< Daniyel 11 >
1 A shekara ta fari ta Dariyus mutumin Mede, na ɗauki matsayina domin in goyi baya in kuma kāre shi.)
“As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm 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.
“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 Sa’an nan wani babban sarki zai bayyana, wanda zai yi mulki da babban iko yă kuma yi abin da ya ga dama.
A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
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 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 “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 will be strong. One of his princes will become stronger than him, and have dominion. His dominion will be a great dominion.
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 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 “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 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 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.
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 Sa’an nan sarkin Arewa zai kai wa sarkin Kudu hari, amma zai janye, yă koma ƙasarsa.
He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will 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.
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 “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 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 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 will be carried off, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he won’t 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 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 “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.
“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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Bayan wannan, zai juya ga kagarar ƙasarsa, amma zai yi tuntuɓe yă fāɗi, ba kuwa za a ƙara ganinsa ba.
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 “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 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 “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 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 Sa’an nan zai shafe mayaƙa masu yawa a gabansa; zai hallaka har da waɗanda suke mulki na alkawari.
The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also 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.
After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few 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.
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 “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 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 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 delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down 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 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 “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 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 “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.
“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 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 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 “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 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 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.
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 “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.
“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 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 fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.
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 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 “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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 “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.
“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 Zai kuma mamaye Kyakkyawa Ƙasa. Ƙasashe masu yawa za su fāɗi, amma Edom, Mowab da kuma shugabannin Ammon za su kuɓuta daga hannunsa.
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 Zai fadada mulkinsa har zuwa ƙasashe masu yawa; Masar ma ba za tă tsira ba.
He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t 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 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 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 will trouble him; and he will go out with great fury to destroy and utterly to 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.
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.
