但以理书 11

1 又说：“当米底亚王大流士元年，我曾起来扶助米迦勒，使他坚强。”

And I in the first year of Cyrus stood to strengthen and confirm [him].

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。

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.

3 必有一个勇敢的王兴起，执掌大权，随意而行。

An there shall rise up a mighty king, and he shall be lord of a great empire, and shall do according to his will.

4 他兴起的时候，他的国必破裂，向天的四方分开，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，归与他后裔之外的人。

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.

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。

And the king of the south shall be strong; and one of their princes shall prevail against him, and shall obtain a great dominion.

6 过些年后，他们必互相连合，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，都必交与死地。

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.

7 但这女子的本家必另生一子继续王位，他必率领军队进入北方王的保障，攻击他们，而且得胜；

[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.

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。

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.

9 北方的王必入南方王的国，却要仍回本地。

And he shall enter into the kingdom of the king of the south, and shall return to his own land.

10 “北方王的二子必动干戈，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。

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.

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。

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.

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。

And he shall take the multitude, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down many thousands; but he shall not prevail.

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。

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.

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。

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.

15 北方王必来筑垒攻取坚固城；南方的军兵必站立不住，就是选择的精兵也无力站住。

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.

16 来攻击他的，必任意而行，无人在北方王面前站立得住。他必站在那荣美之地，用手施行毁灭。

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.

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，这计却不得成就，与自己毫无益处。

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.

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。

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.

19 他就必转向本地的保障，却要绊跌仆倒，归于无有。

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.

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，却不因忿怒，也不因争战。”

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.

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。

[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.

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。

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.

23 与那君结盟之后，他必行诡诈，因为他必上来以微小的军成为强盛。

And because of the leagues made with him he shall work deceit: and he shall come up, and overpower them with a small nation.

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。

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.

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。

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:

26 吃王膳的，必败坏他；他的军队必被冲没，而且被杀的甚多。

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.

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。

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.

28 北方王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。

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.

29 “到了定期，他必返回，来到南方。后一次却不如前一次，

At the [set] time he shall return, and shall come into the south, but the last [expedition] shall [not] be as the first.

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。

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.

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。

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.

32 作恶违背圣约的人，他必用巧言勾引；惟独认识 神的子民必刚强行事。

And the transgressors shall bring about a covenant by deceitful ways: but a people knowing their God shall prevail, and do [valiantly].

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。

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.

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。

And when they are weak they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall attach themselves to them with treachery.

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。

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.

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，直到主的忿怒完毕，因为所定的事必然成就。

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.

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。

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.

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。

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.

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，又为贿赂分地与他们。

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.

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。

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:

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。

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.

42 他必伸手攻击列国；埃及地也不得脱离。

And he shall stretch forth [his] hand over the land; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

43 他必把持埃及的金银财宝和各样的宝物。利比亚人和古实人都必跟从他。

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.

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。

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.

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。”

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.
