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 had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
2 Hoe t’i Daniele: Nitreako añ’ aroñaron-kaleñe, te inge nitorotositse amy riake jabajabay ty tiok’efa’ i likerañey.
Daniel spoke and said, “I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke out on the great sea.
3 Le niakatse amy riakey ty biby ra’elahy efatse, tsy nifanahake.
Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one 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. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet as a man. 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.
“Behold, there was another animal, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. They said this to it: ‘Arise! Devour 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, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had four heads; and dominion 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 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there was a fourth animal, awesome, powerful, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the animals that were before it. 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 considered the horns, and behold, there came up amongst them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogantly.
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 watched until thrones were placed, and one who was Ancient of Days sat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, 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 fiery stream issued and came out from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgement was set. The books were opened.
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.
“I watched at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burnt with fire.
12 Nafahañe amo biby ila’eo ty lili’ iareo, f’ie tinovoñ’ andro naho sa hivelomañe.
As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a 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 the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought 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.
Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be destroyed.
15 Nihohokòhok’ an-troke ao, izaho Daniele vaho nañembañ’ ahy o aroñaron-dohakoo.
“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visions of my head troubled 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 stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. “So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17 Fifeheañe efatse i biby jabajaba efatse hitroatse boak’an-tane atoy rey.
‘These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who will arise out of 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 receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever 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 I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its 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 concerning the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
21 Nitolom-pisamba iraho le nialy amo noro’eo i tsifay naho nahagioke
I saw, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against 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.
until the ancient of days came, and judgement was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed 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.
“So he said, ‘The fourth animal will be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will tread it down and break it in pieces.
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.
As for the ten horns, ten kings will arise out of this kingdom. Another will arise after them; and he will be different from the former, and he 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.
He will speak words against the Most High, and will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will plan to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand until 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 judgement will be set, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
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.
The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will serve and obey him.’
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 matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”
