دَانِيآل 8

١ 1 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ بَيْلْشَاصَّرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، ظَهَرَتْ لِي أَنَا دَانِيآلَ رُؤْيَا بَعْدَ ٱلَّتِي ظَهَرَتْ لِي فِي ٱلِٱبْتِدَاءِ.

In the third year of the rule of Belshazzar the king, a vision was seen by me, Daniel, after the one I saw at first.

٢ 2 فَرَأَيْتُ فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا، وَكَانَ فِي رُؤْيَايَ وَأَنا فِي شُوشَانَ ٱلْقَصْرِ ٱلَّذِي فِي وِلَايَةِ عِيلَامَ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِي الرُؤيَا وَأَنَا عِنْدَ نَهْرِ أُولَايَ.

And I saw in the vision; and when I saw it, I was in the strong town Shushan, which is in the country of Elam; and in the vision I was by the water-door of the Ulai.

٣ 3 فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَرَأَيْتُ وَإِذَا بِكَبْشٍ وَاقِفٍ عِنْدَ ٱلنَّهْرِ وَلَهُ قَرْنَانِ وَٱلقَرْنَانِ عَالِيَانِ، وَٱلْوَاحِدُ أَعْلَى مِنَ ٱلْآخَرِ، وَٱلْأَعْلَى طَالِعٌ أَخِيرًا.

And lifting up my eyes, I saw, there before the stream, a male sheep with two horns: and the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, the higher one coming up last.

٤ 4 رَأَيْتُ ٱلْكَبْشَ يَنْطَحُ غَرْبًا وَشِمَالًا وَجَنُوبًا فَلَمْ يَقِفْ حَيَوَانٌ قُدَّامَهُ وَلَا مُنْقِذٌ مِنْ يَدِهِ، وَفَعَلَ كَمَرْضَاتِهِ وَعَظُمَ.

I saw the sheep pushing to the west and to the north and to the south; and no beasts were able to keep their place before him, and no one was able to get people out of his power; but he did whatever his pleasure was and made himself great.

٥ 5 وَبَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ مُتَأَمِّلًا إِذَا بِتَيْسٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَعْزِ جَاءَ مِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَمَسَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَلِلتَّيْسِ قَرْنٌ مُعْتَبَرٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

And while I was giving thought to this, I saw a he-goat coming from the west over the face of all the earth without touching the earth: and the he-goat had a great horn between his eyes.

٦ 6 وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْكَبْشِ صَاحِبِ ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ وَاقِفًا عِنْدَ ٱلنَّهْرِ وَرَكَضَ إِلَيْهِ بِشِدَّةِ قُوَّتِهِ.

And he came to the two-horned sheep which I saw before the stream, rushing at him in the heat of his power.

٧ 7 وَرَأَيْتُهُ قَدْ وَصَلَ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْكَبْشِ، فَٱسْتَشَاطَ عَلَيْهِ وَضَرَبَ ٱلْكَبْشَ وَكَسَرَ قَرْنَيْهِ، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ لِلْكَبْشِ قُوَّةٌ عَلَى ٱلْوُقُوفِ أَمَامَهُ، وَطَرَحَهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَدَاسَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِلْكَبْشِ مُنْقِذٌ مِنْ يَدِهِ.

And I saw him come right up to the sheep, and he was moved with wrath against him, attacking the sheep so that his two horns were broken; and the sheep had not strength to keep his place before him, but was pushed down on the earth and crushed under his feet: and there was no one to get the sheep out of his power.

٨ 8 فتَعَظَّمَ تَيْسُ ٱلمَعْزِ جِدًّا. وَلَمَّا ٱعْتَزَّ ٱنْكَسَرَ ٱلْقَرْنُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ، وَطَلَعَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ أَرْبَعَةُ قُرُونٍ مُعْتَبَرَةٍ نَحْوَ رِيَاحِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِ.

And the he-goat became very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and in its place came up four other horns turned to the four winds of heaven.

٩ 9 وَمِنْ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا خَرَجَ قَرْنٌ صَغِيرٌ، وَعَظُمَ جِدًّا نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَنَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ وَنَحْوَ فَخْرِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

And out of one of them came another horn, a little one, which became very great, stretching to the south and to the east and to the beautiful land.

١٠ 10 وَتَعَظَّمَ حَتَّى إِلَى جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَطَرَحَ بَعْضًا مِنَ ٱلْجُنْدِ وَٱلنُّجُومِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَدَاسَهُمْ.

And it became great, even as high as the army of heaven, pulling down some of the army, even of the stars, to the earth and crushing them under its feet.

١١ 11 وَحَتَّى إِلَى رَئِيسِ ٱلْجُنْدِ تَعَظَّمَ، وَبِهِ أُبْطِلَتِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةُ ٱلدَّائِمَةُ، وَهُدِمَ مَسْكَنُ مَقْدِسِهِ.

It made itself great, even as great as the lord of the army; and by it the regular burned offering was taken away, and the place overturned and the holy place made waste.

١٢ 12 وَجُعِلَ جُنْدٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ بِٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ، فَطَرَحَ ٱلْحَقَّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَفَعَلَ وَنَجَحَ.

... against the regular burned offering; and ... crushed down to the earth, and it did its pleasure and things went well for it.

١٣ 13 فَسَمِعْتُ قُدُّوسًا وَاحِدًا يَتَكَلَّمُ. فَقَالَ قُدُّوسٌ وَاحِدٌ لِفُلَانٍ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِ: «إِلَى مَتَى ٱلرُّؤْيَا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ وَمَعْصِيَةِ ٱلْخَرَابِ، لِبَذْلِ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَٱلْجُنْدِ مَدُوسَيْنِ؟»

Then there came to my ears the voice of a holy one talking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was talking, How long will the vision be while the regular burned offering is taken away, and the unclean thing causing fear is put up, and the holy place crushed under foot?

١٤ 14 فَقَالَ لِي: «إِلَى أَلْفَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِ مِئَةِ صَبَاحٍ وَمَسَاءٍ، فَيَتَبَرَّأُ ٱلْقُدْسُ».

And he said to him, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be made clean.

١٥ 15 وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَأَيْتُ أَنَا دَانِيآلَ ٱلرُّؤْيَا وَطَلَبْتُ ٱلْمَعْنَى، إِذَا بِشِبْهِ إِنْسَانٍ وَاقِفٍ قُبَالَتِي.

And it came about that when I, Daniel, had seen this vision, I had a desire for the sense of it to be unfolded; and I saw one before me in the form of a man.

١٦ 16 وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ إِنْسَانٍ بَيْنَ أُولَايَ، فَنَادَى وَقَالَ: «يَا جِبْرَائِيلُ، فَهِّمْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلرُّؤْيَا».

And the voice of a man came to my ears between the sides of the Ulai, crying out and saying, Gabriel, make the vision clear to this man.

١٧ 17 فَجَاءَ إِلَى حَيْثُ وَقَفْتُ، وَلَمَّا جَاءَ خِفْتُ وَخَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي. فَقَالَ لِي: «ٱفْهَمْ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ. إِنَّ ٱلرُّؤْيَا لِوَقْتِ ٱلْمُنْتَهَى».

So he came and took his place near where I was; and when he came, I was full of fear and went down on my face: but he said to me, Let it be clear to you, O son of man; for the vision has to do with the time of the end.

١٨ 18 وَإِذْ كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي كُنْتُ مُسَبَّخًا عَلَى وَجْهِي إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَلَمَسَنِي وَأَوْقَفَنِي عَلَى مَقَامِي.

Now while he was talking to me, I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth: but touching me, he put me on my feet where I had been.

١٩ 19 وَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا أُعَرِّفُكَ مَا يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ ٱلسُّخَطِ. لِأَنَّ لِمِيعَادِ ٱلِٱنْتِهَاءَ.

And he said, See, I will make clear to you what is to come in the later time of the wrath: for it has to do with the fixed time of the end.

٢٠ 20 أَمَّا ٱلْكَبْشُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتَهُ ذَا ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ فَهُوَ مُلُوكُ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ.

The sheep which you saw with two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

٢١ 21 وَٱلتَّيْسُ ٱلْعَافِي مَلِكُ ٱلْيُونَانِ، وَٱلْقَرْنُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلَّذِي بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ هُوَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ.

And the he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn between his eyes is the first king.

٢٢ 22 وَإِذِ ٱنْكَسَرَ وَقَامَ أَرْبَعَةٌ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ، فَسَتَقُومُ أَرْبَعُ مَمَالِكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَّةِ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ فِي قُوَّتِهِ.

And as for that which was broken, in place of which four came up, four kingdoms will come up from his nation, but not with his power.

٢٣ 23 وَفِي آخِرِ مَمْلَكَتِهِمْ عِنْدَ تَمَامِ ٱلْمَعَاصِي يَقُومُ مَلِكٌ جَافِي ٱلْوَجْهِ وَفَاهِمُ ٱلْحِيَلِ.

And in the later years of their kingdom, when their evil doings have become complete, there will come up a king full of pride and expert in dark sayings.

٢٤ 24 وَتَعْظُمُ قُوَّتُهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ بِقُوَّتِهِ. يُهْلِكُ عَجَبًا وَيَنْجَحُ وَيَفْعَلُ وَيُبِيدُ ٱلْعُظَمَاءَ وَشَعْبَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ.

And his power will be great, and he will be purposing strange things. And all will go well for him and he will do his pleasure; and he will send destruction on the strong ones.

٢٥ 25 وَبِحَذَاقَتِهِ يَنْجَحُ أَيْضًا ٱلْمَكْرُ فِي يَدِهِ، وَيَتَعَظَّمُ بِقَلْبِهِ. وَفِي ٱلِٱطْمِئْنَانِ يُهْلِكُ كَثِيرِينَ، وَيَقُومُ عَلَى رَئِيسِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ، وَبِلَا يَدٍ يَنْكَسِرُ.

And his designs will be turned against the holy people, causing deceit to do well in his hand; in his heart he will make himself great, and send destruction on numbers who are living unconscious of their danger; and he will put himself up against the prince of princes; but he will be broken, though not by men's hands.

٢٦ 26 فَرُؤْيَا ٱلْمَسَاءِ وَٱلصَّبَاحِ ٱلَّتِي قِيلَتْ هِيَ حَقٌّ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَٱكْتُمِ ٱلرُّؤْيَا لِأَنَّهَا إِلَى أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ».

And the vision of evenings and mornings which has been talked of is true: and keep the vision secret; for it has to do with the far-off future.

٢٧ 27 وَأَنَا دَانِيآلَ ضَعُفْتُ وَنَحَلْتُ أَيَّامًا، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ وَبَاشَرْتُ أَعْمَالَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُنْتُ مُتَحَيِّرًا مِنَ ٱلرُّؤْيَا وَلَا فَاهِمَ.

And I, Daniel, was ill for some days; then I got up and did the king's business: and I was full of wonder at the vision, but no one was able to give the sense of it.
