Daniel 11

1 El primer año de Darío el medo, me levanté para ser un estímulo y protección para él.

And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to be a supporter and a stronghold unto him.

2 Y ahora te anunciaré la verdad: Mira, se levantarán aún tres reyes en Persia, y el cuarto conseguirá grandes riquezas, más que todos ellos. Cuando se fortalezca por medio de sus riquezas, agitará a todos contra el reino de Grecia.

And now will I declare unto 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 Se levantará luego un rey poderoso que gobernará con gran dominio y hará lo que quiera.

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

4 Pero tan pronto como se levante, su reino será quebrantado y repartido a los cuatro puntos cardinales del cielo, pero no a sus descendientes, ni con el poder con el cual él dominó. Porque su reino será arrancado y pasará a otros fuera de aquéllos.

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 those.

5 El rey del sur será fuerte, pero uno de sus príncipes será más fuerte que él y ejercerá un dominio mayor que él.

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 Después de algunos años harán una alianza, y la hija del rey del sur irá al rey del norte para hacer la paz. Pero ella no retendrá su posición de poder, ni él permanecerá con su poder. Ella será entregada junto con los que la llevaron, con el que la engendró y con el que la fortaleció en su tiempo.

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 begot her, and he that obtained her in those times.

7 Pero un renuevo de sus raíces se levantará sobre su trono, quien vendrá con ejército contra el rey del norte. Entrará en la fortaleza del rey del norte, luchará contra ellos y prevalecerá.

But one of the shoots of her roots shall stand up in his place, and shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the stronghold of the king of the north, and shall deal with them, and shall prevail;

8 También se llevará a Egipto a los ʼelohim de ellos, sus imágenes fundidas y sus objetos preciosos de plata y oro. Por [algunos] años él se mantendrá [contra] el rey del norte.

and also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he bring into captivity into Egypt; and he shall desist some years from the king of the north.

9 Y [éste] entrará en el reino del sur y volverá a su tierra.

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

10 Pero sus hijos se movilizarán, reunirán una multitud de grandes fuerzas que llegarán, inundarán, pasarán y volverán a hacer guerra, aun contra la fortaleza.

And his sons shall stir themselves up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, and he shall come on, and overflow, as he passes through; and he shall return and stir himself up, even to his stronghold.

11 Por lo cual el rey del sur se enfurecerá. Saldrá, peleará contra el rey del norte y pondrá una gran multitud en campaña. Toda aquella multitud será entregada en su mano.

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, but the multitude shall be given into his hand.

12 Cuando se lleve la multitud, su corazón se enaltecerá. Derribará a muchos millares, pero no prevalecerá.

and the multitude shall be carried away, and his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down tens of thousands; but he shall not prevail.

13 El rey del norte volverá a alistar una multitud mayor que la primera. Al final de algunos años presionará con un gran ejército y mucho equipo.

And the king of the north shall again 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 En aquellos tiempos se levantarán muchos contra el rey del sur. Hombres violentos de tu pueblo se levantarán para cumplir la visión, pero fracasarán.

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 stumble.

15 Vendrá el rey del norte, levantará baluartes y tomará la ciudad fortificada. Las fuerzas del sur no podrán sostenerse, ni sus tropas escogidas, porque no [tendrá] fuerzas para resistir.

And the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city; and the arms of the south shall not withstand; and as for his chosen people, there shall be no strength in them to withstand.

16 El que vendrá contra él hará lo que quiera, y no habrá quien se le [pueda] enfrentar. Permanecerá en la tierra gloriosa, la cual será destruida bajo su poder.

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 beauteous land, and in his hand shall be extermination.

17 Luego [el rey del norte] dirigirá su mirada para conquistar todo el reino [del sur]. Hará convenios con él y le dará a su hija como esposa para destruirlo, pero no permanecerá ni tendrá éxito.

And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, but shall make an agreement with him; and he shall give him the daughter of women, to destroy it; but it shall not stand, neither be for him.

18 Entonces volverá su rostro a las costas, y tomará muchas [de ellas]. Pero un príncipe hará cesar su afrenta, y aun hará volver su oprobio sobre él.

After this shall he set his face unto the isles, and shall take many; but a captain shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, he shall cause his own reproach to return upon him.

19 Luego volverá su mirada hacia las fortalezas de su tierra, pero tropezará y caerá. No se volverá a hallar.

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

20 Se levantará otro en su lugar que enviará un cobrador de tributos por todo el esplendor del reino. Pero a los pocos días será quebrantado, aunque no con furia, ni en batalla.

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 Un hombre despreciable le sucederá, a quien no se otorgará la majestad del reino. Pero vendrá con tranquilidad y tomará el reino por medio de intrigas.

And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, upon whom had not been conferred the majesty of the kingdom; but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by blandishments.

22 Las fuerzas enemigas serán arrasadas como inundación de aguas delante de él. Serán completamente destruidas, junto con el príncipe del pacto.

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

23 Porque después de hacer pacto con él, engañará, subirá y saldrá vencedor con poca gente.

And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; and he shall come up and become strong, with a little nation.

24 Cuando la provincia esté en paz y abundancia, entrará y hará lo que sus padres y abuelos no hicieron: repartirá botín, despojos y riquezas a sus guerreros. Tramará sus designios contra las fortalezas, pero por un tiempo.

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 fortresses, but only until the time.

25 Con un gran ejército moverá su poderío y su ardor contra el rey del sur. También el rey del sur se empeñará en la guerra con un ejército grande y poderoso. Pero no prevalecerá, porque habrá designios contra él.

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 stir himself up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him.

26 Aun lo quebrantarán los que coman de sus manjares. Su ejército será destruido y muchos caerán muertos.

Yea, they that eat of his food shall destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall down slain.

27 Estos dos reyes maquinarán el mal en su corazón. Se hablarán mentira en una misma mesa, pero no prosperarán, porque el fin es aún para un tiempo determinado.

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 the end remaineth yet for the time appointed.

28 Volverá a su tierra con gran riqueza, y su corazón estará contra el Pacto santo. Hará lo que quiera y volverá a su tierra.

And he shall return to his own 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 En el tiempo señalado volverá hacia el sur, pero la última llegada no será como la primera.

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 Porque las naves de Quitim vendrán contra él, y será intimidado. Volverá, se enfurecerá contra el Pacto santo, actuará, volverá y se entenderá con los que abandonan el Pacto santo.

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

31 Su tropas se levantarán y profanarán el Santuario y la fortaleza. Quitarán el continuo sacrificio y pondrán allí la repugnancia desoladora.

And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the stronghold, and shall take away the continual burnt-offering, and they shall set up the detestable thing that causeth appalment.

32 Seducirá a los violadores del Pacto con lisonjas, pero el pueblo que conoce a su ʼElohim se esforzará y actuará.

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall be corrupt by blandishments; but the people that know their God shall show strength, and prevail.

33 Los sabios del pueblo harán que muchos comprendan, aunque por algunos días caerán a espada y fuego, en cautividad y despojo.

And they that are wise among the people shall cause the many to understand; yet they shall stumble by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, many days.

34 En su caída serán ayudados con un socorro pequeño, y muchos se unirán a ellos con lisonjas.

Now when they shall stumble, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves unto them with blandishments.

35 También algunos de los que tengan entendimiento caerán, para que sean refinados, purificados y emblanquecidos hasta el tiempo del fin, porque aún no llega el tiempo determinado.

And some of them that are wise shall stumble, to refine among them, and to purify, and to make white, even to the time of the end; for it is yet for the time appointed.

36 Aquel rey hará lo que quiera, se ensoberbecerá y se engrandecerá sobre todo dios. Contra el ʼEl de los ʼelohim hablará cosas espantosas. Prosperará, hasta que sea consumada la ira, porque lo decretado se cumplirá.

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

37 No prestará atención a los ʼelohim de sus antepasados, ni atenderá el deseo de las mujeres, ni respetará a algún ʼelohim, porque se exaltará por encima de todo.

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

38 Pero en su lugar honra al ʼeloha de las fortalezas, a quien sus antepasados no conocieron. Lo honrará con oro, plata, piedras costosas y cosas agradables.

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

39 Actuará contra las fortalezas inexpugnables con la unión a un ʼeloha extraño, y llenará de honores a los que lo reconozcan. Les dará dominio sobre muchos y repartirá la tierra por precio.

And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god; whom he shall acknowledge, shall increase glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.

40 Pero después de un tiempo, el rey del sur arremeterá contra él. Como una tempestad el rey del norte se levantará contra él con carruajes, gente a caballo y con muchos barcos. Entrará en los países y pasará sobre ellos.

And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at 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, as he passes through.

41 Entrará en la tierra gloriosa, y muchas provincias caerán. Pero Edom, Moab y la mayoría de los hijos de Amón escaparán de su mano.

He shall enter also into the beauteous 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 Extenderá también su mano contra otras tierras, y la tierra de Egipto no escapará.

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

43 Se apoderará de los tesoros de oro, plata y todas las cosas preciosas de Egipto. Los libios y etíopes seguirán sus huellas.

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

44 Pero noticias del oriente y del norte lo turbarán. Saldrá con gran furia para destruir y matar a muchos.

But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall affright him; and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to take away many.

45 Plantará las tiendas de su palacio entre los mares y la Montaña gloriosa y santa. Pero le vendrá su fin, y no tendrá quien lo ayude.

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