دَانِيآل 11

١ 1 «وَأَنَا فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُولَى لِدَارِيُّوسَ ٱلْمَادِيِّ وَقَفْتُ لِأُشَدِّدَهُ وَأُقَوِّيَهُ.

“And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, my standing [is] for a strengthener, and for a stronghold to him;

٢ 2 وَٱلْآنَ أُخْبِرُكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ. هُوَذَا ثَلَاثَةُ مُلُوكٍ أَيْضًا يَقُومُونَ فِي فَارِسَ، وَٱلرَّابِعُ يَسْتَغْنِي بِغِنًى أَوْفَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِهِمْ، وَحَسَبَ قُوَّتِهِ بِغِنَاهُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلْجَمِيعَ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةِ ٱلْيُونَانِ.

and now, I declare to you truth: Behold, yet three kings are standing for Persia, and the fourth becomes far richer than all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirs up the whole, with the kingdom of Javan.

٣ 3 وَيَقُومُ مَلِكٌ جَبَّارٌ وَيَتَسَلَّطُ تَسَلُّطًا عَظِيمًا وَيَفْعَلُ حَسَبَ إِرَادَتِهِ.

And a mighty king has stood, and he has ruled a great dominion, and has done according to his will;

٤ 4 وَكَقِيَامِهِ تَنْكَسِرُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ وَتَنْقَسِمُ إِلَى رِيَاحِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِ، وَلَا لِعَقِبِهِ وَلَا حَسَبَ سُلْطَانِهِ ٱلَّذِي تَسَلَّطَ بِهِ، لِأَنَّ مَمْلَكَتَهُ تَنْقَرِضُ وَتَكُونُ لِآخَرِينَ غَيْرِ أُولَئِكَ.

and according to his standing is his kingdom broken, and divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom is plucked up—and for others apart from these.

٥ 5 وَيَتَقَوَّى مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. وَمِنْ رُؤَسَائِهِ مَنْ يَقْوَى عَلَيْهِ وَيَتَسَلَّطُ. تَسَلُّطٌ عَظِيمٌ تَسَلُّطُهُ.

And a king of the south—even of his princes—becomes strong, and prevails against him, and has ruled; a great dominion [is] his dominion.

٦ 6 وَبَعْدَ سِنِينَ يَتَعَاهَدَانِ، وَبِنْتُ مَلِكِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ تَأْتِي إِلَى مَلِكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ لِإِجْرَاءِ ٱلِٱتِّفَاقِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَضْبِطُ ٱلذِّرَاعُ قُوَّةً، وَلَا يَقُومُ هُوَ وَلَا ذِرَاعُهُ. وَتُسَلَّمُ هِيَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَتَوْا بِهَا وَٱلَّذِي وَلَدَهَا وَمَنْ قَوَّاهَا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَوْقَاتِ.

And at the end of years they join themselves together, and a daughter of the king of the south comes to the king of the north to do upright things; and she does not retain the power of the arm; and he does not stand, nor his arm; and she is given up, she, and those bringing her in, and her child, and he who is strengthening her in [these] times.

٧ 7 وَيَقُومُ مِنْ فَرْعِ أُصُولِهَا قَائِمٌ مَكَانَهُ، وَيَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ وَيَدْخُلُ حِصْنَ مَلِكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهِمْ وَيَقْوَى.

And [one] has stood up from a branch of her roots, [in] his station, and he comes to the bulwark, indeed, he comes into a stronghold of the king of the north, and has worked against them, and has done mightily;

٨ 8 وَيَسْبِي إِلَى مِصْرَ آلِهَتَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَ مَسْبُوكَاتِهِمْ وَآنِيَتِهِمِ ٱلثَّمِينَةِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، وَيَقْتَصِرُ سِنِينَ عَنْ مَلِكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ.

and also their gods, with their princes, with their desirable vessels of silver and gold, he brings in captivity [to] Egypt; and he stands more years than the king of the north.

٩ 9 فَيَدْخُلُ مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ.

And the king of the south has come into the kingdom, and turned back to his own land;

١٠ 10 «وَبَنُوهُ يَتَهَيَّجُونَ فَيَجْمَعُونَ جُمْهُورَ جُيُوشٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، وَيَأْتِي آتٍ وَيَغْمُرُ وَيَطْمُو وَيَرْجِعُ وَيُحَارِبُ حَتَّى إِلَى حِصْنِهِ.

and his sons stir themselves up, and have gathered a multitude of great forces, and he has certainly come in, and overflowed, and passed through, and he turns back, and they stir themselves up to his stronghold.

١١ 11 وَيَغْتَاظُ مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيُحَارِبُهُ أَيْ مَلِكَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَيُقِيمُ جُمْهُورًا عَظِيمًا فَيُسَلَّمُ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ فِي يَدِهِ.

And the king of the south becomes embittered, and has gone forth and fought with him, with the king of the north, and has caused a great multitude to stand, and the multitude has been given into his hand,

١٢ 12 فَإِذَا رُفِعَ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ يَرِتْفِعُ قَلْبُهُ وَيَطْرَحُ رَبَوَاتٍ وَلَا يَعْتَزُّ.

and he has carried away the multitude, his heart is high, and he has caused myriads to fall, and he does not become strong.

١٣ 13 فَيَرْجِعُ مَلِكُ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَيُقِيمُ جُمْهُورًا أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، وَيَأْتِي بَعْدَ حِينٍ، بَعْدَ سِنِينَ بِجَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ وَثَرْوَةٍ جَزِيلَةٍ.

And the king of the north has turned back, and has caused a multitude to stand, greater than the first, and at the end of the times a second time he certainly comes in with a great force, and with much substance;

١٤ 14 وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَوْقَاتِ يَقُومُ كَثِيرُونَ عَلَى مَلِكِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَبَنُو ٱلْعُتَاةِ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ يَقُومُونَ لِإِثْبَاتِ ٱلرُّؤْيَا وَيَعْثُرُونَ.

and in those times many stand up against the king of the south, and sons of the destroyers of your people lift themselves up to establish the vision—and they have stumbled.

١٥ 15 فَيَأْتِي مَلِكُ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَيُقِيمُ مِتْرَسَةً وَيَأْخُذُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ ٱلْحَصِينَةَ، فَلَا تَقُومُ أَمَامَهُ ذِرَاعَا ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَلَا قَوْمُهُ ٱلْمُنْتَخَبُ، وَلَا تَكُونُ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ لِلْمُقَاوَمَةِ.

And the king of the north comes in, and pours out a mound, and has captured fortified cities; and the arms of the south do not stand, nor the people of his choice, indeed, there is no power to stand.

١٦ 16 وَٱلْآتِي عَلَيْهِ يَفْعَلُ كَإِرَادَتِهِ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقِفُ أَمَامَهُ، وَيَقُومُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْبَهِيَّةِ وَهِيَ بِٱلتَّمَامِ بِيَدِهِ.

And he who is coming to him does according to his will, and there is none standing before him; and he stands in the desirable land, and [it is] wholly in his hand.

١٧ 17 وَيَجْعَلُ وَجْهَهُ لِيَدْخُلَ بِسُلْطَانِ كُلِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ، وَيَجْعَلُ مَعَهُ صُلْحًا، وَيُعْطِيهِ بِنْتَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ لِيُفْسِدَهَا، فَلَا تَثْبُتَ وَلَا تَكُونَ لَهُ.

And he sets his face to go in with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he has worked, and the daughter of women he gives to him, to corrupt her; and she does not stand, nor is for him.

١٨ 18 وَيُحَوِّلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى ٱلْجَزَائِرِ وَيَأْخُذُ كَثِيرًا مِنْهَا، وَيُزِيلُ رَئِيسٌ تَعْيِيرَهُ فَضْلًا عَنْ رَدِّ تَعْيِيرِهِ عَلَيْهِ.

And he turns back his face to the islands, and has captured many; and a prince has caused his reproach of himself to cease; without his reproach he turns [it] back to him.

١٩ 19 وَيُحَوِّلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى حُصُونِ أَرْضِهِ وَيَعْثُرُ وَيَسْقُطُ وَلَا يُوجَدُ.

And he turns back his face to the strongholds of his land, and has stumbled and fallen, and is not found.

٢٠ 20 «فَيَقُومُ مَكَانَهُ مَنْ يُعَبِّرُ جَابِيَ ٱلْجِزْيَةِ فِي فَخْرِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ، وَفِي أَيَّامٍ قَلِيلَةٍ يَنْكَسِرُ لَا بِغَضَبٍ وَلَا بِحَرْبٍ.

And stood up on his station has [one] causing an exactor to pass over the honor of the kingdom, and in a few days he is destroyed, and not in anger, nor in battle.

٢١ 21 فَيَقُومُ مَكَانَهُ مُحْتَقَرٌ لَمْ يَجْعَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَخْرَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ، وَيَأْتِي بَغْتَةً وَيُمْسِكُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ بِٱلتَّمَلُّقَاتِ.

And a despicable one has stood up on his station, and they have not given to him the splendor of the kingdom, and he has come in quietly, and has strengthened the kingdom by flatteries.

٢٢ 22 وَأَذْرُعُ ٱلْجَارِفِ تُجْرَفُ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِ وَتَنْكَسِرُ، وَكَذَلِكَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْعَهْدِ.

And the arms of the flood are overflowed from before him, and are broken; and also the leader of the covenant.

٢٣ 23 وَمِنَ ٱلْمُعَاهَدَةِ مَعَهُ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْمَكْرِ وَيَصْعَدُ وَيَعْظُمُ بِقَوْمٍ قَلِيلٍ.

And after they join themselves to him, he works deceit, and has increased, and has been strong by a few of the nation.

٢٤ 24 يَدْخُلُ بَغْتَةً عَلَى أَسْمَنِ ٱلْبِلَادِ وَيَفْعَلُ مَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ آبَاؤُهُ وَلَا آبَاءُ آبَائِهِ. يَبْذُرُ بَيْنَهُمْ نَهْبًا وَغَنِيمَةً وَغِنًى، وَيُفَكِّرُ أَفْكَارَهُ عَلَى ٱلْحُصُونِ، وَذَلِكَ إِلَى حِينٍ.

Peaceably even into the fertile places of the province He comes, and he has done that which his fathers did not, nor his fathers’ fathers; prey, and spoil, and substance, he scatters to them, and against fortifications he devises his plans, even for a time.

٢٥ 25 وَيُنْهِضُ قُوَّتَهُ وَقَلْبَهُ عَلَى مَلِكِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ بِجَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَمَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ يَتَهَيَّجُ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ بِجَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقَوِيٍّ جِدًّا، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَثْبُتُ لِأَنَّهُمْ يُدَبِّرُونَ عَلَيْهِ تَدَابِيرَ.

And he stirs up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great force, and the king of the south stirs himself up to battle with a very great and mighty force, and does not stand, for they devise plans against him,

٢٦ 26 وَٱلْآكِلُونَ أَطَايِبَهُ يَكْسِرُونَهُ، وَجَيْشُهُ يَطْمُو، وَيَسْقُطُ كَثِيرُونَ قَتْلَى.

and those eating his portion of food destroy him, and his force overflows, and many wounded have fallen.

٢٧ 27 وَهَذَانِ ٱلْمَلِكَانِ قَلْبُهُمَا لِفِعْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَيَتَكَلَّمَانِ بِٱلْكَذِبِ عَلَى مَائِدَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَلَا يَنْجَحُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلِٱنْتِهَاءَ بَعْدُ إِلَى مِيعَادٍ.

And both of the kings’ hearts [are] to do evil, and at one table they speak lies, and it does not prosper, for yet the end [is] at a time appointed.

٢٨ 28 فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ بِغِنًى جَزِيلٍ وَقَلْبُهُ عَلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ، فَيَعْمَلُ وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ.

And he turns back [to] his land with great substance, and his heart [is] against the holy covenant, and he has worked, and turned back to his land.

٢٩ 29 «وَفِي ٱلْمِيعَادِ يَعُودُ وَيَدْخُلُ ٱلْجَنُوبَ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَكُونُ ٱلْآخِرُ كَٱلْأَوَّلِ.

At the appointed time he turns back, and has come against the south, and it is not as the former, and as the latter.

٣٠ 30 فَتَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ سُفُنٌ مِنْ كِتِّيمَ فَيَيْئَسُ وَيَرْجِعُ وَيَغْتَاظُ عَلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ، وَيَعْمَلُ وَيَرْجِعُ وَيَصْغَى إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكُوا ٱلْعَهْدَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَ.

And ships of Chittim have come in against him, and he has been pained, and has turned back, and has been insolent toward the holy covenant, and has worked, and turned back, and he understands concerning those forsaking the holy covenant.

٣١ 31 وَتَقُومُ مِنْهُ أَذْرُعٌ وَتُنَجِّسُ ٱلْمَقْدِسَ ٱلْحَصِينَ، وَتَنْزِعُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةَ ٱلدَّائِمَةَ، وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلرِّجْسَ ٱلْمُخَرِّبَ.

And strong ones stand up out of him, and have defiled the sanctuary, the stronghold, and have turned aside the continual [sacrifice], and appointed the desolating abomination.

٣٢ 32 وَٱلْمُتَعَدُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ يُغْوِيهِمْ بِٱلتَّمَلُّقَاتِ. أَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ إِلَهَهُمْ فَيَقْوَوْنَ وَيَعْمَلُونَ.

And those acting wickedly [against] the covenant, he defiles by flatteries; and the people knowing their God are strong, and have worked.

٣٣ 33 وَٱلْفَاهِمُونَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ يُعَلِّمُونَ كَثِيرِينَ. وَيَعْثُرُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَبِاللَّهِيبِ وَبِالسَّبْيِ وَبِالنَّهْبِ أَيَّامًا.

And the teachers of the people give understanding to many; and they have stumbled by sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil—days.

٣٤ 34 فَإِذَا عَثَرُوا يُعَانُونَ عَوْنًا قَلِيلًا، وَيَتَّصِلُ بِهِمْ كَثِيرُونَ بِٱلتَّمَلُّقَاتِ.

And in their stumbling, they are helped—a little help, and joined to them have been many with flatteries.

٣٥ 35 وَبَعْضُ ٱلْفَاهِمِينَ يَعْثُرُونَ ٱمْتِحَانًا لَهُمْ لِلتَّطْهِيرِ وَلِلتَّبْيِيضِ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. لِأَنَّهُ بَعْدُ إِلَى ٱلْمِيعَادِ.

And some of the teachers stumble for refining by them, and for purifying, and for making white—until the end of the time, for [it is] yet for a time appointed.

٣٦ 36 «وَيَفْعَلُ ٱلْمَلِكُ كَإِرَادَتِهِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ وَيَتَعَظَّمُ عَلَى كُلِّ إِلَهٍ، وَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِأُمُورٍ عَجِيبَةٍ عَلَى إِلَهِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ، وَيَنْجَحُ إِلَى إِتْمَامِ ٱلْغَضَبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَقْضِيَّ بِهِ يُجْرَى.

And the king has done according to his will, and exalts himself, and magnifies himself against every god, and he speaks wonderful things against the God of gods, and has prospered until the indignation has been completed, for that which is determined has been done.

٣٧ 37 وَلَا يُبَالِي بِآلِهَةِ آبَائِهِ وَلَا بِشَهْوَةِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ، وَبِكُلِّ إِلَهٍ لَا يُبَالِي لِأَنَّهُ يَتَعَظَّمُ عَلَى ٱلْكُلِّ.

And to the God of his fathers he does not attend, nor to the desire of women, indeed, he does not attend to any god, for he magnifies himself against all.

٣٨ 38 وَيُكْرِمُ إِلَهَ ٱلْحُصُونِ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَإِلَهًا لَمْ تَعْرِفْهُ آبَاؤُهُ، يُكْرِمُهُ بِٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَبِالْحِجَارَةِ ٱلْكَرِيمَةِ وَٱلنَّفَائِسِ.

And to the god of strongholds, on his station, he gives honor; indeed, to a god whom his fathers did not know he gives honor, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stone, and with desirable things.

٣٩ 39 وَيَفْعَلُ فِي ٱلْحُصُونِ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ بِإِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ. مَنْ يَعْرِفُهُ يَزِيدُهُ مَجْدًا، وَيُسَلِّطُهُمْ عَلَى كَثِيرِينَ، وَيَقْسِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أُجْرَةً.

And he has dealt in the fortresses of the strongholds with a strange god whom he has acknowledged; he multiplies honor, and has caused them to rule over many, and the ground he apportions at a price.

٤٠ 40 «فَفِي وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ يُحَارِبُهُ مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، فَيَثُورُ عَلَيْهِ مَلِكُ ٱلشِّمَالِ بِمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَبِفُرْسَانٍ وَبِسُفُنٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَيَدْخُلُ ٱلْأَرَاضِيَ وَيَجْرُفُ وَيَطْمُو.

And at the time of the end, a king of the south pushes himself forward with him, and a king of the north storms against him, with chariot, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he has come into the lands, and has overflowed, and passed over,

٤١ 41 وَيَدْخُلُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْبَهِيَّةِ فَيُعْثَرُ كَثِيرُونَ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ يُفْلِتُونَ مِنْ يَدِهِ: أَدُومُ وَمُوآبُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

and has come into the desirable land, and many stumble, and these escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.

٤٢ 42 وَيَمُدُّ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَأَرْضُ مِصْرَ لَا تَنْجُو.

And he sends forth his hand on the lands, and the land of Egypt is not for an escape;

٤٣ 43 وَيَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى كُنُوزِ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ نَفَائِسِ مِصْرَ. وَٱللُّوبِيُّونَ وَٱلْكُوشِيُّونَ عِنْدَ خُطُوَاتِهِ.

and he has ruled over treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt, and Lubim and Cushim [are] at his steps.

٤٤ 44 وَتُفْزِعُهُ أَخْبَارٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّرْقِ وَمِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، فَيَخْرُجُ بِغَضَبٍ عَظِيمٍ لِيُخْرِبَ وَلِيُحَرِّمَ كَثِيرِينَ.

And reports trouble him out of the east and out of the north, and he has gone forth in great fury to destroy, and to devote many to destruction;

٤٥ 45 وَيَنْصُبُ فُسْطَاطَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْبُحُورِ وَجَبَلِ بَهَاءِ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَيَبْلُغُ نِهَايَتَهُ وَلَا مُعِينَ لَهُ.

and he plants the tents of his palace between the seas and the holy desirable mountain, and has come to his end, and there is no helper to him.”
