Daniel 11
1 "And as for me, in the first year of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.
Ego autem ab anno primo Darii Medi stabam ut confortaretur et roboraretur
2 And now what I show you is true. Look, there shall arise three more kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all the kingdom of Greece.
Et nunc veritatem annunciabo tibi Ecce adhuc tres reges stabunt in Perside et quartus ditabitur opibus nimiis super omnes et cum invaluerit divitiis suis concitabit omnes adversum regnum Graeciae
3 And a powerful king shall arise, who shall rule an extensive empire, and do as he pleases.
Surget vero rex fortis et dominabitur potestate multa et faciet quod placuerit ei
4 When he shall arise, his kingdom shall be broken up, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, and will go to others besides these.
Et cum steterit conteretur regnum eius et dividetur in quattuor ventos caeli sed non in posteros eius neque secundum potentiam illius qua dominatus est lacerabitur enim regnum eius etiam in externos exceptis his
5 The king of the south shall grow strong, and one of his officers shall grow more powerful, and shall have a greater kingdom than his.
Et confortabitur rex Austri et de principibus eius praevalebit super eum et dominabitur ditione multa enim dominatio eius
6 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 her power; neither shall his strength endure; but she shall be surrendered, and her attendants, and he who became the father of her, and he who supported her in those times.
Et post finem annorum foederabuntur filiaque regis Austri veniet ad regem Aquilonis facere amicitiam et non obtinebit fortitudinem brachii nec stabit semen eius et tradetur ipsa et qui adduxerunt eam adolescentes eius et qui confortabant eam in temporibus
7 But out of a shoot from her roots shall arise in his place, who shall come against the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
Et stabit de germine radicum eius plantatio et veniet cum exercitu et ingredietur provinciam regis Aquilonis et abutetur eis et obtinebit
8 Also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall withdraw for some years from the king of the north.
Insuper et deos eorum et sculptilia vasa quoque pretiosa argenti et auri captiva ducet in Aegyptum ipse praevalebit adversus regem Aquilonis
9 And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
Et intrabit in regnum rex Austri et revertetur ad terram suam
10 And his sons shall wage war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance and overflow and pass through, and they shall return and wage war, as far as his fortress.
Filii autem eius provocabuntur et congregabunt multitudinem exercituum plurimorum et veniet properans et inundans et revertetur et concitabitur et congredietur cum robere eius
11 The king of the south shall be moved with rage and shall come forth and fight against him, even with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
Et provocatus rex Austri egredietur et pugnabit adversus regem Aquilonis et praeparabit multitudinem nimiam et dabitur multitudo in manu eius
12 The multitude shall be taken away, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
Et capiet multitudinem et exaltabitur cor eius et deiiciet multa millia sed non praevalebit
13 The king of the north shall return, and shall raise a multitude greater than the former; and he shall advance after some years with a great army and with abundant supplies.
Convertetur enim rex Aquilonis et praeparabit multitudinem multo maiorem quam prius et in fine temporum annorumque veniet properans cum exercitu magno et opibus nimiis
14 And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south: also the violent ones among your people shall rise up in confirmation of the vision; but they shall fail.
Et in temporibus illis multi consurgent adversus regem Austri filii quoque praevaricatorum populi tui extollentur ut impleant visionem et corruent
15 So the king of the north shall come, and build up a siege mound and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not prevail, neither his best troops, neither shall there be any strength to resist.
Et venit rex Aquilonis et comportabit aggerem et capiet urbes munitissimas et brachia Austri non sustinebunt et consurgent electi eius ad resistendum et non erit fortitudo
16 But he who comes against him shall do as he pleases, and no one shall be able to withstand him. And he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction will be within his power.
Et faciet veniens super eum iuxta placitum suum et non erit qui stet contra faciem eius et stabit in terra inclyta et consumetur in manu eius
17 He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with him which he shall put into effect. And he shall give him a daughter of women to send destruction on him; but it will not last or be to his advantage.
Et ponet faciem suam ut veniat ad tenendum universum regnum eius et recta faciet cum eo et filiam feminarum dabit ei ut evertat illud et non stabit nec illius erit
18 After this shall he turn his face to the coastal regions, and shall capture many. But a commander shall bring his insolence to an end. In addition, he shall repay him for his insolence.
Et convertet faciem suam ad insulas et capiet multas et cessare faciet principem opprobrii sui et opprobrium eius convertetur in eum
19 Then he shall turn his attention toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found again.
Et convertet faciem suam ad imperium terrae suae et impinget et corruet et non invenietur
20 Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, though not in anger nor in battle.
Et stabit in loco eius vilissimus et indignus decore regio et in paucis diebus conteretur non in furore nec in praelio
21 In his place shall arise a despicable person, to whom the honor of kingship had not been given, but he shall come in a time of prosperity, and shall obtain the kingdom through deceit.
Et stabit in loco eius despectus et non tribuetur ei honor regius et veniet clam et obtinebit regnum in fraudulentia
22 And large armies shall be swept away and shattered before him, as well as the prince of the covenant.
Et brachia pugnantis expugnabuntur a facie eius et conterentur insuper et dux foederis
23 And after an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall become strong with a small force.
Et post amicitias cum eo faciet dolum et ascendet et superabit in modico populo
24 In a time of prosperity he shall come even on the richest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor their fathers; he shall distribute among them plunder, and spoil, and property. He shall devise plans against their strongholds, but only for a time.
Et abundantes et uberes urbes ingredietur et faciet quae non fecerunt patres eius et patres patrum eius rapinas et praedam et divinitas eorum dissipabit et contra firmissimas cogitationes inibit et hoc usque ad tempus
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 wage war in battle with an extremely large and powerful army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise plans against him.
Et concitabitur fortitudo eius et cor eius adversum regem Austri in exercitu magno et rex Austri provocabitur ad bellum multis auxiliis et fortibus nimis et non stabunt quia inibunt adversus eum consilia
26 Yes, those who eat of his royal food shall seek to destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall slain.
Et comedentes panem cum eo conterent illum exercitusque eius opprimetur et cadent interfecti plurimi
27 As for both these kings, their minds shall be fixed on evil, and they shall speak lies at the table; but it shall not succeed; for still the end shall be at the appointed time.
Duorum quoque regnum cor erit ut malefaciant et ad mensam unam mendacium loquentur et non proficient quia adhuc finis in aliud tempus
28 Then shall he return into his land with great property; and his mind shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall take action, and then return to his own land.
Et revertetur in terram suam cum opibus multis et cor eius adversum testamentum sanctum et faciet et revertetur in terram suam
29 At the appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before.
Statuto tempore revertetur et veniet ad Austrum et non erit priori simile novissimum
30 For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be intimidated, and shall turn back, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and shall take action. He shall turn back, and show regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
Et veniet super eum Trieres et Romani et percutietur et revertetur et indignabitur contra testamentum sanctuarii et faciet reverteturque et cogitabit adversum eos qui dereliquerunt testamentum sanctuarii
31 Forces shall come at his order, and they shall profane the sanctuary and the fortress, and shall take away the daily burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that causes desolation.
Et brachia ex eo stabunt et polluent sanctuarium fortitudinis et auferent iuge sacrificium et dabunt abominationem in desolationem
32 And those who act wickedly toward the covenant he shall corrupt by smooth words; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and take action.
Et impii in testamentum simulabunt fraudulenter populus autem sciens Deum suum obtinebit et faciet
33 And those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.
Et docti in populo docebunt plurimos et ruent in gladio et in flamma et in captivitate et in rapina dierum
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join with them insincerely.
Cumque corruerint sublevabuntur auxilio parvulo et applicabuntur eis plurimi fraudulenter
35 Some of those who are wise shall fall, to be refined, purified and cleansed until the time of the end; for the appointed time is still to come.
Et de eruditis ruent ut conflentur et eligantur et dealbentur usque ad tempus praefinitum quia adhuc aliud tempus erit
36 And the king shall do as he pleases. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak outrageous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is decreed shall be done.
Et faciet iuxta voluntatem suam rex et elevabitur et magnificabitur adversus omnem deum et adversus Deum deorum loquetur magnifica et dirigetur donec compleatur iracundia perpetrata quippe est definitio
37 Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the one desired by women, nor show regard to any other god, because he shall magnify himself above all.
Et Deum patrum suorum non reputabit et erit in concupiscentiis feminarum nec quemquam deorum curabit quia adversum universa consurget
38 But instead he shall honor the god of fortresses; a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold and silver, and with valuable stones, and costly gifts.
Deum autem Maozim in loco suo venerabitur et Deum quem ignoraverunt patres eius colet auro et argento et lapide pretioso rebusque pretiosis
39 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he shall grant considerable honor; and he shall make them rulers over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
Et faciet ut muniat Maozim cum Deo alieno quem cognovit et multiplicabit gloriam et dabit eis potestatem in multis et terram dividet gratuito
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south attack 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 invade countries, and pass through like a flood.
Et in tempore praefinito praeliabitur adversus eum rex Austri et quasi tempestas veniet contra illum rex Aquilonis in curribus et in equitibus et in classe magna et ingredietur terras et conteret et pertransiet
41 He shall enter also into the beautiful land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.
Et introibit in terram gloriosam et multae corruent hae autem solae salvabuntur de manu eius Edom et Moab et principium filiorum Ammon
42 He shall reach out his hand also on other countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Et mittet manum suam in terras et Terra Aegypti non effugiet
43 But he shall have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his feet.
Et dominabitur thesaurorum auri et argenti et in omnibus pretiosis Aegypti per Libyam quoque et Aethiopiam transibit
44 But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with tremendous rage to destroy and utterly sweep away many.
Et fama turbabit eum ab Oriente et ab Aquilone et veniet in multitudine magna ut conterat et interficiat plurimos
45 And he shall pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with no one to help him.
Et figet tabernaculum suum Apadno inter maria super montem inclytum et sanctum et veniet usque ad summitatem eius et nemo auxiliabitur ei
