Daniel 7 (WEBP)

[1] In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
[2] Daniel spoke and said, “I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke out on the great sea.
[3] Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
[4] “The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet as a man. A man’s heart was given to it.
[5] “Behold, there was another animal, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. They said this to it: ‘Arise! Devour much flesh!’
[6] “After this I saw, and behold, another, 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] “After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there was a fourth animal, awesome, powerful, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the animals that were before it. It had ten horns.
[8] “I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogantly.
[9] “I watched until thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat. 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] A fiery stream issued and came out from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set. The books were opened.
[11] “I watched at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
[12] As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
[13] “I saw in the night visions, and behold, 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] Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be destroyed.
[15] “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
[16] I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. “So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
[17] ‘These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who will arise out of the earth.
[18] But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’
[19] “Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
[20] 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 arrogantly, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
[21] I saw, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them,
[22] until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
[23] “So he said, ‘The fourth animal will be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will tread it down and break it in pieces.
[24] As for the ten horns, ten kings will arise out of this kingdom. Another will arise after them; and he will be different from the former, and he will put down three kings.
[25] He will speak words against the Most High, and will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will plan to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
[26] “ ‘But the judgment will be set, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
[27] The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will serve and obey him.’
[28] “Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”

[1] εν ετει πρωτω βαλτασαρ βασιλεως χαλδαιων δανιηλ ενυπνιον ειδεν και αι ορασεις της κεφαλης αυτου επι της κοιτης αυτου και το ενυπνιον εγραψεν
[2] εγω δανιηλ εθεωρουν εν οραματι μου της νυκτος και ιδου οι τεσσαρες ανεμοι του ουρανου προσεβαλλον εις την θαλασσαν την μεγαλην
[3] και τεσσαρα θηρια μεγαλα ανεβαινον εκ της θαλασσης διαφεροντα αλληλων
[4] το πρωτον ωσει λεαινα και πτερα αυτη ωσει αετου εθεωρουν εως ου εξετιλη τα πτερα αυτης και εξηρθη απο της γης και επι ποδων ανθρωπου εσταθη και καρδια ανθρωπου εδοθη αυτη
[5] και ιδου θηριον δευτερον ομοιον αρκω και εις μερος εν εσταθη και τρια πλευρα εν τω στοματι αυτης ανα μεσον των οδοντων αυτης και ουτως ελεγον αυτη αναστηθι φαγε σαρκας πολλας
[6] οπισω τουτου εθεωρουν και ιδου ετερον θηριον ωσει παρδαλις και αυτη πτερα τεσσαρα πετεινου υπερανω αυτης και τεσσαρες κεφαλαι τω θηριω και εξουσια εδοθη αυτη
[7] οπισω τουτου εθεωρουν και ιδου θηριον τεταρτον φοβερον και εκθαμβον και ισχυρον περισσως και οι οδοντες αυτου σιδηροι μεγαλοι εσθιον και λεπτυνον και τα επιλοιπα τοις ποσιν αυτου συνεπατει και αυτο διαφορον περισσως παρα παντα τα θηρια τα εμπροσθεν αυτου και κερατα δεκα αυτω
[8] προσενοουν τοις κερασιν αυτου και ιδου κερας ετερον μικρον ανεβη εν μεσω αυτων και τρια κερατα των εμπροσθεν αυτου εξερριζωθη απο προσωπου αυτου και ιδου οφθαλμοι ωσει οφθαλμοι ανθρωπου εν τω κερατι τουτω και στομα λαλουν μεγαλα
[9] εθεωρουν εως οτου θρονοι ετεθησαν και παλαιος ημερων εκαθητο και το ενδυμα αυτου ωσει χιων λευκον και η θριξ της κεφαλης αυτου ωσει εριον καθαρον ο θρονος αυτου φλοξ πυρος οι τροχοι αυτου πυρ φλεγον
[10] ποταμος πυρος ειλκεν εμπροσθεν αυτου χιλιαι χιλιαδες ελειτουργουν αυτω και μυριαι μυριαδες παρειστηκεισαν αυτω κριτηριον εκαθισεν και βιβλοι ηνεωχθησαν
[11] εθεωρουν τοτε απο φωνης των λογων των μεγαλων ων το κερας εκεινο ελαλει εως ανηρεθη το θηριον και απωλετο και το σωμα αυτου εδοθη εις καυσιν πυρος
[12] και των λοιπων θηριων η αρχη μετεσταθη και μακροτης ζωης εδοθη αυτοις εως καιρου και καιρου
[13] εθεωρουν εν οραματι της νυκτος και ιδου μετα των νεφελων του ουρανου ως υιος ανθρωπου ερχομενος ην και εως του παλαιου των ημερων εφθασεν και ενωπιον αυτου προσηνεχθη
[14] και αυτω εδοθη η αρχη και η τιμη και η βασιλεια και παντες οι λαοι φυλαι γλωσσαι αυτω δουλευσουσιν η εξουσια αυτου εξουσια αιωνιος ητις ου παρελευσεται και η βασιλεια αυτου ου διαφθαρησεται
[15] εφριξεν το πνευμα μου εν τη εξει μου εγω δανιηλ και αι ορασεις της κεφαλης μου εταρασσον με
[16] και προσηλθον ενι των εστηκοτων και την ακριβειαν εζητουν παρ αυτου περι παντων τουτων και ειπεν μοι την ακριβειαν και την συγκρισιν των λογων εγνωρισεν μοι
[17] ταυτα τα θηρια τα μεγαλα τα τεσσαρα τεσσαρες βασιλειαι αναστησονται επι της γης αι αρθησονται
[18] και παραλημψονται την βασιλειαν αγιοι υψιστου και καθεξουσιν αυτην εως αιωνος των αιωνων
[19] και εζητουν ακριβως περι του θηριου του τεταρτου οτι ην διαφορον παρα παν θηριον φοβερον περισσως οι οδοντες αυτου σιδηροι και οι ονυχες αυτου χαλκοι εσθιον και λεπτυνον και τα επιλοιπα τοις ποσιν αυτου συνεπατει

[23] και ειπεν το θηριον το τεταρτον βασιλεια τεταρτη εσται εν τη γη ητις υπερεξει πασας τας βασιλειας και καταφαγεται πασαν την γην και συμπατησει αυτην και κατακοψει
[24] και τα δεκα κερατα αυτου δεκα βασιλεις αναστησονται και οπισω αυτων αναστησεται ετερος ος υπεροισει κακοις παντας τους εμπροσθεν και τρεις βασιλεις ταπεινωσει
[25] και λογους προς τον υψιστον λαλησει και τους αγιους υψιστου παλαιωσει και υπονοησει του αλλοιωσαι καιρους και νομον και δοθησεται εν χειρι αυτου εως καιρου και καιρων και ημισυ καιρου
[26] και το κριτηριον καθισει και την αρχην μεταστησουσιν του αφανισαι και του απολεσαι εως τελους
[27] και η βασιλεια και η εξουσια και η μεγαλωσυνη των βασιλεων των υποκατω παντος του ουρανου εδοθη αγιοις υψιστου και η βασιλεια αυτου βασιλεια αιωνιος και πασαι αι αρχαι αυτω δουλευσουσιν και υπακουσονται
[28] εως ωδε το περας του λογου εγω δανιηλ επι πολυ οι διαλογισμοι μου συνεταρασσον με και η μορφη μου ηλλοιωθη επ εμοι και το ρημα εν τη καρδια μου συνετηρησα
