Daniel 11
1 And I also, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mbere wa Dario, ũcio Mũmedia, nĩndarũgamire nake ndĩmũteithĩrĩrie na ndĩmwĩkĩre hinya.)
2 And now I will tell thee what is true. Behold, there shall arise yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than they all; and, relying upon his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm 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 But a mighty king shall arise, and rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Ningĩ nĩgũkarahũka mũthamaki ũngĩ ũrĩ na hinya makĩria, ũrĩa ũgaathanaga na hinya mũingĩ na ekage o ũrĩa angĩenda gwĩka.
4 But when he shall have arisen, his kingdom shall be broken in pieces, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor with the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, and divided amongst others besides those.
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 And the king of the South shall become strong; but one of his princes shall become stronger than he, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
“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 And after some years they shall ally themselves with each other; and the daughter of the king of the South shall come to the king of the North, to make peace; but she shall not retain the power of giving aid; neither shall he stand, nor his aid; but she shall be given up, and they that caused her to go, and he that begat her, and he that received 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 from a shoot of her roots shall one arise in his place, who shall come to an army, and shall come against the fortresses of the king of the North, and shall deal with them according to his pleasure, and prevail against them.
“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 And their gods, with their molten images, and their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry into captivity into Egypt; then shall he stand away for many 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 against the kingdom 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 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of large forces; and one of them shall move onward, and overflow, and pass through, and shall again stir himself up to carry on the war even to his stronghold.
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 Then shall the king of the South be enraged, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the North; and shall lead forth 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 And the multitude shall be elated, and his heart shall be lifted up, and he shall cast down tens of thousands; but he shall not be strong.
Aarĩkia gũtaha mbũtũ ĩyo, mũthamaki ũcio wa gũthini nĩakaiyũrwo nĩ mwĩtĩĩo, na ooragithie andũ ngiri nyingĩ, no rĩrĩ, ũhootani wake ndũgatũũra.
13 For the king of the North shall return and raise up against him a multitude greater than the former, and shall steadily come after certain years with a great army and with great riches.
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 will stand up against the king of the South; and violent men of thy people shall exalt themselves, so as to establish the vision, and shall fall.
“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 And the king of the North shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a fortified city; and the arms of the South shall not withstand, neither his chosen men, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
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 And he that cometh against him shall do according to his will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction shall be in his hand.
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 And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and shall make pacification with him; and he shall give him his daughter in marriage, to ruin his dominion. But it shall not succeed, neither shall it be for him.
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 he shall turn his face to the isles, and shall take many; but a commander shall put an end to his scorn; nay, shall cause his scorn to return upon himself.
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 shall he turn his face to the strongholds of his own land; and he shall stumble, and fall, and shall not be found.
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 exacter of tribute through the glory of his kingdom; but within few days shall he be destroyed, neither by anger nor by 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 And in his place shall arise a despised person, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom; but in the midst of peace he shall come in and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
“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 the forces of a flood shall be overwhelmed before him, and shall be broken in pieces; and even the prince that is allied with him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ningĩ, ita rĩrĩ na hinya mũno nĩrĩkahaatwo rĩeherio mbere yake; ita rĩu hamwe na mũnene wa kĩrĩkanĩro nĩmakaniinwo biũ.
23 For after making a league with him, he will practise deceit; for he will come up, and prevail with a small people.
Thuutha wa kũgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano nake, nĩagacooka aheenanie, na arĩ na andũ o anini nĩakarahũka agĩe na hinya.
24 In the midst of security shall he come into the fattest provinces of the land, and he shall do what his fathers never did, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and riches; and he shall form his devices against the strongholds, even to a set 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 be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall form devices 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 Even they that eat of his own food shall destroy him; and his army shall overflow, and many shall fall down slain.
Andũ arĩa marĩĩanagĩra na mũthamaki nĩo makaamũkunyanĩra; ita rĩake nĩrĩgathererio ta andũ megũtwarwo nĩ kĩguũ, na aingĩ ao mooragĩrwo mbaara-inĩ.
27 And the hearts of both these kings shall be to do mischief; and at one table shall they speak lies; but it shall not prosper; for yet the end is for 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 riches; and he will set his heart against the holy covenant, and he will execute his purposes, and 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 again go against the South; but the second time it shall not be as at the first.
“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 the Chittaean ships shall come against him, and he shall be discouraged, and return, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and execute his purposes; and he shall again have an understanding with them that 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 And forces shall be raised by him, which shall pollute the sanctuary, the stronghold, and take away the daily sacrifice, and set up the abomination of the destroyer.
“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 such as do wickedly against the covenant will he lead to apostasy by flatteries; but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
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 they that have understanding among the people shall instruct many; but they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
“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 And whilst they fall they shall receive a little help, and many shall join themselves to them with flatteries.
Maagũa-rĩ, nĩmakaheo ũteithio mũnini, na andũ aingĩ arĩa matarĩ a ma nĩmakegwatania nao.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purify, and cleanse, even to the time of the end, for it is yet at the time appointed.
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 according to his will; and he will exalt himself and magnify himself against every god, and he will speak horrible things against the God of gods, and he will prosper until the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined 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 will he regard the god of his fathers, nor the desire of women; nor will he regard any god, but he will magnify himself against 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 in their place will he honor the god of strongholds, even the god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and with silver, and with precious stones, and with jewels.
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 do his will against fenced strongholds with a strange god; whoever acknowledge him, to them he will give great honor, and give them dominion over many, and divide the land amongst them for a reward.
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 But at the time of the end shall the king of the South push at him, and the king of the North shall rush against him like a whirlwind with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and overflow them, and pass over them.
“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 also enter into the beautiful land, and multitudes shall be overthrown; but these shall escape out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief 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 stretch forth his hand also upon the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Nĩagatambũrũkia guoko gwake mabũrũri-inĩ maingĩ; o naguo bũrũri wa Misiri ndũkahonoka.
43 And he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Lybians and Ethiopians shall be in his train.
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 tidings out of the East and out of the North shall trouble him, and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to take 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 palace-tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain; but he shall come to his end, and none shall 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.
