< Daniel 11 >

1 “As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
Eu, pois, no primeiro anno de Dario, medo, estive para o esforçar e fortalecer.
2 “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.
E agora te declararei a verdade: Eis que ainda tres reis estarão na Persia, e o quarto será enriquecido de grandes riquezas mais do que todos; e, esforçando-se com as suas riquezas, suscitará a todos contra o reino da Grecia.
3 A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Depois se levantará um rei valente, que reinará com grande dominio, e fará o que lhe aprouver.
4 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.
Mas, estando elle em pé, o seu reino será quebrado, e será repartido para os quatro ventos do céu, porém não para a sua posteridade, nem tão pouco segundo o seu dominio com que reinou, porque o seu reino será arrancado, e será para outros fóra d'estes.
5 “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.
E se esforçará o rei do sul, um d'entre os seus principes; mas outro se esforçará, mais do que elle, e reinará, e dominio grande será o seu dominio,
6 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.
Mas, ao cabo de alguns annos, um com outro fará concerto; e a filha do rei do sul virá ao rei do norte para fazer um tratado, mas ella não terá força de braço; nem elle persistirá, nem o seu braço, porque ella será entregue, e os que a tiverem trazido, e seu pae, e o que a esforçava n'aquelles tempos!
7 “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.
Mas do renovo das suas raizes um se levantará em seu logar, e virá com o exercito, e entrará nas fortalezas do rei do norte, e obrará contra elles, e prevalecerá.
8 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.
E tambem os seus deuses com os seus principes, com os seus vasos preciosos de prata e oiro, levará captivos para o Egypto; e por alguns annos elle persistirá contra o rei do norte.
9 He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will return into his own land.
Assim entrará o rei do sul no reino, e tornará para a sua terra.
10 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.
Porém seus filhos se entremetterão em guerra, e ajuntarão grande numero de exercitos, e um d'elles virá á pressa, e inundará, e passará, e tornará a entremetter-se em guerra, até chegar á sua fortaleza
11 “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.
Então o rei do sul se exasperará, e sairá, e pelejará contra elle, a saber, contra o rei do norte, que porá em campo grande multidão, mas aquella multidão será entregue na sua mão
12 The multitude will be carried off, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not prevail.
Quando fôr tirada aquella multidão, o seu coração se elevará: ainda que derribará muitos milhares, comtudo não prevalecerá.
13 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.
Porque o rei do norte tornará, e porá em campo uma multidão maior do que a primeira, e ao cabo dos tempos, isto é, annos, virá á pressa com grande exercito e com muita fazenda.
14 “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.
E, n'aquelles tempos, muitos se levantarão contra o rei do sul; e os filhos dos prevaricadores do teu povo se levantarão para confirmar a visão, e cairão.
15 So the king of the north will come and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. The forces of the south will not stand, neither will his select troops, neither will there be any strength to stand.
E o rei do norte virá, e levantará baluartes, e tomará a cidade forte; e os braços do sul não poderão subsistir, nem o seu povo escolhido, pois não haverá força para subsistir.
16 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.
O que pois ha de vir contra elle fará segundo a sua vontade, e não haverá quem possa subsistir diante d'elle: e estará na terra gloriosa, e haverá consumição na sua mão.
17 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 will not be for him.
E porá o seu rosto, para vir com a potencia de todo o seu reino, e com elle os rectos, e o fará: e lhe dará uma filha das mulheres, para a destruir a ella, mas ella não subsistirá, nem será por elle.
18 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.
Depois virará o seu rosto para as ilhas, e tomará muitas; e um principe fará cessar o seu opprobrio contra elle, e ainda fará tornar sobre elle o seu opprobrio.
19 Then he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and will not be found.
Virará pois o seu rosto para as fortalezas da sua terra, mas tropeçará, e cairá, e não será achado.
20 “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.
E em seu logar se levantará quem fará passar o arrecadador em gloria real; mas em poucos dias será quebrantado, e isto não em ira nem em batalha.
21 “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.
Depois se levantará em seu logar um homem vil, ao qual não darão a dignidade real; mas virá caladamente, e tomará o reino com engano.
22 The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.
E os braços da inundação serão inundados de diante d'elle; e serão quebrantados, como tambem o principe do concerto.
23 After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.
E, depois dos concertos com elle, usará de engano; e subirá, e será esforçado com pouca gente.
24 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.
Virá tambem caladamente aos logares gordos da provincia, e fará o que nunca fizeram seus paes, nem os paes de seus paes; repartirá entre elles a preza e os despojos, e a riqueza, e formará os seus projectos contra as fortalezas, porém sómente por certo tempo
25 “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 will not stand; for they will devise plans against him.
E suscitará a sua força e o seu coração contra o rei do sul com um grande exercito; e o rei do sul se entremetterá na guerra com um grande e mui poderoso exercito; mas não subsistirá, porque formarão projectos contra elle.
26 Yes, those who eat of his delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down slain.
E os que comerem os seus manjares o quebrantarão; e o exercito d'elle inundará, e cairão muitos traspassados.
27 As for both these kings, their hearts will be to do evil, and they will speak lies at one table; but it will not prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time.
Tambem estes dois reis terão o coração attento para fazerem o mal, e a uma mesma mesa fallarão a mentira, mas não prosperará, porque o fim ainda terá logar no tempo determinado.
28 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.
E tornará para a sua terra com grande riqueza, e o seu coração será contra o sancto concerto; e obrará, e tornará para a sua terra
29 “He will return at the appointed time and come into the south; but it will not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
Ao tempo determinado tornará a vir contra o sul; mas não será a ultima como a primeira vez.
30 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.
Porque virão contra elle navios de Chittim, de que se entristecerá; e tornará, e se indignará contra o sancto concerto, e obrará, porque tornará a attender aos que tiverem desamparado o sancto concerto.
31 “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.
E sairão a elle uns braços, e profanarão o sanctuario e a fortaleza, e tirarão o continuo sacrificio, e porão a abominação assoladora.
32 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.
E aos violadores do concerto com lisonjas fará usar de hypocrisia, mas o povo que conhece ao seu Deus se esforçará e fará proezas.
33 “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.
E os entendidos entre o povo ensinarão a muitos; e cairão pela espada, e pelo fogo, e pelo captiveiro, e pelo roubo, por muitos dias.
34 Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.
E, caindo elles, serão ajudados com pequeno soccorro; e muitos se ajuntarão com elles com lisonjas.
35 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.
E alguns dos entendidos cairão, para os provar, e purgar, e embranquecer, até ao fim do tempo, porque será ainda até ao tempo determinado.
36 “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.
E este rei fará conforme a sua vontade, e se levantará, e se engrandecerá sobre todo o deus; e contra o Deus dos deuses fallará coisas maravilhosas, e será prospero, até que a ira seja acabada; porque aquillo que está determinado será feito.
37 He will not regard the gods of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god; for he will magnify himself above all.
E não terá respeito algum ao Deus de seus paes, nem terá respeito ao amor das mulheres, nem a algum outro deus, porque sobre tudo se engrandecerá.
38 But in their place, he will honor the god of fortresses. He will honor a god whom his fathers did not know with gold, silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.
E ao deus das fortalezas honrará em seu logar, a saber, ao deus a quem seus paes não conheceram honrará com oiro, e com prata, e com pedras preciosas, e com coisas desejadas.
39 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.
E fará os castellos fortes com o deus estranho; aos que reconhecer multiplicará a honra, e os fará reinar sobre muitos, e repartirá a terra por preço.
40 “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.
E, no fim do tempo, o rei do sul lhe dará marradas, e o rei do norte o accommetterá com carros, e com cavalleiros, e com muitos navios; e entrará nas terras, e as inundará, e passará.
41 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.
E entrará na terra gloriosa, e muitas terras serão derribadas, mas escaparão da sua mão estes: Edom e Moab, e as primicias dos filhos d'Amon.
42 He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt will not escape.
E estenderá a sua mão ás terras, e a terra do Egypto não escapará.
43 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.
E apoderar-se-ha dos thesouros de oiro e de prata, e de todas as coisas desejadas do Egypto; e os lybios e os ethiopes o seguirão.
44 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.
Mas os rumores do oriente e do norte o espantarão; e sairá com grande furor, para destruir e extirpar a muitos.
45 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.
E armará as tendas do seu palacio entre o mar grande, no monte sancto e glorioso; mas virá ao seu fim, e não haverá quem o soccorra.
