Daniel 8
1 In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign I, Daniel, saw another vision after the one I had seen previously.
В лето третие царства Валтасара царя видение явися мне, аз Даниил, по явльшемся мне прежде.
2 In my vision I looked around and saw I was in the castle at Susa in the province of Elam. In the vision I was beside the River Ulai.
И бех в Сусех граде, иже есть во стране Еламстей, и видех в видении, и бех на Увале,
3 I looked around and saw a ram standing beside the river. It had two long horns, one longer than the other, even though the longer one had grown last.
и воздвигох очи мои и видех: и се, овен един стоя пред увалом емуже рози, рози же высоцы, един же вышше другаго, и вышший восхождаше последи.
4 I watched the ram charging west, north, and south. No animal could stand up to it—nor was there any chance of rescue from its power. It did whatever it wanted and grew powerful.
И видех овна бодуща на запад и на север, и на юг и на восток: и вси зверие не станут пред ним, и не бе избавляюща из руки его, и сотвори по воли своей, и возвеличися.
5 As I was thinking about what I'd seen, a male goat came in from the west, racing in across the surface of the earth so fast it didn't touch the ground. It had a large, prominent horn between its eyes.
Аз же бех размышляя, и се козел от коз идяше от лива на лице всея земли и не бе прикасаяся земли, и козлу тому рог видимь между очима его:
6 It approached the ram with the two horns which I had seen standing beside the river, rushing in to attack in a furious rage.
и прииде до овна имущаго рога егоже видех стояща пред увалом, и тече к нему в силе крепости своея.
7 I watched as the goat charged furiously at the ram, hitting it and breaking off its two horns. The ram did not have the strength to resist the goat's attack. The goat threw the ram to the ground, trampling on it, and there was no possibility of rescuing it from the goat's power.
И видех его доходяща до овна, и разсвирепе на него, и порази овна, и сокруши оба рога его: и не бе силы овну, еже стати противу ему: и поверже его на землю и попра его, и не бе избавляяй овна от руки его.
8 The goat grew very powerful, but at the height of its power its large horn was broken off. In its place four large horns came up, pointing to the four winds of heaven.
И козел козий возвеличися до зела: и внегда укрепися, сокрушися рог его великий, и взыдоша друзии четыри рози под ним, по четырем ветром небесным:
9 A little horn came up from one of them, and grew extremely powerful to the south and to the east and to the Beautiful Land.
и от единаго их взыде рог един крепок, и возвеличися вельми к югу и к востоку и к силе,
10 It grew in power until it reached the heavenly army, throwing some of them and some of the stars down to the earth and trampled on them.
и возвеличися даже до силы небесныя: и сотвори пасти на землю от силы небесныя и от звезд, и попра я:
11 It even tried to make itself as great as the Prince of the heavenly army—it removed the continual service, and the place of his sanctuary was destroyed.
и дондеже Архистратиг избавит пленники, и Его ради жертва смятеся, и благопоспешися Ему, и святое опустеет:
12 An army of people and the continual service were handed over to it because of rebellion, and it overthrew truth, and it was successful in everything it did.
и дадеся на жертву грех, и повержеся правда на землю: и сотвори, и благопоспешися.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one asked the one who was speaking, “How long is this vision for—the removal of the continual service, the rebellion that causes devastation, the handing over of the sanctuary and the army of people to be trampled down?”
И слышах единаго святаго глаголюща. И рече един святый другому некоему глаголющему: доколе видение станет, жертва отятая, и грех опустения данный, и святое и сила поперется?
14 He replied, “For two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings, then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
И рече ему: даже до вечера и утра дний две тысящы и триста, и очистится святое.
15 As I, Daniel, tried to work out what this vision meant suddenly I saw someone who looked like a man standing in front of me.
И бысть, егда видех аз Даниил видение и взысках ведения, и се, ста предо мною аки образ мужеск,
16 I also heard a human voice calling from the River Ulai, “Gabriel, explain to this man the meaning of the vision.”
и слышах глас мужеск среде Увала, и призва и рече: Гаврииле, скажи видение оному.
17 As he approached me, I was terrified and fell face down before him. “Son of man,” he told me, “You need to understand that this vision refers to the time of the end.”
И прииде и ста близ стояния моего: и егда прииде ужасохся и падох на лице мое. И рече ко мне: разумей, сыне человечь, еще бо до скончания времене видение.
18 As he spoke to me I lost consciousness as I laid face down on the ground. But he took hold of me and helped me to my feet.
И егда глаголаше со мною, падох ниц на земли, и прикоснуся мне, и постави мя на ноги моя, и рече:
19 He told me, “Pay attention! I'm going to explain to you what's going to happen during the time of anger, which refers to the appointed time of the end.
се, аз возвещаю тебе будущая на последок гнева (сыном людий твоих): еще бо до конца времене видение.
20 The ram with two horns that you saw symbolizes the kings of Media and Persia.
Овен, егоже видел еси имуща рога, царь Мидский и Персский:
21 The male goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is its first king.
а козел козий царь Еллинский есть: рог же великий, иже между очима его, той есть царь первый:
22 The four horns that came up in place of the large horn that was broken represent the four kingdoms that arose from that nation, but not as powerful as the first.
сему же сокрушившуся восташа четыри рози под ним: четыри царие востанут от языка его, но не в крепости его,
23 When those kingdoms come to an end, when their sins have reached their fullest extent, a ferocious and treacherous kingdom will rise to power.
и на последок царства их, исполняющымся грехом их, востанет царь безсрамен лицем и разумея гадания,
24 It will become very powerful but not by its own power. It will be terribly destructive, and will succeed in everything it does. It will destroy great leaders and God's dedicated people.
и державна крепость его, не в крепости же своей, и чудесно растлит и управит и сотворит, и разсыплет крепкия и люди святы,
25 Through its deviousness, its lies will be convincing and successful. It shows its arrogance both in thought and action, destroying those who thought they were perfectly safe. It even fights in opposition against the Prince of princes, but it will be defeated, though not by any human power.
и ярем вериг своих исправит: лесть в руце его, и в сердцы своем возвеличится, и лестию разсыплет многих, и на пагубу многим возстанет, и яко яица рукою сокрушит.
26 The vision about the evenings and mornings that has been explained to you is true, but for now seal up this vision because it refers to the distant future.”
И видение вечера и утра реченнаго истинно есть: ты же назнаменай видение, яко на дни многи.
27 After this, I, Daniel, became exhausted, and I was sick for days. Then I got up and went back to working for the king, but I was devastated at what I'd seen in vision and I couldn't understand it.
Аз же Даниил успох и изнемогах на дни (многи), и востах и творях дела царева, и почудихся видению, и не бяше разумевающаго.
