Daniel 11

1 Quanto a mim, *Dn 5.31;9.1no primeiro ano de Dario, o medo, pôs-me em pé para o confirmar e *Dn 10.18fortalecer.

2 Agora, eu te mostrarei a *Dn 8.26;10.1-21verdade. Eis que se levantarão três reis na Pérsia; e o quarto será muito mais rico do que todos eles. Depois que se tiver tornado forte por meio das suas riquezas, concitará a todos contra o reino da *Dn 8.21;10.20Grécia. 3 Levantar-se-á um *Dn 8.5,21rei poderoso, que reinará com grande domínio e *Dn 11.16,36;Dn 5.19;8.4fará o que lhe aprouver. 4 Quando se levantar, o seu reino será quebrado e se repartirá *Dn 8.8,22para os *Dn 7.2;8.8;Jr 49.36;Ez 37.9;Zc 2.6;Ap 7.1quatro ventos do céu, porém não para a sua posteridade, nem segundo o seu domínio com que reinou; porque o seu reino será *Jr 12.15,17;18.7arrancado até para outros fora destes.

Conflitos entre os reinos do Norte e do Sul

5 O *Dn 11.9,11,14,25,40rei do Sul será forte, como também um dos seus príncipes; este será mais forte do que ele e terá o domínio; o domínio grande será o seu domínio. 6 Ao *Dn 11.13cabo de anos, eles se aliarão um com o outro; e a filha do *Dn 11.7,13,15,40rei do Sul virá ao rei do Norte para ajustar um acordo. Ela, porém, não reterá a força do seu braço, nem subsistirá ele, nem o seu braço. Mas será ela entregue, e bem assim os que a trouxeram, e o que a gerou, e o que a fortaleceu nesses tempos.

7 Mas de um rebento das raízes dela um se levantará no seu lugar, e virá ao exército, e entrará na *Dn 11.19,38-39fortaleza do rei do Norte, e procederá contra eles, e prevalecerá. 8 Também *Is 37.19;46.1-2;Jr 43.12-13os deuses deles, juntamente com as suas imagens fundidas e com os seus vasos preciosos de prata e de ouro, ele os levará cativos para o Egito; por alguns anos, deixará em paz ao rei do Norte. 9 Este entrará no reino do rei do Sul, mas voltará para a sua terra.

10 Seus filhos farão guerra e congregarão uma multidão de grandes forças, que avançará, *Dn 11.26,40;Is 8.8;Jr 46.7-8;51.42inundará e passará para adiante; eles voltarão e farão guerra, até chegarem *Dn 11.7à fortaleza dele. 11 O *Dn 11.5rei do Sul será movido de *Dn 8.7cólera, sairá e pelejará contra ele, a saber, contra o rei do Norte; *Dn 11.13este porá em campo uma grande multidão, *Dn 11.10e a multidão será entregue nas mãos daquele. 12 A multidão será levada, e o coração dele será exaltado; ele derrubará miríades, porém não prevalecerá. 13 O rei do Norte voltará *Dn 11.11e porá em campo uma multidão maior do que a primeira; e marchará ao cabo dos *Dn 4.16;12.7tempos, a saber, dos anos, com um grande exército e com muito material. 14 Naqueles tempos, se levantarão muitos contra o rei do Sul; também os violentos dentre o teu povo se levantarão para estabelecer a visão, porém eles cairão. 15 Assim, virá o rei do Norte, levantará um *Jr 6.6;Ez 4.2;17.17terrapleno e tomará uma cidade bem fortificada; os braços do Sul não resistirão, nem o seu povo escolhido, nem haverá força para resistir. 16 O que, porém, vier contra ele *Dn 11.3,36;Dn 5.19fará o que lhe aprouver, e *Js 1.5não haverá quem lhe possa resistir; estará na *Dn 11.41;Dn 8.9terra gloriosa, e na sua mão haverá destruição. 17 *2Rs 12.17;Ez 4.3,7Resolverá vir com a potência de todo o seu reino e entrará num acordo com ele; dar-lhe-á a filha de mulheres para ele a corromper. Porém ela não subsistirá, nem será para ele. 18 Depois, virará o seu rosto para *Gn 10.5;Is 66.19;Jr 2.10;31.10;Sf 2.11as ilhas e tomará muitas; mas um príncipe fará cessar *Os 12.14o opróbrio que por ele é ocasionado; além disso fará tornar sobre ele o opróbrio. 19 Então, voltará o seu rosto para as fortalezas da sua terra; *Sl 27.2;Jr 40.6mas tropeçará, e cairá, *Jó 20.8;Sl 37.36;Ez 26.21e não será achado.

20 Depois, em lugar dele, se levantará um que fará a um *Is 60.17exator passar pela glória do reino; porém, dentro de poucos dias, será ele destruído, não em ira nem em batalha. 21 Em seu lugar, se levantará um homem desprezível, a quem eles não haviam dado a honra do reino; mas virá *Dn 11.24em tempo de segurança e, *Dn 11.32,34com lisonja, obterá o reino. 22 Com os braços duma *Dn 11.10;Dn 9.26inundação, serão varridos de diante dele e serão quebrantados, também o príncipe da aliança. 23 Depois de feita com ele a aliança, usará de engano; pois subirá e se tornará forte, com pouca gente. 24 *Dn 11.21Em tempo de segurança, virá sobre os *Nm 13.20;Ne 9.25;Ez 34.14lugares mais férteis da província; e fará o que nunca fizeram seus pais, nem os pais de seus pais; espalhará entre eles a presa, os despojos e os bens; formará os seus desígnios contra os lugares fortes, por algum tempo. 25 Despertará o seu poder e a sua coragem contra *Dn 11.5o rei do Sul com um grande exército; o rei do Sul sairá à batalha com um exército em extremo grande e poderoso, porém não subsistirá, porque formarão desígnios contra ele. 26 Os que comerem o pão dele o destruirão; o seu exército *Dn 11.10,40inundará, e muitos cairão mortos. 27 Quanto a ambos esses reis, terão intenção de fazerem *Sl 52.1;64.6o mal e, sentados à mesma mesa, *Jr 9.3-5;41.1-3falarão mentiras. Porém isso não prosperará, porque ainda virá *Dn 11.35,40;Dn 8.19;Hc 2.3o fim no tempo determinado.

28 Então, voltará para a sua terra com muitos bens; o seu coração será posto *Dn 11.30contra a santa aliança, fará o que lhe aprouver e voltará para a sua terra. 29 Ao tempo determinado voltará, e entrará no Sul; porém não sucederá na última como *Dn 11.23,25na primeira ocasião. 30 Virão contra ele naus de *Gn 10.4;Nm 24.24;Is 23.1,12;Jr 2.10Quitim; portanto, será contrariado e voltará. Indignar-se-á *Dn 11.28contra a santa aliança e fará o que lhe aprouver; até tornará a vir e atenderá aos que abandonarem a santa aliança. 31 Estarão braços do lado dele *Dn 8.11-13;12.11e profanarão o santuário, a saber, a fortaleza, e tirarão o holocausto perpétuo e estabelecerão a *Dn 9.27;12.11;Mt 24.15;Mc 13.14abominação que assola. 32 Com *Dn 11.21,34lisonjas, perverterá os que procederem impiamente contra a aliança; mas o povo que conhecer ao seu Deus se tornará *Mq 5.7-9;Zc 9.13-16;10.3-6forte e fará proezas. 33 Os *Dn 12.3que forem sábios entre o povo ensinarão a muitos; contudo, por muitos dias, *Mt 24.9;Jo 16.2;Hb 11.34cairão pela espada e pelo fogo, pelo cativeiro e pelo despojo.

34 Ora, quando caírem, serão ajudados com pequeno socorro; mas muitos, *Dn 11.21,32;Rm 16.18com lisonjas, *Mt 7.15;At 20.29-30se ajuntarão a eles. 35 Alguns dos que são sábios cairão, *Dn 12.10;Dt 8.16;Pv 17.3;Zc 13.9;Ml 3.2-3para os acrisolar, *Jo 15.2purificar e *Ap 7.14embranquecer até *Dn 11.27,40o tempo do fim; pois ainda será para o tempo determinado.

36 O rei *Dn 11.3,16;Dn 5.19fará como lhe der na vontade; exaltar-se-á, e *Dn 5.20;8.11,25;Is 14.13;2Ts 2.4se engrandecerá sobre todo o deus, e *Dn 7.8,11;Ap 13.5-6falará coisas maravilhosas contra *Dn 2.47;Dt 10.17;Sl 136.2o Deus dos deuses, *Dn 8.12e prosperará até que se cumpra *Dn 8.19;Is 10.25;26.20a indignação; pois se fará *Dn 9.27o que está determinado. 37 Não terá respeito aos deuses de seus pais, nem ao desejo de mulheres, nem fará caso de deus algum; pois sobre tudo *Dn 11.36se engrandecerá. 38 Mas no seu lugar honrará ao deus de fortalezas; e a um deus que seus pais não conheceram, ele o honrará com ouro, e prata, e pedras preciosas, e coisas agradáveis. 39 Com o auxílio dum deus estranho, tratará das mais poderosas fortalezas e a todos os que o reconhecerem aumentará de glória; fá-los-á reinar sobre muitos e repartirá a terra por preço.

40 *Dn 11.27,35;Dn 12.4,9No tempo do fim, contenderá com ele *Dn 11.5,9,11,14,25o rei do Sul. *Dn 11.6-7,13,15O rei do Norte virá *Is 5.28;Jr 4.13como turbilhão contra ele, com carros, e com cavaleiros, e com muitas naus; entrará nos países, *Dn 11.10,26e inundará, e passará. 41 Também entrará na *Dn 11.16;Dn 8.9terra gloriosa, e muitos países serão subvertidos; mas da sua mão serão libertados estes: Edom, e *Jr 48.47Moabe, e as primícias dos filhos de *Jr 49.6Amom. 42 Estenderá a sua mão também contra os países, e a terra do Egito não escapará. 43 Apoderar-se-á dos tesouros de ouro e de prata e de todas as coisas preciosas do Egito; *2Cr 12.3;Na 3.9os líbios e *2Cr 12.3;Ez 30.4-5;Na 3.9os etíopes o seguirão. 44 Mas novas vindas do Oriente e do Norte o perturbarão; e sairão com grande fúria para destruir e extirpar a muitos. 45 Armará as tendas do seu palácio entre o mar e *Dn 11.16,41;Dn 8.9o glorioso *Dn 9.16,20;Is 11.9;27.13;65.25;66.20monte santo; contudo, virá ao seu fim, e ninguém lhe dará auxílio.

1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. 2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. 3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion. 6 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.*11.6 join…: Heb. associate themselves*11.6 an…: Heb. rights*11.6 he that begat…: or, whom she brought forth 7 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:*11.7 in…: or, in his place, or, office 8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.*11.8 their precious…: Heb. vessels of their desire 9 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land. 10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.*11.10 shall be…: or, shall war*11.10 return…: or, be stirred up again 11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand. 12 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it. 13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.*11.13 after…: Heb. at the end of times, even years 14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.*11.14 the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers 15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.*11.15 the most…: Heb. the city of munitions*11.15 his…: Heb. the people of his choices 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 the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.*11.16 glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament 17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.*11.17 upright…: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions*11.17 corrupting: Heb. to corrupt 18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.*11.18 for…: Heb. for him*11.18 the reproach…: Heb. his reproach 19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found. 20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.*11.20 estate: or, place*11.20 a…: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over*11.20 anger: Heb. angers

21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.*11.21 estate: or, place 22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant. 23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. 24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.*11.24 peaceably…: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc*11.24 forecast…: Heb. think his thoughts 25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him. 26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. 27 And both these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.*11.27 hearts: Heb. their hearts 28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land. 29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.

30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. 31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.*11.31 maketh…: or, astonisheth 32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.*11.32 corrupt: or, cause to dissemble 33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.*11.35 try them: or, try by them 36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.*11.38 in…: or, as for the Almighty God, in his seat he shall honour yea, he shall honour a god, whom, etc*11.38 estate: or, stead*11.38 forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, God’s protectors*11.38 pleasant: Heb. things desired 39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.*11.39 most…: Heb. fortresses of munitions*11.39 gain: Heb. a price 40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. 41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.*11.41 glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament 42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.*11.42 stretch…: Heb. send forth 43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. 45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.*11.45 glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness
