Taniela 11
1“And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
1PEA 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 show you the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia, and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them. And when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
2Pea 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.
3Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and do as he wills.
3“Pea ʻe tuʻu hake ha tuʻi mālohi, ʻaia ʻe pule ʻaki ʻae pule lahi, pea ne fai ʻo fakatatau mo hono loto.
4And as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the authority with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.
4Pea 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“Then the king of the south shall be strong, but one of his princes shall be stronger than he and shall rule, and his authority shall be a great authority.
5“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.
6After some years they shall make an alliance, 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, and he and his arm shall not endure, but she shall be given up, and her attendants, he who fathered her, and he who supported her in those times.
6Pea 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 from a branch from her roots one shall arise in his place. He shall come against the army and enter the fortress of the king of the north, and he shall deal with them and shall prevail.
7Ka 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:
8He shall also carry off to Egypt their gods with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold, and for some years he shall refrain from attacking the king of the north.
8Pea 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.
9Then the latter shall come into the realm of the king of the south but shall return to his own land.
9Ko ia ʻe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe potu tonga ki hono puleʻanga, pea toki foki atu ki hono fonua ʻoʻona.
10“His sons shall wage war and assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall keep coming and overflow and pass through, and again shall carry the war as far as his fortress.
10Ka 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.
11Then the king of the south, moved with rage, shall come out and fight against the king of the north. And he shall raise a great multitude, but it shall be given into his hand.
11Pea 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.
12And when the multitude is taken away, his heart shall be exalted, and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
12Pea 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.
13For the king of the north shall again raise a multitude, greater than the first. And after some years he shall come on with a great army and abundant supplies.
13He 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“In those times many shall rise against the king of the south, and the violent among your own people shall lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but they shall fail.
14Pea 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.
15Then the king of the north shall come and throw up siegeworks and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, or even his best troops, for there shall be no strength to stand.
15Ko 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.
16But he who comes against him shall do as he wills, and none shall stand before him. And he shall stand in the glorious land, with destruction in his hand.
16Ka 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.
17He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and he shall bring terms of an agreement and perform them. He shall give him the daughter of women to destroy the kingdom, but it shall not stand or be to his advantage.
17Pea 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.
18Afterward he shall turn his face to the coastlands and shall capture many of them, but a commander shall put an end to his insolence. Indeed, he shall turn his insolence back upon him.
18Pea 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.
19Then he shall turn his face back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
19Pea 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“Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute for the glory of the kingdom. But within a few days he shall be broken, neither in anger nor in battle.
20Pea 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.
21In his place shall arise a contemptible person to whom royal majesty has not been given. He shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
21Pea 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.
22Armies shall be utterly swept away before him and broken, even the prince of the covenant.
22Pea 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;
23And from the time that an alliance is made with him he shall act deceitfully, and he shall become strong with a small people.
23Pea 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.
24Without warning he shall come into the richest parts of the province, and he shall do what neither his fathers nor his fathers’ fathers have done, scattering among them plunder, spoil, and goods. He shall devise plans against strongholds, but only for a time.
24He 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.
25And he shall stir up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he shall not stand, for plots shall be devised against him.
25Pea 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.
26Even those who eat his food shall break him. His army shall be swept away, and many shall fall down slain.
26ʻIo, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻi heʻene meʻakai, te nau tāmateʻi ia, pea ko ʻene kautau ʻe movete: pea ʻe tō ʻo mate ʻae tokolahi.
27And as for the two kings, their hearts shall be bent on doing evil. They shall speak lies at the same table, but to no avail, for the end is yet to be at the time appointed.
27Pea 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.
28And he shall return to his land with great wealth, but his heart shall be set against the holy covenant. And he shall work his will and return to his own land.
28“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 come into the south, but it shall not be this time as it was before.
29Pea 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.
30For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and be enraged and take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant.
30Koeʻuhi 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
31Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.
31Pea 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.
32He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.
32Pea 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.
33And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder.
33Pea 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.
34When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery,
34Pea ʻoka nau ka tō, ʻe tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae tokoni siʻi: ka e pikitai ʻae tokolahi kiate kinautolu ʻi he lapu.
35and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made white, until the time of the end, for it still awaits the appointed time.
35Pea 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 as he wills. He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done.
36Pea 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.
37He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all.
37Pea 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.
38He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.
38Ka 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.
39He shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide the land for a price.
39ʻE 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“At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and shall overflow and pass through.
40“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
41He shall come into the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites.
41Te 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.
42He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
42Te ne mafao atu hono nima foki ki he ngaahi fonua; pea ʻe ʻikai hao ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsipite.
43He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the Libyans and the Cushites shall follow in his train.
43Pea 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.
44But news from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and devote many to destruction.
44Ka 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.
45And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.
45Pea 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.”
