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。”
“As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen 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。
“Now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings will stand up in Persia. The fourth will be far richer than all of them. When he has grown strong through his riches, he will stir up all against the realm of Greece.
3 必有一个勇敢的王兴起，执掌大权，随意而行。
A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and 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。
When he stands up, his kingdom will be broken and will be divided toward the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be plucked up, even for others besides 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。
“The king of the south will be strong. One of his princes will become stronger than him, and have dominion. His dominion will be 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。
At the end of years they will join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement, but she will not retain the strength of her arm. He will also not stand, nor will his arm; but she will be given up, with those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened her in those 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 a shoot from her roots one will stand up in his place, who will come to the army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and will deal against them and will 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。
He will also carry their gods with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, captive into Egypt. He will refrain some years from the king of the north.
9 北方的王必入南方王的国，却要仍回本地。
He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will return into 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。
His sons will wage war, and will assemble a multitude of great forces which will come on, and overflow, and pass through. They will return and wage war, even to his fortress.
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。
“The king of the south will be moved with anger and will come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north. He will send out a great multitude, and the multitude will be given 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。
The multitude will be carried off, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he won’t 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。
The king of the north will return, and will send out a multitude greater than the former. He will come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with abundant supplies.
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。
“In those times many will stand up against the king of the south. Also the children of the violent among your people will lift themselves up to establish the vision, but they will fall.
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。
So the king of the north will come and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. The forces of the south won’t stand, neither will his select troops, neither will there be any 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。
But he who comes against him will do according to his own will, and no one will stand before him. He will stand in the glorious land, and destruction will be in 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。
He will set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions. He will perform them. He will give him the daughter of women, to destroy the kingdom, but she will not stand, and won’t be for him.
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。
After this he will turn his face to the islands, and will take many, but a prince will cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yes, moreover, he will cause his reproach to turn on him.
19 他就必转向本地的保障，却要绊跌仆倒，归于无有。
Then he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and won’t 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。”
“Then one who will cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory will stand up in his place; but within few days he shall be destroyed, not in anger, and not in battle.
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。
“In his place a contemptible person will stand up, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom; but he will come in time of security, and will obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
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。
The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince 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。
After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.
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。
In time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter among them prey, plunder, and wealth. Yes, he will devise his plans against the strongholds, but only 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。
“He will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will wage war in battle with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he won’t stand; for they will 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。
Yes, those who eat of his delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will 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。
As for both these kings, their hearts will be to do evil, and they will speak lies at one table; but it won’t prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed 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。
Then he will return into his land with great wealth. His heart will be against the holy covenant. He will take action, 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，
“He will return at the appointed time and come into the south; but it won’t be in the latter time as it was in the former.
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 ships of Kittim will come against him. Therefore he will be grieved, and will return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and will take action. He will even return, and have regard to those who forsake 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。
“Forces from him will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and will take away the continual burnt offering. Then they will set up the abomination that makes 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。
He will corrupt those who do wickedly against the covenant by flatteries; but the people who know their God will be strong and take action.
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。
“Those who are wise among the people will instruct many; yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, 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。
Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.
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。
Some of those who are wise will fall—to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time appointed.
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。
“The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished, for that which is determined will be done.
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。
He won’t regard the gods of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god; for he will 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。
But in their place, he will honor the god of fortresses. He will honor a god whom his fathers didn’t know with gold, silver, and with precious stones and pleasant 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。
He will deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. He will increase with glory whoever acknowledges him. He will cause them to rule over many, and will divide the land for a price.
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。
“At the time of the end the king of the south will contend with him; and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships. He will enter into the countries, and will overflow and pass through.
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。
He will enter also into the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown; but these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, 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。
He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t 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。
But he will have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt. The Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow his steps.
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 news out of the east and out of the north will trouble him; and he will go out with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away 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。”
He will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
