Daniel 11
1 “And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, my standing [is] for a strengthener, and for a stronghold to him;
El primer año de Darío el medo, me levanté para ser un estímulo y protección para él.
2 and now, I declare to you truth: Behold, yet three kings are standing for Persia, and the fourth becomes far richer than all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirs up the whole, with the kingdom of Javan.
Y ahora te anunciaré la verdad: Mira, se levantarán aún tres reyes en Persia, y el cuarto conseguirá grandes riquezas, más que todos ellos. Cuando se fortalezca por medio de sus riquezas, agitará a todos contra el reino de Grecia.
3 And a mighty king has stood, and he has ruled a great dominion, and has done according to his will;
Se levantará luego un rey poderoso que gobernará con gran dominio y hará lo que quiera.
4 and according to his standing is his kingdom broken, and divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom is plucked up—and for others apart from these.
Pero tan pronto como se levante, su reino será quebrantado y repartido a los cuatro puntos cardinales del cielo, pero no a sus descendientes, ni con el poder con el cual él dominó. Porque su reino será arrancado y pasará a otros fuera de aquéllos.
5 And a king of the south—even of his princes—becomes strong, and prevails against him, and has ruled; a great dominion [is] his dominion.
El rey del sur será fuerte, pero uno de sus príncipes será más fuerte que él y ejercerá un dominio mayor que él.
6 And at the end of years they join themselves together, and a daughter of the king of the south comes to the king of the north to do upright things; and she does not retain the power of the arm; and he does not stand, nor his arm; and she is given up, she, and those bringing her in, and her child, and he who is strengthening her in [these] times.
Después de algunos años harán una alianza, y la hija del rey del sur irá al rey del norte para hacer la paz. Pero ella no retendrá su posición de poder, ni él permanecerá con su poder. Ella será entregada junto con los que la llevaron, con el que la engendró y con el que la fortaleció en su tiempo.
7 And [one] has stood up from a branch of her roots, [in] his station, and he comes to the bulwark, indeed, he comes into a stronghold of the king of the north, and has worked against them, and has done mightily;
Pero un renuevo de sus raíces se levantará sobre su trono, quien vendrá con ejército contra el rey del norte. Entrará en la fortaleza del rey del norte, luchará contra ellos y prevalecerá.
8 and also their gods, with their princes, with their desirable vessels of silver and gold, he brings in captivity [to] Egypt; and he stands more years than the king of the north.
También se llevará a Egipto a los ʼelohim de ellos, sus imágenes fundidas y sus objetos preciosos de plata y oro. Por [algunos] años él se mantendrá [contra] el rey del norte.
9 And the king of the south has come into the kingdom, and turned back to his own land;
Y [éste] entrará en el reino del sur y volverá a su tierra.
10 and his sons stir themselves up, and have gathered a multitude of great forces, and he has certainly come in, and overflowed, and passed through, and he turns back, and they stir themselves up to his stronghold.
Pero sus hijos se movilizarán, reunirán una multitud de grandes fuerzas que llegarán, inundarán, pasarán y volverán a hacer guerra, aun contra la fortaleza.
11 And the king of the south becomes embittered, and has gone forth and fought with him, with the king of the north, and has caused a great multitude to stand, and the multitude has been given into his hand,
Por lo cual el rey del sur se enfurecerá. Saldrá, peleará contra el rey del norte y pondrá una gran multitud en campaña. Toda aquella multitud será entregada en su mano.
12 and he has carried away the multitude, his heart is high, and he has caused myriads to fall, and he does not become strong.
Cuando se lleve la multitud, su corazón se enaltecerá. Derribará a muchos millares, pero no prevalecerá.
13 And the king of the north has turned back, and has caused a multitude to stand, greater than the first, and at the end of the times a second time he certainly comes in with a great force, and with much substance;
El rey del norte volverá a alistar una multitud mayor que la primera. Al final de algunos años presionará con un gran ejército y mucho equipo.
14 and in those times many stand up against the king of the south, and sons of the destroyers of your people lift themselves up to establish the vision—and they have stumbled.
En aquellos tiempos se levantarán muchos contra el rey del sur. Hombres violentos de tu pueblo se levantarán para cumplir la visión, pero fracasarán.
15 And the king of the north comes in, and pours out a mound, and has captured fortified cities; and the arms of the south do not stand, nor the people of his choice, indeed, there is no power to stand.
Vendrá el rey del norte, levantará baluartes y tomará la ciudad fortificada. Las fuerzas del sur no podrán sostenerse, ni sus tropas escogidas, porque no [tendrá] fuerzas para resistir.
16 And he who is coming to him does according to his will, and there is none standing before him; and he stands in the desirable land, and [it is] wholly in his hand.
El que vendrá contra él hará lo que quiera, y no habrá quien se le [pueda] enfrentar. Permanecerá en la tierra gloriosa, la cual será destruida bajo su poder.
17 And he sets his face to go in with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he has worked, and the daughter of women he gives to him, to corrupt her; and she does not stand, nor is for him.
Luego [el rey del norte] dirigirá su mirada para conquistar todo el reino [del sur]. Hará convenios con él y le dará a su hija como esposa para destruirlo, pero no permanecerá ni tendrá éxito.
18 And he turns back his face to the islands, and has captured many; and a prince has caused his reproach of himself to cease; without his reproach he turns [it] back to him.
Entonces volverá su rostro a las costas, y tomará muchas [de ellas]. Pero un príncipe hará cesar su afrenta, y aun hará volver su oprobio sobre él.
19 And he turns back his face to the strongholds of his land, and has stumbled and fallen, and is not found.
Luego volverá su mirada hacia las fortalezas de su tierra, pero tropezará y caerá. No se volverá a hallar.
20 And stood up on his station has [one] causing an exactor to pass over the honor of the kingdom, and in a few days he is destroyed, and not in anger, nor in battle.
Se levantará otro en su lugar que enviará un cobrador de tributos por todo el esplendor del reino. Pero a los pocos días será quebrantado, aunque no con furia, ni en batalla.
21 And a despicable one has stood up on his station, and they have not given to him the splendor of the kingdom, and he has come in quietly, and has strengthened the kingdom by flatteries.
Un hombre despreciable le sucederá, a quien no se otorgará la majestad del reino. Pero vendrá con tranquilidad y tomará el reino por medio de intrigas.
22 And the arms of the flood are overflowed from before him, and are broken; and also the leader of the covenant.
Las fuerzas enemigas serán arrasadas como inundación de aguas delante de él. Serán completamente destruidas, junto con el príncipe del pacto.
23 And after they join themselves to him, he works deceit, and has increased, and has been strong by a few of the nation.
Porque después de hacer pacto con él, engañará, subirá y saldrá vencedor con poca gente.
24 Peaceably even into the fertile places of the province He comes, and he has done that which his fathers did not, nor his fathers’ fathers; prey, and spoil, and substance, he scatters to them, and against fortifications he devises his plans, even for a time.
Cuando la provincia esté en paz y abundancia, entrará y hará lo que sus padres y abuelos no hicieron: repartirá botín, despojos y riquezas a sus guerreros. Tramará sus designios contra las fortalezas, pero por un tiempo.
25 And he stirs up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great force, and the king of the south stirs himself up to battle with a very great and mighty force, and does not stand, for they devise plans against him,
Con un gran ejército moverá su poderío y su ardor contra el rey del sur. También el rey del sur se empeñará en la guerra con un ejército grande y poderoso. Pero no prevalecerá, porque habrá designios contra él.
26 and those eating his portion of food destroy him, and his force overflows, and many wounded have fallen.
Aun lo quebrantarán los que coman de sus manjares. Su ejército será destruido y muchos caerán muertos.
27 And both of the kings’ hearts [are] to do evil, and at one table they speak lies, and it does not prosper, for yet the end [is] at a time appointed.
Estos dos reyes maquinarán el mal en su corazón. Se hablarán mentira en una misma mesa, pero no prosperarán, porque el fin es aún para un tiempo determinado.
28 And he turns back [to] his land with great substance, and his heart [is] against the holy covenant, and he has worked, and turned back to his land.
Volverá a su tierra con gran riqueza, y su corazón estará contra el Pacto santo. Hará lo que quiera y volverá a su tierra.
29 At the appointed time he turns back, and has come against the south, and it is not as the former, and as the latter.
En el tiempo señalado volverá hacia el sur, pero la última llegada no será como la primera.
30 And ships of Chittim have come in against him, and he has been pained, and has turned back, and has been insolent toward the holy covenant, and has worked, and turned back, and he understands concerning those forsaking the holy covenant.
Porque las naves de Quitim vendrán contra él, y será intimidado. Volverá, se enfurecerá contra el Pacto santo, actuará, volverá y se entenderá con los que abandonan el Pacto santo.
31 And strong ones stand up out of him, and have defiled the sanctuary, the stronghold, and have turned aside the continual [sacrifice], and appointed the desolating abomination.
Su tropas se levantarán y profanarán el Santuario y la fortaleza. Quitarán el continuo sacrificio y pondrán allí la repugnancia desoladora.
32 And those acting wickedly [against] the covenant, he defiles by flatteries; and the people knowing their God are strong, and have worked.
Seducirá a los violadores del Pacto con lisonjas, pero el pueblo que conoce a su ʼElohim se esforzará y actuará.
33 And the teachers of the people give understanding to many; and they have stumbled by sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil—days.
Los sabios del pueblo harán que muchos comprendan, aunque por algunos días caerán a espada y fuego, en cautividad y despojo.
34 And in their stumbling, they are helped—a little help, and joined to them have been many with flatteries.
En su caída serán ayudados con un socorro pequeño, y muchos se unirán a ellos con lisonjas.
35 And some of the teachers stumble for refining by them, and for purifying, and for making white—until the end of the time, for [it is] yet for a time appointed.
También algunos de los que tengan entendimiento caerán, para que sean refinados, purificados y emblanquecidos hasta el tiempo del fin, porque aún no llega el tiempo determinado.
36 And the king has done according to his will, and exalts himself, and magnifies himself against every god, and he speaks wonderful things against the God of gods, and has prospered until the indignation has been completed, for that which is determined has been done.
Aquel rey hará lo que quiera, se ensoberbecerá y se engrandecerá sobre todo dios. Contra el ʼEl de los ʼelohim hablará cosas espantosas. Prosperará, hasta que sea consumada la ira, porque lo decretado se cumplirá.
37 And to the God of his fathers he does not attend, nor to the desire of women, indeed, he does not attend to any god, for he magnifies himself against all.
No prestará atención a los ʼelohim de sus antepasados, ni atenderá el deseo de las mujeres, ni respetará a algún ʼelohim, porque se exaltará por encima de todo.
38 And to the god of strongholds, on his station, he gives honor; indeed, to a god whom his fathers did not know he gives honor, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stone, and with desirable things.
Pero en su lugar honra al ʼeloha de las fortalezas, a quien sus antepasados no conocieron. Lo honrará con oro, plata, piedras costosas y cosas agradables.
39 And he has dealt in the fortresses of the strongholds with a strange god whom he has acknowledged; he multiplies honor, and has caused them to rule over many, and the ground he apportions at a price.
Actuará contra las fortalezas inexpugnables con la unión a un ʼeloha extraño, y llenará de honores a los que lo reconozcan. Les dará dominio sobre muchos y repartirá la tierra por precio.
40 And at the time of the end, a king of the south pushes himself forward with him, and a king of the north storms against him, with chariot, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he has come into the lands, and has overflowed, and passed over,
Pero después de un tiempo, el rey del sur arremeterá contra él. Como una tempestad el rey del norte se levantará contra él con carruajes, gente a caballo y con muchos barcos. Entrará en los países y pasará sobre ellos.
41 and has come into the desirable land, and many stumble, and these escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.
Entrará en la tierra gloriosa, y muchas provincias caerán. Pero Edom, Moab y la mayoría de los hijos de Amón escaparán de su mano.
42 And he sends forth his hand on the lands, and the land of Egypt is not for an escape;
Extenderá también su mano contra otras tierras, y la tierra de Egipto no escapará.
43 and he has ruled over treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt, and Lubim and Cushim [are] at his steps.
Se apoderará de los tesoros de oro, plata y todas las cosas preciosas de Egipto. Los libios y etíopes seguirán sus huellas.
44 And reports trouble him out of the east and out of the north, and he has gone forth in great fury to destroy, and to devote many to destruction;
Pero noticias del oriente y del norte lo turbarán. Saldrá con gran furia para destruir y matar a muchos.
45 and he plants the tents of his palace between the seas and the holy desirable mountain, and has come to his end, and there is no helper to him.”
Plantará las tiendas de su palacio entre los mares y la Montaña gloriosa y santa. Pero le vendrá su fin, y no tendrá quien lo ayude.
