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 king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me previously.
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 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 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.
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 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 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 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;
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 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.
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 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
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 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.
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 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.
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 E se engrandeceu até ao exercito do céu: e a alguns do exercito, e das estrellas, deitou por terra, e as pizou.
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 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 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 E o exercito foi entregue por causa das transgressões contra o continuo sacrificio; e lançou a verdade por terra, e o fez, e prosperou.
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 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?
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 E elle me disse: Até duas mil e trezentas tardes e manhãs; e o sanctuario será justificado.
He said to me, "To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be restored to its rightful state."
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.
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 E ouvi uma voz de homem entre as margens do Ulai, a qual gritou, e disse: Gabriel, dá a entender a este a visão.
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 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.
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 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 fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but 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.
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 Aquelle carneiro que viste com duas pontas são os reis da Media e da Persia,
The ram which you saw, that had 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;
The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn that is 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.
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 Mas, no fim do seu reinado, quando os prevaricadores acabarem de prevaricar, se levantará um rei, feroz de cara, e será entendido em adivinhações.
In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressions have reached their full measure, a rash and deceitful king shall arise.
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.
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 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
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 E a visão da tarde e da manhã, que foi dita, é verdade: tu, porém, cerra a visão, porque é para muitos dias.
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 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.
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.
