Daniel 11
1 And from the first year of Darius the Mede I stood up that he might be strengthened and confirmed.
Le Midiatɔ, Darius ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ me la, meɖoe ɖokuinye dzi be made megbe nɛ eye makpɔ eƒe agbe ta.
2 And now I will shew thee the truth. Behold there shall stand yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be enriched exceedingly above them all: and when he shall be grown mighty by his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
“Azɔ la, magblɔ nyateƒe la na wò. Fia etɔ̃ agava zi dzi le Persia, enelia akplɔ wo ɖo, ame si akpɔ hotsui wu fia siwo katã do ŋgɔ nɛ. Ne eva kpɔ ŋusẽ to eƒe hotsuikpɔkpɔ me la, ade adã ta me na amewo katã ɖe Grik fiaɖuƒe la ŋu.
3 But there shall rise up a strong king, and shall rule with great power: and he shall do what he pleaseth.
Emegbe fia sesẽ aɖe ava zi dzi, ame si aɖu fia kple asi sesẽ eye wòawɔ nu sia nu si adze eŋu.
4 And when he shall come to his height, his kingdom shall be broken, and it shall 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 shall be rent in pieces, even for strangers, beside these.
Ne eva zi dzi teti ko la, woagbã eƒe fiaɖuƒe la, amae ɖe dziƒoya eneawo dzi. Fiaɖuƒe la manɔ anyi na eƒe dzidzimeviwo alo wòawɔ ŋusẽ si le esi la ŋu dɔ o, elabena woaxɔ eƒe fiaɖuƒe la atsɔ ana ame bubuwo.
5 And the king of the south shall be strengthened, and one of his princes shall prevail over him, and he shall rule with great power: for his dominion shall be great.
“Dziehefia akpɔ ŋusẽ ɖe edzi gake eƒe aʋafiawo dometɔ ɖeka akpɔ ŋusẽ wui gɔ̃ hã eye wòaɖu fia ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe fiaɖuƒe dzi kple ŋusẽ triakɔ.
6 And after the end of years they shall be in league together: and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make friendship, but she shall not obtain the strength of the arm, neither shall her seed stand: and she shall be given up, and her young men that brought her, and they that strengthened her in these times.

7 And a plant of the bud of her roots, shall stand up: and he shall come with an army, and shall enter into the province of the king of the north: and he shall abuse them, and shall prevail.
“Ke ame ado tso eƒe ƒome me axɔ ɖe eteƒe. Aho aʋa ɖe Anyiehefia ƒe aʋakɔwo ŋu eye wòage ɖe eƒe mɔ sesẽ la me awɔ aʋa kpli wo eye wòaɖu wo dzi.
8 And he shall also carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven things, and their precious vessels of gold and silver: he shall prevail against the king of the north.
Axɔ woƒe mawuwo le wo si, woƒe gayibɔlegbawo kple woƒe nu vevi siwo nye klosalo kple sika eye wòatsɔ wo adzoe ayi Egipte. Ana gbɔdzɔe Anyiehefia ƒe aɖewo.
9 And the king of the south shall enter into the kingdom, and shall return to his own land.
Emegbe la, Anyiehefia ava dze Dziehefia ƒe nuto me dzi gake agbugbɔ ayi eya ŋutɔ ƒe dukɔ me.
10 And his sons shall be provoked, and they shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and he shall come with haste like a flood: and he shall return and be stirred up, and he shall join battle with his forces.

11 And the king of the south being provoked shall go forth, and shall fight against the king of the north, and shall prepare an exceeding great multitude, and a multitude shall be given into his hand.
“Tete Dziehefia atsɔ dziku helĩhelĩ awɔ aʋa kple Anyiehefia, ame si ava kple aʋakɔ gã aɖe gake woaɖu edzi.
12 And he shall take a multitude, and his heart shall be lifted up, and he shall cast down many thousands: but he shall not prevail.
Dziehefia ayɔ fũu kple dada nenye be woɖe aboyo Anyiehefia ƒe aʋakɔwo eye woawu ame akpewo gake maɖu dzi ɖaa o,
13 For the king of the north shall return and shall prepare a multitude much greater than before: and in the end of times and years, be shall come in haste with a great army, and much riches.

14 And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south, and the children of prevaricators of thy people shall lift up themselves to fulfill the vision, and they shall fall.
“Le ŋkeke mawo me la, ame geɖewo atso ɖe Dziehefia ŋuti. Ame dzeaglã siwo le woawo ŋutɔ ƒe amewo dome la adze aglã le ŋutega la ƒe nya nu gake womaɖu dzi o.
15 And the king of the north shall come, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take the best fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up to resist, and they shall not have strength.

16 And he shall come upon him and do according to his pleasure, and there shall be none to stand against his face: and he shall stand in the glorious land, and it shall be consumed by his hand.

17 And he shall set his face to come to possess all his kingdom, and he shall make upright conditions with him: and he shall give him a daughter of women, to overthrow it: and she shall not stand, neither shall she be for him.

18 And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many: and he shall cause the prince of his reproach to cease, and his reproach shall be turned upon him.

19 And he shall turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he shall stumble, and fall, and shall not be found.

20 And there shall stand up in his place, one most vile, and unworthy of kingly honour: and in a few days he shall be destroyed, not in rage nor in battle.
“Ame si axɔ ɖe eteƒe la ana dugadzɔlawo natsa adzɔ ga be woalé fiaɖuƒe la ƒe atsyɔ̃ ɖe te. Ke le ƒe ʋɛ aɖewo megbe la, woatsrɔ̃e, ke menye le dziku me loo alo le aʋagbedzi o.
21 And there shall stand up in his place one despised, and the kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and shall obtain the kingdom by fraud.
“Ame ɖigbɔ̃ aɖe ava ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe, ame si womatsɔ fianyenye ƒe bubu na o. Ke ne ameawo nɔ anyi le dedinɔnɔ me bɔkɔɔ la, ava ƒo ɖe wo dzi le vo me le fiaɖuƒe la me eye wòaxɔe to ayemɔ dzi.
22 And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before his face, and shall be broken; yea also the prince of the covenant.
Akplɔ aʋakɔ gã si gbagbã ɖe anyi la adzoe eye wòatsrɔ̃ aʋakɔ la kple nubabla la ƒe amegã siaa.
23 And after friendships, he will deal deceitfully with him: and he shall go up, and shall overcome with a small people.
Ne wonyi dzo kplii vɔ la, awɔ nu ayetɔe eye wòato ame ʋɛ siwo susɔ la dzi ava zi dzi.
24 And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities: and he shall do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers: he shall scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time.

25 And his strength and his heart shall be stirred up against the king of the south with a great army: and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with many and very strong succours: and they shall not stand, for they shall form designs against him.
“Atsɔ aʋakɔ gã aɖe ade dzo eƒe ŋusẽ kple dzideƒo me ɖe Dziehefia ŋu. Dziehefia la akpe aʋa kplii kple aʋakɔ gã sesẽ dranyi aɖe gake mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe enu o, le nugbe si wòɖo ɖe eŋu la ta.
26 And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain.

27 And the heart of the two kings shall be to do evil, and they shall speak lies at one table, and they shall not prosper: because as yet the end is unto another time.

28 And he shall return into his land with much riches: and his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall succeed and shall return into his own land.

29 At the time appointed he shall return, and he shall come to the south, but the latter time shall not be like the former.
“Ne ɣeyiɣi si woɖo, de la, agava adze Dziehenyigba dzi, ke emetsonu maganɔ nɛ fifia abe tsã ene o
30 And the galleys and the Romans shall come upon him, and he shall be struck, and shall return, and shall have indignation against the covenant of the sanctuary, and he shall succeed: and he shall return and shall devise against them that have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.

31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall defile the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the continual sacrifice, and they shall place there the abomination unto desolation.

32 And such as deal wickedly against the covenant shall deceitfully dissemble: but the people that know their God shall prevail and succeed.

33 And they that are learned among the people shall teach many: and they shall fall by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by spoil for many days.
“Nunyalawo afia nu ame geɖewo, togbɔ be le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, woatsi yi nu alo woatɔ dzo wo alo woalé wo loo alo aha wo hã.
34 And when they shall have fallen they shall be relieved with a small help: and many shall be joined to them deceitfully.
Ne wodze anyi la, woakpe ɖe wo ŋu vie eye ame geɖe siwo metoa nyateƒe o la aku ɖe wo ŋu.
35 And some of the learned shall fall, that they may be tried, and may be chosen, and made white even to the appointed time, because yet there shall be another time.

36 And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall be lifted up, and shall magnify himself against every god: and he shall speak great things against the God of gods, and shall prosper, till the wrath be accomplished. For the determination is made.
“Fia la awɔ nu si adze eŋu. Ado eɖokui ɖe dzi eye wòawɔ eɖokui gãe wu mawu ɖe sia ɖe ale be wòagblɔ nya masekpɔwo ɖe mawuwo dzi Mawu la ŋuti. Nuwo adze edzi nɛ va se ɖe dziku ɣeyiɣiawo ƒe nuwuwu elabena ele be woawu nu si woɖo ɖi la nu.
37 And he shall make no account of the God of his fathers: and he shall follow the lust of women, and he shall not regard any gods: for he shall rise up against all things.

40 And at the time prefixed the king of the south shall fight against him, and the king of the north shall come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great navy, and he shall enter into the countries, and shall destroy, and pass through.
