Daniel 11
1 And I myself, in the first year of Darius the Mede, took my stand to support and defend him.
Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní Dariusi ará Media, mo dúró láti tì í lẹ́yìn àti láti dáàbò bò ó.)
2 So now let me reveal the truth to you. There are still three kings to come to power in Persia, and then a fourth who will be far richer than all the others. When he becomes strong through his wealth, he will rally the whole kingdom against Greece.
“Ní ìsinsin yìí, mo sọ òtítọ́ fún ọ ọba mẹ́ta yóò dìde sí i ní Persia, àti ẹ̀kẹrin tí yóò jẹ́ ọlọ́rọ̀ ju gbogbo wọn lọ. Tí ó bá ti di alágbára nípa ọrọ̀ rẹ̀, yóò sì ru gbogbo wọn sókè lòdì sí ìjọba Giriki.
3 Then a mighty king will come to power. He will rule with great authority and do whatever he wants.
Nígbà náà ni ọba alágbára kan yóò fi ara hàn, yóò ṣe àkóso pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá, yóò sì ṣe bí ó ti wù ú.
4 But as he extends his power his kingdom will be broken up, divided towards the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, and it will not be ruled as he ruled. It will be pulled up and given to others.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó bá fi ara hàn tán, ìjọba rẹ̀ yóò fọ́, yóò sì pín sí mẹ́rin ní orígun mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin ayé, ìjọba náà kò sì ṣọ́wọ́ àwọn ìran rẹ̀ tàbí kí ó ní agbára tí ó ń lò tẹ́lẹ̀, nítorí, a ó fa ìjọba rẹ̀ tu a ó sì fi fún àwọn mìíràn.
5 The king of the south will grow strong, but one of his officers will grow even stronger and will rule his kingdom with great authority.
“Ọba ìhà gúúsù yóò di alágbára ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀kan lára àwọn aláṣẹ rẹ̀ yóò di alágbára jù ú lọ, yóò sì ṣe àkóso ìjọba rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá.
6 Some years later they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south will be married to the king of the north to guarantee the peace treaty. However, she will not be able to keep her hold on power, nor will his power continue. She and her attendants will be betrayed, along with her child and husband. Later on, however,
Lẹ́yìn ọdún púpọ̀ wọn yóò dá májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà, ọmọbìnrin ọba gúúsù yóò lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba àríwá láti bá a dá májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà, ṣùgbọ́n òun kì yóò lè di agbára apá a rẹ̀ mú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òun kì yóò lè dádúró, ṣùgbọ́n a ó tẹrí i rẹ̀ ba àti àwọn tí ó mú un wá, àti ọmọ tí ó bí, àti ẹni tí ó ń mu lọ́kàn le ní gbogbo àkókò wọ̀nyí.
7 a new king of the south from her family will take over. He will come to attack the army of the king of the north and enter his fortress. He will fight against them and will win.
“Ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìdílé e rẹ̀, ọmọbìnrin ọba gúúsù yóò dìde láti gba ipò o rẹ̀. Yóò sì kọlu ogun ọba àríwá, yóò sì wó odi alágbára; yóò bá wọn jà yóò sì borí.
8 In addition he will take back with him to Egypt the idols of their gods, along with their expensive vessels of silver and gold. For some years he will leave the king of the north alone.
Yóò gba òrìṣà wọn, ère dídá àti ohun èlò oníye lórí ti fàdákà àti ti wúrà, yóò sì kó wọn lọ sí Ejibiti. Fún ọdún díẹ̀ yóò fi ọba àríwá lọ́rùn sílẹ̀.
9 Then the king of the north will march into the kingdom of the king of the south but will have to retreat to his own land.
Nígbà náà, ni ọba àríwá yóò gbógun ti ilẹ̀ ọba, gúúsù, ṣùgbọ́n yóò padà sí Orílẹ̀-èdè, òun fúnra rẹ̀.
10 However, his sons will prepare for war, assembling a huge number of troops. One of them will lead an advance that rushes forward like a river bursting its banks, crossing over and pressing forward to attack the enemy fortress.
Àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò múra ogun wọn yóò kó ogun ńlá jọ, èyí tí a ó gbá lọ bí àgbàrá omi ńlá, yóò sì gbá a lọ títí dé ìlú olódi rẹ̀.
11 This will infuriate the king of the south, who will go out into battle against the large army assembled by the king of the north and will defeat it.
“Nígbà náà ni ọba gúúsù yóò jáde pẹ̀lú ìbínú, yóò sì bá ọba àríwá jà, ẹni tí yóò kó ọmọ-ogun púpọ̀ jọ, ṣùgbọ́n ọba gúúsù yóò borí i wọn.
12 After capturing such a large army, he will become very proud, and will kill thousands. But this triumph will not last long.
Nígbà tí a bá kó ogun náà lọ, ọba gúúsù yóò kún fún agbára, yóò sì pa ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún ní ìpakúpa síbẹ̀ kì yóò ṣẹ́gun.
13 Years later the king of the north will once again raise an army, even larger than before, and will invade with this huge army, accompanied by plenty of supplies.
Nítorí ọba àríwá yóò lọ kó ogun mìíràn jọ, tí ó pọ̀ ju ti àkọ́kọ́ lẹ́yìn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọdún, yóò jáde pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ogun tí ó ti dira ogun fún dáradára.
14 At the same time many will rebel against the king of the south. Violent men from your own people will rebel in order to fulfill this vision, but they shall fail.
“Ní àkókò ìgbà náà, ni ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ yóò dìde sí ọba gúúsù. Àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ nínú àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀ yóò ṣọ̀tẹ̀ ní ìmúṣẹ ìran náà, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì yóò borí.
15 Then the king of the north will come and build siege ramps and he will capture a city with strong defenses. The forces of the south will not be able to prevent it—even his best troops won't be able to resist the attack.
Nígbà náà ni ọba àríwá yóò wá yóò sì gbé ogun tì í, yóò sì kó ìlú olódi. Ogun ọba gúúsù kò ní ní agbára láti kọjú ìjà sí i; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun tó dára jù kò ní ní agbára láti dúró.
16 The invader will do whatever he wants; no one will be able to oppose him. He will stand in the Beautiful Land with the power to destroy it.
Ẹni tí ó gbóguntì í yóò máa ṣe bí ó ti wù ú, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò le è dojúkọ ọ́. Yóò sì fún ara rẹ̀ ní ibùjókòó ní ilẹ̀ tí ó dára, yóò sì ní agbára láti bà á jẹ́.
17 He will be determined to come with all the power of his kingdom and will make a peace treaty with the king of the south. To secure this he will give him a daughter of women to marry in order to destroy the kingdom. But she will not be successful and will not support him.
Yóò pinnu láti wá pẹ̀lú agbára ìjọba rẹ̀, yóò sì ní májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú ọba gúúsù yóò sì fi ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ fún un láti fẹ́ ẹ ní ìyàwó nítorí kí ó lè gba ìjọba, ṣùgbọ́n ète rẹ̀ yìí kì yóò dúró tàbí ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún un.
18 Then he will turn to attack the coastlands and will conquer many, but a commander will put a stop to his arrogant behavior, paying him back for it.
Nígbà náà ni yóò yí ara padà sí ilẹ̀ etí Òkun, yóò mú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n aláṣẹ kan yóò mú òpin bá àfojúdi rẹ̀, yóò sì yí àfojúdi rẹ̀ padà sí orí rẹ̀.
19 He will return to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall, and will be gone.
Lẹ́yìn èyí, yóò sì yí padà sí ìlú olódi ti orílẹ̀-èdè òun fúnra rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n yóò kọsẹ̀ yóò sì ṣubú, a kì yóò sì rí i mọ́.
20 His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain royal wealth. However, in a short time he will die, but not violently or in battle.
“Arọ́pò rẹ̀ yóò rán agbowó orí kan jáde láti fi ìdí ipò ọlá ọba múlẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ní ìwọ̀n ọdún díẹ̀, a ó pa á run, kì yóò jẹ́ nípa ìbínú tàbí nínú ogun.
21 A contemptible person will follow him who will not be given royal majesty. He will take over peacably and assume control of the kingdom through deception.
“Ẹni tí kò níláárí kan yóò rọ́pò rẹ̀, ẹni tí a kò tí ì fi ọlá ọba fún rí. Yóò sì gbógun sí ìjọba nígbà tí ọkàn àwọn ènìyàn balẹ̀ láìbẹ̀rù, yóò sì gbà á pẹ̀lú àrékérekè.
22 Great armies will be swept away before him. They will be broken, as well as the prince of the agreement.
Nígbà náà, ni a ó gbà ogunlọ́gọ̀ ogun kúrò níwájú u rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú òun àti ọmọ-aládé ti májẹ̀mú náà ni a ó parun.
23 After making an alliance with him, he will act deceptively. He will come to power peacably, becoming strong though only having a few supporters.
Lẹ́yìn tí ó wá ṣe ìpinnu pẹ̀lú u rẹ̀, yóò hùwà ẹ̀tàn, pẹ̀lú ìwọ̀nba ènìyàn kékeré ni yóò gba ìjọba.
24 He will invade the richest parts of the land and do what his fathers and forefathers never did—he will distribute plunder, spoil, and possessions. He will make plans to attack fortresses, but only for a time.
Nígbà tí àwọn agbègbè tí ó lọ́rọ̀ gidigidi wà láìbẹ̀rù ni yóò gbóguntì wọ́n, yóò ṣe ohun tí baba rẹ̀ tàbí baba ńlá rẹ̀ kò ṣe rí, yóò pín ìkógun ẹrù àti ọrọ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ lẹ́yìn in rẹ̀. Yóò pète àti bi àwọn ìlú olódi ṣubú, ṣùgbọ́n fún ìgbà díẹ̀ ni.
25 Then he will draw on his strength and courage to gather a large army against the king of the south. The king of the south will prepare for war. Fighting back with a large and powerful army, but he will not be successful because of plots made against him.
“Pẹ̀lú ogun púpọ̀, yóò sì ru agbára rẹ̀ àti ìgboyà rẹ̀ sókè sí ọba gúúsù. Ọba gúúsù yóò dìde ogun pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọmọ-ogun tí ó lágbára gidigidi, ṣùgbọ́n kò ní le è dúró, nítorí ọ̀tẹ̀ tí ó gbèrò sí i.
26 Those closest to him will destroy him. His army will be wiped out—many will fall in battle.
Àwọn tí ó jẹ nínú oúnjẹ ọba yóò gbìyànjú láti parun, a ó gbá ogun rẹ̀ dànù, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni yóò ṣubú sí ogun.
27 The two kings, with evil intentions, will tell each other lies even as they sit together at the same table. But their scheming is pointless—the end will come at the time predicted.
Àwọn ọba méjèèjì, ọkàn wọn tẹ̀ sí búburú, wọn yóò jókòó lórí tábìlì kan, wọn yóò máa parọ́ sí ara wọn, ṣùgbọ́n kò ní yọrí sí nǹkan kan nítorí òpin yóò wá ní àsìkò tí a yàn.
28 The king of the north will return to his own country with all the wealth he has looted. He will be determined to attack the people of the holy agreement, and do all he can to destroy it before returning to his own country.
Ọba àríwá yóò padà sí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọrọ̀ púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn rẹ̀ yóò lòdì sí májẹ̀mú mímọ́, yóò sì ṣiṣẹ́ lòdì sí i, yóò sì padà sí orílẹ̀-èdè òun fúnra rẹ̀.
29 At the time predicted he will return to invade the south again, but this time it won't be like before.
“Ní àsìkò tí a yàn, yóò gbógun sí gúúsù lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, ṣùgbọ́n ní ìgbà yí àyọríṣí yóò yàtọ̀ sí ti ìṣáájú.
30 Ships from Cyprus will come to attack him, frightening him off so that he retreats. But this will make him mad, and he will attack the people of the holy agreement, recognizing those who abandon their commitment to the holy agreement.
Nítorí pé, ọkọ̀ ojú omi àwọn ilẹ̀ etídò ìwọ̀-oòrùn yóò takò ó, ọkàn rẹ̀ yóò sì pami. Nígbà náà, ni yóò padà, yóò sì bínú sí májẹ̀mú mímọ́, yóò sì padà, yóò sì fi ojúrere hàn sí àwọn tí ó kọ májẹ̀mú mímọ́ náà.
31 His forces will occupy and defile the Temple fortress. They will put a stop to the continual service, and set up a form of idolatry that causes devastation.
“Agbára ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ yóò dìde láti ba ohun mímọ́ ilé olódi tẹmpili jẹ́, yóò sì pa ẹbọ ojoojúmọ́ rẹ́. Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò gbé ìríra tí ó fa ìsọdahoro kalẹ̀.
32 The king will use flattery to corrupt those who break the solemn agreement, but the people who know their God will stand firm in their resistance.
Pẹ̀lú irú àwọn tí ń ṣe búburú sí májẹ̀mú ní yóò fi ọ̀rọ̀ ìpọ́nni mú ṣọ̀tẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n, àwọn tí ó mọ Ọlọ́run wọn yóò mú ọkàn le. Wọn yóò sì máa ṣe iṣẹ́ agbára.
33 Wise leaders of the people will teach many, though for a time they will be killed by sword and fire, or they will be imprisoned and robbed.
“Àwọn tí ó mòye yóò máa kọ́ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n fún ìgbà díẹ̀, wọn yóò máa ṣubú nípa idà tàbí kí a jó wọn tàbí ìgbèkùn tàbí nípa ìkógun.
34 During this time of persecution they will receive a little help, and many who join them won't be sincere.
Nígbà tí wọ́n bá ṣubú, wọn yóò rí ìrànlọ́wọ́ díẹ̀, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn tó ṣe aláìṣòótọ́ yóò sì darapọ̀ mọ́ wọn.
35 Some of the wise will be killed, so that they may be refined and purified and cleansed until the time of the end, for the predicted time is still to come.
Lára àwọn tí ó mòye yóò kọsẹ̀, nítorí kí a ba à tún wọn ṣe, wọ́n di mímọ́ àti aláìlábàwọ́n títí di ìgbà ìkẹyìn nítorí yóò sì wá ní àkókò tí a yàn.
36 The king will do whatever he wants, praising himself and considering himself greater than any god, even saying outrageous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of anger has finished, for what has been decided will be accomplished.
“Ọba yóò ṣe bí ó ti wù ú yóò sì gbé ara rẹ̀ ga, ju gbogbo òrìṣà lọ, yóò máa sọ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí kò-ṣe-é-gbọ́-létí sí Ọlọ́run àwọn Ọlọ́run, yóò sì máa yege títí àkókò ìbínú yóò fi parí, nítorí ohun tí a ti pinnu yóò ṣẹlẹ̀.
37 He will have no time for the gods of his forefathers, nor for the one loved by women, nor for any other god, for he considers himself greater than any of these.
Òun kò ní ka òrìṣà àwọn baba rẹ̀ sí tàbí èyí tí àwọn fẹ́, òun kò ní ka nǹkan kan sí, ṣùgbọ́n yóò gbé ara rẹ̀ ga ju gbogbo wọn lọ.
38 Instead he will honor the god of fortresses—a god unknown to his forefathers—giving him offerings of gold and silver and precious stones and expensive gifts.
Ṣùgbọ́n dípò wọn, yóò bu ọlá fún òrìṣà àwọn ìlú olódi: òrìṣà tí àwọn baba rẹ̀ kò mọ̀ ni yóò bu ọlá fún pẹ̀lú wúrà àti fàdákà, pẹ̀lú òkúta iyebíye àti ẹ̀bùn tí ó lówó lórí.
39 He will deal with strong fortresses with the help of this foreign god. He will give riches to those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over the people, and distributing the land at a price.
Yóò kọlu àwọn ìlú olódi tí ó lágbára pẹ̀lú ìrànlọ́wọ́ òrìṣà àjèjì, yóò sì bu ọláńlá fún ẹni tí ó jẹ́wọ́ rẹ̀. Yóò mú wọn ṣe alákòóso lórí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn, yóò sì pín ilẹ̀ náà fún wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí èrè.
40 At the time of the end the king of the south will attack him. But the king of the north will retaliate with force like a storm, with chariots and horsemen and many ships. He will advance, sweeping through many lands.
“Ní ìgbà ìkẹyìn, ọba gúúsù yóò gbé ogun de sí i, ọba àríwá yóò sì jáde bí ìjì láti kọlù ú pẹ̀lú u kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti ẹlẹ́ṣin àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọkọ̀ ojú omi. Yóò gbógun wọ orílẹ̀-èdè púpọ̀, yóò sì bo wọn mọ́lẹ̀ bí ìkún omi.
41 He will invade the Beautiful Land and kill many people there. However, Moab, Edom, and most of the Ammonites will escape his power.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò sì tún gbógun ti ilẹ̀ ológo náà pẹ̀lú, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè yóò ṣubú, ṣùgbọ́n Edomu, Moabu àti àwọn olórí Ammoni yóò bọ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
42 He will extend his attacks against different countries—even the land of Egypt will not be able to escape.
Yóò lo agbára rẹ̀ lórí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè; Ejibiti kì yóò là.
43 He will acquire the gold and silver and riches of Egypt, ruling over them and also the Libyans and Ethiopians.
Yóò gba àkóso ìṣúra wúrà àti fàdákà àti gbogbo ọrọ̀ Ejibiti, pẹ̀lú ti Libia àti Kuṣi nígbà tí ó mú wọn tẹríba.
44 But news from the east and the north will alarm him, and in a furious rage he will set out to destroy and exterminate many people.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìròyìn láti ìlà-oòrùn àti láti ìwọ̀-oòrùn yóò mú ìdáríjì bá a, yóò sì fi ìbínú ńlá jáde lọ láti parun, àti láti pa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ run pátápátá.
45 He will set up his royal camp between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. But he will die with no one to help him.
Yóò sì pàgọ́ ọ rẹ̀ láàrín Òkun kọjú sí àárín òkè mímọ́ ológo. Síbẹ̀ yóò wá sí òpin rẹ̀, ẹnìkan kò ní ràn án lọ́wọ́.
