< Daniel 8 >
1 In year three of [the] reign of Belshazzar the king a vision it appeared to me I Daniel after the [one] which it appeared to me at the beginning.
I Kong Belsazars Regerings tredje Aar viste der sig for mig, Daniel, et Syn, efter det, som havde vist sig for mig i Begyndelsen.
2 And I saw in the vision and it was when saw I and I [was] in Susa the citadel which [is] in Elam the province and I saw in the vision and I I was at [the] canal of Ulai.
Og jeg saa i Synet, og det skete, idet jeg saa, at jeg var i Borgen Susan, i Landskabet Elam, og jeg saa i Synet, og jeg var ved Floden Ulaj.
3 And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! - a ram one [was] standing before the canal and [belonged] to it two horns and the two horns [were] high and the one [was] high more than the second and the high [one] [was] growing up at the last.
Og jeg opløftede mine Øjne og saa, og se, en Væder stod lige for Floden, og den havde to Horn; og Hornene vare høje, og det ene højere end det andet, og det højeste voksede op sidst.
4 I saw the ram thrusting west-ward and north-ward and south-ward and any living creatures not they stood before it and there not [was one] delivering from hand its and it did according to pleasure its and it magnified itself.
Jeg saa, at Væderen stangede imod Vesten og Norden og Sønden, og der kunde intet Dyr staa for dens Ansigt, der var ej heller nogen, som kunde redde af dens Vold, og den gjorde efter sin Villie og blev mægtig.
5 And I - I was observing and there! [the] he-goat of the goats [was] coming from the west over [the] surface of all the earth and not [it was] touching the earth and the he-goat a horn of conspicuousness [was] between eyes its.
Og jeg gav Agt, og se, en Gedebuk kom fra Vesten hen over al Jorden, og den rørte ikke ved Jorden; og Gedebukken havde et anseligt Horn imellem sine Øjne.
6 And it came to the ram [the] possessor of the two horns which I had seen standing before the canal and it ran against it in [the] rage of strength its.
Og den kom til Væderen, som havde de to Horn, og som jeg havde set staa lige for Floden, og den løb imod deri i sin Krafts Hidsighed.
7 And I saw it approaching - beside the ram and it was enraged against it and it struck the ram and it broke [the] two horns its and not it was strength in the ram to stand before it and it threw it [the] ground towards and it trampled it and not anyone was delivering the ram from hand its.
Og jeg saa den, at den kom nær hen til Væderen og blev forbitret paa den og slog Væderen og sønderbrød dens to Horn, og der var ingen Kraft i Væderen til at staa for dens Ansigt; og den kastede den til Jorden og nedtraadte den, og der var ingen, som kunde redde Væderen af dens Vold.
8 And [the] he-goat of the goats it magnified itself up to muchness and just as became mighty it it was broken the horn great and they grew up conspicuousness four in place its to [the] four [the] winds of the heavens.
Og Gedebukken blev saare mægtig; men som den stod i sin Styrke, blev det store Horn sønderbrudt, og i Stedet derfor opvoksede fire anselige Horn imod Himmelens fire Vejr;
9 And from the one of them it came out a horn one from a small [thing] and it became great excess to the south and to the east and to the beauty.
og fra det ene af dem fremskød eet Horn, i Førstningen lidet, men det blev overmaade stort imod Sønden og imod Østen og imod det herlige Land.
10 And it became great to [the] host of the heavens and it made fall [the] ground towards some of the host and some of the stars and it trampled them.
Og det blev stort, indtil Himmelens Hær, og det kastede nogle af Hæren og af Stjernerne til Jorden og nedtraadte dem.
11 And to [the] commander of the host it magnified itself and from him (it was removed *Q(K)*) the perpetual [offering] and it was thrown down [the] place of sanctuary his.
Ja, indtil Hærens Fyrste udstrakte det sin Magt og borttog fra ham den stadige Tjeneste, og hans Helligdoms Bolig blev nedkastet.
12 And an army it will be set over the perpetual [offering] in transgression and it will throw down truth [the] ground towards and it will act and it will succeed.
Og en Hær skal hengives tillige med den stadige Tjeneste for Overtrædelsens Skyld; og det skal kaste Sandheden til Jorden og udføre det og have Lykke.
13 And I heard! one holy [one] speaking and he said one holy [one] to the certain [one] who was speaking until when? [will be] the vision the perpetual [offering] and the transgression desolate to give over and [the] sanctuary and an army trampling.
Derefter hørte jeg en hellig, som talte, og en anden hellig sagde til den, der talte: Paa hvor lang Tid gaar Synet om den stadige Tjeneste og Overtrædelsen, der bringer Ødelæggelse, at baade Helligdommen og Hæren skulle hengives til at nedtrædes?
14 And he said to me until evening morning two thousand and three hundreds and it will be put right [the] sanctuary.
Og han sagde til mig: Indtil to Tusinde og tre Hundrede Aftener og Morgener, saa skal Helligdommen faa sin Ret igen.
15 And it was when saw I I Daniel the vision and I sought! understanding and there! [was] standing to before me like [the] appearance of a man.
Og det skete, der jeg, Daniel, saa Synet, at jeg søgte Forklaring, og se, der stod een for mig af Udseende som en Mand.
16 And I heard [the] voice of a person between Ulai and he called and he said O Gabriel explain to this [one] the vision.
Og jeg hørte en Menneskerøst imellem Ulaj, og han raabte og sagde: Gabriel! forklar denne Synet!
17 And he came beside standing place my and when came he I was terrified and I fell! on face my and he said to me understand O son of humankind that [is] for [the] time of [the] end the vision.
Og han kom hen, hvor jeg stod, og der han kom, blev jeg forfærdet og faldt paa mit Ansigt; og han sagde til mig: Giv Agt, du Menneskesøn! thi Synet gaar paa Endens Tid.
18 And when spoke he with me I was dazed on face my [the] ground towards and he touched me and he made stand me on standing place my.
Og der han talte med mig, faldt jeg bedøvet paa mit Ansigt til Jorden; men han rørte ved mig og rejste mig op, hvor jeg stod.
19 And he said here I [am] making known to you [that] which it will be at [the] end of the indignation for [it is] for [the] appointed time of [the] end.
Og han sagde: Se, jeg vil kundgøre dig, hvad der skal ske i Vredens sidste Tid; thi det gaar paa Endens bestemte Tid.
20 The ram which you saw [the] possessor of the two horns [is] [the] kings of Media and Persia.
Den Væder, som du saa, der havde de to Horn, er Kongerne af Medien og Persien.
21 And the he-goat hairy [is] [the] king of Greece and the horn great which [is] between eyes its it [is] the king first.
Og den laadne Buk er Kongen af Grækenland; og det store Horn, som var imellem dens Øjne, er den første Konge.
22 And the broken [horn] and they arose four [horns] in place its four kingdoms from a nation they will arise and not with power its.
Og at det blev sønderbrudt, og at fire stode frem i Stedet for det, betyder, at fire Kongeriger skulle opstaa af Folket, men ikke med hans Kraft.
23 And at [the] end of reign their when are completed the rebels he will arise a king strong of face and understanding of intrigue.
Og i deres Herredømmes sidste Tid, naar Overtræderne have gjort Maalet luldt, skal der opstaa en Konge, fræk af Ansigt og kyndig i Rænker.
24 And it will be mighty power his and not by own power his and wonders he will destroy and he will succeed and he will act and he will destroy mighty [ones] and a people of holy [ones].
Og hans Magt skal blive stærk, dog ikke ved hans Kraft, han skal anrette uhørte Ødelæggelser og have Lykke og udføre det; og han skal ødelægge dte stærke og de helliges Folk.
25 And on insight his and he will make successful deceit by hand his and in heart his he will magnify himself and in prosperity he will destroy many [people] and on a prince of princes he will stand and by not a hand he will be broken.
Og formedelst hans Klogskab skal Svig lykkes i hans Haand, og han skal storlig ophøje sig i sit Hjerte og ødelægge mange i deres Tryghed; og han skal staa op imod Fyrsternes Fyrste, men uden Menneskehaand skal han knuses.
26 And [the] vision of the evening and the morning which it has been told [is] truth it and you keep secret the vision for [it is] for days many.
Og Synet om Aftenerne og Morgenerne, hvorom der er talt, er Sandhed; men luk du til for Synet, thi det skal ske efter mange Dage.
27 And I Daniel I was done [in] and I was sick days and I arose and I did [the] work of the king and I was appalled on the vision and there not [was one] giving understanding.
Og jeg, Daniel, var aldeles afmægtig og syg i flere Dage; siden stod jeg op og udrettede Kongens Gerning; og jeg var forfærdet over Synet, og der var ingen, som forstod det.
