Daniel 8
1 Sa ikatlong taon ng paghahari ni Haring Belsazar, may pangitaing lumitaw sa akin, akong si Daniel (pagkatapos ng naunang ipinakita niya sa akin).
In the third year of the rule of Belshazzar the king, a vision was seen by me, Daniel, after the one I saw at first.
2 Nakita ko sa pangitain habang tumitingin ako, na ako ay nasa matatag na lungsod ng Susa sa lalawigan ng Elam. Nakita ko sa pangitain na nasa tabi ako ng Ilog Ulai.
And I saw in the vision; and when I saw it, I was in the strong town Shushan, which is in the country of Elam; and in the vision I was by the water-door of the Ulai.
3 Tumingin ako sa itaas at nakita ko sa aking harapan ang isang lalaking tupa na may dalawang sungay na nakatayo sa tabi ng ilog. Mas mahaba ang isang sungay kaysa sa isa. Ngunit mas mabagal ang paglaki ng mas mahaba kaysa sa mas maiksi at nalampasan nito ang haba.
And lifting up my eyes, I saw, there before the stream, a male sheep with two horns: and the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, the higher one coming up last.
4 Nakita kong sumasalakay ang lalaking tupa sa kanluran, sa hilaga at sa timog; walang ibang hayop ang kayang tumayo sa kaniyang harapan. Wala sa mga ito ang may kakayahang iligtas ang sinuman mula sa kaniyang kamay. Ginagawa niya ang anumang naisin niya at naging dakila siya.
I saw the sheep pushing to the west and to the north and to the south; and no beasts were able to keep their place before him, and no one was able to get people out of his power; but he did whatever his pleasure was and made himself great.
5 Habang iniisip ko ang tungkol dito, nakakita ako ng isang lalaking kambing na nagmula sa kanluran, sa ibabaw ng buong mundo, tumatakbo nang mabilis na parang hindi sumasayad sa lupa. Ang kambing ay may isang malaking sungay sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga mata.
And while I was giving thought to this, I saw a he-goat coming from the west over the face of all the earth without touching the earth: and the he-goat had a great horn between his eyes.
6 Lumapit siya sa lalaking tupa na may dalawang sungay—nakita ko ang lalaking tupa na nakatayo sa pampang ng ilog—at galit na galit na tumakbo ang kambing patungo sa lalaking tupa.
And he came to the two-horned sheep which I saw before the stream, rushing at him in the heat of his power.
7 Nakita ko na lumapit ang kambing sa lalaking tupa. Galit na galit siya sa lalaking tupa, sinugod niya ang lalaking tupa at binali ang dalawang sungay nito. Walang kapangyarihan ang lalaking tupa upang tumayo sa harapan niya. Ibinuwal siya ng kambing sa lupa at tinapakan siya. Walang sinuman ang makapagliligtas sa lalaking tupa mula sa kaniyang kapangyarihan.
And I saw him come right up to the sheep, and he was moved with wrath against him, attacking the sheep so that his two horns were broken; and the sheep had not strength to keep his place before him, but was pushed down on the earth and crushed under his feet: and there was no one to get the sheep out of his power.
8 At naging napakalaki ng kambing. Ngunit nang maging malakas siya, nabali ang malaking sungay at tumubo sa lugar nito ang apat na iba pang mga sungay na nakaturo sa apat na hangin ng kalangitan.
And the he-goat became very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and in its place came up four other horns turned to the four winds of heaven.
9 Tumubo ang isa pang sungay mula sa isa sa mga ito, maliit sa una, ngunit naging napakalaki sa timog, sa silangan at sa maluwalhating lupain ng Israel.
And out of one of them came another horn, a little one, which became very great, stretching to the south and to the east and to the beautiful land.
10 Naging napakalaki nito upang makipagdigma sa hukbo ng langit. Ang ilan sa mga hukbo at ilan sa mga bituin ay itinapon sa lupa at tinapakan sila.
And it became great, even as high as the army of heaven, pulling down some of the army, even of the stars, to the earth and crushing them under its feet.
11 Naging dakila ito, kasindakila ng banal na pinuno ng hukbo. Kinuha mula sa kaniya ang karaniwang alay na susunugin at naging marumi ang lugar ng kaniyang santuwaryo.
It made itself great, even as great as the lord of the army; and by it the regular burned offering was taken away, and the place overturned and the holy place made waste.
12 Dahil sa paghihimagsik, ibibigay ang hukbo sa sungay ng kambing at ititigil ang alay na susunugin. Ihahagis ng sungay ang katotohanan sa lupa at magtatagumpay ito sa kaniyang ginagawa.
... against the regular burned offering; and ... crushed down to the earth, and it did its pleasure and things went well for it.
13 At narinig ko na nagsasalita ang isang banal at sinasagot siya ng isa pang banal, “Gaano katagal mananatili ang mga bagay na ito, ang pangitaing ito tungkol sa alay na susunugin, ang kasalanan na nagdadala ng kapahamakan, ang pagpapasakamay ng santuwaryo at ang pagtapak sa hukbo ng langit?”
Then there came to my ears the voice of a holy one talking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was talking, How long will the vision be while the regular burned offering is taken away, and the unclean thing causing fear is put up, and the holy place crushed under foot?
14 Sinabi niya sa akin, “Magtatagal ito sa loob ng 2, 300 na araw at gabi. Pagkatapos nito, magiging maayos ang santuwaryo.”
And he said to him, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be made clean.
15 Nang akong si Daniel ay nakita ang pangitain, sinubukan kong unawain ito. At may tumayo sa harapan ko na katulad ng isang lalaki.
And it came about that when I, Daniel, had seen this vision, I had a desire for the sense of it to be unfolded; and I saw one before me in the form of a man.
16 Narinig ko ang tinig ng isang lalaking tumatawag sa pagitan ng mga pampang ng Ilog Ulai. Sinabi niya, “Gabriel, tulungan mo ang lalaking ito na maunawaan ang pangitain.”
And the voice of a man came to my ears between the sides of the Ulai, crying out and saying, Gabriel, make the vision clear to this man.
17 Kaya lumapit siya sa kinatatayuan ko. Nang lumapit siya, natakot ako at nagpatirapa sa lupa. Sinabi niya sa akin, “Unawain mo, anak ng tao, na ang pangitain ay para sa panahon ng pagwawakas.”
So he came and took his place near where I was; and when he came, I was full of fear and went down on my face: but he said to me, Let it be clear to you, O son of man; for the vision has to do with the time of the end.
18 Nang kausapin niya ako, nakatulog ako nang mahimbing na nasa lupa ang aking mukha. Pagkatapos, hinawakan niya ako at pinatayo.
Now while he was talking to me, I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth: but touching me, he put me on my feet where I had been.
19 Sinabi niya, “Tingnan mo, ipapakita ko sa iyo kung ano ang susunod na mangyayari sa panahon ng matinding galit dahil may kinalaman ang pangitain sa mangyayari sa panahon na nakatakda para sa wakas.
And he said, See, I will make clear to you what is to come in the later time of the wrath: for it has to do with the fixed time of the end.
20 Ang lalaking tupa na iyong nakita, ang isa na may dalawang sungay—sila ang mga hari ng Media at Persia.
The sheep which you saw with two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Ang lalaking kambing ang hari ng Grecia. Ang malaking sungay sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga mata ay ang unang hari.
And the he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn between his eyes is the first king.
22 Ang naputol na sungay sa lugar kung saan lumitaw ang apat na iba pa—lilitaw mula sa kaniyang bansa ang apat na kaharian, ngunit hindi kasinlakas ng kaniyang dakilang kapangyarihan.
And as for that which was broken, in place of which four came up, four kingdoms will come up from his nation, but not with his power.
23 Sa huling panahon ng mga kahariang iyon, kapag umabot na sa sukdulan ang mga lumalabag sa batas, lilitaw ang isang haring may mabagsik na mukha na napakatalino.
And in the later years of their kingdom, when their evil doings have become complete, there will come up a king full of pride and expert in dark sayings.
24 Magiging dakila ang kaniyang kapangyarihan—ngunit hindi sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang sariling kapangyarihan. Magdudulot siya nang malawakang pagkawasak at magtatagumpay siya sa anumang gagawin niya. Lilipulin niya ang mga makapangyarihang tao, ang mga taong banal.
And his power will be great, and he will be purposing strange things. And all will go well for him and he will do his pleasure; and he will send destruction on the strong ones.
25 Sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang katusuhan, pasasaganain niya ang panlilinlang sa ilalim ng kaniyang kamay. Lilitaw din siya laban sa Hari ng mga hari at mawawasak siya—ngunit hindi sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ng tao.
And his designs will be turned against the holy people, causing deceit to do well in his hand; in his heart he will make himself great, and send destruction on numbers who are living unconscious of their danger; and he will put himself up against the prince of princes; but he will be broken, though not by men's hands.
26 Totoo ang pangitain na sinabi tungkol sa mga gabi at mga umaga. Ngunit selyohan mo ang pangitain, sapagkat tumutukoy ito sa maraming araw sa hinaharap.”
And the vision of evenings and mornings which has been talked of is true: and keep the vision secret; for it has to do with the far-off future.
27 At akong si Daniel ay napagod at nanghina sa loob ng ilang araw. Pagkatapos, bumangon ako at pumunta sa gawain ng hari. Ngunit kinilabutan ako dahil sa pangitain at walang sinumang nakaunawa nito.
And I, Daniel, was ill for some days; then I got up and did the king's business: and I was full of wonder at the vision, but no one was able to give the sense of it.
