Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream, and visions came into his head on his bed: then he put the dream in writing.
No primeiro anno de Belshazzar, rei de Babylonia, teve Daniel um sonho e visões da sua cabeça estando na sua cama: escreveu logo o sonho, e relatou a summa das coisas.
2 I had a vision by night, and saw the four winds of heaven violently moving the great sea.
Fallou Daniel, e disse: Eu estava vendo na minha visão da noite, e eis que os quatro ventos do céu combatiam no mar grande.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.
E quatro animaes grandes, differentes uns dos outros, subiam do mar.
4 The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings; while I was watching its wings were pulled off, and it was lifted up from the earth and placed on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
O primeiro era como leão, e tinha azas de aguia: eu estava olhando, até que lhe foram arrancadas as azas; e foi levantado da terra, e posto em pé como um homem, e foi-lhe dado um coração de homem.
5 And I saw another beast, like a bear, and it was lifted up on one side, and three side-bones were in its mouth, between its teeth: and they said to it, Up! take much flesh.
E eis aqui outro segundo animal, similhante a um urso, o qual se levantou de um lado, e tinha na bocca tres costellas entre os seus dentes, e foi-lhe dito assim: Levanta-te, devora muita carne.
6 After this I saw another beast, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings like those of a bird; and the beast had four heads, and the power of a ruler was given to it.
Depois d'isto, eu estava olhando, e eis aqui outro, que era como leopardo, e tinha quatro azas de ave nas suas costas: tinha tambem este animal quatro cabeças, e foi-lhe dado dominio.
7 After this, in my vision of the night, I saw a fourth beast, a thing causing fear and very troubling, full of power and very strong; and it had great iron teeth: it took its food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping down the rest with its feet: it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.
Depois d'isto, eu estava olhando nas visões da noite, e eis aqui o quarto animal, terrivel e espantoso, e muito forte, o qual tinha dentes grandes de ferro, devorava e fazia em pedaços, e pizava aos seus pés o que sobejava; e era differente de todos os animaes que foram antes d'elle, e tinha dez pontas.
8 I was watching the horns with care, and I saw another coming up among them, a little one, before which three of the first horns were pulled up by the roots: and there were eyes like a man's eyes in this horn, and a mouth saying great things.
Estando eu considerando as pontas, eis que outra ponta pequena subia entre ellas, e tres das pontas primeiras foram arrancadas de diante d'elle; e eis que n'esta ponta havia olhos, como olhos de homem, e uma bocca que fallava grandiosamente.
9 I went on looking till the seats of kings were placed, and one like a very old man took his seat: his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like clean wool; his seat was flames of fire and its wheels burning fire.
Eu estive olhando, até que foram postos uns thronos, e o ancião de dias se assentou: o seu vestido era branco como a neve, e o cabello da sua cabeça como a limpa lã; o seu throno chammas de fogo, e as rodas d'elle fogo ardente.
10 A stream of fire was flowing and coming out from before him: a thousand thousands were his servants, and ten thousand times ten thousand were in their places before him: the judge was seated and the books were open.
Um rio de fogo manava e sahia de diante d'elle: milhares de milhares o serviam, e milhões de milhões estavam em pé diante d'elle: assentou-se o juizo, e abriram-se os livros.
11 Then I saw — because of the voice of the great words which the horn said — I saw till the beast was put to death, and its body was given to destruction, and the beast was given to the burning of fire.
Então estive olhando, por causa da voz das grandes palavras que fallava a ponta: estive olhando até que mataram o animal, e o seu corpo foi desfeito, e entregue para ser queimado pelo fogo.
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their authority was taken away: but they let them go on living for a measure of time.
E, quanto aos outros animaes, foi-lhes tirado o dominio; todavia foi-lhes dado prolongação de vida até certo espaço de tempo.
13 I saw in visions of the night, and there was coming with the clouds of heaven one like a man, and he came to the one who was very old, and they took him near before him.
Eu estava vendo nas minhas visões da noite, e eis que era vindo nas nuvens do céu um como o filho do homem: e chegou até ao ancião dos dias, e o fizeram chegar perante elle.
14 And to him was given authority and glory and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages were his servants: his authority is an eternal authority which will not come to an end, and his kingdom is one which will not come to destruction.
E foi-lhe dado o dominio e a honra, e o reino, e que todos os povos, nações e linguas o servissem: o seu dominio é um dominio eterno, que não passará, e o seu reino se não destruirá.
15 As for me, Daniel, my spirit was pained because of this, and the visions of my head were troubling me.
Quanto a mim, Daniel, o meu espirito foi abatido dentro do corpo, e as visões da minha cabeça me espantavam.
16 I came near to one of those who were waiting there, questioning him about what all this was. And he said to me that he would make clear to me the sense of these things.
Cheguei-me a um dos que estavam em pé, e pedi-lhe a certeza ácerca de tudo isto. E elle me disse, e fez-me saber a interpretação das coisas.
17 These great beasts are four kings who will be cut off from the earth.
Estes grandes animaes, que são quatro, são quatro reis, que se levantarão da terra.
18 But the saints of the Most High will take the kingdom, and it will be theirs for ever, even for ever and ever.
Mas os sanctos do Altissimo receberão o reino, e possuirão o reino para todo o sempre, e de eternidade em eternidade.
19 Then it was my desire to have certain knowledge about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, a cause of great fear, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who took his food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping on the rest with his feet;
Então tive desejo de ter certeza do quarto animal, que era differente de todos os outros, muito terrivel, cujos dentes eram de ferro, e as suas unhas de metal; que devorava, fazia em pedaços e pizava a pés o que sobrava.
20 And about the ten horns on his head and the other which came up, causing the fall of three; that horn which had eyes, and a mouth saying great things, which seemed to be greater than the other horns.
Tambem das dez pontas que tinha na cabeça, e da outra que subia, de diante da qual cairam tres, d'aquella ponta, digo, que tinha olhos, e bocca que fallava grandiosamente, e cujo parecer era maior do que o das suas companheiras.
21 And I saw how that horn made war on the saints and overcame them,
Eu olhava, e eis que esta ponta fazia guerra contra os sanctos, e os vencia.
22 Till he came, who was very old, and the decision was made and the authority was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints took the kingdom.
Até que veiu o ancião de dias, e se deu o juizo aos sanctos do Altissimo, e chegou o tempo em que os sanctos possuiram o reino.
23 This is what he said: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom which will come on earth, different from all the kingdoms, and it will overcome all the earth, crushing it down and smashing it.
Disse assim: O quarto animal será o quarto reino na terra, o qual será differente de todos os reinos; e devorará toda a terra, e a pizará aos pés, e a fará em pedaços.
24 And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will come to power; and after them another will come up: he will be different from the first ones and will put down three kings.
E, quanto ás dez pontas, d'aquelle mesmo reino se levantarão dez reis; e depois d'elles se levantará outro, o qual será differente dos primeiros, e abaterá a tres reis
25 And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law; and the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time.
E fallará palavras contra o Altissimo, e destruirá os sanctos do Altissimo, e cuidará em mudar os tempos e a lei; e serão entregues na sua mão por um tempo, e tempos, e a metade d'um tempo.
26 But the judge will be seated, and they will put an end to his authority, to overcome it and send complete destruction on it.
E o juizo estará assentado, e tirarão o seu dominio, para o destruir e para o desfazer até ao fim.
27 And the kingdom and the authority and the power of the kingdoms under all the heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all powers will be his servants and do his pleasure.
E o reino, e o dominio, e a magestade dos reinos debaixo de todo o céu se dará ao povo dos sanctos do Altissimo: o seu reino será um reino eterno, e todos os dominios o servirão, e lhe obedecerão:
28 Here is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, I was greatly troubled by my thoughts, and the colour went from my face: but I kept the thing in my heart.
Até aqui foi o fim do negocio. Quanto a mim, Daniel, os meus pensamentos muito me espantavam, e mudou-se em mim o meu semblante; mas guardei o negocio no meu coração.
