Daniel 11
1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede I was on his side to make his position safe and make him strong.
Ndipo chaka choyamba cha Dariyo Mmedi ine Mikayeli ndinabwera kumuthandiza ndi kumuteteza Gabrieli.
2 And now I will make clear to you what is true. There are still three kings to come in Persia, and the fourth will have much greater wealth than all of them: and when he has become strong through his wealth, he will put his forces in motion against all the kingdoms of Greece.
“Ndipo tsopano ndikuwuza zoona: Mafumu ena atatu adzalamulira ku Peresiya, ndipo kenaka padzadzuka mfumu yachinayi imene idzakhala yolemera kwambiri kuposa onsewo. Popeza kuti idzakhala ndi mphamvu chifukwa cha chuma chake, idzadzutsa onse kuti alimbane ndi ufumu wa Grisi.
3 And a strong king will come to power, ruling with great authority and doing whatever is his pleasure.
Kenaka mfumu yamphamvu idzafika imene idzalamulira ndi ufumu waukulu ndi kuchita zimene ifuna.
4 And when he has become strong, his kingdom will be broken and parted to the four winds of heaven; but not to his offspring, for it will be uprooted; and his kingdom will be for the others and not for these: but not with the same authority as his.
Koma ufumu wake ukadzafika pachimake, udzawonongedwa ndi kugawidwa mʼzigawo zinayi. Ufumuwo sudzaperekedwa kwa zidzukulu zake, ndipo olowa mʼmalo mwake sadzakhala ndi mphamvu monga anali nazo, chifukwa ufumu wake udzazulidwa ndi kuperekedwa kwa ena.
5 And the king of the south will be strong, but one of his captains will be stronger than he and will be ruler; and his rule will be a great rule.
“Mfumu ya kummwera idzakhala yamphamvu, koma mmodzi mwa akalonga ake adzakhala ndi mphamvu kuposa iyo; adzalamulira ufumu wake waukulu kwambiri.
6 And at the end of years they will be joined together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she will not keep the strength of her arm; and his offspring will not keep their place; but she will be uprooted, with those who were the cause of her coming, and her son, and he who took her in those times.
Patapita zaka zingapo, mfumu ya kummwera ndi mfumu ya kumpoto adzachita pangano. Mwana wamkazi wa mfumu ya kummwera adzapita nakakwatiwa ndi mfumu ya kumpoto pokhazikitsa pangano la mtendere, koma ulamuliro wake pamodzi ndi wa mwana wake sudzakhalitsa. Mʼmasiku amenewo iye, mwamuna wake, mwana wake ndi atumiki ake, onse adzaperekedwa kwa adani.
7 But out of a branch from her roots one will come up to take his place, who will come against the army, forcing his way into the strong place of the king of the north, and he will take them in hand and overcome them:
“Mmodzi wochokera ku banja la mkaziyo adzadzuka nadzalamulira mʼmalo mwake. Iye adzamenyana ndi ankhondo a mfumu ya kumpoto ndi kulowa mʼmalo ake otetezedwa; adzachita nawo nkhondo ndi kupambana.
8 And their gods and their metal images and their fair vessels of silver and gold he will take away into the south; and for some years he will keep away from the king of the north.
Iye adzalandanso milungu yawo, mafano awo achitsulo, ndi ziwiya zawo zamtengowapatali zasiliva ndi golide ndi kubwerera nazo ku Igupto. Adzaleka osayithira nkhondo mfumu ya kumpoto kwa zaka zingapo.
9 And he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will go back to his land.
Kenaka mfumu ya kumpoto idzathira nkhondo dziko la mfumu ya kummwera koma idzalephera ndi kubwerera kwawo.
10 And his son will make war, and will get together an army of great forces, and he will make an attack on him, overflowing and going past: and he will again take the war even to his strong place.
Ana ake adzakonzekera nkhondo ndi kusonkhanitsa gulu lankhondo lalikulu, limene lidzathira nkhondo mfumu yakummwera ngati chigumula mpaka kumalo ake otetezedwa.
11 And the king of the south will be moved with wrath, and will come out and make war on him, on this same king of the north: and he will get together a great army, but the army will be given into his hand.
“Kenaka mfumu yakummwera idzatuluka mokwiya ndi kumenya nkhondo ndi mfumu yakumpoto, imene idzasonkhanitsa gulu lalikulu la nkhondo, koma idzayigonjetsa.
12 And the army will be taken away, and his heart will be uplifted: he will be the cause of the downfall of tens of thousands, but he will not be strong.
Gulu la nkhondoli likadzagwidwa, mfumu yakummwera idzayamba kudzikuza ndipo idzapha anthu miyandamiyanda, koma kupambanaku sikudzapitirira.
13 And again the king of the north will get together an army greater than the first; and he will make an attack on him at the end of years, with a great army and much wealth.
Popeza mfumu ya kumpoto idzasonkhanitsa gulu lina lankhondo, lochulukirapo kuposa loyamba; ndipo patapita zaka zingapo idzabwera ndi chigulu chachikulu cha nkhondo chokonzekeratu ndi zida.
14 In those times, a number will take up arms against the king of the south: and the children of the violent among your people will be lifting themselves up to make the vision come true; but it will be their downfall.
“Nthawi imeneyo ambiri adzawukira mfumu ya kummwera. Anthu achisokonezo pakati panu nawonso adzawukira pokwaniritsa masomphenya, koma sadzapambana.
15 So the king of the north will come, and put up earthworks and take a well-armed town: and the forces of the king of the south will make an attempt to keep their position, even the best of his army, but they will not have strength to do so.
Kenaka mfumu ya kumpoto idzafika ndikuzinga mzinda powunda nthumbira za nkhondo ndipo idzagonjetsa mzinda wotetezedwa. Gulu lankhondo la kummwera lidzasowa mphamvu; ngakhale akatswiri awo ankhondo sadzakhala ndi mphamvu zogonjetsera ankhondo a kumpoto.
16 And he who comes against him will do his pleasure, and no one will be able to keep his place before him: he will take up his position in the beautiful land and in his hand there will be destruction.
Mfumu ya kumpoto idzachita zofuna zake; palibe aliyense adzayigonjetse. Idzakhazikitsa ulamuliro wake mu Dziko Lokongola. Zonse zidzakhala mu ulamuliro wa mfumu yakumpoto ija.
17 And it will be his purpose to come with the strength of all his kingdom, but in place of this he will make an agreement with him; and he will give him the daughter of women to send destruction on it; but this will not take place or come about.
Idzafika ndi mphamvu za ufumu wake wonse ndipo idzayesa kuchita pangano la mtendere ndi mfumu ya kummwera. Ndipo idzamupatsa mwana wake wamkazi kuti amukwatire ndi cholinga cholanda ufumu, koma zolinga zake sizidzatheka kapena kumuthandiza.
18 After this, his face will be turned to the islands, and he will take a number of them: but a chief, by his destruction, will put an end to the shame offered by him; and more than this, he will make his shame come back on him.
Kenaka idzatembenukira ku mayiko a mʼmbali mwa nyanja ndi kulanda mizinda yambiri, koma mtsogoleri wina wa nkhondo adzathetsa kudzikuza kwakeko ndipo adzabwezera chipongwecho kwa iye.
19 Then his face will be turned to the strong places of his land: but his way will be stopped, causing his downfall, and he will not be seen again.
Zikadzatha izi, mfumu idzabwerera ku malo otetezedwa a dziko la kwawo koma idzapunthwa ndi kugwa osapezekanso.
20 Then his place will be taken by one who will send out a man with the glory of a king to get wealth together; but after a short time destruction will overtake him, but not in wrath or in the fight.
“Mfumu imene idzatenga malo ake idzatumiza wokhometsa msonkho kuti chuma cha ufumu wake chichuluke. Komabe mʼzaka zochepa mfumuyo idzawonongedwa osati mu mkwiyo kapena ku nkhondo.
21 And his place will be taken by a low person, to whom the honour of the kingdom had not been given: but he will come in time of peace and will get the kingdom by fair words.
“Mʼmalo mwake mudzalowa munthu wonyozeka amene si wa banja laufumu. Iye adzabwera pamene anthu akuganiza kuti ali pa mtendere, ndipo adzalanda ufumuwo mwa chinyengo.
22 And his forces will be completely taken away from before him and broken; and even the ruler of the agreement will have the same fate.
Kenaka adzagonetsa gulu lalikulu lankhondo kuphatikizapo Mkulu wa Ansembe wapangano.
23 And from the time when they make an agreement with him, he will be working falsely: for he will take up arms suddenly with a small force,
Atatha kuchita naye pangano, iye adzachita monyenga, ndipo ngakhale adzakhale ndi anthu ochepa adzakhalabe ndi mphamvu.
24 Against fertile places, and will make waste a part of the country; and he will do what his fathers have not done, or his fathers' fathers; he will make distribution among them of goods taken in war and by force, and of property: he will even make designs against the strong places for a time.
Mwadzidzidzi, iye adzazithira nkhondo zigawo zolemera kwambiri ndipo adzachita zimene makolo ake ngakhale agogo ake sanachitepo. Iye adzagawira zolanda, zofunkha ndi chuma kwa omutsatira. Adzachita chiwembu cholanda mizinda yotetezedwa koma kwa kanthawi kochepa.
25 And he will put in motion his power and his strength against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will go to war with a very great and strong army: but he will be forced to give way, because of their designs against him;
“Mfumu ya kumpoto idzalimba mtima, ndipo idzasonkhanitsa gulu lalikulu la ankhondo kuti lithire nkhondo mfumu yakummwera. Mfumu yakummwera ndi gulu lake lankhondo lalikulu ndi lamphamvu idzathirana nkhondo ndi mfumu yakumpoto koma sidzapambana chifukwa cha ziwembu zimene adzamukonzera.
26 And his fears will overcome him and be the cause of his downfall, and his army will come to complete destruction, and a great number will be put to the sword.
Amene amadya chakudya ndi mfumu adzamuukira; gulu lake lankhondo lidzagonjetsedwa, ndipo ambiri adzafera ku nkhondo.
27 And as for these two kings, their hearts will be fixed on doing evil and they will say false words at one table; but it will come to nothing: for the end will be at the time fixed.
Mafumu awiriwa mitima yawo idzalinga ku zoyipa. Azidzanamizana ali pa tebulo limodzi, koma zolinga zawo sizidzatheka chifukwa nthawi idzakhala isanakwane.
28 And he will go back to his land with great wealth; and his heart will be against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure and go back to his land.
Mfumu ya kumpoto idzabwerera ku dziko la kwawo ndi chuma chambiri, koma mtima wake udzafunitsitsa pangano lopatulika. Idzawononga panganolo ndipo kenaka idzabwerera ku dziko lake.
29 At the time fixed he will come back and come into the south; but in the later time it will not be as it was before.
“Patapita nthawi mfumu ya kumpoto idzabwereranso kummwera koma sidzapambana monga inachitira kale.
30 For those who go out from the west will come against him, and he will be in fear and will go back, full of wrath against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure: and he will go back and be united with those who have given up the holy agreement.
Sitima zapamadzi zochokera ku mayiko a ku madzulo zidzalimbana naye, ndipo adzataya mtima. Kenaka idzabwerera mopsa mtima ndi kudzalimbana ndi chipembedzo cha anthu opatulika. Idzabwerera ndi kuchitira chifundo amene sadzasunga pangano loyera.
31 And armies sent by him will take up their position and they will make unclean the holy place, even the strong place, and take away the regular burned offering and put in its place an unclean thing causing fear.
“Ankhondo ake adzayipitsa linga la Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo adzathetsa nsembe za tsiku ndi tsiku. Kenaka adzakhazikitsa chonyansa chimene chabweretsa chiwonongeko.
32 And those who do evil against the agreement will be turned to sin by his fair words: but the people who have knowledge of their God will be strong and do well.
Ndi mawu oshashalika mfumuyo idzakopa amene anaphwanya pangano, koma anthu amene amadziwa Mulungu wawo adzalimbika ndipo adzayikana mfumuyo kwathunthu.
33 And those who are wise among the people will be the teachers of the mass of the people: but they will come to their downfall by the sword and by the flame, being made prisoners and undergoing loss for a long time.
“Amene ndi anzeru adzalangiza ambiri. Koma patapita kanthawi adzaphedwa ndi lupanga kapena kutenthedwa, kapena kugwidwa kapena kulandidwa katundu.
34 Now at the time of their downfall they will have a little help, but numbers will be joined to them in the town, and in their separate heritages.
Pa nthawi yozunzikayi ena adzawathandiza pangʼono, koma ambiri othandizawo adzakhala achinyengo.
35 And some of those who are wise will have wisdom in testing themselves and making themselves clean, till the time of the end: for it is still for the fixed time.
Ena mwa anzeruwo adzaphedwa ndi cholinga chakuti ayengedwe, otsala mwa iwo ayeretsedwe ndi kukhala wopanda banga kufikira nthawi yomaliza, popeza idzafika ndithu nthawi imene Mulungu wayika.
36 And the king will do his pleasure; he will put himself on high, lifting himself over every god, and saying things to be wondered at against the God of gods; and all will be well for him till the wrath is complete; for what has been purposed will be done.
“Mfumu ya kumpoto idzachita zimene ikufuna. Idzadzikweza ndi kudziyesa yopambana mulungu aliyense ndipo idzanenera za mwano Mulungu wa milungu. Iyo idzapambana mpaka nthawi yoti Mulungu ayilange mwa mkwiyo itakwana popeza chimene chatsimikizika chiyenera kuchitika.
37 He will have no respect for the gods of his fathers or for the god desired by women; he will have no respect for any god: for he will put himself on high over all.
Mfumuyo idzanyoza milungu ya makolo ake ndiponso mulungu wokondedwa ndi akazi, sidzachitiranso ulemu mulungu aliyense, koma idzadzikweza yokha pamwamba pa onse.
38 But in place of this he will give honour to the god of armed places, and to a god of whom his fathers had no knowledge he will give honour with gold and silver and jewels and things to be desired.
Mʼmalo mwa onsewo, idzachitira ulemu mulungu wachitetezo; mulungu wosadziwika ndi makolo ake. Iyo idzapereka kwa mulunguyo golide ndi siliva, ndi miyala yokongola, ndiponso mphatso za pamwamba kwambiri.
39 And he will make use of the people of a strange god to keep his strongest places; to those whom he takes note of he will give high honour: and he will make them rulers over the mass of the people, and will make division of the land for a price.
Anthu opembedza mulungu wachilendo adzakhala ngati linga lake. Idzalemekeza iwowa kwambiri, ndipo idzawayika kuti alamulire anthu ambiri. Idzawagawira dziko ngati malipiro awo.
40 And at the time of the end, the king of the south will make an attack on him: and the king of the north will come against him like a storm-wind, with war-carriages and horsemen and numbers of ships; and he will go through many lands like overflowing waters.
“Pa nthawi yomaliza mfumu yakummwera idzachita nkhondo ndi mfumu yakumpoto. Koma mfumu yakumpotoyi idzayikantha ndi magaleta ndi akavalo ndi sitima zapamadzi zambiri ngati mphepo yamkokomo. Idzalowa mʼmayiko ambiri ndikuwakokolola onse ngati madzi osefukira.
41 And he will come into the beautiful land, and tens of thousands will be overcome: but these will be kept from falling into his hands: Edom and Moab and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Idzalowanso mʼDziko Lokongola ndipo anthu ambiri adzaphedwa. Koma Edomu, Mowabu ndi olamulira a Amoni adzapulumuka.
42 And his hand will be stretched out on the countries: and the land of the south will not be safe from him.
Idzathira nkhondo mayiko ambiri ndipo ngakhale Igupto sadzapulumuka.
43 But he will have power over the stores of gold and silver, and over all the valued things of the south: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will be at his steps.
Idzalanda chuma cha golide, siliva, ndi zonse za mtengowapatali za ku Igupto, ndiponso anthu a ku Libiya ndi Akusi adzagonja kwa iwo.
44 But he will be troubled by news from the east and from the north; and he will go out in great wrath, to send destruction on, and put an end to, great numbers.
Koma uthenga wochokera kummawa ndi kumpoto udzayiopsa, ndipo idzapita ndi ukali kukawononga ndi kutheratu anthu ambiri.
45 He will put the tents of his great house between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain: but he will come to his end with no helper.
Mfumuyo idzayimika matenti ake aufumu, pakati pa nyanja ndi phiri lokongola. Komabe mapeto ake mfumuyo idzaphedwa, ndipo palibe amene adzayithandize.”
