< Daniel 11 >

1 And I in the first year of Cyrus stood to strengthen and confirm [him].
To e higa mokwongo mar Darius Ja-Median, ne achungʼ motegno mondo akonye kendo arite.)
2 And now I will tell you the truth. Behold, there shall yet rise up three kings in Persia: and the fourth shall be very far richer than all: and after that he is master of his wealth, he shall rise up against all the kingdoms of the Greeks.
“Koro we anyisi fweny mabiro timore e piny Pasia: Ruodhi adek moko nobedie eka ruoth mar angʼwen nobi, ma nobed gi mwandu mathoth moloyo ruodhi mamoko duto. Bangʼ yudo duongʼ nikech mwandune, obiro thuwo ogendini gi jo-Yunani.
3 An there shall rise up a mighty king, and he shall be lord of a great empire, and shall do according to his will.
Eka ruoth moro maratego nobi, manobed jatelo man-gi teko maduongʼ kendo notim gimoro amora mohero.
4 And when his kingdom shall stand up, it shall be broken, and shall be divided to the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled over: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, and [given] to others beside these.
To bangʼ biro mare, pinyruodhe nopogi matindo tindo, e migepe angʼwen. Ok nopoge ne nyithinde, kendo kata teko mane en-go motelo ok nobedgo, nikech pinyruodhe nopudh oko kendo nomi joma moko.
5 And the king of the south shall be strong; and one of their princes shall prevail against him, and shall obtain a great dominion.
“Ruoth ma milambo nobed maratego, to kata kamano achiel kuom jatend jolweny mage nobed maratego moloye, kendo enolo pinyruodhe owuon gi teko maduongʼ.
6 And after his years they shall associate; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north, to make agreements with him: but she shall not retain power of arm; neither shall his seed stand: and she shall be delivered up, and they that brought her, and the maiden, and he that strengthened her in these times.
Bangʼ higni moko, ginibed pinjeruodhi mawinjore. Nyar ruoth mar Milambo nodhi ir ruoth mar Nyandwat mondo olos winjruok, to winjruogno ok nobedo amingʼa, kendo en bende, gi tekone, ok nosiki. E ndalono ruoth mar milambo nochiw nyare, kaachiel gi joritne ruoth kod jotichne ma nyako.
7 [But] out of the flower of her root there shall arise [one on] his place, and shall come against the host, and shall enter into the strongholds of the king of the north, and shall fight against them, and prevail.
“Ngʼat moro moa e anywolane biro wuok mondo okaw kare. Enomonj jolweny mag ruoth mar Nyandwat mi odonji nyaka e ohingane mochiel motegno kendo obiro kedo kodgi mi ologi.
8 Yes, he shall carry with a body of captives into Egypt their gods with their molten [images, and] all their precious vessels of silver and gold; and he shall last longer than the king of the north.
Obiro mayogi nyisechegi, kido molos gi chuma kod gigegi mamoko ma nengogi tek molos gi fedha gi dhahabu mi odhi kodgi nyaka Misri. Kuom higni moko enowe kedo gi ruodh Nyandwat.
9 And he shall enter into the kingdom of the king of the south, and shall return to his own land.
Eka ruoth mar Nyandwat nomonj bath pinyruoth mar Milambo, to noloye moriembe nyaka e pinye owuon.
10 And his sons shall gather a multitude among many: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through, and he shall rest, and collect his strength.
Yawuote noikre ne lweny kendo ginichok oganda maduongʼ mar jolweny, ma noywe kamoro amora ma gichomo mana ka ohula ma ok gengʼre, kendo giniked mi gichop nyaka ei ohinga mare.
11 And the king of the south shall be greatly enraged, and shall come forth, and shall war with the king of the north: and he shall raise a great multitude; but the multitude shall be delivered into his hand.
“Eka ruoth mar milambo noyar ne lweny mondo oked gi ruoth mar nyandwat ma bende nigi oganda maduongʼ mar jolweny, to giko en ni bende noloye.
12 And he shall take the multitude, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down many thousands; but he shall not prevail.
Bangʼ ka jolweny mag wasike osenegi, sunga nomak ruoth mar milambo mi nomed nego ji gana gi gana, to kata kamano lochneno nobed mar kinde matin.
13 For the king of the north shall return, and bring a multitude greater than the former, and at the end of the times of years an invading army shall come with a great force, and with much substance.
Ruoth mar Nyandwat nochok jolweny mamoko, ma nobed monj maduongʼ moloyo mano mokwongo; kendo bangʼ higni mamoko, enomonje gi jolweny mathoth man-gi gige lweny motegno.
14 And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south; and the children of the spoilers of your people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; and they shall fail.
“E kindeno ji mathoth nowuogi mondo oked gi ruoth mar milambo. Jo-mahundu modak e dieru nongʼany mondo fweny mane iseneno ochop kare to ok gininyal.
15 And the king of the north shall come in, and cast up a mound, and take strong cities: and the arms of the king of the south shall withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up, but there shall be no strength to stand.
Bangʼe ruoth mar Nyandwat nobi mi noger kuonde goyo agengʼa kendo ginikaw dala moro mochiel motegno. Jokedo mag Milambo ok nobed gi teko mar sirogi, kata mana jolwenjgi mabeyo mogik ok nobed gi teko mar siro lweny.
16 And he that comes in against him shall do according to his will, and there is no one to stand before him: and he shall stand in the land of beauty, and it shall be consumed by his hand.
Jamonj ji-cha notim gima en ema ohero; onge ngʼama nonyal chungʼ e nyime mondo oked kode. Enomanre maber mar kedo gi Piny Maber, kendo enobed gi teko mar kethe.
17 And he shall set his face to come in with the force of his whole kingdom, and shall cause everything to prosper with him: and he shall give him the daughter of women to corrupt her: but she shall not continue, neither be on his side.
Enochan mondo obi gi teko mar pinyruodhe duto, kendo enolos winjruok gi ruoth mar Milambo, kendo enomiye nyare mondo okendi, eka olo pinyno, to chenrogego ok noti, kendo ok nokonye.
18 And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many, and cause princes to cease from their reproach: nevertheless his own reproach shall return to him.
Bangʼe nolokre ochom pinje manie dho nam, kendo nokaw thothgi, kata kamano jatend jolweny moro notiek achaya mochechogono, kendo nodwok achayagego e wiye owuon.
19 Then he shall turn back his face to the strength of his own land: but he shall become weak, and fall, and not be found.
Bangʼ mano, nodog kuonde mochiel motegno manie pinygi, to kata kamano noloye ma ok nochak owinje kendo.
20 And there shall arise out of his root one that shall cause a plant of the kingdom to pass over his place, earning kingly glory: and yet in those days shall he be broken, yet not openly, nor in war.
“Ruoth machielo manokaw kare noor jasol osuru ir ji mondo pinye obed gi mwandu marahuma. To kata kamano, notieke, bangʼ higni manok, to ok gi mirima kata e lweny.
21 [One] shall stand on his place, [who] has been set a nothing, and they have not put upon him the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in prosperously, and obtain the kingdom by deceitful ways.
“En noluwe gi ngʼat moro ma timbene richo ma ok owinjore bedo ruoth. Ngʼatni nomonj pinyruoth kinde ma jopiny paro ni gin gi kwe kendo enokaw pinyno kokonyore gi weche ma miriambo.
22 And the arms of him that overflows shall be washed away as with a flood from before him, and shall be broken, and [so shall be] the head of the covenant.
Eka jolweny mangʼeny mapiem kode notiek duto koneno gi wangʼe, kendo en kaachiel gi ruoth moro mar singruok notiekgi.
23 And because of the leagues made with him he shall work deceit: and he shall come up, and overpower them with a small nation.
Bangʼ timo winjruok kode, nokaw loch kokonyore gi weche mag miriambo kendo kokonyore gi ji matin nono.
24 And he shall enter with prosperity, and [that] into fertile districts; and he shall do what his fathers and his fathers' fathers have not done; he shall scatter among them plunder, and spoils, and wealth; and he shall devise plans against Egypt, even for a time.
E kinde ma pinje moko mag pinyruoth nobed kagalo ni gidhi maber, enomonjgi, kendo enolochi e yo ma wuonege kata kwerege ne pok olochogo. Enopog gik momayo ji githuon, gi gik moyako kod mwandu duto ne jolupne. Enochan bende mar loko loje mag kuonde mochiel motegno, to notim kamano kuom kinde matin kende.
25 And his strength and his heart shall be stirred up against the king of the south with a great force; and the king of the south shall engage in war with a great and very strong force; but [his forces] shall not stand, for they shall devise plans against him:
“Enoked gi ruodh milambo, ka en gi oganda maduongʼ mar jolweny. To ruoth mar milambo bende notug lweny ka en gi jolweny maratipo kendo ma tekregi ngʼeny, kata kamano ok enonyal sire nikech jolwenyge moko nondhoge.
26 and they shall eat his provisions, and shall crush him, and he shall carry away armies as with a flood, and many shall fall down slain.
Joma chamo chiemo mopogne joka ruoth notem mondo onege; jolweny mage notieki kendo thothgi noneg gi ligangla.
27 And [as for] both the kings, their hearts [are set] upon mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper; for yet the end is for a [fixed] time.
Ruodhi ariyogo nobedi e mesa achiel ka gichano timo gik maricho kendo ka moro ka moro wuondo nyawadgi, to parogino ok notimre, nikech gikogi pod nobi abiya, ka kinde ochopo.
28 And he shall return to his land with much substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall perform [great deeds], and return to his own land.
Ruodh Milambo nodog e pinye owuon ka en gi mwandu mathoth, to enoket chunye mar kedo gi singruok maler. Enotimne singruok maler gima en ema ohero eka nodog e pinygi.
29 At the [set] time he shall return, and shall come into the south, but the last [expedition] shall [not] be as the first.
“Ka kinde mosechan ochopo, enomonj piny Milambo kendo, to koro gima notimre nopogre gi mano mane osetimore mokwongo.
30 For the Citians issuing forth shall come against him, and he shall be brought low, and shall return, and shall be incensed against the holy covenant: and he shall do [thus], and shall return, and have intelligence with them that have forsaken the holy covenant.
Joma oa yo podho chiengʼ mar pinje manie dho nam nobi gi yiedhigi mondo oked kode mi luoro nomake. Bangʼ mano nodog ka en gi mirima mager mondo oked gi ngʼat man-gi singruok maler. Enoluw weche mag joma oseweyo luwo singruok malerno.
31 And seeds shall spring up out of him, and they shall profane the sanctuary of strength, and they shall remove the perpetual [sacrifice], and make the abomination desolate.
“Jolwenje momanore gi gig lweny nowuog mondo gidwany kama ochiel motegno mar hekalu kendo ginitiek misengini mitimo pile pile. Eka ginichung gima kwero makelo kethruok kanyo.
32 And the transgressors shall bring about a covenant by deceitful ways: but a people knowing their God shall prevail, and do [valiantly].
Ruoth nongʼad rieko ne joma oseweyo singruokgi, to kata kamano joma ongʼeyo Nyasachgi nochungʼ motegno.
33 And the intelligent of the people shall understand much: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, and by captivity, and by spoil of [many] days.
“Joma nigi rieko e kindeno nopuonj ji mangʼeny, kata obedo ni ginipodhi e dho ligangla kuom kinde matin; kendo nowangʼ-gi gi mach, kendo omakgi, kendo oyakgi,
34 And when they are weak they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall attach themselves to them with treachery.
to giniyud kony matin ka gipodho, kendo jomoko mangʼeny mawuondore nodonj lingʼ-lingʼ diergi.
35 And [some] of them that understand shall fall, to try them as with fire, and to test [them], and that they may be manifested at the time of the end, for the matter [is] yet for a [set] time.
Moko kuom joma riek noyud chandruok, mondo pwodhgi, ikgi kendo ketgi kare nyaka ndalo giko chopi, nikech chiengʼ giko nyaka bi ka kinde ochopo.
36 And he shall do according to his will, and the king shall exalt and magnify himself against every god, and shall speak great swelling words, and shall prosper until the indignation shall be accomplished: for it is coming to an end.
“Ruodhno notim gimoro amora mohero. Enodhialre kendo enotingʼre malo moyombo nyasaye moro amora, kendo enowach gik mapok owinji kuom Nyasaye mar nyiseche. Enobed gi loch nyaka kinde mar mirima mager rum, nikech gik mosechan nyaka timre.
37 And he shall not regard any gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, neither shall he regard any deity: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Ok nodew nyiseche kwerene, kata nyasach mon miluongo ni Tamuz, kata nyasaye moro amora, to enoketre malo moyombogi duto.
38 And he shall honor the god of forces on his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not he shall honor with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and desirable things.
Kar dewo nyisechegigo, to obiro mana miyo duongʼ mana nyasaye mar kuonde mochiel motegno, to nyasaye ma kwerene ne ok olamo obiro miyo duongʼ gi dhahabu kod fedha, gi kite ma nengogi tek kod mich ma nengogi tek.
39 And he shall do [thus] in the strong places of refuge with a strange god, and shall increase his glory: and he shall subject many to them, and shall distribute the land in gifts.
Enomuk kuonde mochiel motegno maonge ngʼama nyalo muko, kotiyo gi teko mar nyasaye moro ma ji okia kendo enochiw mich madongo ne jomo okawe nolich. Jogo enoketi jotelo mag ji mangʼeny kendo enopognegi lowo mar dwokonegi erokamano.
40 And at the end of the time he shall conflict with the king of the south: and the king of the north shall come against him with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and they shall enter into the land: and he shall break in pieces, and pass on:
“To ka giko koro chiegni, ruodh Milambo notug kode lweny, kendo ruodh Nyandwat bende nowuogne gi geche mathoth mag lweny, gi farese kod yiedhi moriedo. Enomonj pinje mathoth kendo enoywegi ka ohula.
41 and he shall enter into the land of beauty, and many shall fail: but these shall escape out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Piny maber bende enomonji. Pinje mangʼeny nopodhi, makmana piny Edom gi Moab kod jotend Amon ema noresi e lwete.
42 And he shall stretch forth [his] hand over the land; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Lochne nolandre kuom pinje mangʼeny kendo kata mana Misri ok notony e lwete.
43 And he shall have the mastery over the secret [treasures] of gold and silver, and over all the desirable [possessions] of Egypt, and of the Libyans and Ethiopians in their strongholds.
Enobed gi teko ewi mwandu duto kaka dhahabu gi fedha, kod mwandu duto mag Misri, kendo jo-Libya gi jo-Kush bende noluore.
44 But rumors and anxieties out of the east and from the north shall trouble him; and he shall come with great wrath to destroy many.
Kata kamano, weche mane owinji koa yo Wuok chiengʼ gi yo Nyandwat nomiye luoro, kendo mano nomede mirima mondo omi onegi kendo otieki ji mangʼeny.
45 And he shall pitch the tabernacle of his palace between the seas in the holy mountain of beauty: [but] he shall come to his portion, and there is none to deliver him.
Enochung hembene mag lochne e kind nembe e tie got maler ma jaber. Kata kamano gikone nochopi, kendo onge ngʼama nokonye.
