Daniel 11
1 “As for me, during the first year that Darius was king, I helped and encouraged Michael.”
Or en la première année de Darius le Mède j'assistais pour l'affermir et le fortifier.
2 [The angel also said], “And what I am going to reveal to you now will truly [happen]. There will be three more kings to rule Persia, [one after the other]. Then there will be a fourth king, who will be much richer than the others. As a result of [his giving] a lot of money [to people, they will enable him to] become very powerful. Then he will incite/persuade many nations [HYP] [to fight] against the kingdom of Greece.
Et maintenant aussi je te ferai savoir la vérité: Voici, il y aura encore trois Rois en Perse, puis le quatrième possédera de grandes richesses par-dessus tous; et s'étant fortifié par ses richesses il soulèvera tout [le monde] contre le Royaume de Javan.
3 Then a very powerful king will appear [in Greece]. He will rule over a very large empire, and he will do whatever he wants to do.
Et un Roi puissant se lèvera, et dominera avec une grande puissance, et fera selon sa volonté.
4 But when he has become very powerful, [he will die]. Then his kingdom will be divided into four parts. Kings who are not his descendants will rule, but they will not be as powerful as he was.
Et sitôt qu'il sera en état, son Royaume sera brisé, et partagé vers les quatre vents des cieux, et ne sera point pour sa race, ni selon la domination avec laquelle il aura dominé: car son Royaume sera extirpé, et sera donné à d'autres, outre ceux-là.
5 Then the King of Egypt [MTY] will become very powerful. But one of his army generals will become more powerful than he is, and he will rule a bigger area.
Et le Roi du Midi sera fort puissant, mais un des principaux chefs du [Roi de Javan] sera plus puissant que [le Roi du Midi], et dominera, et sa domination [sera] une grande domination.
6 Several years later, the King of Egypt and the King of Syria will make an (alliance/agreement to help each other) [MTY]. The King of Syria will give his daughter to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But she will not be able to influence him [MTY] very long, and that woman, her husband, her child, and her servants will all be killed/assassinated.
Et au bout de [certaines] années ils s'allieront, et la fille du Roi du Midi viendra vers le Roi de l'Aquilon, pour redresser les affaires; mais elle ne retiendra point la force du bras, et [ni lui] ni son bras ne subsisteront point; mais elle sera livrée, et ceux aussi qui l'auront amenée, et celui qui sera né d'elle, et qui la fortifiait en ces temps-là.
7 Soon after that, one of her relatives [MET] will become King [of Egypt]. His army will attack the army of Syria. They will enter the fortress of the soldiers of Syria and defeat them.
Mais le soutien [du Royaume] du Midi s'élèvera d'un rejeton des racines d'elle, et viendra à l'armée, et entrera dans les forteresses du Roi de l'Aquilon, et y fera [de grands exploits], et se fortifiera.
8 They will return to Egypt, taking the statues of the gods [of the people of Syria] and many items made of silver and gold that had been dedicated to those gods. Then for several years his army will not attack [the army of] the King of Syria.
Et même il emmènera captifs en Egypte leurs dieux avec les vaisseaux de leurs aspersions, et avec leurs vaisseaux précieux d'argent et d'or, et il subsistera quelques années plus que le Roi de l'Aquilon.
9 Then the army of the King of Syria will invade Egypt, but they will soon return to Syria.
Et le Roi du Midi entrera dans [son] Royaume, mais il s'en retournera en son pays.
10 However, the sons of the King of Syria will prepare to start a war, and they will gather a large army. That army will march [south] and spread all over [Israel] like a huge flood. They will attack a strong fortress [in the south of Israel].
Mais les fils de celui-là entreront en guerre, et assembleront une multitude de grandes armées; puis [l'un d'eux] viendra certainement, et se répandra, et passera; il retournera, dis-je, et s'avancera en bataille jusqu'à la forteresse [du Roi du Midi].
11 Then the King of Egypt, having become very angry, will march [with his army north] from Egypt and fight against the army of Syria. The King [of Syria] will gather together a very large army, but [the army of the King of Egypt] will defeat them.
Et le Roi du Midi sera irrité, et sortira, et combattra contre lui, [savoir] contre le Roi de l'Aquilon; et il assemblera une grande multitude, et cette multitude sera livrée entre les mains du Roi du Midi.
12 The King of Egypt will become very proud because of [his army] having killed a very large number of soldiers [from Syria], but his army will not continue to win battles.
Et après avoir défait cette multitude il élèvera son cœur, et abattra des [gens] à milliers, mais il ne sera pas fortifié.
13 The King of Syria will again gather together an army that will be bigger than the one that he had before. After a few years, he will again march [south on their way to Egypt] with a large army and a lot of equipment [for fighting battles].
Car le Roi de l'Aquilon reviendra, et assemblera une plus grande multitude que la première, et au bout de quelque temps, [savoir], de quelques années, il viendra certainement avec une grande armée, et un grand appareil.
14 At that time, many people in Egypt will rebel against their king. In order to fulfill a vision that [one of their leaders had seen], some violent/lawless people from your country [of Israel] will also rebel [in order to not be controlled by Egypt any more], but they will be defeated.
Et en ce temps-là plusieurs s'élèveront contre le Roi du Midi; et les hommes violents de ton peuple s'élèveront, afin de confirmer la vision, mais ils tomberont.
15 Then the King of Syria will come [south with his army] and pile up dirt against the walls of a city that is well protected, and they will [break through those walls and] they will capture the city. The soldiers from Egypt [who have come to defend that city], even the best troops, will not be strong enough to continue to fight.
Et le Roi de l'Aquilon viendra, et fera des terrasses, et prendra les villes fortes; et les bras du Midi, ni son peuple d'élite ne pourront point résister, car [il n'y aura] point de force pour résister.
16 So the King of Syria will do whatever he wants to, and no one will be able to oppose him. [His army] will occupy the glorious land [of Israel] and completely control/subdue it.
Et il fera de celui qui sera venu contre lui, selon sa volonté, et il n'y aura personne qui tienne ferme devant lui; et il s'arrêtera au pays de noblesse, et il y aura consomption par sa force.
17 Then he will decide to march [south] with all the soldiers from his kingdom. He will make an alliance with the King [of Egypt] and in order that his own daughter will [help him to] destroy the kingdom of Egypt, he will give her to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But that plan will fail.
Puis il tournera sa face pour entrer par force dans tout le Royaume de celui-là, et ses affaires iront bien, et il fera de [grands exploits], et il lui donnera une fille de femmes, pour ruiner le Royaume; mais [cela] ne tiendra point, et elle ne sera point pour lui.
18 After that, the [army of] the King of Syria will attack the regions that are close to the [Mediterranean] Sea, and his [army] will conquer many of them. But [the army of] a leader from another country will defeat the army of Syria and will stop their king from continuing to be proud. He will do to the King of Syria what he deserved for being very insolent.
Puis il tournera sa face vers les Iles, et en prendra plusieurs, mais un capitaine l'obligera de cesser l'opprobre qu'il faisait, et outre cela il fera retomber sur lui son opprobre.
19 Then the King of Syria will return to the fortresses in his own land. But he will be defeated, and he will (die/be assassinated) [EUP] there.
Puis il tournera visage vers les forteresses de son pays, il heurtera, il sera renversé, et il ne sera plus trouvé.
20 Then another man will (succeed him/become king). That king will send one of his officers to oppress the people [in Jerusalem] by forcing them to pay big taxes, in order to get more money for his kingdom. But after a few years [HYP] that king will die, but he will not die as a result of people being angry with him or in a battle.
Et un autre sera établi en sa place, qui enverra l'exacteur pour la Majesté Royale, et il sera détruit dans peu de jours, mais non dans une rencontre, ni dans une bataille.
21 The next King of Syria will be an evil man who, [because he will not be the son of the previous king, ] will not have the right to become king. But he will come when people do not expect it, and he will become king by tricking the people.
Et en sa place il en sera établi un autre qui sera méprisé, auquel on ne donnera point l'honneur royal; mais il viendra en paix, et il occupera le Royaume par des flatteries.
22 When his army advances, they will attack any armies that oppose him and destroy those armies. They will also kill God’s Supreme Priest.
Et les bras des grandes eaux seront engloutis par un déluge devant lui, et seront rompus, et il sera le Chef d'un accord.
23 By making treaties/alliances with [the rulers of] other nations, he will deceive them, and he will become very powerful, even though he rules a nation that does not have a lot of people.
Mais après les accords faits avec lui, il usera de tromperie, et il montera, et se renforcera avec peu de gens.
24 Suddenly his [army] will invade a province that is very wealthy, and they will do things that none of his ancestors did: they will capture in battles all kinds of possessions from the people whom they defeat. Then the king will divide those possessions among his friends. He will also plan [for his army] to attack fortresses [in Egypt], but only for a short time.
Il entrera dans les lieux gras d'une Province [alors] paisible, et il fera des choses que ses pères, ni les pères de ses pères, n'ont point faites; il leur répandra le pillage, le butin, et les richesses; et il formera des desseins contre les forteresses: et cela jusqu'à un certain temps.
25 He will courageously/boldly conscript/gather a large and powerful army to attack [the army of] the king of Egypt. But the King of Egypt will prepare to fight against them with a huge and powerful army. However, someone will deceive him, with the result that his plan will not be successful.
Puis il réveillera sa force et son cœur contre le Roi du Midi, avec une grande armée, et le Roi du Midi s'avancera en bataille avec une très grande et très forte armée, mais il ne subsistera point, parce qu'on formera des entreprises contre lui.
26 Even his most trusted advisors will plan to get rid of him. His army will be defeated and many of his soldiers will be killed.
Et ceux qui mangent les mets de sa table le mettront en pièces, et son armée sera accablée, comme d'un déluge, et beaucoup de gens tomberont blessés à mort.
27 Then the two [kings who both want to rule that area] will sit down at the same table and eat together, but they will both lie to each other. Neither of them will get what he wants, because it will not be the time [that God] has determined/set [for them to rule Egypt].
Et le cœur de ces deux Rois sera [adonné] à s'entre-nuire, et ils parleront en une même table avec tromperie, ce qui ne tournera point à bien; car il y aura encore une fin au temps ordonné.
28 [The army of] the King [of Syria] will return to Syria, taking with them all the valuable things [that they had captured]. The king will be determined to get rid of the Supreme Priest of the Jewish people. He will do what he wants to [in Israel], and then return to his own country.
Après quoi il s'en retournera en son pays avec de grandes richesses, et son cœur sera contre la sainte alliance, et il fera [de grands exploits], puis il retournera en son pays.
29 When it is the time that God has decided, the King of Syria [and his army] will invade Egypt again. But this time he will not be successful like he was before.
[Ensuite] il retournera au temps préfix, et il viendra contre le Midi, mais cette dernière [expédition] ne sera pas comme la précédente.
30 The army of Rome will come in ships and oppose his army and cause him to be afraid. So he will be very angry, and [with his army] he will return [to Israel] and try to get rid of the Supreme Priest. The King of Syria will do what those who have abandoned the Jewish religion advise/want him to do for them.
Car les navires de Kittim viendront contre lui, dont il sera contristé, et il s'en retournera, et il sera irrité contre la sainte alliance, et fera [de grands exploits], et retournera, et s'entendra avec les apostats de la sainte alliance.
31 Some of his soldiers will do things to (defile the temple/cause the temple to become unholy for them). They will prevent the priests from offering sacrifices each day, and they will put [in the temple] something that is disgusting/abominable.
Et les forces seront de son côté, et on souillera le Sanctuaire, qui est la forteresse, et on ôtera le sacrifice continuel, et on y mettra l'abomination qui causera la désolation.
32 By deceiving those who have abandoned the Jewish religion, he will persuade them to (become his supporters/help him to do what he wants to do). But those who are devoted to their God will firmly oppose them.
Et il fera pécher par flatteries ceux qui se porteront méchamment dans l'alliance; mais le peuple de ceux qui connaîtront leur Dieu se fortifiera, et fera [de grands exploits.]
33 And wise [Israeli] leaders will teach others also. But for a while, some of those wise leaders will be killed in battles, and some will be burned to death, and some will be robbed, and some will be put in prison.
Et les plus intelligents d'entre le peuple donneront instruction à plusieurs, et il y en aura qui tomberont par l'épée et par la flamme, ou qui seront en captivité et en proie durant plusieurs jours.
34 While God’s people are being persecuted, some people will help them a little bit, although some of those who help them will not do it sincerely.
Et lorsqu'ils tomberont ainsi, ils seront un peu secourus; mais plusieurs se joindront à eux sous un beau semblant.
35 Some of those wise leaders will be killed [EUP], but as a result the others will be purified [DOU]. This suffering will continue until it is the time [that God] has appointed [for it to] end.
Et quelques-uns de ces plus intelligents tomberont, afin qu'il y en ait d'entre eux qui soient rendus éprouvés, qui soient épurés, et qui soient blanchis, jusqu'au temps déterminé; car cela est encore pour un certain temps.
36 The King [of Syria] will do what he wants to. He will boast and say that he is greater than any god. He will even revile the Supreme God. He will be able to do what he wants until the time that [God] punishes [MTY] him. [God] will accomplish what he has planned.
Ce Roi donc fera selon sa volonté, et s'enorgueillira, et s'élèvera par-dessus tout Dieu; il proférera des choses étranges contre le Dieu des dieux, et prospérera jusqu'à ce que l'indignation ait pris fin; car la détermination en a été faite.
37 The [King of Syria] will ignore the god that his ancestors worshiped and the god that many women love. He will ignore every god, because he will think that he is greater than all of them.
Et il ne se souciera point des dieux de ses pères, ni de l'amour des femmes, même il ne se souciera d'aucun Dieu; car il s'élèvera au-dessus de tout.
38 But he will honor the god who [people think] protects fortresses. That is a god whom his ancestors did not honor. And he will give gold, silver, (jewels/very valuable stones) and other expensive gifts to that god.
Mais il honorera dans son lieu le dieu Mahuzzim, il honorera, dis-je, avec de l'or et de l'argent, et des pierres précieuses, et des choses désirables, le dieu que ses pères n'ont point connu.
39 He will ask that god (OR, people who worship a god) from another country to help him to defend his fortresses. He will greatly honor those who allow him [to be their ruler]. He will appoint [some of] them to important positions in the government; and to reward them, he will give them some land.
Et il fera [de grands exploits] dans les forteresses les plus fortes, tenant le parti du dieu inconnu qu'il aura connu, il [leur] multipliera la gloire, et les fera dominer sur plusieurs, et leur partagera le pays à prix d'argent.
40 But when his time [to rule] is almost ended, [the army of] the King of Egypt will attack his [army]. The [army of the] King of Syria will fight against them furiously [SIM]. [His soldiers will be driving] chariots and [riding on] horses and [traveling in] many ships. His army will invade many countries and [spread all over those countries] like a flood [MET].
Et au temps déterminé le Roi du Midi choquera avec lui de ses cornes mais le Roi de l'Aquilon se lèvera contre lui comme une tempête, avec des chariots et des gens de cheval, et avec plusieurs navires, et il entrera dans ses terres, et les inondera, et passera outre.
41 They will invade the glorious land [of Israel] and kill [EUP] tens of thousands of people. But the people of the Edom people-group and the people of the Moab people-group and the people of the Ammon people-group who are still alive will escape.
Et il entrera au pays de noblesse, et plusieurs pays seront ruinés, mais ceux-ci réchapperont de sa main, [savoir], Edom, et Moab, et le principal lieu des enfants de Hammon.
42 When the army of Syria invades other countries, even the people of Egypt will be defeated.
Il mettra donc la main sur ces pays-là; et le pays d'Egypte n'échappera point.
43 The army of Syria will take away from Egypt gold, silver, and other valuable items. The people of Libya and Ethiopia will allow [the King of Syria] to rule over them.
Il se rendra maître des trésors d'or et d'argent, et de toutes les choses désirables de l'Egypte; les Libyens et ceux de Cus seront à sa suite.
44 But he will become very frightened/alarmed when he hears reports about what is happening in the east and in the north. So he will become very angry, and send his army to fight furiously and kill many [of their enemies].
Mais les nouvelles de l'Orient et de l'Aquilon le troubleront, et il sortira avec une grande fureur, pour détruire et exterminer beaucoup de gens.
45 The [King of Syria] will set up his royal tents in the area between the [Mediterranean] Sea and the hill [in Jerusalem] on which the temple (exists/was built). But he will be killed there, because there will be no one to help him.”
Et il dressera les tentes de sa maison royale entre les mers, à l'[opposite] de la noble montagne de la sainteté; mais il viendra à sa fin, et personne ne lui donnera du secours.
