< Daniel 11 >

1 Also I, in ye first yere of Darius of ye Medes, euen I stood to incourage and to strengthen him.
Ndipo chaka choyamba cha Dariyo Mmedi ine Mikayeli ndinabwera kumuthandiza ndi kumuteteza Gabrieli.
2 And now wil I shew thee ye trueth, Behold, there shall stand vp yet three Kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be farre richer then they all: and by his strength, and by his riches he shall stirre vp all against the realme of Grecia.
“Ndipo tsopano ndikuwuza zoona: Mafumu ena atatu adzalamulira ku Peresiya, ndipo kenaka padzadzuka mfumu yachinayi imene idzakhala yolemera kwambiri kuposa onsewo. Popeza kuti idzakhala ndi mphamvu chifukwa cha chuma chake, idzadzutsa onse kuti alimbane ndi ufumu wa Grisi.
3 But a mightie King shall stand vp, that shall rule with great dominion, and doe according to his pleasure.
Kenaka mfumu yamphamvu idzafika imene idzalamulira ndi ufumu waukulu ndi kuchita zimene ifuna.
4 And when he shall stand vp, his kingdome shall be broken, and shall be deuided towarde the foure windes of heauen: and not to his posteritie, nor according to his dominion, which he ruled: for his kingdome shall be pluckt vp, euen to be for others besides those.
Koma ufumu wake ukadzafika pachimake, udzawonongedwa ndi kugawidwa mʼzigawo zinayi. Ufumuwo sudzaperekedwa kwa zidzukulu zake, ndipo olowa mʼmalo mwake sadzakhala ndi mphamvu monga anali nazo, chifukwa ufumu wake udzazulidwa ndi kuperekedwa kwa ena.
5 And ye King of ye South shalbe mightie, and one of his princes, and shall preuaile against him, and beare rule: his dominio shalbe a great dominion.
“Mfumu ya kummwera idzakhala yamphamvu, koma mmodzi mwa akalonga ake adzakhala ndi mphamvu kuposa iyo; adzalamulira ufumu wake waukulu kwambiri.
6 And in the ende of yeeres they shalbe ioyned together: for the Kings daughter of ye South shall come to the King of the North to make an agreement, but she shall not reteine the power of the arme, neither shall he continue, nor his arme: but she shall be deliuered to death, and they that brought her, and he that begate her, and he that comforted her in these times.
Patapita zaka zingapo, mfumu ya kummwera ndi mfumu ya kumpoto adzachita pangano. Mwana wamkazi wa mfumu ya kummwera adzapita nakakwatiwa ndi mfumu ya kumpoto pokhazikitsa pangano la mtendere, koma ulamuliro wake pamodzi ndi wa mwana wake sudzakhalitsa. Mʼmasiku amenewo iye, mwamuna wake, mwana wake ndi atumiki ake, onse adzaperekedwa kwa adani.
7 But out of the bud of her rootes shall one stand vp in his stead, which shall come with an armie, and shall enter into the fortresse of the King of the North, and doe with them as he list, and shall preuaile,
“Mmodzi wochokera ku banja la mkaziyo adzadzuka nadzalamulira mʼmalo mwake. Iye adzamenyana ndi ankhondo a mfumu ya kumpoto ndi kulowa mʼmalo ake otetezedwa; adzachita nawo nkhondo ndi kupambana.
8 And shall also carie captiues into Egypt their gods with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of siluer and of golde, and he shall continue more yeeres then the King of the North.
Iye adzalandanso milungu yawo, mafano awo achitsulo, ndi ziwiya zawo zamtengowapatali zasiliva ndi golide ndi kubwerera nazo ku Igupto. Adzaleka osayithira nkhondo mfumu ya kumpoto kwa zaka zingapo.
9 So the King of ye South shall come into his kingdome, and shall returne into his owne land.
Kenaka mfumu ya kumpoto idzathira nkhondo dziko la mfumu ya kummwera koma idzalephera ndi kubwerera kwawo.
10 Wherefore his sonnes shall be stirred vp, and shall assemble a mightie great armie: and one shall come, and ouerflowe, and passe through: then shall he returne, and be stirred vp at his fortresse.
Ana ake adzakonzekera nkhondo ndi kusonkhanitsa gulu lankhondo lalikulu, limene lidzathira nkhondo mfumu yakummwera ngati chigumula mpaka kumalo ake otetezedwa.
11 And the King of the South shall be angrie, and shall come foorth, and fight with him, euen with the King of the North: for he shall set foorth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be giuen into his hand.
“Kenaka mfumu yakummwera idzatuluka mokwiya ndi kumenya nkhondo ndi mfumu yakumpoto, imene idzasonkhanitsa gulu lalikulu la nkhondo, koma idzayigonjetsa.
12 Then the multitude shall be proude, and their heart shall be lifted vp: for hee shall cast downe thousands: but he shall not still preuaile.
Gulu la nkhondoli likadzagwidwa, mfumu yakummwera idzayamba kudzikuza ndipo idzapha anthu miyandamiyanda, koma kupambanaku sikudzapitirira.
13 For the King of the North shall returne, and shall set foorth a greater multitude then afore, and shall come foorth (after certeine yeeres) with a mightie armie, and great riches.
Popeza mfumu ya kumpoto idzasonkhanitsa gulu lina lankhondo, lochulukirapo kuposa loyamba; ndipo patapita zaka zingapo idzabwera ndi chigulu chachikulu cha nkhondo chokonzekeratu ndi zida.
14 And at the same time there shall many stand vp against the King of the South: also the rebellious children of thy people shall exalt them selues to establish the vision, but they shall fall.
“Nthawi imeneyo ambiri adzawukira mfumu ya kummwera. Anthu achisokonezo pakati panu nawonso adzawukira pokwaniritsa masomphenya, koma sadzapambana.
15 So the King of the North shall come, and cast vp a mount, and take the strong citie: and the armes of the South shall not resist, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
Kenaka mfumu ya kumpoto idzafika ndikuzinga mzinda powunda nthumbira za nkhondo ndipo idzagonjetsa mzinda wotetezedwa. Gulu lankhondo la kummwera lidzasowa mphamvu; ngakhale akatswiri awo ankhondo sadzakhala ndi mphamvu zogonjetsera ankhondo a kumpoto.
16 But he that shall come, shall doe vnto him as he list, and none shall stand against him: and he shall stand in the pleasant land, which by his hand shalbe consumed.
Mfumu ya kumpoto idzachita zofuna zake; palibe aliyense adzayigonjetse. Idzakhazikitsa ulamuliro wake mu Dziko Lokongola. Zonse zidzakhala mu ulamuliro wa mfumu yakumpoto ija.
17 Againe he shall set his face to enter with the power of his whole kingdome, and his confederates with him: thus shall he doe, and he shall giue him the daughter of women, to destroy her: but she shall not stande on his side, neither bee for him.
Idzafika ndi mphamvu za ufumu wake wonse ndipo idzayesa kuchita pangano la mtendere ndi mfumu ya kummwera. Ndipo idzamupatsa mwana wake wamkazi kuti amukwatire ndi cholinga cholanda ufumu, koma zolinga zake sizidzatheka kapena kumuthandiza.
18 After this shall he turne his face vnto the yles, and shall take many, but a prince shall cause his shame to light vpon him, beside that he shall cause his owne shame to turne vpon himselfe.
Kenaka idzatembenukira ku mayiko a mʼmbali mwa nyanja ndi kulanda mizinda yambiri, koma mtsogoleri wina wa nkhondo adzathetsa kudzikuza kwakeko ndipo adzabwezera chipongwecho kwa iye.
19 For he shall turne his face toward the fortes of his owne land: but he shall be ouerthrowen and fall, and be no more founde.
Zikadzatha izi, mfumu idzabwerera ku malo otetezedwa a dziko la kwawo koma idzapunthwa ndi kugwa osapezekanso.
20 Then shall stand vp in his place in the glorie of the kingdome, one that shall raise taxes: but after fewe dayes he shall be destroyed, neither in wrath, nor in battell.
“Mfumu imene idzatenga malo ake idzatumiza wokhometsa msonkho kuti chuma cha ufumu wake chichuluke. Komabe mʼzaka zochepa mfumuyo idzawonongedwa osati mu mkwiyo kapena ku nkhondo.
21 And in his place shall stand vp a vile person, to whom they shall not giue the honour of the kingdome: but he shall come in peaceably, and obteine the kingdome by flatteries.
“Mʼmalo mwake mudzalowa munthu wonyozeka amene si wa banja laufumu. Iye adzabwera pamene anthu akuganiza kuti ali pa mtendere, ndipo adzalanda ufumuwo mwa chinyengo.
22 And the armes shall be ouerthrowen with a flood before him, and shall be broken: and also the prince of the couenant.
Kenaka adzagonetsa gulu lalikulu lankhondo kuphatikizapo Mkulu wa Ansembe wapangano.
23 And after the league made with him, he shall worke deceitfully: for he shall come vp, and ouercome with a small people.
Atatha kuchita naye pangano, iye adzachita monyenga, ndipo ngakhale adzakhale ndi anthu ochepa adzakhalabe ndi mphamvu.
24 He shall enter into the quiet and plentifull prouince, and he shall doe that which his fathers haue not done, nor his fathers fathers: he shall deuide among them the pray and the spoyle, and the substance, yea, and he shall forecast his deuises against the strong holdes, euen for a time.
Mwadzidzidzi, iye adzazithira nkhondo zigawo zolemera kwambiri ndipo adzachita zimene makolo ake ngakhale agogo ake sanachitepo. Iye adzagawira zolanda, zofunkha ndi chuma kwa omutsatira. Adzachita chiwembu cholanda mizinda yotetezedwa koma kwa kanthawi kochepa.
25 Also he shall stirre vp his power and his courage against the King of the South with a great armie, and the King of the South shall be stirred vp to battell with a very great and mightie armie: but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast and practise against him.
“Mfumu ya kumpoto idzalimba mtima, ndipo idzasonkhanitsa gulu lalikulu la ankhondo kuti lithire nkhondo mfumu yakummwera. Mfumu yakummwera ndi gulu lake lankhondo lalikulu ndi lamphamvu idzathirana nkhondo ndi mfumu yakumpoto koma sidzapambana chifukwa cha ziwembu zimene adzamukonzera.
26 Yea, they that feede of the portion of his meate, shall destroy him: and his armie shall ouerflowe: and many shall fall, and be slaine.
Amene amadya chakudya ndi mfumu adzamuukira; gulu lake lankhondo lidzagonjetsedwa, ndipo ambiri adzafera ku nkhondo.
27 And both these Kings hearts shall be to do mischiefe, and they shall talke of deceite at one table: but it shall not auaile: for yet the ende shall be at the time appointed.
Mafumu awiriwa mitima yawo idzalinga ku zoyipa. Azidzanamizana ali pa tebulo limodzi, koma zolinga zawo sizidzatheka chifukwa nthawi idzakhala isanakwane.
28 Then shall he returne into his land with great substance: for his heart shall be against the holy couenant: so shall he doe and returne to his owne land.
Mfumu ya kumpoto idzabwerera ku dziko la kwawo ndi chuma chambiri, koma mtima wake udzafunitsitsa pangano lopatulika. Idzawononga panganolo ndipo kenaka idzabwerera ku dziko lake.
29 At the time appointed he shall returne, and come toward the South: but the last shall not be as the first.
“Patapita nthawi mfumu ya kumpoto idzabwereranso kummwera koma sidzapambana monga inachitira kale.
30 For the shippes of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shalbe sorie and returne, and freat against the holy couenant: so shall he doe, he shall euen returne and haue intelligence with them that forsake the holy couenant.
Sitima zapamadzi zochokera ku mayiko a ku madzulo zidzalimbana naye, ndipo adzataya mtima. Kenaka idzabwerera mopsa mtima ndi kudzalimbana ndi chipembedzo cha anthu opatulika. Idzabwerera ndi kuchitira chifundo amene sadzasunga pangano loyera.
31 And armes shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the Sanctuarie of strength, and shall take away the dayly sacrifice, and they shall set vp the abominable desolation.
“Ankhondo ake adzayipitsa linga la Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo adzathetsa nsembe za tsiku ndi tsiku. Kenaka adzakhazikitsa chonyansa chimene chabweretsa chiwonongeko.
32 And such as wickedly breake ye couenant, shall he cause to sinne by flatterie: but the people that do know their God, shall preuaile and prosper.
Ndi mawu oshashalika mfumuyo idzakopa amene anaphwanya pangano, koma anthu amene amadziwa Mulungu wawo adzalimbika ndipo adzayikana mfumuyo kwathunthu.
33 And they that vnderstand among the people, shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by sword, and by flame, by captiuitie and by spoile many dayes.
“Amene ndi anzeru adzalangiza ambiri. Koma patapita kanthawi adzaphedwa ndi lupanga kapena kutenthedwa, kapena kugwidwa kapena kulandidwa katundu.
34 Nowe when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a litle helpe: but many shall cleaue vnto them fainedly.
Pa nthawi yozunzikayi ena adzawathandiza pangʼono, koma ambiri othandizawo adzakhala achinyengo.
35 And some of the of vnderstanding shall fall to trie them, and to purge, and to make them white, till the time be out: for there is a time appointed.
Ena mwa anzeruwo adzaphedwa ndi cholinga chakuti ayengedwe, otsala mwa iwo ayeretsedwe ndi kukhala wopanda banga kufikira nthawi yomaliza, popeza idzafika ndithu nthawi imene Mulungu wayika.
36 And the King shall doe what him list: he shall exalt himselfe, and magnifie himselfe against all, that is God, and shall speake marueilous things against ye God of gods, and shall prosper, till ye wrath be accomplished: for ye determination is made.
“Mfumu ya kumpoto idzachita zimene ikufuna. Idzadzikweza ndi kudziyesa yopambana mulungu aliyense ndipo idzanenera za mwano Mulungu wa milungu. Iyo idzapambana mpaka nthawi yoti Mulungu ayilange mwa mkwiyo itakwana popeza chimene chatsimikizika chiyenera kuchitika.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desires of women, nor care for any God: for he shall magnifie himselfe aboue all.
Mfumuyo idzanyoza milungu ya makolo ake ndiponso mulungu wokondedwa ndi akazi, sidzachitiranso ulemu mulungu aliyense, koma idzadzikweza yokha pamwamba pa onse.
38 But in his place shall he honour the god Mauzzim, and the god whom his fathers knewe not, shall he honour with golde and with siluer, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Mʼmalo mwa onsewo, idzachitira ulemu mulungu wachitetezo; mulungu wosadziwika ndi makolo ake. Iyo idzapereka kwa mulunguyo golide ndi siliva, ndi miyala yokongola, ndiponso mphatso za pamwamba kwambiri.
39 Thus shall he do in the holdes of Mauzzim with a strange god whom he shall acknowledge: he shall increase his glory, and shall cause them to rule ouer many and shall deuide ye land for gaine.
Anthu opembedza mulungu wachilendo adzakhala ngati linga lake. Idzalemekeza iwowa kwambiri, ndipo idzawayika kuti alamulire anthu ambiri. Idzawagawira dziko ngati malipiro awo.
40 And at ye end of time shall the King of the South push at him, and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlewind with charets, and with horsemen, and with many ships, and he shall enter into ye countreis, and shall ouerflow and passe through.
“Pa nthawi yomaliza mfumu yakummwera idzachita nkhondo ndi mfumu yakumpoto. Koma mfumu yakumpotoyi idzayikantha ndi magaleta ndi akavalo ndi sitima zapamadzi zambiri ngati mphepo yamkokomo. Idzalowa mʼmayiko ambiri ndikuwakokolola onse ngati madzi osefukira.
41 He shall enter also into the pleasant land, and many countreis shalbe ouerthrowen: but these shall escape out of his hand, euen Edom and Moab, and the chiefe of the children of Ammon.
Idzalowanso mʼDziko Lokongola ndipo anthu ambiri adzaphedwa. Koma Edomu, Mowabu ndi olamulira a Amoni adzapulumuka.
42 He shall stretch foorth his hands also vpon the countreis, and ye land of Egypt shall not escape.
Idzathira nkhondo mayiko ambiri ndipo ngakhale Igupto sadzapulumuka.
43 But he shall haue power ouer the treasures of golde and of siluer, and ouer all the precious things of Egypt, and of the Lybians, and of the blacke Mores where he shall passe.
Idzalanda chuma cha golide, siliva, ndi zonse za mtengowapatali za ku Igupto, ndiponso anthu a ku Libiya ndi Akusi adzagonja kwa iwo.
44 But the tidings out of the East and the North shall trouble him: therefore he shall goe foorth with great wrath to destroy and roote out many.
Koma uthenga wochokera kummawa ndi kumpoto udzayiopsa, ndipo idzapita ndi ukali kukawononga ndi kutheratu anthu ambiri.
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace betweene the seas in the glorious and holy mountaine, yet he shall come to his end, and none shall helpe him.
Mfumuyo idzayimika matenti ake aufumu, pakati pa nyanja ndi phiri lokongola. Komabe mapeto ake mfumuyo idzaphedwa, ndipo palibe amene adzayithandize.”
