Daniela 7
1 Amy taom-baloha’ i Belsatsare mpanjaka’ i Baveley, nahaoniñe nofy naho aroñaroñe añ’ambone’e, am-pandrea’e ao t’i Daniele; sinoki’e i nofiy vaho mitalily o renen-tsara’eo.
In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream, and visions came into his head on his bed: then he put the dream in writing.
2 Hoe t’i Daniele: Nitreako añ’ aroñaron-kaleñe, te inge nitorotositse amy riake jabajabay ty tiok’efa’ i likerañey.
I had a vision by night, and saw the four winds of heaven violently moving the great sea.
3 Le niakatse amy riakey ty biby ra’elahy efatse, tsy nifanahake.
And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.
4 Hoe liona reketse elam-bantio ty valoha’e; nañente iraho ampara’ te nonorañe o ela’eo, naho nongaheñe an-tane eo, naho nampijohañañe an-tombo’e hoe ondaty vaho tinolotse fo’ondaty.
The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings; while I was watching its wings were pulled off, and it was lifted up from the earth and placed on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 Indroañe ty biby faharoe hoe dobe, nivoalatse ami’ty ila’e raike, le tam-bava’e ao, tañivo’ o nife’eo ty pake telo; vaho hoe ty tsinara ama’e: Miongaha, mampibotseha nofotse tsifotofoto.
And I saw another beast, like a bear, and it was lifted up on one side, and three side-bones were in its mouth, between its teeth: and they said to it, Up! take much flesh.
6 Modo izay le nahatrea raike ka, hoe nemare, ninday elam-boroñe efatse an-dambosi’e eo; efatse ka ty loha’ i bibiy, vaho nimean-dily.
After this I saw another beast, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings like those of a bird; and the beast had four heads, and the power of a ruler was given to it.
7 Ie añe, le nitreako añ’ aroñaron-kaleñe te inge ty biby fahefatse mampangebahebake naho mampirevendreveñe naho loho maozatse; ama’ nife viñe jabajaba, mampibotseke, mampipozake vaho mandialia ty sisa o tombo’eo; miambak’ amo biby taoloo re, ie aman-tsifa folo.
After this, in my vision of the night, I saw a fourth beast, a thing causing fear and very troubling, full of power and very strong; and it had great iron teeth: it took its food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping down the rest with its feet: it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.
8 Hinaraharako o tsifa’eo, le hehe te nipotitsik’ añivo’ o ila’eo ty tsifa kedekede, le nombotañe añatrefa’e eo ty tsifa’e telo teo; le hehek’ ami’ty tsifa toy ty maso manahake ty fihaino’ ondaty, naho vava mivolam-pirengetañe.
I was watching the horns with care, and I saw another coming up among them, a little one, before which three of the first horns were pulled up by the roots: and there were eyes like a man's eyes in this horn, and a mouth saying great things.
9 Nañente iraho ampara’ te nampivotrahañe fiambesatse, naho niambesatse i Haehaey, foty matsatsaoke hoe volovaso o saro’eo vaho hoe volon’ añondry ki’e o maroin’añambone’eo; mirebareba lel’afo i fiambesa’ey, afo misolebatse o larô’eo.
I went on looking till the seats of kings were placed, and one like a very old man took his seat: his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like clean wool; his seat was flames of fire and its wheels burning fire.
10 Mikararàke boak’ ama’e ty oñe afo; arivo añ’arivo’e ty niatrak’ aze, ale añ’ale’e ty nijohañe añatrefa’e; najadoñe i zakay vaho sinokake o bokeo.
A stream of fire was flowing and coming out from before him: a thousand thousands were his servants, and ten thousand times ten thousand were in their places before him: the judge was seated and the books were open.
11 Nisamba avao iraho, ty amy feo-pivolam-pirengevohañe nivolàñe’ i tsifaiy; nañente ampara’ te vinono i bibiy naho niantantiritse i sandri’ey vaho natolotse ho sodorañe añ’afo.
Then I saw — because of the voice of the great words which the horn said — I saw till the beast was put to death, and its body was given to destruction, and the beast was given to the burning of fire.
12 Nafahañe amo biby ila’eo ty lili’ iareo, f’ie tinovoñ’ andro naho sa hivelomañe.
As for the rest of the beasts, their authority was taken away: but they let them go on living for a measure of time.
13 Nitolom-pañente añ’ aroñaron-kalen-draho ampara’ te indroañ’ an-drahon-dikerañe ty nimb’eo manahake ty Ana’ondaty, Nimb’amy Haehaey, vaho nampañatrefeñe ama’e.
I saw in visions of the night, and there was coming with the clouds of heaven one like a man, and he came to the one who was very old, and they took him near before him.
14 Le nitoloran-dily naho asiñe vaho ty fifeheañe. Hitoroña’ ze kila ondaty, fifeheañe naho fameleke. Fandiliañe nainai’e tsy ho modo i fandilia’ey; vaho tsy mbia harotsake i fifehea’ey.
And to him was given authority and glory and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages were his servants: his authority is an eternal authority which will not come to an end, and his kingdom is one which will not come to destruction.
15 Nihohokòhok’ an-troke ao, izaho Daniele vaho nañembañ’ ahy o aroñaron-dohakoo.
As for me, Daniel, my spirit was pained because of this, and the visions of my head were troubling me.
16 Niharineako ty raike amo nijohajohañeo vaho nañontaneako ty dika tò i hoe zay iaby. Aa le nitaroñe’e naho nirazañe’e amako.
I came near to one of those who were waiting there, questioning him about what all this was. And he said to me that he would make clear to me the sense of these things.
17 Fifeheañe efatse i biby jabajaba efatse hitroatse boak’an-tane atoy rey.
These great beasts are four kings who will be cut off from the earth.
18 Fe ho rambese’ o noro’ i Abo Tiañeio i fifeheañey vaho ho fanaña’ iareo nainai’e, toe an-tsa-an-tsa i fifeheañey.
But the saints of the Most High will take the kingdom, and it will be theirs for ever, even for ever and ever.
19 Ie amy zay te ho nahafohiñe ty hatò’ i biby fahefatsey iraho, i niambak’ amy ila’e iaby reiy. Nampirevendreveñe; viñe o nife’eo naho torisìke o hoho’eo. Nabotse’e naho dinemo’e vaho linialia’ ty tombo’e ze nisisa;
Then it was my desire to have certain knowledge about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, a cause of great fear, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who took his food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping on the rest with his feet;
20 naho o tsifa folo an-doha’eo naho i tsifa nipotìtse vaho nampihintsañe i telo ila’e reiy, i nanañe maso naho vava hivolaña’e raha mahasintoñey, i hoe zoke’ i ila’e reiy te henteañe.
And about the ten horns on his head and the other which came up, causing the fall of three; that horn which had eyes, and a mouth saying great things, which seemed to be greater than the other horns.
21 Nitolom-pisamba iraho le nialy amo noro’eo i tsifay naho nahagioke
And I saw how that horn made war on the saints and overcame them,
22 ampara’ te niavy i Haehaey, vaho nimean-to o noro’ i Andindimoneñeio. Totsak’ amy zao ty sa’ nampanañañe o noro’eo i fifeheañey.
Till he came, who was very old, and the decision was made and the authority was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints took the kingdom.
23 Inao ty talili’e: Ho fifeheañe fah’efatse an-tane atoy i biby fahefatsey; hiambak’ amo fifeheañe iabio, fa fonga habotse’e ty tane toy, le ho lialia’e, vaho ho demohe’e.
This is what he said: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom which will come on earth, different from all the kingdoms, and it will overcome all the earth, crushing it down and smashing it.
24 Mpanjaka folo ty hitroatse amy tsifa folo rey; eo ka ty hitroatse hanonjohy iereo, naho hiambak’ amo taoloo vaho hafotsa’e ty mpanjaka telo.
And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will come to power; and after them another will come up: he will be different from the first ones and will put down three kings.
25 Hiteratera i Andindimoneñey re, naho ho mokore’e o noro’ i Abo Tiañeo vaho hikinia hañova sa naho lily, vaho hatolotse am-pità’e iereo handritse ty sa naho o sa-o vaho ty vakin-tsa.
And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law; and the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time.
26 Fe hajadoñe ty zaka, le hasintak’ ama’e ty lili’e, vaho ho vata’e rotsaheñe ho mongoreñe kitro katroke.
But the judge will be seated, and they will put an end to his authority, to overcome it and send complete destruction on it.
27 Hatolotse am’ondati’ noro’ i Andindimoneñeio i fifeheañey naho ty lily naho ty enge’ ze hene fifeheañe ambanen-dikerañe. Ho nainai’e ty fifehea’iareo; songa hitoroñe naho hivohotse am’iareo ze kila fifelehañe.
And the kingdom and the authority and the power of the kingdoms under all the heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all powers will be his servants and do his pleasure.
28 Nigadoñe eo i fandrazañañey, le nirevendreveñe am-pitsakoreako ao, izaho, Daniele, naho nikofoty ty vintako, fe nifaharako an-trok’ ao i entañe zay.
Here is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, I was greatly troubled by my thoughts, and the colour went from my face: but I kept the thing in my heart.
