< Daniel 8 >

1 Iti maikatlo a tawen a panagturay ni Ari Belsazar, Siak a ni Daniel, ket adda nagparang kaniak a sirmata (kalpasan iti immuna a sirmata a nagparang kaniak).
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 Bayat ti panangkitkitak, nakitak iti sirmata, nga addaak iti nasarikedkedan a siudad ti Susa idiay probinsia ti Elam. Nakitak iti sirmata nga addaak iti abay ti Karayan Ulai.
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.
3 Timmangadak ket nakitak iti sangoanak ti maysa a kalakian a karnero nga addaan kadagiti dua a sara, nga agtaktakder iti abay ti karayan. At-atiddog ti maysa a sara ngem ti sabali a sara, ngem nabunbuntog nga agtubo ti at-atiddog a sara ngem ti ab-ababa ket linumbaanna a dimmakkel daytoy.
Then 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; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 Nakitak nga agwangwang-it ti kalakian a karnero nga agturong iti laud, kalpasanna iti amianan, ken kalpasanna iti abagatan; awan ti sabali nga ayup a makaparmek kenkuana. Awan kadakuada ti makabael a mangispal iti siasinoman manipud iti pannakabalinna. Inaramidna ti aniaman a kayatna, ket nagbalin isuna a nabileg.
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.
5 Kabayatan a panpanunotek daytoy, nakakitaak iti maysa a bulog a kalding nga um-umay manipud iti laud, iti ngatoen ti entero a daga, kasta unay ti pardas ti tarayna, kasla saan nga agdisso dagiti sakana iti daga. Addaan iti dakkel a sara ti kalding iti nagbaetan dagiti matana.
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.
6 Nagturong isuna iti ayan ti kalakian a karnero nga addaan kadagiti dua a sara—nakitak ti karnero nga agtaktakder iti igid ti karayan—ket nakarungrungsot a nagtaray ti kalding nga agturong iti ayan ti karnero.
And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran to him in the fury of his power.
7 Nakitak nga umas-asideg ti kalding iti karnero. Makapungtot unay isuna iti karnero, ket sinangdona ti karnero ket natukkol dagiti dua a sara daytoy. Awan ti kabaelan ti karnero a makiranget kenkuana. Tinumba isuna iti kalding iti daga ket impayatpayatna daytoy. Awan ti siasinoman a makaispal iti karnero manipud iti pannakabalinna.
And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke 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 on him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Ket dimmakkel unay ti kalding. Ngem idi pimmigsa isuna, natukkol ti dakkel a sarana, ket iti nakaikkatan ti sarana, nagtubo dagiti uppat a dadakkel a sara a nakaturong kadagiti uppat nga angin dagiti langit.
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.
9 Adda nagtubo a sabali a sara manipud iti maysa kadagitoy, bassit idi un-unana, ngem dimmakkel unay iti abagatan, iti daya, ken idiay nadayag a daga ti Israel.
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.
10 Dimmakkel unay daytoy a kasla makigubat payen iti armada ti langit. Sumagmamano iti dayta nga armada ken sumagmamano kadagiti bituen ket naitappuak iti daga, ket impayatpayatna dagitoy.
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 on them.
11 Bimmileg unay daytoy, kabilbileg pay iti armada ti nadiosan a mangidadaulo. Ti kadawyan a daton a mapuoran ket innalada kenkuana, ken natulawan ti santuariona.
Yes, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.
12 Gapu iti panagrebelde, maitedto ti armada iti sara ti kalding, ket maisardengto ti daton a mapuoran. Itinnagto ti sara ti kinapudno iti daga, ket agballiginto daytoy iti aniaman nga ar-aramidenna.
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 practiced, and prospered.
13 Kalpasanna, nangngegko ti maysa a nasantoan nga agsasao ket sungsungbatan isuna ti sabali a nasantoan. “Kasano kapaut dagitoy a banbanag, daytoy a sirmata maipapan iti daton a mapuoran, ti basol a mangyeg iti pannakadadael, ti pannakaiyawat ti santuario, ken ti panakaipayatpayat ti armada ti langit?”
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said to that certain saint which spoke, 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?
14 Kinunana kaniak, “Agpaut daytoy iti 2, 300 a rabii ken agsapa. Kalpasan dayta sumayaatto ti santuario.”
And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
15 Idi nakitak ti sirmata, siak a ni Daniel ket pinadasko nga awaten daytoy. Ket adda nagtakder iti sangoanak nga aglanglanga a kasla maysa a tao.
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.
16 Nakangngegak iti timek ti tao nga agpukpukkaw iti nagbaetan dagiti teppang ti Karayan Ulai. Kinunana, “Gabriel, tulongam a maawatan daytoy a tao ti sirmata.”
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 Isu nga immasideg isuna iti pagtaktakderak. Idi dimteng isuna, nagbutengak ket nagpaklebak iti daga. Kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, awatem a ti sirmata ket para iti tiempo ti panungpalan.”
So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell on my face: but he said to me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
18 Idi makisasao isuna kaniak, nakaturogak ti narnekan a sipapakleb iti daga. Ket sinagidnak ken pinatakdernak.
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.
19 Kinunana, “Kitaem, ipakitak kenka ti mapasamakto iti maud-udi a tiempo ti pungtot, gapu ta maseknan ti sirmata iti naikeddeng a tiempo iti panungpalan.
And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
20 Ket maipapan iti nakitam a kalakian a karnero, ti addaan kadagiti dua a sara— isuda dagiti ari ti Medes ken Persia.
The ram which you saw having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Ti bulog a kalding ket ti ari ti Grecia. Ti dakkel a sara iti nagbaetan dagiti matana ket ti umuna nga ari.
And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Ket maipapan iti sara a natukkol, iti disso a nagtuboan ti sabali nga uppat— tumaudto dagiti uppat a pagarian manipud iti nasionna, ngem saan a kabilbileg ti pannakabalinna.
Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23 Iti maud-udi a tiempo dagitoy a pagarian, inton agpatingga ti kinadakesda, tumaudto ti maysa a nakabutbuteng ti rupana nga ari a nalaing unay.
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.
24 Nabilegto ti pannakabalinna— ngem saan a babaen iti bukodna a pannakabalin. Nalawanto ti dadaelenna, ket agballiginto isuna iti aniaman nga aramidenna. Dadaelennanto dagiti nabileg a tattao, tattao a nasantoan.
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 Babaen iti kinasikapna rumang-ayto iti panangallilaw iti imana. Tumakderto pay isuna a bumusor iti Ari dagiti ari, ken maparmekto isuna— ngem saan a babaen iti pannakabalin ti tao.
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.
26 Ti sirmata a naibaga maipapan kadagiti rabii ken kadagiti agsapa ket pudno. Ngem selioam ti sirmata, ta dakdakamatenna daytoy dagiti adu nga aldaw iti masakbayan.”
And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: why shut you up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
27 Ket siak a ni Daniel, kimmapsut ken nagsakitak iti sumagmamano nga aldaw. Kalpasanna, bimmangonak ket intuloyko ti pakaseknan ti ari. Ngem maikulkulengak gapu iti sirmata, ket awan ti siasinoman a makaawat iti daytoy.
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.
