Daniela 11

1 Fa tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Dariosa Mediana dia nitsangana hampahery sy hanatanjaka azy aho.

“And so, from the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood firm, so that he might be reinforced and strengthened.

2 Ary ankehitriny izay tenany tokoa dia haharihariko aminao. Indro, mbola hisy mpanjaka telo koa hitsangana any Persia; ary ny fahefatra hanan-karena be mihoatra noho izy rehetra; koa rehefa mahery izy noho ny hareny, dia hotairiny avokoa ny olona rehetra hamely ny fanjakan’ i Grisia.

And now I will announce to you the truth. Behold, up to a certain point, three kings will stand in Persia, and the fourth will be exceedingly enriched in power above them all. And when he has grown strong by his resources, he will stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.

3 Ary hisy mpanjaka mahery hitsangana, izay hanapaka amin’ ny fanapahana lehibe sady hanao araka izay sitrapony.

But there will rise up a strong king, and he will rule with great power, and he will do what he pleases.

4 Ary rehefa mitsangana izy, dia horavana ny fanjakany ka hozaraina ho amin’ ny rivotra efatry ny lanitra; fa tsy ho an’ ny taranany, na araka ny fanapahany izay nanapahany, fa hongotana ny fanjakany ka ho an’ ny hafa, fa tsy ho an’ ireo.

And when he has been firmly established, his kingdom will be shattered and will be divided towards the four winds of the heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom will be torn to pieces, even for the outsiders who have been expelled from these.

5 Ary hahery ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo; nefa ny anankiray amin’ ny andriandahiny dia hahery noho izy aza ka hanapaka; ary ho fanapahana lehibe ny fanapahany.

And the king of the South will be reinforced, yet one of his leaders will prevail over him, and he will rule with riches, for great is his domain.

6 Ary rehefa afaka taona vitsivitsy, dia hikambana izy roa lahy ireo; ary ho avy ny zanakavavin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo hankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra hahatsara ny fihavanana; nefa tsy hahatana ny herin-tsandry izy, ary tsy hahajanona ilay mpanjaka na ny sandriny, fa hatolotra razazavavy sy ireo nitondra azy sy rainy niteraka azy mbamin’ izay nampahery azy tamin’ izany andro izany.

And after the end of years, they will form a federation, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to make friendship, but she will not obtain the strength of arms, neither will her offspring stand firm, and she will be handed over, along with those who brought her, her young men, and those who comforted her in these times.

7 Fa hisy solofony anankiray avy amin’ ny fakany hitsangana handimby azy, ka hihavian’ izay ny miaramila, ary hidirany ny fiarovana mafin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra, ka hasiany ireo, dia hahery izy.

And a transplant from the germination of her roots will stand up, and he will come with an army, and will enter into the province of the king of the North, and he will abuse them, and will hold it fast.

8 Ary ny andriamaniny koa mbamin’ ny sarin-javatra an-idina sy ny fanaka tsara ananany, na ny volafotsy na ny volamena, dia hobaboiny avokoa; ary hijanona elaela tsy hamely ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra izy.

And, in addition, he will carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven images, and likewise their precious vessels of gold and silver. He will prevail against the king of the North.

9 Ary ho tonga amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo izy, nefa hody any amin’ ny taniny ihany.

And the king of the South will enter into the kingdom, and will return to his own land.

10 Fa hanomana tafika ny zanany ka hanangona miaramila maro be; dia ho avy tokoa ireo ka hanerana toy ny safotra, rehefa afaka izany, dia hiverina izy, ary hanihiny ihany na dia ny fiarovana mafiny aza.

But his sons will be challenged, and they will assemble a multitude of very many forces. And he will arrive rushing and overflowing. And he will be turned back, and he will be enraged, and he will join the battle in his redness.

11 Ary dia hisafoaka ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo, ka hivoaka hiady aminy izy, dia amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra, ary izy hanangona maro be; ary ny maro be dia hatolotra ho eo an-tànany.

And the king of the South, having being challenged, will go forth and will fight against the king of the North, and he will prepare an exceedingly great multitude, and a multitude will be given into his hand.

12 Ary raha miainga ireo maro be ireo, dia hiavonavona ny fony; ary haharipaka alinalina izy, nefa tsy hahery.

And he will seize a multitude, and his heart will be exalted, and he will cast down many thousands, but he will not prevail.

13 Fa hiverina ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra ka hanangona olona maro be mihoatra noho ny teo; ary rehefa afaka ny fe-taona, dia ho avy tokoa izy ka hitondra miaramila maro sy fitaovana betsaka.

For the king of the North will change strategy and will prepare a multitude much greater than before, and at the end of times and years, he will rush forward with a great army and exceedingly great resources.

14 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia maro no hitsangana hamely ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo; ary ireo loza indrindra amin’ ny firenenao dia hanandra-tena hahatò ny fahitana, nefa ho lavo izy.

And in those times, many will rise up against the king of the South. And likewise the sons of the deceivers among your people will extol themselves, so as to fulfill the vision, and they will collapse.

15 Ka dia ho avy ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra hanandratra tovon-tany hanafaka ny tanàna mimanda; ary na ny sandrin’ ny atsimo na ny olom-pidiny dia tsy hahomby, ary tsy hisy hery hahombiazany.

And the king of the North will arrive and will transport siege works, and he will seize the most fortified cities. And the arms of the South will not withstand him, and his elect will rise up to resist, but the strength will not.

16 Fa izay avy hamely azy dia hanao araka Izay sitrapony, ka tsy hisy hahajanona eo anatrehany; ary izy hijanona ao amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra, ary hisy fandringanana eny an-tànany.

And when he arrives, he will do just as he pleases, and there will be none who stand against his face. And he will stand in the illustrious land, and it will be consumed by his hand.

17 Dia hivonona tsara handeha amin’ ny herin’ ny fanjakany rehetra izy ka hanao izay hahatsara ny fihavanana; ary homeny ny zanakavavin’ ny vehivavy izy ka hahatonga loza aminy; ary tsy hahalavorary razazavavy, na hahasoa azy akory.

And he will set his face to strive to hold his entire kingdom, and he will make fair conditions with him. And he will give him a daughter among women, so as to overthrow it. But she will not stand, neither will she be for him.

18 Ary hitodika mankany amin’ ny nosy izy ka hahalasa be; ary hisy mpanapaka hampitsahatra ny latsa ataony, sady hatsingeriny aminy ny latsa ataony.

And he will turn his face towards the islands, and he will seize many. And he will cause the leader of his reproach to cease, and his reproach will be turned around for him.

19 Dia hitodika hankany, amin’ ny fiarovana mafy any amin’ ny taniny izy; kanjo ho tafintohina sy ho lavo izy ka tsy ho hita.

And he will turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he will strike, and will overthrow, but he will not succeed.

20 Ary hitsangana handimby azy indray ny anankiray izay hampandeha mpampiasa ho any amin’ izay tsara indrindra amin’ ny fanjakany; fa rehefa afaka andro vitsy, dia ho faty io, nefa tsy amin’ ny fahatezerana, na amin’ ny ady.

And there will stand up in his place one who is most worthless and unworthy of kingly honor. And in a short time, he will be worn out, but not in fury, nor in battle.

21 Ary hisy olona famingavinga hitsangana handimby io indray, izay tsy homena ny voninahitry ny fanjakana; fa hiditra tsy ampoizina izy ka hahazo ny fanjakana amin’ ny fahafetsena,

And there will stand up in his place the despicable one, and he will not be assigned the honor of a king. And he will arrive in secret, and he will obtain the kingdom by deceitfulness.

22 ary ireo miaramila toy ny safotra no hindaosina hiala eo anatrehany sady ho resiny mbamin’ ny andriana vita fanekena aminy koa.

And the arms of the fighting will be assaulted before his face and will be shattered, and, in addition, the leader of the federation.

23 Eny, rehefa mifanaiky aminy io, dia hanao fitaka; fa hiakatra izy ka hahery, na dia vitsy aza ny olona entiny.

And, after making friends, he will trick him, and he will go up and will overcome with a small people.

24 Hiditra tsy ampoizina amin’ ny fari-tany mahavokatra indrindra izy ka hanao izay tsy nataon’ ny rainy na ny razany; hahahany eny amin’ ireny ny sambotra sy ny babo ary ny harena; ary hamoron-tsaina izy ka hamely ny fiarovana mandra-pahalanin’ ny fotoana.

And he will enter into rich and resourceful cities, and he will do what his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and will form a plan against the most steadfast, and this until a time.

25 Ary hanaitra ny heriny sy ny fony izy hamely ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo amin’ ny miaramila maro; ary ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo kosa hanafika mitondra miaramila maro sady mahery indrindra; nefa tsy hahajanona izy, satria hisy hamoron-tsaina hamely azy.

And his strength and his heart will be enraged against the king of the South with a great army. And the king of the South will be provoked into going to war by having many allies and exceedingly good circumstances, and yet these will not stand, for they will form plans against him.

26 Eny, izay homana ny hanina avy aminy ihany no hahalavo azy, ary ny miaramilany hanerana toy ny safotra, sady maro ny faty hiampatrampatra.

And those who eat bread with him will crush him, and his army will be suppressed, and very many will die, having been executed.

27 Ary ny fon’ ireo mpanjaka roa ireo dia samy ta-hanao ratsy, ary eo an-databatra iray no hiresahany lainga; nefa tsy hambinina izany; fa ny farany dia ho amin’ ny fotoana ihany.

And the heart of two kings will be similar, to do harm, and they will speak lies at one table, but they will not succeed, because as yet the end is for another time.

28 Ary hiverina ho any amin’ ny taniny mitondra harena be izy; koa ny fony dia hanohitra ny fanekena masìna; ary hahefa sy hiverina ho any amin’ ny taniny izy

And he will return to his land with many resources. And his heart will be against the holy testament, and he will act, and he will return to his own land.

29 Amin’ ny fotoana dia ho lasa mianatsimo indray izy; nefa ny farany tsy ho toy ny voalohany;

At the appointed time, he will return, and he will approach the South, but the latter time will not be like the former.

30 fa ny sambon’ i Kitima ho avy namely azy, ka dia ho kivy izy ka hiverina ary hisafoaka amin’ ny fanekena masìna ka hamely; eny, hiverina izy ka hisaina ny amin’ ireo efa mahafoy ny fanekena masìna.

And the Greek warships and the Romans will come upon him, and he will be pierced, and will retreat, and will have scorn against the testament of the sanctuary, and he will act. And he will return and will consult their adversaries, who have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.

31 Ary hisy miaramila hitsangana noho ny teniny ka handoto ny fitoerana masìna, dia ny fiarovana mafy, ary hampitsahatra ny fanatitra isan’ andro sady hampiditra ny fahavetavetana mahatonga fandravana.

And arms will take his side, and they will pollute the sanctuary of the strength, and they will take away the continual sacrifice and will replace it with the abomination of desolation.

32 Ary izay mivadika ny fanekena dia hambosiny amin’ ny fandroboana; fa ny dona izay mahalala an’ Andriamaniny kosa dia hifikitra amin’ izany ka hankatò azy.

And the impious within the testament will imitate deceitfully, but the people, knowing their God, will persevere and will act.

33 Ary izay hendry ao amin’ ny olona dia hampianatra ny maro; nefa ho lavon’ ny sabatra sy ny lelafo sy ny famaboana ary ny fandrobana elaela ihany izy.

And the teachers among the people will teach many, but they will be ruined by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by assaults for many days.

34 Ary rehefa lavo izy, dia hahazo famonjena kely; ary maro no hikambana aminy amin’ ny fihatsaram-belatsihy.

And when they have fallen, they will be supported with a little help, but many will apply to them deceitfully.

35 Ary hisy ho lavo koa ny manan-tsaina, mba hizahan-toetra sy hanadiovana ary hamotsiana azy ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro farany, fa mbola ho amin’ ny fotoana ihany izany.

And some of the learned will be ruined, that they may be kindled and chosen and purified, up to the predetermined time, because there will be still another time.

36 Ary ny mpanjaka hanao araka izay sitrapony; ary hisandratra sy hanandra-tena ho ambonin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra izy ka hiteny zavatra mahagaga ny amin’ Andriamanitry ny andriamanitra, ary hambinina ihany izy mandra-pahatanteraky ny fahatezerana; fa izay efa voatendry no tsy maintsy hatao.

And the king will act according to his will, and he will be lifted up and will be extolled against every god. And he will speak great things against the God of gods, and he will control, until the passion is completed. Once accomplished, the limit is reached with certainty.

37 Ary tsy hahoany akory ny andriamanitry ny razany, na ny fitiavan’ ny vehivavy; eny, tsy hahoany akory izay andriamanitra, fa hanandra-tena noho izy rehetra izy.

And he will give no thought to the God of his fathers, and he will be in the desire of women, and he will not attend to any gods, because he will rise up against all things.

38 Fa ny andriamanitry ny fiarovana mafy no hankalazainy hisolo izany; ary volamena sy volafotsy sy vato soa ary zavatra mahafinaritra no ho entiny mankalaza ny andriamanitra izay tsy fantatry ny razany.

But he will do homage to the god Maozim in his place, and, a god whom his fathers did not know, he will worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and costly things.

39 Dia homban’ ny andriamani-kafa izy ka hamely ny batery mafy indrindra, ary izay manaiky azy dia homeny voninahitra be sady hataony mpanapaka ny maro, ary hozarainy ho azy ny tany ho valim-pitia.

And he will act to reinforce Maozim with an alien god, of whom he has become aware, and he will increase their glory, and will give them power over many, and he will distribute land for free.

40 Ary amin’ ny faran’ ny andro dia hanoto azy ny mpanjakan’ ny atsimo; ary ny mpanjakan’ ny avaratra koa ho avy hamely azy toy ny tafio-drivotra ka hitondra kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly ary sambo maro; ary hiditra amin’ ny tany izy ka hanerana toy ny safotra.

And, at the predetermined time, the king of the South will fight against him, and the king of the North will come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great fleet, and he will enter into the lands, and will crush and pass through.

41 Hiditra ao amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra koa izy, ary maro no ho ripaka; fa izao kosa no ho afa-mandositra ny tànany: Edoma sy Moaba ary ireo lohan’ ny taranak’ i Amona.

And he will enter into the glorious land, and many will fall. But only these will be saved from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the first part of the sons of Ammon.

42 Haninjitra ny tànany amin’ ny tany sasany koa izy; ary ny tany Egypta tsy ho afa-mandositra.

And he will cast his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape.

43 Fa hahalasa ny rakitra volamena sy volafotsy ary ny zava-tsoan’ i Egypta rehetra izy; ary ny Libyana sy ny Etiopiana hanaraka azy.

And he will rule over the treasure chests of gold, and silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and likewise he will pass through Libya and Ethiopia.

44 Fa hisy siosion-teny avy any atsinanana sy avy any avaratra haharaiki-tahotra azy, ka dia hivoaka amin’ ny fahatezerana be izy handrava sy handringana maro.

And rumors from the East and from the North will trouble him. And he will arrive with a great multitude to destroy and to execute many.

45 Ary haoriny eo anelanelan’ ny ranomasina sy ny tendrombohitra masìna mahafinaritra ny trano-lainy izay lapany; nefa ho tonga ao amin’ ny hiafarany ihany izy, ka tsy hisy hamonjy azy.

And he will fasten his tabernacle, Apadno, between the seas, upon an illustrious and holy mountain, and he will come even to its summit, and no one will help him.”
