Daniel 11

1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to be a supporter and a stronghold unto him.

Y en el año primero de Darío, el de Media, yo estuve para animarle, y fortalecerle.

2 And now will I declare unto thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all; and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.

Y ahora yo te mostraré la verdad: He aquí que aun tres reyes estarán en Persia; y el cuarto se enriquecerá de grandes riquezas, más que todos; y fortificándose con sus riquezas, despertará a todos contra el reino de Grecia.

3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

Y levantarse ha un rey valiente, el cual se enseñoreará sobre gran señorío, y hará a su voluntad.

4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

Y cuando se hubiere enseñoreado, su reino será quebrantado, y será partido en los cuatro vientos del cielo, y no a su descendiente, ni según el señorío con que él se enseñoreó; porque su reino será arrancado, y para otros fuera de estos.

5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

Y hacerse ha fuerte el rey del mediodía y de sus principados, y sobrepujarle ha, y apoderarse ha, y su señorío será grande señorío.

6 And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement; but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begot her, and he that obtained her in those times.

Mas al cabo de algunos años se concertarán, y la hija del rey del mediodía vendrá al rey del norte, para hacer los conciertos: Mas no tendrá fuerza de brazo, ni permanecerá él, ni su brazo. Porque ella será entregada, y los que la hubieron traído, y su padre, y los que estaban de su parte en aquellos días.

7 But one of the shoots of her roots shall stand up in his place, and shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the stronghold of the king of the north, and shall deal with them, and shall prevail;

Mas del renuevo de sus raíces se levantará sobre su silla, y vendrá al ejército, y entrará en la fortaleza del rey del norte, y hará en ellos a su voluntad, y corroborarse ha.

8 and also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he bring into captivity into Egypt; and he shall desist some years from the king of the north.

Y aun los dioses de ellos, con sus príncipes, con sus vasos preciosos de plata y de oro, llevará cautivos a Egipto. Y por algunos años él se mantendrá contra el rey del norte.

9 And he shall come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.

Y vendrá en el reino el rey del mediodía, y volverá a su tierra.

10 And his sons shall stir themselves up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, and he shall come on, and overflow, as he passes through; and he shall return and stir himself up, even to his stronghold.

Mas sus hijos se airarán, y juntarán multitud de muchos ejércitos, y vendrá a gran priesa, e inundará, y pasará, y tornará, y llegará con ira hasta su fortaleza.

11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, but the multitude shall be given into his hand.

Por lo cual el rey del mediodía se enojará, y saldrá, y peleará con el mismo rey del norte; y pondrá en campo gran multitud, y toda aquella multitud será entregada en su mano.

12 and the multitude shall be carried away, and his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down tens of thousands; but he shall not prevail.

Por lo cual la multitud se ensoberbecerá, elevarse ha su corazón, y derribará muchos millares, y no prevalecerá.

13 And the king of the north shall again set forth a multitude, greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with much substance.

Y volverá el rey del norte, y pondrá en campo mayor multitud que primero; y al cabo del tiempo de algunos años vendrá a gran priesa con grande ejército, y con muchas riquezas.

14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south; also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall stumble.

Mas en aquellos tiempos muchos se levantarán contra el rey del mediodía; e hijos de disipadores de tu pueblo se levantarán para confirmar la profecía, y caerán.

15 And the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city; and the arms of the south shall not withstand; and as for his chosen people, there shall be no strength in them to withstand.

Y vendrá el rey del norte, y fundará baluartes, y tomará la ciudad fuerte, y los brazos del mediodía no podrán permanecer, ni su pueblo escogido, ni habrá fortaleza que pueda resistir.

16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the beauteous land, and in his hand shall be extermination.

Y el que vendrá contra él, hará a su voluntad, ni habrá quien se le pueda parar delante; y estará en la tierra deseable, la cual será consumida en su poder.

17 And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, but shall make an agreement with him; and he shall give him the daughter of women, to destroy it; but it shall not stand, neither be for him.

Y pondrá su rostro para venir con la potencia de todo su reino, y hará con él cosas rectas, y darle ha una hija de sus mujeres para trastornarla: mas no estará, ni será por él.

18 After this shall he set his face unto the isles, and shall take many; but a captain shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, he shall cause his own reproach to return upon him.

Volverá después su rostro a las islas, y tomará muchas; y un príncipe le hará parar su vergüenza, y aun volverá sobre él su vergüenza.

19 Then he shall turn his face toward the strongholds of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.

De aquí volverá su rostro a las fortalezas de su tierra; y tropezará, y caerá, y no parecerá más.

20 Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

Mas sucedará en su silla quien quitará las exacciones, el cual será gloria del reino: mas en pocos días será quebrantado, no en enojo, ni en batalla.

21 And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, upon whom had not been conferred the majesty of the kingdom; but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by blandishments.

Y sucederá en su lugar un vil, al cual no darán la honra del reino: mas vendrá con paz, y tomará el reino con halagos.

22 And the arms of the flood shall be swept away from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

Y los brazos serán inundados de inundación delante de él; y serán quebrantados, y aun también el capitán del concierto.

23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; and he shall come up and become strong, with a little nation.

Y después de los conciertos con él, él hará engañó; y subirá, y saldrá vencedor con poca gente.

24 In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers: he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance; yea, he shall devise his devices against fortresses, but only until the time.

Estando la provincia en paz, y en abundancia, entrará, y hará lo que nunca hicieron sus padres, ni los padres de sus padres: presa, y despojos, y riqueza repartirá a sus soldados; y contra las fortalezas pensará con sus pensamientos; y esto por tiempo.

25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall stir himself up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him.

Y despertará sus fuerzas y su corazón contra el rey del mediodía con grande ejército; y el rey del mediodía será provocado a la guerra con grande ejército y muy fuerte: mas no prevalecerá, porque le harán traición.

26 Yea, they that eat of his food shall destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall down slain.

Y los que comerán su pan, le quebrantarán; y su ejército será destruido, y caerán muchos muertos.

27 And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper, for the end remaineth yet for the time appointed.

Y el corazón de estos dos reyes será para hacer se mal; y en una misma mesa tratarán mentira: mas no servirá de nada; porque el plazo aun no es llegado.

28 And he shall return to his own land with great substance; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do his pleasure, and return to his own land.

Y volverse ha a su tierra con grande riqueza; y su corazón será contra el santo concierto; y hará, y volverse ha a su tierra.

29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.

Al tiempo señalado tornará al mediodía: mas no será la postrera venida como la primera.

30 For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be cowed, and he shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do his pleasure; and he shall return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant.

Porque vendrán contra él naves de Quitim; y él se contristará, y tornarse ha, y enojarse ha contra el santo concierto, y hará; y volverse ha, y pensará contra los que habrán desamparado el santo concierto.

31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the stronghold, and shall take away the continual burnt-offering, and they shall set up the detestable thing that causeth appalment.

Y serán puestos brazos de su parte, y contaminarán el santuario de fortaleza; y quitarán el continuo sacrificio, y pondrán la abominación espantosa.

32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall be corrupt by blandishments; but the people that know their God shall show strength, and prevail.

Y con lisonjas hará pecar a los violadores del concierto: mas el pueblo que conoce a su Dios se esforzará, y hará.

33 And they that are wise among the people shall cause the many to understand; yet they shall stumble by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, many days.

Y los sabios del pueblo darán sabiduría a muchos; y morirán a cuchillo, a fuego, y cautividad, y saco, por algunos días.

34 Now when they shall stumble, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves unto them with blandishments.

Y en su caer serán ayudados de pequeño socorro; y muchos se juntarán con ellos con lisonjas.

35 And some of them that are wise shall stumble, to refine among them, and to purify, and to make white, even to the time of the end; for it is yet for the time appointed.

Mas de los sabios caerán, para ser purgados, y limpiados, y emblanquecidos, hasta el tiempo determinado; porque aun para esto hay plazo.

36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak strange things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.

Y el rey hará a su voluntad; y ensoberbecerse ha, y engrandecerse ha sobre todo dios; y contra el Dios de los dioses hablará maravillas, y será prosperado, hasta que la ira sea acabada; porque hecha está determinación.

37 Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers; and neither the desire of women, nor any god, shall he regard; for he shall magnify himself above all.

Y del Dios de sus padres no hará caso, ni del amor de las mujeres: ni se cuidará de Dios alguno; porque sobre todo se engrandecerá.

38 But in his place shall he honour the god of strongholds; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and costly things.

Mas al dios Mauzim honrará en su lugar, dios que sus padres no conocieron: honrarle ha con oro, y plata, y piedras preciosas, y con cosas de gran precio.

39 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god; whom he shall acknowledge, shall increase glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.

Y con el dios ajeno que conocerá, hará castillos fuertes, ensanchará su gloria, y hacerlos ha señores sobre muchos, y repartirá la tierra por precio.

40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow, as he passes through.

Mas al cabo del tiempo el rey del mediodía se acorneará con él, y el rey del norte levantará contra él tempestad, con carros, y gente de a caballo, y muchos navíos; y entrará por las tierras, e inundará, y pasará.

41 He shall enter also into the beauteous land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

Y vendrá en la tierra deseable, y muchas provincias caerán: mas estas escaparán de su mano, Edom, y Moab, y lo primero de los hijos de Ammón.

42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

Y extendará su mano a las tierras; y la tierra de Egipto no escapará.

43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

Y apoderarse ha de los tesoros de oro y plata, y de todas las cosas preciosas de Egipto, de Libia, y Etiopía por donde pasará.

44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall affright him; and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to take away many.

Mas nuevas de oriente y del norte le espantarán; y saldrá con grande ira para destruir y matar muchos.

45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the beauteous holy mountain; and he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Y plantará las tiendas de su palacio entre los mares, en el monte deseable del santuario; y vendrá hasta su fin, y no tendrá quien le ayude.
