9	וּמִן־ הָאַחַ֣ת מֵהֶ֔ם יָצָ֥א קֶֽרֶן־ אַחַ֖ת מִצְּעִירָ֑ה וַתִּגְדַּל־ יֶ֛תֶר אֶל־ הַנֶּ֥גֶב וְאֶל־ הַמִּזְרָ֖ח וְאֶל־ הַצֶּֽבִי׃	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	וַתִּגְדַּ֖ל עַד־ צְבָ֣א הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וַתַּפֵּ֥ל אַ֛רְצָה מִן־ הַצָּבָ֥א וּמִן־ הַכּוֹכָבִ֖ים וַֽתִּרְמְסֵֽם׃	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	וְעַ֥ד שַֽׂר־ הַצָּבָ֖א הִגְדִּ֑יל וּמִמֶּ֙נּוּ֙ [הרים] (הוּרַ֣ם) הַתָּמִ֔יד וְהֻשְׁלַ֖ךְ מְכ֥וֹן מִקְדָּשֽׁוֹ׃	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	וְצָבָ֛א תִּנָּתֵ֥ן עַל־ הַתָּמִ֖יד בְּפָ֑שַׁע וְתַשְׁלֵ֤ךְ אֱמֶת֙ אַ֔רְצָה וְעָשְׂתָ֖ה וְהִצְלִֽיחָה׃	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	וָאֶשְׁמְעָ֥ה אֶֽחָד־ קָד֖וֹשׁ מְדַבֵּ֑ר וַיֹּאמֶר֩ אֶחָ֨ד קָד֜וֹשׁ לַפַּֽלְמוֹנִ֣י הַֽמְדַבֵּ֗ר עַד־ מָתַ֞י הֶחָז֤וֹן הַתָּמִיד֙ וְהַפֶּ֣שַׁע שֹׁמֵ֔ם תֵּ֛ת וְקֹ֥דֶשׁ וְצָבָ֖א מִרְמָֽס׃	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	וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֔י עַ֚ד עֶ֣רֶב בֹּ֔קֶר אַלְפַּ֖יִם וּשְׁלֹ֣שׁ מֵא֑וֹת וְנִצְדַּ֖ק קֹֽדֶשׁ׃	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	וַיְהִ֗י בִּרְאֹתִ֛י אֲנִ֥י דָנִיֵּ֖אל אֶת־ הֶחָז֑וֹן וָאֲבַקְשָׁ֣ה בִינָ֔ה וְהִנֵּ֛ה עֹמֵ֥ד לְנֶגְדִּ֖י כְּמַרְאֵה־ גָֽבֶר׃	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	וָאֶשְׁמַ֥ע קוֹל־ אָדָ֖ם בֵּ֣ין אוּלָ֑י וַיִּקְרָא֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר גַּבְרִיאֵ֕ל הָבֵ֥ן לְהַלָּ֖ז אֶת־ הַמַּרְאֶֽה׃	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	וַיָּבֹא֙ אֵ֣צֶל עָמְדִ֔י וּבְבֹא֣וֹ נִבְעַ֔תִּי וָאֶפְּלָ֖ה עַל־ פָּנָ֑י וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלַי֙ הָבֵ֣ן בֶּן־ אָדָ֔ם כִּ֖י לְעֶת־ קֵ֥ץ הֶחָזֽוֹן׃	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	וּבְדַבְּר֣וֹ עִמִּ֔י נִרְדַּ֥מְתִּי עַל־ פָּנַ֖י אָ֑רְצָה וַיִּ֨גַּע־ בִּ֔י וַיַּֽעֲמִידֵ֖נִי עַל־ עָמְדִֽי׃	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	וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הִנְנִ֣י מוֹדִֽיעֲךָ֔ אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־ יִהְיֶ֖ה בְּאַחֲרִ֣ית הַזָּ֑עַם כִּ֖י לְמוֹעֵ֥ד קֵֽץ׃	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	הָאַ֥יִל אֲשֶׁר־ רָאִ֖יתָ בַּ֣עַל הַקְּרָנָ֑יִם מַלְכֵ֖י מָדַ֥י וּפָרָֽס׃	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	וְהַצָּפִ֥יר הַשָּׂעִ֖יר מֶ֣לֶךְ יָוָ֑ן וְהַקֶּ֤רֶן הַגְּדוֹלָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בֵּין־ עֵינָ֔יו ה֖וּא הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ הָרִאשֽׁוֹן׃	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	וְהַ֨נִּשְׁבֶּ֔רֶת וַתַּֽעֲמֹ֥דְנָה אַרְבַּ֖ע תַּחְתֶּ֑יהָ אַרְבַּ֧ע מַלְכֻי֛וֹת מִגּ֥וֹי יַעֲמֹ֖דְנָה וְלֹ֥א בְכֹחֽוֹ׃	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	וּֽבְאַחֲרִית֙ מַלְכוּתָ֔ם כְּהָתֵ֖ם הַפֹּשְׁעִ֑ים יַעֲמֹ֛ד מֶ֥לֶךְ עַז־ פָּנִ֖ים וּמֵבִ֥ין חִידֽוֹת׃	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	וְעָצַ֤ם כֹּחוֹ֙ וְלֹ֣א בְכֹח֔וֹ וְנִפְלָא֥וֹת יַשְׁחִ֖ית וְהִצְלִ֣יחַ וְעָשָׂ֑ה וְהִשְׁחִ֥ית עֲצוּמִ֖ים וְעַם־ קְדֹשִֽׁים׃	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	וְעַל־ שִׂכְל֗וֹ וְהִצְלִ֤יחַ מִרְמָה֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ וּבִלְבָב֣וֹ יַגְדִּ֔יל וּבְשַׁלְוָ֖ה יַשְׁחִ֣ית רַבִּ֑ים וְעַ֤ל־ שַׂר־ שָׂרִים֙ יַעֲמֹ֔ד וּבְאֶ֥פֶס יָ֖ד יִשָּׁבֵֽר׃	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	וּמַרְאֵ֨ה הָעֶ֧רֶב וְהַבֹּ֛קֶר אֲשֶׁ֥ר נֶאֱמַ֖ר אֱמֶ֣ת ה֑וּא וְאַתָּה֙ סְתֹ֣ם הֶֽחָז֔וֹן כִּ֖י לְיָמִ֥ים רַבִּֽים׃	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	וַאֲנִ֣י דָנִיֵּ֗אל נִהְיֵ֤יתִי וְנֶֽחֱלֵ֙יתִי֙ יָמִ֔ים וָאָק֕וּם וָאֶֽעֱשֶׂ֖ה אֶת־ מְלֶ֣אכֶת הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וָאֶשְׁתּוֹמֵ֥ם עַל־ הַמַּרְאֶ֖ה וְאֵ֥ין מֵבִֽין׃ פ	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.
