< Daniel 7 >

1 In year one of Belshazzar [the] king of Babylon Daniel a dream he saw and [the] visions of head his on bed his then dream the he wrote [the] head of matters he said.
En el primer año del reinado de Belsasar como rey de Babilonia, Daniel tuvo un sueño en el que pasaban visiones por su mente mientras estaba acostado. Después escribió el sueño, describiéndolo en forma resumida.
2 [was] replying Daniel and [was] saying seeing I was in vision my with night the and lo! [the] four [the] winds of heavens the [were] stirring up sea the great.
En la visión que tuve aquella noche, vi una tremenda tormenta que soplaba desde todas las direcciones, agitando un gran mar.
3 And four beasts great [were] coming up from sea the [they were] different this [one] from this [one].
Cuatro bestias muy grandes subían del mar, cada una de ellas diferente.
4 First the [was] like a lion and wings of an eagle [were] to it seeing I was until that they were plucked off wings its and it was lifted away from earth the and on two feet like a human it was made to stand and a heart of a human it was given to it.
La primera era como un león y tenía alas de águila. Mientras miraba, le arrancaron las alas y la pusieron en pie, de modo que estaba de pie con las patas traseras en el suelo, y se le dio la mente de un ser humano.
5 And lo! a beast another a second [was] like a bear and to a side one it was raised and three ribs [were] in mouth its between (tooth its *Q(K)*) and as follows [they were] saying to it arise devour! flesh much.
Apareció una segunda bestia, con aspecto de oso, encorvada de un lado y sujetando con los dientes tres costillas en la boca. Se le dijo: “Levántate y come toda la carne que puedas”.
6 After this seeing I was and lo! another like a leopard and to it wings four of a bird [were] on (back its *Q(K)*) and four heads [were] to beast the and dominion it was given to it.
Después de esto vi una tercera bestia. Parecía un leopardo con cuatro alas como las de un pájaro en su espalda, y tenía cuatro cabezas. Se le dio poder para imponer su dominio.
7 After this seeing I was in [the] visions of night the and lo! a beast (fourth *Q(k)*) [was] fearful and terrible and strong exceedingly and teeth of iron [were] to it great [it was] devouring and [it was] shattering and rest the (with foot its *Q(K)*) [it was] trampling and it [was] different from all beasts the which [was] before it and horns ten [were] to it.
Luego, en la visión que tuve esa noche, apareció una cuarta bestia. Era aterradora, espantosa y extremadamente poderosa, con grandes dientes de hierro. Destrozaba y devoraba a sus víctimas, y luego pisoteaba lo que quedaba. Esta bestia era diferente a las anteriores, y tenía diez cuernos.
8 Considering I was horns the and lo! a horn another small it came up (between them *Q(K)*) and three of horns the former (they were uprooted *Q(K)*) from (before it *Q(k)*) and lo! eyes like [the] eyes of humankind [were] on horn the this and a mouth [was] speaking great [things].
Mientras me preguntaba por los cuernos, otro cuerno, uno pequeño, surgió entre ellos y tres de los cuernos anteriores fueron arrancados ante él. Tenía ojos de aspecto humano y una boca que hacía alardes arrogantes.
9 Seeing I was until that thrones they were placed and [one] ancient of days he sat clothing his - like snow [was] white and [the] hair of head his like wool [was] pure throne his [was] flames of fire wheels its [were] fire burning.
Mientras yo observaba, se colocaron tronos y el Anciano de los Días tomó asiento. Sus ropas eran blancas como la nieve y sus cabellos parecían la lana más pura. Su trono ardía como las llamas; sus ruedas, como el fuego ardiente.
10 A river of fire [was] flowing and [was] coming out from before him a thousand of (thousands *Q(k)*) they were ministering to him and a myriad of (myriads *Q(k)*) before him they were standing court the it sat and books they were opened.
Un torrente de fuego brotaba ante él. Miles de personas acudieron a él; diez mil veces diez mil estuvieron de pie ante él. El tribunal se sentó para comenzar su juicio, y se abrieron los libros.
11 Seeing I was then from [the] sound of words the great which horn the [was] speaking seeing I was until that it was killed beast the and it was destroyed body its and it was given to [the] burning of fire.
Yo vigilaba por los alardes que hacía el cuerno pequeño. Seguí observando hasta que esa bestia fue muerta y su cuerpo destruido por la quema.
12 And [the] rest of beasts the they removed dominion their and a prolonging in life it was given to them until a time and a time.
Al resto de las bestias se les permitió seguir viviendo por una temporada y un tiempo, pero se les quitó el poder de gobernar.
13 Seeing I was in [the] visions of night the and lo! with [the] clouds of heavens the like a son of man coming he was and to [the] [one] ancient of days he reached and before him they brought near him.
Mientras seguía observando en mi visión que tuve aquella noche, vi a uno como un hijo de hombre que venía con las nubes del cielo. Se acercó al Anciano de los Días y fue conducido a su presencia.
14 And to him it was given dominion and honor and a kingdom and all peoples the nations the and languages the to him they will pay reverence dominion his [was] a dominion of perpetuity which not it will pass away and kingdom his which not it will be destroyed.
Se le dio autoridad, gloria y el poder de gobernar sobre todos los pueblos, las diferentes naciones y lenguas, para que todos lo adoraran. Su gobierno es eterno, nunca cesará, y su reino nunca será destruido.
15 It was distressed spirit my I Daniel in [the] midst of [the] sheath and [the] visions of head my they alarmed me.
Yo, Daniel, estaba profundamente perturbado; las visiones que habían pasado por mi mente me asustaban.
16 I approached to one of [ones] standing the and truth the I was asking from him concerning all this and he said to me and [the] interpretation of matters the he made known to me.
Me acerqué a uno de los asistentes y le pedí que me explicara qué significaba todo esto. Dijo que lo explicaría para que pudiera entenderlo.
17 These beasts the great which they [are] four four kings they will arise from earth the.
“Estas cuatro grandes bestias simbolizan cuatro reinos que ascenderán al poder en la tierra.
18 So they may receive kingdom the [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High so they may take possession of kingdom the until perpetuity and until perpetuity of perpetuities.
Pero los consagrados al Altísimo recibirán finalmente el reino. Ellos poseerán el reino para siempre, por los siglos de los siglos”.
19 Then I desired to make certain concerning beast the fourth which it was different from (all of them *Q(K)*) [it was] terrible exceedingly (tooth its *Q(K)*) of iron and claws its of bronze [it was] devouring [it was] shattering and rest the with feet its [it was] trampling.
Entonces quise saber qué representaba la cuarta bestia, la que era diferente a las demás y tan aterradora. Tenía dientes de hierro y garras de bronce, y destrozaba y devoraba a sus víctimas, pisoteando lo que quedaba.
20 And concerning horns the ten which [were] on head its and another [horn] which it came up (and they fell *Q(K)*) from (before it *Q(k)*) three [horns] and horn the this and eyes [were] to it and a mouth [was] speaking great [things] and appearance its [was] great more than companion its.
También quería saber sobre los diez cuernos que tenía en la cabeza, y sobre el otro que surgió después, haciendo caer tres de los otros cuernos. Este cuerno parecía más impresionante que los otros y tenía ojos y una boca que hacía alardes arrogantes.
21 Seeing I was and horn the this [was] making war with [the] holy [ones] and [it was] prevailing to them.
Observé cómo este cuerno atacaba al pueblo consagrado de Dios y lo conquistaba,
22 Until that he came [the] [one] ancient of days and judgment it was given for [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High and appointed time the it arrived and kingdom the they took possession of [the] holy [ones].
hasta que vino el Anciano de los Días y dictó sentencia a favor de el pueblo dedicado del Altísimo, y en ese momento tomaron posesión del reino.
23 As follows he said beast the fourth a kingdom (fourth the *Q(k)*) it will be on earth the which it will be different from all kingdoms the so it may devour all earth the and it will tread down it and it will shatter it.
Entonces me dijo: “La cuarta bestia representa el cuarto reino que gobernará la tierra. Será diferente a todos los demás reinos. La bestia se comerá el mundo entero, lo pisoteará y lo aplastará.
24 And horns the ten from it kingdom the ten kings they will arise and another he will arise after them and he he will be different from former [kings] the and three kings he will bring low.
Los diez cuernos son diez reyes que llegarán al poder de este reino. El que viene después es diferente a ellos, y derrotará a tres de ellos.
25 And words to [the] side of (Most High the *Q(k)*) he will speak and [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High he will wear out so he may think to change appointed times and law so they may be given in hand his until a time and times and half of a time.
Hablará palabras de desafío contra el Altísimo y oprimirá al pueblo consagrado del Altísimo, e intentará cambiar los tiempos y las leyes, y serán puestos bajo su poder por un tiempo, dos tiempos y medio tiempo.
26 And court the it will sit and dominion his they will remove to annihilate and to destroy until end the.
“Entonces el tribunal ejecutará el juicio y quitará su poder, destruyéndolo para siempre.
27 And kingdom the and dominion the and greatness the of kingdoms under all heavens the it was given to a people [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High kingdom his [will be] a kingdom of perpetuity and all empires the to him they will pay reverence so they may obey.
Entonces el derecho a gobernar, el poder y la grandeza de todos los reinos bajo el cielo serán entregados a los consagrados al Altísimo. Su reino durará para siempre, y todos los que gobiernan le servirán y obedecerán”.
28 To here end the of matter the I Daniel exceedingly - thoughts my they alarmed me and brightness my they were changed on me and matter the in heart my I have kept.
Este es el final del resumen. En cuanto a mí, Daniel, mis pensamientos me perturbaron mucho y mi rostro palideció, pero me lo guardé todo para mí.
