< Daniel 11 >

1 And from the first year of Darius the Mede I stood up that he might be strengthened and confirmed.
Pea ko au foki ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Talaiasi ko e Mitia, ʻio, ko au, naʻaku tuʻu hake ke fakatuʻumaʻu mo tokoni kiate ia.
2 And now I will shew thee the truth. Behold there shall stand yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be enriched exceedingly above them all: and when he shall be grown mighty by his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
Pea ko eni, te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae moʻoni. “Vakai, ʻe toetuʻu hake ʻi Peasia, ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolu; pea ko hono fā ʻe koloaʻia lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mālohi koeʻuhi ko ʻene koloa, te ne ueʻi kotoa pē ke tali tuʻu ki he puleʻanga ʻo Kalisi.
3 But there shall rise up a strong king, and shall rule with great power: and he shall do what he pleaseth.
“Pea ʻe tuʻu hake ha tuʻi mālohi, ʻaia ʻe pule ʻaki ʻae pule lahi, pea ne fai ʻo fakatatau mo hono loto.
4 And when he shall come to his height, his kingdom shall be broken, and it shall 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 shall be rent in pieces, even for strangers, beside these.
Pea ʻoka ne tuʻu hake ia ʻe mafesi hono puleʻanga, pea ʻe movetevete ia ki he feituʻu matangi ʻe fā ʻoe langi, ka e ʻikai ki hono hako, pea ʻe ʻikai tatau ia mo hono puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻa ne puleʻi: he koeʻuhi ʻe taʻaki hono puleʻanga, koeʻuhi ko e niʻihi kehe, ka e ʻikai koeʻuhi ko kinautolu pe.
5 And the king of the south shall be strengthened, and one of his princes shall prevail over him, and he shall rule with great power: for his dominion shall be great.
“Pea ʻe mālohi ʻae tuʻi mei he potu tonga, mo e tokotaha ʻi hono houʻeiki; pea ʻe mālohi hake ia ʻiate ia, pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae pule; pea ko ʻene pule ʻe hoko ko e pule lahi.
6 And after the end of years they shall be in league together: and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make friendship, but she shall not obtain the strength of the arm, neither shall her seed stand: and she shall be given up, and her young men that brought her, and they that strengthened her in these times.
Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi taʻu te nau fakataha ʻakinautolu: he ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga, ʻe haʻu ia ki he tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, ke fai ha fuakava mo ia: ka e ʻikai maʻu kiate ia ʻae mālohi ʻoe nima; pea ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ia, ʻaia pe ko hono nima: ka e tukuange ʻae fefine, mo kinautolu naʻa nau omi mo ia, mo ia naʻa ne tupu ai, pea mo ia naʻe tokoni ki ai ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ko ia.
7 And a plant of the bud of her roots, shall stand up: and he shall come with an army, and shall enter into the province of the king of the north: and he shall abuse them, and shall prevail.
Ka e tupu hake mei hono mangaʻi aka ʻe taha ha tokotaha ʻi hono tofiʻa, ʻaia ʻe hoko mai mo e kau tau, pea ʻe hū ia ki he kolo ʻoe tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, pea te nau fai mo ia, pea te ne ikuna:
8 And he shall also carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven things, and their precious vessels of gold and silver: he shall prevail against the king of the north.
Pea ʻe ʻave pōpula foki ki ʻIsipite, ʻa honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea mo honau houʻeiki, pea mo ʻenau ngaahi ipu mahuʻinga, ko e siliva mo e koula; pea ʻe lahi hono taʻu ʻoʻona, ʻi he tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau.
9 And the king of the south shall enter into the kingdom, and shall return to his own land.
Ko ia ʻe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga ki hono puleʻanga, pea toki foki atu ki hono fonua ʻoʻona.
10 And his sons shall be provoked, and they shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and he shall come with haste like a flood: and he shall return and be stirred up, and he shall join battle with his forces.
Ka e ueʻi ai hono ngaahi foha, pea te nau tānaki ʻae fuʻu kau tau tokolahi; pea ko honau tokotaha ʻe haʻu moʻoni ia ʻo kāpui, mo ʻalu atu: pea ʻe toki foki mai ia, pea ʻe toe hiki ʻe ia ʻae tau, ʻo aʻu ki heʻene kolo.
11 And the king of the south being provoked shall go forth, and shall fight against the king of the north, and shall prepare an exceeding great multitude, and a multitude shall be given into his hand.
Pea ʻe ngaue ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga ʻi he tuputāmaki kiate ia, pea ʻe haʻu ia ʻo tau mo ia, ʻio, mo e tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau; pea ʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae fuʻu tokolahi kiate ia, ka e tuku ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ki hono nima.
12 And he shall take a multitude, and his heart shall be lifted up, and he shall cast down many thousands: but he shall not prevail.
Pea ʻoka ne ka fetuku atu ʻae fuʻu tokolahi, ʻe fakahikihiki hono loto; pea te ne lī ki lalo ʻae ngaahi toko mano lahi: ka e ʻikai te ne mālohi ai.
13 For the king of the north shall return and shall prepare a multitude much greater than before: and in the end of times and years, be shall come in haste with a great army, and much riches.
He koeʻuhi ʻe toe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, pea te ne ʻomi mo e fuʻu tokolahi, ʻo lahi hake ʻi he ʻuluaki, ʻoku pau pe ke toe hoko mai ia mo e fuʻu kau tau, pea mo e koloa lahi, ʻoka hili ʻae ngaahi taʻu.
14 And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south, and the children of prevaricators of thy people shall lift up themselves to fulfill the vision, and they shall fall.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ko ia ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tokolahi ki he tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga; pea ko e kau kaihaʻa ʻi hoʻo kakai foki, te nau hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae meʻa hā mai; ka te nau hinga.
15 And the king of the north shall come, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take the best fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up to resist, and they shall not have strength.
Ko ia ʻe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau, pea keli kolo, pea ʻe ikuʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo kuo ʻāʻi mālohi: pea ko e mahafu ʻoe potu tonga ʻe ʻikai faʻa taʻofi ki ai, pe ko ʻene kakai fili, pea ʻe ʻikai siʻi ha mālohi ke taʻofi.
16 And he shall come upon him and do according to his pleasure, and there shall be none to stand against his face: and he shall stand in the glorious land, and it shall be consumed by his hand.
Ka ko ia ʻoku haʻu kiate ia ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻa ʻene faʻiteliha, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ha tokotaha ʻi hono ʻao: pea ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he fonua ʻoe monūʻia, pea ʻe fakaʻauha foki ia ʻi hono nima.
17 And he shall set his face to come to possess all his kingdom, and he shall make upright conditions with him: and he shall give him a daughter of women, to overthrow it: and she shall not stand, neither shall she be for him.
Pea ʻe fakahangatonu hono mata foki ke hū ki ai mo e mālohi kotoa ʻo hono puleʻanga, mo e matamata fai totonu; ʻe pehē pe ʻene fai: pea neongo ʻene foaki kiate ia ʻae fungani ʻi he kau fefine, ke kākaaʻi: ka ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ia kiate ia, pe kau mo ia.
18 And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many: and he shall cause the prince of his reproach to cease, and his reproach shall be turned upon him.
Pea hili ia ʻe fakahangatonu, hono mata ki he ngaahi ʻotu motu, pea te ne maʻu ia ʻo lahi: ka e ʻi ai ʻae ʻeikitau ʻe taha te ne fakangata ʻa ʻene polepole mai, pea ʻe liliu ʻe ia ʻae manuki ke toe hoko kiate ia pe.
19 And he shall turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he shall stumble, and fall, and shall not be found.
Pea hili ia te ne toki fakahangatonu hono mata ke ʻalu ki he kolo ʻo hono fonua: ka te ne tūkia mo humu, pea ʻe ʻikai kei ʻiloʻi ia.
20 And there shall stand up in his place, one most vile, and unworthy of kingly honour: and in a few days he shall be destroyed, not in rage nor in battle.
Pea ʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻi hono tuʻunga ʻoʻona ha taha fakatupu tukuhau ʻi he nāunau ʻoe puleʻanga: ka e ʻaho siʻi pe pea ʻe ʻauha ia, ka e ʻikai ʻi he ʻita, pe ʻi he tau.
21 And there shall stand up in his place one despised, and the kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and shall obtain the kingdom by fraud.
Pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻi hono potu ʻoʻona ha tokotaha fakalielia, ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ki ai ʻae nāunau ʻoe puleʻanga: ka te ne hoko ki ai ʻi he melino, pea te ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he lapu.
22 And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before his face, and shall be broken; yea also the prince of the covenant.
Pea ʻe melemo ʻakinautolu ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he malofa mai ʻae mahafutau ʻo hangē ko e vai, pea ʻe maumauʻi ia, ʻio, ʻe ia mo e ʻEiki naʻe fai ʻae fuakava;
23 And after friendships, he will deal deceitfully with him: and he shall go up, and shall overcome with a small people.
Pea ka hili ʻa ʻena fai fuakava mo ia, te ne fai kākā: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ia, pea te ne hoko ʻo mālohi ka ko e kakai tokosiʻi.
24 And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities: and he shall do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers: he shall scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time.
He te ne hoko ʻi he melino pe ʻo maʻu ʻae ngaahi potu koloaʻia ʻoe fonua; pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ke fai ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai, pe ko ʻene ngaahi kui; he te ne tufa kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa kuo maʻu ʻi he mālohi, mo e meʻa maʻu ʻi he tau, mo e koloa: pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻene fakakaukau ki he ngaahi potu mālohi, ʻio, ʻi ha kuonga.
25 And his strength and his heart shall be stirred up against the king of the south with a great army: and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with many and very strong succours: and they shall not stand, for they shall form designs against him.
Pea te ne langaʻi ʻene mālohi, pea ʻe toʻa hono loto ki he tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga mo e fuʻu kau tau; pea ʻe ngaue ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga ke tau mo e kau tau tokolahi fakamanavahē; ka e ʻikai te ne tuʻumaʻu: koeʻuhi te nau fakakaukauʻi ʻae ngaahi tauhele kiate ia.
26 And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain.
‌ʻIo, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻi heʻene meʻakai, te nau tāmateʻi ia, pea ko ʻene kautau ʻe movete: pea ʻe tō ʻo mate ʻae tokolahi.
27 And the heart of the two kings shall be to do evil, and they shall speak lies at one table, and they shall not prosper: because as yet the end is unto another time.
Pea ʻe loto ʻae ongo tuʻi ni fakatouʻosi pe ke fai kovi, pea te na lea loi ʻi he keinangaʻanga pe taha ka e ʻikai lava: he ko e ngataʻanga ʻe hoko pe ia ʻi he kuonga kuo kotofa.
28 And he shall return into his land with much riches: and his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall succeed and shall return into his own land.
“Pea ʻe toki foki atu ia ki hono fonua mo e koloa lahi; pea ʻe kovi hono loto ki he fuakava māʻoniʻoni; pea te ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, pea foki atu ki hono fonua.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and he shall come to the south, but the latter time shall not be like the former.
Pea ʻi he kuonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni te ne foki mai, pea haʻu ki he potu tonga; ka e ʻikai hangē ko e fuofua haʻu, pe ko ia kimui.
30 And the galleys and the Romans shall come upon him, and he shall be struck, and shall return, and shall have indignation against the covenant of the sanctuary, and he shall succeed: and he shall return and shall devise against them that have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
Koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae ngaahi vaka mei Kitimi: ko ia te ne mamahi ai, pea foki, pea ʻe lahi ʻene ʻita ki he fuakava māʻoniʻoni: ʻe pehē ʻa ʻene fai; ʻio, ʻe liu mai ia, pea toki alea mo kinautolu ʻoku siʻaki ʻae fuakava māʻoniʻoni
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall defile the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the continual sacrifice, and they shall place there the abomination unto desolation.
Pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae mahafutau ʻo kau mo ia, pea te nau fakaʻuliʻi ʻae potu tapu ʻoe mālohi pea te nau ʻave ʻae feilaulau ʻaho, pea te nau fokotuʻu ʻae meʻa fakalielia ʻoku fakaʻulia.
32 And such as deal wickedly against the covenant shall deceitfully dissemble: but the people that know their God shall prevail and succeed.
Pea te ne fakalotokoviʻi ʻi he lapu ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai kovi ki he fuakava, ka e mālohi ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻilo honau ʻOtua, pea te nau fai meʻa lahi.
33 And they that are learned among the people shall teach many: and they shall fall by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by spoil for many days.
Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku poto ʻi he kakai, te nau akonekina ʻae tokolahi: ka te nau tō ʻi he heletā, mo e afi, mo e pōpula, mo e fakamālohi, ʻo ʻaho lahi.
34 And when they shall have fallen they shall be relieved with a small help: and many shall be joined to them deceitfully.
Pea ʻoka nau ka tō, ʻe tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae tokoni siʻi: ka e pikitai ʻae tokolahi kiate kinautolu ʻi he lapu.
35 And some of the learned shall fall, that they may be tried, and may be chosen, and made white even to the appointed time, because yet there shall be another time.
Pea ʻe tō ha niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku poto, koeʻuhi ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ke fakamaʻa, mo fakahinehina, ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ʻoe ngataʻanga: koeʻuhi ʻoku kei ai ʻae kuonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni.
36 And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall be lifted up, and shall magnify himself against every god: and he shall speak great things against the God of gods, and shall prosper, till the wrath be accomplished. For the determination is made.
Pea ʻe fai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo fakatatau mo hono loto; pea te ne hakeakiʻi ʻe ia ia, mo fakahikihikiʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē, pea te ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamanavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, pea ʻe monūʻia ia, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae houhau: he ko ia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe fai pe ia.
37 And he shall make no account of the God of his fathers: and he shall follow the lust of women, and he shall not regard any gods: for he shall rise up against all things.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pe ko e holi ki he fefine, pe tokanga ki ha ʻotua ʻe taha: he koeʻuhi te ne hakeakiʻi ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.
38 But he shall worship the god Maozim in his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not, he shall worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and things of great price.
Ka e fakaʻapaʻapa ia ki he ʻotua ʻoe mālohi, pea ko e ʻotua naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai, te ne fakaʻapaʻapa ki ai ʻaki ʻae koula mo e siliva, pea mo e ngaahi maka koloa, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fai ki ai ʻae manako.
39 And he shall do this to fortify Maozim with a strange god, whom he hath acknowledged, and he shall increase glory and shall give them power over many, and shall divide the land gratis.
‌ʻE pehē pe ʻene fai ʻi he ngaahi potu mālohi, mo e ʻotua foʻou, ʻaia te ne fakahā mo fakanāunauʻia: pea te ne fai ke nau pule ki he tokolahi; pea te nau vahevahe ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ke maʻu koloa.
40 And at the time prefixed the king of the south shall fight against him, and the king of the north shall come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great navy, and he shall enter into the countries, and shall destroy, and pass through.
“Pea ʻi he kuonga ʻamui ʻe fakatuʻotuʻa ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga kiate ia: pea ʻe ʻoho kiate ia ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tokelau ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiohio, mo e ngaahi saliote, mo e kau tau heka hoosi, pea mo e ngaahi vaka lahi; pea te ne hū ki he ngaahi fonua, pea te ne mafola atu ai
41 And he shall enter into the glorious land, and many shall fall: and these only shall be saved out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the principality of the children of Ammon.
Te ne hū foki ki he fonua ʻoe monūʻia, pea ʻe lahi ʻae fonua kehekehe ʻe fulihi: ka e hao pe mei hono nima ʻae ngaahi fonua ni, ʻio, ʻa ʻItomi mo Moape, mo e tokolahi ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
42 And he shall lay his hand upon the lands: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Te ne mafao atu hono nima foki ki he ngaahi fonua; pea ʻe ʻikai hao ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsipite.
43 And he shall have power over the treasures of gold, and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt: and he shall pass through Libya, and Ethiopia.
Pea te ne pule ki he koloa, ʻoe koula, mo e siliva, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite: pea ko e kau Lipea mo e kau ʻItiopea, te nau muimui ʻiate ia.
44 And tidings out of the east, and out of the north shall trouble him: and he shall come with a great multitude to destroy and slay many.
Ka te ne mamahi ʻia ʻi he ongoongo mei he potu hahake, pea mo e potu tokelau, ko ia te ne ʻalu atu ʻi he ʻita lahi, ke fakaʻauha mo fakaʻosiʻosingamālie ʻae tokolahi.
45 And he shall fix his tabernacle Apadno between the seas, upon a glorious and holy mountain: and he shall come even to the top thereof, and none shall help him.
Pea te ne fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo hono nofoʻanga ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi tahi ʻi he moʻunga tapu mo nāunauʻia; kae hoko pe ʻa hono ngataʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe tokoni kiate ia.”
