Книга пророка Даниила 7
1 В первое лето Валтасара царя Халдейска, Даниил сон виде и видения главы его на ложи его, и сон свой вписа:
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.
2 аз Даниил видех в видении моем нощию: и се, четыри ветри небеснии налегоша на море великое,
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.
3 и четыри зверие велицыи исхождаху из моря, различни между собою:
Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
4 первый аки львица имый криле, криле же его аки орли, зрях, дондеже исторжена быша крила его, и воздвижеся от земли, и на ногу человечу ста, и сердце человечо дадеся ему:
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.
5 и се, зверь вторый подобен медведице, и на стране единей ста, и три ребра во устех его, среде зубов его, и сице глаголаху ему: востани, яждь плоти многи:
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.'
6 созади сего видех: и се, зверь ин аки рысь, томуже крила четыри птичия над ним и четыри главы зверю, и власть дадеся ему:
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.
7 созади сего видех: и се, зверь четвертый страшен и ужасен и крепок излиха, зубы же его железни велии, ядый и истончевая, останки же ногама своима попираше, тойже различаяся излиха паче всех зверей прежних, и рогов десять ему:
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.
8 разсмотрях в розех его, и се, рог другий мал взыде среде их, и трие рози преднии его исторгнушася от лица его, и се, очи аки очи человечи в розе том, и уста глаголюща великая.
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.
9 Зрях дондеже престоли поставшася, и Ветхий денми седе, и одежда Его бела аки снег, и власи главы Его аки волна чиста, престол Его пламень огнен, колеса Его огнь палящь:
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.
10 река огненна течаше исходящи пред Ним: тысящя тысящ служаху Ему, и тмы тем предстояху Ему: судище седе, и книги отверзошася.
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.
11 Видех тогда от гласа словес великих, яже рог оный глаголаше, дондеже убися зверь и погибе, и тело его дадеся во сожжение огненно:
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.
12 и прочих зверей преставися власть, и продолжение жития дадеся им до времене и времене.
As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 Видех во сне нощию, и се, на облацех небесных яко Сын человечь идый бяше и даже до Ветхаго денми дойде и пред Него приведеся:
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.
14 и Тому дадеся власть и честь и царство, и вси людие, племена и языцы Тому поработают: власть Его власть вечная, яже не прейдет, и царство Его не разсыплется.
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.
15 Вострепета дух мой в состоянии моем, аз Даниил, и видения главы моея смущаху мя.
As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my mind troubled me.
16 И приидох ко единому от стоящих и известия просих от него научитися о всех сих. И поведа ми известие и сказание словес возвести ми:
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.
17 сии зверие велицыи четыри, четыри царства востанут на земли,
These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth.
18 яже возмутся: и преймут царство святии Вышняго и содержати будут оное даже до века веков.
But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.
19 И вопрошах испытно о звери четвертем, яко бяше различен паче всякаго зверя, страшен вельми, зубы его железни и ногти его медяни, ядый и истончевая, останки же ногама своима попираше:
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.
20 и о десяти розех его иже на главе его, и о друзем возшедшем и истрясшем первыя три, рог же той емуже очи и уста глаголюща великая, и видение его более прочиих:
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.
21 зрях, и рог той творяше рать со святыми и укрепися на них,
I saw, and the same horn made war with the holy ones, and prevailed against them,
22 дондеже прииде Ветхий денми и суд даде святым Вышняго: и время приспе, и царство прияша святии.
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.
23 И рече: зверь четвертый царство четвертое будет на земли, еже превзыдет вся царства и пояст всю зеемлю, и поперет ю и посечет:
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.
24 и десять рогов его десять царей востанут, и по них востанет другий, иже превзыдет злобами всех прежних и три цари смирит,
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.
25 и словеса на Вышняго возглаголет и святых Вышняго смирит, и помыслит пременити времена и закон, и дастся в руку его даже до времене и времен и полувремене:
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.
26 и судище сядет, и власть его преставят еже потребити и погубити до конца:
And the court shall sit in judgment, and they shall take away his dominion, consumed and completely destroyed forever.
27 царство же и власть и величество царей, иже под всем небесем, дастся святым Вышняго: и царство Его царство вечное, и вся власти Тому работати будут и слушати.
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.'
28 До зде скончание словесе. Аз Даниил, надолзе размышления моя смущаху мя, и зрак мой пременися на мне, и глагол в сердцы моем соблюдох.
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."
