Daniel 11

1 Tudi jaz sem v prvem letu Medijca Dareja, celó jaz, stal, da ga potrdim in okrepim.

And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

2 Sedaj ti bom pokazal resnico: »Glej, v Perziji bodo vstali še trije kralji, četrti pa bo mnogo bogatejši kakor oni vsi. S svojo močjo bo po svojih bogastvih vse razvnel zoper področje Grčije.

And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.

3 Vstal bo mogočen kralj, ki bo vladal z velikim gospostvom in počel glede na svojo voljo.

And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

4 Ko bo vstal, bo njegovo kraljestvo zlomljeno in razdeljeno bo proti štirim vetrovom neba, in ne k njegovemu potomstvu niti glede na njegovo gospostvo, ki mu je vladal, kajti njegovo kraljestvo bo izpuljeno, celo za druge poleg teh.

And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside these.

5 Južni kralj bo močan in eden izmed njegovih princev in on bo močan nad njim in imel bo gospostvo; njegovo gospostvo bo veliko gospostvo.

And the king of the south shall be strong, and [one] of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

6 Ob koncu let se bosta združila skupaj, kajti kraljeva hči iz juga bo prišla k severnemu kralju, da sklene dogovor. Toda ona ne bo obdržala moči lakta niti on ne bo obstal niti njegov laket, temveč bo izdana in tisti, ki so jo privedli in tisti, ki jo je zaplodil in kdor jo je okrepil v teh časih.

And 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 the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times.

7 Toda iz mladike njenih korenin bo vstal nekdo v svoji lastnini, ki bo prišel z vojsko in vstopil v trdnjavo severnega kralja in se bo spoprijel zoper njih in bo prevladal.

But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, which shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:

8 Prav tako bo ujete odvedel v Egipt njihove bogove z njihovimi princi in z njihovimi dragocenimi posodami iz srebra in zlata, in nadaljeval bo več let kakor kralj iz severa.

And also their gods, with their molten images, [and] with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north.

9 Tako bo južni kralj prišel v svoje kraljestvo in se bo vrnil v svojo lastno deželo.

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

10 Toda njegova sinova bosta razvneta in bosta zbrala množico velikih sil, in nekdo bo zagotovo prišel, preplavil in šel skozi. Potem se bo vrnil in bo razvnet, celó do svoje trdnjave.

And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through: and they shall return and war, even to his fortress.

11 Južni kralj bo prevzet z gnevom in prišel bo in se boril z njim, celó s severnim kraljem, in postavil bo veliko množico, toda množica bo dana v njegovo roko.

And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.

12 In ko bo odvedel množico, bo njegovo srce povzdignjeno in podrl bo mnogo deset tisočev, toda s tem ne bo okrepljen.

And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted: and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.

13 Kajti severni kralj se bo vrnil in vzpostavil množico, večjo kakor prejšnja in zagotovo bo prišel čez določena leta z veliko vojsko in z mnogimi bogastvi.

And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, [even of] years, with a great army and with much substance.

14 V tistih časih bodo mnogi vstali zoper južnega kralja. Tudi roparji tvojega ljudstva se bodo povišali, da vzpostavijo videnje; vendar bodo padli.

And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall.

15 Tako bo prišel severni kralj in nasul nasip in zavzel najbolj utrjena mesta, in orožje iz juga se ne bo zoperstavilo niti njegovo izvoljeno ljudstvo niti ne bo nobene moči, da se zoperstavi.

So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take a well fenced city: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

16 Toda tisti, ki prihaja zoper njega, bo storil glede na svojo lastno voljo in nihče ne bo obstal pred njim. Ta pa bo stal v veličastni deželi, ki bo z njegovo roko použita.

But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction.

17 Svoj obraz bo tudi naravnal, da vstopi z močjo svojega celotnega kraljestva in pokončni z njim. Tako bo storil. Dal mu bo hčer izmed žensk, kvareč jo, toda ona ne bo obstala na njegovi strani niti ne bo zanj.

And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he shall do [his pleasure]: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him.

18 Potem bo svoj obraz obrnil k otokom in bo mnoge zavzel, toda princ bo zaradi svoje koristi povzročil, da bo zasramovanje, ki ga je ta dajal, prenehalo. Brez njegovega lastnega zasramovanja mu bo povzročil, da se to obrne nadenj.

After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him.

19 Potem bo svoj obraz obrnil proti utrdbi svoje lastne dežele, toda spotaknil se bo, padel in ne bo najden.

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

20 Potem bo v svoji lastnini vstal prenašalec davkov v slavi kraljestva, toda v nekaj dneh bo uničen, niti z jezo, niti v bitki.

Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

21 V njegovi lastnini bo vstala podla oseba, ki ji ne bodo dali časti kraljestva, toda vstopil bo miroljubno in kraljestvo dosegel z laskanji.

And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

22 S silami poplave bodo odplavljeni izpred njega in bodo zlomljeni; da, tudi princ zaveze.

And with the arms of a flood shall they be swept away from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

23 Potem ko z njim sklene sodelovanje, bo postopal varljivo, kajti prišel bo gor in postal močan z majhnim ljudstvom.

And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.

24 Vstopil bo miroljubno, celo na najrodovitnejše kraje province. Počel bo to, kar njegovi očetje niso storili niti očetje njihovih očetov. Mednje bo razkropil plen, oplenjeno in bogastva. Da, napovedal bo svoje naklepe zoper oporišča, celo za nekaj časa.

In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: yea, he shall devise his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

25 Z veliko vojsko bo razvnel svojo moč in svoj pogum zoper južnega kralja, in južni kralj bo razvnet v bitko z veliko in mogočno vojsko, toda ne bo obstal, kajti zoper njega bodo napovedali naklepe.

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 war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army: but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him.

26 Da, tisti, ki se hranijo od deleža njegove hrane, ga bodo uničili in njegova vojska se bo razkropila. Mnogi bodo popadali umorjeni.

Yea, they that eat of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.

27 Srci obeh teh kraljev bosta počeli vragolijo in pri eni mizi bosta govorila laži. Toda to ne bo uspelo, kajti vendar bo konec ob določenem času.

And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

28 Potem se bo vrnil v svojo deželo z velikimi bogastvi, in njegovo srce bo zoper sveto zavezo. Počel bo junaška dejanja in se vrnil v svojo lastno deželo.

Then shall he return into his land with great substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall do [his pleasure], and return to his own land.

29 Ob določenem času se bo vrnil in prišel proti jugu, toda ta ne bo kakor prejšnji ali kakor zadnji.

At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.

30 Kajti ladje Kitéjcev bodo prišle zoper njega. Zato bo užaloščen, se vrnil in bo ogorčen zoper sveto zavezo. Tako bo storil; torej vrnil se bo in imel posvet s tistimi, ki so zapustili sveto zavezo.

For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do [his pleasure]: he shall even return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant.

31 Sile bodo stopile na njegovo stran in oskrunili bodo svetišče moči in odpravili bodo dnevno daritev in postavili ogabnost, ki dela opustošenje.

And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual [burnt offering]; and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate.

32 Tiste, ki zlobno ravnajo zoper zavezo, bo pokvaril z laskanji, toda ljudstvo, ki pozna svojega Boga, bo močno in delalo bo junaška dela.

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries: but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].

33 Tisti med ljudstvom, ki razumejo, bodo poučevali mnoge, vendar bodo padali pod mečem in v plamenu, v ujetništvu in po plenjenju, mnogo dni.

And they that be wise among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, [many] days.

34 Torej ko bodo padali, jim bo pomagano z majhno pomočjo, toda mnogi se jih bodo oklenili z laskanji.

Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall join themselves unto them with flatteries.

35 Nekateri izmed tistih z razumevanjem bodo padli, da se jih preizkusi in prečisti in se jih naredi bele, celó do časa konca, ker je to še za določeni čas.

And some of them that be wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for the time appointed.

36 Kralj pa bo počel glede na svojo voljo in poviševal se bo in se poveličeval nad vsakega boga in govoril bo osupljive stvari zoper Boga bogov in uspeval bo, dokler ne bo dovršeno ogorčenje, kajti to, kar je določeno, bo storjeno.

And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods: and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.

37 Niti se ne bo oziral na Boga svojih očetov, niti na željo žensk, niti na kateregakoli boga, kajti poveličeval se bo nad vse.

Neither shall he regard the gods his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

38 Toda v svoji lastnini bo spoštoval boga sil, in boga, ki ga njegovi očetje niso poznali, bo častil z zlatom, srebrom, dragocenimi kamni in prijetnimi stvarmi.

But in his place shall he honour the god of fortresses: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

39 Tako bo storil v najmočnejših oporiščih s tujim bogom, ki ga bo priznal in narastel s slavo. Povzročil jim bo, da vladajo nad mnogimi in deželo bo razdelil zaradi dobička.

And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a strange god; whosoever acknowledgeth [him] he will increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.

40 Ob času konca bo južni kralj pritisnil nanj in severni kralj bo prišel proti njemu kot vrtinčast veter, z bojnimi vozovi in s konjeniki in z mnogimi ladjami in vstopil bo v dežele, jih preplavil in prešel.

And at the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with 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 enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through.

41 Vstopil bo tudi v veličastno deželo in mnoge dežele bodo premagane, toda te bodo pobegnile iz njegove roke, celó Edóm, Moáb in vodja Amónovih sinov.

He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown: but these shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

42 Svojo roko bo iztegnil tudi nad dežele in egiptovska dežela ne bo ubežala.

He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

43 Toda imel bo oblast nad zakladi iz zlata, srebra in nad vsemi dragocenimi egiptovskimi stvarmi in Libijci in Etiopijci bodo pri njegovih korakih.

But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

44 Toda novice iz vzhoda in iz severa ga bodo vznemirile, zato bo šel naprej z veliko razjarjenostjo, da uniči in popolnoma odpravi mnoge.

But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many.

45 Zasadil bo šotorska svetišča svoje palače med morjem in veličastno sveto goro, vendar bo prišel do svojega konca in nihče mu ne bo pomagal.

And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
