Daniel 8:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 It was the third year of King Belshazzar's rule. After the vision that had already appeared to me, I had another one.
2 In my vision I saw myself in the city of Susa. It has high walls around it. It is in the land of Elam. In the vision I was beside the Ulai Waterway.
3 I looked up and saw a ram that had two horns. He was standing beside the waterway. His horns were long. One of them was longer than the other. But it grew up later.
4 I watched the ram as he charged toward the west. He also charged toward the north and the south. No animal could stand up against him. Not one of them could save anyone from his power. He did as he pleased. And he became great.
5 I was thinking about all of that. Then a goat suddenly came from the west. He had a large horn between his eyes. He raced across the whole earth without even touching the ground.
6 He came toward the ram that had the two horns. It was the ram I had seen standing beside the waterway. The goat was burning with anger. He charged at the ram.
7 I saw him attack the ram with mighty force. He struck the ram and broke his two horns. The ram didn't have the power to stand up against him. The goat knocked him to the ground and stomped on him. No one could save the ram from his power.
8 The goat became very great. But when his power was at its greatest, his large horn was broken off. In its place four large horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Out of one of the four horns came another horn. It started small but became more and more powerful. It grew to the south and to the east and toward the beautiful land of Israel.
10 It grew until it reached the stars in the sky. It threw some of them down to the earth. And it stomped on them.
11 It set itself up to be as great as God. He is the Prince of the heavenly army. It took the daily sacrifices away from him. And his temple in Jerusalem was brought low.
12 Because many of God's people refused to obey him, they were handed over to the horn. The daily sacrifices were also given over to it. It was successful no matter what it did. And the true worship of God was thrown down to the ground.
13 Then I heard a holy angel speaking. Another holy angel spoke to him. He asked, "How long will it take for the vision to come true? The daily sacrifices will be stopped. Those who refuse to obey God will be destroyed. The temple will be handed over to an enemy. And some of the stars will be stomped on."
14 One of the holy angels said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings. Then the temple will be made holy again."
15 I was watching the vision. And I was trying to understand it. Then I saw someone who looked like a man.
16 I heard a voice from the Ulai Waterway. It called out, "Gabriel, tell Daniel what his vision means."
17 Gabriel came close to where I was standing. I was terrified and fell down flat with my face toward the ground. He said to me, "Son of man, I want you to understand that the vision tells about the time of the end."
18 While he was speaking to me, I was sound asleep. I lay with my face toward the ground. Then he touched me. He raised me to my feet.
19 He said, "I am going to tell you what will happen later. It will take place when God is angry. The vision tells about the appointed time of the end.
20 You saw a ram that had two horns. It stands for the kings of Media and Persia.
21 The goat stands for the king of Greece. The large horn between his eyes is the first king.
22 Four horns took its place when it was broken off. They stand for four kingdoms that will come from his nation. But those kingdoms will not be as powerful as his.
23 "Toward the end of their rule, those who refuse to obey God will become completely evil. Then another king will appear. He will have a mean-looking face. He will be a master at making clever plans.
24 He will become very strong. But he will not get that way by his own power. People will be amazed at the way he destroys everything. He will be successful no matter what he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people.
25 "He will tell lies in order to succeed. He will think he is more important than anyone else. When people feel safe, he will destroy many of them. He will stand up against the greatest Prince of all. Then he will be destroyed. But he will not be killed by human beings.
26 "The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given to you is true. But seal up the vision. It tells about a time far off."
27 I was worn out. I lay sick for several days. Then I got up and returned to my work for the king. The vision bewildered me. I couldn't understand it.
1 In the third H7969 MFS year H8141 B-CFS of the reign H4438 of king H4428 D-NMS Belshazzar H1112 a vision H2377 appeared H7200 unto H413 PREP-1MS me , even unto me H589 PPRO-1MS Daniel H1840 , after that H310 PREP which appeared H7200 unto H413 PREP-1MS me at the first H8462 .
2 And I saw H7200 in a vision H2377 ; and it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when I saw H7200 , that I H589 W-PPRO-1MS was at Shushan H7800 in the palace H1002 , which H834 RPRO is in the province H4082 of Elam H5867 ; and I saw H7200 in a vision H2377 , and I H589 W-PPRO-1MS was H1961 VQQ1MS by H5921 PREP the river H180 of Ulai H195 .
3 Then I lifted up H5375 mine eyes H5869 CMD-1MS , and saw H7200 , and , behold H2009 IJEC , there stood H5975 before H6440 L-CMP the river H180 a H259 MMS ram H352 which had two horns H7161 : and the two horns H7161 were high H1364 ; but one H259 was higher H1364 than H4480 PREP the other H8145 D-ONUM , and the higher H1364 came up H5927 last H314 .
4 I saw H7200 VQQ1MS the ram H352 pushing H5055 westward H3220 , and northward H6828 , and southward H5045 W-NMS-3FS ; so that no H3808 ADV beasts H2416 might stand H5975 before H6440 L-CMP-3MS him , neither H369 W-NPAR was there any that could deliver H5337 out of his hand H3027 M-CFS-3MS ; but he did H6213 W-VQQ3MS according to his will H7522 , and became great H1431 .
5 And as I H589 W-PPRO-1MS was H1961 VQQ1MS considering H995 , behold H2009 IJEC , a he goat H6842 came H935 VQPMS from H4480 PREP the west H4628 on H5921 PREP the face H6440 CMP of the whole H3605 CMS earth H776 D-GFS , and touched H5060 not H369 W-NPAR the ground H776 B-NFS : and the goat H6842 had a notable H2380 horn H7161 between H996 PREP his eyes H5869 .
6 And he came H935 W-VQY3MS to H5704 PREP the ram H352 that had H1167 CMS two horns H7161 , which H834 RPRO I had seen H7200 VQQ1MS standing H5975 before H6440 L-CMP the river H180 , and ran H7323 unto H413 PREP-3MS him in the fury H2534 of his power H3581 .
7 And I saw H7200 him come close H5060 unto H681 the ram H352 , and he was moved with anger H4843 against H413 PREP-3MS him , and smote H5221 W-VHY3MS the ram H352 , and broke H7665 his two H8147 ONUM horns H7161 : and there was H1961 VQQ3MS no H3808 W-NPAR power H3581 NMS in the ram H352 to stand H5975 before H6440 L-CMP-3MS him , but he cast him down H7993 to the ground H776 NFS-3FS , and stamped upon H7429 him : and there was H1961 VQQ3MS none H3808 W-NPAR that could deliver H5337 the ram H352 out of his hand H3027 .
8 Therefore the he goat H6842 waxed very great H1431 : and when he was strong H6105 , the great H1419 D-AFS horn H7161 was broken H7665 ; and for H8478 CMP-3FS it came up H5927 four H702 L-NUM notable ones H2380 toward the four H702 L-NUM winds H7307 CFP of heaven H8064 D-AMD .
9 And out of H4480 W-PREP one H259 of H4480 W-PREP them came forth H3318 VQQ3MS a H259 OFS little H4704 horn H7161 , which waxed exceeding great H1431 , toward H413 PREP the south H5045 D-NMS , and toward H413 PREP the east H4217 , and toward H413 PREP the pleasant H6643 land .
10 And it waxed great H1431 , even to H5704 PREP the host H6635 of heaven H8064 D-AMP ; and it cast down H5307 some of H4480 PREP the host H6635 and of H4480 PREP the stars H3556 to the ground H776 NFS-3FS , and stamped upon H7429 them .
11 Yea , he magnified H1431 himself even to H5704 W-PREP the prince H8269 of the host H6635 , and by H4480 him the daily H8548 sacrifice was taken away H7311 , and the place H4349 of his sanctuary H4720 was cast down H7993 .
12 And a host H6635 W-NMS was given H5414 him against H5921 PREP the daily H8548 sacrifice by reason of transgression H6588 , and it cast down H7993 the truth H571 CFS to the ground H776 NFS-3FS ; and it practiced H6213 , and prospered H6743 .
13 Then I heard H8085 one H259 saint H6918 speaking H1696 VPPMS , and another H259 MMS saint H6918 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto that certain H6422 saint which spoke H1696 , How long H5704 PREP shall be the vision H2377 concerning the daily H8548 sacrifice , and the transgression H6588 of desolation H8074 , to give H5414 VQFC both the sanctuary H6944 and the host H6635 W-NMS to be trodden under foot H4823 ?
14 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , Unto H5704 PREP two thousand H505 and three H7969 W-BFS hundred H3967 BFP days H6153 NUM-MS ; then shall the sanctuary H6944 be cleansed H6663 .
15 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when I , even I H589 PPRO-1MS Daniel H1840 , had seen H7200 the vision H2377 , and sought H1245 for the meaning H998 , then , behold H2009 IJEC , there stood H5975 before H5048 me as the appearance H4758 of a man H1397 NMS .
16 And I heard H8085 a man H120 NMS \'s voice H6963 CMS between H996 PREP the banks of Ulai H195 , which called H7121 W-VQY3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Gabriel H1403 , make this H1975 man to understand H995 the vision H4758 .
17 So he came H935 W-VQY3MS near H681 where I stood H5977 : and when he came H935 , I was afraid H1204 , and fell H5307 upon H5921 PREP my face H6440 : but he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , Understand H995 , O son H1121 of man H120 NMS : for H3588 CONJ at the time H6256 L-CMS of the end H7093 RMS shall be the vision H4758 .
18 Now as he was speaking H1696 with H5973 me , I was in a deep sleep H7290 on H5921 PREP my face H6440 NMP-1MS toward the ground H776 NFS-3FS : but he touched H5060 W-VQY3MS me , and set H5975 me upright H5977 .
19 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Behold H2009 , I will make thee know H3045 what H834 RPRO shall be H1961 VQY3MS in the last end H319 of the indignation H2195 : for H3588 CONJ at the time appointed H4150 the end H7093 shall be .
20 The ram H352 which H834 RPRO thou sawest H7200 VQQ2MS having H1167 CMS two horns H7161 are the kings H4428 CMP of Media H4074 and Persia H6539 .
21 And the rough H8163 goat H6842 is the king H4428 NMS of Greece H3120 EMS : and the great H1419 D-AFS horn H7161 that H834 RPRO is between H996 PREP his eyes H5869 CMD-3MS is the first H7223 king H4428 NMS .
22 Now that being broken H7665 , whereas four H702 MFS stood up H5975 for H8478 CMP-3FS it , four H702 MFS kingdoms H4438 shall stand up H5975 out of the nation H1471 , but not H3808 W-NPAR in his power H3581 .
23 And in the latter time H319 of their kingdom H4438 , when the transgressors H6586 are come to the full H8552 , a king H4428 NMS of fierce H5794 countenance H6440 NMP , and understanding H995 dark sentences H2420 , shall stand up H5975 VQY3MS .
24 And his power H3581 CMS-3MS shall be mighty H6105 , but not H3808 W-NPAR by his own power H3581 : and he shall destroy H7843 wonderfully H6381 W-VNPFP , and shall prosper H6743 , and practice H6213 W-VQQ3MS , and shall destroy H7843 the mighty H6099 and the holy H6918 people H5971 .
25 And through H5921 W-PREP his policy H7922 also he shall cause craft H4820 NFS to prosper H6743 in his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS ; and he shall magnify H1431 himself in his heart H3824 , and by peace H7962 shall destroy H7843 many H7227 AMP : he shall also stand up H5975 VQY3MS against H5921 W-PREP the Prince H8269 of princes H8269 NMP ; but he shall be broken H7665 without H657 hand H3027 NFS .
26 And the vision H4758 of the evening H6153 and the morning H1242 which H834 RPRO was told H559 is true H571 CFS : wherefore shut thou up H859 W-PPRO-2MS the vision H2377 ; for H3588 CONJ it shall be for many H7227 AMP days H3117 L-NMP .
27 And I H589 W-PPRO-1MS Daniel H1840 fainted H1961 , and was sick H2470 certain days H3117 NMP ; afterward I rose up H6965 , and did H6213 the king H4428 D-NMS \'s business H4399 ; and I was astonished H8074 at H5921 PREP the vision H4758 , but none H369 W-NPAR understood H995 it .
