< Daniel 7 >
1 In the first year of Baltasar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream: and the vision of his head was upon his bed: and writing the dream, he comprehended it in few words: and relating the sum of it in short, he said:
В первое лето Валтасара царя Халдейска, Даниил сон виде и видения главы его на ложи его, и сон свой вписа:
2 I saw in my vision by night, and behold the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
аз Даниил видех в видении моем нощию: и се, четыри ветри небеснии налегоша на море великое,
3 And four great beasts, different one from another, came up out of the sea.
и четыри зверие велицыи исхождаху из моря, различни между собою:
4 The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her.
первый аки львица имый криле, криле же его аки орли, зрях, дондеже исторжена быша крила его, и воздвижеся от земли, и на ногу человечу ста, и сердце человечо дадеся ему:
5 And behold another beast like a bear stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh.
и се, зверь вторый подобен медведице, и на стране единей ста, и три ребра во устех его, среде зубов его, и сице глаголаху ему: востани, яждь плоти многи:
6 After this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings as of a fowl, and the beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
созади сего видех: и се, зверь ин аки рысь, томуже крила четыри птичия над ним и четыри главы зверю, и власть дадеся ему:
7 After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with its feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns.
созади сего видех: и се, зверь четвертый страшен и ужасен и крепок излиха, зубы же его железни велии, ядый и истончевая, останки же ногама своима попираше, тойже различаяся излиха паче всех зверей прежних, и рогов десять ему:
8 I considered the horns, and behold another little horn sprung out of the midst of them: and three of the first horns were plucked up at the presence thereof: and behold eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
разсмотрях в розех его, и се, рог другий мал взыде среде их, и трие рози преднии его исторгнушася от лица его, и се, очи аки очи человечи в розе том, и уста глаголюща великая.
9 I beheld till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire.
Зрях дондеже престоли поставшася, и Ветхий денми седе, и одежда Его бела аки снег, и власи главы Его аки волна чиста, престол Его пламень огнен, колеса Его огнь палящь:
10 A swift stream of fire issued forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened.
река огненна течаше исходящи пред Ним: тысящя тысящ служаху Ему, и тмы тем предстояху Ему: судище седе, и книги отверзошася.
11 I beheld because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke: and I saw that the beast was slain, and the body thereof was destroyed, and given to the fire to be burnt:
Видех тогда от гласа словес великих, яже рог оный глаголаше, дондеже убися зверь и погибе, и тело его дадеся во сожжение огненно:
12 And that the power of the other beasts was taken away: and that times of life were appointed them for a time, and time.
и прочих зверей преставися власть, и продолжение жития дадеся им до времене и времене.
13 I beheld therefore in the vision of the night, and lo, one like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he came even to the Ancient of days: and they presented him before him.
Видех во сне нощию, и се, на облацех небесных яко Сын человечь идый бяше и даже до Ветхаго денми дойде и пред Него приведеся:
14 And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed.
и Тому дадеся власть и честь и царство, и вси людие, племена и языцы Тому поработают: власть Его власть вечная, яже не прейдет, и царство Его не разсыплется.
15 My spirit trembled, I Daniel was affrighted at these things, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Вострепета дух мой в состоянии моем, аз Даниил, и видения главы моея смущаху мя.
16 I went near to one of them that stood by, and asked the truth of him concerning all these things, and he told me the interpretation of the words, and instructed me:
И приидох ко единому от стоящих и известия просих от него научитися о всех сих. И поведа ми известие и сказание словес возвести ми:
17 These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which shall arise out of the earth.
сии зверие велицыи четыри, четыри царства востанут на земли,
18 But the saints of the most high God shall take the kingdom: and they shall possess the kingdom for ever and ever.
яже возмутся: и преймут царство святии Вышняго и содержати будут оное даже до века веков.
19 After this I would diligently learn concerning the fourth beast. which was very different from all, and exceeding terrible: his teeth and claws were of iron: he devoured and broke in pieces, and the rest he stamped upon with his feet:
И вопрошах испытно о звери четвертем, яко бяше различен паче всякаго зверя, страшен вельми, зубы его железни и ногти его медяни, ядый и истончевая, останки же ногама своима попираше:
20 And concerning the ten horns that he had on his head: and concerning the other that came up, before which three horns fell: and of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the rest.
и о десяти розех его иже на главе его, и о друзем возшедшем и истрясшем первыя три, рог же той емуже очи и уста глаголюща великая, и видение его более прочиих:
21 I beheld, and lo, that horn made war against the saints, and prevailed over them,
зрях, и рог той творяше рать со святыми и укрепися на них,
22 Till the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the saints of the most High, and the time came, and the saints obtained the kingdom.
дондеже прииде Ветхий денми и суд даде святым Вышняго: и время приспе, и царство прияша святии.
23 And thus he said: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
И рече: зверь четвертый царство четвертое будет на земли, еже превзыдет вся царства и пояст всю зеемлю, и поперет ю и посечет:
24 And the ten horns of the same kingdom, shall be ten kings: and another shall rise up after them, and he shall be mightier than the former, and he shall bring down three kings.
и десять рогов его десять царей востанут, и по них востанет другий, иже превзыдет злобами всех прежних и три цари смирит,
25 And he shall speak words against the High One, and shall crush the saints of the most High: and he shall think himself able to change times and laws, and they shall be delivered into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time.
и словеса на Вышняго возглаголет и святых Вышняго смирит, и помыслит пременити времена и закон, и дастся в руку его даже до времене и времен и полувремене:
26 And judgment shall sit, that his power may be taken away, and be broken in pieces, and perish even to the end.
и судище сядет, и власть его преставят еже потребити и погубити до конца:
27 And that the kingdom, and power, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, may be given to the people of the saints of the most High: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings shall serve him, and shall obey him.
царство же и власть и величество царей, иже под всем небесем, дастся святым Вышняго: и царство Его царство вечное, и вся власти Тому работати будут и слушати.
28 Hitherto is the end of the word. I Daniel was much troubled with my thoughts, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the word in my heart.
До зде скончание словесе. Аз Даниил, надолзе размышления моя смущаху мя, и зрак мой пременися на мне, и глагол в сердцы моем соблюдох.
