Daniel 7
1 Iti umuna a tawen ni Belsazar nga ari ti Babilonia, nagtagtagainep ni Daniel ken nakakita iti maysa a sirmata kabayatan a nakaidda isuna. Ket insuratna ti nakitana iti tagtagainepna. Insuratna dagiti kangrunaan a pasamak:
In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and a vision in his head on his bed. And, writing down the dream, he understood it in a concise manner, and so, summarizing it tersely, he said:
2 Impalawag ni Daniel, “Iti sirmatak iti rabii, nakitak dagiti uppat nga angin ti langit ket kibkiburenda ti nalawa a baybay.
I saw in my vision at night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens fought upon the great sea.
3 Rimmuar manipud iti baybay dagiti uppat a dadakkel nga ayup, agduduma ti langa ti tunggal maysa.
And four great beasts, different from one another, ascended from the sea.
4 Kasla leon ti umuna ngem addaan kadagiti payak ti agila. Kabayatan a kitkitaek, naparut dagiti payakna ken naipangato iti rabaw ti daga ket nagtakder a kasla tao. Naikkan iti panunot a kasla iti tao.
The first was like a lioness and had the wings of an eagle. I watched as its wings were plucked off, and it was raised from the earth and stood on its feet like a man, and the heart of a man was given to it.
5 Kalpasanna adda iti maikadua nga ayup, kasla oso, ket nakadumog daytoy; addaan iti tallo a paragpag iti nagbaetan dagiti ngipen ken iti ngiwatna. Naibaga iti daytoy, 'Tumakderka ket mangalun-onka iti adu a tattao.'
And behold, another beast, like a bear, stood to one side, and there were three rows in its mouth and in its teeth, and they spoke to it in this way: “Arise, devour much flesh.”
6 Kalpasan daytoy, kimmitaak manen. Adda iti sabali pay nga ayup, kasla leopardo ti langana. Addaan kadagiti uppat a payak iti bukotna a kasla kadagiti payak ti billit, ken addaan iti uppat nga ulo. Naikkan iti bileg a mangituray.
After this, I watched, and behold, another like a leopard, and it had wings like a bird, four upon it, and four heads were on the beast, and power was given to it.
7 Kalpasan daytoy nakitak iti tagtagainepko iti rabii ti maikapat nga ayup, nakabutbuteng, nakaam-amak, ken nakapigpigsa unay. Addaan iti dakkel a landok a ngipen; nangalun-on daytoy, nangrumek, ken impayat-payatna dagiti nabati. Naidumduma daytoy manipud kadagiti dadduma nga ayup, ken addaan kadagiti sangapulo a sara.
After this, I watched in the vision of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible yet wondrous, and exceedingly strong; it had great iron teeth, eating yet crushing, and trampling down the remainder with his feet, but it was unlike the other beasts, which I had seen before it, and it had ten horns.
8 Kabayatan a buybuyaek dagiti sara, kimmitaak ket nakitak ti sabali pay a sara nga agtubtubo iti nagbabaetanda, maysa a bassit a sara. Naparut ti tallo kadagiti immun-una a sara. Nakitak iti daytoy a sara dagiti mata a kasla kadagiti mata ti tao ken ngiwat nga agpalpalangguad maipanggep kadagiti naindaklan a banbanag.
I considered the horns, and behold, another little horn rose out of the midst of them. And three of the first horns were rooted out by its presence. And behold, eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking unnatural things.
9 Bayat a kitkitaek, naisimpa dagiti trono, ket nagtugaw ti Sibibiag iti Agnanayon. Napudaw a kasla niebe ti kawesna, ket kasla puro a de lana ti buokna. Gumilgil-ayab nga apuy ti tronona, ken dagiti pilid daytoy ket dumardarang nga apuy.
I watched until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of days sat down. His garment was radiant like snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool; his throne was flames of fire, its wheels had been set on fire.
10 Agay-ayus nga apuy ti agtaud iti sangoananna; milyon dagiti agserserbi kenkuana, ken sangagasut a milyon ti nakatakder iti sangoananna. Nangrugi ti panangukom, ket nalukatan dagiti libro.
A river of fire rushed forth from his presence. Thousands upon thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times hundreds of thousands attended before him. The trial began, and the books were opened.
11 Intultuloyko ti kimmita gapu kadagiti napalangguad nga insao ti sara. Agbuybuyaak kabayatan a napapatay ti ayup, ket nadadael ti bagi daytoy, ket naiyawat daytoy tapno mapuoran.
I watched because of the voice of the great words which that horn was speaking, and I saw that the beast had been destroyed, and its body was ruined and had been handed over to be burnt with fire.
12 Ket dagiti dadduma kadagiti uppat nga ayup, naikkat ti panagturayda, ngem napalubosanda nga agbiag iti ababa a tiempo.
Likewise, the power of the other beasts was taken away, and a limited time of life was appointed to them, until one time and another.
13 Kadagiti sirmatak iti dayta a rabii, nakitak ti maysa nga um-umay a kaduana dagiti ulep ti langit a kasla iti anak ti tao; napan isuna iti Sibibiag iti Agnanayon ket naidatag iti sangoananna.
I watched, therefore, in the vision of the night, and behold, with the clouds of heaven, one like a son of man arrived, and he approached all the way to the Ancient of days, and they presented him before him.
14 Naited kenkuana ti bileg a mangituray ken dayag ken naarian a pannakabalin tapno dagiti amin a tattao, dagiti nasion, ken pagsasao ket rumbeng nga agserbi kenkuana. Ti bilegna a mangituray ket agnanayon a kinabileg a saan a mapukaw, ket saanto a madadael ti pagarianna.
And he gave him power, and honor, and the kingdom, and all peoples, tribes, and languages will serve him. His power is an eternal power, which will not be taken away, and his kingdom, one which will not be corrupted.
15 No maipapan kaniak a ni Daniel, agladingit ti espirituk iti kaunggak, ket riniribuknak dagiti sirmata a nakitak iti panunotko.
My spirit was terrified. I, Daniel, was fearful at these things, and the visions of my head disturbed me.
16 Immasidegak iti maysa kadakuada a nakatakder sadiay ket dinawatko kenkuana nga ipakitana kaniak ti kaipapanan dagitoy a banbanag.
I approached one of the attendants and asked the truth from him about all these things. He told me the interpretation of the words, and he instructed me:
17 Dagitoy a dadakkel nga ayup nga uppat iti bilangda, ket dagiti uppat nga ari a agturayto iti daga.
“These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which will rise from the earth.
18 Ngem awatento dagiti nasantoan a tattao ti Kangangatoan iti pagarian, ket tagikuaendanto iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana.'
Yet it is the saints of the Most High God who will receive the kingdom, and they will hold the kingdom from this generation, and forever and ever.”
19 Ket kayatko a maammoan ti ad-adu pay maipapan iti maikapat nga ayup—naidumduma daytoy manipud kadagiti dadduma ken nakabutbuteng unay gapu iti ngipenna a landok ken dagiti bronse a kuko daytoy; nangalun-on, nangrumek, ken impayatna ti nabati.
After this, I wanted to learn diligently about the fourth beast, which was very different from all, and exceedingly terrible; his teeth and claws were of iron; he devoured and crushed, and the remainder he trampled with his feet;
20 Kayatko a maammoan ti maipapan kadagiti sangapulo a sara nga adda iti ulo daytoy, ken maipapan kadagiti sabali a sara a nagtubo sakbay a natinnag dagiti tallo a sara. Kayatko a maammoan ti maipapan iti sara nga addaan kadagiti mata ken iti ngiwat a nagpalpalangguad kadagiti naindaklan a banbanag ken kasla nabilbileg ngem kadagiti kakaduana.
and about the ten horns, which he had on his head, and about the other, which had sprung up, before which three horns fell, and about that horn which had eyes and a mouth speaking great things, and which was more powerful than the rest.
21 Bayat a kitkitaek, ginubat daytoy a sara dagiti nasantoan a tattao ket pinarmekna ida
I watched, and behold, that horn made war against the holy ones and prevailed over them,
22 agingga nga immay ti Sibibiag iti Agnanayon, ket naited ti hustisia kadagiti nasantoan a tattao ti Kangangatoan. Ket dimtengen ti tiempo a panangawat dagiti nasantoan a tattao iti pagarian.
until the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the holy ones of the Supreme One, and the time arrived, and the holy ones obtained the kingdom.
23 Kastoy ti kinuna dayta a tao, 'No maipapan iti maikapat nga ayup, daytoyto ti maikapat a pagarian iti daga a naidumduma manipud kadagiti dadduma a pagarian. Dadaelennanto ti entero a daga, ket ipayat ken rumekennanto daytoy.
And thus he said, “The fourth beast will be the fourth kingdom on earth, which will be greater than all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will trample and crush it.
24 Maipapan kadagiti sangapulo a sara, manipud iti daytoy a pagarian ket tumaudto ti sangapulo nga ari, ket addanto pay iti tumaud a sumaruno kadakuada. Naidumdumanto isuna manipud iti immun-una, parmekennanto dagiti tallo nga ari.
Moreover, the ten horns of the same kingdom will be ten kings, and another will rise up after them, and he will be mightier than the ones before him, and he will bring down three kings.
25 Agsaonto isuna iti maibusor iti Kangangatoan ken idadanesnanto dagiti nasantoan a tattao ti Kangangatoan a Dios. Padasennanto a sukatan dagiti panagrambak ken ti linteg. Maiyawatto dagitoy a banbanag iti imana iti makatawen, dua a tawen ken kagudua a tawen.
And he will speak words against the Supreme One, and will exhaust the holy ones of the Most High, and he will think about what it would take to change the times and the laws, and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time.
26 Ngem mapasamakto ti panangukom, ket ikkatendanto ti naarian a pannakabalinna tapno mapukaw ken madadaelto iti kamaudianan.
And a trial will begin, so that his power may be taken away, and be crushed, and be undone all the way to the end.
27 Ti pagarian ken ti nasakupan, ken ti kinabileg dagiti pagarian nga adda iti babaen ti entero a langit, ket maitedto kadagiti tattao a kukua dagiti nasantoan a tattao ti Kangangatoan. Ti pagarianna ket agnanayon a pagarian, ket agserbi ken agtulnog kenkuana dagiti amin a pagarian.'
Yet the kingdom, and the power, and the greatness of that kingdom, which is under all of heaven, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings will serve and obey him.”
28 Ditoy ti nagpatinggaan ti banag. No maipapan kaniak a ni Daniel, riniribuknak unay dagiti kapanunotak ket nagbaliw ti langa ti rupak. Ngem awan nangibagbagaak kadagitoy a banbanag.”
And here is the end of the message. I, Daniel, was greatly disturbed by my thoughts, and my mood was changed in me, but I preserved the message in my heart.
