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.
Dans la troisième année du règne du roi Balthasar, une vision m’apparut, à moi Daniel, à la suite de celle qui m’était apparue tout d’abord.
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.
Je regardais au cours de ma vision, et, en regardant, je me trouvais à Suse, la capitale de la province d’Elam; il me semblait, dans ma vision, être près du fleuve Oulaï.
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.
Je levai les yeux et je vis un bélier qui se tenait en face du fleuve; il avait deux cornes, et ces deux cornes étaient hautes; toutefois l’une d’elles était plus haute que l’autre, et la plus haute était montée en dernier.
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.
Je vis le bélier donnant des coups de corne du côté de l’ouest, du nord et du midi; aucune des bêtes ne lui résistait et personne ne pouvait se défendre contre ses coups. Il en faisait à sa volonté et allait grandissant.
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.
Tandis que j’observais, voilà qu’un bouc vint de l’occident, franchissant la surface de toute la terre sans toucher le sol; ce bouc avait une corne considérable entre les yeux.
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.
Il arriva jusqu’au bélier, muni de deux cornes, que j’avais vu se tenir en face du fleuve, et se rua sur lui dans le paroxysme de sa force.
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.
Je le vis atteindre le bélier, se précipiter avec fureur contre lui, frapper le bélier et briser ses deux cornes sans que le bélier eût la force de lui tenir tête. II le jeta à terre, le foula aux pieds, et personne ne put sauver le bélier de ses coups.
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.
Et le bouc grandit prodigieusement; mais au fort de sa puissance, la grande corne se brisa, et à sa place quatre autres cornes considérables s’élevèrent dans la direction des quatre vents du ciel.
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.
D’Une de ces cornes en sortit une autre, petite d’abord, mais qui grandit démesurément vers le midi, vers l’orient et vers le joyau des pays.
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.
Elle se haussa jusqu’à l’armée du ciel, et fit tomber à terre une partie de cette armée et des étoiles, et les foula aux pieds.
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.
Elle se haussa même jusqu’au chef de cette armée, dont l’holocauste perpétuel fut supprimé et la sainte résidence renversée.
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.
L’Armée lui fut livrée en proie en même temps que l’holocauste perpétuel, par suite de la rébellion. Elle terrassa la vérité et vit prospérer son œuvre.
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.
Puis j’entendis un saint prendre la parole et un autre saint demander à celui qui parlait: "Jusqu’à quand les indications de cette vision: l’holocauste perpétuel supprimé, le crime abominable, le sanctuaire et l’armée piétinés?"
14 And he said to me until evening morning two thousand and three hundreds and it will be put right [the] sanctuary.
Et il me dit: "Jusqu’à deux mille trois cents soirs et matins; alors le sanctuaire sera réhabilité."
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.
Or, tandis que moi, Daniel, je considérais cette vision et cherchais à comprendre, voilà qu’une forme humaine vint se placer en face de moi,
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.
et j’entendis la voix d’un homme entre les rives de l’Oulaï; il appelait et disait: "Gabriel, explique à celui-là la 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.
Il s’approcha de l’endroit où je me tenais; à son approche, je fus pris de frayeur et je tombai sur la face; et il me dit: "Rends-toi bien compte, fils de l’homme, que la vision se rapporte au temps final."
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.
Pendant qu’il me parlait, j’étais tout étourdi, la figure contre terre; il me toucha et me remit sur mes pieds.
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.
Il me dit: "Je vais te faire connaître ce qui arrivera à la suite de la tourmente, car cela a trait à la période finale.
20 The ram which you saw [the] possessor of the two horns [is] [the] kings of Media and Persia.
Le bélier que tu as vu, muni des deux cornes, désigne les rois de Médie et de Perse;
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.
le bouc velu, c’est le roi de la Grèce; la grande corne qu’il porte entre les yeux, c’est le premier roi.
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.
Et si elle s’est brisée, quatre autres surgissant à sa place, c’est que quatre royaumes sortiront de cette nation, mais sans avoir la même puissance.
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.
Au terme de leur domination, quand les impies auront comblé la mesure, il s’élèvera un roi arrogant et expert en astuces.
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].
Grande sera sa force, mais non par sa propre vertu; il opérera des ruines extraordinaires, réussira dans ses entreprises, détruira des puissants et un peuple de saints.
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.
Grâce à son intelligence, il verra le triomphe de sa perfidie et enflera son cœur; en pleine paix, il fera périr un grand nombre; il s’insurgera contre le souverain des souverains et sera brisé sans l’intervention d’une main humaine.
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.
Or, la vision des soirs et matins, dont il a été question, est véridique; mais toi, tiens cette vision secrète, car elle se rapporte à des temps éloignés."
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.
Et moi, Daniel, je fus affecté et malade pendant des jours; puis, je me relevai et exécutai la besogne du roi. J’Étais tout troublé de la vision et ne la comprenais point.
