Daniel 7
1 in/on/with year one to/for Belshazzar king Babylon Daniel dream to see and vision head his since bed his in/on/with then dream [the] to write head word to say
[Previously, ] during the first year that Belshazzar was the king of Babylonia, I had a dream and a vision one night as I lay on my bed. [The next morning] I wrote down what I had dreamed. This is what I wrote:
2 to answer Daniel and to say to see to be in/on/with vision my with night [the] and behold! four spirit heaven [the] to strive to/for sea [the] great [the]
I, Daniel, had a vision last night. In the vision I saw that strong winds were blowing from all four directions, stirring up [the water in] the ocean.
3 and four beast great to ascend from sea [the] to change this from this
Then [I saw] four beasts coming out of the ocean. All four of them were different.
4 first [the] like/as lion and wing that eagle to/for her to see to be till that to pluck wing her and to lift from earth: soil [the] and since foot like/as man to stand: establish and heart man to give to/for her
The first one resembled a lion, but it had wings like an eagle has. But as I watched, something tore off its wings {its wings were pulled off}. The beast was left there, standing on its two hind/rear legs, like a human being stands. And it was given a mind like humans have.
5 and behold! beast another second be like to/for bear and to/for side one to stand: raise and three rib in/on/with mouth her between (tooth her *Q(K)*) and thus to say to/for her to stand: rise to devour flesh greatly
The second beast resembled a bear. It was crouching, and it held between its teeth three ribs [from another animal that it had killed and eaten]. Someone said to it {It was told}, “Stand up and eat as much meat [as you want]!”
6 place this to see to be and behold! another like/as leopard and to/for her wing four that bird since (back her *Q(K)*) and four head to/for beast [the] and dominion to give to/for her
Then I saw in front of me the third of those beasts. It resembled a leopard, but it had four wings protruding from its back. The wings were like a bird’s wings. It had four heads. It was given the power/authority to rule [people].
7 place this to see to be in/on/with vision night [the] and behold! beast (fourth *Q(k)*) to fear and terrible and strong preeminent and tooth that iron to/for her great to devour and to break up and remainder [the] (in/on/with foot her *Q(K)*) to tread and he/she/it to change from all beast [the] that before her and horn ten to/for her
In the vision I saw a fourth beast. It was stronger than the other beasts, and it was more terrifying. It crushed other creatures with its huge iron teeth and ate their flesh. The parts of animals that it did not grind with its teeth, it trampled [on the ground]. It was different from the other three beasts: It had ten horns [on its head].
8 to contemplate to be in/on/with horn [the] and behold horn another little to ascend (between them *Q(K)*) and three from horn [the] first [the] (be uprooted *Q(K)*) from (before her *Q(k)*) and behold eye like/as eye man [the] in/on/with horn [the] this and mouth to speak great
While I was looking at those horns, I saw a little horn appear [on the head of that beast]. It tore out three of the other horns. This little horn had eyes like humans have, and it had a mouth [with which it spoke] very boastfully.
9 to see to be till that throne to cast and ancient day to dwell garment his like/as snow white and hair head his like/as wool pure throne his flame that fire wheel his fire to burn
[Then] while I watched, thrones were put in the places [where they belonged], and [God], the one who had been living forever, sat on one of the thrones. His clothes were as white as snow, and his hair was as white as pure/clean wool. His throne had wheels that were blazing with fire, and his throne was [also] blazing.
10 river that fire to flow and to go out from before him thousand (thousand *Q(k)*) to minister him and myriad (myriad *Q(k)*) before him to stand: establish judgment [the] to dwell and scroll to open
A fire was rushing out of in front of him like a stream. Many thousands [of people] (OR, [angels]) [were there] serving him, and millions [of other people] (OR, [angels]) were standing in front of him. They started (the court session/judging people), and they opened the books [in which they had written the record of all the good and bad things that people had done].
11 to see to be in/on/with then from voice: sound word [the] great [the] that horn [the] to speak to see to be till that to slay beast [the] and to destroy body her and to give to/for burning fire
While I was watching, I could hear the little horn speaking very boastfully. As I [continued to] watch, the [fourth] beast was killed. Its corpse was thrown into a fire and completely burned.
12 and remainder beast [the] to pass on/over/away dominion their and lengthening in/on/with living to give to/for them till time and time
The power/authority of the other [three] beasts was taken away from them, but they were allowed to continue to live for a while.
13 to see to be in/on/with vision night [the] and behold! with cloud heaven [the] like/as son man to come to be and till ancient day [the] to reach and before him to approach him
While I [continued to] see the vision that night, I saw someone who resembled a human being. He was coming [closer to me], surrounded by clouds. Then he was taken to [God], the one who had been living forever.
14 and to/for him to give dominion and honor and kingdom and all people [the] people [the] and tongue [the] to/for him to serve dominion his dominion perpetuity that not to pass on/over/away and kingdom his that not to destroy
He was honored and given great authority to rule over all the nations in the world, in order that people from every people-group and every nation, people from all language groups, would worship/serve him. He will rule forever; he will never stop ruling. The kingdom that he rules will never be destroyed.
15 be distressed spirit my me Daniel in/on/with midst sheath and vision head my to dismay me
As for me, Daniel, I was very terrified by what I had seen in that vision, and I did not know what to think about it.
16 to approach since one from to stand: establish [the] and certain [the] to ask from him since all this and to say to/for me and interpretation word [the] to know me
I went to one of those who were standing in front of the throne of God, and I asked him to tell me what it meant. So he told me the meaning of it.
17 these beast [the] great [the] that they(fem.) four four king to stand: rise from earth: planet [the]
[He said], “The four huge beasts represent four kingdoms/empires that will exist on the earth.
18 and to receive kingdom [the] holy Most High and to possess kingdom [the] till perpetuity [the] and till perpetuity perpetuity [the]
But the Supreme God will give power/authority to his people [to rule], and they shall rule forever.”
19 then to will to/for to know since beast [the] fourth [the] that to be to change from (all their *Q(K)*) to fear preeminent (tooth her *Q(K)*) that iron and nail/claw her that bronze to devour to break up and remainder [the] in/on/with foot her to tread
Then I wanted to know what the fourth beast signified—[the beast] that was different from the other three, the beast that crushed [those that it attacked] with its bronze claws, and [then] ate [their flesh] with its iron teeth, and trampled on the parts of their bodies [that it did not eat].
20 and since horn [the] ten that in/on/with head her and another that to ascend (and to fall *Q(K)*) from (before her *Q(k)*) three and horn [the] this and eye to/for her and mouth to speak great and vision her great from associate her
[I also wanted to know about] the ten horns on its head, and about the horn that appeared later, which got rid of three of the other horns. [I wanted to know what it meant that] it had eyes and a mouth with which it spoke very boastfully. [The beast that was represented by] that horn was more terrifying than the other beasts.
21 to see to be and horn [the] this to make war with holy and be able to/for them
While I was having the vision, I saw that this horn attacked God’s people and was defeating them.
22 till that to come ancient day [the] and judgment [the] to give to/for holy Most High and time [the] to reach and kingdom [the] to possess holy
But then the Supreme God, the one who had been living forever, came and judged in favor of the people who belonged to him. And [I knew that] it was time for God’s people to receive authority [to rule].
23 thus to say beast [the] fourth [the] kingdom (fourth [the] *Q(k)*) to be in/on/with earth: planet [the] that to change from all kingdom [the] and to devour all earth: planet [the] and to tread her and to break up her
[Then] the man who was standing there said [to me], “The fourth beast represents an empire that will exist on the earth; that [empire] will be different from all [other] empires. [The army of] that empire will crush/kill [people all over] the world and trample [on their bodies].
24 and horn [the] ten from her kingdom [the] ten king to stand: rise and another to stand: rise after them and he/she/it to change from first [the] and three king be low
As for its ten horns, they represent ten kings who will rule that empire, [one after the other]. Then another [king] will appear. He will be different from the previous kings. He will defeat the three kings [that were represented by the three horns that were pulled out].
25 and word to/for side (Most High [the] *Q(k)*) to speak and to/for holy Most High to wear out and to intend to/for to change time and law and to give in/on/with hand his till time and time and half time
He will revile the Supreme God, and he will oppress God’s people. He will try to change the [sacred] festivals and their [religious] laws/regulations. He will control them for three and a half years.
26 and judgment [the] to dwell and dominion his to pass on/over/away to/for to destroy and to/for to destroy till end [the]
But there will be a session/meeting of the court/judges in heaven, and that king’s authority/power will be taken away, and he will be completely destroyed.
27 and kingdom [the] and dominion [the] and greatness [the] that kingdom under all heaven [the] to give to/for people holy Most High kingdom his kingdom perpetuity and all dominion [the] to/for him to serve and to hear
Then all the power and the greatness of all the kingdoms on the earth will be given to the people who belong to the Supreme God. The kingdom that he rules (OR, they rule) will endure forever. And the rulers of all the nations on the earth will serve and obey him (OR, them).”
28 till thus end [the] that word [the] me Daniel greatly thought my to dismay me and splendor my to change since me and word [the] in/on/with heart my to keep
That is [what I saw in] my vision/dream. I, Daniel, was terrified, with the result that my face became pale. But I did not tell anyone about the vision [that I had seen].
