دَانِيآل 8

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

In the thridde yeer of the rewme of Balthasar, the king, a visioun apperide to me. Y, Danyel, after that thing that Y hadde seyn in the bigynnyng,

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

siy in my visioun, whanne Y was in the castel of Susis, which is in the cuntrei of Helam; sotheli Y siy in the visioun that Y was on the yate Vlay.

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

And Y reiside myn iyen, and Y siy; and lo! o ram stood bifor the mareis, and hadde hiy hornes, and oon hiyere than the tother, and vndurwexynge.

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

Aftirward Y siy the ram wyndewynge with hornes ayens the eest, and ayens the west, and ayens the north, and ayens the south; and alle beestis myyten not ayenstonde it, nether be delyuered fro the hondis of it. And it dide bi his wille, and was magnefied.

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 Y vndurstood. Lo! forsothe a buk of geet cam fro the west on the face of al erthe, and touchide not the erthe; forsothe the buk of geet hadde a noble horn bitwixe hise iyen;

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

and he cam til to that horned ram, which Y hadde seyn stondynge bifore the yate, and he ran in the fersnesse of his strengthe to that ram.

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 whanne he hadde neiyid niy the ram, he hurlide fersly on hym, and he smoot the ram, and al to-brak tweyne hornes of hym, and the ram miyte not ayenstonde hym. And whanne he hadde sent that ram in to erthe, he defoulide; and no man miyte delyuere the ram fro his hond.

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

Forsothe the buk of geet was maad ful greet; and whanne he hadde encreessid, the greet horn was brokun, and foure hornes risiden vndur it, bi foure wyndis of heuene.

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

Forsothe of oon of hem yede out o litil horn, and it was maad greet ayens the south, and ayens the eest, and ayens the strengthe.

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

And it was magnefied til to the strengthe of heuene, and it castide doun of the strengthe and of sterris, and defoulide tho.

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

And he was magnefied til to the prince of strengthe, and he took awei fro hym the contynuel sacrifice, and castide doun the place of his halewyng.

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

Forsothe strengthe was youun to hym ayens the contynuel sacrifice for synnes, and treuthe schal be cast doun in erthe; and he schal haue prosperite, and schal do.

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

And Y herde oon of hooli aungels spekynge; and oon hooli aungel seide to another, Y noot to whom spekinge, Hou long the visioun, and the contynuel sacrifice, and the synne of desolacioun, which is maad, and the seyntuarie, and the strengthe schal be defoulid?

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

And he seide to hym, Til to the euentid and morewtid, two thousynde daies and thre hundrid; and the seyntuarie schal be clensid.

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

Forsothe it was doon, whanne Y, Danyel, siy the visioun, and axide the vndurstondyng, lo! as the licnesse of a man stood in my siyt.

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

And Y herde the voys of a man bitwixe Vlai, and he criede, and seide, Gabriel, make thou Danyel to vndurstonde this visioun.

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

And he cam, and stood bisidis where Y stood; and whanne he was comun, Y dredde, and felle on my face. And he seide to me, Thou, sone of man, vndurstonde, for the visioun schal be fillid in the tyme of ende.

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

And whanne he spak to me, Y slood doun `plat to the erthe. And he touchide me, and settide me in my degree.

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

And he seide to me, Y schal schewe to thee what thingis schulen come in the laste of cursing, for the tyme hath his ende.

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

The ram, whom thou siyest haue hornes, is the kyng of Medeis and of Perseis.

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

Forsothe the buc of geet is the kyng of Grekis; and the greet horn that was bitwixe hise iyen, he is the firste kyng.

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

Forsothe that whanne that horn was brokun, foure hornes risiden for it, foure kyngis schulen rise of the folc of hym, but not in the strengthe of hym.

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

And after the rewme of hem, whanne `wickidnessis han encreessid, a kyng schal rise vnschamefast in face, and vndurstondyng proposisiouns, ether resouns set forth; and his strengthe schal be maad stalworthe,

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

but not in hise strengthis. And more than it mai be bileuyd he schal waste alle thingis, and he schal haue prosperite, and schal do. And he schal sle stronge men, and the puple of seyntis,

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

bi his wille, and gile schal be dressid in his hond. And he schal magnefie his herte, and in abundaunce of alle thingis he schal sle ful many men. And he schal rise ayens the prince of princes, and withouten hond he schal be al to-brokun.

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

And the visioun, which is seid in the morewtid and euentid, is trewe. Therfor seele thou the visioun, for it schal be after many daies.

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

And Y, Danyel, was astonyed, and was sijk bi ful many daies; and whanne Y hadde rise, Y dide the werkis of the kyng; and Y was astonyed at the visioun, and `noon was that interpretide.
