Книга пророка Даниила 8
1 В лето третие царства Валтасара царя видение явися мне, аз Даниил, по явльшемся мне прежде.
In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 И бех в Сусех граде, иже есть во стране Еламстей, и видех в видении, и бех на Увале,
I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
3 и воздвигох очи мои и видех: и се, овен един стоя пред увалом емуже рози, рози же высоцы, един же вышше другаго, и вышший восхождаше последи.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 И видех овна бодуща на запад и на север, и на юг и на восток: и вси зверие не станут пред ним, и не бе избавляюща из руки его, и сотвори по воли своей, и возвеличися.
I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
5 Аз же бех размышляя, и се козел от коз идяше от лива на лице всея земли и не бе прикасаяся земли, и козлу тому рог видимь между очима его:
As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 и прииде до овна имущаго рога егоже видех стояща пред увалом, и тече к нему в силе крепости своея.
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.
7 И видех его доходяща до овна, и разсвирепе на него, и порази овна, и сокруши оба рога его: и не бе силы овну, еже стати противу ему: и поверже его на землю и попра его, и не бе избавляяй овна от руки его.
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. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 И козел козий возвеличися до зела: и внегда укрепися, сокрушися рог его великий, и взыдоша друзии четыри рози под ним, по четырем ветром небесным:
The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.
9 и от единаго их взыде рог един крепок, и возвеличися вельми к югу и к востоку и к силе,
Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
10 и возвеличися даже до силы небесныя: и сотвори пасти на землю от силы небесныя и от звезд, и попра я:
It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.
11 и дондеже Архистратиг избавит пленники, и Его ради жертва смятеся, и благопоспешися Ему, и святое опустеет:
Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 и дадеся на жертву грех, и повержеся правда на землю: и сотвори, и благопоспешися.
The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
13 И слышах единаго святаго глаголюща. И рече един святый другому некоему глаголющему: доколе видение станет, жертва отятая, и грех опустения данный, и святое и сила поперется?
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”
14 И рече ему: даже до вечера и утра дний две тысящы и триста, и очистится святое.
He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
15 И бысть, егда видех аз Даниил видение и взысках ведения, и се, ста предо мною аки образ мужеск,
When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.
16 и слышах глас мужеск среде Увала, и призва и рече: Гаврииле, скажи видение оному.
I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
17 И прииде и ста близ стояния моего: и егда прииде ужасохся и падох на лице мое. И рече ко мне: разумей, сыне человечь, еще бо до скончания времене видение.
So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”
18 И егда глаголаше со мною, падох ниц на земли, и прикоснуся мне, и постави мя на ноги моя, и рече:
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me and set me upright.
19 се, аз возвещаю тебе будущая на последок гнева (сыном людий твоих): еще бо до конца времене видение.
He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 Овен, егоже видел еси имуща рога, царь Мидский и Персский:
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 а козел козий царь Еллинский есть: рог же великий, иже между очима его, той есть царь первый:
The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 сему же сокрушившуся восташа четыри рози под ним: четыри царие востанут от языка его, но не в крепости его,
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
23 и на последок царства их, исполняющымся грехом их, востанет царь безсрамен лицем и разумея гадания,
“In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.
24 и державна крепость его, не в крепости же своей, и чудесно растлит и управит и сотворит, и разсыплет крепкия и люди святы,
His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
25 и ярем вериг своих исправит: лесть в руце его, и в сердцы своем возвеличится, и лестию разсыплет многих, и на пагубу многим возстанет, и яко яица рукою сокрушит.
Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.
26 И видение вечера и утра реченнаго истинно есть: ты же назнаменай видение, яко на дни многи.
“The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”
27 Аз же Даниил успох и изнемогах на дни (многи), и востах и творях дела царева, и почудихся видению, и не бяше разумевающаго.
I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
