Daniel 8
1 No anno terceiro do reinado do rei Belshazzar appareceu-me uma visão, a mim, Daniel, depois d'aquella que me appareceu no 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 E vi n'uma visão (e aconteceu, quando vi, que eu estava na cidadella de Susan, que está na provincia de Elam), vi pois, n'uma visão, que eu estava junto ao rio 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 E levantei os meus olhos, e vi, e eis que um carneiro estava diante do rio, o qual tinha duas pontas; e as duas pontas eram altas, porém uma era mais alta do que a outra; e a que era mais alta subiu por ultimo.
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 Vi que o carneiro dava marradas para o occidente, e para o norte e para o meio-dia; e nenhuns animaes podiam parar diante d'elle, nem havia quem livrasse da sua mão; e fazia conforme a sua vontade, e se engrandecia.
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 E, estando eu considerando, eis que um bode vinha do occidente sobre toda a terra, e não tocava a terra; e aquelle bode tinha uma ponta insigne entre os olhos;
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 E vinha ao carneiro que tinha as duas pontas, ao qual eu tinha visto em pé diante do rio; e correu contra elle com todo o impeto da sua força.
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 E o vi chegar perto do carneiro, e se irritou contra elle, e feriu o carneiro, e lhe quebrou as duas pontas, pois não havia força no carneiro para parar diante d'elle, e o lançou por terra, e o pizou a pés; nem houve quem livrasse o carneiro da sua mão
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 E o bode se engrandeceu em grande maneira; mas, estando na sua maior força, aquella grande ponta foi quebrada: e subiram no seu logar outras quatro insignes, para os quatro ventos do céu.
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 E de uma d'ellas saiu uma ponta mui pequena, a qual cresceu muito para o meio-dia, e para o oriente, e para a terra formosa.
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 E se engrandeceu até ao exercito do céu: e a alguns do exercito, e das estrellas, deitou por terra, e as pizou.
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 E se engrandeceu até ao principe do exercito: e por elle foi tirado o continuo sacrificio, e o logar do seu sanctuario foi lançado por terra.
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 E o exercito foi entregue por causa das transgressões contra o continuo sacrificio; e lançou a verdade por terra, e o fez, e prosperou.
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 Depois ouvi um sancto que fallava; e disse o sancto áquelle que fallava: Até quando durará a visão do continuo sacrificio, e da transgressão assoladora, para que seja entregue o sanctuario, e o exercito, para ser pizado?
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 E elle me disse: Até duas mil e trezentas tardes e manhãs; e o sanctuario será justificado.
And he said to him, “From evening until morning, two thousand three hundred days, and so the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
15 E aconteceu que, havendo eu, Daniel, visto a visão, busquei o entendimento, e eis que se me apresentou diante um com o parecer de homem.
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 E ouvi uma voz de homem entre as margens do Ulai, a qual gritou, e disse: Gabriel, dá a entender a este a visão.
And I heard the voice of a man within Ulai, and he called out and said, “Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.”
17 E veiu perto d'onde eu estava; e, vindo elle, me assombrei, e cahi sobre o meu rosto; porém elle me disse: Entende, filho do homem, porque acontecerá esta visão no fim do tempo.
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 E, estando elle fallando comigo, cahi adormecido sobre o meu rosto por terra: elle, pois, me tocou, e me fez estar em pé.
And when he spoke to me, I fell forward onto the ground, and so he touched me and stood me upright.
19 E disse: Eis que te farei saber o que ha de acontecer no ultimo tempo da ira; porque no tempo determinado será o fim.
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 Aquelle carneiro que viste com duas pontas são os reis da Media e da Persia,
The ram, which you saw to have horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.
21 Porém o bode pelludo é o rei da Grecia; e a ponta grande que tinha entre os olhos é o rei primeiro;
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 E que, sendo quebrada ella, se levantassem quatro em logar d'ella, significa que quatro reinos se levantarão da mesma nação, mas não com a força d'ella.
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 Mas, no fim do seu reinado, quando os prevaricadores acabarem de prevaricar, se levantará um rei, feroz de cara, e será entendido em adivinhações.
And after their reign, when iniquities will be increased, there will arise a king of shameless face and understanding negotiations.
24 E se fortalecerá a sua força, mas não pela força d'elle mesmo; e destruirá maravilhosamente, e prosperará, e o seu prazer fará: e destruirá os fortes e o povo sancto.
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 E pelo seu entendimento tambem fará prosperar o engano na sua mão; e no seu coração se engrandecerá, e pela tranquillidade destruirá muitos; e se levantará contra o principe dos principes, mas sem mão será quebrado
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 E a visão da tarde e da manhã, que foi dita, é verdade: tu, porém, cerra a visão, porque é para muitos dias.
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 E eu, Daniel, enfraqueci, e estive enfermo alguns dias; então levantei-me e fiz o negocio do rei: e espantei-me ácerca da visão, e não havia quem a entendesse.
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.
