Daniel 11
1 “And so, from the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood firm, so that he might be reinforced and strengthened.
Mu mwaka ogw’olubereberye ogw’obufuzi bwa Daliyo Omumeedi, nayimirira okumugumya era n’okumunyweza.
2 And now I will announce to you the truth. Behold, up to a certain point, three kings will stand in Persia, and the fourth will be exceedingly enriched in power above them all. And when he has grown strong by his resources, he will stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
“Kaakano nnaakutegeeza eby’amazima: Bakabaka basatu abalala balifuga mu Buperusi, n’owookuna aliba mugagga nnyo okusinga bali bonna; era bw’alimala okwenyweza olw’obugagga bwe, alikubiriza bonna okujeemera obwakabaka obwa Buyonaani.
3 But there will rise up a strong king, and he will rule with great power, and he will do what he pleases.
N’oluvannyuma walirabika kabaka ow’amaanyi, alifuga n’obuyinza bungi n’akola nga bw’ayagala.
4 And when he has been firmly established, his kingdom will be shattered and will be divided towards the four winds of the heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom will be torn to pieces, even for the outsiders who have been expelled from these.
N’oluvannyuma obwakabaka bwe bulisasika ne bugabanyizibwa eri embuyaga ennya ez’omu ggulu. Ezzadde lye teriribugabana, era n’obwakabaka obwo tebuliba na buyinza bwe yalina kubanga obwakabaka bwe bulisigulwa ne buweebwa abalala.
5 And the king of the South will be reinforced, yet one of his leaders will prevail over him, and he will rule with riches, for great is his domain.
“Kabaka ow’obukiikaddyo aliba w’amaanyi, naye omu ku bakungu be aliba w’amaanyi okumusinga era alifuga obwakabaka bwe n’amaanyi mangi.
6 And after the end of years, they will form a federation, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to make friendship, but she will not obtain the strength of arms, neither will her offspring stand firm, and she will be handed over, along with those who brought her, her young men, and those who comforted her in these times.
Bwe waliyitawo emyaka, balyegatta wamu n’omuwala wa kabaka ow’obukiikaddyo, aligenda eri kabaka ow’obukiikakkono okumwegattako, naye talisigaza buyinza bwe so ne kabaka newaakubadde ezzadde lye tebaliwangaala. Mu biro ebyo aliweebwayo ye n’abo baayita nabo mu lubiri, awamu ne kitaawe, era n’oyo eyamuwagira.
7 And a transplant from the germination of her roots will stand up, and he will come with an army, and will enter into the province of the king of the North, and he will abuse them, and will hold it fast.
“Ow’omu lulyo lwe, yaalitwala ekifo kye; alirumba eggye lya kabaka ow’obukiikakkono n’ayingira mu lubiri lwe, era alibalwanyisa n’abawangula.
8 And, in addition, he will carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven images, and likewise their precious vessels of gold and silver. He will prevail against the king of the North.
Aliddira bakatonda baabwe n’ebifaananyi byabwe ebisaanuuse n’ebintu byabwe eby’omuwendo ebya ffeeza n’ebya zaabu n’abitwala e Misiri, era alimala ebbanga nga tazzeeyo kulumba kabaka w’obukiikakkono.
9 And the king of the South will enter into the kingdom, and will return to his own land.
Kabaka w’obukiikakkono alirumba amatwale ga kabaka w’obukiikaddyo naye oluvannyuma aliwalirizibwa okuddayo mu nsi ye.
10 But his sons will be challenged, and they will assemble a multitude of very many forces. And he will arrive rushing and overflowing. And he will be turned back, and he will be enraged, and he will join the battle in his redness.
Batabani be balyeteekateeka ne bakuŋŋaanya eggye eddene era balisaanyaawo ensi eyo ng’amazzi aganjaala n’amaanyi, era balituuka ku lubiri lwe.
11 And the king of the South, having being challenged, will go forth and will fight against the king of the North, and he will prepare an exceedingly great multitude, and a multitude will be given into his hand.
“Mu busungu obungi, kabaka w’obukiikaddyo alirumba kabaka w’obukiikakkono ow’eggye eddene, n’amuwangula.
12 And he will seize a multitude, and his heart will be exalted, and he will cast down many thousands, but he will not prevail.
Kabaka w’obukiikaddyo bw’alimala okuwangula eggye eryo eddene, n’aliwamba, alyegulumiza n’atta bangi ku bo, naye taliwangaala.
13 For the king of the North will change strategy and will prepare a multitude much greater than before, and at the end of times and years, he will rush forward with a great army and exceedingly great resources.
Bwe waliyitawo ebbanga kabaka w’obukiikakkono alikuŋŋaanya n’afuna eggye eddene okusinga ery’olubereberye, n’oluvannyuma lw’emyaka emingi, alirumba n’eggye lye ng’alina ebyokulwanyisa ebiwera.
14 And in those times, many will rise up against the king of the South. And likewise the sons of the deceivers among your people will extol themselves, so as to fulfill the vision, and they will collapse.
“Mu biro ebyo bangi balijeemera kabaka w’obukiikaddyo; era n’abasajja ab’effujjo ab’omu ggwanga lyo balitandika okujeema, naye baliremwa, ebigambo bye wayolesebwa bituukirire.
15 And the king of the North will arrive and will transport siege works, and he will seize the most fortified cities. And the arms of the South will not withstand him, and his elect will rise up to resist, but the strength will not.
Awo kabaka w’obukiikakkono alijja n’akola ebifunvu era aliwamba ekibuga ekiriko bbugwe. Eggye ery’omu bukiikaddyo teririsobola kumulwanyisa, newaakubadde abaserikale baabwe abatendeke abakugu ennyo okumusobola.
16 And when he arrives, he will do just as he pleases, and there will be none who stand against his face. And he will stand in the illustrious land, and it will be consumed by his hand.
Oyo alibalumba, alikola nga bw’ayagala so tewaliba n’omu alimuziyiza; era alyenyweza mu nsi ennungi, yonna n’ebeera mu buyinza bwe.
17 And he will set his face to strive to hold his entire kingdom, and he will make fair conditions with him. And he will give him a daughter among women, so as to overthrow it. But she will not stand, neither will she be for him.
Alijja n’ekitiibwa eky’obwakabaka bwe kyonna ng’amaliridde okukola endagaano ne kabaka w’obukiikaddyo. Alimuwa muwala we okumufumbirwa awambe obwakabaka, naye enteekateeka ye terituukirira newaakubadde okumuyamba.
18 And he will turn his face towards the islands, and he will seize many. And he will cause the leader of his reproach to cease, and his reproach will be turned around for him.
N’oluvannyuma alikyuka n’alumba ensi ey’oku mabbali g’ennyanja n’agiwamba; naye walibaawo omuduumizi alikomya okujooga kwe, n’amwesasuza.
19 And he will turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he will strike, and will overthrow, but he will not succeed.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo alikyuka okwagala okuddayo mu mbiri ez’omu nsi ye, naye alyesittalira mu kkubo n’agwa, n’ataddayo kulabika.
20 And there will stand up in his place one who is most worthless and unworthy of kingly honor. And in a short time, he will be worn out, but not in fury, nor in battle.
“Alimusikira, aliweereza omusolooza w’omusolo alituukiriza eby’obwakabaka, naye mu nnaku ntono alizikirizibwa, si mu lutalo newaakubadde mu busungu.
21 And there will stand up in his place the despicable one, and he will not be assigned the honor of a king. And he will arrive in secret, and he will obtain the kingdom by deceitfulness.
“Alidda mu kifo ky’oyo, aliba musajja mubi nnyo naye nga taweereddwa buyinza buva eri kabaka. Alirumba obwakabaka abantu nga batudde ntende, n’abuwamba ng’akozesa enkwe.
22 And the arms of the fighting will be assaulted before his face and will be shattered, and, in addition, the leader of the federation.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo eggye ery’amaanyi liriwangulwa ne lizikirizibwa mu maaso ge; n’omulangira ow’endagaano naye alizikirizibwa.
23 And, after making friends, he will trick him, and he will go up and will overcome with a small people.
Awo bw’alimala okukola endagaano naye, alibeefuulira, n’aba w’amaanyi ng’ayambibwako abantu batono.
24 And he will enter into rich and resourceful cities, and he will do what his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and will form a plan against the most steadfast, and this until a time.
Mu biro eby’emirembe, alirumba amasaza amagagga, nga tebamwetegekedde, n’akola bajjajjaabe bye bataakolanga newaakubadde bajjajja ba bajjajjaabe. Aligabula abagoberezi be, ebinyage n’obugagga, ne yeekobaana okuwamba embiri, naye ekyo kirimala akaseera katono.
25 And his strength and his heart will be enraged against the king of the South with a great army. And the king of the South will be provoked into going to war by having many allies and exceedingly good circumstances, and yet these will not stand, for they will form plans against him.
“Alikuŋŋaanya eggye ddene mu maanyi ge n’obuvumu bwe n’alumba kabaka w’obukiikaddyo. Kabaka w’obukiikaddyo alyerwanako n’eggye eddene era ery’amaanyi ennyo; naye talimuyinza olw’enkwe ze baamusalira.
26 And those who eat bread with him will crush him, and his army will be suppressed, and very many will die, having been executed.
N’abo abanaagabana ku bugagga bwa kabaka baligezaako okumuzikiriza, era eggye lye lirisaanawo, bangi ku bo ne bafiira mu lutalo.
27 And the heart of two kings will be similar, to do harm, and they will speak lies at one table, but they will not succeed, because as yet the end is for another time.
Bakabaka bombi abaamalirira okukola eby’ekyejo mu mitima gyabwe, balituula ku mmeeza emu, ne bakuusagana naye tewalibaawo kya mazima kiteesebwa kubanga enkomerero erituuka mu biro ebyalagirwa.
28 And he will return to his land with many resources. And his heart will be against the holy testament, and he will act, and he will return to his own land.
Kabaka w’obukiikakkono aliddayo mu nsi ye n’obugagga bungi, n’omutima gwe gulikyawa endagaano entukuvu. Era alikola kye yateekateeka mu mutima gwe n’oluvannyuma n’addayo mu nsi ye.
29 At the appointed time, he will return, and he will approach the South, but the latter time will not be like the former.
“Mu bbanga eryagerebwa, alirumba obukiikaddyo nate, naye ku luno tekiriba nga bwe kyali mu biro eby’olubereberye.
30 And the Greek warships and the Romans will come upon him, and he will be pierced, and will retreat, and will have scorn against the testament of the sanctuary, and he will act. And he will return and will consult their adversaries, who have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
Emmeeri ez’e Kittimu zirimulwanyisa era aliggwaamu amaanyi, n’oluvannyuma alikyuka okuddayo n’asunguwalira endagaano entukuvu. Bw’aliddayo alikolagana n’abo abakyawa endagaano entukuvu.
31 And arms will take his side, and they will pollute the sanctuary of the strength, and they will take away the continual sacrifice and will replace it with the abomination of desolation.
“Amaggye ge galigolokoka okugwagwawaza awatukuvu wa yeekaalu era aliggyawo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekya buli lunaku. N’oluvannyuma balissaawo eby’emizizo ebireeta ennaku n’okubonaabona.
32 And the impious within the testament will imitate deceitfully, but the people, knowing their God, will persevere and will act.
Alisendasenda abo abaajeemera endagaano, naye abantu abamanyi Katonda waabwe baliyimirira ne bamuwakanya n’amaanyi.
33 And the teachers among the people will teach many, but they will be ruined by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by assaults for many days.
“Ab’amagezi baliwabula bangi, newaakubadde nga balittibwa, n’abalala ne bookebwa omuliro, n’abalala ne bawambibwa, n’abalala ne banyagibwa okumala akaseera katono.
34 And when they have fallen, they will be supported with a little help, but many will apply to them deceitfully.
Bwe baligwa baliyambibwako akatono era bangi abatali ba mazima balibasendasenda ne babeegattako.
35 And some of the learned will be ruined, that they may be kindled and chosen and purified, up to the predetermined time, because there will be still another time.
Abamu ku b’amagezi balyesittala, balyoke balongoosebwe, batukuzibwe, baleme kuba na bbala mu kiseera eky’enkomerero, kubanga ebiro ebyo byategekebwa era birituukirira.
36 And the king will act according to his will, and he will be lifted up and will be extolled against every god. And he will speak great things against the God of gods, and he will control, until the passion is completed. Once accomplished, the limit is reached with certainty.
“Kabaka alikola nga bw’ayagala. Alyenyumiriza ne yeegulumiza okusinga katonda yenna, era alyogera ebitawulikikangako ku Katonda wa bakatonda. Aliba mugagga okutuusa ebiro eby’obusungu lwe birituukirira, kubanga ekyasalibwawo kiteekwa okutuukirira.
37 And he will give no thought to the God of his fathers, and he will be in the desire of women, and he will not attend to any gods, because he will rise up against all things.
Talissa kitiibwa mu bakatonda ba jjajjaabe newaakubadde oyo abakazi gwe beegomba, so talissa kitiibwa mu katonda yenna, naye alyegulumiza okusinga bonna.
38 But he will do homage to the god Maozim in his place, and, a god whom his fathers did not know, he will worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and costly things.
Mu kifo ky’abo, alissa ekitiibwa mu katonda w’embiri, katonda ataamanyibwa bajjajjaabe gwalitonera zaabu ne ffeeza, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo n’ebirabo eby’omuwendo omungi.
39 And he will act to reinforce Maozim with an alien god, of whom he has become aware, and he will increase their glory, and will give them power over many, and he will distribute land for free.
Alirumba embiri ez’amaanyi ennyo ng’ayambibwako katonda omugwira, era abo abalissa ekimu naye, alibawa ekitiibwa kinene, n’abawa n’okufuga abantu bangi, n’ensi n’agigabanyaamu olw’amagoba.
40 And, at the predetermined time, the king of the South will fight against him, and the king of the North will come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great fleet, and he will enter into the lands, and will crush and pass through.
“Mu biro eby’enkomerero kabaka w’obukiikaddyo alimulumba, naye kabaka w’obukiikakkono alifubutuka n’ajja okumusisinkana ng’alina amagaali n’abeebagala embalaasi, n’emmeeri nnyingi, era alirumba ensi nnyingi n’aziyitamu ng’embuyaga.
41 And he will enter into the glorious land, and many will fall. But only these will be saved from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the first part of the sons of Ammon.
Alirumba Ensi Ennungi n’awamba n’amawanga mangi, naye Edomu ne Mowaabu n’abakulembeze ba Amoni balimuwona.
42 And he will cast his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape.
Okufuga kwe kulyeyongera mu mawanga mangi, ne Misiri nga mw’omutwalidde.
43 And he will rule over the treasure chests of gold, and silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and likewise he will pass through Libya and Ethiopia.
Alifuga amawanika aga zaabu ne ffeeza, n’eby’obugagga byonna ebya Misiri, n’afuula Abalibiya n’Abaesiyopiya okuba abaddu be.
44 And rumors from the East and from the North will trouble him. And he will arrive with a great multitude to destroy and to execute many.
Naye amawulire agaliva mu buvanjuba ne mu bukiikakkono galimukanga, olwo n’alyoka agolokoka mu busungu obungi ennyo okugenda okuzikiriza n’okumalawo bangi ku bo.
45 And he will fasten his tabernacle, Apadno, between the seas, upon an illustrious and holy mountain, and he will come even to its summit, and no one will help him.”
Alisimba eweema ze ez’olubiri wakati w’ennyanja n’olusozi olulungi era olutukuvu; era naye alikoma so tewaliba amuyamba.
