Danyeri 11
1 Mu mwaka ogw’olubereberye ogw’obufuzi bwa Daliyo Omumeedi, nayimirira okumugumya era n’okumunyweza.
And I in the first year of Darius the Mede had my station to assist and to protect 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 will I tell thee the truth. Behold, there will stand up yet three kings of Persia: and the fourth will obtain far greater riches than all [these]: and when he is strong through his riches will he stir up all, [namely, ] the kingdom of Javan.
3 N’oluvannyuma walirabika kabaka ow’amaanyi, alifuga n’obuyinza bungi n’akola nga bw’ayagala.
And then will stand up a mighty king, who will rule with great dominion, and do 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 have stood, his kingdom will be broken, and will be divided toward the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled; for his kingdom will be torn asunder even for others beside 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 the king of the south will become strong, yea, he who is one of his princes; but [another] will become strong against him, and will rule: a great dominion will his dominion be.
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.
But at the end of [some] years will they associate themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make a settlement of difficulties; but she will not retain the power of the support; neither will he stand, nor his support: but she will be given up with those that had brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those 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 there will up a sprout of her roots in his place, and he will come to the army, and will enter into the stronghold of the king of the north, and will deal with them, and prevail:
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 also their gods with their molten images, with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, will he carry into captivity to Egypt; and he will stand off some years from the king of the north.
9 Kabaka w’obukiikakkono alirumba amatwale ga kabaka w’obukiikaddyo naye oluvannyuma aliwalirizibwa okuddayo mu nsi ye.
But this one will then enter the kingdom of the king of the south, and then return into his own land.
10 Batabani be balyeteekateeka ne bakuŋŋaanya eggye eddene era balisaanyaawo ensi eyo ng’amazzi aganjaala n’amaanyi, era balituuka ku lubiri lwe.
But his sons will commence a war, and assemble a multitude of great armies; and one will certainly enter, and overflow, and pass along: then will he return, and make war again, even to his stronghold.
11 “Mu busungu obungi, kabaka w’obukiikaddyo alirumba kabaka w’obukiikakkono ow’eggye eddene, n’amuwangula.
And the king of the south will be moved with bitter wrath, and go forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he will set forth a great multitude; but the multitude [of the other] will be given up into his hand.
12 Kabaka w’obukiikaddyo bw’alimala okuwangula eggye eryo eddene, n’aliwamba, alyegulumiza n’atta bangi ku bo, naye taliwangaala.
And the multitude will be lifted up, and his heart will become proud; and he will cast down myriads; but he will not be strengthened by it.
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.
And the king of the north will return, and set forth a multitude greater than the former; and at the end of the times, of years, will he certainly come with a great army and with much 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 in those times many will stand up against the king of the south: also the rebellious sons of thy people will lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they will stumble.
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.
And the king of the north will come, and cast up a mound, and capture the city defended by fortifications: and the arms of the south will not withstand, and as regardeth his chosen people, there will be no power [in them] 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 cometh against them will do according to his pleasure, and none will stand before him; and he will place himself in the glorious land, which will be altogether in his hand.
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.
He will also direct his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, having professions of peace with him; and thus will he do it: and he will give him the daughter of his wife to destroy it: but it will not stand, and it will not remain his.
18 N’oluvannyuma alikyuka n’alumba ensi ey’oku mabbali g’ennyanja n’agiwamba; naye walibaawo omuduumizi alikomya okujooga kwe, n’amwesasuza.
And he will direct his face unto the isles, and capture many; but a chieftain will cause to cease his reproach against him: without his giving back to him his own reproach.
19 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo alikyuka okwagala okuddayo mu mbiri ez’omu nsi ye, naye alyesittalira mu kkubo n’agwa, n’ataddayo kulabika.
Then will he direct his face toward the strong-holds of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and will no more be found.
20 “Alimusikira, aliweereza omusolooza w’omusolo alituukiriza eby’obwakabaka, naye mu nnaku ntono alizikirizibwa, si mu lutalo newaakubadde mu busungu.
And there will stand up in his place one who will cause the exactor [of taxes] to pass through the glorious [land] of the kingdom; but within a few days will he be broken, but not in anger, nor in battle.
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 there will stand up in his place a despicable person, to whom they assigned not the honor of the kingdom; but he will come in quietly, and lay hold of the kingdom by flatteries.
22 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo eggye ery’amaanyi liriwangulwa ne lizikirizibwa mu maaso ge; n’omulangira ow’endagaano naye alizikirizibwa.
And the powers of the overflow will be swept away from before him, and will be broken: yea, so also the prince in covenant [with him].
23 Awo bw’alimala okukola endagaano naye, alibeefuulira, n’aba w’amaanyi ng’ayambibwako abantu batono.
And from the time of his associating with him will he deal deceitfully; and he will come up, and obtain the victory with a small number of 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.
In quiet and into the fattest portion of the province will he enter; and he will do what his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers: the prey, and spoil, and riches will he divide freely to them, and against the strong-holds will he devise his plans, but only till a certain 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.
And he will then stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army: and the king of the south will prepare himself for the war with an exceedingly great and mighty army; but he will not stand; for they will devise [evil] plans 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 eat of his food will bring his downfall, and the army of the other will overflow; and many will fall down slain.
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 as for both these kings, their heart is bent on mischief, and at one table will they speak lies; but it shall not prosper; for the end is yet for 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 will he return into his land with great riches, and his heart will be against the holy covenant: and he will do it, and return to his own land.
29 “Mu bbanga eryagerebwa, alirumba obukiikaddyo nate, naye ku luno tekiriba nga bwe kyali mu biro eby’olubereberye.
At the time appointed will he return, and enter into the south; but not as in the former will it be in the latter time.
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 there will come against him the ships of Kittim; and he will become faint-hearted, and return, and will rage against the holy covenant; and he will do it: and he will return, and have an understanding with those that forsake the holy covenant.
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 the army divisions will proceed from him, and they will defile the sanctuary, the fortress, and remove the continual sacrifice, and they will set up the desolating abomination.
32 Alisendasenda abo abaajeemera endagaano, naye abantu abamanyi Katonda waabwe baliyimirira ne bamuwakanya n’amaanyi.
And such as act wickedly against the covenant will he corrupt by flatteries; but the people that do know their God will be strong, and deal [valiantly].
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 the intelligent among the people will impart understanding to many: yet they will stumble through the sword, and through flame, through captivity, and through being plundered for some time.
34 Bwe baligwa baliyambibwako akatono era bangi abatali ba mazima balibasendasenda ne babeegattako.
But in their stumbling will they be aided with a little help: but many will join themselves to them with deceptive flatteries.
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 intelligent will stumble, to make a purification among them, and to select and to cleanse them, until the time of the end; because it is yet for the 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 will do according to his pleasure; and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and against the God of gods will he speak incredible things, and he will prosper till the indignation be at an end; for that which is determined will be accomplished.
37 Talissa kitiibwa mu bakatonda ba jjajjaabe newaakubadde oyo abakazi gwe beegomba, so talissa kitiibwa mu katonda yenna, naye alyegulumiza okusinga bonna.
And to the gods of his fathers will he pay no regard; and to the desire of women, or to any god whatever will he not pay any regard; for above all will he magnify himself.
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 he will pay honor to the god of the fortresses; and to a god whom his fathers knew not will he pay honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and costly 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.
This will he do for the very strong fortresses together with the strange god: whoever will acknowledge him, him will he give much honor; and he will cause such to rule over many, and he will divide out the land for a price.
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 the time of the end will the king of the south push against him; and the king of the north will come against him like a storm-wind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he will enter into some countries, and will overflow and press along.
41 Alirumba Ensi Ennungi n’awamba n’amawanga mangi, naye Edomu ne Mowaabu n’abakulembeze ba Amoni balimuwona.
And he will enter into the glorious land, and much will be overthrown; but these will escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the first portion of the children of 'Ammon.
42 Okufuga kwe kulyeyongera mu mawanga mangi, ne Misiri nga mw’omutwalidde.
And he will stretch forth his hand against some countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape.
43 Alifuga amawanika aga zaabu ne ffeeza, n’eby’obugagga byonna ebya Misiri, n’afuula Abalibiya n’Abaesiyopiya okuba abaddu be.
And he will have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the costly things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow at his steps.
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 reports out of the east and out of the north will terrify him; and he will go forth with great fury to destroy, and to exterminate many.
45 Alisimba eweema ze ez’olubiri wakati w’ennyanja n’olusozi olulungi era olutukuvu; era naye alikoma so tewaliba amuyamba.
And he will pitch the tents of his palace between seas and the glorious holy mountain; and he will come to his end, without one to help him.
