	SEP Brenton Septuagint Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar a vision appeared to me, even to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.	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	And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Aelam, and I was on the bank of Ubal.	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	And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a ram standing in front of the Ubal; and he had high horns; and one was higher than the other, and the high one came up 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	And I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was none that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, 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 I was considering, and, behold, a he-goat came from the south-west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the earth: and the goat had a horn between 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 to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing in front of the Ubal, and he ran at him with the violence of his strength.	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 saw him coming up close to the ram, and he was furiously enraged against him, and he smote the ram, and broke both his horns: and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him on the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.	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	And the he-goat grew exceedingly great: and when he was strong, his great horn was broken; and four other horns rose up in its place toward the four winds of heaven.	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 forth one strong horn, and it grew very great toward the south, and toward the host:	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	and it magnified itself to the host of heaven; and there fell to the earth some of the host of heaven and of the stars, and they trampled on them.	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	And this shall be until the chief captain shall have delivered the captivity: and by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed, and he prospered; and the holy place shall be made desolate.	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 a sin-offering was given for the sacrifice, and righteousness was cast down to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.	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	And I heard one saint speaking, and a saint said to a certain one speaking, How long shall the vision continue, even the removal of the sacrifice, and the bringing in of the sin of desolation; and how long shall the sanctuary and host be trampled?	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 said to him, Evening and morning there shall be two thousand and four hundred days; and then the sanctuary shall 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	And it came to pass, as I, even I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought to understand it, that, behold, there stood before me as the appearance 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 the voice of a man between the banks of the Ubal; and he called, and said, Gabriel, cause that man to understand 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	And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he came, I was struck with awe, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man: for yet the vision is for an appointed time.	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	And while he spoke with me, I fell upon my face to the earth: and he touched me, and set me on my feet.	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 said, Behold, I make thee know the things that shall come to pass at the end of the wrath: for the vision is yet for an appointed time.	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 ram which thou sawest that had the horns is the king of the Medes and Persians.	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	The he-goat is the King of the Greeks: and the great horn which was between his eyes, he 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	And as for the one that was broken, in whose place there stood up four horns, four kings shall arise out of his nation, but not in their own strength.	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 at the latter time of their kingdom, when their sins are coming to the full, there shall arise a king bold in countenance, and understanding riddles.	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	And his power shall be great, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and prosper, and practise, and shall destroy mighty men, 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 the yoke of his chain shall prosper: there is craft in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by craft shall destroy many, and he shall stand up for the destruction of many, and shall crush them as eggs in his hand.	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 evening and morning that was mentioned is true: and do thou seal the vision; for it is for many days.	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	And I Daniel fell asleep, and was sick: then I arose, and did the king's business; and I wondered at the vision, and there was none that understood 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.
