Daniel 11 (WEBP)

[1] “As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
[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.
[3] A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[9] He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will return into his own land.
[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.
[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.
[12] 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] 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] “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] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] “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] “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] The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.
[23] After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.
[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.
[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 won’t stand; for they will devise plans against him.
[26] Yes, those who eat of his delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down slain.
[27] 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] 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] “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] 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] “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] 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] “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] Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.
[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.
[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.
[37] 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] 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] 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] “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] 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] He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t escape.
[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.
[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.
[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.

[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 .
[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 ():
[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 .
[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] 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 () (8675) (); 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 .
[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 ().
[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 ().
[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 .
[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.
[18] After this shall he turn () (8675) () 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.
[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 .
[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 .
[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 .
[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 .
[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 ().
[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].
[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 .
[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 .
[39] Thus shall he do () in the most strong holds with a strange god , whom he shall acknowledge () (8675) () [and] increase () with glory : and he shall cause them to rule () over many , and shall divide () the land for gain .
[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 .
[42] He shall stretch forth () his hand also upon the countries : and the land of Egypt shall not escape .
[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.

Daniel 11 (YLT)

[1] ‘And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, my standing is for a strengthener, and for a stronghold to him;
[2] and, now, truth I declare to thee, Lo, yet three kings are standing for Persia, and the fourth doth become far richer than all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirreth up the whole, with the kingdom of Javan.
[3] And a mighty king hath stood, and he hath ruled a great dominion, and hath done according to his will;
[4] and according to his standing is his kingdom broken, and divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom is plucked up-and for others apart from these.
[5] ‘And a king of the south-even of his princes-doth become strong, and doth prevail against him, and hath ruled; a great dominion is his dominion.
[6] ‘And at the end of years they do join themselves together, and a daughter of the king of the south doth come in unto the king of the north to do upright things; and she doth not retain the power of the arm; and he doth not stand, nor his arm; and she is given up, she, and those bringing her in, and her child, and he who is strengthening her in these times.
[7] ‘And one hath stood up from a branch of her roots, in his station, and he cometh in unto the bulwark, yea, he cometh into a stronghold of the king of the south, and hath wrought against them, and hath done mightily;
[8] and also their gods, with their princes, with their desirable vessels of silver and gold, into captivity he bringeth into Egypt; and he doth stand more years than the king of the north.
[9] ‘And the king of the south hath come into the kingdom, and turned back unto his own land;
[10] and his sons stir themselves up, and have gathered a multitude of great forces, and he hath certainly come in, and overflowed, and passed through, and he turneth back, and they stir themselves up unto his stronghold.
[11] And the king of the south doth become embittered, and hath gone forth and fought with him, with the king of the north, and hath caused a great multitude to stand, and the multitude hath been given into his hand,
[12] and he hath carried away the multitude, his heart is high, and he hath caused myriads to fall, and he doth not become strong.
[13] ‘And the king of the north hath turned back, and hath caused a multitude to stand, greater than the first, and at the end of the times a second time he doth certainly come in with a great force, and with much substance;
[14] and in those times many do stand up against the king of the south, and sons of the destroyers of thy people do lift themselves up to establish the vision-and they have stumbled.
[15] ‘And the king of the north cometh in, and poureth out a mount, and hath captured fenced cities; and the arms of the south do not stand, nor the people of his choice, yea, there is no power to stand.
[16] And he who is coming unto him doth according to his will, and there is none standing before him; and he standeth in the desirable land, and it is wholly in his hand.
[17] And he setteth his face to go in with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he hath wrought, and the daughter of women he giveth to him, to corrupt her; and she doth not stand, nor is for him.
[18] ‘And he turneth back his face to the isles, and hath captured many; and a prince hath caused his reproach of himself to cease; without his reproach he turneth it back to him.
[19] And he turneth back his face to the strongholds of his land, and hath stumbled and fallen, and is not found.
[20] ‘And stood up on his station hath one causing an exactor to pass over the honour of the kingdom, and in a few days he is destroyed, and not in anger, nor in battle.
[21] ‘And stood up on his station hath a despicable one, and they have not given unto him the honour of the kingdom, and he hath come in quietly, and hath strengthened the kingdom by flatteries.
[22] And the arms of the flood are overflowed from before him, and are broken; and also the leader of the covenant.
[23] And after they join themselves unto him, he worketh deceit, and hath increased, and hath been strong by a few of the nation.
[24] Peaceably even into the fertile places of the province He cometh, and he hath done that which his fathers did not, nor his fathers’ fathers; prey, and spoil, and substance, to them he scattereth, and against fenced places he deviseth his devices, even for a time.
[25] ‘And he stirreth up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great force, and the king of the south stirreth himself up to battle with a very great and mighty force, and standeth not, for they devise devices against him,
[26] and those eating his portion of food destroy him, and his force overfloweth, and fallen have many wounded.
[27] ‘And both of the kings’ hearts are to do evil, and at one table they speak lies, and it doth not prosper, for yet the end is at a time appointed.
[28] And he turneth back to his land with great substance, and his heart is against the holy covenant, and he hath wrought, and turned back to his land.
[29] At the appointed time he turneth back, and hath come against the south, and it is not as the former, and as the latter.
[30] And ships of Chittim have come in against him, and he hath been pained, and hath turned back, and hath been insolent toward the holy covenant, and hath wrought, and turned back, and he understandeth concerning those forsaking the holy covenant.
[31] And strong ones out of him stand up, and have polluted the sanctuary, the stronghold, and have turned aside the continual sacrifice, and appointed the desolating abomination.
[32] And those acting wickedly against the covenant, he defileth by flatteries; and the people knowing their God are strong, and have wrought.
[33] And the teachers of the people give understanding to many; and they have stumbled by sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil-days.
[34] And in their stumbling, they are helped-a little help, and joined to them have been many with flatteries.
[35] And some of the teachers do stumble for refining by them, and for purifying, and for making white-till the end of the time, for it is yet for a time appointed.
[36] ‘And the king hath done according to his will, and exalteth himself, and magnifieth himself against every god, and against the God of gods he speaketh wonderful things, and hath prospered till the indignation hath been completed, for that which is determined hath been done.
[37] And unto the God of his fathers he doth not attend, nor to the desire of women, yea, to any god he doth not attend, for against all he magnifieth himself.
[38] And to the god of strongholds, on his station, he giveth honour; yea, to a god whom his fathers knew not he giveth honour, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stone, and with desirable things.
[39] And he hath dealt in the fortresses of the strongholds with a strange god whom he hath acknowledged; he multiplieth honour, and hath caused them to rule over many, and the ground he apportioneth at a price.
[40] ‘And at the time of the end, push himself forward with him doth a king of the south, and storm against him doth a king of the north, with chariot, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he hath come in to the lands, and hath overflowed, and passed over,
[41] and hath come into the desirable land, and many do stumble, and these escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.
[42] ‘And he sendeth forth his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt is not for an escape;
[43] and he hath ruled over treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt, and Lubim and Cushim are at his steps.
[44] ‘And reports trouble him out of the east and out of the north, and he hath gone forth in great fury to destroy, and to devote many to destruction;
[45] and he planteth the tents of his palace between the seas and the holy desirable mountain, and hath come unto his end, and there is no helper to him.
