< Daniel 11 >

1 “And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, my standing [is] for a strengthener, and for a stronghold to him;
Aa ty amako, ie tan-taom-baloha’ i Dariavese nte-Madày le nitroatse hañosike naho hampaozatse aze.
2 and now, I declare to you truth: Behold, yet three kings are standing for Persia, and the fourth becomes far richer than all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirs up the whole, with the kingdom of Javan.
Ie henane zao le haboako ama’o ty hatò. Inay, fa ho mpanjaka telo ty e Parase ao, fa hanontoñe vara bey te amy telo rey iaby ty fah’efatse; le i hafatrara’ey añamo vara’eo ty hampitrobotroboe’e i màroy haname Iavane.
3 And a mighty king has stood, and he has ruled a great dominion, and has done according to his will;
Hiongak’ amy zao ty mpanjaka mahimbañe, le ho felehe’e ty fifeheañe jabajaba vaho hanoe’e ze satri’e.
4 and according to his standing is his kingdom broken, and divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom is plucked up—and for others apart from these.
Fa ie mifehe, le ho folaheñe i fifehea’ey vaho ho zaraeñe amo tiok’efa’ i likerañeio, fe tsy amo tarira’eo, ndra amy fifeheañe nifelehe’ey; fa hombotañe ho amo ila’e tsy a’ iareoo i fifehea’ey.
5 And a king of the south—even of his princes—becomes strong, and prevails against him, and has ruled; a great dominion [is] his dominion.
Le i mpanjaka’ i atimoiy, ty raik’ amo mpifele’eo ro hampifatra-batañe naho handikoatse aze vaho hihaozatse; ho bey henehene i fifehea’ey.
6 And at the end of years they join themselves together, and a daughter of the king of the south comes to the king of the north to do upright things; and she does not retain the power of the arm; and he does not stand, nor his arm; and she is given up, she, and those bringing her in, and her child, and he who is strengthening her in [these] times.
Fa ie migadoñe i sa zay, le hifampipiteke iereo; fa homb’ amy mpanjaka’ i avaratsey ty anak’ ampela’ i atimoy hifañina, fe tsy ho tana’e ty hafatraram-pità’e; tsy hahafitroatse ka i lahilahiy ndra i fità’ey, fa haitoañe rekets’ o nanese azeo naho i nisamak’ azey, vaho o mpañimb’ aze amy andro zaio.
7 And [one] has stood up from a branch of her roots, [in] his station, and he comes to the bulwark, indeed, he comes into a stronghold of the king of the north, and has worked against them, and has done mightily;
Fe boak’ ami’ty singam-baha’e ty hitroara’ ty raik’ amy fiambesa’ey naho hivotrak’ amy mpirai-lian-dahin­defoñey naho himoak’ an-kijoly fatra’ i mpanjaka avaratsey naho hanoe’e am’ iereo ze satri’e, vaho hahagioke;
8 and also their gods, with their princes, with their desirable vessels of silver and gold, he brings in captivity [to] Egypt; and he stands more years than the king of the north.
le fonga ho tavane’e naho hendese’e am-pandrohizañe mb’e Mitsraime añe o ndrahare’ iareoo, rekets’ o roandria’eo, naho o fanake volafoty naho volamena sa­rotseo, ie hahatam-bàtañe taoñe maromaro amy mpanjaka’ i avaratseiy.
9 And the king of the south has come into the kingdom, and turned back to his own land;
Izay ty himoaha’ i mpanjaka’ i atimoy i fifeheañey vaho himpoly an-tane’e añe.
10 and his sons stir themselves up, and have gathered a multitude of great forces, and he has certainly come in, and overflowed, and passed through, and he turns back, and they stir themselves up to his stronghold.
Fe hitrobo-vatañe o ana’eo naho hatonto’ iareo ty hatozantozan-dian-dahindefoñe naho hiherereake mb’eo, le hisorotombake, naho hiranga, naho hitolike vaho haname i kijoli’e fatra­tsey an-kaviñerañe.
11 And the king of the south becomes embittered, and has gone forth and fought with him, with the king of the north, and has caused a great multitude to stand, and the multitude has been given into his hand,
Aa le hiforoforo amy zao i mpanjaka’ i atimoy naho haname aze vaho hialy ama’e, amy mpanjaka’ i avaratseiy, aa ndra t’ie valobohòke ro havotra’e amy montoñey, toe hene hatolotse am-pità’e i valobohòkey.
12 and he has carried away the multitude, his heart is high, and he has caused myriads to fall, and he does not become strong.
Aa ie fa nasese’e i valobohòkey, le hirengevoke ty arofo’e, vaho añ’ ale añ’ ale ty hafetsa’e ambane, fe tsy hampanjofak’ aze.
13 And the king of the north has turned back, and has caused a multitude to stand, greater than the first, and at the end of the times a second time he certainly comes in with a great force, and with much substance;
Ie añe, le hatonto’ i mpanjaka avara­tsey ty lahi-ale mandikoatse i teoy, le ie am-pigadoñan-tsà naho taoñe ro hañoridañe mb’eo reketse lian-dahialen-defoñe mitozantozañe naho haraotse tsifotofoto.
14 and in those times many stand up against the king of the south, and sons of the destroyers of your people lift themselves up to establish the vision—and they have stumbled.
Fe maro ty hitroatse haname i mpanjaka’ i atimoy amy sa zay; o ana-piaroteñe am’ondati’oo ty hitroatse hañenefa’ iareo i aroñaroñey, fe hihotrake.
15 And the king of the north comes in, and pours out a mound, and has captured fortified cities; and the arms of the south do not stand, nor the people of his choice, indeed, there is no power to stand.
Aa le homb’eo ty mpanjaka’ i avaratsey hamotry tamboho naho hitavañe ty rova maòzatse, le tsy hahatañ’ aze o fità’atimoo, ndra i lia-raike jinobo’ey, ie ho po-haozarañe tsy hahafitroatse.
16 And he who is coming to him does according to his will, and there is none standing before him; and he stands in the desirable land, and [it is] wholly in his hand.
Hanao ze satri’e i haname azey, naho tsy eo ty hahafiatrek’ ama’e, ie hijohañe amy tane engeñey, vaho fanjamanañe ty ho am-pità’e.
17 And he sets his face to go in with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he has worked, and the daughter of women he gives to him, to corrupt her; and she does not stand, nor is for him.
Hampiatrefe’e laharañe homba’e mb’eo reketse ze hene haozaram-pifehea’e naho hifañina’e: hatolo’e aze ty anak’ ampelan-drakemba, hampimomohañe aze; fe tsy hijohañe ho aze i ampelay vaho tsy ho tohaña’e.
18 And he turns back his face to the islands, and has captured many; and a prince has caused his reproach of himself to cease; without his reproach he turns [it] back to him.
Aa le hampitolihe’e mb’amo tokonoseo ty lahara’e, le ho tavane’e ty maro, fe hampijihetse ty fañinjea’e ty roandriañe vaho hafote’e ama’e i fañinjea’ey.
19 And he turns back his face to the strongholds of his land, and has stumbled and fallen, and is not found.
Hampitolihe’e laharañe mb’ amo kijoly an-tane’eo, fe hitsikapy re toe hikoromake vaho tsy ho tendreke ka.
20 And stood up on his station has [one] causing an exactor to pass over the honor of the kingdom, and in a few days he is destroyed, and not in anger, nor in battle.
Hitroatse handimbe aze ty hampiranga mpamori-haba ami’ty enge’ i fifeheañey; f’ie modo ty andro tsy ampe le ho folake tsy aman-kaboseke tsy aman-aly.
21 And a despicable one has stood up on his station, and they have not given to him the splendor of the kingdom, and he has come in quietly, and has strengthened the kingdom by flatteries.
Handimbe aze ty lo-tse­reke; tsy hatolotse ama’e ty asi’ i fifeheañey; f’ie hivotrake eo am-pilongoañe le ho azo’e an-kabeake i fifeheañey.
22 And the arms of the flood are overflowed from before him, and are broken; and also the leader of the covenant.
Lahindefo tsifotofoto ty hisaok’ añatrefa’e hoe sinaon-tsorotombake, vaho ho pozaheñe; eka, ndra i ana-dona’ i fañinaiy.
23 And after they join themselves to him, he works deceit, and has increased, and has been strong by a few of the nation.
Ie nifandrimboñe, te mone hitolom-pamañahiañe, vaho hitroatse naho hihaozatse am-borizàñe kedekedeke.
24 Peaceably even into the fertile places of the province He comes, and he has done that which his fathers did not, nor his fathers’ fathers; prey, and spoil, and substance, he scatters to them, and against fortifications he devises his plans, even for a time.
Hivotrak’ amo toetse vondrak’ amy faritaneio re an-tsam-pierañerañañe; vaho hanoe’e am’ iereo ty tsy nanoen-drae’e, ndra o roaen-drae’eo; ho zarae’e am’ iereo ty tsindroke, ty kopake, naho ty vara; eka hikinia ty fikililia’e amo rova fatra­tseo fe am-para’ i àndroy avao.
25 And he stirs up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great force, and the king of the south stirs himself up to battle with a very great and mighty force, and does not stand, for they devise plans against him,
Ho trobotroboe’e ty hafatrara’e naho ty hahavania’e hiatreke i mpanjaka’ i atimoy ami’ty hatozantozan-dahin-defo’e; hihàroke hihotakotake ty mpanjaka’ i atimoy an-dia-rain-dahin-defo jabajaba naho maozatse; fe tsy hahafijohañe, amy t’ie hikinià’ iareo.
26 and those eating his portion of food destroy him, and his force overflows, and many wounded have fallen.
Eka, o mitrao-pikama ama’eo ty handrotsak’ aze, naho hisaok’ añe i lia-rain-dahin-defo’ey, vaho lako ty hitsingoritritse am-pizamanañe.
27 And both of the kings’ hearts [are] to do evil, and at one table they speak lies, and it does not prosper, for yet the end [is] at a time appointed.
Le ty amy mpanjaka roroey, hifamañahy avao ty arofo’ iareo, vaho hifandañitse am-pandambañañe eo, fe tsy hiraorao; amy te i andro tinendrey avao ty higadoña’e.
28 And he turns back [to] his land with great substance, and his heart [is] against the holy covenant, and he has worked, and turned back to his land.
Ie mimpoly mb’an-tane’e mb’ eo, amam-bara tsifotofoto, le te hiatreatre i fañina miavakey ty tro’e, naho hanoe’e ze satri’e, vaho himpoly an-tane’e añe.
29 At the appointed time he turns back, and has come against the south, and it is not as the former, and as the latter.
Ie añ’andro tinendre le hibalike, vaho hivotrak’ atimo ao; fe tsy ho hambañe amy taoloy i henane zay.
30 And ships of Chittim have come in against him, and he has been pained, and has turned back, and has been insolent toward the holy covenant, and has worked, and turned back, and he understands concerning those forsaking the holy covenant.
F’ie tamè o sambo’ i Kitìo le hanahelo naho himpoly vaho hatorifi’e i fañina miavakey; aa le hanoe’e ze satri’e naho hibalike vaho hitrao-kilily amo namo­rintseñe i fañina miavakeio.
31 And strong ones stand up out of him, and have defiled the sanctuary, the stronghold, and have turned aside the continual [sacrifice], and appointed the desolating abomination.
Hanontoñe lahin-defon-dre, le ho leore’ iareo i toetse miavakey naho i rova fatratsey, vaho hapitso’ iareo i fisoroñañe boak’ àndroy, handim­beza’ iareo fiterateràñe mampangoakoake.
32 And those acting wickedly [against] the covenant, he defiles by flatteries; and the people knowing their God are strong, and have worked.
Hanao kabeake re hampanan-kakeo o mifotetse amy fañinaio, fe hihaozatse ondaty mahafohiñe an’ Andria­nañahare’eo vaho hitoloñe.
33 And the teachers of the people give understanding to many; and they have stumbled by sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil—days.
Hampahilala i màroy o mahihitse am’ondatio, fe hampikorovohem-pibara naho afo, naho fandrohizañe, vaho fikopahañe andro maro.
34 And in their stumbling, they are helped—a little help, and joined to them have been many with flatteries.
Ie mikorovoke le holorañe fañolo­rañe kedeke, fe an-tsiriry ty hipiteha’ i màroy am’ iereo.
35 And some of the teachers stumble for refining by them, and for purifying, and for making white—until the end of the time, for [it is] yet for a time appointed.
Hitsikapy ka ty ila’ o mahihitse am’ iereoo, ho tranaheñe naho lioveñe naho fotieñe ampara’ ty sa honka’e, fa mbe añe i andro tinendrey.
36 And the king has done according to his will, and exalts himself, and magnifies himself against every god, and he speaks wonderful things against the God of gods, and has prospered until the indignation has been completed, for that which is determined has been done.
Hanao ze satri’e i mpanjakay, hitoabotse naho hisenge ambone’ ze atao ndrahare naho hilañoñe hatera­teràñe mahatan­goangoa aman’ Andria­nañaharen-drahare vaho hiraorao am-para’ te heneke i hatorifihañey, fa ho henefeñe ze tinendre.
37 And to the God of his fathers he does not attend, nor to the desire of women, indeed, he does not attend to any god, for he magnifies himself against all.
Tsy hahoa’e t’i Andria­nañaharen-droae’e, ndra ty fikokoan-ampela, ndra ty fañisohan’ añahare ia’ia; fa hitoabotoabotse ambone’ ze kila raha.
38 And to the god of strongholds, on his station, he gives honor; indeed, to a god whom his fathers did not know he gives honor, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stone, and with desirable things.
Te mone hiasia’e ty ndraharen-toem-pàtratse, ndrahare tsy nifohin-droae’e; hiasie’e am-bolamena naho volafoty naho vato-soa vaho hareañe saro-bily.
39 And he has dealt in the fortresses of the strongholds with a strange god whom he has acknowledged; he multiplies honor, and has caused them to rule over many, and the ground he apportions at a price.
Hi­traok’ amo mpi­aman-drahare kihàfao re hamboatse fipalirañe maozatse, le hampi­toabore’e ty enge’ iareo naho hampi­felehe’e ty maro vaho ho zarae’e i taney hahazoa’e tombo’e.
40 And at the time of the end, a king of the south pushes himself forward with him, and a king of the north storms against him, with chariot, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he has come into the lands, and has overflowed, and passed over,
Aa ie migadoñe i sa zay le hikapàke ama’e ty mpanjaka atimo, fe hampibobo tangololahy ama’e an-tsarete ty mpanjaka avaratse reketse soavala vaho sambo maro, hene hivotraha’e o taneo, ho sorotombahe’e ami’ty firanga’e mb’eo.
41 and has come into the desirable land, and many stumble, and these escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.
Homb’ amy tane rengèñey re le hihotrake ty fifeheañe maro, fe iretoañe ty hipolatitse am-pità’e: i Edome naho i Moabe vaho ty talen’ ana’ i Amone.
42 And he sends forth his hand on the lands, and the land of Egypt is not for an escape;
Hatorakitsi’e amo taneo ty fità’e vaho tsy hahafandrifitse ama’e ty tane Mitsraime.
43 and he has ruled over treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt, and Lubim and Cushim [are] at his steps.
Fonga ho fehè’e o vara volamena naho vola­fotio naho ze raha saro-bili’ i Mitsraime; le ho atimpahe’e o nte-Lobìo naho o nte-Kosio.
44 And reports trouble him out of the east and out of the north, and he has gone forth in great fury to destroy, and to devote many to destruction;
Fe hitsobore aze ty talily boak’ atiñanañe naho avaratse añe; aa le hionjomb’eo re am-poroforo mandofiry handro­tsake naho hanja­mañe ty maro.
45 and he plants the tents of his palace between the seas and the holy desirable mountain, and has come to his end, and there is no helper to him.”
Hajado’e añivo’ o riakeo naho i vohitse miavake fanjàkay o sokemitrahan-drova’eo vaho higadoñe ty fiai’e, tsy amam-pañolotse.
