< 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.
Pea ko au foki ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Talaiasi ko e Mitia, ʻio, ko au, naʻaku tuʻu hake ke fakatuʻumaʻu mo tokoni kiate ia.
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.
Pea ko eni, te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae moʻoni. “Vakai, ʻe toetuʻu hake ʻi Peasia, ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolu; pea ko hono fā ʻe koloaʻia lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mālohi koeʻuhi ko ʻene koloa, te ne ueʻi kotoa pē ke tali tuʻu ki he puleʻanga ʻo Kalisi.
3 And a strong king will come to power, ruling with great authority and doing whatever is his pleasure.
“Pea ʻe tuʻu hake ha tuʻi mālohi, ʻaia ʻe pule ʻaki ʻae pule lahi, pea ne fai ʻo fakatatau mo hono loto.
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.
Pea ʻoka ne tuʻu hake ia ʻe mafesi hono puleʻanga, pea ʻe movetevete ia ki he feituʻu matangi ʻe fā ʻoe langi, ka e ʻikai ki hono hako, pea ʻe ʻikai tatau ia mo hono puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻa ne puleʻi: he koeʻuhi ʻe taʻaki hono puleʻanga, koeʻuhi ko e niʻihi kehe, ka e ʻikai koeʻuhi ko kinautolu pe.
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.
“Pea ʻe mālohi ʻae tuʻi mei he potu tonga, mo e tokotaha ʻi hono houʻeiki; pea ʻe mālohi hake ia ʻiate ia, pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae pule; pea ko ʻene pule ʻe hoko ko e pule lahi.
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.
Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi taʻu te nau fakataha ʻakinautolu: he ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga, ʻe haʻu ia ki he tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, ke fai ha fuakava mo ia: ka e ʻikai maʻu kiate ia ʻae mālohi ʻoe nima; pea ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ia, ʻaia pe ko hono nima: ka e tukuange ʻae fefine, mo kinautolu naʻa nau omi mo ia, mo ia naʻa ne tupu ai, pea mo ia naʻe tokoni ki ai ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ko ia.
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:
Ka e tupu hake mei hono mangaʻi aka ʻe taha ha tokotaha ʻi hono tofiʻa, ʻaia ʻe hoko mai mo e kau tau, pea ʻe hū ia ki he kolo ʻoe tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, pea te nau fai mo ia, pea te ne ikuna:
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.
Pea ʻe ʻave pōpula foki ki ʻIsipite, ʻa honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea mo honau houʻeiki, pea mo ʻenau ngaahi ipu mahuʻinga, ko e siliva mo e koula; pea ʻe lahi hono taʻu ʻoʻona, ʻi he tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau.
9 And he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will go back to his land.
Ko ia ʻe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga ki hono puleʻanga, pea toki foki atu ki hono fonua ʻoʻona.
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.
Ka e ueʻi ai hono ngaahi foha, pea te nau tānaki ʻae fuʻu kau tau tokolahi; pea ko honau tokotaha ʻe haʻu moʻoni ia ʻo kāpui, mo ʻalu atu: pea ʻe toki foki mai ia, pea ʻe toe hiki ʻe ia ʻae tau, ʻo aʻu ki heʻene kolo.
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.
Pea ʻe ngaue ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga ʻi he tuputāmaki kiate ia, pea ʻe haʻu ia ʻo tau mo ia, ʻio, mo e tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau; pea ʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae fuʻu tokolahi kiate ia, ka e tuku ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ki hono nima.
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.
Pea ʻoka ne ka fetuku atu ʻae fuʻu tokolahi, ʻe fakahikihiki hono loto; pea te ne lī ki lalo ʻae ngaahi toko mano lahi: ka e ʻikai te ne mālohi ai.
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.
He koeʻuhi ʻe toe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, pea te ne ʻomi mo e fuʻu tokolahi, ʻo lahi hake ʻi he ʻuluaki, ʻoku pau pe ke toe hoko mai ia mo e fuʻu kau tau, pea mo e koloa lahi, ʻoka hili ʻae ngaahi taʻu.
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.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ko ia ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tokolahi ki he tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga; pea ko e kau kaihaʻa ʻi hoʻo kakai foki, te nau hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae meʻa hā mai; ka te nau hinga.
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.
Ko ia ʻe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, pea keli kolo, pea ʻe ikuʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo kuo ʻāʻi mālohi: pea ko e mahafu ʻoe potu tonga ʻe ʻikai faʻa taʻofi ki ai, pe ko ʻene kakai fili, pea ʻe ʻikai siʻi ha mālohi ke taʻofi.
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.
Ka ko ia ʻoku haʻu kiate ia ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻa ʻene faʻiteliha, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ha tokotaha ʻi hono ʻao: pea ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he fonua ʻoe monūʻia, pea ʻe fakaʻauha foki ia ʻi hono nima.
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.
Pea ʻe fakahangatonu hono mata foki ke hū ki ai mo e mālohi kotoa ʻo hono puleʻanga, mo e matamata fai totonu; ʻe pehē pe ʻene fai: pea neongo ʻene foaki kiate ia ʻae fungani ʻi he kau fefine, ke kākaaʻi: ka ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ia kiate ia, pe kau mo ia.
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.
Pea hili ia ʻe fakahangatonu, hono mata ki he ngaahi ʻotu motu, pea te ne maʻu ia ʻo lahi: ka e ʻi ai ʻae ʻeikitau ʻe taha te ne fakangata ʻa ʻene polepole mai, pea ʻe liliu ʻe ia ʻae manuki ke toe hoko kiate ia pe.
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.
Pea hili ia te ne toki fakahangatonu hono mata ke ʻalu ki he kolo ʻo hono fonua: ka te ne tūkia mo humu, pea ʻe ʻikai kei ʻiloʻi ia.
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.
Pea ʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻi hono tuʻunga ʻoʻona ha taha fakatupu tukuhau ʻi he nāunau ʻoe puleʻanga: ka e ʻaho siʻi pe pea ʻe ʻauha ia, ka e ʻikai ʻi he ʻita, pe ʻi he tau.
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.
Pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻi hono potu ʻoʻona ha tokotaha fakalielia, ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ki ai ʻae nāunau ʻoe puleʻanga: ka te ne hoko ki ai ʻi he melino, pea te ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he lapu.
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.
Pea ʻe melemo ʻakinautolu ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he malofa mai ʻae mahafutau ʻo hangē ko e vai, pea ʻe maumauʻi ia, ʻio, ʻe ia mo e ʻEiki naʻe fai ʻae fuakava;
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,
Pea ka hili ʻa ʻena fai fuakava mo ia, te ne fai kākā: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ia, pea te ne hoko ʻo mālohi ka ko e kakai tokosiʻi.
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.
He te ne hoko ʻi he melino pe ʻo maʻu ʻae ngaahi potu koloaʻia ʻoe fonua; pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ke fai ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai, pe ko ʻene ngaahi kui; he te ne tufa kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa kuo maʻu ʻi he mālohi, mo e meʻa maʻu ʻi he tau, mo e koloa: pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻene fakakaukau ki he ngaahi potu mālohi, ʻio, ʻi ha kuonga.
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;
Pea te ne langaʻi ʻene mālohi, pea ʻe toʻa hono loto ki he tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga mo e fuʻu kau tau; pea ʻe ngaue ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga ke tau mo e kau tau tokolahi fakamanavahē; ka e ʻikai te ne tuʻumaʻu: koeʻuhi te nau fakakaukauʻi ʻae ngaahi tauhele kiate ia.
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.
ʻIo, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻi heʻene meʻakai, te nau tāmateʻi ia, pea ko ʻene kautau ʻe movete: pea ʻe tō ʻo mate ʻae tokolahi.
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.
Pea ʻe loto ʻae ongo tuʻi ni fakatouʻosi pe ke fai kovi, pea te na lea loi ʻi he keinangaʻanga pe taha ka e ʻikai lava: he ko e ngataʻanga ʻe hoko pe ia ʻi he kuonga kuo kotofa.
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.
“Pea ʻe toki foki atu ia ki hono fonua mo e koloa lahi; pea ʻe kovi hono loto ki he fuakava māʻoniʻoni; pea te ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, pea foki atu ki hono fonua.
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.
Pea ʻi he kuonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni te ne foki mai, pea haʻu ki he potu tonga; ka e ʻikai hangē ko e fuofua haʻu, pe ko ia kimui.
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.
Koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae ngaahi vaka mei Kitimi: ko ia te ne mamahi ai, pea foki, pea ʻe lahi ʻene ʻita ki he fuakava māʻoniʻoni: ʻe pehē ʻa ʻene fai; ʻio, ʻe liu mai ia, pea toki alea mo kinautolu ʻoku siʻaki ʻae fuakava māʻoniʻoni
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.
Pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae mahafutau ʻo kau mo ia, pea te nau fakaʻuliʻi ʻae potu tapu ʻoe mālohi pea te nau ʻave ʻae feilaulau ʻaho, pea te nau fokotuʻu ʻae meʻa fakalielia ʻoku fakaʻulia.
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.
Pea te ne fakalotokoviʻi ʻi he lapu ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai kovi ki he fuakava, ka e mālohi ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻilo honau ʻOtua, pea te nau fai meʻa lahi.
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.
Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku poto ʻi he kakai, te nau akonekina ʻae tokolahi: ka te nau tō ʻi he heletā, mo e afi, mo e pōpula, mo e fakamālohi, ʻo ʻaho lahi.
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.
Pea ʻoka nau ka tō, ʻe tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae tokoni siʻi: ka e pikitai ʻae tokolahi kiate kinautolu ʻi he lapu.
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.
Pea ʻe tō ha niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku poto, koeʻuhi ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ke fakamaʻa, mo fakahinehina, ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ʻoe ngataʻanga: koeʻuhi ʻoku kei ai ʻae kuonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni.
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.
Pea ʻe fai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo fakatatau mo hono loto; pea te ne hakeakiʻi ʻe ia ia, mo fakahikihikiʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē, pea te ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamanavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, pea ʻe monūʻia ia, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae houhau: he ko ia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe fai pe ia.
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.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pe ko e holi ki he fefine, pe tokanga ki ha ʻotua ʻe taha: he koeʻuhi te ne hakeakiʻi ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.
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.
Ka e fakaʻapaʻapa ia ki he ʻotua ʻoe mālohi, pea ko e ʻotua naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai, te ne fakaʻapaʻapa ki ai ʻaki ʻae koula mo e siliva, pea mo e ngaahi maka koloa, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fai ki ai ʻae manako.
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.
ʻE pehē pe ʻene fai ʻi he ngaahi potu mālohi, mo e ʻotua foʻou, ʻaia te ne fakahā mo fakanāunauʻia: pea te ne fai ke nau pule ki he tokolahi; pea te nau vahevahe ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ke maʻu koloa.
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.
“Pea ʻi he kuonga ʻamui ʻe fakatuʻotuʻa ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga kiate ia: pea ʻe ʻoho kiate ia ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiohio, mo e ngaahi saliote, mo e kau tau heka hoosi, pea mo e ngaahi vaka lahi; pea te ne hū ki he ngaahi fonua, pea te ne mafola atu ai
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.
Te ne hū foki ki he fonua ʻoe monūʻia, pea ʻe lahi ʻae fonua kehekehe ʻe fulihi: ka e hao pe mei hono nima ʻae ngaahi fonua ni, ʻio, ʻa ʻItomi mo Moape, mo e tokolahi ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
42 And his hand will be stretched out on the countries: and the land of the south will not be safe from him.
Te ne mafao atu hono nima foki ki he ngaahi fonua; pea ʻe ʻikai hao ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsipite.
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.
Pea te ne pule ki he koloa, ʻoe koula, mo e siliva, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite: pea ko e kau Lipea mo e kau ʻItiopea, te nau muimui ʻiate ia.
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.
Ka te ne mamahi ʻia ʻi he ongoongo mei he potu hahake, pea mo e potu tokelau, ko ia te ne ʻalu atu ʻi he ʻita lahi, ke fakaʻauha mo fakaʻosiʻosingamālie ʻae tokolahi.
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.
Pea te ne fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo hono nofoʻanga ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi tahi ʻi he moʻunga tapu mo nāunauʻia; kae hoko pe ʻa hono ngataʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe tokoni kiate ia.”
