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 myself, in the first year of Darius the Mede, took my stand to support and defend 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.
So now let me reveal the truth to you. There are still three kings to come to power in Persia, and then a fourth who will be far richer than all the others. When he becomes strong through his wealth, he will rally the whole kingdom against 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 come to power. He will rule with great authority and do whatever he wants.
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 he extends his power his kingdom will be broken up, divided towards the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, and it will not be ruled as he ruled. It will be pulled up 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 officers will grow even stronger and will rule his 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.
Some years later they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south will be married to the king of the north to guarantee the peace treaty. However, she will not be able to keep her hold on power, nor will his power continue. She and her attendants will be betrayed, along with her child and husband. Later on, however,
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.
a new king of the south from her family will take over. He will come to attack the army of the king of the north and enter his fortress. He will fight against them and will win.
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.
In addition he will take back with him to Egypt the idols of their gods, along with their expensive vessels of silver and gold. For some years he will leave the king of the north alone.
9 Rautento ti ari ti Amianan ti pagarian ti ari ti Abagatan, ngem agsanudto isuna iti mismo a dagana.
Then the king of the north will march into the kingdom of the king of the south but will have to retreat 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.
However, his sons will prepare for war, assembling a huge number of troops. One of them will lead an advance that rushes forward like a river bursting its banks, crossing over and pressing forward to attack the enemy 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.
This will infuriate the king of the south, who will go out into battle against the large army assembled by the king of the north and will defeat it.
12 Inton makayawan ti armada, agbalinto a napalangguad unay ti ari ti Abagatan, ket mapapatayto dagiti rinibribu kadagiti kabusorna. Ngem saanto nga agballigi isuna.
After capturing such a large army, he will become very proud, and will kill thousands. But this triumph will not last long.
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.
Years later the king of the north will once again raise an army, even larger than before, and will invade with this huge army, accompanied by plenty of 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.
At the same time many will rebel against the king of the south. Violent men from your own people will rebel in order to fulfill this vision, but they shall 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 and build siege ramps and he will capture a city with strong defenses. The forces of the south will not be able to prevent it—even his best troops won't be able to resist the attack.
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 whatever he wants; no one will be able to oppose him. He will stand in the Beautiful Land with the power to destroy it.
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 be determined to come with all the power of his kingdom and will make a peace treaty with the king of the south. To secure this he will give him a daughter of women to marry in order to destroy the kingdom. But she will not be successful and will not support 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 to attack the coastlands and will conquer many, but a commander will put a stop to his arrogant behavior, paying him back for it.
19 Kalpasanna, agsublinto isuna kadagiti sarikedked ti mismo a dagana, ngem maparmek ken mapapatayto isuna; saanto a masarakan isuna.
He will return to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall, and will be gone.
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.
His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain royal wealth. However, in a short time he will die, but not violently 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.
A contemptible person will follow him who will not be given royal majesty. He will take over peacably and assume control of the kingdom through deception.
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.
Great armies will be swept away before him. They will be broken, as well as the prince of the agreement.
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 making an alliance with him, he will act deceptively. He will come to power peacably, becoming strong though only having a few supporters.
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.
He will invade the richest parts of the land and do what his fathers and forefathers never did—he will distribute plunder, spoil, and possessions. He will make plans to attack fortresses, 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.
Then he will draw on his strength and courage to gather a large army against the king of the south. The king of the south will prepare for war. Fighting back with a large and powerful army, but he will not be successful because of plots made 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 closest to him will destroy him. His army will be wiped out—many will fall in battle.
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.
The two kings, with evil intentions, will tell each other lies even as they sit together at the same table. But their scheming is pointless—the end will come at the time predicted.
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 own country with all the wealth he has looted. He will be determined to attack the people of the holy agreement, and do all he can to destroy it before returning to his own country.
29 Iti naituding a tiempo, agsublinto isuna a mangsakop manen iti Abagatan. Ngem iti dayta a gundaway, saanto a kasla idi damo.
At the time predicted he will return to invade the south again, but this time it won't be like before.
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 from Cyprus will come to attack him, frightening him off so that he retreats. But this will make him mad, and he will attack the people of the holy agreement, recognizing those who abandon their commitment to the holy agreement.
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 occupy and defile the Temple fortress. They will put a stop to the continual service, and set up a form of idolatry that causes devastation.
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.
The king will use flattery to corrupt those who break the solemn agreement, but the people who know their God will stand firm in their resistance.
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.
Wise leaders of the people will teach many, though for a time they will be killed by sword and fire, or they will be imprisoned and robbed.
34 Inton maparparigatda, makaawatdanto iti bassit a tulong, ket adunto ti makitipon kadakuada ngem saanda nga ar-aramiden ti ibagbagada.
During this time of persecution they will receive a little help, and many who join them won't be sincere.
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 be killed, so that they may be refined and purified and cleansed until the time of the end, for the predicted time is still to come.
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.
The king will do whatever he wants, praising himself and considering himself greater than any god, even saying outrageous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of anger has finished, for what has been decided will 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 have no time for the gods of his forefathers, nor for the one loved by women, nor for any other god, for he considers himself greater than any of these.
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.
Instead he will honor the god of fortresses—a god unknown to his forefathers—giving him offerings of gold and silver and precious stones and expensive gifts.
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 deal with strong fortresses with the help of this foreign god. He will give riches to those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over the people, and distributing the land at 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 attack him. But the king of the north will retaliate with force like a storm, with chariots and horsemen and many ships. He will advance, sweeping through many lands.
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 invade the Beautiful Land and kill many people there. However, Moab, Edom, and most of the Ammonites will escape his power.
42 Dumanunto ti pannakabalinna kadagiti adu a pagilian; uray ti daga ti Egipto ket saanto a makalisi.
He will extend his attacks against different countries—even the land of Egypt will not be able to 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 acquire the gold and silver and riches of Egypt, ruling over them and also the Libyans and Ethiopians.
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 in a furious rage he will set out to destroy and exterminate many people.
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 set up his royal camp between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. But he will die with no one to help him.
