< Daniel 11 >
1 “Iti umuna a tawen ti panagturay ni Darius a taga-Media, immayak a mismo tapno tulongak ken salaknibak ni Miguel.
“And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood up to strengthen and protect him.
2 Ket ita, adda iti ipaltiingko a kinapudno kenka. Addanto ti tallo nga ari a tumaud iti Persia, ket nabakbaknangto nga amang ti maikapat ngem kadakuada amin. Inton bimmileg isuna babaen kadagiti kinabaknangna, allukoyennanto ti amin a bumusor iti pagarian ti Grecia.
Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.
3 Tumaudto ti maysa a nabileg nga ari a mangituray iti dakkel unay a pagarian, ket aramidennanto ti amin a kayatna.
Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.
4 Inton bumileg isuna, marpuog ken mabingayto ti pagarianna kadagiti uppat nga angin ti langit. Nupay kasta, saanto a maited daytoy kadagiti bukodna a kaputotan, ken saanto a kas iti daytoy ti kabilegna idi iturturayanna daytoy. Ta maparutto ti pagarianna ket maited kadagiti sabali a saanna a bukod a kaputotan.
But as soon as he is established, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the authority with which he ruled, because his kingdom will be uprooted and given to others.
5 Agbalinto a nabileg ti ari ti Abagatan, ngem agbalinto a nabilbileg ngem isuna ti maysa kadagiti pangulo ti armadana ket iturayannanto ti dakdakkel a pagarian.
The king of the South will grow strong, but one of his commanders will grow even stronger and will rule his own kingdom with great authority.
6 Kalpasan ti sumagmamano a tawen, inton dumteng ti umno a tiempo, agtulagdanto nga agkaddua. Mapanto ti babai a putot ti ari ti Abagatan iti ari ti Amianan tapno mapasingkedan ti nagtutulaganda. Ngem mapukawnanto ti pannakabalinna, ket mabaybay-anto isuna - isuna ken dagiti nangipan kenkuana sadiay, ti amana, ken ti nangtulong kenkuana kadagidiay a tiempo.
After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to seal the agreement. But his daughter will not retain her position of power, nor will his strength endure. At that time she will be given up, along with her royal escort and her father and the one who supported her.
7 Ngem addanto iti maysa a sanga a tumaud manipud kadagiti ramutna a sumukat kenkuana. Rautennanto ti armada ket serrekenna ti sarikedked ti ari ti Amianan. Makirangetto isuna kadakuada, ket maparmeknanto ida.
But one from her family line will rise up in his place, come against the army of the king of the North, and enter his fortress, fighting and prevailing.
8 Ipanawnanto dagiti didiosenda agraman dagiti kinitikitan a ladawan dagiti didiosen ken dagiti alikamenda a naaramid manipud iti pirak ken iti balitok ket ipanna idiay Egipto, ket isardengnanto pay laeng ti panangrarautna iti ari ti Amianan iti sumagmamano a tawen.
He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold. For some years he will stay away from the king of the North,
9 Rautento ti ari ti Amianan ti pagarian ti ari ti Abagatan, ngem agsanudto isuna iti mismo a dagana.
who will invade the realm of the king of the South and then return to his own land.
10 Agsagananto a makigubat dagiti putotna a lallaki ken mangbuangayda iti dakkel nga armada, nga agtultuloyto nga umay ken agluppiasto a kasla layus, lumabas, ken agsubli manen a rumaut nga agturong iti sarikedkedna.
But his sons will stir up strife and assemble a great army, which will advance forcefully, sweeping through like a flood, and will again carry the battle as far as his fortress.
11 Sipupungtotto a rumaut ti ari ti Abagatan ket makirangetto a maibusor iti ari ti Amianan. Mangbuangayto ti ari ti Amianan iti dakkel nga armada, ngem maiyawatto daytoy iti ima ti ari ti Abagatan.
In a rage, the king of the South will march out to fight the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy.
12 Inton makayawan ti armada, agbalinto a napalangguad unay ti ari ti Abagatan, ket mapapatayto dagiti rinibribu kadagiti kabusorna. Ngem saanto nga agballigi isuna.
When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be proud in heart and will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not triumph.
13 Mangbuangayto ti ari ti Amianan iti sabali nga armada, a dakdakkel ngem ti immuna. Kalpasan iti sumagmamano a tawen, awan duadua a rumautto manen ti ari ti Amianan agraman ti dakkel nga armada nga addaan kadagiti adu nga armas.
For the king of the North will raise another army, larger than the first, and after some years he will advance with a great army and many supplies.
14 Kadagidiay a tiempo, adunto ti tumaud a bumusor iti ari ti Abagatan. Bumusorto dagiti kararanggasan kadagiti tattaom tapno matungpal ti sirmata, ngem maparmek ken mapapataydanto.
In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones among your own people will exalt themselves in fulfillment of the vision, but they will fail.
15 Umayto ti ari ti Amianan ket mangigabsuonto iti daga ket sakupenda ti nasarikedkedan a siudad. Saanto a kabaelan dagiti puersa ti Abagatan ti makiranget; uray dagiti kalalaingan a soldadoda ket awanto ti pigsada a makiranget.
Then the king of the North will come, build up a siege ramp, and capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their best troops will not be able to resist.
16 Ngem aramidento ti ari ti Amianan ti aniaman a kayatna a maibusor iti ari ti Abagatan, ket awanto ti makalapped kenkuana; isaadnanto ti mismo a bagina iti napintas a daga nga addaan iti naan-anay a panangdadael iti imana.
The invader will do as he pleases, and no one will stand against him. He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.
17 Mangeddengto ti ari ti Amianan a mapan a kakuyogna ti puersa ti entero a pagarianna, ket makitulagto a makikaddua iti ari ti Abagatan. Itednanto iti ari ti Abagatan ti putotna a babai a kas asawa tapno dadaelenna ti pagarian ti Abagatan. Ngem saanto nga agballigi ti panggepna wenno makatulong kenkuana.
He will resolve to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with the king of the South. He will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plan will not succeed or help him.
18 Kalpasan daytoy, rautento ti ari ti Amianan dagiti adda kadagiti igid ti baybay ken adunto ti tiliwenna kadakuada. Ngem maysa a pangulo ti armada ti manggibusto ti kinatangsitna ket ipalak-amnanto iti ari ti bukodna a kinatangsit.
Then he will turn his face to the coastlands and capture many of them. But a commander will put an end to his reproach and will turn it back upon him.
19 Kalpasanna, agsublinto isuna kadagiti sarikedked ti mismo a dagana, ngem maparmek ken mapapatayto isuna; saanto a masarakan isuna.
After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and be no more.
20 Ket addanto iti maysa a tumaud a kasukatna a mangipilitto nga agsingir iti buis tapno maipaay para iti kinadayag ti pagarian. Ngem iti sumagmamano laeng nga aldaw, madadaelto isuna, ngem saan a gapu iti unget wenno iti gubatan.
In his place one will arise who will send out a tax collector for the glory of the kingdom; but within a few days he will be destroyed, though not in anger or in battle.
21 Addanto iti sumukat kenkuana a maysa a kagurgura ti tao ken saan a mararaem a kas ari; maisaadto isuna nga awan iti makaamo ket iturayannanto ti pagarian babaen iti kinasikap.
In his place a despicable person will arise; royal honors will not be given to him, but he will come in a time of peace and seize the kingdom by intrigue.
22 Dakkel nga armada ti kasla iyanudto ti layus iti sangoananna. Agpadanto a madadael dayta nga armada ken ti mangidadaulo a napasingkedan babaen iti tulag.
Then a flood of forces will be swept away before him and destroyed, along with a prince of the covenant.
23 Manipud iti tiempo a pannakitulag a makikadua kenkuana, agtignayto isuna a siaallilaw; agbalinto isuna a nabileg babaen laeng iti bassit a bilang dagiti tattao.
After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully; for he will rise to power with only a few people.
24 Rautennanto ti kababaknangan a paset iti probinsia a saan a mapakpakadaan, ket aramidennanto ti saan nga inaramid ti amana wenno dagiti kapuonanna - a pagbibingayanda kadagiti pasurotna ti samsam, ti tinakaw, ken ti kinabaknang. Panggepennanto ti panangrebba kadagiti sarikedked, ngem iti mabiit laeng a tiempo.
In a time of peace, he will invade the richest provinces and do what his fathers and forefathers never did. He will lavish plunder, loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will plot against the strongholds—but only for a time.
25 Tignayennanto ti pannakabalinna ken ti kinaturedna nga addaan iti dakkel nga armada a bumusor iti ari ti Abagatan. Makigubatto ti ari ti Abagatan nga addaan iti nabileg nga armada, ngem saanto nga agballigi isuna gapu kadagiti amin a dakes a panangsikap a maibusor kenkuana.
And with a large army he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South, who will mobilize a very large and powerful army but will not withstand the plots devised against him.
26 Uray dagiti makisangsango iti panganan ti ari ket kayatdanto a dadaelen isuna. Kasla iyanudto iti layus ti armadana, ket adunto ti mapapatay kadakuada.
Those who eat from his provisions will seek to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.
27 Agpada dagitoy nga ar-ari, nga addaan iti dakes a gandat kadagiti pusoda a maibusor iti tumunggal maysa, agsangondanto iti maymaysa a lamisaan ket aginnulbodda, ngem saanda a magun-od ti tarigagayda. Ta umay pay laeng ti panungpalan iti naituding a tiempo.
And the two kings, with their hearts bent on evil, will speak lies at the same table, but to no avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.
28 Ket agsublinto ti ari ti Amianan iti dagana nga addaan iti adu a kinabaknang, ngem bumusor ti pusona iti nasantoan a tulag. Aramidennanto ti kaykayatna, ket agsublinto isuna iti bukodna a daga.
The king of the North will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant; so he will do damage and return to his own land.
29 Iti naituding a tiempo, agsublinto isuna a mangsakop manen iti Abagatan. Ngem iti dayta a gundaway, saanto a kasla idi damo.
At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time will not be like the first.
30 Ta sumabatto dagiti barko ti Kittim a maibusor kenkuana, ket maupayto isuna ken agsanudto. Makaungetto unay isuna a maibusor iti nasantoan a tulag, ket paborannanto dagiti mangtallikud iti nasantoan a tulag.
Ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and rage against the holy covenant and do damage. So he will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 Umayto ti armadana ket tulawanda ti santuario ken ti sarikedked; ikkatendanto ti kadawyan a daton a mapuoran, ket isaaddanto ti makarimon a pakaigapuan iti naan-anay a pannakadadael.
His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.
32 Allukoyennanto a sumurot kenkuana dagiti naglabsing iti tulag babaen iti panangallilaw kadakuada, ngem dagiti tattao a makaam-ammo iti Diosda ket natibker ken sumupiatdanto kadakuada.
With flattery he will corrupt those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.
33 Dagiti masisirib kadagiti tattao ket suroandanto dagiti adu a tattao. Ngem iti sumagmamano nga aldaw, mapasagdanto babaen iti kampilan ken iti apuy, maibaludda ken matakawto dagiti sanikuada.
Those with insight will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or plundered.
34 Inton maparparigatda, makaawatdanto iti bassit a tulong, ket adunto ti makitipon kadakuada ngem saanda nga ar-aramiden ti ibagbagada.
Now when they fall, they will be granted a little help, but many will join them insincerely.
35 Maparigatto dagiti dadduma a masirib tapno madalusan, maguguran ken mapasin-awda agingga iti panungpalan. Ta umay pay laeng ti naituding a tiempo.
Some of the wise will fall, so that they may be refined, purified, and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
36 Aramidento ti ari ti aniaman a kayatna. Ingato ken itantan-oknanto ti bagina kadagiti amin a didios, ket agsaonto isuna iti nakaskasdaaw a banbanag a maibusor iti Dios dagiti dios. Agballiginto isuna agingga a ti pungtot ket naan-anay. Ta no ania ti naikeddengen ket isu ti maaramid.
Then the king will do as he pleases and will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and he will speak monstrous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been decreed must be accomplished.
37 Saannanto a bigbigen dagiti dios dagiti kapuonanna, ti dios a tinarigagayan dagiti babbai, wenno uray aniaman a dios. Agpannakel ken ibagananto a natantan-ok isuna ngem kadakuada amin.
He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers, nor for the one desired by women, nor for any other god, because he will magnify himself above them all.
38 Imbes koma a dagitoy, padayawannanto ketdi ti dios dagiti sarikedked. Padayawannanto ti dios a saan nga am-ammo dagiti kapuonanna babaen iti balitok ken pirak, babaen kadagiti agkakapateg a batbato ken agkakangina a sagsagut.
And in their place, he will honor a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not know—with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches.
39 Rautennanto dagiti katitibkeran a sarikedked babaen iti tulong dagiti tattao nga agdaydayaw iti ganggannaet a dios. Padayawannanto dagiti siasinoman a mangbigbig kenkuana. Pagbalinennanto ida a mangituray kadagiti adu a tattao ket bingayennanto ti daga a kas pannakagunggonada.
He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing the land for a price.
40 Iti tiempo iti panungpalan, rumautto ti ari ti Abagatan. Ti ari ti Amianan ket agdardarasto a rumaut kenkuana a kasla bagyo nga addaan kadagiti karuahe ken kumakabalio, ken babaen kadagiti adu a barko. Sakupennanto dagiti adu a pagilian ken lumabasto kadakuada a kasla layus.
At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships, invading many countries and sweeping through them like a flood.
41 Rautennanto ti nadayag a daga, ket mapasagto ken mapapatayto dagiti rinibribu nga Israelita, ngem adunto ti makalibas a taga-Edom ken taga-Moab, ken dagiti nabatbati a tattao iti Ammon manipud iti imana.
He will also invade the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall. But these will be delivered from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the leaders of the Ammonites.
42 Dumanunto ti pannakabalinna kadagiti adu a pagilian; uray ti daga ti Egipto ket saanto a makalisi.
He will extend his power over many countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape.
43 Maaddaanto isuna iti karbengan kadagiti nailemmeng a gameng a balitok ken pirak, ken kadagiti amin a kinabaknang ti Egipto; agserbinto kenkuana dagiti taga-Libya ken dagiti taga-Etiopia.
He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt, and the Libyans and Cushites will also submit to him.
44 Ngem riribukento isuna dagiti damdamag nga aggapu iti daya ken iti amianan, ket kastanto unay ti pungtotna a rumaut a kadwana ti armadana tapno dadaelen ken mangpapatay iti adu a tattao.
But news from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will go out with great fury to destroy many and devote them to destruction.
45 Bangonennanto dagiti toldana a kas ari iti nagbaetan dagiti baybay, iti napintas a nasantoan a bantay. Ngem matayto isuna, ket awanto ti uray maysa a tumulong kenkuana.”
He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, but he will meet his end with no one to help him.
