Daniel 8
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)

Visión del carnero y del macho cabrío

8 «En el tercer año del reinado de Belsasar, yo, Daniel, tuve otra visión. 2 En ella, me veía en la ciudadela de Susa, en la provincia de Elam, junto al río Ulay. 3 Me fijé, y vi ante mí un carnero con sus dos cuernos. Estaba junto al río, y tenía cuernos largos. Uno de ellos era más largo, y le había salido después.

4 »Me quedé observando cómo el carnero atacaba hacia el oeste, hacia el norte y hacia el sur. Ningún animal podía hacerle frente, ni había tampoco quien pudiera librarse de su poder. El carnero hacía lo que quería, y cada vez cobraba más fuerza.

5 »Mientras reflexionaba yo al respecto, de pronto surgió del oeste un macho cabrío, con un cuerno enorme entre los ojos, y cruzó toda la tierra sin tocar siquiera el suelo. 6 Se lanzó contra el carnero que yo había visto junto al río, y lo atacó furiosamente. 7 Yo vi cómo lo golpeó y le rompió los dos cuernos. El carnero no pudo hacerle frente, pues el macho cabrío lo derribó y lo pisoteó. Nadie pudo librar al carnero del poder del macho cabrío.

8 »El macho cabrío cobró gran fuerza, pero en el momento de su mayor grandeza se le rompió el cuerno más largo, y en su lugar brotaron cuatro grandes cuernos que se alzaron contra los cuatro vientos del cielo. 9 De uno de ellos salió otro cuerno, pequeño al principio, que extendió su poder hacia el sur y hacia el este, y también hacia nuestra hermosa tierra. 10 Creció hasta alcanzar al ejército de los cielos, derribó algunas estrellas y las pisoteó, 11 y aun llegó a sentirse más importante que el jefe del ejército de los cielos. Por causa de él se eliminó el sacrificio diario y se profanó el santuario. 12 Por la rebeldía de nuestro pueblo, su ejército echó por tierra la verdad y quitó el sacrificio diario. En fin, ese cuerno hizo y deshizo.

13 »Escuché entonces que uno de los santos hablaba, y que otro le preguntaba: “¿Cuánto más va a durar esta visión del sacrificio diario, de la rebeldía desoladora, de la entrega del santuario y de la humillación del ejército?” 14 Y aquel santo me dijo: “Va a tardar dos mil trescientos días con sus noches. Después de eso, se purificará el santuario”.

Significado de la visión

15 »Mientras yo, Daniel, contemplaba la visión y trataba de entenderla, de repente apareció ante mí alguien de apariencia humana. 16 Escuché entonces una voz que desde el río Ulay gritaba: “¡Gabriel, dile a este hombre lo que significa la visión!”

17 »Cuando Gabriel se acercó al lugar donde yo estaba, me sentí aterrorizado y caí de rodillas. Pero él me dijo: “Ten en cuenta, criatura humana,[a] que la visión tiene que ver con la hora final”.

18 »Mientras Gabriel me hablaba, yo caí en un sueño profundo, de cara al suelo. Pero él me despertó y me obligó a levantarme, 19 mientras me decía: “Voy a darte a conocer lo que sucederá cuando llegue a su fin el tiempo de la ira de Dios, porque el fin llegará en el momento señalado. 20 El carnero de dos cuernos que has visto simboliza a los reyes de Media y de Persia. 21 El macho cabrío es el rey de Grecia, y el cuerno grande que tiene entre los ojos es el primer rey. 22 Los cuatro cuernos que salieron en lugar del que fue hecho pedazos simbolizan a los cuatro reinos que surgirán de esa nación, pero que no tendrán el mismo poder.

23 »”Hacia el final de esos reinos, cuando los rebeldes lleguen al colmo de su maldad, surgirá un rey insolente, maestro de la intriga, 24 que llegará a tener mucho poder, pero no por sí mismo. Ese rey causará impresionantes destrozos y saldrá airoso en todo lo que emprenda. Destruirá a los poderosos y al pueblo santo. 25 Con su astucia propagará el engaño, creyéndose un ser superior. Destruirá a mucha gente que creía estar segura, y se enfrentará al Príncipe de los príncipes, pero será destruido sin intervención humana. 26 Esta visión de los días con sus noches, que se te ha dado a conocer, es verdadera. Pero no la hagas pública, pues para eso falta mucho tiempo”.

27 »Yo, Daniel, quedé exhausto, y durante varios días guardé cama. Luego me levanté para seguir atendiendo los asuntos del reino. Pero la visión me dejó pasmado, pues no lograba comprenderla».

The Vision of a Small Horn that Oppresses Israel and Threatens the Temple

8 In the third year of the kingdom of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me, Daniel,[a] after the one that appeared to me previously.[b] 2 And I saw in the vision, and when I saw,[c] I was in Susa, the citadel that was in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I myself[d] was at the stream of Ulai.[e] 3 And I lifted up my eyes and I saw, and look! A ram[f] standing before[g] the stream, and it had[h] two horns, and the horns were long, but the one was longer than the second, and the longer one came up after the other one.[i] 4 I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward, and none of the beasts stood before it,[j] and there was no rescuing from its power,[k] and it did what it wanted[l] and it became strong.[m]

5 And I was considering this, and look, a he-goat coming from the west across the face of the whole earth, and it was not touching the ground;[n] and the he-goat had a conspicuous horn[o] between its eyes. 6 Then it came toward the ram that had the two horns[p] that I saw standing before[q] the stream, and it ran at it with[r] the rage of its power. 7 And I saw it approaching the ram and it was furious at it, and it struck the ram, and it broke its two horns, and there was not strength in the ram to stand before him,[s] and he threw it down to the ground and trampled it, and there was no one who could rescue the ram[t] from its power. 8 And the he-goat grew exceedingly great,[u] and at the height of its power[v] the great horn was broken, and four conspicuous horns[w] came up in place of it toward the four winds of heaven.

9 And from one of them[x] came forth a horn, a little one,[y] and it grew exceedingly[z] toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land. 10 And it grew up to the host of heaven, and it threw down to the ground some of the host and some of the stars and trampled them. 11 Even against the prince of the hosts it acted arrogantly and took away from him the regular burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown. 12 And on account of transgression, the host was given over to the horn in addition to the regular burnt offering. And it cast down truth to the ground, and it acted,[aa] and it had success.

13 And I heard a certain holy one speaking, and a certain other holy one said to the specific one who was speaking,[ab] “For how long[ac] is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, and the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and the host to trampling?” 14 And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings, then the sanctuary will be restored.”

Gabriel Gives Angelic Help and Interprets the Vision

15 And then[ad] when I, Daniel, saw the vision, and I was seeking understanding, there was one standing before me with the appearance of a man. 16 And I heard the voice of a human at the Ulai, and he called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” 17 And he came beside where I was standing,[ae] and when he came[af] I became terrified and I fell prostrate on my face. And he said to me, “Understand, son of man,[ag] that the vision is for the time of the end.”

18 And when he spoke[ah] with me I fell into a trance with my face to the ground, and he touched me and made me stand on by feet. 19 And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what will happen in the period of wrath,[ai] for it refers to the appointed time of the end.

20 “The ram that you saw who had two horns[aj] represents the kings of Media and Persia.

21 “And the hairy he-goat is the kingdom[ak] of Greece, and the great horn that is between his eyes—he is the first king. 22 And the horn that was broken, and then there arose four horns in place of it—these are four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, but not with his power. 23 And at the end of their kingdom, when the transgressions are completed, a king will arise, fierce in countenance and skilled in riddles. 24 And his power will grow, but not by his own power, and he will cause fearful destruction, and he will succeed and he will act,[al] and he will destroy the mighty and the people of the holy ones.[am] 25 And by his planning[an] he will make a success of deceit by[ao] his hand, and in his mind[ap] he will boast,[aq] and in their ease he will destroy many, and even against the prince of princes he will rise up, and he will be broken, but not by human hands. 26 And the vision of the evening and the morning that has been described,[ar] it is true; and you, seal up the vision, for it refers to many days to come.”[as]

27 And I, Daniel, was overcome, and I became ill for some days, and I performed[at] the business of the king, and I was dismayed over the vision and I did not understand it.[au]
