Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
Anno tertio regni Baltassar regis visio apparuit mihi Ego Daniel post id quod videram in principio
2 I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
vidi in visione mea cum essem in Susis castro quod est in Aelam regione vidi autem in visione esse me super portam Ulai
3 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Et lavavi oculus meos et vidi et ecce aries unus stabat ante paludem habens cornua excelsa et unum excelsius altero atque succrescens Postea
4 I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
vidi arietem cornibus ventilantem contra Occidentem et contra Aquilonem et contra Meridiem et omnes bestiae non poterant resistere ei neque liberari de manu eius fecitque secundum voluntatem suam et magnificatus est
5 As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
Et ego intelligebam ecce autem hircus caprarum veniebat ab Occidente super faciem totius terrae et non tangebat terram porro hircus habebat cornu insigne inter oculos suos
6 He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.
Et venit usque ad arietem illum cornutum quem videram stantem ante portam et cucurrit ad eum in impetu fortitudinis suae
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. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Cumque appropinquasset prope arietem efferatus est in eum et percussit arietem et comminuit duo cornua eius et non poterat aries resistere ei cumque eum misisset in terram conculcavit et nemo quibat liberare arietem de manu eius
8 The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.
Hircus autem caprarum magnus factus est nimis cumque crevisset fractum est cornu magnum et orta sunt quattour cornua subter illud per quattuor ventos caeli
9 Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
De uno autem ex eis egressum est cornu unum modicum et factum est grande contra Meridiem et contra Orientem et contra fortitudinem
10 It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.
Et magnificatum est usque ad fortitudinem caeli et deiecit de fortitudine et de stellis et conculcavit eas
11 Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Et usque ad principem fortitudinis magnificatum est et ab eo tulit iuge sacrificium et deiecit locum sanctificationis eius
12 The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
Robur autem datum est ei contra iuge sacrificium propter peccata et prosternetur veritas in terra et faciet et prosperabitur
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”
Et audivi unum de sanctis loquentem et dixit unus sanctus alteri nescio cui loquenti Usquequo visio et iuge sacrificium et peccatum desolationis quae facta est et sanctuarium et fortitudo conculcabitur
14 He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
Et dixit ei Usque ad vesperam at mane dies duo millia trecenti et mundabitur sanctuarium
15 When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.
Factum est autem cum viderem ego Daniel visionem et quaererem intelligentiam ecce stetit in conspectu meo quasi species viri
16 I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
Et audivi vocem viri inter Ulai et clamavit et ait Gabriel fac intelligere istum visionem
17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”
Et venit et stetit iuxta ubi ego stabam cumque venisset pavens corrui in faciem meam et ait ad me Intellige fili hominis quoniam in tempore finis complebitur visio
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 set me upright.
Cumque loqueretur ad me collapsus sum pronus in terram et tetigit me et statuit me in gradu meo
19 He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
dixitque mihi Ego ostendam tibi quae futura sunt in novissimo maledictionis quoniam habet tempus finem suum
20 The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Aries quem vidisti habere cornua rex Medorum est atque Persarum
21 The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Porro hircus caprarum rex Graecorum est et cornu grande quod erat inter oculos eius ipse est rex primus
22 As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
Quod autem fracto illo surrexerunt quattuor pro eo quattuor reges de gente eius consurgent sed non in fortitudine eius
23 “In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.
Et post regnum eorum cum creverint iniquitates consurget rex impundes facie et intelligens propositiones
24 His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
et roborabitur fortitudo eius sed non in viribus suis et supra quam credi potest universa vastabit et prosperabitur et faciet Et interficiet robustos et populum sanctorum
25 Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.
secundum voluntatem suam et dirigetur dolus in manu eius et cor suum magnificabit et in copia rerum omnium occidet plurimos et contra principem principum consurget et sine manu conteretur
26 “The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”
Et visio vespere et mane quae dicta est vera est tu ergo visionem signa quia post multos dies erit
27 I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
Et ego Daniel langui et aegrotavi per dies cumque surrexissem faciebam opera regis et stupebam ad visionem et non erat qui interpretaretur
