Danihelis Prophetæ 8
1 Anno tertio regni Baltassar regis visio apparuit mihi Ego Daniel post id quod videram in principio
In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me. After that which I had seen in the beginning, I, Daniel,
2 vidi in visione mea cum essem in Susis castro quod est in Aelam regione vidi autem in visione esse me super portam Ulai
saw in my vision, that I was in the capital city of Susa, which is in the region of Elam, yet I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.
3 Et lavavi oculus meos et vidi et ecce aries unus stabat ante paludem habens cornua excelsa et unum excelsius altero atque succrescens Postea
And I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a single ram stood before the marsh, having two high horns, and one was higher than the other and growing higher still.
4 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
After this, I saw the ram brandishing his horns against the West, and against the North, and against the Meridian, and all the beasts could not withstand him, nor be freed from his hand, and he did according to his own will, and he became great.
5 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
And I understood, and behold, a he-goat among she-goats came from the West above the face of the entire earth, and he did not touch the ground. Furthermore, the he-goat had a preeminent horn between his eyes.
6 Et venit usque ad arietem illum cornutum quem videram stantem ante portam et cucurrit ad eum in impetu fortitudinis suae
And he went all the way to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength.
7 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
And when he approached near to the ram, he was enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him, and when he had cast him down on the ground, he trampled him, and no one was able to free the ram from his hand.
8 Hircus autem caprarum magnus factus est nimis cumque crevisset fractum est cornu magnum et orta sunt quattour cornua subter illud per quattuor ventos caeli
But the he-goat among she-goats became exceedingly great, and when he had prospered, the great horn was shattered, and four horns were rising up beneath it by means of the four winds of heaven.
9 De uno autem ex eis egressum est cornu unum modicum et factum est grande contra Meridiem et contra Orientem et contra fortitudinem
But from one of them came forth one little horn, and it became great against the Meridian, and against the East, and against the strength.
10 Et magnificatum est usque ad fortitudinem caeli et deiecit de fortitudine et de stellis et conculcavit eas
And it was magnified even towards the strength of heaven, and it threw down those of the strength and of the stars, and it trampled them.
11 Et usque ad principem fortitudinis magnificatum est et ab eo tulit iuge sacrificium et deiecit locum sanctificationis eius
And it was magnified, even to the leader of the strength, and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.
12 Robur autem datum est ei contra iuge sacrificium propter peccata et prosternetur veritas in terra et faciet et prosperabitur
And the advantage was given to him against the continual sacrifice, because of the sins, and truth will be struck down to the ground, and he will act, and he will prosper.
13 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
And I heard one of the holy ones speaking, and one saint said to another, (I know not to whom he was speaking, ) “What is the extent of the vision, and the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation, which has happened, and of the sanctuary and the strength, which will be trampled?”
14 Et dixit ei Usque ad vesperam at mane dies duo millia trecenti et mundabitur sanctuarium
And he said to him, “From evening until morning, two thousand three hundred days, and so the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
15 Factum est autem cum viderem ego Daniel visionem et quaererem intelligentiam ecce stetit in conspectu meo quasi species viri
But it came to pass, when I, Daniel, saw the vision and sought understanding that, behold, there stood in my sight something like the appearance of a man.
16 Et audivi vocem viri inter Ulai et clamavit et ait Gabriel fac intelligere istum visionem
And I heard the voice of a man within Ulai, and he called out and said, “Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.”
17 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
And he came and stood next to where I was standing, and when he approached, I fell on my face, trembling, and he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for in the time of the end the vision will be fulfilled.”
18 Cumque loqueretur ad me collapsus sum pronus in terram et tetigit me et statuit me in gradu meo
And when he spoke to me, I fell forward onto the ground, and so he touched me and stood me upright.
19 dixitque mihi Ego ostendam tibi quae futura sunt in novissimo maledictionis quoniam habet tempus finem suum
And he said to me, “I will reveal to you what the future things are in the earlier tribulation, for the time has its end.
20 Aries quem vidisti habere cornua rex Medorum est atque Persarum
The ram, which you saw to have horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.
21 Porro hircus caprarum rex Graecorum est et cornu grande quod erat inter oculos eius ipse est rex primus
Furthermore, the he-goat among she-goats is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn, which was between his eyes, is the same one, the first king.
22 Quod autem fracto illo surrexerunt quattuor pro eo quattuor reges de gente eius consurgent sed non in fortitudine eius
And since, having been shattered, there grew four in its place, four kings will rise up from his people, but not in his strength.
23 Et post regnum eorum cum creverint iniquitates consurget rex impundes facie et intelligens propositiones
And after their reign, when iniquities will be increased, there will arise a king of shameless face and understanding negotiations.
24 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
And his advantage will be strengthened, but not by his kind of force, and other than what he will be able to trust, everything will be eradicated, and he will prosper, and he will act. And he will execute the successful and the people of the saints,
25 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
according to his will, and treachery will be guided by his hand. And his heart will be inflated, and by the abundance of everything he will kill many, and he will rise up against the Lord of lords, and he will be knocked down without a hand.
26 Et visio vespere et mane quae dicta est vera est tu ergo visionem signa quia post multos dies erit
And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true. Therefore, you must seal the vision, because, after many days, it will occur.”
27 Et ego Daniel langui et aegrotavi per dies cumque surrexissem faciebam opera regis et stupebam ad visionem et non erat qui interpretaretur
And I, Daniel, languished and was sick for some days, and when I had lifted myself up, I performed the king’s works, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none who could interpret it.
