Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Baltasar, king of the Chaldeans Daniel had a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed: and he wrote his dream.
Anno primo Baltassar regis Babylonis Daniel somnium vidit visio autem capitis eius in cubili suo et somnium scribens brevi sermone comprehendit summatimque perstringens ait
2 I Daniel saw, and, behold, the four winds of heaven blew violently upon the great sea.
Videbam in visione mea nocte et ecce quattuor venti caeli pugnabant in mari magno
3 And there came up four great beasts out of the sea, differing from one another.
Et quattuor bestiae grandes ascendebant de mari diversae inter se
4 The first [was] as a lioness, and her wings as an eagle's; I saw until her wings were plucked, ands she was lifted off from the earth, and she stood on human feet, and a man's heart was given to her.
Prima quasi leaena et alas habebat aquilae aspiciebam donec evulsae sunt alae eius et sublata est de terra et super pedes quasi homo stetit et cor hominis datum est ei
5 And, behold, a second beast like a bear, and it supported itself on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth: and thus they said to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
Et ecce bestia alia similis urso in parte stetit et tres ordines erant in ore eius et in dentibus eius et sic dicebant ei Surge comede carnes plurimas
6 After this one I looked, and behold another wild beast as a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon it: and the wild beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
Post haec aspiciebam et ecce alia quasi pardus et alas habebat quasi avis quattuor super se et quattuor capita erant in bestia et potestas data est ei
7 After this one I looked, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong, and its teeth were of iron; devouring and crushing to atoms, and it trampled the remainder with its feet: and it was altogether different from the beasts that were before it; and it [had] ten hours.
Post haec aspiciebam in visione noctis et ecce bestia quarta terribilis atque mirabilis et fortis nimis dentes ferreos habebat magnos comedens atque comminuens et reliqua pedibus suis conculcans dissimilis autem erat ceteris bestiis quas videram ante eam et habebat cornua decem
8 I noticed his horns, and behold, another little horn came up in the midst of them, and before it three of the former horns were rooted out: and, behold, [there were] eyes as the eyes of a man in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
Considerabam cornua et ecce cornu aliud parvulum ortum est de medio eorum et tria de cornibus primis evulsa sunt a facie eius et ecce oculi quasi oculi hominis erant in cornu isto et os loquens ingentia
9 I saw until the thrones were set, and the Ancient of days sat; and his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head, as pure wool: his throne was a flame of fire, [and] his wheels burning fire.
Aspiciebam donec throni positi sunt et antiquus dierum sedit vestimentum eius candidum quasi nix et capilli capitis eius quasi lana munda thronus eius flammae ignis rotae eius ignis accensus
10 A stream of fire rushed forth before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousands of myriads, attended upon him: the judgement sat, and the books were opened.
Fluvius igneus rapidusque egrediebatur a facie eius millia millium ministrabant ei et decies millies centena millia assistebant ei iudicium sedit et libri aperti sunt
11 I saw then because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke, until the wild beast was slain and destroyed, and his body given to be burnt with fire.
Aspiciebam propter vocem sermonum grandium quos cornu illud loquebatur et vidi quoniam interfecta esset bestia et perisset corpus eius et traditum esset ad comburendum igni
12 And the dominion of the rest of the wild beasts was taken away; but a prolonging of life was given them for certain times.
aliarum quoque bestiarum ablata esset potestas et tempora vitae constituta essent eis usque ad tempus et tempus
13 I saw in the night vision, and, behold, [one] coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he came on to the Ancient of days, and was brought near to him.
Aspiciebam ergo in visione noctis et ecce cum nubibus caeli quasi filius hominis veniebat et usque ad antiquum dierum pervenit et in conspectu eius obtulerunt eum
14 And to him was given the dominion, and the honour, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.
Et dedit ei potestatem et honorem et regnum et omnes populi tribus et linguae ipsi servient potestas eius potestas aeterna quae non auferetur et regnum eius quod non corrumpetur
15 [As for] me Daniel, my spirit in my body trembled, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Horruit spiritus meus ego Daniel territus sum in his et visiones capitis mei conturbaverunt me
16 And I drew near to one of them that stood by, and I sought to learn of him the truth of all these things: and he told me the truth, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
Accessi ad unum de assistentibus et veritatem quaerebam ab eo de omnibus his Qui dixit mihi interpretationem sermonum et docuit me
17 These four beasts are four kingdoms [that] shall rise up on the earth:
Hae quattuor bestiae magnae quattuor sunt regna quae consurgent de terra
18 which shall be taken away; and the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess it for ever and ever.
Suscipient autem regnum sancti Dei altissimi et obtinebunt regnum usque in saeculum et saeculum saeculorum
19 Then I enquired carefully concerning the fourth beast; for it differed from every [other] beast, exceeding dreadful: its teeth were of iron, and its claws of brass, devouring, and utterly breaking to pieces, and it trampled the remainder with its feet:
Post hoc volui diligenter discere de bestia quarta quae erat dissimilis valde ab omnibus et terribilis nimis dentes et ungues eius ferrei comedebat et comminuebat et reliqua pedibus suis conculcabat
20 and concerning it ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and rooted up [some] of the former, which had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and his look was bolder than the rest.
et de cornibus decem quae habebat in capite et de alio quod ortum fuerat ante quod ceciderant tria cornua et de cornu illo quod habebat oculos et os loquens grandia et maius erat ceteris
21 I saw, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Aspiciebam et ecce cornu illud faciebat bellum adversus sanctos et praevalebat eis
22 until the Ancient of days came, and he gave judgement to the saints of the Most High; and the time came on, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
donec venit antiquus dierum et iudicium dedit sanctis Excelsi et tempus advenit et regnum obtinuerunt sancti
23 And he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on the earth, which shall excel all [other] kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and trample and destroy it.
Et sic ait Bestia quarta regnum quartum erit in terra quod maius erit omnibus regnis et devorabit universam terram et conculcabit et comminuet eam
24 And his ten horns are ten kings [that] shall arise: and after them shall arise another, who shall exceed all the former ones in wickedness and he shall subdue three kings.
Porro cornua decem ipsius regni decem reges erunt et alius consurget post eos et ipse potentior erit prioribus et tres reges humiliabit
25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change times and law: and [power] shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.
Et sermones contra Excelsum loquetur et sanctos Altissimi conteret et putabit quod possit mutare tempora et leges et tradentur in manu eius usque ad tempus et tempora et dimidium temporis
26 And the judgement has sat, and they shall remove [his] dominion to abolish it, and to destroy it utterly.
Et iudicium sedebit ut auferatur potentia et conteratur et dispereat usque in finem
27 And the kingdom and the power and the greatness of the kings that are under the whole heaven were given to the saints of the Most High; and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all powers shall serve and obey him.
Regnum autem et potestas et magnitudo regni quae est subter omne caelum detur populo sanctorum Altissimi cuius regnum regnum sempiternum est et omnes reges servient ei et obedient
28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance was changed: but I kept the matter in my heart.
Hucusque finis verbi Ego Daniel multum cogitationibus meis conturbabar et facies mea mutata est in me verbum autem in corde meo conservavi
