Chapter 11
The Hellenistic Age. 2 “Now I shall tell you the truth.
“Three kings of Persia[a] are yet to appear; and a fourth shall acquire the greatest riches of all. Strengthened by his riches, he shall stir up all kingdoms, even that of Greece. 3 But a powerful king[b] shall appear and rule with great might, doing as he wills. 4 No sooner shall he appear than his kingdom shall be broken and divided in four directions under heaven; but not among his descendants or in keeping with his mighty rule, for his kingdom shall be torn to pieces and belong to others.
5 [c]“The king of the south shall grow strong, but one of his princes shall grow stronger still and govern a domain greater than his. 6 [d]After some years they shall become allies: the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to carry out the alliance. But she shall not retain power: and his offspring shall not survive, and she shall be given up, together with those who brought her, her son, and her supporter in due time. 7 A descendant of her line shall succeed to his place, and shall come against the army, enter the stronghold of the king of the north, attack and conquer them. 8 Even their gods, with their molten images and their precious vessels of silver and gold, he shall carry away as spoils of war into Egypt. For years he shall have nothing to do with the king of the north. 9 Then the latter shall invade the land of the king of the south, and return to his own country.
10 “But his sons shall be aroused and assemble a great armed host, which shall pass through like a flood and again surge around the stronghold. 11 [e]The king of the south, enraged, shall go out to fight against the king of the north, who shall field a great host, but the host shall be given into his hand. 12 When the host is carried off, in the pride of his heart he shall bring down tens of thousands, but he shall not triumph. 13 [f]For the king of the north shall raise another army, greater than before; after some years he shall attack with this large army and great resources. 14 In those times many shall resist the king of the south, and violent ones among your people shall rise up in fulfillment of vision, but they shall stumble. 15 [g]When the king of the north comes, he shall set up siegeworks and take the fortified city by storm. The forces of the south shall not withstand him, and not even his picked troops shall have the strength to withstand. 16 The invader shall do as he wills, with no one to withstand him. He shall stop in the glorious land, and it shall all be in his power. 17 [h]He shall resolve to come with the entire strength of his kingdom. He shall make an alliance with him and give him a daughter in marriage in order to destroy him, but this shall not stand. 18 [i]He shall turn to the coastland and take many prisoners, but a commander shall put an end to his shameful conduct, so that he cannot retaliate. 19 He shall turn to the strongholds of his own land, but shall stumble and fall, to be found no more. 20 [j]In his stead one shall arise who will send a collector of tribute through the glorious kingdom, but he shall soon be destroyed, though not in conflict or in battle.
21 [k]“There shall arise in his place a despicable person, to whom the royal insignia shall not be given. He shall enter by stealth and seize the kingdom by fraud. 22 Armed forces shall be completely overwhelmed by him and crushed, even the prince of the covenant.[l] 23 After making alliances, he shall treacherously rise to power with only a few supporters. 24 By stealth he shall enter prosperous provinces and do that which his fathers or grandfathers never did; he shall distribute spoil, plunder, and riches among them and devise plots against their strongholds. 25 He shall rouse his strength and courage to meet the king of the south with a great army; the king of the south shall go into battle with a very large and strong army, but he shall not stand because of the plots devised against him. 26 Even his table companions shall seek to destroy him, his army shall be overwhelmed, and many shall be struck down. 27 The two kings, resolved on evil, shall sit at table together and exchange lies, but they shall have no success, because the appointed end is not yet.
28 “He[m] shall turn back toward his land with great riches, his mind set against the holy covenant; he shall take action and return to his land. 29 At the time appointed he shall come again to the south, but this time it shall not be as before. 30 When ships of the Kittim[n] confront him, he shall lose heart and retreat. Then he shall rage against the holy covenant and take action; he shall again favor those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 Armed forces shall rise at his command and defile the sanctuary stronghold, abolishing the daily sacrifice and setting up the desolating abomination. 32 By his deceit he shall make some who were disloyal forsake the covenant; but those who remain loyal to their God shall take strong action. 33 Those with insight among the people shall instruct the many; though for a time the sword, flames, exile, and plunder will cause them to stumble. 34 When they stumble, they will be helped,[o] but only a little; many shall join them, but out of treachery. 35 Some of those with insight shall stumble so that they may be tested, refined, and purified, until the end time which is still appointed to come.
36 “The king shall do as he wills, exalting himself and making himself greater than any god; he shall utter dreadful blasphemies against the God of gods. He shall prosper only till the wrath is finished, for what is determined must take place. 37 He shall have no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one in whom women delight;[p] for no god shall he have regard, because he shall make himself greater than all. 38 Instead, he shall give glory to the god of strongholds;[q] a god unknown to his ancestors he shall glorify with gold, silver, precious stones, and other treasures. 39 He shall act for those who fortify strongholds, a people of a foreign god, whom he has recognized. He shall greatly honor them; he shall make them rule over the many and distribute the land as a reward.
40 [r]“At the end time the king of the south shall engage him in battle but the king of the north shall overwhelm him with chariots and horsemen and a great fleet, passing through the lands like a flood. 41 He shall enter the glorious land and many shall fall, except Edom, Moab, and the chief part of Ammon, which shall escape his power. 42 He shall extend his power over the land, and not even Egypt shall escape. 43 He shall control the riches of gold and silver and all the treasures of Egypt; Libya and Ethiopia shall be in his entourage. 44 When reports from the east and the north disturb him, he shall set out with great fury to destroy many, putting them under the ban. 45 He shall pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the sea and the glorious holy mountain, but he shall come to his end with none to help him.

- 11:2 Three kings of Persia: it is unclear which kings are intended because there were more than three Persian kings between Cyrus and the dissolution of the kingdom. The fourth is Xerxes I (486–465 B.C.), the great campaigner against Greece.
- 11:3 A powerful king: Alexander the Great, who broke Persian dominance by his victory at Issus in 333 B.C.
- 11:5–45 These verses describe the dynastic histories of the Ptolemies in Egypt (the king of the south) and the Seleucids in Syria (the king of the north), the two divisions of the Hellenistic empire that were of interest to the author (v. 6). Verses 10–20 describe the struggle between the two kingdoms for the control of Palestine; the Seleucids were eventually victorious.

- 11:28 He: the king of the north, probably Antiochus IV.
- 11:30 Kittim: originally this word meant Cypriots or other westerners. It is sometimes used for the Greeks (1 Mc 1:1). Here it refers to the Romans, who forced Antiochus to withdraw from Egypt during his second campaign there.
- 11:34 Helped: this may be a reference to the Maccabean revolt. The apocalyptic author expects deliverance from God and has little regard for human efforts. In fact, the Maccabees routed the Syrian troops, recaptured Jerusalem, purified and rededicated the Temple, and brought to an end the Syrian persecution.
- 11:37 The one in whom women delight: Tammuz. Antiochus favored the cult of Zeus. Daniel takes this to imply the neglect of all other gods, although this does not appear to have been the case.
- 11:38 The god of strongholds: the god worshiped in the fortress Akra, which Antiochus established in Jerusalem.
- 11:40–45 In these concluding verses, the events described no longer correspond to the history of the Maccabean period. Daniel imagines the death of Antiochus on the model of Gog in Ez 38–39. Antiochus actually died in Persia.

New International Version
11 1 And in the first year of Darius(A) the Mede, I took my stand to support and protect him.)
The Kings of the South and the North
2 “Now then, I tell you the truth:(B) Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. When he has gained power by his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.(C) 3 Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great power and do as he pleases.(D) 4 After he has arisen, his empire will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven.(E) It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the power he exercised, because his empire will be uprooted(F) and given to others.
5 “The king of the South will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he and will rule his own kingdom with great power. 6 After some years, they will become allies. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an alliance, but she will not retain her power, and he and his power[a] will not last. In those days she will be betrayed, together with her royal escort and her father[b] and the one who supported her.
7 “One from her family line will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces of the king of the North(G) and enter his fortress; he will fight against them and be victorious. 8 He will also seize their gods,(H) their metal images and their valuable articles of silver and gold and carry them off to Egypt.(I) For some years he will leave the king of the North alone. 9 Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will retreat to his own country. 10 His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army, which will sweep on like an irresistible flood(J) and carry the battle as far as his fortress.
11 “Then the king of the South will march out in a rage and fight against the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be defeated.(K) 12 When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be filled with pride and will slaughter many thousands, yet he will not remain triumphant. 13 For the king of the North will muster another army, larger than the first; and after several years, he will advance with a huge army fully equipped.
14 “In those times many will rise against the king of the South. Those who are violent among your own people will rebel in fulfillment of the vision, but without success. 15 Then the king of the North will come and build up siege ramps(L) and will capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will be powerless to resist; even their best troops will not have the strength to stand. 16 The invader will do as he pleases;(M) no one will be able to stand against him.(N) He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land and will have the power to destroy it.(O) 17 He will determine to come with the might of his entire kingdom and will make an alliance with the king of the South. And he will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plans[c] will not succeed(P) or help him. 18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands(Q) and will take many of them, but a commander will put an end to his insolence and will turn his insolence back on him.(R) 19 After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own country but will stumble and fall,(S) to be seen no more.(T)
20 “His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain the royal splendor.(U) In a few years, however, he will be destroyed, yet not in anger or in battle.
21 “He will be succeeded by a contemptible(V) person who has not been given the honor of royalty.(W) He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue. 22 Then an overwhelming army will be swept away(X) before him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed.(Y) 23 After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully,(Z) and with only a few people he will rise to power. 24 When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers.(AA) He will plot the overthrow of fortresses—but only for a time.
25 “With a large army he will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South. The king of the South will wage war with a large and very powerful army, but he will not be able to stand because of the plots devised against him. 26 Those who eat from the king’s provisions will try to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall in battle. 27 The two kings, with their hearts bent on evil,(AB) will sit at the same table and lie(AC) to each other, but to no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time.(AD) 28 The king of the North will return to his own country with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant. He will take action against it and then return to his own country.
29 “At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time the outcome will be different from what it was before. 30 Ships of the western coastlands(AE) will oppose him, and he will lose heart.(AF) Then he will turn back and vent his fury(AG) against the holy covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 “His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice.(AH) Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.(AI) 32 With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist(AJ) him.
33 “Those who are wise will instruct(AK) many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered.(AL) 34 When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere(AM) will join them. 35 Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined,(AN) purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
The King Who Exalts Himself
36 “The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself(AO) above every god and will say unheard-of things(AP) against the God of gods.(AQ) He will be successful until the time of wrath(AR) is completed, for what has been determined must take place.(AS) 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.[d]
40 “At the time of the end the king of the South(AT) will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm(AU) out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood.(AV) 41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land.(AW) Many countries will fall, but Edom,(AX) Moab(AY) and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. 42 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. 43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt,(AZ) with the Libyans(BA) and Cushites[e] in submission. 44 But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at[f] the beautiful holy mountain.(BB) Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

The Angel's Message to Daniel
Part One: The Four Kings and Their Successors
2 What I am going to tell you is certain to happen. Four kings will rule Persia, one after the other, but the fourth one will become much richer than the others. In fact, his wealth will make him so powerful that he will turn everyone against the kingdom of Greece. 3 Then a mighty king will come to power and will be able to do whatever he pleases. 4 But suddenly his kingdom will be crushed and scattered to the four corners of the earth, where four more kingdoms will rise. But these won't be ruled by his descendants or be as powerful as his kingdom.
5 The king of the south will grow powerful. Then one of his generals will rebel and will rule an even larger kingdom. 6 Years later the southern kingdom and the northern kingdom will make a treaty, and the daughter of the king of the south will marry the king of the north. But she will lose her power. Then she, her husband, their child,[b] and the servants who came with her will all be killed.
After this, 7 one of her relatives will become the ruler of the southern kingdom. He will attack the army of the northern kingdom and capture its fortresses. 8 Then he will carry their idols to Egypt, together with their precious treasures of silver and gold, but it will be a long time before he attacks the northern kingdom again. Some years later 9 the king of the north will invade the southern kingdom, but he will be forced back to his own country.
10 The sons of the king of the north will gather a huge army that will sweep down like a roaring flood, reaching all the way to the fortress of the southern kingdom. 11 (A) But this will make the king of the south angry, and he will defeat this large army from the north. 12 The king of the south will feel proud because of the many thousands he has killed. But his victories won't last long, 13 because the king of the north will gather a larger and more powerful army than ever before. Then in a few years, he will start invading other countries.
14 At this time many of your own people will try to make this vision come true by rebelling against the king of the south, but their rebellion will fail. 15 Then the army from the north will surround and capture a fortress in the south, and not even the most experienced troops of the southern kingdom will be able to make them retreat. 16 The king who invaded from the north will do as he pleases, and he will even capture and destroy the holy land.[c] 17 In fact, he will decide to invade the south with his entire army. Then he will attempt to make peace by giving the king of the south a bride from the northern kingdom, but this won't be successful.
18 Afterwards, this proud king of the north will invade and conquer many of the nations along the coast, but a military leader will defeat him and make him lose his pride. 19 He will retreat to his fortresses in his own country, but on the way he will be defeated and never again be seen.
20 The next king of the north will try to collect taxes for the glory of his kingdom. However, he will come to a sudden end in some mysterious way, instead of in battle or because of someone's anger.
Part Two: The Evil King from the North
21 The successor of this king of the north will be a worthless nobody, who doesn't even come from a royal family. He will suddenly appear and gain control of the kingdom by treachery. 22 Then he will destroy armies and remove God's chosen high priest. 23 He will make a treaty, but he will be deceitful and break it, even though he has only a few followers. 24 Without warning, he will successfully invade a wealthy province, which is something his ancestors never did. Then he will divide among his followers all of its treasures and property. But none of this will last very long.
25 He will gather a large and powerful army, and with great courage he will attack the king of the south. The king of the south will meet him with a much stronger army, but he will lose the battle, because he will be betrayed 26 by members of the royal court. He will be ruined, and most of his army will be slaughtered.
27 The two kings will meet around a table and tell evil lies to each other. But their plans will fail, because God has already decided what will happen. 28 Then the king of the north will return to his country with great treasures. But on the way, he will attack the religion of God's people and do whatever else he pleases.
29 At the time God has decided, the king of the north will invade the southern kingdom again, but this time, things will be different. 30 (B) Ships from the west will come to attack him, and he will be discouraged. Then he will start back to his own country and take out his anger on the religion of God's faithful people, while showing kindness to those who are unfaithful. 31 (C) He will send troops to pollute the temple and the fortress, and he will stop the daily sacrifices. Then he will set up that “Horrible Thing” that causes destruction. 32 The king will use deceit to win followers from those who are unfaithful to God, but those who remain faithful will do everything possible to oppose him.
33 Wise leaders will instruct many of the people. But for a while, some of these leaders will either be killed with swords or burned alive, or else robbed of their possessions and thrown into prison. 34 They will receive only a little help in their time of trouble, and many of their followers will be treacherous. 35 Some of those who are wise will suffer, so that God will make them pure and acceptable until the end, which will still come at the time he has decided.
36 (D) This king will do as he pleases. He will proudly claim to be greater than any god and will insult the only true God. Indeed, he will be successful until God is no longer angry with his people. 37 This king will reject the gods his ancestors worshiped and the god preferred by women.[d] In fact, he will put himself above all gods 38 and worship only the so-called god of fortresses, who was unknown to his ancestors. And he will honor it with gold, silver, precious stones, and other costly gifts. 39 With the help of this foreign god, he will capture the strongest fortresses. Everyone who worships this god will be put in a position of power and rewarded with wealth and land.
Part Three: The Time of the End
40 At the time of the end, the king of the south will attack the kingdom of the north. But its king will rush out like a storm with war chariots, cavalry, and many ships. Indeed, his forces will flood one country after another, 41 and when they reach the holy land,[e] tens of thousands will be killed. But the countries of Edom and Moab and the ruler of Ammon[f] will escape.
42 The king of the north will invade many countries, including Egypt, 43 and he will take its rich treasures of gold and silver. He will also conquer Libya and Ethiopia.[g] 44 But he will be alarmed by news from the east and the north, and he will become furious and cause great destruction. 45 After this, he will set up camp between the Mediterranean Sea and Mount Zion. Then he will be destroyed, and no one will be able to save him.

Oo wuxuu dhex istaagi doonaa dhulka quruxda leh, gacantiisana waxaa ku jiri doona baabbi'in. 17 Inuu xoogga boqortooyadiisa oo dhan la yimaado aawadeed ayuu wejigiisa u jeedin doonaa, waxaana la jiri doona kuwa qumman, markaasuu siduu doonayo yeeli doonaa; oo waxaa la siin doonaa gabadha dumarka si uu u kharribo, laakiin ma ay istaagi doonto, tiisiina ma ay noqon doonto. 18 Taas dabadeedna wuxuu u jeesan doonaa xagga gasiiradaha, kuwo badanna wuu qaadan doonaa, laakiinse mid amiir ah ayaa caydii uu caayay joojin doona; oo weliba caydiisii isaguu ku celin doonaa. 19 Markaasuu haddana u jeesan doona xagga qalcadaha waddankiisa, laakiinse wuu turunturoon doonaa oo dhici doonaa, lamana heli doono. 20 Dabadeedna waxaa meeshiisii istaagi doona mid ka dhigi doona in cashuurqaade boqortooyada ammaanteeda dhex maro, laakiin dhawr maalmood dabadood ayaa la jebin doonaa, lagumase jebin doono cadho ama dagaal. 21 Oo waxaa meeshiisii qaadan doona mid la quudhsado, oo aan la siinin murwaddii boqortooyada, laakiin wuxuu iman doonaa wakhtiga nabadgelyada, oo boqortooyadana sasabashuu ku qaadan doonaa. 22 Oo iyaga hortiisa ayaa laga xaaqi doonaa, sida daadku wax u qarqiyo oo kale, waana la jebin doonaa iyagii, iyo weliba amiirkii axdigaba. 23 Oo markii wacad lala dhigto dabadeed ayuu si khiyaano ah ku shaqaysan doonaa, waayo, dad yar buu la soo bixi doonaa, wuuna xoog badnaan doonaa. 24 Wakhtiga nabadgelyada ayuu iman doonaa xataa meelaha gobolka ugu barwaaqo badan, markaasuu wuxuu samayn doonaa wax aan awowayaashiis iyo abkowyadiis midkoodna samayn; oo wuxuu ku dhex firdhin doonaa wax la boobay iyo dhac iyo maal: oo intii wakhti ayuu wax qalcadaha ka gees ah ku fikiri doonaa. 25 Markaasuu xooggiisa iyo geesinimadiisa ku kicin doonaa boqorka koonfureed, isagoo ciidan badan wata, boqorka koonfureedna isaguu la dagaallami doona isagoo wata ciidan aad u xoog badan, laakiinse isma uu taagi doono, maxaa yeelay, wax ka gees ah bay ku fikiri doonaan. 26 Oo kuwii quudkiisii cunay ayaa jebin doona isaga, oo ciidankiisuna dalkuu qarqin doonaa, oo kuwo badan baa dhici doona iyagoo la laayay. 27 Oo labadaas boqorba qalbiyadoodu waxay ka shaqayn doonaan belaayo, oo miis keliya ayay been isugu sheegi doonaan; laakiinse ma ay hagaagi doonto; waayo, weliba ugudambaystu waxay noqon doontaa wakhtigii la xugmay. 28 Markaasuu dhulkiisii ku noqon doonaa isagoo maal badan wata, qalbigiisuna ka gees buu noqon doonaa axdiga quduuska ah; siduu doonayo ayuu yeeli doonaa oo dhulkiisuu ku noqon doonaa. 29 Wakhtigii loo xugmay ayuu noqon doonaa oo koonfurtuu iman doonaa; laakiinse wakhtiga ugu dambaysta ma noqon doono sidii kii hore, 30 waayo, doonniyaha Kitiim ayaa soo weerari doona; oo sidaas daraaddeed ayuu u quusan doonaa, oo u noqon doonaa, oo wuxuu u cadhoon doonaa axdiga quduuska ah oo siduu doonayo ayuu yeeli doonaa, oo xataa wuu noqon doonaa, wuuna u fiirsan doonaa kuwa ka taga axdiga quduuska ah. 31 Oo ciidan baa isaga la gees noqon doona, oo waxay nijaasayn doonaan meesha quduuska ah ee qalcadda leh, oo waxay qaadan doonaan qurbaanka joogtada, oo waxay qotomin doonaan waxa baas oo wax baabbi'iya. 32 Oo kuwa wax baas oo axdiga ka gees ah sameeya ayuu sasabasho ku qalloocin doonaa; laakiinse dadka Ilaahooda yaqaan way xoog badnaan doonaan, oo waxyaalo waaweyn bay samayn doonaan. 33 Oo kuwa xigmadda leh oo dadka ku dhex jira, kuwo badan bay wax bari doonaan; laakiinse maalmo badan bay ku dhici doonaan seef, iyo olol, iyo maxbuusnimo, iyo dhac. 34 Haddaba markay dhacaan baa lagu caawin doonaa caawimaad yar, laakiinse qaar badan baa iyagoo sasabanaya ku darsami doona. 35 Oo qaarkooda xigmadda leh ayaa dhici doona, si loo tijaabiyo, oo loo daahiriyo, oo loo caddeeyo, ilaa wakhtiga ugudambaysta, maxaa yeelay, waa weli wakhtigii la xugmay.
Boqorka Oo Is Saraysiiya
36 Oo boqorku siduu doonuu yeeli doonaa; wuuna isa sarraysiin doonaa oo iska weynaysiin doonaa ilaah kasta, oo waxyaalo yaab miidhan ah ayuu kaga hadli doonaa Ilaaha ilaahyada, wuuna iska barwaaqoobi doonaa ilaa ay cadhadu buuxsanto; waayo, wixii la goostay ayaa la samayn doonaa. 37 Umana fiirsan doono ilaahyadii awowayaashiis, ama waxa dumarku jecel yihiin, oo ilaahna uma fiirsan doono, waayo, wuu iska weynaysiin doonaa wax kasta. 38 Laakiinse meeshiisuu ku cisayn doonaa ilaaha qalcadaha; oo ilaah aanay awowayaashiis garanayn ayuu ku cisayn doonaa dahab iyo lacag iyo dhagaxyo qaali ah, iyo waxyaalo fiican. 39 Oo ilaah qalaad caawimaaddiis ayuu wax ku samayn doonaa qalcadaha ugu xoogga badan, oo mid kasta oo isaga aqoonsada wuxuu u kordhin doonaa ammaan; wuxuuna ka dhigi doonaa inay xukumaan kuwo badan, dhulkana abaal buu ugu kala qaybin doonaa. 40 Wakhtiga ugu dambaysta ayaa boqorka koonfureed la dagaallami doonaa isaga, oo boqorka woqooyina wuxuu ugu iman doonaa sida dabayl cirwareen ah, isagoo wata gaadhifardood, iyo fardooley, iyo doonniyo badan, wuxuuna soo dhex geli doonaa waddammada, wuuna qarqin doonaa, oo dhex mari doonaa. 41 Wuxuu kaloo dhex geli doonaa dhulka quruxda leh, oo waddammo badan oo kalena waa la afgembiyi doonaa, laakiin waxaa gacantiisa laga samatabbixin doonaa Edom, iyo Moo'aab, iyo kuwa waaweyn oo reer Cammoon. 42 Oo haddana gacantiisuu waddammada ku fidin doonaa, oo dalka Masarna ma baxsan doono. 43 Laakiinse xoog buu u yeelan doonaa khasnadaha dahabka iyo lacagta ah, iyo waxyaalaha qaaliga ah ee Masar oo dhan. Oo weliba dadka Liibiya, iyo dadka Itoobiyana tallaabooyinkiisay daba geli doonaan. 44 Laakiinse warar bari iyo woqooyi ka yimid ayaa ka welwelin doona isaga, markaasuu isagoo aad u cadhaysan u soo bixi doonaa inuu kuwo badan baabbi'iyo oo idleeyo. 45 Oo wuxuu teendhooyinkiisii boqornimo ka taagi doonaa meel u dhaxaysa badda iyo buurta qurxoon oo quduuska ah; laakiin mar buu dhammaadkiisu iman doonaa; oo ninna ma caawin doono.
