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 the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.
2 Tsy mete tsy aboeleko o viloñe naho raha tsitantane nanoen’ Añahare Andindimoneñey amakoo.
It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me.
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 are his signs and how mighty are his wonders. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
4 Ie nihendre añ’akibako ao avao, izaho Nebokadnetsare, vaho niraorao añ’ anjombam-panjakako ao,
I, Nebuchadnezzar, was 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.
I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
6 Aa le liniliko te songa hasese aoloko eo ze mahihi’ i Bavele hampiboahañe amako ty fandrazaña’ i nofiy.
Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
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 came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.
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.
But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, saying,
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.
"Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
10 Inao o aroñaron-dohako tan-tihio: nahatrea hatae añivo’ ty tane toy, an-tiotiotse eñe i lengo’ey.
Thus were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and look, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was 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 grew, and was strong, and its height reached to the sky, and it could be seen anywhere on earth.
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.
The leaves of it were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
13 Nitreako amy aroñaron-dohako am-pandreakoy te ingo ty mpijilo miavake nizotso boak’ andikerañe añe;
I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and look, a watcher and a holy one came down from the sky.
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 cried aloud, and said this, "Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit. Let the animals get away from under it, and the fowls from 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;
Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth.
16 ampiovaeñe tsy ho tro’ ondaty ty arofo’e, ho tolorañe fom-biby; vaho ampiarieñe ambone’e ty taom-pito.
Let his mind be changed from man's, and let an animal's mind be given to him; and let 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.
The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision is a command of the holy ones; so that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to anyone he wants, and sets up over it the lowliest of men.
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, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation. But 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 was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, Belteshazzar, "Do not let the dream, or the interpretation, trouble you." Belteshazzar answered, "My lord, the dream concerns those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries.
20 I hatae nioni’o nitombo naho nihafatratsey, ie nahatakatse andikerañe eñe ty haabo’e, hahaisaha’ ty tane toy iaby;
The tree that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the sky, and its sight to all the earth;
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:
whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky had their habitation.
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, that are grown and become strong; for your greatness is grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the most distant part 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.
Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, 'Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals of the field, 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, which is come on 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.
that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
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.
Whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be restored to you. After that you shall have known that the heavens do rule.
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 break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of your prosperity."
28 Fe nifetsak’ amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka irezay.
All this came on the king Nebuchadnezzar.
29 Ie nimodo ty volañe folo-ro’ amby, naho nidraidraitse ambone’ ty anjombam-panjakàm-pifehea’ i Baveley,
At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.
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 spoke and said, "Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?"
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 was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the sky, saying, "O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken. The kingdom has departed 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 you shall be driven from men; and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field; you shall be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he wants."
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.
The same hour was the thing fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until his hair was grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
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;
"At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever. For his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to 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?
All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing; and he does according to his will in the host of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or tell 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 the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me; and my counselors and my lords sought me out; and I was reinstated over my kingdom, and even more greatness was 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, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble."
