Daniel 8:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that had appeared to me previously.
2 In this vision I saw myself in Susa the citadel, which is located in the province of Elam. In the vision I saw myself at the Ulai Canal.
3 I looked up and saw a ram with two horns standing at the canal. Its two horns were both long, but one was longer than the other. The longer one was coming up after the shorter one.
4 I saw that the ram was butting westward, northward, and southward. No animal was able to stand before it, and there was none who could deliver from its power. It did as it pleased and acted arrogantly.
5 While I was contemplating all this, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of all the land without touching the ground. This goat had a conspicuous horn between its eyes.
6 It came to the two-horned ram that I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed against it with raging strength.
7 I saw it approaching the ram. It went into a fit of rage against the ram and struck it and broke off its two horns. The ram had no ability to resist it. The goat hurled the ram to the ground and trampled it. No one could deliver the ram from its power.
8 The male goat acted even more arrogantly. But no sooner had the large horn become strong than it was broken, and there arose four conspicuous horns in its place, extending toward the four winds of the sky.
9 From one of them came a small horn. But it grew to be very big, toward the south and the east and toward the beautiful land.
10 It grew so big it reached the army of heaven, and it brought about the fall of some of the army and some of the stars to the ground, where it trampled them.
11 It also acted arrogantly against the Prince of the army, from whom the daily sacrifice was removed and whose sanctuary was thrown down.
12 The army was given over, along with the daily sacrifice, in the course of his sinful rebellion. It hurled truth to the ground and enjoyed success.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking. Another holy one said to the one who was speaking, "To what period of time does the vision pertain� this vision concerning the daily sacrifice and the destructive act of rebellion and the giving over of both the sanctuary and army to be trampled?"
14 He said to me, "To 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be put right again."
15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision, I sought to understand it. Now one who appeared to be a man was standing before me.
16 Then I heard a human voice coming from between the banks of the Ulai. It called out, "Gabriel, enable this person to understand the vision."
17 So he approached the place where I was standing. As he came, I felt terrified and fell flat on the ground. Then he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision pertains to the time of the end."
18 As he spoke with me, I fell into a trance with my face to the ground. But he touched me and stood me upright.
19 Then he said, "I am going to inform you about what will happen in the latter time of wrath, for the vision pertains to the appointed time of the end.
20 The ram that you saw with the two horns stands for the kings of Media and Persia.
21 The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is the first king.
22 The horn that was broken and in whose place there arose four others stands for four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, though they will not have his strength.
23 Toward the end of their rule, when rebellious acts are complete, a rash and deceitful king will arise.
24 His power will be great, but it will not be by his strength alone. He will cause terrible destruction. He will be successful in what he undertakes. He will destroy powerful people and the people of the holy ones.
25 By his treachery he will succeed through deceit. He will have an arrogant attitude, and he will destroy many who are unaware of his schemes. He will rise up against the Prince of princes, yet he will be broken apart� but not by human agency.
26 The vision of the evenings and mornings that was told to you is correct. But you should seal up the vision, for it refers to a time many days from now."
27 I, Daniel, was exhausted and sick for days. Then I got up and again carried out the king's business. But I was astonished at the vision, and there was no one to explain it.
1 In the third H7969 year H8141 of the reign H4438 of king H4428 Belshazzar H1112 a vision H2377 appeared H7200 unto H413 me, even unto me H589 Daniel, H1840 after that H310 which appeared H7200 unto H413 me at the first. H8462
2 And I saw H7200 in a vision; H2377 and it came to pass, H1961 when I saw, H7200 that I H589 was at Shushan H7800 in the palace, H1002 which H834 is in the province H4082 of Elam; H5867 and I saw H7200 in a vision, H2377 and I H589 was H1961 by H5921 the river H180 of Ulai. H195
3 Then I lifted up H5375 mine eyes, H5869 and saw, H7200 and, behold, H2009 there stood H5975 before H6440 the river H180 a H259 ram H352 which had two horns: H7161 and the two horns H7161 were high; H1364 but one H259 was higher H1364 than H4480 the other, H8145 and the higher H1364 came up H5927 last. H314
4 I saw H7200 H853 the ram H352 pushing H5055 westward, H3220 and northward, H6828 and southward; H5045 so that no H3808 H3605 beasts H2416 might stand H5975 before H6440 him, neither H369 was there any that could deliver H5337 out of his hand H4480 H3027 ; but he did H6213 according to his will, H7522 and became great. H1431
5 And as I H589 was H1961 considering, H995 behold, H2009 a he goat H6842 H5795 came H935 from H4480 the west H4628 on H5921 the face H6440 of the whole H3605 earth, H776 and touched H5060 not H369 the ground: H776 and the goat H6842 had a notable H2380 horn H7161 between H996 his eyes. H5869
6 And he came H935 to H5704 the ram H352 that had H1167 two horns, H7161 which H834 I had seen H7200 standing H5975 before H6440 the river, H180 and ran H7323 unto H413 him in the fury H2534 of his power. H3581
7 And I saw H7200 him come close H5060 unto H681 the ram, H352 and he was moved with anger H4843 against H413 him , and smote H5221 H853 the ram, H352 and broke H7665 H853 his two H8147 horns: H7161 and there was H1961 no H3808 power H3581 in the ram H352 to stand H5975 before H6440 him , but he cast him down H7993 to the ground, H776 and stamped upon H7429 him : and there was H1961 none H3808 that could deliver H5337 the ram H352 out of his hand H4480 H3027 .
8 Therefore the he goat H6842 H5795 waxed very great H1431 H5704: H3966 and when he was strong, H6105 the great H1419 horn H7161 was broken; H7665 and for H8478 it came up H5927 four H702 notable ones H2380 toward the four H702 winds H7307 of heaven. H8064
9 And out of H4480 one H259 of H4480 them came forth H3318 a H259 little H4480 H4704 horn, H7161 which waxed exceeding great H1431 H3499 , toward H413 the south, H5045 and toward H413 the east, H4217 and toward H413 the pleasant H6643 land .
10 And it waxed great, H1431 even to H5704 the host H6635 of heaven; H8064 and it cast down H5307 some of H4480 the host H6635 and of H4480 the stars H3556 to the ground, H776 and stamped upon H7429 them.
11 Yea , he magnified H1431 himself even to H5704 the prince H8269 of the host, H6635 and by H4480 him the daily H8548 sacrifice was taken away, H7311 and the place H4349 of his sanctuary H4720 was cast down. H7993
12 And a host H6635 was given H5414 him against H5921 the daily H8548 sacrifice by reason of transgression, H6588 and it cast down H7993 the truth H571 to the ground; H776 and it practiced, H6213 and prospered. H6743
13 Then I heard H8085 one H259 saint H6918 speaking, H1696 and another H259 saint H6918 said H559 unto that certain H6422 saint which spoke, H1696 How long H5704 H4970 shall be the vision H2377 concerning the daily H8548 sacrifice , and the transgression H6588 of desolation, H8074 to give H5414 both the sanctuary H6944 and the host H6635 to be trodden under foot H4823 ?
14 And he said H559 unto H413 me, Unto H5704 two thousand H505 and three H7969 hundred H3967 days H6153 H1242 ; then shall the sanctuary H6944 be cleansed. H6663
15 And it came to pass, H1961 when I, even I H589 Daniel, H1840 had seen H7200 H853 the vision, H2377 and sought H1245 for the meaning, H998 then, behold, H2009 there stood H5975 before H5048 me as the appearance H4758 of a man. H1397
16 And I heard H8085 a man's H120 voice H6963 between H996 the banks of Ulai, H195 which called, H7121 and said, H559 Gabriel, H1403 make this H1975 man to understand H995 H853 the vision. H4758
17 So he came H935 near H681 where I stood: H5977 and when he came, H935 I was afraid, H1204 and fell H5307 upon H5921 my face: H6440 but he said H559 unto H413 me, Understand, H995 O son H1121 of man: H120 for H3588 at the time H6256 of the end H7093 shall be the vision. H4758
18 Now as he was speaking H1696 with H5973 me , I was in a deep sleep H7290 on H5921 my face H6440 toward the ground: H776 but he touched H5060 me , and set H5975 me upright H5921 H5977 .
19 And he said, H559 Behold, H2009 I will make thee know H3045 H853 what H834 shall be H1961 in the last end H319 of the indignation: H2195 for H3588 at the time appointed H4150 the end H7093 shall be .
20 The ram H352 which H834 thou sawest H7200 having H1167 two horns H7161 are the kings H4428 of Media H4074 and Persia. H6539
21 And the rough H8163 goat H6842 is the king H4428 of Greece: H3120 and the great H1419 horn H7161 that H834 is between H996 his eyes H5869 is the first H7223 king. H4428
22 Now that being broken, H7665 whereas four H702 stood up H5975 for H8478 it, four H702 kingdoms H4438 shall stand up H5975 out of the nation H4480 H1471 , but not H3808 in his power. H3581
23 And in the latter time H319 of their kingdom, H4438 when the transgressors H6586 are come to the full, H8552 a king H4428 of fierce H5794 countenance, H6440 and understanding H995 dark sentences, H2420 shall stand up. H5975
24 And his power H3581 shall be mighty, H6105 but not H3808 by his own power: H3581 and he shall destroy H7843 wonderfully, H6381 and shall prosper, H6743 and practice, H6213 and shall destroy H7843 the mighty H6099 and the holy H6918 people. H5971
25 And through H5921 his policy H7922 also he shall cause craft H4820 to prosper H6743 in his hand; H3027 and he shall magnify H1431 himself in his heart, H3824 and by peace H7962 shall destroy H7843 many: H7227 he shall also stand up H5975 against H5921 the Prince H8269 of princes; H8269 but he shall be broken H7665 without H657 hand. H3027
26 And the vision H4758 of the evening H6153 and the morning H1242 which H834 was told H559 is true: H571 wherefore shut thou up H859 H5640 the vision; H2377 for H3588 it shall be for many H7227 days. H3117
27 And I H589 Daniel H1840 fainted, H1961 and was sick H2470 certain days; H3117 afterward I rose up, H6965 and did H6213 H853 the king's H4428 business; H4399 and I was astonished H8074 at H5921 the vision, H4758 but none H369 understood H995 it .
