Daniel 11
1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
Nʼafọ mbụ nke ọchịchị Daraiọs onye Midia, ọ bụ m guzoro inyere ya aka na ichekwa ya.)
2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
“Ugbu a, aga m agwa gị eziokwu. A ga-enwe ndị eze Peshịa atọ ọzọ ndị ga-achịkwa. A ga-enwe eze nke anọ onye ga-aba ụba karịa ndị ọzọ niile. Mgbe ọ ga-adị ike site akụnụba ya, ọ ga-akpalị onye ọbụla imegide eze Griis.
3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Ma mgbe ahụ, a ga-enwe eze dị ike nke ga-eji oke ike chịa. Ọ ga na-eme ihe masịrị ya.
4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside these.
Ma mgbe ọ rịgotachara nʼọchịchị, a ga-ekposa alaeze ya kesaa ya nʼakụkụ anọ nke ụwa ma ọ bụghị ụmụ ya ga na-achị. Ọ bụghịkwa nʼusoro dịka ike ọchịchị ya si dị, nʼihi na a ga-ehopu alaeze ya, nyefee ya nʼaka ndị ọzọ na-abụghị ndị agbụrụ ya.
5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and [one] of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
“Eze nke ndịda ga-adị ike, ma otu onye nʼime ndịisi agha ya ga-adị ike karịa ya, chịakwa alaeze dị ukwu karịa nke ya
6 And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times.
Mgbe afọ ole na ole gasịrị, ha ga-ekekọta onwe ha. Ada eze ndịda ga-agakwuru eze ugwu ka ha gbaa ndụ, ma ada eze agaghị ejigide ike ya, eze na ike ya agaghị adịgidekwa. Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, a ga-arara ada eze ahụ nye, ya na ndị na-eche ya nche, na nna ya na onye ahụ dịnyeere ya.
7 But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, which shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
“Nʼoge ahụ, otu onye ga-esi nʼagbụrụ ụlọ nwanyị ahụ kulite i were ọnọdụ ya ịchị dịka eze, ọ ga-ebuso ndị agha eze mpaghara ugwu agha, bata nʼebe ya e wusiri ike, ọ ga-alụso ha agha ghọọ onye mmeri.
8 And also their gods, with their molten images, [and] with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north.
Ọ ga-ebukọrọ chi ha niile na arụsị ha niile awụrụ awụ ma ndị atụrụ atụ, na ihe ndị ọzọ dịkarịsịrị ha mkpa dịka efere, ọlaọcha na nke ọlaedo laa Ijipt. O mechaa nke a, ọ ga-akwụsị ịlụso eze ugwu ọgụ afọ ole na ole.
9 And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
Otu a kwa, eze mpaghara ugwu ga-ebuso eze ndịda agha, ma ọ gaghị anọ ọdụ lọghachikwa nʼala nke ya.
10 And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through: and they shall return and war, even to his fortress.
Ma ụmụ ya ndị ikom ga-achịkọta ọtụtụ ndị agha siri ike, ndị ga-enupu dịka oke idee mmiri, buru agha ruo nʼebe ya e wusiri ike.
11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
“Mgbe ahụ, eze ndịda, onye iwe ga-eju obi, ga-achịkọtakwa ndị agha nke ya buso eze ugwu agha, onye nke ga-achịkọta ọtụtụ ndị agha, ma ndị a ka ndị iro ya ga-alụgbu.
12 And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted: and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
Ma mgbe o merichara ndị agha ahụ, ọ ga-enwe ọṅụ dị ukwu, ọ ga-egbukwa imerime puku ndị mmadụ, ma ọ gaghị emeri na-aga nʼihu.
13 And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, [even of] years, with a great army and with much substance.
Mgbe afọ ole na ole gafere, eze ndị mpaghara ugwu ga-eduru ndị agha ji ezi ngwa agha, na ndị bara ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ karịa ndị nke e meriri nʼagha na mbụ pụọ ibu agha.
14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
“Nʼoge ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị ga-ebili imegide eze ndịda, Ụfọdụ ndị ọkpa aghara nʼetiti unu ga-enupukwa isi, ha ga-esi otu a mezuo ihe a ị hụrụ nʼọhụ, ma a ga-emeri ha.
15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take a well fenced city: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
Mgbe ahụ, eze ndị mpaghara ugwu ga-abịa buo agha megide obodo ndị ndịda e wusiri ike, lụgbukwaa ya. Ndị agha agaghị enwe ike iguzogide ha ọ bụladị ndị ha bụ ọka ibe nʼagha.
16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction.
Ma onye nke na-ebuso ya agha ga-eme ihe masịrị ya, ma o nweghị onye ga-egbochi ha. Ọ ga-abatakwa nʼAla Ọma ahụ, ebe ihe niile ga-anọ nʼokpuru ya.
17 And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he shall do [his pleasure]: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him.
Ọ ga-ekpebi ịbịa nʼike nke alaeze ya niile, iji mee nke a, ya na eze nke ndịda ga-agba ndụ. Ọ ga-enyekwa ya nwaagbọghọ iji kwatuo alaeze ya, ma ebumnobi ya agaghị eguzo maọbụ baara ya uru.
18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him.
Mgbe ọ mesịrị nke a, ọ ga-eche ihu ya nʼobodo ndị ahụ niile dị nʼọnụ osimiri. Ọ ga-emerikwa ọtụtụ nʼime ha. Ma otu ọchịagha ga-alụso ya ọgụ, mee ka o jiri ọsọ gbaghachi nʼihere.
19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
Ọ ga-echigharị azụ chee ihu ya ebe niile e wusiri ike nke ala nke ya, ọ ga-asọ ngọngọ daa, a gaghị ahụkwa ya ọzọ.
20 Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
“Otu onye ga-abịa nọchie ọnọdụ ya, ọ ga-ezipụ onye ga-ekegbu ndị mmadụ nʼụtụ iji mee ka otuto nke alaeze ahụ daa, ma nʼime ụbọchị ole na ole, a ga-egbu ya, ma ọ gaghị abụ nʼagha maọbụ nʼihu mmadụ.
21 And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
“Nʼọnọdụ ya, otu onye ọjọọ e ledara anya ga-ebilite, onye na-ekwesighị iwere nsọpụrụ nke ya bụ ọchịchị. Ọ ga-abata nʼike nʼalaeze ahụ mgbe ndị ya nọ nʼudo, ọ ga-eji nwayọọ ma were ire ụtọ na aghụghọ nweta alaeze ahụ.
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be swept away from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-achụsasị igwe ndị agha niile, bibiekwa ha na onye ọchịchị nke ọgbụgba ndụ.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.
Mgbe ọ banyesịrị nʼọgbụgba ndụ, ọ ga-eji aghụghọ na-eme mpu, ọ ga na-esiwanye ike nʼagbanyeghị nʼọnụọgụgụ ndị mmadụ dị ole na ole.
24 In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: yea, he shall devise his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
Ọ ga-abanye nʼakụkụ ala ahụ niile a maara ndị bara ụba bi, mee nʼebe ahụ ihe ndị buru ya ụzọ na-emebeghị. Ọ ga-ekesara ndị mmadụ akụnụba na ihe nkwata ndị ọzọ ọ lụtara nʼagha. Ọ ga-atụpụta aro iji lụso obodo siri ike ọgụ, ma nke ahụ ga-adị nwa mgbe nta.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army: but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him.
“Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-emesi onwe ya obi ike, chịkọtaa ọtụtụ ndị agha ibuso eze ndịda agha. Eze ndịda ga-achịkọtakwa ndị agha dị ọtụtụ dịkwa ike lụso ya ọgọ ma ọ gaghị enwe ike guzogide ya nʼihi izuzu nzuzo a gbara megide ya.
26 Yea, they that eat of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
Nʼihi na ndị na-eri ihe ọma eze ga-etipịa ya. A ga-achụsa ndị agha ya, ma gbukwaa ọtụtụ nʼọgbọ agha.
27 And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
Ndị eze abụọ a, ndị obi ha jupụtara nʼihe ọjọọ ga-anọkọta nʼotu tebul na-agwarịta ibe ha okwu ụgha, ma nzukọ ha agaghị enwe isi, nʼihi ọgwụgwụ ahụ ga-adị mgbe a kara aka ruru.
28 Then shall he return into his land with great substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall do [his pleasure], and return to his own land.
Ọ ga-eji akụnụba dị ukwuu laghachi nʼobodo nke ya ma obi ya ga-adị imegide ọgbụgba ndụ nsọ ahụ. Ọ ga-ebili imegide ya ma mesịa laghachi nʼobodo nke aka ya.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
“Ma mgbe oge ahụ a kara aka ruru, ọ ga-achịrịkwa ndị agha ya laghachi na ndịda, ma ihe agaghị adị otu ọ dị na mbụ.
30 For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do [his pleasure]: he shall even return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant.
Ụgbọ mmiri ndị si obodo Kitim ga-abịa imegide ya, ọ ga-ada mba nʼihi egwu, ọ ga-alaghachi azụ were oke iwe megide ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ dị nsọ. Ọ ga-alọghachi gosi ndị hapụrụ ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ dị nsọ nkwado.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual [burnt offering]; and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate.
“Ndị agha ya ga-ebili imerụ ebe ahụ e wusiri ike nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, kwụsịkwa aja nsure ọkụ nke a na-achụ kwa ụbọchị. Ha ga-ewuli ihe arụ nke na-eweta mbibi.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries: but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].
Ọ ga-eji ire ụtọ merụọ ndị ahụ mebiri iwu nke ọgbụgba ndụ. Ma ndị ahụ maara Chineke ha ga-adị ike guzogide ya.
33 And they that be wise among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, [many] days.
“Ndị niile nwere uche ga-ezi ọtụtụ mmadụ ihe, ma na nwa oge nta, ụfọdụ ga-anwụ site na mma agha, ụfọdụ ka a ga-akpọ ọkụ, ụfọdụ ka a ga-adọta nʼagha, ụfọdụ kwa ka a ga-apụnara ihe ha nwere.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall join themselves unto them with flatteries.
Mgbe ha ga-ada, inyeaka ntakịrị ga-abịara ha, ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ga-ejikwa ụzọ aghụghọ bịa dịnyere ha.
35 And some of them that be wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for the time appointed.
Nʼoge ahụ, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị maara ihe ga-asọ ngọngọ, ka ha nwe ike bụrụ ndị a nụchara anụcha, na ndị a sachapụrụ ọcha na ndị emere ka ha dị ọcha na-enweghị ntụpọ tutu ruo nʼọgwụgwụ ihe ndị a, nʼihi nʼoge ahụ ga-abịa mgbe akara aka.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods: and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.
“Eze ahụ ga-eme ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ. Ọ ga-agụkwa onwe ya dịka onye dị ukwuu karịa chi niile. Nʼezie, ọ ga-ekwu okwu nkwulu megide Chineke kachasị chi niile. Ma ihe ga-agakwara ya nke ọma tutu mgbe oge ya zuru. Nʼihi na ihe niile ekwuru ga-emezucha.
37 Neither shall he regard the gods his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Ọ gaghị akpọ chi nke nna ha maọbụ nke ahụ ụmụ nwanyị na-achọsi ike ihe ọbụla, o nweghị chi ọbụla ọ ga-akpọ ihe nʼihi na ọ ga-ebuli onwe ya elu karịa ha niile.
38 But in his place shall he honour the god of fortresses: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Kama chi nke ọ ga-asọpụrụ bụ chi nke ebe e wusiri ike, chi nke nna ya ha na-amaghị. Ọ ga-eji ọlaedo na ọlaọcha, na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa na onyinye dara oke ọnụahịa fee chi a.
39 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a strange god; whosoever acknowledgeth [him] he will increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
Ọ ga-emegide ebe niile e wusiri ike, nke siri ike site nʼinyeaka chi nke mba ọzọ. Ndị niile nabatara ya ka ọ ga-eme ka nsọpụrụ bara ụba. Ọ ga-eme ha ndị ọchịchị ọtụtụ mmadụ, kenyekwa ha ala dịka ụgwọ ọrụ ha.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through.
“Ma nʼoge ikpeazụ, eze ndịda ga-ebuso ya agha, ma eze nke ugwu ga-eji iwe chịkọta ndị agha na-agba ụgbọ agha, ndị na-agba ịnyịnya na ndị agha ji ụgbọ mmiri megide ya. Ọ ga-ebuso ọtụtụ mba agha, kpochapụ ha dịka idee mmiri si ekpochapụ ihe.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown: but these shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Ọ ga-abata na Ala Ọma ahụ, gbukwaa iri puku mmadụ kwuru iri puku mmadụ, ma obodo Edọm, obodo Moab na ndị ndu nke Amọn ga-agbapụ site nʼike ya.
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Ọ ga-aga ibuso ọtụtụ obodo agha, Ijipt agaghị agbanarị ya.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
Ọ ga-enwe ikike nʼebe akụ nke ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na ụba niile nke ala Ijipt. Ndị Libịa na ndị Kush ga-edokwa onwe ha nʼokpuru ya.
44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many.
Ma nʼoge a kwa, ozi ga-esi nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na nʼugwu bịa, nke ga-emenye ya egwu. Nʼihi ya, ọ ga-eji oke iwe pụọ ibibi ọtụtụ ndị ma laakwa ha nʼiyi.
45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Ọ ga-akwụba ụlọeze ya nʼetiti ugwu ọma ahụ dị nsọ na nʼoke osimiri, nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a niile, ọ ga-abịaru ọgwụgwụ ya, ọ dịghịkwa onye ga-enyere ya aka.
