< Daniela 11 >
1 I KA makahiki mua o Dariu ka Media, ua ku no au iluna e hookupaa a e hooikaika ia ia.
“As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
2 Ano e hai aku au ia oe i ka mea oiaio. Aia hoi, e ku mai auanei iluna ekolu alii ma Peresia; a o ka ha e oi nui aku kona waiwai mamua o ko lakou a pau; a ma kona ikaika no ka waiwai e hoala oia i na mea a pau e ku e i ke aupuni o Helene.
“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 E ku mai auanei iluna kekahi alii ikaika loa, e alii ana oia me ka ikaika nui, a e hana no hoi ia mamuli o kona makemake iho.
A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
4 A i kona ku ana iluna e wawahiia kona aupuni, a maheleia ae la ma na makani eha o ka lani; aole ia no kana poe keiki, aole no mamuli o kona aupuni ka mea ana i malama ai; no ka mea, e hoohioloia kona aupuni, no kekahi poe e ae ia, aole no kana.
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 A e lilo ana no ke alii o ke kukulu hema i mea ikaika, a o kekahi alii ona, e oi aku kona ikaika mamua o kela, a e alii ana oia; o kona aupuni he aupuni nui loa ia.
“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 A ma ka hope o na makahiki e kuikahi lakou ia lakou kekahi me kekahi; no ka mea, o hele mai ke kaikamahine a ke alii o ke kukulu hema i ke alii o ke kukulu akau e hookuikahi; aka, aole e mau ia ia ka ikaika o ka lima; aole ia e ku paa, aole kona lima; aka, e haawiia aku oia, a me ka poe nana ia i lawe mai, a me ka mea nana ia i hanau, a me ka mea i hooikaika ia ia ia mau la.
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 Aka, e ku mai auanei kekahi mailoko mai o ka lala o kona kumu ma kona hakahaka, ka mea nana e hele mai me na koa, a e komo hoi iloko o ka hulili o ke alii o ke kukulu akau, a hana ku e no hoi, a lanakila maluna iho;
“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 A lawe pio aku no hoi oia iloko o Aigupita i ko lakou mau akua, a me ko lakou mau kii i hooheheeia, a me ko lakou mau ipu maikai o ke kala a me ke gula; a e oi aku kona mau makahiki mamua o ke alii o ka akau.
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 Pela e komo mai ke alii o ka hema i ko aupuni, a e hoi hou i kona aina iho.
He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will return into his own land.
10 Aka, o kana poe keiki o hoalaia mai lakou, a e hoakoakoa no lakou i na koa he lehulehu; oiaio, kekahi o lakou e hele mai no ia, a e hoohalana, a kahe aku hoi; alaila, e hoi mai ia a hoalaia e ku e aku i kona hulili.
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 A e huhu ke alii o ke kukulu hema, a e hele mai ia e kaua pu me ia, me ke alii no o ka akau; a e hoomakaukau ia i na kanaka he lehulehu; aka, e haawiia ua poe lehulehu la iloko o kona lima.
“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 A i kona lawe ana i ua poe nui la, e hookiekieia kona naau; a e hoohiolo iho oia i na tausani he nui; aole nae ia e lilo i mea ikaika malaila.
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 No ka mea, e hoi mai auanei ke alii o ke kukulu akau, a e hoomakaukau i kekahi poe nui e oi aku ana i kela poe mamua, a hala kekahi mau makahiki, e hele mai no oia me ka poe koa he lehulehu, a me ka waiwai he nui.
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 Ia mau manawa he nui ka poe e ku e mai i ke alii o ke kukulu hema; ka poe powa o kou poe kanaka kekahi e hookiekie ia lakou iho e hooko i ka hihio; aka, e haule auanei lakou.
“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 E hele mai ke alii o ke kukulu akau e hana i puu, a e lawe pio i na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa; aole e ku paa na lima o ke kukulu hema, aole hoi kona poe i waeia, aole hoi on a ikaika e ku e ai.
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 Aka, o ka mea e hele ku o mai ia ia, e hana no ia mamuli o kona makemake, aole e hiki i kekahi ke ku imua ona; a e ku iho oia ma ka aina hanohano o hoopauia'i e kona lima.
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 A e haka pono kona maka e komo me ka ikaika a pau o kona aupuni, a me ka poe pololei pu me ia; pela no oia e hana'i; e haawi no hoi ia i ke kaikamahine o na wahine, e hoohaumia ana ia ia; aka, aole kela e ku me ia, aole hoi ma kona aoao.
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 Mahope huli ae la oia i kona maka i na mokununi, a e lawe pio aku i na mea he lehulehu; aka, na kekahi lunakoa e hoopio i kona inaina nona iho: a e hoihoi ia ia i kona inaina maluna iho ona.
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 Alaila, e huli ae la ia i kona maka i na hulili o kona aina iho; aka, e okupe auanei ia a hina ilalo, aole hoi e ike hou ia mai.
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 Alaila, e ku mai iluna ma kona wahi kekahi mea nana e hoouna i ka mea auhau waiwai maluna o ka nani o ia aupuni; aka, aole e hala na la he nui a lukuia oia, aole na ka huhu, aole hoi na ke kaua.
“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 A e ku mai no iluna ma kona hakahaka kekahi mea ino, aole lakou e haawi ia ia i ka hanohano o ke aupuni; aka, e hele mai oia i ka wa maluhia, a e loaa ia ia ke aupuni ma na olelo malimali.
“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 A me ka ikaika o ka waikahe e lukuia'i lakou imua ona, a e haihai liilii ia, oia, o ke alii e kuikahi ana.
The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.
23 A mahope o ke kuikahi ana me ia, e hana hoopunipuni oia; no ka mea, e pii oia iluna, a e lilo ia i mea ikaika me ka poe uuku.
After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.
24 I ka wa maluhia e komo oia maloko o na wahi momona o ka aina; a e hana oia i na mea a kona poe makua i haua ole ai, aole hoi na makua o kona mau makua; e hooleilei wale aku iwaena o lakou i ka waiwai pio a me ka waiwai kailiia, a me ka waiwai maoli; oiaio, e hoomaopopo oia i kona manao e ku e i na wahi paa, a i kekahi manawa.
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 A e hoala oia i kona ikaika, me kona naaukoa, a me ke kaua nui e ku e i ke alii o ke kukulu hema; a o ke alii o ke kukulu hema e hoalaia mai no hoi ia me ka poe koa he nui a ikaika loa e kaua; aole nae e hiki ke ku paa; no ka mea, e manao ku e ana lakou ia ia.
“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 Oiaio, o ka poe e ai ana i kana ai e luku lakou ia ia; a o ko ia la poe koa e halana lakou; a he nui ka poe e haule i ka pepehiia.
Yes, those who eat of his delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down slain.
27 A noonoo na naau o ua mau alii elua la ma ke kolohe; a e olelo hoopunipuni no laua ma ka papaaina hookahi; aka, aole no ia e pomaikai ana; no ka mea, no ka manawa i hoopaaia'i ka hopena.
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 A i kona hoi ana aku i kona aina me ka waiwai nui; alaila ku e kona naau i ka berita hoano; a e hana aku hoi ia i kona manao, a hoi no i kona aina iho.
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 I ka manawa i hoopaaia'i e hoi hou mai no ia, a hele no hoi i ke kukuluhema; aka, aole e like me ko ka mua, aole hoi me ko ka hope.
“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 No ka mea, e holo ku e mai no na moku no Kitima ia ia; nolaila e kaumaha no, a hoi mai, a e huhu loa aku ia i ka berita hoano; pela no oia e hana'i; a hoi mai no ia, a e kuikahi pu me ka poe i haalele i ua berita hoano la.
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 A e ku mai auanei na koa ma kona aoao, a e hoohaumia lakou i kahi hoano ikaika, a e hoopau i ka mohai o na la, a e hooku ae lakou i ka mea ino e hooneoneo ai.
“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 A o ka poe hoino aku i ka berita, e hoohuli oia ia lakou mamuli o na olelo malimali; aka, o ka poe i ike pono i ko lakou Akua, e ikaika lakou, a e hana aku no hoi.
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 A o ka poe naauao o na kanaka, e ao aku lakou i na mea he nui; aka, e haule auanei lakou i ka pahikaua, a me ka lapalapa ahi, e lawe pio ia, a e hao wale ia lakou i na la he nui.
“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 A i ko lakou haule ana, e kokuaia mai lakou he wahi kokua iki no; aka, he nui ka poe e pili ia lakou me na olelo malimali.
Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.
35 A e haule no kekahi poe naauao, i mea e hoao ai ia lakou, a e hoomaemae ai ia lakou, e hookeokeo ai ia lakou, a hiki i ka manawa o ka hopena; no ka mea, aia no ia i ka wa i hoopaaia mai ai.
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 A o ke alii e hana no ia mamuli o kona makemake iho; a e hookiekie ia ia iho maluna o na akua a pau, a e olelo i na mea kupaianaha ku e i ke Akua o na akua, a e pomaikai no nae ia a hiki i ka pau ana o ka huhuia mai; no ka mea, o ka mea i hoopaaia mai, e hookoia mai no ia.
“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 Aole oia e malama i ke Akua o kona poe kupuna, aole hoi i ka makemake o na wahine; aole pu hoi oia e malama i kekahi akua, aka, e hookiekie oia ia ia iho maluna o na mea a pau.
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 Aka, ma ko ia la hakahaka e hoomana ai oia i ke akua o na pakaua; o ke akua a kona poe kupuna i ike ole ai, oia kana e hoonani ai me ke gula, a me ke kala, a me ka pohaku maikai, a me na mea nani hoi.
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 Pela oia e hana ai ma na pakaua no ua akua e la; e hoonani oia i ka poe manaoio aku ia ia, a e hoalii oia ia lakou maluna o na mea he nui loa, a e mahele oia i ka aina i uku.
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 i ka wa mahope e pahu aku no ke alii o ka hema ia ia; a e hele mai no hoi ke alii o ka akau me he puahiohio la, e ku e mai ia ia me na kaa kaua, a me na hoohololio, a me na moku he nui loa; a e komo ia iloko o na aina, a e halana e hele aku ma kela aoao.
“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 A e komo no hoi ia iloko o ka aina nani, a e hookahuliia na mea he nui; aka, e hoopakeleia keia mau mea mai kona lima aku, o ko Edoma, a me ko Moaba, a me na pookela o na keiki a Amona.
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 E o aku hoi oia i kona lima maluna o na aina; aole no hoi e pakele ka aina o Aigupita.
He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t escape.
43 Oia no ka mea maluna o na waiwai o ke gula, a me ke kala, a maluna o na mea maikai o Aigupita; a o ka poe Libuana, a me ko Aitiopa, aia lakou ma kona kapuwai.
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 Aka, no kona lono ana i na olelo mai ka hikina mai, a mai ke kukulu akau mai, e pilikia oia; no ia mea, e hele aku la me ka huhu nui e pepehi aku, a e luku loa aku i na mea he nui wale.
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 A e kukulu iho oia i ka halelewa o kona halealii iwaena o na kai a me ka mauna nani hoano; aka, e hiki aku no oia i kona hope, aohe mea nana ia e kokua mai.
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.
