Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions in his mind on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the summary of it.
| 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, look, the four winds of the sky broke forth on the great sea.
| قَالَ دَانِيَالُ: شَاهَدْتُ فِي رُؤْيَايَ لَيْلاً، وَإذَا بِأَرْبَعِ رِيَاحِ السَّمَاءِ قَدْ هَجَمَتْ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ الْكَبِيرِ، | ٢ |
3 Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one 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 saw until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand on two feet as a man; and a man's mind 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 look, another animal, a second one, like a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to 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 look, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also 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 look, a fourth animal, awesome and powerful, and extremely strong. And it had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet. And it was diverse from all the animals 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 look, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And look, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogant 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 saw until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, 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 fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court sat in judgment, 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 saw at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I was watching until the animal was killed and its body destroyed and was given 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 animals, their dominion was taken away, yet 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 look, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came 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 There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the 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 mind troubled me.
| أَمَّا أَنَا دَانِيَالَ فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ الْحُزْنُ عَلَى رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِي وَرَوَّعَتْنِي رُؤَى رَأْسِي. | ١٥ |
16 I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the true meaning concerning all this. So he told me, and revealed to me the interpretation of these things.
| فَاقْتَرَبْتُ مِنْ أَحَدِ الْوَاقِفِينَ أَسْتَفْسِرُ مِنْهُ حَقِيقَةَ الأَمْرِ، فَأَطْلَعَنِي عَلَى مَعْنَى الرُّؤْيَا قَائِلاً: | ١٦ |
17 These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth.
| «هَذِهِ الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الأَرْبَعَةُ الْعَظِيمَةُ هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ مُلُوكٍ يَظْهَرُونَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ١٧ |
18 But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ قِدِّيسِي الْعَلِيِّ يَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَى الْمَمْلَكَةِ وَيَتَمَلَّكُونَهَا إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. | ١٨ |
19 Then I desired to know the true meaning concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its claws of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped what was left 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 on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke arrogant things, whose look was larger than the others.
| 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 saw, and the same horn made war with the holy ones, and prevailed against them,
| وَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ هَذَا الْقَرْنَ يُحَارِبُ الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَيَغْلِبُهُمْ. | ٢١ |
22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came that the holy ones possessed the kingdom.
| إِلَى أَنْ جَاءَ الأَزَلِيُّ وَانْعَقَدَ مَجْلِسُ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي فِيهِ تَبَرَّأَتْ سَاحَةُ قِدِّيسِي الْعَلِيِّ، وَأَزِفَ الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي فِيهِ امْتَلَكُوا الْمَمْلَكَةَ. | ٢٢ |
23 This he said, 'The fourth animal shall be a fourth kingdom on 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 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise, and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down 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 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall oppress the holy ones of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given over to him until a time and times and half a time.
| وَيُعَيِّرُ الْعَلِيَّ وَيُنَكِّلُ بِقِدِّيسِيهِ، وَيُحَاوِلُ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ الأَوْقَاتَ وَالْقَوَانِينَ، فَيُذِلُّ الْقِدِّيسيِنَ ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ وَنِصْفَ السَّنَةِ. | ٢٥ |
26 And the court shall sit in judgment, and they shall take away his dominion, consumed and completely destroyed forever.
| وَلَكِنْ يَنْعَقِدُ مَجْلِسُ الْقَضَاءِ، فَيُجَرَّدُ مِنْ سُلْطَانِهِ فَيُدَمَّرُ وَيَفْنَى إِلَى الْمُنْتَهَى. | ٢٦ |
27 The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High. 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 Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. I kept the matter to myself."
| إِلَى هُنَا خِتَامُ الرُّؤْيَا. أَمَّا أَنَا دَانِيَالَ فَقَدْ رَوَّعَتْنِي أَفْكَارِي كَثِيراً وَتَغَيَّرَتْ هَيْئَتِي، وَلَكِنِّي كَتَمْتُ الأَمْرَ فِي قَلْبِي». | ٢٨ |
