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。」

Also I, in ye first yere of Darius of ye Medes, euen I stood to incourage and to strengthen him.

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 wil I shew thee ye trueth, Behold, there shall stand vp yet three Kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be farre richer then they all: and by his strength, and by his riches he shall stirre vp all against the realme of Grecia.

3 必有一個勇敢的王興起，執掌大權，隨意而行。

But a mightie King shall stand vp, that shall rule with great dominion, and doe according to his pleasure.

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 shall stand vp, his kingdome shall be broken, and shall be deuided towarde the foure windes of heauen: and not to his posteritie, nor according to his dominion, which he ruled: for his kingdome shall be pluckt vp, euen to be for others besides those.

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 ye King of ye South shalbe mightie, and one of his princes, and shall preuaile against him, and beare rule: his dominio shalbe a great dominion.

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 in the ende of yeeres they shalbe ioyned together: for the Kings daughter of ye South shall come to the King of the North to make an agreement, but she shall not reteine the power of the arme, neither shall he continue, nor his arme: but she shall be deliuered to death, and they that brought her, and he that begate her, and he that 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；

But out of the bud of her rootes shall one stand vp in his stead, which shall come with an armie, and shall enter into the fortresse of the King of the North, and doe with them as he list, and shall preuaile,

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 shall also carie captiues into Egypt their gods with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of siluer and of golde, and he shall continue more yeeres then the King of the North.

9 北方的王必入南方王的國，卻要仍回本地。

So the King of ye South shall come into his kingdome, and shall returne into his owne 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。

Wherefore his sonnes shall be stirred vp, and shall assemble a mightie great armie: and one shall come, and ouerflowe, and passe through: then shall he returne, and be stirred vp at his fortresse.

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 shall be angrie, and shall come foorth, and fight with him, euen with the King of the North: for he shall set foorth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be giuen 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。

Then the multitude shall be proude, and their heart shall be lifted vp: for hee shall cast downe thousands: but he shall not still preuaile.

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 shall returne, and shall set foorth a greater multitude then afore, and shall come foorth (after certeine yeeres) with a mightie armie, and great riches.

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 at the same time there shall many stand vp against the King of the South: also the rebellious children of thy people shall exalt them selues to establish the vision, but they shall fall.

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。

So the King of the North shall come, and cast vp a mount, and take the strong citie: and the armes of the South shall not resist, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

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。

But he that shall come, shall doe vnto him as he list, and none shall stand against him: and he shall stand in the pleasant land, which by his hand shalbe consumed.

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。

Againe he shall set his face to enter with the power of his whole kingdome, and his confederates with him: thus shall he doe, and he shall giue him the daughter of women, to destroy her: but she shall not stande on his side, neither bee 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。

After this shall he turne his face vnto the yles, and shall take many, but a prince shall cause his shame to light vpon him, beside that he shall cause his owne shame to turne vpon himselfe.

19 他就必轉向本地的保障，卻要絆跌仆倒，歸於無有。

For he shall turne his face toward the fortes of his owne land: but he shall be ouerthrowen and fall, and be no more founde.

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。」

Then shall stand vp in his place in the glorie of the kingdome, one that shall raise taxes: but after fewe dayes he shall be destroyed, neither in wrath, nor in battell.

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 in his place shall stand vp a vile person, to whom they shall not giue the honour of the kingdome: but he shall come in peaceably, and obteine the kingdome by flatteries.

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 armes shall be ouerthrowen with a flood before him, and shall be broken: and also the prince of the couenant.

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 the league made with him, he shall worke deceitfully: for he shall come vp, and ouercome 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。

He shall enter into the quiet and plentifull prouince, and he shall doe that which his fathers haue not done, nor his fathers fathers: he shall deuide among them the pray and the spoyle, and the substance, yea, and he shall forecast his deuises against the strong holdes, euen for 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。

Also he shall stirre vp his power and his courage against the King of the South with a great armie, and the King of the South shall be stirred vp to battell with a very great and mightie armie: but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast and practise 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。

Yea, they that feede of the portion of his meate, shall destroy him: and his armie shall ouerflowe: and many shall fall, and be slaine.

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 both these Kings hearts shall be to do mischiefe, and they shall talke of deceite at one table: but it shall not auaile: for yet the ende shall be at the time appointed.

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。

Then shall he returne into his land with great substance: for his heart shall be against the holy couenant: so shall he doe and returne to his owne 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 time appointed he shall returne, and come toward the South: but the last shall not be as the first.

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。

For the shippes of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shalbe sorie and returne, and freat against the holy couenant: so shall he doe, he shall euen returne and haue intelligence with them that forsake the holy couenant.

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 armes shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the Sanctuarie of strength, and shall take away the dayly sacrifice, and they shall set vp the abominable 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 such as wickedly breake ye couenant, shall he cause to sinne by flatterie: but the people that do know their God, shall preuaile and prosper.

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 they that vnderstand among the people, shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by sword, and by flame, by captiuitie and by spoile many dayes.

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。

Nowe when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a litle helpe: but many shall cleaue vnto them fainedly.

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 of vnderstanding shall fall to trie them, and to purge, and to make them white, till the time be out: for there is a time appointed.

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 shall doe what him list: he shall exalt himselfe, and magnifie himselfe against all, that is God, and shall speake marueilous things against ye God of gods, and shall prosper, till ye wrath be accomplished: for ye determination is made.

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。

Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desires of women, nor care for any God: for he shall magnifie himselfe aboue all.

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 in his place shall he honour the god Mauzzim, and the god whom his fathers knewe not, shall he honour with golde and with siluer, and with precious stones, and pleasant 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。

Thus shall he do in the holdes of Mauzzim with a strange god whom he shall acknowledge: he shall increase his glory, and shall cause them to rule ouer many and shall deuide ye land for gaine.

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 ye end of time shall the King of the South push at him, and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlewind with charets, and with horsemen, and with many ships, and he shall enter into ye countreis, and shall ouerflow and passe 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。

He shall enter also into the pleasant land, and many countreis shalbe ouerthrowen: but these shall escape out of his hand, euen Edom and Moab, and the chiefe of the children of Ammon.

42 他必伸手攻擊列國；埃及地也不得脫離。

He shall stretch foorth his hands also vpon the countreis, and ye land of Egypt shall 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。

But he shall haue power ouer the treasures of golde and of siluer, and ouer all the precious things of Egypt, and of the Lybians, and of the blacke Mores where he shall passe.

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。

But the tidings out of the East and the North shall trouble him: therefore he shall goe foorth with great wrath to destroy and roote out 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 shall plant the tabernacles of his palace betweene the seas in the glorious and holy mountaine, yet he shall come to his end, and none shall helpe him.
