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 >.
