Daniel 8

1 No ano terceiro do reinado do rei Belshazzar apareceu-me uma visão, a mim, Daniel, depois daquela que me apareceu no princípio.

In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision, appeared unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the beginning.

2 E vi numa visão (e aconteceu, quando vi, que eu estava na cidadela de Susan, que está na província de Elam), vi pois, numa visão, que eu estava junto ao rio Ulai.

So then I saw, in the vision, and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was in Shusan the fortress, which is in Persia the province, —yea I saw it in a vision, when, 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 último.

So then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and lo! a ram, standing before the river, and, it, had two horns, —and, the two horns, were high, but, the one, was higher than the other, and, the higher, had come up, last.

4 Vi que o carneiro dava marradas para o ocidente, e para o norte e para o meio dia; e nenhuns animais podiam parar diante dele, nem havia quem livrasse da sua mão; e fazia conforme a sua vontade, e se engrandecia.

I saw the ram, pushing strongly westward and northward and southward, so that no wild beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand, —but he did according to his own pleasure, and shewed himself great.

5 E, estando eu considerando, eis que um bode vinha do ocidente sobre toda a terra, e não tocava a terra; e aquele bode tinha uma ponta insigne entre os olhos;

Now, I, was observing, when lo! a he-goat, coming in out of the west, over the face of all the earth, but it meddled not with the earth, —and, the goat, had a conspicuous 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 ele com todo o ímpeto da sua força.

So then he came up to the ram having the two horns, which I had seen, standing before the river, —and ran unto him, in the fury of his strength.

7 E o vi chegar perto do carneiro, e se irritou contra ele, e feriu o carneiro, e lhe quebrou as duas pontas, pois não havia força no carneiro para parar diante dele, e o lançou por terra, e o pizou a pés; nem houve quem livrasse o carneiro da sua mão

Yea I saw him coming close upon the ram, and he was enraged at him, and smote the ram, and brake in pieces both his horns, and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, —but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled him underfoot, and there was none could deliver the ram out of his power.

8 E o bode se engrandeceu em grande maneira; mas, estando na sua maior força, aquela grande ponta foi quebrada: e subiram no seu lugar outras quatro insignes, para os quatro ventos do céu.

But, the he-goat, shewed himself very great, —and, when he had become mighty, the great horn, was broken in pieces, and there came up afterwards four, in its stead, towards the four winds of the heavens;

9 E de uma delas 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 the first of them, came forth a little horn, —which became exceedingly great, against the south and against the east, and against the beautiful [land];

10 E se engrandeceu até ao exército do céu: e a alguns do exército, e das estrelas, deitou por terra, e as pizou.

yea it became great as far as the host of the heavens, —and caused to fall, to the earth, some of the host and some of the stars, and trampled them underfoot;

11 E se engrandeceu até ao príncipe do exército: e por ele foi tirado o contínuo sacrifício, e o lugar do seu santuário foi lançado por terra.

even as far as the ruler of the host, shewed he his greatness, —and, because of him, was taken away the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and the place of the sanctuary, was cast down;

12 E o exército foi entregue por causa das transgressões contra o contínuo sacrifício; e lançou a verdade por terra, e o fez, e prosperou.

and, a host, was set over the continual [ascending-sacrifice], by transgression, —and faithfulness, was cast down, to the ground, and so he acted with effect, and succeeded.

13 Depois ouvi um santo que falava; e disse o santo àquele que falava: Até quando durará a visão do contínuo sacrifício, e da transgressão assoladora, para que seja entregue o santuário, e o exército, para ser pizado?

Then heard I a certain holy one, speaking, —and another holy one said to that certain holy one who was speaking—How long is the vision of the continual [ascending-sacrifice] as taken away, and the transgression which astoundeth, for both sanctuary and host to be given over to be trampled underfoot?

14 E ele me disse: Até duas mil e trezentas tardes e manhãs; e o santuário será justificado.

And he said unto him, Until two thousand and three hundred evening-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, —and had sought discernment, that lo! there was standing 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.

Then heard I a human voice, between [the banks of] the Ulai, —which cried out, and said, Gabriel! cause this man to understand the revelation.

17 E veio perto de onde eu estava; e, vindo ele, me assombrei, e caí sobre o meu rosto; porém ele 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 terrified, and fell upon my face, —but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man, that, to the time of the end, belongeth the vision.

18 E, estando ele falando comigo, caí adormecido sobre o meu rosto por terra: ele, pois, me tocou, e me fez estar em pé.

And, when he spake with me, I fell stunned upon my face, to the earth, —but he touched me, and caused me to stand up where I was.

19 E disse: Eis que te farei saber o que há de acontecer no último tempo da ira; porque no tempo determinado será o fim.

Then said he, Behold me! causing thee to know, that which shall come to pass in the afterpart of the indignation, —for, at an appointed time, shall be an end.

20 Aquele carneiro que viste com duas pontas são os reis da Media e da Pérsia,

The ram which thou sawest, having the two horns, representeth the kings of Media and Persia;

21 Porém o bode peludo é o rei da Grécia; e a ponta grande que tinha entre os olhos é o rei primeiro;

and, the he-goat, is the king of Greece, —and, the great horn which was between his eyes, the same, is the first king.

22 E que, sendo quebrada ela, se levantassem quatro em lugar dela, significa que quatro reinos se levantarão da mesma nação, mas não com a força dela.

Now, as for its being broken in pieces, whereupon there stood up four in its stead, four kingdoms, out of his nation, shall stand up, but not with 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.

but, in the aftertime of their kingdom, when transgressions, have filled up their measure, —there will stand up a king of mighty presence, and skilful in dissimulation;

24 E se fortalecerá a sua força, mas não pela força dele mesmo; e destruirá maravilhosamente, e prosperará, e o seu prazer fará: e destruirá os fortes e o povo santo.

and his strength, will be mighty, but not through his own strength, and, wonderfully, will he destroy, and succeed and act with effect, —and will destroy mighty ones, and the people of holy ones;

25 E pelo seu entendimento também fará prosperar o engano na sua mão; e no seu coração se engrandecerá, e pela tranquilidade destruirá muitos; e se levantará contra o príncipe dos príncipes, mas sem mão será quebrado

and, by his cunning, will he both cause deceit to succeed in his hand, and, in his own heart, will he shew himself to be great, and, by their careless security, will he destroy many, —and, against the ruler of rulers, will he stand up, but, without hand, shall be broken in pieces.

26 E a visão da tarde e da manhã, que foi dita, é verdade: tu, porém, cerra a visão, porque é para muitos dias.

Now, the revelation of the evening and the morning which hath been told, faithful, indeed it is, —but, thou, close up the vision, because it is for many days.

27 E eu, Daniel, enfraqueci, e estive enfermo alguns dias; então levantei-me e fiz o negócio do rei: e espantei-me acerca da visão, e não havia quem a entendesse.

Now, as for me Daniel, then was I sick for days, but I arose and did the business of the king, —and, though I was confounded concerning the revelation, yet could no one discern it.
