Daniel 11
1 "And as for me, in the first year of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mbere wa Dario, ũcio Mũmedia, nĩndarũgamire nake ndĩmũteithĩrĩrie na ndĩmwĩkĩre hinya.)
2 And now what I show you is true. Look, there shall arise three more kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all 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 And a powerful king shall arise, who shall rule an extensive empire, and do as he pleases.
Ningĩ nĩgũkarahũka mũthamaki ũngĩ ũrĩ na hinya makĩria, ũrĩa ũgaathanaga na hinya mũingĩ na ekage o ũrĩa angĩenda gwĩka.
4 When he shall arise, his kingdom shall be broken up, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, and will go to others besides 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 The king of the south shall grow strong, and one of his officers shall grow more powerful, and shall have a greater kingdom than his.
“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 At the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain her power; neither shall his strength endure; but she shall be surrendered, and her attendants, and he who became the father of her, and he who supported her in those 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 But out of a shoot from her roots shall arise in his place, who shall come against the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against 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 Also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall withdraw for some years from 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 he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into 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 wage war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance and overflow and pass through, and they shall return and wage war, as far as his fortress.
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 The king of the south shall be moved with rage and shall come forth and fight against him, even with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, and the 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 The multitude shall be taken away, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of 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 The king of the north shall return, and shall raise a multitude greater than the former; and he shall advance after some years with a great army and with abundant supplies.
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: also the violent ones among your people shall rise up in confirmation of the vision; but they shall fail.
“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 So the king of the north shall come, and build up a siege mound and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not prevail, neither his best troops, neither shall there be any strength to resist.
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 But he who comes against him shall do as he pleases, and no one shall be able to withstand him. And he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction will be within his power.
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 He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with him which he shall put into effect. And he shall give him a daughter of women to send destruction on him; but it will not last or be to his advantage.
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 After this shall he turn his face to the coastal regions, and shall capture many. But a commander shall bring his insolence to an end. In addition, he shall repay him for his insolence.
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 Then he shall turn his attention toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found again.
Thuutha wa ũguo, nĩagacooka erekere matũũra marĩa mairigĩre ma bũrũri wake mwene, no nĩakahĩngwo na agwe ũndũ atagacooka kuonwo rĩngĩ.
20 Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, though not in anger 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 In his place shall arise a despicable person, to whom the honor of kingship had not been given, but he shall come in a time of prosperity, and shall obtain the kingdom through deceit.
“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 large armies shall be swept away and shattered before him, as well as 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 an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall become strong with a small force.
Thuutha wa kũgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano nake, nĩagacooka aheenanie, na arĩ na andũ o anini nĩakarahũka agĩe na hinya.
24 In a time of prosperity he shall come even on the richest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor their fathers; he shall distribute among them plunder, and spoil, and property. He shall devise plans against their strongholds, but only for 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 he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall wage war in battle with an extremely large and powerful army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise plans 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 Yes, those who eat of his royal food shall seek to destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall slain.
Andũ arĩa marĩĩanagĩra na mũthamaki nĩo makaamũkunyanĩra; ita rĩake nĩrĩgathererio ta andũ megũtwarwo nĩ kĩguũ, na aingĩ ao mooragĩrwo mbaara-inĩ.
27 As for both these kings, their minds shall be fixed on evil, and they shall speak lies at the table; but it shall not succeed; for still the end shall be at the appointed 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 Then shall he return into his land with great property; and his mind shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall take action, and then return to 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 appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before.
“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 For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be intimidated, and shall turn back, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and shall take action. He shall turn back, and show regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
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 Forces shall come at his order, and they shall profane the sanctuary and the fortress, and shall take away the daily burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that causes 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 those who act wickedly toward the covenant he shall corrupt by smooth words; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and take action.
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 those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.
“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 Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join with them insincerely.
Maagũa-rĩ, nĩmakaheo ũteithio mũnini, na andũ aingĩ arĩa matarĩ a ma nĩmakegwatania nao.
35 Some of those who are wise shall fall, to be refined, purified and cleansed until the time of the end; for the appointed time is still to come.
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 as he pleases. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak outrageous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is decreed shall be done.
“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 Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the one desired by women, nor show regard to any other god, because he shall magnify himself above all.
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 instead he shall honor the god of fortresses; a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold and silver, and with valuable stones, and costly gifts.
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 deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he shall grant considerable honor; and he shall make them rulers over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
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 of the end shall the king of the south attack him. And the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall invade countries, and pass through like a flood.
“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 He shall enter also into the beautiful land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the foremost of the sons 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.
42 He shall reach out his hand also on other countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Nĩagatambũrũkia guoko gwake mabũrũri-inĩ maingĩ; o naguo bũrũri wa Misiri ndũkahonoka.
43 But he shall have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his feet.
Nĩakenyiitĩra igĩĩna ciothe cia thahabu na cia betha, o na ũtonga wa bũrũri wa Misiri wothe na hinya, nao andũ a Libia na a Kushi mamwĩnyiihĩrie.
44 But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with tremendous rage to destroy and utterly sweep away many.
No rĩrĩ, ndũmĩrĩri iria ikaamũkinyĩra ciumĩte mwena wa irathĩro na wa gathigathini nĩikamũmakia, nake oimagare arĩ na marakara maingĩ athiĩ akaanange na aniine andũ aingĩ biũ.
45 And he shall pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with no one to help him.
Akaamba hema ciake cia ũthamaki gatagatĩ ka iria rĩrĩa inene kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩrĩa gĩtheru na gĩthaka mũno. No rĩrĩ, nĩagakinya mũthia wake, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũkaamũteithia.
