Daniel 11

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Assim como eu, {no primeiro ano do reinado de Dario, o medo, mantive-me} junto a ele para auxiliá-lo e protegê-lo.	1 “And so, from the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood firm, so that he might be reinforced and strengthened.
2 Agora vou manifestar-te a verdade. Haverá ainda três reis na Pérsia. O quarto ultrapassará todos os demais em riquezas. Quando suas riquezas o tiverem tornado poderoso, movimentará tudo contra o reino de Javã.	2 And now I will announce to you the truth. Behold, up to a certain point, three kings will stand in Persia, and the fourth will be exceedingly enriched in power above them all. And when he has grown strong by his resources, he will stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
3 Mas levantar-se-á um rei forte que dominará sobre um vasto império e fará tudo quanto lhe aprouver.	3 But there will rise up a strong king, and he will rule with great power, and he will do what he pleases.
4 Quando ficar poderoso, seu reino será desmembrado e dividido aos quatro ventos do céu. Não passará à posteridade e não terá mais o mesmo poder; seu reino será desmembrado e entregue a estranhos e não a seus descendentes.	4 And when he has been firmly established, his kingdom will be shattered and will be divided towards the four winds of the heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom will be torn to pieces, even for the outsiders who have been expelled from these.
5 O rei do sul tornar-se-á poderoso, mas um dos chefes do seu exército ficará ainda mais forte e seu império será grande.	5 And the king of the South will be reinforced, yet one of his leaders will prevail over him, and he will rule with riches, for great is his domain.
6 Após alguns anos aliar-se-ão: a filha do rei do sul virá à casa do rei do norte para fazer o acordo; mas ela não conservará o apoio de seu pai, cujo poder não se manterá, nem o do seu esposo. Ela será morta com aqueles que a tiverem trazido, aquele que a criou e aquele que a tinha feito poderosa.	6 And after the end of years, they will form a federation, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to make friendship, but she will not obtain the strength of arms, neither will her offspring stand firm, and she will be handed over, along with those who brought her, her young men, and those who comforted her in these times.
7 Um dos rebentos da mesma raiz levantar-se-á em seu lugar; virá em direção do exército, entrará nas fortalezas do rei do norte, atacá-lo-á e sairá vencedor.	7 And a transplant from the germination of her roots will stand up, and he will come with an army, and will enter into the province of the king of the North, and he will abuse them, and will hold it fast.
8 Levará para o Egito até mesmo seus deuses cativos, assim como seus ídolos e seus objetos preciosos de ouro e de prata. Depois, durante alguns anos, abster-se-á de atacar o rei do norte.	8 And, in addition, he will carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven images, and likewise their precious vessels of gold and silver. He will prevail against the king of the North.
9 Este virá contra o rei do sul, mas voltará para a sua terra.	9 And the king of the South will enter into the kingdom, and will return to his own land.
10 Mas seus filhos prepararão a guerra recrutando um exército numeroso, o qual, precipitando-se como uma torrente, invadirá e levará a batalha até a sua fortaleza.	10 But his sons will be challenged, and they will assemble a multitude of very many forces. And he will arrive rushing and overflowing. And he will be turned back, and he will be enraged, and he will join the battle in his redness.
11 Irritado, o rei do sul sairá para atacar o rei do norte: como porá em campo um numeroso exército, as tropas inimigas ser-lhe-ão entregues.	11 And the king of the South, having being challenged, will go forth and will fight against the king of the North, and he will prepare an exceedingly great multitude, and a multitude will be given into his hand.
12 Após o aniquilamento desse exército, encher-se-á de orgulho. Mandará matar dezenas de milhares de homens, sem ficar mais forte por isso.	12 And he will seize a multitude, and his heart will be exalted, and he will cast down many thousands, but he will not prevail.
13 O rei do norte organizará novamente um exército mais numeroso ainda que o primeiro, e alguns anos depois avançará em meio a enormes tropas e a um grandioso aparato.	13 For the king of the North will change strategy and will prepare a multitude much greater than before, and at the end of times and years, he will rush forward with a great army and exceedingly great resources.
14 Nesse momento, muitos se levantarão contra o rei do sul; homens violentos de teu povo revoltar-se-ão para cumprir a visão, mas fracassarão.	14 And in those times, many will rise up against the king of the South. And likewise the sons of the deceivers among your people will extol themselves, so as to fulfill the vision, and they will collapse.
15 O rei do norte virá então, destruirá trincheiras e tomará fortalezas. Os exércitos do rei do sul, mesmo as suas tropas de escol, não se manterão; nada poderá resistir.	15 And the king of the North will arrive and will transport siege works, and he will seize the most fortified cities. And the arms of the South will not withstand him, and his elect will rise up to resist, but the strength will not.
16 O invasor agirá à sua vontade sem que ninguém possa enfrentá-lo. Deter-se-á no país que é a jóia da terra; e a destruição estará em suas mãos.	16 And when he arrives, he will do just as he pleases, and there will be none who stand against his face. And he will stand in the illustrious land, and it will be consumed by his hand.
17 Empreenderá a conquista do reino do sul; fará um pacto com seu rei e dar-lhe-á sua filha como mulher, a fim de amenizar a ruína dessa terra; mas isso não dará resultado, e esse reino não lhe pertencerá.	17 And he will set his face to strive to hold his entire kingdom, and he will make fair conditions with him. And he will give him a daughter among women, so as to overthrow it. But she will not stand, neither will she be for him.
18 Depois voltar-se-á contra as ilhas e tomará diversas. Porém um chefe militar porá fim à sua soberba, e fá-lo-á pagar sua injúria.	18 And he will turn his face towards the islands, and he will seize many. And he will cause the leader of his reproach to cease, and his reproach will be turned around for him.
19 Então voltar-se-á contra as fortalezas de sua terra, mas tropeçará, cairá e acabará desaparecendo.	19 And he will turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he will strike, and will overthrow, but he will not succeed.
20 No lugar deste último será colocado um príncipe, que enviará um fiscal ao país que é a jóia da terra. Em poucos dias ele será aniquilado, e não será nem por efeito de cólera nem de batalha.	20 And there will stand up in his place one who is most worthless and unworthy of kingly honor. And in a short time, he will be worn out, but not in fury, nor in battle.
21 Em seu lugar, elevar-se-á um homem vil, sem nenhuma dignidade real, que surgirá repentinamente e apossar-se-á da realeza pelas suas intrigas.	21 And there will stand up in his place the despicable one, and he will not be assigned the honor of a king. And he will arrive in secret, and he will obtain the kingdom by deceitfulness.
22 As tropas de invasão serão postas em fuga diante dele e aniquiladas, bem como o chefe da aliança.	22 And the arms of the fighting will be assaulted before his face and will be shattered, and, in addition, the leader of the federation.
23 A despeito do pacto firmado com ele, agirá com perfídia: atacará e triunfará com poucos homens.	23 And, after making friends, he will trick him, and he will go up and will overcome with a small people.
24 Invadirá inesperadamente as regiões mais férteis da terra; fará o que nunca fizeram seus pais nem os antepassados deles: distribuirá com os seus os saques, despojos, riquezas; combinará ofensivas contra as fortalezas, mas apenas por um tempo.	24 And he will enter into rich and resourceful cities, and he will do what his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and will form a plan against the most steadfast, and this until a time.
25 Dará novo impulso a suas forças e a seu valor, atacando o rei do sul com um exército considerável. Por seu lado, o rei do sul entrará na luta com um exército importante e valoroso, mas não poderá resistir devido às intrigas urdidas contra ele.	25 And his strength and his heart will be enraged against the king of the South with a great army. And the king of the South will be provoked into going to war by having many allies and exceedingly good circumstances, and yet these will not stand, for they will form plans against him.
26 Seus comensais o aniquilarão; seu exército se dispersará e muitos homens cairão feridos mortalmente.	26 And those who eat bread with him will crush him, and his army will be suppressed, and very many will die, having been executed.
27 Com o coração repleto de desejos malévolos, os dois reis enganar-se-ão mutuamente à volta da mesma mesa. Mas seus projetos fracassarão, porque o fim só virá no tempo determinado.	27 And the heart of two kings will be similar, to do harm, and they will speak lies at one table, but they will not succeed, because as yet the end is for another time.
28 Volverá à sua terra com grandes riquezas. Seu coração meditará o mal contra a santa aliança; cometê-lo-á, depois entrará novamente em sua terra.	28 And he will return to his land with many resources. And his heart will be against the holy testament, and he will act, and he will return to his own land.
29 No tempo previsto atacará de novo o sul: mas esta expedição não será semelhante à precedente.	29 At the appointed time, he will return, and he will approach the South, but the latter time will not be like the former.
30 Navios de Cetim o atacarão e ele desanimará. Dirigirá novamente sua fúria contra a santa aliança, tomará medidas contra ela, fazendo um pacto com aqueles que a abandonarem.	30 And the Greek warships and the Romans will come upon him, and he will be pierced, and will retreat, and will have scorn against the testament of the sanctuary, and he will act. And he will return and will consult their adversaries, who have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
31 Tropas sob sua ordem virão profanar o santuário, a fortaleza; farão cessar o holocausto perpétuo e instalarão a abominação do devastador.	31 And arms will take his side, and they will pollute the sanctuary of the strength, and they will take away the continual sacrifice and will replace it with the abomination of desolation.
32 Submeterá, com suas lisonjas, os violadores da aliança, mas a multidão daqueles que conhecem seu Deus manter-se-á firme e resistirá.	32 And the impious within the testament will imitate deceitfully, but the people, knowing their God, will persevere and will act.
33 Os homens doutos desse povo instruirão um grande número; mas, durante algum tempo, perecerão pela espada, fogo, cativeiro e pilhagem.	33 And the teachers among the people will teach many, but they will be ruined by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by assaults for many days.
34 Enquanto forem caindo dessa maneira, serão um tanto amparados; e um bom número unir-se-á hipocritamente a eles.	34 And when they have fallen, they will be supported with a little help, but many will apply to them deceitfully.
35 Muitos desses sábios sucumbirão, a fim de que sejam provados, purificados e branqueados até o termo final; ora, esse final só chegará no tempo marcado.	35 And some of the learned will be ruined, that they may be kindled and chosen and purified, up to the predetermined time, because there will be still another time.
36 O rei fará então tudo o que desejar. Ensoberbecer-se-á, elevar-se-á no seu orgulho acima de qualquer divindade; proferirá até coisas inauditas contra o Deus dos deuses; prosperará até que a cólera divina tenha chegado ao seu termo, porque o que está decretado deverá ser executado.	36 And the king will act according to his will, and he will be lifted up and will be extolled against every god. And he will speak great things against the God of gods, and he will control, until the passion is completed. Once accomplished, the limit is reached with certainty.
37 Não respeitará nem os deuses de seus antepassados, nem a deusa querida das mulheres, nem divindade alguma; julgar-se-á superior a todos.	37 And he will give no thought to the God of his fathers, and he will be in the desire of women, and he will not attend to any gods, because he will rise up against all things.
38 Mas venerará o deus das fortalezas, no próprio local, um deus desconhecido de seus antepassados, com ouro, prata, pedras preciosas e jóias.	38 But he will do homage to the god Maozim in his place, and, a god whom his fathers did not know, he will worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and costly things.
39 Com o auxílio de um deus estranho, atacará as muralhas das fortalezas; aos que o reconhecerem, multiplicará as honras, conferir-lhes-á autoridade sobre numerosos vassalos e distribuir-lhes-á terras em recompensa.	39 And he will act to reinforce Maozim with an alien god, of whom he has become aware, and he will increase their glory, and will give them power over many, and he will distribute land for free.
40 No final, o rei do sul e ele entrarão em luta. O rei do norte cairá sobre ele, como um furacão, com carros, cavaleiros e uma frota considerável. Entrará na terra como uma torrente que transborda.	40 And, at the predetermined time, the king of the South will fight against him, and the king of the North will come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great fleet, and he will enter into the lands, and will crush and pass through.
41 Invadirá o país que é a jóia da terra, onde muitos homens cairão. Mas os edomitas, os moabitas, e a maioria dos amonitas escapar-lhe-ão.	41 And he will enter into the glorious land, and many will fall. But only these will be saved from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the first part of the sons of Ammon.
42 Apoderar-se-á de diferentes países; o Egito não lhe escapará.	42 And he will cast his hand upon the lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape.
43 Pilhará os tesouros de ouro e de prata bem como tudo o que houver de precioso no Egito. Os líbios e os etíopes juntar-se-ão a ele.	43 And he will rule over the treasure chests of gold, and silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and likewise he will pass through Libya and Ethiopia.
44 Mas, alarmado pelas notícias vindas do oriente e do norte, retirar-se-á como uma fúria, para destruir e exterminar uma multidão de povos.	44 And rumors from the East and from the North will trouble him. And he will arrive with a great multitude to destroy and to execute many.
45 Erguerá os pavilhões de seu palácio entre o mar e a nobre montanha do santuário. Então alcançará o termo de sua vida e ninguém lhe prestará socorro.	45 And he will fasten his tabernacle, Apadno, between the seas, upon an illustrious and holy mountain, and he will come even to its summit, and no one will help him.”
