< Daniel 11 >
1 “And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood up to strengthen and protect him.
Aa ty amako, ie tan-taom-baloha’ i Dariavese nte-Madày le nitroatse hañosike naho hampaozatse aze.
2 Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.
Ie henane zao le haboako ama’o ty hatò. Inay, fa ho mpanjaka telo ty e Parase ao, fa hanontoñe vara bey te amy telo rey iaby ty fah’efatse; le i hafatrara’ey añamo vara’eo ty hampitrobotroboe’e i màroy haname Iavane.
3 Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.
Hiongak’ amy zao ty mpanjaka mahimbañe, le ho felehe’e ty fifeheañe jabajaba vaho hanoe’e ze satri’e.
4 But as soon as he is established, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the authority with which he ruled, because his kingdom will be uprooted and given to others.
Fa ie mifehe, le ho folaheñe i fifehea’ey vaho ho zaraeñe amo tiok’efa’ i likerañeio, fe tsy amo tarira’eo, ndra amy fifeheañe nifelehe’ey; fa hombotañe ho amo ila’e tsy a’ iareoo i fifehea’ey.
5 The king of the South will grow strong, but one of his commanders will grow even stronger and will rule his own kingdom with great authority.
Le i mpanjaka’ i atimoiy, ty raik’ amo mpifele’eo ro hampifatra-batañe naho handikoatse aze vaho hihaozatse; ho bey henehene i fifehea’ey.
6 After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to seal the agreement. But his daughter will not retain her position of power, nor will his strength endure. At that time she will be given up, along with her royal escort and her father and the one who supported her.
Fa ie migadoñe i sa zay, le hifampipiteke iereo; fa homb’ amy mpanjaka’ i avaratsey ty anak’ ampela’ i atimoy hifañina, fe tsy ho tana’e ty hafatraram-pità’e; tsy hahafitroatse ka i lahilahiy ndra i fità’ey, fa haitoañe rekets’ o nanese azeo naho i nisamak’ azey, vaho o mpañimb’ aze amy andro zaio.
7 But one from her family line will rise up in his place, come against the army of the king of the North, and enter his fortress, fighting and prevailing.
Fe boak’ ami’ty singam-baha’e ty hitroara’ ty raik’ amy fiambesa’ey naho hivotrak’ amy mpirai-lian-dahindefoñey naho himoak’ an-kijoly fatra’ i mpanjaka avaratsey naho hanoe’e am’ iereo ze satri’e, vaho hahagioke;
8 He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold. For some years he will stay away from the king of the North,
le fonga ho tavane’e naho hendese’e am-pandrohizañe mb’e Mitsraime añe o ndrahare’ iareoo, rekets’ o roandria’eo, naho o fanake volafoty naho volamena sarotseo, ie hahatam-bàtañe taoñe maromaro amy mpanjaka’ i avaratseiy.
9 who will invade the realm of the king of the South and then return to his own land.
Izay ty himoaha’ i mpanjaka’ i atimoy i fifeheañey vaho himpoly an-tane’e añe.
10 But his sons will stir up strife and assemble a great army, which will advance forcefully, sweeping through like a flood, and will again carry the battle as far as his fortress.
Fe hitrobo-vatañe o ana’eo naho hatonto’ iareo ty hatozantozan-dian-dahindefoñe naho hiherereake mb’eo, le hisorotombake, naho hiranga, naho hitolike vaho haname i kijoli’e fatratsey an-kaviñerañe.
11 In a rage, the king of the South will march out to fight the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy.
Aa le hiforoforo amy zao i mpanjaka’ i atimoy naho haname aze vaho hialy ama’e, amy mpanjaka’ i avaratseiy, aa ndra t’ie valobohòke ro havotra’e amy montoñey, toe hene hatolotse am-pità’e i valobohòkey.
12 When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be proud in heart and will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not triumph.
Aa ie fa nasese’e i valobohòkey, le hirengevoke ty arofo’e, vaho añ’ ale añ’ ale ty hafetsa’e ambane, fe tsy hampanjofak’ aze.
13 For the king of the North will raise another army, larger than the first, and after some years he will advance with a great army and many supplies.
Ie añe, le hatonto’ i mpanjaka avaratsey ty lahi-ale mandikoatse i teoy, le ie am-pigadoñan-tsà naho taoñe ro hañoridañe mb’eo reketse lian-dahialen-defoñe mitozantozañe naho haraotse tsifotofoto.
14 In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones among your own people will exalt themselves in fulfillment of the vision, but they will fail.
Fe maro ty hitroatse haname i mpanjaka’ i atimoy amy sa zay; o ana-piaroteñe am’ondati’oo ty hitroatse hañenefa’ iareo i aroñaroñey, fe hihotrake.
15 Then the king of the North will come, build up a siege ramp, and capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their best troops will not be able to resist.
Aa le homb’eo ty mpanjaka’ i avaratsey hamotry tamboho naho hitavañe ty rova maòzatse, le tsy hahatañ’ aze o fità’atimoo, ndra i lia-raike jinobo’ey, ie ho po-haozarañe tsy hahafitroatse.
16 The invader will do as he pleases, and no one will stand against him. He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.
Hanao ze satri’e i haname azey, naho tsy eo ty hahafiatrek’ ama’e, ie hijohañe amy tane engeñey, vaho fanjamanañe ty ho am-pità’e.
17 He will resolve to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with the king of the South. He will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plan will not succeed or help him.
Hampiatrefe’e laharañe homba’e mb’eo reketse ze hene haozaram-pifehea’e naho hifañina’e: hatolo’e aze ty anak’ ampelan-drakemba, hampimomohañe aze; fe tsy hijohañe ho aze i ampelay vaho tsy ho tohaña’e.
18 Then he will turn his face to the coastlands and capture many of them. But a commander will put an end to his reproach and will turn it back upon him.
Aa le hampitolihe’e mb’amo tokonoseo ty lahara’e, le ho tavane’e ty maro, fe hampijihetse ty fañinjea’e ty roandriañe vaho hafote’e ama’e i fañinjea’ey.
19 After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and be no more.
Hampitolihe’e laharañe mb’ amo kijoly an-tane’eo, fe hitsikapy re toe hikoromake vaho tsy ho tendreke ka.
20 In his place one will arise who will send out a tax collector for the glory of the kingdom; but within a few days he will be destroyed, though not in anger or in battle.
Hitroatse handimbe aze ty hampiranga mpamori-haba ami’ty enge’ i fifeheañey; f’ie modo ty andro tsy ampe le ho folake tsy aman-kaboseke tsy aman-aly.
21 In his place a despicable person will arise; royal honors will not be given to him, but he will come in a time of peace and seize the kingdom by intrigue.
Handimbe aze ty lo-tsereke; tsy hatolotse ama’e ty asi’ i fifeheañey; f’ie hivotrake eo am-pilongoañe le ho azo’e an-kabeake i fifeheañey.
22 Then a flood of forces will be swept away before him and destroyed, along with a prince of the covenant.
Lahindefo tsifotofoto ty hisaok’ añatrefa’e hoe sinaon-tsorotombake, vaho ho pozaheñe; eka, ndra i ana-dona’ i fañinaiy.
23 After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully; for he will rise to power with only a few people.
Ie nifandrimboñe, te mone hitolom-pamañahiañe, vaho hitroatse naho hihaozatse am-borizàñe kedekedeke.
24 In a time of peace, he will invade the richest provinces and do what his fathers and forefathers never did. He will lavish plunder, loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will plot against the strongholds—but only for a time.
Hivotrak’ amo toetse vondrak’ amy faritaneio re an-tsam-pierañerañañe; vaho hanoe’e am’ iereo ty tsy nanoen-drae’e, ndra o roaen-drae’eo; ho zarae’e am’ iereo ty tsindroke, ty kopake, naho ty vara; eka hikinia ty fikililia’e amo rova fatratseo fe am-para’ i àndroy avao.
25 And with a large army he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South, who will mobilize a very large and powerful army but will not withstand the plots devised against him.
Ho trobotroboe’e ty hafatrara’e naho ty hahavania’e hiatreke i mpanjaka’ i atimoy ami’ty hatozantozan-dahin-defo’e; hihàroke hihotakotake ty mpanjaka’ i atimoy an-dia-rain-dahin-defo jabajaba naho maozatse; fe tsy hahafijohañe, amy t’ie hikinià’ iareo.
26 Those who eat from his provisions will seek to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.
Eka, o mitrao-pikama ama’eo ty handrotsak’ aze, naho hisaok’ añe i lia-rain-dahin-defo’ey, vaho lako ty hitsingoritritse am-pizamanañe.
27 And the two kings, with their hearts bent on evil, will speak lies at the same table, but to no avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.
Le ty amy mpanjaka roroey, hifamañahy avao ty arofo’ iareo, vaho hifandañitse am-pandambañañe eo, fe tsy hiraorao; amy te i andro tinendrey avao ty higadoña’e.
28 The king of the North will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant; so he will do damage and return to his own land.
Ie mimpoly mb’an-tane’e mb’ eo, amam-bara tsifotofoto, le te hiatreatre i fañina miavakey ty tro’e, naho hanoe’e ze satri’e, vaho himpoly an-tane’e añe.
29 At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time will not be like the first.
Ie añ’andro tinendre le hibalike, vaho hivotrak’ atimo ao; fe tsy ho hambañe amy taoloy i henane zay.
30 Ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and rage against the holy covenant and do damage. So he will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.
F’ie tamè o sambo’ i Kitìo le hanahelo naho himpoly vaho hatorifi’e i fañina miavakey; aa le hanoe’e ze satri’e naho hibalike vaho hitrao-kilily amo namorintseñe i fañina miavakeio.
31 His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.
Hanontoñe lahin-defon-dre, le ho leore’ iareo i toetse miavakey naho i rova fatratsey, vaho hapitso’ iareo i fisoroñañe boak’ àndroy, handimbeza’ iareo fiterateràñe mampangoakoake.
32 With flattery he will corrupt those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.
Hanao kabeake re hampanan-kakeo o mifotetse amy fañinaio, fe hihaozatse ondaty mahafohiñe an’ Andrianañahare’eo vaho hitoloñe.
33 Those with insight will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or plundered.
Hampahilala i màroy o mahihitse am’ondatio, fe hampikorovohem-pibara naho afo, naho fandrohizañe, vaho fikopahañe andro maro.
34 Now when they fall, they will be granted a little help, but many will join them insincerely.
Ie mikorovoke le holorañe fañolorañe kedeke, fe an-tsiriry ty hipiteha’ i màroy am’ iereo.
35 Some of the wise will fall, so that they may be refined, purified, and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
Hitsikapy ka ty ila’ o mahihitse am’ iereoo, ho tranaheñe naho lioveñe naho fotieñe ampara’ ty sa honka’e, fa mbe añe i andro tinendrey.
36 Then the king will do as he pleases and will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and he will speak monstrous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been decreed must be accomplished.
Hanao ze satri’e i mpanjakay, hitoabotse naho hisenge ambone’ ze atao ndrahare naho hilañoñe haterateràñe mahatangoangoa aman’ Andrianañaharen-drahare vaho hiraorao am-para’ te heneke i hatorifihañey, fa ho henefeñe ze tinendre.
37 He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers, nor for the one desired by women, nor for any other god, because he will magnify himself above them all.
Tsy hahoa’e t’i Andrianañaharen-droae’e, ndra ty fikokoan-ampela, ndra ty fañisohan’ añahare ia’ia; fa hitoabotoabotse ambone’ ze kila raha.
38 And in their place, he will honor a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not know—with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches.
Te mone hiasia’e ty ndraharen-toem-pàtratse, ndrahare tsy nifohin-droae’e; hiasie’e am-bolamena naho volafoty naho vato-soa vaho hareañe saro-bily.
39 He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing the land for a price.
Hitraok’ amo mpiaman-drahare kihàfao re hamboatse fipalirañe maozatse, le hampitoabore’e ty enge’ iareo naho hampifelehe’e ty maro vaho ho zarae’e i taney hahazoa’e tombo’e.
40 At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships, invading many countries and sweeping through them like a flood.
Aa ie migadoñe i sa zay le hikapàke ama’e ty mpanjaka atimo, fe hampibobo tangololahy ama’e an-tsarete ty mpanjaka avaratse reketse soavala vaho sambo maro, hene hivotraha’e o taneo, ho sorotombahe’e ami’ty firanga’e mb’eo.
41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall. But these will be delivered from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the leaders of the Ammonites.
Homb’ amy tane rengèñey re le hihotrake ty fifeheañe maro, fe iretoañe ty hipolatitse am-pità’e: i Edome naho i Moabe vaho ty talen’ ana’ i Amone.
42 He will extend his power over many countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape.
Hatorakitsi’e amo taneo ty fità’e vaho tsy hahafandrifitse ama’e ty tane Mitsraime.
43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt, and the Libyans and Cushites will also submit to him.
Fonga ho fehè’e o vara volamena naho volafotio naho ze raha saro-bili’ i Mitsraime; le ho atimpahe’e o nte-Lobìo naho o nte-Kosio.
44 But news from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will go out with great fury to destroy many and devote them to destruction.
Fe hitsobore aze ty talily boak’ atiñanañe naho avaratse añe; aa le hionjomb’eo re am-poroforo mandofiry handrotsake naho hanjamañe ty maro.
45 He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, but he will meet his end with no one to help him.
Hajado’e añivo’ o riakeo naho i vohitse miavake fanjàkay o sokemitrahan-drova’eo vaho higadoñe ty fiai’e, tsy amam-pañolotse.
