Daniel 11
1 “As for me, during the first year that Darius was king, I helped and encouraged Michael.”
El primer año de Darío el medo, me levanté para ser un estímulo y protección para él.
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.
Y ahora te anunciaré la verdad: Mira, se levantarán aún tres reyes en Persia, y el cuarto conseguirá grandes riquezas, más que todos ellos. Cuando se fortalezca por medio de sus riquezas, agitará a todos contra el reino de Grecia.
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.
Se levantará luego un rey poderoso que gobernará con gran dominio y hará lo que quiera.
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.
Pero tan pronto como se levante, su reino será quebrantado y repartido a los cuatro puntos cardinales del cielo, pero no a sus descendientes, ni con el poder con el cual él dominó. Porque su reino será arrancado y pasará a otros fuera de aquéllos.
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.
El rey del sur será fuerte, pero uno de sus príncipes será más fuerte que él y ejercerá un dominio mayor que él.
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.
Después de algunos años harán una alianza, y la hija del rey del sur irá al rey del norte para hacer la paz. Pero ella no retendrá su posición de poder, ni él permanecerá con su poder. Ella será entregada junto con los que la llevaron, con el que la engendró y con el que la fortaleció en su tiempo.
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.
Pero un renuevo de sus raíces se levantará sobre su trono, quien vendrá con ejército contra el rey del norte. Entrará en la fortaleza del rey del norte, luchará contra ellos y 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.
También se llevará a Egipto a los ʼelohim de ellos, sus imágenes fundidas y sus objetos preciosos de plata y oro. Por [algunos] años él se mantendrá [contra] el rey del norte.
9 Then the army of the King of Syria will invade Egypt, but they will soon return to Syria.
Y [éste] entrará en el reino del sur y volverá a su tierra.
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].
Pero sus hijos se movilizarán, reunirán una multitud de grandes fuerzas que llegarán, inundarán, pasarán y volverán a hacer guerra, aun contra la 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.
Por lo cual el rey del sur se enfurecerá. Saldrá, peleará contra el rey del norte y pondrá una gran multitud en campaña. Toda aquella multitud será entregada en su mano.
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.
Cuando se lleve la multitud, su corazón se enaltecerá. Derribará a muchos millares, pero no 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].
El rey del norte volverá a alistar una multitud mayor que la primera. Al final de algunos años presionará con un gran ejército y mucho equipo.
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.
En aquellos tiempos se levantarán muchos contra el rey del sur. Hombres violentos de tu pueblo se levantarán para cumplir la visión, pero fracasarán.
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.
Vendrá el rey del norte, levantará baluartes y tomará la ciudad fortificada. Las fuerzas del sur no podrán sostenerse, ni sus tropas escogidas, porque no [tendrá] fuerzas para resistir.
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.
El que vendrá contra él hará lo que quiera, y no habrá quien se le [pueda] enfrentar. Permanecerá en la tierra gloriosa, la cual será destruida bajo su poder.
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.
Luego [el rey del norte] dirigirá su mirada para conquistar todo el reino [del sur]. Hará convenios con él y le dará a su hija como esposa para destruirlo, pero no permanecerá ni tendrá éxito.
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.
Entonces volverá su rostro a las costas, y tomará muchas [de ellas]. Pero un príncipe hará cesar su afrenta, y aun hará volver su oprobio sobre él.
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.
Luego volverá su mirada hacia las fortalezas de su tierra, pero tropezará y caerá. No se volverá a hallar.
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.
Se levantará otro en su lugar que enviará un cobrador de tributos por todo el esplendor del reino. Pero a los pocos días será quebrantado, aunque no con furia, ni en batalla.
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.
Un hombre despreciable le sucederá, a quien no se otorgará la majestad del reino. Pero vendrá con tranquilidad y tomará el reino por medio de intrigas.
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.
Las fuerzas enemigas serán arrasadas como inundación de aguas delante de él. Serán completamente destruidas, junto con el príncipe del 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.
Porque después de hacer pacto con él, engañará, subirá y saldrá vencedor con poca 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.
Cuando la provincia esté en paz y abundancia, entrará y hará lo que sus padres y abuelos no hicieron: repartirá botín, despojos y riquezas a sus guerreros. Tramará sus designios contra las fortalezas, pero por un tiempo.
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.
Con un gran ejército moverá su poderío y su ardor contra el rey del sur. También el rey del sur se empeñará en la guerra con un ejército grande y poderoso. Pero no prevalecerá, porque habrá designios contra él.
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.
Aun lo quebrantarán los que coman de sus manjares. Su ejército será destruido y muchos caerán muertos.
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].
Estos dos reyes maquinarán el mal en su corazón. Se hablarán mentira en una misma mesa, pero no prosperarán, porque el fin es aún para un tiempo 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.
Volverá a su tierra con gran riqueza, y su corazón estará contra el Pacto santo. Hará lo que quiera y volverá a su tierra.
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.
En el tiempo señalado volverá hacia el sur, pero la última llegada no será como la primera.
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 las naves de Quitim vendrán contra él, y será intimidado. Volverá, se enfurecerá contra el Pacto santo, actuará, volverá y se entenderá con los que abandonan el Pacto santo.
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.
Su tropas se levantarán y profanarán el Santuario y la fortaleza. Quitarán el continuo sacrificio y pondrán allí la repugnancia desoladora.
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.
Seducirá a los violadores del Pacto con lisonjas, pero el pueblo que conoce a su ʼElohim se esforzará y actuará.
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.
Los sabios del pueblo harán que muchos comprendan, aunque por algunos días caerán a espada y fuego, en cautividad y despojo.
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.
En su caída serán ayudados con un socorro pequeño, y muchos se unirán a ellos con 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.
También algunos de los que tengan entendimiento caerán, para que sean refinados, purificados y emblanquecidos hasta el tiempo del fin, porque aún no llega el tiempo 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.
Aquel rey hará lo que quiera, se ensoberbecerá y se engrandecerá sobre todo dios. Contra el ʼEl de los ʼelohim hablará cosas espantosas. Prosperará, hasta que sea consumada la ira, porque lo decretado se cumplirá.
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.
No prestará atención a los ʼelohim de sus antepasados, ni atenderá el deseo de las mujeres, ni respetará a algún ʼelohim, porque se exaltará por encima de todo.
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.
Pero en su lugar honra al ʼeloha de las fortalezas, a quien sus antepasados no conocieron. Lo honrará con oro, plata, piedras costosas y cosas agradables.
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.
Actuará contra las fortalezas inexpugnables con la unión a un ʼeloha extraño, y llenará de honores a los que lo reconozcan. Les dará dominio sobre muchos y repartirá la tierra por precio.
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].
Pero después de un tiempo, el rey del sur arremeterá contra él. Como una tempestad el rey del norte se levantará contra él con carruajes, gente a caballo y con muchos barcos. Entrará en los países y pasará sobre ellos.
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.
Entrará en la tierra gloriosa, y muchas provincias caerán. Pero Edom, Moab y la mayoría de los hijos de Amón escaparán de su mano.
42 When the army of Syria invades other countries, even the people of Egypt will be defeated.
Extenderá también su mano contra otras tierras, y la tierra de Egipto no 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.
Se apoderará de los tesoros de oro, plata y todas las cosas preciosas de Egipto. Los libios y etíopes seguirán sus huellas.
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].
Pero noticias del oriente y del norte lo turbarán. Saldrá con gran furia para destruir y matar a muchos.
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.”
Plantará las tiendas de su palacio entre los mares y la Montaña gloriosa y santa. Pero le vendrá su fin, y no tendrá quien lo ayude.
