< Daniel 11 >

1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede I was on his side to make his position safe and make him strong.
Eu, pois, no primeiro anno de Dario, medo, estive para o esforçar e fortalecer.
2 And now I will make clear to you what is true. There are still three kings to come in Persia, and the fourth will have much greater wealth than all of them: and when he has become strong through his wealth, he will put his forces in motion against all the kingdoms of Greece.
E agora te declararei a verdade: Eis que ainda tres reis estarão na Persia, e o quarto será enriquecido de grandes riquezas mais do que todos; e, esforçando-se com as suas riquezas, suscitará a todos contra o reino da Grecia.
3 And a strong king will come to power, ruling with great authority and doing whatever is his pleasure.
Depois se levantará um rei valente, que reinará com grande dominio, e fará o que lhe aprouver.
4 And when he has become strong, his kingdom will be broken and parted to the four winds of heaven; but not to his offspring, for it will be uprooted; and his kingdom will be for the others and not for these: but not with the same authority as his.
Mas, estando elle em pé, o seu reino será quebrado, e será repartido para os quatro ventos do céu, porém não para a sua posteridade, nem tão pouco segundo o seu dominio com que reinou, porque o seu reino será arrancado, e será para outros fóra d'estes.
5 And the king of the south will be strong, but one of his captains will be stronger than he and will be ruler; and his rule will be a great rule.
E se esforçará o rei do sul, um d'entre os seus principes; mas outro se esforçará, mais do que elle, e reinará, e dominio grande será o seu dominio,
6 And at the end of years they will be joined 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 keep the strength of her arm; and his offspring will not keep their place; but she will be uprooted, with those who were the cause of her coming, and her son, and he who took her in those times.
Mas, ao cabo de alguns annos, um com outro fará concerto; e a filha do rei do sul virá ao rei do norte para fazer um tratado, mas ella não terá força de braço; nem elle persistirá, nem o seu braço, porque ella será entregue, e os que a tiverem trazido, e seu pae, e o que a esforçava n'aquelles tempos!
7 But out of a branch from her roots one will come up to take his place, who will come against the army, forcing his way into the strong place of the king of the north, and he will take them in hand and overcome them:
Mas do renovo das suas raizes um se levantará em seu logar, e virá com o exercito, e entrará nas fortalezas do rei do norte, e obrará contra elles, e prevalecerá.
8 And their gods and their metal images and their fair vessels of silver and gold he will take away into the south; and for some years he will keep away from the king of the north.
E tambem os seus deuses com os seus principes, com os seus vasos preciosos de prata e oiro, levará captivos para o Egypto; e por alguns annos elle persistirá contra o rei do norte.
9 And he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will go back to his land.
Assim entrará o rei do sul no reino, e tornará para a sua terra.
10 And his son will make war, and will get together an army of great forces, and he will make an attack on him, overflowing and going past: and he will again take the war even to his strong place.
Porém seus filhos se entremetterão em guerra, e ajuntarão grande numero de exercitos, e um d'elles virá á pressa, e inundará, e passará, e tornará a entremetter-se em guerra, até chegar á sua fortaleza
11 And the king of the south will be moved with wrath, and will come out and make war on him, on this same king of the north: and he will get together a great army, but the army will be given into his hand.
Então o rei do sul se exasperará, e sairá, e pelejará contra elle, a saber, contra o rei do norte, que porá em campo grande multidão, mas aquella multidão será entregue na sua mão
12 And the army will be taken away, and his heart will be uplifted: he will be the cause of the downfall of tens of thousands, but he will not be strong.
Quando fôr tirada aquella multidão, o seu coração se elevará: ainda que derribará muitos milhares, comtudo não prevalecerá.
13 And again the king of the north will get together an army greater than the first; and he will make an attack on him at the end of years, with a great army and much wealth.
Porque o rei do norte tornará, e porá em campo uma multidão maior do que a primeira, e ao cabo dos tempos, isto é, annos, virá á pressa com grande exercito e com muita fazenda.
14 In those times, a number will take up arms against the king of the south: and the children of the violent among your people will be lifting themselves up to make the vision come true; but it will be their downfall.
E, n'aquelles tempos, muitos se levantarão contra o rei do sul; e os filhos dos prevaricadores do teu povo se levantarão para confirmar a visão, e cairão.
15 So the king of the north will come, and put up earthworks and take a well-armed town: and the forces of the king of the south will make an attempt to keep their position, even the best of his army, but they will not have strength to do so.
E o rei do norte virá, e levantará baluartes, e tomará a cidade forte; e os braços do sul não poderão subsistir, nem o seu povo escolhido, pois não haverá força para subsistir.
16 And he who comes against him will do his pleasure, and no one will be able to keep his place before him: he will take up his position in the beautiful land and in his hand there will be destruction.
O que pois ha de vir contra elle fará segundo a sua vontade, e não haverá quem possa subsistir diante d'elle: e estará na terra gloriosa, e haverá consumição na sua mão.
17 And it will be his purpose to come with the strength of all his kingdom, but in place of this he will make an agreement with him; and he will give him the daughter of women to send destruction on it; but this will not take place or come about.
E porá o seu rosto, para vir com a potencia de todo o seu reino, e com elle os rectos, e o fará: e lhe dará uma filha das mulheres, para a destruir a ella, mas ella não subsistirá, nem será por elle.
18 After this, his face will be turned to the islands, and he will take a number of them: but a chief, by his destruction, will put an end to the shame offered by him; and more than this, he will make his shame come back on him.
Depois virará o seu rosto para as ilhas, e tomará muitas; e um principe fará cessar o seu opprobrio contra elle, e ainda fará tornar sobre elle o seu opprobrio.
19 Then his face will be turned to the strong places of his land: but his way will be stopped, causing his downfall, and he will not be seen again.
Virará pois o seu rosto para as fortalezas da sua terra, mas tropeçará, e cairá, e não será achado.
20 Then his place will be taken by one who will send out a man with the glory of a king to get wealth together; but after a short time destruction will overtake him, but not in wrath or in the fight.
E em seu logar se levantará quem fará passar o arrecadador em gloria real; mas em poucos dias será quebrantado, e isto não em ira nem em batalha.
21 And his place will be taken by a low person, to whom the honour of the kingdom had not been given: but he will come in time of peace and will get the kingdom by fair words.
Depois se levantará em seu logar um homem vil, ao qual não darão a dignidade real; mas virá caladamente, e tomará o reino com engano.
22 And his forces will be completely taken away from before him and broken; and even the ruler of the agreement will have the same fate.
E os braços da inundação serão inundados de diante d'elle; e serão quebrantados, como tambem o principe do concerto.
23 And from the time when they make an agreement with him, he will be working falsely: for he will take up arms suddenly with a small force,
E, depois dos concertos com elle, usará de engano; e subirá, e será esforçado com pouca gente.
24 Against fertile places, and will make waste a part of the country; and he will do what his fathers have not done, or his fathers' fathers; he will make distribution among them of goods taken in war and by force, and of property: he will even make designs against the strong places for a time.
Virá tambem caladamente aos logares gordos da provincia, e fará o que nunca fizeram seus paes, nem os paes de seus paes; repartirá entre elles a preza e os despojos, e a riqueza, e formará os seus projectos contra as fortalezas, porém sómente por certo tempo
25 And he will put in motion his power and his strength against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will go to war with a very great and strong army: but he will be forced to give way, because of their designs against him;
E suscitará a sua força e o seu coração contra o rei do sul com um grande exercito; e o rei do sul se entremetterá na guerra com um grande e mui poderoso exercito; mas não subsistirá, porque formarão projectos contra elle.
26 And his fears will overcome him and be the cause of his downfall, and his army will come to complete destruction, and a great number will be put to the sword.
E os que comerem os seus manjares o quebrantarão; e o exercito d'elle inundará, e cairão muitos traspassados.
27 And as for these two kings, their hearts will be fixed on doing evil and they will say false words at one table; but it will come to nothing: for the end will be at the time fixed.
Tambem estes dois reis terão o coração attento para fazerem o mal, e a uma mesma mesa fallarão a mentira, mas não prosperará, porque o fim ainda terá logar no tempo determinado.
28 And he will go back to his land with great wealth; and his heart will be against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure and go back to his land.
E tornará para a sua terra com grande riqueza, e o seu coração será contra o sancto concerto; e obrará, e tornará para a sua terra
29 At the time fixed he will come back and come into the south; but in the later time it will not be as it was before.
Ao tempo determinado tornará a vir contra o sul; mas não será a ultima como a primeira vez.
30 For those who go out from the west will come against him, and he will be in fear and will go back, full of wrath against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure: and he will go back and be united with those who have given up the holy agreement.
Porque virão contra elle navios de Chittim, de que se entristecerá; e tornará, e se indignará contra o sancto concerto, e obrará, porque tornará a attender aos que tiverem desamparado o sancto concerto.
31 And armies sent by him will take up their position and they will make unclean the holy place, even the strong place, and take away the regular burned offering and put in its place an unclean thing causing fear.
E sairão a elle uns braços, e profanarão o sanctuario e a fortaleza, e tirarão o continuo sacrificio, e porão a abominação assoladora.
32 And those who do evil against the agreement will be turned to sin by his fair words: but the people who have knowledge of their God will be strong and do well.
E aos violadores do concerto com lisonjas fará usar de hypocrisia, mas o povo que conhece ao seu Deus se esforçará e fará proezas.
33 And those who are wise among the people will be the teachers of the mass of the people: but they will come to their downfall by the sword and by the flame, being made prisoners and undergoing loss for a long time.
E os entendidos entre o povo ensinarão a muitos; e cairão pela espada, e pelo fogo, e pelo captiveiro, e pelo roubo, por muitos dias.
34 Now at the time of their downfall they will have a little help, but numbers will be joined to them in the town, and in their separate heritages.
E, caindo elles, serão ajudados com pequeno soccorro; e muitos se ajuntarão com elles com lisonjas.
35 And some of those who are wise will have wisdom in testing themselves and making themselves clean, till the time of the end: for it is still for the fixed time.
E alguns dos entendidos cairão, para os provar, e purgar, e embranquecer, até ao fim do tempo, porque será ainda até ao tempo determinado.
36 And the king will do his pleasure; he will put himself on high, lifting himself over every god, and saying things to be wondered at against the God of gods; and all will be well for him till the wrath is complete; for what has been purposed will be done.
E este rei fará conforme a sua vontade, e se levantará, e se engrandecerá sobre todo o deus; e contra o Deus dos deuses fallará coisas maravilhosas, e será prospero, até que a ira seja acabada; porque aquillo que está determinado será feito.
37 He will have no respect for the gods of his fathers or for the god desired by women; he will have no respect for any god: for he will put himself on high over all.
E não terá respeito algum ao Deus de seus paes, nem terá respeito ao amor das mulheres, nem a algum outro deus, porque sobre tudo se engrandecerá.
38 But in place of this he will give honour to the god of armed places, and to a god of whom his fathers had no knowledge he will give honour with gold and silver and jewels and things to be desired.
E ao deus das fortalezas honrará em seu logar, a saber, ao deus a quem seus paes não conheceram honrará com oiro, e com prata, e com pedras preciosas, e com coisas desejadas.
39 And he will make use of the people of a strange god to keep his strongest places; to those whom he takes note of he will give high honour: and he will make them rulers over the mass of the people, and will make division of the land for a price.
E fará os castellos fortes com o deus estranho; aos que reconhecer multiplicará a honra, e os fará reinar sobre muitos, e repartirá a terra por preço.
40 And at the time of the end, the king of the south will make an attack on him: and the king of the north will come against him like a storm-wind, with war-carriages and horsemen and numbers of ships; and he will go through many lands like overflowing waters.
E, no fim do tempo, o rei do sul lhe dará marradas, e o rei do norte o accommetterá com carros, e com cavalleiros, e com muitos navios; e entrará nas terras, e as inundará, e passará.
41 And he will come into the beautiful land, and tens of thousands will be overcome: but these will be kept from falling into his hands: Edom and Moab and the chief of the children of Ammon.
E entrará na terra gloriosa, e muitas terras serão derribadas, mas escaparão da sua mão estes: Edom e Moab, e as primicias dos filhos d'Amon.
42 And his hand will be stretched out on the countries: and the land of the south will not be safe from him.
E estenderá a sua mão ás terras, e a terra do Egypto não escapará.
43 But he will have power over the stores of gold and silver, and over all the valued things of the south: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will be at his steps.
E apoderar-se-ha dos thesouros de oiro e de prata, e de todas as coisas desejadas do Egypto; e os lybios e os ethiopes o seguirão.
44 But he will be troubled by news from the east and from the north; and he will go out in great wrath, to send destruction on, and put an end to, great numbers.
Mas os rumores do oriente e do norte o espantarão; e sairá com grande furor, para destruir e extirpar a muitos.
45 He will put the tents of his great house between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain: but he will come to his end with no helper.
E armará as tendas do seu palacio entre o mar grande, no monte sancto e glorioso; mas virá ao seu fim, e não haverá quem o soccorra.
