Daniel 11

KING JAMES BIBLE	JERUSALEM
1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.	1 mon appui pour me prêter main-forte et me soutenir.
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.	2 A présent, je vais t'annoncer la vérité. "Voici: trois rois encore se lèveront pour la Perse; lequatrième aura plus de richesses qu'eux tous, et lorsque sa richesse l'aura rendu puissant, il se lèvera contre tousles royaumes de Yavân.
3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.	3 Un roi vaillant se lèvera et gouvernera un vaste empire et fera ce qu'il lui plaît.
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.	4 Tandis qu'il s'élèvera, son royaume sera brisé et partagé aux quatre vents du ciel, mais non pas auprofit de sa descendance; il ne sera pas gouverné comme il l'avait gouverné, car son royaume sera extirpé et livréà d'autres qu'elle.
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.	5 Le roi du Midi deviendra fort; un de ses princes l'emportera sur lui et son empire sera plus grandque le sien.
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.	6 Quelques années plus tard ils contracteront une alliance et la fille du roi du Midi s'en viendra auprèsdu roi du Nord pour exécuter les accords. Mais la force de son bras ne tiendra pas, ni sa descendance nesubsistera: elle sera livrée, elle et ceux qui l'ont amenée, et son enfant, et celui qui a eu pouvoir sur elle. En sontemps,
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:	7 un rejeton de ses racines se lèvera à sa place, qui s'en viendra vers les remparts et pénétrera dans laforteresse du roi du Nord, et il les traitera en vainqueur.
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.	8 Leurs dieux mêmes, leurs statues et leurs vases précieux d'argent et d'or seront le butin qu'ilemportera en Egypte. Pendant quelques années il se tiendra à distance du roi du Nord.
9 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.	9 Il se rendra vers le royaume du roi du Midi puis s'en retournera dans son pays.
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.	10 Ses fils se lèveront et réuniront une multitude de forces puissantes, et il s'avancera, déferlera,passera et se lèvera de nouveau jusqu'à sa forteresse.
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.	11 Et le roi du Midi se mettra en fureur et partira en guerre contre le roi du Nord qui ralliera unegrande multitude; mais la multitude sera livrée entre ses mains.
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.	12 La multitude sera anéantie; son coeur s'exaltera, il abattra des myriades, mais il n'aura point deforce.
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.	13 Le roi du Nord reviendra, ayant levé des multitudes plus nombreuses que les premières, et aprèsdes années il s'avancera avec une grande armée et un abondant équipement.
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.	14 En ces temps un grand nombre se dresseront contre le roi du Midi et les violents parmi ceux de tonpeuple se lèveront pour accomplir la vision, mais ils trébucheront.
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.	15 Viendra le roi du Nord qui construira des retranchements pour assiéger une ville fortifiée. Les brasdu Midi ne résisteront pas; l'élite du peuple n'aura pas la force de résister.
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.	16 Celui qui s'avance contre lui le traitera selon son bon plaisir, personne ne lui résistera: il se tiendradans le Pays de Splendeur, la destruction entre les mains.
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.	17 Il aura en tête de conquérir son royaume tout entier; puis il fera un pacte avec lui en lui donnantune fille des femmes afin de le détruire, mais cela ne tiendra pas et ne sera pas à lui.
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.	18 Il se tournera vers les îles et en prendra un grand nombre; mais un magistrat fera cesser sonoutrage sans qu'il puisse lui revaloir son outrage.
19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.	19 Il tournera sa face vers les bastions de son pays, mais il trébuchera, tombera, on ne le trouveraplus.
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.	20 A sa place en viendra un qui fera passer un exacteur portant atteinte à la splendeur royale: enquelques jours il sera brisé, mais non au vu de tous ou à la guerre.
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.	21 "A sa place se lèvera un misérable: on ne lui donnera pas les honneurs de la royauté. Il s'en viendraà son aise et s'emparera du royaume par des intrigues.
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.	22 Les forces seront en débâcle devant lui et seront brisées - même le Prince d'une alliance.
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.	23 Par ses complicités il agira en traître et ira en se fortifiant, bien qu'avec peu de monde.
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.	24 A son aise, il envahira les grasses provinces, agissant comme n'avaient agi ni ses pères ni les pèresde ses pères, dispersant parmi eux butin, profits et richesses, tendant ses stratagèmes contre les forteresses, pourun temps.
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.	25 Il excitera sa force et son coeur contre le roi du Midi, avec une grande armée. Le roi du Midi selèvera pour la guerre avec une armée très grande et très puissante, mais il ne tiendra pas, car des stratagèmesseront tendus contre lui.
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.	26 Et ceux qui mangeaient de ses mets le mettront en pièces; son armée sera débordée, et nombreuxtomberont les morts.
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.	27 Les deux rois, leur coeur tourné vers le mal, assis à la même table, diront des mensonges; mais ilsn'aboutiront point, car le temps fixé est encore à venir.
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.	28 Il rentrera dans son pays avec de grandes richesses, le coeur contre l'Alliance sainte; il agira, puisil rentrera dans son pays.
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.	29 Le moment venu, il retournera vers le Midi, mais il n'en sera pas de la fin comme ducommencement.
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.	30 Les vaisseaux des Kittim viendront contre lui et il sera découragé. Il reviendra et sévirafurieusement contre l'Alliance sainte, et de nouveau, il aura en considération ceux qui abandonnent l'Alliancesainte.
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.	31 Des forces viendront de sa part profaner le sanctuaire-citadelle, ils aboliront le sacrifice perpétuel,et y mettront l'abomination de la désolation.
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.	32 Ceux qui transgressent l'Alliance, il les pervertira par ses paroles douces, mais les gens quiconnaissent leur Dieu s'affermiront et agiront.
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.	33 Les doctes d'entre le peuple enseigneront la multitude; ils trébucheront par l'épée et la flamme, etla captivité et la spoliation - durant des jours.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.	34 Qu'ils trébuchent, peu de gens leur viendront en aide; nombreux seront ceux qui s'associeront àeux par des intrigues.
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.	35 Parmi les doctes, certains trébucheront, en sorte que dans le nombre il y en ait qui soient purifiés,lavés et blanchis - jusqu'au temps de la Fin, car le temps fixé est encore à venir.
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.	36 Le roi agira selon son bon plaisir, s'enorgueillissant et s'exaltant par-dessus tous les dieux, contrele Dieu des dieux il dira des choses inouïes et il prospérera jusqu'à ce que soit comble la colère - car ce qui estdéterminé s'accomplira.
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.	37 Sans égards pour les dieux de ses pères, sans égards pour le favori des femmes ou pour tout autredieu, c'est lui-même qu'il exaltera au-dessus de tout.
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.	38 A leur place il vénérera le dieu des forteresses, il vénérera un dieu que ses pères n'ont point connu,par l'or et l'argent, pierres précieuses et choses de prix.
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.	39 Il prendra comme défenseurs des forteresses le peuple d'un dieu étranger, à ceux qu'il reconnaîtra,il fera grands honneurs en leur donnant autorité sur la multitude, et en partageant la terre pour un rendement.
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.	40 "Au temps de la Fin, le roi du Midi s'affrontera avec lui; le roi du Nord déferlera sur lui avec seschars, ses cavaliers et ses nombreux navires. Il viendra dans les pays, qu'il envahira et traversera.
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.	41 Il viendra dans le Pays de Splendeur, et il en tombera un grand nombre, mais ceux-ci échapperontde ses mains: Edom et Moab et les restes des fils d'Ammon.
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.	42 Il étendra sa main sur les pays: le pays d'Egypte n'y échappera point.
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.	43 Il aura en son pouvoir les trésors d'or et d'argent et toutes les choses précieuses d'Egypte. Libyenset Kushites seront à ses pieds.
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.	44 Mais des rumeurs viendront le troubler de l'Orient et du Nord; il s'en ira en grande fureur détruireet exterminer une multitude.
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.	45 Il dressera les tentes de ses quartiers entre la mer et les monts de la Sainte Splendeur. Il s'en irajusqu'à son terme: pour lui aucun secours.
