< Daniel 11 >
1 “And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood up to strengthen and protect him.
Anis bara Daariyoos namicha Meedon keessaa waggaa tokkoffaatti isa jajjabeessuu fi eeguuf isa bira dhaabadheen ture.
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.
“Egaa ani dhugaan sitti hima: Mootonni biraa sadii Faares keessatti ni kaʼu; ergasiis mootiin afuraffaan warra kaan hunda irra sooressa taʼe tokko ni kaʼa. Innis erga qabeenya isaatiin jabina argatee booddee tokkoo tokkoo namaa mootummaa Giriik irratti ni kakaasa.
3 Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.
Ergasii mootiin jabaan tokko ni kaʼa; innis humna guddaadhaan ni bulcha; waan fedhes ni hojjeta.
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.
Erga inni dhufee booddee mootummaan isaa diigamee gara qilleensota samii afraniitti gargar qoqqoodama. Mootummaan isaa buqqaʼee mootota biraatiif waan kennamuuf sanyii isaatti hin darbu yookaan humna inni argatee ture sana hin qabaatu.
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.
“Mootiin Kibbaa ni jabaata; ajajjoota loltoota isaa keessaa tokko garuu isa caalaa iyyuu jabaatee humna guddaadhaan mootummaa sana bulcha.
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.
Waggoota muraasaan booddee isaan tokko taʼu; walii galtee godhachuufis intalli mooticha Kibbaa gara mootii Kaabaa ni dhaqxi; garuu humna ishee qabattee turuu hin dandeessu; innii fi humni isaa jabaatee hin jiraatu. Bara sana keessa isheen, qondaaltota ishee, abbaa isheetii fi nama ishee gargaare wajjin dabarfamtee ni kennamti.
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.
“Hidda sanyii ishee keessaas namni tokko iddoo ishee qabachuuf ni kaʼa. Innis humnoota mootii Kaabaa dhaʼee daʼannoowwan isaas cabsee ni seena; lolees isaan moʼata.
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,
Inni waaqota isaanii, fakkiiwwan isaanii kan sibiilaatii fi miʼoota isaanii gati jabeeyyii meetii fi warqee boojiʼee gara Gibxitti ni geessa. Waggoota muraasaafis mootii Kaabaa waraanuu ni dhiisa.
9 who will invade the realm of the king of the South and then return to his own land.
Ergasii mootiin Kaabaa daangaa mootii Kibbaa ni qabata; garuu of irra garagalee biyya isaatti deebiʼa.
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.
Ilmaan isaa waraanaaf qophaaʼanii humna waraanaa guddaa tokko walitti qabatu; humni kunis akkuma lolaa namni of irraa deebisuu hin dandeenye tokkootti hamma daʼannoo isaatti duulee lola.
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.
“Ergasiis mootiin Kibbaa aariidhaan duulee mootii Kaabaa kan loltoota hedduu walitti qabate sana ni waraana; loltoonni hedduun sun garuu ni moʼamu.
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.
Mootiin Kibbaa sun yommuu loltoota baayʼee boojiʼutti garaan isaa of tuulummaadhaan guutamee kuma baayʼees ni gogorraʼa; garuu moʼichi isaa itti hin fufu.
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.
Mootiin kaabaa humna waraanaa kan isa duraa sana caalaa guddaa walitti qabataatii; waggoota baayʼee booddees humna waraanaa guddaa kan guutummaatti hidhate qabatee ni dhufa.
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.
“Yeroo sanatti namoonni baayʼeen mootii Kibbaatti ni kaʼu. Mulʼata sana raawwachuuf uummata kee keessaa finciltoonni ni kaʼu; garuu ni kufu.
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.
Ergasii mootiin Kaabaa dhufee tuulaa biyyoo hojjetee magaalaa dallaadhaan marfamte ni qabata. Humnoonni waraana Kibbaas of irraa deebisuuf humna ni dhabu; loltoonni isaanii jajjaboon iyyuu isaan dura dhaabachuuf humna dhabu.
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.
Inni itti duule sun waanuma fedhe hojjeta; namni tokko iyyuu of irraa isa deebisuu hin dandaʼu. Inni Biyya Bareedduu sana keessa jabaatee dhaabata; ishee balleessuufis humna qabaata.
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.
Inni jabina mootummaa isaa guutuudhaan dhufuu murteessa; mootii Kibbaa wajjinis walii galtee godhata. Inni mootummaa sana kuffisuuf intala isaa itti heerumsiisa; karoorri isaa kun garuu hin milkaaʼu yookaan isa hin fayyadu.
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.
Ergasii inni gara biyyoota qarqara galaanaa jiraniitti yaada isaa deebifatee baayʼee isaanii qabata; garuu ajajaan tokko of tuulummaa isaa ni fashaleessa; of tuulummaa isaas matuma isaatti deebisa.
19 After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and be no more.
Kana irratti inni fuula isaa gara daʼannoowwan biyya isaatti deebifata; garuu gufatee kufa; deebiʼees hin argamu.
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.
“Namni iddoo isaa buʼu ulfina mootummaa eegsisuuf warra gibira walitti qaban ni erga. Taʼus inni utuu aariidhaan yookaan waraanaan hin taʼin yeroo gabaabaa keessatti bada.
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.
“Iddoo isaas nama tuffatamaa ulfinni mootummaa hin kennaminiifitu qabata. Inni utuu sabni nagaadhaan jiraatuu mootummaatti duulee dabaan qabata.
22 Then a flood of forces will be swept away before him and destroyed, along with a prince of the covenant.
Ergasii raayyaan guddaan tokko fuula isaa duraa ni haxaaʼama; innii fi hangafni kakuus ni balleeffamu.
23 After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully; for he will rise to power with only a few people.
Inni erga isa wajjin walii galtee godhatee booddee hojii gowwoomsaa hojjeta; namoota muraasa wajjinis aangoo qabata.
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.
Yeroo kutaawwan biyya sooreyyiin nagaadhaan jiraatanitti isaanitti duulee waan abbootiin isaa yookaan akaakileen isaa hin hojjetin hojjeta. Innis waan boojiʼame, waan saamamee fi qabeenya duuka buʼoota isaatiif ni qoqqooda. Inni daʼannoowwan jigsuuf ni malata; garuu yeroo muraasaaf waan kana godha.
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.
“Inni raayyaa loltootaa guddaadhaan ciminaa fi jabina isaa mootii Kibbaa irratti ni kakaasa. Mootiin Kibbaas loltoota akka malee baayʼee fi humna qabaniin waraana labsa; garuu sababii mariin isa irratti mariʼatamuuf of irraa ittisuu hin dandaʼu.
26 Those who eat from his provisions will seek to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.
Warri maaddii mootichaa irraa nyaachaa turan isa balleessuu yaalu; loltoonni isaa ni barbadaaʼu; baayʼeen isaaniis waraana keessatti dhumu.
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.
Mootonni garaan isaanii hammina yaadu lamaan minjaala tokkotti naannaʼanii tataaʼanii wal sobu; garuu sababii barri dhumaa yeroo murteeffametti dhufuuf wanni kun isaaniif hin milkaaʼu.
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.
Mootiin Kaabaa qabeenya guddaadhaan gara biyya isaatti deebiʼa; garaan isaa garuu kakuu qulqulluu morma. Waanuma fedhe itti hojjetee gara biyya isaatti deebiʼa.
29 At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time will not be like the first.
“Yeroo murteeffamettis deebiʼee Kibba weerara; yeroo kanatti garuu haalli isaa kan duraa sanaan adda taʼa.
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.
Dooniiwwan Kitiim isa mormu; innis abdii kutata. Ergasii duubatti deebiʼee kakuu qulqulluutti dheekkamsa isaa buusa. Deebiʼees warra kakuu qulqulluu dhiisan jaallata.
31 His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.
“Humni loltoota isaas dallaa mana qulqullummaa jabaa sana xureessuuf ni kaʼa; aarsaa guyyaa guyyaas ni hambisa. Ergasiis isaan xuraaʼummaa badiisa fidu tokko dhaabu.
32 With flattery he will corrupt those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.
Inni warra kakuu sana dhiisan gowwoomsee ni dogoggorsa; warri Waaqa isaanii beekan garuu jabaatanii dhaabachuudhaan isa mormu.
33 Those with insight will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or plundered.
“Ogeeyyiin yoo yeroodhaaf goraadeedhaan dhuman illee yookaan gubaman illee yookaan boojiʼaman illee yookaan saamaman illee namoota hedduu ni barsiisu.
34 Now when they fall, they will be granted a little help, but many will join them insincerely.
Isaan yeroo dhumuu gaʼanitti gargaarsa xinnaa argatu; fakkeessitoonni hedduunis isaan deeggaru.
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.
Ogeeyyii keessaa tokko tokko akka hamma dhumaatti calalamaniif, akka qulqulleeffamanii warra hirʼina hin qabne taʼaniif ni gufatu; wanni kun amma iyyuu yeroo murteeffametti ni dhufaatii.
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.
“Mootiin waan jaallate hojjeta. Inni Waaqa kam iyyuu caalaa ol ol of qabee Waaqa waaqotaa mormuudhaan waan dhagaʼamee hin beekne dubbata. Inni hamma yeroon dheekkamsaa guutamutti ni milkaaʼa; wanni murteeffame sun guutamuu qabaatii.
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.
Inni waaqota abbootii isaatiif yookaan kan dubartoonni isa jaallataniif yookaan Waaqa kamiif iyyuu ulfina hin kennu; garuu hunda isaanii caalaa ol ol of qaba.
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.
Qooda isaanii waaqa daʼannoowwaniitiif ulfina kenna; inni waaqa abbootiin isaa hin beekin warqee fi meetiidhaan, dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii fi kennaawwan gati jabeeyyiidhaan ulfeessa.
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.
Inni gargaarsa waaqa ormaatiin daʼannoowwan jajjaboo waraana; warra isa jalatti bulanis akka malee kabaja. Namoota baayʼee irrattis bulchitoota isaan godhee gatiidhaan lafa qoodaaf.
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.
“Bara dhumaa keessa mootiin Kibbaa waraana itti bana; mootiin Kaabaas fardeen, gaariiwwanii fi dooniiwwan hedduudhaan akkuma dambalii isa irra garagala. Biyyoota baayʼee weeraree akkuma lolaa isaan keessa baʼee darba.
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.
Akkasumas Biyya Bareedduu weerara. Biyyoonni baayʼeen harka isaa jala galu; Edoom, Moʼaabii fi hooggantoonni Amoon garuu isa jalaa ni baʼu.
42 He will extend his power over many countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape.
Innis biyyoota baayʼee irratti aangoo isaa ni babalʼifata; Gibxis hin miliqxu.
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.
Qabeenya warqeetii fi meetii, akkasumas badhaadhummaa Gibxi hunda toʼannaa ofii isaa jala galfata; namoonni Liibiyaatii fi Itoophiyaas isa jalatti bulu.
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.
Garuu oduun baʼaa fi kaabaa dhufu isa sodaachisa; inni namoota baayʼee balleessuu fi fixuuf aarii guddaadhaan ni baʼa.
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.
Dunkaana mootummaa isaas galaanotaa fi tulluu bareedaa qulqulluu gidduu ni dhaabbata. Taʼu illee inni dhuma ofii isaatti ni dhufa; namni tokko iyyuu isa hin gargaaru.
