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, to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
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 a vision, and when I saw, I was in Shushan, in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and 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
And 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, and one was higher than the other; and the higher 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 beast could stand before him, and none 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
And I gave heed, and behold, a he-goat came from the west, over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous 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 came to the ram which had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran against 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
And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him, and smote the ram, and broke in pieces his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and none could deliver the ram out of 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
And the he-goat became exceedingly great; but when he became strong the great horn was broken, and instead of it grew up four conspicuous ones 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
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly 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
And it exalted itself even to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11 Et usque ad principem fortitudinis magnificatum est et ab eo tulit iuge sacrificium et deiecit locum sanctificationis eius
Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and the daily sacrifice did he take away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 Robur autem datum est ei contra iuge sacrificium propter peccata et prosternetur veritas in terra et faciet et prosperabitur
And a host was placed over the daily sacrifice with impiety, and it cast down truth to the ground, and it accomplished its purpose and prospered.
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 a holy one speak; and another holy one said to the one that had spoken, To how long a time extendeth the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the impiety of the destroyer, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 Et dixit ei Usque ad vesperam at mane dies duo millia trecenti et mundabitur sanctuarium
And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
15 Factum est autem cum viderem ego Daniel visionem et quaererem intelligentiam ecce stetit in conspectu meo quasi species viri
And it came to pass, that when I Daniel saw the vision, I sought for the meaning; and behold, there stood one before me having the appearance of a man.
16 Et audivi vocem viri inter Ulai et clamavit et ait Gabriel fac intelligere istum visionem
And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called and said, Gabriel, make this man to 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 near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face, and he said to me, Understand, O son of man! for this vision relateth 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
But when he spake to me, I sank senseless upon my face to the ground; but he touched me, and lifted me up where I had stood.
19 dixitque mihi Ego ostendam tibi quae futura sunt in novissimo maledictionis quoniam habet tempus finem suum
And he said, Behold, I make known to thee what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for [[the vision relateth]] to the time of the end.
20 Aries quem vidisti habere cornua rex Medorum est atque Persarum
The ram which thou sawest, having two horns, denoteth 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
And the rough goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn 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
And as that was broken, and four arose in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of the nation, but not with his power.
23 Et post regnum eorum cum creverint iniquitates consurget rex impundes facie et intelligens propositiones
And toward the end of their reign, when the transgressors have filled up the measure of their iniquities, a king shall arise of a fierce countenance, and cunning in artifices.
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 power shall become mighty, but not by his own strength; and wonderfully will he destroy, and prosper, and accomplish his purposes, and he will destroy many, even the people of the holy ones.
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
And through his cunning will he cause fraud to prosper in his hand, and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in the midst of security, and against the Prince of princes will he stand up; but he shall be broken without 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 thee, is true; but do thou seal up the vision, for it relates to many days.
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 fainted, and was sick some days; then I rose up and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but no one explained it.
