다니엘 11장 [새번역] Daniel 11 [보아라, 페르시아에 또 세 왕이 일어날 것이며, 그 뒤에 넷째는 다른 누구보다 큰 재물을 모을 것이다. 그가 재물을 모으고 권세를..]

1And in the first year of Darius the Mede, I took my stand to support and protect him ) 2'Now then, I tell you the truth: Three more kings will appear in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others When he has gained power by his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece 3Then a mighty king will appear, who will rule with great power and do as he pleases 4After he has appeared, his empire will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the power he exercised, because his empire will be uprooted and given to others 5'The king of the South will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he and will rule his own kingdom with great power 6After some years, they will become allies The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an alliance, but she will not retain her power, and he and his power will not last In those days she will be handed over, together with her royal escort and her father and the one who supported her 7'One from her family line will arise to take her place He will attack the forces of the king of the North and enter his fortress; he will fight against them and be victorious 8He will also seize their gods, their metal images and their valuable articles of silver and gold and carry them off to Egypt For some years he will leave the king of the North alone 9Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will retreat to his own country 10His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army, which will sweep on like an irresistible flood and carry the battle as far as his fortress 11'Then the king of the South will march out in a rage and fight against the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be defeated 12When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be filled with pride and will slaughter many thousands, yet he will not remain triumphant 13For the king of the North will muster another army, larger than the first; and after several years, he will advance with a huge army fully equipped 14'In those times many will rise against the king of the South The violent men among your own people will rebel in fulfillment of the vision, but without success 15Then the king of the North will come and build up siege ramps and will capture a fortified city The forces of the South will be powerless to resist; even their best troops will not have the strength to stand 16The invader will do as he pleases; no one will be able to stand against him He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land and will have the power to destroy it 17He will determine to come with the might of his entire kingdom and will make an alliance with the king of the South And he will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plans will not succeed or help him 18Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands and will take many of them, but a commander will put an end to his insolence and will turn his insolence back upon him 19After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own country but will stumble and fall, to be seen no more 20'His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain the royal splendor In a few years, however, he will be destroyed, yet not in anger or in battle 21'He will be succeeded by a contemptible person who has not been given the honor of royalty He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue 22Then an overwhelming army will be swept away before him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed 23After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully, and with only a few people he will rise to power 24When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers He will plot the overthrow of fortresses-but only for a time 25'With a large army he will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South The king of the South will wage war with a large and very powerful army, but he will not be able to stand because of the plots devised against him 26Those who eat from the king's provisions will try to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall in battle 27The two kings, with their hearts bent on evil, will sit at the same table and lie to each other, but to no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time 28The king of the North will return to his own country with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant He will take action against it and then return to his own country 29'At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time the outcome will be different from what it was before 30Ships of the western coastlands will
