Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream; he told the sum of the matters.
| فِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِحُكْمِ بَيلْشَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ رَأَى دَانِيَالُ حُلْماً وَرُؤىً، مَرَّتْ بِرَأْسِهِ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ فِي فِرَاشِهِ، فَدَوَّنَ الْحُلْمَ وَحَدَّثَ بِخُلاصَةِ الرُّؤْيَا. | ١ |
2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens broke forth upon the great sea.
| قَالَ دَانِيَالُ: شَاهَدْتُ فِي رُؤْيَايَ لَيْلاً، وَإذَا بِأَرْبَعِ رِيَاحِ السَّمَاءِ قَدْ هَجَمَتْ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ الْكَبِيرِ، | ٢ |
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.
| وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ صَعِدَ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ أَرْبعَةُ حَيَوَانَاتٍ عَظِيمَةٍ يَخْتَلِفُ بَعْضُهَا عَنْ بَعْضٍ. | ٣ |
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till its wings were plucked; and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
| فَكَانَ الأَوَّلُ كَالأَسَدِ بِجَنَاحَيْنِ كَجَنَاحَيِ النَّسْرِ. وَبَقِيتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى اقْتُلِعَ جَنَاحَاهُ، وَانْتَصَبَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَاقِفاً عَلَى رِجْلَيْنِ كَإِنْسَانٍ، وَأُعْطِيَ عَقْلَ إِنْسَانٍ. | ٤ |
5 And behold, another beast, a second, like unto a bear, and it raised up itself on one side; and [it had] three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and they said thus unto it: Arise, devour much flesh.
| وَرَأَيْتُ حَيَوَاناً آخَرَ شَبِيهاً بِالدُّبِّ، قَائِماً عَلَى جَنْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَفِي فَمِهِ بَيْنَ أَسْنَانِهِ ثَلاثُ أَضْلُعٍ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: انْهَضْ وَكُلْ لَحْماً كَثِيراً. | ٥ |
6 After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
| ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ بَعْدَ هَذَا حَيَوَاناً آخَرَ مِثْلَ النَّمِرِ، لَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ كَأَجْنِحَةِ الطَّائِرِ، وَكَانَ لِهَذَا الْحَيَوَانِ أَرْبَعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ، وَفُوِّضَتْ إِلَيْهِ سُلْطَاتٌ. | ٦ |
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceeding strong; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
| 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 |
8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another, a little horn, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
| 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 |
9 I beheld till thrones were set, and the Ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was flames of fire, [and] its wheels burning fire.
| وَفِيمَا كُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ، نُصِبَتْ عُرُوشٌ وَاعْتَلَى الأَزَلِيُّ كُرْسِيَّهُ وَكَانَتْ ثِيَابُهُ بَيْضَاءَ كَالثَّلْجِ، وَشَعْرُ رَأْسِهِ كَالصُّوفِ النَّقِيِّ، وَعَرْشُهُ لَهِيباً مُتَوَهِّجاً وَعَجَلاتُهُ نَاراً مُتَّقِدَةً. | ٩ |
10 A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
| وَمِنْ أَمَامِهِ يَتَدَفَّقُ وَيَجْرِي نَهْرٌ مِنْ نَارٍ، وَتَخْدُمُهُ أُلُوفُ أُلُوفِ الْمَلائِكَةِ، وَيَمْثُلُ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ عَشَرَاتُ الأُلُوفِ. فَانْعَقَدَ مَجْلِسُ الْقَضَاءِ وَفُتِحَتِ الأَسْفَارُ. | ١٠ |
11 I beheld therefore, because of the voice of the great words that the horn spoke; I beheld till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given up to be burned with fire.
| وَبَقَيتُ أُرَاقِبُ الْقَرْنَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا تَفَوَّهَ بِهِ مِنْ عَظَائِمَ، حَتَّى قُتِلَ الْحَيَوَانُ وَتَلِفَ جِسْمُهُ وَطُرِحَ وَقُوداً لِلنَّارِ. | ١١ |
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
| أَمَّا سَائِرُ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ فَقَدْ جُرِّدَتْ مِنْ سُلْطَانِهَا، وَلَكِنَّهَا وُهِبَتِ الْبَقَاءَ عَلَى قَيْدِ الْحَيَاةِ لِزَمَنٍ مَا. | ١٢ |
13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven [one] like a son of man, and he came up even to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
| وَشَاهَدْتُ أَيْضاً فِي رُؤَى اللَّيْلِ وَإذَا بِمِثْلِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ مُقْبِلاً عَلَى سَحَابٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الأَزَلِيَّ فَقَرَّبُوهُ مِنْهُ. | ١٣ |
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed.
| فَأَنْعَمَ عَلَيْهِ بِسُلْطَانٍ وَمَجْدٍ وَمَلَكُوتٍ لِتَتَعَبَّدَ لَهُ كُلُّ الشُّعُوبِ وَالأُمَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ لِسَانٍ. سُلْطَانُهُ سُلْطَانٌ أَبَدِيٌّ لَا يَفْنَى، وَمُلْكُهُ لَا يَنْقَرِضُ. | ١٤ |
15 As for me Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
| أَمَّا أَنَا دَانِيَالَ فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ الْحُزْنُ عَلَى رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِي وَرَوَّعَتْنِي رُؤَى رَأْسِي. | ١٥ |
16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the certainty of all this. And he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:
| فَاقْتَرَبْتُ مِنْ أَحَدِ الْوَاقِفِينَ أَسْتَفْسِرُ مِنْهُ حَقِيقَةَ الأَمْرِ، فَأَطْلَعَنِي عَلَى مَعْنَى الرُّؤْيَا قَائِلاً: | ١٦ |
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, [that] shall arise out of the earth.
| «هَذِهِ الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الأَرْبَعَةُ الْعَظِيمَةُ هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ مُلُوكٍ يَظْهَرُونَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ١٧ |
18 But the saints of the most high [places] shall receive the kingdom, and they shall possess the kingdom for ever, even to the ages of ages.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ قِدِّيسِي الْعَلِيِّ يَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَى الْمَمْلَكَةِ وَيَتَمَلَّكُونَهَا إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. | ١٨ |
19 Then I desired to know the certainty concerning the fourth beast, which was different from them all, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet;
| 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 |
20 and concerning the ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and before which three fell: even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose look was more imposing than its fellows.
| 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 |
21 I beheld, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them;
| وَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ هَذَا الْقَرْنَ يُحَارِبُ الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَيَغْلِبُهُمْ. | ٢١ |
22 until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most high [places]; and the appointed time arrived, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
| إِلَى أَنْ جَاءَ الأَزَلِيُّ وَانْعَقَدَ مَجْلِسُ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي فِيهِ تَبَرَّأَتْ سَاحَةُ قِدِّيسِي الْعَلِيِّ، وَأَزِفَ الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي فِيهِ امْتَلَكُوا الْمَمْلَكَةَ. | ٢٢ |
23 He said thus: The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
| فَأَجَابَ: إِنَّ الْحَيَوَانَ الرَّابِعَ هُوَ رَمْزٌ لِلْمَمْلَكَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَهِيَ تَخْتَلِفُ عَنْ سَائِرِ الْمَمَالِكِ لأَنَّهَا تَسْتَوْلِي عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ وَتُخْضِعُهَا وَتَسْحَقُهَا. | ٢٣ |
24 And as to the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall arise ten kings; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be different from the former, and he shall subdue three kings.
| أَمَّا الْقُرُونُ الْعَشَرَةُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ فَهِيَ عَشَرَةُ مُلُوكٍ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهَا، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ بَعْدَهُمْ مَلِكٌ آخَرُ يَخْتَلِفُ عَنِ الْمُلُوكِ السَّالِفِينَ، وَيُخْضِعُ ثَلاثَةَ مُلُوكٍ، | ٢٤ |
25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most high [places], and think to change seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and a half time.
| وَيُعَيِّرُ الْعَلِيَّ وَيُنَكِّلُ بِقِدِّيسِيهِ، وَيُحَاوِلُ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ الأَوْقَاتَ وَالْقَوَانِينَ، فَيُذِلُّ الْقِدِّيسيِنَ ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ وَنِصْفَ السَّنَةِ. | ٢٥ |
26 And the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
| وَلَكِنْ يَنْعَقِدُ مَجْلِسُ الْقَضَاءِ، فَيُجَرَّدُ مِنْ سُلْطَانِهِ فَيُدَمَّرُ وَيَفْنَى إِلَى الْمُنْتَهَى. | ٢٦ |
27 But the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavens, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most high [places]. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
| وَتُوهَبُ الْمَمْلَكَةُ وَالسُّلْطَانُ وَعَظَمَةُ الْمَمَالِكِ الْقَائِمَةِ تَحْتَ كُلِّ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى شَعْبِ قِدِّيسِي الْعَلِيِّ، فَيَكُونُ مَلَكُوتُ الْعَلِيِّ مَلَكُوتاً أَبَدِيًّا، وَتَعْبُدُهُ جَمِيعُ السَّلاطِينِ وَيُطِيعُونَهُ. | ٢٧ |
28 So far is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.
| إِلَى هُنَا خِتَامُ الرُّؤْيَا. أَمَّا أَنَا دَانِيَالَ فَقَدْ رَوَّعَتْنِي أَفْكَارِي كَثِيراً وَتَغَيَّرَتْ هَيْئَتِي، وَلَكِنِّي كَتَمْتُ الأَمْرَ فِي قَلْبِي». | ٢٨ |
