Daniel 11

1 El pa kasreyu ac loangeyu.

I, therefore, in the first year of Darius the Mede, was at my station to strengthen and embolden 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, the truth, I will tell thee: —Lo! there are, yet three kings, to arise—belonging to Persia, and, the fourth, will amass greater riches than they all, and, when he hath strengthened himself in his riches, the whole, will stir up, 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 so a hero king, will arise, —and wield great authority, and do according to his own pleasure;

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.

but, when he hath arisen, his kingdom, shall be broken in pieces, and be divided, toward the four winds of the heavens, —but not to his own posterity, nor according to his own authority which he wielded, for his kingdom, shall be uprooted, even for 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.

But a king of the south, will become strong, even from among his rulers, —and will prevail against him, and have authority, a great authority, shall his authority be.

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.

And, at the end of years, they will league together, yea, the daughter of the king of the south, will go in unto the king of the north, to make peace, but she shall not retain strength of arm, neither shall he stand, nor his arm, but she shall be delivered up—she herself, and they who brought her in, and he who begat her, and he that strengthened her in the 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 one will stand up from the sprout of her roots, [in] his stead, —and he will enter the army, and enter into a fortress of the king of the north, and deal with them and shew himself strong;

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,

yea, even their gods, with their molten images, with their delightful vessels of silver and gold, with a host of captives, will he bring into Egypt, —and, he, will stand more, years, than the king of the north;

9 tokosra lun Syria el ac sifil utyak nu fin acn Egypt, tusruktu ac folokinyukla el liki acn we.

so will the king of the south, enter into the kingdom, and then return unto his own soil.

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.

But, his sons, will rouse themselves to war, and gather together a multitude of large armies, but he will come on and on, and overflow and pass through, —and will return and wage war, up to 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.

Then will the king of the south, be enraged, and go forth and fight with him, with the king of the north, —and will raise a great multitude, but the multitude, will be delivered, 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.

And, when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart, will be uplifted, —and he will cause tens of thousands to fall, but will not conquer.

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.

Then will the king of the north again raise a multitude, greater than the first, —and, at the end of the times—some years, he will come on and on with a great army, and with great substance.

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, will rise against the king of the south, —and, the sons of the oppressors of thy people, will exalt themselves to confirm the vision, but will be overthrown.

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.

Then will come in the king of the north, and cast up a rampart, and capture a city of strongholds, —and, the arms of the south, will not rise, nor the people of his chosen ones, and there shall be no strength to rise.

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.

So shall he that cometh against him do according to his own pleasure, and, none, shall stand before him, —therefore will he take his stand in the beautiful land, and it will languish and be exhausted in his hand.

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.

Then will he set his face to enter, with the might of all his kingdom, and, equitable terms with him, will make, —and, a daughter of women, will he give him to corrupt her, but she will not remain, nor, his, shall she become.

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.

Then will he turn his face to the Coastlands, and will capture many, —but a commander, will bring to an end, his reproach against himself, that, his reproach, return not unto him.

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.

Therefore will he turn his face towards the fortresses of his land, —but he shall stagger and fall, and shall not be found.

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 will rise up in his stead, one causing an exactor to pass through the ornament of the kingdom, —but, in a few days, shall he be broken in pieces, not with 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.

Then will rise up in his stead, one despised, and they will not lay upon him the dignity of the kingdom, —but he will come in unexpectedly, and strengthen the kingdom by flatteries;

22 Kutena mwet ma lainul uh, finne mwet Tol Fulat lun God uh, ac fah pokyukla ac sisila elos.

and, the arms of an overflowing flood, will sweep all before him, and they shall be broken in pieces, —moreover also, the prince of a 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, by reason of the leaguing against him, he will work deceitfully, and will come up and become strong, with a small nation.

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.

Unexpectedly, even into the rich places of the province, will he enter, and will do what neither his fathers nor his father’s fathers had done, prey and spoil and substance—among them, will he scatter, —and, against strongholds, will he devise plots even until a (convenient) 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.

Then will he stir up his strength and his heart, against the king of the south, with a great army, and, the king of the south, will wage war, with a great and exceedingly mighty army, —but will make no stand, for they will devise against him plots;

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.

and, they who have been eating his delicacies, will break him in pieces, and, his army, will he overwhelm like a flood, —and many wounded, will fall.

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.

Now, as for the two kings, their heart, will be set on acting wickedly, and, at one table, will they speak, falsehood, —but it shall not succeed, for yet is the end for an 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.

So then he will return to his own land, with great substance, with, his heart, set upon a holy covenant; yea he will act with effect, and 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, will he again enter the south, —but it shall not be like the former, nor like the latter.

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.

Then will come in against him the ships of Cyprus, and he will be disheartened, and again have indignation against a holy covenant, and will act with effect, —and again gain intelligence, concerning them who are forsaking a 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.

And, arms, from him, will arise, —and will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and will set aside the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and place the horrid abomination that astoundeth.

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, them who are ready to deal lawlessly with a covenant, will he make impious by flatteries, —but, the people who know their God, will be strong and act with effect.

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, they who make the people wise, will impart understanding to the many, —yet shall they be brought low, by sword and by flame, by captivity and by prey, for some days;

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.

but, when they are brought low, they shall be helped with a little help, —and many, will join themselves unto them, by flatteries;

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.

and, of them who make wise, some shall be brought low, to refine them, and to purify and make white, up to the time of the end, —for yet is it for an appointed time.

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, will do according to his own pleasure, and will exalt himself, and magnify himself against every GOD, yea, against the GOD of GODS, will he speak wonderful things, —and will succeed, until exhausted is the indignation, for, what is decreed, must 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.

and, for the god of his fathers, will he have no regard, nor, for the delight of women, nor for any god, will he have regard, —for, against all, will he magnify himself.

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.

Howbeit, to the god of the fortresses, in his place, will he give honour, —even to a god whom his fathers, knew not, will he give honour, with gold and with silver and with precious stones and with articles of delight.

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 will prepare, for the strongholds of the fortress of the sea, the people of an alien god, whom he will acknowledge—will greatly honour, —and will give them authority over the many, and, the soil, will he apportion 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, in the time of the end, will the king of the south, push at him, and the king of the north, will rush against him, with chariots and with horsemen, and with many ships, —and he will enter the lands, and overwhelm and pass over;

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.

yea he will enter the beautiful land, and, many [lands], shall be laid low, —but, these, shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom and Moab, and the first portion of the sons of Ammon;

42 Ke el ac utyak mweuni acn inge nukewa, acn Egypt ac fah sruhu pac.

yea he will thrust forth his hand against the lands, —and, the land of Egypt, shall have no deliverance;

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.

and he will have authority over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the delightful things of Egypt, —with Libyans and Ethiopians among his followers;

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, tidings, will terrify him, out of the east, and out of the north, —therefore will he go forth with great fury, to destroy and to devote 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 will plant his palace-home between the seas, towards the beautiful holy mountain, but shall come to his end, with none to help him.
