Daniel 7
1 Sa unang taon ni haring Belsazar ng Babilonia, nagkaroon si Daniel ng panaginip at mga pangitain habang siya ay nakahiga sa kaniyang higaan. Pagkatapos, isinulat niya kung ano ang kaniyang nakita sa panaginip. Isinulat niya ang mga pinakamahalagang kaganapan.
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 Ipinaliwanag ni Daniel, “Sa aking pangitain kagabi, nakita ko na pinapagalaw ng apat na hangin ng langit ang malaking dagat.
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 Lumitaw mula sa dagat ang apat na malalaking hayop, bawat isa ay hindi magkakapareho
And four great beasts came up from the sea, differing one from another.
4 Ang una ay tulad ng isang leon ngunit mayroong mga pakpak ng agila. Habang ako ay nagmamasid, natanggal ang mga pakpak nito at iniangat ito mula sa lupa at pinatayo sa dalawang paa tulad ng tao. Ibinigay rito ang pag-iisip ng isang tao.
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 At mayroong ikalawang hayop na tulad ng isang oso, nakayuko at mayroon itong tatlong tadyang sa pagitan ng mga ngipin sa bunganga nito. Sinabihan ito na, “Tumayo ka at lamunin ang maraming tao.'
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 Pagkatapos, muli akong tumingin. Mayroon pang isang hayop na kahawig ng isang leopardo. Sa likod nito ay mayroong apat na pakpak na tulad ng mga pakpak ng ibon at mayroon itong apat na ulo. Binigyan ito ng karapatan upang mamahala.
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 Pagkatapos nito, nakita ko sa aking panaginip kagabi ang ika-apat na hayop na nakakasindak, nakakatakot at napakalakas. Mayroon itong malaking bakal na ngipin. Lumalamon ito, dumudurog ng mga piraso at tinapak-tapakan ang natira. Kakaiba ito sa iba pang mga hayop at mayroon itong sampung sungay.
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 Habang pinagmamasdan ko ang mga sungay, tumingin ako at nakita ko ang isa pang sungay na tumubo mula sa kanila, isang maliit na sungay. Tatlo mula sa mga sungay ang pinihit palabas sa kanilang mga ugat. Nakita ko sa sungay na ito ang mga mata na tulad ng mga mata ng tao at isang bibig na nagmamayabang tungkol sa dakilang mga bagay.
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 Habang nakatingin ako, inihanda ang mga trono sa lugar nito at naupo sa kaniyang upuan ang Sinaunang mga Araw. Kasing puti ng niyebe ang kaniyang damit at ang buhok sa kaniyang ulo ay tulad ng balahibo ng tupa. Nagliliyab na apoy ang kaniyang trono at nagliliyab na apoy ang mga gulong nito.
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 Isang ilog na apoy ang umaagos palabas sa kaniyang harapan, milyon-milyon ang naglilingkod sa kaniya, at isang daang milyon ang nakatayo sa kaniyang harapan. Nasa pagpupulong ang hukuman at nabuksan ang mga libro.
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 Patuloy akong tumingin dahil sa mayayabang na mga salitang binanggit ng sungay. Pinanood ko ang hayop habang pinapatay, nawasak ang katawan nito at ibinigay upang sunugin.
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 Para sa mga natitira sa apat na hayop, inalis ang kanilang kapangyarihan ng pamamahala, ngunit pinahaba ang kanilang buhay para sa nalalabing panahon.
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 Sa aking pangitain nang gabing iyon, nakita ko ang isang dumarating kasabay ang mga ulap ng langit tulad ng isang anak ng tao. Lumapit siya sa Sinaunang mga Araw at iniharap siya sa kaniya.
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 Ibinigay sa kaniya ang karapatan upang mamuno, ang kaluwalhatian at ang makaharing kapangyarihan upang ang lahat ng mga tao, mga bansa, at mga wika ay dapat maglingkod sa kaniya. Walang hanggan ang kaniyang karapatang mamuno na hindi lilipas at hindi kailanman mawawasak ang kaniyang kaharian.
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 Ngunit para sa akin, na si Daniel, nagdadalamhati sa aking kaloob-looban ang aking espiritu at ginagambala ako ng mga pangitain na aking nakita sa aking isipan.
My spirit was deeply shaken within me, Daniel, in the midst of its tenement, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 Nilapitan ko ang isa sa kanila na nakatayo roon at hiniling ko sa kaniya na ipakita sa akin ang kahulugan ng mga bagay na ito.
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 Ang malalaking hayop na ito, na apat ang bilang, ay apat na haring manggagaling mula sa daigdig.
These great beasts, of which there are four, are four kings, who are to arise on the earth.
18 Ngunit tatanggapin ng mga taong banal ng Kataas-taasan ang kaharian at aangkinin nila ito magpakailanman.
But the saints of the Most High will obtain the kingdom, and possess the kingdom to eternity, even to all eternity for ever.
19 At nais ko pang malaman ang tungkol sa ikaapat na hayop, labis itong kakaiba sa mga iba at labis na kakila-kilabot ang bakal na ngipin at ang tansong mga kuko nito. Lumalamon ito, dumudurog ng mga piraso at tinatapakan ang anumang natira.
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 Nais kong malaman ang tungkol sa sampung sungay sa kaniyang ulo at ang tungkol sa ibang sungay na tumubo bago pa mahulog ang tatlong sungay. Nais ko pang malaman ang tungkol sa sungay na mayroong mga mata at tungkol sa bibig na nagyayabang tungkol sa mga dakilang mga bagay na parang mas nakatataas ito sa kaniyang mga kasamahan.
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 Habang nakatingin ako, nagtaguyod ng digmaan ang sungay na ito laban sa mga taong banal at tinatalo ang mga ito
I had seen how the same horn had made war with the saints, and had prevailed against them:
22 hanggang dumating ang Sinaunang mga Araw at ibinigay ang katarungan sa mga taong banal ng Kataas-taasan. At dumating ang panahon na tinanggap ng mga taong banal ang kaharian.
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 Ito ang sinabi ng taong iyon, 'Ngunit para sa ikaapat na hayop, magiging ikaapat na kaharian ito sa daigdig na magiging kakaiba mula sa iba pang mga kaharian. Lalamunin, aapakan at dudurugin nito nang pira-piraso ang buong daigdig.
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 Ngunit para sa sampung sungay, mula sa kahariang ito manggagaling ang sampung hari at isa pa ang lilitaw pagkatapos nila. Magiging kakaiba siya mula sa mga nauna. At masasakop niya ang tatlong hari.
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 Magsasabi siya ng mga salita laban sa Kataas-taasan at aapihin niya ang mga taong banal ng Kataas-taasang Diyos. Susubukan niyang palitan ang mga pagdiriwang at ang kautusan. Maibibigay ang mga bagay na ito sa kaniyang mga kamay sa isang taon, dalawang taon at kalahating taon.
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 Ngunit magpupulong ang hukuman at kukunin ang kaniyang makaharing kapangyarihan upang tupukin at wasakin sa huli.
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 Maibibigay sa mga taong kabilang sa mga banal na tao ng Kataas-taasan ang kaharian, at ang kapangyarihan, ang mga kadakilaan ng mga kaharian sa ibaba ng buong kalangitan. Walang hanggang kaharian ang kaniyang kaharian, paglilingkuran at susundin siya ng lahat ng iba pang mga kaharian.
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 Narito ang katapusan ng lahat ng bagay. Ngunit para sa akin, na si Daniel, labis na nabahala ang aking isipan at nabago ang itsura ng aking mukha. Ngunit itinago ko ang mga bagay na ito sa aking sarili.”
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.
