1 El tercer año del reinado del rey Belsasar, yo, Daniel, tuve una visión, después de la anterior.

1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.

2 En esa visión yo estaba junto al río Ulai en Susa, la capital, en la provincia de Elam.

2 I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.

3 Alcé los ojos y miré. Ahí estaba un carnero parado frente al río. Aunque tenía dos cuernos largos, uno era más alto que el otro, y el más alto creció posteriormente.

3 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

4 Vi que el carnero acometía con sus cuernos hacia el oeste, hacia el norte y hacia el sur. Y ninguna bestia prevalecía delante de él, ni había quien escapara de su poder. Hacía lo que quería y se engrandecía.

4 I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.

5 Mientras yo consideraba esto, vi que un macho cabrío llegaba del oeste sobre la superficie de toda la tierra, sin tocar el suelo. Aquel macho cabrío tenía un cuerno notable entre sus ojos.

5 As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

6 Fue hasta el carnero de dos cuernos que yo vi en la ribera del río, y lo embistió con toda la furia de su fuerza.

6 He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.

7 Lo vi encendido en cólera. Fue hasta el carnero, lo acometió y rompió sus dos cuernos. El carnero no tuvo fuerzas para enfrentarse a él. Por tanto lo derribó a tierra, lo pisoteó, y no hubo quien librara al carnero de su poder.

7 I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.

8 El macho cabrío se engrandeció muchísimo, pero cuando estaba en su mayor poderío, aquel gran cuerno fue quebrado. En su lugar surgieron otros cuatro cuernos notables hacia los cuatro puntos cardinales del cielo.

8 The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.

9 De uno de ellos surgió un cuerno pequeño que creció mucho hacia el sur, hacia el oriente y hacia la tierra gloriosa.

9 Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

10 Se engrandeció hacia la hueste celestial. Echó parte de la hueste y de las estrellas a la tierra, y las pisoteó.

10 It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.

11 Se engrandeció contra el Comandante de la hueste. Quitó el sacrificio continuo y derribó el lugar de su Santuario.

11 Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

12 Se le entregó el ejército para oponerse al sacrificio continuo por causa de la transgresión. Echó a tierra la verdad, efectuó cuanto quiso y prosperó.

12 The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.

13 Entonces oí a un santo que hablaba. Y otro santo preguntó al que hablaba: ¿Hasta cuándo durará la visión del sacrificio continuo, la transgresión desoladora, y la entrega del Santuario y el ejército para que sean pisoteados?

13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”

14 Y él respondió: Hasta 2.300 tardes y mañanas. Luego el Santuario será purificado.

14 He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”

15 Aconteció que mientras yo, Daniel, consideraba la visión y procuraba comprenderla, vi que se colocó delante de mí uno que tenía aspecto de hombre.

15 When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.

16 Y oí una voz de hombre en las riberas del Ulai, que clamó: ¡Gabriel, facilita que éste entienda la visión!

16 I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”

17 Así que fue adonde yo estaba parado. Cuando llegó me postré atemorizado rostro en tierra. Pero él me dijo: Hijo de hombre, entiende que la visión es para el tiempo del fin.

17 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, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”

18 Mientras él hablaba conmigo, me postré en tierra en un profundo adormecimiento. Pero él me tocó y me puso en pie.

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

19 Y me dijo: Mira, te enseñaré lo que ocurrirá en el último tiempo de la ira, porque eso es para el tiempo del fin.

19 He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.

20 En cuanto al carnero que viste que tenía dos cuernos, éstos son los reyes de Media y de Persia.

20 The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

21 El macho cabrío es el rey de Grecia, y el gran cuerno entre sus ojos es el primer rey.

21 The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

22 En cuanto al cuerno que fue quebrado y cuatro surgieron en su lugar, significa que de ese reino se levantarán cuatro reinos, aunque no con la fuerza del primero.

22 As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.

23 Al fin del reinado de éstos, cuando los transgresores completen su transgresión, se levantará un rey altivo de rostro y entendido en enigmas.

23 “In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.

24 Su poder será enorme, pero no por su propia fuerza. Causará grandes ruinas y prosperará, actuará arbitrariamente y destruirá a los fuertes y al pueblo de los santos.

24 His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.

25 Con su sagacidad hará prosperar el engaño en su mano. Se ensoberbecerá en su corazón. En tiempo de seguridad destruirá a muchos y se levantará contra el Príncipe de los príncipes. Pero será quebrantado, aunque no por mano humana.

25 Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.

26 La visión de las tardes y mañanas que se narró es verdadera, pero tú debes guardar la visión, porque es para mucho tiempo [futuro].

26 “The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”

27 Y yo, Daniel, quedé quebrantado y estuve enfermo algunos días. Luego me levanté y atendí los negocios del rey, pero estaba espantado a causa de la visión. No la entendía.

27 I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Quotes verse 8:12 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Chapter XXV)
To this purpose Daniel says again: "And he shall desolate the holy place; and sin has been given for a sacrifice, and righteousness been cast away in the earth, and he has been active (fecit), and gone on prosperously." And the angel Gabriel, when explaining his vision, states with regard to this person: "And towards the end of their kingdom …
