Daniel 11

1 “And so, from the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood firm, so that he might be reinforced and strengthened.

Ko ahau, i tu ake ahau i te tau tuatahi o Tariuha Meri, ki te whakau, ki te whakakaha i a ia.

2 And now I will announce to you the truth. Behold, up to a certain point, three kings will stand in Persia, and the fourth will be exceedingly enriched in power above them all. And when he has grown strong by his resources, he will stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.

Na, ka whakaatu ahau inaianei ki a koe i te pono. Nana, tera e ara ake ano etahi atu kingi e toru i Pahia; a, ko te tuawha, ka nui noa atu nga taonga i o te katoa. Na, kia kaha ia i ona taonga, ka whakaohokia e ia te katoa ki te whawhai ki te kin gitanga o Kariki.

3 But there will rise up a strong king, and he will rule with great power, and he will do what he pleases.

Na tera e tu ake tetahi kingi marohirohi, he nui tona kingitanga e kingi ai ia, a ka mahia e ia tana e pai ai.

4 And when he has been firmly established, his kingdom will be shattered and will be divided towards the four winds of the heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom will be torn to pieces, even for the outsiders who have been expelled from these.

A, ina tu ake ia, ka pakaru tona kingitanga, ka wehewehea atu ki nga hau e wha o te rangi; kahore ia ki o muri i a ia, e kore ano e rite ki tona kingitanga i kingi ai ia; no te mea ka hutia atu tona kingitanga, mo etahi atu ano ia ehara nei i ene i.

5 And the king of the South will be reinforced, yet one of his leaders will prevail over him, and he will rule with riches, for great is his domain.

Na ka kaha te kingi o te tonga, me tetahi o ana rangatira; ka neke ake ano tona kaha ki runga ake i to tera, a ka kingi; hei kingitanga nui tona kingitanga.

6 And after the end of years, they will form a federation, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to make friendship, but she will not obtain the strength of arms, neither will her offspring stand firm, and she will be handed over, along with those who brought her, her young men, and those who comforted her in these times.

Na i te mutunga o nga tau ka honoa raua, ka haere mai hoki te tamahine a te kingi o te tonga, ki te kingi o te raki ki te whakarite tikanga: otiia e kore e mau i taua wahine te kaha o tona ringa; e kore ano e tu te tane me tona ringa: heoi ka tuk ua atu te wahine, me te hunga nana ia i kawe mai, me te matua tane nana nei ia, me tona kaiwhakakaha i aua wa.

7 And a transplant from the germination of her roots will stand up, and he will come with an army, and will enter into the province of the king of the North, and he will abuse them, and will hold it fast.

Otiia tera e tu ake tetahi i tona wahi, he manga no nga pakiaka o te wahine, a ka haere mai ki te taua, ka tomo ki te pa o te kingi o te raki, a ka mahi i roto i a ratou, ka kaha ano:

8 And, in addition, he will carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven images, and likewise their precious vessels of gold and silver. He will prevail against the king of the North.

Ka whakaraua ano e ia o ratou atua, a ratou whakapakoko whakarewa, a ratou oko ano hoki e matenuitia ana, nga mea hiriwa, nga mea koura ka kawea ki Ihipa; a ka mutu tana whawhai ki te kingi o te raki mo etahi tau.

9 And the king of the South will enter into the kingdom, and will return to his own land.

A ka haere ia ki te kingitanga o te kingi o te tonga, engari ka hoki ano ia ki tona ake whenua.

10 But his sons will be challenged, and they will assemble a multitude of very many forces. And he will arrive rushing and overflowing. And he will be turned back, and he will be enraged, and he will join the battle in his redness.

Na ka whawhai ana tama, a ka huihuia e ratou he ope, he maha nga taua: na ka haere mai aua ope, kei te waipuke te rite, a puta rawa atu: a ka hoki ratou, ka whawhai, a tae tonu ki to tera pa.

11 And the king of the South, having being challenged, will go forth and will fight against the king of the North, and he will prepare an exceedingly great multitude, and a multitude will be given into his hand.

Na ka riri te kingi o te tonga, a ka puta mai, ka whawhai ki a ia, ara ki te kingi o te raki; a he nui te ope e ara i tenei, a ka hoatu te ope ki to tera ringa.

12 And he will seize a multitude, and his heart will be exalted, and he will cast down many thousands, but he will not prevail.

A ka whakaarahia te ope, ka kake tona ngakau: a ka whakataka e ia nga mano tini, otiia e kore ia e whai kaha.

13 For the king of the North will change strategy and will prepare a multitude much greater than before, and at the end of times and years, he will rush forward with a great army and exceedingly great resources.

Na ka hoki mai te kingi o te raki, maha atu hoki i o mua te ope e ara i a ia; a, ka tae mai ia i te mutunga o etahi wa, ara o nga tau, he nui tana ope, he nui nga taonga.

14 And in those times, many will rise up against the king of the South. And likewise the sons of the deceivers among your people will extol themselves, so as to fulfill the vision, and they will collapse.

I aua wa he tokomaha e whakatika ki te kingi o te tonga: ka whakakake ano nga tama tutu o tou iwi, kia tutuki ai te kite ra; otiia ka taka ratou.

15 And the king of the North will arrive and will transport siege works, and he will seize the most fortified cities. And the arms of the South will not withstand him, and his elect will rise up to resist, but the strength will not.

Heoi ka haere mai te kingi o te raki; ka haupuria ake ano he pukepuke e ia, a ka riro i a ia te pa he nui rawa nei te taiepa: e kore ano nga ringa o te tonga e u, e kore ano tana iwi i whiriwhiri ai, kahore he kaha e u ai.

16 And when he arrives, he will do just as he pleases, and there will be none who stand against his face. And he will stand in the illustrious land, and it will be consumed by his hand.

Otiia ko tenei ka haere mai nei ki a ia, ka mahia e ia tana e pai ai, e kore ano tetahi e tu ki tona aroaro: na ka tu ia ki te whenua ataahua, a kei tona ringa te whakangaromanga.

17 And he will set his face to strive to hold his entire kingdom, and he will make fair conditions with him. And he will give him a daughter among women, so as to overthrow it. But she will not stand, neither will she be for him.

Ka anga ano tona mata, ka mea kia haere mai ia i runga i te kaha o tona kingitanga katoa, me te hunga tika ano hei hoa mona; na ka mahi ia i tana e pai ai: ka homai ano e ia ki a ia te tamahine a nga wahine, hei takakino mana: otiia e kore tera e tu, e kore hoki e mahi mona.

18 And he will turn his face towards the islands, and he will seize many. And he will cause the leader of his reproach to cease, and his reproach will be turned around for him.

I muri i tenei ka tahuri tona mata ki nga motu, a he maha e riro i a ia: otiia ma tetahi rangatira e mea kia mutu te ingoa kino e tapaea ana e ia: ae ra, ka meinga e ia tana whakaingoa kino kia hoki ki a ia ano.

19 And he will turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he will strike, and will overthrow, but he will not succeed.

Katahi tona mata ka tahuri atu ki nga pa o tona whenua; otiia ka tutuki ona waewae, a ka hinga ia, kore ake e kitea.

20 And there will stand up in his place one who is most worthless and unworthy of kingly honor. And in a short time, he will be worn out, but not in fury, nor in battle.

Katahi ka tu ake i tona wahi tetahi mana e mea he kaitono takoha kia takahi i roto i te kororia o te kingitanga: otiia kia torutoru ake nga ra ka whakangaromia ai, kahore he riri, kahore hoki he whawhai.

21 And there will stand up in his place the despicable one, and he will not be assigned the honor of a king. And he will arrive in secret, and he will obtain the kingdom by deceitfulness.

Ka whakatika ake ano ki runga ki tona wahi tetahi tangata e whakahaweatia ana, ehara nei te kororia o te rangatiratanga i te mea hoatu ki a ia: ka haere mai ia i te wa ata noho, a ka riro i a ia te kingitanga, na te patipati.

22 And the arms of the fighting will be assaulted before his face and will be shattered, and, in addition, the leader of the federation.

A ka taupokina ratou e nga ringa o te waipuke i tona aroaro, mongamonga noa ratou; me te rangatira ano hoki o te kawenata.

23 And, after making friends, he will trick him, and he will go up and will overcome with a small people.

I muri ano i tana whakaaetanga korero ka mahi tinihanga ia: ka haere mai hoki ia, a ka kaha, he torutoru ano hoki ana tangata.

24 And he will enter into rich and resourceful cities, and he will do what his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and will form a plan against the most steadfast, and this until a time.

Hei te wa ata noho ka tae mai ia ki nga wahi momona ra ano o te kawanatanga; ka mahia e ia nga mea kihai i mahia e ona matua, e nga matua o ona matua; ka titaria ano e ia nga mea parakete, nga mea pahua, nga taonga, ki roto ki a ratou: ae ra, ka whakaaroa ano e ia ona whakaaro mo nga pa, a kia taka ra ano tetahi taima.

25 And his strength and his heart will be enraged against the king of the South with a great army. And the king of the South will be provoked into going to war by having many allies and exceedingly good circumstances, and yet these will not stand, for they will form plans against him.

Ka whakaohokia ano e ia tona kaha me tona maia ki te whawhai ki te kingi o te tonga, he nui te ope; ka oho ano hoki te kingi o te tonga, ka whawhai, he ope nui atu, he kaha atu; otiia e kore ia e tu: no te mea ka whakaaroa e ratou he whakaaro ki no mona.

26 And those who eat bread with him will crush him, and his army will be suppressed, and very many will die, having been executed.

Ina, ka pakaru ia i te hunga i kai i tana wahi kai, ko te taua hoki a tera kei te waipuke te rite: he tokomaha ano e hinga, mate rawa.

27 And the heart of two kings will be similar, to do harm, and they will speak lies at one table, but they will not succeed, because as yet the end is for another time.

Na ko enei kingi tokorua, ko o raua ngakau ka mea mo te kino, a ka korero teka raua i te tepu kotahi; otiia kahore he painga; ka noho tonu mai hoki te mutunga, hei te wa i whakaritea.

28 And he will return to his land with many resources. And his heart will be against the holy testament, and he will act, and he will return to his own land.

Hei reira ia ka hoki ki tona whenua me nga taonga maha; a ko tona ngakau ka mea ki te takahi i te kawenata tapu; ka mahi ia i tana e pai ai, a ka hoki atu ki tona whenua.

29 At the appointed time, he will return, and he will approach the South, but the latter time will not be like the former.

I te wa i whakaritea ka hoki ia, a ka haere mai ki te tonga; otiia e kore e rite to muri nei ki to mua ra.

30 And the Greek warships and the Romans will come upon him, and he will be pierced, and will retreat, and will have scorn against the testament of the sanctuary, and he will act. And he will return and will consult their adversaries, who have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.

No te mea ka rere mai nga kaipuke o Kitimi ki te whawhai ki a ia. Na ka pouri ia, a ka hoki, ka riri ki te kawenata tapu, a ka mahi ia i tana e pai ai; a ka tino hoki ia, ka whai whakaaro ki te hunga i whakarerea ai te kawenata tapu.

31 And arms will take his side, and they will pollute the sanctuary of the strength, and they will take away the continual sacrifice and will replace it with the abomination of desolation.

Ka ara ano etahi ringa hei whakauru mona, a ka whakapokea te wahi tapu, ara te wahi kaha, ka whakakahoretia ano e ratou te patunga tapu, te mea tuturu, ka tu ano i a ratou te mea whakarihariha, te mea whakangaro.

32 And the impious within the testament will imitate deceitfully, but the people, knowing their God, will persevere and will act.

Na, ko te hunga e mahi kino ana ki te kawenata ka whakangaua ketia e ia, he mea whakapati nana: ko te hunga ia e mohio ana ki to ratou Atua, ka kaha ratou, ka mahi i nga mahi.

33 And the teachers among the people will teach many, but they will be ruined by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by assaults for many days.

Na, ko te hunga whakaaro nui i roto i te iwi, he tokomaha a ratou e whakaako ai: otiia he maha nga ra e hinga ai ratou i te hoari, i te mura, i te whakarau, i te pahua.

34 And when they have fallen, they will be supported with a little help, but many will apply to them deceitfully.

A ka hinga ratou, ka awhinatia mai ratou, he iti ia te awhina: he tokomaha ia e piri ki a ratou, he mea whakapati.

35 And some of the learned will be ruined, that they may be kindled and chosen and purified, up to the predetermined time, because there will be still another time.

Ka hinga ano etahi o te hunga matau, he mea e tahia ai to ratou para, e pokekore ai, e ma ai ratou, a taea noatia te wa o te whakamutunga: no te mea ko taua mea mo te wa ra ano i whakaritea.

36 And the king will act according to his will, and he will be lifted up and will be extolled against every god. And he will speak great things against the God of gods, and he will control, until the passion is completed. Once accomplished, the limit is reached with certainty.

Ka mahia ano e te kingi tana e pai ai; ka whakaneke ake ano i a ia, ka whakanui i a ia ki runga ake i nga atua katoa, he whakamaharo ano ana whakapehapeha mo te Atua o nga atua; ka kake ano ia, taea noatia te whakapotonga o te riri: ka mahia hok i te mea i whakaritea.

37 And he will give no thought to the God of his fathers, and he will be in the desire of women, and he will not attend to any gods, because he will rise up against all things.

E kore ano ia e whai whakaaro ki nga atua o ona matua, e hiahia ranei ki te wahine, e kore ano e whai whakaaro ki tetahi atua: no te mea ko ia tana e whakanui ai ki runga ake i te katoa.

38 But he will do homage to the god Maozim in his place, and, a god whom his fathers did not know, he will worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and costly things.

Otiia i tona wahi ano ka whakahonoretia e ia te atua o nga wahi kaha; he atua kihai i mohiotia e ona matua tana e whakahonore ai ki te koura, ki te hiriwa, ki te kohatu utu nui, ki nga mea e matenuitia ana.

39 And he will act to reinforce Maozim with an alien god, of whom he has become aware, and he will increase their glory, and will give them power over many, and he will distribute land for free.

Ko tana tenei e mea ai i nga wahi tino kaha, a ko tona hoa ko tetahi atua ke; ko te tangata e whakaae ana ki a ia ka whakanuia e ia ki te kororia: a ka meinga ratou e ia hei kawana mo nga tangata tokomaha, ka wehewehea ano hoki e ia te whenua mo tetahi utu.

40 And, at the predetermined time, the king of the South will fight against him, and the king of the North will come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great fleet, and he will enter into the lands, and will crush and pass through.

A i nga wa o te mutunga ka whawhai te kingi o te tonga ki a ia: a ka kokiri mai te kingi o te raki ano he paroro te rite, me nga hariata, me nga kaieke hoiho, me nga kaipuke maha; a ka tomo ia ki nga whenua, ka paaha me te waipuke, a tika tonu a tu.

41 And he will enter into the glorious land, and many will fall. But only these will be saved from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the first part of the sons of Ammon.

Ka tae ano ia ki te whenua ataahua, a he maha nga whenua e hinga: ko enei ia e mawhiti i roto i tona ringa, ko Eroma, ko Moapa, ko nga upoko o nga tama a Amona.

42 And he will cast his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape.

Ka totoro ano tona ringa ki nga whenua: e kore ano te whenua o Ihipa e mawhiti.

43 And he will rule over the treasure chests of gold, and silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and likewise he will pass through Libya and Ethiopia.

Otiia ka noho ko ia hei rangatira mo nga taonga, ara mo te koura, mo te hiriwa, mo nga mea katoa o Ihipa e matenuitia ana; a ka whai nga Rupimi me nga Etiopiana i ona takahanga.

44 And rumors from the East and from the North will trouble him. And he will arrive with a great multitude to destroy and to execute many.

Otiia ka raruraru ia i nga korero i te rawhiti, i te raki; na he nui te riri e puta mai ai ia, a he tokomaha ana e whakangaro ai, e huna ai.

45 And he will fasten his tabernacle, Apadno, between the seas, upon an illustrious and holy mountain, and he will come even to its summit, and no one will help him.”

A ka whakaturia e ia nga teneti o tona whare kingi, ki waenganui o te moana, o te maunga tapu ataahua; otiia ka tae ia ki tona mutunga, kahore hoki he awhina mona.
