< Daniela 11 >
1 Aa ty amako, ie tan-taom-baloha’ i Dariavese nte-Madày le nitroatse hañosike naho hampaozatse aze.
"And as for me, in the first year of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.
2 Ie henane zao le haboako ama’o ty hatò. Inay, fa ho mpanjaka telo ty e Parase ao, fa hanontoñe vara bey te amy telo rey iaby ty fah’efatse; le i hafatrara’ey añamo vara’eo ty hampitrobotroboe’e i màroy haname Iavane.
And now what I show you is true. Look, there shall arise three more kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all the kingdom of Greece.
3 Hiongak’ amy zao ty mpanjaka mahimbañe, le ho felehe’e ty fifeheañe jabajaba vaho hanoe’e ze satri’e.
And a powerful king shall arise, who shall rule an extensive empire, and do as he pleases.
4 Fa ie mifehe, le ho folaheñe i fifehea’ey vaho ho zaraeñe amo tiok’efa’ i likerañeio, fe tsy amo tarira’eo, ndra amy fifeheañe nifelehe’ey; fa hombotañe ho amo ila’e tsy a’ iareoo i fifehea’ey.
When he shall arise, his kingdom shall be broken up, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, and will go to others besides these.
5 Le i mpanjaka’ i atimoiy, ty raik’ amo mpifele’eo ro hampifatra-batañe naho handikoatse aze vaho hihaozatse; ho bey henehene i fifehea’ey.
The king of the south shall grow strong, and one of his officers shall grow more powerful, and shall have a greater kingdom than his.
6 Fa ie migadoñe i sa zay, le hifampipiteke iereo; fa homb’ amy mpanjaka’ i avaratsey ty anak’ ampela’ i atimoy hifañina, fe tsy ho tana’e ty hafatraram-pità’e; tsy hahafitroatse ka i lahilahiy ndra i fità’ey, fa haitoañe rekets’ o nanese azeo naho i nisamak’ azey, vaho o mpañimb’ aze amy andro zaio.
At the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain her power; neither shall his strength endure; but she shall be surrendered, and her attendants, and he who became the father of her, and he who supported her in those times.
7 Fe boak’ ami’ty singam-baha’e ty hitroara’ ty raik’ amy fiambesa’ey naho hivotrak’ amy mpirai-lian-dahindefoñey naho himoak’ an-kijoly fatra’ i mpanjaka avaratsey naho hanoe’e am’ iereo ze satri’e, vaho hahagioke;
But out of a shoot from her roots shall arise in his place, who shall come against the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
8 le fonga ho tavane’e naho hendese’e am-pandrohizañe mb’e Mitsraime añe o ndrahare’ iareoo, rekets’ o roandria’eo, naho o fanake volafoty naho volamena sarotseo, ie hahatam-bàtañe taoñe maromaro amy mpanjaka’ i avaratseiy.
Also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall withdraw for some years from the king of the north.
9 Izay ty himoaha’ i mpanjaka’ i atimoy i fifeheañey vaho himpoly an-tane’e añe.
And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
10 Fe hitrobo-vatañe o ana’eo naho hatonto’ iareo ty hatozantozan-dian-dahindefoñe naho hiherereake mb’eo, le hisorotombake, naho hiranga, naho hitolike vaho haname i kijoli’e fatratsey an-kaviñerañe.
And his sons shall wage war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance and overflow and pass through, and they shall return and wage war, as far as his fortress.
11 Aa le hiforoforo amy zao i mpanjaka’ i atimoy naho haname aze vaho hialy ama’e, amy mpanjaka’ i avaratseiy, aa ndra t’ie valobohòke ro havotra’e amy montoñey, toe hene hatolotse am-pità’e i valobohòkey.
The king of the south shall be moved with rage and shall come forth and fight against him, even with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
12 Aa ie fa nasese’e i valobohòkey, le hirengevoke ty arofo’e, vaho añ’ ale añ’ ale ty hafetsa’e ambane, fe tsy hampanjofak’ aze.
The multitude shall be taken away, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
13 Ie añe, le hatonto’ i mpanjaka avaratsey ty lahi-ale mandikoatse i teoy, le ie am-pigadoñan-tsà naho taoñe ro hañoridañe mb’eo reketse lian-dahialen-defoñe mitozantozañe naho haraotse tsifotofoto.
The king of the north shall return, and shall raise a multitude greater than the former; and he shall advance after some years with a great army and with abundant supplies.
14 Fe maro ty hitroatse haname i mpanjaka’ i atimoy amy sa zay; o ana-piaroteñe am’ondati’oo ty hitroatse hañenefa’ iareo i aroñaroñey, fe hihotrake.
And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south: also the violent ones among your people shall rise up in confirmation of the vision; but they shall fail.
15 Aa le homb’eo ty mpanjaka’ i avaratsey hamotry tamboho naho hitavañe ty rova maòzatse, le tsy hahatañ’ aze o fità’atimoo, ndra i lia-raike jinobo’ey, ie ho po-haozarañe tsy hahafitroatse.
So the king of the north shall come, and build up a siege mound and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not prevail, neither his best troops, neither shall there be any strength to resist.
16 Hanao ze satri’e i haname azey, naho tsy eo ty hahafiatrek’ ama’e, ie hijohañe amy tane engeñey, vaho fanjamanañe ty ho am-pità’e.
But he who comes against him shall do as he pleases, and no one shall be able to withstand him. And he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction will be within his power.
17 Hampiatrefe’e laharañe homba’e mb’eo reketse ze hene haozaram-pifehea’e naho hifañina’e: hatolo’e aze ty anak’ ampelan-drakemba, hampimomohañe aze; fe tsy hijohañe ho aze i ampelay vaho tsy ho tohaña’e.
He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with him which he shall put into effect. And he shall give him a daughter of women to send destruction on him; but it will not last or be to his advantage.
18 Aa le hampitolihe’e mb’amo tokonoseo ty lahara’e, le ho tavane’e ty maro, fe hampijihetse ty fañinjea’e ty roandriañe vaho hafote’e ama’e i fañinjea’ey.
After this shall he turn his face to the coastal regions, and shall capture many. But a commander shall bring his insolence to an end. In addition, he shall repay him for his insolence.
19 Hampitolihe’e laharañe mb’ amo kijoly an-tane’eo, fe hitsikapy re toe hikoromake vaho tsy ho tendreke ka.
Then he shall turn his attention toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found again.
20 Hitroatse handimbe aze ty hampiranga mpamori-haba ami’ty enge’ i fifeheañey; f’ie modo ty andro tsy ampe le ho folake tsy aman-kaboseke tsy aman-aly.
Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, though not in anger nor in battle.
21 Handimbe aze ty lo-tsereke; tsy hatolotse ama’e ty asi’ i fifeheañey; f’ie hivotrake eo am-pilongoañe le ho azo’e an-kabeake i fifeheañey.
In his place shall arise a despicable person, to whom the honor of kingship had not been given, but he shall come in a time of prosperity, and shall obtain the kingdom through deceit.
22 Lahindefo tsifotofoto ty hisaok’ añatrefa’e hoe sinaon-tsorotombake, vaho ho pozaheñe; eka, ndra i ana-dona’ i fañinaiy.
And large armies shall be swept away and shattered before him, as well as the prince of the covenant.
23 Ie nifandrimboñe, te mone hitolom-pamañahiañe, vaho hitroatse naho hihaozatse am-borizàñe kedekedeke.
And after an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall become strong with a small force.
24 Hivotrak’ amo toetse vondrak’ amy faritaneio re an-tsam-pierañerañañe; vaho hanoe’e am’ iereo ty tsy nanoen-drae’e, ndra o roaen-drae’eo; ho zarae’e am’ iereo ty tsindroke, ty kopake, naho ty vara; eka hikinia ty fikililia’e amo rova fatratseo fe am-para’ i àndroy avao.
In a time of prosperity he shall come even on the richest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor their fathers; he shall distribute among them plunder, and spoil, and property. He shall devise plans against their strongholds, but only for a time.
25 Ho trobotroboe’e ty hafatrara’e naho ty hahavania’e hiatreke i mpanjaka’ i atimoy ami’ty hatozantozan-dahin-defo’e; hihàroke hihotakotake ty mpanjaka’ i atimoy an-dia-rain-dahin-defo jabajaba naho maozatse; fe tsy hahafijohañe, amy t’ie hikinià’ iareo.
And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall wage war in battle with an extremely large and powerful army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise plans against him.
26 Eka, o mitrao-pikama ama’eo ty handrotsak’ aze, naho hisaok’ añe i lia-rain-dahin-defo’ey, vaho lako ty hitsingoritritse am-pizamanañe.
Yes, those who eat of his royal food shall seek to destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall slain.
27 Le ty amy mpanjaka roroey, hifamañahy avao ty arofo’ iareo, vaho hifandañitse am-pandambañañe eo, fe tsy hiraorao; amy te i andro tinendrey avao ty higadoña’e.
As for both these kings, their minds shall be fixed on evil, and they shall speak lies at the table; but it shall not succeed; for still the end shall be at the appointed time.
28 Ie mimpoly mb’an-tane’e mb’ eo, amam-bara tsifotofoto, le te hiatreatre i fañina miavakey ty tro’e, naho hanoe’e ze satri’e, vaho himpoly an-tane’e añe.
Then shall he return into his land with great property; and his mind shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall take action, and then return to his own land.
29 Ie añ’andro tinendre le hibalike, vaho hivotrak’ atimo ao; fe tsy ho hambañe amy taoloy i henane zay.
At the appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before.
30 F’ie tamè o sambo’ i Kitìo le hanahelo naho himpoly vaho hatorifi’e i fañina miavakey; aa le hanoe’e ze satri’e naho hibalike vaho hitrao-kilily amo namorintseñe i fañina miavakeio.
For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be intimidated, and shall turn back, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and shall take action. He shall turn back, and show regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 Hanontoñe lahin-defon-dre, le ho leore’ iareo i toetse miavakey naho i rova fatratsey, vaho hapitso’ iareo i fisoroñañe boak’ àndroy, handimbeza’ iareo fiterateràñe mampangoakoake.
Forces shall come at his order, and they shall profane the sanctuary and the fortress, and shall take away the daily burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that causes desolation.
32 Hanao kabeake re hampanan-kakeo o mifotetse amy fañinaio, fe hihaozatse ondaty mahafohiñe an’ Andrianañahare’eo vaho hitoloñe.
And those who act wickedly toward the covenant he shall corrupt by smooth words; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and take action.
33 Hampahilala i màroy o mahihitse am’ondatio, fe hampikorovohem-pibara naho afo, naho fandrohizañe, vaho fikopahañe andro maro.
And those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.
34 Ie mikorovoke le holorañe fañolorañe kedeke, fe an-tsiriry ty hipiteha’ i màroy am’ iereo.
Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join with them insincerely.
35 Hitsikapy ka ty ila’ o mahihitse am’ iereoo, ho tranaheñe naho lioveñe naho fotieñe ampara’ ty sa honka’e, fa mbe añe i andro tinendrey.
Some of those who are wise shall fall, to be refined, purified and cleansed until the time of the end; for the appointed time is still to come.
36 Hanao ze satri’e i mpanjakay, hitoabotse naho hisenge ambone’ ze atao ndrahare naho hilañoñe haterateràñe mahatangoangoa aman’ Andrianañaharen-drahare vaho hiraorao am-para’ te heneke i hatorifihañey, fa ho henefeñe ze tinendre.
And the king shall do as he pleases. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak outrageous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is decreed shall be done.
37 Tsy hahoa’e t’i Andrianañaharen-droae’e, ndra ty fikokoan-ampela, ndra ty fañisohan’ añahare ia’ia; fa hitoabotoabotse ambone’ ze kila raha.
Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the one desired by women, nor show regard to any other god, because he shall magnify himself above all.
38 Te mone hiasia’e ty ndraharen-toem-pàtratse, ndrahare tsy nifohin-droae’e; hiasie’e am-bolamena naho volafoty naho vato-soa vaho hareañe saro-bily.
But instead he shall honor the god of fortresses; a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold and silver, and with valuable stones, and costly gifts.
39 Hitraok’ amo mpiaman-drahare kihàfao re hamboatse fipalirañe maozatse, le hampitoabore’e ty enge’ iareo naho hampifelehe’e ty maro vaho ho zarae’e i taney hahazoa’e tombo’e.
And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he shall grant considerable honor; and he shall make them rulers over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
40 Aa ie migadoñe i sa zay le hikapàke ama’e ty mpanjaka atimo, fe hampibobo tangololahy ama’e an-tsarete ty mpanjaka avaratse reketse soavala vaho sambo maro, hene hivotraha’e o taneo, ho sorotombahe’e ami’ty firanga’e mb’eo.
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south attack him. And the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall invade countries, and pass through like a flood.
41 Homb’ amy tane rengèñey re le hihotrake ty fifeheañe maro, fe iretoañe ty hipolatitse am-pità’e: i Edome naho i Moabe vaho ty talen’ ana’ i Amone.
He shall enter also into the beautiful land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.
42 Hatorakitsi’e amo taneo ty fità’e vaho tsy hahafandrifitse ama’e ty tane Mitsraime.
He shall reach out his hand also on other countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 Fonga ho fehè’e o vara volamena naho volafotio naho ze raha saro-bili’ i Mitsraime; le ho atimpahe’e o nte-Lobìo naho o nte-Kosio.
But he shall have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his feet.
44 Fe hitsobore aze ty talily boak’ atiñanañe naho avaratse añe; aa le hionjomb’eo re am-poroforo mandofiry handrotsake naho hanjamañe ty maro.
But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with tremendous rage to destroy and utterly sweep away many.
45 Hajado’e añivo’ o riakeo naho i vohitse miavake fanjàkay o sokemitrahan-drova’eo vaho higadoñe ty fiai’e, tsy amam-pañolotse.
And he shall pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with no one to help him.
