1. ഞാനോ മേദ്യനായ ദാര്യ്യാവേശിന്റെ ഒന്നാം ആണ്ടില് അവനെ ഉറപ്പിപ്പാനും ബലപ്പെടുത്തുവാനും എഴുന്നേറ്റുനിന്നു.

1. మాదీయుడగు దర్యావేషు మొదటి సంవత్సరమందు మిఖాయేలును స్థిరపరచుటకును బలపరచుటకును నేను అతనియొద్ద నిలువబడితిని.

2. ഇപ്പോഴോ, ഞാന് നിന്നോടു സത്യം അറിയിക്കാംപാര്സിദേശത്തു ഇനി മൂന്നു രാജാക്കന്മാര് എഴുന്നേലക്കും; നാലാമത്തവന് എല്ലാവരിലും അധികം ധനവാനായിരിക്കും; അവന് ധനംകൊണ്ടു ശക്തിപ്പെട്ടുവരുമ്പോള് എല്ലാവരെയും യവനരാജ്യത്തിന്നു നേരെ ഉദ്യോഗിപ്പിക്കും.

2. ఇప్పుడు సత్యమును నీకు తెలియజేయుచున్నాను; ఏమనగా ఇంక ముగ్గురు రాజులు పారసీకముమీద రాజ్యము చేసినపిమ్మట అందరికంటె అధికైశ్వర్యము కలిగిన నాలుగవ రాజొకడు వచ్చును. అతడు తనకున్న సంపత్తుచేత బలవంతుడై అందరిని గ్రేకేయుల రాజ్యమునకు విరోధముగా రేపును.

3. പിന്നെ വിക്രമനായൊരു രാജാവു എഴുന്നേലക്കും; അവന് വലിയ അധികാരത്തോടെ വാണു ഇഷ്ടംപോലെ പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കും.

3. అంతలో శూరుడగు ఒక రాజు పుట్టి మహా విశాలమైన రాజ్యము నేలి యిష్టానుసారముగా జరిగించును.

4. അവന് നിലക്കുമ്പോള് തന്നേ, അവന്റെ രാജ്യം തകര്ന്നു, ആകാശത്തിലെ നാലു കാറ്റിലേക്കും ഭേദിച്ചു പോകും; അതു അവന്റെ സന്തതിക്കല്ല അവന് വാണിരുന്ന അധികാരംപോലയുമല്ല അവന്റെ രാജത്വം നിര്മ്മൂലമായി അവര്ക്കല്ല അന്യര്ക്കും അധീനമാകും.

4. అతడు రాజైనతరువాత అతని రాజ్యము శిథిలమై ఆకాశపు నలుదిక్కుల విభాగింపబడును. అది అతని వంశపువారికి గాని అతడు ప్రభుత్వము చేసిన ప్రకారము ప్రభుత్వము చేయువారికి గాని విభాగింపబడదు, అతని ప్రభుత్వము వేరుతో పెరికివేయబడును, అతని వంశపువారు దానిని పొందరు గాని అన్యులు పొందుదురు.

5. എന്നാല് തെക്കെ ദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവു പ്രാബല്യം പ്രാപിക്കും; അവന്റെ പ്രഭുക്കന്മാരില് ഒരുത്തന് അവനെക്കാള് പ്രബലനായി വാഴും; അവന്റെ ആധിപത്യം മഹാധിപത്യമായ്തീരും.

5. అయితే దక్షిణదేశపు రాజును, అతని అధిపతులలో ఒకడును బలముపొందెదరు అతడు, ఇతనికంటె గొప్పవాడై యేలును; అతని ప్రభుత్వము గొప్ప ప్రభుత్వమగును.

6. കുറെക്കാലം കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടു അവര് തമ്മില് ഏകോപിക്കും; തെക്കെ ദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവിന്റെ മകള് വടക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവിന്റെ അടുക്കല് ഉടമ്പടി ചെയ്വാന് വരും; എങ്കിലും അതു നില്ക്കയില്ല; അവനും അവന്റെ സാഹിത്യവും നിലനില്ക്കയുമില്ല; അവളും അവളെ കൊണ്ടുചെന്നവരും അവളുടെ ജനകനും അവളെ തുണെച്ചവനും ഭീതിവിഷയങ്ങളായ്തീരും.

6. కొన్ని సంవత్సరములైన పిమ్మట వారు ఉభయులు కూడుకొనెదరు. మరియు వారు ఉభయులు సమాధానపడవలెనని కోరగా దక్షిణదేశపు రాజకుమార్తె ఉత్తరదేశపు రాజునొద్దకు వచ్చును. అయినను ఆమె భుజబలము నిలుపుకొననేరదు; అతడైనను అతని భుజబలమైనను నిలువదు; వారు ఆమెను, ఆమెను తీసికొని వచ్చిన వారిని, ఆమెను కనినవారిని, ఈ కాలమందు ఆమెను బలపరచిన వారిని అప్పగించెదరు.

7. എന്നാല് അവന്നു പകരം അവളുടെ വേരില്നിന്നു മുളെച്ച തൈയായ ഒരുവന് എഴുന്നേലക്കും; അവന് ബലം പ്രാപിച്ചു വടക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവിന്റെ കോട്ടയില് കടന്നു അവരുടെ നേരെ പ്രവര്ത്തിച്ചു ജയിക്കും.

7. అతనికి బదులుగా ఆమె వంశములో ఒకడు సేనకు అధిపతియై ఉత్తర దేశపురాజు కోటలో జొరబడి యిష్టానుసారముగా జరిగించుచు వారిని గెలుచును

8. അവരുടെ ദേവന്മാരെയും ബിംബങ്ങളെയും വെള്ളിയും പൊന്നുംകൊണ്ടുള്ള മനോഹരവസ്തുക്കളെയും അവന് എടുത്തു മിസ്രയീമിലേക്കു കൊണ്ടുപോകും; പിന്നെ അവന് കുറെ സംവത്സരത്തോളം വടക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവിനോടു പൊരുതാതിരിക്കും.

8. మరియు అతడు వారి దేవతలను సొమ్ములను విలువగల వారి వెండి బంగారు వస్తువులను సహా చెరపట్టి ఐగుప్తునకు తీసికొనిపోవును. అతడైతే కొన్ని సంవత్సరములు ఉత్తర దేశపురాజు ప్రభుత్వము కంటె ఎక్కువ ప్రభుత్వము చేయును.

9. അവന് തെക്കെ ദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവിന്റെ രാജ്യത്തേക്കു ചെന്നു സ്വദേശത്തേക്കു മടങ്ങിപ്പോരും.

9. అతడు దక్షిణ దేశపురాజు దేశములో జొరబడి మరలి తన రాజ్యమునకు వచ్చును.

10. അവന്റെ പുത്രന്മാരോ വീണ്ടും യുദ്ധം ആരംഭിക്കയും ബഹുപുരുഷാരം അടങ്ങിയ മഹാസൈന്യങ്ങളെ ശേഖരിക്കയും ചെയ്യും; അതു വന്നു കവിഞ്ഞു കടന്നുപോകും; പിന്നെ അവന് മടങ്ങിച്ചെന്നു അവന്റെ കോട്ടവരെ യുദ്ധം നടത്തും

10. అతని కుమారులు యుద్ధము చేయబూని మహాసైన్యముల సమూహమును సమకూర్చుకొందురు. అతడు వచ్చి యేరువలె ప్రవహించి ఉప్పొంగును; యుద్ధము చేయబూని కోటదనుక వచ్చును.

11. അപ്പോള് തെക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവു ദ്വേഷ്യംപൂണ്ടു പുറപ്പെട്ടു വടക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവിനോടു യുദ്ധം ചെയ്യും; അവന് വലിയോരു സമൂഹത്തെ അണിനിരത്തും; എന്നാല് ആ സമൂഹം മറ്റവന്റെ കയ്യില് ഏല്പിക്കപ്പെടും.

11. అంతలో దక్షిణదేశపు రాజు అత్యుగ్రుడై బయలుదేరి ఉత్తరదేశపురాజుతో యుద్ధము జరిగించును; ఉత్తరదేశపురాజు గొప్పసైన్యమును సమకూర్చుకొనినను అది ఓడిపోవును.

12. ആ ജനസമൂഹം മുടിഞ്ഞുപോകും; അവന്റെ ഹൃദയം ഗര്വ്വിച്ചു, അവന് പതിനായിരം പതിനായിരം പേരെ വീഴുമാറാക്കും; എങ്കിലും അവന് പ്രാബല്യം പ്രാപിക്കയില്ല.

12. ఆ గొప్ప సైన్యము ఓడిపోయినందున దక్షిణదేశపు రాజు మనస్సున అతిశయపడును; వేలకొలది సైనికులను హతము చేసినను అతనికి జయము కానేరదు.

13. വടക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവു മടങ്ങിവന്നു, മുമ്പിലത്തേതിനെക്കാള് വലിയോരു ജനസമൂഹത്തെ അണിനിരത്തും; ചില സംവത്സരം കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടു അവന് വലിയോരു സൈന്യത്തോടും വളരെ സമ്പത്തോടുംകൂടെ പോരും.

13. ఏలయనగా ఉత్తర దేశపురాజు మొదటి సైన్యముకంటె ఇంక గొప్ప సైన్యమును సమకూర్చుకొని మరల వచ్చును. ఆ కాలాంతమున, అనగా కొన్ని సంవత్సరములైన పిమ్మట అతడు గొప్ప సైన్యమును విశేషమైన సామగ్రిని సమకూర్చి నిశ్చయముగా వచ్చును.

14. ആ കാലത്തു പലരും തെക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവിന്റെ നേരെ എഴുന്നേലക്കും; നിന്റെ ജനത്തിലുള്ള അക്രമികള് ദര്ശനത്തെ നിവര്ത്തിപ്പാന് തക്കവണ്ണം മത്സരിക്കും; എങ്കിലും അവര് ഇടറിവീഴും.

14. ఆ కాలములయందు అనేకులు దక్షిణదేశపు రాజుతో యుద్ధము చేయుటకు కూడివచ్చెదరు. నీ జనములోని బందిపోటు దొంగలు దర్శనమును రుజువుపరచునట్లు కూడుదురు గాని నిలువలేక కూలుదురు.

15. എന്നാല് വടക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവു വന്നു വാടകോരി ഉറപ്പുള്ള പട്ടണങ്ങളെ പിടിക്കും; തെക്കെപടക്കൂട്ടങ്ങളും അവന്റെ ശ്രേഷ്ഠജനവും ഉറെച്ചുനില്ക്കയില്ല; ഉറെച്ചുനില്പാന് അവര്ക്കും ശക്തിയുണ്ടാകയുമില്ല.

15. అంతలో ఉత్తరదేశపురాజు వచ్చి ముట్టడి దిబ్బ వేయును. దక్షిణ దేశపు రాజుయొక్క బలము నిలువలేకపోయినందునను, అతడు ఏర్పరచుకొనిన జనము దృఢశౌర్యము పొందక పోయినందునను ఉత్తరదేశపు రాజు ప్రాకారములుగల పట్టణమును పట్టుకొనును.

16. അവന്റെ നേരെ വരുന്നവന് ഇഷ്ടംപോലെ പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കും. ആരും അവന്റെ മുമ്പാകെ നില്ക്കയില്ല; അവന് മനോഹരദേശത്തുനിലക്കും; അവന്റെ കയ്യില് സംഹാരം ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കും.

16. వచ్చినవాని కెదురుగా ఎవరును నిలువలేక పోయినందున తనకిష్టమువచ్చినట్టు అతడు జరిగించును గనుక ఆనందముగల ఆ దేశములో అతడుండగా అది అతని బలమువలన పాడైపోవును.

17. അവന് തന്റെ സര്വ്വരാജ്യത്തിന്റെയും ശക്തിയോടുകൂടെ വരുവാന് താല്പര്യം വേക്കും; എന്നാല് അവന് അവനോടു ഒരു ഉടമ്പടി ചെയ്തു, അവന്നു നാശത്തിന്നായി തന്റെ മകളെ ഭാര്യയായി കൊടുക്കും; എങ്കിലും അവള് നില്ക്കയില്ല; അവന്നു ഇരിക്കയുമില്ല.

17. అతడు తన రాజ్యముయొక్క సమస్త బలమును కూర్చుకొని రావలెనని ఉద్దేశింపగా అతనితో సంధిచేయబడును; ఏమనగా నశింపజేయవచ్చునని యొక కుమార్తెను అతని కిచ్చెదరు, అయితే ఆమె సమ్మతింపక అతని కలిసికొనదు.

18. പിന്നെ അവന് തീരപ്രദേശങ്ങളിലേക്കു മുഖം തിരിച്ചു പലതും പിടിക്കും; എന്നാല് അവന് കാണിച്ച നിന്ദ ഒരു അധിപതി നിര്ത്തലാക്കും; അത്രയുമല്ല, അവന്റെ നിന്ദ അവന്റെമേല് തന്നേ വരുത്തും.

18. అతడు ద్వీపముల జనములతట్టు తన మనస్సును త్రిప్పుకొని యనేకులను పట్టుకొనును. అయితే అతనివలన కలిగిన యవమానమును ఒక యధికారి నివారణచేయును. మరియు ఆయన యవమానము అతనిమీదికి మరల వచ్చునట్లు చేయును, అది అతనికి రాకతప్పదు.

19. പിന്നെ അവന് സ്വദേശത്തിലെ കോട്ടകളുടെ നേരെ മുഖം തിരിക്കും; എങ്കിലും അവന് ഇടറിവീണു, ഇല്ലാതെയാകും;

19. అప్పుడతడు తన ముఖమును తన దేశములోని కోటలతట్టు త్రిప్పుకొనును గాని ఆటంకపడి కూలి అగుపడకపోవును.

20. അവന്നു പകരം എഴുന്നേലക്കുന്നവന് തന്റെ രാജ്യത്തിന്റെ മനോഹരഭാഗത്തുകൂടി ഒരു അപഹാരിയെ അയ്യക്കും; എങ്കിലും കുറെ ദിവസത്തിന്നകം അവന് സംഹരിക്കപ്പെടും. കോപത്താലല്ല, യുദ്ധത്താലുമല്ല.

20. అతనికి మారుగా మరియొకడు లేచి ఘనమైన రాజ్యము ద్వారా పన్నుపుచ్చుకొను వానిని లేపును; కొన్ని దినము లైన పిమ్మట అతడు నాశనమగును గాని యీ నాశనము ఆగ్రహమువలననైనను యుద్ధమువలననైనను కలుగదు.

21. അവന്നു പകരം നിന്ദ്യനായ ഒരുത്തന് എഴുന്നേലക്കും; അവന്നു അവര് രാജത്വത്തിന്റെ പദവി കൊടുപ്പാന് വിചാരിച്ചിരുന്നില്ല; എങ്കിലും അവന് സമാധാനകാലത്തു വന്നു ഉപായത്തോടെ രാജത്വം കൈവശമാക്കും.

21. అతనికి బదులుగా నీచుడగు ఒకడు వచ్చును; అతనికి రాజ్యఘనత నియ్యరుగాని నెమ్మది కాలమందు అతడువచ్చి యిచ్చకపు మాటలచేత రాజ్యమును అపహరించును.

22. പ്രാളയതുല്യമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളും നിയമത്തിന്റെ പ്രഭുവും കൂടെ അവന്റെ മുമ്പില് പ്രവഹിക്കപ്പെട്ടു തകര്ന്നുപോകും.

22. ప్రవాహమువంటి బలము అతని యెదుటనుండి వారిని కొట్టుకొని పోవుటవలన వారు నాశనమగుదురు; సంధి చేసిన అధిపతి సహా నాశనమగును.

23. ആരെങ്കിലും അവനോടു സഖ്യത ചെയ്താല് അവന് വഞ്ചന പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കും; അവന് പുറപ്പെട്ടു അല്പം പടജ്ജനവുമായി വന്നു ജയം പ്രാപിക്കും.

23. అతడు సంధిచేసినను మోసపుచ్చును. అతడు స్వల్పజనముగలవాడైనను ఎదురాడి బలము పొందును.

24. അവന് സമാധാനകാലത്തു തന്നേ സംസ്ഥാനത്തിലെ പുഷ്ടിയേറിയ സ്ഥലങ്ങളില് വന്നു, തന്റെ പിതാക്കന്മാരോ പിതാമഹന്മാരോ ഒരുനാളും ചെയ്യാത്തതു ചെയ്യും; അവന് കവര്ച്ചയും കൊള്ളയും സമ്പത്തും അവര്ക്കും വിതറിക്കൊടുക്കും; അവന് കോട്ടകളുടെ നേരെ ഉപായം പ്രയോഗിക്കും; എന്നാല് കുറെക്കാലത്തേക്കേയുള്ളു.

24. అతడు సమాధాన క్షేమముగల దేశమునకు వచ్చి, తన పితరులు కాని తన పితరుల పితరులు గాని చేయనిదానిని చేయును; ఏదనగా అచ్చట ఆస్తిని, దోపుడుసొమ్మును, ధనమును విభజించి తనవారికి పంచి పెట్టును. అంతట కొంతకాలము ప్రాకారములను పట్టుకొనుటకు కుట్రచేయును

25. അവന് ഒരു മഹാസൈന്യത്തോടു കൂടെ തെക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവിന്റെ നേരെ തന്റെ ശക്തിയും ധൈര്യവും പ്രയോഗിക്കും; തെക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവും ഏറ്റവും വലിയതും ശക്തിയേറിയതുമായ സൈന്യത്തോടുകൂടെ യുദ്ധത്തിന്നു പുറപ്പെടും; എങ്കിലും അവര് അവന്റെ നേരെ ഉപായം പ്രയോഗിക്കകൊണ്ടു അവന് ഉറെച്ചു നില്ക്കയില്ല.

25. అతడు గొప్ప సైన్యమును సమకూర్చుకొని, దక్షిణదేశపు రాజుతో యుద్ధము చేయుటకు తన బలమును సిద్ధపరచి, తన మనస్సును రేపుకొనును గనుక దక్షిణదేశపు రాజు గొప్ప సైన్యమును సమకూర్చు కొని మహా బలముగలవాడై యుద్ధమునకు సిద్ధపడును. అతడు దక్షిణ దేశపురాజునకు విరోధమైన ఉపాయములు చేయనుద్దేశించినందున ఆ రాజు నిలువలేకపోవును.

26. അവന്റെ അന്നംകൊണ്ടു ഉപജീവനം കഴിക്കുന്നവന് അവനെ നശിപ്പിക്കും; അവന്റെ സൈന്യം ഒഴുകിപ്പേകും; പലരും നിഹതന്മാരായി വീഴും.

26. ఏమనగా, అతని భోజనమును భుజించువారు అతని పాడు చేసెదరు; మరియు అతని సైన్యము ఓడిపోవును గనుక అనేకులు హతులవుదురు.

27. ഈ രാജാക്കന്മാര് ഇരുവരും ദുഷ്ടത പ്രവര്ത്തിപ്പാന് ഭാവിച്ചുംകൊണ്ടു ഒരേ മേശയിങ്കല്വെച്ചു ഭോഷകു സംസാരിക്കും; എങ്കിലും അതു സാധിക്കയില്ല; നിയമിക്കപ്പെട്ട സമയത്തു മാത്രമേ അവസാനം വരികയുള്ളു.

27. కీడుచేయుటకై ఆ యిద్దరు రాజులు తమ మనస్సులు స్థిరపరచుకొని, యేకభోజన పంక్తిలో కూర్చుండినను కపటవాక్యములాడెదరు; నిర్ణయ కాలమందు సంగతి జరుగును గనుక వారి ఆలోచన సఫలము కానేరదు.

28. പിന്നെ അവന് വളരെ സമ്പത്തോടുംകൂടെ സ്വദേശത്തേക്കു മടങ്ങിപ്പോകും; അവന് വിശുദ്ധ നിയമത്തിന്നു വിരോധമായി മനോഗതം വെച്ചു, അതു അനുഷ്ഠിച്ചു സ്വദേശത്തേക്കു മടങ്ങിപ്പോകും.

28. అతడు మిగుల ద్రవ్యముగలవాడై తన దేశమునకు మరలును. మరియు పరిశుద్ధ నిబంధనకు విరోధియై యిష్టానుసారముగా జరిగించి తన దేశమునకు తిరిగి వచ్చును.

29. നിയമിക്കപ്പെട്ട കാലത്തു അവന് വീണ്ടും തെക്കോട്ടു വരും; എങ്കിലും ഈ പ്രാവശ്യം മുമ്പിലത്തെപ്പോലെ സാദ്ധ്യമാകയില്ല.

29. నిర్ణయకాలమందు మరలి దక్షిణదిక్కునకు వచ్చునుగాని మొదట నున్నట్టుగా కడపటనుండదు.

30. കിത്തീംകപ്പലുകള് അവന്റെ നേരെ വരും; അതുകൊണ്ടു അവന് വ്യസനിച്ചു മടങ്ങിച്ചെന്നു, വിശുദ്ധനിയമത്തിന്നു നേരെ ക്രുദ്ധിച്ചു പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കും; അവന് മടങ്ങിച്ചെന്നു വിശുദ്ധനിയമത്തെ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കുന്നവരെ ആദരിച്ചുകൊള്ളും.

30. అంతట కిత్తీయుల ఓడలు అతనిమీదికి వచ్చుటవలన అతడు వ్యాకులపడి మరలి, పరిశుద్ధ నిబంధన విషయములో అత్యాగ్రహముగలవాడై, తన యిష్టానుసారముగా జరిగించును. అతడు మరలి పరిశుద్ధ నిబంధనను నిషేధించిన వారెవరని విచారించును.

31. അവന് അയച്ച സൈന്യങ്ങള് അണിനിരന്നു, വിശുദ്ധമന്ദിരമായ കോട്ടയെ അശുദ്ധമാക്കി നിരന്തരഹോമം നിര്ത്തല്ചെയ്തു ശൂന്യമാക്കുന്ന മ്ളേച്ഛ ബിംബത്തെ പ്രതിഷ്ഠിക്കും.
മത്തായി 24:15, മർക്കൊസ് 13:14

31. అతని పక్షమున శూరులు లేచి, పరిశుద్ధస్థలపు కోటను అపవిత్రపరచి, అనుదిన బలి నిలిపివేసి, నాశనమును కలుగజేయు హేయమైన వస్తువును నిలువబెట్టుదురు.

32. നിയമത്തിന്നു വിരോധമായി ദുഷ്ടത പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കുന്നവരെ അവന് ഉപായംകൊണ്ടു വഷളാക്കും; എങ്കിലും തങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവത്തെ അറിയുന്ന ജനം ഉറെച്ചുനിന്നു വീര്യം പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കും.

32. అందుకతడు ఇచ్చకపుమాటలు చెప్పి నిబంధన నతిక్రమించువారిని వశపరచుకొనును; అయితే తమ దేవుని నెరుగువారు బలముకలిగి గొప్ప కార్యములు చేసెదరు.

33. ജനത്തില് ബുദ്ധിമാന്മാരായവര് പലര്ക്കും ബോധം വരുത്തും; എങ്കിലും കുറെക്കാലത്തേക്കു അവര് വാള് കൊണ്ടും തീകൊണ്ടും പ്രവാസംകൊണ്ടും കവര്ച്ചകൊണ്ടും വീണുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കും;

33. జనములో బుద్ధిమంతులు ఆనేకులకు బోధించుదురు గాని వారు బహు దినములు ఖడ్గమువలనను అగ్ని వలనను క్రుంగి చెరపట్టబడి హింసింపబడి దోచబడుదురు.

34. വീഴുമ്പോള് അവര് അല്പസഹായത്താല് രക്ഷപ്രാപിക്കും; പലരും കപടഭാവത്തോടെ അവരോടു ചേര്ന്നുകൊള്ളും.

34. వారు క్రుంగిపోవు సమయమందు వారికి స్వల్ప సహాయము దొరుకును, అయితే అనేకులు ఇచ్చకపు మాటలు చెప్పి వారిని హత్తుకొందురు గాని

35. എന്നാല് അന്ത്യകാലംവരെ അവരില് പരിശോധനയും ശുദ്ധീകരണവും നിര്മ്മലീകരണവും സാധിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ബുദ്ധിമാന്മാരില് ചിലര് വീഴും; നിശ്ചയിക്കപ്പെട്ടകാലത്തു മാത്രം അന്തം വരും.

35. నిర్ణయకాలము ఇంక రాలేదు గనుక అంత్యకాలమువరకు జనులను పరిశీలించుటకును పవిత్రపరచుటకును బుద్ధిమంతులలో కొందరు కూలుదురు.

36. രാജാവേ, ഇഷ്ടംപോലെ പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കും; അവന് തന്നെത്താന് ഉയര്ത്തി, ഏതു ദേവന്നും മേലായി മഹത്വീകരിക്കയും ദൈവാധിദൈവത്തിന്റെ നേരെ അപൂര്വ്വകാര്യങ്ങളെ സംസാരിക്കയും, കോപം നിവൃത്തിയാകുവോളം അവന്നു സാധിക്കയും ചെയ്യും; നിര്ണ്ണയിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നതു സംഭവിക്കുമല്ലോ.
2 തെസ്സലൊനീക്യർ 2:4, വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 13:5

36. ఆ రాజు ఇష్టానుసారముగా జరిగించి తన్ను తానే హెచ్చించుకొనుచు అతిశయపడుచు, ప్రతి దేవత మీదను దేవాది దేవునిమీదను గర్వముగా మాటలాడుచు ఉగ్రత సమాప్తియగువరకు వృద్ధిపొందును; అంతట నిర్ణయించినది జరుగును.

37. അവന് എല്ലാറ്റിന്നും മേലായി തന്നെത്താല് മഹത്വീകരിക്കയാല് തന്റെ പിതാക്കന്മാരുടെ ദേവന്മാരെയും സ്ത്രീകളുടെ ഇഷ്ടദേവനെയും യാതൊരു ദേവനെയും കൂട്ടാക്കുകയില്ല.
2 തെസ്സലൊനീക്യർ 2:4, വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 13:5

37. అతడు అందరికంటె ఎక్కువగా తన్నుతాను హెచ్చించుకొనును గనుక తన పితరుల దేవతలను లక్ష్యపెట్టడు; మరియు స్త్రీలకాంక్షితా దేవతను గాని, యే దేవతను గాని లక్ష్యపెట్టడు.

38. അതിന്നു പകരം അവന് കോട്ടകളുടെ ദേവനെ ബഹുമാനിക്കും; അവന്റെ പിതാക്കന്മാര് അറിയാത്ത ഒരു ദേവനെ അവന് പൊന്നു കൊണ്ടും വെള്ളികൊണ്ടും രത്നങ്ങള്കൊണ്ടും മനോഹരവസ്തുക്കള്കൊണ്ടും ബഹുമാനിക്കും.

38. అతడు తన పితరులెరుగని దేవతను, అనగా ప్రాకారముల దేవతను వారి దేవతకు మారుగా ఘనపరచును; బంగారును వెండిని విలువగల రాళ్లను మనోహరమైన వస్తువులను అర్పించి, ఆ దేవతను ఘనపరచును.

39. അവന് ഒരു അന്യദേവന്റെ ജനത്തെ കോട്ടകളുടെ കൊത്തളങ്ങളിന്മേല് ആക്കിവേക്കും; അവനെ സ്വീകരിക്കുന്നവന്നു അവന് മഹത്വം വര്ദ്ധിപ്പിക്കും; അവന് അവരെ പലര്ക്കും അധിപതികളാക്കി ദേശത്തെ പ്രതിഫലമായി വിഭാഗിച്ചുകൊടുക്കും.

39. మరియు ఈ క్రొత్త దేవతను ఆధారముచేసికొని, కోటలకు ప్రాకారములు కట్టించి, నూతన విధముగా తనవారికి మహా ఘనత కలుగజేయును; దేశమును క్రయమునకు విభజించి యిచ్చి అనేకులమీద తనవారికి ప్రభుత్వమిచ్చును.

40. പിന്നെ അന്ത്യകാലത്തു തെക്കെദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവു അവനോടു എതിര്ത്തുമുട്ടും; വടക്കെ ദേശത്തിലെ രാജാവു രഥങ്ങളോടും കുതിരച്ചേവകരോടും വളരെ കപ്പലുകളോടും കൂടെ ചുഴലിക്കാറ്റുപോലെ അവന്റെ നേരെ വരും; അവന് ദേശങ്ങളിലേക്കു വന്നു കവിഞ്ഞു കടന്നുപോകും;

40. అంత్యకాలమందు దక్షిణ దేశపు రాజు అతనితో యుద్ధముచేయును. మరియు ఉత్తరదేశపు రాజు రథములను గుఱ్ఱపురౌతులను అనేకమైన ఓడలను సమకూర్చుకొని, తుపానువలె అతనిమీద పడి దేశముల మీదుగా ప్రవాహమువలె వెళ్లును.

41. അവന് മനോഹരദേശത്തിലേക്കും കടക്കും; പതിനായിരം പതിനായിരം പേര് ഇടറിവീഴും; എങ്കിലും എദോമും മോവാബും അമ്മോന്യശ്രേഷ്ഠന്മാരും അവന്റെ കയ്യില് നിന്നു വഴുതിപ്പോകും.
മത്തായി 24:10

41. అతడు ఆనందదేశమున ప్రవేశించుటవలన అనేకులు కూలుదురు గాని ఎదోమీయులును మోయాబీయులును అమ్మోనీయులలో ముఖ్యులును అతని చేతిలోనుండి తప్పించుకొనెదరు.

42. അവന് ദേശങ്ങളുടെ നേരെ കൈ നീട്ടും; മിസ്രയീംദേശവും ഒഴിഞ്ഞുപോകയില്ല.

42. అతడు ఇతర దేశములమీదికి తన సేన నంపించును; ఐగుప్తు సహా తప్పించుకొననేరదు.

43. അവന് പൊന്നും വെള്ളിയുമായ നിക്ഷേപങ്ങളെയും മിസ്രയീമിലെ മനോഹര വസ്തുക്കളെയും കൈവശമാക്കും; ലൂബ്യരും കൂശ്യരും അവന്റെ അനുചാരികള് ആയിരിക്കും.

43. అతడు విలువగల సమస్త బంగారు వెండి వస్తువులను ఐగుప్తుయొక్క విలువ గల వస్తువులన్నిటిని వశపరచుకొని, లుబీయులను కూషీయులను తనకు పాదసేవకులుగా చేయును.

44. എന്നാല് കിഴക്കുനിന്നും വടക്കുനിന്നും ഉള്ള വര്ത്തമാനങ്ങളാല് അവന് പരവശനാകും; അങ്ങനെ അവന് പലരെയും നശിപ്പിച്ചു നിര്മ്മൂലനാശം വരുത്തേണ്ടതിന്നു മഹാ ക്രോധത്തോടെ പുറപ്പെടും. പിന്നെ അവന് സമുദ്രത്തിന്നും മഹത്വമുള്ള വിശുദ്ധപര്വ്വതത്തിന്നും മദ്ധ്യേ മണിപ്പന്തല് ഇടും; അവിടെ അവന് അന്തരിക്കും; ആരും അവനെ രക്ഷിക്കയുമില്ല.

44. అంతట తూర్పునుండియు ఉత్తరమునుండియు వర్తమానములు వచ్చియతని కలతపరచును గనుక అత్యాగ్రహము కలిగి అనేకులను పాడుచేయుటకును నశింపజేయుటకును అతడు బయలుదేరును.
