Daniel 11

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

And I in the first year of Darius the Mede had my station to assist and to protect 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 tell thee the truth. Behold, there will stand up yet three kings of Persia: and the fourth will obtain far greater riches than all [these]: and when he is strong through his riches will he stir up all, [namely, ] the kingdom of Javan.

3 Se levantará luego un rey poderoso que gobernará con gran dominio y hará lo que quiera.

And then will stand up a mighty king, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his pleasure.

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 have stood, his kingdom will be broken, and will be divided toward the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled; for his kingdom will be torn asunder 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 will become strong, yea, he who is one of his princes; but [another] will become strong against him, and will rule: a great dominion will his dominion be.

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.

But at the end of [some] years will they associate themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make a settlement of difficulties; but she will not retain the power of the support; neither will he stand, nor his support: but she will be given up with those that had brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened 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 there will up a sprout of her roots in his place, and he will come to the army, and will enter into the stronghold of the king of the north, and will deal with them, and 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, with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, will he carry into captivity to Egypt; and he will stand off some years from the king of the north.

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

But this one will then enter the kingdom of the king of the south, and then 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.

But his sons will commence a war, and assemble a multitude of great armies; and one will certainly enter, and overflow, and pass along: then will he return, and make war again, 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 will be moved with bitter wrath, and go forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he will set forth a great multitude; but the multitude [of the other] will be given up into his hand.

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

And the multitude will be lifted up, and his heart will become proud; and he will cast down myriads; but he will not be strengthened by it.

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 will return, and set forth a multitude greater than the former; and at the end of the times, of years, will he certainly come with a great army and with much riches.

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 many will stand up against the king of the south: also the rebellious sons of thy people will lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they will 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 will come, and cast up a mound, and capture the city defended by fortifications: and the arms of the south will not withstand, and as regardeth his chosen people, there will be no power [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 them will do according to his pleasure, and none will stand before him; and he will place himself in the glorious land, which will be altogether in his hand.

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.

He will also direct his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, having professions of peace with him; and thus will he do it: and he will give him the daughter of his wife to destroy it: but it will not stand, and it will not remain his.

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.

And he will direct his face unto the isles, and capture many; but a chieftain will cause to cease his reproach against him: without his giving back to him his own reproach.

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

Then will he direct his face toward the strong-holds of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and will no more 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.

And there will stand up in his place one who will cause the exactor [of taxes] to pass through the glorious [land] of the kingdom; but within a few days will he be broken, but not 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 there will stand up in his place a despicable person, to whom they assigned not the honor of the kingdom; but he will come in quietly, and lay hold of the kingdom by flatteries.

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

And the powers of the overflow will be swept away from before him, and will be broken: yea, so also the prince in covenant [with him].

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

And from the time of his associating with him will he deal deceitfully; and he will come up, and obtain the victory with a small number of people.

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 quiet and into the fattest portion of the province will he enter; and he will do what his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers: the prey, and spoil, and riches will he divide freely to them, and against the strong-holds will he devise his plans, but only till a certain 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 will then stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army: and the king of the south will prepare himself for the war with an exceedingly great and mighty army; but he will not stand; for they will devise [evil] plans 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 will bring his downfall, and the army of the other will overflow; and many will 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 heart is bent on mischief, and at one table will they speak lies; but it shall not prosper; for the end is 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.

Then will he return into his land with great riches, and his heart will be against the holy covenant: and he will do it, 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 will he return, and enter into the south; but not as in the former will it be in the latter time.

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 there will come against him the ships of Kittim; and he will become faint-hearted, and return, and will rage against the holy covenant; and he will do it: and he will return, and have an understanding with those 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 the army divisions will proceed from him, and they will defile the sanctuary, the fortress, and remove the continual sacrifice, and they will set up the desolating abomination.

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

And such as act wickedly against the covenant will he corrupt by flatteries; but the people that do know their God will be strong, and deal [valiantly].

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

And the intelligent among the people will impart understanding to many: yet they will stumble through the sword, and through flame, through captivity, and through being plundered for some time.

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

But in their stumbling will they be aided with a little help: but many will join themselves to them with deceptive flatteries.

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 the intelligent will stumble, to make a purification among them, and to select and to cleanse them, until the time of the end; because 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 will do according to his pleasure; and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and against the God of gods will he speak incredible things, and he will prosper till the indignation be at an end; for that which is determined will be accomplished.

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.

And to the gods of his fathers will he pay no regard; and to the desire of women, or to any god whatever will he not pay any regard; for above all will he magnify himself.

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 he will pay honor to the god of the fortresses; and to a god whom his fathers knew not will he pay honor 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.

This will he do for the very strong fortresses together with the strange god: whoever will acknowledge him, him will he give much honor; and he will cause such to rule over many, and he will divide out 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 will the king of the south push against him; and the king of the north will come against him like a storm-wind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he will enter into some countries, and will overflow and press along.

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.

And he will enter into the glorious land, and much will be overthrown; but these will escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the first portion of the children of 'Ammon.

42 Extenderá también su mano contra otras tierras, y la tierra de Egipto no escapará.

And he will stretch forth his hand against some countries, and the land of Egypt will 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.

And he will have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the costly things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow at his steps.

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

But reports out of the east and out of the north will terrify him; and he will go forth with great fury to destroy, and to exterminate 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 will pitch the tents of his palace between seas and the glorious holy mountain; and he will come to his end, without one to help him.
