Daniel 8

1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.

Nang ikatlong taon ng paghahari ng haring Belsasar, ang isang pangitain ay napakita sa akin, sa aking si Daniel, pagkatapos noong napakita sa akin nang una.

2 And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the castle, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the stream Ulai.

At ako'y may nakita sa pangitain: nangyari nga, na nang aking makita, nasa Susan ako na palacio, na nasa lalawigan ng Elam; at ako'y may nakita sa pangitain, at ako'y nasa tabi ng ilog Ulai.

3 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the stream a ram which had two horns; and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

Nang magkagayo'y itiningin ko ang aking mga mata, at ako'y may nakita, at narito, tumayo sa harap ng ilog ang isang lalaking tupa na may dalawang sungay: at ang dalawang sungay ay mataas; nguni't ang isa'y lalong mataas kay sa isa, at ang lalong mataas ay tumaas na huli.

4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.

Aking nakita ang lalaking tupa na nanunudlong sa dakong kalunuran, at sa dakong hilagaan, at sa dakong timugan; at walang hayop na makatayo sa harap niya, ni wala sinoman na makapagligtas mula sa kaniyang kamay; kundi kaniyang ginawa ang ayon sa kaniyang kalooban, at nagmalaking mainam.

5 And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

At habang aking ginugunita, narito, isang kambing na lalake ay nagmula sa kalunuran sa ibabaw ng buong lupa, at hindi sumayad sa lupa: at ang lalaking kambing ay may nakagitaw na sungay sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga mata.

6 And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the stream, and ran at him in the fury of his power.

At siya'y naparoon sa lalaking tupa na may dalawang sungay na aking nakitang nakatayo sa harap ng ilog, at tinakbo niya siya sa kabangisan ng kaniyang kapangyarihan.

7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

At aking nakitang siya'y lumapit sa lalaking tupa, at siya'y nakilos ng pagkagalit laban sa kaniya, at sinaktan ang tupa, at binali ang kaniyang dalawang sungay: at ang lalaking tupa ay walang kapangyarihang makatayo sa harap niya; kundi kaniyang ibinuwal sa lupa, at kaniyang niyapakan siya; at walang makapagligtas sa lalaking tupa mula sa kaniyang kamay.

8 And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up the appearance of four horns toward the four winds of heaven.

At ang lalaking kambing ay nagmalaking mainam: at nang siya'y lumakas, ang malaking sungay ay nabali; at kahalili niyao'y lumitaw ang apat na marangal na sungay, sa dako ng apat na hangin ng langit.

9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous land.

At mula sa isa sa mga yaon ay lumitaw ang isang maliit na sungay na dumakilang totoo, sa dakong timugan, at sa dakong silanganan, at sa dakong maluwalhating lupain.

10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.

At lumaking mainam, hanggang sa hukbo sa langit; at ang ilan sa hukbo at sa mga bituin ay iniwaksi sa lupa, at mga niyapakan yaon.

11 Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

Oo, nagmalaki, hanggang sa prinsipe ng hukbo; at inalis niya sa kaniya ang palaging handog na susunugin, at ang dako ng kaniyang santuario ay ibinagsak.

12 And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it wrought, and prospered.

At ang hukbo ay nabigay sa kaniya na kasama ng palaging handog na susunugin dahil sa pagsalangsang; at kaniyang iniwaksi ang katotohanan sa lupa, at gumawa ng kaniyang maibigan at guminhawa.

13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spoke: 'How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that causes appalment, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?'

Nang magkagayo'y narinig ko ang isang banal na nagsalita; at ibang banal ay nagsabi sa isang yaon na nagsalita, Hanggang kailan magtatagal ang pangitain tungkol sa palaging handog na susunugin, at ang pagsalangsang na sumisira, upang magbigay ng santuario at ng hukbo upang mayapakan ng paa?

14 And he said unto me: 'Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be victorious.'

At sinabi niya sa akin, Hanggang sa dalawang libo at tatlong daan na hapon at umaga; kung magkagayo'y malilinis ang santuario.

15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

At nangyari, nang ako, sa makatuwid baga'y akong si Daniel, ay makakita ng pangitain, na aking pinagsikapang maunawaan; at, narito, nakatayo sa harap ko ang isang kawangis ng isang tao.

16 And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, who called, and said: 'Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.'

At narinig ko ang tinig ng isang tao sa pagitan ng mga pangpang ng Ulai, na tumatawag at nagsasabi, Gabriel, ipaaninaw mo sa taong ito ang pangitain.

17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face; but he said unto me: 'Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.'

Sa gayo'y lumapit siya sa kinatatayuan ko; at nang siya'y lumapit, ako'y natakot at napasubasob: nguni't sinabi niya sa akin, Talastasin mo, Oh anak ng tao; sapagka't ang pangitain ay ukol sa panahon ng kawakasan.

18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.

Samantalang siya nga'y nagsasalita sa akin, ako'y nagupiling sa isang mahimbing na pagkakatulog na padapa; nguni't hinipo niya ako, at itinayo ako.

19 And he said: 'Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end.

At kaniyang sinabi, Narito, aking ipaaaninaw sa iyo kung ano ang mangyayari sa huling panahon ng pagkagalit; sapagka't ukol sa takdang panahon ng kawakasan.

20 The ram which thou sawest having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

Ang lalaking tupa na iyong nakita, na may dalawang sungay, ang mga yaon ang mga hari sa Media at Persia.

21 And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

At ang may magaspang na balahibo na lalaking kambing ay siyang hari sa Grecia: at ang malaking sungay na nasa pagitan ng kaniyang mga mata ay siyang unang hari.

22 And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.

At tungkol sa nabali, sa dakong tinayuan ng apat, ay apat na kaharian ang magsisibangon mula sa bansa, nguni't hindi sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kapangyarihan.

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems.

At sa huling panahon ng kanilang kaharian, pagka ang mananalangsang ay nagsidating sa kapuspusan, isang hari ay babangon na may mabagsik na pagmumukha, at nakaunawa ng malabong salita.

24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do; and he shall destroy them that are mighty and the people of the saints.

At ang kaniyang kapangyarihan ay magiging dakila, nguni't hindi sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang sariling kapangyarihan; at siya'y lilipol na kamanghamangha, at giginhawa, at gagawa ng kaniyang maibigan; at kaniyang lilipulin ang mga makapangyarihan at ang banal na bayan.

25 And through his cunning he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in time of security shall he destroy many; he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

At sa kaniyang paraan ay kaniyang palulusugin ang pagdaraya sa kaniyang kamay; at siya'y magmamalaki ng kaniyang loob, at sa kanilang ikatitiwasay ay papatay ng marami: siya'y tatayo rin laban sa prinsipe ng mga prinsipe; nguni't siya'y mabubuwal hindi ng kamay.

26 And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true; but thou, shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days to come.'

At ang pangitain sa mga hapon at mga umaga na nasaysay ay tunay: nguni't ilihim mo ang pangitain; sapagka't ukol sa maraming araw na darating.

27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was appalled at the vision, but understood it not.

At akong si Daniel ay nanglupaypay, at nagkasakit na ilang araw; nang magkagayon ako'y nagbangon, at ginawa ko ang mga gawain ng hari: at ako'y natigilan sa pangitain, nguni't walang nakakaunawa.
