但以理书 11
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)

预言波斯王将攻希腊

11 又说：“当玛代王大流士元年，我曾起来扶助米迦勒，使他坚强。

2 “现在我将真事指示你，波斯还有三王兴起，第四王必富足远胜诸王。他因富足成为强盛，就必激动大众攻击希腊国。 3 必有一个勇敢的王兴起，执掌大权，随意而行。 4 他兴起的时候，他的国必破裂，向天的四方[a]分开，却不归他的后裔，治国的权势也都不及他，因为他的国必被拔出，归于他后裔之外的人。

南王北王时争时和

5 “南方的王必强盛，他将帅中必有一个比他更强盛，执掌权柄，他的权柄甚大。 6 过些年后，他们必互相联合，南方王的女儿必就了北方王来立约。但这女子帮助之力存立不住，王和他所倚靠之力也不能存立。这女子和引导她来的，并生她的，以及当时扶助她的，都必交于死地。

7 “但这女子的本家[b]必另生一子[c]继续王位，他必率领军队进入北方王的保障，攻击他们，而且得胜， 8 并将他们的神像和铸成的偶像，与金银的宝器掠到埃及去。数年之内，他不去攻击北方的王。 9 北方的王[d]必入南方王的国，却要仍回本地。

10 “北方王[e]的二子必动干戈，招聚许多军兵。这军兵前去，如洪水泛滥，又必再去争战，直到南方王的保障。 11 南方王必发烈怒，出来与北方王争战，摆列大军，北方王的军兵必交付他手。 12 他的众军高傲，他的心也必自高，他虽使数万人仆倒，却不得常胜。 13 北方王必回来摆列大军，比先前的更多。满了所定的年数，他必率领大军，带极多的军装来。 14 那时必有许多人起来攻击南方王，并且你本国的强暴人必兴起，要应验那异象，他们却要败亡。 15 北方王必来筑垒攻取坚固城，南方的军兵必站立不住，就是选择的精兵[f]也无力站住。 16 来攻击他的必任意而行，无人在北方王[g]面前站立得住。他必站在那荣美之地，用手施行毁灭。 17 他必定意用全国之力而来，立公正的约，照约而行，将自己的女儿给南方王为妻，想要败坏他[h]，这计却不得成就，与自己毫无益处。 18 其后他必转回，夺取了许多海岛。但有一大帅，除掉他令人受的羞辱，并且使这羞辱归他本身。 19 他就必转向本地的保障，却要绊跌仆倒，归于无有。

20 “那时，必有一人兴起接续他为王，使横征暴敛的人通行国中的荣美地。这王不多日就必灭亡，却不因愤怒，也不因争战。 21 必有一个卑鄙的人兴起接续为王，人未曾将国的尊荣给他，他却趁人坦然无备的时候，用谄媚的话得国。 22 必有无数的军兵势如洪水，在他面前冲没败坏，同盟的君也必如此。 23 与那君结盟之后，他必行诡诈，因为他必上来以微小的军[i]成为强盛。 24 趁人坦然无备的时候，他必来到国中极肥美之地，行他列祖和他列祖之祖所未曾行的，将掳物、掠物和财宝散给众人，又要设计攻打保障，然而这都是暂时的。 25 他必奋勇向前，率领大军攻击南方王。南方王也必以极大极强的军兵与他争战，却站立不住，因为有人设计谋害南方王。 26 吃王膳的必败坏他，他的军队必被冲没，而且被杀的甚多。 27 至于这二王，他们心怀恶计，同席说谎，计谋却不成就，因为到了定期，事就了结。

北王废弃圣约污亵圣地

28 “北方王[j]必带许多财宝回往本国，他的心反对圣约，任意而行，回到本地。 29 到了定期，他必返回，来到南方，后一次却不如前一次。 30 因为基提战船必来攻击他，他就丧胆而回，又要恼恨圣约，任意而行。他必回来联络背弃圣约的人。 31 他必兴兵，这兵必亵渎圣地，就是保障，除掉常献的燔祭，设立那行毁坏可憎的。 32 作恶违背圣约的人，他必用巧言勾引；唯独认识神的子民，必刚强行事。 33 民间的智慧人必训诲多人，然而他们多日必倒在刀下，或被火烧，或被掳掠抢夺。 34 他们仆倒的时候，稍得扶助，却有许多人用谄媚的话亲近他们。 35 智慧人中有些仆倒的，为要熬炼其余的人，使他们清净洁白，直到末了，因为到了定期，事就了结。

36 “王必任意而行，自高自大，超过所有的神，又用奇异的话攻击万神之神。他必行事亨通，直到主的愤怒完毕，因为所定的事必然成就。 37 他必不顾他列祖的神，也不顾妇女所羡慕的神，无论何神他都不顾，因为他必自大，高过一切。 38 他倒要敬拜保障的神，用金银、宝石和可爱之物敬奉他列祖所不认识的神。 39 他必靠外邦神的帮助，攻破最坚固的保障。凡承认他的，他必将荣耀加给他们，使他们管辖许多人，又为贿赂分地于他们。

40 “到末了，南方王要与他交战。北方王必用战车、马兵和许多战船，势如暴风来攻击他，也必进入列国，如洪水泛滥。 41 又必进入那荣美之地，有许多国就被倾覆，但以东人、摩押人和一大半亚扪人必脱离他的手。 42 他必伸手攻击列国，埃及地也不得脱离。 43 他必把持埃及的金银财宝和各样的宝物，吕彼亚人和古实人都必跟从他。 44 但从东方和北方必有消息扰乱他，他就大发烈怒出去，要将多人杀灭净尽。 45 他必在海和荣美的圣山中间，设立他如宫殿的帐幕，然而到了他的结局，必无人能帮助他。

Traducción en lenguaje actual

Guerras entre norte y sur

11 Y aquel personaje siguió diciendo:

«Durante el primer año del reinado de Darío en Media, yo le brindé mi ayuda y mi apoyo. 2 Y es que Persia todavía tendrá tres reyes. Después vendrá un cuarto rey, que será más rico que los tres anteriores. Será tan rico y poderoso que atacará al reino de Grecia.

3 »Después vendrá un rey muy valiente, que gobernará un gran imperio y hará lo que se le antoje. 4 Cuando su reino ya esté bien establecido, será destruido y se dividirá en cuatro partes. Este rey no les dejará el poder a sus hijos, ni será tan poderoso como antes fue, porque su reino estará dividido y en su lugar gobernarán otros reyes.

5 »El rey del sur será muy poderoso, pero uno de los jefes de su ejército le ganará en poder y controlará a muchas naciones y pueblos. 6 Después de algunos años, el rey del norte y el rey del sur unirán sus fuerzas. Para que haya paz entre ellos, el rey del norte se casará con la hija del rey del sur. Sin embargo, este plan no tendrá éxito porque matarán a la hija y a su esposo, junto con su hijo y sus criados.

7 »Un miembro de la familia del rey del sur peleará contra el ejército del rey del norte, y lo vencerá; luego ocupará el castillo del rey, y con su ejército lo controlará todo. 8 Se llevará a Egipto sus dioses de metal, y otros objetos de oro y plata. De este modo, durante algún tiempo no habrá guerra entre estos dos reinos.

9 »Tiempo después, el rey del norte tratará de conquistar al reino del sur, pero tendrá que regresar a su tierra. 10 Entonces los hijos del rey del norte se enojarán y reunirán un gran ejército para luchar contra el rey del sur. Y lo atacarán, y llegarán hasta el castillo de ese rey. A su paso lo destruirán todo, como si fueran un río desbordado.

11 »Ante este ataque, el rey del sur se enojará mucho. Entonces saldrá a luchar contra el ejército del rey del norte, y lo derrotará por completo. 12 Esta victoria hará que el rey del sur se vuelva muy orgulloso. Pero su orgullo no le durará mucho tiempo, 13 porque el rey del norte organizará otro ejército, más grande y mejor preparado que el primero, y después de algunos años volverá a atacar al rey del sur y lo vencerá.

14 »En ese tiempo, muchos se unirán al rey del norte para pelear contra el rey del sur. Tal y como lo viste en tu sueño, entre ellos habrá algunos israelitas malvados; pero no les irá bien, pues serán derrotados. 15 El rey del norte construirá una rampa alrededor de una ciudad amurallada, y subirá a sus muros y la conquistará. ¡Ni los soldados más valientes del sur podrán detener al ejército enemigo! 16 El rey conquistador hará lo que quiera, y nadie se atreverá a hacerle frente. Destruirá todo lo que encuentre a su paso, y se quedará en la tierra más hermosa.

17 »El rey del norte tratará de vencer por completo al rey del sur. Para quedarse con su reino, firmará la paz y dejará que su hija se case con él. Pero su plan no tendrá éxito. 18 Entonces atacará las ciudades que están a la orilla del mar, y a muchas de ellas las conquistará. Pero un jefe del ejército terminará con esto, y pondrá en vergüenza al rey del norte. 19 Así el rey del norte volverá a sus castillos, pero un accidente le causará la muerte, y nadie más volverá a hablar de él.

20 »Su lugar lo ocupará otro rey, que para hacerse rico enviará uno de sus criados a cobrar impuestos. Pero pocos días después morirá, aunque no en la guerra.

21 »Después de ese rey vendrá un malvado, que no merecerá ser rey, pero que llegará a serlo por medio de engaños, y sin que nadie se dé cuenta de sus intenciones. 22 Ese malvado derrotará por completo a los ejércitos enemigos, y también al príncipe con quien hizo un tratado. 23 Engañará también a sus amigos, y a pesar de no tener un gran ejército logrará sus propósitos.

24 »Ese malvado tomará por sorpresa las tierras más ricas del lugar, y hará lo que no hicieron sus padres ni sus abuelos: repartirá entre sus soldados las riquezas que hayan ganado en la guerra, y hará planes para conquistar a las ciudades más protegidas. Pero esto no durará mucho tiempo. 25 Sin embargo, se sentirá tan poderoso que, con su gran ejército, atacará al rey del sur.

»Pero el rey del sur se le enfrentará valientemente, apoyado por su ejército grande y poderoso. Sin embargo, este rey será traicionado y no podrá resistir los ataques de sus enemigos. 26 Sus propios amigos, a quienes invitaba a comer en su propia mesa, serán la causa de su desgracia. Y así, su ejército perderá la guerra, y muchos de sus soldados perderán la vida.

27 »Estos dos reyes se sentarán a comer en la misma mesa, pero sólo pensarán en hacerse daño. Se engañarán el uno al otro, pero ninguno de los dos logrará su propósito, porque todavía no será el tiempo adecuado. 28 Después de llevar a cabo sus planes, el rey del norte regresará a su país, llevándose todo lo que ganó en la guerra.

»Pasado el tiempo, el rey del norte no cumplirá con el tratado de paz que hizo. 29 Al contrario, en el momento preciso volverá a luchar contra el rey del sur, sólo que esta vez no triunfará. 30 Vendrá en barcos un ejército del oeste, y lo atacará. Esto le dará tanto miedo que lo hará huir. Entonces les hará caso a quienes, por estar a su servicio, no cumplieron con el tratado de paz. Será tanto su odio que hará cosas terribles en contra de ese tratado.

31 »Sus soldados no respetarán el templo ni la ciudad amurallada. No permitirán que se presente la ofrenda de todos los días, y en su lugar ofrecerán algo asqueroso. 32 El rey tratará de ganarse la simpatía de los que no cumplieron con el tratado de paz, pero los que aman a su Dios se mantendrán firmes y no le harán caso.

33-35 »Los maestros del pueblo enseñarán a mucha gente a mantenerse fieles a Dios, aunque serán perseguidos. A unos los matarán, a otros los quemarán, y a otros les robarán todas sus pertenencias. Muchos de ellos serán llevados como esclavos a otros países. Mientras esto suceda, no les faltará un poco de ayuda, aunque muchos se unirán a ellos sólo por conveniencia. Todo esto sucederá como preparación, para que puedan resistir mejor otras pruebas. Pero esto durará sólo un poco de tiempo, hasta que llegue el momento final señalado por Dios.

36-37 »El rey del norte hará todo lo que quiera. Será tanto su orgullo que se creerá superior a todos los dioses. Hasta llegará a ofender gravemente al verdadero Dios. Y todo le saldrá bien, pero sólo hasta que Dios lo castigue, porque lo que Dios tiene que hacer lo hace.

38 »Este rey adorará al dios de las ciudades amuralladas, dios al que ni sus padres ni sus abuelos adoraron, y hasta le ofrecerá oro, plata, piedras preciosas y objetos de mucho valor. 39 Para defender las ciudades conquistadas, pedirá el apoyo de un ejército que adora a otros dioses. Y a todos los que le rindan honores, los recompensará con puestos muy importantes y con grandes territorios.

40 »Cuando llegue el momento final, el rey del sur atacará al rey del norte, pero éste responderá a los ataques. Saldrá al frente de carros de guerra, y de todo un ejército montado a caballo, y apoyado por muchos barcos. ¡Caerá sobre todo el país, con la fuerza de una tormenta! 41 También invadirá la tierra más hermosa, y matará a muchísimas personas; sin embargo, no les pasará nada a los que viven en Edom y Moab, ni a la mayoría de los que viven en Amón.

42 »El ejército del rey del norte conquistará varios países, y ni siquiera Egipto se escapará. 43 El rey se llevará todos los tesoros de Egipto: el oro, la plata y todas sus riquezas. Después de eso, conquistará Libia y Etiopía.

44 »Pero le llegarán noticias del este y del norte, que le darán mucho miedo. Se enojará tanto que querrá matar a muchos. 45 Entonces pondrá su campamento entre el mar y la montaña de Dios, que está en la tierra más hermosa. Allí le llegará la hora de su muerte, y nadie podrá ayudarlo.

Daniel 11
Common English Bible

A vast empire divided

11 “In the first year of Darius the Mede’s rule, I took my stand to strengthen and protect him.” 2 I will now tell you the truth. Persia will have three more kings, but the fourth will be richer than all of them. Once he has become strong through his great riches, he will disturb everyone, including the Greek kingdom. 3 Then a warrior-king will come forward, ruling over a vast empire and doing whatever he wants. 4 But even as he takes control, his kingdom will be broken, divided to the four winds of heaven. It won’t pass to his descendants. No one will rule like he did because his kingdom will be uprooted. It will belong to others, not to these.

South and north

5 “Then the southern king will gain power, but one of his princes will overpower him, ruling in his place. His empire will be vast. 6 After some years, they will make an agreement together. The southern king’s daughter will go to the northern king to finalize the agreement, but she won’t retain her great power. Neither will his power remain in place. In those times she will be handed over, along with her escort, the one who fathered her, and the one who strengthened her.[a]

7 “A branch from her roots will rise up in his place. Attacking the army, he will enter the walled fortress of the northern king. He will fight with them, and he will conquer. 8 He will even carry off their gods to Egypt, along with their statues and their silver and gold equipment. For years he will avoid the northern king. 9 Then the northern king will attack the kingdom of the southern king, but will return to his own land. 10 His sons will get ready for war, gathering massive forces. Their attack will be like an overwhelming flood. And they will attack again, taking the battle as far as his walled fortress.

11 “The southern king, in a bitter rage, will come out to battle the northern king. He will muster a huge army, but the army will be handed over to his enemy. 12 When the army is carried off, he will become confident. He will kill tens of thousands, but he will not stand strong. 13 The northern king will then muster another army—this one bigger than the first. After some years have passed, he will attack with a large and well-equipped army. 14 In those times, many will oppose the southern king. Violent persons from among your people also will rise up to support the vision, but they will fail.

15 “When the northern king attacks, he will throw up a siege ramp and occupy a walled city. The southern forces will not be able to resist—not even its elite forces. No one will be strong enough to resist. 16 The one who comes to attack will do whatever he wants; no one will be able to oppose him. He will take his place in the beautiful country, and he will hand out destruction. 17 He will decide to occupy his entire kingdom by force. He will make an agreement with him and will give him a wife, intending to destroy him,[b] but it won’t succeed and it won’t happen.[c] 18 He will turn his face to the coastlands, capturing many people. A commander will put an end to his disgrace,[d] even though he won’t repay that disgrace. 19 Then he will turn his attention to the walled fortresses of his own country but will stumble, fall, and disappear.

20 “In his place one will arise who will send his agent to exact a kingdom’s glory, but in a few days he will be broken, though not by anger and not by war. 21 A worthless person will arise in his place. Royal majesty will not have been given to him, but he will come in a time of security and seize the kingdom by deceitful means. 22 Forces will be completely swept away and broken before him. The same is true for the leader of the covenant. 23 From the moment they make an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully. He will gain power at the expense of a small nation. 24 He will come into a province’s richest places untroubled and will do what his fathers and grandfathers never could. He will hand out plunder, spoil, and wealth to them. He will make plans against fortresses, but only for a time.

25 “Then with a large army he will gather his strength and courage against the southern king. The southern king, with a large and super powerful army, will prepare for war, but he won’t endure because they will make plans against him. 26 Those who eat the king’s provisions will destroy him. His army will be overrun. Many will die.

27 “These two kings, with their minds set on evil, will sit at one table, telling lies, but with no success because the end will come at the set time. 28 He will return to his country with great wealth and set his mind against a holy covenant. He will do what he wants and then return to his country. 29 At the set time he will again battle against the south, but the second time will be different from the first. 30 Kittim ships will fight against him, and he will retreat in fear. He will rage against a holy covenant and will do what he wants. Then he will pay special attention to those who violate a holy covenant. 31 His forces will come and make the sanctuary fortress impure. They will stop the daily sacrifice and set up a desolating monstrosity. 32 By deceitful means he will corrupt those who violate a covenant, but the people who acknowledge their God will stand strong and will act.

33 “The people’s teachers will help many understand, but for a time they will fall by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder. 34 When they fall, they will receive a little help, but many will join them with deceitful plans. 35 Some of the teachers too will fall in order that they might be refined, purified, and cleansed—until an end time, because it is still not yet the set time.

An end to the arrogant king

36 “The king will do whatever he wants. He will exalt himself, making himself greater than any god. He will say unbelievable things against the God of gods. He will succeed until the doom is completed, because what is decreed must take place. 37 He will give no thought to the gods of his fathers, nor to the god cherished by women. He will give no thought to any god, because he will make himself greater than all of them. 38 In their place, he will worship a god of walled fortresses. With gold and silver, rare stones and precious things, he will worship a god his fathers did not acknowledge. 39 He will deal with walled fortresses with the help of a foreign god. He will heap rewards on those who support him, making them rule over many and dividing up the land for a price. 40 At the end time, the southern king will attack him. The northern king will storm against him with chariots and horses and many ships. He will invade countries, sweeping over them like a flood. 41 He will invade the beautiful country, and tens of thousands will die. But Edom, Moab, and the best of the Ammonites will escape from his hand. 42 He will extend his power into other countries. Even Egypt won’t escape. 43 He will take control of Egypt’s hidden treasures of gold, silver, and all its precious things. Libyans and Cushites will follow at his feet. 44 But reports from the east and north will alarm him, and in a great rage he will set off to devastate and destroy many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. But he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

Daniel 11
King James Version

11 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.

2 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 by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.

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

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

5 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 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the 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 these times.

7 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:

8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.

9 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.

10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.

11 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 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.

13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.

14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.

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

16 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, which by his hand shall be consumed.

17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.

18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.

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

20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

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

23 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 He shall enter peaceably 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 the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

25 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 be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.

26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.

27 And both of these kings' 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 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.

29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.

30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.

31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

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

33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

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

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

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

39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

40 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 and pass over.

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

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

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

45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

When he has gained power by his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.(C) 3 Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great power and do as he pleases.(D) 4 After he has arisen, his empire will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven.(E) It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the power he exercised, because his empire will be uprooted(F) and given to others.

5 “The king of the South will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he and will rule his own kingdom with great power. 6 After some years, they will become allies. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an alliance, but she will not retain her power, and he and his power[a] will not last. In those days she will be betrayed, together with her royal escort and her father[b] and the one who supported her.

7 “One from her family line will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces of the king of the North(G) and enter his fortress; he will fight against them and be victorious. 8 He will also seize their gods,(H) their metal images and their valuable articles of silver and gold and carry them off to Egypt.(I) For some years he will leave the king of the North alone. 9 Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will retreat to his own country. 10 His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army, which will sweep on like an irresistible flood(J) and carry the battle as far as his fortress.

11 “Then the king of the South will march out in a rage and fight against the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be defeated.(K) 12 When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be filled with pride and will slaughter many thousands, yet he will not remain triumphant. 13 For the king of the North will muster another army, larger than the first; and after several years, he will advance with a huge army fully equipped.

14 “In those times many will rise against the king of the South. Those who are violent among your own people will rebel in fulfillment of the vision, but without success. 15 Then the king of the North will come and build up siege ramps(L) and will capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will be powerless to resist; even their best troops will not have the strength to stand. 16 The invader will do as he pleases;(M) no one will be able to stand against him.(N) He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land and will have the power to destroy it.(O) 17 He will determine to come with the might of his entire kingdom and will make an alliance with the king of the South. And he will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plans[c] will not succeed(P) or help him. 18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands(Q) and will take many of them, but a commander will put an end to his insolence and will turn his insolence back on him.(R) 19 After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own country but will stumble and fall,(S) to be seen no more.(T)

20 “His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain the royal splendor.(U) In a few years, however, he will be destroyed, yet not in anger or in battle.

21 “He will be succeeded by a contemptible(V) person who has not been given the honor of royalty.(W) He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue. 22 Then an overwhelming army will be swept away(X) before him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed.(Y) 23 After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully,(Z) and with only a few people he will rise to power. 24 When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers.(AA) He will plot the overthrow of fortresses—but only for a time.

25 “With a large army he will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South. The king of the South will wage war with a large and very powerful army, but he will not be able to stand because of the plots devised against him. 26 Those who eat from the king’s provisions will try to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall in battle. 27 The two kings, with their hearts bent on evil,(AB) will sit at the same table and lie(AC) to each other, but to no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time.(AD) 28 The king of the North will return to his own country with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant. He will take action against it and then return to his own country.

29 “At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time the outcome will be different from what it was before. 30 Ships of the western coastlands(AE) will oppose him, and he will lose heart.(AF) Then he will turn back and vent his fury(AG) against the holy covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.

31 “His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice.(AH) Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.(AI) 32 With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist(AJ) him.

33 “Those who are wise will instruct(AK) many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered.(AL) 34 When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere(AM) will join them. 35 Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined,(AN) purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

The King Who Exalts Himself

36 “The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself(AO) above every god and will say unheard-of things(AP) against the God of gods.(AQ) He will be successful until the time of wrath(AR) is completed, for what has been determined must take place.(AS) 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.[d]

40 “At the time of the end the king of the South(AT) will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm(AU) out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood.(AV) 41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land.(AW) Many countries will fall, but Edom,(AX) Moab(AY) and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. 42 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. 43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt,(AZ) with the Libyans(BA) and Cushites[e] in submission. 44 But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at[f] the beautiful holy mountain.(BB) Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
