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 king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me previously.
2 vidi in visione mea cum essem in Susis castro quod est in Aelam regione vidi autem in visione esse me super portam Ulai
And I saw in the vision, and when I looked, I was in the citadel of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river 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
Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one came up last.
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
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand. But he did according to his will, and 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
As I was considering, look, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a prominent 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
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and rushed at him in the fury of his power.
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
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. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he threw him down to the ground and trampled on him, and there was no one who could deliver the ram from his power.
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
The male goat became very strong. But when he was strong, the large horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four prominent horns toward 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
Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.
10 Et magnificatum est usque ad fortitudinem caeli et deiecit de fortitudine et de stellis et conculcavit eas
It grew so great that it reached to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.
11 Et usque ad principem fortitudinis magnificatum est et ab eo tulit iuge sacrificium et deiecit locum sanctificationis eius
And it magnified itself, even against the Prince of the host; and it took away from him the daily sacrifice, and the place of his sanctuary was thrown down.
12 Robur autem datum est ei contra iuge sacrificium propter peccata et prosternetur veritas in terra et faciet et prosperabitur
The host was given over to it together with the daily sacrifice because of transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and kept prospering.
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
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled?"
14 Et dixit ei Usque ad vesperam at mane dies duo millia trecenti et mundabitur sanctuarium
He said to me, "To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be restored to its rightful state."
15 Factum est autem cum viderem ego Daniel visionem et quaererem intelligentiam ecce stetit in conspectu meo quasi species viri
It came about when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it. And look, there stood before me someone who appeared to be a man.
16 Et audivi vocem viri inter Ulai et clamavit et ait Gabriel fac intelligere istum visionem
I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and called out and said, "Gabriel, make this man 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
So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was frightened, and fell prostrate. But he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision belongs to the time of the end."
18 Cumque loqueretur ad me collapsus sum pronus in terram et tetigit me et statuit me in gradu meo
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright.
19 dixitque mihi Ego ostendam tibi quae futura sunt in novissimo maledictionis quoniam habet tempus finem suum
He said, "Look, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of wrath, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 Aries quem vidisti habere cornua rex Medorum est atque Persarum
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Porro hircus caprarum rex Graecorum est et cornu grande quod erat inter oculos eius ipse est rex primus
The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Quod autem fracto illo surrexerunt quattuor pro eo quattuor reges de gente eius consurgent sed non in fortitudine eius
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall arise out of his nation, but not with his power.
23 Et post regnum eorum cum creverint iniquitates consurget rex impundes facie et intelligens propositiones
In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressions have reached their full measure, a rash and deceitful king shall arise.
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
His power shall be great, but not by his own strength; and he shall cause terrible destruction, and shall succeed in whatever he does. And he shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
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
Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper by his influence, and he shall be great in his own mind, and without warning he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be shattered, but not by human hands.
26 Et visio vespere et mane quae dicta est vera est tu ergo visionem signa quia post multos dies erit
The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision because it refers to many days from now."
27 Et ego Daniel langui et aegrotavi per dies cumque surrexissem faciebam opera regis et stupebam ad visionem et non erat qui interpretaretur
I, Daniel, was overcome, and was ill for days. Then I rose up, and carried out the king's business. And I was astonished by the vision, but there was no one to explain it.
