| 1 | La troisième année du règne du roi Belshatsar, moi, Daniel, j'eus une vision, outre celle que j'avais eue auparavant. | In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me, Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. |
| 2 | J'eus une vision, et il arriva, comme je regardais, que j'étais à Suse, la capitale, dans la province d'Élam, et dans ma vision, je me trouvais près du fleuve Ulaï. | And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai. |
| 3 | Je levai les yeux, je regardai, et voici, un bélier se tenait devant le fleuve; et il avait deux cornes, et ces deux cornes étaient hautes, mais l'une était plus haute que l'autre, et la plus haute s'éleva la dernière. | Then I lifted up mine 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. |
| 4 | Et je vis le bélier qui frappait de ses cornes vers l'occident, vers le nord et vers le midi; et aucune bête ne pouvait subsister devant lui, et il n'y avait personne qui délivrât de sa puissance; mais il faisait tout ce qu'il voulait, et il devint grand. | I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself. |
| 5 | Et comme je regardais attentivement, voici, un bouc venait de l'occident, parcourant toute la terre sans toucher le sol; ce bouc avait une corne considérable entre les yeux. | And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. |
| 6 | Il vint jusqu'au bélier qui avait les deux cornes, et que j'avais vu se tenant devant le fleuve; et il courut contre lui dans la fureur de sa force. | And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power. |
| 7 | Et je le vis atteindre le bélier; et, s'irritant contre lui, il le heurta et brisa ses deux cornes; et le bélier n'avait pas la force de lui résister; il le jeta à terre et le foula aux pieds, et il n'y eut personne qui délivrât le bélier de sa puissance. | And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and brake 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 upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. |
| 8 | Et le bouc grandit extrêmement; mais quand il fut puissant, sa grande corne se brisa, et à sa place, il en surgit quatre considérables, vers les quatre vents des cieux. | And the he-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 heaven. |
| 9 | Et de l'une d'elles surgit une petite corne qui s'agrandit beaucoup vers le midi, et vers l'orient, et vers le pays de gloire. | And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious [land]. |
| 10 | Et elle grandit jusqu'à l'armée des cieux, et elle fit tomber à terre une partie de l'armée des étoiles, et les foula aux pieds. | And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them. |
| 11 | Elle s'éleva même jusqu'au chef de l'armée, lui enleva le sacrifice continuel et abattit la demeure de son sanctuaire. | Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual [burnt-offering], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. |
| 12 | Et l'armée fut livrée avec le sacrifice continuel, à cause du péché, et la corne jeta la vérité par terre, et elle agit et prospéra. | And the host was given over [to it] together with the continual [burnt-offering] through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did [its pleasure] and prospered. |
| 13 | Et j'entendis parler un saint, et un autre saint dit à celui qui parlait: Jusqu'à quand durera la vision du sacrifice continuel et du péché qui cause la désolation, qui livre le sanctuaire et l'armée pour être foulés aux pieds? | Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the vision [concerning] the continual [burnt-offering], and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? |
| 14 | Et il me dit: Jusqu'à deux mille trois cents soirs et matins; puis le sanctuaire sera purifié. | And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. |
| 15 | Pendant que moi, Daniel, je regardais la vision et que je cherchais à la comprendre, voici, quelqu'un qui avait l'apparence d'un homme se tint devant moi. | And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. |
| 16 | Et j'entendis la voix d'un homme au milieu du fleuve Ulaï; il cria et dit: Gabriel, explique-lui la vision. | And I heard a man`s voice between [the banks of] the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. |
| 17 | Et il vint près du lieu où je me tenais, et, à sa venue, je fus épouvanté et je tombai sur ma face, et il me dit: Comprends, fils de l'homme, car la vision est pour le temps de la fin. | So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was affrighted, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end. |
| 18 | Et comme il me parlait, je m'assoupis la face contre terre; mais il me toucha et me fit tenir debout à la place où j'étais. | 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 | Et il dit: Voici, je vais t'apprendre ce qui arrivera au dernier temps de la colère, car il y a un temps marqué pour la fin. | And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end. |
| 20 | Le bélier que tu as vu, qui avait deux cornes, ce sont les rois des Mèdes et des Perses; | The ram which thou sawest, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. |
| 21 | Et le bouc velu, c'est le roi de Javan; et la grande corne entre ses yeux, c'est le premier roi. | And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. |
| 22 | Et cette corne s'étant brisée, les quatre cornes qui se sont élevées à sa place sont quatre rois qui s'élèveront de cette nation, mais ils n'auront pas sa force. | And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power. |
| 23 | Et à la fin de leur règne, quand les pécheurs auront comblé la mesure, il s'élèvera un roi au visage audacieux et entendu dans l'artifice. | And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. |
| 24 | Sa puissance s'accroîtra, mais non pas par sa propre force. Il fera des ravages extraordinaires; il réussira dans ses entreprises, il détruira les puissants et le peuple des saints. | And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do [his pleasure]; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people. |
| 25 | Et par son habileté, il fera réussir la fraude dans sa main. Il s'enorgueillira dans son coeur, et à l'improviste il fera périr beaucoup de gens; il s'élèvera contre le Prince des princes; mais il sera brisé sans le secours d'aucune main. | And through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in [their] security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. |
| 26 | La vision des soirs et des matins, qui a été dite, est véritable. Mais toi, scelle la vision, car elle se rapporte à un temps éloigné. | And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true: but shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days [to come]. |
| 27 | Et moi, Daniel, je tombai en défaillance et fus malade pendant quelques jours; puis je me levai et fis les affaires du roi. J'étais étonné de la vision, mais personne ne la comprit. | And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king`s business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it. |
