< 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 unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
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 I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the castle, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the stream Ulai.
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.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the stream a ram which had two horns; and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
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 pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
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.
And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
6 Nimb’ amy añondrilahy aman-tsifa’e roe nitreako nijohañe aolo’ i sakay eiy re, vaho nihoridaña’e an-kaozarañe miforoforo.
And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the stream, and ran at him in the fury of his 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.
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
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.
And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up the appearance of four horns toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Nipotìtse ama’e ty tsifa kedekedeke; nitombo ho bey mañatimo naho maniñanañe vaho mb’ an-tane mahasinday.
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous 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.
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon 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.
Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
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 the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it wrought, and prospered.
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 unto that certain one who spoke: 'How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that causes appalment, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?'
14 Le hoe re tamako, Ampara’ te modo ty hariva naho ty maraindray ro-arivo-tsi-telon-jato, izay vaho heferañe i toetse miavakey.
And he said unto me: 'Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be victorious.'
15 Ie fa niaroñaron-draho, Daniele naho nimaneako rendreke, le nizoeko nijohañe aoloko eo ty amam-binta’ ondaty.
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as 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 between the banks of Ulai, who called, and said: 'Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.'
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.
So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face; but he said unto me: 'Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.'
18 Ie nisaontsie’e le nilañake ty roro an-tane an-tareheko le nedrè’e vaho nampitroare’e.
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.
19 Hoe re, Ho taroñeko ama’o ty hifetsak’ amo andro honkan-katorifihañeo; ie toe ho amy sa honka’ey.
And he said: 'Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end.
20 I añondrilahy nioni’o aman-tsifa’e roey le ty mpanjaka’ i Madaý naho i Parase.
The ram which thou sawest having the two horns, they are 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.
And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that is 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.
And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his 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.
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems.
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.
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do; and he shall destroy them that are mighty and the people of the saints.
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.
And through his cunning he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in time of security shall he destroy many; he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
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.
And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true; but thou, shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days to come.'
27 Nitoiran-draho Daniele naho nisilok’ andro maromaro, vaho nitroatse nitoro­ñe i mpanjakay. Nampañeveñe ahy i aroñaroñey, fe tsy eo ty hampalange aze.
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was appalled at the vision, but understood it not.
