< Daniel 11 >

1 “Iti umuna a tawen ti panagturay ni Darius a taga-Media, immayak a mismo tapno tulongak ken salaknibak ni Miguel.
“As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
2 Ket ita, adda iti ipaltiingko a kinapudno kenka. Addanto ti tallo nga ari a tumaud iti Persia, ket nabakbaknangto nga amang ti maikapat ngem kadakuada amin. Inton bimmileg isuna babaen kadagiti kinabaknangna, allukoyennanto ti amin a bumusor iti pagarian ti Grecia.
“Now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings will stand up in Persia. The fourth will be far richer than all of them. When he has grown strong through his riches, he will stir up all against the realm of Greece.
3 Tumaudto ti maysa a nabileg nga ari a mangituray iti dakkel unay a pagarian, ket aramidennanto ti amin a kayatna.
A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
4 Inton bumileg isuna, marpuog ken mabingayto ti pagarianna kadagiti uppat nga angin ti langit. Nupay kasta, saanto a maited daytoy kadagiti bukodna a kaputotan, ken saanto a kas iti daytoy ti kabilegna idi iturturayanna daytoy. Ta maparutto ti pagarianna ket maited kadagiti sabali a saanna a bukod a kaputotan.
When he stands up, his kingdom will be broken and will be divided toward the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be plucked up, even for others besides these.
5 Agbalinto a nabileg ti ari ti Abagatan, ngem agbalinto a nabilbileg ngem isuna ti maysa kadagiti pangulo ti armadana ket iturayannanto ti dakdakkel a pagarian.
“The king of the south will be strong. One of his princes will become stronger than him, and have dominion. His dominion will be a great dominion.
6 Kalpasan ti sumagmamano a tawen, inton dumteng ti umno a tiempo, agtulagdanto nga agkaddua. Mapanto ti babai a putot ti ari ti Abagatan iti ari ti Amianan tapno mapasingkedan ti nagtutulaganda. Ngem mapukawnanto ti pannakabalinna, ket mabaybay-anto isuna - isuna ken dagiti nangipan kenkuana sadiay, ti amana, ken ti nangtulong kenkuana kadagidiay a tiempo.
At the end of years they will join themselves 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 retain the strength of her arm. He will also not stand, nor will his arm; but she will be given up, with those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened her in those times.
7 Ngem addanto iti maysa a sanga a tumaud manipud kadagiti ramutna a sumukat kenkuana. Rautennanto ti armada ket serrekenna ti sarikedked ti ari ti Amianan. Makirangetto isuna kadakuada, ket maparmeknanto ida.
“But out of a shoot from her roots one will stand up in his place, who will come to the army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and will deal against them and will prevail.
8 Ipanawnanto dagiti didiosenda agraman dagiti kinitikitan a ladawan dagiti didiosen ken dagiti alikamenda a naaramid manipud iti pirak ken iti balitok ket ipanna idiay Egipto, ket isardengnanto pay laeng ti panangrarautna iti ari ti Amianan iti sumagmamano a tawen.
He will also carry their gods with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, captive into Egypt. He will refrain some years from the king of the north.
9 Rautento ti ari ti Amianan ti pagarian ti ari ti Abagatan, ngem agsanudto isuna iti mismo a dagana.
He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will return into his own land.
10 Agsagananto a makigubat dagiti putotna a lallaki ken mangbuangayda iti dakkel nga armada, nga agtultuloyto nga umay ken agluppiasto a kasla layus, lumabas, ken agsubli manen a rumaut nga agturong iti sarikedkedna.
His sons will wage war, and will assemble a multitude of great forces which will come on, and overflow, and pass through. They will return and wage war, even to his fortress.
11 Sipupungtotto a rumaut ti ari ti Abagatan ket makirangetto a maibusor iti ari ti Amianan. Mangbuangayto ti ari ti Amianan iti dakkel nga armada, ngem maiyawatto daytoy iti ima ti ari ti Abagatan.
“The king of the south will be moved with anger and will come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north. He will send out a great multitude, and the multitude will be given into his hand.
12 Inton makayawan ti armada, agbalinto a napalangguad unay ti ari ti Abagatan, ket mapapatayto dagiti rinibribu kadagiti kabusorna. Ngem saanto nga agballigi isuna.
The multitude will be carried off, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he won’t prevail.
13 Mangbuangayto ti ari ti Amianan iti sabali nga armada, a dakdakkel ngem ti immuna. Kalpasan iti sumagmamano a tawen, awan duadua a rumautto manen ti ari ti Amianan agraman ti dakkel nga armada nga addaan kadagiti adu nga armas.
The king of the north will return, and will send out a multitude greater than the former. He will come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with abundant supplies.
14 Kadagidiay a tiempo, adunto ti tumaud a bumusor iti ari ti Abagatan. Bumusorto dagiti kararanggasan kadagiti tattaom tapno matungpal ti sirmata, ngem maparmek ken mapapataydanto.
“In those times many will stand up against the king of the south. Also the children of the violent among your people will lift themselves up to establish the vision, but they will fall.
15 Umayto ti ari ti Amianan ket mangigabsuonto iti daga ket sakupenda ti nasarikedkedan a siudad. Saanto a kabaelan dagiti puersa ti Abagatan ti makiranget; uray dagiti kalalaingan a soldadoda ket awanto ti pigsada a makiranget.
So the king of the north will come and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. The forces of the south won’t stand, neither will his select troops, neither will there be any strength to stand.
16 Ngem aramidento ti ari ti Amianan ti aniaman a kayatna a maibusor iti ari ti Abagatan, ket awanto ti makalapped kenkuana; isaadnanto ti mismo a bagina iti napintas a daga nga addaan iti naan-anay a panangdadael iti imana.
But he who comes against him will do according to his own will, and no one will stand before him. He will stand in the glorious land, and destruction will be in his hand.
17 Mangeddengto ti ari ti Amianan a mapan a kakuyogna ti puersa ti entero a pagarianna, ket makitulagto a makikaddua iti ari ti Abagatan. Itednanto iti ari ti Abagatan ti putotna a babai a kas asawa tapno dadaelenna ti pagarian ti Abagatan. Ngem saanto nga agballigi ti panggepna wenno makatulong kenkuana.
He will set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions. He will perform them. He will give him the daughter of women, to destroy the kingdom, but she will not stand, and won’t be for him.
18 Kalpasan daytoy, rautento ti ari ti Amianan dagiti adda kadagiti igid ti baybay ken adunto ti tiliwenna kadakuada. Ngem maysa a pangulo ti armada ti manggibusto ti kinatangsitna ket ipalak-amnanto iti ari ti bukodna a kinatangsit.
After this he will turn his face to the islands, and will take many, but a prince will cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yes, moreover, he will cause his reproach to turn on him.
19 Kalpasanna, agsublinto isuna kadagiti sarikedked ti mismo a dagana, ngem maparmek ken mapapatayto isuna; saanto a masarakan isuna.
Then he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and won’t be found.
20 Ket addanto iti maysa a tumaud a kasukatna a mangipilitto nga agsingir iti buis tapno maipaay para iti kinadayag ti pagarian. Ngem iti sumagmamano laeng nga aldaw, madadaelto isuna, ngem saan a gapu iti unget wenno iti gubatan.
“Then one who will cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory will stand up in his place; but within few days he shall be destroyed, not in anger, and not in battle.
21 Addanto iti sumukat kenkuana a maysa a kagurgura ti tao ken saan a mararaem a kas ari; maisaadto isuna nga awan iti makaamo ket iturayannanto ti pagarian babaen iti kinasikap.
“In his place a contemptible person will stand up, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom; but he will come in time of security, and will obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 Dakkel nga armada ti kasla iyanudto ti layus iti sangoananna. Agpadanto a madadael dayta nga armada ken ti mangidadaulo a napasingkedan babaen iti tulag.
The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.
23 Manipud iti tiempo a pannakitulag a makikadua kenkuana, agtignayto isuna a siaallilaw; agbalinto isuna a nabileg babaen laeng iti bassit a bilang dagiti tattao.
After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.
24 Rautennanto ti kababaknangan a paset iti probinsia a saan a mapakpakadaan, ket aramidennanto ti saan nga inaramid ti amana wenno dagiti kapuonanna - a pagbibingayanda kadagiti pasurotna ti samsam, ti tinakaw, ken ti kinabaknang. Panggepennanto ti panangrebba kadagiti sarikedked, ngem iti mabiit laeng a tiempo.
In time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter among them prey, plunder, and wealth. Yes, he will devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.
25 Tignayennanto ti pannakabalinna ken ti kinaturedna nga addaan iti dakkel nga armada a bumusor iti ari ti Abagatan. Makigubatto ti ari ti Abagatan nga addaan iti nabileg nga armada, ngem saanto nga agballigi isuna gapu kadagiti amin a dakes a panangsikap a maibusor kenkuana.
“He will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will wage war in battle with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he won’t stand; for they will devise plans against him.
26 Uray dagiti makisangsango iti panganan ti ari ket kayatdanto a dadaelen isuna. Kasla iyanudto iti layus ti armadana, ket adunto ti mapapatay kadakuada.
Yes, those who eat of his delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down slain.
27 Agpada dagitoy nga ar-ari, nga addaan iti dakes a gandat kadagiti pusoda a maibusor iti tumunggal maysa, agsangondanto iti maymaysa a lamisaan ket aginnulbodda, ngem saanda a magun-od ti tarigagayda. Ta umay pay laeng ti panungpalan iti naituding a tiempo.
As for both these kings, their hearts will be to do evil, and they will speak lies at one table; but it won’t prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time.
28 Ket agsublinto ti ari ti Amianan iti dagana nga addaan iti adu a kinabaknang, ngem bumusor ti pusona iti nasantoan a tulag. Aramidennanto ti kaykayatna, ket agsublinto isuna iti bukodna a daga.
Then he will return into his land with great wealth. His heart will be against the holy covenant. He will take action, and return to his own land.
29 Iti naituding a tiempo, agsublinto isuna a mangsakop manen iti Abagatan. Ngem iti dayta a gundaway, saanto a kasla idi damo.
“He will return at the appointed time and come into the south; but it won’t be in the latter time as it was in the former.
30 Ta sumabatto dagiti barko ti Kittim a maibusor kenkuana, ket maupayto isuna ken agsanudto. Makaungetto unay isuna a maibusor iti nasantoan a tulag, ket paborannanto dagiti mangtallikud iti nasantoan a tulag.
For ships of Kittim will come against him. Therefore he will be grieved, and will return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and will take action. He will even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 Umayto ti armadana ket tulawanda ti santuario ken ti sarikedked; ikkatendanto ti kadawyan a daton a mapuoran, ket isaaddanto ti makarimon a pakaigapuan iti naan-anay a pannakadadael.
“Forces from him will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and will take away the continual burnt offering. Then they will set up the abomination that makes desolate.
32 Allukoyennanto a sumurot kenkuana dagiti naglabsing iti tulag babaen iti panangallilaw kadakuada, ngem dagiti tattao a makaam-ammo iti Diosda ket natibker ken sumupiatdanto kadakuada.
He will corrupt those who do wickedly against the covenant by flatteries; but the people who know their God will be strong and take action.
33 Dagiti masisirib kadagiti tattao ket suroandanto dagiti adu a tattao. Ngem iti sumagmamano nga aldaw, mapasagdanto babaen iti kampilan ken iti apuy, maibaludda ken matakawto dagiti sanikuada.
“Those who are wise among the people will instruct many; yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, many days.
34 Inton maparparigatda, makaawatdanto iti bassit a tulong, ket adunto ti makitipon kadakuada ngem saanda nga ar-aramiden ti ibagbagada.
Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.
35 Maparigatto dagiti dadduma a masirib tapno madalusan, maguguran ken mapasin-awda agingga iti panungpalan. Ta umay pay laeng ti naituding a tiempo.
Some of those who are wise will 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.
36 Aramidento ti ari ti aniaman a kayatna. Ingato ken itantan-oknanto ti bagina kadagiti amin a didios, ket agsaonto isuna iti nakaskasdaaw a banbanag a maibusor iti Dios dagiti dios. Agballiginto isuna agingga a ti pungtot ket naan-anay. Ta no ania ti naikeddengen ket isu ti maaramid.
“The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished, for that which is determined will be done.
37 Saannanto a bigbigen dagiti dios dagiti kapuonanna, ti dios a tinarigagayan dagiti babbai, wenno uray aniaman a dios. Agpannakel ken ibagananto a natantan-ok isuna ngem kadakuada amin.
He won’t regard the gods of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god; for he will magnify himself above all.
38 Imbes koma a dagitoy, padayawannanto ketdi ti dios dagiti sarikedked. Padayawannanto ti dios a saan nga am-ammo dagiti kapuonanna babaen iti balitok ken pirak, babaen kadagiti agkakapateg a batbato ken agkakangina a sagsagut.
But in their place, he will honor the god of fortresses. He will honor a god whom his fathers didn’t know with gold, silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.
39 Rautennanto dagiti katitibkeran a sarikedked babaen iti tulong dagiti tattao nga agdaydayaw iti ganggannaet a dios. Padayawannanto dagiti siasinoman a mangbigbig kenkuana. Pagbalinennanto ida a mangituray kadagiti adu a tattao ket bingayennanto ti daga a kas pannakagunggonada.
He will deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. He will increase with glory whoever acknowledges him. He will cause them to rule over many, and will divide the land for a price.
40 Iti tiempo iti panungpalan, rumautto ti ari ti Abagatan. Ti ari ti Amianan ket agdardarasto a rumaut kenkuana a kasla bagyo nga addaan kadagiti karuahe ken kumakabalio, ken babaen kadagiti adu a barko. Sakupennanto dagiti adu a pagilian ken lumabasto kadakuada a kasla layus.
“At the time of the end the king of the south will contend with him; and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships. He will enter into the countries, and will overflow and pass through.
41 Rautennanto ti nadayag a daga, ket mapasagto ken mapapatayto dagiti rinibribu nga Israelita, ngem adunto ti makalibas a taga-Edom ken taga-Moab, ken dagiti nabatbati a tattao iti Ammon manipud iti imana.
He will enter also into the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown; but these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 Dumanunto ti pannakabalinna kadagiti adu a pagilian; uray ti daga ti Egipto ket saanto a makalisi.
He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t escape.
43 Maaddaanto isuna iti karbengan kadagiti nailemmeng a gameng a balitok ken pirak, ken kadagiti amin a kinabaknang ti Egipto; agserbinto kenkuana dagiti taga-Libya ken dagiti taga-Etiopia.
But he will have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt. The Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow his steps.
44 Ngem riribukento isuna dagiti damdamag nga aggapu iti daya ken iti amianan, ket kastanto unay ti pungtotna a rumaut a kadwana ti armadana tapno dadaelen ken mangpapatay iti adu a tattao.
But news out of the east and out of the north will trouble him; and he will go out with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many.
45 Bangonennanto dagiti toldana a kas ari iti nagbaetan dagiti baybay, iti napintas a nasantoan a bantay. Ngem matayto isuna, ket awanto ti uray maysa a tumulong kenkuana.”
He will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
