Daniel 11
1 To e higa mokwongo mar Darius Ja-Median, ne achungʼ motegno mondo akonye kendo arite.)
“And so, from the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood firm, so that he might be reinforced and strengthened.
2 “Koro we anyisi fweny mabiro timore e piny Pasia: Ruodhi adek moko nobedie eka ruoth mar angʼwen nobi, ma nobed gi mwandu mathoth moloyo ruodhi mamoko duto. Bangʼ yudo duongʼ nikech mwandune, obiro thuwo ogendini gi jo-Yunani.
And now I will announce to you the truth. Behold, up to a certain point, three kings will stand in Persia, and the fourth will be exceedingly enriched in power above them all. And when he has grown strong by his resources, he will stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
3 Eka ruoth moro maratego nobi, manobed jatelo man-gi teko maduongʼ kendo notim gimoro amora mohero.
But there will rise up a strong king, and he will rule with great power, and he will do what he pleases.
4 To bangʼ biro mare, pinyruodhe nopogi matindo tindo, e migepe angʼwen. Ok nopoge ne nyithinde, kendo kata teko mane en-go motelo ok nobedgo, nikech pinyruodhe nopudh oko kendo nomi joma moko.
And when he has been firmly established, his kingdom will be shattered and will be divided towards the four winds of the heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom will be torn to pieces, even for the outsiders who have been expelled from these.
5 “Ruoth ma milambo nobed maratego, to kata kamano achiel kuom jatend jolweny mage nobed maratego moloye, kendo enolo pinyruodhe owuon gi teko maduongʼ.
And the king of the South will be reinforced, yet one of his leaders will prevail over him, and he will rule with riches, for great is his domain.
6 Bangʼ higni moko, ginibed pinjeruodhi mawinjore. Nyar ruoth mar Milambo nodhi ir ruoth mar Nyandwat mondo olos winjruok, to winjruogno ok nobedo amingʼa, kendo en bende, gi tekone, ok nosiki. E ndalono ruoth mar milambo nochiw nyare, kaachiel gi joritne ruoth kod jotichne ma nyako.
And after the end of years, they will form a federation, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to make friendship, but she will not obtain the strength of arms, neither will her offspring stand firm, and she will be handed over, along with those who brought her, her young men, and those who comforted her in these times.
7 “Ngʼat moro moa e anywolane biro wuok mondo okaw kare. Enomonj jolweny mag ruoth mar Nyandwat mi odonji nyaka e ohingane mochiel motegno kendo obiro kedo kodgi mi ologi.
And a transplant from the germination of her roots will stand up, and he will come with an army, and will enter into the province of the king of the North, and he will abuse them, and will hold it fast.
8 Obiro mayogi nyisechegi, kido molos gi chuma kod gigegi mamoko ma nengogi tek molos gi fedha gi dhahabu mi odhi kodgi nyaka Misri. Kuom higni moko enowe kedo gi ruodh Nyandwat.
And, in addition, he will carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven images, and likewise their precious vessels of gold and silver. He will prevail against the king of the North.
9 Eka ruoth mar Nyandwat nomonj bath pinyruoth mar Milambo, to noloye moriembe nyaka e pinye owuon.
And the king of the South will enter into the kingdom, and will return to his own land.
10 Yawuote noikre ne lweny kendo ginichok oganda maduongʼ mar jolweny, ma noywe kamoro amora ma gichomo mana ka ohula ma ok gengʼre, kendo giniked mi gichop nyaka ei ohinga mare.
But his sons will be challenged, and they will assemble a multitude of very many forces. And he will arrive rushing and overflowing. And he will be turned back, and he will be enraged, and he will join the battle in his redness.
11 “Eka ruoth mar milambo noyar ne lweny mondo oked gi ruoth mar nyandwat ma bende nigi oganda maduongʼ mar jolweny, to giko en ni bende noloye.
And the king of the South, having being challenged, will go forth and will fight against the king of the North, and he will prepare an exceedingly great multitude, and a multitude will be given into his hand.
12 Bangʼ ka jolweny mag wasike osenegi, sunga nomak ruoth mar milambo mi nomed nego ji gana gi gana, to kata kamano lochneno nobed mar kinde matin.
And he will seize a multitude, and his heart will be exalted, and he will cast down many thousands, but he will not prevail.
13 Ruoth mar Nyandwat nochok jolweny mamoko, ma nobed monj maduongʼ moloyo mano mokwongo; kendo bangʼ higni mamoko, enomonje gi jolweny mathoth man-gi gige lweny motegno.
For the king of the North will change strategy and will prepare a multitude much greater than before, and at the end of times and years, he will rush forward with a great army and exceedingly great resources.
14 “E kindeno ji mathoth nowuogi mondo oked gi ruoth mar milambo. Jo-mahundu modak e dieru nongʼany mondo fweny mane iseneno ochop kare to ok gininyal.
And in those times, many will rise up against the king of the South. And likewise the sons of the deceivers among your people will extol themselves, so as to fulfill the vision, and they will collapse.
15 Bangʼe ruoth mar Nyandwat nobi mi noger kuonde goyo agengʼa kendo ginikaw dala moro mochiel motegno. Jokedo mag Milambo ok nobed gi teko mar sirogi, kata mana jolwenjgi mabeyo mogik ok nobed gi teko mar siro lweny.
And the king of the North will arrive and will transport siege works, and he will seize the most fortified cities. And the arms of the South will not withstand him, and his elect will rise up to resist, but the strength will not.
16 Jamonj ji-cha notim gima en ema ohero; onge ngʼama nonyal chungʼ e nyime mondo oked kode. Enomanre maber mar kedo gi Piny Maber, kendo enobed gi teko mar kethe.
And when he arrives, he will do just as he pleases, and there will be none who stand against his face. And he will stand in the illustrious land, and it will be consumed by his hand.
17 Enochan mondo obi gi teko mar pinyruodhe duto, kendo enolos winjruok gi ruoth mar Milambo, kendo enomiye nyare mondo okendi, eka olo pinyno, to chenrogego ok noti, kendo ok nokonye.
And he will set his face to strive to hold his entire kingdom, and he will make fair conditions with him. And he will give him a daughter among women, so as to overthrow it. But she will not stand, neither will she be for him.
18 Bangʼe nolokre ochom pinje manie dho nam, kendo nokaw thothgi, kata kamano jatend jolweny moro notiek achaya mochechogono, kendo nodwok achayagego e wiye owuon.
And he will turn his face towards the islands, and he will seize many. And he will cause the leader of his reproach to cease, and his reproach will be turned around for him.
19 Bangʼ mano, nodog kuonde mochiel motegno manie pinygi, to kata kamano noloye ma ok nochak owinje kendo.
And he will turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he will strike, and will overthrow, but he will not succeed.
20 “Ruoth machielo manokaw kare noor jasol osuru ir ji mondo pinye obed gi mwandu marahuma. To kata kamano, notieke, bangʼ higni manok, to ok gi mirima kata e lweny.
And there will stand up in his place one who is most worthless and unworthy of kingly honor. And in a short time, he will be worn out, but not in fury, nor in battle.
21 “En noluwe gi ngʼat moro ma timbene richo ma ok owinjore bedo ruoth. Ngʼatni nomonj pinyruoth kinde ma jopiny paro ni gin gi kwe kendo enokaw pinyno kokonyore gi weche ma miriambo.
And there will stand up in his place the despicable one, and he will not be assigned the honor of a king. And he will arrive in secret, and he will obtain the kingdom by deceitfulness.
22 Eka jolweny mangʼeny mapiem kode notiek duto koneno gi wangʼe, kendo en kaachiel gi ruoth moro mar singruok notiekgi.
And the arms of the fighting will be assaulted before his face and will be shattered, and, in addition, the leader of the federation.
23 Bangʼ timo winjruok kode, nokaw loch kokonyore gi weche mag miriambo kendo kokonyore gi ji matin nono.
And, after making friends, he will trick him, and he will go up and will overcome with a small people.
24 E kinde ma pinje moko mag pinyruoth nobed kagalo ni gidhi maber, enomonjgi, kendo enolochi e yo ma wuonege kata kwerege ne pok olochogo. Enopog gik momayo ji githuon, gi gik moyako kod mwandu duto ne jolupne. Enochan bende mar loko loje mag kuonde mochiel motegno, to notim kamano kuom kinde matin kende.
And he will enter into rich and resourceful cities, and he will do what his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and will form a plan against the most steadfast, and this until a time.
25 “Enoked gi ruodh milambo, ka en gi oganda maduongʼ mar jolweny. To ruoth mar milambo bende notug lweny ka en gi jolweny maratipo kendo ma tekregi ngʼeny, kata kamano ok enonyal sire nikech jolwenyge moko nondhoge.
And his strength and his heart will be enraged against the king of the South with a great army. And the king of the South will be provoked into going to war by having many allies and exceedingly good circumstances, and yet these will not stand, for they will form plans against him.
26 Joma chamo chiemo mopogne joka ruoth notem mondo onege; jolweny mage notieki kendo thothgi noneg gi ligangla.
And those who eat bread with him will crush him, and his army will be suppressed, and very many will die, having been executed.
27 Ruodhi ariyogo nobedi e mesa achiel ka gichano timo gik maricho kendo ka moro ka moro wuondo nyawadgi, to parogino ok notimre, nikech gikogi pod nobi abiya, ka kinde ochopo.
And the heart of two kings will be similar, to do harm, and they will speak lies at one table, but they will not succeed, because as yet the end is for another time.
28 Ruodh Milambo nodog e pinye owuon ka en gi mwandu mathoth, to enoket chunye mar kedo gi singruok maler. Enotimne singruok maler gima en ema ohero eka nodog e pinygi.
And he will return to his land with many resources. And his heart will be against the holy testament, and he will act, and he will return to his own land.
29 “Ka kinde mosechan ochopo, enomonj piny Milambo kendo, to koro gima notimre nopogre gi mano mane osetimore mokwongo.
At the appointed time, he will return, and he will approach the South, but the latter time will not be like the former.
30 Joma oa yo podho chiengʼ mar pinje manie dho nam nobi gi yiedhigi mondo oked kode mi luoro nomake. Bangʼ mano nodog ka en gi mirima mager mondo oked gi ngʼat man-gi singruok maler. Enoluw weche mag joma oseweyo luwo singruok malerno.
And the Greek warships and the Romans will come upon him, and he will be pierced, and will retreat, and will have scorn against the testament of the sanctuary, and he will act. And he will return and will consult their adversaries, who have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
31 “Jolwenje momanore gi gig lweny nowuog mondo gidwany kama ochiel motegno mar hekalu kendo ginitiek misengini mitimo pile pile. Eka ginichung gima kwero makelo kethruok kanyo.
And arms will take his side, and they will pollute the sanctuary of the strength, and they will take away the continual sacrifice and will replace it with the abomination of desolation.
32 Ruoth nongʼad rieko ne joma oseweyo singruokgi, to kata kamano joma ongʼeyo Nyasachgi nochungʼ motegno.
And the impious within the testament will imitate deceitfully, but the people, knowing their God, will persevere and will act.
33 “Joma nigi rieko e kindeno nopuonj ji mangʼeny, kata obedo ni ginipodhi e dho ligangla kuom kinde matin; kendo nowangʼ-gi gi mach, kendo omakgi, kendo oyakgi,
And the teachers among the people will teach many, but they will be ruined by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by assaults for many days.
34 to giniyud kony matin ka gipodho, kendo jomoko mangʼeny mawuondore nodonj lingʼ-lingʼ diergi.
And when they have fallen, they will be supported with a little help, but many will apply to them deceitfully.
35 Moko kuom joma riek noyud chandruok, mondo pwodhgi, ikgi kendo ketgi kare nyaka ndalo giko chopi, nikech chiengʼ giko nyaka bi ka kinde ochopo.
And some of the learned will be ruined, that they may be kindled and chosen and purified, up to the predetermined time, because there will be still another time.
36 “Ruodhno notim gimoro amora mohero. Enodhialre kendo enotingʼre malo moyombo nyasaye moro amora, kendo enowach gik mapok owinji kuom Nyasaye mar nyiseche. Enobed gi loch nyaka kinde mar mirima mager rum, nikech gik mosechan nyaka timre.
And the king will act according to his will, and he will be lifted up and will be extolled against every god. And he will speak great things against the God of gods, and he will control, until the passion is completed. Once accomplished, the limit is reached with certainty.
37 Ok nodew nyiseche kwerene, kata nyasach mon miluongo ni Tamuz, kata nyasaye moro amora, to enoketre malo moyombogi duto.
And he will give no thought to the God of his fathers, and he will be in the desire of women, and he will not attend to any gods, because he will rise up against all things.
38 Kar dewo nyisechegigo, to obiro mana miyo duongʼ mana nyasaye mar kuonde mochiel motegno, to nyasaye ma kwerene ne ok olamo obiro miyo duongʼ gi dhahabu kod fedha, gi kite ma nengogi tek kod mich ma nengogi tek.
But he will do homage to the god Maozim in his place, and, a god whom his fathers did not know, he will worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and costly things.
39 Enomuk kuonde mochiel motegno maonge ngʼama nyalo muko, kotiyo gi teko mar nyasaye moro ma ji okia kendo enochiw mich madongo ne jomo okawe nolich. Jogo enoketi jotelo mag ji mangʼeny kendo enopognegi lowo mar dwokonegi erokamano.
And he will act to reinforce Maozim with an alien god, of whom he has become aware, and he will increase their glory, and will give them power over many, and he will distribute land for free.
40 “To ka giko koro chiegni, ruodh Milambo notug kode lweny, kendo ruodh Nyandwat bende nowuogne gi geche mathoth mag lweny, gi farese kod yiedhi moriedo. Enomonj pinje mathoth kendo enoywegi ka ohula.
And, at the predetermined time, the king of the South will fight against him, and the king of the North will come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great fleet, and he will enter into the lands, and will crush and pass through.
41 Piny maber bende enomonji. Pinje mangʼeny nopodhi, makmana piny Edom gi Moab kod jotend Amon ema noresi e lwete.
And he will enter into the glorious land, and many will fall. But only these will be saved from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the first part of the sons of Ammon.
42 Lochne nolandre kuom pinje mangʼeny kendo kata mana Misri ok notony e lwete.
And he will cast his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape.
43 Enobed gi teko ewi mwandu duto kaka dhahabu gi fedha, kod mwandu duto mag Misri, kendo jo-Libya gi jo-Kush bende noluore.
And he will rule over the treasure chests of gold, and silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and likewise he will pass through Libya and Ethiopia.
44 Kata kamano, weche mane owinji koa yo Wuok chiengʼ gi yo Nyandwat nomiye luoro, kendo mano nomede mirima mondo omi onegi kendo otieki ji mangʼeny.
And rumors from the East and from the North will trouble him. And he will arrive with a great multitude to destroy and to execute many.
45 Enochung hembene mag lochne e kind nembe e tie got maler ma jaber. Kata kamano gikone nochopi, kendo onge ngʼama nokonye.
And he will fasten his tabernacle, Apadno, between the seas, upon an illustrious and holy mountain, and he will come even to its summit, and no one will help him.”
