Daniel 11
1 “As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
Tudi jaz sem v prvem letu Medijca Dareja, celó jaz, stal, da ga potrdim in okrepim.
2 “Now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings will stand up in Persia. The fourth will be far richer than all of them. When he has grown strong through his riches, he will stir up all against the realm of Greece.
Sedaj ti bom pokazal resnico: »Glej, v Perziji bodo vstali še trije kralji, četrti pa bo mnogo bogatejši kakor oni vsi. S svojo močjo bo po svojih bogastvih vse razvnel zoper področje Grčije.
3 A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Vstal bo mogočen kralj, ki bo vladal z velikim gospostvom in počel glede na svojo voljo.
4 When he stands up, his kingdom will be broken and will be divided toward the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be plucked up, even for others besides these.
Ko bo vstal, bo njegovo kraljestvo zlomljeno in razdeljeno bo proti štirim vetrovom neba, in ne k njegovemu potomstvu niti glede na njegovo gospostvo, ki mu je vladal, kajti njegovo kraljestvo bo izpuljeno, celo za druge poleg teh.
5 “The king of the south will be strong. One of his princes will become stronger than him, and have dominion. His dominion will be a great dominion.
Južni kralj bo močan in eden izmed njegovih princev in on bo močan nad njim in imel bo gospostvo; njegovo gospostvo bo veliko gospostvo.
6 At the end of years they will join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement, but she will not retain the strength of her arm. He will also not stand, nor will his arm; but she will be given up, with those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened her in those times.
Ob koncu let se bosta združila skupaj, kajti kraljeva hči iz juga bo prišla k severnemu kralju, da sklene dogovor. Toda ona ne bo obdržala moči lakta niti on ne bo obstal niti njegov laket, temveč bo izdana in tisti, ki so jo privedli in tisti, ki jo je zaplodil in kdor jo je okrepil v teh časih.
7 “But out of a shoot from her roots one will stand up in his place, who will come to the army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and will deal against them and will prevail.
Toda iz mladike njenih korenin bo vstal nekdo v svoji lastnini, ki bo prišel z vojsko in vstopil v trdnjavo severnega kralja in se bo spoprijel zoper njih in bo prevladal.
8 He will also carry their gods with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, captive into Egypt. He will refrain some years from the king of the north.
Prav tako bo ujete odvedel v Egipt njihove bogove z njihovimi princi in z njihovimi dragocenimi posodami iz srebra in zlata, in nadaljeval bo več let kakor kralj iz severa.
9 He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will return into his own land.
Tako bo južni kralj prišel v svoje kraljestvo in se bo vrnil v svojo lastno deželo.
10 His sons will wage war, and will assemble a multitude of great forces which will come on, and overflow, and pass through. They will return and wage war, even to his fortress.
Toda njegova sinova bosta razvneta in bosta zbrala množico velikih sil, in nekdo bo zagotovo prišel, preplavil in šel skozi. Potem se bo vrnil in bo razvnet, celó do svoje trdnjave.
11 “The king of the south will be moved with anger and will come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north. He will send out a great multitude, and the multitude will be given into his hand.
Južni kralj bo prevzet z gnevom in prišel bo in se boril z njim, celó s severnim kraljem, in postavil bo veliko množico, toda množica bo dana v njegovo roko.
12 The multitude will be carried off, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not prevail.
In ko bo odvedel množico, bo njegovo srce povzdignjeno in podrl bo mnogo deset tisočev, toda s tem ne bo okrepljen.
13 The king of the north will return, and will send out a multitude greater than the former. He will come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with abundant supplies.
Kajti severni kralj se bo vrnil in vzpostavil množico, večjo kakor prejšnja in zagotovo bo prišel čez določena leta z veliko vojsko in z mnogimi bogastvi.
14 “In those times many will stand up against the king of the south. Also the children of the violent among your people will lift themselves up to establish the vision, but they will fall.
V tistih časih bodo mnogi vstali zoper južnega kralja. Tudi roparji tvojega ljudstva se bodo povišali, da vzpostavijo videnje; vendar bodo padli.
15 So the king of the north will come and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. The forces of the south will not stand, neither will his select troops, neither will there be any strength to stand.
Tako bo prišel severni kralj in nasul nasip in zavzel najbolj utrjena mesta, in orožje iz juga se ne bo zoperstavilo niti njegovo izvoljeno ljudstvo niti ne bo nobene moči, da se zoperstavi.
16 But he who comes against him will do according to his own will, and no one will stand before him. He will stand in the glorious land, and destruction will be in his hand.
Toda tisti, ki prihaja zoper njega, bo storil glede na svojo lastno voljo in nihče ne bo obstal pred njim. Ta pa bo stal v veličastni deželi, ki bo z njegovo roko použita.
17 He will set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions. He will perform them. He will give him the daughter of women, to destroy the kingdom, but she will not stand, and will not be for him.
Svoj obraz bo tudi naravnal, da vstopi z močjo svojega celotnega kraljestva in pokončni z njim. Tako bo storil. Dal mu bo hčer izmed žensk, kvareč jo, toda ona ne bo obstala na njegovi strani niti ne bo zanj.
18 After this he will turn his face to the islands, and will take many, but a prince will cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yes, moreover, he will cause his reproach to turn on him.
Potem bo svoj obraz obrnil k otokom in bo mnoge zavzel, toda princ bo zaradi svoje koristi povzročil, da bo zasramovanje, ki ga je ta dajal, prenehalo. Brez njegovega lastnega zasramovanja mu bo povzročil, da se to obrne nadenj.
19 Then he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and will not be found.
Potem bo svoj obraz obrnil proti utrdbi svoje lastne dežele, toda spotaknil se bo, padel in ne bo najden.
20 “Then one who will cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory will stand up in his place; but within few days he shall be destroyed, not in anger, and not in battle.
Potem bo v svoji lastnini vstal prenašalec davkov v slavi kraljestva, toda v nekaj dneh bo uničen, niti z jezo, niti v bitki.
21 “In his place a contemptible person will stand up, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom; but he will come in time of security, and will obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
V njegovi lastnini bo vstala podla oseba, ki ji ne bodo dali časti kraljestva, toda vstopil bo miroljubno in kraljestvo dosegel z laskanji.
22 The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.
S silami poplave bodo odplavljeni izpred njega in bodo zlomljeni; da, tudi princ zaveze.
23 After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.
Potem ko z njim sklene sodelovanje, bo postopal varljivo, kajti prišel bo gor in postal močan z majhnim ljudstvom.
24 In time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter among them prey, plunder, and wealth. Yes, he will devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.
Vstopil bo miroljubno, celo na najrodovitnejše kraje province. Počel bo to, kar njegovi očetje niso storili niti očetje njihovih očetov. Mednje bo razkropil plen, oplenjeno in bogastva. Da, napovedal bo svoje naklepe zoper oporišča, celo za nekaj časa.
25 “He will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will wage war in battle with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he will not stand; for they will devise plans against him.
Z veliko vojsko bo razvnel svojo moč in svoj pogum zoper južnega kralja, in južni kralj bo razvnet v bitko z veliko in mogočno vojsko, toda ne bo obstal, kajti zoper njega bodo napovedali naklepe.
26 Yes, those who eat of his delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down slain.
Da, tisti, ki se hranijo od deleža njegove hrane, ga bodo uničili in njegova vojska se bo razkropila. Mnogi bodo popadali umorjeni.
27 As for both these kings, their hearts will be to do evil, and they will speak lies at one table; but it will not prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time.
Srci obeh teh kraljev bosta počeli vragolijo in pri eni mizi bosta govorila laži. Toda to ne bo uspelo, kajti vendar bo konec ob določenem času.
28 Then he will return into his land with great wealth. His heart will be against the holy covenant. He will take action, and return to his own land.
Potem se bo vrnil v svojo deželo z velikimi bogastvi, in njegovo srce bo zoper sveto zavezo. Počel bo junaška dejanja in se vrnil v svojo lastno deželo.
29 “He will return at the appointed time and come into the south; but it will not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
Ob določenem času se bo vrnil in prišel proti jugu, toda ta ne bo kakor prejšnji ali kakor zadnji.
30 For ships of Kittim will come against him. Therefore he will be grieved, and will return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and will take action. He will even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
Kajti ladje Kitéjcev bodo prišle zoper njega. Zato bo užaloščen, se vrnil in bo ogorčen zoper sveto zavezo. Tako bo storil; torej vrnil se bo in imel posvet s tistimi, ki so zapustili sveto zavezo.
31 “Forces from him will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and will take away the continual burnt offering. Then they will set up the abomination that makes desolate.
Sile bodo stopile na njegovo stran in oskrunili bodo svetišče moči in odpravili bodo dnevno daritev in postavili ogabnost, ki dela opustošenje.
32 He will corrupt those who do wickedly against the covenant by flatteries; but the people who know their God will be strong and take action.
Tiste, ki zlobno ravnajo zoper zavezo, bo pokvaril z laskanji, toda ljudstvo, ki pozna svojega Boga, bo močno in delalo bo junaška dela.
33 “Those who are wise among the people will instruct many; yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, many days.
Tisti med ljudstvom, ki razumejo, bodo poučevali mnoge, vendar bodo padali pod mečem in v plamenu, v ujetništvu in po plenjenju, mnogo dni.
34 Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.
Torej ko bodo padali, jim bo pomagano z majhno pomočjo, toda mnogi se jih bodo oklenili z laskanji.
35 Some of those who are wise will 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.
Nekateri izmed tistih z razumevanjem bodo padli, da se jih preizkusi in prečisti in se jih naredi bele, celó do časa konca, ker je to še za določeni čas.
36 “The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished, for that which is determined will be done.
Kralj pa bo počel glede na svojo voljo in poviševal se bo in se poveličeval nad vsakega boga in govoril bo osupljive stvari zoper Boga bogov in uspeval bo, dokler ne bo dovršeno ogorčenje, kajti to, kar je določeno, bo storjeno.
37 He will not regard the gods of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god; for he will magnify himself above all.
Niti se ne bo oziral na Boga svojih očetov, niti na željo žensk, niti na kateregakoli boga, kajti poveličeval se bo nad vse.
38 But in their place, he will honor the god of fortresses. He will honor a god whom his fathers did not know with gold, silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.
Toda v svoji lastnini bo spoštoval boga sil, in boga, ki ga njegovi očetje niso poznali, bo častil z zlatom, srebrom, dragocenimi kamni in prijetnimi stvarmi.
39 He will deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. He will increase with glory whoever acknowledges him. He will cause them to rule over many, and will divide the land for a price.
Tako bo storil v najmočnejših oporiščih s tujim bogom, ki ga bo priznal in narastel s slavo. Povzročil jim bo, da vladajo nad mnogimi in deželo bo razdelil zaradi dobička.
40 “At the time of the end the king of the south will contend with him; and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships. He will enter into the countries, and will overflow and pass through.
Ob času konca bo južni kralj pritisnil nanj in severni kralj bo prišel proti njemu kot vrtinčast veter, z bojnimi vozovi in s konjeniki in z mnogimi ladjami in vstopil bo v dežele, jih preplavil in prešel.
41 He will enter also into the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown; but these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Vstopil bo tudi v veličastno deželo in mnoge dežele bodo premagane, toda te bodo pobegnile iz njegove roke, celó Edóm, Moáb in vodja Amónovih sinov.
42 He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt will not escape.
Svojo roko bo iztegnil tudi nad dežele in egiptovska dežela ne bo ubežala.
43 But he will have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt. The Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow his steps.
Toda imel bo oblast nad zakladi iz zlata, srebra in nad vsemi dragocenimi egiptovskimi stvarmi in Libijci in Etiopijci bodo pri njegovih korakih.
44 But news out of the east and out of the north will trouble him; and he will go out with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many.
Toda novice iz vzhoda in iz severa ga bodo vznemirile, zato bo šel naprej z veliko razjarjenostjo, da uniči in popolnoma odpravi mnoge.
45 He will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
Zasadil bo šotorska svetišča svoje palače med morjem in veličastno sveto goro, vendar bo prišel do svojega konca in nihče mu ne bo pomagal.
