1In 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.
MSG
1"In King Belshazzar's third year as king, another vision came to me, Daniel. This was now the second vision.
WEB
2I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
MSG
2"In the vision, I saw myself in Susa, the capital city of the province Elam, standing at the Ulai Canal.
WEB
3Then I lifted up my 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.
MSG
3Looking around, I was surprised to see a ram also standing at the gate. The ram had two huge horns, one bigger than the other, but the bigger horn was the last to appear.
WEB
4I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
MSG
4I watched as the ram charged: first west, then north, then south. No beast could stand up to him. He did just as he pleased, strutting as if he were king of the beasts.
WEB
5As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
MSG
5"While I was watching this, wondering what it all meant, I saw a billy goat with an immense horn in the middle of its forehead come up out of the west and fly across the whole country, not once touching the ground.
WEB
6He 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.
MSG
6The billy goat approached the double-horned ram that I had earlier seen standing at the gate and, enraged, charged it viciously.
WEB
7I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled on him; and there was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
MSG
7I watched as, mad with rage, it charged the ram and hit it so hard that it broke off its two horns. The ram didn't stand a chance against it. The billy goat knocked the ram to the ground and stomped all over it. Nothing could have saved the ram from the goat.
WEB
8The male goat magnified himself exceedingly: and 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.
MSG
8"Then the billy goat swelled to an enormous size. At the height of its power its immense horn broke off and four other big horns sprouted in its place, pointing to the four points of the compass.
WEB
9Out of one of them came out a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
MSG
9And then from one of these big horns another horn sprouted. It started small, but then grew to an enormous size, facing south and east—toward lovely Palestine.
WEB
10It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and some of the army and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.
MSG
10The horn grew tall, reaching to the stars, the heavenly army, and threw some of the stars to the earth and stomped on them.
WEB
11Yes, 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.
MSG
11It even dared to challenge the power of God, Prince of the Celestial Army! And then it threw out daily worship and desecrated the Sanctuary.
WEB
12The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
MSG
12As judgment against their sin, the holy people of God got the same treatment as the daily worship. The horn cast God's Truth aside. High-handed, it took over everything and everyone.
WEB
13Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be 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?
MSG
13"Then I overheard two holy angels talking. One asked, 'How long is what we see here going to last—the abolishing of daily worship, this devastating judgment against sin, the kicking around of God's holy people and the Sanctuary?'
WEB
14He said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
MSG
14"The other answered, 'Over the course of 2,300 sacrifices, evening and morning. Then the Sanctuary will be set right again.'
WEB
15When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it; and behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
MSG
15"While I, Daniel, was trying to make sense of what I was seeing, suddenly there was a humanlike figure standing before me.
WEB
16I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
MSG
16"Then I heard a man's voice from over by the Ulai Canal calling out, 'Gabriel, tell this man what is going on. Explain the vision to him.'
WEB
17So 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.
MSG
17He came up to me, but when he got close I became terrified and fell facedown on the ground."He said, 'Understand that this vision has to do with the time of the end.'
WEB
18Now 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.
MSG
18As soon as he spoke, I fainted, my face in the dirt. But he picked me up and put me on my feet.
WEB
19He said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
MSG
19"And then he continued, 'I want to tell you what is going to happen as the judgment days of wrath wind down, for there is going to be an end to all this.
WEB
20The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
MSG
20" 'The double-horned ram you saw stands for the two kings of the Medes and Persians.
WEB
21The rough male goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
MSG
21The billy goat stands for the kingdom of the Greeks. The huge horn on its forehead is the first Greek king.
WEB
22As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
MSG
22The four horns that sprouted after it was broken off are the four kings that come after him, but without his power.
WEB
23In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
MSG
23" 'As their kingdoms cool downand rebellions heat up,A king will show up,hard-faced, a master trickster.
WEB
24His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper in what he does; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
MSG
24His power will swell enormously.He'll talk big, high-handedly,Doing whatever he pleases,knocking off heroes and holy ones left and right.
WEB
25Through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and he shall destroy many in their security. He shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
MSG
25He'll plot and scheme to make crime flourish—and oh, how it will flourish!He'll think he's invincibleand get rid of anyone who gets in his way.But when he takes on the Prince of all princes,he'll be smashed to bits—but not by human hands.
WEB
26The 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.
MSG
26This vision of the 2,300 sacrifices, evening and morning,is accurate but confidential.Keep it to yourself.It refers to the far future.'
WEB
27I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king’s business: and I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
MSG
27"I, Daniel, walked around in a daze, unwell for days. Then I got a grip on myself and went back to work taking care of the king's affairs. But I continued to be upset by the vision. I couldn't make sense of it.
