Daniel 8

1 Nang ikatlong taon ng paghahari ng haring Belsasar, ang isang pangitain ay napakita sa akin, sa aking si Daniel, pagkatapos noong napakita sa akin nang una.

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

2 At ako'y may nakita sa pangitain: nangyari nga, na nang aking makita, nasa Susan ako na palacio, na nasa lalawigan ng Elam; at ako'y may nakita sa pangitain, at ako'y nasa tabi ng ilog Ulai.

And I saw in the vision—and it came to pass, in my seeing, that I was at Shushan the capital, which is in the province of 'Elam; —and I saw in the vision, as though I was by the river Ulai.

3 Nang magkagayo'y itiningin ko ang aking mga mata, at ako'y may nakita, at narito, tumayo sa harap ng ilog ang isang lalaking tupa na may dalawang sungay: at ang dalawang sungay ay mataas; nguni't ang isa'y lalong mataas kay sa isa, at ang lalong mataas ay tumaas na huli.

And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there was a ram standing before the river, and he had two horns; and the horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.

4 Aking nakita ang lalaking tupa na nanunudlong sa dakong kalunuran, at sa dakong hilagaan, at sa dakong timugan; at walang hayop na makatayo sa harap niya, ni wala sinoman na makapagligtas mula sa kaniyang kamay; kundi kaniyang ginawa ang ayon sa kaniyang kalooban, at nagmalaking mainam.

I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; so that all the beasts could not stand before him, and no one was there to deliver out of his hand: and he did according to his will, and became great.

5 At habang aking ginugunita, narito, isang kambing na lalake ay nagmula sa kalunuran sa ibabaw ng buong lupa, at hindi sumayad sa lupa: at ang lalaking kambing ay may nakagitaw na sungay sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga mata.

And as I was looking attentively, behold, there came a shaggy, he-goat from the west over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a sightly large horn between his eyes.

6 At siya'y naparoon sa lalaking tupa na may dalawang sungay na aking nakitang nakatayo sa harap ng ilog, at tinakbo niya siya sa kabangisan ng kaniyang kapangyarihan.

And he came as far as the ram that had two horns, that I had seen standing before the river, and ran at him with his furious power.

7 At aking nakitang siya'y lumapit sa lalaking tupa, at siya'y nakilos ng pagkagalit laban sa kaniya, at sinaktan ang tupa, at binali ang kaniyang dalawang sungay: at ang lalaking tupa ay walang kapangyarihang makatayo sa harap niya; kundi kaniyang ibinuwal sa lupa, at kaniyang niyapakan siya; at walang makapagligtas sa lalaking tupa mula sa kaniyang kamay.

And I saw him coming close unto the ram, and he became bitterly enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand forward before him: and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and there was no one to deliver the ram out of his hand.

8 At ang lalaking kambing ay nagmalaking mainam: at nang siya'y lumakas, ang malaking sungay ay nabali; at kahalili niyao'y lumitaw ang apat na marangal na sungay, sa dako ng apat na hangin ng langit.

And the shaggy he-goat became very great: but when he was grown strong, the great horn was broken; and there came up four slightly large ones in its place toward the four winds of heaven.

9 At mula sa isa sa mga yaon ay lumitaw ang isang maliit na sungay na dumakilang totoo, sa dakong timugan, at sa dakong silanganan, at sa dakong maluwalhating lupain.

And out of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

10 At lumaking mainam, hanggang sa hukbo sa langit; at ang ilan sa hukbo at sa mga bituin ay iniwaksi sa lupa, at mga niyapakan yaon.

And it became great, even up to the host of the heavens; and it cast down to the ground some of the host and of the stars, and trod them under foot.

11 Oo, nagmalaki, hanggang sa prinsipe ng hukbo; at inalis niya sa kaniya ang palaging handog na susunugin, at ang dako ng kaniyang santuario ay ibinagsak.

Yea, it magnified itself even up to the prince of the host, and by it the continual sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

12 At ang hukbo ay nabigay sa kaniya na kasama ng palaging handog na susunugin dahil sa pagsalangsang; at kaniyang iniwaksi ang katotohanan sa lupa, at gumawa ng kaniyang maibigan at guminhawa.

And the host is given up together with the continual sacrifice, by reason of transgression: and it casteth down the truth to the ground, and it doth [this], and is prosperous.

13 Nang magkagayo'y narinig ko ang isang banal na nagsalita; at ibang banal ay nagsabi sa isang yaon na nagsalita, Hanggang kailan magtatagal ang pangitain tungkol sa palaging handog na susunugin, at ang pagsalangsang na sumisira, upang magbigay ng santuario at ng hukbo upang mayapakan ng paa?

Then did I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a holy one said unto the unknown one who was speaking, For how long is the vision concerning the continual sacrifice, and the wasting transgression, to give up both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

14 At sinabi niya sa akin, Hanggang sa dalawang libo at tatlong daan na hapon at umaga; kung magkagayo'y malilinis ang santuario.

And he said unto me, Until two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings, when the sanctuary shall be justified.

15 At nangyari, nang ako, sa makatuwid baga'y akong si Daniel, ay makakita ng pangitain, na aking pinagsikapang maunawaan; at, narito, nakatayo sa harap ko ang isang kawangis ng isang tao.

And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought for understanding, that, behold, there was standing opposite to me something like the appearance of a man.

16 At narinig ko ang tinig ng isang tao sa pagitan ng mga pangpang ng Ulai, na tumatawag at nagsasabi, Gabriel, ipaaninaw mo sa taong ito ang pangitain.

And I heard the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ulai, and it called, and said, Gabriel, cause this one to understand this appearance.

17 Sa gayo'y lumapit siya sa kinatatayuan ko; at nang siya'y lumapit, ako'y natakot at napasubasob: nguni't sinabi niya sa akin, Talastasin mo, Oh anak ng tao; sapagka't ang pangitain ay ukol sa panahon ng kawakasan.

So he came close to where I stood: and when he came, I was terrified, and I fell upon my face; but he said unto me, Mark it well, O son of man; because for the time of the end is the vision.

18 Samantalang siya nga'y nagsasalita sa akin, ako'y nagupiling sa isang mahimbing na pagkakatulog na padapa; nguni't hinipo niya ako, at itinayo ako.

Now as he was speaking with me, I fell down in amazement on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright where I had been standing.

19 At kaniyang sinabi, Narito, aking ipaaaninaw sa iyo kung ano ang mangyayari sa huling panahon ng pagkagalit; sapagka't ukol sa takdang panahon ng kawakasan.

And he said, Behold, I will make known unto thee what is to be at the last end of the indignation; for it is for the appointed time of the end.

20 Ang lalaking tupa na iyong nakita, na may dalawang sungay, ang mga yaon ang mga hari sa Media at Persia.

The ram that thou hast seen, him with the two horns, [signifieth] the kings of Media and Persia.

21 At ang may magaspang na balahibo na lalaking kambing ay siyang hari sa Grecia: at ang malaking sungay na nasa pagitan ng kaniyang mga mata ay siyang unang hari.

And the shaggy he-goat is the king of Javan; and the great horn which is between his eyes is the first king.

22 At tungkol sa nabali, sa dakong tinayuan ng apat, ay apat na kaharian ang magsisibangon mula sa bansa, nguni't hindi sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kapangyarihan.

But that it was broken, and that four sprung up in its stead, [signifieth that] four kingdoms will spring up out of the nation, but not with his power.

23 At sa huling panahon ng kanilang kaharian, pagka ang mananalangsang ay nagsidating sa kapuspusan, isang hari ay babangon na may mabagsik na pagmumukha, at nakaunawa ng malabong salita.

And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have filled their measure of guilt, there will arise a king of an impudent face, and understanding deep schemes.

24 At ang kaniyang kapangyarihan ay magiging dakila, nguni't hindi sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang sariling kapangyarihan; at siya'y lilipol na kamanghamangha, at giginhawa, at gagawa ng kaniyang maibigan; at kaniyang lilipulin ang mga makapangyarihan at ang banal na bayan.

And his power will be mighty, but not by his own power; and he will destroy wonderfully, and will prosper while he doth [this]; and he will destroy very many and the people of the saints.

25 At sa kaniyang paraan ay kaniyang palulusugin ang pagdaraya sa kaniyang kamay; at siya'y magmamalaki ng kaniyang loob, at sa kanilang ikatitiwasay ay papatay ng marami: siya'y tatayo rin laban sa prinsipe ng mga prinsipe; nguni't siya'y mabubuwal hindi ng kamay.

And through his intelligence, and because he prospereth, is craftiness in his hand; and in his heart will he magnify himself, and in peace will he destroy many: he will also stand up against the Prince of princes; but without a human hand will he be broken.

26 At ang pangitain sa mga hapon at mga umaga na nasaysay ay tunay: nguni't ilihim mo ang pangitain; sapagka't ukol sa maraming araw na darating.

And the appearance of the evening and the morning which was spoken of is true: but do thou keep the vision closed up;

27 At akong si Daniel ay nanglupaypay, at nagkasakit na ilang araw; nang magkagayon ako'y nagbangon, at ginawa ko ang mga gawain ng hari: at ako'y natigilan sa pangitain, nguni't walang nakakaunawa.

And I Daniel grieved, and was sick several days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was depressed because of the appearance; but no one observed it.
