< 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, Daniel, after that which appeared to me previously.
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 the vision, and when I looked, I was in the citadel of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river 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 look, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one 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; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who 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.
As I was considering, look, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a prominent 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.
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and rushed at 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.
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he threw him down to the ground and trampled on him, and there was no one who could deliver the ram from his power.
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.
The male goat became very strong. But when he was strong, the large horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four prominent horns 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.
Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful 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.
It grew so great that it reached to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled 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.
And it magnified itself, even against the Prince of the host; and it took away from him the daily sacrifice, and the place of his sanctuary was thrown 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.
The host was given over to it together with the daily sacrifice because of transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and kept prospering.
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 a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled?"
14 Kinunana kaniak, “Agpaut daytoy iti 2, 300 a rabii ken agsapa. Kalpasan dayta sumayaatto ti santuario.”
He said to me, "To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be restored to its rightful state."
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.
It came about when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it. And look, there stood before me someone who appeared to be 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.”
I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and called out and said, "Gabriel, make this man 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 frightened, and fell prostrate. But he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision belongs to the time of the end."
18 Idi makisasao isuna kaniak, nakaturogak ti narnekan a sipapakleb iti daga. Ket sinagidnak ken pinatakdernak.
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and stood 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.
He said, "Look, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of wrath, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
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, that had the two horns, they 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.
The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large 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.
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall arise out of his nation, but not with 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.
In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressions have reached their full measure, a rash and deceitful king shall arise.
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.
His power shall be great, but not by his own strength; and he shall cause terrible destruction, and shall succeed in whatever he does. And he 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.
Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper by his influence, and he shall be great in his own mind, and without warning he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be shattered, but not by human hands.
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.”
The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision because it refers to many days from now."
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.
I, Daniel, was overcome, and was ill for days. Then I rose up, and carried out the king's business. And I was astonished by the vision, but there was no one to explain it.
