Danieli 11
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mbere wa Dario, ũcio Mũmedia, nĩndarũgamire nake ndĩmũteithĩrĩrie na ndĩmwĩkĩre hinya.)
“As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
2 “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.
“Now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings will stand up in Persia. The fourth will be far richer than all of them. When he has grown strong through his riches, he will stir up all against the realm of Greece.
3 Ningĩ nĩgũkarahũka mũthamaki ũngĩ ũrĩ na hinya makĩria, ũrĩa ũgaathanaga na hinya mũingĩ na ekage o ũrĩa angĩenda gwĩka.
A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
4 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.
When he stands up, his kingdom will be broken and will be divided toward the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be plucked up, even for others besides these.
5 “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.
“The king of the south will be strong. One of his princes will become stronger than him, and have dominion. His dominion will be a great dominion.
6 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.
At the end of years they will join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement, but she will not retain the strength of her arm. He will also not stand, nor will his arm; but she will be given up, with those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened her in those times.
7 “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.
“But out of a shoot from her roots one will stand up in his place, who will come to the army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and will deal against them and will prevail.
8 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.
He will also carry their gods with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, captive into Egypt. He will refrain some years from the king of the north.
9 Nake mũthamaki wa gathigathini nĩagatharĩkĩra mũthamaki ũcio wa bũrũri wa gũthini, no nĩagacooka ahũndũke nginya bũrũri-inĩ wake.
He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will return into his own land.
10 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.
His sons will wage war, and will assemble a multitude of great forces which will come on, and overflow, and pass through. They will return and wage war, even to his fortress.
11 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki wa gũthini nĩakoimagara arĩ na marũrũ akahũũrane na mũthamaki ũcio wa gathigathini, ũrĩa ũkaarahũra ita inene, no nĩakahootwo.
“The king of the south will be moved with anger and will come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north. He will send out a great multitude, and the multitude will be given into his hand.
12 Aarĩkia gũtaha mbũtũ ĩyo, mũthamaki ũcio wa gũthini nĩakaiyũrwo nĩ mwĩtĩĩo, na ooragithie andũ ngiri nyingĩ, no rĩrĩ, ũhootani wake ndũgatũũra.
The multitude will be carried off, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he won’t prevail.
13 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.
The king of the north will return, and will send out a multitude greater than the former. He will come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with abundant supplies.
14 “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.
“In those times many will stand up against the king of the south. Also the children of the violent among your people will lift themselves up to establish the vision, but they will fall.
15 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.
So the king of the north will come and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. The forces of the south won’t stand, neither will his select troops, neither will there be any strength to stand.
16 Nake ũcio ũkaamatharĩkĩra nĩageeka o ta ũrĩa ekwĩendera; gũtirĩ ũkaahota kũmwĩtiiria. Nĩakehaanda kũu Bũrũri-inĩ ũcio Mũthaka na akorwo arĩ na hinya wa kũwananga.
But he who comes against him will do according to his own will, and no one will stand before him. He will stand in the glorious land, and destruction will be in his hand.
17 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.
He will set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions. He will perform them. He will give him the daughter of women, to destroy the kingdom, but she will not stand, and won’t be for him.
18 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.
After this he will turn his face to the islands, and will take many, but a prince will cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yes, moreover, he will cause his reproach to turn on him.
19 Thuutha wa ũguo, nĩagacooka erekere matũũra marĩa mairigĩre ma bũrũri wake mwene, no nĩakahĩngwo na agwe ũndũ atagacooka kuonwo rĩngĩ.
Then he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and won’t be found.
20 “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.
“Then one who will cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory will stand up in his place; but within few days he shall be destroyed, not in anger, and not in battle.
21 “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.
“In his place a contemptible person will stand up, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom; but he will come in time of security, and will obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ningĩ, ita rĩrĩ na hinya mũno nĩrĩkahaatwo rĩeherio mbere yake; ita rĩu hamwe na mũnene wa kĩrĩkanĩro nĩmakaniinwo biũ.
The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.
23 Thuutha wa kũgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano nake, nĩagacooka aheenanie, na arĩ na andũ o anini nĩakarahũka agĩe na hinya.
After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.
24 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.
In time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter among them prey, plunder, and wealth. Yes, he will devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.
25 “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.
“He will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will wage war in battle with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he won’t stand; for they will devise plans against him.
26 Andũ arĩa marĩĩanagĩra na mũthamaki nĩo makaamũkunyanĩra; ita rĩake nĩrĩgathererio ta andũ megũtwarwo nĩ kĩguũ, na aingĩ ao mooragĩrwo mbaara-inĩ.
Yes, those who eat of his delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down slain.
27 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.
As for both these kings, their hearts will be to do evil, and they will speak lies at one table; but it won’t prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time.
28 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.
Then he will return into his land with great wealth. His heart will be against the holy covenant. He will take action, and return to his own land.
29 “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.
“He will return at the appointed time and come into the south; but it won’t be in the latter time as it was in the former.
30 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.
For ships of Kittim will come against him. Therefore he will be grieved, and will return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and will take action. He will even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 “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.
“Forces from him will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and will take away the continual burnt offering. Then they will set up the abomination that makes desolate.
32 Nĩakaheenereria na ndeto cia waara andũ arĩa mathũkĩtie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu gĩtheru, no andũ arĩa mooĩ Ngai wao nĩmakeĩkĩra hinya na maregane nake magwatĩirie.
He will corrupt those who do wickedly against the covenant by flatteries; but the people who know their God will be strong and take action.
33 “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.
“Those who are wise among the people will instruct many; yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, many days.
34 Maagũa-rĩ, nĩmakaheo ũteithio mũnini, na andũ aingĩ arĩa matarĩ a ma nĩmakegwatania nao.
Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.
35 Andũ amwe arĩa oogĩ nĩmakaagũa, nĩguo makumuthwo, na mathambio mage imeni nginya mahinda ma ithirĩro, amu ihinda rĩu rĩtuĩtwo no rĩgaakinya.
Some of those who are wise will 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 “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.
“The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished, for that which is determined will be done.
37 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.
He won’t regard the gods of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god; for he will magnify himself above all.
38 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.
But in their place, he will honor the god of fortresses. He will honor a god whom his fathers didn’t know with gold, silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.
39 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.
He will deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. He will increase with glory whoever acknowledges him. He will cause them to rule over many, and will divide the land for a price.
40 “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.
“At the time of the end the king of the south will contend with him; and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships. He will enter into the countries, and will overflow and pass through.
41 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.
He will enter also into the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown; but these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 Nĩagatambũrũkia guoko gwake mabũrũri-inĩ maingĩ; o naguo bũrũri wa Misiri ndũkahonoka.
He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t escape.
43 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.
But he will have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt. The Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow his steps.
44 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.
But news out of the east and out of the north will trouble him; and he will go out with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many.
45 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.
He will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
