¹In 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.

¹Kuningas Belsassari valitsemise kolmandal aastal ilmutati mulle, Taanielile, nägemus lisaks sellele, mis mulle varem oli ilmutatud.

²And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.

²Kui ma nägemuses nägin, siis ma olin, kui ma vaatasin, Suusani palees Eelami maakonnas; ja ma nägin selles nägemuses, et ma olin Uulai jõe ääres.

³Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river 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.

³Ja ma tõstsin oma silmad üles ja vaatasin, ja ennäe, üks jäär seisis teisel pool jõge ja tal oli kaks sarve; ja sarved olid pikad, aga üks oli teisest pikem, ja pikem tõusis viimasena.

⁴I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.

⁴Ma nägin jäära kaevlevat lääne ja põhja ja lõuna poole, ja ükski loom ei suutnud temale vastu seista ega olnud tema käest päästjat; ta tegi, nagu temale meeldis, ja ta suurustas.

⁵And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

⁵Siis ma panin tähele, ja vaata, üks sikk tuli lääne poolt üle kogu maa, ilma et ta oleks puudutanud maad; ja sikul oli silmade vahel võimas sarv.

⁶And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.

⁶Ja ta tuli kahe sarvega jäära juurde, keda ma olin näinud seisvat teisel pool jõge, ja jooksis oma vägevas vihas sellele kallale.

⁷And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

⁷Ja ma nägin teda jõudvat jäära juurde; siis ta märatses selle vastu ja puskis jäära ning murdis selle mõlemad sarved; ja jääral ei olnud jõudu temale vastu seista, vaid too paiskas ta maha ja tallas teda; ja ei olnud kedagi, kes oleks päästnud jäära tema käest.

⁸Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

⁸Ja sikk suurustas väga, aga kui ta oli vägevuse tipul, murdus võimas sarv ja selle asemele kasvas neli suurt sarve taeva nelja tuule poole.

⁹And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

⁹Ja ühest neist sarvedest tuli veel üks pisike sarv ja see kasvas väga suureks lõuna ja ida ja ilusa maa suunas.

¹⁰And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

¹⁰Ta kasvas suureks kuni taeva väeni ja paiskas maha mõned sellest väest ja tähtedest ning tallas neid.

¹¹Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.

¹¹Ja ta tõstis ennast kuni selle väe vürstini; sellelt võeti ära alaline ohver ja ta pühamu paik tõugati ümber.

¹²And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

¹²Ja alalise ohvri asemele pandi üleastumise vägi; ta paiskas tõe maha, ja mida ta tegi, läks tal korda.

¹³Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

¹³Siis ma kuulsin ühte püha kõnelevat, ja teine püha küsis kõnelejalt: 'Kui kaua kestab see nägemus alalisest ohvrist ja hukutavast üleastumisest, pühamu ja väe tallataandmisest?'

¹⁴And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

¹⁴Ja ta ütles mulle: 'Kaks tuhat kolmsada õhtut-hommikut. Siis saab pühamu taas oma õiguse.'

¹⁵And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

¹⁵Ja kui mina, Taaniel, olin näinud seda nägemust ja püüdsin seda mõista, vaata, siis seisis mu ees keegi, kellel oli mehe välimus.

¹⁶And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

¹⁶Ja ma kuulsin inimese häält Uulai kallaste vahelt, ja see hüüdis ning ütles: 'Gabriel, seleta see nägemus tollele seal!'

¹⁷So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

¹⁷Siis ta tuli sinna, kus ma seisin, ja kui ta tuli, siis ma kohkusin ja langesin silmili maha. Ja ta ütles mulle: 'Inimesepoeg, pane tähele, et see nägemus tähendab viimset aega!'

¹⁸Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.

¹⁸Ja kui ta minuga rääkis, olin ma sügavas unes, silmili maas; aga ta puudutas mind ja pani mu seisma sinna, kus ma olin seisnud,

¹⁹And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

¹⁹ja ütles: 'Vaata, ma annan sulle teada, mis sünnib sajatuse viimsel ajal: seatud ajal tuleb lõpp!

²⁰The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

²⁰Jäär, keda sa nägid, kellel oli kaks sarve, on Meedia ja Pärsia kuningad.

²¹And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

²¹Karune sikk on Kreeka kuningas; suur sarv tema silmade vahel on esimene kuningas.

²²Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

²²Ja et see murdus ning neli tõusid selle asemele, on neli kuningriiki, mis tõusevad tema rahvast, aga mitte nii vägevad kui tema.

²³And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

²³Ja nende valitsuste lõpus, kui üleastujate mõõt on täis saanud, tõuseb üks kuningas, jultunud näoga ja salasepitsustes osav.

²⁴And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

²⁴Ja tema jõud on vägev, aga mitte tema enese jõust, ja ta valmistab tohutu õnnetuse; tal on kordaminek teos ja ta hävitab vägevaid ja püha rahva.

²⁵And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

²⁵Tema kavaluse tõttu õnnestub pettus ta käes; ta suurustab oma südames ja hävitab paljusid ootamatult. Ta tõuseb ka vürstide vürsti vastu, ent ta ise murtakse ilma inimkäeta.

²⁶And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

²⁶Ja nägemus õhtuist ja hommikuist, millest oli kõne, on tõsi; aga sina hoia see nägemus saladuses, sest see on kaugeiks päeviks!'

²⁷And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

²⁷Ja mina, Taaniel, olin seejärel mõnda aega haige; siis ma tõusin üles ja toimetasin kuninga teenistust, aga ma olin kohkunud nägemuse pärast ega mõistnud seda.
