Daniel 7
1. In the first <2298 chad > year <8140 sh@nah > of Belshazzar
<1113
Belsha>tstsar > king <4430 melek > of Babylon <0895 Babel >
Daniel <1841
Daniye>l > had <2370 chaza> > a dream <2493 chelem > and visions
<2376 chezev
> of his head <7217 re>sh > upon his bed <4903 mishkab >: then
<0116 >edayin
> he wrote <3790 k@thab > the dream <2493 chelem >, [and] told
<0560 >amar >
the sum <7217 re>sh > of the matters <4406 millah >.
2 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560
>amar >, I saw
<2370 chaza> > in my vision <2376 chezev > by night <3916
leyl@ya> >, and,
behold <0718 >aruw >, the four <0703 >arba< > winds <7308 ruwach
> of the
heaven <8065 shamayin > strove <1519 giyach > upon the great
<7227 rab > sea
<3221 yam >.
3 And four <0703 >arba< > great <7260 rabrab > beasts <2423
cheyva> > came
<5559 c@liq > up from the sea <3221 yam >, diverse <8133 sh@na>
> one <1668
da> > from another <1668 da> >.
4 The first <6933 qadmay > [was] like a lion <0738 >ariy >, and
had eagle's
<5403 n@shar > wings <1611 gaph >: I beheld till <5704 <ad > the
wings <1611
gaph > thereof were plucked <4804 m@rat >, and it was lifted
<5191 n@tal > up
from the earth <0772 >ara< >, and made stand <6966 quwm > upon
the feet <7271
r@gal > as a man <0606 >enash >, and a man's <0606 >enash >
heart <3825 l@bab
> was given <3052 y@hab > to it.
5 And behold <0718 >aruw > another <0317 >ochoriy > beast <2423
cheyva> >, a
second <8578 tinyan >, like <1821 d@mah > to a bear <1678 dob >,
and it
raised <6966 quwm > up itself on one <2298 chad > side <7859
sh@tar >, and
[it had] three <8532 t@lath > ribs <6763 tsela< > in the mouth
<6433 pum > of
it between <0997 beyn > the teeth <8128 shen > of it: and they
said <0560
>amar > thus <3652 ken > unto it, Arise <6965 quwm >, devour
<0399 >akal >
much <7690 saggiy> > flesh <1321 b@sar >.
6 After <0870 >athar > this <1836 den > I beheld, and lo <0718
>aruw >
another <0317 >ochoriy >, like a leopard <5245 n@mar >, which
<1768 diy > had
upon the back <1355 gab > of it four <0703 >arba< > wings <1611
gaph > of a
fowl <5776 <owph >; the beast <2423 cheyva> > had also four
<0703 >arba< >
heads <7217 re>sh >; and dominion <7985 sholtan > was given
<3052 y@hab > to
it.
7 After <0870 >athar > this <1836 den > I saw <2370 chaza> > in
the night
<3916 leyl@ya> > visions <2376 chezev >, and behold <0718 >aruw
> a fourth
<7244 r@biy<ay > beast <2423 cheyva> >, dreadful <1763 d@chal >
and terrible
<0574 >emtaniy >, and strong <8624 taqqiyph > exceedingly <3493
yattiyr >;
and it had great <7260 rabrab > iron <6523 parzel > teeth <8128
shen >: it
devoured <0399 >akal > and brake <1855 d@qaq > in pieces, and
stamped <7512
r@phac > the residue <7606 sh@>ar > with the feet <7271 r@gal >
of it: and it
[was] diverse <8133 sh@na> > from all <3606 kol > the beasts
<2423 cheyva> >
that [were] before <6925 qodam > it; and it had ten <6236 <asar
> horns <7162
qeren >.
8 I considered <7920 s@kal > the horns <7162 qeren >, and,
behold <0431
>aluw >, there came <5559 c@liq > up among <0997 beyn > them
another <0317
>ochoriy > little <2192 z@<eyr > horn <7162 qeren >, before
<6925 qodam >
whom there were three <8532 t@lath > of the first <6933 qadmay >
horns <7162
qeren > plucked <6132 <aqar > up by the roots <6132 <aqar >: and,
behold
<0431 >aluw >, in this <1668 da> > horn <7162 qeren > [were]
eyes <5870 <ayin
> like the eyes <5870 <ayin > of man <0606 >enash >, and a mouth
<6433 pum >
speaking <4449 m@lal > great <7260 rabrab > things.
9. I beheld till <5704 <ad > the thrones <3764 korce> > were
cast <7412
r@mah > down, and the Ancient <6268 <attiyq > of days <3118 yowm
> did sit
<3488 y@thiyb >, whose garment <3831 l@buwsh > [was] white as
snow <8517
t@lag >, and the hair <8177 s@<ar > of his head <7217 re>sh >
like the pure
<5343 n@qe> > wool <6015 <amar >: his throne <3764 korce> > [was
like] the
fiery <5135 nuwr > flame <7631 s@biyb >, [and] his wheels <1535
galgal > [as]
burning <1815 d@laq > fire <5135 nuwr >.
10 A fiery <5135 nuwr > stream <5103 n@har > issued <5047 n@gad
> and came
<5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > from before <6925 qodam >
him: thousand
<0506 >alaph > thousands <0506 >alaph > ministered <8120 sh@mash
> unto him,
and ten <7240 ribbow > thousand <7240 ribbow > times ten <7240
ribbow >
thousand <7240 ribbow > stood <6966 quwm > before <6925 qodam >
him: the
judgment <1780 diyn > was set <3488 y@thiyb >, and the books
<5609 c@phar >
were opened <6606 p@thach >.
11 I beheld then <0116 >edayin > because <4481 min > of the
voice <7032 qal
> of the great <7260 rabrab > words <4406 millah > which <1768
diy > the horn
<7162 qeren > spake <4449 m@lal >: I beheld [even <5705 <ad >]
till <5704 <ad
> the beast <2423 cheyva> > was slain <6992 q@tal >, and his
body <1655
geshem > destroyed <7>, and given <3052 y@hab > to the burning
<3346 y@qeda>
> flame <0785 >esh >.
12 As concerning the rest <7606 sh@>ar > of the beasts <2423
cheyva> >, they
had their dominion <7985 sholtan > taken <5709 <ada> > away
<5709 <ada> >:
yet their lives <2417 chay > were prolonged for a season <2166
z@man > and
time <5732 <iddan >.
13 I saw <2370 chaza> > in the night <6916 qiddah > visions
<2376 chezev >,
and, behold <0718 >aruw >, [one] like the Son <1247 bar > of man
<0606 >enash
> came with the clouds <6050 <anan > of heaven <8065 shamayin >,
and came
<4291 m@ta> > to the Ancient <6268 <attiyq > of days <3118 yowm
>, and they
brought <7127 q@reb > him near <7127 q@reb > before <6925 qodam
> him.
14 And there was given <3052 y@hab > him dominion <7985 sholtan
>, and glory
<3367 y@qar >, and a kingdom <4437 malkuw >, that all <3606 kol
> people
<5972 <am >, nations <0524 >ummah >, and languages <3961
lishshan >, should
serve <6399 p@lach > him: his dominion <7985 sholtan > [is] an
everlasting
<5957 <alam > dominion <7985 sholtan >, which <1768 diy > shall
not pass
<5709 <ada> > away <5709 <ada> >, and his kingdom <4437 malkuw >
[that] which
<1768 diy > shall not be destroyed <2255 chabal >.
15. I Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > was grieved <3735 Kara> > in my
spirit <7308
ruwach > in the midst <1459 gav > of [my] body <5085 nidneh >,
and the
visions <2376 chezev > of my head <7217 re>sh > troubled <0927
b@hal > me.
16 I came <7127 q@reb > near <7127 q@reb > unto one <2298 chad
> of them
that stood <6966 quwm > by, and asked <1156 b@<a> > him the
truth <3330
yatstsiyb > of all <3606 kol > this <1836 den >. So he told
<0560 >amar > me,
and made me know <3046 y@da< > the interpretation <6591 p@shar >
of the
things <4406 millah >.
17 These <0459 >illeyn > great <7260 rabrab > beasts <2423
cheyva> >, which
<1768 diy > are four <0703 >arba< >, [are] four <0703 >arba< >
kings <4430
melek >, [which] shall arise <6965 quwm > out of the earth <0772
>ara< >.
18 But the saints <6922 qaddiysh > of the most <5946 <elyown >
High <5946
<elyown > shall take <6902 q@bal > the kingdom <4437 malkuw >,
and possess
<2631 chacan > the kingdom <4437 malkuw > for ever <5957 <alam >,
even <5705
<ad > for ever <5957 <alam > and ever <5957 <alam >.
19 Then <0116 >edayin > I would <6634 ts@ba> > know <3046 y@da<
> the truth
<3321 y@tseb > of the fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > beast <2423
cheyva> >, which
<1768 diy > was diverse <8133 sh@na> > from all <3606 kol > the
others,
exceeding <3493 yattiyr > dreadful <1763 d@chal >, whose <1768
diy > teeth
<8128 shen > [were of] iron <6523 parzel >, and his nails <2953
t@phar > [of]
brass <5174 n@chash >; [which] devoured <0399 >akal >, brake
<1855 d@qaq > in
pieces, and stamped <7512 r@phac > the residue <7606 sh@>ar >
with his feet
<7271 r@gal >;
20 And of the ten <6236 <asar > horns <7162 qeren > that [were]
in his head
<7217 re>sh >, and [of] the other <0317 >ochoriy > which <1768
diy > came
<5559 c@liq > up, and before whom <4479 man > three <8532 t@lath
> fell <5308
n@phal >; even [of] that horn <7162 qeren > that had eyes <5870
<ayin >, and
a mouth <6433 pum > that spake <4449 m@lal > very <7260 rabrab >
great <7260
rabrab > things, whose look <2376 chezev > [was] more <5750 <owd
> stout
<7229 rab > than <4481 min > his fellows <2273 chabrah >.
21 I beheld, and the same <1797 dikken > horn <7162 qeren >
made <5648 <abad
> war <7129 q@rab > with the saints <6922 qaddiysh >, and
prevailed <3202
y@kel > against them;
22 Until <5704 <ad > the Ancient <6268 <attiyq > of days <3118
yowm > came
<0858 >athah >, and judgment <1780 diyn > was given <3052 y@hab
> to the
saints <6922 qaddiysh > of the most <5946 <elyown > High <5946
<elyown >; and
the time <2166 z@man > came <4291 m@ta> > that the saints <6922
qaddiysh >
possessed <2631 chacan > the kingdom <4437 malkuw >.
23 Thus <3652 ken > he said <0560 >amar >, The fourth <7244
r@biy<ay > beast
<2423 cheyva> > shall be the fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > kingdom
<4437 malkuw >
upon earth <0772 >ara< >, which <1768 diy > shall be diverse
<8133 sh@na> >
from all <3606 kol > kingdoms <4437 malkuw >, and shall devour
<0399 >akal >
the whole <3606 kol > earth <0772 >ara< >, and shall tread <1759
duwsh > it
down, and break <1854 daqaq > it in pieces.
24 And the ten <6236 <asar > horns <7162 qeren > out of this
kingdom <4437
malkuw > [are] ten <6236 <asar > kings <4430 melek > [that]
shall arise <6965
quwm >: and another <0312 >acher > shall rise <6966 quwm > after
<0311 >achar
> them; and he shall be diverse <8133 sh@na> > from the first
<6933 qadmay >,
and he shall subdue <8214 sh@phal > three <8532 t@lath > kings
<4430 melek >.
25 And he shall speak <4449 m@lal > [great] words <4406 millah
> against
<6655 tsad > the most <5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay >, and
shall wear
<1080 b@la> > out the saints <6922 qaddiysh > of the most <5946
<elyown >
High <5946 <elyown >, and think <5452 c@bar > to change <8133
sh@na> > times
<2166 z@man > and laws <1882 dath >: and they shall be given
<3052 y@hab >
into his hand <3028 yad > until <5704 <ad > a time <5732 <iddan
> and times
<5732 <iddan > and the dividing <6387 p@lag > of time <5732
<iddan >.
26 But the judgment <1780 diyn > shall sit <3488 y@thiyb >, and
they shall
take <5709 <ada> > away <5709 <ada> > his dominion <7985 sholtan
>, to
consume <8046 sh@mad > and to destroy <7> [it] unto the end
<5491 cowph >.
27 And the kingdom <4437 malkuw > and dominion <7985 sholtan >,
and the
greatness <7238 r@buw > of the kingdom <4437 malkuw > under
<8460 t@chowth >
the whole <3606 kol > heaven <8065 shamayin >, shall be given
<3052 y@hab >
to the people <5972 <am > of the saints <6922 qaddiysh > of the
most <5945
>elyown > High <5946 <elyown >, whose kingdom <4437 malkuw >
[is] an
everlasting <5957 <alam > kingdom <4437 malkuw >, and all <3606
kol >
dominions <7985 sholtan > shall serve <6399 p@lach > and obey
<8086 sh@ma< >
him.
28 Hitherto [is] the end <5491 cowph > of the matter <4406
millah >. As for
me Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >, my cogitations <7476 ra<yown > much
<7690 saggiy>
> troubled <0927 b@hal > me, and my countenance <2122 ziyv >
changed <8133
sh@na> > in me: but I kept <5202 n@tar > the matter <4406 millah
> in my
heart <3821 leb >.
