1In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
1في السنة الاولى لبيلشاصر ملك بابل رأى دانيال حلما ورؤى راسه على فراشه. حينئذ كتب الحلم واخبر براس الكلام.
2Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
2اجاب دانيال وقال. كنت ارى في رؤياي ليلا واذا باربع رياح السماء هجمت على البحر الكبير.
3And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
3وصعد من البحر اربعة حيوانات عظيمة هذا مخالف ذاك.
4The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
4الاول كالاسد وله جناحا نسر. وكنت انظر حتى انتتف جناحاه وانتصب على الارض وأوقف على رجلين كانسان وأعطي قلب انسان.
5And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
5واذا بحيوان آخر ثان شبيه بالدب فارتفع على جنب واحد وفي فمه ثلاثة اضلع بين اسنانه فقالوا له هكذا. قم كل لحما كثيرا.
6After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
6وبعد هذا كنت ارى واذا بآخر مثل النمر وله على ظهره اربعة اجنحة طائر. وكان للحيوان اربعة رؤوس وأعطي سلطانا.
7After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
7بعد هذا كنت ارى في رؤى الليل واذا بحيوان رابع هائل وقوي وشديد جدا وله اسنان من حديد كبيرة. اكل وسحق وداس الباقي برجليه. وكان مخالفا لكل الحيوانات الذين قبله وله عشرة قرون.
8I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
8كنت متأملا بالقرون واذا بقرن آخر صغير طلع بينها وقلعت ثلاثة من القرون الاولى من قدامه واذا بعيون كعيون الانسان في هذا القرن وفم متكلم بعظائم.
9I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
9كنت ارى انه وضعت عروش وجلس القديم الايام. لباسه ابيض كالثلج وشعر راسه كالصوف النقي وعرشه لهيب نار وبكراته نار متقدة.
10A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
10نهر نار جرى وخرج من قدامه. ألوف ألوف تخدمه وربوات ربوات وقوف قدامه. فجلس الدين وفتحت الاسفار.
11I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
11كنت انظر حينئذ من اجل صوت الكلمات العظيمة التي تكلم بها القرن. كنت ارى الى ان قتل الحيوان وهلك جسمه ودفع لوقيد النار.
12As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
12اما باقي الحيوانات فنزع عنهم سلطانهم ولكن اعطوا طول حياة الى زمان ووقت
13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
13كنت ارى في رؤى الليل واذا مع سحب السماء مثل ابن انسان اتى وجاء الى القديم الايام فقربوه قدامه.
14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, 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.
14فأعطي سلطانا ومجدا وملكوتا لتتعبّد له كل الشعوب والامم والألسنة. سلطانه سلطان ابدي ما لن يزول وملكوته ما لا ينقرض
15I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
15اما انا دانيال فحزنت روحي في وسط جسمي وافزعتني رؤى راسي.
16I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
16فاقتربت الى واحد من الوقوف وطلبت منه الحقيقة في كل هذا. فاخبرني وعرّفني تفسير الامور.
17These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
17هؤلاء الحيوانات العظيمة التي هي اربعة هي اربعة ملوك يقومون على الارض.
18But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
18اما قديسوا العلي فيأخذون المملكة ويمتلكون المملكة الى الابد والى ابد الآبدين.
19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
19حينئذ رمت الحقيقة من جهة الحيوان الرابع الذي كان مخالفا لكلها وهائلا جدا واسنانه من حديد واظفاره من نحاس وقد اكل وسحق وداس الباقي برجليه.
20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
20وعن القرون العشرة التي براسه وعن الآخر الذي طلع فسقطت قدامه ثلاثة وهذا القرن له عيون وفم متكلم بعظائم ومنظره اشد من رفقائه.
21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
21وكنت انظر واذا هذا القرن يحارب القديسين فغلبهم
22Until 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.
22حتى جاء القديم الايام وأعطي الدين لقديسي العلي وبلغ الوقت فامتلك القديسون المملكة
23Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
23فقال هكذا. اما الحيوان الرابع فتكون مملكة رابعة على الارض مخالفة لسائر الممالك فتاكل الارض كلها وتدوسها وتسحقها.
24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
24والقرون العشرة من هذه المملكة هي عشرة ملوك يقومون ويقوم بعدهم آخر وهو مخالف الاولين ويذل ثلاثة ملوك.
25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
25ويتكلم بكلام ضد العلي ويبلي قديسي العلي ويظن انه يغيّر الاوقات والسّنّة ويسلمون ليده الى زمان وازمنة ونصف زمان.
26But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
26فيجلس الدين وينزعون عنه سلطانه ليفنوا ويبيدوا الى المنتهى.
27And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
27والمملكة والسلطان وعظمة المملكة تحت كل السماء تعطى لشعب قديسي العلي. ملكوته ملكوت ابدي وجميع السلاطين اياه يعبدون ويطيعون.
28Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
28الى هنا نهاية الامر. اما انا دانيال فافكاري افزعتني كثيرا وتغيّرت عليّ هيئتي وحفظت الأمر في قلبي
