KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.1 Ego autem ab anno primo Darii Medi astabam ei, ut confortaretur etroboraretur.
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 Et nunc veritatem annuntiabo tibi: Ecce adhuc tres reges stabuntpro Perside, et quartus ditabitur opibus nimis super omnes et, cum invalueritdivitiis suis, concitabit omnia adversum regnum Graeciae.
3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.3 Surget vero rexfortis et dominabitur dominatione multa et faciet, quod placuerit ei;
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 et cumsteterit, conteretur regnum eius et dividetur in quattuor ventos caeli, sed nonin posteros eius neque secundum potentiam illius, qua dominatus est; lacerabiturenim regnum eius etiam ad alios, exceptis his.
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 Et confortabitur rex austri, etunus de principibus eius praevalebit super eum et dominabitur dominatione superdominationem eius.
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 Et post finem annorum foederabuntur; filiaque regis austriveniet ad regem aquilonis facere amicitiam. Et non obtinebit fortitudinembrachii, nec stabit brachium eius; et tradetur ipsa, et qui adduxerunt eam, etadulescens eius, et qui confortabat eam in temporibus.
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 Et stabit de germineradicum eius plantatio loco eius et veniet ad exercitum et ingredietur oppidumregis aquilonis; et faciet adversus eos et confortabitur.
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 Insuper et deoseorum cum sculptilibus eorum et vasis pretiosis argenti et auri captivos ducetin Aegyptum: ipse per aliquot annos praevalebit adversus regem aquilonis.
9 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.9 Etintrabit in regnum regis austri et revertetur ad terram suam.
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 Filii autemeius provocabuntur et congregabunt multitudinem exercituum plurimorum; et venietproperans et inundans et revertetur et concitabitur et congredietur usque adoppidum eius.
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 provocabitur rex austri et egredietur et pugnabit adversuseum, adversus regem aquilonis; et praeparabit multitudinem nimiam, et dabiturmultitudo in manu eius.
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 Et tolletur multitudo, et exaltabitur cor eius, etdeiciet multa milia, sed non praevalebit.
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 Revertetur enim rex aquilonis etpraeparabit multitudinem maiorem quam prius; et in fine temporum annorumqueveniet properans cum exercitu magno et opibus nimis.
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 Et in temporibus illismulti consurgent adversus regem austri, filii quoque praevaricatorum populi tuiextollentur, ut impleant visionem, et corruent.
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 Et veniet rex aquilonis etcomportabit aggerem et capiet urbem munitissimam; et brachia austri nonsustinebunt, et populo electorum eius non erit fortitudo ad resistendum.
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 Etfaciet veniens super eum iuxta placitum suum, et non erit qui stet contra faciemeius; et stabit in terra inclita, et consumptio in manu eius.
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 Et ponet faciemsuam, ut veniat ad tenendum universum regnum eius, et recta faciet cum eo etfiliam feminarum dabit ei, ut evertat illud; et non stabit nec illius erit.
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 Et convertet faciem suam ad insulas et capiet multas, et cessare faciet princepsopprobrium eius, et opprobrium eius convertetur in eum.
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 Et convertet faciemsuam ad oppida terrae suae et impinget et corruet, et non invenietur.
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 Etstabit in loco eius, qui mittat exactorem in decus regni; et in paucis diebusconteretur, non in furore nec in proelio.
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 Et stabit in loco eius despectus, et non tribuetur ei honor regius; et venietclam et obtinebit regnum in fraudulentia.
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 Et brachia pugnantis expugnabuntura facie eius et conterentur; insuper et dux foederis.
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 Et post amicitias, cumeo faciet dolum et ascendet et superabit in modico populo.
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 In prosperitateuberes urbes ingredietur et faciet, quae non fecerunt patres eius et patrespatrum eius: rapinas et praedam et divitias eorum dissipabit et contra oppidacogitationes inibit, et hoc usque ad tempus.
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 Et concitabitur fortitudo eiuset cor eius adversum regem austri in exercitu magno; et rex austri provocabiturad bellum multis auxiliis et fortibus nimis, et non stabit, quia inibuntadversus eum consilia.
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 comedentes panem cum eo conterent illum;exercitusque eius opprimetur, et cadent interfecti plurimi.
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 Duorum quoqueregum cor erit, ut malefaciant et ad mensam unam mendacium loquentur et nonproficient, quia adhuc finis in aliud tempus.
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 Et revertetur in terram suamcum opibus multis, et cor eius adversum testamentum sanctum; et faciet etrevertetur in terram suam.
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 Statuto tempore revertetur et veniet ad austrum,et non erit priori simile novissimum.
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 Et venient super eum trieres, Romani;et percutietur et revertetur et indignabitur contra testamentum sanctum etfaciet reverteturque et cogitabit adversum eos, qui dereliquerunt testamentumsanctum.
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 Et brachia ex eo stabunt et polluent sanctuarium fortitudinis etauferent iuge sacrificium et dabunt abominationem vastatoris.
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 Et impios intestamentum errare faciet fraudulenter; populus autem scientium Deum suumobtinebit et faciet.
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 Et docti in populo docebunt plurimos; et ruent in gladioet in flamma et in captivitate et in rapina per dies.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.34 Cumque corruerint,sublevabuntur auxilio parvulo, et applicabuntur eis plurimi fraudulenter.
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 Etde eruditis ruent, ut aliqui eorum conflentur et purgentur et dealbentur usquead tempus praefinitum, quia adhuc aliud tempus erit.
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 Et faciet iuxta voluntatem suam rex et elevabitur et magnificabitur adversusomnem deum et adversus Deum deorum loquetur magnifica et prosperabitur, doneccompleatur iracundia; perpetrata quippe est definitio.
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 Et deos patrum suorumnon reputabit neque concupiscentiam feminarum nec quemquam deorum curabit, quiasuper universa magnificabit se;
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 deum autem oppidorum in loco suo venerabituret deum, quem ignoraverunt patres eius, colet auro et argento et lapide pretiosorebusque pretiosis
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 et faciet adversus oppida munita cum deo alieno; quicognoverit eum, multiplicabit gloriam eius et dabit eis potestatem in multis etterram dividet pretio.
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 Et in tempore praefinito proeliabitur adversus eum rex austri, et quasitempestas veniet contra illum rex aquilonis in curribus et in equitibus et inclasse magna, et ingredietur terras et conteret et pertransiet.
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 Et introibitin terram gloriosam, et multae corruent; hae autem solae salvabuntur de manueius: Edom et Moab et principium filiorum Ammon.
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.42 Et mittet manum suam interras, et terra Aegypti non effugiet;
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 et dominabitur thesaurorum auri etargenti et in omnibus pretiosis Aegypti, et Libyes et Aethiopes in vestigia eiustransibunt.
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 Et fama turbabit eum ab oriente et ab aquilone; et veniet in iramagna, ut conterat et interficiat plurimos,
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 et figet tabernacula palatii suiinter maria super montem sanctum decoris; et veniet usque ad summitatem eius, etnemo auxiliabitur ei.
