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, my standing [is] for a strengthener, and for a stronghold to 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, truth I declare to thee, Lo, yet three kings are standing for Persia, and the fourth doth become far richer than all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirreth up the whole, with the kingdom of Javan.
3 N’oluvannyuma walirabika kabaka ow’amaanyi, alifuga n’obuyinza bungi n’akola nga bw’ayagala.
And a mighty king hath stood, and he hath ruled a great dominion, and hath done according to his will;
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 according to his standing is his kingdom broken, and divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom is plucked up — and for others apart from these.
5 “Kabaka ow’obukiikaddyo aliba w’amaanyi, naye omu ku bakungu be aliba w’amaanyi okumusinga era alifuga obwakabaka bwe n’amaanyi mangi.
'And a king of the south — even of his princes — doth become strong, and doth prevail against him, and hath ruled; a great dominion [is] his 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 at the end of years they do join themselves together, and a daughter of the king of the south doth come in unto the king of the north to do upright things; and she doth not retain the power of the arm; and he doth not stand, nor his arm; and she is given up, she, and those bringing her in, and her child, and he who is strengthening 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.
'And [one] hath stood up from a branch of her roots, [in] his station, and he cometh in unto the bulwark, yea, he cometh into a stronghold of the king of the south, and hath wrought against them, and hath done mightily;
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 princes, with their desirable vessels of silver and gold, into captivity he bringeth [into] Egypt; and he doth stand more years than the king of the north.
9 Kabaka w’obukiikakkono alirumba amatwale ga kabaka w’obukiikaddyo naye oluvannyuma aliwalirizibwa okuddayo mu nsi ye.
'And the king of the south hath come into the kingdom, and turned back unto 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.
and his sons stir themselves up, and have gathered a multitude of great forces, and he hath certainly come in, and overflowed, and passed through, and he turneth back, and they stir themselves up unto his stronghold.
11 “Mu busungu obungi, kabaka w’obukiikaddyo alirumba kabaka w’obukiikakkono ow’eggye eddene, n’amuwangula.
And the king of the south doth become embittered, and hath gone forth and fought with him, with the king of the north, and hath caused a great multitude to stand, and the multitude hath been given into his hand,
12 Kabaka w’obukiikaddyo bw’alimala okuwangula eggye eryo eddene, n’aliwamba, alyegulumiza n’atta bangi ku bo, naye taliwangaala.
and he hath carried away the multitude, his heart is high, and he hath caused myriads to fall, and he doth not become strong.
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 hath turned back, and hath caused a multitude to stand, greater than the first, and at the end of the times a second time he doth certainly come in with a great force, and with much substance;
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 do stand up against the king of the south, and sons of the destroyers of thy people do lift themselves up to establish the vision — and they have stumbled.
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 cometh in, and poureth out a mount, and hath captured fenced cities; and the arms of the south do not stand, nor the people of his choice, yea, there is no power to stand.
16 Oyo alibalumba, alikola nga bw’ayagala so tewaliba n’omu alimuziyiza; era alyenyweza mu nsi ennungi, yonna n’ebeera mu buyinza bwe.
And he who is coming unto him doth according to his will, and there is none standing before him; and he standeth in the desirable land, and [it is] wholly 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.
And he setteth his face to go in with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he hath wrought, and the daughter of women he giveth to him, to corrupt her; and she doth not stand, nor is for him.
18 N’oluvannyuma alikyuka n’alumba ensi ey’oku mabbali g’ennyanja n’agiwamba; naye walibaawo omuduumizi alikomya okujooga kwe, n’amwesasuza.
'And he turneth back his face to the isles, and hath captured many; and a prince hath caused his reproach of himself to cease; without his reproach he turneth [it] back to him.
19 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo alikyuka okwagala okuddayo mu mbiri ez’omu nsi ye, naye alyesittalira mu kkubo n’agwa, n’ataddayo kulabika.
And he turneth back his face to the strongholds of his land, and hath stumbled and fallen, and is not found.
20 “Alimusikira, aliweereza omusolooza w’omusolo alituukiriza eby’obwakabaka, naye mu nnaku ntono alizikirizibwa, si mu lutalo newaakubadde mu busungu.
'And stood up on his station hath [one] causing an exactor to pass over the honour of the kingdom, and in a few days he is destroyed, and 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 stood up on his station hath a despicable one, and they have not given unto him the honour of the kingdom, and he hath come in quietly, and hath strengthened 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 arms of the flood are overflowed from before him, and are broken; and also the leader of the covenant.
23 Awo bw’alimala okukola endagaano naye, alibeefuulira, n’aba w’amaanyi ng’ayambibwako abantu batono.
And after they join themselves unto him, he worketh deceit, and hath increased, and hath been strong by a few of the nation.
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.
Peaceably even into the fertile places of the province He cometh, and he hath done that which his fathers did not, nor his fathers' fathers; prey, and spoil, and substance, to them he scattereth, and against fenced places he deviseth his devices, even 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.
'And he stirreth up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great force, and the king of the south stirreth himself up to battle with a very great and mighty force, and standeth not, for they devise devices against him,
26 N’abo abanaagabana ku bugagga bwa kabaka baligezaako okumuzikiriza, era eggye lye lirisaanawo, bangi ku bo ne bafiira mu lutalo.
and those eating his portion of food destroy him, and his force overfloweth, and fallen have many wounded.
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 of the kings' hearts [are] to do evil, and at one table they speak lies, and it doth not prosper, for yet the end [is] at a 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.
And he turneth back [to] his land with great substance, and his heart [is] against the holy covenant, and he hath wrought, and turned back to his land.
29 “Mu bbanga eryagerebwa, alirumba obukiikaddyo nate, naye ku luno tekiriba nga bwe kyali mu biro eby’olubereberye.
At the appointed time he turneth back, and hath come against the south, and it is not as the former, and as the latter.
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.
And ships of Chittim have come in against him, and he hath been pained, and hath turned back, and hath been insolent toward the holy covenant, and hath wrought, and turned back, and he understandeth concerning those forsaking 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 strong ones out of him stand up, and have polluted the sanctuary, the stronghold, and have turned aside the continual [sacrifice], and appointed the desolating abomination.
32 Alisendasenda abo abaajeemera endagaano, naye abantu abamanyi Katonda waabwe baliyimirira ne bamuwakanya n’amaanyi.
And those acting wickedly [against] the covenant, he defileth by flatteries; and the people knowing their God are strong, and have wrought.
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 teachers of the people give understanding to many; and they have stumbled by sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil — days.
34 Bwe baligwa baliyambibwako akatono era bangi abatali ba mazima balibasendasenda ne babeegattako.
And in their stumbling, they are helped — a little help, and joined to them have been many with 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 teachers do stumble for refining by them, and for purifying, and for making white — till the end of the time, for [it is] yet for 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 hath done according to his will, and exalteth himself, and magnifieth himself against every god, and against the God of gods he speaketh wonderful things, and hath prospered till the indignation hath been completed, for that which is determined hath been done.
37 Talissa kitiibwa mu bakatonda ba jjajjaabe newaakubadde oyo abakazi gwe beegomba, so talissa kitiibwa mu katonda yenna, naye alyegulumiza okusinga bonna.
And unto the God of his fathers he doth not attend, nor to the desire of women, yea, to any god he doth not attend, for against all he magnifieth 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.
And to the god of strongholds, on his station, he giveth honour; yea, to a god whom his fathers knew not he giveth honour, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stone, and with desirable 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.
And he hath dealt in the fortresses of the strongholds with a strange god whom he hath acknowledged; he multiplieth honour, and hath caused them to rule over many, and the ground he apportioneth at 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, push himself forward with him doth a king of the south, and storm against him doth a king of the north, with chariot, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he hath come in to the lands, and hath overflowed, and passed over,
41 Alirumba Ensi Ennungi n’awamba n’amawanga mangi, naye Edomu ne Mowaabu n’abakulembeze ba Amoni balimuwona.
and hath come into the desirable land, and many do stumble, and these escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.
42 Okufuga kwe kulyeyongera mu mawanga mangi, ne Misiri nga mw’omutwalidde.
'And he sendeth forth his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt is not for an escape;
43 Alifuga amawanika aga zaabu ne ffeeza, n’eby’obugagga byonna ebya Misiri, n’afuula Abalibiya n’Abaesiyopiya okuba abaddu be.
and he hath ruled over treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt, and Lubim and Cushim [are] 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.
'And reports trouble him out of the east and out of the north, and he hath gone forth in great fury to destroy, and to devote many to destruction;
45 Alisimba eweema ze ez’olubiri wakati w’ennyanja n’olusozi olulungi era olutukuvu; era naye alikoma so tewaliba amuyamba.
and he planteth the tents of his palace between the seas and the holy desirable mountain, and hath come unto his end, and there is no helper to him.
