Daniel 11
1 “And so, from the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood firm, so that he might be reinforced and strengthened.
瑪待人達理阿王元年，他前來堅固我，協助我。
2 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.
現在我要把真事告訴你：看，在波斯還要興起三位君王，第四位要擁有大量的財富，遠遠超過以前所有的君王；他因財富而強盛，於是煽動萬國對抗雅汪國。
3 But there will rise up a strong king, and he will rule with great power, and he will do what he pleases.
以後要興起一位英勇的君王，他獨掌大權，統治一切，為所欲為。
4 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.
但當他極盛的時候，他的國必要瓦解，他的天下必要四分五裂，而不歸於他的後裔；也沒有相似他所有的統治權，他的國必要滅亡，歸屬不是他後裔的外人。
5 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.
南方的君王要強盛起來，但他的將領中，有一個比他更強的要獲得政權；他王國的勢力非常強大。
6 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.
幾年以後他們要締結同盟，南方君王的公主要嫁給北方的君王，以求修好；但是她得不到勢力，她和她所生的也不能久存；她和她的侍從，她的兒子以及輔助她的都要被殺害。到那時，
7 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.
必從她根上出生一個嫩枝，繼承父位；他必興師出征，進入北方君王的保壘，將他們擊敗，獲得勝利；
8 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.
並將他們的神像、鑄像和金銀寶器劫往埃及，從此數年之久與北方的君王對峙；
9 And the king of the South will enter into the kingdom, and will return to his own land.
但北方的君王終要侵入南方君王的國土，事後仍返回本國。
10 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.
他的兒子必要備戰，招募強大的勁旅，親自出征；衝過時，相似洪水氾濫；他必猛攻，直逼敵軍的保壘。
11 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.
南方的君王必然大怒，出師與北方的君王交戰，北方的君王也必調集大軍，但這支大軍必被交在敵方手中。
12 And he will seize a multitude, and his heart will be exalted, and he will cast down many thousands, but he will not prevail.
這支大軍被擄去以後，南方的君王便心高氣傲，不過他雖擊斃千萬大軍，仍不能強盛，
13 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.
因為北方君王必再調集大軍，比以前更為龐大，數年以後，再率領大軍，帶著大量的輜重，出征南下。
14 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.
那時，將有許多人起來攻擊南方君王，你百姓中的匪徒也要起來，為應驗異象，但他們終必失敗。
15 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.
北方的君王就前來，興建壁壘，攻取堅城，南方的軍隊不能抵抗，連精銳的部隊也無力抵禦。
16 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.
來攻南方君王的，必任意而行，沒有人能抵抗；他還要立足在華麗之地，破壞之權操在他手中。
17 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.
他企圖征服整個南國，遂與南方君王立約通婚，將自己的女兒嫁給他，好傾覆他的國，但是他的企圖沒有成功，也沒有見效。
18 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.
此後，他要轉向各島嶼，佔據了許多島嶼；但有一個將官要阻止他的蠻橫，使他的蠻橫害了自己。
19 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.
他遂轉身回到他國內的保壘裏，終於一蹶不振，從此消失不見。
20 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.
以後另有一人代他興起，他要派橫徵暴歛的人遍行國內華麗之地，但他沒有過幾天，就喪了命，不是由於叛變，也不是由於作戰。
21 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.
這以後將有一個下賤的人代他興起；原來人沒有將治國的權力授給他，他卻乘人不備，以陰謀篡奪了王位。
22 And the arms of the fighting will be assaulted before his face and will be shattered, and, in addition, the leader of the federation.
來進攻他的大軍要被他完全擊潰，同盟之君也要被擊敗。
23 And, after making friends, he will trick him, and he will go up and will overcome with a small people.
有人與他聯合，他即施行騙術；他借助少數的人民，就漸漸強大起來。
24 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.
他又乘人不備，侵入省內肥沃之區，實行他祖先及他祖先的祖先所未行過的事，將戰利品、掠奪物和財產分給自己的黨羽；又策劃陰謀進攻保壘，但只到某一限期。
25 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.
他要竭盡自己的精力，鼓起勇氣，率領大軍進攻南方君王；南方君王亦率領極強大的勁旅奮起迎戰，但無法抵禦，因為有人籌劃陰謀陷害他；
26 And those who eat bread with him will crush him, and his army will be suppressed, and very many will die, having been executed.
那些破壞他的，正是吃他飯的人；他的勁旅將潰不成軍，傷亡的極多。
27 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.
兩位君王都存心不良，同坐一桌，各說謊話，而毫無成就，因為必須到所定的時期，纔有結局。
28 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.
北方的君王卻要帶著大量的財物返回本國；他既存心與聖約作對，也必採取行動，然後纔回國。
29 At the appointed time, he will return, and he will approach the South, but the latter time will not be like the former.
到了預定的時期，他必再度南征，但是第二次卻不如第一次，
30 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.
因為此次基廷的船必來攻擊他，他只得驚慌而歸。他遂遷怒於聖約，任意妄為；回去以後，他必重用那些背棄聖約的人士。
31 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.
那些迎合他意思的軍隊，也去褻瀆聖所的保壘，廢除日常祭，在那裏設立了那招致荒涼的可憎之物。
32 And the impious within the testament will imitate deceitfully, but the people, knowing their God, will persevere and will act.
至於那些作惡違犯聖約的人士，他要用詐術使他們更加敗壞，但那認識自己天主的人民必也更加堅強有力。
33 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.
民間賢明之士必要訓誨民眾，但他們有很多日子要受刀劍、烈火、充軍和劫掠的迫害。
34 And when they have fallen, they will be supported with a little help, but many will apply to them deceitfully.
在他們受迫害時，稍微得到一些援助，但是有許多人卻懷著奸詐的心與他們聯合。
35 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.
有些賢明之士要受迫害，是為鍛鍊、洗滌和潔淨他們，直到時期結束，因為預定的時期尚未來到。
36 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.
這位君王要任意妄為，妄自尊大，高舉自己在眾神之上，要發出怪謬的言論，反抗萬神之神，他暫時行事順利，直到天主的義怒洩盡，因為天主決定的事必要應驗。
37 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.
他不尊重自己祖先的神，也不尊重婦女們所愛的神，他不尊重任何神明，因為他將自己高舉在一切之上；
38 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.
卻去敬拜保壘之神，以金銀、寶石和珍品恭奉他祖先所不認識的神。
39 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.
他要憑藉外神的助佑，攻擊堅固的保壘；凡附和他的，他必增加他們的光榮，使他們治理民眾，分封土地，做為賞報。
40 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.
到末期，南方的君王將要與他交戰；北方的君王也要率領戰車、騎兵和許多戰艦，像旋風般向他還擊，侵入他的國土；所經之地，有如洪水破堤。
41 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.
他要侵入華麗之地，千萬人要喪亡，但是厄東、摩阿布和大部分阿孟子民，卻要逃脫他的手。
42 And he will cast his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape.
他又要伸手攻擊各國，埃及地亦不能幸免；
43 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.
他要佔有金銀府庫和埃及的一切寶物。利比亞和雇士人也要來與他聯合。
44 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.
但是來自東方和北方的消息要使他震驚；他遂懷著盛怒去討伐，要許多人殺盡滅絕。
45 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.”
他要在海洋和美麗聖山之間，支搭他堂皇的帳幕，但此時已到了他的末日，已沒有任何人能援助他。
