Daniel 7
1 No primeiro ano de Belshazzar, rei de Babilônia, teve Daniel um sonho e visões da sua cabeça estando na sua cama: escreveu logo o sonho, e relatou a suma das coisas.
In the first year of Belshazzar the king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and the visions of his head while on his couch: afterward he wrote down the dream, relating the principal things.
2 Falou Daniel, e disse: Eu estava vendo na minha visão da noite, e eis que os quatro ventos do céu combatiam no mar grande.
Daniel commenced and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven blew fiercely on the great sea.
3 E quatro animais grandes, diferentes uns dos outros, subiam do mar.
And four great beasts came up from the sea, differing one from another.
4 O primeiro era como leão, e tinha asas de águia: eu estava olhando, até que lhe foram arrancadas as asas; e foi levantado da terra, e posto em pé como um homem, e foi-lhe dado um coração de homem.
the first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I looked till its wings were plucked out, and it was lifted up from the earth, and was placed upon its feet as a man, and a human heart was given to it.
5 E eis aqui outro segundo animal, semelhante a um urso, o qual se levantou de um lado, e tinha na boca três costelas entre os seus dentes, e foi-lhe dito assim: Levanta-te, devora muita carne.
And behold there was another, a second beast, like a bear, and on one side was it placed, with three ribs in its mouth between its teeth: and thus they said unto it, Arise, eat much flesh.
6 Depois disto, eu estava olhando, e eis aqui outro, que era como leopardo, e tinha quatro asas de ave nas suas costas: tinha também este animal quatro cabeças, e foi-lhe dado domínio.
After this I looked, and lo there was another, like a leopard; and it had four wings of a bird on its back: the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given unto it.
7 Depois disto, eu estava olhando nas visões da noite, e eis aqui o quarto animal, terrível e espantoso, e muito forte, o qual tinha dentes grandes de ferro, devorava e fazia em pedaços, e pizava aos seus pés o que sobejava; e era diferente de todos os animais que foram antes dele, e tinha dez pontas.
After this I looked in the night visions, and behold there was a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and ground up, and what was left it stamped with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 Estando eu considerando as pontas, eis que outra ponta pequena subia entre elas, e três das pontas primeiras foram arrancadas de diante dele; e eis que nesta ponta havia olhos, como olhos de homem, e uma boca que falava grandiosamente.
I looked carefully at the horns, and, behold, another little horn came up between them, and three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots before the same; and, behold, there were eyes like the eyes of man in this horn, with a mouth speaking presumptuous things.
9 Eu estive olhando, até que foram postos uns tronos, e o ancião de dias se assentou: o seu vestido era branco como a neve, e o cabelo da sua cabeça como a limpa lã; o seu trono chamas de fogo, e as rodas dele fogo ardente.
I was looking until chairs were set down, and an Ancient of days seated himself, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of whose head was like clean wool; his chair was like flames of fire, and his wheels like fire that burnt;
10 Um rio de fogo manava e saía de diante dele: milhares de milhares o serviam, e milhões de milhões estavam em pé diante dele: assentou-se o juízo, e abriram-se os livros.
A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousand times thousands ministered unto him, and myriad times myriads stood before him: they sat down to hold judgment, and the books were opened.
11 Então estive olhando, por causa da voz das grandes palavras que falava a ponta: estive olhando até que mataram o animal, e o seu corpo foi desfeito, e entregue para ser queimado pelo fogo.
I looked then, because of the sound of the presumptuous words which the horn had spoken, —I looked till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and given over to the burning fire.
12 E, quanto aos outros animais, foi-lhes tirado o domínio; todavia foi-lhes dado prolongação de vida até certo espaço de tempo.
But concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet a longer duration of life was given unto them until the time and period.
13 Eu estava vendo nas minhas visões da noite, e eis que era vindo nas nuvens do céu um como o filho do homem: e chegou até ao ancião dos dias, e o fizeram chegar perante ele.
I looked in the nightly visions, and, behold, with the clouds of heaven came one like a son of man, and he attained as far as the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 E foi-lhe dado o domínio e a honra, e o reino, e que todos os povos, nações e línguas o servissem: o seu domínio é um domínio eterno, que não passará, e o seu reino se não destruirá.
And there were given him dominion, and dignity, and government, and all people, nations, and languages had to serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom is one which shall never be destroyed.
15 Quanto a mim, Daniel, o meu espírito foi abatido dentro do corpo, e as visões da minha cabeça me espantavam.
My spirit was deeply shaken within me, Daniel, in the midst of its tenement, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 Cheguei-me a um dos que estavam em pé, e pedi-lhe a certeza acerca de tudo isto. E ele me disse, e fêz-me saber a interpretação das coisas.
I came near unto one of those that stood by, and asked him something certain concerning all this: and he spoke to me, and made known unto me the interpretation of the things.
17 Estes grandes animais, que são quatro, são quatro reis, que se levantarão da terra.
These great beasts, of which there are four, are four kings, who are to arise on the earth.
18 Mas os santos do altíssimo receberão o reino, e possuirão o reino para todo o sempre, e de eternidade em eternidade.
But the saints of the Most High will obtain the kingdom, and possess the kingdom to eternity, even to all eternity for ever.
19 Então tive desejo de ter certeza do quarto animal, que era diferente de todos os outros, muito terrível, cujos dentes eram de ferro, e as suas unhas de metal; que devorava, fazia em pedaços e pizava a pés o que sobrava.
Then I desired what is certain concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all these others, exceedingly dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and whose nails of copper; which devoured, ground up, and stamped with its feet what was left;
20 Também das dez pontas que tinha na cabeça, e da outra que subia, de diante da qual cairam três, daquela ponta, digo, que tinha olhos, e boca que falava grandiosamente, e cujo parecer era maior do que o das suas companheiras.
And concerning the ten horns that were in its head, and concerning the other which came up, and before which three fell down, even concerning that horn which had eyes, and a mouth which spoke presumptuous things, and whose appearance was greater than that of its companions.
21 Eu olhava, e eis que esta ponta fazia guerra contra os santos, e os vencia.
I had seen how the same horn had made war with the saints, and had prevailed against them:
22 Até que veio o ancião de dias, e se deu o juízo aos santos do altíssimo, e chegou o tempo em que os santos possuiram o reino.
Until the Ancient of days came, and procured justice unto the saints of the Most High; and the time came and the saints took possession of the kingdom.
23 Disse assim: O quarto animal será o quarto reino na terra, o qual será diferente de todos os reinos; e devorará toda a terra, e a pizará aos pés, e a fará em pedaços.
Thus said he, The fourth beast [signifieth that] a fourth kingdom will be upon earth, which is to be different from all kingdoms, and will devour all the earth, and will tread it down, and grind it up.
24 E, quanto às dez pontas, daquele mesmo reino se levantarão dez reis; e depois deles se levantará outro, o qual será diferente dos primeiros, e abaterá a três reis
And the ten horns out of this kingdom [signify] that ten kings will arise; and another will rise after them, and he will be different from the first, and three kings will he bring low.
25 E falará palavras contra o altíssimo, e destruirá os santos do altíssimo, e cuidará em mudar os tempos e a lei; e serão entregues na sua mão por um tempo, e tempos, e a metade dum tempo.
And he will speak words against the Most High, and the saints of the Most High will he oppress, and think to change the festivals and the law: and they will be given up into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
26 E o juízo estará assentado, e tirarão o seu domínio, para o destruir e para o desfazer até ao fim.
But they will sit down to hold judgment, and they will take away his dominion, to destroy and to annihilate it unto the end.
27 E o reino, e o domínio, e a magestade dos reinos debaixo de todo o céu se dará ao povo dos santos do altíssimo: o seu reino será um reino eterno, e todos os domínios o servirão, e lhe obedecerão:
And the kingdom and the dominion, and the power over the kingdoms under the whole heaven, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all governments are to worship and obey him.
28 Até aqui foi o fim do negócio. Quanto a mim, Daniel, os meus pensamentos muito me espantavam, e mudou-se em mim o meu semblante; mas guardei o negócio no meu coração.
Thus far is the end of the speech. As for me Daniel, my reflections troubled me greatly, and my color was changed on me; but I kept the speech in my heart.
