Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, to me Daniel, after that which had appeared unto me at the first.
No ano terceiro do reinado do rei Belshazzar apareceu-me uma visão, a mim, Daniel, depois daquela que me apareceu no princípio.
2 And I saw in the vision—and it came to pass, in my seeing, that I was at Shushan the capital, which is in the province of 'Elam; —and I saw in the vision, as though I was by the river Ulai.
E vi numa visão (e aconteceu, quando vi, que eu estava na cidadela de Susan, que está na província de Elam), vi pois, numa visão, que eu estava junto ao rio Ulai.
3 And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there was a ram standing before the river, and he had two horns; and the horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.
E levantei os meus olhos, e vi, e eis que um carneiro estava diante do rio, o qual tinha duas pontas; e as duas pontas eram altas, porém uma era mais alta do que a outra; e a que era mais alta subiu por último.
4 I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; so that all the beasts could not stand before him, and no one was there to deliver out of his hand: and he did according to his will, and became great.
Vi que o carneiro dava marradas para o ocidente, e para o norte e para o meio dia; e nenhuns animais podiam parar diante dele, nem havia quem livrasse da sua mão; e fazia conforme a sua vontade, e se engrandecia.
5 And as I was looking attentively, behold, there came a shaggy, he-goat from the west over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a sightly large horn between his eyes.
E, estando eu considerando, eis que um bode vinha do ocidente sobre toda a terra, e não tocava a terra; e aquele bode tinha uma ponta insigne entre os olhos;
6 And he came as far as the ram that had two horns, that I had seen standing before the river, and ran at him with his furious power.
E vinha ao carneiro que tinha as duas pontas, ao qual eu tinha visto em pé diante do rio; e correu contra ele com todo o ímpeto da sua força.
7 And I saw him coming close unto the ram, and he became bitterly enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand forward before him: and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and there was no one to deliver the ram out of his hand.
E o vi chegar perto do carneiro, e se irritou contra ele, e feriu o carneiro, e lhe quebrou as duas pontas, pois não havia força no carneiro para parar diante dele, e o lançou por terra, e o pizou a pés; nem houve quem livrasse o carneiro da sua mão
8 And the shaggy he-goat became very great: but when he was grown strong, the great horn was broken; and there came up four slightly large ones in its place toward the four winds of heaven.
E o bode se engrandeceu em grande maneira; mas, estando na sua maior força, aquela grande ponta foi quebrada: e subiram no seu lugar outras quatro insignes, para os quatro ventos do céu.
9 And out of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
E de uma delas saiu uma ponta mui pequena, a qual cresceu muito para o meio dia, e para o oriente, e para a terra formosa.
10 And it became great, even up to the host of the heavens; and it cast down to the ground some of the host and of the stars, and trod them under foot.
E se engrandeceu até ao exército do céu: e a alguns do exército, e das estrelas, deitou por terra, e as pizou.
11 Yea, it magnified itself even up to the prince of the host, and by it the continual sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
E se engrandeceu até ao príncipe do exército: e por ele foi tirado o contínuo sacrifício, e o lugar do seu santuário foi lançado por terra.
12 And the host is given up together with the continual sacrifice, by reason of transgression: and it casteth down the truth to the ground, and it doth [this], and is prosperous.
E o exército foi entregue por causa das transgressões contra o contínuo sacrifício; e lançou a verdade por terra, e o fez, e prosperou.
13 Then did I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a holy one said unto the unknown one who was speaking, For how long is the vision concerning the continual sacrifice, and the wasting transgression, to give up both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Depois ouvi um santo que falava; e disse o santo àquele que falava: Até quando durará a visão do contínuo sacrifício, e da transgressão assoladora, para que seja entregue o santuário, e o exército, para ser pizado?
14 And he said unto me, Until two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings, when the sanctuary shall be justified.
E ele me disse: Até duas mil e trezentas tardes e manhãs; e o santuário será justificado.
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought for understanding, that, behold, there was standing opposite to me something like the appearance of a man.
E aconteceu que, havendo eu, Daniel, visto a visão, busquei o entendimento, e eis que se me apresentou diante um com o parecer de homem.
16 And I heard the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ulai, and it called, and said, Gabriel, cause this one to understand this appearance.
E ouvi uma voz de homem entre as margens do Ulai, a qual gritou, e disse: Gabriel, dá a entender a este a visão.
17 So he came close to where I stood: and when he came, I was terrified, and I fell upon my face; but he said unto me, Mark it well, O son of man; because for the time of the end is the vision.
E veio perto de onde eu estava; e, vindo ele, me assombrei, e caí sobre o meu rosto; porém ele me disse: Entende, filho do homem, porque acontecerá esta visão no fim do tempo.
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell down in amazement on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright where I had been standing.
E, estando ele falando comigo, caí adormecido sobre o meu rosto por terra: ele, pois, me tocou, e me fez estar em pé.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make known unto thee what is to be at the last end of the indignation; for it is for the appointed time of the end.
E disse: Eis que te farei saber o que há de acontecer no último tempo da ira; porque no tempo determinado será o fim.
20 The ram that thou hast seen, him with the two horns, [signifieth] the kings of Media and Persia.
Aquele carneiro que viste com duas pontas são os reis da Media e da Pérsia,
21 And the shaggy he-goat is the king of Javan; and the great horn which is between his eyes is the first king.
Porém o bode peludo é o rei da Grécia; e a ponta grande que tinha entre os olhos é o rei primeiro;
22 But that it was broken, and that four sprung up in its stead, [signifieth that] four kingdoms will spring up out of the nation, but not with his power.
E que, sendo quebrada ela, se levantassem quatro em lugar dela, significa que quatro reinos se levantarão da mesma nação, mas não com a força dela.
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have filled their measure of guilt, there will arise a king of an impudent face, and understanding deep schemes.
Mas, no fim do seu reinado, quando os prevaricadores acabarem de prevaricar, se levantará um rei, feroz de cara, e será entendido em adivinhações.
24 And his power will be mighty, but not by his own power; and he will destroy wonderfully, and will prosper while he doth [this]; and he will destroy very many and the people of the saints.
E se fortalecerá a sua força, mas não pela força dele mesmo; e destruirá maravilhosamente, e prosperará, e o seu prazer fará: e destruirá os fortes e o povo santo.
25 And through his intelligence, and because he prospereth, is craftiness in his hand; and in his heart will he magnify himself, and in peace will he destroy many: he will also stand up against the Prince of princes; but without a human hand will he be broken.
E pelo seu entendimento também fará prosperar o engano na sua mão; e no seu coração se engrandecerá, e pela tranquilidade destruirá muitos; e se levantará contra o príncipe dos príncipes, mas sem mão será quebrado
26 And the appearance of the evening and the morning which was spoken of is true: but do thou keep the vision closed up;
E a visão da tarde e da manhã, que foi dita, é verdade: tu, porém, cerra a visão, porque é para muitos dias.
27 And I Daniel grieved, and was sick several days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was depressed because of the appearance; but no one observed it.
E eu, Daniel, enfraqueci, e estive enfermo alguns dias; então levantei-me e fiz o negócio do rei: e espantei-me acerca da visão, e não havia quem a entendesse.
