Daniel 11

1 El pa kasreyu ac loangeyu.

“As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

2 Ac ma nga ac fahk nu sum inge ma na pwaye.” Na lipufan sac fahk, “Ac fah oasr tokosra tolu su ac fah leumi acn Persia, na toko ac oasr pac tokosra se akakosr, su ac fah kasrup liki tokosra meet ah kewa. In pacl se na ma yohk ku ac kasrup lal uh, na el ac fah lain tokosrai lun Greece.

“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 “Toko, na tokosra na pwengpeng se ac fah sikyak. El ac fah leumi tokosrai na lulap se, ac oru na ma el ac lungse oru uh.

A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

4 Tusruktu pacl se na ma tokosrai lal uh ac kui na pwaye uh, na ac musalelik ac kitakatelik nu ke ip akosr. Mwet in sou lal ac fah tia eis wal lal, a mwet saya ac fah aolul in leum, tusruktu elos ac tiana ku oana ke pacl ma el tuh tokosra uh.

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 “Tokosra lun Egypt el ac arulana ku. Tusruktu siena sin mwet mweun fulat lal ac mau yohk ku la lukel, ac leumi sie tokosrai yohk liki na tokosrai lal uh.

“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 In kutu yac toko, tokosra lun Egypt el ac fah orala sie akupasri nu sin tokosra lun Syria, ac sang acn se natul in payuk sel. Tusruktu, asruoki se inge ac tia oan paht, mweyen mutan sac, mukul tumal, tulik se natul, ac mutan kulansap ma welul som uh, nufon ac fah anwuki.

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 Ac tia paht tukun ma inge, na sie sin mukul in sou lun mutan sac ac fah tokosrala. El ac fah tuyak mweuni un mwet mweun lun tokosra lun Syria, utyak nu in pot ku lalos, ac kutangulosla.

“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 El ac fah eis ma sruloala in luman god lalos, ac ma saya su orekla ke gold ac silver ma kisakinyukla nu sin god inge, ac folokunla nu Egypt. Tukun kutu yac ma oasr misla inmasrlolos,

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 tokosra lun Syria el ac sifil utyak nu fin acn Egypt, tusruktu ac folokinyukla el liki acn we.

He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will return into his own land.

10 “Wen nutin tokosra lun acn Syria elos ac fah akoo elos in mweun, ac orani sie un mwet mweun na lulap. Sie selos ac fah pokla ma fin acn uh nufon oana sronot se, ac mweuni nien muta ku lun mwet lokoalok su ma kuhlusyukyak ke pot na ku.

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 In kasrkusrak lal, tokosra lun Egypt el ac tuyak mweuni tokosra lun Syria, ac sruokya un mwet mweun na lulap se lal ah.

“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 El ac mau insefulatak ke kutangla lal, ac ke mwet mweun pus ma el uniya uh, tusruktu ac tia sifilpa oasr kutangla lal tok.

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 “Tokosra lun Syria el ac folokla ac sifilpa orani sie un mwet mweun lal su ac yohk liki ma meet ah. Na ke kutu yac tok, el ac foloko wi sie un mwet mweun na lulap ac kufwen mwe mweun puspis.

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 Na mwet puspis ac fah tukeni lain tokosra lun Egypt. Ac kutu mwet ma lungse orek lokoalok in facl sum, Daniel, ac fah wi tuyak lain tokosra lun Egypt ke sripen sie aruruma ma elos liye, tusruktu ac fah kutangyukla elos.

“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 Ouinge tokosra Syria el ac fah kuhlasla sie siti su arulana akkeyeyukla, ac sruokya. Mwet mweun lun Egypt elos ac fah tia sifil mweun — finne elos su wo emeet ke mweun, ac fah wanginla pac ku lalos.

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 Mwet Syria se ma utyak ac eisla acn inge uh ac oru na ma el lungse oru nu selos, ac wanginna lainyal. El ac fah tu in Fulan Wuleang ac leumi nufon acn we.

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 “Tokosra lun Syria el ac akoo elan oru fahsr se lal nu in acn inge, ac el ac us nufon mwet mweun lal welul. Na ke sripen el kena kunausla tokosrai lun mwet lokoalok lal, el ac fah oru sie pwapa in akasrui inmasrloltal, ac sang acn natul in payuk nusel. Tusruktu ma el ako in oru inge ac tiana fahla oana ma el nunku.

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 Tukun ma inge, el ac fah mweuni facl ma muta sisken meoa uh, ac kutangla acn pus selos. Tusruktu, sie mwet kol sac ac fah kutangulla, ac tulokinya orek funmwet lal. Aok, el ac folokonang ouiya koluk lun tokosra Syria nu facl sifacna.

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 Na tokosra sac el ac fah folokla nu nien muta ku lun mwet mweun in acn sel sifacna, tusruktu ac kutangyukla pac el, na ac pa ingan saflaiyal.

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 “Na sie pacna tokosra ac fah aolul, su ac fah supwala sie mwet leum lal in akkeokye mwet inge ke el akyokye tax lalos in akkasrupye tokosrai lal. Ac ke pacl na fototo, tokosra sac ac fah anwuki, tusruktu tia ye mutun mwet uh, ac tia pac ke mweun.”

“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 Lipufan sac sifilpa fahk, “Tokosra se lun acn Syria tok uh ac mwet na koluk se su wangin suwohs la elan tokosrala, tusruktu el ac mahsrikyak na sruokya wal uh ke inkanek kutasrik lal.

“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 Kutena mwet ma lainul uh, finne mwet Tol Fulat lun God uh, ac fah pokyukla ac sisila elos.

The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.

23 Ke inkanek kikiap lal, el ac orek wuleang nu sin mutunfacl saya, na ku lal uh ac yokyokelik, finne kitin facl na srisrik pa el leumi.

After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.

24 El ac utyak na eisla ipin acn na kasrup in lukma, ac oru kais kutu ouiya ma mwet matu in sou lal uh tia wi oru meet. Na el ac kitalik acn, ac kutena ma elos sruokya ke mweun uh, nu sin mwet ma welul uh. El ac oru akoo lal in sruokya kutu nien muta ku ma potyak, tusruktu pacl lal uh ac sa na in safla.

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 “El ac fah tuyak na orani sie un mwet mweun na lulap in mweuni tokosra lun Egypt, su ac akola pacna in mweun lainul ke sie pacna un mwet mweun na lulap ac fokoko. Tusruktu tokosra lun Egypt ac fah kiapweyukla, ac tiana orala ma el akoo in oru uh.

“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 Mwet pwapa fulat ma el lulalfongi emeet sin mwet lal uh ac kunausulla. Pus sin mwet mweun lal ac fah anwuki, ac un mwet mweun lal uh ac fah sikiyukla.

Yes, those who eat of his delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down slain.

27 Na tokosra luo inge ac fah tukeni muta mongo ke tepu sefanna, tusruktu ma eltal akoo uh ma na koluk, ac eltal ac tukenina kiapu sie sin sie. Eltal ac tiana eis ma eltal lungse uh, mweyen soenna sun pacl lun ma inge.

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 Tokosra lun Syria el ac us ma wap nukewa ma el sruokya ke mweun ac folokla nu yen sel, ac el wotela sel mu el ac kunausla alu lun mwet lun God uh. Tusruktu el ac oru oana ma el lungse nwe tari, na el fah folokla nu in acn sel.

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 “Ac tok, el ac fah sifilpa utyak ac mweuni acn Egypt, tusruktu ma ac sikyak ke fwil se inge ac tia oana fahsr se meet ah.

“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 Mwet Rome ac fah tuku ke oak meoa ac lainul, ac el ac fah arulana sangengla. “Na in kasrkusrak lal, el ac fah folokla ac srike in kunausla alu lun mwet lun God uh. El ac porongo ac oru oana kas in kasru ma mwet tila wi alu inge fahk nu sel uh.

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 Kutu sin mwet mweun lal ac arulana akfohkfokyela Tempul uh. Elos ac tulokinya kisa ma orek ke len nukewa uh, ac tulokunak Mwe Aksangeng na Upa sac.

“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 Ke inkanek kutasrik lal, tokosra el ac eisla insien mwet ma srola liki alu lalos uh, ac elos fah akkeyal, tusruktu elos su srakna fahsr tukun God elos ac tu na ku ac lainul.

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 Mwet kol ma lalmwetmet inmasrlon mwet uh ac fah sang etauk lalos in kasru mwet puspis. Tusruktu ke pacl na fototo, kutu selos ac fah misa ke mweun, ac kutu ac fah isisyak, ac kutu ac fah pusrla ma lalos, ac utukla elos nu in presin.

“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 Ke pacl ma anwuk inge orek uh, ac fah oasr kitin kasru nu sin mwet lun God, finne kutu mwet uh welulosla ke na sripen elos suk ma in wo nu selos sifacna.

Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.

35 Kutu sin mwet kol ma lalmwetmet ac fah anwuki, ac ke sripen misa lalos, mwet uh ac fah aknasnasyeyukla. Ac fah oana inge nwe ke safla pacl uh, pacl se ma God El oakiya.

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 “Tokosra lun Syria el ac oru na ma el lungse oru. El ac konkin ac fahk mu el fulat liki kutena god, ac fulat liki pac God Fulatlana. El ac ku in oru ouinge nwe ke na sun pacl se ma God El akola in sang kai nu sel. God El ac oru oana ma El ako mu El ac oru.

“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 Tokosra el ac fah pilesru god su mwet matu lal elos tuh kulansap nu se, ac oayapa god se su mutan elos lungse. Aok, el ac pilesru god nukewa, mweyen el pangon el fulat lukelos nukewa.

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 A el ac akfulatye na god se ma karingin nien muta lun mwet mweun ma potiyukyak uh, ac sang mwe sang ke gold, silver, wek saok, ac kutu pac mwe lung wowo nu sin god ma mwet matu lal elos tia wi alu nu se uh.

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 El ac orekmakin mwet su alu nu sin sie god lun mwetsac in loango inkul potyak lun mwet mweun lal uh. El ac arulana akfulatye mwet ma akilen mu el mwet kol lalos, ac sang nien muta fulat nu selos, oayapa kitalos acn, in mwe srui nu selos.

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 “Ke apkuran in sun ao safla lun tokosra lun Syria, tokosra lun Egypt el ac tuyak mweunel, ac tokosra Syria el ac lainul pac ke kuiyal nufon. El ac orekmakin chariot, horse, ac oak meoa pukanten. El ac utyak oana kof ke sie sronot, ac eisla mutunfacl puspis.

“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 El ac fah utyak pac mweuni Fulan Wuleang, ac uniya ngoul tausin mwet, tusruk acn Edom, acn Moab, ac acn lula lun Ammon ac fah painmoulla.

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 Ke el ac utyak mweuni acn inge nukewa, acn Egypt ac fah sruhu pac.

He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t escape.

43 El ac fah usla pac gold, silver, ac ma saok saya nukewa ma wikinyukla oan in acn Egypt. El ac fah kutangla pac acn Libya ac Ethiopia.

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 Na pweng ma ac tuku liki acn kutulap ac eir uh ac fah aksangengyal, ac el ac mweun arulana upa, ac uniya mwet na pukanten.

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 El ac fah tulokunak pac lohm nuknuk na lulap lal inmasrlon meoa ac eol soko ma Tempul uh oan we. Tusruktu el ac misa, ac wangin mwet ac muta yorol in kasrel.”

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.
