< Daniel 11 >

1 Also I, in ye first yere of Darius of ye Medes, euen I stood to incourage and to strengthen him.
Nʼafọ mbụ nke ọchịchị Daraiọs onye Midia, ọ bụ m guzoro inyere ya aka na ichekwa ya.)
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.
“Ugbu a, aga m agwa gị eziokwu. A ga-enwe ndị eze Peshịa atọ ọzọ ndị ga-achịkwa. A ga-enwe eze nke anọ onye ga-aba ụba karịa ndị ọzọ niile. Mgbe ọ ga-adị ike site akụnụba ya, ọ ga-akpalị onye ọbụla imegide eze Griis.
3 But a mightie King shall stand vp, that shall rule with great dominion, and doe according to his pleasure.
Ma mgbe ahụ, a ga-enwe eze dị ike nke ga-eji oke ike chịa. Ọ ga na-eme ihe masịrị ya.
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.
Ma mgbe ọ rịgotachara nʼọchịchị, a ga-ekposa alaeze ya kesaa ya nʼakụkụ anọ nke ụwa ma ọ bụghị ụmụ ya ga na-achị. Ọ bụghịkwa nʼusoro dịka ike ọchịchị ya si dị, nʼihi na a ga-ehopu alaeze ya, nyefee ya nʼaka ndị ọzọ na-abụghị ndị agbụrụ ya.
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.
“Eze nke ndịda ga-adị ike, ma otu onye nʼime ndịisi agha ya ga-adị ike karịa ya, chịakwa alaeze dị ukwu karịa nke ya
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.
Mgbe afọ ole na ole gasịrị, ha ga-ekekọta onwe ha. Ada eze ndịda ga-agakwuru eze ugwu ka ha gbaa ndụ, ma ada eze agaghị ejigide ike ya, eze na ike ya agaghị adịgidekwa. Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, a ga-arara ada eze ahụ nye, ya na ndị na-eche ya nche, na nna ya na onye ahụ dịnyeere ya.
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,
“Nʼoge ahụ, otu onye ga-esi nʼagbụrụ ụlọ nwanyị ahụ kulite i were ọnọdụ ya ịchị dịka eze, ọ ga-ebuso ndị agha eze mpaghara ugwu agha, bata nʼebe ya e wusiri ike, ọ ga-alụso ha agha ghọọ onye mmeri.
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.
Ọ ga-ebukọrọ chi ha niile na arụsị ha niile awụrụ awụ ma ndị atụrụ atụ, na ihe ndị ọzọ dịkarịsịrị ha mkpa dịka efere, ọlaọcha na nke ọlaedo laa Ijipt. O mechaa nke a, ọ ga-akwụsị ịlụso eze ugwu ọgụ afọ ole na ole.
9 So the King of ye South shall come into his kingdome, and shall returne into his owne land.
Otu a kwa, eze mpaghara ugwu ga-ebuso eze ndịda agha, ma ọ gaghị anọ ọdụ lọghachikwa nʼala nke ya.
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.
Ma ụmụ ya ndị ikom ga-achịkọta ọtụtụ ndị agha siri ike, ndị ga-enupu dịka oke idee mmiri, buru agha ruo nʼebe ya e wusiri ike.
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.
“Mgbe ahụ, eze ndịda, onye iwe ga-eju obi, ga-achịkọtakwa ndị agha nke ya buso eze ugwu agha, onye nke ga-achịkọta ọtụtụ ndị agha, ma ndị a ka ndị iro ya ga-alụgbu.
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.
Ma mgbe o merichara ndị agha ahụ, ọ ga-enwe ọṅụ dị ukwu, ọ ga-egbukwa imerime puku ndị mmadụ, ma ọ gaghị emeri na-aga nʼihu.
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.
Mgbe afọ ole na ole gafere, eze ndị mpaghara ugwu ga-eduru ndị agha ji ezi ngwa agha, na ndị bara ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ karịa ndị nke e meriri nʼagha na mbụ pụọ ibu agha.
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.
“Nʼoge ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị ga-ebili imegide eze ndịda, Ụfọdụ ndị ọkpa aghara nʼetiti unu ga-enupukwa isi, ha ga-esi otu a mezuo ihe a ị hụrụ nʼọhụ, ma a ga-emeri ha.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, eze ndị mpaghara ugwu ga-abịa buo agha megide obodo ndị ndịda e wusiri ike, lụgbukwaa ya. Ndị agha agaghị enwe ike iguzogide ha ọ bụladị ndị ha bụ ọka ibe nʼagha.
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.
Ma onye nke na-ebuso ya agha ga-eme ihe masịrị ya, ma o nweghị onye ga-egbochi ha. Ọ ga-abatakwa nʼAla Ọma ahụ, ebe ihe niile ga-anọ nʼokpuru ya.
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.
Ọ ga-ekpebi ịbịa nʼike nke alaeze ya niile, iji mee nke a, ya na eze nke ndịda ga-agba ndụ. Ọ ga-enyekwa ya nwaagbọghọ iji kwatuo alaeze ya, ma ebumnobi ya agaghị eguzo maọbụ baara ya uru.
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.
Mgbe ọ mesịrị nke a, ọ ga-eche ihu ya nʼobodo ndị ahụ niile dị nʼọnụ osimiri. Ọ ga-emerikwa ọtụtụ nʼime ha. Ma otu ọchịagha ga-alụso ya ọgụ, mee ka o jiri ọsọ gbaghachi nʼihere.
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.
Ọ ga-echigharị azụ chee ihu ya ebe niile e wusiri ike nke ala nke ya, ọ ga-asọ ngọngọ daa, a gaghị ahụkwa ya ọzọ.
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.
“Otu onye ga-abịa nọchie ọnọdụ ya, ọ ga-ezipụ onye ga-ekegbu ndị mmadụ nʼụtụ iji mee ka otuto nke alaeze ahụ daa, ma nʼime ụbọchị ole na ole, a ga-egbu ya, ma ọ gaghị abụ nʼagha maọbụ nʼihu mmadụ.
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.
“Nʼọnọdụ ya, otu onye ọjọọ e ledara anya ga-ebilite, onye na-ekwesighị iwere nsọpụrụ nke ya bụ ọchịchị. Ọ ga-abata nʼike nʼalaeze ahụ mgbe ndị ya nọ nʼudo, ọ ga-eji nwayọọ ma were ire ụtọ na aghụghọ nweta alaeze ahụ.
22 And the armes shall be ouerthrowen with a flood before him, and shall be broken: and also the prince of the couenant.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-achụsasị igwe ndị agha niile, bibiekwa ha na onye ọchịchị nke ọgbụgba ndụ.
23 And after the league made with him, he shall worke deceitfully: for he shall come vp, and ouercome with a small people.
Mgbe ọ banyesịrị nʼọgbụgba ndụ, ọ ga-eji aghụghọ na-eme mpu, ọ ga na-esiwanye ike nʼagbanyeghị nʼọnụọgụgụ ndị mmadụ dị ole na ole.
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.
Ọ ga-abanye nʼakụkụ ala ahụ niile a maara ndị bara ụba bi, mee nʼebe ahụ ihe ndị buru ya ụzọ na-emebeghị. Ọ ga-ekesara ndị mmadụ akụnụba na ihe nkwata ndị ọzọ ọ lụtara nʼagha. Ọ ga-atụpụta aro iji lụso obodo siri ike ọgụ, ma nke ahụ ga-adị nwa mgbe nta.
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.
“Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-emesi onwe ya obi ike, chịkọtaa ọtụtụ ndị agha ibuso eze ndịda agha. Eze ndịda ga-achịkọtakwa ndị agha dị ọtụtụ dịkwa ike lụso ya ọgọ ma ọ gaghị enwe ike guzogide ya nʼihi izuzu nzuzo a gbara megide ya.
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.
Nʼihi na ndị na-eri ihe ọma eze ga-etipịa ya. A ga-achụsa ndị agha ya, ma gbukwaa ọtụtụ nʼọgbọ agha.
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.
Ndị eze abụọ a, ndị obi ha jupụtara nʼihe ọjọọ ga-anọkọta nʼotu tebul na-agwarịta ibe ha okwu ụgha, ma nzukọ ha agaghị enwe isi, nʼihi ọgwụgwụ ahụ ga-adị mgbe a kara aka ruru.
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.
Ọ ga-eji akụnụba dị ukwuu laghachi nʼobodo nke ya ma obi ya ga-adị imegide ọgbụgba ndụ nsọ ahụ. Ọ ga-ebili imegide ya ma mesịa laghachi nʼobodo nke aka ya.
29 At the time appointed he shall returne, and come toward the South: but the last shall not be as the first.
“Ma mgbe oge ahụ a kara aka ruru, ọ ga-achịrịkwa ndị agha ya laghachi na ndịda, ma ihe agaghị adị otu ọ dị na mbụ.
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.
Ụgbọ mmiri ndị si obodo Kitim ga-abịa imegide ya, ọ ga-ada mba nʼihi egwu, ọ ga-alaghachi azụ were oke iwe megide ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ dị nsọ. Ọ ga-alọghachi gosi ndị hapụrụ ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ dị nsọ nkwado.
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.
“Ndị agha ya ga-ebili imerụ ebe ahụ e wusiri ike nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, kwụsịkwa aja nsure ọkụ nke a na-achụ kwa ụbọchị. Ha ga-ewuli ihe arụ nke na-eweta mbibi.
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.
Ọ ga-eji ire ụtọ merụọ ndị ahụ mebiri iwu nke ọgbụgba ndụ. Ma ndị ahụ maara Chineke ha ga-adị ike guzogide ya.
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.
“Ndị niile nwere uche ga-ezi ọtụtụ mmadụ ihe, ma na nwa oge nta, ụfọdụ ga-anwụ site na mma agha, ụfọdụ ka a ga-akpọ ọkụ, ụfọdụ ka a ga-adọta nʼagha, ụfọdụ kwa ka a ga-apụnara ihe ha nwere.
34 Nowe when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a litle helpe: but many shall cleaue vnto them fainedly.
Mgbe ha ga-ada, inyeaka ntakịrị ga-abịara ha, ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ga-ejikwa ụzọ aghụghọ bịa dịnyere ha.
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.
Nʼoge ahụ, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị maara ihe ga-asọ ngọngọ, ka ha nwe ike bụrụ ndị a nụchara anụcha, na ndị a sachapụrụ ọcha na ndị emere ka ha dị ọcha na-enweghị ntụpọ tutu ruo nʼọgwụgwụ ihe ndị a, nʼihi nʼoge ahụ ga-abịa mgbe akara aka.
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.
“Eze ahụ ga-eme ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ. Ọ ga-agụkwa onwe ya dịka onye dị ukwuu karịa chi niile. Nʼezie, ọ ga-ekwu okwu nkwulu megide Chineke kachasị chi niile. Ma ihe ga-agakwara ya nke ọma tutu mgbe oge ya zuru. Nʼihi na ihe niile ekwuru ga-emezucha.
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.
Ọ gaghị akpọ chi nke nna ha maọbụ nke ahụ ụmụ nwanyị na-achọsi ike ihe ọbụla, o nweghị chi ọbụla ọ ga-akpọ ihe nʼihi na ọ ga-ebuli onwe ya elu karịa ha niile.
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.
Kama chi nke ọ ga-asọpụrụ bụ chi nke ebe e wusiri ike, chi nke nna ya ha na-amaghị. Ọ ga-eji ọlaedo na ọlaọcha, na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa na onyinye dara oke ọnụahịa fee chi a.
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.
Ọ ga-emegide ebe niile e wusiri ike, nke siri ike site nʼinyeaka chi nke mba ọzọ. Ndị niile nabatara ya ka ọ ga-eme ka nsọpụrụ bara ụba. Ọ ga-eme ha ndị ọchịchị ọtụtụ mmadụ, kenyekwa ha ala dịka ụgwọ ọrụ ha.
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.
“Ma nʼoge ikpeazụ, eze ndịda ga-ebuso ya agha, ma eze nke ugwu ga-eji iwe chịkọta ndị agha na-agba ụgbọ agha, ndị na-agba ịnyịnya na ndị agha ji ụgbọ mmiri megide ya. Ọ ga-ebuso ọtụtụ mba agha, kpochapụ ha dịka idee mmiri si ekpochapụ ihe.
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.
Ọ ga-abata na Ala Ọma ahụ, gbukwaa iri puku mmadụ kwuru iri puku mmadụ, ma obodo Edọm, obodo Moab na ndị ndu nke Amọn ga-agbapụ site nʼike ya.
42 He shall stretch foorth his hands also vpon the countreis, and ye land of Egypt shall not escape.
Ọ ga-aga ibuso ọtụtụ obodo agha, Ijipt agaghị agbanarị ya.
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.
Ọ ga-enwe ikike nʼebe akụ nke ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na ụba niile nke ala Ijipt. Ndị Libịa na ndị Kush ga-edokwa onwe ha nʼokpuru ya.
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.
Ma nʼoge a kwa, ozi ga-esi nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na nʼugwu bịa, nke ga-emenye ya egwu. Nʼihi ya, ọ ga-eji oke iwe pụọ ibibi ọtụtụ ndị ma laakwa ha nʼiyi.
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.
Ọ ga-akwụba ụlọeze ya nʼetiti ugwu ọma ahụ dị nsọ na nʼoke osimiri, nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a niile, ọ ga-abịaru ọgwụgwụ ya, ọ dịghịkwa onye ga-enyere ya aka.
