Daniela 11

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

And I in the first year of Darius the Mede had my station to assist and to protect him.

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

And then will stand up a mighty king, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his pleasure.

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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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

But this one will then enter the kingdom of the king of the south, and then return into 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 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 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 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 Ary raha miainga ireo maro be ireo, dia hiavonavona ny fony; ary haharipaka alinalina izy, nefa tsy hahery.

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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 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 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 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

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

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 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.

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

But in their stumbling will they be aided with a little help: but many will join themselves to them with deceptive flatteries.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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

And he will stretch forth his hand against some countries, 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 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 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.

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 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 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.
