1 A shekara ta fari ta Dariyus mutumin Mede, na ɗauki matsayina domin in goyi baya in kuma kāre shi.)
“As for me, during the first year that Darius was king, I helped and encouraged Michael.”
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.
[The angel also said], “And what I am going to reveal to you now will truly [happen]. There will be three more kings to rule Persia, [one after the other]. Then there will be a fourth king, who will be much richer than the others. As a result of [his giving] a lot of money [to people, they will enable him to] become very powerful. Then he will incite/persuade many nations [HYP] [to fight] against 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.
Then a very powerful king will appear [in Greece]. He will rule over a very large empire, and he will do whatever he wants to do.
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.
But when he has become very powerful, [he will die]. Then his kingdom will be divided into four parts. Kings who are not his descendants will rule, but they will not be as powerful as he was.
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.
Then the King of Egypt [MTY] will become very powerful. But one of his army generals will become more powerful than he is, and he will rule a bigger area.
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.
Several years later, the King of Egypt and the King of Syria will make an (alliance/agreement to help each other) [MTY]. The King of Syria will give his daughter to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But she will not be able to influence him [MTY] very long, and that woman, her husband, her child, and her servants will all be killed/assassinated.
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.
Soon after that, one of her relatives [MET] will become King [of Egypt]. His army will attack the army of Syria. They will enter the fortress of the soldiers of Syria and defeat them.
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.
They will return to Egypt, taking the statues of the gods [of the people of Syria] and many items made of silver and gold that had been dedicated to those gods. Then for several years his army will not attack [the army of] the King of Syria.
9 Sa’an nan sarkin Arewa zai kai wa sarkin Kudu hari, amma zai janye, yă koma ƙasarsa.
Then the army of the King of Syria will invade Egypt, but they will soon return to Syria.
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.
However, the sons of the King of Syria will prepare to start a war, and they will gather a large army. That army will march [south] and spread all over [Israel] like a huge flood. They will attack a strong fortress [in the south of Israel].
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.
Then the King of Egypt, having become very angry, will march [with his army north] from Egypt and fight against the army of Syria. The King [of Syria] will gather together a very large army, but [the army of the King of Egypt] will defeat them.
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 King of Egypt will become very proud because of [his army] having killed a very large number of soldiers [from Syria], but his army will not continue to win battles.
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 Syria will again gather together an army that will be bigger than the one that he had before. After a few years, he will again march [south on their way to Egypt] with a large army and a lot of equipment [for fighting battles].
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.
At that time, many people in Egypt will rebel against their king. In order to fulfill a vision that [one of their leaders had seen], some violent/lawless people from your country [of Israel] will also rebel [in order to not be controlled by Egypt any more], but they will be defeated.
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.
Then the King of Syria will come [south with his army] and pile up dirt against the walls of a city that is well protected, and they will [break through those walls and] they will capture the city. The soldiers from Egypt [who have come to defend that city], even the best troops, will not be strong enough to continue to fight.
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.
So the King of Syria will do whatever he wants to, and no one will be able to oppose him. [His army] will occupy the glorious land [of Israel] and completely control/subdue it.
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.
Then he will decide to march [south] with all the soldiers from his kingdom. He will make an alliance with the King [of Egypt] and in order that his own daughter will [help him to] destroy the kingdom of Egypt, he will give her to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But that plan will fail.
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 that, the [army of] the King of Syria will attack the regions that are close to the [Mediterranean] Sea, and his [army] will conquer many of them. But [the army of] a leader from another country will defeat the army of Syria and will stop their king from continuing to be proud. He will do to the King of Syria what he deserved for being very insolent.
19 Bayan wannan, zai juya ga kagarar ƙasarsa, amma zai yi tuntuɓe yă fāɗi, ba kuwa za a ƙara ganinsa ba.
Then the King of Syria will return to the fortresses in his own land. But he will be defeated, and he will (die/be assassinated) [EUP] there.
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 another man will (succeed him/become king). That king will send one of his officers to oppress the people [in Jerusalem] by forcing them to pay big taxes, in order to get more money for his kingdom. But after a few years [HYP] that king will die, but he will not die as a result of people being angry with him or in a 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.
The next King of Syria will be an evil man who, [because he will not be the son of the previous king, ] will not have the right to become king. But he will come when people do not expect it, and he will become king by tricking the people.
22 Sa’an nan zai shafe mayaƙa masu yawa a gabansa; zai hallaka har da waɗanda suke mulki na alkawari.
When his army advances, they will attack any armies that oppose him and destroy those armies. They will also kill God’s Supreme Priest.
23 Bayan ƙulla yarjejjeniya da shi, zai yi zamba cikin aminci, kuma zai sami damar hawan mulki da goyon baya mutane kaɗan.
By making treaties/alliances with [the rulers of] other nations, he will deceive them, and he will become very powerful, even though he rules a nation that does not have a lot of people.
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.
Suddenly his [army] will invade a province that is very wealthy, and they will do things that none of his ancestors did: they will capture in battles all kinds of possessions from the people whom they defeat. Then the king will divide those possessions among his friends. He will also plan [for his army] to attack fortresses [in Egypt], but only for a short 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.
He will courageously/boldly conscript/gather a large and powerful army to attack [the army of] the king of Egypt. But the King of Egypt will prepare to fight against them with a huge and powerful army. However, someone will deceive him, with the result that his plan will not be successful.
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.
Even his most trusted advisors will plan to get rid of him. His army will be defeated and many of his soldiers will be killed.
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.
Then the two [kings who both want to rule that area] will sit down at the same table and eat together, but they will both lie to each other. Neither of them will get what he wants, because it will not be the time [that God] has determined/set [for them to rule Egypt].
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.
[The army of] the King [of Syria] will return to Syria, taking with them all the valuable things [that they had captured]. The king will be determined to get rid of the Supreme Priest of the Jewish people. He will do what he wants to [in Israel], and then return to his own country.
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.
When it is the time that God has decided, the King of Syria [and his army] will invade Egypt again. But this time he will not be successful like he 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.
The army of Rome will come in ships and oppose his army and cause him to be afraid. So he will be very angry, and [with his army] he will return [to Israel] and try to get rid of the Supreme Priest. The King of Syria will do what those who have abandoned the Jewish religion advise/want him to do for them.
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.
Some of his soldiers will do things to (defile the temple/cause the temple to become unholy for them). They will prevent the priests from offering sacrifices each day, and they will put [in the temple] something that is disgusting/abominable.
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.
By deceiving those who have abandoned the Jewish religion, he will persuade them to (become his supporters/help him to do what he wants to do). But those who are devoted to their God will firmly oppose them.
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 wise [Israeli] leaders will teach others also. But for a while, some of those wise leaders will be killed in battles, and some will be burned to death, and some will be robbed, and some will be put in prison.
34 Sa’ad da suka fāɗi, za su sami ɗan taimako, mutane da yawa za su haɗa kai da su, amma da munafunci.
While God’s people are being persecuted, some people will help them a little bit, although some of those who help them will not do it sincerely.
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 wise leaders will be killed [EUP], but as a result the others will be purified [DOU]. This suffering will continue until it is the time [that God] has appointed [for it to] end.
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.
The King [of Syria] will do what he wants to. He will boast and say that he is greater than any god. He will even revile the Supreme God. He will be able to do what he wants until the time that [God] punishes [MTY] him. [God] will accomplish what he has planned.
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.
The [King of Syria] will ignore the god that his ancestors worshiped and the god that many women love. He will ignore every god, because he will think that he is greater than all of them.
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 he will honor the god who [people think] protects fortresses. That is a god whom his ancestors did not honor. And he will give gold, silver, (jewels/very valuable stones) and other expensive gifts to that god.
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.
He will ask that god (OR, people who worship a god) from another country to help him to defend his fortresses. He will greatly honor those who allow him [to be their ruler]. He will appoint [some of] them to important positions in the government; and to reward them, he will give them some land.
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.
But when his time [to rule] is almost ended, [the army of] the King of Egypt will attack his [army]. The [army of the] King of Syria will fight against them furiously [SIM]. [His soldiers will be driving] chariots and [riding on] horses and [traveling in] many ships. His army will invade many countries and [spread all over those countries] like a flood [MET].
41 Zai kuma mamaye Kyakkyawa Ƙasa. Ƙasashe masu yawa za su fāɗi, amma Edom, Mowab da kuma shugabannin Ammon za su kuɓuta daga hannunsa.
They will invade the glorious land [of Israel] and kill [EUP] tens of thousands of people. But the people of the Edom people-group and the people of the Moab people-group and the people of the Ammon people-group who are still alive will escape.
42 Zai fadada mulkinsa har zuwa ƙasashe masu yawa; Masar ma ba za tă tsira ba.
When the army of Syria invades other countries, even the people of Egypt will be defeated.

The army of Syria will take away from Egypt gold, silver, and other valuable items. The people of Libya and Ethiopia will allow [the King of Syria] to rule over them.
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 he will become very frightened/alarmed when he hears reports about what is happening in the east and in the north. So he will become very angry, and send his army to fight furiously and kill many [of their enemies].
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.
The [King of Syria] will set up his royal tents in the area between the [Mediterranean] Sea and the hill [in Jerusalem] on which the temple (exists/was built). But he will be killed there, because there will be no one to help him.”
