다니엘 8

1나 다니엘에게 처음에 나타난 이상 후 벨사살 왕 삼년에 다시 이상이 나타나니라 2내가 이상을 보았는데 내가 그것을 볼 때에 내 몸은 엘람도 수산 성에 있었고 내가 이상을 보기는 을래 강변에서니라 3내가 눈을 들어본즉 강 가에 두 뿔 가진 수양이 섰는데 그 두 뿔이 다 길어도 한 뿔은 다른 뿔보다도 길었고 그 긴 것은 나중에 난 것이더라 4내가 본즉 그 수양이 서와 북과 남을 향하여 받으나 그것을 당할 짐승이 하나도 없고 그 손에서 능히 구할 이가 절대로 없으므로 그것이 임의로 행하고 스스로 강대하더라 5내가 생각할 때에 한 수염소가 서편에서부터 와서 온 지면에 두루 다니되 땅에 닿지 아니하며 그 염소 두 눈 사이에는 현저한 뿔이 있더라 6그것이 두 뿔 가진 수양 곧 내가 본 바 강가에 섰던 양에게로 나아가되 분노한 힘으로 그것에게로 달려가더니 7내가 본즉 그것이 수양에게로 가까이 나아가서는 더욱 성내어 그 수양을 땅에 엎드러뜨리고 짓밟았으나 능히 수양을 그 손에서 벗어나게 할 이가 없었더라 8수염소가 스스로 심히 강대하여 가더니 강성할 때에 그 큰 뿔이 꺾이고 그 대신에 현저한 뿔 넷이 하늘 사방을 향하여 났더라 9그 중 한 뿔에서 또 작은 뿔 하나가 나서 남편과 동편과 또 영화로운 땅을 향하여 심히 커지더니 10그것이 하늘 군대에 미칠만큼 커져서 그 군대와 별 중에 몇을 땅에 떨어뜨리고 그것을 짓밞고 11또 스스로 높아져서 군대의 주재를 대적하며 그에게 매일 드리는 제사를 제하여 버렸고 그의 성소를 헐었으며 12범죄함을 인하여 백성과 매일 드리는 제사가 그것에게 붙인 바 되었고 그것이 또 진리를 땅에 던지며 자의로 행하여 형통하였더라 13내가 들은즉 거룩한 자가 말하더니 다른 거룩한 자가 그 말하는 자에게 묻되 이상에 나타난 바 매일 드리는 제사와 망하게 하는 죄악에 대한 일과 성소와 백성이 내어준 바 되며 짓밟힐 일이 어느 때까지 이를꼬 하매 14그가 내게 이르되 이천삼백 주야까지니 그 때에 성소가 정결하게 함을 입으리라 하였느니라 15나 다니엘이 이 이상을 보고 그 뜻을 알고자 할 때에 사람 모양 같은 것이 내 앞에 섰고 16내가 들은즉 을래 강 두 언덕 사이에서 사람의 목소리가 있어 외쳐 이르되 가브리엘아 이 이상을 이 사람에게 깨닫게 하라 하더니 17그가 나의 선 곳으로 나아왔는데 그 나아올 때에 내가 두려워서 얼굴을 땅에 대고 엎드리매 그가 내게 이르되 인자야 깨달아 알라 이 이상은 정한 때 끝에 관한 것이니라 18그가 내게 말할 때에 내가 얼굴을 땅에 대고 엎드리어 깊이 잠들매 그가 나를 어루만져서 일으켜 세우며 19가로되 진노하시는 때가 마친 후에 될 일을 내가 네게 알게 하리니 이 이상은 정한 때 끝에 관한 일임이니라 20네가 본 바 두 뿔 가진 수양은 곧 메대와 바사 왕들이요 21털이 많은 수염소는 곧 헬라 왕이요 두 눈 사이에 있는 큰 뿔은 곧 그 첫째 왕이요 22이 뿔이 꺾이고 그 대신에 네 뿔이 났은즉 그 나라 가운데서 네 나라가 일어나되 그 권세만 못하리라 23이 네 나라 마지막 때에 패역자들이 가득할 즈음에 한 왕이 일어나리니 그 얼굴은 엄장하며 궤휼에 능하며 24그 권세가 강할 것이나 자기의 힘으로 말미암은 것이 아니며 그가 장차 비상하게 파괴를 행하고 자의로 행하여 형통하며 강한 자들과 거룩한 백성을 멸하리라 25그가 꾀를 베풀어 제 손으로 궤휼을 이루고 마음에 스스로 큰 체하며 또 평화한 때에 많은 무리를 멸하며 또 스스로 서서 만왕의 왕을 대적할 것이나 그가 사람의 손을 말미암지 않고 깨어지리라 26이미 말한 바 주야에 대한 이상이 확실하니 너는 그 이상을 간수하라 이는 여러 날 후의 일임이니라 27이에 나 다니엘이 혼절하여 수일을 앓다가 일어나서 왕의 일을 보았느니라 내가 그 이상을 인하여 놀랐고 그 뜻을 깨닫는 사람도 없었느니라

1In 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. 2I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai. 3Then 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. 4I 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 magnified himself. 5As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. 6He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power. 7I 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 cast him down to the ground, and trampled on him; and there was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand. 8The male goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky. 9Out of one of them came out a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land. 10It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and some of the army and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them. 11Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 12The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered. 13Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot? 14He said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. 15When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it; and behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. 16I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. 17So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man; for the vision belongs to the time of the end. 18Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright. 19He said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end. 20The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. 21The rough male goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power. 23In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. 24His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper in what he does; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people. 25Through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and he shall destroy many in their security. He shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. 26The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true: but seal up the vision; for it belongs to many days to come. 27I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king’s business: and I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.

1In het derde jaar des koninkrijks van den koning Belsazar, verscheen mij een gezicht, mij Daniel, na hetgeen mij in het eerste verschenen was. 2En ik zag een gezicht, (het geschiedde nu, toen ik het zag, dat ik in den burg Susan was, welke in het landschap Elam is) ik zag dan in een gezicht, dat ik aan den vloed Ulai was. 3En ik hief mijn ogen op, en ik zag, en ziet, een ram stond voor dien vloed, die had twee hoornen, en die twee hoornen waren hoog, en de een was hoger dan de andere, en de hoogste kwam in het laatste op. 4Ik zag, dat de ram met de hoornen tegen het westen stiet, en tegen het noorden, en tegen het zuiden, en geen dieren konden voor zijn aangezicht bestaan, en er was niemand, die uit zijn hand verloste; maar hij deed naar zijn welgevallen, en hij maakte zich groot. 5Toen ik dit overlegde, ziet, er kwam een geitenbok van het westen over den gansen aardbodem, en roerde de aarde niet aan; en die bok had een aanzienlijken hoorn tussen zijn ogen. 6En hij kwam tot den ram, die de twee hoornen had, dien ik had zien staan voor den vloed; en hij liep op hem aan in de grimmigheid zijner kracht. 7En ik zag hem, nakende aan den ram, en hij verbitterde zich tegen hem, en hij stiet den ram, en hij brak zijn beide hoornen; en in den ram was geen kracht, om voor zijn aangezicht te bestaan; en hij wierp hem ter aarde, en hij vertrad hem, en er was niemand, die den ram uit zijn hand verloste. 8En de geitenbok maakte zich uitermate groot; maar toen hij sterk geworden was, brak die grote hoorn, en er kwamen op aan deszelfs plaats vier aanzienlijke, naar de vier winden des hemels. 9En uit een van die kwam voort een kleine hoorn, welke uitnemend groot werd, tegen het zuiden, en tegen het oosten, en tegen het sierlijke land. 10En hij werd groot tot aan het heir des hemels; en hij wierp er sommigen van dat heir, namelijk van de sterren, ter aarde neder, en hij vertrad ze. 11Ja, hij maakte zich groot tot aan den Vorst diens heirs, en van Denzelven werd weggenomen het gedurig offer, en de woning Zijns heiligdoms werd nedergeworpen. 12En het heir werd in den afval overgegeven tegen het gedurig offer; en hij wierp de waarheid ter aarde; en deed het, en het gelukte wel. 13Daarna hoorde ik een heilige spreken; en de heilige zeide tot den onbenoemde, die daar sprak: Tot hoelang zal dat gezicht van het gedurig offer en van den verwoestenden afval zijn, dat zo het heiligdom als het heir ter vertreding zal overgegeven worden? 14En hij zeide tot mij: Tot twee duizend en driehonderd avonden en morgens; dan zal het heiligdom gerechtvaardigd worden. 15En het geschiedde, toen ik dat gezicht zag, ik Daniel, zo zocht ik het verstand deszelven, en ziet, er stond voor mij als de gedaante eens mans. 16En ik hoorde tussen Ulai eens mensen stem, die riep en zeide: Gabriel! geef dezen het gezicht te verstaan. 17En hij kwam nevens waar ik stond; en als hij kwam, verschrikte ik, en viel op mijn aangezicht. Toen zeide hij tot mij: Versta, gij mensenkind! want dit gezicht zal zijn tot den tijd van het einde. 18Als hij nu met mij sprak, viel ik in een diepen slaap op mijn aangezicht ter aarde; toen roerde hij mij aan, en hij stelde mij op mijn standplaats. 19En hij zeide: Zie, ik zal u te kennen geven, wat er geschieden zal ten einde dezer gramschap; want ter bestemder tijd zal het einde zijn. 20De ram met de twee hoornen, dien gij gezien hebt, zijn de koningen der Meden en der Perzen. 21Die harige bok nu, is de koning van Griekenland; en de grote hoorn, welke tussen zijn ogen is, is de eerste koning. 22Dat er nu vier aan zijn plaats stonden, toen hij verbroken was; vier koninkrijken zullen uit dat volk ontstaan, doch niet met zijn kracht. 23Doch op het laatste huns koninkrijks, als het de afvalligen op het hoogste gebracht zullen hebben, zo zal er een koning staan, stijf van aangezicht, en raadselen verstaande; 24En zijn kracht zal sterk worden, doch niet door zijn kracht; en hij zal het wonderlijk verderven, en zal geluk hebben, en zal het doen; en hij zal de sterken, mitsgaders het heilige volk verderven: 25En door zijn kloekheid zo zal hij de bedriegerij doen gedijen in zijn hand; en hij zal zich in zijn hart verheffen; en in stille rust zal hij er velen verderven, en zal staan tegen den Vorst der vorsten, doch hij zal zonder hand verbroken worden. 26Het gezicht nu van avond en morgen, dat er gezegd is, is de waarheid; en gij, sluit dit gezicht toe, want er zijn nog vele dagen toe. 27Toen werd ik, Daniel, zwak, en was enige dagen krank; daarna stond ik op, en deed des konings werk; en ik was ontzet over dit gezicht; maar niemand merkte het.
