< 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.
Fa tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Dariosa Mediana dia nitsangana hampahery sy hanatanjaka azy aho.
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.
Ary ankehitriny izay tenany tokoa dia haharihariko aminao. Indro, mbola hisy mpanjaka telo koa hitsangana any Persia; ary ny fahefatra hanan-karena be mihoatra noho izy rehetra; koa rehefa mahery izy noho ny hareny, dia hotairiny avokoa ny olona rehetra hamely ny fanjakan’ i Grisia.
3 And a strong king will come to power, ruling with great authority and doing whatever is his pleasure.
Ary hisy mpanjaka mahery hitsangana, izay hanapaka amin’ ny fanapahana lehibe sady hanao araka izay sitrapony.
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.
Ary rehefa mitsangana izy, dia horavana ny fanjakany ka hozaraina ho amin’ ny rivotra efatry ny lanitra; fa tsy ho an’ ny taranany, na araka ny fanapahany izay nanapahany, fa hongotana ny fanjakany ka ho an’ ny hafa, fa tsy ho an’ ireo.
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.
Ary hahery ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo; nefa ny anankiray amin’ ny andriandahiny dia hahery noho izy aza ka hanapaka; ary ho fanapahana lehibe ny fanapahany.
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.
Ary rehefa afaka taona vitsivitsy, dia hikambana izy roa lahy ireo; ary ho avy ny zanakavavin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo hankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra hahatsara ny fihavanana; nefa tsy hahatana ny herin-tsandry izy, ary tsy hahajanona ilay mpanjaka na ny sandriny, fa hatolotra razazavavy sy ireo nitondra azy sy rainy niteraka azy mbamin’ izay nampahery azy tamin’ izany andro izany.
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:
Fa hisy solofony anankiray avy amin’ ny fakany hitsangana handimby azy, ka hihavian’ izay ny miaramila, ary hidirany ny fiarovana mafin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra, ka hasiany ireo, dia hahery izy.
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.
Ary ny andriamaniny koa mbamin’ ny sarin-javatra an-idina sy ny fanaka tsara ananany, na ny volafotsy na ny volamena, dia hobaboiny avokoa; ary hijanona elaela tsy hamely ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra izy.
9 And he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will go back to his land.
Ary ho tonga amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo izy, nefa hody any amin’ ny taniny ihany.
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.
Fa hanomana tafika ny zanany ka hanangona miaramila maro be; dia ho avy tokoa ireo ka hanerana toy ny safotra, rehefa afaka izany, dia hiverina izy, ary hanihiny ihany na dia ny fiarovana mafiny aza.
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.
Ary dia hisafoaka ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo, ka hivoaka hiady aminy izy, dia amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra, ary izy hanangona maro be; ary ny maro be dia hatolotra ho eo an-tànany.
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.
Ary raha miainga ireo maro be ireo, dia hiavonavona ny fony; ary haharipaka alinalina izy, nefa tsy hahery.
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.
Fa hiverina ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra ka hanangona olona maro be mihoatra noho ny teo; ary rehefa afaka ny fe-taona, dia ho avy tokoa izy ka hitondra miaramila maro sy fitaovana betsaka.
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.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia maro no hitsangana hamely ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo; ary ireo loza indrindra amin’ ny firenenao dia hanandra-tena hahatò ny fahitana, nefa ho lavo izy.
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.
Ka dia ho avy ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra hanandratra tovon-tany hanafaka ny tanàna mimanda; ary na ny sandrin’ ny atsimo na ny olom-pidiny dia tsy hahomby, ary tsy hisy hery hahombiazany.
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.
Fa izay avy hamely azy dia hanao araka Izay sitrapony, ka tsy hisy hahajanona eo anatrehany; ary izy hijanona ao amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra, ary hisy fandringanana eny an-tànany.
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.
Dia hivonona tsara handeha amin’ ny herin’ ny fanjakany rehetra izy ka hanao izay hahatsara ny fihavanana; ary homeny ny zanakavavin’ ny vehivavy izy ka hahatonga loza aminy; ary tsy hahalavorary razazavavy, na hahasoa azy akory.
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.
Ary hitodika mankany amin’ ny nosy izy ka hahalasa be; ary hisy mpanapaka hampitsahatra ny latsa ataony, sady hatsingeriny aminy ny latsa ataony.
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.
Dia hitodika hankany, amin’ ny fiarovana mafy any amin’ ny taniny izy; kanjo ho tafintohina sy ho lavo izy ka tsy ho hita.
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.
Ary hitsangana handimby azy indray ny anankiray izay hampandeha mpampiasa ho any amin’ izay tsara indrindra amin’ ny fanjakany; fa rehefa afaka andro vitsy, dia ho faty io, nefa tsy amin’ ny fahatezerana, na amin’ ny ady.
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.
Ary hisy olona famingavinga hitsangana handimby io indray, izay tsy homena ny voninahitry ny fanjakana; fa hiditra tsy ampoizina izy ka hahazo ny fanjakana amin’ ny fahafetsena,
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.
ary ireo miaramila toy ny safotra no hindaosina hiala eo anatrehany sady ho resiny mbamin’ ny andriana vita fanekena aminy koa.
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,
Eny, rehefa mifanaiky aminy io, dia hanao fitaka; fa hiakatra izy ka hahery, na dia vitsy aza ny olona entiny.
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.
Hiditra tsy ampoizina amin’ ny fari-tany mahavokatra indrindra izy ka hanao izay tsy nataon’ ny rainy na ny razany; hahahany eny amin’ ireny ny sambotra sy ny babo ary ny harena; ary hamoron-tsaina izy ka hamely ny fiarovana mandra-pahalanin’ ny fotoana.
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;
Ary hanaitra ny heriny sy ny fony izy hamely ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo amin’ ny miaramila maro; ary ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo kosa hanafika mitondra miaramila maro sady mahery indrindra; nefa tsy hahajanona izy, satria hisy hamoron-tsaina hamely azy.
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.
Eny, izay homana ny hanina avy aminy ihany no hahalavo azy, ary ny miaramilany hanerana toy ny safotra, sady maro ny faty hiampatrampatra.
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.
Ary ny fon’ ireo mpanjaka roa ireo dia samy ta-hanao ratsy, ary eo an-databatra iray no hiresahany lainga; nefa tsy hambinina izany; fa ny farany dia ho amin’ ny fotoana ihany.
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.
Ary hiverina ho any amin’ ny taniny mitondra harena be izy; koa ny fony dia hanohitra ny fanekena masìna; ary hahefa sy hiverina ho any amin’ ny taniny izy
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.
Amin’ ny fotoana dia ho lasa mianatsimo indray izy; nefa ny farany tsy ho toy ny voalohany;
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.
fa ny sambon’ i Kitima ho avy namely azy, ka dia ho kivy izy ka hiverina ary hisafoaka amin’ ny fanekena masìna ka hamely; eny, hiverina izy ka hisaina ny amin’ ireo efa mahafoy ny fanekena masìna.
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.
Ary hisy miaramila hitsangana noho ny teniny ka handoto ny fitoerana masìna, dia ny fiarovana mafy, ary hampitsahatra ny fanatitra isan’ andro sady hampiditra ny fahavetavetana mahatonga fandravana.
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.
Ary izay mivadika ny fanekena dia hambosiny amin’ ny fandroboana; fa ny dona izay mahalala an’ Andriamaniny kosa dia hifikitra amin’ izany ka hankatò azy.
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.
Ary izay hendry ao amin’ ny olona dia hampianatra ny maro; nefa ho lavon’ ny sabatra sy ny lelafo sy ny famaboana ary ny fandrobana elaela ihany izy.
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.
Ary rehefa lavo izy, dia hahazo famonjena kely; ary maro no hikambana aminy amin’ ny fihatsaram-belatsihy.
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.
Ary hisy ho lavo koa ny manan-tsaina, mba hizahan-toetra sy hanadiovana ary hamotsiana azy ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro farany, fa mbola ho amin’ ny fotoana ihany izany.
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.
Ary ny mpanjaka hanao araka izay sitrapony; ary hisandratra sy hanandra-tena ho ambonin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra izy ka hiteny zavatra mahagaga ny amin’ Andriamanitry ny andriamanitra, ary hambinina ihany izy mandra-pahatanteraky ny fahatezerana; fa izay efa voatendry no tsy maintsy hatao.
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.
Ary tsy hahoany akory ny andriamanitry ny razany, na ny fitiavan’ ny vehivavy; eny, tsy hahoany akory izay andriamanitra, fa hanandra-tena noho izy rehetra izy.
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.
Fa ny andriamanitry ny fiarovana mafy no hankalazainy hisolo izany; ary volamena sy volafotsy sy vato soa ary zavatra mahafinaritra no ho entiny mankalaza ny andriamanitra izay tsy fantatry ny razany.
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.
Dia homban’ ny andriamani-kafa izy ka hamely ny batery mafy indrindra, ary izay manaiky azy dia homeny voninahitra be sady hataony mpanapaka ny maro, ary hozarainy ho azy ny tany ho valim-pitia.
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.
Ary amin’ ny faran’ ny andro dia hanoto azy ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo; ary ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra koa ho avy hamely azy toy ny tafio-drivotra ka hitondra kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly ary sambo maro; ary hiditra amin’ ny tany izy ka hanerana toy ny safotra.
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.
Hiditra ao amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra koa izy, ary maro no ho ripaka; fa izao kosa no ho afa-mandositra ny tànany: Edoma sy Moaba ary ireo lohan’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
42 And his hand will be stretched out on the countries: and the land of the south will not be safe from him.
Haninjitra ny tànany amin’ ny tany sasany koa izy; ary ny tany Egypta tsy ho afa-mandositra.
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.
Fa hahalasa ny rakitra volamena sy volafotsy ary ny zava-tsoan’ i Egypta rehetra izy; ary ny Libyana sy ny Etiopiana hanaraka azy.
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.
Fa hisy siosion-teny avy any atsinanana sy avy any avaratra haharaiki-tahotra azy, ka dia hivoaka amin’ ny fahatezerana be izy handrava sy handringana maro.
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.
Ary haoriny eo anelanelan’ ny ranomasina sy ny tendrombohitra masìna mahafinaritra ny trano-lainy izay lapany; nefa ho tonga ao amin’ ny hiafarany ihany izy, ka tsy hisy hamonjy azy.
