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.

In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.

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.

And I saw in a vision, and when I saw, I was in Shushan, in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and was by the river Ulai.

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.

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

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.

I saw the ram pushing westward and northward and southward, and no beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will and became great.

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.

And I gave heed, and behold, a he-goat came from the west, over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

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.

And he came to the ram which had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran against him in the fury of his power.

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.

And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him, and smote the ram, and broke in pieces his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and none could deliver the ram out of his hand.

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.

And the he-goat became exceedingly great; but when he became strong the great horn was broken, and instead of it grew up four conspicuous ones toward the four winds of heaven.

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.

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful 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.

And it exalted itself even to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and stamped upon them.

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.

Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and the daily sacrifice did he take away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

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.

And a host was placed over the daily sacrifice with impiety, and it cast down truth to the ground, and it accomplished its purpose and prospered.

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.

And I heard a holy one speak; and another holy one said to the one that had spoken, To how long a time extendeth the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the impiety of the destroyer, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

14 And he said to me until evening morning two thousand and three hundreds and it will be put right [the] sanctuary.

And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

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.

And it came to pass, that when I Daniel saw the vision, I sought for the meaning; and behold, there stood one before me having the appearance of a man.

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.

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

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.

And he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face, and he said to me, Understand, O son of man! for this vision relateth to the time of the end.

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.

But when he spake to me, I sank senseless upon my face to the ground; but he touched me, and lifted me up where I had stood.

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.

And he said, Behold, I make known to thee what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for [[the vision relateth]] to the time of the end.

20 The ram which you saw [the] possessor of the two horns [is] [the] kings of Media and Persia.

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

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.

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

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.

And as that was broken, and four arose in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of the nation, but not with his power.

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.

And toward the end of their reign, when the transgressors have filled up the measure of their iniquities, a king shall arise of a fierce countenance, and cunning in artifices.

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].

And his power shall become mighty, but not by his own strength; and wonderfully will he destroy, and prosper, and accomplish his purposes, and he will destroy many, even the people of the holy ones.

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.

And through his cunning will he cause fraud to prosper in his hand, and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in the midst of security, and against the Prince of princes will he stand up; but he shall be broken without hand.

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.

And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told thee, is true; but do thou seal up the vision, for it relates to many days.

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.

And I Daniel fainted, and was sick some days; then I rose up and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but no one explained it.
