Daniela 8
1 Ie amy taom-paha-telo’ i Belsatsare mpanjakay le nahatrea aroñaroñe nanonjohy i nitreako teoy, izaho Daniele.
In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one that had appeared to me earlier.
2 Añ’ aroñaroko ao, le nitreako t’ie an-kijoli’ i Sosane, am-paritane’ i Elame añe; tendrek’ amy aroñaroñey te añ’olo’ i saka Olaiý.
And in the vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa, in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal.
3 Nampiandraeko maso vaho nitreako te ingo ty añondrilahy nijohañe marine i sakay ey, roe ty tsifa’e, le ndra t’ie niabo, nilikoatse ty haabo’ ty raike, i tsitso’ey ty niabo t’ie nitiry.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a ram with two horns standing beside the canal. The horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one grew up later.
4 Nitreako i añondrilahiy te namango nañandrefañe o tsifa’eo, naho nañavaratse, naho nañatimo vaho tsy eo ty biby nahafiatreatre aze, vaho tsy eo ty nahafitsoak’ an-taña’e; fa nanoe’e ze nisatri’e le nitoabotoabotse.
I saw the ram charging toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against him, and there was no deliverance from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.
5 Aa ie nitsakore iraho te ingo boak’ ahandrefañe añe ty oselahy nihelañe ambone’ ty tarehe’ ty tane-bey toy naho tsy nioza tane; nanan-tsifa raike ra’elahy añivo’ o maso’eo i oselahiy.
As I was contemplating all this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes came out of the west, crossing the surface of the entire earth without touching the ground.
6 Nimb’ amy añondrilahy aman-tsifa’e roe nitreako nijohañe aolo’ i sakay eiy re, vaho nihoridaña’e an-kaozarañe miforoforo.
He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed at him with furious power.
7 Nitreako te nitotohe’e i añondrilahiy le niviñera’e naho nidasiñe’e vaho nipozahe’e i tsifa’e roe rey, le tsy nahalefe hitroatse añatrefa’e i añondrilahiy; aa le nafetsa’e an-tane vaho linialia’e, le tsy eo ty naharombak’ i añondrilahiy an-taña’e.
I saw him approach the ram in a rage against him, and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against him, and the goat threw him to the ground and trampled him, and no one could deliver the ram from his power.
8 Nitoabotoabotse amy zao i oselahiy, le ie an-dengo’ ty haozara’e ro pinozake i tsifa’e ra’elahiy; niboake nandimbe aze an-toe’e eo ty tsifa efatse niatreke i tiok’ efa’ i likerañey rey.
Thus the goat became very great, but at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off, and four prominent horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Nipotìtse ama’e ty tsifa kedekedeke; nitombo ho bey mañatimo naho maniñanañe vaho mb’ an-tane mahasinday.
From one of these horns a little horn emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful Land.
10 Nitoabotse mb’ amy valobohòn-dahin-defon-dikerañey re naho navokovoko’e mb’an-tane atoy ty ila’ i màroy naho o vasiañeo, vaho linialia’e ambane.
It grew as high as the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the earth, and trampled them.
11 Eka, nizonjoñe nahatakatse ty handigiligi’ i mpifehe’ i valobohòkey, kanao tinava’e ama’e i fisoroñañe boak’ àndroy vaho naretsa’e ambane i toe’e miavakey.
It magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host; it removed His daily sacrifice and overthrew the place of His sanctuary.
12 Fiolàñe ty nanolorañe aze i valobohòkey naho i sorom-boak’ àndroy. Nafetsa’e ambane ty havañonañe naho nanoe’e ze nisatri’e vaho niraorao.
And in the rebellion, the host and the daily sacrifice were given over to the horn, and it flung truth to the ground and prospered in whatever it did.
13 Le tsinanoko te nitsara t’i Masiñe. Hoe ka ty Masiñe raike amy nitsaray, Ampara’ te ombia o aroñaroñeñeo: i sorom-boak’ àndroy, i fiolàñe mandrotsakey, ty hanolorañe i toetse miavakey naho i valobohòke ho lialiàm-pandiay?
Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long until the fulfillment of the vision of the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host to be trampled?”
14 Le hoe re tamako, Ampara’ te modo ty hariva naho ty maraindray ro-arivo-tsi-telon-jato, izay vaho heferañe i toetse miavakey.
He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be properly restored.”
15 Ie fa niaroñaron-draho, Daniele naho nimaneako rendreke, le nizoeko nijohañe aoloko eo ty amam-binta’ ondaty.
While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.
16 Tsinanoko t’indaty añivo’ i Olay nikoike ty hoe: Ry Gabriele, ampandrendreho ondaty toañe i aroñaroñey.
And I heard the voice of a man calling from between the banks of the Ulai: “Gabriel, explain the vision to this man.”
17 Nitotoke mb’amy fijohañako mb’ eo re, le ie niharine, niriatsandry iraho nibabok’ an-tareheko. Aa hoe re tamako, O ana’ ondatio, maharendreha te an-tsa honka’e i aroñaroñey.
As he came near to where I stood, I was terrified and fell facedown. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”
18 Ie nisaontsie’e le nilañake ty roro an-tane an-tareheko le nedrè’e vaho nampitroare’e.
While he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me, helped me to my feet,
19 Hoe re, Ho taroñeko ama’o ty hifetsak’ amo andro honkan-katorifihañeo; ie toe ho amy sa honka’ey.
and said, “Behold, I will make known to you what will happen in the latter time of wrath, because it concerns the appointed time of the end.
20 I añondrilahy nioni’o aman-tsifa’e roey le ty mpanjaka’ i Madaý naho i Parase.
The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.
21 I dromatsey le ty mpanjaka’ Iavàne; ty tsifa’e ra’elahy añivo’ o maso’eo ty mpanjaka’e valoha’e.
The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king.
22 Aa ie nipozake, le niongake handimbe aze ty efatse, avaho fifelehañe efatse ka ty hitroatse boak’ amy fifeheañey, fe tsy amy haozara’ey.
The four horns that replaced the broken one represent four kingdoms that will rise from that nation, but will not have the same power.
23 Amo andro sengaha’ i fifeheañeio, ie fa heneke o fiolao, le hampitroa-batañe ty mpanjaka an-daharam-pisenge-hery, mahafohiñe onin-tsaontsy miheotse.
In the latter part of their reign, when the rebellion has reached its full measure, an insolent king, skilled in intrigue, will come to the throne.
24 Hampaozareñe i lili’ey, fe tsy amy haozara’ey; le hahalàtsa ty fandrotsaha’e; hiraorao re, naho hanao ze satri’e, vaho ho rotsahe’e o maozatseo naho ondaty miavakeo.
His power will be great, but it will not be his own. He will cause terrible destruction and succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men along with the holy people.
25 Amy fahilala’ey le hiraorao ty famañahiañe am-pità’e ao, naho hirengevok’ an-tro’e ao naho am-pilongoañe ty handrotsaha’e ty maro; hitroatse amy Talè’ o taleoy ka re, fe hianto tsy am-pitàñe.
Through his craft and by his hand, he will cause deceit to prosper, and in his own mind he will make himself great. In a time of peace he will destroy many, and he will even stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be broken off, but not by human hands.
26 Ie i aroñaron-kariva naho maraiñey, le to i nitaroñeñe ama’oy; aa le liteo i aroñaroñey fa mbe ho amo andro maro añeo.
The vision of the evenings and the mornings that has been spoken is true. Now you must seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”
27 Nitoiran-draho Daniele naho nisilok’ andro maromaro, vaho nitroatse nitoroñe i mpanjakay. Nampañeveñe ahy i aroñaroñey, fe tsy eo ty hampalange aze.
I, Daniel, was exhausted and lay ill for days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was confounded by the vision; it was beyond understanding.
