11 Also I, in the shnat achat of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood to support and to strengthen him.
2 And now will I show thee the emes. Hinei, yet shloshah melachim will arise in Paras (Persia); and the fourth shall with osher gadol (great richness) be abundantly rich above all; and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Yavan (Greece).
3 And a melech gibbor shall arise, that shall rule with mimshal rav (great dominion), and do kirtzono (according to his will).
4 And when he shall arise, his malchut (kingdom) shall be broken, and shall be divided to the araba ruchot HaShomayim; and not to his posterity, nor according to his rule which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others apart from these [see Daniel 8:8].
5 And HaMelech HaNegev (the King of the South) shall be strong, and one of his sarim (princes), and he shall be strong above him, and will rule; a great rule is his rule.
6 And at the end of some shanim they shall join themselves together as allies; for the daughter of HaMelech HaNegev shall come unto the Melech HaTzafon (King of the North) to make an agreement; but she shall not retain the koach hazero’a; neither shall he stand, nor his zero’a, but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that fathered her, and he that strengthened her in those times.
7 But out of a netzer of her roots shall one stand up in his place, which shall come unto an army, and shall enter into the stronghold of HaMelech HaTzafon, and shall deal with them, and shall show strength;
8 And also their g-ds with their molten images and with their precious vessels of silver and gold he will bring into captivity to Mitzrayim; and he shall refrain some shanim from (attacking) HaMelech HaTzafon.
9 So he (HaMelech HaTzafon) shall come into his kingdom of HaMelech HaNegev and shall return into his own land.
10 But his banim shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces; and he shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through; then shall he return, and shall stir himself up, even to his fortress.
11 And HaMelech HaNegev shall be moved with rage, and shall go forth and fight with him, even with HaMelech HaTzafon; and he shall raise a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
12 And the multitude shall be carried away; his lev shall be lifted up; and he shall cause thousands to fall, but will not be strong.
13 For HaMelech HaTzafon shall again raise a multitude, greater than the former, and at the end of some shanim he will certainly come with a great army and with great substance;
14 And in those times many shall stand up against HaMelech HaNegev; also the sons of the transgressors of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall stumble.
15 So HaMelech HaTzafon shall come, and shall cast up an entrenchment, and shall take a fortified city; and the forces of the South shall not stand, even their choicest troops, and there is no power to stand.
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 Eretz HaTzevi (Beautiful Land), and destruction (shall be) in his hand.
17 He shall also set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and an agreement is with him; and he shall make it; and he shall give him the daughter of women to destroy it, but she shall not stand, neither be for him.
18 After he turns his face unto the isles, and shall take many, a magistrate shall cause his reproach to cease for him except that his reproach shall return to him.
19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and will not be found.
20 Then shall stand up in his place one who causes an exactor to pass through for the glory of the malchut, but within a few yamim he shall be broken, neither in anger, nor in battle.
21 And in his place shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the glory of the malchut but he shall come in unawares, and obtain the kingdom by intrigues.
22 And an overwhelming army will be swept away before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the Nagid Brit.
23 And after the league made with him he shall practice deceit, for he shall go up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter unawares even into the fattest of the provinces; and he shall do that which his avot have not done, nor his avot of his avot; he shall scatter among them the spoil and booty and possessions, yea, and he shall plan his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the Melech HaNegev with a great army; and HaMelech HaNegev shall be stirred up for battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise devices against him.
26 Yea, they that eat of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow, and many shall fall down slain.
27 And the hearts of both of these melachim shall be for evil, and they shall speak lies at one shulchan, 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 lev shall be against the Brit Kodesh; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come again to the South; but it shall not be as at the first so at the last.
30 For the ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be disheartened and shall return, and rage against the Brit Kodesh so shall he do; he shall even return, and will fix his attention upon those that forsake the Brit Kodesh.
31 And forces from him will stand, and they shall desecrate the Mikdash, the Citadel, and shall do away with HaTamid, and set up the Shikkutz MeShomem.
32 And such as do wickedly against the Brit shall he pervert in intrigue, but the people who know their G-d shall be strong and will do.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and through despoilment for many yamim.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help, but many shall cleave to them in intrigue.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall to try them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for a time appointed.
36 And HaMelech shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every g-d, and shall speak monstous things against the G-d of g-ds, and shall prosper till the wrath be accomplished; for that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the g-d of his avot, nor the desire of women, nor regard any g-d, for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his place shall he honor the g-d of fortresses, and a g-d whom his avot knew not shall he honor with zahav, and kesef, and with precious stones, and things desired.
39 Thus shall he do to the fortresses of the strongholds with the help of a foreign g-d, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall distribute the land for a price.
40 And at the time of the end shall HaMelech HaNegev butt against him, and HaMelech HaTzafon shall storm against him with chariots, and with parash, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the Eretz HaTzevi, and many will stumble, but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moav, and the chief of the bnei Ammon.
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries, and Eretz Mitzrayim shall not escape.
43 But he shall rule over the deposits of zahav and of kesef, and over all the desired things of Mitzrayim; and the Libyans and the Cushites shall be at his heels.
44 But reports out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go forth with cheimah gedolah (great fury) to destroy, and to annihilate many.
45 And he shall plant the tents of his pavilion between the sea and the Har Tzevi Kodesh (Beautiful Holy Mountain); yet he shall come to his end, and there is none to help him.

11 I medern Darejaves första regeringsår stod jag där för att stärka och skydda honom."
Söderlandets och Nordlandets kungar
2 "Nu skall jag tillkännage sanningen för dig. Ytterligare tre kungar skall uppstå i Persien, och den fjärde[a] skall bli rikare än någon av de andra, och när han har blivit som mäktigast genom sina rikedomar skall han sätta in all sin makt mot Javans rike.
3 Sedan skall en väldig kung uppstå och han skall härska med stor makt och göra vad han vill. 4 Men när han har kommit skall hans rike falla sönder och delas efter himlens fyra väderstreck.[b] Det skall inte tillfalla hans efterkommande eller förbli lika mäktigt som när han hade makten. Hans rike skall omstörtas och tillfalla andra än dem.
5 Kungen i Söderlandet skall bli mäktig. Och av hans furstar skall en vara mäktigare än han, och hans herravälde skall bli stort. 6 Efter några år skall de ingå förbund med varandra och dottern till Söderlandets kung skall komma till kungen i Nordlandet för att träffa en överenskommelse. Men hon skall inte kunna behålla den makt hon vinner och hans makt skall inte heller bestå. Hon skall offras tillsammans med dem som förde henne dit, både hennes far och den man som en tid gav henne makt.
7 Men en telning från hennes rötter skall stiga upp i hans ställe och dra upp mot nordlandskungens här och tränga in i hans fäste och göra med folket vad han vill och få överhanden. 8 Deras gudar och avgudabilder och deras dyrbara kärl, både av silver och guld, skall han också föra till Egypten. Sedan skall han under några år lämna nordlandskungen i fred. 9 Däremot skall denne tränga in i söderlandskungens rike, men han skall vända tillbaka till sitt land igen.
10 Hans söner skall rusta sig till strid och samla en väldig krigshär, som skall välla fram som en störtflod och tåga in. Den skall komma igen och striden skall föras ända fram till söderlandskungens befästningar. 11 Då skall kungen i Söderlandet bli förbittrad och dra ut och strida mot kungen i Nordlandet, som skall ställa upp en stor här, men den hären skall ges i den andres hand. 12 När hären är borta växer söderlandskungens övermod och han skall slå ner tiotusenden, men ändå inte få herraväldet. 13 Ty kungen i Nordlandet skall ställa upp en ny här, större än den förra, och efter en tid, om några år, skall han komma med en stor krigshär och stora förråd.
14 Vid samma tid skall många andra resa sig mot kungen i Söderlandet. Våldsmän av ditt eget folk skall göra uppror för att uppfylla profetian, men de kommer att falla. 15 Och kungen i Nordlandet skall komma och kasta upp vallar och inta en välbefäst stad, och Söderlandets stridskrafter skall inte kunna hålla stånd. Dess utvalda krigsfolk skall inte ha någon kraft att stå emot. 16 Nordlandets kung, som rycker emot honom, skall göra vad han vill, och ingen skall kunna stå emot honom. Han skall komma in i 'det härliga landet', och förstörelse skall ske genom hans hand. 17 Han skall komma med hela sitt rikes makt. Men han är villig till förlikning, och en sådan skall han åstadkomma. Han skall ge kungen av Söderlandet en av sina döttrar till hustru för att fördärva honom. Men detta skall inte lyckas och inte vara till hans fördel. 18 Därefter skall han vända sig mot öländerna och inta många, men en härförare skall göra slut på hans hånfullhet och låta det vända tillbaka över honom själv. 19 Då skall han vända tillbaka till sitt eget lands befästningar. Men han skall vackla och falla och sedan inte mer finnas till.
20 På hans plats skall en annan uppstå, en som låter en uppbördsman dra igenom det land som är hans rikes prydnad. Men efter några dagar skall han störtas, dock inte genom vrede eller i strid.
Den onde kungen i Nordlandet
21 I hans ställe skall en föraktlig man komma, en som man inte har givit kungavärdighet. Oväntat intar han riket genom list. 22 Och översvämmande härar skall svepas bort inför honom och krossas, likaså en förbundsfurste. 23 Ty från den stund han ingått förbund med honom kommer han att handla svekfullt. Han skall dra ut och få övermakten med endast lite folk. 24 Oväntat skall han komma in i landets bördigaste trakter och göra vad hans fäder och deras fäder inte kunnat göra. Byte och rov och gods skall han strö ut åt sitt folk och intill en viss tid gör han upp onda planer mot befästa platser.
25 Han skall uppbåda sin kraft och sitt mod mot kungen i Söderlandet och komma med en stor här, men kungen i Söderlandet skall också rusta sig till strid med en mycket stor och mäktig här. Han skall dock inte kunna hålla stånd på grund av de stämplingar som görs mot honom. 26 De som äter hans bröd skall störta honom. Hans här kommer att svepas bort och många skall bli slagna och falla. 27 Båda kungarna kommer att ha ont i sinnet. Där de sitter tillsammans vid samma bord talar de lögn, men det skall inte ha någon framgång, ty ännu dröjer slutet till den bestämda tiden. 28 Han skall vända tillbaka till sitt land med mycket gods, men hans hjärta kommer att vara emot det heliga förbundet. När han har genomfört sitt uppsåt skall han vända tillbaka till sitt land.
29 På bestämd tid skall han sedan på nytt dra ut mot Söderlandet, men denna senare gång skall det inte gå som den förra. 30 Ty skepp från Kittim skall komma emot honom, och han skall förlora modet. Då skall han vända tillbaka och rikta sin vrede mot det heliga förbundet och ge vreden fritt utlopp. Och när han har kommit hem, skall han lyssna till dem som har övergivit det heliga förbundet. 31 Härar från honom skall komma, och de skall orena helgedomen, tillflyktsorten, avskaffa det dagliga offret och ställa upp förödelsens styggelse. 32 Dem som har kränkt förbundet skall han med smickrande ord locka till avfall, men de av folket som känner sin Gud skall stå fasta och hålla ut. 33 De förståndiga bland folket skall ge många insikt, men ändå skall de under en tid falla genom svärd och eld, genom fångenskap och plundring. 34 Men när de faller skall de inte lämnas utan hjälp, och många skall då av falska motiv sluta sig till dem. 35 En del av de förståndiga skall falla, och de skall luttras så att de blir rena och fläckfria intill ändens tid. För ännu dröjer slutet till den bestämda tiden.
36 Kungen skall göra vad han vill och skall upphöja sig och förhäva sig över varje gud. Ja, mot gudars Gud skall han tala sådant att man måste förundra sig. Allt skall lyckas honom väl till dess att vredens tid är ute, ty det som har beslutats måste ske. 37 Han kommer inte att visa någon aktning för sina fäders gudar och inte heller för den som är kvinnors lust eller för någon annan gud, utan han skall upphöja sig över alla. 38 Men fästenas gud skall han i stället ära, en gud som hans fäder inte har känt skall han ära med guld och silver och ädla stenar och andra dyrbara ting. 39 Han skall göra vad han vill med starka befästningar med en främmande guds hjälp. De som erkänner honom skall han bevisa stor ära. Han skall låta dem härska över många, och han skall dela ut land åt dem till belöning.
40 Men vid ändens tid skall kungen i Söderlandet drabba samman med honom. Kungen i Nordlandet skall då storma fram mot denne med vagnar och ryttare och en stor flotta. Han skall rycka in i länderna och svämma över och dra igenom dem. 41 Han skall också dra in i 'det härliga landet', och många länder skall falla, men dessa skall undkomma hans hand: Edom och Moab och huvuddelen av Ammons avkomlingar. 42 Ja, han skall sträcka ut sin hand mot länderna. Egypten skall inte slippa undan. 43 Han skall erövra skatter av guld och silver och alla slags dyrbara ting i Egypten. Libyer och etiopier skall följa honom. 44 Då skall han få höra rykten från öster och norr som förskräcker honom, och han skall dra ut i stort raseri för att förstöra och förgöra många. 45 Sina palatstält skall han slå upp mellan havet och helgedomens härliga berg. Men han går mot sin undergång och ingen hjälper honom."

11 1 And in the first year of Darius(A) the Mede, I took my stand to support and protect him.)
The Kings of the South and the North
2 “Now then, I tell you the truth:(B) Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. 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.
