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 Baltasar 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,
And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Ælam, and I was on the [bank of] Ubal.
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.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a ram standing in front of the Ubal; and he had high horns; and one was higher than the other, and the high one 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.
And I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was none that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great.
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:
And I was considering, and, behold, a he-goat came from the south-west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the earth: and the goat [had] a horn between his eyes.
6 и прииде до овна имущаго рога егоже видех стояща пред увалом, и тече к нему в силе крепости своея.
And he came to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing in front of the Ubal, and he ran at him with the violence of his strength.
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.
And I saw him coming up close to the ram, and he was furiously enraged against him, and he smote the ram, and broke both his horns: and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him on the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none that 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:
And the he-goat grew exceedingly great: and when he was strong, his great horn was broken; and four other [horns] rose up in its place toward the four winds of heaven.
9 и от единаго их взыде рог един крепок, и возвеличися вельми к югу и к востоку и к силе,
And out of one of them came forth one strong horn, and it grew very great toward the south, and toward the host:
10 и возвеличися даже до силы небесныя: и сотвори пасти на землю от силы небесныя и от звезд, и попра я:
and it magnified itself to the host of heaven; and there fell to the earth [some] of the host of heaven and of the stars, and they trampled on them.
11 и дондеже Архистратиг избавит пленники, и Его ради жертва смятеся, и благопоспешися Ему, и святое опустеет:
And [this shall be] until the chief captain shall have delivered the captivity: and by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed, and he prospered; and the holy place shall be made desolate.
12 и дадеся на жертву грех, и повержеся правда на землю: и сотвори, и благопоспешися.
And a sin-offering was given for the sacrifice, and righteousness was cast down to the ground; and it practised, 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?
And I heard one saint speaking, and a saint said to a certain one speaking, How long shall the vision continue, [even] the removal of the sacrifice, and the bringing in of the sin of desolation; and [how long] shall the sanctuary and host be trampled?
14 И рече ему: даже до вечера и утра дний две тысящы и триста, и очистится святое.
And he said to him, Evening and morning [there shall be] two thousand and four hundred days; and [then] the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
15 И бысть, егда видех аз Даниил видение и взысках ведения, и се, ста предо мною аки образ мужеск,
And it came to pass, as I, [even] I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought to understand it, that, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 и слышах глас мужеск среде Увала, и призва и рече: Гаврииле, скажи видение оному.
And I heard the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ubal; and he called, and said, Gabriel, cause that man to 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.
And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he came, I was struck with awe, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man: for yet the vision is for an appointed time.
18 И егда глаголаше со мною, падох ниц на земли, и прикоснуся мне, и постави мя на ноги моя, и рече:
And while he spoke with me, I fell upon my face to the earth: and he touched me, and set me on my feet.
19 се, аз возвещаю тебе будущая на последок гнева (сыном людий твоих): еще бо до конца времене видение.
And he said, Behold, I make thee know the things that shall come to pass at the end of the wrath: for the vision [is] yet for an appointed time.
20 Овен, егоже видел еси имуща рога, царь Мидский и Персский:
The ram which thou sawest that had the horns is the king of the Medes and Persians.
21 а козел козий царь Еллинский есть: рог же великий, иже между очима его, той есть царь первый:
The he-goat is the king of the Greeks: and the great horn which was between his eyes, he is the first king.
22 сему же сокрушившуся восташа четыри рози под ним: четыри царие востанут от языка его, но не в крепости его,
And [as for] the one that was broken, in whose place there stood up four horns, four kings shall arise out of his nation, but not in their [own] strength.
23 и на последок царства их, исполняющымся грехом их, востанет царь безсрамен лицем и разумея гадания,
And at the latter time of their kingdom, when their sins are coming to the full, there shall arise a king bold in countenance, and understanding riddles.
24 и державна крепость его, не в крепости же своей, и чудесно растлит и управит и сотворит, и разсыплет крепкия и люди святы,
And his power [shall be] great, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and prosper, and practise, and shall destroy mighty men, 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.
And the yoke of his chain shall prosper: [there is] craft in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by craft shall destroy many, and he shall stand up for the destruction of many, and shall crush them as eggs in his hand.
26 И видение вечера и утра реченнаго истинно есть: ты же назнаменай видение, яко на дни многи.
And the vision of the evening and morning that was mentioned is true: and do thou seal the vision; for [it is] for many days.
27 Аз же Даниил успох и изнемогах на дни (многи), и востах и творях дела царева, и почудихся видению, и не бяше разумевающаго.
And I Daniel fell asleep, and was sick: then I arose, and did the king’s business; and I wondered at the vision, and there was none that understood [it].
