ΔΑΝΙΗΛ - Daniele - Daniel 7

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ετους πρωτου βασιλευοντος βαλτασαρ χωρας βαβυλωνιας δανιηλ οραμα ειδε παρα κεφαλην επι της κοιτης αυτου τοτε δανιηλ το οραμα ο ειδεν εγραψεν εις κεφαλαια λογων	1 In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and a vision in his head on his bed. And, writing down the dream, he understood it in a concise manner, and so, summarizing it tersely, he said:
2 επι της κοιτης μου εθεωρουν καθ' υπνους νυκτος και ιδου τεσσαρες ανεμοι του ουρανου ενεπεσον εις την θαλασσαν την μεγαλην	2 I saw in my vision at night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens fought upon the great sea.
3 και τεσσαρα θηρια ανεβαινον εκ της θαλασσης διαφεροντα εν παρα το εν	3 And four great beasts, different from one another, ascended from the sea.
4 το πρωτον ωσει λεαινα εχουσα πτερα ωσει αετου εθεωρουν εως οτου ετιλη τα πτερα αυτης και ηρθη απο της γης και επι ποδων ανθρωπινων εσταθη και ανθρωπινη καρδια εδοθη αυτη	4 The first was like a lioness and had the wings of an eagle. I watched as its wings were plucked off, and it was raised from the earth and stood on its feet like a man, and the heart of a man was given to it.
5 και ιδου μετ' αυτην αλλο θηριον ομοιωσιν εχον αρκου και επι του ενος πλευρου εσταθη και τρια πλευρα ην εν τω στοματι αυτης και ουτως ειπεν αναστα καταφαγε σαρκας πολλας	5 And behold, another beast, like a bear, stood to one side, and there were three rows in its mouth and in its teeth, and they spoke to it in this way: “Arise, devour much flesh.”
6 και μετα ταυτα εθεωρουν θηριον αλλο ωσει παρδαλιν και πτερα τεσσαρα επετεινον επανω αυτου και τεσσαρες κεφαλαι τω θηριω και γλωσσα εδοθη αυτω	6 After this, I watched, and behold, another like a leopard, and it had wings like a bird, four upon it, and four heads were on the beast, and power was given to it.
7 μετα δε ταυτα εθεωρουν εν οραματι της νυκτος θηριον τεταρτον φοβερον και ο φοβος αυτου υπερφερων ισχυι εχον οδοντας σιδηρους μεγαλους εσθιον και κοπανιζον κυκλω τοις ποσι καταπατουν διαφορως χρωμενον παρα παντα τα προ αυτου θηρια ειχε δε κερατα δεκα	7 After this, I watched in the vision of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible yet wondrous, and exceedingly strong; it had great iron teeth, eating yet crushing, and trampling down the remainder with his feet, but it was unlike the other beasts, which I had seen before it, and it had ten horns.
8 και βουλαι πολλαι εν τοις κερασιν αυτου και ιδου αλλο εν κερας ανεφυη ανα μεσον αυτων μικρον εν τοις κερασιν αυτου και τρια των κερατων των πρωτων εξηρανθησαν δι' αυτου και ιδου οφθαλμοι ωσπερ οφθαλμοι ανθρωπινοι εν τω κερατι τουτω και στομα λαλουν μεγαλα και εποιει πολεμον προς τους αγιους	8 I considered the horns, and behold, another little horn rose out of the midst of them. And three of the first horns were rooted out by its presence. And behold, eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking unnatural things.
9 εθεωρουν εως οτε θρονοι ετεθησαν και παλαιος ημερων εκαθητο εχων περιβολην ωσει χιονα και το τριχωμα της κεφαλης αυτου ωσει εριον λευκον καθαρον ο θρονος ωσει φλοξ πυρος	9 I watched until thrones were set up, and the ancient of days sat down. His garment was radiant like snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool; his throne was flames of fire, its wheels had been set on fire.
10 και εξεπορευετο κατα προσωπον αυτου ποταμος πυρος χιλιαι χιλιαδες εθεραπευον αυτον και μυριαι μυριαδες παρειστηκεισαν αυτω και κριτηριον εκαθισε και βιβλοι ηνεωχθησαν	10 A river of fire rushed forth from his presence. Thousands upon thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times hundreds of thousands attended before him. The trial began, and the books were opened.
11 εθεωρουν τοτε την φωνην των λογων των μεγαλων ων το κερας ελαλει και απετυμπανισθη το θηριον και απωλετο το σωμα αυτου και εδοθη εις καυσιν πυρος	11 I watched because of the voice of the great words which that horn was speaking, and I saw that the beast had been destroyed, and its body was ruined and had been handed over to be burnt with fire.
12 και τους κυκλω αυτου απεστησε της εξουσιας αυτων και χρονος ζωης εδοθη αυτοις εως χρονου και καιρου	12 Likewise, the power of the other beasts was taken away, and a limited time of life was appointed to them, until one time and another.
13 εθεωρουν εν οραματι της νυκτος και ιδου επι των νεφελων του ουρανου ως υιος ανθρωπου ηρχετο και ως παλαιος ημερων παρην και οι παρεστηκοτες παρησαν αυτω	13 I watched, therefore, in the vision of the night, and behold, with the clouds of heaven, one like a son of man arrived, and he approached all the way to the ancient of days, and they presented him before him.
14 και εδοθη αυτω εξουσια και παντα τα εθνη της γης κατα γενη και πασα δοξα αυτω λατρευουσα και η εξουσια αυτου εξουσια αιωνιος ητις ου μη αρθη και η βασιλεια αυτου ητις ου μη φθαρη	14 And he gave him power, and honor, and the kingdom, and all peoples, tribes, and languages will serve him. His power is an eternal power, which will not be taken away, and his kingdom, one which will not be corrupted.
15 και ακηδιασας εγω δανιηλ εν τουτοις εν τω οραματι της νυκτος	15 My spirit was terrified. I, Daniel, was fearful at these things, and the visions of my head disturbed me.
16 προσηλθον προς ενα των εστωτων και την ακριβειαν εζητουν παρ' αυτου υπερ παντων τουτων αποκριθεις δε λεγει μοι και την κρισιν των λογων εδηλωσε μοι	16 I approached one of the attendants and asked the truth from him about all these things. He told me the interpretation of the words, and he instructed me:
17 ταυτα τα θηρια τα μεγαλα εισι τεσσαρες βασιλειαι αι απολουνται απο της γης	17 “These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which will rise from the earth.
18 και παραληψονται την βασιλειαν αγιοι υψιστου και καθεξουσι την βασιλειαν εως του αιωνος και εως του αιωνος των αιωνων	18 Yet it is the saints of the Most High God who will receive the kingdom, and they will hold the kingdom from this generation, and forever and ever.”
19 τοτε ηθελον εξακριβασασθαι περι του θηριου του τεταρτου του διαφθειροντος παντα και υπερφοβου και ιδου οι οδοντες αυτου σιδηροι και οι ονυχες αυτου χαλκοι κατεσθιοντες παντας κυκλοθεν και καταπατουντες τοις ποσι	19 After this, I wanted to learn diligently about the fourth beast, which was very different from all, and exceedingly terrible; his teeth and claws were of iron; he devoured and crushed, and the remainder he trampled with his feet;
20 και περι των δεκα κερατων αυτου των επι της κεφαλης και του ενος του αλλου του προσφυεντος και εξεπεσαν δι' αυτου τρια και το κερας εκεινο ειχεν οφθαλμους και στομα λαλουν μεγαλα και η προσοψις αυτου υπερεφερε τα αλλα	20 and about the ten horns, which he had on his head, and about the other, which had sprung up, before which three horns fell, and about that horn which had eyes and a mouth speaking great things, and which was more powerful than the rest.
21 και κατενοουν το κερας εκεινο πολεμον συνισταμενον προς τους αγιους και τροπουμενον αυτους	21 I watched, and behold, that horn made war against the holy ones and prevailed over them,
22 εως του ελθειν τον παλαιον ημερων και την κρισιν εδωκε τοις αγιοις του υψιστου και ο καιρος εδοθη και το βασιλειον κατεσχον οι αγιοι	22 until the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the holy ones of the Supreme One, and the time arrived, and the holy ones obtained the kingdom.
23 και ερρεθη μοι περι του θηριου του τεταρτου οτι βασιλεια τεταρτη εσται επι της γης ητις διοισει παρα πασαν την γην και αναστατωσει αυτην και καταλεανει αυτην	23 And thus he said, “The fourth beast will be the fourth kingdom on earth, which will be greater than all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will trample and crush it.
24 και τα δεκα κερατα της βασιλειας δεκα βασιλεις στησονται και ο αλλος βασιλευς μετα τουτους στησεται και αυτος διοισει κακοις υπερ τους πρωτους και τρεις βασιλεις ταπεινωσει	24 Moreover, the ten horns of the same kingdom will be ten kings, and another will rise up after them, and he will be mightier than the ones before him, and he will bring down three kings.
25 και ρηματα εις τον υψιστον λαλησει και τους αγιους του υψιστου κατατριψει και προσδεξεται αλλοιωσαι καιρους και νομον και παραδοθησεται παντα εις τας χειρας αυτου εως καιρου και καιρων και εως ημισους καιρου	25 And he will speak words against the Supreme One, and will exhaust the holy ones of the Most High, and he will think about what it would take to change the times and the laws, and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time.
26 και η κρισις καθισεται και την εξουσιαν απολουσι και βουλευσονται μιαναι και απολεσαι εως τελους	26 And a trial will begin, so that his power may be taken away, and be crushed, and be undone all the way to the end.
27 και την βασιλειαν και την εξουσιαν και την μεγαλειοτητα αυτων και την αρχην πασων των υπο τον ουρανον βασιλειων εδωκε λαω αγιω υψιστου βασιλευσαι βασιλειαν αιωνιον και πασαι αι εξουσιαι αυτω υποταγησονται και πειθαρχησουσιν αυτω	27 Yet the kingdom, and the power, and the greatness of that kingdom, which is under all of heaven, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings will serve and obey him.”
28 εως καταστροφης του λογου εγω δανιηλ σφοδρα εκστασει περιειχομην και η εξις μου διηνεγκεν εμοι και το ρημα εν καρδια μου εστηριξα	28 And here is the end of the message. I, Daniel, was greatly disturbed by my thoughts, and my mood was changed in me, but I preserved the message in my heart.
