NSB(i)
5 As I observed a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth. It did not touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 He approached the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing next to the river. He charged him with the full fury of his power.
7 I saw him come close to the ram. He was driven with anger and he struck the ram and broke his two horns. The ram had no power to stand before him. He threw him down to the ground, and trampled upon him. No one could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 The he-goat promoted (boasted about) himself exceedingly. 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 A little horn cam out of one of them. The little horn became very great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
10 It grew great, even to the host of heaven. It threw down to the ground some of the host and it trampled them.
11 It magnified itself, even to the prince of the host. It took the continual burnt offering from him and the place of his sanctuary was thrown down.
12 The host was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through transgression. It cast down truth to the ground, and whatever it wanted to do and prospered.
13 Then I heard a holy one speak and another holy one said to it: »How long will the vision be concerning the continual burnt-offering and the transgression that makes desolate to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?«
14 He said to me: »Two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.«
