< Daniel 11 >

1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní Dariusi ará Media, mo dúró láti tì í lẹ́yìn àti láti dáàbò bò ó.)
2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
“Ní ìsinsin yìí, mo sọ òtítọ́ fún ọ ọba mẹ́ta yóò dìde sí i ní Persia, àti ẹ̀kẹrin tí yóò jẹ́ ọlọ́rọ̀ ju gbogbo wọn lọ. Tí ó bá ti di alágbára nípa ọrọ̀ rẹ̀, yóò sì ru gbogbo wọn sókè lòdì sí ìjọba Giriki.
3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Nígbà náà ni ọba alágbára kan yóò fi ara hàn, yóò ṣe àkóso pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá, yóò sì ṣe bí ó ti wù ú.
4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside these.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó bá fi ara hàn tán, ìjọba rẹ̀ yóò fọ́, yóò sì pín sí mẹ́rin ní orígun mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin ayé, ìjọba náà kò sì ṣọ́wọ́ àwọn ìran rẹ̀ tàbí kí ó ní agbára tí ó ń lò tẹ́lẹ̀, nítorí, a ó fa ìjọba rẹ̀ tu a ó sì fi fún àwọn mìíràn.
5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and [one] of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
“Ọba ìhà gúúsù yóò di alágbára ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀kan lára àwọn aláṣẹ rẹ̀ yóò di alágbára jù ú lọ, yóò sì ṣe àkóso ìjọba rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá.
6 And 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 the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times.

7 But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, which shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
“Ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìdílé e rẹ̀, ọmọbìnrin ọba gúúsù yóò dìde láti gba ipò o rẹ̀. Yóò sì kọlu ogun ọba àríwá, yóò sì wó odi alágbára; yóò bá wọn jà yóò sì borí.
8 And also their gods, with their molten images, [and] with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north.
Yóò gba òrìṣà wọn, ère dídá àti ohun èlò oníye lórí ti fàdákà àti ti wúrà, yóò sì kó wọn lọ sí Ejibiti. Fún ọdún díẹ̀ yóò fi ọba àríwá lọ́rùn sílẹ̀.
9 And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
Nígbà náà, ni ọba àríwá yóò gbógun ti ilẹ̀ ọba, gúúsù, ṣùgbọ́n yóò padà sí Orílẹ̀-èdè, òun fúnra rẹ̀.
10 And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through: and they shall return and war, even to his fortress.
Àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò múra ogun wọn yóò kó ogun ńlá jọ, èyí tí a ó gbá lọ bí àgbàrá omi ńlá, yóò sì gbá a lọ títí dé ìlú olódi rẹ̀.
11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
“Nígbà náà ni ọba gúúsù yóò jáde pẹ̀lú ìbínú, yóò sì bá ọba àríwá jà, ẹni tí yóò kó ọmọ-ogun púpọ̀ jọ, ṣùgbọ́n ọba gúúsù yóò borí i wọn.
12 And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted: and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
Nígbà tí a bá kó ogun náà lọ, ọba gúúsù yóò kún fún agbára, yóò sì pa ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún ní ìpakúpa síbẹ̀ kì yóò ṣẹ́gun.
13 And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, [even of] years, with a great army and with much substance.
Nítorí ọba àríwá yóò lọ kó ogun mìíràn jọ, tí ó pọ̀ ju ti àkọ́kọ́ lẹ́yìn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọdún, yóò jáde pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ogun tí ó ti dira ogun fún dáradára.
14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
“Ní àkókò ìgbà náà, ni ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ yóò dìde sí ọba gúúsù. Àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ nínú àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀ yóò ṣọ̀tẹ̀ ní ìmúṣẹ ìran náà, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì yóò borí.
15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take a well fenced city: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
Nígbà náà ni ọba àríwá yóò wá yóò sì gbé ogun tì í, yóò sì kó ìlú olódi. Ogun ọba gúúsù kò ní ní agbára láti kọjú ìjà sí i; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun tó dára jù kò ní ní agbára láti dúró.
16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction.
Ẹni tí ó gbóguntì í yóò máa ṣe bí ó ti wù ú, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò le è dojúkọ ọ́. Yóò sì fún ara rẹ̀ ní ibùjókòó ní ilẹ̀ tí ó dára, yóò sì ní agbára láti bà á jẹ́.
17 And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he shall do [his pleasure]: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him.
Yóò pinnu láti wá pẹ̀lú agbára ìjọba rẹ̀, yóò sì ní májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú ọba gúúsù yóò sì fi ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ fún un láti fẹ́ ẹ ní ìyàwó nítorí kí ó lè gba ìjọba, ṣùgbọ́n ète rẹ̀ yìí kì yóò dúró tàbí ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún un.
18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him.
Nígbà náà ni yóò yí ara padà sí ilẹ̀ etí Òkun, yóò mú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n aláṣẹ kan yóò mú òpin bá àfojúdi rẹ̀, yóò sì yí àfojúdi rẹ̀ padà sí orí rẹ̀.
19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
Lẹ́yìn èyí, yóò sì yí padà sí ìlú olódi ti orílẹ̀-èdè òun fúnra rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n yóò kọsẹ̀ yóò sì ṣubú, a kì yóò sì rí i mọ́.
20 Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
“Arọ́pò rẹ̀ yóò rán agbowó orí kan jáde láti fi ìdí ipò ọlá ọba múlẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ní ìwọ̀n ọdún díẹ̀, a ó pa á run, kì yóò jẹ́ nípa ìbínú tàbí nínú ogun.
21 And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
“Ẹni tí kò níláárí kan yóò rọ́pò rẹ̀, ẹni tí a kò tí ì fi ọlá ọba fún rí. Yóò sì gbógun sí ìjọba nígbà tí ọkàn àwọn ènìyàn balẹ̀ láìbẹ̀rù, yóò sì gbà á pẹ̀lú àrékérekè.
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be swept away from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.

24 In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: yea, he shall devise his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

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 war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army: but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him.
“Pẹ̀lú ogun púpọ̀, yóò sì ru agbára rẹ̀ àti ìgboyà rẹ̀ sókè sí ọba gúúsù. Ọba gúúsù yóò dìde ogun pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọmọ-ogun tí ó lágbára gidigidi, ṣùgbọ́n kò ní le è dúró, nítorí ọ̀tẹ̀ tí ó gbèrò sí i.
26 Yea, they that eat of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.

27 And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

28 Then shall he return into his land with great substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall do [his pleasure], and return to his own land.
Ọba àríwá yóò padà sí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọrọ̀ púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn rẹ̀ yóò lòdì sí májẹ̀mú mímọ́, yóò sì ṣiṣẹ́ lòdì sí i, yóò sì padà sí orílẹ̀-èdè òun fúnra rẹ̀.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
“Ní àsìkò tí a yàn, yóò gbógun sí gúúsù lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, ṣùgbọ́n ní ìgbà yí àyọríṣí yóò yàtọ̀ sí ti ìṣáájú.
30 For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do [his pleasure]: he shall even return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant.
Nítorí pé, ọkọ̀ ojú omi àwọn ilẹ̀ etídò ìwọ̀-oòrùn yóò takò ó, ọkàn rẹ̀ yóò sì pami. Nígbà náà, ni yóò padà, yóò sì bínú sí májẹ̀mú mímọ́, yóò sì padà, yóò sì fi ojúrere hàn sí àwọn tí ó kọ májẹ̀mú mímọ́ náà.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual [burnt offering]; and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate.
“Agbára ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ yóò dìde láti ba ohun mímọ́ ilé olódi tẹmpili jẹ́, yóò sì pa ẹbọ ojoojúmọ́ rẹ́. Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò gbé ìríra tí ó fa ìsọdahoro kalẹ̀.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries: but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].

33 And they that be wise among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, [many] days.
“Àwọn tí ó mòye yóò máa kọ́ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n fún ìgbà díẹ̀, wọn yóò máa ṣubú nípa idà tàbí kí a jó wọn tàbí ìgbèkùn tàbí nípa ìkógun.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall join themselves unto them with flatteries.

35 And some of them that be wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for the time appointed.

36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods: and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.
“Ọba yóò ṣe bí ó ti wù ú yóò sì gbé ara rẹ̀ ga, ju gbogbo òrìṣà lọ, yóò máa sọ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí kò-ṣe-é-gbọ́-létí sí Ọlọ́run àwọn Ọlọ́run, yóò sì máa yege títí àkókò ìbínú yóò fi parí, nítorí ohun tí a ti pinnu yóò ṣẹlẹ̀.

39 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a strange god; whosoever acknowledgeth [him] he will increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.

40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with 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 enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through.
“Ní ìgbà ìkẹyìn, ọba gúúsù yóò gbé ogun de sí i, ọba àríwá yóò sì jáde bí ìjì láti kọlù ú pẹ̀lú u kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti ẹlẹ́ṣin àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọkọ̀ ojú omi. Yóò gbógun wọ orílẹ̀-èdè púpọ̀, yóò sì bo wọn mọ́lẹ̀ bí ìkún omi.
