Daniel 11

1 “Sa unang taon ni Dario na taga-Media, dumating ako mismo upang tulungan at pangalagaan si Miguel.

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 At ngayon, ipapahayag ko sa iyo ang isang katotohanan. Tatlong hari ang lilitaw sa Persia at ang ika-apat ay higit na mayaman kaysa sa kanilang lahat. Nang magkaroon siya ng kapangyarihan sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga kayamanan, hihimukin niya ang bawat isa laban sa kaharian ng Grecia.

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 At mamumuno ang isang makapangyarihang hari sa isang napakalaking kaharian at gagawin niya ang lahat ng bagay na kaniyang naisin.

And a strong king will come to power, ruling with great authority and doing whatever is his pleasure.

4 Sa kaniyang paglitaw, mawawasak ang kaniyang kaharian at mahahati sa apat na hangin ng langit. Ngunit hindi ito maibibigay sa kaniyang mga kaapu-apuhan, at hindi ito magkakaroon ng dati nitong kapangyarihan nang pinamumunuan niya ito. Sapagkat mabubunot ang kaniyang kaharian at ibibigay sa hindi niya sariling kaapu-apuhan.

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 Magiging malakas ang hari ng Timog ngunit isa sa kaniyang mga pinuno ng hukbo ang magiging mas malakas sa kaniya at pamumunuan ang mas malaki pang kaharian.

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 Pagkatapos ng ilang taon, sa tamang panahon, gagawa sila ng isang kasunduan. Pupunta ang babaeng anak ng hari ng Timog sa hari ng Hilaga upang patunayan ang kasunduan. Ngunit mawawala ang kaniyang kapangyarihan, at iiwanan siya—siya at ang mga nagdala sa kaniya, ang kaniyang ama, at ang isang taong tumulong sa kaniya sa mga panahong iyon.

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 Ngunit lilitaw ang isang sanga mula sa kaniyang mga ugat na papalit sa kaniyang puwesto. Sasalakayin niya ang mga hukbo at papasukin ang mga tanggulan ng hari ng Hilaga. Lalabanan niya sila at sasakupin.

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 Dadalhin niya sa Egipto ang kanilang mga diyos kasama ang kanilang mga inukit na imaheng metal at ang kanilang mahahalagang lalagyan ng pilak at ginto at sa loob ng ilang taon, iiwasan niyang salakayin ang hari ng Hilaga.

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 Sasakupin ng hari ng Hilaga ang kaharian ng hari ng Timog, ngunit aatras siya sa kaniyang sariling lupain.

And he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will go back to his land.

10 Magsisimula ng digmaan ang kaniyang mga anak na lalaki at magtitipon ng isang malaking hukbong patuloy na darating at aapaw na tulad ng isang baha, makakapasok at muling sasalakay hanggang sa kaniyang tanggulan.

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 Ang hari ng Timog ay galit na magmamartsa at makikipaglaban sa hari ng Hilaga. Magpapalakas ng malaking hukbo ang hari ng Hilaga, ngunit ibibigay ito sa hari ng Timog.

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 Kapag nagtagumpay na ang mga hukbo, mapupuno ng pagmamataas ang hari ng Timog, at papatayin ang libu-libo sa kaniyang mga kaaway. Ngunit hindi siya magtatagumpay.

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 Muling bubuo ng isa pang hukbo ang hari ng Hilaga, mas malaki kaysa nauna. Pagkatapos ng ilang taon, ang hari ng Hilaga ay tiyak na babalik na may isang malaking hukbo na natustusan ng maraming kagamitan.

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 Sa mga panahong iyon, marami ang lilitaw laban sa hari ng Timog. Ang mga pinakamarahas sa iyong mga tao ay tatayo sa kanilang mga sarili upang tuparin ang pangitain, ngunit matitisod sila at mahuhulog.

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 Darating ang hari ng Hilaga at magtatayo ng mga tambak na daraanan at bibihagin ang pinatibay na lungsod. Hindi makakayanang tumayo ng puwersa ng Timog, maging ang kanilang pinakamalalakas na kawal ay walang lakas upang tumayo.

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 Ngunit gagawin ng hari ng Hilaga ang lahat ng gusto niyang gawin laban sa hari ng Timog at walang sinumang pipigil sa kaniya; itatatag niya ang kaniyang sarili sa mainam na lupaing dala-dala ng kaniyang kamay ang ganap na pagkawasak.

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 Ang hari ng Hilaga ay magpapasyang pumunta na taglay ang lakas ng kaniyang buong kaharian, at dala-dala niya ang isang makatarungang kasunduan na kaniyang ipatutupad kasama ang hari ng Timog. Ibibigay niya sa hari ng Timog ang isang babaeng anak na ipapakasal upang wasakin ang kaharian ng Timog. Ngunit hindi magtatagumpay o makakatulong sa kaniya ang balak na ito.

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 Pagkatapos nito, bibigyang pansin ng hari ng Hilaga ang mga baybaying lugar at bibihagin ang marami sa kanila. Ngunit isang pinuno ang pipigil sa kaniyang kalikuan at ibabalik ng pinunong ito ang kaniyang kalikuan sa kaniya.

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 At bibigyan niya ng pansin ang mga kutang tanggulan sa kaniyang sariling lupain, ngunit matitisod siya at babagsak; hindi na siya matatagpuan.

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 Pagkatapos ay may isang lilitaw na kapalit niya at sapilitang maniningil ng pambayad sa buwis para tustusan ang kayamanan ng kaharian. Ngunit sa loob lamang ng ilang araw, siya ay mawawasak, ngunit hindi sa pamamagitan ng galit o labanan.

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 Lilitaw na kapalit niya ang isang hamak na tao, taong hindi pinararangalan ng mga tao ng pangharing parangal; tahimik siyang papasok at kukunin niya ang kaharian dahil sa hindi tapat na papuri.

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 Isang malaking hukbo ang matatangay tulad ng isang baha sa kaniyang harapan. Mawawasak ang hukbong iyon at ang pinunong itinatag ng tipan.

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 Mula sa oras ng pakikipagkasundo sa kaniya, kikilos siya nang may pandaraya; at sa kaunting bilang ng mga tao ay magiging malakas siya.

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 Pupunta siya sa mga pinakamayayamang lalawigan nang walang pasabi at gagawin niya ang mga bagay na hindi man lamang ginawa ng kaniyang ama ni ginawa ng ama ng kaniyang ama— na ikakalat sa kaniyang mga tagasunod ang mga nasamsam, ang mga ninakaw at ang kayamanan. Balak niyang alisin ang pinagtibay na tanggulan, ngunit sa sandaling panahon lamang.

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 Palalakasin niya ang kaniyang kapangyarihan at ang kaniyang tapang laban sa hari ng Timog taglay ang isang malaking hukbo. Magsisimula ng digmaan ang hari ng Timog kasama ang makapangyarihang hukbo, ngunit hindi siya makakatayo dahil sa dami ng banta laban sa kaniya.

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 Maging ang mga kasama ng haring kumakain sa hapag-kainan ay susubukan siyang wasakin. Tatangayin ng agos ang kaniyang mga hukbo tulad ng baha at marami sa kanila ang papatayin.

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 Ang dalawang haring ito ay uupo sa parehong hapag-kainan taglay ang kasamaan ng kanilang mga puso laban sa isa't isa, at magsisinungaling sa bawat isa, ngunit walang layunin. Sapagkat darating ang katapusan sa nakatakdang panahon.

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 At babalik ang hari ng Hilaga sa kaniyang lupain na may maraming kayamanan, ngunit lalabag ang kaniyang puso laban sa banal na tipan. Gagawin niya ang kaniyang ninanais at babalik siya sa kaniyang sariling lupain.

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 Sa nakatakdang panahon, babalik siya at sasakuping muli ang Timog. Ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, hindi ito magiging tulad ng dati.

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 Sapagkat darating ang mga barko ng Kitim laban sa kaniya at mawawalan siya ng pag-asa at babalik. Sisiklab ang galit niya laban sa banal na tipan at masisiyahan siya sa mga taong sumasalungat sa banal na tipan.

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 Lilitaw ang kaniyang mga hukbo at lalapastanganin ang santuwaryo at ang kutang tanggulan; kukunin nila ang mga karaniwang handog na susunugin at magsisimula sila ng pagkasuklam na magiging sanhi ng ganap na pagkawasak.

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 Lilinlangin ang mga lumabag sa tipan at aakitin sila, ngunit ang mga taong nakakakilala sa kanilang Diyos ay magiging malakas at kikilos.

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 Magbibigay nang pang-unawa sa marami ang mga matatalinong tao. Ngunit sa loob ng ilang araw ay mamamatay sila sa espada at sa apoy, bibihagin sila bilang mga bilanggo at nanakawin ang kanilang mga pag-aari.

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 Kapag natisod sila, makatatanggap sila ng kaunting tulong at marami ang sasama sa kanila na walang isang salita.

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 Ang ilan sa mga matatalino ay matitisod upang maging dalisay, malinis at malinang hanggang sa panahon ng katapusan. Sapagkat ang nakatakdang panahon ay paparating pa lamang.

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 Gagawin ng hari ang lahat ng kaniyang ninanais. Itataas niya at palalakihin ang kaniyang sarili sa ibabaw ng bawat diyus-diyosan, at magsasalita ng mga bagay na kagulat-gulat laban sa Diyos ng mga diyos. Magtatagumpay siya hanggang sa maganap ang poot. Sapagkat matutupad ang ipinasyang magaganap.

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 Hindi niya isasaalang-alang ang mga diyos ng kaniyang mga ninuno, ang diyos na ninanais ng mga kababaihan, o iba pang mga diyos. Magmamataas siya at aangkining mas mataas siya sa kanilang lahat.

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 Sa halip na sila, sasambahin niya ang diyos ng mga tanggulan. Paparangalan niya ng ginto at pilak ang isang diyos na hindi kilala, kasama ang mga mahahalagang bato at mamahaling handog.

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 Sasalakayin niya ang mga pinakamalalakas na tanggulan sa tulong ng mga taong kabilang sa isang hindi kilalang diyos. Pararangalan niya ang mga humahanga sa kaniya. Gagawin niya silang mga pinuno ng maraming tao at hahatiin niya ang lupain na may kabayaran.

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 Sa mga huling panahon, sasalakay ang hari ng Timog. Mabilis na sasalakay sa kaniya ang hari ng Hilaga na tulad ng isang bagyo na may kasamang mga karwahe at mga mangangabayo at maraming barko. Sasakupin niya ang maraming bansa at tatangayin niya sila tulad ng isang baha.

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 Darating siya sa maluwalhating lupain, at sampung libong Israelita ang matitisod at babagsak, ngunit maraming taga-Edom at Moab at mga natitirang tao ng Amon ang makakatakas mula sa kaniyang kamay.

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 Palalawakin niya ang kaniyang kapangyarihan sa maraming bansa; hindi makakatakas ang lupain ng Egipto.

And his hand will be stretched out on the countries: and the land of the south will not be safe from him.

43 Magkakaroon siya ng kapangyarihan sa lahat ng mga ginto at pilak, at sa lahat ng kayamanan ng Egipto; paglilingkuran siya ng mga taga-Libya at Etiopia.

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 Ngunit mangangamba siya sa mga ulat mula sa silangan at hilaga at lalabas siya nang may napakatinding galit upang ibukod ang karamihan para sa pagkawasak.

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 Itatayo niya ang mga tolda ng kaniyang palasyo sa pagitan ng mga karagatan, at sa magandang banal na bundok. Darating siya sa kaniyang katapusan at walang sinumang tutulong sa kaniya.

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.
