< Daniel 11 >

1 El pa kasreyu ac loangeyu.
"And as for me, in the first year of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.
2 Ac ma nga ac fahk nu sum inge ma na pwaye.” Na lipufan sac fahk, “Ac fah oasr tokosra tolu su ac fah leumi acn Persia, na toko ac oasr pac tokosra se akakosr, su ac fah kasrup liki tokosra meet ah kewa. In pacl se na ma yohk ku ac kasrup lal uh, na el ac fah lain tokosrai lun Greece.
And now what I show you is true. Look, there shall arise three more kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all the kingdom of Greece.
3 “Toko, na tokosra na pwengpeng se ac fah sikyak. El ac fah leumi tokosrai na lulap se, ac oru na ma el ac lungse oru uh.
And a powerful king shall arise, who shall rule an extensive empire, and do as he pleases.
4 Tusruktu pacl se na ma tokosrai lal uh ac kui na pwaye uh, na ac musalelik ac kitakatelik nu ke ip akosr. Mwet in sou lal ac fah tia eis wal lal, a mwet saya ac fah aolul in leum, tusruktu elos ac tiana ku oana ke pacl ma el tuh tokosra uh.
When he shall arise, his kingdom shall be broken up, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, and will go to others besides these.
5 “Tokosra lun Egypt el ac arulana ku. Tusruktu siena sin mwet mweun fulat lal ac mau yohk ku la lukel, ac leumi sie tokosrai yohk liki na tokosrai lal uh.
The king of the south shall grow strong, and one of his officers shall grow more powerful, and shall have a greater kingdom than his.
6 In kutu yac toko, tokosra lun Egypt el ac fah orala sie akupasri nu sin tokosra lun Syria, ac sang acn se natul in payuk sel. Tusruktu, asruoki se inge ac tia oan paht, mweyen mutan sac, mukul tumal, tulik se natul, ac mutan kulansap ma welul som uh, nufon ac fah anwuki.
At the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain her power; neither shall his strength endure; but she shall be surrendered, and her attendants, and he who became the father of her, and he who supported her in those times.
7 Ac tia paht tukun ma inge, na sie sin mukul in sou lun mutan sac ac fah tokosrala. El ac fah tuyak mweuni un mwet mweun lun tokosra lun Syria, utyak nu in pot ku lalos, ac kutangulosla.
But out of a shoot from her roots shall arise in his place, who shall come against the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
8 El ac fah eis ma sruloala in luman god lalos, ac ma saya su orekla ke gold ac silver ma kisakinyukla nu sin god inge, ac folokunla nu Egypt. Tukun kutu yac ma oasr misla inmasrlolos,
Also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall withdraw for some years from the king of the north.
9 tokosra lun Syria el ac sifil utyak nu fin acn Egypt, tusruktu ac folokinyukla el liki acn we.
And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
10 “Wen nutin tokosra lun acn Syria elos ac fah akoo elos in mweun, ac orani sie un mwet mweun na lulap. Sie selos ac fah pokla ma fin acn uh nufon oana sronot se, ac mweuni nien muta ku lun mwet lokoalok su ma kuhlusyukyak ke pot na ku.
And his sons shall wage war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance and overflow and pass through, and they shall return and wage war, as far as his fortress.
11 In kasrkusrak lal, tokosra lun Egypt el ac tuyak mweuni tokosra lun Syria, ac sruokya un mwet mweun na lulap se lal ah.
The king of the south shall be moved with rage and shall come forth and fight against him, even with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
12 El ac mau insefulatak ke kutangla lal, ac ke mwet mweun pus ma el uniya uh, tusruktu ac tia sifilpa oasr kutangla lal tok.
The multitude shall be taken away, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
13 “Tokosra lun Syria el ac folokla ac sifilpa orani sie un mwet mweun lal su ac yohk liki ma meet ah. Na ke kutu yac tok, el ac foloko wi sie un mwet mweun na lulap ac kufwen mwe mweun puspis.
The king of the north shall return, and shall raise a multitude greater than the former; and he shall advance after some years with a great army and with abundant supplies.
14 Na mwet puspis ac fah tukeni lain tokosra lun Egypt. Ac kutu mwet ma lungse orek lokoalok in facl sum, Daniel, ac fah wi tuyak lain tokosra lun Egypt ke sripen sie aruruma ma elos liye, tusruktu ac fah kutangyukla elos.
And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south: also the violent ones among your people shall rise up in confirmation of the vision; but they shall fail.
15 Ouinge tokosra Syria el ac fah kuhlasla sie siti su arulana akkeyeyukla, ac sruokya. Mwet mweun lun Egypt elos ac fah tia sifil mweun — finne elos su wo emeet ke mweun, ac fah wanginla pac ku lalos.
So the king of the north shall come, and build up a siege mound and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not prevail, neither his best troops, neither shall there be any strength to resist.
16 Mwet Syria se ma utyak ac eisla acn inge uh ac oru na ma el lungse oru nu selos, ac wanginna lainyal. El ac fah tu in Fulan Wuleang ac leumi nufon acn we.
But he who comes against him shall do as he pleases, and no one shall be able to withstand him. And he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction will be within his power.
17 “Tokosra lun Syria el ac akoo elan oru fahsr se lal nu in acn inge, ac el ac us nufon mwet mweun lal welul. Na ke sripen el kena kunausla tokosrai lun mwet lokoalok lal, el ac fah oru sie pwapa in akasrui inmasrloltal, ac sang acn natul in payuk nusel. Tusruktu ma el ako in oru inge ac tiana fahla oana ma el nunku.
He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with him which he shall put into effect. And he shall give him a daughter of women to send destruction on him; but it will not last or be to his advantage.
18 Tukun ma inge, el ac fah mweuni facl ma muta sisken meoa uh, ac kutangla acn pus selos. Tusruktu, sie mwet kol sac ac fah kutangulla, ac tulokinya orek funmwet lal. Aok, el ac folokonang ouiya koluk lun tokosra Syria nu facl sifacna.
After this shall he turn his face to the coastal regions, and shall capture many. But a commander shall bring his insolence to an end. In addition, he shall repay him for his insolence.
19 Na tokosra sac el ac fah folokla nu nien muta ku lun mwet mweun in acn sel sifacna, tusruktu ac kutangyukla pac el, na ac pa ingan saflaiyal.
Then he shall turn his attention toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found again.
20 “Na sie pacna tokosra ac fah aolul, su ac fah supwala sie mwet leum lal in akkeokye mwet inge ke el akyokye tax lalos in akkasrupye tokosrai lal. Ac ke pacl na fototo, tokosra sac ac fah anwuki, tusruktu tia ye mutun mwet uh, ac tia pac ke mweun.”
Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, though not in anger nor in battle.
21 Lipufan sac sifilpa fahk, “Tokosra se lun acn Syria tok uh ac mwet na koluk se su wangin suwohs la elan tokosrala, tusruktu el ac mahsrikyak na sruokya wal uh ke inkanek kutasrik lal.
In his place shall arise a despicable person, to whom the honor of kingship had not been given, but he shall come in a time of prosperity, and shall obtain the kingdom through deceit.
22 Kutena mwet ma lainul uh, finne mwet Tol Fulat lun God uh, ac fah pokyukla ac sisila elos.
And large armies shall be swept away and shattered before him, as well as the prince of the covenant.
23 Ke inkanek kikiap lal, el ac orek wuleang nu sin mutunfacl saya, na ku lal uh ac yokyokelik, finne kitin facl na srisrik pa el leumi.
And after an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall become strong with a small force.
24 El ac utyak na eisla ipin acn na kasrup in lukma, ac oru kais kutu ouiya ma mwet matu in sou lal uh tia wi oru meet. Na el ac kitalik acn, ac kutena ma elos sruokya ke mweun uh, nu sin mwet ma welul uh. El ac oru akoo lal in sruokya kutu nien muta ku ma potyak, tusruktu pacl lal uh ac sa na in safla.
In a time of prosperity he shall come even on the richest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor their fathers; he shall distribute among them plunder, and spoil, and property. He shall devise plans against their strongholds, but only for a time.
25 “El ac fah tuyak na orani sie un mwet mweun na lulap in mweuni tokosra lun Egypt, su ac akola pacna in mweun lainul ke sie pacna un mwet mweun na lulap ac fokoko. Tusruktu tokosra lun Egypt ac fah kiapweyukla, ac tiana orala ma el akoo in oru uh.
And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall wage war in battle with an extremely large and powerful army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise plans against him.
26 Mwet pwapa fulat ma el lulalfongi emeet sin mwet lal uh ac kunausulla. Pus sin mwet mweun lal ac fah anwuki, ac un mwet mweun lal uh ac fah sikiyukla.
Yes, those who eat of his royal food shall seek to destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall slain.
27 Na tokosra luo inge ac fah tukeni muta mongo ke tepu sefanna, tusruktu ma eltal akoo uh ma na koluk, ac eltal ac tukenina kiapu sie sin sie. Eltal ac tiana eis ma eltal lungse uh, mweyen soenna sun pacl lun ma inge.
As for both these kings, their minds shall be fixed on evil, and they shall speak lies at the table; but it shall not succeed; for still the end shall be at the appointed time.
28 Tokosra lun Syria el ac us ma wap nukewa ma el sruokya ke mweun ac folokla nu yen sel, ac el wotela sel mu el ac kunausla alu lun mwet lun God uh. Tusruktu el ac oru oana ma el lungse nwe tari, na el fah folokla nu in acn sel.
Then shall he return into his land with great property; and his mind shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall take action, and then return to his own land.
29 “Ac tok, el ac fah sifilpa utyak ac mweuni acn Egypt, tusruktu ma ac sikyak ke fwil se inge ac tia oana fahsr se meet ah.
At the appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before.
30 Mwet Rome ac fah tuku ke oak meoa ac lainul, ac el ac fah arulana sangengla. “Na in kasrkusrak lal, el ac fah folokla ac srike in kunausla alu lun mwet lun God uh. El ac porongo ac oru oana kas in kasru ma mwet tila wi alu inge fahk nu sel uh.
For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be intimidated, and shall turn back, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and shall take action. He shall turn back, and show regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 Kutu sin mwet mweun lal ac arulana akfohkfokyela Tempul uh. Elos ac tulokinya kisa ma orek ke len nukewa uh, ac tulokunak Mwe Aksangeng na Upa sac.
Forces shall come at his order, and they shall profane the sanctuary and the fortress, and shall take away the daily burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that causes desolation.
32 Ke inkanek kutasrik lal, tokosra el ac eisla insien mwet ma srola liki alu lalos uh, ac elos fah akkeyal, tusruktu elos su srakna fahsr tukun God elos ac tu na ku ac lainul.
And those who act wickedly toward the covenant he shall corrupt by smooth words; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and take action.
33 Mwet kol ma lalmwetmet inmasrlon mwet uh ac fah sang etauk lalos in kasru mwet puspis. Tusruktu ke pacl na fototo, kutu selos ac fah misa ke mweun, ac kutu ac fah isisyak, ac kutu ac fah pusrla ma lalos, ac utukla elos nu in presin.
And those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.
34 Ke pacl ma anwuk inge orek uh, ac fah oasr kitin kasru nu sin mwet lun God, finne kutu mwet uh welulosla ke na sripen elos suk ma in wo nu selos sifacna.
Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join with them insincerely.
35 Kutu sin mwet kol ma lalmwetmet ac fah anwuki, ac ke sripen misa lalos, mwet uh ac fah aknasnasyeyukla. Ac fah oana inge nwe ke safla pacl uh, pacl se ma God El oakiya.
Some of those who are wise shall fall, to be refined, purified and cleansed until the time of the end; for the appointed time is still to come.
36 “Tokosra lun Syria el ac oru na ma el lungse oru. El ac konkin ac fahk mu el fulat liki kutena god, ac fulat liki pac God Fulatlana. El ac ku in oru ouinge nwe ke na sun pacl se ma God El akola in sang kai nu sel. God El ac oru oana ma El ako mu El ac oru.
And the king shall do as he pleases. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak outrageous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is decreed shall be done.
37 Tokosra el ac fah pilesru god su mwet matu lal elos tuh kulansap nu se, ac oayapa god se su mutan elos lungse. Aok, el ac pilesru god nukewa, mweyen el pangon el fulat lukelos nukewa.
Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the one desired by women, nor show regard to any other god, because he shall magnify himself above all.
38 A el ac akfulatye na god se ma karingin nien muta lun mwet mweun ma potiyukyak uh, ac sang mwe sang ke gold, silver, wek saok, ac kutu pac mwe lung wowo nu sin god ma mwet matu lal elos tia wi alu nu se uh.
But instead he shall honor the god of fortresses; a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold and silver, and with valuable stones, and costly gifts.
39 El ac orekmakin mwet su alu nu sin sie god lun mwetsac in loango inkul potyak lun mwet mweun lal uh. El ac arulana akfulatye mwet ma akilen mu el mwet kol lalos, ac sang nien muta fulat nu selos, oayapa kitalos acn, in mwe srui nu selos.
And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he shall grant considerable honor; and he shall make them rulers over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
40 “Ke apkuran in sun ao safla lun tokosra lun Syria, tokosra lun Egypt el ac tuyak mweunel, ac tokosra Syria el ac lainul pac ke kuiyal nufon. El ac orekmakin chariot, horse, ac oak meoa pukanten. El ac utyak oana kof ke sie sronot, ac eisla mutunfacl puspis.
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south attack him. And the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall invade countries, and pass through like a flood.
41 El ac fah utyak pac mweuni Fulan Wuleang, ac uniya ngoul tausin mwet, tusruk acn Edom, acn Moab, ac acn lula lun Ammon ac fah painmoulla.
He shall enter also into the beautiful land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.
42 Ke el ac utyak mweuni acn inge nukewa, acn Egypt ac fah sruhu pac.
He shall reach out his hand also on other countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 El ac fah usla pac gold, silver, ac ma saok saya nukewa ma wikinyukla oan in acn Egypt. El ac fah kutangla pac acn Libya ac Ethiopia.
But he shall have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his feet.
44 Na pweng ma ac tuku liki acn kutulap ac eir uh ac fah aksangengyal, ac el ac mweun arulana upa, ac uniya mwet na pukanten.
But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with tremendous rage to destroy and utterly sweep away many.
45 El ac fah tulokunak pac lohm nuknuk na lulap lal inmasrlon meoa ac eol soko ma Tempul uh oan we. Tusruktu el ac misa, ac wangin mwet ac muta yorol in kasrel.”
And he shall pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with no one to help him.
