دانيال 7
| فِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِحُكْمِ بَيلْشَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ رَأَى دَانِيَالُ حُلْماً وَرُؤىً، مَرَّتْ بِرَأْسِهِ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ فِي فِرَاشِهِ، فَدَوَّنَ الْحُلْمَ وَحَدَّثَ بِخُلاصَةِ الرُّؤْيَا. | ١ 1 |
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylonia, Daniel had a dream and visions in his mind while lying on his bed. Then he wrote down what he had seen in the dream. He wrote down the most important events:
| قَالَ دَانِيَالُ: شَاهَدْتُ فِي رُؤْيَايَ لَيْلاً، وَإذَا بِأَرْبَعِ رِيَاحِ السَّمَاءِ قَدْ هَجَمَتْ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ الْكَبِيرِ، | ٢ 2 |
Daniel explained, “In my vision at night I saw that the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.
| وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ صَعِدَ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ أَرْبعَةُ حَيَوَانَاتٍ عَظِيمَةٍ يَخْتَلِفُ بَعْضُهَا عَنْ بَعْضٍ. | ٣ 3 |
Four large animals, each one different from the other, came up out of the sea.
| فَكَانَ الأَوَّلُ كَالأَسَدِ بِجَنَاحَيْنِ كَجَنَاحَيِ النَّسْرِ. وَبَقِيتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى اقْتُلِعَ جَنَاحَاهُ، وَانْتَصَبَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَاقِفاً عَلَى رِجْلَيْنِ كَإِنْسَانٍ، وَأُعْطِيَ عَقْلَ إِنْسَانٍ. | ٤ 4 |
The first was like a lion but had eagle's wings. As I was looking, its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground and made to stand on two feet, like a man. The mind of a man was given to it.
| وَرَأَيْتُ حَيَوَاناً آخَرَ شَبِيهاً بِالدُّبِّ، قَائِماً عَلَى جَنْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَفِي فَمِهِ بَيْنَ أَسْنَانِهِ ثَلاثُ أَضْلُعٍ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: انْهَضْ وَكُلْ لَحْماً كَثِيراً. | ٥ 5 |
Then there was a second animal, like a bear, and it was bending over; it had three ribs between its teeth in its mouth. It was told, 'Get up and devour many people.'
| ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ بَعْدَ هَذَا حَيَوَاناً آخَرَ مِثْلَ النَّمِرِ، لَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ كَأَجْنِحَةِ الطَّائِرِ، وَكَانَ لِهَذَا الْحَيَوَانِ أَرْبَعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ، وَفُوِّضَتْ إِلَيْهِ سُلْطَاتٌ. | ٦ 6 |
After this I looked again. There was another animal, one that looked like a leopard. On its back it had four wings like bird wings, and it had four heads. It was given authority to rule.
| وَشَهِدْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي رُؤَى اللَّيْلِ وَإذَا بِحَيَوَانٍ رَابِعٍ هَائِلٍ وَقَوِيٍّ وَشَدِيدٍ جِدّاً، ذِي أَسْنَانٍ ضَخْمَةٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، افْتَرَسَ وَسَحَقَ وَدَاسَ مَا تَبَقَّى بِرِجْلَيْهِ. وَكَانَ يَخْتَلِفُ عَنْ سَائِرِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ وَلَهُ عَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ. | ٧ 7 |
After this I saw in the visions of the night a fourth animal, terrifying, frightening, and very strong. It had large iron teeth; it devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled underfoot what was left. It was different from the other animals, and it had ten horns.
| وَفِيمَا كُنْتُ أَتَأَمَّلُ الْقُرُونَ إِذَا بِقَرْنٍ آخَرَ صَغِيرٍ نَبَتَ بَيْنَهَا، وَاقْتُلِعَتْ ثَلاثَةُ قُرُونٍ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ، وَكَانَ فِي هَذَا الْقَرْنِ عُيُونٌ كَعُيُونِ الإِنْسَانِ وَفَمٌ يَنْطِقُ بِعَظَائِمَ. | ٨ 8 |
While I was considering the horns, I looked and saw another horn grow up among them, a little horn. Three of the first horns were wrenched out by the roots. I saw in this horn eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth that was boasting about great things.
| وَفِيمَا كُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ، نُصِبَتْ عُرُوشٌ وَاعْتَلَى الأَزَلِيُّ كُرْسِيَّهُ وَكَانَتْ ثِيَابُهُ بَيْضَاءَ كَالثَّلْجِ، وَشَعْرُ رَأْسِهِ كَالصُّوفِ النَّقِيِّ، وَعَرْشُهُ لَهِيباً مُتَوَهِّجاً وَعَجَلاتُهُ نَاراً مُتَّقِدَةً. | ٩ 9 |
As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow, and the hair of his head was like pure wool. His throne was flames of fire, and its wheels were burning fire.
| وَمِنْ أَمَامِهِ يَتَدَفَّقُ وَيَجْرِي نَهْرٌ مِنْ نَارٍ، وَتَخْدُمُهُ أُلُوفُ أُلُوفِ الْمَلائِكَةِ، وَيَمْثُلُ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ عَشَرَاتُ الأُلُوفِ. فَانْعَقَدَ مَجْلِسُ الْقَضَاءِ وَفُتِحَتِ الأَسْفَارُ. | ١٠ 10 |
A river of fire flowed out from before him; millions served him, and one hundred million were standing before him. The court was in session, and the books were opened.
| وَبَقَيتُ أُرَاقِبُ الْقَرْنَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا تَفَوَّهَ بِهِ مِنْ عَظَائِمَ، حَتَّى قُتِلَ الْحَيَوَانُ وَتَلِفَ جِسْمُهُ وَطُرِحَ وَقُوداً لِلنَّارِ. | ١١ 11 |
I continued to look because of the boastful words spoken by the horn. I watched while the animal was killed, and its body was destroyed, and it was given over to be burned up.
| أَمَّا سَائِرُ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ فَقَدْ جُرِّدَتْ مِنْ سُلْطَانِهَا، وَلَكِنَّهَا وُهِبَتِ الْبَقَاءَ عَلَى قَيْدِ الْحَيَاةِ لِزَمَنٍ مَا. | ١٢ 12 |
As for the rest of the four animals, their authority to rule was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a period of time.
| وَشَاهَدْتُ أَيْضاً فِي رُؤَى اللَّيْلِ وَإذَا بِمِثْلِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ مُقْبِلاً عَلَى سَحَابٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الأَزَلِيَّ فَقَرَّبُوهُ مِنْهُ. | ١٣ 13 |
In my visions that night, I saw one coming with the clouds of heaven like a son of man; he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.
| فَأَنْعَمَ عَلَيْهِ بِسُلْطَانٍ وَمَجْدٍ وَمَلَكُوتٍ لِتَتَعَبَّدَ لَهُ كُلُّ الشُّعُوبِ وَالأُمَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ لِسَانٍ. سُلْطَانُهُ سُلْطَانٌ أَبَدِيٌّ لَا يَفْنَى، وَمُلْكُهُ لَا يَنْقَرِضُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Authority to rule and glory and royal power were given to him so that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His authority to rule is an everlasting authority that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
| أَمَّا أَنَا دَانِيَالَ فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ الْحُزْنُ عَلَى رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِي وَرَوَّعَتْنِي رُؤَى رَأْسِي. | ١٥ 15 |
As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved inside of me, and the visions I saw in my mind troubled me.
| فَاقْتَرَبْتُ مِنْ أَحَدِ الْوَاقِفِينَ أَسْتَفْسِرُ مِنْهُ حَقِيقَةَ الأَمْرِ، فَأَطْلَعَنِي عَلَى مَعْنَى الرُّؤْيَا قَائِلاً: | ١٦ 16 |
I approached one of them standing there and asked him to show me the meaning of these things.
| «هَذِهِ الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الأَرْبَعَةُ الْعَظِيمَةُ هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ مُلُوكٍ يَظْهَرُونَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ١٧ 17 |
'These large animals, four in number, are four kings that will arise from the earth.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ قِدِّيسِي الْعَلِيِّ يَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَى الْمَمْلَكَةِ وَيَتَمَلَّكُونَهَا إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. | ١٨ 18 |
But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and they will possess it forever and ever.'
| حِينَئِذٍ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَطَّلِعَ عَلَى حَقِيقَةِ الْحَيَوَانِ الرَّابِعِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَخْتَلِفُ عَنْ سَائِرِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ، إِذْ كَانَ هَائِلاً جِدّاً ذَا أَسْنَانٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَمَخَالِبَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَقَدِ افْتَرَسَ وَسَحَقَ وَدَاسَ مَا تَبَقَّى بِرِجْلَيْهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Then I wanted to know more about the fourth animal—it was so different from the others and very horrifying with its iron teeth and bronze claws; it devoured, broke into pieces, and trampled on what was left with its feet.
| وَعَنِ الْقُرُونِ الْعَشَرَةِ النَّامِيَةِ فِي رَأْسِهِ، وَعَنِ الْقَرْنِ الآخَرِ الصَّغِيرِ الَّذِي نَبَتَ، فَاقْتُلِعَتْ أَمَامَهُ ثَلاثَةُ قُرُونٍ. هَذَا الْقَرْنُ ذُو الْعُيُونِ النَّاطِقُ بِالْعَظَائِمِ وَمَنْظَرُهُ أَشَدُّ هَوْلاً مِنْ رِفَاقِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
I wanted to know about the ten horns on its head, and about the other horn that grew up, and before which the three horns fell down. I wanted to know about the horn that had eyes and about the mouth that boasted about great things and that seemed greater than its companions.
| وَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ هَذَا الْقَرْنَ يُحَارِبُ الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَيَغْلِبُهُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
As I looked, this horn waged war against the holy people and was defeating them
| إِلَى أَنْ جَاءَ الأَزَلِيُّ وَانْعَقَدَ مَجْلِسُ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي فِيهِ تَبَرَّأَتْ سَاحَةُ قِدِّيسِي الْعَلِيِّ، وَأَزِفَ الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي فِيهِ امْتَلَكُوا الْمَمْلَكَةَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
until the Ancient of Days came, and justice was given to the holy people of the Most High. Then the time came when the holy people received the kingdom.
| فَأَجَابَ: إِنَّ الْحَيَوَانَ الرَّابِعَ هُوَ رَمْزٌ لِلْمَمْلَكَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَهِيَ تَخْتَلِفُ عَنْ سَائِرِ الْمَمَالِكِ لأَنَّهَا تَسْتَوْلِي عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ وَتُخْضِعُهَا وَتَسْحَقُهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
This is what that person said, 'As for the fourth animal, it will be a fourth kingdom on earth that will be different from all the other kingdoms. It will devour the whole earth, and it will trample it down and break it into pieces.
| أَمَّا الْقُرُونُ الْعَشَرَةُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ فَهِيَ عَشَرَةُ مُلُوكٍ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهَا، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ بَعْدَهُمْ مَلِكٌ آخَرُ يَخْتَلِفُ عَنِ الْمُلُوكِ السَّالِفِينَ، وَيُخْضِعُ ثَلاثَةَ مُلُوكٍ، | ٢٤ 24 |
As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise, and another will arise after them. He will be different from the previous ones, and he will conquer the three kings.
| وَيُعَيِّرُ الْعَلِيَّ وَيُنَكِّلُ بِقِدِّيسِيهِ، وَيُحَاوِلُ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ الأَوْقَاتَ وَالْقَوَانِينَ، فَيُذِلُّ الْقِدِّيسيِنَ ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ وَنِصْفَ السَّنَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
He will speak words against the Most High and will oppress the holy people of the Most High God. He will try to change the festivals and the law. These things will be given into his hand for one year, two years, and half a year.
| وَلَكِنْ يَنْعَقِدُ مَجْلِسُ الْقَضَاءِ، فَيُجَرَّدُ مِنْ سُلْطَانِهِ فَيُدَمَّرُ وَيَفْنَى إِلَى الْمُنْتَهَى. | ٢٦ 26 |
But the court will be in session, and they will take his royal power away to be consumed and destroyed at the end.
| وَتُوهَبُ الْمَمْلَكَةُ وَالسُّلْطَانُ وَعَظَمَةُ الْمَمَالِكِ الْقَائِمَةِ تَحْتَ كُلِّ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى شَعْبِ قِدِّيسِي الْعَلِيِّ، فَيَكُونُ مَلَكُوتُ الْعَلِيِّ مَلَكُوتاً أَبَدِيًّا، وَتَعْبُدُهُ جَمِيعُ السَّلاطِينِ وَيُطِيعُونَهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, will be given to the people who belong to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all other kingdoms will serve and obey him.'
| إِلَى هُنَا خِتَامُ الرُّؤْيَا. أَمَّا أَنَا دَانِيَالَ فَقَدْ رَوَّعَتْنِي أَفْكَارِي كَثِيراً وَتَغَيَّرَتْ هَيْئَتِي، وَلَكِنِّي كَتَمْتُ الأَمْرَ فِي قَلْبِي». | ٢٨ 28 |
Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me and my face changed in appearance. But I kept these things to myself.”
