但以理书 11
1 又说：“当米底亚王大流士元年，我曾起来扶助米迦勒，使他坚强。”
"And as for me, in the first year of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.
2 现在我将真事指示你： “波斯还有三王兴起，第四王必富足远胜诸王。他因富足成为强盛，就必激动大众攻击希腊国。
And now what I show you is true. Look, there shall arise three more kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all the kingdom of Greece.
3 必有一个勇敢的王兴起，执掌大权，随意而行。
And a powerful king shall arise, who shall rule an extensive empire, and do as he pleases.
4 他兴起的时候，他的国必破裂，向天的四方分开，却不归他的后裔，治国的权势也都不及他；因为他的国必被拔出，归与他后裔之外的人。
When he shall arise, his kingdom shall be broken up, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, and will go to others besides these.
5 “南方的王必强盛，他将帅中必有一个比他更强盛，执掌权柄，他的权柄甚大。
The king of the south shall grow strong, and one of his officers shall grow more powerful, and shall have a greater kingdom than his.
6 过些年后，他们必互相连合，南方王的女儿必就了北方王来立约；但这女子帮助之力存立不住，王和他所倚靠之力也不能存立。这女子和引导她来的，并生她的，以及当时扶助她的，都必交与死地。
At the end of years they shall join themselves together; 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 her power; neither shall his strength endure; but she shall be surrendered, and her attendants, and he who became the father of her, and he who supported her in those times.
7 但这女子的本家必另生一子继续王位，他必率领军队进入北方王的保障，攻击他们，而且得胜；
But out of a shoot from her roots shall arise in his place, who shall come against the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
8 并将他们的神像和铸成的偶像，与金银的宝器掠到埃及去。数年之内，他不去攻击北方的王。
Also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall withdraw for some years from the king of the north.
9 北方的王必入南方王的国，却要仍回本地。
And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
10 “北方王的二子必动干戈，招聚许多军兵。这军兵前去，如洪水泛滥，又必再去争战，直到南方王的保障。
And his sons shall wage war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance and overflow and pass through, and they shall return and wage war, as far as his fortress.
11 南方王必发烈怒，出来与北方王争战，摆列大军；北方王的军兵必交付他手。
The king of the south shall be moved with rage and shall come forth and fight against him, even with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
12 他的众军高傲，他的心也必自高；他虽使数万人仆倒，却不得常胜。
The multitude shall be taken away, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
13 “北方王必回来摆列大军，比先前的更多。满了所定的年数，他必率领大军，带极多的军装来。
The king of the north shall return, and shall raise a multitude greater than the former; and he shall advance after some years with a great army and with abundant supplies.
14 那时，必有许多人起来攻击南方王，并且你本国的强暴人必兴起，要应验那异象，他们却要败亡。
And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south: also the violent ones among your people shall rise up in confirmation of the vision; but they shall fail.
15 北方王必来筑垒攻取坚固城；南方的军兵必站立不住，就是选择的精兵也无力站住。
So the king of the north shall come, and build up a siege mound and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not prevail, neither his best troops, neither shall there be any strength to resist.
16 来攻击他的，必任意而行，无人在北方王面前站立得住。他必站在那荣美之地，用手施行毁灭。
But he who comes against him shall do as he pleases, and no one shall be able to withstand him. And he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction will be within his power.
17 “他必定意用全国之力而来，立公正的约，照约而行，将自己的女儿给南方王为妻，想要败坏他，这计却不得成就，与自己毫无益处。
He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with him which he shall put into effect. And he shall give him a daughter of women to send destruction on him; but it will not last or be to his advantage.
18 其后他必转回夺取了许多海岛。但有一大帅，除掉他令人受的羞辱，并且使这羞辱归他本身。
After this shall he turn his face to the coastal regions, and shall capture many. But a commander shall bring his insolence to an end. In addition, he shall repay him for his insolence.
19 他就必转向本地的保障，却要绊跌仆倒，归于无有。
Then he shall turn his attention toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found again.
20 “那时，必有一人兴起接续他为王，使横征暴敛的人通行国中的荣美地。这王不多日就必灭亡，却不因忿怒，也不因争战。”
Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, though not in anger nor in battle.
21 “必有一个卑鄙的人兴起接续为王，人未曾将国的尊荣给他，他却趁人坦然无备的时候，用谄媚的话得国。
In his place shall arise a despicable person, to whom the honor of kingship had not been given, but he shall come in a time of prosperity, and shall obtain the kingdom through deceit.
22 必有无数的军兵势如洪水，在他面前冲没败坏；同盟的君也必如此。
And large armies shall be swept away and shattered before him, as well as the prince of the covenant.
23 与那君结盟之后，他必行诡诈，因为他必上来以微小的军成为强盛。
And after an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall become strong with a small force.
24 趁人坦然无备的时候，他必来到国中极肥美之地，行他列祖和他列祖之祖所未曾行的，将掳物、掠物，和财宝散给众人，又要设计攻打保障，然而这都是暂时的。
In a time of prosperity he shall come even on the richest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor their fathers; he shall distribute among them plunder, and spoil, and property. He shall devise plans against their strongholds, but only for a time.
25 “他必奋勇向前，率领大军攻击南方王；南方王也必以极大极强的军兵与他争战，却站立不住，因为有人设计谋害南方王。
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 wage war in battle with an extremely large and powerful army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise plans against him.
26 吃王膳的，必败坏他；他的军队必被冲没，而且被杀的甚多。
Yes, those who eat of his royal food shall seek to destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall slain.
27 至于这二王，他们心怀恶计，同席说谎，计谋却不成就；因为到了定期，事就了结。
As for both these kings, their minds shall be fixed on evil, and they shall speak lies at the table; but it shall not succeed; for still the end shall be at the appointed time.
28 北方王必带许多财宝回往本国，他的心反对圣约，任意而行，回到本地。
Then shall he return into his land with great property; and his mind shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall take action, and then return to his own land.
29 “到了定期，他必返回，来到南方。后一次却不如前一次，
At the appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before.
30 因为基提战船必来攻击他，他就丧胆而回，又要恼恨圣约，任意而行；他必回来联络背弃圣约的人。
For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be intimidated, and shall turn back, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and shall take action. He shall turn back, and show regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 他必兴兵，这兵必亵渎圣地，就是保障，除掉常献的燔祭，设立那行毁坏可憎的。
Forces shall come at his order, and they shall profane the sanctuary and the fortress, and shall take away the daily burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that causes desolation.
32 作恶违背圣约的人，他必用巧言勾引；惟独认识 神的子民必刚强行事。
And those who act wickedly toward the covenant he shall corrupt by smooth words; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and take action.
33 民间的智慧人必训诲多人；然而他们多日必倒在刀下，或被火烧，或被掳掠抢夺。
And those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.
34 他们仆倒的时候，稍得扶助，却有许多人用谄媚的话亲近他们。
Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join with them insincerely.
35 智慧人中有些仆倒的，为要熬炼其余的人，使他们清净洁白，直到末了；因为到了定期，事就了结。
Some of those who are wise shall fall, to be refined, purified and cleansed until the time of the end; for the appointed time is still to come.
36 “王必任意而行，自高自大，超过所有的神，又用奇异的话攻击万神之神。他必行事亨通，直到主的忿怒完毕，因为所定的事必然成就。
And the king shall do as he pleases. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak outrageous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is decreed shall be done.
37 他必不顾他列祖的神，也不顾妇女所羡慕的神，无论何神他都不顾；因为他必自大，高过一切。
Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the one desired by women, nor show regard to any other god, because he shall magnify himself above all.
38 他倒要敬拜保障的神，用金、银、宝石和可爱之物敬奉他列祖所不认识的神。
But instead he shall honor the god of fortresses; a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold and silver, and with valuable stones, and costly gifts.
39 他必靠外邦神的帮助，攻破最坚固的保障。凡承认他的，他必将荣耀加给他们，使他们管辖许多人，又为贿赂分地与他们。
And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he shall grant considerable honor; and he shall make them rulers over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
40 “到末了，南方王要与他交战。北方王必用战车、马兵，和许多战船，势如暴风来攻击他，也必进入列国，如洪水泛滥。
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south attack 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 invade countries, and pass through like a flood.
41 又必进入那荣美之地，有许多国就被倾覆，但以东人、摩押人，和一大半亚扪人必脱离他的手。
He shall enter also into the beautiful land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.
42 他必伸手攻击列国；埃及地也不得脱离。
He shall reach out his hand also on other countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 他必把持埃及的金银财宝和各样的宝物。利比亚人和古实人都必跟从他。
But he shall have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his feet.
44 但从东方和北方必有消息扰乱他，他就大发烈怒出去，要将多人杀灭净尽。
But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with tremendous rage to destroy and utterly sweep away many.
45 他必在海和荣美的圣山中间设立他如宫殿的帐幕；然而到了他的结局，必无人能帮助他。”
And he shall pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with no one to help him.
