Daniel 8

1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me previously.

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, and when I looked, I was in the citadel of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river 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 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one 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 animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand. But he did according to his will, and became great.

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 As I was considering, look, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a prominent 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 He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and rushed 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 I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he threw him down to the ground and trampled on him, and there was no one who could deliver the ram from his power.

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 The male goat became very strong. But when he was strong, the large horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four prominent 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 Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful 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 It grew so great that it reached to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on 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 And it magnified itself, even against the Prince of the host; and it took away from him the daily sacrifice, and the place of his sanctuary was thrown 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 The host was given over to it together with the daily sacrifice because of transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and kept prospering.

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 to that certain one who spoke, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled?"

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 He said to me, "To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be restored to its rightful state."

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

15 It came about when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it. And look, there stood before me someone who appeared to be 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 I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and called out and said, "Gabriel, make this man 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 frightened, and fell prostrate. But he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision belongs 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 stood 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 He said, "Look, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of wrath, for it belongs 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 you saw, that had 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 The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large 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 As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall arise out of his 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 In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressions have reached their full measure, a rash and deceitful king shall arise.

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 His power shall be great, but not by his own strength; and he shall cause terrible destruction, and shall succeed in whatever he does. And he shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

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 Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper by his influence, and he shall be great in his own mind, and without warning he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be shattered, but not by human hands.

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 The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision because it refers to many days from now."

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 I, Daniel, was overcome, and was ill for days. Then I rose up, and carried out the king's business. And I was astonished by the vision, but there was no one to explain it.

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.
