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;
Ko ahau, i tu ake ahau i te tau tuatahi o Tariuha Meri, ki te whakau, ki te whakakaha i a ia.
2 and, now, truth I declare to thee, Lo, yet three kings are standing for Persia, and the fourth doth become far richer than all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirreth up the whole, with the kingdom of Javan.
Na, ka whakaatu ahau inaianei ki a koe i te pono. Nana, tera e ara ake ano etahi atu kingi e toru i Pahia; a, ko te tuawha, ka nui noa atu nga taonga i o te katoa. Na, kia kaha ia i ona taonga, ka whakaohokia e ia te katoa ki te whawhai ki te kin gitanga o Kariki.
3 And a mighty king hath stood, and he hath ruled a great dominion, and hath done according to his will;
Na tera e tu ake tetahi kingi marohirohi, he nui tona kingitanga e kingi ai ia, a ka mahia e ia tana e pai ai.
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.
A, ina tu ake ia, ka pakaru tona kingitanga, ka wehewehea atu ki nga hau e wha o te rangi; kahore ia ki o muri i a ia, e kore ano e rite ki tona kingitanga i kingi ai ia; no te mea ka hutia atu tona kingitanga, mo etahi atu ano ia ehara nei i ene i.
5 'And a king of the south — even of his princes — doth become strong, and doth prevail against him, and hath ruled; a great dominion [is] his dominion.
Na ka kaha te kingi o te tonga, me tetahi o ana rangatira; ka neke ake ano tona kaha ki runga ake i to tera, a ka kingi; hei kingitanga nui tona kingitanga.
6 'And at the end of years they do join themselves together, and a daughter of the king of the south doth come in unto the king of the north to do upright things; and she doth not retain the power of the arm; and he doth 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.
Na i te mutunga o nga tau ka honoa raua, ka haere mai hoki te tamahine a te kingi o te tonga, ki te kingi o te raki ki te whakarite tikanga: otiia e kore e mau i taua wahine te kaha o tona ringa; e kore ano e tu te tane me tona ringa: heoi ka tuk ua atu te wahine, me te hunga nana ia i kawe mai, me te matua tane nana nei ia, me tona kaiwhakakaha i aua wa.
7 'And [one] hath stood up from a branch of her roots, [in] his station, and he cometh in unto the bulwark, yea, he cometh into a stronghold of the king of the south, and hath wrought against them, and hath done mightily;
Otiia tera e tu ake tetahi i tona wahi, he manga no nga pakiaka o te wahine, a ka haere mai ki te taua, ka tomo ki te pa o te kingi o te raki, a ka mahi i roto i a ratou, ka kaha ano:
8 and also their gods, with their princes, with their desirable vessels of silver and gold, into captivity he bringeth [into] Egypt; and he doth stand more years than the king of the north.
Ka whakaraua ano e ia o ratou atua, a ratou whakapakoko whakarewa, a ratou oko ano hoki e matenuitia ana, nga mea hiriwa, nga mea koura ka kawea ki Ihipa; a ka mutu tana whawhai ki te kingi o te raki mo etahi tau.
9 'And the king of the south hath come into the kingdom, and turned back unto his own land;
A ka haere ia ki te kingitanga o te kingi o te tonga, engari ka hoki ano ia ki tona ake whenua.
10 and his sons stir themselves up, and have gathered a multitude of great forces, and he hath certainly come in, and overflowed, and passed through, and he turneth back, and they stir themselves up unto his stronghold.
Na ka whawhai ana tama, a ka huihuia e ratou he ope, he maha nga taua: na ka haere mai aua ope, kei te waipuke te rite, a puta rawa atu: a ka hoki ratou, ka whawhai, a tae tonu ki to tera pa.
11 And the king of the south doth become embittered, and hath gone forth and fought with him, with the king of the north, and hath caused a great multitude to stand, and the multitude hath been given into his hand,
Na ka riri te kingi o te tonga, a ka puta mai, ka whawhai ki a ia, ara ki te kingi o te raki; a he nui te ope e ara i tenei, a ka hoatu te ope ki to tera ringa.
12 and he hath carried away the multitude, his heart is high, and he hath caused myriads to fall, and he doth not become strong.
A ka whakaarahia te ope, ka kake tona ngakau: a ka whakataka e ia nga mano tini, otiia e kore ia e whai kaha.
13 'And the king of the north hath turned back, and hath caused a multitude to stand, greater than the first, and at the end of the times a second time he doth certainly come in with a great force, and with much substance;
Na ka hoki mai te kingi o te raki, maha atu hoki i o mua te ope e ara i a ia; a, ka tae mai ia i te mutunga o etahi wa, ara o nga tau, he nui tana ope, he nui nga taonga.
14 and in those times many do stand up against the king of the south, and sons of the destroyers of thy people do lift themselves up to establish the vision — and they have stumbled.
I aua wa he tokomaha e whakatika ki te kingi o te tonga: ka whakakake ano nga tama tutu o tou iwi, kia tutuki ai te kite ra; otiia ka taka ratou.
15 'And the king of the north cometh in, and poureth out a mount, and hath captured fenced cities; and the arms of the south do not stand, nor the people of his choice, yea, there is no power to stand.
Heoi ka haere mai te kingi o te raki; ka haupuria ake ano he pukepuke e ia, a ka riro i a ia te pa he nui rawa nei te taiepa: e kore ano nga ringa o te tonga e u, e kore ano tana iwi i whiriwhiri ai, kahore he kaha e u ai.
16 And he who is coming unto him doth according to his will, and there is none standing before him; and he standeth in the desirable land, and [it is] wholly in his hand.
Otiia ko tenei ka haere mai nei ki a ia, ka mahia e ia tana e pai ai, e kore ano tetahi e tu ki tona aroaro: na ka tu ia ki te whenua ataahua, a kei tona ringa te whakangaromanga.
17 And he setteth his face to go in with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he hath wrought, and the daughter of women he giveth to him, to corrupt her; and she doth not stand, nor is for him.
Ka anga ano tona mata, ka mea kia haere mai ia i runga i te kaha o tona kingitanga katoa, me te hunga tika ano hei hoa mona; na ka mahi ia i tana e pai ai: ka homai ano e ia ki a ia te tamahine a nga wahine, hei takakino mana: otiia e kore tera e tu, e kore hoki e mahi mona.
18 'And he turneth back his face to the isles, and hath captured many; and a prince hath caused his reproach of himself to cease; without his reproach he turneth [it] back to him.
I muri i tenei ka tahuri tona mata ki nga motu, a he maha e riro i a ia: otiia ma tetahi rangatira e mea kia mutu te ingoa kino e tapaea ana e ia: ae ra, ka meinga e ia tana whakaingoa kino kia hoki ki a ia ano.
19 And he turneth back his face to the strongholds of his land, and hath stumbled and fallen, and is not found.
Katahi tona mata ka tahuri atu ki nga pa o tona whenua; otiia ka tutuki ona waewae, a ka hinga ia, kore ake e kitea.
20 'And stood up on his station hath [one] causing an exactor to pass over the honour of the kingdom, and in a few days he is destroyed, and not in anger, nor in battle.
Katahi ka tu ake i tona wahi tetahi mana e mea he kaitono takoha kia takahi i roto i te kororia o te kingitanga: otiia kia torutoru ake nga ra ka whakangaromia ai, kahore he riri, kahore hoki he whawhai.
21 'And stood up on his station hath a despicable one, and they have not given unto him the honour of the kingdom, and he hath come in quietly, and hath strengthened the kingdom by flatteries.
Ka whakatika ake ano ki runga ki tona wahi tetahi tangata e whakahaweatia ana, ehara nei te kororia o te rangatiratanga i te mea hoatu ki a ia: ka haere mai ia i te wa ata noho, a ka riro i a ia te kingitanga, na te patipati.
22 And the arms of the flood are overflowed from before him, and are broken; and also the leader of the covenant.
A ka taupokina ratou e nga ringa o te waipuke i tona aroaro, mongamonga noa ratou; me te rangatira ano hoki o te kawenata.
23 And after they join themselves unto him, he worketh deceit, and hath increased, and hath been strong by a few of the nation.
I muri ano i tana whakaaetanga korero ka mahi tinihanga ia: ka haere mai hoki ia, a ka kaha, he torutoru ano hoki ana tangata.
24 Peaceably even into the fertile places of the province He cometh, and he hath done that which his fathers did not, nor his fathers' fathers; prey, and spoil, and substance, to them he scattereth, and against fenced places he deviseth his devices, even for a time.
Hei te wa ata noho ka tae mai ia ki nga wahi momona ra ano o te kawanatanga; ka mahia e ia nga mea kihai i mahia e ona matua, e nga matua o ona matua; ka titaria ano e ia nga mea parakete, nga mea pahua, nga taonga, ki roto ki a ratou: ae ra, ka whakaaroa ano e ia ona whakaaro mo nga pa, a kia taka ra ano tetahi taima.
25 'And he stirreth up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great force, and the king of the south stirreth himself up to battle with a very great and mighty force, and standeth not, for they devise devices against him,
Ka whakaohokia ano e ia tona kaha me tona maia ki te whawhai ki te kingi o te tonga, he nui te ope; ka oho ano hoki te kingi o te tonga, ka whawhai, he ope nui atu, he kaha atu; otiia e kore ia e tu: no te mea ka whakaaroa e ratou he whakaaro ki no mona.
26 and those eating his portion of food destroy him, and his force overfloweth, and fallen have many wounded.
Ina, ka pakaru ia i te hunga i kai i tana wahi kai, ko te taua hoki a tera kei te waipuke te rite: he tokomaha ano e hinga, mate rawa.
27 'And both of the kings' hearts [are] to do evil, and at one table they speak lies, and it doth not prosper, for yet the end [is] at a time appointed.
Na ko enei kingi tokorua, ko o raua ngakau ka mea mo te kino, a ka korero teka raua i te tepu kotahi; otiia kahore he painga; ka noho tonu mai hoki te mutunga, hei te wa i whakaritea.
28 And he turneth back [to] his land with great substance, and his heart [is] against the holy covenant, and he hath wrought, and turned back to his land.
Hei reira ia ka hoki ki tona whenua me nga taonga maha; a ko tona ngakau ka mea ki te takahi i te kawenata tapu; ka mahi ia i tana e pai ai, a ka hoki atu ki tona whenua.
29 At the appointed time he turneth back, and hath come against the south, and it is not as the former, and as the latter.
I te wa i whakaritea ka hoki ia, a ka haere mai ki te tonga; otiia e kore e rite to muri nei ki to mua ra.
30 And ships of Chittim have come in against him, and he hath been pained, and hath turned back, and hath been insolent toward the holy covenant, and hath wrought, and turned back, and he understandeth concerning those forsaking the holy covenant.
No te mea ka rere mai nga kaipuke o Kitimi ki te whawhai ki a ia. Na ka pouri ia, a ka hoki, ka riri ki te kawenata tapu, a ka mahi ia i tana e pai ai; a ka tino hoki ia, ka whai whakaaro ki te hunga i whakarerea ai te kawenata tapu.
31 And strong ones out of him stand up, and have polluted the sanctuary, the stronghold, and have turned aside the continual [sacrifice], and appointed the desolating abomination.
Ka ara ano etahi ringa hei whakauru mona, a ka whakapokea te wahi tapu, ara te wahi kaha, ka whakakahoretia ano e ratou te patunga tapu, te mea tuturu, ka tu ano i a ratou te mea whakarihariha, te mea whakangaro.
32 And those acting wickedly [against] the covenant, he defileth by flatteries; and the people knowing their God are strong, and have wrought.
Na, ko te hunga e mahi kino ana ki te kawenata ka whakangaua ketia e ia, he mea whakapati nana: ko te hunga ia e mohio ana ki to ratou Atua, ka kaha ratou, ka mahi i nga mahi.
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.
Na, ko te hunga whakaaro nui i roto i te iwi, he tokomaha a ratou e whakaako ai: otiia he maha nga ra e hinga ai ratou i te hoari, i te mura, i te whakarau, i te pahua.
34 And in their stumbling, they are helped — a little help, and joined to them have been many with flatteries.
A ka hinga ratou, ka awhinatia mai ratou, he iti ia te awhina: he tokomaha ia e piri ki a ratou, he mea whakapati.
35 And some of the teachers do stumble for refining by them, and for purifying, and for making white — till the end of the time, for [it is] yet for a time appointed.
Ka hinga ano etahi o te hunga matau, he mea e tahia ai to ratou para, e pokekore ai, e ma ai ratou, a taea noatia te wa o te whakamutunga: no te mea ko taua mea mo te wa ra ano i whakaritea.
36 'And the king hath done according to his will, and exalteth himself, and magnifieth himself against every god, and against the God of gods he speaketh wonderful things, and hath prospered till the indignation hath been completed, for that which is determined hath been done.
Ka mahia ano e te kingi tana e pai ai; ka whakaneke ake ano i a ia, ka whakanui i a ia ki runga ake i nga atua katoa, he whakamaharo ano ana whakapehapeha mo te Atua o nga atua; ka kake ano ia, taea noatia te whakapotonga o te riri: ka mahia hok i te mea i whakaritea.
37 And unto the God of his fathers he doth not attend, nor to the desire of women, yea, to any god he doth not attend, for against all he magnifieth himself.
E kore ano ia e whai whakaaro ki nga atua o ona matua, e hiahia ranei ki te wahine, e kore ano e whai whakaaro ki tetahi atua: no te mea ko ia tana e whakanui ai ki runga ake i te katoa.
38 And to the god of strongholds, on his station, he giveth honour; yea, to a god whom his fathers knew not he giveth honour, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stone, and with desirable things.
Otiia i tona wahi ano ka whakahonoretia e ia te atua o nga wahi kaha; he atua kihai i mohiotia e ona matua tana e whakahonore ai ki te koura, ki te hiriwa, ki te kohatu utu nui, ki nga mea e matenuitia ana.
39 And he hath dealt in the fortresses of the strongholds with a strange god whom he hath acknowledged; he multiplieth honour, and hath caused them to rule over many, and the ground he apportioneth at a price.
Ko tana tenei e mea ai i nga wahi tino kaha, a ko tona hoa ko tetahi atua ke; ko te tangata e whakaae ana ki a ia ka whakanuia e ia ki te kororia: a ka meinga ratou e ia hei kawana mo nga tangata tokomaha, ka wehewehea ano hoki e ia te whenua mo tetahi utu.
40 'And at the time of the end, push himself forward with him doth a king of the south, and storm against him doth a king of the north, with chariot, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he hath come in to the lands, and hath overflowed, and passed over,
A i nga wa o te mutunga ka whawhai te kingi o te tonga ki a ia: a ka kokiri mai te kingi o te raki ano he paroro te rite, me nga hariata, me nga kaieke hoiho, me nga kaipuke maha; a ka tomo ia ki nga whenua, ka paaha me te waipuke, a tika tonu a tu.
41 and hath come into the desirable land, and many do stumble, and these escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.
Ka tae ano ia ki te whenua ataahua, a he maha nga whenua e hinga: ko enei ia e mawhiti i roto i tona ringa, ko Eroma, ko Moapa, ko nga upoko o nga tama a Amona.
42 'And he sendeth forth his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt is not for an escape;
Ka totoro ano tona ringa ki nga whenua: e kore ano te whenua o Ihipa e mawhiti.
43 and he hath ruled over treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt, and Lubim and Cushim [are] at his steps.
Otiia ka noho ko ia hei rangatira mo nga taonga, ara mo te koura, mo te hiriwa, mo nga mea katoa o Ihipa e matenuitia ana; a ka whai nga Rupimi me nga Etiopiana i ona takahanga.
44 'And reports trouble him out of the east and out of the north, and he hath gone forth in great fury to destroy, and to devote many to destruction;
Otiia ka raruraru ia i nga korero i te rawhiti, i te raki; na he nui te riri e puta mai ai ia, a he tokomaha ana e whakangaro ai, e huna ai.
45 and he planteth the tents of his palace between the seas and the holy desirable mountain, and hath come unto his end, and there is no helper to him.
A ka whakaturia e ia nga teneti o tona whare kingi, ki waenganui o te moana, o te maunga tapu ataahua; otiia ka tae ia ki tona mutunga, kahore hoki he awhina mona.
