א
בִּשְׁנַת שָׁלוֹשׁ, לְמַלְכוּת בֵּלְאשַׁצַּר הַמֶּלֶךְ--חָזוֹן נִרְאָה אֵלַי, אֲנִי דָנִיֵּאל, אַחֲרֵי הַנִּרְאָה אֵלַי, בַּתְּחִלָּה.
|
1
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
|
|
ב
וָאֶרְאֶה, בֶּחָזוֹן, וַיְהִי בִּרְאֹתִי, וַאֲנִי בְּשׁוּשַׁן הַבִּירָה אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵילָם הַמְּדִינָה; וָאֶרְאֶה, בֶּחָזוֹן, וַאֲנִי הָיִיתִי, עַל-אוּבַל אוּלָי.
|
2
And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the castle, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the stream Ulai.
|
|
ג
וָאֶשָּׂא עֵינַי, וָאֶרְאֶה, וְהִנֵּה אַיִל אֶחָד עֹמֵד לִפְנֵי הָאֻבָל, וְלוֹ קְרָנָיִם; וְהַקְּרָנַיִם גְּבֹהוֹת, וְהָאַחַת גְּבֹהָה מִן-הַשֵּׁנִית, וְהַגְּבֹהָה, עֹלָה בָּאַחֲרֹנָה.
|
3
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the stream 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.
|
|
ד
רָאִיתִי אֶת-הָאַיִל מְנַגֵּחַ יָמָּה וְצָפוֹנָה וָנֶגְבָּה, וְכָל-חַיּוֹת לֹא-יַעַמְדוּ לְפָנָיו, וְאֵין מַצִּיל, מִיָּדוֹ; וְעָשָׂה כִרְצֹנוֹ, וְהִגְדִּיל.
|
4
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
|
|
ה
וַאֲנִי הָיִיתִי מֵבִין, וְהִנֵּה צְפִיר-הָעִזִּים בָּא מִן-הַמַּעֲרָב עַל-פְּנֵי כָל-הָאָרֶץ, וְאֵין נוֹגֵעַ, בָּאָרֶץ; וְהַצָּפִיר--קֶרֶן חָזוּת, בֵּין עֵינָיו.
|
5
And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
|
|
ו
וַיָּבֹא, עַד-הָאַיִל בַּעַל הַקְּרָנַיִם, אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי, עֹמֵד לִפְנֵי הָאֻבָל; וַיָּרָץ אֵלָיו, בַּחֲמַת כֹּחוֹ.
|
6
And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the stream, and ran at him in the fury of his power.
|
|
ז
וּרְאִיתִיו מַגִּיעַ אֵצֶל הָאַיִל, וַיִּתְמַרְמַר אֵלָיו וַיַּךְ אֶת-הָאַיִל וַיְשַׁבֵּר אֶת-שְׁתֵּי קְרָנָיו, וְלֹא-הָיָה כֹחַ בָּאַיִל, לַעֲמֹד לְפָנָיו; וַיַּשְׁלִיכֵהוּ אַרְצָה וַיִּרְמְסֵהוּ, וְלֹא-הָיָה מַצִּיל לָאַיִל מִיָּדוֹ.
|
7
And I saw him come close unto 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 trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
|
|
ח
וּצְפִיר הָעִזִּים, הִגְדִּיל עַד-מְאֹד; וּכְעָצְמוֹ, נִשְׁבְּרָה הַקֶּרֶן הַגְּדֹלָה, וַתַּעֲלֶנָה חָזוּת אַרְבַּע תַּחְתֶּיהָ, לְאַרְבַּע רוּחוֹת הַשָּׁמָיִם.
|
8
And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up the appearance of four horns toward the four winds of heaven.
|
|
ט
וּמִן-הָאַחַת מֵהֶם, יָצָא קֶרֶן-אַחַת מִצְּעִירָה; וַתִּגְדַּל-יֶתֶר אֶל-הַנֶּגֶב וְאֶל-הַמִּזְרָח, וְאֶל-הַצֶּבִי.
|
9
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 beauteous land.
|
|
י
וַתִּגְדַּל, עַד-צְבָא הַשָּׁמָיִם; וַתַּפֵּל אַרְצָה מִן-הַצָּבָא וּמִן-הַכּוֹכָבִים, וַתִּרְמְסֵם.
|
10
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.
|
|
יא
וְעַד שַׂר-הַצָּבָא, הִגְדִּיל; וּמִמֶּנּוּ הרים (הוּרַם) הַתָּמִיד, וְהֻשְׁלַךְ מְכוֹן מִקְדָּשׁוֹ.
|
11
Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
|
|
יב
וְצָבָא תִּנָּתֵן עַל-הַתָּמִיד, בְּפָשַׁע; וְתַשְׁלֵךְ אֱמֶת אַרְצָה, וְעָשְׂתָה וְהִצְלִיחָה.
|
12
And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it wrought, and prospered.
|
|
יג
וָאֶשְׁמְעָה אֶחָד-קָדוֹשׁ, מְדַבֵּר; וַיֹּאמֶר אֶחָד קָדוֹשׁ לַפַּלְמוֹנִי הַמְדַבֵּר, עַד-מָתַי הֶחָזוֹן הַתָּמִיד וְהַפֶּשַׁע שֹׁמֵם--תֵּת וְקֹדֶשׁ וְצָבָא, מִרְמָס.
|
13
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spoke: 'How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that causes appalment, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?'
|
|
יד
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי--עַד עֶרֶב בֹּקֶר, אַלְפַּיִם וּשְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת; וְנִצְדַּק, קֹדֶשׁ.
|
14
And he said unto me: 'Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be victorious.'
|
|
טו
וַיְהִי, בִּרְאֹתִי אֲנִי דָנִיֵּאל--אֶת-הֶחָזוֹן; וָאֲבַקְשָׁה בִינָה, וְהִנֵּה עֹמֵד לְנֶגְדִּי כְּמַרְאֵה-גָבֶר.
|
15
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
|
|
טז
וָאֶשְׁמַע קוֹל-אָדָם, בֵּין אוּלָי; וַיִּקְרָא, וַיֹּאמַר, גַּבְרִיאֵל, הָבֵן לְהַלָּז אֶת-הַמַּרְאֶה.
|
16
And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, who called, and said: 'Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.'
|
|
יז
וַיָּבֹא, אֵצֶל עָמְדִי, וּבְבֹאוֹ נִבְעַתִּי, וָאֶפְּלָה עַל-פָּנָי; וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי הָבֵן בֶּן-אָדָם, כִּי לְעֶת-קֵץ הֶחָזוֹן.
|
17
So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face; but he said unto me: 'Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.'
|
|
יח
וּבְדַבְּרוֹ עִמִּי, נִרְדַּמְתִּי עַל-פָּנַי אָרְצָה; וַיִּגַּע-בִּי--וַיַּעֲמִידֵנִי, עַל-עָמְדִי.
|
18
Now 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.
|
|
יט
וַיֹּאמֶר הִנְנִי מוֹדִיעֲךָ, אֵת אֲשֶׁר-יִהְיֶה בְּאַחֲרִית הַזָּעַם: כִּי, לְמוֹעֵד קֵץ.
|
19
And he said: 'Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end.
|
|
כ
הָאַיִל אֲשֶׁר-רָאִיתָ, בַּעַל הַקְּרָנָיִם--מַלְכֵי, מָדַי וּפָרָס.
|
20
The ram which thou sawest having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
|
|
כא
וְהַצָּפִיר הַשָּׂעִיר, מֶלֶךְ יָוָן; וְהַקֶּרֶן הַגְּדוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר בֵּין-עֵינָיו, הוּא הַמֶּלֶךְ הָרִאשׁוֹן.
|
21
And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
|
|
כב
וְהַנִּשְׁבֶּרֶת--וַתַּעֲמֹדְנָה אַרְבַּע, תַּחְתֶּיהָ: אַרְבַּע מַלְכֻיוֹת מִגּוֹי יַעֲמֹדְנָה, וְלֹא בְכֹחוֹ.
|
22
And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
|
|
כג
וּבְאַחֲרִית, מַלְכוּתָם, כְּהָתֵם, הַפֹּשְׁעִים--יַעֲמֹד מֶלֶךְ עַז-פָּנִים, וּמֵבִין חִידוֹת.
|
23
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems.
|
|
כד
וְעָצַם כֹּחוֹ וְלֹא בְכֹחוֹ, וְנִפְלָאוֹת יַשְׁחִית וְהִצְלִיחַ וְעָשָׂה; וְהִשְׁחִית עֲצוּמִים, וְעַם-קְדֹשִׁים.
|
24
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do; and he shall destroy them that are mighty and the people of the saints.
|
|
כה
וְעַל-שִׂכְלוֹ, וְהִצְלִיחַ מִרְמָה בְּיָדוֹ, וּבִלְבָבוֹ יַגְדִּיל, וּבְשַׁלְוָה יַשְׁחִית רַבִּים; וְעַל שַׂר-שָׂרִים יַעֲמֹד, וּבְאֶפֶס יָד יִשָּׁבֵר.
|
25
And through his cunning he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in time of security shall he destroy many; he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
|
|
כו
וּמַרְאֵה הָעֶרֶב וְהַבֹּקֶר אֲשֶׁר נֶאֱמַר, אֱמֶת הוּא; וְאַתָּה סְתֹם הֶחָזוֹן, כִּי לְיָמִים רַבִּים.
|
26
And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true; but thou, shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days to come.'
|
|
כז
וַאֲנִי דָנִיֵּאל, נִהְיֵיתִי וְנֶחֱלֵיתִי יָמִים, וָאָקוּם, וָאֶעֱשֶׂה אֶת-מְלֶאכֶת הַמֶּלֶךְ; וָאֶשְׁתּוֹמֵם עַל-הַמַּרְאֶה, וְאֵין מֵבִין. {פ}
|
27
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was appalled at the vision, but understood it not.
{P}
