Daniel 8
1 En la troisième année du règne du roi Baltassar, une vision m’apparut. Moi, Daniel, après ce que j’avais vu au commencement,
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.
2 Je vis en ma vision, quand j’étais au château de Suse, qui est dans la région d’Elam, je vis en ma vision que j’étais sur la porte d’Ulaï.
And I saw in the vision, now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam, and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
3 Et je levai les yeux, et je vis: et voici un bélier qui se tenait devant le marais, ayant des cornes hautes, et l’une plus haute que l’autre et qui croissait. Ensuite
Then 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, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 Je vis que le bélier frappait de ses cornes contre l’occident, et contre l’aquilon, et contre le midi; et aucune bête ne pouvait ni lui résister, ni se délivrer de sa puissance; et il fit selon sa volonté, et il devint très puissant.
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no beasts could stand before him, nor was there any that could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
5 Et je considérais attentivement; mais voici qu’un bouc de chèvres venait de l’occident sur la face de toute la terre, et il ne touchait pas la terre; or le bouc avait une corne remarquable entre les yeux.
And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 Et il vint jusqu’à ce bélier qui avait des cornes, et que j’avais vu se tenant devant la porte, et il courut à lui dans l’impétuosité de sa force.
And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power.
7 Et lorsqu’il fut près du bélier, il se jeta avec furie sur lui, et le frappa, et brisa ses deux cornes; et le bélier ne pouvait lui résister; et lorsqu’il l’eut jeté à terre, il le foula aux pieds, et personne ne pouvait délivrer le bélier de sa puissance.
And I saw him come close to the ram. And he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him. And there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Alors le bouc des chèvres devint extrêmement grand; et lorsqu’il eut crû, sa grande corne se rompit, et quatre cornes s’élevèrent sous celle-là vers les quatre vents du ciel.
And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly. And when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Et de l’une d’elles sortit une petite corne; et elle devint grande vers le midi, et vers l’orient, et vers la force.
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
10 Et elle s’éleva jusqu’à la force du ciel, et renversa une partie de la force, et des étoiles, et les foula aux pieds.
And it grew great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled upon them.
11 Et elle s’éleva jusqu’au prince de la force, elle lui ravit son sacrifice perpétuel, et renversa le lieu de sa sanctification.
Yea, it magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host. And it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 Or la force lui fut donnée contre le sacrifice perpétuel, à cause des péchés; et la vérité sera abattue sur la terre, et il agira, et il prospérera.
And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
13 Et j’entendis un des saints parlant; et un saint dit à l’autre, je ne sais lequel, qui parlait: Jusques à quand la vision, et le sacrifice perpétuel, et le péché qui a causé la désolation; jusques à quand le sanctuaire, et la force sera foulée aux pieds?
Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision of the continual burnt offering, and the transgression that make desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 Et il dit: Jusqu’à un soir et un matin, deux mille trois cents jours, et le sanctuaire sera purifié.
And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
15 Or, il arriva que, lorsque je voyais, moi Daniel, la vision, et que j’en cherchais l’intelligence, voilà que s’arrêta en ma présence comme la ressemblance d’un homme.
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it, and, behold, there stood before me someone as the appearance of a man.
16 Et j’entendis la voix d’un homme entre l’Ulaï, et il cria et me dit: Gabriel, fais-lui comprendre cette vision.
And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17 Et il vint, et il s’arrêta près du lieu où moi j’étais; et lorsqu’il fut venu, effrayé je tombai sur ma face, et il me dit: Comprends, fils d’un homme, parce qu’au temps de la fin s’accomplira la vision.
So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was frightened, and fell upon my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.
18 Et comme il me parlait, je tombai incliné vers la terre; et il me toucha, et il me remit sur mes pieds,
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.
19 Et il me dit: C’est moi qui te montrerai les choses qui doivent arriver au dernier moment de la malédiction, parce que le temps a sa fin.
And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 Le bélier que tu as vu, qui avait des cornes, est le roi des Mèdes et des Perses.
The ram which thou saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Mais le bouc des chèvres est le roi de« Grecs, et la grande corne qui était entre ses yeux, c’est le premier roi.
And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Or celle-ci ayant été rompue, quatre se sont élevées à sa place; quatre rois de sa nation s’élèveront, mais non avec sa force.
And as for that which was broken, in the place of which four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
23 Et après leur règne, lorsque les iniquités se seront accrues, un roi à la face impudente viendra et comprendra les choses cachées;
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding hidden things, shall stand up.
24 Et sa puissance s’affermira, mais non par ses propres forces; et il dévastera toutes choses au-delà de ce que l’on peut croire, et il prospérera, et il agira. Et il tuera des forts, et un peuple de saints
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy amazingly, and shall prosper and do his pleasure. And he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
25 Selon sa volonté, et la fraude sera dirigée par sa main; et il élèvera son cœur, et dans son abondance de toutes choses il fera périr un très grand nombre de victimes, et contre le prince des princes il s’élèvera, et sans la main d’aucun homme il sera brisé.
And through his policy he shall cause deceit to prosper in his hand, and he shall magnify himself in his heart. And he shall destroy many in their security. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, but he shall be broken without a hand.
26 Et la vision du soir et du matin, qui a été mentionnée, est véritable; toi donc, scelle la vision, parce que c’est après bien des jours qu’elle sera accomplie.
And the vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true. But shut thou up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.
27 Et moi Daniel, j’ai langui et j’ai été malade pendant des jours; et, lorsque je me fus levé, je travaillais aux affaires du roi, et j’étais dans la stupeur au sujet de la vision, et il n’y avait personne qui l’interprétât.
And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days. Then I rose up, and did the king's business. And I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.
