Daniel 8
1 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.
No anno terceiro do reinado do rei Belshazzar appareceu-me uma visão, a mim, Daniel, depois d'aquella que me appareceu no principio.
2 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.
E vi n'uma visão (e aconteceu, quando vi, que eu estava na cidadella de Susan, que está na provincia de Elam), vi pois, n'uma visão, que eu estava junto ao rio Ulai.
3 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.
E levantei os meus olhos, e vi, e eis que um carneiro estava diante do rio, o qual tinha duas pontas; e as duas pontas eram altas, porém uma era mais alta do que a outra; e a que era mais alta subiu por ultimo.
4 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.
Vi que o carneiro dava marradas para o occidente, e para o norte e para o meio-dia; e nenhuns animaes podiam parar diante d'elle, nem havia quem livrasse da sua mão; e fazia conforme a sua vontade, e se engrandecia.
5 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.
E, estando eu considerando, eis que um bode vinha do occidente sobre toda a terra, e não tocava a terra; e aquelle bode tinha uma ponta insigne entre os olhos;
6 And he came to the two-horned sheep which I saw before the stream, rushing at him in the heat of his power.
E vinha ao carneiro que tinha as duas pontas, ao qual eu tinha visto em pé diante do rio; e correu contra elle com todo o impeto da sua força.
7 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.
E o vi chegar perto do carneiro, e se irritou contra elle, e feriu o carneiro, e lhe quebrou as duas pontas, pois não havia força no carneiro para parar diante d'elle, e o lançou por terra, e o pizou a pés; nem houve quem livrasse o carneiro da sua mão
8 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.
E o bode se engrandeceu em grande maneira; mas, estando na sua maior força, aquella grande ponta foi quebrada: e subiram no seu logar outras quatro insignes, para os quatro ventos do céu.
9 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.
E de uma d'ellas saiu uma ponta mui pequena, a qual cresceu muito para o meio-dia, e para o oriente, e para a terra formosa.
10 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.
E se engrandeceu até ao exercito do céu: e a alguns do exercito, e das estrellas, deitou por terra, e as pizou.
11 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.
E se engrandeceu até ao principe do exercito: e por elle foi tirado o continuo sacrificio, e o logar do seu sanctuario foi lançado por terra.
12 ... against the regular burned offering; and ... crushed down to the earth, and it did its pleasure and things went well for it.
E o exercito foi entregue por causa das transgressões contra o continuo sacrificio; e lançou a verdade por terra, e o fez, e prosperou.
13 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?
Depois ouvi um sancto que fallava; e disse o sancto áquelle que fallava: Até quando durará a visão do continuo sacrificio, e da transgressão assoladora, para que seja entregue o sanctuario, e o exercito, para ser pizado?
14 And he said to him, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be made clean.
E elle me disse: Até duas mil e trezentas tardes e manhãs; e o sanctuario será justificado.
15 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.
E aconteceu que, havendo eu, Daniel, visto a visão, busquei o entendimento, e eis que se me apresentou diante um com o parecer de homem.
16 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.
E ouvi uma voz de homem entre as margens do Ulai, a qual gritou, e disse: Gabriel, dá a entender a este a visão.
17 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.
E veiu perto d'onde eu estava; e, vindo elle, me assombrei, e cahi sobre o meu rosto; porém elle me disse: Entende, filho do homem, porque acontecerá esta visão no fim do tempo.
18 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.
E, estando elle fallando comigo, cahi adormecido sobre o meu rosto por terra: elle, pois, me tocou, e me fez estar em pé.
19 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.
E disse: Eis que te farei saber o que ha de acontecer no ultimo tempo da ira; porque no tempo determinado será o fim.
20 The sheep which you saw with two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Aquelle carneiro que viste com duas pontas são os reis da Media e da Persia,
21 And the he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn between his eyes is the first king.
Porém o bode pelludo é o rei da Grecia; e a ponta grande que tinha entre os olhos é o rei primeiro;
22 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.
E que, sendo quebrada ella, se levantassem quatro em logar d'ella, significa que quatro reinos se levantarão da mesma nação, mas não com a força d'ella.
23 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.
Mas, no fim do seu reinado, quando os prevaricadores acabarem de prevaricar, se levantará um rei, feroz de cara, e será entendido em adivinhações.
24 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.
E se fortalecerá a sua força, mas não pela força d'elle mesmo; e destruirá maravilhosamente, e prosperará, e o seu prazer fará: e destruirá os fortes e o povo sancto.
25 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.
E pelo seu entendimento tambem fará prosperar o engano na sua mão; e no seu coração se engrandecerá, e pela tranquillidade destruirá muitos; e se levantará contra o principe dos principes, mas sem mão será quebrado
26 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.
E a visão da tarde e da manhã, que foi dita, é verdade: tu, porém, cerra a visão, porque é para muitos dias.
27 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.
E eu, Daniel, enfraqueci, e estive enfermo alguns dias; então levantei-me e fiz o negocio do rei: e espantei-me ácerca da visão, e não havia quem a entendesse.
