< دَانِيآل 11 >

«وَأَنَا فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُولَى لِدَارِيُّوسَ ٱلْمَادِيِّ وَقَفْتُ لِأُشَدِّدَهُ وَأُقَوِّيَهُ. ١ 1
And I in the first year of Cyrus stood to strengthen and confirm [him].
وَٱلْآنَ أُخْبِرُكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ. هُوَذَا ثَلَاثَةُ مُلُوكٍ أَيْضًا يَقُومُونَ فِي فَارِسَ، وَٱلرَّابِعُ يَسْتَغْنِي بِغِنًى أَوْفَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِهِمْ، وَحَسَبَ قُوَّتِهِ بِغِنَاهُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلْجَمِيعَ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةِ ٱلْيُونَانِ. ٢ 2
And now I will tell you the truth. Behold, there shall yet rise up three kings in Persia: and the fourth shall be very far richer than all: and after that he is master of his wealth, he shall rise up against all the kingdoms of the Greeks.
وَيَقُومُ مَلِكٌ جَبَّارٌ وَيَتَسَلَّطُ تَسَلُّطًا عَظِيمًا وَيَفْعَلُ حَسَبَ إِرَادَتِهِ. ٣ 3
An there shall rise up a mighty king, and he shall be lord of a great empire, and shall do according to his will.
وَكَقِيَامِهِ تَنْكَسِرُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ وَتَنْقَسِمُ إِلَى رِيَاحِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِ، وَلَا لِعَقِبِهِ وَلَا حَسَبَ سُلْطَانِهِ ٱلَّذِي تَسَلَّطَ بِهِ، لِأَنَّ مَمْلَكَتَهُ تَنْقَرِضُ وَتَكُونُ لِآخَرِينَ غَيْرِ أُولَئِكَ. ٤ 4
And when his kingdom shall stand up, it shall be broken, and shall be divided to the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled over: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, and [given] to others beside these.
وَيَتَقَوَّى مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. وَمِنْ رُؤَسَائِهِ مَنْ يَقْوَى عَلَيْهِ وَيَتَسَلَّطُ. تَسَلُّطٌ عَظِيمٌ تَسَلُّطُهُ. ٥ 5
And the king of the south shall be strong; and one of their princes shall prevail against him, and shall obtain a great dominion.
وَبَعْدَ سِنِينَ يَتَعَاهَدَانِ، وَبِنْتُ مَلِكِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ تَأْتِي إِلَى مَلِكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ لِإِجْرَاءِ ٱلِٱتِّفَاقِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَضْبِطُ ٱلذِّرَاعُ قُوَّةً، وَلَا يَقُومُ هُوَ وَلَا ذِرَاعُهُ. وَتُسَلَّمُ هِيَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَتَوْا بِهَا وَٱلَّذِي وَلَدَهَا وَمَنْ قَوَّاهَا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَوْقَاتِ. ٦ 6
And after his years they shall associate; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north, to make agreements with him: but she shall not retain power of arm; neither shall his seed stand: and she shall be delivered up, and they that brought her, and the maiden, and he that strengthened her in these times.
وَيَقُومُ مِنْ فَرْعِ أُصُولِهَا قَائِمٌ مَكَانَهُ، وَيَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ وَيَدْخُلُ حِصْنَ مَلِكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهِمْ وَيَقْوَى. ٧ 7
[But] out of the flower of her root there shall arise [one on] his place, and shall come against the host, and shall enter into the strongholds of the king of the north, and shall fight against them, and prevail.
وَيَسْبِي إِلَى مِصْرَ آلِهَتَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَ مَسْبُوكَاتِهِمْ وَآنِيَتِهِمِ ٱلثَّمِينَةِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، وَيَقْتَصِرُ سِنِينَ عَنْ مَلِكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ. ٨ 8
Yes, he shall carry with a body of captives into Egypt their gods with their molten [images, and] all their precious vessels of silver and gold; and he shall last longer than the king of the north.
فَيَدْخُلُ مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ. ٩ 9
And he shall enter into the kingdom of the king of the south, and shall return to his own land.
«وَبَنُوهُ يَتَهَيَّجُونَ فَيَجْمَعُونَ جُمْهُورَ جُيُوشٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، وَيَأْتِي آتٍ وَيَغْمُرُ وَيَطْمُو وَيَرْجِعُ وَيُحَارِبُ حَتَّى إِلَى حِصْنِهِ. ١٠ 10
And his sons shall gather a multitude amongst many: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through, and he shall rest, and collect his strength.
وَيَغْتَاظُ مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيُحَارِبُهُ أَيْ مَلِكَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَيُقِيمُ جُمْهُورًا عَظِيمًا فَيُسَلَّمُ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ فِي يَدِهِ. ١١ 11
And the king of the south shall be greatly enraged, and shall come forth, and shall war with the king of the north: and he shall raise a great multitude; but the multitude shall be delivered into his hand.
فَإِذَا رُفِعَ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ يَرِتْفِعُ قَلْبُهُ وَيَطْرَحُ رَبَوَاتٍ وَلَا يَعْتَزُّ. ١٢ 12
And he shall take the multitude, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down many thousands; but he shall not prevail.
فَيَرْجِعُ مَلِكُ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَيُقِيمُ جُمْهُورًا أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، وَيَأْتِي بَعْدَ حِينٍ، بَعْدَ سِنِينَ بِجَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ وَثَرْوَةٍ جَزِيلَةٍ. ١٣ 13
For the king of the north shall return, and bring a multitude greater than the former, and at the end of the times of years an invading army shall come with a great force, and with much substance.
وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَوْقَاتِ يَقُومُ كَثِيرُونَ عَلَى مَلِكِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَبَنُو ٱلْعُتَاةِ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ يَقُومُونَ لِإِثْبَاتِ ٱلرُّؤْيَا وَيَعْثُرُونَ. ١٤ 14
And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south; and the children of the spoilers of your people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; and they shall fail.
فَيَأْتِي مَلِكُ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَيُقِيمُ مِتْرَسَةً وَيَأْخُذُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ ٱلْحَصِينَةَ، فَلَا تَقُومُ أَمَامَهُ ذِرَاعَا ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَلَا قَوْمُهُ ٱلْمُنْتَخَبُ، وَلَا تَكُونُ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ لِلْمُقَاوَمَةِ. ١٥ 15
And the king of the north shall come in, and cast up a mound, and take strong cities: and the arms of the king of the south shall withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up, but there shall be no strength to stand.
وَٱلْآتِي عَلَيْهِ يَفْعَلُ كَإِرَادَتِهِ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقِفُ أَمَامَهُ، وَيَقُومُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْبَهِيَّةِ وَهِيَ بِٱلتَّمَامِ بِيَدِهِ. ١٦ 16
And he that comes in against him shall do according to his will, and there is no one to stand before him: and he shall stand in the land of beauty, and it shall be consumed by his hand.
وَيَجْعَلُ وَجْهَهُ لِيَدْخُلَ بِسُلْطَانِ كُلِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ، وَيَجْعَلُ مَعَهُ صُلْحًا، وَيُعْطِيهِ بِنْتَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ لِيُفْسِدَهَا، فَلَا تَثْبُتَ وَلَا تَكُونَ لَهُ. ١٧ 17
And he shall set his face to come in with the force of his whole kingdom, and shall cause everything to prosper with him: and he shall give him the daughter of women to corrupt her: but she shall not continue, neither be on his side.
وَيُحَوِّلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى ٱلْجَزَائِرِ وَيَأْخُذُ كَثِيرًا مِنْهَا، وَيُزِيلُ رَئِيسٌ تَعْيِيرَهُ فَضْلًا عَنْ رَدِّ تَعْيِيرِهِ عَلَيْهِ. ١٨ 18
And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many, and cause princes to cease from their reproach: nevertheless his own reproach shall return to him.
وَيُحَوِّلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى حُصُونِ أَرْضِهِ وَيَعْثُرُ وَيَسْقُطُ وَلَا يُوجَدُ. ١٩ 19
Then he shall turn back his face to the strength of his own land: but he shall become weak, and fall, and not be found.
«فَيَقُومُ مَكَانَهُ مَنْ يُعَبِّرُ جَابِيَ ٱلْجِزْيَةِ فِي فَخْرِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ، وَفِي أَيَّامٍ قَلِيلَةٍ يَنْكَسِرُ لَا بِغَضَبٍ وَلَا بِحَرْبٍ. ٢٠ 20
And there shall arise out of his root one that shall cause a plant of the kingdom to pass over his place, earning kingly glory: and yet in those days shall he be broken, yet not openly, nor in war.
فَيَقُومُ مَكَانَهُ مُحْتَقَرٌ لَمْ يَجْعَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَخْرَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ، وَيَأْتِي بَغْتَةً وَيُمْسِكُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ بِٱلتَّمَلُّقَاتِ. ٢١ 21
[One] shall stand on his place, [who] has been set a nothing, and they have not put upon him the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in prosperously, and obtain the kingdom by deceitful ways.
وَأَذْرُعُ ٱلْجَارِفِ تُجْرَفُ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِ وَتَنْكَسِرُ، وَكَذَلِكَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْعَهْدِ. ٢٢ 22
And the arms of him that overflows shall be washed away as with a flood from before him, and shall be broken, and [so shall be] the head of the covenant.
وَمِنَ ٱلْمُعَاهَدَةِ مَعَهُ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْمَكْرِ وَيَصْعَدُ وَيَعْظُمُ بِقَوْمٍ قَلِيلٍ. ٢٣ 23
And because of the leagues made with him he shall work deceit: and he shall come up, and overpower them with a small nation.
يَدْخُلُ بَغْتَةً عَلَى أَسْمَنِ ٱلْبِلَادِ وَيَفْعَلُ مَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ آبَاؤُهُ وَلَا آبَاءُ آبَائِهِ. يَبْذُرُ بَيْنَهُمْ نَهْبًا وَغَنِيمَةً وَغِنًى، وَيُفَكِّرُ أَفْكَارَهُ عَلَى ٱلْحُصُونِ، وَذَلِكَ إِلَى حِينٍ. ٢٤ 24
And he shall enter with prosperity, and [that] into fertile districts; and he shall do what his fathers and his fathers' fathers have not done; he shall scatter amongst them plunder, and spoils, and wealth; and he shall devise plans against Egypt, even for a time.
وَيُنْهِضُ قُوَّتَهُ وَقَلْبَهُ عَلَى مَلِكِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ بِجَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَمَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ يَتَهَيَّجُ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ بِجَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقَوِيٍّ جِدًّا، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَثْبُتُ لِأَنَّهُمْ يُدَبِّرُونَ عَلَيْهِ تَدَابِيرَ. ٢٥ 25
And his strength and his heart shall be stirred up against the king of the south with a great force; and the king of the south shall engage in war with a great and very strong force; but [his forces] shall not stand, for they shall devise plans against him:
وَٱلْآكِلُونَ أَطَايِبَهُ يَكْسِرُونَهُ، وَجَيْشُهُ يَطْمُو، وَيَسْقُطُ كَثِيرُونَ قَتْلَى. ٢٦ 26
and they shall eat his provisions, and shall crush him, and he shall carry away armies as with a flood, and many shall fall down slain.
وَهَذَانِ ٱلْمَلِكَانِ قَلْبُهُمَا لِفِعْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَيَتَكَلَّمَانِ بِٱلْكَذِبِ عَلَى مَائِدَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَلَا يَنْجَحُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلِٱنْتِهَاءَ بَعْدُ إِلَى مِيعَادٍ. ٢٧ 27
And [as for] both the kings, their hearts [are set] upon mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper; for yet the end is for a [fixed] time.
فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ بِغِنًى جَزِيلٍ وَقَلْبُهُ عَلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ، فَيَعْمَلُ وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ. ٢٨ 28
And he shall return to his land with much substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall perform [great deeds], and return to his own land.
«وَفِي ٱلْمِيعَادِ يَعُودُ وَيَدْخُلُ ٱلْجَنُوبَ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَكُونُ ٱلْآخِرُ كَٱلْأَوَّلِ. ٢٩ 29
At the [set] time he shall return, and shall come into the south, but the last [expedition] shall [not] be as the first.
فَتَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ سُفُنٌ مِنْ كِتِّيمَ فَيَيْئَسُ وَيَرْجِعُ وَيَغْتَاظُ عَلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ، وَيَعْمَلُ وَيَرْجِعُ وَيَصْغَى إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكُوا ٱلْعَهْدَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَ. ٣٠ 30
For the Citians issuing forth shall come against him, and he shall be brought low, and shall return, and shall be incensed against the holy covenant: and he shall do [thus], and shall return, and have intelligence with them that have forsaken the holy covenant.
وَتَقُومُ مِنْهُ أَذْرُعٌ وَتُنَجِّسُ ٱلْمَقْدِسَ ٱلْحَصِينَ، وَتَنْزِعُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةَ ٱلدَّائِمَةَ، وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلرِّجْسَ ٱلْمُخَرِّبَ. ٣١ 31
And seeds shall spring up out of him, and they shall profane the sanctuary of strength, and they shall remove the perpetual [sacrifice], and make the abomination desolate.
وَٱلْمُتَعَدُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ يُغْوِيهِمْ بِٱلتَّمَلُّقَاتِ. أَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ إِلَهَهُمْ فَيَقْوَوْنَ وَيَعْمَلُونَ. ٣٢ 32
And the transgressors shall bring about a covenant by deceitful ways: but a people knowing their God shall prevail, and do [valiantly].
وَٱلْفَاهِمُونَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ يُعَلِّمُونَ كَثِيرِينَ. وَيَعْثُرُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَبِاللَّهِيبِ وَبِالسَّبْيِ وَبِالنَّهْبِ أَيَّامًا. ٣٣ 33
And the intelligent of the people shall understand much: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, and by captivity, and by spoil of [many] days.
فَإِذَا عَثَرُوا يُعَانُونَ عَوْنًا قَلِيلًا، وَيَتَّصِلُ بِهِمْ كَثِيرُونَ بِٱلتَّمَلُّقَاتِ. ٣٤ 34
And when they are weak they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall attach themselves to them with treachery.
وَبَعْضُ ٱلْفَاهِمِينَ يَعْثُرُونَ ٱمْتِحَانًا لَهُمْ لِلتَّطْهِيرِ وَلِلتَّبْيِيضِ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. لِأَنَّهُ بَعْدُ إِلَى ٱلْمِيعَادِ. ٣٥ 35
And [some] of them that understand shall fall, to try them as with fire, and to test [them], and that they may be manifested at the time of the end, for the matter [is] yet for a [set] time.
«وَيَفْعَلُ ٱلْمَلِكُ كَإِرَادَتِهِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ وَيَتَعَظَّمُ عَلَى كُلِّ إِلَهٍ، وَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِأُمُورٍ عَجِيبَةٍ عَلَى إِلَهِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ، وَيَنْجَحُ إِلَى إِتْمَامِ ٱلْغَضَبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَقْضِيَّ بِهِ يُجْرَى. ٣٦ 36
And he shall do according to his will, and the king shall exalt and magnify himself against every god, and shall speak great swelling words, and shall prosper until the indignation shall be accomplished: for it is coming to an end.
وَلَا يُبَالِي بِآلِهَةِ آبَائِهِ وَلَا بِشَهْوَةِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ، وَبِكُلِّ إِلَهٍ لَا يُبَالِي لِأَنَّهُ يَتَعَظَّمُ عَلَى ٱلْكُلِّ. ٣٧ 37
And he shall not regard any gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, neither shall he regard any deity: for he shall magnify himself above all.
وَيُكْرِمُ إِلَهَ ٱلْحُصُونِ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَإِلَهًا لَمْ تَعْرِفْهُ آبَاؤُهُ، يُكْرِمُهُ بِٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَبِالْحِجَارَةِ ٱلْكَرِيمَةِ وَٱلنَّفَائِسِ. ٣٨ 38
And he shall honour the god of forces on his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not he shall honour with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and desirable things.
وَيَفْعَلُ فِي ٱلْحُصُونِ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ بِإِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ. مَنْ يَعْرِفُهُ يَزِيدُهُ مَجْدًا، وَيُسَلِّطُهُمْ عَلَى كَثِيرِينَ، وَيَقْسِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أُجْرَةً. ٣٩ 39
And he shall do [thus] in the strong places of refuge with a strange god, and shall increase his glory: and he shall subject many to them, and shall distribute the land in gifts.
«فَفِي وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ يُحَارِبُهُ مَلِكُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، فَيَثُورُ عَلَيْهِ مَلِكُ ٱلشِّمَالِ بِمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَبِفُرْسَانٍ وَبِسُفُنٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَيَدْخُلُ ٱلْأَرَاضِيَ وَيَجْرُفُ وَيَطْمُو. ٤٠ 40
And at the end of the time he shall conflict with the king of the south: and the king of the north shall come against him with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and they shall enter into the land: and he shall break in pieces, and pass on:
وَيَدْخُلُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْبَهِيَّةِ فَيُعْثَرُ كَثِيرُونَ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ يُفْلِتُونَ مِنْ يَدِهِ: أَدُومُ وَمُوآبُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. ٤١ 41
and he shall enter into the land of beauty, and many shall fail: but these shall escape out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
وَيَمُدُّ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَأَرْضُ مِصْرَ لَا تَنْجُو. ٤٢ 42
And he shall stretch forth [his] hand over the land; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
وَيَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى كُنُوزِ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ نَفَائِسِ مِصْرَ. وَٱللُّوبِيُّونَ وَٱلْكُوشِيُّونَ عِنْدَ خُطُوَاتِهِ. ٤٣ 43
And he shall have the mastery over the secret [treasures] of gold and silver, and over all the desirable [possessions] of Egypt, and of the Libyans and Ethiopians in their strongholds.
وَتُفْزِعُهُ أَخْبَارٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّرْقِ وَمِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، فَيَخْرُجُ بِغَضَبٍ عَظِيمٍ لِيُخْرِبَ وَلِيُحَرِّمَ كَثِيرِينَ. ٤٤ 44
But rumours and anxieties out of the east and from the north shall trouble him; and he shall come with great wrath to destroy many.
وَيَنْصُبُ فُسْطَاطَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْبُحُورِ وَجَبَلِ بَهَاءِ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَيَبْلُغُ نِهَايَتَهُ وَلَا مُعِينَ لَهُ. ٤٥ 45
And he shall pitch the tabernacle of his palace between the seas in the holy mountain of beauty: [but] he shall come to his portion, and there is none to deliver him.
