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 unto me, [even] to me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
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.
And I saw in the vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was in the fortress of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river 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 mine 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 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.
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no beast could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and 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 as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable 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 came to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power.
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 I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged with him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and 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 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.
And the he-goat became exceeding great; but when he was become strong, the great horn was broken; and in its stead came up four notable ones toward the four winds of the heavens.
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.
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauty [of the earth].
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 became 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 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 he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host, and from him the continual [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
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 a time of trial was appointed unto the continual [sacrifice] by reason of transgression.) And it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised and prospered.
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 saint speaking, and another saint said unto that one who spoke, How long shall be the vision of the continual [sacrifice] and of the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden down under foot?
14 E elle me disse: Até duas mil e trezentas tardes e manhãs; e o sanctuario será justificado.
And he said unto me, Until two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings: then shall the sanctuary be vindicated.
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.
And it came to pass, when I Daniel had seen the vision, I sought for the understanding of it, and behold, there stood before me as 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 a man's voice between [the banks of] the Ulai; and he called and said, Gabriel, make this [man] to 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 near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell on my face; and he said unto me, Understand, son of man; for the vision is for the time of the end.
18 E, estando elle fallando comigo, cahi adormecido sobre o meu rosto por terra: elle, pois, me tocou, e me fez estar em pé.
Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep stupor, with my face toward the ground. And he touched me, and set me up where I had stood.
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, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be at the end of the indignation: for at the set time the end shall be.
20 Aquelle carneiro que viste com duas pontas são os reis da Media e da Persia,
The ram that thou sawest having the two horns: they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Porém o bode pelludo é o rei da Grecia; e a ponta grande que tinha entre os olhos é o rei primeiro;
And the rough goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that was between his eyes is 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.
Now that being broken, whereas four stood up in its stead, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
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 at the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors shall have come to the full, a king of bold countenance, and understanding riddles, shall stand up.
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 power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy marvellously, and shall prosper, and shall practise, and shall destroy the mighty ones, 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
And through his cunning shall he cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he will magnify [himself] in his heart, and by prosperity will corrupt many; and he will stand up against the Prince of princes: but he shall be broken without 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 hath been told is true; but close thou up the vision, for it is for many days [to come].
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 fainted, and was sick [certain] days: then I rose up, and did the king's business. And I was astonished at the vision, but none understood [it].
