< Daniel 11 >

1 And from the first year of Darius the Mede I stood up that he might be strengthened and confirmed.
又说:“当米底亚王大流士元年,我曾起来扶助米迦勒,使他坚强。”
2 And now I will shew thee the truth. Behold there shall stand yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be enriched exceedingly above them all: and when he shall be grown mighty by his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
现在我将真事指示你: “波斯还有三王兴起,第四王必富足远胜诸王。他因富足成为强盛,就必激动大众攻击希腊国。
3 But there shall rise up a strong king, and shall rule with great power: and he shall do what he pleaseth.
必有一个勇敢的王兴起,执掌大权,随意而行。
4 And when he shall come to his height, his kingdom shall be broken, and it shall 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 shall be rent in pieces, even for strangers, beside these.
他兴起的时候,他的国必破裂,向天的四方分开,却不归他的后裔,治国的权势也都不及他;因为他的国必被拔出,归与他后裔之外的人。
5 And the king of the south shall be strengthened, and one of his princes shall prevail over him, and he shall rule with great power: for his dominion shall be great.
“南方的王必强盛,他将帅中必有一个比他更强盛,执掌权柄,他的权柄甚大。
6 And after the end of years they shall be in league together: and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make friendship, but she shall not obtain the strength of the arm, neither shall her seed stand: and she shall be given up, and her young men that brought her, and they that strengthened her in these times.
过些年后,他们必互相连合,南方王的女儿必就了北方王来立约;但这女子帮助之力存立不住,王和他所倚靠之力也不能存立。这女子和引导她来的,并生她的,以及当时扶助她的,都必交与死地。
7 And a plant of the bud of her roots, shall stand up: and he shall come with an army, and shall enter into the province of the king of the north: and he shall abuse them, and shall prevail.
但这女子的本家必另生一子继续王位,他必率领军队进入北方王的保障,攻击他们,而且得胜;
8 And he shall also carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven things, and their precious vessels of gold and silver: he shall prevail against the king of the north.
并将他们的神像和铸成的偶像,与金银的宝器掠到埃及去。数年之内,他不去攻击北方的王。
9 And the king of the south shall enter into the kingdom, and shall return to his own land.
北方的王必入南方王的国,却要仍回本地。
10 And his sons shall be provoked, and they shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and he shall come with haste like a flood: and he shall return and be stirred up, and he shall join battle with his forces.
“北方王的二子必动干戈,招聚许多军兵。这军兵前去,如洪水泛滥,又必再去争战,直到南方王的保障。
11 And the king of the south being provoked shall go forth, and shall fight against the king of the north, and shall prepare an exceeding great multitude, and a multitude shall be given into his hand.
南方王必发烈怒,出来与北方王争战,摆列大军;北方王的军兵必交付他手。
12 And he shall take a multitude, and his heart shall be lifted up, and he shall cast down many thousands: but he shall not prevail.
他的众军高傲,他的心也必自高;他虽使数万人仆倒,却不得常胜。
13 For the king of the north shall return and shall prepare a multitude much greater than before: and in the end of times and years, be shall come in haste with a great army, and much riches.
“北方王必回来摆列大军,比先前的更多。满了所定的年数,他必率领大军,带极多的军装来。
14 And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south, and the children of prevaricators of thy people shall lift up themselves to fulfill the vision, and they shall fall.
那时,必有许多人起来攻击南方王,并且你本国的强暴人必兴起,要应验那异象,他们却要败亡。
15 And the king of the north shall come, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take the best fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up to resist, and they shall not have strength.
北方王必来筑垒攻取坚固城;南方的军兵必站立不住,就是选择的精兵也无力站住。
16 And he shall come upon him and do according to his pleasure, and there shall be none to stand against his face: and he shall stand in the glorious land, and it shall be consumed by his hand.
来攻击他的,必任意而行,无人在北方王面前站立得住。他必站在那荣美之地,用手施行毁灭。
17 And he shall set his face to come to possess all his kingdom, and he shall make upright conditions with him: and he shall give him a daughter of women, to overthrow it: and she shall not stand, neither shall she be for him.
“他必定意用全国之力而来,立公正的约,照约而行,将自己的女儿给南方王为妻,想要败坏他,这计却不得成就,与自己毫无益处。
18 And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many: and he shall cause the prince of his reproach to cease, and his reproach shall be turned upon him.
其后他必转回夺取了许多海岛。但有一大帅,除掉他令人受的羞辱,并且使这羞辱归他本身。
19 And he shall turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he shall stumble, and fall, and shall not be found.
他就必转向本地的保障,却要绊跌仆倒,归于无有。
20 And there shall stand up in his place, one most vile, and unworthy of kingly honour: and in a few days he shall be destroyed, not in rage nor in battle.
“那时,必有一人兴起接续他为王,使横征暴敛的人通行国中的荣美地。这王不多日就必灭亡,却不因忿怒,也不因争战。”
21 And there shall stand up in his place one despised, and the kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and shall obtain the kingdom by fraud.
“必有一个卑鄙的人兴起接续为王,人未曾将国的尊荣给他,他却趁人坦然无备的时候,用谄媚的话得国。
22 And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before his face, and shall be broken; yea also the prince of the covenant.
必有无数的军兵势如洪水,在他面前冲没败坏;同盟的君也必如此。
23 And after friendships, he will deal deceitfully with him: and he shall go up, and shall overcome with a small people.
与那君结盟之后,他必行诡诈,因为他必上来以微小的军成为强盛。
24 And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities: and he shall do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers: he shall scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time.
趁人坦然无备的时候,他必来到国中极肥美之地,行他列祖和他列祖之祖所未曾行的,将掳物、掠物,和财宝散给众人,又要设计攻打保障,然而这都是暂时的。
25 And his strength and his heart shall be stirred up against the king of the south with a great army: and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with many and very strong succours: and they shall not stand, for they shall form designs against him.
“他必奋勇向前,率领大军攻击南方王;南方王也必以极大极强的军兵与他争战,却站立不住,因为有人设计谋害南方王。
26 And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain.
吃王膳的,必败坏他;他的军队必被冲没,而且被杀的甚多。
27 And the heart of the two kings shall be to do evil, and they shall speak lies at one table, and they shall not prosper: because as yet the end is unto another time.
至于这二王,他们心怀恶计,同席说谎,计谋却不成就;因为到了定期,事就了结。
28 And he shall return into his land with much riches: and his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall succeed and shall return into his own land.
北方王必带许多财宝回往本国,他的心反对圣约,任意而行,回到本地。
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and he shall come to the south, but the latter time shall not be like the former.
“到了定期,他必返回,来到南方。后一次却不如前一次,
30 And the galleys and the Romans shall come upon him, and he shall be struck, and shall return, and shall have indignation against the covenant of the sanctuary, and he shall succeed: and he shall return and shall devise against them that have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
因为基提战船必来攻击他,他就丧胆而回,又要恼恨圣约,任意而行;他必回来联络背弃圣约的人。
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall defile the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the continual sacrifice, and they shall place there the abomination unto desolation.
他必兴兵,这兵必亵渎圣地,就是保障,除掉常献的燔祭,设立那行毁坏可憎的。
32 And such as deal wickedly against the covenant shall deceitfully dissemble: but the people that know their God shall prevail and succeed.
作恶违背圣约的人,他必用巧言勾引;惟独认识 神的子民必刚强行事。
33 And they that are learned among the people shall teach many: and they shall fall by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by spoil for many days.
民间的智慧人必训诲多人;然而他们多日必倒在刀下,或被火烧,或被掳掠抢夺。
34 And when they shall have fallen they shall be relieved with a small help: and many shall be joined to them deceitfully.
他们仆倒的时候,稍得扶助,却有许多人用谄媚的话亲近他们。
35 And some of the learned shall fall, that they may be tried, and may be chosen, and made white even to the appointed time, because yet there shall be another time.
智慧人中有些仆倒的,为要熬炼其余的人,使他们清净洁白,直到末了;因为到了定期,事就了结。
36 And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall be lifted up, and shall magnify himself against every god: and he shall speak great things against the God of gods, and shall prosper, till the wrath be accomplished. For the determination is made.
“王必任意而行,自高自大,超过所有的神,又用奇异的话攻击万神之神。他必行事亨通,直到主的忿怒完毕,因为所定的事必然成就。
37 And he shall make no account of the God of his fathers: and he shall follow the lust of women, and he shall not regard any gods: for he shall rise up against all things.
他必不顾他列祖的神,也不顾妇女所羡慕的神,无论何神他都不顾;因为他必自大,高过一切。
38 But he shall worship the god Maozim in his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not, he shall worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and things of great price.
他倒要敬拜保障的神,用金、银、宝石和可爱之物敬奉他列祖所不认识的神。
39 And he shall do this to fortify Maozim with a strange god, whom he hath acknowledged, and he shall increase glory and shall give them power over many, and shall divide the land gratis.
他必靠外邦神的帮助,攻破最坚固的保障。凡承认他的,他必将荣耀加给他们,使他们管辖许多人,又为贿赂分地与他们。
40 And at the time prefixed the king of the south shall fight against him, and the king of the north shall come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great navy, and he shall enter into the countries, and shall destroy, and pass through.
“到末了,南方王要与他交战。北方王必用战车、马兵,和许多战船,势如暴风来攻击他,也必进入列国,如洪水泛滥。
41 And he shall enter into the glorious land, and many shall fall: and these only shall be saved out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the principality of the children of Ammon.
又必进入那荣美之地,有许多国就被倾覆,但以东人、摩押人,和一大半亚扪人必脱离他的手。
42 And he shall lay his hand upon the lands: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
他必伸手攻击列国;埃及地也不得脱离。
43 And he shall have power over the treasures of gold, and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt: and he shall pass through Libya, and Ethiopia.
他必把持埃及的金银财宝和各样的宝物。利比亚人和古实人都必跟从他。
44 And tidings out of the east, and out of the north shall trouble him: and he shall come with a great multitude to destroy and slay many.
但从东方和北方必有消息扰乱他,他就大发烈怒出去,要将多人杀灭净尽。
45 And he shall fix his tabernacle Apadno between the seas, upon a glorious and holy mountain: and he shall come even to the top thereof, and none shall help him.
他必在海和荣美的圣山中间设立他如宫殿的帐幕;然而到了他的结局,必无人能帮助他。”
