Daniel 8

فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ بَيْلْشَاصَّرَ الْمَلِكِ، ظَهَرَتْ لِي أَنَا دَانِيآلَ رُؤْيَا بَعْدَ الَّتِي ظَهَرَتْ لِي فِي الابْتِدَاءِ.

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

فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الرُّؤْيَا، وَكَانَ فِي رُؤْيَايَ وَأَنا فِي شُوشَانَ الْقَصْرِ الَّذِي فِي وِلاَيَةِ عِيلاَمَ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِي الرُؤيَا وَأَنَا عِنْدَ نَهْرِ أُولاَيَ.

And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.

فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَرَأَيْتُ وَإِذَا بِكَبْشٍ وَاقِفٍ عِنْدَ النَّهْرِ وَلَهُ قَرْنَانِ وَالقَرْنَانِ عَالِيَانِ، وَالْوَاحِدُ أَعْلَى مِنَ الآخَرِ، وَالأَعْلَى طَالِعٌ أَخِيرًا.

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

رَأَيْتُ الْكَبْشَ يَنْطَحُ غَرْبًا وَشِمَالاً وَجَنُوبًا فَلَمْ يَقِفْ حَيَوَانٌ قُدَّامَهُ وَلاَ مُنْقِذٌ مِنْ يَدِهِ، وَفَعَلَ كَمَرْضَاتِهِ وَعَظُمَ.

I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.

وَبَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ مُتَأَمِّلاً إِذَا بِتَيْسٍ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ جَاءَ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَمَسَّ الأَرْضَ، وَلِلتَّيْسِ قَرْنٌ مُعْتَبَرٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

وَجَاءَ إِلَى الْكَبْشِ صَاحِبِ الْقَرْنَيْنِ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ وَاقِفًا عِنْدَ النَّهْرِ وَرَكَضَ إِلَيْهِ بِشِدَّةِ قُوَّتِهِ.

And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.

وَرَأَيْتُهُ قَدْ وَصَلَ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْكَبْشِ، فَاسْتَشَاطَ عَلَيْهِ وَضَرَبَ الْكَبْشَ وَكَسَرَ قَرْنَيْهِ، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ لِلْكَبْشِ قُوَّةٌ عَلَى الْوُقُوفِ أَمَامَهُ، وَطَرَحَهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَدَاسَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِلْكَبْشِ مُنْقِذٌ مِنْ يَدِهِ.

And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

فتَعَظَّمَ تَيْسُ المَعْزِ جِدًّا. وَلَمَّا اعْتَزَّ انْكَسَرَ الْقَرْنُ الْعَظِيمُ، وَطَلَعَ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ أَرْبَعَةُ قُرُونٍ مُعْتَبَرَةٍ نَحْوَ رِيَاحِ السَّمَاءِ الأَرْبَعِ.

Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

وَمِنْ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا خَرَجَ قَرْنٌ صَغِيرٌ، وَعَظُمَ جِدًّا نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ وَنَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ وَنَحْوَ فَخْرِ الأَرَاضِي.

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

وَتَعَظَّمَ حَتَّى إِلَى جُنْدِ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَطَرَحَ بَعْضًا مِنَ الْجُنْدِ وَالنُّجُومِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَدَاسَهُمْ.

And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

وَحَتَّى إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْجُنْدِ تَعَظَّمَ، وَبِهِ أُبْطِلَتِ الْمُحْرَقَةُ الدَّائِمَةُ، وَهُدِمَ مَسْكَنُ مَقْدِسِهِ.

Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

وَجُعِلَ جُنْدٌ عَلَى الْمُحْرَقَةِ الدَّائِمَةِ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ، فَطَرَحَ الْحَقَّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَفَعَلَ وَنَجَحَ.

And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

فَسَمِعْتُ قُدُّوسًا وَاحِدًا يَتَكَلَّمُ. فَقَالَ قُدُّوسٌ وَاحِدٌ لِفُلاَنٍ الْمُتَكَلِّمِ: «إِلَى مَتَى الرُّؤْيَا مِنْ جِهَةِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ الدَّائِمَةِ وَمَعْصِيَةِ الْخَرَابِ، لِبَذْلِ الْقُدْسِ وَالْجُنْدِ مَدُوسَيْنِ؟»

Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

فَقَالَ لِي: «إِلَى أَلْفَيْنِ وَثَلاَثِ مِئَةِ صَبَاحٍ وَمَسَاءٍ، فَيَتَبَرَّأُ الْقُدْسُ».

And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

وَكَانَ لَمَّا رَأَيْتُ أَنَا دَانِيآلَ الرُّؤْيَا وَطَلَبْتُ الْمَعْنَى، إِذَا بِشِبْهِ إِنْسَانٍ وَاقِفٍ قُبَالَتِي.

And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ إِنْسَانٍ بَيْنَ أُولاَيَ، فَنَادَى وَقَالَ: «يَا جِبْرَائِيلُ، فَهِّمْ هذَا الرَّجُلَ الرُّؤْيَا».

And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

فَجَاءَ إِلَى حَيْثُ وَقَفْتُ، وَلَمَّا جَاءَ خِفْتُ وَخَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي. فَقَالَ لِي: «افْهَمْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ. إِنَّ الرُّؤْيَا لِوَقْتِ الْمُنْتَهَى».

So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

وَإِذْ كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي كُنْتُ مُسَبَّخًا عَلَى وَجْهِي إِلَى الأَرْضِ، فَلَمَسَنِي وَأَوْقَفَنِي عَلَى مَقَامِي.

Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.

وَقَالَ: «هأَنَذَا أُعَرِّفُكَ مَا يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ السُّخَطِ. لأَنَّ لِمِيعَادِ الانْتِهَاءَ.

And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

أَمَّا الْكَبْشُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَهُ ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ فَهُوَ مُلُوكُ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ.

The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

وَالتَّيْسُ الْعَافِي مَلِكُ الْيُونَانِ، وَالْقَرْنُ الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ هُوَ الْمَلِكُ الأَوَّلُ.

And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

وَإِذِ انْكَسَرَ وَقَامَ أَرْبَعَةٌ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ، فَسَتَقُومُ أَرْبَعُ مَمَالِكَ مِنَ الأُمَّةِ، وَلكِنْ لَيْسَ فِي قُوَّتِهِ.

Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

وَفِي آخِرِ مَمْلَكَتِهِمْ عِنْدَ تَمَامِ الْمَعَاصِي يَقُومُ مَلِكٌ جَافِي الْوَجْهِ وَفَاهِمُ الْحِيَلِ.

And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

وَتَعْظُمُ قُوَّتُهُ، وَلكِنْ لَيْسَ بِقُوَّتِهِ. يُهْلِكُ عَجَبًا وَيَنْجَحُ وَيَفْعَلُ وَيُبِيدُ الْعُظَمَاءَ وَشَعْبَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ.

And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

وَبِحَذَاقَتِهِ يَنْجَحُ أَيْضًا الْمَكْرُ فِي يَدِهِ، وَيَتَعَظَّمُ بِقَلْبِهِ. وَفِي الاطْمِئْنَانِ يُهْلِكُ كَثِيرِينَ، وَيَقُومُ عَلَى رَئِيسِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ، وَبِلاَ يَدٍ يَنْكَسِرُ.

And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

فَرُؤْيَا الْمَسَاءِ وَالصَّبَاحِ الَّتِي قِيلَتْ هِيَ حَقٌّ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَاكْتُمِ الرُّؤْيَا لأَنَّهَا إِلَى أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ».

And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

وَأَنَا دَانِيآلَ ضَعُفْتُ وَنَحَلْتُ أَيَّامًا، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ وَبَاشَرْتُ أَعْمَالَ الْمَلِكِ، وَكُنْتُ مُتَحَيِّرًا مِنَ الرُّؤْيَا وَلاَ فَاهِمَ.

And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
