Daniel 8

WEB·Daniel 8
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.
KJVIn the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of kingH4428 BelshazzarH1112 a visionH2377 appearedH7200(H8738) unto me, even unto me DanielH1840, afterH310 that which appearedH7200(H8738) unto me at the firstH8462.
2 I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
KJVAnd I sawH7200(H8799) in a visionH2377; and it came to pass, when I sawH7200(H8800), that I was at ShushanH7800 in the palaceH1002, which is in the provinceH4082 of ElamH5867; and I sawH7200(H8799) in a visionH2377, and I was by the riverH180 of UlaiH195.
3 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
KJVThen I lifted upH5375(H8799) mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200(H8799), and, behold, there stoodH5975(H8802) beforeH6440 the riverH180 aH259 ramH352 which had two hornsH7161: and the two hornsH7161 were highH1364; but oneH259 was higherH1364 than the otherH8145, and the higherH1364 came upH5927(H8802) lastH314.
4 I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
KJVI sawH7200(H8804) the ramH352 pushingH5055(H8764) westwardH3220, and northwardH6828, and southwardH5045; so that no beastsH2416 might standH5975(H8799) beforeH6440 him, neither was there any that could deliverH5337(H8688) out of his handH3027; but he didH6213(H8804) according to his willH7522, and became greatH1431(H8689).
5 As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
KJVAnd as I was consideringH995(H8688), behold, an heH5795 goatH6842 cameH935(H8802) from the westH4628 on the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776, and touchedH5060(H8802) not the groundH776: and the goatH6842 had a notableH2380 hornH7161 between his eyesH5869.
6 He 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.
KJVAnd he cameH935(H8799) to the ramH352 that hadH1167 two hornsH7161, which I had seenH7200(H8804) standingH5975(H8802) beforeH6440 the riverH180, and ranH7323(H8799) unto him in the furyH2534 of his powerH3581.
7 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. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
KJVAnd I sawH7200(H8804) him comeH5060(H8688) close untoH681 the ramH352, and he was moved with cholerH4843(H8698) against him, and smoteH5221(H8686) the ramH352, and brakeH7665(H8762) his twoH8147 hornsH7161: and there was no powerH3581 in the ramH352 to standH5975(H8800) beforeH6440 him, but he cast him downH7993(H8686) to the groundH776, and stampedH7429(H8799) upon him: and there was none that could deliverH5337(H8688) the ramH352 out of his handH3027.
8 The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. 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.
KJVTherefore the heH6842 goatH5795 waxed veryH3966 greatH1431(H8689): and when he was strongH6105(H8800), the greatH1419 hornH7161 was brokenH7665(H8738); and for it came upH5927(H8799) fourH702 notable onesH2380 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064.
9 Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
KJVAnd out of oneH259 of them came forthH3318(H8804) a littleH4704 hornH7161, which waxed exceedingH3499 greatH1431(H8799), toward the southH5045, and toward the eastH4217, and toward the pleasantH6643 land.
10 It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.
KJVAnd it waxed greatH1431(H8799), even to the hostH6635 of heavenH8064; and it cast downH5307(H8686) some of the hostH6635 and of the starsH3556 to the groundH776, and stampedH7429(H8799) upon them.
11 Yes, 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.
KJVYea, he magnifiedH1431(H8689) himself even to the princeH8269 of the hostH6635, and by him the dailyH8548 sacrifice was taken awayH7311(H8717)(H8675)H7311(H8689), and the placeH4349 of his sanctuaryH4720 was cast downH7993(H8717).
12 The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
KJVAnd an hostH6635 was givenH5414(H8735) him against the dailyH8548 sacrifice by reason of transgressionH6588, and it cast downH7993(H8686) the truthH571 to the groundH776; and it practisedH6213(H8804), and prosperedH6743(H8689).
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will 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 be?”
KJVThen I heardH8085(H8799) oneH259 saintH6918 speakingH1696(H8764), and anotherH259 saintH6918 saidH559(H8799) unto that certainH6422 saint which spakeH1696(H8764), How long shall be the visionH2377 concerning the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and the transgressionH6588 of desolationH8074(H8802), to giveH5414(H8800) both the sanctuaryH6944 and the hostH6635 to be trodden under footH4823?
14 He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
KJVAnd he saidH559(H8799) unto me, Unto two thousandH505 and threeH7969 hundredH3967 daysH6153H1242; then shall the sanctuaryH6944 be cleansedH6663(H8738).
15 When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.
KJVAnd it came to pass, when I, even I DanielH1840, had seenH7200(H8800) the visionH2377, and soughtH1245(H8762) for the meaningH998, then, behold, there stoodH5975(H8802) before me as the appearanceH4758 of a manH1397.
16 I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
KJVAnd I heardH8085(H8799) a man'sH120 voiceH6963 between the banks of UlaiH195, which calledH7121(H8799), and saidH559(H8799), GabrielH1403, make thisH1975 man to understandH995(H8685) the visionH4758.
17 So 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.”
KJVSo he cameH935(H8799) nearH681 where I stoodH5977: and when he cameH935(H8800), I was afraidH1204(H8738), and fellH5307(H8799) upon my faceH6440: but he saidH559(H8799) unto me, UnderstandH995(H8685), O sonH1121 of manH120: for at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall be the visionH2377.
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.
KJVNow as he was speakingH1696(H8763) with me, I was in a deep sleepH7290(H8738) on my faceH6440 toward the groundH776: but he touchedH5060(H8799) me, and setH5975(H8686) me uprightH5977.
19 He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
KJVAnd he saidH559(H8799), Behold, I will make thee knowH3045(H8688) what shall be in the last endH319 of the indignationH2195: for at the time appointedH4150 the endH7093 shall be.
20 The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
KJVThe ramH352 which thou sawestH7200(H8804) havingH1167 two hornsH7161 are the kingsH4428 of MediaH4074 and PersiaH6539.
21 The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
KJVAnd the roughH8163 goatH6842 is the kingH4428 of GreciaH3120: and the greatH1419 hornH7161 that is between his eyesH5869 is the firstH7223 kingH4428.
22 As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
KJVNow that being brokenH7665(H8737), whereas fourH702 stood upH5975(H8799) for it, fourH702 kingdomsH4438 shall stand upH5975(H8799) out of the nationH1471, but not in his powerH3581.
23 “In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.
KJVAnd in the latter timeH319 of their kingdomH4438, when the transgressorsH6586(H8802) are come to the fullH8552(H8687), a kingH4428 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440, and understandingH995(H8688) dark sentencesH2420, shall stand upH5975(H8799).
24 His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
KJVAnd his powerH3581 shall be mightyH6105(H8804), but not by his own powerH3581: and he shall destroyH7843(H8686) wonderfullyH6381(H8737), and shall prosperH6743(H8689), and practiseH6213(H8804), and shall destroyH7843(H8689) the mightyH6099 and the holyH6918 peopleH5971.
25 Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.
KJVAnd through his policyH7922 also he shall cause craftH4820 to prosperH6743(H8689) in his handH3027; and he shall magnifyH1431(H8686) himself in his heartH3824, and by peaceH7962 shall destroyH7843(H8686) manyH7227: he shall also stand upH5975(H8799) against the PrinceH8269 of princesH8269; but he shall be brokenH7665(H8735) withoutH657 handH3027.
26 “The 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.”
KJVAnd the visionH4758 of the eveningH6153 and the morningH1242 which was toldH559(H8738) is trueH571: wherefore shut thou upH5640(H8798) the visionH2377; for it shall be for manyH7227 daysH3117.
27 I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
KJVAnd I DanielH1840 faintedH1961(H8738), and was sickH2470(H8738) certain daysH3117; afterward I rose upH6965(H8799), and didH6213(H8799) the king'sH4428 businessH4399; and I was astonishedH8074(H8709) at the visionH4758, but none understoodH995(H8688) it.
