Daniel 11

1 And I in year one of Darius the Mede standing my [was] to a strengthener and to a protection for him.

In the first year of Darius the Mede, I myself came to support and protect Michael.

2 And now truth I will tell to you there! yet three kings [are] about to arise for Persia and the fourth [king] he will gain wealth wealth great more than everyone and according to strength his by wealth his he will stir up everyone [the] kingdom of Greece.

Now I will tell you the truth. Three kings will arise in Persia, and a fourth will be far richer than all the others. When he has gained power through his riches, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.

3 And he will arise a king mighty and he will have dominion dominion great and he will do according to pleasure his.

A mighty king will rise up who will rule a very great kingdom, and he will act according to his desires.

4 And just as arises he it will be broken up kingdom his and it will be divided to [the] four [the] winds of the heavens and not to posterity his and not like dominion his which he had dominion for it will be plucked up kingdom his and to others besides these.

When he has risen up, his kingdom will be broken and divided to the four winds of heaven, but not to his own descendants, and not with his power when he had been ruling. For his kingdom will be uprooted for others besides his descendants.

5 So he may become strong [the] king of the south and one of commanders his so he may become strong on him and he will exercise dominion [will be] a dominion great dominion his.

The king of the South will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he and will rule his kingdom with great power.

6 And to [the] end of years they will make an alliance and [the] daughter of [the] king of the south she will come to [the] king of the north to do uprightness and not she will retain [the] power of the arm and not he will stand arm his so she may be given up she and [those who] brought her and the [one who] fathered her and [the one who] strengthened her in the times.

After a few years, when the time is right, they will make an alliance. The daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to confirm the agreement. But she will not keep her arm's strength, nor will he stand, or his arm. She will be abandoned—she and those who brought her, and her father, and the one who supported her in those times.

7 And he will arise one of [the] shoot[s] of roots her place his so he may come against the army so he may go in [the] stronghold of [the] king of the north and he will do with them and he will prevail.

But a branch from her roots will rise up in her place. He will attack the army and enter the fortress of the king of the North. He will fight them, and he will conquer them.

8 And also gods their with molten images their with [the] vessels of desire their silver and gold in captivity he will take Egypt and he years he will stand away from [the] king of the north.

He will carry off to Egypt their gods along with their cast metal figures and their precious vessels of silver and of gold. For some years he will stay away from the king of the North.

9 And he will go in [the] kingdom of [the] king of the south and he will return to own land his.

Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South, but he will withdraw to his own land.

10 (And sons his *Q(K)*) they will wage war and they will gather a multitude of armies great and it will go certainly and it will overflow and it will pass over and it will return (so it may wage war *Q(K)*) to (stronghold his. *Q(K)*)

His sons will get ready and assemble a great army. It will keep coming and will flood everything; it will pass through all the way to his fortress.

11 So he may be enraged [the] king of the south and he will go out and he will engage in battle with him with [the] king of the north and he will raise up a multitude great and it will be given the multitude in hand his.

Then the king of the South will become very angry; he will go and fight against him, the king of the North. The king of the North will raise up a great army, but the army will be given into his hand.

12 And it will be carried off the multitude (and it will be lifted up *Q(K)*) heart his and he will make fall tens of thousands and not he will prevail.

The army will be carried off, and the heart of the king of the South will be lifted up, and he will make tens of thousands to fall, but he will not be victorious.

13 And he will return [the] king of the north and he will raise up a multitude great more than the first and to [the] end of the times years he will come certainly with an army large and with equipment much.

Then the king of the North will raise up another army, greater than the first. After some years, the king of the North will surely come with a great army supplied with much equipment.

14 And in the times those many [people] they will arise on [the] king of the south and [the] sons of - [the] violent ones of people your they will exalt themselves to fulfill [the] vision and they will stumble.

In those times many will rise against the king of the South. Sons of the violent among your people will set themselves in order to fulfill a vision, but they will stumble.

15 And he may come [the] king of the north so he may pour out a mound and he will capture a city of fortifications and [the] forces of the south not they will stand and [the] people of choicest ones his and there not [will be] strength to stand.

The king of the North will come, pour out earth for siege mounds, and capture a city with fortifications. The forces of the South will not be able to stand, not even their best soldiers. There will be no strength to stand.

16 And he will do the [one who] comes against him according to pleasure his and there not [will be one who] stands before him so he may stand in [the] land of beauty and complete destruction [will be] in hand his.

Instead, the one who comes will act according to his desires against him; no one will stand in his way. He will stand in the land of beauty, and destruction will be in his hand.

17 And he will set - face his to come with [the] power of all kingdom his and upright [things] with him and he will do and [the] daughter of the women he will give to him to destroy it and not it will stand and not to him it will happen.

The king of the North will set his face to come with the strength of his entire kingdom, and with him will be an agreement that he will make with the king of the South. He will give him a daughter of women in marriage to ruin the kingdom of the South. But the plan will not succeed or help him.

18 (And he will set *Q(K)*) face his to [the] coastlands and he will capture many [people] and he will put an end to a commander scorn his for him not scorn his he will turn back to him.

After this, the king of the North will pay attention to the coastlands and will capture many of them. But a commander will end his arrogance and will cause his arrogance to turn back upon him.

19 And he will turn face his to [the] strongholds of own land his and he will stumble and he will fall and not he will be found.

Then he will pay attention to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall; he will not be found.

20 And he will arise on place his [one who] will send through an oppressor [the] splendor of a kingdom and in days one he will be broken and not in anger and not in battle.

Then someone will rise up in his place who will make a tax collector pass through for the sake of the splendor of the kingdom. But in the next days he will be broken, but not in anger or in battle.

21 And he will arise on place his a despicable [person] and not people had given to him [the] honor of royalty and he will come in quietness and he will take hold of royalty by intrigues.

In his place will rise up a despised person to whom the people will not have given the honor of royal power; he will come unexpectedly and will take over the kingdom by trickery.

22 And [the] forces of the flood they will be swept away from to before him so they may be broken and also a prince of a covenant.

An army will be swept away like a flood from before him. Both that army and the leader of the covenant will be destroyed.

23 And from when made an alliance with him he will act deceit and he will rise and he will become mighty with fewness of a nation.

From the time an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully; with only a small number of people he will become strong.

24 In quietness and in [the] fertile places of [the] province he will come and he will do [that] which not they did ancestors his and [the] ancestors of ancestors his plunder and booty and property to them he will scatter and on strongholds he will plan plans his and until a time.

Without warning he will come into the richest part of the province, and he will do what neither his father nor his father's father did. He will spread among his followers the booty, the plunder, and the wealth. He will plan the overthrow of fortresses, but only for a time.

25 And he will stir up strength his and heart his on [the] king of the south with an army large and [the] king of the south he will get ready for the battle with an army large and mighty up to muchness and not he will stand for people will plan on him plans.

He will wake up his power and his heart against the king of the South with a great army. The king of the South will wage war with a large, very powerful army, but he will not stand because others will make plots against him.

26 And [those who] eat deli-cacies his they will break him and army his it will overflow and they will fall slain [ones] many.

Even those who eat his fine food will try to destroy him. His army will be swept away like a flood, and many of them will fall killed.

27 And [the] two of them the kings heart their [will be] to evil and at a table one falsehood they will speak and not it will succeed for yet [the] end [is] to the appointed time.

Both these kings, with their hearts set on evil against each other, will sit at the same table and lie to each other, but it will be of no use. For the end will come at the time that has been fixed.

28 And he will return own land his with property great and heart his [will be] on [the] covenant of holiness and he will act and he will return to own land his.

Then the king of the North will go back into his land with great riches, with his heart set against the holy covenant. He will act and then will return to his own land.

29 To the appointed time he will return and he will come in the south and not it will be as the former [time] and as the latter [time].

At the appointed time he will return and come against the South again. But this time it will not be as before.

30 And they will come on him ships of Kittim and he will be disheartened and he will turn back and he will direct indignation towards [the] covenant of holiness and he will act and he will turn back and he will pay attention on [those who] forsake [the] covenant of holiness.

For ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will become afraid and will turn back. He will be furious against the holy covenant, and he will show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.

31 And forces from him they will arise and they will profane the sanctuary the stronghold and they will abolish the perpetual [offering] and they will set up the abomination desolating.

His forces will rise up and profane the fortress sanctuary. They will take away the regular burnt offering, and they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.

32 And [those who] act wickedly of [the] covenant he will pollute with flattering [words] and a people [which] knows God its they will display strength and they will act.

As for those who acted wickedly against the covenant, he will deceive them and corrupt them. But the people who know their God will be strong and will take action.

33 And [those who] have insight of [the] people they will give understanding to the many [people] and they will stumble by sword and by flame by captivity and by plunder days.

The wise among the people will make many understand. But they will stumble by the sword and by flame; they will stumble into captivity and into being robbed for days.

34 And when stumble they they will be helped help a little and they will join themselves to them many [people] by intrigues.

In their stumbling, they will be helped with a little help. In hypocrisy many will join themselves with them.

35 And some of those [who] have insight they will stumble to refine them and to purge [them] and to purify [them] until [the] time of [the] end for [it is] still to the appointed time.

Some of the wise will stumble so that refining will happen to them, and cleansing, and purifying, until the time of the end. For the appointed time is still to come.

36 And he will do according to pleasure his the king so he may exalt himself and he may magnify himself above every god and on [the] God of gods he will speak extraordinary [things] and he will succeed until it has been completed indignation for [what has been] decreed it will be done.

The king will act according to his desires. He will lift himself up and make himself great above every god. Against the God of gods he will say astonishing things, for he will succeed until the wrath is completed. For what has been decreed will be done.

37 And on [the] gods of ancestors his not he will pay attention and on [the] desire of women and on any god not he will pay attention for above all he will magnify himself.

He will pay no attention to the gods of his ancestors or to the god desirable to women. Neither will he will pay attention to any other god. For all above every one he will make himself great.

38 And a god of strongholds on place its he will honor and a god which not they knew it ancestors his he will honor with gold and with silver and with stone costly and with precious things.

He will honor the god of fortresses instead of these. It is a god whom his fathers did not acknowledge that he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and valuable gifts.

39 And he will act to [the] fortresses of strongholds with a god of foreignness [one] who (he acknowledges *Q(K)*) he will increase honor and he will make rule them over the many [people] and land he will divide up for a price.

He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. To anyone who acknowledges him, he will give much honor. He will make them rulers over many people, and he will divide up the land as a reward.

40 And at [the] time of [the] end he will wage war with him [the] king of the south so he may storm on him [the] king of the north with chariotry and with horsemen and with ships many and he will go in lands and he will overflow and he will pass through.

At the time of the end the king of the South will attack. The king of the North will storm against him with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. He will go against lands, flood them, and pass through.

41 And he will come in [the] land of beauty and many [people] they will stumble and these they will escape from hand his Edom and Moab and [the] first of [the] people of Ammon.

He will go into the land of beauty, and tens of thousands of Israelites will fall. But these will escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the remainder of the people of Ammon.

42 So he may stretch out hand his on lands and [the] land of Egypt not it will become an escaped remnant.

He will extend his hand into lands; the land of Egypt will not be rescued.

43 And he will rule over [the] treasures of gold and silver and over all [the] precious things of Egypt and Libyans and Cushites [will be] in footsteps his.

He will have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; the Libyans and the Cushites will be in his footsteps.

44 And reports they will dismay him from [the] east and from [the] north and he will go out in rage great to destroy and to totally destroy many [people].

But news from the east and the north will frighten him, and he will go out with great rage to completely destroy and to set many apart for destruction.

45 So he may pitch [the] tents of palace his between [the] seas and [the] mountain of [the] beauty of holiness and he will come to end his and not a helper [will belong] to him.

He will set up the tent of his royal residence between the seas and the mountain of the beauty of holiness. He will come to his end, and there will be no helper for him.
