Danihelis Prophetæ 11
1 Ego autem ab anno primo Darii Medi stabam ut confortaretur et roboraretur
And I in the first year of Cyrus stood to strengthen and confirm [him].
2 Et nunc veritatem annunciabo tibi Ecce adhuc tres reges stabunt in Perside et quartus ditabitur opibus nimiis super omnes et cum invaluerit divitiis suis concitabit omnes adversum regnum Graeciae
And now I will tell thee the truth. Behold, there shall yet rise up three kings in Persia: and the fourth shall be very far richer than all: and after that he is master of his wealth, he shall rise up against all the kingdoms of the Greeks.
3 Surget vero rex fortis et dominabitur potestate multa et faciet quod placuerit ei
And there shall rise up a mighty king, and he shall be lord of a great empire, and shall do according to his will.
4 Et cum steterit conteretur regnum eius et dividetur in quattuor ventos caeli sed non in posteros eius neque secundum potentiam illius qua dominatus est lacerabitur enim regnum eius etiam in externos exceptis his
And when his kingdom shall stand up, it shall be broken, and shall be divided to the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled over: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, and [given] to others beside these.
5 Et confortabitur rex Austri et de principibus eius praevalebit super eum et dominabitur ditione multa enim dominatio eius
And the king of the south shall be strong; and one of their princes shall prevail against him, and shall obtain a great dominion.
6 Et post finem annorum foederabuntur filiaque regis Austri veniet ad regem Aquilonis facere amicitiam et non obtinebit fortitudinem brachii nec stabit semen eius et tradetur ipsa et qui adduxerunt eam adolescentes eius et qui confortabant eam in temporibus
And after his years they shall associate; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north, to make agreements with him: but she shall not retain power of arm; neither shall his seed stand: and she shall be delivered up, and they that brought her, and the maiden, and he that strengthened her in these times.
7 Et stabit de germine radicum eius plantatio et veniet cum exercitu et ingredietur provinciam regis Aquilonis et abutetur eis et obtinebit
[But] out of the flower of her root there shall arise [one on] his place, and shall come against the host, and shall enter into the strongholds of the king of the north, and shall fight against them, and prevail.
8 Insuper et deos eorum et sculptilia vasa quoque pretiosa argenti et auri captiva ducet in Aegyptum ipse praevalebit adversus regem Aquilonis
Yea, he shall carry with a body of captives into Egypt their gods with their molten [images, and] all their precious vessels of silver and gold; and he shall last longer than the king of the north.
9 Et intrabit in regnum rex Austri et revertetur ad terram suam
And he shall enter into the kingdom of the king of the south, and shall return to his own land.
10 Filii autem eius provocabuntur et congregabunt multitudinem exercituum plurimorum et veniet properans et inundans et revertetur et concitabitur et congredietur cum robere eius
And his sons shall gather a multitude among many: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through, and he shall rest, and collect his strength.
11 Et provocatus rex Austri egredietur et pugnabit adversus regem Aquilonis et praeparabit multitudinem nimiam et dabitur multitudo in manu eius
And the king of the south shall be greatly enraged, and shall come forth, and shall war with the king of the north: and he shall raise a great multitude; but the multitude shall be delivered into his hand.
12 Et capiet multitudinem et exaltabitur cor eius et deiiciet multa millia sed non praevalebit
And he shall take the multitude, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down many thousands; but he shall not prevail.
13 Convertetur enim rex Aquilonis et praeparabit multitudinem multo maiorem quam prius et in fine temporum annorumque veniet properans cum exercitu magno et opibus nimiis
For the king of the north shall return, and bring a multitude greater than the former, and at the end of the times of years an invading army shall come with a great force, and with much substance.
14 Et in temporibus illis multi consurgent adversus regem Austri filii quoque praevaricatorum populi tui extollentur ut impleant visionem et corruent
And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south; and the children of the spoilers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; and they shall fail.
15 Et venit rex Aquilonis et comportabit aggerem et capiet urbes munitissimas et brachia Austri non sustinebunt et consurgent electi eius ad resistendum et non erit fortitudo
And the king of the north shall come in, and cast up a mound, and take strong cities: and the arms of the king of the south shall withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up, but there shall be no strength to stand.
16 Et faciet veniens super eum iuxta placitum suum et non erit qui stet contra faciem eius et stabit in terra inclyta et consumetur in manu eius
And he that comes in against him shall do according to his will, and there is no one to stand before him: and he shall stand in the land of beauty, and it shall be consumed by his hand.
17 Et ponet faciem suam ut veniat ad tenendum universum regnum eius et recta faciet cum eo et filiam feminarum dabit ei ut evertat illud et non stabit nec illius erit
And he shall set his face to come in with the force of his whole kingdom, and shall cause everything to prosper with him: and he shall give him the daughter of women to corrupt her: but she shall not continue, neither be on his side.
18 Et convertet faciem suam ad insulas et capiet multas et cessare faciet principem opprobrii sui et opprobrium eius convertetur in eum
And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many, and cause princes to cease from their reproach: nevertheless his own reproach shall return to him.
19 Et convertet faciem suam ad imperium terrae suae et impinget et corruet et non invenietur
Then he shall turn back his face to the strength of his own land: but he shall become weak, and fall, and not be found.
20 Et stabit in loco eius vilissimus et indignus decore regio et in paucis diebus conteretur non in furore nec in praelio
And there shall arise out of his root one that shall cause a plant of the kingdom to pass over his place, earning kingly glory: and yet in those days shall he be broken, yet not openly, nor in war.
21 Et stabit in loco eius despectus et non tribuetur ei honor regius et veniet clam et obtinebit regnum in fraudulentia
[One] shall stand on his place, [who] has been set at nought, and they have not put upon him the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in prosperously, and obtain the kingdom by deceitful ways.
22 Et brachia pugnantis expugnabuntur a facie eius et conterentur insuper et dux foederis
And the arms of him that overflows shall be washed away as with a flood from before him, and shall be broken, and [so shall be] the head of the covenant.
23 Et post amicitias cum eo faciet dolum et ascendet et superabit in modico populo
And because of the leagues made with him he shall work deceit: and he shall come up, and overpower them with a small nation.
24 Et abundantes et uberes urbes ingredietur et faciet quae non fecerunt patres eius et patres patrum eius rapinas et praedam et divinitas eorum dissipabit et contra firmissimas cogitationes inibit et hoc usque ad tempus
And he shall enter with prosperity, and [that] into fertile districts; and he shall do what his fathers and his fathers’ fathers have not done; he shall scatter among them plunder, and spoils, and wealth; and he shall devise plans against Egypt, even for a time.
25 Et concitabitur fortitudo eius et cor eius adversum regem Austri in exercitu magno et rex Austri provocabitur ad bellum multis auxiliis et fortibus nimis et non stabunt quia inibunt adversus eum consilia
And his strength and his heart shall be stirred up against the king of the south with a great force; and the king of the south shall engage in war with a great and very strong force; but [his forces] shall not stand, for they shall devise plans against him:
26 Et comedentes panem cum eo conterent illum exercitusque eius opprimetur et cadent interfecti plurimi
and they shall eat his provisions, and shall crush him, and he shall carry away armies as with a flood, and many shall fall down slain.
27 Duorum quoque regnum cor erit ut malefaciant et ad mensam unam mendacium loquentur et non proficient quia adhuc finis in aliud tempus
And [as for] both the kings, their hearts [are set] upon mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper; for yet the end is for a [fixed] time.
28 Et revertetur in terram suam cum opibus multis et cor eius adversum testamentum sanctum et faciet et revertetur in terram suam
And he shall return to his land with much substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall perform [great deeds], and return to his own land.
29 Statuto tempore revertetur et veniet ad Austrum et non erit priori simile novissimum
At the [set] time he shall return, and shall come into the south, but the last [expedition] shall [not] be as the first.
30 Et veniet super eum Trieres et Romani et percutietur et revertetur et indignabitur contra testamentum sanctuarii et faciet reverteturque et cogitabit adversum eos qui dereliquerunt testamentum sanctuarii
For the Citians issuing forth shall come against him, and he shall be brought low, and shall return, and shall be incensed against the holy covenant: and he shall do [thus], and shall return, and have intelligence with them that have forsaken the holy covenant.
31 Et brachia ex eo stabunt et polluent sanctuarium fortitudinis et auferent iuge sacrificium et dabunt abominationem in desolationem
And seeds shall spring up out of him, and they shall profane the sanctuary of strength, and they shall remove the perpetual [sacrifice], and make the abomination desolate.
32 Et impii in testamentum simulabunt fraudulenter populus autem sciens Deum suum obtinebit et faciet
And the transgressors shall bring about a covenant by deceitful ways: but a people knowing their God shall prevail, and do [valiantly].
33 Et docti in populo docebunt plurimos et ruent in gladio et in flamma et in captivitate et in rapina dierum
And the intelligent of the people shall understand much: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, and by captivity, and by spoil of [many] days.
34 Cumque corruerint sublevabuntur auxilio parvulo et applicabuntur eis plurimi fraudulenter
And when they are weak they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall attach themselves to them with treachery.
35 Et de eruditis ruent ut conflentur et eligantur et dealbentur usque ad tempus praefinitum quia adhuc aliud tempus erit
And [some] of them that understand shall fall, to try them as with fire, and to test [them], and that they may be manifested at the time of the end, for the matter [is] yet for a [set] time.
36 Et faciet iuxta voluntatem suam rex et elevabitur et magnificabitur adversus omnem deum et adversus Deum deorum loquetur magnifica et dirigetur donec compleatur iracundia perpetrata quippe est definitio
And he shall do according to his will, and the king shall exalt and magnify himself against every god, and shall speak great swelling words, and shall prosper until the indignation shall be accomplished: for it is coming to an end.
37 Et Deum patrum suorum non reputabit et erit in concupiscentiis feminarum nec quemquam deorum curabit quia adversum universa consurget
And he shall not regard any gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, neither shall he regard any deity: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 Deum autem Maozim in loco suo venerabitur et Deum quem ignoraverunt patres eius colet auro et argento et lapide pretioso rebusque pretiosis
And he shall honour the god of forces on his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not he shall honour with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and desirable things.
39 Et faciet ut muniat Maozim cum Deo alieno quem cognovit et multiplicabit gloriam et dabit eis potestatem in multis et terram dividet gratuito
And he shall do [thus] in the strong places of refuge with a strange god, and shall increase his glory: and he shall subject many to them, and shall distribute the land in gifts.
40 Et in tempore praefinito praeliabitur adversus eum rex Austri et quasi tempestas veniet contra illum rex Aquilonis in curribus et in equitibus et in classe magna et ingredietur terras et conteret et pertransiet
And at the end of the time he shall conflict with the king of the south: and the king of the north shall come against him with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and they shall enter into the land: and he shall break in pieces, and pass on:
41 Et introibit in terram gloriosam et multae corruent hae autem solae salvabuntur de manu eius Edom et Moab et principium filiorum Ammon
and he shall enter into the land of beauty, and many shall fail: but these shall escape out of his hand, Edom, and, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 Et mittet manum suam in terras et Terra Aegypti non effugiet
And he shall stretch forth [his] hand over the land; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 Et dominabitur thesaurorum auri et argenti et in omnibus pretiosis Aegypti per Libyam quoque et Aethiopiam transibit
And he shall have the mastery over the secret [treasures] of gold and silver, and over all the desirable [possessions] of Egypt, and of the Libyans and Ethiopians in their strongholds.
44 Et fama turbabit eum ab Oriente et ab Aquilone et veniet in multitudine magna ut conterat et interficiat plurimos
But rumours and anxieties out of the east and from the north shall trouble him; and he shall come with great wrath to destroy many.
45 Et figet tabernaculum suum Apadno inter maria super montem inclytum et sanctum et veniet usque ad summitatem eius et nemo auxiliabitur ei
And he shall pitch the tabernacle of his palace between the seas in the holy mountain of beauty: [but] he shall come to his portion, and there is none to deliver him.
