< 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 to me, to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to 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 a vision, and when I saw, I was in Shushan, in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and 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 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 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 pushing westward and northward and southward, and no beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand; but 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 I gave heed, and behold, a he-goat came from the west, over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous 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 to the ram which had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran against him in the fury of his 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 come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him, and smote the ram, and broke in pieces his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and none could 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 he-goat became exceedingly great; but when he became strong the great horn was broken, and instead of it grew up four conspicuous ones 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 one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful 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 exalted itself even to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and stamped upon them.
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, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and the daily sacrifice did he take away from him, 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 a host was placed over the daily sacrifice with impiety, and it cast down truth to the ground, and it accomplished its purpose and prospered.
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?
And I heard a holy one speak; and another holy one said to the one that had spoken, To how long a time extendeth the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the impiety of the destroyer, to give 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 to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
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, that when I Daniel saw the vision, I sought for the meaning; and behold, there stood one before me having 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 a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
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.
And he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face, and he said to me, Understand, O son of man! for this vision relateth to the time of the end.
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.
But when he spake to me, I sank senseless upon my face to the ground; but he touched me, and lifted me up where I had stood.
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 make known to thee what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for [[the vision relateth]] to the 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 which thou sawest, having two horns, denoteth 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 rough goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn 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.
And as that was broken, and four arose in its place, four kingdoms shall arise 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 toward the end of their reign, when the transgressors have filled up the measure of their iniquities, a king shall arise of a fierce countenance, and cunning in artifices.
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 shall become mighty, but not by his own strength; and wonderfully will he destroy, and prosper, and accomplish his purposes, and he will destroy many, even the people of the holy ones.
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 cunning will he cause fraud to prosper in his hand, and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in the midst of security, and against the Prince of princes will he stand up; but he shall be broken without hand.
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 vision of the evening and the morning, which was told thee, is true; but do thou seal up the vision, for it relates to many days.
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 fainted, and was sick some days; then I rose up and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but no one explained it.
