1: In yearH8141 threeH7969 of the reignH4438 of BelshazzarH1112 KingH4428 a visionH2377 appearedH7200 to meH0413 [to] meH0589 Daniel,H1840 afterH0310 the one that appearedH7200 to meH0413 the first time.H8462

2: And I sawH7200 in the vision-H2377 and it so happened,H1961 while I was looking,H7200 that I [was]H0589 in ShushanH7800 the citadel,H1002 which [is]H0834 in Elam-H5867 the provinceH4082 and I sawH7200 in the vision,H2377 that IH0589 wasH1961 byH5921 the RiverH0180 Ulai.H0195

3: And I liftedH5375 my eyes,H5869 and saw,H7200 and there,H2009 ramH0352 aH0259 standing wasH5975 besideH6440 the riverH0180 two horns-H7161 and the two hornsH7161 [were] high-H1364 but one [was]H0259 higherH1364 thanH4480 the second,H8145 and the higher [one]H1364 came upH5927 last.H0314

4: I sawH7200 -H0853 the ramH0352 pushingH5055 westward,H3220 and northward,H6828 and southward-H5045 so thatH3605 animalH2416 noH3808 could withstandH5975 himH6440 and [there was] noneH0369 that could deliverH5337 from his hand-H3027 but he didH6213 according to his will,H7522 and became great.H1431

5: And as IH0589 wasH1961 considering,H0995 and suddenly,H2009 a male goatH6842 goatH5795 cameH0935 fromH4480 the westH4628 acrossH5921 the surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earth,H0776 and withoutH0369 touchingH5060 the ground-H0776 and the goat [had]H6842 a hornH7161 notableH2380 betweenH0996 his eyes.H5869

6: And he cameH0935 toH5704 the ramH0352 that hadH1167 two horns,H7161 whichH0834 I had seenH7200 standingH5975 besideH6440 the river,H0180 and at ranH7323 himH0413 with furiousH2534 power.H3581

7: And I saw himH7200 confrontingH5060 toH0681 the ram,H0352 and he was moved with rageH4843 against himH0413 and attackedH5221 -H0853 the ram,H0352 and brokeH7665 -H0853 twoH8147 his horns,H7161 and noH3808 there wasH1961 powerH3581 in the ramH0352 to withstandH5975 himH6440 but he cast him downH7993 to the ground,H0776 and trampled himH7429 and no oneH3808 there wasH1961 that could deliverH5337 the ramH0352 from his hand.H3027

8: Therefore the male goatH6842 goatH5795 grew-H1431 -H5704 very greatH3966 but when he became strong,H6105 was broken-H7665 the hornH7161 largeH1419 and came upH5927 notable onesH2380 fourH0702 in place of itH8478 toward fourH0702 windsH7307 of the heaven.H8064

9: And outH4480 of oneH0259 of themH1992 cameH3318 horn,H7161 aH0259 littleH4704 and which grew greatH1431 exceedingly,H3499 towardH0413 the south,H5045 and towardH0413 the east,H4217 and towardH0413 the Glorious [Land].H6643

10: And it grew up,H1431 toH5704 the hostH6635 of heaven-H8064 and it cast downH5307 to the ground,H0776 [some]H4480 of the hostH6635 and [some]H4480 of the starsH3556 and trampled them.H7429

11: And even as high asH5704 the PrinceH8269 of the host,H6635 He exalted [himself]H1431 and by himH4480 were taken away,H7311 the daily [sacrifices]H8548 and was cast downH7993 the placeH4349 of His sanctuary.H4720

12: And an armyH6635 was given over [to the horn]H5414 to opposeH5921 the daily [sacrifices]H8548 because of transgression,H6588 and he cast downH7993 truthH0571 to the ground-H0776 and He did [all this],H6213 and prospered.H6743

13: And I heardH8085 aH0259 holy oneH6918 speaking,H1696 and saidH0559 [another]H0259 holy oneH6918 to that certain [one]H6422 who was speaking,H1696 howH5704 long [will be]H4970 the visionH2377 [concerning] the daily [sacrifices]H8548 and the transgressionH6588 of desolation,H8074 the givingH5414 and both the sanctuaryH6944 and the hostH6635 to be trampled under [foot]?H4823

14: and he saidH0559 to meH0413 forH5704 eveningsH6153 days-H1242 two thousandH0505 and threeH7969 hundredH3967 then shall be cleansedH6663 the sanctuary.H6944

15: And it came to pass,H1961 when had seenH7200 IH0589 Daniel,H1840 -H0853 the vision,H2377 and was seekingH1245 the meaning,H0998 that suddenly,H2009 there stoodH5975 before meH5048 one having the appearanceH4758 of a man.H1397

16: And I heardH8085 a voiceH6963 of manH0120 between [the banks of]H0996 the Ulai,H0195 and who called,H7121 and said,H0559 Gabriel,H1403 make understandH0995 this [man]H1975 -H0853 the vision.H4758

17: So he cameH0935 nearH0681 where I stoodH5975 and when he came,H0935 I was afraid,H1204 and fellH5307 onH5921 my face-H6440 but he saidH0559 to meH0413 Understand,H0995 sonH1121 of man,H0120 thatH3588 to the timeH6256 of the endH7093 the vision [refers].H2377

18: And as he was speakingH1696 with meH5973 I was in a deep sleepH7290 withH5921 my faceH6440 to the ground-H0776 but he touchedH5060 and stood meH5975 onH5921 upright.H5975

19: And he said,H0559 LookH2005 I am making known to youH3045 -H0853 whatH0834 shall happenH1961 in the latter timeH0319 of the indignation,H2195 forH3588 at the time appointedH4150 the end [shall be].H7093

20: The ramH0352 whichH0834 you sawH7200 havingH1167 the two hornsH7161 [they are] the kingsH4428 of MediaH4074 and Persia.H6539

21: And the goat [is]H6842 maleH8163 the kingdomH4428 of Greece,H3120 and the hornH7161 largeH1419 that [is]H0834 betweenH0996 its eyesH5869 isH1931 the kingH4428 first.H7223

22: And as for the broken [horn],H7665 that stood upH5975 the fourH0702 in its placeH8478 fourH0702 kingdomsH4438 out of that nation,H1471 shall ariseH5975 but notH3808 with its power.H3581

23: And in the latter timeH0319 of their kingdom,H4438 when have reached their fullness,H8552 the transgressorsH6586 shall arise.H5975 A kingH4428 fierceH5794 Having features,H6440 and who understandsH0995 sinister schemes,H2420

24: and shall be mighty,H6105 His powerH3581 but notH3808 by his own power,H3581 and fearfully,H6381 He shall destroyH7843 and shall prosper,H6743 and thrive,H6213 and He shall destroyH7843 the mightyH6099 and [also] the peopleH5971 holy.H6918

25: And ThroughH5921 his cunningH7922 and He shall cause to prosperH6743 deceitH4820 under his rule-H3027 and in his heart,H3824 he shall exalt [himself]H1431 and in [their] prosperityH7962 He shall destroyH7843 many-H7227 and even againstH5921 the PrinceH8269 of princes-H8269 He shall riseH5975 but withoutH0657 [human] meansH3027 he shall be broken.H7665

26: And the visionH4758 of the eveningsH6153 and morningsH1242 whichH0834 was toldH0559 TRUE-H0571 isH1931 therefore youH0859 seal upH5640 the vision-H2377 forH3588 [it refers] to days [in the future]H3117 many.H7227

27: And IH0589 DanielH1840 fainted,H1961 and was sickH2470 for days-H3117 and afterward I arose,H6965 and went aboutH6213 -H0853 business-H4399 of the kingH4428 and I was astonishedH8074 byH5921 the vision,H4758 but no oneH0369 understood it.H0995
