< Daniel 11 >
1 And from the first year of Darius the Mede I stood up that he might be strengthened and confirmed.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mbere wa Dario, ũcio Mũmedia, nĩndarũgamire nake ndĩmũteithĩrĩrie na ndĩmwĩkĩre hinya.)
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.
“Na rĩu, nĩngũkwĩra ũhoro wa ma: Athamaki angĩ atatũ nĩmakarahũka a kũu Perisia, na thuutha ũcio kwarahũke ũngĩ wa kana, ũrĩa ũgaatonga gũkĩra acio angĩ othe. Na rĩrĩa akaagĩa na hinya mũnene nĩ ũndũ wa ũtonga ũcio wake, nĩakarahũra andũ othe mokĩrĩre ũthamaki wa Ũyunani.
3 But there shall rise up a strong king, and shall rule with great power: and he shall do what he pleaseth.
Ningĩ nĩgũkarahũka mũthamaki ũngĩ ũrĩ na hinya makĩria, ũrĩa ũgaathanaga na hinya mũingĩ na ekage o ũrĩa angĩenda gwĩka.
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.
Aarĩkia kwarahũka-rĩ, ũthamaki wake nĩũgatũkana na ũgayanĩrio mĩena ĩna kũrĩa huho iria inya cia matu-inĩ ihurutanagĩra. Naguo ũthamaki wake ndũkagaywo nĩ andũ a rũciaro rwake, kana ũgĩe na hinya ta ũrĩa aarĩ naguo, tondũ ũthamaki wake nĩũgathengio uume harĩo na ũheo andũ angĩ.
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.
“Mũthamaki wa mwena wa gũthini nĩakagĩa na hinya, no ũmwe wa atongoria ake a ita nĩakagĩa na hinya kũmũkĩra, acooke gwathana ũthamaki-inĩ wake na hinya mũnene.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka yathirathira, nĩmagacooka kũiguana. Mwarĩ wa mũthamaki ũcio wa gũthini nĩagathiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki wa gathigathini, nĩguo magĩe na kĩrĩko kĩa ũiguano, no mũtumia ũcio ndagatũũra arĩ na hinya, o na mũthamaki ũcio na hinya wake matigaatũũra. Matukũ-inĩ macio mũtumia ũcio nĩagakunyanĩrwo ooragwo hamwe na ndungata ciake cia ũthamaki, na ithe, o na mũndũ ũrĩa wamũteithagĩrĩria.
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.
“Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe wa rũciaro rwake nĩakarahũka ithenya rĩake. Nake nĩagatharĩkĩra ita rĩa mũthamaki wa gathigathini, na atoonye itũũra rĩake rĩrĩa rĩirigĩre; nĩakarũa nao na amatoorie.
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.
Ningĩ nĩagataha ngai ciao cia mĩhianano, na mĩhianano yao ya kĩgera, na indo ciao cia goro cia betha na cia thahabu acikuue acitware bũrũri wa Misiri. Nĩagatigana na mũthamaki ũcio wa gathigathini ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩigana ũna.
9 And the king of the south shall enter into the kingdom, and shall return to his own land.
Nake mũthamaki wa gathigathini nĩagatharĩkĩra mũthamaki ũcio wa bũrũri wa gũthini, no nĩagacooka ahũndũke nginya bũrũri-inĩ wake.
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.
No ariũ ake nĩmakehaarĩria kũrũa mbaara, macookanĩrĩrie mbũtũ nene ya ita hamwe ĩrĩa ĩkaahaata ta kĩguũ kĩa maaĩ kĩrĩa gĩtangĩhingĩrĩrio, na makinyie mbaara ĩyo nginya itũũra-inĩ rĩake rĩrĩa rĩirigĩre.
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.
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki wa gũthini nĩakoimagara arĩ na marũrũ akahũũrane na mũthamaki ũcio wa gathigathini, ũrĩa ũkaarahũra ita inene, no nĩakahootwo.
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.
Aarĩkia gũtaha mbũtũ ĩyo, mũthamaki ũcio wa gũthini nĩakaiyũrwo nĩ mwĩtĩĩo, na ooragithie andũ ngiri nyingĩ, no rĩrĩ, ũhootani wake ndũgatũũra.
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.
Nĩgũkorwo mũthamaki wa gathigathini nĩagacookanĩrĩria mbũtũ ĩngĩ ya ita nene gũkĩra ya mbere; na thuutha wa mĩaka mĩingĩ nĩakoimagara erekeire kuo arĩ na mbũtũ nene mũno na ĩrĩ na indo ciothe cia mbaara.
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.
“Mahinda-inĩ macio-rĩ, andũ aingĩ nĩmagookĩrĩra mũthamaki ũcio wa gũthini. Andũ a haaro gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ anyu nĩmakarema atĩ nĩgeetha kĩoneki gĩkĩ kĩhinge, no matikahootana.
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.
Nake mũthamaki wa gathigathini nĩagooka aitithie ihumbu cia tĩĩri, irigiicĩrie itũũra inene nĩguo arĩtunyane. Mbũtũ icio cia ita cia kuuma gũthini itikahota kũmwĩtiiria; o na thigari ciao iria njega mũno itigaakorwo na hinya wa gwĩtiiria.
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.
Nake ũcio ũkaamatharĩkĩra nĩageeka o ta ũrĩa ekwĩendera; gũtirĩ ũkaahota kũmwĩtiiria. Nĩakehaanda kũu Bũrũri-inĩ ũcio Mũthaka na akorwo arĩ na hinya wa kũwananga.
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.
Nĩagatua itua kwerekeria hinya wa ũthamaki wake wothe bũrũri-inĩ ũcio, acooke athondeke kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano na mũthamaki wa gũthini. Nake nĩakamũhe mũirĩtu wake amũhikie nĩguo ahote kũgũithia ũthamaki ũcio, no mĩbango ĩyo yake ndĩkahinga kana ĩmũteithie.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩakerekeria meciiria make mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria na atahe maingĩ mamo, no rĩrĩ, mũnene ũmwe wa ita rĩake nĩakaniina mwĩgaatho ũcio wake, na aũgarũre ũmũcookerere.
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.
Thuutha wa ũguo, nĩagacooka erekere matũũra marĩa mairigĩre ma bũrũri wake mwene, no nĩakahĩngwo na agwe ũndũ atagacooka kuonwo rĩngĩ.
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.
“Na rĩrĩ, ũrĩa ũgooka ithenya-inĩ rĩake nĩagatũma mwĩtia wa mbeeca cia igooti atuĩkanĩrie bũrũri ũcio wothe agĩĩtagia igooti, nĩguo atũũrie riiri wa ũthamaki wake. No thuutha wa mĩaka mĩnini nĩakaniinwo, no ndakooragwo na marakara kana ooragĩrwo mbaara-inĩ.
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.
“Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa ũgooka ithenya rĩake agaakorwo arĩ mũndũ wa kũnyararwo mũndũ ũtangĩheo gĩtĩĩo kĩa mũthamaki. Nake nĩakahithũkĩra ũthamaki ũcio rĩrĩa andũ akuo mageciiria atĩ nĩ kũrĩ thayũ, aũtunyane na waara.
22 And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before his face, and shall be broken; yea also the prince of the covenant.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ningĩ, ita rĩrĩ na hinya mũno nĩrĩkahaatwo rĩeherio mbere yake; ita rĩu hamwe na mũnene wa kĩrĩkanĩro nĩmakaniinwo biũ.
23 And after friendships, he will deal deceitfully with him: and he shall go up, and shall overcome with a small people.
Thuutha wa kũgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano nake, nĩagacooka aheenanie, na arĩ na andũ o anini nĩakarahũka agĩe na hinya.
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.
Rĩrĩa mabũrũri marĩa matongu mũno magakorwo marĩ na thayũ, nĩguo akaamatharĩkĩra na eke maũndũ marĩa maithe make o na kana maithe make ma tene matekire. Nĩakagaĩra arũmĩrĩri ake ũtonga wa ndaho, o na wa kũiya. Nĩagathugunda kũngʼaũrania matũũra marĩa mairigĩre, no nĩ kwa ihinda.
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.
“Nĩagacookanĩrĩria ita inene agĩe na hinya na ũcamba okĩrĩre mũthamaki wa gũthini. Mũthamaki wa gũthini nĩakarũa nake arĩ na ita inene na rĩa hinya, no ndagetiiria nĩ ũndũ wa mĩbango ĩrĩa agaakorwo aciirĩirwo.
26 And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain.
Andũ arĩa marĩĩanagĩra na mũthamaki nĩo makaamũkunyanĩra; ita rĩake nĩrĩgathererio ta andũ megũtwarwo nĩ kĩguũ, na aingĩ ao mooragĩrwo mbaara-inĩ.
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.
Athamaki acio eerĩ, marĩ na ngoro iciirĩire gwĩka ũũru-rĩ, nĩmagaikara metha-inĩ ĩmwe maaranĩrie ndeto cia maheeni, no ndeto icio ciao itigakinyanĩra, amu ithirĩro rĩa maũndũ macio rĩgaakinya o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo.
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.
Mũthamaki wa gathigathini nĩagacooka bũrũri wake arĩ na ũtonga mũingĩ, no ngoro yake ĩgaakorwo ĩreganĩte na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩtheru. Nĩagookĩrĩra kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu, na thuutha ũcio acooke ainũke bũrũri wake.
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.
“Ihinda rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo rĩakinya, nĩagatharĩkĩra bũrũri wa gũthini riita rĩngĩ, no rĩrĩ, itharĩkĩra rĩa ihinda rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩgakorwo rĩrĩ na ũtiganu na rĩa ihinda rĩa mbere.
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.
Andũ a kuuma Kitimu nĩmagooka na marikabu ciao mamũũkĩrĩre, nake nĩagaakua ngoro. Nake nĩakahũndũka arakarĩte mũno na okĩrĩre kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩtheru. Nĩagacooka eke maũndũ ma ũtugi kũrĩ andũ arĩa othe magaatirika kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu gĩtheru.
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.
“Ita rĩake rĩrĩ na indo cia mbaara nĩrĩkarahũka nĩguo rĩthaahie handũ harĩa hairigĩre na hinya ha hekarũ, rĩcooke rĩeherie magongona marĩa marutagwo o mũthenya nĩguo matikarutagĩrwo ho. Thuutha ũcio macooke marũgamie kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu ho, kĩrĩa kĩngĩtũma bũrũri ũkire ihooru.
32 And such as deal wickedly against the covenant shall deceitfully dissemble: but the people that know their God shall prevail and succeed.
Nĩakaheenereria na ndeto cia waara andũ arĩa mathũkĩtie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu gĩtheru, no andũ arĩa mooĩ Ngai wao nĩmakeĩkĩra hinya na maregane nake magwatĩirie.
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.
“Andũ arĩa oogĩ nĩmagathomithia andũ aingĩ, o na gũtuĩka kwa ihinda nĩmakooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, kana macinwo na mwaki, kana manyiitwo mĩgwate na matunywo indo ciao cia bata.
34 And when they shall have fallen they shall be relieved with a small help: and many shall be joined to them deceitfully.
Maagũa-rĩ, nĩmakaheo ũteithio mũnini, na andũ aingĩ arĩa matarĩ a ma nĩmakegwatania nao.
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.
Andũ amwe arĩa oogĩ nĩmakaagũa, nĩguo makumuthwo, na mathambio mage imeni nginya mahinda ma ithirĩro, amu ihinda rĩu rĩtuĩtwo no rĩgaakinya.
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.
“Mũthamaki ũcio ageekaga o ũrĩa ekwenda. Nĩagetũũgĩria na enenehie gũkĩra ngai ciothe na nĩakaaragia ndeto itarĩ ciaiguuo cia gũũkĩrĩra Ngai wa ngai ciothe. Nake nĩakagaacĩra nginya rĩrĩa ihinda rĩa mangʼũrĩ rĩgaathira, nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũrĩa ũtuĩtwo no nginya ũkaahinga.
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.
Ningĩ ndakarũmbũiya ũhoro wa ngai cia maithe make, kana ngai ĩrĩa ĩĩriragĩrio nĩ andũ-a-nja, kana arũmbũiye ũhoro wa ngai o na ĩrĩkũ, no nĩ gwĩtũũgĩria ageetũũgĩria gũkĩra ngai icio ciothe.
38 But he shall worship the god Maozim in his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not, he shall worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and things of great price.
Handũ ha cio, agaatĩĩa ngai ya kũndũ kũrĩa kũirigĩtwo na hinya; ngai ĩtoĩkaine nĩ maithe make, nĩyo agaatĩĩa na amĩrutagĩre thahabu na betha, hamwe na tũhiga twa goro na iheo cia thogora mũnene.
39 And he shall do this to fortify Maozim with a strange god, whom he hath acknowledged, and he shall increase glory and shall give them power over many, and shall divide the land gratis.
Nĩagatharĩkĩra kũndũ kũrĩa kũirigĩre na hinya mũno ateithĩrĩirio nĩ ngai ngʼeni, na nĩagatĩĩithia mũno andũ arĩa othe makamwĩnyiihĩria. Acio nĩo agaatua aathani maathage andũ aingĩ, na agayanie ithaka cia bũrũri ũcio, aciheane na thogora.
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.
“Ihinda rĩa ithirĩro rĩakinya-rĩ, mũthamaki ũcio wa gũthini nĩakamũtharĩkĩra mbaara-inĩ, no nake mũthamaki ũcio wa gathigathini amũũkĩrĩre na ngaari cia ita, na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi, o na marikabu nyingĩ. Nĩagatharĩkĩra mabũrũri maingĩ, na atuĩkanĩrie kuo ta kĩguũ kĩa maaĩ.
41 And he shall enter into the glorious land, and many shall fall: and these only shall be saved out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the principality of the children of Ammon.
Ningĩ nĩagatharĩkĩra Bũrũri ũrĩa Mũthaka. Mabũrũri maingĩ nĩmakaagũa, no bũrũri wa Edomu na wa Moabi, hamwe na atongoria a Amoni nĩmakahonokio kuuma guoko-inĩ gwake.

Nĩagatambũrũkia guoko gwake mabũrũri-inĩ maingĩ; o naguo bũrũri wa Misiri ndũkahonoka.
43 And he shall have power over the treasures of gold, and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt: and he shall pass through Libya, and Ethiopia.
