Daniel 11

1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

١ «وَأَنَا فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُولَى لِدَارِيُّوسَ ٱلْمَادِيِّ وَقَفْتُ لِأُشَدِّدَهُ وَأُقَوِّيَهُ.

2 And now will I shew 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.

٢ وَٱلْآنَ أُخْبِرُكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ. هُوَذَا ثَلَاثَةُ مُلُوكٍ أَيْضًا يَقُومُونَ فِي فَارِسَ، وَٱلرَّابِعُ يَسْتَغْنِي بِغِنًى أَوْفَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِهِمْ، وَحَسَبَ قُوَّتِهِ بِغِنَاهُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلْجَمِيعَ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةِ ٱلْيُونَانِ.

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

٣ وَيَقُومُ مَلِكٌ جَبَّارٌ وَيَتَسَلَّطُ تَسَلُّطًا عَظِيمًا وَيَفْعَلُ حَسَبَ إِرَادَتِهِ.

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 these.

٤ وَكَقِيَامِهِ تَنْكَسِرُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ وَتَنْقَسِمُ إِلَى رِيَاحِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِ، وَلَا لِعَقِبِهِ وَلَا حَسَبَ سُلْطَانِهِ ٱلَّذِي تَسَلَّطَ بِهِ، لِأَنَّ مَمْلَكَتَهُ تَنْقَرِضُ وَتَكُونُ لِآخَرِينَ غَيْرِ أُولَئِكَ.

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.

٥ وَيَتَقَوَّى مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. وَمِنْ رُؤَسَائِهِ مَنْ يَقْوَى عَلَيْهِ وَيَتَسَلَّطُ. تَسَلُّطٌ عَظِيمٌ تَسَلُّطُهُ.

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 begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times.

٦ وَبَعْدَ سِنِينَ يَتَعَاهَدَانِ، وَبِنْتُ مَلِكِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ تَأْتِي إِلَى مَلِكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ لِإِجْرَاءِ ٱلِٱتِّفَاقِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَضْبِطُ ٱلذِّرَاعُ قُوَّةً، وَلَا يَقُومُ هُوَ وَلَا ذِرَاعُهُ. وَتُسَلَّمُ هِيَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَتَوْا بِهَا وَٱلَّذِي وَلَدَهَا وَمَنْ قَوَّاهَا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَوْقَاتِ.

7 But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, which shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:

٧ وَيَقُومُ مِنْ فَرْعِ أُصُولِهَا قَائِمٌ مَكَانَهُ، وَيَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ وَيَدْخُلُ حِصْنَ مَلِكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهِمْ وَيَقْوَى.

8 And also their gods, with their molten images, [and] with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north.

٨ وَيَسْبِي إِلَى مِصْرَ آلِهَتَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَ مَسْبُوكَاتِهِمْ وَآنِيَتِهِمِ ٱلثَّمِينَةِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، وَيَقْتَصِرُ سِنِينَ عَنْ مَلِكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ.

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

٩ فَيَدْخُلُ مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ.

10 And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through: and they shall return and war, even to his fortress.

١٠ «وَبَنُوهُ يَتَهَيَّجُونَ فَيَجْمَعُونَ جُمْهُورَ جُيُوشٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، وَيَأْتِي آتٍ وَيَغْمُرُ وَيَطْمُو وَيَرْجِعُ وَيُحَارِبُ حَتَّى إِلَى حِصْنِهِ.

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, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.

١١ وَيَغْتَاظُ مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيُحَارِبُهُ أَيْ مَلِكَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَيُقِيمُ جُمْهُورًا عَظِيمًا فَيُسَلَّمُ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ فِي يَدِهِ.

12 And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted: and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.

١٢ فَإِذَا رُفِعَ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ يَرِتْفِعُ قَلْبُهُ وَيَطْرَحُ رَبَوَاتٍ وَلَا يَعْتَزُّ.

13 And the king of the north shall return, and shall 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.

١٣ فَيَرْجِعُ مَلِكُ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَيُقِيمُ جُمْهُورًا أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، وَيَأْتِي بَعْدَ حِينٍ، بَعْدَ سِنِينَ بِجَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ وَثَرْوَةٍ جَزِيلَةٍ.

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 fall.

١٤ وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَوْقَاتِ يَقُومُ كَثِيرُونَ عَلَى مَلِكِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَبَنُو ٱلْعُتَاةِ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ يَقُومُونَ لِإِثْبَاتِ ٱلرُّؤْيَا وَيَعْثُرُونَ.

15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take a well fenced city: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

١٥ فَيَأْتِي مَلِكُ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَيُقِيمُ مِتْرَسَةً وَيَأْخُذُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ ٱلْحَصِينَةَ، فَلَا تَقُومُ أَمَامَهُ ذِرَاعَا ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَلَا قَوْمُهُ ٱلْمُنْتَخَبُ، وَلَا تَكُونُ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ لِلْمُقَاوَمَةِ.

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 glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction.

١٦ وَٱلْآتِي عَلَيْهِ يَفْعَلُ كَإِرَادَتِهِ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقِفُ أَمَامَهُ، وَيَقُومُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْبَهِيَّةِ وَهِيَ بِٱلتَّمَامِ بِيَدِهِ.

17 And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he shall do [his pleasure]: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him.

١٧ وَيَجْعَلُ وَجْهَهُ لِيَدْخُلَ بِسُلْطَانِ كُلِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ، وَيَجْعَلُ مَعَهُ صُلْحًا، وَيُعْطِيهِ بِنْتَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ لِيُفْسِدَهَا، فَلَا تَثْبُتَ وَلَا تَكُونَ لَهُ.

18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him.

١٨ وَيُحَوِّلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى ٱلْجَزَائِرِ وَيَأْخُذُ كَثِيرًا مِنْهَا، وَيُزِيلُ رَئِيسٌ تَعْيِيرَهُ فَضْلًا عَنْ رَدِّ تَعْيِيرِهِ عَلَيْهِ.

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

١٩ وَيُحَوِّلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى حُصُونِ أَرْضِهِ وَيَعْثُرُ وَيَسْقُطُ وَلَا يُوجَدُ.

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.

٢٠ «فَيَقُومُ مَكَانَهُ مَنْ يُعَبِّرُ جَابِيَ ٱلْجِزْيَةِ فِي فَخْرِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ، وَفِي أَيَّامٍ قَلِيلَةٍ يَنْكَسِرُ لَا بِغَضَبٍ وَلَا بِحَرْبٍ.

21 And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

٢١ فَيَقُومُ مَكَانَهُ مُحْتَقَرٌ لَمْ يَجْعَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَخْرَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ، وَيَأْتِي بَغْتَةً وَيُمْسِكُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ بِٱلتَّمَلُّقَاتِ.

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

٢٢ وَأَذْرُعُ ٱلْجَارِفِ تُجْرَفُ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِ وَتَنْكَسِرُ، وَكَذَلِكَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْعَهْدِ.

23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.

٢٣ وَمِنَ ٱلْمُعَاهَدَةِ مَعَهُ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْمَكْرِ وَيَصْعَدُ وَيَعْظُمُ بِقَوْمٍ قَلِيلٍ.

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 the strong holds, even for a time.

٢٤ يَدْخُلُ بَغْتَةً عَلَى أَسْمَنِ ٱلْبِلَادِ وَيَفْعَلُ مَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ آبَاؤُهُ وَلَا آبَاءُ آبَائِهِ. يَبْذُرُ بَيْنَهُمْ نَهْبًا وَغَنِيمَةً وَغِنًى، وَيُفَكِّرُ أَفْكَارَهُ عَلَى ٱلْحُصُونِ، وَذَلِكَ إِلَى حِينٍ.

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 war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army: but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him.

٢٥ وَيُنْهِضُ قُوَّتَهُ وَقَلْبَهُ عَلَى مَلِكِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ بِجَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَمَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ يَتَهَيَّجُ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ بِجَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقَوِيٍّ جِدًّا، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَثْبُتُ لِأَنَّهُمْ يُدَبِّرُونَ عَلَيْهِ تَدَابِيرَ.

26 Yea, they that eat of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.

٢٦ وَٱلْآكِلُونَ أَطَايِبَهُ يَكْسِرُونَهُ، وَجَيْشُهُ يَطْمُو، وَيَسْقُطُ كَثِيرُونَ قَتْلَى.

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 yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

٢٧ وَهَذَانِ ٱلْمَلِكَانِ قَلْبُهُمَا لِفِعْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَيَتَكَلَّمَانِ بِٱلْكَذِبِ عَلَى مَائِدَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَلَا يَنْجَحُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلِٱنْتِهَاءَ بَعْدُ إِلَى مِيعَادٍ.

28 Then shall he return into his 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.

٢٨ فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ بِغِنًى جَزِيلٍ وَقَلْبُهُ عَلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ، فَيَعْمَلُ وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ.

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.

٢٩ «وَفِي ٱلْمِيعَادِ يَعُودُ وَيَدْخُلُ ٱلْجَنُوبَ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَكُونُ ٱلْآخِرُ كَٱلْأَوَّلِ.

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

٣٠ فَتَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ سُفُنٌ مِنْ كِتِّيمَ فَيَيْئَسُ وَيَرْجِعُ وَيَغْتَاظُ عَلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ، وَيَعْمَلُ وَيَرْجِعُ وَيَصْغَى إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكُوا ٱلْعَهْدَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَ.

31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual [burnt offering]; and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate.

٣١ وَتَقُومُ مِنْهُ أَذْرُعٌ وَتُنَجِّسُ ٱلْمَقْدِسَ ٱلْحَصِينَ، وَتَنْزِعُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةَ ٱلدَّائِمَةَ، وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلرِّجْسَ ٱلْمُخَرِّبَ.

32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries: but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].

٣٢ وَٱلْمُتَعَدُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ يُغْوِيهِمْ بِٱلتَّمَلُّقَاتِ. أَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ إِلَهَهُمْ فَيَقْوَوْنَ وَيَعْمَلُونَ.

33 And they that be wise among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, [many] days.

٣٣ وَٱلْفَاهِمُونَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ يُعَلِّمُونَ كَثِيرِينَ. وَيَعْثُرُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَبِاللَّهِيبِ وَبِالسَّبْيِ وَبِالنَّهْبِ أَيَّامًا.

34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall join themselves unto them with flatteries.

٣٤ فَإِذَا عَثَرُوا يُعَانُونَ عَوْنًا قَلِيلًا، وَيَتَّصِلُ بِهِمْ كَثِيرُونَ بِٱلتَّمَلُّقَاتِ.

35 And some of them that be wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for the time appointed.

٣٥ وَبَعْضُ ٱلْفَاهِمِينَ يَعْثُرُونَ ٱمْتِحَانًا لَهُمْ لِلتَّطْهِيرِ وَلِلتَّبْيِيضِ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. لِأَنَّهُ بَعْدُ إِلَى ٱلْمِيعَادِ.

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

٣٦ «وَيَفْعَلُ ٱلْمَلِكُ كَإِرَادَتِهِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ وَيَتَعَظَّمُ عَلَى كُلِّ إِلَهٍ، وَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِأُمُورٍ عَجِيبَةٍ عَلَى إِلَهِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ، وَيَنْجَحُ إِلَى إِتْمَامِ ٱلْغَضَبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَقْضِيَّ بِهِ يُجْرَى.

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

٣٧ وَلَا يُبَالِي بِآلِهَةِ آبَائِهِ وَلَا بِشَهْوَةِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ، وَبِكُلِّ إِلَهٍ لَا يُبَالِي لِأَنَّهُ يَتَعَظَّمُ عَلَى ٱلْكُلِّ.

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

٣٨ وَيُكْرِمُ إِلَهَ ٱلْحُصُونِ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَإِلَهًا لَمْ تَعْرِفْهُ آبَاؤُهُ، يُكْرِمُهُ بِٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَبِالْحِجَارَةِ ٱلْكَرِيمَةِ وَٱلنَّفَائِسِ.

39 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a strange god; whosoever acknowledgeth [him] he will increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.

٣٩ وَيَفْعَلُ فِي ٱلْحُصُونِ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ بِإِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ. مَنْ يَعْرِفُهُ يَزِيدُهُ مَجْدًا، وَيُسَلِّطُهُمْ عَلَى كَثِيرِينَ، وَيَقْسِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أُجْرَةً.

40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with 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 and pass through.

٤٠ «فَفِي وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ يُحَارِبُهُ مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، فَيَثُورُ عَلَيْهِ مَلِكُ ٱلشِّمَالِ بِمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَبِفُرْسَانٍ وَبِسُفُنٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَيَدْخُلُ ٱلْأَرَاضِيَ وَيَجْرُفُ وَيَطْمُو.

41 He shall enter also into the glorious 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.

٤١ وَيَدْخُلُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْبَهِيَّةِ فَيُعْثَرُ كَثِيرُونَ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ يُفْلِتُونَ مِنْ يَدِهِ: أَدُومُ وَمُوآبُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

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

٤٢ وَيَمُدُّ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَأَرْضُ مِصْرَ لَا تَنْجُو.

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

٤٣ وَيَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى كُنُوزِ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ نَفَائِسِ مِصْرَ. وَٱللُّوبِيُّونَ وَٱلْكُوشِيُّونَ عِنْدَ خُطُوَاتِهِ.

44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many.

٤٤ وَتُفْزِعُهُ أَخْبَارٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّرْقِ وَمِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، فَيَخْرُجُ بِغَضَبٍ عَظِيمٍ لِيُخْرِبَ وَلِيُحَرِّمَ كَثِيرِينَ.

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

٤٥ وَيَنْصُبُ فُسْطَاطَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْبُحُورِ وَجَبَلِ بَهَاءِ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَيَبْلُغُ نِهَايَتَهُ وَلَا مُعِينَ لَهُ.
