Daniel 11

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

“Quanto a mim, no primeiro ano de Darius the Mede, levantei-me para confirmá-lo e fortalecê-lo.

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.

“Agora vou mostrar-lhes a verdade. Eis que mais três reis se levantarão na Pérsia. O quarto será muito mais rico do que todos eles. Quando ele se fortalecer através de suas riquezas, ele agitará 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.

Um rei poderoso se levantará, que reinará com grande domínio, e fará de acordo com sua vontade.

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.

Quando ele se levantar, seu reino será quebrado e será dividido para os quatro ventos do céu, mas não para sua posteridade, nem de acordo com seu domínio com o qual ele governou; pois seu reino será arrancado, mesmo para outros além 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.

“O rei do sul será forte. Um de seus príncipes se tornará mais forte que ele e terá domínio. Seu domínio será um grande 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.

No final dos anos eles se unirão; e a filha do rei do sul virá ao rei do norte para fazer um acordo, mas ela não reterá a força de seu braço. Ele também não ficará de pé, nem seu braço; mas ela será abandonada, com aqueles que a trouxeram, e aquele que se tornou o pai dela, e aquele que a fortaleceu 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 de um tiro de suas raízes um se levantará em seu lugar, que virá para o exército e entrará na fortaleza do rei do norte, e negociará 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.

Ele também levará seus deuses com suas imagens fundidas, e com seus bons vasos de prata e de ouro, cativos no Egito. Ele se absterá alguns anos do rei do norte.

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

Ele entrará no reino do rei do sul, mas voltará para sua própria 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].

Seus filhos farão a guerra e reunirão uma multidão de grandes forças que virão, transbordarão e passarão por ela. Eles voltarão e travarão a guerra, mesmo para 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.

“O rei do sul ficará comovido com raiva e sairá e lutará com ele, mesmo com o rei do norte. Ele enviará uma grande multidão, e a multidão será entregue em suas mãos”.

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.

A multidão será transportada, e seu coração será exaltado. Ele derrubará dezenas de milhares, mas 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].

O rei do norte voltará, e enviará uma multidão maior do que a primeira. Ele virá no final dos tempos, mesmo dos anos, com um grande exército e com abundantes provisões.

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.

“Naqueles tempos, muitos se levantarão contra o rei do sul. Também os filhos dos violentos entre seu povo se levantarão para estabelecer a visão, mas eles 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.

Assim, o rei do norte virá e levantará um monte, e tomará uma cidade bem fortificada. As forças do sul não ficarão de pé, nem suas seletas tropas, nem haverá forças para ficar de pé.

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.

Mas aquele que vier contra ele fará de acordo com sua própria vontade, e ninguém se levantará diante dele. Ele permanecerá na terra gloriosa, e a destruição estará em suas mãos.

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.

Ele colocará seu rosto para vir com a força de todo seu reino, e com ele condições eqüitativas. Ele as realizará. Ele lhe dará a filha das mulheres, para destruir o reino, mas ela não ficará de pé, e não será para 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.

After isto ele voltará seu rosto para as ilhas, e levará muitas, mas um príncipe fará cessar a reprovação oferecida por ele. Sim, além disso, ele fará com que sua reprovação se vire contra ele.

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.

então ele voltará seu rosto para as fortalezas de sua própria terra; mas ele tropeçará e cairá, e não será encontrado.

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.

“Então aquele que fizer passar um cobrador de impostos pelo reino para manter sua glória se levantará em seu lugar; mas dentro de poucos dias ele será destruído, não com raiva e não 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.

“Em seu lugar, uma pessoa desprezível se levantará, a quem não tinham dado a honra do reino; mas ele virá em tempo de segurança, e obterá o reino por lisonjas.

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.

As forças esmagadoras serão esmagadas de diante dele, e serão quebradas. Sim, também o príncipe do pacto.

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.

Após o tratado feito com ele, ele trabalhará de forma enganosa; pois ele subirá e se tornará forte com poucas pessoas.

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.

Em tempo de segurança, ele virá mesmo nos lugares mais gordos da província. Ele fará aquilo que seus pais não fizeram, nem os pais de seus pais. Ele espalhará entre eles a presa, o saque e a riqueza. Sim, ele planejará seus planos contra as fortalezas, mas apenas por um 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.

“Ele agitará seu poder e sua coragem contra o rei do sul com um grande exército; e o rei do sul travará guerra em batalha com um exército extremamente grande e poderoso, mas ele não vai ficar de pé; pois eles vão inventar planos 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.

Yes, aqueles que comerem de suas iguarias o destruirão, e seu exército será varrido. Muitos cairão mortos.

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].

Quanto a estes dois reis, seus corações farão o mal, e falarão mentiras em uma mesa; mas não prosperará, pois o fim ainda será no tempo designado.

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.

Então ele retornará à sua terra com grande riqueza. Seu coração será contra o santo pacto. Ele tomará medidas e retornará à sua própria 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.

“Ele voltará na hora marcada e virá para o sul; mas não será na última vez como foi na primeira.

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.

Para os navios do Kittim virá contra ele. Portanto, ele ficará de luto, e voltará, e terá indignação contra o santo pacto, e tomará medidas. Ele retornará até mesmo, e terá consideração por aqueles que abandonarem o santo pacto.

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.

“Forças dele profanarão o santuário, até mesmo a fortaleza, e tirarão a oferta queimada contínua. Em seguida, estabelecerão a abominação que torna desolador.

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.

Ele corromperá aqueles que fazem maldades contra o pacto por lisonjas; mas as pessoas que conhecem seu Deus serão fortes e tomarão medidas.

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.

“Aqueles que são sábios entre o povo instruirão muitos; no entanto, cairão pela espada e pela chama, pelo cativeiro e pela pilhagem, 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.

Agora, quando caírem, serão ajudados com uma pequena ajuda; mas muitos se unirão a 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.

Alguns dos sábios cairão - para refiná-los, purificá-los e torná-los brancos, mesmo até o fim, porque ainda é para o tempo designado.

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.

“O rei fará de acordo com sua vontade. Ele se exaltará e se engrandecerá acima de todo deus, e falará coisas maravilhosas contra o Deus dos deuses”. Ele prosperará até que a indignação seja consumada, pois o que for 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.

Ele não considerará os deuses de seus pais, nem o desejo das mulheres, nem considerará qualquer deus; pois ele se engrandecerá acima de tudo.

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.

Mas em seu lugar, ele honrará o deus das fortalezas. Ele honrará um deus que seus pais não conheciam com ouro, prata, e com pedras preciosas e coisas agradáveis.

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.

Ele lidará com as fortalezas mais fortes com a ajuda de um deus estrangeiro. Ele aumentará com glória quem quer que o reconheça. Ele fará com que eles governem sobre muitos, e dividirá a terra por um 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].

“No momento do fim o rei do sul lutará com ele; e o rei do norte virá contra ele como um redemoinho, com carros, com cavaleiros e com muitos navios. Ele entrará nos países, e transbordará e passará por eles.

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.

Ele entrará também na terra gloriosa, e muitos países serão derrubados; mas estes serão libertados de suas mãos: Edom, Moab, e o chefe dos filhos de Ammon.

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

Ele também estenderá sua mão sobre os países. 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.

Mas ele terá poder sobre os tesouros de ouro e de prata, e sobre todas as coisas preciosas do Egito. Os líbios e os etíopes seguirão seus passos.

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 notícias do leste e do norte o incomodarão; e ele sairá com grande fúria para destruir e varrer completamente 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.”

Ele plantará as tendas de seu palácio entre o mar e a gloriosa montanha sagrada; no entanto, ele chegará ao seu fim, e ninguém o ajudará.
