Daniel 11

1 Y en el año primero de Darío, el de Media, yo estuve para animarle, y fortalecerle.

And I in the first year of Darius the Mede had my station to assist and to protect him.

2 Y ahora yo te mostraré la verdad: He aquí que aun tres reyes estarán en Persia; y el cuarto se enriquecerá de grandes riquezas, más que todos; y fortificándose con sus riquezas, despertará 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 Y levantarse ha un rey valiente, el cual se enseñoreará sobre gran señorío, y hará a su voluntad.

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

4 Y cuando se hubiere enseñoreado, su reino será quebrantado, y será partido en los cuatro vientos del cielo, y no a su descendiente, ni según el señorío con que él se enseñoreó; porque su reino será arrancado, y para otros fuera de estos.

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 Y hacerse ha fuerte el rey del mediodía y de sus principados, y sobrepujarle ha, y apoderarse ha, y su señorío será grande señorío.

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 Mas al cabo de algunos años se concertarán, y la hija del rey del mediodía vendrá al rey del norte, para hacer los conciertos: Mas no tendrá fuerza de brazo, ni permanecerá él, ni su brazo. Porque ella será entregada, y los que la hubieron traído, y su padre, y los que estaban de su parte en aquellos días.

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 Mas del renuevo de sus raíces se levantará sobre su silla, y vendrá al ejército, y entrará en la fortaleza del rey del norte, y hará en ellos a su voluntad, y corroborarse ha.

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 Y aun los dioses de ellos, con sus príncipes, con sus vasos preciosos de plata y de oro, llevará cautivos a Egipto. Y 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 vendrá en el reino el rey del mediodía, 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 Mas sus hijos se airarán, y juntarán multitud de muchos ejércitos, y vendrá a gran priesa, e inundará, y pasará, y tornará, y llegará con ira hasta su 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 mediodía se enojará, y saldrá, y peleará con el mismo rey del norte; y pondrá en campo gran multitud, y 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 Por lo cual la multitud se ensoberbecerá, elevarse ha su corazón, y derribará muchos millares, y 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 Y volverá el rey del norte, y pondrá en campo mayor multitud que primero; y al cabo del tiempo de algunos años vendrá a gran priesa con grande ejército, y con muchas riquezas.

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 Mas en aquellos tiempos muchos se levantarán contra el rey del mediodía; e hijos de disipadores de tu pueblo se levantarán para confirmar la profecía, y caerán.

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 Y vendrá el rey del norte, y fundará baluartes, y tomará la ciudad fuerte, y los brazos del mediodía no podrán permanecer, ni su pueblo escogido, ni habrá fortaleza que pueda 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 Y el que vendrá contra él, hará a su voluntad, ni habrá quien se le pueda parar delante; y estará en la tierra deseable, la cual será consumida en 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 Y pondrá su rostro para venir con la potencia de todo su reino, y hará con él cosas rectas, y darle ha una hija de sus mujeres para trastornarla: mas no estará, ni será por él.

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 Volverá después su rostro a las islas, y tomará muchas; y un príncipe le hará parar su vergüenza, y aun volverá sobre él su vergüenza.

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 De aquí volverá su rostro a las fortalezas de su tierra; y tropezará, y caerá, y no parecerá más.

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 Mas sucedará en su silla quien quitará las exacciones, el cual será gloria del reino: mas en pocos días será quebrantado, no en enojo, 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 Y sucederá en su lugar un vil, al cual no darán la honra del reino: mas vendrá con paz, y tomará el reino con halagos.

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 Y los brazos serán inundados de inundación delante de él; y serán quebrantados, y aun también el capitán del concierto.

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 Y después de los conciertos con él, él hará engañó; y 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 Estando la provincia en paz, y en abundancia, entrará, y hará lo que nunca hicieron sus padres, ni los padres de sus padres: presa, y despojos, y riqueza repartirá a sus soldados; y contra las fortalezas pensará con sus pensamientos; y esto por 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 Y despertará sus fuerzas y su corazón contra el rey del mediodía con grande ejército; y el rey del mediodía será provocado a la guerra con grande ejército y muy fuerte: mas no prevalecerá, porque le harán traición.

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 Y los que comerán su pan, le quebrantarán; y su ejército será destruido, y caerán muchos 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 Y el corazón de estos dos reyes será para hacer se mal; y en una misma mesa tratarán mentira: mas no servirá de nada; porque el plazo aun no es llegado.

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 Y volverse ha a su tierra con grande riqueza; y su corazón será contra el santo concierto; y hará, y volverse ha 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 Al tiempo señalado tornará al mediodía: mas no será la postrera venida 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 vendrán contra él naves de Quitim; y él se contristará, y tornarse ha, y enojarse ha contra el santo concierto, y hará; y volverse ha, y pensará contra los que habrán desamparado el santo concierto.

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 Y serán puestos brazos de su parte, y contaminarán el santuario de fortaleza; y quitarán el continuo sacrificio, y pondrán la abominación espantosa.

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 Y con lisonjas hará pecar a los violadores del concierto: mas el pueblo que conoce a su Dios se esforzará, y hará.

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 Y los sabios del pueblo darán sabiduría a muchos; y morirán a cuchillo, a fuego, y cautividad, y saco, por algunos días.

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 Y en su caer serán ayudados de pequeño socorro; y muchos se juntarán con 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 Mas de los sabios caerán, para ser purgados, y limpiados, y emblanquecidos, hasta el tiempo determinado; porque aun para esto hay plazo.

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 Y el rey hará a su voluntad; y ensoberbecerse ha, y engrandecerse ha sobre todo dios; y contra el Dios de los dioses hablará maravillas, y será prosperado, hasta que la ira sea acabada; porque hecha está determinación.

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 Y del Dios de sus padres no hará caso, ni del amor de las mujeres: ni se cuidará de Dios alguno; porque sobre todo se engrandecerá.

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 Mas al dios Mauzim honrará en su lugar, dios que sus padres no conocieron: honrarle ha con oro, y plata, y piedras preciosas, y con cosas de gran precio.

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 Y con el dios ajeno que conocerá, hará castillos fuertes, ensanchará su gloria, y hacerlos ha señores 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 Mas al cabo del tiempo el rey del mediodía se acorneará con él, y el rey del norte levantará contra él tempestad, con carros, y gente de a caballo, y muchos navíos; y entrará por las tierras, e inundará, y pasará.

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 Y vendrá en la tierra deseable, y muchas provincias caerán: mas estas escaparán de su mano, Edom, y Moab, y lo primero de los hijos de Ammón.

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 Y extendará su mano a las 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 Y apoderarse ha de los tesoros de oro y plata, y de todas las cosas preciosas de Egipto, de Libia, y Etiopía por donde pasará.

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 Mas nuevas de oriente y del norte le espantarán; y saldrá con grande ira para destruir y matar 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 Y plantará las tiendas de su palacio entre los mares, en el monte deseable del santuario; y vendrá hasta su fin, y no tendrá quien le 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.
