Daniel 11
1 “And so, from the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood firm, so that he might be reinforced and strengthened.
og jeg stod ogsaa for ham som Hjælper og Værn i Mederen Darius's første Aar. —
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.
Og nu vil jeg kundgøre dig Sandhed: Se, der skal endnu opstaa tre Konger for Persien, og den fjerde skal berige sig med større Rigdom end alle de andre, og naar han er bleven mægtig ved sin Rigdom, skal han opbyde alt imod Grækenlands Rige.
3 But there will rise up a strong king, and he will rule with great power, and he will do what he pleases.
Derefter skal der opstaa en vældig Konge og herske med stort Herredømme og gøre efter sin Villie.
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.
Og som han opstaar, skal hans Rige sønderbrydes og deles imod Himmelens fire Vejr, og det skal ikke være for hans efterladte, ej heller et Herredømme som hans Herredømme, men hans Rige skal oprykkes og blive andre end disse til Del.
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.
Og Kongen af Sønden skal vorde mægtig, men der er en af hans Fyrster, som skal blive mægtigere end han og herske, hans Herredom skal blive et stort Herredom.
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.
Og naar nogle Aar ere til Ende, skulle de indgaa Forbindelse, og Kongen af Søndens Datter skal drage ind til Kongen af Norden for at bringe et redeligt Forhold til Veje; men hun skal ikke beholde Armens Kraft, og han og hans Arm skal ikke bestaa, men hun skal gives hen tillige med dem, som bragte hende did, og ham, som avlede hende og understøttede hende, naar Tiderne komme.
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.
Og af Skud fra hendes Rødder skal der opstaa een i hans Sted og drage imod Hæren og trænge ind i Kongen af Nordens Fæstninger og handle med dem efter sin Villie og faa Overmagt.
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.
Ja, ogsaa deres Guder tillige med deres støbte Billeder, tillige med deres kostbare Kar, Sølv og Guld, skal han føre som Bytte til Ægypten; og han skal holde Stand nogle Aar imod Kongen af Norden.
9 And the king of the South will enter into the kingdom, and will return to his own land.
Og denne skal drage ind i Kongen af Søndens Rige; men han skal vende tilbage til sit Land igen.
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.
Og hans Sønner skulle ruste sig og samle en Hob af mange Hære og komme og drage ind og oversvømme og overfare; og de skulle komme igen og trænge frem indtil hans Fæstning.
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.
Og Kongen af Sønden skal forbitres og drage ud at stride imod ham, imod Kongen af Norden; og skønt denne opstiller en stor Hob, skal Hoben dog gives i hans Haand.
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.
Som Hoben hæver sig, skal hans Hjerte ophøje sig, og han skal fælde ti Tusinde og dog ikke blive mægtig.
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.
Og Kongen af Norden skal komme tilbage og opstille en større Hob end den første, og efter at nogle Aars Tider ere til Ende, skal han komme og drage frem med en stor Hær og med meget Tros.
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.
Og i de samme Tider skulle mange staa frem imod Kongen af Sønden, og Sønnerne af Røverne iblandt dit Folk skulle rejse sig for at stadfæste Synet; men de skulle falde.
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.
Og Kongen af Norden skal komme og opkaste en Vold og indtage en stærkt befæstet Stad, og Søndens Arme skulle ikke kunne holde ud, ej heller hans udvalgte Folk, og der skal ingen Kraft være til at holde Stand.
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.
Men den, som kommer imod ham, skal gøre efter sin Villie, og ingen skal bestaa for hans Ansigt; han skal og træde op i det herlige Land, og der skal komme Fordærvelse ved hans Haand.
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.
Og han skal vende sit Ansigt til at komme med al sit Riges Magt og med et redeligt Forhold i Sinde, og han skal sætte det igennem, og han skal give ham sin unge Datter til hendes Fordærvelse; men hun skal ikke bestaa og ikke blive til noget for ham.
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.
Derefter skal han vende sit Ansigt om imod Øerne og indtage mange; og han skal bringe Fyrster til at høre op med deres Haan, men hans Haan skulle de gengælde ham.
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.
Og han skal vende sit Ansigt om til sit Lands Fæstninger, og han skal snuble og falde og ikke findes mere.
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.
Og der skal een opstaa i hans Sted, som skal lade en Plager drage igennem Rigets Herlighed; men i faa Dage skal han knuses, dog ikke ved Vrede og ikke ved Krigen.
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.
Siden skal der opstaa i hans Sted en foragtet, hvilken de ikke skulle give kongelig Ære; men han skal komme, naar der er Tryghed, og bemægtige sig Riget ved Smiger.
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.
Og de oversvømmende Magter skulle oversvømmes af ham og knuses, ogsaa Forbundets Fyrste.
23 And, after making friends, he will trick him, and he will go up and will overcome with a small people.
Og efter at have indgaaet Forbund med ham skal han øve Svig, og han skal drage op og blive mægtig ved faa Folk.
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.
Hvor der er Tryghed, og hvor der er fede Egne i Landskabet, skal han trænge ind og gøre det, som hans Fædre og hans Forfædre ikke have gjort, han skal adsprede for dem Rov, Bytte og Gods; og han skal optænke sine Anslag imod de faste Stæder, og det til en Tid.
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.
Og han skal opvække sin Kraft og sit Mod med en stor Hær imod Kongen af Sønden, og Kongen af Sønden skal ruste sig til Krig med en stor og saare mægtig Hær, men ikke bestaa; thi der skal optænkes Anslag imod ham.
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.
Og de, som æde hans Mad, skulle knuse ham, og hans Hær skal strømme frem, men der skal falde mange ihjelslagne.
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.
Og begge Kongernes Hjerte staar til at gøre ondt, og over eet Bord skulle de tale Løgn; men det skal ikke lykkes, thi endnu venter det med Enden til den bestemte Tid.
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.
Og han skal vende tilbage til sit Land med stort Gods, og hans Hjerte skal lægge Raad op imod den hellige Pagt, og han skal fuldføre det og vende tilbage til sit Land.
29 At the appointed time, he will return, and he will approach the South, but the latter time will not be like the former.
Paa den bestemte Tid skal han vende tilbage og komme imod Sønden; men det skal ikke gaa den sidste Gang som den første.
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.
Men Skibe fra Kithim skulle komme imod ham, og han skal tabe Modet og vende om og optændes til Vrede imod den hellige Pagt og udføre den, ja, han skal vende om og give Agt paa dem, som forlade den hellige Pagt.
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.
Og en Stridsmagt fra ham skal staa frem og vanhellige Helligdommen, den faste Borg, og den skal borttage den stadige Tjeneste og opstille den ødelæggende Vederstyggelighed.
32 And the impious within the testament will imitate deceitfully, but the people, knowing their God, will persevere and will act.
Og dem, som handle ugudeligt imod Pagten, skal han ved Smiger bringe til Frafald; men de af Folket, som kende deres Gud, skulle staa fast og vise det i Gerning.
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.
Og de forstandige iblandt Folket skulle undervise mange; men de skulle en Tid lang falde ved Sværd og ved Ildslue, ved Fangenskab og ved Plyndring.
34 And when they have fallen, they will be supported with a little help, but many will apply to them deceitfully.
Og naar de falde, skulle de blive hjulpne med en liden Hjælp; og mange skulle slutte sig til dem med Smiger.
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.
Og af de forstandige skulle nogle falde, for at smelte og lutre og rense Folket indtil Endens Tid; thi endnu venter det med den til den bestemte Tid.
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.
Og Kongen skal gøre efter sin Villie og ophøje sig og gøre sig stor over enhver Gud og tale forfærdelige Ord imod Gudernes Gud; og han skal have Lykke, indtil Vreden er til Ende; thi hvad der er bestemt, det sker.
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.
Og han skal ikke agte paa sine Fædres Guder, ej heller skal han agte paa Kvinders Ynde eller paa nogen Glid; thi han skal ophøje sig storlig over alt.
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.
Men Fæstningernes Gud skal han ære paa dens Sted; og den Gud, som hans Fædre ikke kendte, skal han ære med Guld og med Sølv og med dyrebare Stene og med Kostbarheder.
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.
Og han skal handle med de stærke Fæstninger ved den fremmede Guds Hjælp, saaledes at han skal bevise dem, som erkende ham, megen Ære, og han skal lade dem herske over mange og uddele Land til Løn.
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.
Men ved Endens Tid skal Kongen af Sønden stanges med ham, og Kongen af Norden skal storme frem imod ham med Vogne og med Ryttere og med mange Skibe og trænge ind i Landene og overskylle og overfare dem.
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.
Og han skal trænge ind i det herlige Land, og mange skulle falde; men disse skulle undkomme fra hans Haand: Edom og Moab og de ypperste af Ammons Børn.
42 And he will cast his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape.
Og han skal udstrække sin Haand efter Landene, og Ægyptens Land skal ikke staa til Redning.
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.
Og han skal blive Herre over Skatte af Guld og Sølv og over alle kostelige Ting i Ægypten; og Lybier og Morianer skulle følge ham.
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.
Men Tidender fra Østen og fra Norden skulle forfærde ham; og han skal drage ud med stor Grumhed for at udrydde og for at ødelægge mange.
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.”
Og han skal opslaa sit Pragttelt imellem Havet og det herlige, hellige Bjerg, men naa sin Ende, og ingen skal hjælpe ham.
