Daaniʼel 11

1 Anis bara Daariyoos namicha Meedon keessaa waggaa tokkoffaatti isa jajjabeessuu fi eeguuf isa bira dhaabadheen ture.

And I in the first year of Cyrus stood to strengthen and confirm [him].

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 tell thee the truth. Behold, there shall yet rise up three kings in Persia: and the fourth shall be very far richer than all: and after that he is master of his wealth, he shall rise up against all the kingdoms of the Greeks.

3 Ergasii mootiin jabaan tokko ni kaʼa; innis humna guddaadhaan ni bulcha; waan fedhes ni hojjeta.

And there shall rise up a mighty king, and he shall be lord of a great empire, and shall do according to his will.

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 his kingdom shall stand up, it shall be broken, and shall be divided to the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled over: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, and [given] to others beside these.

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 shall be strong; and one of their princes shall prevail against him, and shall obtain a great dominion.

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 after his years they shall associate; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north, to make agreements with him: but she shall not retain power of arm; neither shall his seed stand: and she shall be delivered up, and they that brought her, and the maiden, and he that strengthened her in these 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 the flower of her root there shall arise [one on] his place, and shall come against the host, and shall enter into the strongholds of the king of the north, and shall fight against them, and prevail.

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.

Yea, he shall carry with a body of captives into Egypt their gods with their molten [images, and] all their precious vessels of silver and gold; and he shall last longer than the king of the north.

9 Ergasii mootiin Kaabaa daangaa mootii Kibbaa ni qabata; garuu of irra garagalee biyya isaatti deebiʼa.

And he shall enter into the kingdom of the king of the south, and shall return to his own 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 sons shall gather a multitude among many: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through, and he shall rest, and collect his strength.

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 shall be greatly enraged, and shall come forth, and shall war with the king of the north: and he shall raise a great multitude; but the multitude shall be delivered 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 he shall take the multitude, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down many thousands; but he shall not prevail.

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.

For the king of the north shall return, and bring a multitude greater than the former, and at the end of the times of years an invading army shall come with a great force, and with much substance.

14 “Yeroo sanatti namoonni baayʼeen mootii Kibbaatti ni kaʼu. Mulʼata sana raawwachuuf uummata kee keessaa finciltoonni ni kaʼu; garuu ni kufu.

And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south; and the children of the spoilers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; and they shall fail.

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.

And the king of the north shall come in, and cast up a mound, and take strong cities: and the arms of the king of the south shall withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up, but there shall be no strength to stand.

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 that comes in against him shall do according to his will, and there is no one to stand before him: and he shall stand in the land of beauty, and it shall be consumed by his hand.

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 he shall set his face to come in with the force of his whole kingdom, and shall cause everything to prosper with him: and he shall give him the daughter of women to corrupt her: but she shall not continue, neither be on his side.

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.

And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many, and cause princes to cease from their reproach: nevertheless his own reproach shall return to him.

19 Kana irratti inni fuula isaa gara daʼannoowwan biyya isaatti deebifata; garuu gufatee kufa; deebiʼees hin argamu.

Then he shall turn back his face to the strength of his own land: but he shall become weak, and fall, and not be found.

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.

And there shall arise out of his root one that shall cause a plant of the kingdom to pass over his place, earning kingly glory: and yet in those days shall he be broken, yet not openly, nor in war.

21 “Iddoo isaas nama tuffatamaa ulfinni mootummaa hin kennaminiifitu qabata. Inni utuu sabni nagaadhaan jiraatuu mootummaatti duulee dabaan qabata.

[One] shall stand on his place, [who] has been set at nought, and they have not put upon him the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in prosperously, and obtain the kingdom by deceitful ways.

22 Ergasii raayyaan guddaan tokko fuula isaa duraa ni haxaaʼama; innii fi hangafni kakuus ni balleeffamu.

And the arms of him that overflows shall be washed away as with a flood from before him, and shall be broken, and [so shall be] the head of the covenant.

23 Inni erga isa wajjin walii galtee godhatee booddee hojii gowwoomsaa hojjeta; namoota muraasa wajjinis aangoo qabata.

And because of the leagues made with him he shall work deceit: and he shall come up, and overpower them with a small nation.

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.

And he shall enter with prosperity, and [that] into fertile districts; and he shall do what his fathers and his fathers’ fathers have not done; he shall scatter among them plunder, and spoils, and wealth; and he shall devise plans against Egypt, even 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 his strength and his heart shall be stirred up against the king of the south with a great force; and the king of the south shall engage in war with a great and very strong force; but [his forces] shall not stand, for they shall devise plans against him:

26 Warri maaddii mootichaa irraa nyaachaa turan isa balleessuu yaalu; loltoonni isaa ni barbadaaʼu; baayʼeen isaaniis waraana keessatti dhumu.

and they shall eat his provisions, and shall crush him, and he shall carry away armies as with a flood, and many shall fall down slain.

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] both the kings, their hearts [are set] upon mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper; for yet the end is for a [fixed] time.

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 shall return to his land with much substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall perform [great deeds], and return to his own land.

29 “Yeroo murteeffamettis deebiʼee Kibba weerara; yeroo kanatti garuu haalli isaa kan duraa sanaan adda taʼa.

At the [set] time he shall return, and shall come into the south, but the last [expedition] shall [not] be as the first.

30 Dooniiwwan Kitiim isa mormu; innis abdii kutata. Ergasii duubatti deebiʼee kakuu qulqulluutti dheekkamsa isaa buusa. Deebiʼees warra kakuu qulqulluu dhiisan jaallata.

For the Citians issuing forth shall come against him, and he shall be brought low, and shall return, and shall be incensed against the holy covenant: and he shall do [thus], and shall return, and have intelligence with them that have forsaken the holy covenant.

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 seeds shall spring up out of him, and they shall profane the sanctuary of strength, and they shall remove the perpetual [sacrifice], and make the abomination desolate.

32 Inni warra kakuu sana dhiisan gowwoomsee ni dogoggorsa; warri Waaqa isaanii beekan garuu jabaatanii dhaabachuudhaan isa mormu.

And the transgressors shall bring about a covenant by deceitful ways: but a people knowing their God shall prevail, and do [valiantly].

33 “Ogeeyyiin yoo yeroodhaaf goraadeedhaan dhuman illee yookaan gubaman illee yookaan boojiʼaman illee yookaan saamaman illee namoota hedduu ni barsiisu.

And the intelligent of the people shall understand much: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, and by captivity, and by spoil of [many] days.

34 Isaan yeroo dhumuu gaʼanitti gargaarsa xinnaa argatu; fakkeessitoonni hedduunis isaan deeggaru.

And when they are weak they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall attach themselves to them with treachery.

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 them that understand shall fall, to try them as with fire, and to test [them], and that they may be manifested at the time of the end, for the matter [is] yet for a [set] 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 he shall do according to his will, and the king shall exalt and magnify himself against every god, and shall speak great swelling words, and shall prosper until the indignation shall be accomplished: for it is coming to an end.

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.

And he shall not regard any gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, neither shall he regard any deity: for he shall magnify himself above 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.

And he shall honour the god of forces on his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not he shall honour with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and desirable things.

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 shall do [thus] in the strong places of refuge with a strange god, and shall increase his glory: and he shall subject many to them, and shall distribute the land in gifts.

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 end of the time he shall conflict with the king of the south: and the king of the north shall come against him with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and they shall enter into the land: and he shall break in pieces, and pass on:

41 Akkasumas Biyya Bareedduu weerara. Biyyoonni baayʼeen harka isaa jala galu; Edoom, Moʼaabii fi hooggantoonni Amoon garuu isa jalaa ni baʼu.

and he shall enter into the land of beauty, and many shall fail: but these shall escape out of his hand, Edom, and, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

42 Innis biyyoota baayʼee irratti aangoo isaa ni babalʼifata; Gibxis hin miliqxu.

And he shall stretch forth [his] hand over the land; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

43 Qabeenya warqeetii fi meetii, akkasumas badhaadhummaa Gibxi hunda toʼannaa ofii isaa jala galfata; namoonni Liibiyaatii fi Itoophiyaas isa jalatti bulu.

And he shall have the mastery over the secret [treasures] of gold and silver, and over all the desirable [possessions] of Egypt, and of the Libyans and Ethiopians in their strongholds.

44 Garuu oduun baʼaa fi kaabaa dhufu isa sodaachisa; inni namoota baayʼee balleessuu fi fixuuf aarii guddaadhaan ni baʼa.

But rumours and anxieties out of the east and from the north shall trouble him; and he shall come with great wrath to destroy many.

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.

And he shall pitch the tabernacle of his palace between the seas in the holy mountain of beauty: [but] he shall come to his portion, and there is none to deliver him.
