8.1 to 8.11

Ἐν ἔτει τρίτῳ τῆς βασιλείας Βαλτασὰρ τοῦ βασιλέως ὄρασις ὥφθη πρὸς μέ, ἐγὼ Δανιὴλ, μετὰ τὴν ὀφθεῖσάν μοι τὴν ἀρχήν. καὶ ἥμην ἐν Σούσοις τῇ βάρει ἥ ἐστιν ἐν χώρᾳ Αἰλάμ, καὶ ἥμην ἐπὶ τοῦ Οὐβάλ. καὶ ἦρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ κριὸς εἷς ἑστηκὼς πρὸ τοῦ Οὐβάλ, καὶ αὐτῷ κέρατα ὑψηλά· καὶ τὸ ἐν ὑψηλότερον τοῦ ἑτέρου, καὶ τὸ ὑψηλὸν ἀνέβαινεν ἐπʼ ἐσχάτῳ. ἴδον τὸν κριὸν κερατίζοντα κατὰ θάλασσαν καὶ βορρᾶ καὶ νότον· καὶ πάντα τὰ θηρία οὐ στήσονται ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐποίησεν κατὰ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ καὶ μεγαλύνθη. καὶ ἐγὼ ἤμην συνίων, καὶ ἰδοὺ τράγος αἰγῶν ἤρχετο ἀπὸ λιβὸς ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἁπτόμενος τῆς γῆς, καὶ τῷ τράγῳ κέρας μέσον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως τοῦ κριοῦ τοῦ τὰ κέρατα ἔχοντος, οὖ δον ἑστὼς ἐνώπιον τοῦ Οὐβάλ, καὶ ἔδραμεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν ὁρμῇ τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἴδον αὐτὸν φθάνοντα ἕως τοῦ κριοῦ, καὶ ἐξηγριανθη πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ ἔπαισεν τὸν κριὸν καὶ συνέτριψεν ἀμφότερα τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἣν ἰσχὺς τῷ κριῷ τοῦ στῆναι ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔριψεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ συνεπάτησεν αὐτόν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος τὸν κριὸν ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ. καὶ ὁ τράγος τῶν αἰγῶν ἐμεγαλύνθη ἕως σφόδρα· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἰσχῦσαι αὐτὸν συνετρίβη τὸ κέρας αὐτοῦ τὸ μέγα, καὶ ἀνέβη κέρατα τέσσερα ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς τέσσαρες ἀνέμους τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς αὐτῶν ἐξῆλθεν κέρας ἕν ἰσχυρόν, καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη περισσῶς πρὸς τὸν νότον καὶ πρὸς τὴν δύναμιν· ἐμεγαλύνθη ἕως τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἄστρων, καὶ συνεπάτησαν αὐτά, καὶ ἕως ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος ῥύσηται τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν, καὶ δι᾿ αὐτὸν θυσία ἐράχθη, καὶ κατευοδώθη αὐτῷ· καὶ τὸ ἅγιον ἐρημωθήσεται.
