Daniel 8

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me. After that which I had seen in the beginning, I, Daniel,	1 Εν τω τριτω ετει της βασιλειας του βασιλεως Βαλτασαρ ορασις εφανη εις εμε, εις εμε τον Δανιηλ, μετα την εις εμε φανεισαν προτερον.
2 saw in my vision, that I was in the capital city of Susa, which is in the region of Elam, yet I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.	2 Και ειδον εν τη ορασει? και οτε ειδον, ημην εν Σουσοις τη βασιλευουση τη εν τη επαρχια Ελαμ? και ειδον εν τη ορασει και εγω ημην πλησιον του ποταμου Ουλαι.
3 And I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a single ram stood before the marsh, having two high horns, and one was higher than the other and growing higher still.	3 Και εσηκωσα τους οφθαλμους μου και ειδον και ιδου, ιστατο εμπροσθεν του ποταμου κριος εις εχων κερατα? και τα κερατα ησαν υψηλα, το εν ομως υψηλοτερον του αλλου? και το υψηλοτερον εξεφυτρωσεν υστερον.
4 After this, I saw the ram brandishing his horns against the West, and against the North, and against the Meridian, and all the beasts could not withstand him, nor be freed from his hand, and he did according to his own will, and he became great.	4 Ειδον τον κριον κερατιζοντα προς δυσιν και προς βορραν και προς νοτον? και ουδεν θηριον ηδυνατο να σταθη εμπροσθεν αυτου και δεν υπηρχεν ο ελευθερων εκ της χειρος αυτου? αλλ' εκαμνε κατα την θελησιν αυτου και εμεγαλυνθη.
5 And I understood, and behold, a he-goat among she-goats came from the West above the face of the entire earth, and he did not touch the ground. Furthermore, the he-goat had a preeminent horn between his eyes.	5 Ενω δε εγω εσκεπτομην, ιδου, τραγος ηρχετο απο της δυσεως επι προσωπον πασης της γης και δεν ηγγιζε το εδαφος? και ο τραγος ειχε κερας περιβλεπτον μεταξυ των οφθαλμων αυτου.
6 And he went all the way to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength.	6 Και ηλθεν εως του κριου του εχοντος τα δυο κερατα, τον οποιον ειδον ισταμενον εμπροσθεν του ποταμου, και εδραμε προς αυτον εν τη ορμη της δυναμεως αυτου.
7 And when he approached near to the ram, he was enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him, and when he had cast him down on the ground, he trampled him, and no one was able to free the ram from his hand.	7 Και ειδον αυτον οτι επλησιασεν εις τον κριον και εξηγριωθη κατ' αυτου και εκτυπησε τον κριον και συνετριψε τα δυο κερατα αυτου? και δεν ητο δυναμις εν τω κριω να σταθη εμπροσθεν αυτου, αλλ' ερριψεν αυτον κατα γης και κατεπατησεν αυτον? και δεν υπηρχεν ο ελευθερων τον κριον εκ της χειρος αυτου.
8 But the he-goat among she-goats became exceedingly great, and when he had prospered, the great horn was shattered, and four horns were rising up beneath it by means of the four winds of heaven.	8 Δια τουτο ο τραγος εμεγαλυνθη σφοδρα? και οτε ενεδυναμωθη, συνετριβη το κερας το μεγα? και αντ' αυτου ανεβησαν τεσσαρα αλλα περιβλεπτα προς τους τεσσαρας ανεμους του ουρανου.
9 But from one of them came forth one little horn, and it became great against the Meridian, and against the East, and against the strength.	9 Και εκ του ενος εξ αυτων εξηλθεν εν κερας μικρον, το οποιον εμεγαλυνθη καθ' υπερβολην προς τον νοτον και προς την ανατολην και προς την γην της δοξης?
10 And it was magnified even towards the strength of heaven, and it threw down those of the strength and of the stars, and it trampled them.	10 και εμεγαλυνθη εως του στρατευματος του ουρανου? και ερριψεν εις την γην μερος εκ της στρατιας και εκ των αστερων και κατεπατησεν αυτα?
11 And it was magnified, even to the leader of the strength, and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.	11 μαλιστα εμεγαλυνθη εως κατα του αρχοντος του στρατευματος? και αφηρεσεν απ' αυτου την παντοτεινην θυσιαν, και το αγιον κατοικητηριον αυτου κατεβληθη?
12 And the advantage was given to him against the continual sacrifice, because of the sins, and truth will be struck down to the ground, and he will act, and he will prosper.	12 και το στρατευμα παρεδοθη εις αυτον μετα της παντοτεινης θυσιας εξ αιτιας της παραβασεως, και ερριψε κατα γης την αληθειαν? και επραξε και ευωδωθη.
13 And I heard one of the holy ones speaking, and one saint said to another, (I know not to whom he was speaking,) “What is the extent of the vision, and the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation, which has happened, and of the sanctuary and the strength, which will be trampled?”	13 Τοτε ηκουσα αγιου τινος λαλουντος? και αλλος αγιος ελεγε προς τον δεινα λαλουντα, Εως ποτε θελει διαρκει ορασις η περι της παντοτεινης θυσιας και της παραβασεως, ητις φερει την ερημωσιν, και το αγιαστηριον και το στρατευμα παραδιδονται εις καταπατησιν;
14 And he said to him, “From evening until morning, two thousand three hundred days, and so the sanctuary will be cleansed.”	14 Και ειπε προς εμε, Εως δυο χιλιαδων και τριακοσιων ημερονυκτιων? τοτε το αγιαστηριον θελει καθαρισθη.
15 But it came to pass, when I, Daniel, saw the vision and sought understanding that, behold, there stood in my sight something like the appearance of a man.	15 Και οτε εγω ο Δανιηλ ειδον την ορασιν και εζητουν την εννοιαν, τοτε ιδου, εσταθη εμπροσθεν μου ως θεα ανθρωπου?
16 And I heard the voice of a man within Ulai, and he called out and said, “Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.”	16 και ηκουσα φωνην ανθρωπου εν μεσω του Ουλαι, ητις εκραξε και ειπε, Γαβριηλ, καμε τον ανθρωπον τουτον να εννοηση την ορασιν.
17 And he came and stood next to where I was standing, and when he approached, I fell on my face, trembling, and he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for in the time of the end the vision will be fulfilled.”	17 Και ηλθε πλησιον οπου ισταμην? και οτε ηλθεν, ετρομαξα και επεσον επι προσωπον μου? ο δε ειπε προς εμε, Εννοησον, υιε ανθρωπου? διοτι η ορασις ειναι δια τους εσχατους καιρους.
18 And when he spoke to me, I fell forward onto the ground, and so he touched me and stood me upright.	18 Και ενω ελαλει προς εμε, εγω ημην βεβυθισμενος εις βαθυν υπνον με το προσωπον μου επι την γην? πλην με ηγγισε και με εκαμε να σταθω ορθιος.
19 And he said to me, “I will reveal to you what the future things are in the earlier tribulation, for the time has its end.	19 Και ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω θελω σε καμει να γνωρισης τι θελει συμβη εν τοις εσχατοις της οργης? διοτι εν τω ωρισμενω καιρω θελει εισθαι το τελος.
20 The ram, which you saw to have horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.	20 Ο κριος, τον οποιον ειδες, ο εχων τα δυο κερατα, ειναι οι βασιλεις της Μηδιας και της Περσιας.
21 Furthermore, the he-goat among she-goats is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn, which was between his eyes, is the same one, the first king.	21 Και ο τριχωτος τραγος ειναι ο βασιλευς της Ελλαδος? και το κερας το μεγα, το μεταξυ των οφθαλμων αυτου, αυτος ειναι ο πρωτος βασιλευς.
22 And since, having been shattered, there grew four in its place, four kings will rise up from his people, but not in his strength.	22 Το δε οτι συνετριβη και ανεβησαν τεσσαρα αντ' αυτου, δηλοι οτι τεσσαρα βασιλεια θελουσιν εγερθη εκ του εθνους τουτου? πλην ουχι κατα την δυναμιν αυτου.
23 And after their reign, when iniquities will be increased, there will arise a king of shameless face and understanding negotiations.	23 Και εν τοις εσχατοις καιροις της βασιλειας αυτων, οταν αι ανομιαι φθασωσιν εις το πληρες, θελει εγερθη βασιλευς σκληροπροσωπος και συνετος εις πανουργιας.
24 And his advantage will be strengthened, but not by his kind of force, and other than what he will be able to trust, everything will be eradicated, and he will prosper, and he will act. And he will execute the successful and the people of the saints,	24 Και η δυναμις αυτου θελει εισθαι ισχυρα, ουχι ομως εξ ιδιας αυτου δυναμεως? και θελει αφανιζει εξαισιως και θελει ευοδουσθαι και κατορθονει και θελει αφανιζει τους ισχυρους και τον λαον τον αγιον.
25 according to his will, and treachery will be guided by his hand. And his heart will be inflated, and by the abundance of everything he will kill many, and he will rise up against the Lord of lords, and he will be knocked down without a hand.	25 Και δια της πανουργιας αυτου θελει καμει να ευοδουται η απατη εν τη χειρι αυτου? και θελει μεγαλυνθη εν τη καρδια αυτου και εν ειρηνη θελει αφανισει πολλους? και θελει σηκωθη κατα του Αρχοντος των αρχοντων? πλην θελει συντριφθη ανευ χειρος.
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true. Therefore, you must seal the vision, because, after many days, it will occur.”	26 Και η ρηθεισα ορασις περι των ημερονυκτιων ειναι αληθης? συ λοιπον σφραγισον την ορασιν, διοτι ειναι δια ημερας πολλας.
27 And I, Daniel, languished and was sick for some days, and when I had lifted myself up, I performed the king’s works, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none who could interpret it.	27 Και εγω ο Δανιηλ ελιποθυμησα και ημην ασθενης ημερας τινας? μετα ταυτα εσηκωθην και εκαμνον τα εργα του βασιλεως? εθαυμαζον δε δια την ορασιν και δεν υπηρχεν ο εννοων.
