Daniel 11

1 E eu, no primeiro ano de Dario o medo, estive para confortá-lo e fortalecê-lo.

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

2 E agora eu te declararei a verdade. Eis que ainda haverá três reis na Pérsia, e o quarto acumulará mais riquezas que todos; e fortificando-se com suas riquezas, despertará a todos contra o reino da Grécia.

[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.

3 Depois se levantará um rei poderoso, que reinará com grande domínio, e fará conforme sua vontade.

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.

4 Mas quando ele estiver erguido, seu reino será quebrantado, e repartido nos quatro ventos do céu; porém não a seus descendentes, nem conforme seu domínio com que ele reinou; porque seu reino será arrancado, e será para outros fora destes.

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.

5 E o rei do sul se fortalecerá; mas um de seus príncipes se fortalecerá mais que ele, e reinará; e seus domínio será um grande domínio.

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.

6 Mas ao fim de [alguns] anos eles se aliarão, e a filha do rei do sul virá ao rei do norte para fazer os acordos. Porém ela não poderá reter a força de seu poder; por isso nem ele, nem seu poder persistirá; porque ela será entregue, e os que a tiverem trazido, e seu pai, e ao que a fortalecia naqueles tempos.

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.

7 Mas do renovo de suas raízes um se levantará em seu lugar; e virá com exército, e entrará na fortaleza do rei do norte, e agirá contra eles, e prevalecerá.

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.

8 E até seus deuses com seus príncipes, com seus vasos preciosos de prata e de ouro, levará cativos ao Egito; e por [alguns] anos ele deixará de atacar o rei do norte;

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.

9 O qual virá ao reino o rei do sul, e voltará para sua terra.

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

10 Porém os filhos dele se agitarão [para a guerra], e ajuntarão uma multidão de grandes exércitos; e certamente avançará, inundará, e passará; e quando voltar, se agitará [em guerra] até sua fortaleza.

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].

11 Então o rei do sul se enfurecerá, e sairá, e lutará contra ele, o rei do norte; e mobiliza uma grande multidão, porém toda aquela multidão será entregue em sua mão.

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.

12 Quando for perdida aquele multidão, seu coração se exaltará; e ainda que derrube muitos milhares; contudo não prevalecerá.

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.

13 E o rei do norte voltará, e porá em campo uma multidão maior que a primeira, e a fim do tempo de [alguns] anos avançará com grande exército e com muitos suprimentos.

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].

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

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.

15 Então o rei do norte virá, e levantará cerco, e tomará a cidade forte; e os poderes do sul não poderão subsistir, nem os melhores de seu povo, nem haverá força que possa subsistir.

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.

16 E o que virá contra ele fará sua própria vontade, e não haverá quem possa subsistir diante dele; ele estará na terra gloriosa, e o poder de destruir estará em sua mão.

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.

17 Ele decidirá vir com o poder de todo seu reino; e os corretos com ele, e [assim] fará; e lhe dará uma filha de mulheres para destruir [o reino]; mas ela não terá sucesso, nem será para proveito dele.

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.

18 Depois virará seu rosto para as terras costeiras, e tomará muitas; mas um príncipe fará cessar sua humilhação por ele, e ainda fará tornar sobre ele sua humilhação.

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.

19 Então virará seu rosto para as fortalezas de sua terra; mas tropeçará e cairá, e não será mais achado.

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.

20 E em seu lugar se levantará um que fará passar um cobrador de impostos para glória real; mas em poucos dias será quebrantado, não por causa de ira nem de batalha.

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.

21 Depois se levantará em seu lugar um ser desprezível, ao qual não darão a honra real; mas virá durante a quietude, e tomará o reino por meio de enganos.

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.

22 E exércitos em grande volume serão repelidos diante dele, e serão quebrantados; assim como também o príncipe do pacto.

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

23 E depois de fizerem acordos com ele, ele usará engano, e subirá; será fortalecido [mesmo] com pouca gente.

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.

24 Quando houver tranquilidade nas mais prósperas [regiões] da província, ele virá e fará o que nunca fizeram seus pais, nem os pais de seus pais; ele repartirá presa, despojos, e riquezas entre os seus; e voltará seus pensamentos contra as fortalezas; porém [somente] por um tempo.

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.

25 E despertará sua forças e sua coragem contra o rei do sul, com grande exército; e o rei do sul se agitará para a guerra com grande e muito poderoso exército; mas não prevalecerá, porque tramarão planos contra ele.

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.

26 Até os que comerem de sua comida o destruirão; e seu exército será repelido, e muitos cairão mortos.

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.

27 E o coração destes dois reis será para fazer mal, e em uma mesma mesa falarão mentiras; mas isto não terá sucesso, pois ainda [haverá] o fim no tempo determinado.

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].

28 E voltará para sua terra com grande riqueza, e seu coração será contra o pacto santo; e ele fará [o que decidir], e voltará a sua terra.

[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.

29 A certo tempo voltará a vir ao sul; mas a última [vinda] não será como a primeira.

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.

30 Porque navios de Quitim virão contra ele, de modo que ele se entristecerá, voltará, e se indignará contra o pacto santo, e ele fará [o que decidir]; pois quando voltar, ele dará atenção aos que tiverem abandonado o pacto santo.

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.

31 E tropas virão da parte dele, e profanarão o santuário e a fortaleza; tirarão o contínuo [sacrifício], e porão uma abominação assoladora.

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.

32 E com lisonjas ele perverterá aos violadores do pacto; mas o povo que conhece a seu Deus com força resistirá.

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.

33 E os entendidos do povo ensinarão a muitos; porém cairão à espada e a fogo, por meio de cativeiro e de despojo, por [muitos] dias.

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.

34 E quando eles caírem, serão ajudados por um pequeno socorro; contudo muitos se aliarão a eles através de enganos.

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.

35 E alguns dos sábios cairão para serem refinados, purificados e limpos, até o tempo do fim; porque [isto] ainda será para o tempo determinado.

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.

36 E o rei fará a sua vontade; e se exaltará, e se engrandecerá sobre todo deus; ele falará coisas arrogantes contra o Deus dos deuses, e será próspero, até que a ira se complete; pois o que está determinado será feito.

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.

37 Ele não respeitará os deuses de seus pais, nem para o preferido das mulheres; nem respeitará deus algum, pois se engrandecerá sobre todos.

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.

38 Mas em seu lugar honrará ao deus das fortalezas, um deus que seus pais nem sequer conheceram; ele o horará com ouro, prata, pedras preciosas, e com coisas de grande valor.

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.

39 E ele atacará fortes fortalezas com o deus estrangeiro; aos que o reconhecerem, ele aumentará a honra; e ele os fará terem domínio sobre muitos, e repartirá a terra por preço.

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.

40 E no tempo do fim o rei do sul lutará contra ele; e o rei do norte levantará como tempestade contra ele, com carruagens, cavaleiros, e muitos navios; e entrará pelas terras, arruinará como se fosse inundação, e passará.

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].

41 E virá à terra gloriosa, e muitos [povos] cairão; mas estes escaparão de sua mão: Edom, Moabe, e os líderes dos filhos de Amom.

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.

42 E estenderá sua mão a [outras] terras, e a terra do Egito não escapará.

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

43 E se apoderará dos tesouros de ouro e prata, e de todas as coisas valiosas do Egito, os líbios e os cuxitas o seguirão.

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.

44 Porém notícias do oriente e do norte o espantarão; e ele sairá com grande furor para destruir e matar muitos.

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].

45 E armará a tendas de seu palácio entre os mares, no glorioso monte santo; mas ele virá a seu fim, e não haverá quem o ajude.

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.”
