Книга пророка Даниила 11

1 Аз же в первое лето Кирово стах в державу и крепость.

"And as for me, in the first year of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.

2 И ныне истину возвещу тебе се, еще трие царие востанут в Персиде четвертый же разбогатеет богатством великим паче всех и по одержании богатства своего востанет на вся царства Еллинская:

And now what I show you is true. Look, there shall arise three more kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all the kingdom of Greece.

3 и востанет царь силен, и обладает властию многою, и сотворит по воли своей.

And a powerful king shall arise, who shall rule an extensive empire, and do as he pleases.

4 И егда станет царство его сокрушится и разделится на четыри ветры небесныя, и не в последняя своя, ниже по власти своей, еюже совладе, понеже исторгнется царство его и другим кроме сих отдастся.

When he shall arise, his kingdom shall be broken up, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, and will go to others besides these.

5 И укрепится царь южский, и от князей их един укепеет нань и обладает властию многою над властию его.

The king of the south shall grow strong, and one of his officers shall grow more powerful, and shall have a greater kingdom than his.

6 И по летех его смесятся, и дщи царя южска внидет к северску царю, еже сотворити завет с ним, и не удержит крепости мышцы, и не станет племя ея, и предастся та и приведшии ю, и дева и укрепляяй ю во временех.

At the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain her power; neither shall his strength endure; but she shall be surrendered, and her attendants, and he who became the father of her, and he who supported her in those times.

7 И востанет от цвета корене ея на уготование его и приидет в силу, и внидет во утверждения царя северскаго и сотворит в них и одержит:

But out of a shoot from her roots shall arise in his place, who shall come against the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.

8 и боги их со слиянными их, вся сосуды их вожделенны сребра и злата с пленники принесет во Египет, и той востанет паче царя северска:

Also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall withdraw for some years from the king of the north.

9 и внидет в царство царя южскаго, и возвратится на свою землю.

And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.

10 И сынове его соберут народ силен мног, и внидет грядый и потопляяй: и мимо прейдет и сядет, и даже до крепости его снидется.

And his sons shall wage war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance and overflow and pass through, and they shall return and wage war, as far as his fortress.

11 И разсвирепеет царь южский, и изыдет и брань сотворит с царем северским, и поставит народ мног, и предастся народ в руце его.

The king of the south shall be moved with rage and shall come forth and fight against him, even with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.

12 И возмет народы, и возвысится сердце его, и соодолеет тмам, и не укрепеет.

The multitude shall be taken away, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.

13 И возвратится царь северский и приведет народ мног паче прежняго: и на конец времен лет приидет входом в силе велицей и со имением многим.

The king of the north shall return, and shall raise a multitude greater than the former; and he shall advance after some years with a great army and with abundant supplies.

14 И в лета она мнози востанут на царя южска, и сынове губителей людий твоих воздвигнутся, еже поставити видение, и изнемогут.

And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south: also the violent ones among your people shall rise up in confirmation of the vision; but they shall fail.

15 И внидет царь северский и сотворит окоп и возмет грады тверды, мышцы же царя южскаго не станут и востанут избраннии его, и не будет крепости еже стати.

So the king of the north shall come, and build up a siege mound and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not prevail, neither his best troops, neither shall there be any strength to resist.

16 И сотворит входяй к нему по воли своей, и несть стоящаго противу лица его: и станет на земли савеи, и скончается в руце его.

But he who comes against him shall do as he pleases, and no one shall be able to withstand him. And he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction will be within his power.

17 И вчинит лице свое внити в силе всего царства своего, и праве вся сотворит с ним: и дщерь жен даст ему еже растлити ю, и не пребудет, и не будет ему.

He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with him which he shall put into effect. And he shall give him a daughter of women to send destruction on him; but it will not last or be to his advantage.

18 И обратит лице свое на островы, и возмет многи, и погубит князи укоризны своея, обаче укоризна его возвратится ему.

After this shall he turn his face to the coastal regions, and shall capture many. But a commander shall bring his insolence to an end. In addition, he shall repay him for his insolence.

19 И обратит лице свое в крепость земли своея, и изнеможет, и падется, и не обрящется.

Then he shall turn his attention toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found again.

20 И востанет от корене его сад царства на уготование его производяй творяй славу царства: и в тыя дни еще сокрушится, и не в лицах, ни в рати:

Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, though not in anger nor in battle.

21 станет во уготовании его ункчижися, и не даша нань славы царства: и приидет со обилием и соодолеет царству лестьми,

In his place shall arise a despicable person, to whom the honor of kingship had not been given, but he shall come in a time of prosperity, and shall obtain the kingdom through deceit.

22 и мышцы потопляющаго потопятся от лица его и сокрушатся и старейшина завета.

And large armies shall be swept away and shattered before him, as well as the prince of the covenant.

23 И от совокуплений к нему сотворит лесть, и взыдет, и преодолеет их в мале языце:

And after an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall become strong with a small force.

24 и во обилие и в тучныя страны приидет, и сотворит, яже не сотвориша отцы его и отцы отцев его: пленение и корысти и имение им расточит, и на Египта помыслит мыслию даже до времене.

In a time of prosperity he shall come even on the richest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor their fathers; he shall distribute among them plunder, and spoil, and property. He shall devise plans against their strongholds, but only for a time.

25 И востанет крепость его, и сердце его на царя южскаго в силе велице, царь же южский сотворит с ним сечь силою великою и крепкою зело, и не станут: яко помышляют нань помышления

And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall wage war in battle with an extremely large and powerful army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise plans against him.

26 и изядят потребная его и сокрушат его, и силы разсыплет, и падут язвении мнози.

Yes, those who eat of his royal food shall seek to destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall slain.

27 И оба царя, сердца их на лукавство, и на трапезе единей возглаголют лжу, и не предуспеет, яко еще конец на время.

As for both these kings, their minds shall be fixed on evil, and they shall speak lies at the table; but it shall not succeed; for still the end shall be at the appointed time.

28 И возвратится на свою землю со имением многим, и сердце его на завет святый, и сотворит, и возвратится на свою землю.

Then shall he return into his land with great property; and his mind shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall take action, and then return to his own land.

29 На время возвратится и приидет на юг, и не будет якоже первая и последняя.

At the appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before.

30 И внидут с ним исходящии Китяне, и смирится, и возвратится, и возярится на завет святый: и сотворит, и возвратится, и умыслит на оставльшыя завет святый.

For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be intimidated, and shall turn back, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and shall take action. He shall turn back, and show regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.

31 И мышцы и племена от него востанут и осквернят святыню могутства и преставят жертву всегдашнюю и дадят мерзость запустения,

Forces shall come at his order, and they shall profane the sanctuary and the fortress, and shall take away the daily burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that causes desolation.

32 и беззаконнующии завет наведут со прелестию: людие же ведуще Бога своего премогут и сотворят,

And those who act wickedly toward the covenant he shall corrupt by smooth words; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and take action.

33 и смысленнии людие уразумеют много, и изнемогут в мечи и в пламени, и в пленении и в разграблении дний.

And those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.

34 И егда изнемогут, поможется им помощию малою, и приложатся к ним мнози со прелестию.

Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join with them insincerely.

35 И от смысливших изнемогут, еже разжещи я и избрати, и еже открыти даже до конца времене, яко еще на время.

Some of those who are wise shall fall, to be refined, purified and cleansed until the time of the end; for the appointed time is still to come.

36 И сотворит по воли своей, и царь возвысится и возвеличится над всяким богом, и на Бога богов возглаголет тяжкая, и управит, дондеже скончает гнев, в скончание бо бывает.

And the king shall do as he pleases. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak outrageous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is decreed shall be done.

37 И о всех бозех отцев своих не смыслит, и рачении жен, и о всяцем бозе не уразумеет, понеже паче всех возвеличится.

Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the one desired by women, nor show regard to any other god, because he shall magnify himself above all.

38 И бога маозима на месте своем прославит, и бога, егоже не ведеша отцы его, почтит сребром и златом и камыком честным и похотьми,

But instead he shall honor the god of fortresses; a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold and silver, and with valuable stones, and costly gifts.

39 и сотворит тверделем убежищ с богом чуждим, егоже познает, и умножит славу, и покорит им многи, и землю разделит в дары.

And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he shall grant considerable honor; and he shall make them rulers over many, and shall divide the land for a price.

40 И на конец времене сразится ратию с царем южским: и соберется на него царь северский с колесницами и с конники и с корабли многими, и внидет в землю, и сокрушит, и мимоидет,

And at the time of the end shall the king of the south attack him. And the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall invade countries, and pass through like a flood.

41 и внидет на землю саваимску, и мнози изнемогут: сии же спасутся от руки его, Едом и Моав и начало сынов Аммоних.

He shall enter also into the beautiful land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.

42 И прострет руку свою на землю, и земля Египетска не будет во спасение.

He shall reach out his hand also on other countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

43 И владети начнет в сокровенных злата и сребра и во всех вожделенных Египта и Ливиев и Ефиопов, в тверделех их.

But he shall have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his feet.

44 И слышания и поткщания возмутят его от восток и от севера: и приидет во ярости мнозе, еже погубити многи.

But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with tremendous rage to destroy and utterly sweep away many.

45 И поткнет кущу свою ефадано между морями, на горе святей савеи, приидет даже до части ея, и несть избавляяй его.

And he shall pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with no one to help him.
