sa i fifeleha’ey;
“And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, have lifted up my eyes to the heavens, and my understanding returns to me, and I have blessed the Most High, and the Perpetual Living One I have praised and honored, whose dominion [is] a continuous dominion, and His kingdom with generation and generation;
35 le volilieñe ho tsy vente’e ze kila mpimone’ ty tane toy, naho hene anoe’e ze satrie’e amy lahialen-dikerañey naho amo mpimone’ ty tane-bey toio; vaho tsy eo ty hikalañe ty fità’e hanao ama’e ty hoe: Inoñ’ o anoe’oo?
and all who are dwelling on the earth are reckoned as nothing, and according to His will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that claps with his hand and says to Him, What have You done?
36 Ie henane zay, nampoly amako ty hilalako, le nimpoly ami’ty havolonahem-pifeheako ao; nimpoly amako iaby ty engeko naho ty habaranjibaranji’e; nipay ahy o mpifehem-paritanekoo naho o androanavikoo; le nampoly amako ty fifeheako, vaho nampitoaboreñe amako ty engeñe.
At that time my understanding returns to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and my brightness return to me, and to me my counselors and my great men seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant greatness has been added to me.
37 Ie amy zao, mibango naho mañonjoñe vaho mandrenge i Mpanjakan-dikerañey, izaho Nebokadnetsare, amy te hene to o fizakà’eo le hai’e ty mampirèke o mañavelo am-pirengevohañeo.
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and honoring the King of the heavens, for all His works [are] truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.”
