Kana ndirini, negore rokutanga raDhariusi muMedhia, ini ndakasimuka kundomutsigira nokumusimbisa.Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
Zvino ndichakuzivisa chokwadi. Tarira, paPeresia pachamukazve madzimambo matatu; wechina achava mupfumi kupfuura ivavo vose; zvino kana asimba kwazvo nefuma yake, achamutsa vamwe vose kuzorwa noushe hweGirisi.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 by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
Zvino mambo ane simba achamuka, achabata ushe nesimba guru, achiita sezvaanoda.And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Kana amuka, ushe hwake huchaputswa, ndokuparadzirwa kumhepo ina dzokudenga, asi hahungaendi kuvazukuru vake, uye hahungaenzani nesimba raakabata naro iye; nokuti ushe hwake huchadzurwa, ndokupiwa vamwe kunze kwaivavo.And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
Mambo wezasi achava nesimba, nomumwe wamachinda ake; zvino iye achamupfuura nesimba, ndokubata ushe; ushe hwake huchava ushe hukuru.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.
Kana mamwe makore apfuura, vachaita sungano; mukunda wamambo wezasi achaenda kuna mambo wokumusoro kuzotsvaka sungano, asi iye mukunda haangarambi ane simba roruoko rwake; kunyange naiye mambo haangamiri, nesimba roruoko rwake; asi mukunda, navakauya naye, naiye akamubereka, naiye akamusimbisa nenguva idzo vachaiswa pakuparadzwa.And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the 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 these times.
Asi pabukira remidzi yake mumwe achamuka panzvimbo yake; iye acharwa namambo wokumusoro, acharwa navo nokuvakunda.But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
Achatapawo vamwari vavo, pamwechete nemifananidzo yavo yakaumbwa, nemidziyo yavo yakanaka yesirivha nendarama, achindozviisa Ijipiti; ipapo acharega mambo wokumusoro mamwe makore.And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.
Achapindawo muushe hwamambo wezasi, asi achazodzokera kunyika yake.So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
Vanakomana vake vachandorwa, vachaunganidza boka guru ravarwi, richauya, nokupararira, ndokupfuura neseri; ipapo richadzoka ndokuzorwa kusvikira panhare yake.But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.
Zvino mambo wezasi achatsamwa, achandorwa naye, naiye mambo wokumusoro; asi iye achakokera boka guru, boka iro richaiswa mumaoko ake.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; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
Boka iro richatapwa, zvino mwoyo wake uchazvikudza; uchaparadza vana makumi ezviuru, asi haangakundi.And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
Zvino mambo wokumusoro achadzoka, ndokukokera boka guru kune rokutanga; achauya pakupera kwenguva dziya, dziya dzamakore ane hondo huru nenhumbi zhinji.For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
Nenguva idzo vazhinji vachamukira mambo wezasi; uye vana vavanopenga pakati pavanhu vako vachazvikudza, kuti vasimbise zvawakaratidzwa; asi vachaparadzwa.And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
Zvino mambo wokumusoro achasvika, ndokuvatutira murwi wokurwa, ndokukunda guta rakavakirwa kwazvo; hondo dzezasi handzingagoni kumira, kunyange navanhu vake vakatsaurwa, uye vachashayiwa simba rokumira naro.So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
Asi uyo anouuya kuzorwa naye achaita sezvaanoda, hakuna angamira pamberi pake; zvino iye achamira panyika yakaisvonaka, akabata kuparadza muruoko rwake.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, which by his hand shall be consumed.
Ipapo achashingaira kuuya nesimba roushe hwake hwose, ane sungano yake; achaita izvozvo, achamupa mwanasikana wavakadzi, kuti amuparadze; asi zvichakona, haana chaachawana.He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
Shure kwaizvozvo acharinzira chiso chake kuzvivi, ndokukunda zvizhinji; asi mumwe mukuru wehondo achagumisa kushoora kwake; achadzosera kushoora kwake kuna iye amene. 'After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
Ipapo acharinzira chiso chake kunhare dzenyika yake; asi achagumburwa nokuwa, ndokushayikwa.Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
Zvino panzvimbo yake kuchamuka mumwe achatuma muteresi kupfuura pakaisvonaka paushe hwake, asi kana mazuva mashoma apera uchaparadzwa, zvisingaitwi nokutsamwa kana nokurwa.Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
Panzvimbo yake kuchamuka munhu anofanira kuzvidzwa, akanga asina kupiwa kukudzwa kwoushe; asi iye achasvika nenguva yokufara kwavanhu, ndokutora ushe nokubata kumeso.And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
Hondo dzinokukura dzichakukurwa pamberi pake, dzichaparadzwa; zvirokwazvo, naiye muchinda wesunganowo.And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
Kana apedza kuita sungano navo, achavanyengera; nokuti achakwirira, nokuva nesimba navanhu vashoma.And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
Nenguva yokufara kwavanhu achapinda pamativi akaorera enyika; achaita zvisina kumboitwa namadzibaba ake, kunyange namadzibaba amadzibaba ake; achaparadzira pakati pavo zvaakatapa nezvaakapamba nenhumbi; achatanda mano ake pamusoro penhare, asi nenguva bedzi.He shall enter peaceably 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 the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
Ipapo achamutsira mambo wezasi simba rake nomwoyo wake, ane hondo huru kwazvo ine simba; asi haangamiri, nokuti vachamutandira mano.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 be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
Vanodya zvokudya zvake, ndivo vachamuparadza; hondo yake ichapararira, vazhinji vachawira pasi vaurawa.Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
Kana ari madzimambo awo maviri, mwoyo yavo ichada kuita zvakashata, vachareva nhema vari patafura rimwe; asi hazvingabatsiri, nokuti kuguma kuchasvika nenguva yakatarwa.And both these kings’ 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.
Ipapo achadzokera kunyika yake nenhumbi zhinji; mwoyo wake uchavenga sungano, achaita sezvaanoda, ndokudzokera kunyika yake.Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
Nenguva yakatarwa achadzoka, ndokusvika kunyika yezasi; asi nenguva yokupedzisira hazvingaiti sapakutanga.At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
Nokuti zvikepe zveKitimi zvichauya kuzorwa naye; naizvozvo achaora mwoyo, ndokudzoka akatsamwa pamusoro pesungano, ndokuita sezvaanoda; achadzoka, ndokuva nehanya navakaramba sungano tsvene.For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
Hondo dzichamutswa naye., dzichamhura nzvimbo tsvene, iye nhare, vachabvisa chipiriso chinopiswa nguva dzose, ndokumutsa chinonyangadza chinoparadza.And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Vanoitira sungano zvakaipa, achavatsausa nokubata kumeso; asi vanhu vanoziva Mwari wavo, vachava nesimba, vachaita mabasa makuru.And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Vakachenjera pakati pavanhu vachadzidzisa vazhinji; asi vachaparadzwa nomunondo, uye nomurazvo womoto, uye nokutapwa, uye nokupambwa mazuva mazhinji.And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
Zvino kana voparadzwa vachabatsirwa nokubatsirwa kuduku; asi vazhinji vachazviisa kwavari nokubata kumeso.Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
Vamwe vavo vakachenjera vachaparadzwa, kuti vaedzwe, vacheneswe, kusvikira kunguva yokupedzisira; nokuti nguva yokupedzisira ichigere kusvika.And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
Mambo uyo achaita sezvaanoda; achazviita mukuru, achazvikudza achiti ndinopfuura vamwari vose, achataura zvinhu zvinoshamisa pamusoro paMwari wavamwari; iye achafara pane zvaanoita kusvikira kutsamwa kwapera, nokuti zvakatemwa zvichaitika.And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Uye haangavi nehanya navamwari vamadzibaba ake, kana norudo rwavakadzi, haangavi nehanya namwari upi noupi; nokuti achazvikudza achiti ndakapfuura vose.Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Asi panzvimbo yazvo achakudza mwari wenhare; mwari wakanga asingazikanwi namadzibaba ake, ndiye waachakudza nendarama nesirivha namabwe anokosha nezvinhu zvinodikanwa.But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Acharwa nenhare dzakaisvobata achibatsirwa namwari wavatorwa; ani naani anodikanwa naye, iye achakudzwa naye zvikuru; achavabatisa ushe pamusoro pavanhu vazhinji, achivagovera nyika uve mubayiro wavo.Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
Zvino nenguva yokupedzisira mambo wezasi achapesana naye; mambo wokumusoro achauya kuzorwa naye sechamupupuri, ane ngoro navatasvi vamabhiza nezvikepe zvizhinji, achapinda munyika idzo, ndokupararira, ndokupfuura neseri.And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at 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 over.
Achapindawo munyika yakaisvonaka, nyika zhinji dzichakundwa, asi idzi dzicharwirwa paruoko rwake, dzinoti Edhomu, neMoabhu norutivi rwakanaka rwavana vaAmoni.He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Achatambanudzirawo ruoko rwake kune dzimwe nyika; nyika yeIjipiti haingapukunyuki.He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Asi achava anesimba pamusoro pefuma yendarama nesirivha, napamusoro pezvinhu zvose zvinokosha zveIjipiti; vaRibhia navaItiopia vachatevera makwara ake.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.
Asi mashoko anobva kumabvazuva nokumusoro achamuvhundusa; ipapo achabuda nehasha kwazvo kundoparadza nokupedza chose vazhinji.But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
Achadzika matende ake oushe pakati pegungwa negomo dzvene rakaisvonaka; kunyange zvakadaro achasvika pakuguma kwake, achashayiwa anomubatsira,And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
