Daniel 11
1 In the first year of Darius the Mede, I myself came to support and protect Michael.
又說：「當米底亞王大流士元年，我曾起來扶助米迦勒，使他堅強。」
2 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.
現在我將真事指示你： 「波斯還有三王興起，第四王必富足遠勝諸王。他因富足成為強盛，就必激動大眾攻擊希臘國。
3 A mighty king will rise up who will rule a very great kingdom, and he will act according to his desires.
必有一個勇敢的王興起，執掌大權，隨意而行。
4 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.
他興起的時候，他的國必破裂，向天的四方分開，卻不歸他的後裔，治國的權勢也都不及他；因為他的國必被拔出，歸與他後裔之外的人。
5 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.
「南方的王必強盛，他將帥中必有一個比他更強盛，執掌權柄，他的權柄甚大。
6 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.
過些年後，他們必互相連合，南方王的女兒必就了北方王來立約；但這女子幫助之力存立不住，王和他所倚靠之力也不能存立。這女子和引導她來的，並生她的，以及當時扶助她的，都必交與死地。
7 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.
但這女子的本家必另生一子繼續王位，他必率領軍隊進入北方王的保障，攻擊他們，而且得勝；
8 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.
並將他們的神像和鑄成的偶像，與金銀的寶器掠到埃及去。數年之內，他不去攻擊北方的王。
9 Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South, but he will withdraw to his own land.
北方的王必入南方王的國，卻要仍回本地。
10 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.
「北方王的二子必動干戈，招聚許多軍兵。這軍兵前去，如洪水氾濫，又必再去爭戰，直到南方王的保障。
11 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.
南方王必發烈怒，出來與北方王爭戰，擺列大軍；北方王的軍兵必交付他手。
12 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.
他的眾軍高傲，他的心也必自高；他雖使數萬人仆倒，卻不得常勝。
13 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.
「北方王必回來擺列大軍，比先前的更多。滿了所定的年數，他必率領大軍，帶極多的軍裝來。
14 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.
那時，必有許多人起來攻擊南方王，並且你本國的強暴人必興起，要應驗那異象，他們卻要敗亡。
15 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.
北方王必來築壘攻取堅固城；南方的軍兵必站立不住，就是選擇的精兵也無力站住。
16 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.
來攻擊他的，必任意而行，無人在北方王面前站立得住。他必站在那榮美之地，用手施行毀滅。
17 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.
「他必定意用全國之力而來，立公正的約，照約而行，將自己的女兒給南方王為妻，想要敗壞他，這計卻不得成就，與自己毫無益處。
18 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.
其後他必轉回奪取了許多海島。但有一大帥，除掉他令人受的羞辱，並且使這羞辱歸他本身。
19 Then he will pay attention to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall; he will not be found.
他就必轉向本地的保障，卻要絆跌仆倒，歸於無有。
20 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.
「那時，必有一人興起接續他為王，使橫征暴斂的人通行國中的榮美地。這王不多日就必滅亡，卻不因忿怒，也不因爭戰。」
21 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.
「必有一個卑鄙的人興起接續為王，人未曾將國的尊榮給他，他卻趁人坦然無備的時候，用諂媚的話得國。
22 An army will be swept away like a flood from before him. Both that army and the leader of the covenant will be destroyed.
必有無數的軍兵勢如洪水，在他面前沖沒敗壞；同盟的君也必如此。
23 From the time an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully; with only a small number of people he will become strong.
與那君結盟之後，他必行詭詐，因為他必上來以微小的軍成為強盛。
24 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.
趁人坦然無備的時候，他必來到國中極肥美之地，行他列祖和他列祖之祖所未曾行的，將擄物、掠物，和財寶散給眾人，又要設計攻打保障，然而這都是暫時的。
25 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.
「他必奮勇向前，率領大軍攻擊南方王；南方王也必以極大極強的軍兵與他爭戰，卻站立不住，因為有人設計謀害南方王。
26 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.
吃王膳的，必敗壞他；他的軍隊必被沖沒，而且被殺的甚多。
27 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.
至於這二王，他們心懷惡計，同席說謊，計謀卻不成就；因為到了定期，事就了結。
28 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.
北方王必帶許多財寶回往本國，他的心反對聖約，任意而行，回到本地。
29 At the appointed time he will return and come against the South again. But this time it will not be as before.
「到了定期，他必返回，來到南方。後一次卻不如前一次，
30 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.
因為基提戰船必來攻擊他，他就喪膽而回，又要惱恨聖約，任意而行；他必回來聯絡背棄聖約的人。
31 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.
他必興兵，這兵必褻瀆聖地，就是保障，除掉常獻的燔祭，設立那行毀壞可憎的。
32 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.
作惡違背聖約的人，他必用巧言勾引；惟獨認識上帝的子民必剛強行事。
33 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.
民間的智慧人必訓誨多人；然而他們多日必倒在刀下，或被火燒，或被擄掠搶奪。
34 In their stumbling, they will be helped with a little help. In hypocrisy many will join themselves with them.
他們仆倒的時候，稍得扶助，卻有許多人用諂媚的話親近他們。
35 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.
智慧人中有些仆倒的，為要熬煉其餘的人，使他們清淨潔白，直到末了；因為到了定期，事就了結。
36 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.
「王必任意而行，自高自大，超過所有的神，又用奇異的話攻擊萬神之神。他必行事亨通，直到主的忿怒完畢，因為所定的事必然成就。
37 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.
他必不顧他列祖的神，也不顧婦女所羨慕的神，無論何神他都不顧；因為他必自大，高過一切。
38 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.
他倒要敬拜保障的神，用金、銀、寶石和可愛之物敬奉他列祖所不認識的神。
39 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.
他必靠外邦神的幫助，攻破最堅固的保障。凡承認他的，他必將榮耀加給他們，使他們管轄許多人，又為賄賂分地與他們。
40 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.
「到末了，南方王要與他交戰。北方王必用戰車、馬兵，和許多戰船，勢如暴風來攻擊他，也必進入列國，如洪水氾濫。
41 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.
又必進入那榮美之地，有許多國就被傾覆，但以東人、摩押人，和一大半亞捫人必脫離他的手。
42 He will extend his hand into lands; the land of Egypt will not be rescued.
他必伸手攻擊列國；埃及地也不得脫離。
43 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.
他必把持埃及的金銀財寶和各樣的寶物。利比亞人和古實人都必跟從他。
44 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.
但從東方和北方必有消息擾亂他，他就大發烈怒出去，要將多人殺滅淨盡。
45 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.
他必在海和榮美的聖山中間設立他如宮殿的帳幕；然而到了他的結局，必無人能幫助他。」
