但以理書 11
1 又說：「當米底亞王大流士元年，我曾起來扶助米迦勒，使他堅強。」
“And so, from the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood firm, so that he might be reinforced and strengthened.
2 現在我將真事指示你： 「波斯還有三王興起，第四王必富足遠勝諸王。他因富足成為強盛，就必激動大眾攻擊希臘國。
And now I will announce to you the truth. Behold, up to a certain point, three kings will stand in Persia, and the fourth will be exceedingly enriched in power above them all. And when he has grown strong by his resources, he will stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
3 必有一個勇敢的王興起，執掌大權，隨意而行。
But there will rise up a strong king, and he will rule with great power, and he will do what he pleases.
4 他興起的時候，他的國必破裂，向天的四方分開，卻不歸他的後裔，治國的權勢也都不及他；因為他的國必被拔出，歸與他後裔之外的人。
And when he has been firmly established, his kingdom will be shattered and will be divided towards the four winds of the heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom will be torn to pieces, even for the outsiders who have been expelled from these.
5 「南方的王必強盛，他將帥中必有一個比他更強盛，執掌權柄，他的權柄甚大。
And the king of the South will be reinforced, yet one of his leaders will prevail over him, and he will rule with riches, for great is his domain.
6 過些年後，他們必互相連合，南方王的女兒必就了北方王來立約；但這女子幫助之力存立不住，王和他所倚靠之力也不能存立。這女子和引導她來的，並生她的，以及當時扶助她的，都必交與死地。
And after the end of years, they will form a federation, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to make friendship, but she will not obtain the strength of arms, neither will her offspring stand firm, and she will be handed over, along with those who brought her, her young men, and those who comforted her in these times.
7 但這女子的本家必另生一子繼續王位，他必率領軍隊進入北方王的保障，攻擊他們，而且得勝；
And a transplant from the germination of her roots will stand up, and he will come with an army, and will enter into the province of the king of the North, and he will abuse them, and will hold it fast.
8 並將他們的神像和鑄成的偶像，與金銀的寶器掠到埃及去。數年之內，他不去攻擊北方的王。
And, in addition, he will carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven images, and likewise their precious vessels of gold and silver. He will prevail against the king of the North.
9 北方的王必入南方王的國，卻要仍回本地。
And the king of the South will enter into the kingdom, and will return to his own land.
10 「北方王的二子必動干戈，招聚許多軍兵。這軍兵前去，如洪水氾濫，又必再去爭戰，直到南方王的保障。
But his sons will be challenged, and they will assemble a multitude of very many forces. And he will arrive rushing and overflowing. And he will be turned back, and he will be enraged, and he will join the battle in his redness.
11 南方王必發烈怒，出來與北方王爭戰，擺列大軍；北方王的軍兵必交付他手。
And the king of the South, having being challenged, will go forth and will fight against the king of the North, and he will prepare an exceedingly great multitude, and a multitude will be given into his hand.
12 他的眾軍高傲，他的心也必自高；他雖使數萬人仆倒，卻不得常勝。
And he will seize a multitude, and his heart will be exalted, and he will cast down many thousands, but he will not prevail.
13 「北方王必回來擺列大軍，比先前的更多。滿了所定的年數，他必率領大軍，帶極多的軍裝來。
For the king of the North will change strategy and will prepare a multitude much greater than before, and at the end of times and years, he will rush forward with a great army and exceedingly great resources.
14 那時，必有許多人起來攻擊南方王，並且你本國的強暴人必興起，要應驗那異象，他們卻要敗亡。
And in those times, many will rise up against the king of the South. And likewise the sons of the deceivers among your people will extol themselves, so as to fulfill the vision, and they will collapse.
15 北方王必來築壘攻取堅固城；南方的軍兵必站立不住，就是選擇的精兵也無力站住。
And the king of the North will arrive and will transport siege works, and he will seize the most fortified cities. And the arms of the South will not withstand him, and his elect will rise up to resist, but the strength will not.
16 來攻擊他的，必任意而行，無人在北方王面前站立得住。他必站在那榮美之地，用手施行毀滅。
And when he arrives, he will do just as he pleases, and there will be none who stand against his face. And he will stand in the illustrious land, and it will be consumed by his hand.
17 「他必定意用全國之力而來，立公正的約，照約而行，將自己的女兒給南方王為妻，想要敗壞他，這計卻不得成就，與自己毫無益處。
And he will set his face to strive to hold his entire kingdom, and he will make fair conditions with him. And he will give him a daughter among women, so as to overthrow it. But she will not stand, neither will she be for him.
18 其後他必轉回奪取了許多海島。但有一大帥，除掉他令人受的羞辱，並且使這羞辱歸他本身。
And he will turn his face towards the islands, and he will seize many. And he will cause the leader of his reproach to cease, and his reproach will be turned around for him.
19 他就必轉向本地的保障，卻要絆跌仆倒，歸於無有。
And he will turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he will strike, and will overthrow, but he will not succeed.
20 「那時，必有一人興起接續他為王，使橫征暴斂的人通行國中的榮美地。這王不多日就必滅亡，卻不因忿怒，也不因爭戰。」
And there will stand up in his place one who is most worthless and unworthy of kingly honor. And in a short time, he will be worn out, but not in fury, nor in battle.
21 「必有一個卑鄙的人興起接續為王，人未曾將國的尊榮給他，他卻趁人坦然無備的時候，用諂媚的話得國。
And there will stand up in his place the despicable one, and he will not be assigned the honor of a king. And he will arrive in secret, and he will obtain the kingdom by deceitfulness.
22 必有無數的軍兵勢如洪水，在他面前沖沒敗壞；同盟的君也必如此。
And the arms of the fighting will be assaulted before his face and will be shattered, and, in addition, the leader of the federation.
23 與那君結盟之後，他必行詭詐，因為他必上來以微小的軍成為強盛。
And, after making friends, he will trick him, and he will go up and will overcome with a small people.
24 趁人坦然無備的時候，他必來到國中極肥美之地，行他列祖和他列祖之祖所未曾行的，將擄物、掠物，和財寶散給眾人，又要設計攻打保障，然而這都是暫時的。
And he will enter into rich and resourceful cities, and he will do what his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and will form a plan against the most steadfast, and this until a time.
25 「他必奮勇向前，率領大軍攻擊南方王；南方王也必以極大極強的軍兵與他爭戰，卻站立不住，因為有人設計謀害南方王。
And his strength and his heart will be enraged against the king of the South with a great army. And the king of the South will be provoked into going to war by having many allies and exceedingly good circumstances, and yet these will not stand, for they will form plans against him.
26 吃王膳的，必敗壞他；他的軍隊必被沖沒，而且被殺的甚多。
And those who eat bread with him will crush him, and his army will be suppressed, and very many will die, having been executed.
27 至於這二王，他們心懷惡計，同席說謊，計謀卻不成就；因為到了定期，事就了結。
And the heart of two kings will be similar, to do harm, and they will speak lies at one table, but they will not succeed, because as yet the end is for another time.
28 北方王必帶許多財寶回往本國，他的心反對聖約，任意而行，回到本地。
And he will return to his land with many resources. And his heart will be against the holy testament, and he will act, and he will return to his own land.
29 「到了定期，他必返回，來到南方。後一次卻不如前一次，
At the appointed time, he will return, and he will approach the South, but the latter time will not be like the former.
30 因為基提戰船必來攻擊他，他就喪膽而回，又要惱恨聖約，任意而行；他必回來聯絡背棄聖約的人。
And the Greek warships and the Romans will come upon him, and he will be pierced, and will retreat, and will have scorn against the testament of the sanctuary, and he will act. And he will return and will consult their adversaries, who have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
31 他必興兵，這兵必褻瀆聖地，就是保障，除掉常獻的燔祭，設立那行毀壞可憎的。
And arms will take his side, and they will pollute the sanctuary of the strength, and they will take away the continual sacrifice and will replace it with the abomination of desolation.
32 作惡違背聖約的人，他必用巧言勾引；惟獨認識上帝的子民必剛強行事。
And the impious within the testament will imitate deceitfully, but the people, knowing their God, will persevere and will act.
33 民間的智慧人必訓誨多人；然而他們多日必倒在刀下，或被火燒，或被擄掠搶奪。
And the teachers among the people will teach many, but they will be ruined by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by assaults for many days.
34 他們仆倒的時候，稍得扶助，卻有許多人用諂媚的話親近他們。
And when they have fallen, they will be supported with a little help, but many will apply to them deceitfully.
35 智慧人中有些仆倒的，為要熬煉其餘的人，使他們清淨潔白，直到末了；因為到了定期，事就了結。
And some of the learned will be ruined, that they may be kindled and chosen and purified, up to the predetermined time, because there will be still another time.
36 「王必任意而行，自高自大，超過所有的神，又用奇異的話攻擊萬神之神。他必行事亨通，直到主的忿怒完畢，因為所定的事必然成就。
And the king will act according to his will, and he will be lifted up and will be extolled against every god. And he will speak great things against the God of gods, and he will control, until the passion is completed. Once accomplished, the limit is reached with certainty.
37 他必不顧他列祖的神，也不顧婦女所羨慕的神，無論何神他都不顧；因為他必自大，高過一切。
And he will give no thought to the God of his fathers, and he will be in the desire of women, and he will not attend to any gods, because he will rise up against all things.
38 他倒要敬拜保障的神，用金、銀、寶石和可愛之物敬奉他列祖所不認識的神。
But he will do homage to the god Maozim in his place, and, a god whom his fathers did not know, he will worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and costly things.
39 他必靠外邦神的幫助，攻破最堅固的保障。凡承認他的，他必將榮耀加給他們，使他們管轄許多人，又為賄賂分地與他們。
And he will act to reinforce Maozim with an alien god, of whom he has become aware, and he will increase their glory, and will give them power over many, and he will distribute land for free.
40 「到末了，南方王要與他交戰。北方王必用戰車、馬兵，和許多戰船，勢如暴風來攻擊他，也必進入列國，如洪水氾濫。
And, at the predetermined time, the king of the South will fight against him, and the king of the North will come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great fleet, and he will enter into the lands, and will crush and pass through.
41 又必進入那榮美之地，有許多國就被傾覆，但以東人、摩押人，和一大半亞捫人必脫離他的手。
And he will enter into the glorious land, and many will fall. But only these will be saved from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the first part of the sons of Ammon.
42 他必伸手攻擊列國；埃及地也不得脫離。
And he will cast his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape.
43 他必把持埃及的金銀財寶和各樣的寶物。利比亞人和古實人都必跟從他。
And he will rule over the treasure chests of gold, and silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and likewise he will pass through Libya and Ethiopia.
44 但從東方和北方必有消息擾亂他，他就大發烈怒出去，要將多人殺滅淨盡。
And rumors from the East and from the North will trouble him. And he will arrive with a great multitude to destroy and to execute many.
45 他必在海和榮美的聖山中間設立他如宮殿的帳幕；然而到了他的結局，必無人能幫助他。」
And he will fasten his tabernacle, Apadno, between the seas, upon an illustrious and holy mountain, and he will come even to its summit, and no one will help him.”
