1At tungkol sa akin, nang unang taon ni Dario na taga Media, ako'y tumayo upang patibayin at palakasin siya. 2At ngayo'y aking ipatatalastas sa iyo ang katotohanan. Narito, tatayo pa ang tatlong hari sa Persia; at ang ikaapat ay magiging totoong mayaman kay sa kanilang lahat: at pagka siya'y lumakas sa kaniyang mga yaman, ay kaniyang kikilusin ang lahat laban sa kaharian ng Grecia. 3At isang makapangyarihang hari ay tatayo, na magpupuno na may malaking kapangyarihan, at gagawa ng ayon sa kaniyang kalooban. 4At pagka tatayo siya ay magigiba ang kaniyang kaharian, at mababahagi sa apat na hangin ng langit, nguni't hindi sa kaniyang anak, ni ayon man sa kaniyang kapangyarihan na kaniyang ipinagpuno; sapagka't ang kaniyang kaharian ay mabubunot para sa mga iba bukod sa mga ito. 5At ang hari sa timugan ay magiging malakas, at ang isa sa kaniyang mga prinsipe; at siya'y magiging malakas kay sa kaniya, at magtataglay ng kapangyarihan; ang kaniyang kapangyarihan ay magiging dakilang kapangyarihan. 6At sa katapusan ng mga taon, sila'y magpipipisan; at ang anak na babae ng hari sa timugan ay paroroon sa hari sa hilagaan upang gumawa ng pakikipagkasundo: nguni't hindi niya mapananatili ang lakas ng kaniyang bisig; o siya ma'y tatayo, o ang bisig man niya; kundi siya'y mabibigay, at yaong mga nangagdala sa kaniya, at ang nanganak sa kaniya, at ang nagpalakas sa kaniya sa mga panahong yaon. 7Nguni't sa suwi ng kaniyang mga ugat ay tatayo ang isa na kahalili niya na paroroon sa hukbo, at papasok sa katibayan ng hari sa hilagaan, at gagawa ng laban sa kanila, at mananaig. 8At gayon din ang kanilang mga dios sangpu ng kanilang mga larawang binubo, at ng kanilang mga mainam na sisidlan na pilak at ginto ay dadalhing samsam sa Egipto; at siya'y magluluwat na ilang taon kay sa hari sa hilagaan. 9At siya'y paroroon sa kaharian ng hari sa timugan, nguni't siya'y babalik sa kaniyang sariling lupain. 10At ang kaniyang mga anak ay makikipagdigma, at mapipisan ng isang karamihang malaking hukbo, na magpapatuloy, at aabot, at lalagpas; at sila'y magsisibalik at makikipagdigma, hanggang sa kaniyang katibayan. 11At ang hari sa timugan ay makikilos ng pagkagalit, at lalabas at makikipaglaban sa kaniya, sa makatuwid baga'y sa hari sa hilagaan; at siya'y maglalabas ng malaking karamihan, at ang karamiha'y mabibigay sa kaniyang kamay. 12At ang karamihan ay madadala, at ang kaniyang puso ay magpapalalo; at siya'y magbubuwal ng libo-libo, nguni't hindi mananaig. 13At ang hari sa hilagaan ay babalik, at maglalabas ng isang karamihan na lalong malaki kay sa una; at siya'y magpapatuloy hanggang sa wakas ng mga panahon, ng mga taon, na ma'y malaking hukbo, at maraming kayamanan. 14At sa mga panahong yaon ay maraming magsisitayo laban sa hari sa timugan: gayon din ang mga anak na mangdadahas sa gitna ng iyong bayan ay magsisibangon upang itatag ang pangitain; nguni't sila'y mangabubuwal. 15Sa gayo'y paroroon ang hari sa hilagaan, at gagawa ng isang bunton, at sasakop ng isang bayan na nakukutaang mabuti: at ang pulutong ng timugan ay hindi makatatayo ni ang kaniya mang piling bayan, ni magtataglay man sila ng anomang kalakasan, upang tumayo. 16Nguni't ang dumarating laban sa kaniya, ay gagawa ng ayon sa sariling kalooban, at walang tatayo sa harap niya; at siya'y tatayo sa maluwalhating lupain, at sasa kaniyang kamay ang paglipol. 17At kaniyang itatanaw ang kaniyang mukha upang pumaroon na kasama ng lakas ng kaniyang buong kaharian, at ng mga tapat na kasama niya; at siya'y gagawa ng mga yaon: at ibibigay niya sa kaniya ang anak na babae ng mga babae, upang hamakin; nguni't siya'y hindi tatayo, ni siya'y mapapasa kaniya man. 18Pagkatapos nito'y kaniyang ipipihit ang kaniyang mukha sa mga pulo, at sasakop ng marami: nguni't isang prinsipe ay magpapatigil ng pagkutya niya; oo, bukod dito'y kaniyang pababalikin ang kaniyang kakutyaan sa kaniya. 19Kung magkagayo'y kaniyang ipipihit ang kaniyang mukha sa dako ng mga kuta ng kaniyang sariling lupain; nguni't siya'y matitisod at mabubuwal, at hindi masusumpungan. 20Kung magkagayo'y tatayo na kahalili niya ang isa na magpaparaan ng maniningil sa kaluwalhatian ng kaharian; nguni't sa loob ng kaunting araw ay mapapahamak, na hindi sa kagalitan, o sa pagbabaka man. 21At kahalili niya na tatayo ang isang hamak na tao, na hindi nila pinagbigyan ng karangalan ng kaharian: nguni't siya'y darating sa panahong katiwasayan, at magtatamo ng kaharian sa pamamagitan ng mga daya. 22At sa pamamagitan ng pulutong na huhugos ay mapapalis sila sa harap niya, at mabubuwal; oo, pati ng prinsipe ng tipan. 23At pagkatapos ng pakikipagkasundo sa kaniya, siya'y gagawang may karayaan; sapagka't siya'y sasampa, at magiging matibay, na kasama ng isang munting bayan. 24Sa panahon ng katiwasayan darating siya hanggang sa mga pinakamainam na dako ng lalawigan; at kaniyang gagawin ang hindi ginawa ng kaniyang mga magulang, o ng mga magulang ng kaniyang mga magulang; siya'y magbabahagi sa kanila ng huli, at samsam, at kayamanan: oo, siya'y hahaka ng kaniyang mga haka laban sa mga kuta, hanggang sa takdang panahon. 25At kaniyang kikilusin ang kaniyang kapangyarihan at ang kaniyang tapang laban sa hari sa timugan na may malaking hukbo; at ang hari sa timugan ay makikipagdigma sa pakikipagbaka na may totoong malaki at makapangyarihang hukbo; nguni't hindi siya tatayo, sapagka't sila'y magsisihaka ng mga panukala laban sa kaniya. 26Oo, silang nagsisikain ng kaniyang masarap na pagkain ay siyang magpapahamak sa kaniya, at ang kaniyang hukbo ay mapapalis; at marami ay mabubuwal na patay. 27At tungkol sa dalawang haring ito, ang kanilang mga puso ay magtataglay ng kasamaan, at sila'y mangagsasalita ng mga kabulaanan sa isang dulang: nguni't hindi giginhawa; sapagka't ang wakas ay magiging sa panahong takda pa. 28Kung magkagayo'y babalik siya sa kaniyang lupain na may malaking kayamanan; at ang kaniyang puso ay magiging laban sa banal na tipan; at siya'y gagawa ng kaniyang maibigan, at babalik sa kaniyang sariling lupain. 29Sa takdang panahon ay babalik siya, at papasok sa timugan; nguni't hindi magiging gaya ng una ang huli. 30Sapagka't mga sasakyan sa Chittim ay magsisiparoon laban sa kaniya; kaya't siya'y mahahapis, at babalik, at magtataglay ng galit laban sa banal na tipan, at gagawa ng kaniyang maibigan: siya nga'y babalik, at lilingapin yaong nangagpabaya ng banal na tipan. 31At mga pulutong ay magsisitayo sa kaniyang bahagi, at kanilang lalapastanganin ang santuario, sa makatuwid baga'y ang kuta, at aalisin ang palaging handog na susunugin, at kanilang ilalagay ang kasuklamsuklam na naninira. 32At ang gayon na gumagawa na may kasamaan laban sa tipan, ay mahihikayat niya sa pamamagitan ng mga daya; nguni't ang bayan na nakakakilala ng kanilang dios ay magiging matibay, at gagawa ng kabayanihan. 33At silang marunong sa bayan ay magtuturo sa marami; gayon ma'y mangabubuwal sila sa pamamagitan ng tabak at ng liyab, ng pagkabihag at ng samsam, na maraming araw. 34Pagka nga sila'y mangabubuwal, sila'y tutulungan ng kaunting tulong; nguni't marami ay magsisipisan sa kanila na may mga daya. 35At ang ilan sa kanila na pantas ay mangabubuwal, upang dalisayin sila, at linisin, at paputiin, hanggang sa panahon ng kawakasan; sapagka't ukol sa panahon pang takda. 36At ang hari ay gagawa ng ayon sa kaniyang kalooban; at siya'y magmamalaki, at magpapakataas ng higit kay sa bawa't dios, at magsasalita ng mga kagilagilalas na bagay laban sa Dios ng mga dios; at siya'y giginhawa hanggang sa ang galit ay maganap; sapagka't ang ipinasiya ay gagawin. 37Wawaling bahala niya ang mga dios ng kaniyang mga magulang, o ang nasa man sa mga babae, o pakukundanganan man ang sinomang dios; sapagka't siya'y magmamalaki sa lahat. 38Kundi bilang kahalili ay pararangalan niya ang dios ng mga katibayan; at isang dios na hindi nakilala ng kaniyang mga magulang ay kaniyang pararangalan ng ginto, at pilak, at ng mga mahalagang bato at ng mga maligayang bagay. 39At siya'y magbabagsak ng mga matibay na kuta sa tulong ng ibang dios; sinomang kumilala sa kaniya, mananagana sa kaluwalhatian; at pagpupunuin niya sila sa marami, at kaniyang babahagihin ang lupa sa halaga. 40At sa panahon ng kawakasan ay makikipagkaalit sa kaniya ang hari sa timugan; at ang hari sa hilagaan ay paroroon laban sa kaniya na gaya ng isang ipoipo, na may mga karo, at may mga mangangabayo, at may maraming sasakyan; at kaniyang papasukin ang mga lupain, at aabot at lalagpas. 41Siya'y papasok din naman sa maluwalhating lupain, at maraming lupain ay mababagsak; nguni't ang mga ito ay mangaliligtas mula sa kaniyang kamay: ang Edom, at ang Moab, at ang puno ng mga anak ni Ammon. 42Kaniyang iuunat din naman ang kaniyang kamay sa mga lupain; at ang lupain ng Egipto ay hindi makatatakas. 43Nguni't siya'y magtataglay ng kapangyarihan sa mga kayamanang ginto at pilak, at sa lahat na mahalagang bagay sa Egipto; at ang mga taga Libia at ang mga taga Etiopia ay susunod sa kaniyang mga hakbang. 44Nguni't mga balita na mula sa silanganan at mula sa hilagaan ay babagabag sa kaniya; at siya'y lalabas na may malaking kapusukan upang gumiba at lumipol sa marami. 45At kaniyang itatayo ang mga tolda ng kaniyang palasio sa pagitan ng dagat at ng maluwalhating banal na bundok; gayon ma'y darating siya sa kaniyang wakas, at walang tutulong sa kaniya.
1“As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him. 2Now will I show you the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. 3A mighty king shall stand up, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 4When he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall 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 shall be plucked up, even for others besides these. 5The 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. 6At the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened her in those times. 7But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, who shall come to the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail. 8Also their gods, with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north. 9He shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land. 10His sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through; and they shall return and war, even to his fortress. 11The king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall send out a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand. 12The multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail. 13The king of the north shall return, and shall send out a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with much substance. 14In those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among your people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall. 15So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city: and the forces of the south shall not stand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to stand. 16But he who comes against him shall do according to his own will, and no one shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction. 17He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions; and he shall perform them: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him. 18After this shall he turn his face to the islands, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yes, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn on him. 19Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found. 20Then shall stand up in his place one who shall cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle. 21In his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 22The overwhelming forces shall be overwhelmed from before him, and shall be broken; yes, also the prince of the covenant. 23After the treaty made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people. 24In time of security shall he come even on 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 prey, and plunder, and substance: yes, he shall devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time. 25He 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 war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise devices against him. 26Yes, they who eat of his dainties shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow; and many shall fall down slain. 27As for both these kings, their 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. 28Then he will return into his land with great substance; and his heart will be against the holy covenant; and he will take action, and return to his own land. 29At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former. 30For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall take action: he shall even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31Forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. 32Such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and take action. 33Those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, many days. 34Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves to them with flatteries. 35Some of those who are wise shall 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. 36The king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper until the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done. 37Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above all. 38But in his place shall he honor the god of fortresses; and a god whom his fathers didn’t know shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 39He shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god: whoever acknowledges him he will increase with glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price. 40At the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with 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 through. 41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 42He shall stretch out his hand also on the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43But 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. 44But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many. 45He shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no one shall help him.
1Ik nu, ik stond in het eerste jaar van Darius den Meder, om hem te versterken en te stijven. 2En nu, ik zal u de waarheid te kennen geven; ziet, er zullen nog drie koningen in Perzie staan, en de vierde zal verrijkt worden met grote rijkdom, meer dan al de anderen; en nadat hij zich in zijn rijkdom zal versterkt hebben, zal hij ze allen verwekken tegen het koninkrijk van Griekenland. 3Daarna zal er een geweldig koning opstaan, die met grote heerschappij heersen zal, en hij zal doen naar zijn welgevallen. 4En als hij zal staan, zal zijn rijk gebroken, en in de vier winden des hemels verdeeld worden, maar niet aan zijn nakomelingen, ook niet naar zijn heerschappij, waarmede hij heerste; want zijn rijk zal uitgerukt worden, en dat voor anderen dan deze. 5En de koning van het Zuiden, die een van zijn vorsten is, zal sterk worden; doch een ander zal sterker worden dan hij, en hij zal heersen; zijn heerschappij zal een grote heerschappij zijn. 6Op het einde nu van sommige jaren, zullen zij zich met elkander bevrienden, en de dochter des konings van het Zuiden zal komen tot den koning van het Noorden, om billijke voorwaarden te maken; doch zij zal de macht des arms niet behouden, daarom zal hij, noch zijn arm, niet bestaan; maar zij zal overgegeven worden, en die haar gebracht hebben, en die haar gegenereerd heeft, en die haar gesterkt heeft in die tijden. 7Doch uit de spruit van haar wortelen zal er een opstaan in zijn staat, die zal met heirkracht komen, en hij zal komen tegen die sterke plaatsen des konings van het Noorden, en hij zal tegen dezelve doen, en hij zal ze bemachtigen. 8Ook zal hij hun goden, met hun vorsten, met hun gewenste vaten van zilver en goud, in de gevangenis naar Egypte brengen; en hij zal enige jaren staande blijven boven den koning van het Noorden. 9Alzo zal de koning van het Zuiden in het koninkrijk komen, en hij zal wederom in zijn land trekken. 10Doch zijn zonen zullen zich in strijd mengen, en zij zullen een menigte van grote heiren verzamelen; en een van hen zal snellijk komen, en als een vloed overstromen en doortrekken; en hij zal wederom komen, en zich in den strijd mengen, tot aan zijn sterke plaats toe. 11En de koning van het Zuiden zal verbitterd worden, en hij zal uittrekken, en strijden tegen hem, tegen den koning van het Noorden, die ook een grote menigte oprichten zal, doch die menigte zal in zijn hand gegeven worden. 12Als die menigte zal weggenomen zijn, zal zijn hart zich verheffen, en hij zal er enige tien duizenden nedervellen; evenwel zal hij niet gesterkt worden. 13Want de koning van het Noorden zal wederkeren, en hij zal een groter menigte dan de eerste was, oprichten; en aan het einde van de tijden der jaren, zal hij snellijk komen met een grote heirkracht, en met groot goed. 14Ook zullen er in die tijden velen opstaan tegen den koning van het Zuiden; en de scheurmakers uws volks zullen verheven worden, om het gezicht te bevestigen, doch zij zullen vallen. 15En de koning van het Noorden zal komen, en een wal opwerpen, en vaste steden innemen; en de armen van het Zuiden zullen niet bestaan, noch zijn uitgelezen volk, ja, er zal geen kracht zijn om te bestaan. 16Maar hij, die tegen hem komt, zal doen naar zijn welgevallen, en niemand zal voor zijn aangezicht bestaan; hij zal ook staan in het land des sieraads, en de verderving zal in zijn hand wezen. 17En hij zal zijn aangezicht stellen, om met de kracht zijns gansen rijks te komen, en hij zal billijke voorwaarden medebrengen, en hij zal het doen; want hij zal hem een dochter der vrouwen geven, om haar te verderven, maar zij zal niet vast staan, en zij zal voor hem niet zijn. 18Daarna zal hij zijn aangezicht tot de eilanden keren, en hij zal er vele innemen; doch een overste zal zijn smaad tegen hem doen ophouden, behalve dat hij zijn smaad op hem zal doen wederkeren. 19En hij zal zijn aangezicht keren naar de sterkten zijns lands, en hij zal aanstoten, en vallen, en niet gevonden worden. 20En in zijn staat zal er een opstaan, doende een geldeiser doortrekken, in koninklijke heerlijkheid; maar hij zal in enige dagen gebroken worden, nochtans niet door toornigheden, noch door oorlog. 21Daarna zal er een verachte in zijn staat staan, denwelken men de koninklijke waardigheid niet zal geven; doch hij zal in stilheid komen, en het koninkrijk door vleierijen bemachtigen. 22En de armen der overstroming zullen overstroomd worden van voor zijn aangezicht, en zij zullen verbroken worden, en ook de vorst des verbonds. 23En na de vereniging met hem zal hij bedrog plegen, en hij zal optrekken, en hij zal met weinig volks gesterkt worden. 24Met stilheid zal hij ook in de vette plaatsen des landschaps komen, en hij zal doen, dat zijn vaders, of de vaders zijner vaderen, niet gedaan hebben; roof, en buit, en goederen, zal hij onder hen uitstrooien, en hij zal tegen de vastigheden zijn gedachten denken, doch tot een zekeren tijd toe. 25En hij zal zijn kracht en zijn hart verwekken tegen den koning van het Zuiden, met een grote heirkracht; en de koning van het Zuiden zal zich in den strijd mengen met een grote en zeer machtige heirkracht; doch hij zal niet bestaan, want zij zullen gedachten tegen hem denken. 26En die de stukken zijner spijze zullen eten, zullen hem breken, en de heirkracht deszelven zal overstromen, en vele verslagenen zullen vallen. 27En het hart van beide deze koningen zal wezen om kwaad te doen, en aan een tafel zullen zij leugen spreken; en het zal niet gelukken, want het zal nog een einde hebben ter bestemder tijd. 28En hij zal in zijn land wederkeren met groot goed, en zijn hart zal zijn tegen het heilig verbond; en hij zal het doen, en wederkeren in zijn land. 29Ter bestemder tijd zal hij wederkeren, en tegen het Zuiden komen, doch het zal niet zijn gelijk de eerste, noch gelijk de laatste reize. 30Want er zullen schepen van Chittim tegen hem komen, daarom zal hij met smart bevangen worden, en hij zal wederkeren, en gram worden tegen het heilig verbond, en hij zal het doen; want wederkerende zal hij acht geven op de verlaters des heiligen verbonds. 31En er zullen armen uit hem ontstaan, en zij zullen het heiligdom ontheiligen, en de sterkte, en zij zullen het gedurige offer wegnemen, en een verwoestenden gruwel stellen. 32En die goddelooslijk handelen tegen het verbond, zal hij doen huichelen door vleierijen; maar het volk, die hun God kennen, zullen zij grijpen, en zullen het doen. 33En de leraars des volks zullen er velen onderwijzen, en zij zullen vallen door het zwaard en door vlam, door gevangenis en door beroving, vele dagen. 34Als zij nu zullen vallen, zullen zij met een kleine hulp geholpen worden; doch velen zullen zich door vleierijen tot hen vervoegen. 35En van de leraars zullen er sommigen vallen, om hen te louteren en te reinigen, en wit te maken, tot den tijd van het einde toe; want het zal nog zijn voor een bestemden tijd. 36En die koning zal doen naar zijn welgevallen, en hij zal zichzelven verheffen, en groot maken boven allen God, en hij zal tegen den God der goden wonderlijke dingen spreken; en hij zal voorspoedig zijn, totdat de gramschap voleind zij, want het is vastelijk besloten, het zal geschieden. 37En op de goden zijner vaderen zal hij geen acht geven, noch op de begeerte der vrouwen; hij zal ook op geen God acht geven, maar hij zal zich boven alles groot maken. 38En hij zal den god Mauzzim in zijn standplaats eren; namelijk den god, welken zijn vaders niet gekend hebben, zal hij eren met goud, en met zilver, en met kostelijk gesteente, en met gewenste dingen. 39En hij zal de vastigheden der sterkten maken met den vreemden god; dengenen, die hij kennen zal, zal hij de eer vermenigvuldigen, en hij zal ze doen heersen over velen, en hij zal het land uitdelen om prijs. 40En op den tijd van het einde, zal de koning van het Zuiden tegen hem met hoornen stoten; en de koning van het Noorden zal tegen hem aanstormen, met wagenen, en met ruiteren, en met vele schepen; en hij zal in de landen komen, en hij zal ze overstromen en doortrekken. 41En hij zal komen in het land des sieraads, en vele landen zullen ter nedergeworpen worden; doch deze zullen zijn hand ontkomen, Edom en Moab, en de eerstelingen der kinderen Ammons. 42En hij zal zijn hand aan de landen leggen, ook zal het land van Egypte niet ontkomen. 43En hij zal heersen over de verborgen schatten des gouds en des zilvers, en over al de gewenste dingen van Egypte; en die van Libye, en de Moren zullen in zijn gangen wezen. 44Maar de geruchten van het Oosten en van het Noorden zullen hem verschrikken; daarom zal hij uittrekken met grote grimmigheid om velen te verdelgen en te verbannen. 45En hij zal de tenten van zijn paleis planten tussen de zeeen aan den berg des heiligen sieraads; en hij zal tot zijn einde komen, en zal geen helper hebben.
