	BISHOPS Bishops' Bible of 1568	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	In the third yere of the raigne of king Balthasar, there appeared a vision vnto me euen vnto me Daniel, after that which I had seene in the beginning.	In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.	In the third year of King Belshazzar’s reign, I, Daniel, had a vision, after the one that had already appeared to me.
2	I saw in a vision (and when I saw it, I was in the palace of Susis, which is in the prouince of Elam) and in the vision me thought I was by the riuer of Ulai.	And I saw in the vision; and when I saw, I was in Susa the citadel, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was at the Ulai canal.	In my vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa in the province of Elam; in the vision I was beside the Ulai Canal.
3	Then I loked vp and saw, & beholde, there stoode before the riuer a ramme which had two hornes: and these two hornes were hye, but one was hyer then the other, & the hyest came vp last.	I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram standing on the bank of the canal. It had two horns, and both horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.	I looked up, and there before me was a ram with two horns, standing beside the canal, and the horns were long. One of the horns was longer than the other but grew up later.
4	I saw that this ramme pushed with his hornes against the west, against the north, and against the south: so that no beastes might stand before him, nor defend them from his power, but he did as him listed, and became great.	I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward. No beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.	I watched the ram as it charged toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against it, and none could rescue from its power. It did as it pleased and became great.
5	And as I considered, beholde there came a hee goate from the west, ouer the whole earth, and touched not the grounde: and this goate had a horne appeared betwixt his eyes.	As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground. And the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.	As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between its eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground.
6	And he came vnto the ramme that had the two hornes (whom I had seene standing by the riuer) and ranne fiercely vpon him with his might.	He came to the ram with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, and he ran at him in his powerful wrath.	It came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at it in great rage.
7	And I sawe him drawe nye vnto the ramme, being very fierce vpon him, yea he smote the ramme and brake his two hornes, neither had the ramme so much strength as to stande before him: but he cast him downe to the grounde, trode him vnder his feete, & there was none able to deliuer the ramme out of his power.	I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns. And the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power.	I saw it attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against it; the goat knocked it to the ground and trampled on it, and none could rescue the ram from its power.
8	Therefore the goate waxed exceeding great, & when he was at the strongest, his great horne was broken: Then grew there other foure notable ones in the steade of it, towarde the foure windes of the heauen.	Then the goat became exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.	The goat became very great, but at the height of its power the large horn was broken off, and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven.
9	And out of one of them came foorth a litle horne, which waxed very great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the pleasaunt lande.	Out of one of them came a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land.	Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land.
10	It grewe vp vnto the hoast of heauen, whereof it did cast some downe to the grounde, and of the starres also, and trode them vnder foote.	It grew great, even to the host of heaven. And some of the host and some of the stars it threw down to the ground and trampled on them.	It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them.
11	Yea, it grewe vp against the prince of the hoast, from whom the dayly sacrifice was taken away, and the places of his sanctuarie caste downe.	It became great, even as great as the Prince of the host. And the regular burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown.	It set itself up to be as great as the commander of the army of the LORD; it took away the daily sacrifice from the LORD, and his sanctuary was thrown down.
12	And power was geuen vnto it ouer the dayly sacrifice for the iniquitie, and it shall cast downe the trueth to the grounde: and thus shall it do, and prosper.	And a host will be given over to it together with the regular burnt offering because of transgression, and it will throw truth to the ground, and it will act and prosper.	Because of rebellion, the LORD’s people and the daily sacrifice were given over to it. It prospered in everything it did, and truth was thrown to the ground.
13	Upon this, I heard one of the sainctes speaking, and one of the sainctes spake vnto Palmoni, saying: how long shal the vision of the dayly sacrifice and of the iniquitie of desolation endure, to geue both the sanctuarie and the power to be troden vnder foote?	Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, “For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot?”	Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled—the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary and the trampling underfoot of the LORD’s people?”
14	And he aunswered me: Unto the euening and the morning, two thousand and three hundred: then shal the sanctuarie be cleansed.	And he said to me, “For 2,300 evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state.”	He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.”
15	Now when I Daniel had seene this vision, and sought for the vnderstanding of it: beholde, there stoode before me like the similitude of a man.	When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. And behold, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.	While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there before me stood one who looked like a man.
16	And I heard a mans voyce betweene Ulai, which cryed, and saide: O Gabriel make this man vnderstande the vision.	And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, and it called, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”	And I heard a man’s voice from the Ulai calling, “Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision.”
17	So he came and stoode by me: but I was afraide at his comming, and fell downe vpo my face: Then said he vnto me, Understand O thou sonne of man: for at the time of the ende this vision shalbe.	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, O son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.”	As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”
18	Now as he was speaking vnto me, I fell in a slumber vpon my face to the grounde: but he touched me, and set me vp in my place.	And when he had spoken to me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground. But he touched me and made me stand up.	While he was speaking to me, I was in a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and raised me to my feet.
19	And he saide, Beholde, I wyll shewe thee what shalbe in the last wrath: for in the time appoynted it shalbe fulfilled.	He said, “Behold, I will make known to you what shall be at the latter end of the indignation, for it refers to the appointed time of the end.	He said: “I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end.
20	The ramme which thou sawest hauing two hornes, is the king of the Medes and Perses,	As for the ram that you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia.	The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.
21	And the goate, is the king of Grecia: and the great horne that is betwixt his eyes, that is the first king.	And the goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king.	The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is the first king.
22	But where as it brake, & foure other rose vp in the steade: it signifieth, that out of this people shall stande vp foure kingdomes, but not so mightie as it.	As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his nation, but not with his power.	The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.
23	And in the ende of their kingdome, when the wicked are come to the full, a king of a fierce countenaunce, and vnderstanding harde sentences, shall stand vp.	And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise.	“In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise.
24	His power shalbe mightie, but not in his strength, & he shall destroy wonderfully, he shall prosper & practise, and destroy the mightie and the holy people.	His power shall be great—but not by his own power; and he shall cause fearful destruction and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints.	He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people.
25	And through his policie also he shall cause craft to prosper in his handes, he shall extoll him selfe in his heart, and in prosperitie he shall destroy many, & many one shalbe put to death in his wealthinesse: he shall stande vp against the prince of princes, but he shalbe destroyed without hande.	By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall become great. Without warning he shall destroy many. And he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes, and he shall be broken—but by no human hand.	He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
26	And the vision of the euening and the morning, which is declared, is true: therfore seale thou vp the vision, for it shalbe after many dayes.	The vision of the evenings and the mornings that has been told is true, but seal up the vision, for it refers to many days from now.”	“The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given you is true, but seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”
27	Upon this was I Daniel feeble, so that I lay sicke certaine dayes: but when I rose vp, I went about ye kinges busines, and was astonied at the vision, neuerthelesse, no man vnderstoode it.	And I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for some days. Then I rose and went about the king’s business, but I was appalled by the vision and did not understand it.	I, Daniel, was worn out. I lay exhausted for several days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was appalled by the vision; it was beyond understanding.
