Daniel 11

1 “As for me, during the first year that Darius was king, I helped and encouraged Michael.”

Eu, pois, no primeiro ano de Dario, medo, estive para o esforçar e fortalecer.

2 [The angel also said], “And what I am going to reveal to you now will truly [happen]. There will be three more kings to rule Persia, [one after the other]. Then there will be a fourth king, who will be much richer than the others. As a result of [his giving] a lot of money [to people, they will enable him to] become very powerful. Then he will incite/persuade many nations [HYP] [to fight] against the kingdom of Greece.

E agora te declararei a verdade: Eis que ainda três reis estarão na Pérsia, e o quarto será enriquecido de grandes riquezas mais do que todos; e, esforçando-se com as suas riquezas, suscitará a todos contra o reino da Grécia.

3 Then a very powerful king will appear [in Greece]. He will rule over a very large empire, and he will do whatever he wants to do.

Depois se levantará um rei valente, que reinará com grande domínio, e fará o que lhe aprouver.

4 But when he has become very powerful, [he will die]. Then his kingdom will be divided into four parts. Kings who are not his descendants will rule, but they will not be as powerful as he was.

Mas, estando ele em pé, o seu reino será quebrado, e será repartido para os quatro ventos do céu, porém não para a sua posteridade, nem tão pouco segundo o seu domínio com que reinou, porque o seu reino será arrancado, e será para outros fora destes.

5 Then the King of Egypt [MTY] will become very powerful. But one of his army generals will become more powerful than he is, and he will rule a bigger area.

E se esforçará o rei do sul, um dentre os seus príncipes; mas outro se esforçará, mais do que ele, e reinará, e domínio grande será o seu domínio,

6 Several years later, the King of Egypt and the King of Syria will make an (alliance/agreement to help each other) [MTY]. The King of Syria will give his daughter to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But she will not be able to influence him [MTY] very long, and that woman, her husband, her child, and her servants will all be killed/assassinated.

Mas, ao cabo de alguns anos, um com outro fará concerto; e a filha do rei do sul virá ao rei do norte para fazer um tratado, mas ela não terá força de braço; nem ele persistirá, nem o seu braço, porque ela será entregue, e os que a tiverem trazido, e seu pai, e o que a esforçava naqueles tempos!

7 Soon after that, one of her relatives [MET] will become King [of Egypt]. His army will attack the army of Syria. They will enter the fortress of the soldiers of Syria and defeat them.

Mas do renovo das suas raízes um se levantará em seu lugar, e virá com o exército, e entrará nas fortalezas do rei do norte, e obrará contra eles, e prevalecerá.

8 They will return to Egypt, taking the statues of the gods [of the people of Syria] and many items made of silver and gold that had been dedicated to those gods. Then for several years his army will not attack [the army of] the King of Syria.

E também os seus deuses com os seus príncipes, com os seus vasos preciosos de prata e ouro, levará cativos para o Egito; e por alguns anos ele persistirá contra o rei do norte.

9 Then the army of the King of Syria will invade Egypt, but they will soon return to Syria.

Assim entrará o rei do sul no reino, e tornará para a sua terra.

10 However, the sons of the King of Syria will prepare to start a war, and they will gather a large army. That army will march [south] and spread all over [Israel] like a huge flood. They will attack a strong fortress [in the south of Israel].

Porém seus filhos se entremeterão em guerra, e ajuntarão grande número de exércitos, e um deles virá à pressa, e inundará, e passará, e tornará a entremeter-se em guerra, até chegar à sua fortaleza

11 Then the King of Egypt, having become very angry, will march [with his army north] from Egypt and fight against the army of Syria. The King [of Syria] will gather together a very large army, but [the army of the King of Egypt] will defeat them.

Então o rei do sul se exasperará, e sairá, e pelejará contra ele, a saber, contra o rei do norte, que porá em campo grande multidão, mas aquela multidão será entregue na sua mão

12 The King of Egypt will become very proud because of [his army] having killed a very large number of soldiers [from Syria], but his army will not continue to win battles.

Quando for tirada aquela multidão, o seu coração se elevará: ainda que derribará muitos milhares, contudo não prevalecerá.

13 The King of Syria will again gather together an army that will be bigger than the one that he had before. After a few years, he will again march [south on their way to Egypt] with a large army and a lot of equipment [for fighting battles].

Porque o rei do norte tornará, e porá em campo uma multidão maior do que a primeira, e ao cabo dos tempos, isto é, anos, virá à pressa com grande exército e com muita fazenda.

14 At that time, many people in Egypt will rebel against their king. In order to fulfill a vision that [one of their leaders had seen], some violent/lawless people from your country [of Israel] will also rebel [in order to not be controlled by Egypt any more], but they will be defeated.

E, naqueles tempos, muitos se levantarão contra o rei do sul; e os filhos dos prevaricadores do teu povo se levantarão para confirmar a visão, e cairão.

15 Then the King of Syria will come [south with his army] and pile up dirt against the walls of a city that is well protected, and they will [break through those walls and] they will capture the city. The soldiers from Egypt [who have come to defend that city], even the best troops, will not be strong enough to continue to fight.

E o rei do norte virá, e levantará baluartes, e tomará a cidade forte; e os braços do sul não poderão subsistir, nem o seu povo escolhido, pois não haverá força para subsistir.

16 So the King of Syria will do whatever he wants to, and no one will be able to oppose him. [His army] will occupy the glorious land [of Israel] and completely control/subdue it.

O que pois há de vir contra ele fará segundo a sua vontade, e não haverá quem possa subsistir diante dele: e estará na terra gloriosa, e haverá consumição na sua mão.

17 Then he will decide to march [south] with all the soldiers from his kingdom. He will make an alliance with the King [of Egypt] and in order that his own daughter will [help him to] destroy the kingdom of Egypt, he will give her to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But that plan will fail.

E porá o seu rosto, para vir com a potência de todo o seu reino, e com ele os retos, e o fará: e lhe dará uma filha das mulheres, para a destruir a ela, mas ela não subsistirá, nem será por ele.

18 After that, the [army of] the King of Syria will attack the regions that are close to the [Mediterranean] Sea, and his [army] will conquer many of them. But [the army of] a leader from another country will defeat the army of Syria and will stop their king from continuing to be proud. He will do to the King of Syria what he deserved for being very insolent.

Depois virará o seu rosto para as ilhas, e tomará muitas; e um príncipe fará cessar o seu opróbrio contra ele, e ainda fará tornar sobre ele o seu opróbrio.

19 Then the King of Syria will return to the fortresses in his own land. But he will be defeated, and he will (die/be assassinated) [EUP] there.

Virará pois o seu rosto para as fortalezas da sua terra, mas tropeçará, e cairá, e não será achado.

20 Then another man will (succeed him/become king). That king will send one of his officers to oppress the people [in Jerusalem] by forcing them to pay big taxes, in order to get more money for his kingdom. But after a few years [HYP] that king will die, but he will not die as a result of people being angry with him or in a battle.

E em seu lugar se levantará quem fará passar o arrecadador em glória real; mas em poucos dias será quebrantado, e isto não em ira nem em batalha.

21 The next King of Syria will be an evil man who, [because he will not be the son of the previous king, ] will not have the right to become king. But he will come when people do not expect it, and he will become king by tricking the people.

Depois se levantará em seu lugar um homem vil, ao qual não darão a dignidade real; mas virá caladamente, e tomará o reino com engano.

22 When his army advances, they will attack any armies that oppose him and destroy those armies. They will also kill God’s Supreme Priest.

E os braços da inundação serão inundados de diante dele; e serão quebrantados, como também o príncipe do concerto.

23 By making treaties/alliances with [the rulers of] other nations, he will deceive them, and he will become very powerful, even though he rules a nation that does not have a lot of people.

E, depois dos concertos com ele, usará de engano; e subirá, e será esforçado com pouca gente.

24 Suddenly his [army] will invade a province that is very wealthy, and they will do things that none of his ancestors did: they will capture in battles all kinds of possessions from the people whom they defeat. Then the king will divide those possessions among his friends. He will also plan [for his army] to attack fortresses [in Egypt], but only for a short time.

Virá também caladamente aos lugares gordos da província, e fará o que nunca fizeram seus pais, nem os pais de seus pais; repartirá entre eles a preza e os despojos, e a riqueza, e formará os seus projetos contra as fortalezas, porém somente por certo tempo

25 He will courageously/boldly conscript/gather a large and powerful army to attack [the army of] the king of Egypt. But the King of Egypt will prepare to fight against them with a huge and powerful army. However, someone will deceive him, with the result that his plan will not be successful.

E suscitará a sua força e o seu coração contra o rei do sul com um grande exército; e o rei do sul se entremeterá na guerra com um grande e mui poderoso exército; mas não subsistirá, porque formarão projetos contra ele.

26 Even his most trusted advisors will plan to get rid of him. His army will be defeated and many of his soldiers will be killed.

E os que comerem os seus manjares o quebrantarão; e o exército dele inundará, e cairão muitos traspassados.

27 Then the two [kings who both want to rule that area] will sit down at the same table and eat together, but they will both lie to each other. Neither of them will get what he wants, because it will not be the time [that God] has determined/set [for them to rule Egypt].

Também estes dois reis terão o coração atento para fazerem o mal, e a uma mesma mesa falarão a mentira, mas não prosperará, porque o fim ainda terá lugar no tempo determinado.

28 [The army of] the King [of Syria] will return to Syria, taking with them all the valuable things [that they had captured]. The king will be determined to get rid of the Supreme Priest of the Jewish people. He will do what he wants to [in Israel], and then return to his own country.

E tornará para a sua terra com grande riqueza, e o seu coração será contra o santo concerto; e obrará, e tornará para a sua terra

29 When it is the time that God has decided, the King of Syria [and his army] will invade Egypt again. But this time he will not be successful like he was before.

Ao tempo determinado tornará a vir contra o sul; mas não será a última como a primeira vez.

30 The army of Rome will come in ships and oppose his army and cause him to be afraid. So he will be very angry, and [with his army] he will return [to Israel] and try to get rid of the Supreme Priest. The King of Syria will do what those who have abandoned the Jewish religion advise/want him to do for them.

Porque virão contra ele navios de Chittim, de que se entristecerá; e tornará, e se indignará contra o santo concerto, e obrará, porque tornará a atender aos que tiverem desamparado o santo concerto.

31 Some of his soldiers will do things to (defile the temple/cause the temple to become unholy for them). They will prevent the priests from offering sacrifices each day, and they will put [in the temple] something that is disgusting/abominable.

E sairão a ele uns braços, e profanarão o santuário e a fortaleza, e tirarão o contínuo sacrifício, e porão a abominação assoladora.

32 By deceiving those who have abandoned the Jewish religion, he will persuade them to (become his supporters/help him to do what he wants to do). But those who are devoted to their God will firmly oppose them.

E aos violadores do concerto com lisonjas fará usar de hipocrisia, mas o povo que conhece ao seu Deus se esforçará e fará proezas.

33 And wise [Israeli] leaders will teach others also. But for a while, some of those wise leaders will be killed in battles, and some will be burned to death, and some will be robbed, and some will be put in prison.

E os entendidos entre o povo ensinarão a muitos; e cairão pela espada, e pelo fogo, e pelo cativeiro, e pelo roubo, por muitos dias.

34 While God’s people are being persecuted, some people will help them a little bit, although some of those who help them will not do it sincerely.

E, caindo eles, serão ajudados com pequeno socorro; e muitos se ajuntarão com eles com lisonjas.

35 Some of those wise leaders will be killed [EUP], but as a result the others will be purified [DOU]. This suffering will continue until it is the time [that God] has appointed [for it to] end.

E alguns dos entendidos cairão, para os provar, e purgar, e embranquecer, até ao fim do tempo, porque será ainda até ao tempo determinado.

36 The King [of Syria] will do what he wants to. He will boast and say that he is greater than any god. He will even revile the Supreme God. He will be able to do what he wants until the time that [God] punishes [MTY] him. [God] will accomplish what he has planned.

E este rei fará conforme a sua vontade, e se levantará, e se engrandecerá sobre todo o deus; e contra o Deus dos deuses falará coisas maravilhosas, e será próspero, até que a ira seja acabada; porque aquilo que está determinado será feito.

37 The [King of Syria] will ignore the god that his ancestors worshiped and the god that many women love. He will ignore every god, because he will think that he is greater than all of them.

E não terá respeito algum ao Deus de seus pais, nem terá respeito ao amor das mulheres, nem a algum outro deus, porque sobre tudo se engrandecerá.

38 But he will honor the god who [people think] protects fortresses. That is a god whom his ancestors did not honor. And he will give gold, silver, (jewels/very valuable stones) and other expensive gifts to that god.

E ao deus das fortalezas honrará em seu lugar, a saber, ao deus a quem seus pais não conheceram honrará com ouro, e com prata, e com pedras preciosas, e com coisas desejadas.

39 He will ask that god (OR, people who worship a god) from another country to help him to defend his fortresses. He will greatly honor those who allow him [to be their ruler]. He will appoint [some of] them to important positions in the government; and to reward them, he will give them some land.

E fará os castelos fortes com o deus estranho; aos que reconhecer multiplicará a honra, e os fará reinar sobre muitos, e repartirá a terra por preço.

40 But when his time [to rule] is almost ended, [the army of] the King of Egypt will attack his [army]. The [army of the] King of Syria will fight against them furiously [SIM]. [His soldiers will be driving] chariots and [riding on] horses and [traveling in] many ships. His army will invade many countries and [spread all over those countries] like a flood [MET].

E, no fim do tempo, o rei do sul lhe dará marradas, e o rei do norte o acometerá com carros, e com cavaleiros, e com muitos navios; e entrará nas terras, e as inundará, e passará.

41 They will invade the glorious land [of Israel] and kill [EUP] tens of thousands of people. But the people of the Edom people-group and the people of the Moab people-group and the people of the Ammon people-group who are still alive will escape.

E entrará na terra gloriosa, e muitas terras serão derribadas, mas escaparão da sua mão estes: Edom e Moab, e as primícias dos filhos de Amon.

42 When the army of Syria invades other countries, even the people of Egypt will be defeated.

E estenderá a sua mão às terras, e a terra do Egito não escapará.

43 The army of Syria will take away from Egypt gold, silver, and other valuable items. The people of Libya and Ethiopia will allow [the King of Syria] to rule over them.

E apoderar-se-á dos tesouros de ouro e de prata, e de todas as coisas desejadas do Egito; e os lybios e os ethiopes o seguirão.

44 But he will become very frightened/alarmed when he hears reports about what is happening in the east and in the north. So he will become very angry, and send his army to fight furiously and kill many [of their enemies].

Mas os rumores do oriente e do norte o espantarão; e sairá com grande furor, para destruir e extirpar a muitos.

45 The [King of Syria] will set up his royal tents in the area between the [Mediterranean] Sea and the hill [in Jerusalem] on which the temple (exists/was built). But he will be killed there, because there will be no one to help him.”

E armará as tendas do seu palácio entre o mar grande, no monte santo e glorioso; mas virá ao seu fim, e não haverá quem o socorra.
