Daniel 8
|
| In the third year of the rule of Belshazzar the king, a vision was seen by me, Daniel, after the one I saw at first. | No ano terceiro do reinado do rei Belsazar apareceu-me uma visão, a mim, Daniel, depois daquela que me apareceu no princípio. |
| And I saw in the vision; and when I saw it, I was in the strong town Shushan, which is in the country of Elam; and in the vision I was by the water-door of the Ulai. | E na visão que tive, parecia-me que eu estava na cidadela de Susã, na província de Elão; e conforme a visão, eu estava junto ao rio Ulai. |
| And lifting up my eyes, I saw, there before the stream, a male sheep with two horns: and the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, the higher one coming up last. | Levantei os olhos, e olhei, e eis que estava em pé diante do rio um carneiro, que tinha dois chifres; e os dois chifres eram altos; mas um era mais alto do que o outro, e o mais alto subiu por último. |
| I saw the sheep pushing to the west and to the north and to the south; and no beasts were able to keep their place before him, and no one was able to get people out of his power; but he did whatever his pleasure was and made himself great. | Vi que o carneiro dava marradas para o ocidente, e para o norte e para o sul; e nenhum dos animais lhe podia resistir, nem havia quem pudesse livrar-se do seu poder; ele, porém, fazia conforme a sua vontade, e se engrandecia. |
| And while I was giving thought to this, I saw a he-goat coming from the west over the face of all the earth without touching the earth: and the he-goat had a great horn between his eyes. | E, estando eu considerando, eis que um bode vinha do ocidente sobre a face de toda a terra, mas sem tocar no chão; e aquele bode tinha um chifre notável entre os olhos. |
| And he came to the two-horned sheep which I saw before the stream, rushing at him in the heat of his power. | E dirigiu-se ao carneiro que tinha os dois chifres, ao qual eu tinha visto em pé diante do rio, e correu contra ele no furor da sua força. |
| And I saw him come right up to the sheep, and he was moved with wrath against him, attacking the sheep so that his two horns were broken; and the sheep had not strength to keep his place before him, but was pushed down on the earth and crushed under his feet: and there was no one to get the sheep out of his power. | Vi-o chegar perto do carneiro; e, movido de cólera contra ele, o feriu, e lhe quebrou os dois chifres; não havia força no carneiro para lhe resistir, e o bode o lançou por terra, e o pisou aos pés; também não havia quem pudesse livrar o carneiro do seu poder. |
| And the he-goat became very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and in its place came up four other horns turned to the four winds of heaven. | O bode, pois, se engrandeceu sobremaneira; e estando ele forte, aquele grande chifre foi quebrado, e no seu lugar outros quatro também notáveis nasceram para os quatro ventos do céu. |
| And out of one of them came another horn, a little one, which became very great, stretching to the south and to the east and to the beautiful land. | Ainda de um deles saiu um chifre pequeno, o qual cresceu muito para o sul, e para o oriente, e para a terra formosa; |
| And it became great, even as high as the army of heaven, pulling down some of the army, even of the stars, to the earth and crushing them under its feet. | e se engrandeceu até o exército do céu; e lançou por terra algumas das estrelas desse exército, e as pisou. |
| It made itself great, even as great as the lord of the army; and by it the regular burned offering was taken away, and the place overturned and the holy place made waste. | Sim, ele se engrandeceu até o príncipe do exército; e lhe tirou o holocausto contínuo, e o lugar do seu santuário foi deitado abaixo. |
| ... against the regular burned offering; and ... crushed down to the earth, and it did its pleasure and things went well for it. | E o exército lhe foi entregue, juntamente com o holocausto contínuo, por causa da transgressão; lançou a verdade por terra; e fez o que era do seu agrado, e prosperou. |
| Then there came to my ears the voice of a holy one talking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was talking, How long will the vision be while the regular burned offering is taken away, and the unclean thing causing fear is put up, and the holy place crushed under foot? | Depois ouvi um santo que falava; e disse outro santo àquele que falava: Até quando durará a visão relativamente ao holocausto contínuo e à transgressão assoladora, e à entrega do santuário e do exército, para serem pisados? |
| And he said to him, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be made clean. | Ele me respondeu: Até duas mil e trezentas tardes e manhãs; então o santuário será purificado. |
| And it came about that when I, Daniel, had seen this vision, I had a desire for the sense of it to be unfolded; and I saw one before me in the form of a man. | Havendo eu, Daniel, tido a visão, procurei entendê-la, e eis que se me apresentou como que uma semelhança de homem. |
| And the voice of a man came to my ears between the sides of the Ulai, crying out and saying, Gabriel, make the vision clear to this man. | E ouvi uma voz de homem entre as margens do Ulai, a qual gritou, e disse: Gabriel, faze que este homem entenda a visão. |
| So he came and took his place near where I was; and when he came, I was full of fear and went down on my face: but he said to me, Let it be clear to you, O son of man; for the vision has to do with the time of the end. | Veio, pois, perto de onde eu estava; e vindo ele, fiquei amedrontado, e caí com o rosto em terra. Mas ele me disse: Entende, filho do homem, pois esta visão se refere ao tempo do fim. |
| Now while he was talking to me, I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth: but touching me, he put me on my feet where I had been. | Ora, enquanto ele falava comigo, caí num profundo sono, com o rosto em terra; ele, porém, me tocou, e me pôs em pé. |
| And he said, See, I will make clear to you what is to come in the later time of the wrath: for it has to do with the fixed time of the end. | e disse: Eis que te farei saber o que há de acontecer no último tempo da ira; pois isso pertence ao determinado tempo do fim. |
| The sheep which you saw with two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. | Aquele carneiro que viste, o qual tinha dois chifres, são estes os reis da Média e da Pérsia. |
| And the he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn between his eyes is the first king. | Mas o bode peludo é o rei da Grécia; e o grande chifre que tinha entre os olhos é o primeiro rei. |
| And as for that which was broken, in place of which four came up, four kingdoms will come up from his nation, but not with his power. | O ter sido quebrado, levantando-se quatro em lugar dele, significa que quatro reinos se levantarão da mesma nação, porém não com a força dele. |
| And in the later years of their kingdom, when their evil doings have become complete, there will come up a king full of pride and expert in dark sayings. | Mas, no fim do reinado deles, quando os transgressores tiverem chegado ao cúmulo, levantar-se-á um rei, feroz de semblante e que entende enigmas. |
| And his power will be great, and he will be purposing strange things. And all will go well for him and he will do his pleasure; and he will send destruction on the strong ones. | Grande será o seu poder, mas não de si mesmo; e destruirá terrivelmente, e prosperará, e fará o que lhe aprouver; e destruirá os poderosos e o povo santo. |
| And his designs will be turned against the holy people, causing deceit to do well in his hand; in his heart he will make himself great, and send destruction on numbers who are living unconscious of their danger; and he will put himself up against the prince of princes; but he will be broken, though not by men's hands. | Pela sua sutileza fará prosperar o engano na sua mão; no seu coração se engrandecerá, e destruirá a muitos que vivem em segurança; e se levantará contra o príncipe dos príncipes; mas será quebrado sem intervir mão de homem. |
| And the vision of evenings and mornings which has been talked of is true: and keep the vision secret; for it has to do with the far-off future. | E a visão da tarde e da manhã, que foi dita, é verdadeira. Tu, porém, cerra a visão, porque se refere a dias mui distantes. |
| And I, Daniel, was ill for some days; then I got up and did the king's business: and I was full of wonder at the vision, but no one was able to give the sense of it. | E eu, Daniel, desmaiei, e estive enfermo alguns dias; então me levantei e tratei dos negócios do rei. E espantei-me acerca da visão, pois não havia quem a entendesse. |
