< Daniyel 11 >
1 A shekara ta fari ta Dariyus mutumin Mede, na ɗauki matsayina domin in goyi baya in kuma kāre shi.)
"And as for me, in the first year of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.
2 “Yanzu dai, zan faɗa maka gaskiya. Sarakuna uku za su taso a Farisa, sa’an nan kuma na huɗu, wanda zai fi dukansu dukiya. Sa’ad da zai sami iko saboda dukiyarsa, zai zuga dukan kowane mutum yă yi gāba da masarautar Girka.
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.
3 Sa’an nan wani babban sarki zai bayyana, wanda zai yi mulki da babban iko yă kuma yi abin da ya ga dama.
And a powerful king shall arise, who shall rule an extensive empire, and do as he pleases.
4 Bayan da ya bayyana, daularsa za tă wargaje za a rarraba ta zuwa kusurwoyi huɗu na duniya, a ba waɗansu waɗanda ba zuriyarsa ba, ba kuwa za su yi mulki da iko kamar yadda ya yi ba, gama za a tumɓuki daularsa a kuma ba wa waɗansu.
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.
5 “Sai sarki Kudu zai yi ƙarfi ƙwarai, amma ɗaya daga cikin komandodinsa zai yi ƙarfi fiye da shi, zai kuma yi mulki masarautarsa da iko mai girma.
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.
6 Bayan’yan shekaru, za su haɗa kai. Diyar sarkin Kudu za tă je wurin sarkin Arewa ta sada zumunci, amma ba za tă riƙe iko ba, shi kuwa da ikonsa ba za su daɗe ba. A waɗannan kwanaki za a bashe ta, da ita da masu rakiyarta da kuma mahaifinta da kuma wanda ya goyi bayanta.
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.
7 “Wani daga cikin zuriyarta zai taso yă ɗauki matsayinta. Zai kai wa sojojin sarkin Arewa hari yă kuma shiga kagararsa; zai yi yaƙi da su yă kuma yi nasara.
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.
8 Zai ƙwace allolinsu, siffofinsu na ƙarfe da kuma kaya masu daraja na azurfa da na zinariya a kuma kai su Masar. Zai yi’yan shekaru bai kai wa sarkin Arewa yaƙi ba.
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.
9 Sa’an nan sarkin Arewa zai kai wa sarkin Kudu hari, amma zai janye, yă koma ƙasarsa.
And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
10 ’Ya’yansa maza za su yi shirin yaƙi za su kuma tattara babbar rundunar sojoji, waɗanda za su yi ta mamayewa kamar rigyawar da ba iya tarewa, kuma za su kai yaƙin har kagararsa.
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.
11 “Sa’an nan sai sarkin Kudu zai kama hanya da fushi zuwa yaƙi da sarkin Arewa, wanda zai tattara babbar rundunar yaƙi, amma za a ci shi da yaƙi.
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.
12 Sa’ad da zai kawar da rundunar, sarkin Kudu zai cika da girman kai zai kuma kashe mutane dubbai, duk da haka ba zai kasance mai nasara ba.
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.
13 Sarki Arewa kuma zai ƙara tara babbar rundunar soja, wadda ta fi ta dā girma; bayan waɗansu shekaru kuma, zai tafi yaƙi da babbar rundunar mayaƙa cike da kayan yaƙi.
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.
14 “A waɗannan lokutan mutane da yawa za su tashi gāba da sarkin Kudu. Amma waɗansu’yan kama-karya za su taso daga jama’arka da niyya su cika abin da wahayin ya ce, amma za a fatattake su.
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.
15 Sa’an nan sarkin arewa zai zo ya gina mahaurai a jikin katagar birni don yă ci birnin da yaƙi. Sojojin nan na Kudu kuwa ba za su iya tsayawa ba, ko zaɓaɓɓun jarumawansu ma, gama za su rasa ƙarfin tsayawa.
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.
16 Wanda ya kai harin zai yi yadda ya ga dama, ba wanda zai iya ja da shi. Zai kafa kansa a Kyakkyawar Ƙasa zai kuma sami ikon da zai hallaka ta.
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.
17 Zai yunƙura yă zo da ƙarfin dukan masarautarsa zai kuma nemi haɗinkan sarkin Kudu. Zai kuma ba shi diyarsa yă aura don yă lalatar da mulkin, amma shirinsa ba zai yi nasara ba ko yă taimake shi ba.
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.
18 Sa’an nan zai mai da hankalinsa zuwa ƙasashe a bakin kogi, zai kuma kama da yawansu, amma wani komanda zai kawo ƙarshen faɗin ransa, zai kuma sa faɗin ransa yă koma masa.
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.
19 Bayan wannan, zai juya ga kagarar ƙasarsa, amma zai yi tuntuɓe yă fāɗi, ba kuwa za a ƙara ganinsa ba.
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.
20 “Magājinsa zai aiki mai karɓar haraji don darajar masarautarsa. Amma ba da daɗewa ba za a hallaka shi, duk da haka ba da fushi ko cikin yaƙi ba.
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.
21 “Magājin wannan sarki zai zama wani mutumin banza wanda ma bai fito daga gidan sarauta ba. Zai taso ba zato ba tsammani, yă ƙwace sarautar ta hanyar zamba.
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.
22 Sa’an nan zai shafe mayaƙa masu yawa a gabansa; zai hallaka har da waɗanda suke mulki na alkawari.
And large armies shall be swept away and shattered before him, as well as the prince of the covenant.
23 Bayan ƙulla yarjejjeniya da shi, zai yi zamba cikin aminci, kuma zai sami damar hawan mulki da goyon baya mutane kaɗan.
And after an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall become strong with a small force.
24 Sa’ad da yankuna mafi arziki suke ji kome lafiya yake, zai kai musu hari kuma Zai aikata abin da kakanninsa ba su taɓa yi ba. Zai rarraba abin da aka kwaso daga yaƙi, da ganima, da dukiya ga dukan mabiyansa. Zai kuma yi shiri yă kai wa mafaka hari, amma na ɗan lokaci ne kawai.
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.
25 “Tare da babbar rundunar mayaƙa zai yi ƙarfin hali yă far wa sarkin Kudu da yaƙi. Sarkin kudu zai haɗa babbar rundunar soja mai ƙarfi don yaƙin, amma ba zai iya karo da shi ba, domin za a shirya masa maƙarƙashiya.
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.
26 Waɗanda suke ci daga tanadin sarki za su yi ƙoƙari su hallaka shi; za a share mayaƙansa, kuma za a kashe mutane masu yawa a yaƙin.
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.
27 Sarakunan nan biyu sun sa mugunta a ransu. Za su zauna a tebur guda su yi ta shara wa juna ƙarya, amma a banza, gama lokacin da aka ƙayyade bai yi ba tukuna.
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.
28 “Sarkin Arewa zai koma ƙasarsa da dukiya mai girma, amma zuciyarsa za tă yi gāba da tsattsarkan alkawari. Zai ɗauki mataki a kan wannan abu sa’an nan yă koma ƙasarsa.
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.
29 “A ƙayyadadden lokaci zai sāke kai wa Kudu hari, amma a wannan karo abin da zai faru zai sha bamban daga abin da ya faru can baya.
At the appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before.
30 Jiragen ruwa yammancin bakin teku za su yi gāba da shi, zuciyarsa kuwa za tă yi sanyi. Sa’an nan zai juya ya huce haushinsa a kan tsattsarkan alkawari. Zai komo yă nuna jinƙai ga waɗanda suka juya wa tsattsarkan alkawari baya.
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.
31 “Mayaƙansa za su taso su ƙazantar da kagarar haikali za su kuma kawar da hadaya ta kullum. Sa’an nan za su kafa abin banƙyama da yake lalatarwa.
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.
32 Ta wurin daɗin baki zai gurɓata waɗannan da suka karya alkawari, amma mutanen da suka san Allahnsu za su yi tsayin daka su yi jayayya da shi.
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.
33 “Waɗanda suke da hikima za su wayar da kan mutane da yawa, duk da haka za a kashe su da takobi, waɗansu da wuta, a washe waɗansu a kai su bauta.
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.
34 Sa’ad da suka fāɗi, za su sami ɗan taimako, mutane da yawa za su haɗa kai da su, amma da munafunci.
Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join with them insincerely.
35 Waɗansu masu hikima za su yi tuntuɓe, don a tsabtacce su, a tsarkake su, su yi tsab, har matuƙar da aka ƙayyade ta yi.
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.
36 “Sarkin zai yi abin da ya ga dama. Zai ɗaukaka yă kuma girmama kansa gaba da kowane allah zai kuma faɗa munanan abubuwa a kan Allahn alloli. Zai yi nasara har sai lokacin hukunci ya cika, gama abin da aka ƙaddara zai cika.
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.
37 Ba zai kula da alloli iyayensa ba ko wanda mata suke sha’awa, balle ma yă ga darajar wani allah, amma zai ɗaukaka kansa gaba da su duka.
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.
38 A maimakonsu, zai ɗaukaka allahn kagarai; allahn da kakanninsa ba su ko sani ba, shi ne zai miƙa masa zinariya, da azurfa, da duwatsu masu daraja, da abubuwa masu tsada.
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.
39 Zai kai wa kagarai mafi ƙarfi hari da taimakon baƙon allah zai kuma girmama waɗanda suka yarda da shi zai ba su girma, ya kuma shugabantar da su a kan mutane da yawa, zai raba musu ƙasa ta zama ladansu.
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.
40 “A lokaci ƙarshe sarkin Kudu zai tasar masa da yaƙi, sarkin Arewa kuwa zai tunzura, yă tasar masa da kekunan yaƙi da mahayan dawakai, da jiragen ruwa da yawa. Zai ratsa ƙasashe, yă ci su da yaƙi, yă wuce.
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.
41 Zai kuma mamaye Kyakkyawa Ƙasa. Ƙasashe masu yawa za su fāɗi, amma Edom, Mowab da kuma shugabannin Ammon za su kuɓuta daga hannunsa.
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.
42 Zai fadada mulkinsa har zuwa ƙasashe masu yawa; Masar ma ba za tă tsira ba.
He shall reach out his hand also on other countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 Zai mallaki dukiyoyi na zinariya, da na azurfa, da dukan abubuwa masu tsada na Masar. Zai kuma ci Libiyawa da Kush da yaƙi.
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.
44 Amma labari daga gabas da arewa za su firgita shi, shi kuwa zai ci gaba da yin yaƙi da zafi, yă karkashe mutane da yawa, yă shafe su.
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.
45 Zai kafa tentin mulkinsa tsakanin tekunan da suke a kyakkyawan tsauni mai tsarki. Duk da haka zai zo ga ƙarshensa, kuma babu wanda zai taimake shi.
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.
