Daniel 8
1 During the third year that Belshazzar was the King [of Babylonia], I had another vision.
В третата година от царуването на цар Валтасара видение ми се яви, на мене Даниила, подир онова, което бе ми се явило по-напред.
2 In that vision I was in Susa, the capital city of Elam Province. I was [standing] alongside the Ulai Canal.
Видях във видението, (а когато видях, бях в замъка Суса, който е в областта Елам; и когато видях във видението бях при потока Улай),
3 I looked up and saw a ram that was standing alongside the canal. It had two [long] horns, but the newest one was longer than the other one.
прочее повдигнах очите си и видях, и, ето, стоеше пред реката един овен, който имаше два рога; роговете бяха високи, но единият по-висок от другия; и по-високият беше израснал по-после.
4 The ram butted/knocked away [with its horns] everything that was west and everything that was north and everything that was south of it. There were no [other] animals that were able to oppose it, and none that could rescue/save [other animals] from its power. The ram did whatever it wanted to do and became very powerful.
Видях, овенът че бодеше към запад, към север, и към юг; и никой звяр не можеше да устои пред него, и нямаше кой да избави от силата му; но постъпваше по волята си, и се носеше горделиво.
5 While I was thinking [about what I had seen, in the vision] I saw a goat come from the west. It ran across the land so quickly, that [it seemed like] its feet did not touch the ground. This goat had one very large horn between its eyes.
А като размишлявах, ето, козел идеше от запад по лицето на целия свят, без да се допира до земята; и козелът имаше бележит рог между очите си.
6 It was very angry, and it ran [straight] toward the ram that I had seen [previously, the ram] that was standing alongside the canal.
Той дойде до овена, който имаше двата рога, който видях да стои пред потока, и завтече се върху него с устремителната си сила.
7 The goat struck the ram furiously and broke off its two horns, with the result that the ram was unable [to defend itself]. [So] the goat knocked the ram down and trampled on it. No one could rescue the ram from the goat’s power.
И видях, че се приближи при овена и се разсвирепи против него, и като удари овена счупи двата му рога; и нямаше сила в овена да устои пред него; но го хвърли на земята и го стъпка; и нямаше кой да отърве овена от силата му.
8 The goat became very powerful. But when its power was very great, its horn was broken off. But four [other] large horns took its place. They each pointed in a different direction.
За това, козелът се възвеличи много; а когато заякна, големият му рог се счупи, вместо който излязоха четири бележити рога към четирите небесни ветрища.
9 [Then] from one of those [large horns] appeared a little horn, which became very big, [and pointed] toward the south and [then] toward the east and [then] toward the beautiful land [of Israel].
И из единия от тях излезе един малък рог, който наголемя твърде много към юг, към изток и към славната земя.
10 [The man who was represented by] that horn became very strong, with the result that he attacked some of the [soldiers of the] army of heaven, and (OR, meaning) the stars in the sky [which represented God’s people]. He threw some of them to the ground and trampled on them.
Той се възвеличи дори до небесната войска, и хвърли на земята част от множеството и от звездите и ги стъпка.
11 He (defied/considered himself to be greater than) the leader of the army [of heaven], and prevented [priests from] offering sacrifices to him. He also (defiled the temple/caused the temple to become unholy).
Да! Възвеличи се дори до началника на множеството, и отне от него всегдашната жертва; и мястото на светилището му се съсипа.
12 Then God’s people allowed the [man who was represented by] that horn to control/rule them, with the result that they sinned by offering sacrifices to him. And he threw to the ground the [laws that contained the] true religion. Everything that he did was successful.
И множеството биде предадено нему заедно с всегдашната жертва, поради престъплението им; и той тръшна на земята истината, стори по волята си, и успя.
13 Then I heard two angels who were talking to each other. One of them asked, “How long will the things/events that were in this vision continue? How long will the man who rebels against God and causes [the temple] to be defiled be able to prevent [priests from] offering sacrifices? How long will he trample on the temple and on the armies of heaven?”
Тогава чух един свет да говори; и друг свет рече на тогоз, който говореше: Докога се простира видението за всегдашната жертва, и за престъплението, което докарва запустение, когато светилището и множеството ще бъдат потъпквани?
14 The other angel replied, “[It will continue] for 1,150 days. During all of that time, [people will not be permitted to offer sacrifices] in the morning or in the evening. After that, the temple will be purified.”
И каза ми: До две хиляди и триста денонощия; тогава светилището ще се очисти.
15 While I, Daniel, was trying to understand what the vision meant, suddenly [an angel] who resembled a man stood/appeared in front of me.
И когато аз, аз Даниил, видях видението, поисках да го разбера. И, ето, застана пред мене нещо като човешки образ;
16 And I heard a man call out from [the other side of] the Ulai Canal, saying, “Gabriel, explain to him the meaning of the vision [that he saw]!”
и чух човешки глас, който извика изсред бреговете на Улай и рече: Гаврииле, направи тоя човек да разбере видението.
17 So Gabriel came and stood beside me. I was very terrified, with the result that I fell onto the ground. But he said to me, “You human, it is necessary for you to understand that [the events that you saw in] the vision will occur [near] the time that [the world] will end.”
И така, той се приближи дето стоях; и когато дойде аз се уплаших и паднах на лицето си; а той ми рече: Разбери, сине човешки; защото видението се отнася до последните времена.
18 While he was speaking, I fainted. I lay there, unconscious, with my face still on the ground. But Gabriel put his hand on me and lifted me up in order that I could stand again.
И като ми говореше, аз паднах в несвяст с лицето си на земята; но той се допря до мене и ме изправи.
19 Then he said, “I [have come here to] tell you what will happen because of [God] being angry. These things will happen near the time when [the world] will end.
И рече: Ето, аз ще те науча що има да се случи в последните гневни времена; защото видението се отнася до определеното последно време.
20 As for the ram with two horns that you saw, those horns [represent] the kingdoms of Media and Persia.
Двата рога на овена, които си видял, са царете на Мидия и на Персия.
21 The goat [that you saw represents] the kingdom of Greece, and the horn that appeared between its eyes [represents] its first king.
Буйният козел е гръцкият цар; и големият рог между очите му е първият цар.
22 As for the four horns that grew after the first horn was broken off, they [represent] four kingdoms into which that first kingdom will be divided [after the first king dies]. Those four kingdoms will not be as strong/powerful as the first kingdom was.
А дето се строшил той и излезли четири вместо него, значи, че четири царе ще се издигнат от тоя народ, но не със сила като неговата.
23 The people [in those kingdoms] will become very wicked, with the result that it will be necessary for them to be punished. But near the time when those kingdoms will end, one of those kingdoms will have a king who will be very proud/defiant [IDM]. He will [also] be very fierce and very deceitful.
И в послешните времена на царуването им, когато беззаконниците стигнат до върха на беззаконието си, ще се издигне цар с жестоко лице и вещ в лукавщини.
24 He will become very powerful, but it will not be because of what he himself does. He will terribly destroy things in many places, and he will succeed in doing everything that he wants to. He will get rid of [many] powerful men, and [also] some of God’s people.
И силата му ще бъде голяма, но не като силата на другия; и ще погубва чудесно, ще успява и върши по волята си, и ще поквари силните и светите люде.
25 Because he is very cunning/clever, he will succeed by doing things that deceive many people. He will be proud of himself. He will destroy many people when they think that they are safe. He will also rebel against [God] [EUP], who is the greatest king. But [God] will destroy him, without the help [MTY] of any human being.
Чрез коварството си ще направи да успява измамата в ръката му, ще се надигне в сърцето си, и ще погуби мнозина в спокойствието им; ще въстане и против Началника на началниците; но ще бъде смазан, не с ръка.
26 What you saw in the vision about [priests being prevented from making] sacrifices in the morning and in the evening, which [I] explained [to you], will surely happen. But [for the present time], do not reveal the vision [to others], because it will be many years before those things happen.”
А казаното видение за денонощията е вярно; все пак обаче запечатай видението, защото се отнася до далечни дни.
27 Then I, Daniel, became weak, and I was sick for several days. Then I arose and [returned to] doing the work that the king [had given to me], but I was perplexed/confused about the vision, and I could not understand it.
Тогава аз Даниил премрях, и боледувах няколко дни; после станах и вършех царевите работи. А чудех се за видението, защото никой не го разбираше.
