< Danyeri 11 >
1 Mu mwaka ogw’olubereberye ogw’obufuzi bwa Daliyo Omumeedi, nayimirira okumugumya era n’okumunyweza.
Also I, in ye first yere of Darius of ye Medes, euen I stood to incourage and to strengthen him.
2 “Kaakano nnaakutegeeza eby’amazima: Bakabaka basatu abalala balifuga mu Buperusi, n’owookuna aliba mugagga nnyo okusinga bali bonna; era bw’alimala okwenyweza olw’obugagga bwe, alikubiriza bonna okujeemera obwakabaka obwa Buyonaani.
And now wil I shew thee ye trueth, Behold, there shall stand vp yet three Kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be farre richer then they all: and by his strength, and by his riches he shall stirre vp all against the realme of Grecia.
3 N’oluvannyuma walirabika kabaka ow’amaanyi, alifuga n’obuyinza bungi n’akola nga bw’ayagala.
But a mightie King shall stand vp, that shall rule with great dominion, and doe according to his pleasure.
4 N’oluvannyuma obwakabaka bwe bulisasika ne bugabanyizibwa eri embuyaga ennya ez’omu ggulu. Ezzadde lye teriribugabana, era n’obwakabaka obwo tebuliba na buyinza bwe yalina kubanga obwakabaka bwe bulisigulwa ne buweebwa abalala.
And when he shall stand vp, his kingdome shall be broken, and shall be deuided towarde the foure windes of heauen: and not to his posteritie, nor according to his dominion, which he ruled: for his kingdome shall be pluckt vp, euen to be for others besides those.
5 “Kabaka ow’obukiikaddyo aliba w’amaanyi, naye omu ku bakungu be aliba w’amaanyi okumusinga era alifuga obwakabaka bwe n’amaanyi mangi.
And ye King of ye South shalbe mightie, and one of his princes, and shall preuaile against him, and beare rule: his dominio shalbe a great dominion.
6 Bwe waliyitawo emyaka, balyegatta wamu n’omuwala wa kabaka ow’obukiikaddyo, aligenda eri kabaka ow’obukiikakkono okumwegattako, naye talisigaza buyinza bwe so ne kabaka newaakubadde ezzadde lye tebaliwangaala. Mu biro ebyo aliweebwayo ye n’abo baayita nabo mu lubiri, awamu ne kitaawe, era n’oyo eyamuwagira.
And in the ende of yeeres they shalbe ioyned together: for the Kings daughter of ye South shall come to the King of the North to make an agreement, but she shall not reteine the power of the arme, neither shall he continue, nor his arme: but she shall be deliuered to death, and they that brought her, and he that begate her, and he that comforted her in these times.
7 “Ow’omu lulyo lwe, yaalitwala ekifo kye; alirumba eggye lya kabaka ow’obukiikakkono n’ayingira mu lubiri lwe, era alibalwanyisa n’abawangula.
But out of the bud of her rootes shall one stand vp in his stead, which shall come with an armie, and shall enter into the fortresse of the King of the North, and doe with them as he list, and shall preuaile,
8 Aliddira bakatonda baabwe n’ebifaananyi byabwe ebisaanuuse n’ebintu byabwe eby’omuwendo ebya ffeeza n’ebya zaabu n’abitwala e Misiri, era alimala ebbanga nga tazzeeyo kulumba kabaka w’obukiikakkono.
And shall also carie captiues into Egypt their gods with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of siluer and of golde, and he shall continue more yeeres then the King of the North.
9 Kabaka w’obukiikakkono alirumba amatwale ga kabaka w’obukiikaddyo naye oluvannyuma aliwalirizibwa okuddayo mu nsi ye.
So the King of ye South shall come into his kingdome, and shall returne into his owne land.
10 Batabani be balyeteekateeka ne bakuŋŋaanya eggye eddene era balisaanyaawo ensi eyo ng’amazzi aganjaala n’amaanyi, era balituuka ku lubiri lwe.
Wherefore his sonnes shall be stirred vp, and shall assemble a mightie great armie: and one shall come, and ouerflowe, and passe through: then shall he returne, and be stirred vp at his fortresse.
11 “Mu busungu obungi, kabaka w’obukiikaddyo alirumba kabaka w’obukiikakkono ow’eggye eddene, n’amuwangula.
And the King of the South shall be angrie, and shall come foorth, and fight with him, euen with the King of the North: for he shall set foorth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be giuen into his hand.
12 Kabaka w’obukiikaddyo bw’alimala okuwangula eggye eryo eddene, n’aliwamba, alyegulumiza n’atta bangi ku bo, naye taliwangaala.
Then the multitude shall be proude, and their heart shall be lifted vp: for hee shall cast downe thousands: but he shall not still preuaile.
13 Bwe waliyitawo ebbanga kabaka w’obukiikakkono alikuŋŋaanya n’afuna eggye eddene okusinga ery’olubereberye, n’oluvannyuma lw’emyaka emingi, alirumba n’eggye lye ng’alina ebyokulwanyisa ebiwera.
For the King of the North shall returne, and shall set foorth a greater multitude then afore, and shall come foorth (after certeine yeeres) with a mightie armie, and great riches.
14 “Mu biro ebyo bangi balijeemera kabaka w’obukiikaddyo; era n’abasajja ab’effujjo ab’omu ggwanga lyo balitandika okujeema, naye baliremwa, ebigambo bye wayolesebwa bituukirire.
And at the same time there shall many stand vp against the King of the South: also the rebellious children of thy people shall exalt them selues to establish the vision, but they shall fall.
15 Awo kabaka w’obukiikakkono alijja n’akola ebifunvu era aliwamba ekibuga ekiriko bbugwe. Eggye ery’omu bukiikaddyo teririsobola kumulwanyisa, newaakubadde abaserikale baabwe abatendeke abakugu ennyo okumusobola.
So the King of the North shall come, and cast vp a mount, and take the strong citie: and the armes of the South shall not resist, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
16 Oyo alibalumba, alikola nga bw’ayagala so tewaliba n’omu alimuziyiza; era alyenyweza mu nsi ennungi, yonna n’ebeera mu buyinza bwe.
But he that shall come, shall doe vnto him as he list, and none shall stand against him: and he shall stand in the pleasant land, which by his hand shalbe consumed.
17 Alijja n’ekitiibwa eky’obwakabaka bwe kyonna ng’amaliridde okukola endagaano ne kabaka w’obukiikaddyo. Alimuwa muwala we okumufumbirwa awambe obwakabaka, naye enteekateeka ye terituukirira newaakubadde okumuyamba.
Againe he shall set his face to enter with the power of his whole kingdome, and his confederates with him: thus shall he doe, and he shall giue him the daughter of women, to destroy her: but she shall not stande on his side, neither bee for him.
18 N’oluvannyuma alikyuka n’alumba ensi ey’oku mabbali g’ennyanja n’agiwamba; naye walibaawo omuduumizi alikomya okujooga kwe, n’amwesasuza.
After this shall he turne his face vnto the yles, and shall take many, but a prince shall cause his shame to light vpon him, beside that he shall cause his owne shame to turne vpon himselfe.
19 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo alikyuka okwagala okuddayo mu mbiri ez’omu nsi ye, naye alyesittalira mu kkubo n’agwa, n’ataddayo kulabika.
For he shall turne his face toward the fortes of his owne land: but he shall be ouerthrowen and fall, and be no more founde.
20 “Alimusikira, aliweereza omusolooza w’omusolo alituukiriza eby’obwakabaka, naye mu nnaku ntono alizikirizibwa, si mu lutalo newaakubadde mu busungu.
Then shall stand vp in his place in the glorie of the kingdome, one that shall raise taxes: but after fewe dayes he shall be destroyed, neither in wrath, nor in battell.
21 “Alidda mu kifo ky’oyo, aliba musajja mubi nnyo naye nga taweereddwa buyinza buva eri kabaka. Alirumba obwakabaka abantu nga batudde ntende, n’abuwamba ng’akozesa enkwe.
And in his place shall stand vp a vile person, to whom they shall not giue the honour of the kingdome: but he shall come in peaceably, and obteine the kingdome by flatteries.
22 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo eggye ery’amaanyi liriwangulwa ne lizikirizibwa mu maaso ge; n’omulangira ow’endagaano naye alizikirizibwa.
And the armes shall be ouerthrowen with a flood before him, and shall be broken: and also the prince of the couenant.
23 Awo bw’alimala okukola endagaano naye, alibeefuulira, n’aba w’amaanyi ng’ayambibwako abantu batono.
And after the league made with him, he shall worke deceitfully: for he shall come vp, and ouercome with a small people.
24 Mu biro eby’emirembe, alirumba amasaza amagagga, nga tebamwetegekedde, n’akola bajjajjaabe bye bataakolanga newaakubadde bajjajja ba bajjajjaabe. Aligabula abagoberezi be, ebinyage n’obugagga, ne yeekobaana okuwamba embiri, naye ekyo kirimala akaseera katono.
He shall enter into the quiet and plentifull prouince, and he shall doe that which his fathers haue not done, nor his fathers fathers: he shall deuide among them the pray and the spoyle, and the substance, yea, and he shall forecast his deuises against the strong holdes, euen for a time.
25 “Alikuŋŋaanya eggye ddene mu maanyi ge n’obuvumu bwe n’alumba kabaka w’obukiikaddyo. Kabaka w’obukiikaddyo alyerwanako n’eggye eddene era ery’amaanyi ennyo; naye talimuyinza olw’enkwe ze baamusalira.
Also he shall stirre vp his power and his courage against the King of the South with a great armie, and the King of the South shall be stirred vp to battell with a very great and mightie armie: but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast and practise against him.
26 N’abo abanaagabana ku bugagga bwa kabaka baligezaako okumuzikiriza, era eggye lye lirisaanawo, bangi ku bo ne bafiira mu lutalo.
Yea, they that feede of the portion of his meate, shall destroy him: and his armie shall ouerflowe: and many shall fall, and be slaine.
27 Bakabaka bombi abaamalirira okukola eby’ekyejo mu mitima gyabwe, balituula ku mmeeza emu, ne bakuusagana naye tewalibaawo kya mazima kiteesebwa kubanga enkomerero erituuka mu biro ebyalagirwa.
And both these Kings hearts shall be to do mischiefe, and they shall talke of deceite at one table: but it shall not auaile: for yet the ende shall be at the time appointed.
28 Kabaka w’obukiikakkono aliddayo mu nsi ye n’obugagga bungi, n’omutima gwe gulikyawa endagaano entukuvu. Era alikola kye yateekateeka mu mutima gwe n’oluvannyuma n’addayo mu nsi ye.
Then shall he returne into his land with great substance: for his heart shall be against the holy couenant: so shall he doe and returne to his owne land.
29 “Mu bbanga eryagerebwa, alirumba obukiikaddyo nate, naye ku luno tekiriba nga bwe kyali mu biro eby’olubereberye.
At the time appointed he shall returne, and come toward the South: but the last shall not be as the first.
30 Emmeeri ez’e Kittimu zirimulwanyisa era aliggwaamu amaanyi, n’oluvannyuma alikyuka okuddayo n’asunguwalira endagaano entukuvu. Bw’aliddayo alikolagana n’abo abakyawa endagaano entukuvu.
For the shippes of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shalbe sorie and returne, and freat against the holy couenant: so shall he doe, he shall euen returne and haue intelligence with them that forsake the holy couenant.
31 “Amaggye ge galigolokoka okugwagwawaza awatukuvu wa yeekaalu era aliggyawo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekya buli lunaku. N’oluvannyuma balissaawo eby’emizizo ebireeta ennaku n’okubonaabona.
And armes shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the Sanctuarie of strength, and shall take away the dayly sacrifice, and they shall set vp the abominable desolation.
32 Alisendasenda abo abaajeemera endagaano, naye abantu abamanyi Katonda waabwe baliyimirira ne bamuwakanya n’amaanyi.
And such as wickedly breake ye couenant, shall he cause to sinne by flatterie: but the people that do know their God, shall preuaile and prosper.
33 “Ab’amagezi baliwabula bangi, newaakubadde nga balittibwa, n’abalala ne bookebwa omuliro, n’abalala ne bawambibwa, n’abalala ne banyagibwa okumala akaseera katono.
And they that vnderstand among the people, shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by sword, and by flame, by captiuitie and by spoile many dayes.
34 Bwe baligwa baliyambibwako akatono era bangi abatali ba mazima balibasendasenda ne babeegattako.
Nowe when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a litle helpe: but many shall cleaue vnto them fainedly.
35 Abamu ku b’amagezi balyesittala, balyoke balongoosebwe, batukuzibwe, baleme kuba na bbala mu kiseera eky’enkomerero, kubanga ebiro ebyo byategekebwa era birituukirira.
And some of the of vnderstanding shall fall to trie them, and to purge, and to make them white, till the time be out: for there is a time appointed.
36 “Kabaka alikola nga bw’ayagala. Alyenyumiriza ne yeegulumiza okusinga katonda yenna, era alyogera ebitawulikikangako ku Katonda wa bakatonda. Aliba mugagga okutuusa ebiro eby’obusungu lwe birituukirira, kubanga ekyasalibwawo kiteekwa okutuukirira.
And the King shall doe what him list: he shall exalt himselfe, and magnifie himselfe against all, that is God, and shall speake marueilous things against ye God of gods, and shall prosper, till ye wrath be accomplished: for ye determination is made.
37 Talissa kitiibwa mu bakatonda ba jjajjaabe newaakubadde oyo abakazi gwe beegomba, so talissa kitiibwa mu katonda yenna, naye alyegulumiza okusinga bonna.
Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desires of women, nor care for any God: for he shall magnifie himselfe aboue all.
38 Mu kifo ky’abo, alissa ekitiibwa mu katonda w’embiri, katonda ataamanyibwa bajjajjaabe gwalitonera zaabu ne ffeeza, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo n’ebirabo eby’omuwendo omungi.
But in his place shall he honour the god Mauzzim, and the god whom his fathers knewe not, shall he honour with golde and with siluer, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Alirumba embiri ez’amaanyi ennyo ng’ayambibwako katonda omugwira, era abo abalissa ekimu naye, alibawa ekitiibwa kinene, n’abawa n’okufuga abantu bangi, n’ensi n’agigabanyaamu olw’amagoba.
Thus shall he do in the holdes of Mauzzim with a strange god whom he shall acknowledge: he shall increase his glory, and shall cause them to rule ouer many and shall deuide ye land for gaine.
40 “Mu biro eby’enkomerero kabaka w’obukiikaddyo alimulumba, naye kabaka w’obukiikakkono alifubutuka n’ajja okumusisinkana ng’alina amagaali n’abeebagala embalaasi, n’emmeeri nnyingi, era alirumba ensi nnyingi n’aziyitamu ng’embuyaga.
And at ye end of time shall the King of the South push at him, and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlewind with charets, and with horsemen, and with many ships, and he shall enter into ye countreis, and shall ouerflow and passe through.
41 Alirumba Ensi Ennungi n’awamba n’amawanga mangi, naye Edomu ne Mowaabu n’abakulembeze ba Amoni balimuwona.
He shall enter also into the pleasant land, and many countreis shalbe ouerthrowen: but these shall escape out of his hand, euen Edom and Moab, and the chiefe of the children of Ammon.
42 Okufuga kwe kulyeyongera mu mawanga mangi, ne Misiri nga mw’omutwalidde.
He shall stretch foorth his hands also vpon the countreis, and ye land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 Alifuga amawanika aga zaabu ne ffeeza, n’eby’obugagga byonna ebya Misiri, n’afuula Abalibiya n’Abaesiyopiya okuba abaddu be.
But he shall haue power ouer the treasures of golde and of siluer, and ouer all the precious things of Egypt, and of the Lybians, and of the blacke Mores where he shall passe.
44 Naye amawulire agaliva mu buvanjuba ne mu bukiikakkono galimukanga, olwo n’alyoka agolokoka mu busungu obungi ennyo okugenda okuzikiriza n’okumalawo bangi ku bo.
But the tidings out of the East and the North shall trouble him: therefore he shall goe foorth with great wrath to destroy and roote out many.
45 Alisimba eweema ze ez’olubiri wakati w’ennyanja n’olusozi olulungi era olutukuvu; era naye alikoma so tewaliba amuyamba.
And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace betweene the seas in the glorious and holy mountaine, yet he shall come to his end, and none shall helpe him.
