< Daniel 11 >
1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
And I in year one of Darius the Mede standing my [was] to a strengthener and to a protection for him.
2 And now I will show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than them all. And when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
And now truth I will tell to you there! yet three kings [are] about to arise for Persia and the fourth [king] he will gain wealth wealth great more than everyone and according to strength his by wealth his he will stir up everyone [the] kingdom of Greece.
3 And a mighty king shall stand up, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
And he will arise a king mighty and he will have dominion dominion great and he will do according to pleasure his.
4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these.
And just as arises he it will be broken up kingdom his and it will be divided to [the] four [the] winds of the heavens and not to posterity his and not like dominion his which he had dominion for it will be plucked up kingdom his and to others besides these.
5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his rulers. And he shall be powerful over him, and have dominion. His dominion shall be a great dominion.
So he may become strong [the] king of the south and one of commanders his so he may become strong on him and he will exercise dominion [will be] a dominion great dominion his.
6 And 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 the strength of her arm, nor shall he stand, nor his arm. But she shall be given up, and also those who brought her, and he who begot her, and he who strengthened her in those times.
And to [the] end of years they will make an alliance and [the] daughter of [the] king of the south she will come to [the] king of the north to do uprightness and not she will retain [the] power of the arm and not he will stand arm his so she may be given up she and [those who] brought her and the [one who] fathered her and [the one who] strengthened her in the times.
7 But out of a shoot from her roots shall a man stand up in his place, who shall come to the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
And he will arise one of [the] shoot[s] of roots her place his so he may come against the army so he may go in [the] stronghold of [the] king of the north and he will do with them and he will prevail.
8 And also their gods, with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, he shall carry captive into Egypt, and he shall refrain from the king of the north some years.
And also gods their with molten images their with [the] vessels of desire their silver and gold in captivity he will take Egypt and he years he will stand away from [the] king of the north.
9 And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
And he will go in [the] kingdom of [the] king of the south and he will return to own land his.
10 And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through. And they shall return and war, even to his fortress.
(And sons his *Q(K)*) they will wage war and they will gather a multitude of armies great and it will go certainly and it will overflow and it will pass over and it will return (so it may wage war *Q(K)*) to (stronghold his. *Q(K)*)
11 And the king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north. And he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
So he may be enraged [the] king of the south and he will go out and he will engage in battle with him with [the] king of the north and he will raise up a multitude great and it will be given the multitude in hand his.
12 And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted. And he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
And it will be carried off the multitude (and it will be lifted up *Q(K)*) heart his and he will make fall tens of thousands and not he will prevail.
13 And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and he shall come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with much substance.
And he will return [the] king of the north and he will raise up a multitude great more than the first and to [the] end of the times years he will come certainly with an army large and with equipment much.
14 And in those times many shall stand up against the king of the south. Also the sons of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision, but they shall fall.
And in the times those many [people] they will arise on [the] king of the south and [the] sons of - [the] violent ones of people your they will exalt themselves to fulfill [the] vision and they will stumble.
15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, nor his chosen people. Neither shall there be any strength to stand.
And he may come [the] king of the north so he may pour out a mound and he will capture a city of fortifications and [the] forces of the south not they will stand and [the] people of choicest ones his and there not [will be] strength to stand.
16 But he who comes against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him. And he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction.
And he will do the [one who] comes against him according to pleasure his and there not [will be one who] stands before him so he may stand in [the] land of beauty and complete destruction [will be] in hand his.
17 And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions, and he shall perform them. And he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her, but she shall not stand, nor be for him.
And he will set - face his to come with [the] power of all kingdom his and upright [things] with him and he will do and [the] daughter of the women he will give to him to destroy it and not it will stand and not to him it will happen.
18 After this he shall turn his face to the isles, and shall take many. But a ruler shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him.
(And he will set *Q(K)*) face his to [the] coastlands and he will capture many [people] and he will put an end to a commander scorn his for him not scorn his he will turn back to him.
19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
And he will turn face his to [the] strongholds of own land his and he will stumble and he will fall and not he will be found.
20 Then someone shall stand up in his place who shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom, but within a few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
And he will arise on place his [one who] will send through an oppressor [the] splendor of a kingdom and in days one he will be broken and not in anger and not in battle.
21 And in his place he who is contemptible shall stand up, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom. But he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
And he will arise on place his a despicable [person] and not people had given to him [the] honor of royalty and he will come in quietness and he will take hold of royalty by intrigues.
22 And the overwhelming forces shall be overwhelmed from before him, and shall be broken, yea, also the ruler of the covenant.
And [the] forces of the flood they will be swept away from to before him so they may be broken and also a prince of a covenant.
23 And after the league made with him, he shall work deceitfully, for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.
And from when made an alliance with him he will act deceit and he will rise and he will become mighty with fewness of a nation.
24 He shall come in time of security even upon the fattest places of the province, and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers. He shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance. Yea, he shall devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.
In quietness and in [the] fertile places of [the] province he will come and he will do [that] which not they did ancestors his and [the] ancestors of ancestors his plunder and booty and property to them he will scatter and on strongholds he will plan plans his and until a time.
25 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 war in battle with a very great and mighty army, but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him.
And he will stir up strength his and heart his on [the] king of the south with an army large and [the] king of the south he will get ready for the battle with an army large and mighty up to muchness and not he will stand for people will plan on him plans.
26 Yea, those who eat of his food shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow, and many shall fall down slain.
And [those who] eat deli-cacies his they will break him and army his it will overflow and they will fall slain [ones] many.
27 And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table. But it shall not prosper, for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
And [the] two of them the kings heart their [will be] to evil and at a table one falsehood they will speak and not it will succeed for yet [the] end [is] to the appointed time.
28 Then he shall return into his land with great substance. And his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall do his pleasure, and return to his own land.
And he will return own land his with property great and heart his [will be] on [the] covenant of holiness and he will act and he will return to own land his.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south, but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
To the appointed time he will return and he will come in the south and not it will be as the former [time] and as the latter [time].
30 For ships of Kittim shall come against him. Therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do his pleasure. He shall even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
And they will come on him ships of Kittim and he will be disheartened and he will turn back and he will direct indignation towards [the] covenant of holiness and he will act and he will turn back and he will pay attention on [those who] forsake [the] covenant of holiness.
31 And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.
And forces from him they will arise and they will profane the sanctuary the stronghold and they will abolish the perpetual [offering] and they will set up the abomination desolating.
32 And he shall pervert by flatteries such as do wickedly against the covenant. But the people who know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
And [those who] act wickedly of [the] covenant he will pollute with flattering [words] and a people [which] knows God its they will display strength and they will act.
33 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 spoil, many days.
And [those who] have insight of [the] people they will give understanding to the many [people] and they will stumble by sword and by flame by captivity and by plunder days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help, but many shall join themselves to them with flatteries.
And when stumble they they will be helped help a little and they will join themselves to them many [people] by intrigues.
35 And some of those who are wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time appointed.
And some of those [who] have insight they will stumble to refine them and to purge [them] and to purify [them] until [the] time of [the] end for [it is] still to the appointed time.
36 And the king shall do according to his will. And he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished, for that which is determined shall be done.
And he will do according to pleasure his the king so he may exalt himself and he may magnify himself above every god and on [the] God of gods he will speak extraordinary [things] and he will succeed until it has been completed indignation for [what has been] decreed it will be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god, for he shall magnify himself above all.
And on [the] gods of ancestors his not he will pay attention and on [the] desire of women and on any god not he will pay attention for above all he will magnify himself.
38 But in his place he shall honor the god of fortresses. And a god whom his fathers did not know, he shall honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
And a god of strongholds on place its he will honor and a god which not they knew it ancestors his he will honor with gold and with silver and with stone costly and with precious things.
39 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he will increase with glory, and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
And he will act to [the] fortresses of strongholds with a god of foreignness [one] who (he acknowledges *Q(K)*) he will increase honor and he will make rule them over the many [people] and land he will divide up for a price.
40 And at the time of the end, the king of the south shall contend with 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 enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through.
And at [the] time of [the] end he will wage war with him [the] king of the south so he may storm on him [the] king of the north with chariotry and with horsemen and with ships many and he will go in lands and he will overflow and he will pass through.
41 He shall also enter into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown. But these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.
And he will come in [the] land of beauty and many [people] they will stumble and these they will escape from hand his Edom and Moab and [the] first of [the] people of Ammon.
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
So he may stretch out hand his on lands and [the] land of Egypt not it will become an escaped remnant.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt. And the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
And he will rule over [the] treasures of gold and silver and over all [the] precious things of Egypt and Libyans and Cushites [will be] in footsteps his.
44 But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him, and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and to utterly sweep away many.
And reports they will dismay him from [the] east and from [the] north and he will go out in rage great to destroy and to totally destroy many [people].
45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain, yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
So he may pitch [the] tents of palace his between [the] seas and [the] mountain of [the] beauty of holiness and he will come to end his and not a helper [will belong] to him.
