< Daaniʼel 11 >
1 Anis bara Daariyoos namicha Meedon keessaa waggaa tokkoffaatti isa jajjabeessuu fi eeguuf isa bira dhaabadheen ture.
And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede I was on his side to make his position safe and make him strong.
2 “Egaa ani dhugaan sitti hima: Mootonni biraa sadii Faares keessatti ni kaʼu; ergasiis mootiin afuraffaan warra kaan hunda irra sooressa taʼe tokko ni kaʼa. Innis erga qabeenya isaatiin jabina argatee booddee tokkoo tokkoo namaa mootummaa Giriik irratti ni kakaasa.
And now I will make clear to you what is true. There are still three kings to come in Persia, and the fourth will have much greater wealth than all of them: and when he has become strong through his wealth, he will put his forces in motion against all the kingdoms of Greece.
3 Ergasii mootiin jabaan tokko ni kaʼa; innis humna guddaadhaan ni bulcha; waan fedhes ni hojjeta.
And a strong king will come to power, ruling with great authority and doing whatever is his pleasure.
4 Erga inni dhufee booddee mootummaan isaa diigamee gara qilleensota samii afraniitti gargar qoqqoodama. Mootummaan isaa buqqaʼee mootota biraatiif waan kennamuuf sanyii isaatti hin darbu yookaan humna inni argatee ture sana hin qabaatu.
And when he has become strong, his kingdom will be broken and parted to the four winds of heaven; but not to his offspring, for it will be uprooted; and his kingdom will be for the others and not for these: but not with the same authority as his.
5 “Mootiin Kibbaa ni jabaata; ajajjoota loltoota isaa keessaa tokko garuu isa caalaa iyyuu jabaatee humna guddaadhaan mootummaa sana bulcha.
And the king of the south will be strong, but one of his captains will be stronger than he and will be ruler; and his rule will be a great rule.
6 Waggoota muraasaan booddee isaan tokko taʼu; walii galtee godhachuufis intalli mooticha Kibbaa gara mootii Kaabaa ni dhaqxi; garuu humna ishee qabattee turuu hin dandeessu; innii fi humni isaa jabaatee hin jiraatu. Bara sana keessa isheen, qondaaltota ishee, abbaa isheetii fi nama ishee gargaare wajjin dabarfamtee ni kennamti.
And at the end of years they will be joined together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she will not keep the strength of her arm; and his offspring will not keep their place; but she will be uprooted, with those who were the cause of her coming, and her son, and he who took her in those times.
7 “Hidda sanyii ishee keessaas namni tokko iddoo ishee qabachuuf ni kaʼa. Innis humnoota mootii Kaabaa dhaʼee daʼannoowwan isaas cabsee ni seena; lolees isaan moʼata.
But out of a branch from her roots one will come up to take his place, who will come against the army, forcing his way into the strong place of the king of the north, and he will take them in hand and overcome them:
8 Inni waaqota isaanii, fakkiiwwan isaanii kan sibiilaatii fi miʼoota isaanii gati jabeeyyii meetii fi warqee boojiʼee gara Gibxitti ni geessa. Waggoota muraasaafis mootii Kaabaa waraanuu ni dhiisa.
And their gods and their metal images and their fair vessels of silver and gold he will take away into the south; and for some years he will keep away from the king of the north.
9 Ergasii mootiin Kaabaa daangaa mootii Kibbaa ni qabata; garuu of irra garagalee biyya isaatti deebiʼa.
And he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will go back to his land.
10 Ilmaan isaa waraanaaf qophaaʼanii humna waraanaa guddaa tokko walitti qabatu; humni kunis akkuma lolaa namni of irraa deebisuu hin dandeenye tokkootti hamma daʼannoo isaatti duulee lola.
And his son will make war, and will get together an army of great forces, and he will make an attack on him, overflowing and going past: and he will again take the war even to his strong place.
11 “Ergasiis mootiin Kibbaa aariidhaan duulee mootii Kaabaa kan loltoota hedduu walitti qabate sana ni waraana; loltoonni hedduun sun garuu ni moʼamu.
And the king of the south will be moved with wrath, and will come out and make war on him, on this same king of the north: and he will get together a great army, but the army will be given into his hand.
12 Mootiin Kibbaa sun yommuu loltoota baayʼee boojiʼutti garaan isaa of tuulummaadhaan guutamee kuma baayʼees ni gogorraʼa; garuu moʼichi isaa itti hin fufu.
And the army will be taken away, and his heart will be uplifted: he will be the cause of the downfall of tens of thousands, but he will not be strong.
13 Mootiin kaabaa humna waraanaa kan isa duraa sana caalaa guddaa walitti qabataatii; waggoota baayʼee booddees humna waraanaa guddaa kan guutummaatti hidhate qabatee ni dhufa.
And again the king of the north will get together an army greater than the first; and he will make an attack on him at the end of years, with a great army and much wealth.
14 “Yeroo sanatti namoonni baayʼeen mootii Kibbaatti ni kaʼu. Mulʼata sana raawwachuuf uummata kee keessaa finciltoonni ni kaʼu; garuu ni kufu.
In those times, a number will take up arms against the king of the south: and the children of the violent among your people will be lifting themselves up to make the vision come true; but it will be their downfall.
15 Ergasii mootiin Kaabaa dhufee tuulaa biyyoo hojjetee magaalaa dallaadhaan marfamte ni qabata. Humnoonni waraana Kibbaas of irraa deebisuuf humna ni dhabu; loltoonni isaanii jajjaboon iyyuu isaan dura dhaabachuuf humna dhabu.
So the king of the north will come, and put up earthworks and take a well-armed town: and the forces of the king of the south will make an attempt to keep their position, even the best of his army, but they will not have strength to do so.
16 Inni itti duule sun waanuma fedhe hojjeta; namni tokko iyyuu of irraa isa deebisuu hin dandaʼu. Inni Biyya Bareedduu sana keessa jabaatee dhaabata; ishee balleessuufis humna qabaata.
And he who comes against him will do his pleasure, and no one will be able to keep his place before him: he will take up his position in the beautiful land and in his hand there will be destruction.
17 Inni jabina mootummaa isaa guutuudhaan dhufuu murteessa; mootii Kibbaa wajjinis walii galtee godhata. Inni mootummaa sana kuffisuuf intala isaa itti heerumsiisa; karoorri isaa kun garuu hin milkaaʼu yookaan isa hin fayyadu.
And it will be his purpose to come with the strength of all his kingdom, but in place of this he will make an agreement with him; and he will give him the daughter of women to send destruction on it; but this will not take place or come about.
18 Ergasii inni gara biyyoota qarqara galaanaa jiraniitti yaada isaa deebifatee baayʼee isaanii qabata; garuu ajajaan tokko of tuulummaa isaa ni fashaleessa; of tuulummaa isaas matuma isaatti deebisa.
After this, his face will be turned to the islands, and he will take a number of them: but a chief, by his destruction, will put an end to the shame offered by him; and more than this, he will make his shame come back on him.
19 Kana irratti inni fuula isaa gara daʼannoowwan biyya isaatti deebifata; garuu gufatee kufa; deebiʼees hin argamu.
Then his face will be turned to the strong places of his land: but his way will be stopped, causing his downfall, and he will not be seen again.
20 “Namni iddoo isaa buʼu ulfina mootummaa eegsisuuf warra gibira walitti qaban ni erga. Taʼus inni utuu aariidhaan yookaan waraanaan hin taʼin yeroo gabaabaa keessatti bada.
Then his place will be taken by one who will send out a man with the glory of a king to get wealth together; but after a short time destruction will overtake him, but not in wrath or in the fight.
21 “Iddoo isaas nama tuffatamaa ulfinni mootummaa hin kennaminiifitu qabata. Inni utuu sabni nagaadhaan jiraatuu mootummaatti duulee dabaan qabata.
And his place will be taken by a low person, to whom the honour of the kingdom had not been given: but he will come in time of peace and will get the kingdom by fair words.
22 Ergasii raayyaan guddaan tokko fuula isaa duraa ni haxaaʼama; innii fi hangafni kakuus ni balleeffamu.
And his forces will be completely taken away from before him and broken; and even the ruler of the agreement will have the same fate.
23 Inni erga isa wajjin walii galtee godhatee booddee hojii gowwoomsaa hojjeta; namoota muraasa wajjinis aangoo qabata.
And from the time when they make an agreement with him, he will be working falsely: for he will take up arms suddenly with a small force,
24 Yeroo kutaawwan biyya sooreyyiin nagaadhaan jiraatanitti isaanitti duulee waan abbootiin isaa yookaan akaakileen isaa hin hojjetin hojjeta. Innis waan boojiʼame, waan saamamee fi qabeenya duuka buʼoota isaatiif ni qoqqooda. Inni daʼannoowwan jigsuuf ni malata; garuu yeroo muraasaaf waan kana godha.
Against fertile places, and will make waste a part of the country; and he will do what his fathers have not done, or his fathers' fathers; he will make distribution among them of goods taken in war and by force, and of property: he will even make designs against the strong places for a time.
25 “Inni raayyaa loltootaa guddaadhaan ciminaa fi jabina isaa mootii Kibbaa irratti ni kakaasa. Mootiin Kibbaas loltoota akka malee baayʼee fi humna qabaniin waraana labsa; garuu sababii mariin isa irratti mariʼatamuuf of irraa ittisuu hin dandaʼu.
And he will put in motion his power and his strength against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will go to war with a very great and strong army: but he will be forced to give way, because of their designs against him;
26 Warri maaddii mootichaa irraa nyaachaa turan isa balleessuu yaalu; loltoonni isaa ni barbadaaʼu; baayʼeen isaaniis waraana keessatti dhumu.
And his fears will overcome him and be the cause of his downfall, and his army will come to complete destruction, and a great number will be put to the sword.
27 Mootonni garaan isaanii hammina yaadu lamaan minjaala tokkotti naannaʼanii tataaʼanii wal sobu; garuu sababii barri dhumaa yeroo murteeffametti dhufuuf wanni kun isaaniif hin milkaaʼu.
And as for these two kings, their hearts will be fixed on doing evil and they will say false words at one table; but it will come to nothing: for the end will be at the time fixed.
28 Mootiin Kaabaa qabeenya guddaadhaan gara biyya isaatti deebiʼa; garaan isaa garuu kakuu qulqulluu morma. Waanuma fedhe itti hojjetee gara biyya isaatti deebiʼa.
And he will go back to his land with great wealth; and his heart will be against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure and go back to his land.
29 “Yeroo murteeffamettis deebiʼee Kibba weerara; yeroo kanatti garuu haalli isaa kan duraa sanaan adda taʼa.
At the time fixed he will come back and come into the south; but in the later time it will not be as it was before.
30 Dooniiwwan Kitiim isa mormu; innis abdii kutata. Ergasii duubatti deebiʼee kakuu qulqulluutti dheekkamsa isaa buusa. Deebiʼees warra kakuu qulqulluu dhiisan jaallata.
For those who go out from the west will come against him, and he will be in fear and will go back, full of wrath against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure: and he will go back and be united with those who have given up the holy agreement.
31 “Humni loltoota isaas dallaa mana qulqullummaa jabaa sana xureessuuf ni kaʼa; aarsaa guyyaa guyyaas ni hambisa. Ergasiis isaan xuraaʼummaa badiisa fidu tokko dhaabu.
And armies sent by him will take up their position and they will make unclean the holy place, even the strong place, and take away the regular burned offering and put in its place an unclean thing causing fear.
32 Inni warra kakuu sana dhiisan gowwoomsee ni dogoggorsa; warri Waaqa isaanii beekan garuu jabaatanii dhaabachuudhaan isa mormu.
And those who do evil against the agreement will be turned to sin by his fair words: but the people who have knowledge of their God will be strong and do well.
33 “Ogeeyyiin yoo yeroodhaaf goraadeedhaan dhuman illee yookaan gubaman illee yookaan boojiʼaman illee yookaan saamaman illee namoota hedduu ni barsiisu.
And those who are wise among the people will be the teachers of the mass of the people: but they will come to their downfall by the sword and by the flame, being made prisoners and undergoing loss for a long time.
34 Isaan yeroo dhumuu gaʼanitti gargaarsa xinnaa argatu; fakkeessitoonni hedduunis isaan deeggaru.
Now at the time of their downfall they will have a little help, but numbers will be joined to them in the town, and in their separate heritages.
35 Ogeeyyii keessaa tokko tokko akka hamma dhumaatti calalamaniif, akka qulqulleeffamanii warra hirʼina hin qabne taʼaniif ni gufatu; wanni kun amma iyyuu yeroo murteeffametti ni dhufaatii.
And some of those who are wise will have wisdom in testing themselves and making themselves clean, till the time of the end: for it is still for the fixed time.
36 “Mootiin waan jaallate hojjeta. Inni Waaqa kam iyyuu caalaa ol ol of qabee Waaqa waaqotaa mormuudhaan waan dhagaʼamee hin beekne dubbata. Inni hamma yeroon dheekkamsaa guutamutti ni milkaaʼa; wanni murteeffame sun guutamuu qabaatii.
And the king will do his pleasure; he will put himself on high, lifting himself over every god, and saying things to be wondered at against the God of gods; and all will be well for him till the wrath is complete; for what has been purposed will be done.
37 Inni waaqota abbootii isaatiif yookaan kan dubartoonni isa jaallataniif yookaan Waaqa kamiif iyyuu ulfina hin kennu; garuu hunda isaanii caalaa ol ol of qaba.
He will have no respect for the gods of his fathers or for the god desired by women; he will have no respect for any god: for he will put himself on high over all.
38 Qooda isaanii waaqa daʼannoowwaniitiif ulfina kenna; inni waaqa abbootiin isaa hin beekin warqee fi meetiidhaan, dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii fi kennaawwan gati jabeeyyiidhaan ulfeessa.
But in place of this he will give honour to the god of armed places, and to a god of whom his fathers had no knowledge he will give honour with gold and silver and jewels and things to be desired.
39 Inni gargaarsa waaqa ormaatiin daʼannoowwan jajjaboo waraana; warra isa jalatti bulanis akka malee kabaja. Namoota baayʼee irrattis bulchitoota isaan godhee gatiidhaan lafa qoodaaf.
And he will make use of the people of a strange god to keep his strongest places; to those whom he takes note of he will give high honour: and he will make them rulers over the mass of the people, and will make division of the land for a price.
40 “Bara dhumaa keessa mootiin Kibbaa waraana itti bana; mootiin Kaabaas fardeen, gaariiwwanii fi dooniiwwan hedduudhaan akkuma dambalii isa irra garagala. Biyyoota baayʼee weeraree akkuma lolaa isaan keessa baʼee darba.
And at the time of the end, the king of the south will make an attack on him: and the king of the north will come against him like a storm-wind, with war-carriages and horsemen and numbers of ships; and he will go through many lands like overflowing waters.
41 Akkasumas Biyya Bareedduu weerara. Biyyoonni baayʼeen harka isaa jala galu; Edoom, Moʼaabii fi hooggantoonni Amoon garuu isa jalaa ni baʼu.
And he will come into the beautiful land, and tens of thousands will be overcome: but these will be kept from falling into his hands: Edom and Moab and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 Innis biyyoota baayʼee irratti aangoo isaa ni babalʼifata; Gibxis hin miliqxu.
And his hand will be stretched out on the countries: and the land of the south will not be safe from him.
43 Qabeenya warqeetii fi meetii, akkasumas badhaadhummaa Gibxi hunda toʼannaa ofii isaa jala galfata; namoonni Liibiyaatii fi Itoophiyaas isa jalatti bulu.
But he will have power over the stores of gold and silver, and over all the valued things of the south: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will be at his steps.
44 Garuu oduun baʼaa fi kaabaa dhufu isa sodaachisa; inni namoota baayʼee balleessuu fi fixuuf aarii guddaadhaan ni baʼa.
But he will be troubled by news from the east and from the north; and he will go out in great wrath, to send destruction on, and put an end to, great numbers.
45 Dunkaana mootummaa isaas galaanotaa fi tulluu bareedaa qulqulluu gidduu ni dhaabbata. Taʼu illee inni dhuma ofii isaatti ni dhufa; namni tokko iyyuu isa hin gargaaru.
He will put the tents of his great house between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain: but he will come to his end with no helper.
