Danielis 7

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Anno primo Balthasar regis Babylonis Daniel somnium vidit et visionemcapitis eius in cubili suo; tunc et somnium scripsit. Caput verborum, quaelocutus est.	1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, and told the sum of the matter.
2 Respondit Daniel et dixit: “ Videbam in visione mea nocte: etecce quattuor venti caeli conturbabant mare Magnum,	2 Daniel said, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.
3 et quattuor bestiaegrandes ascendebant de mari diversae inter se.	3 And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another.
4 Prima quasi leaena et alashabebat aquilae; aspiciebam, donec evulsae sunt alae eius; et sublata est deterra et super pedes quasi homo stetit, et cor hominis datum est ei.	4 The first was like a lion and had eagles' wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand upon two feet like a man; and the mind of a man was given to it.
5 Et eccebestia alia, secunda, similis urso in parte stetit, et tres costae erant in oreeius et in dentibus eius; et sic dicebant ei: “Surge, comede carnes plurimas”.	5 And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side; it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, 'Arise, devour much flesh.'
6 Post hoc aspiciebam, et ecce alia quasi pardus et alas habebat avis quattuorsuper se, et quattuor capita erant in bestia; et potestas data est ei.	6 After this I looked, and lo, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 Posthoc aspiciebam in visione noctis, et ecce bestia quarta terribilis atquemirabilis et fortis nimis; dentes ferreos habebat magnos, comedens atquecomminuens et reliqua pedibus suis conculcans; dissimilis autem erat ceterisbestiis, quas videram ante eam, et habebat cornua decem.	7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and dreadful and exceedingly strong; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 Considerabam cornua,et ecce cornu aliud parvulum ortum est de medio eorum, et tria de cornibusprimis evulsa sunt a facie eius; et ecce oculi quasi oculi hominis erant incornu isto, et os loquens ingentia.	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 great things.
9 Aspiciebam, donec throni positi sunt, et Antiquus dierum sedit. Vestimentum eius quasi nix candidum, et capilli capitis eius quasi lana munda; thronus eius flammae ignis, rotae eius ignis accensus.	9 As I looked, thrones were placed and one that was ancient of days took his seat; his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire.
10 Fluvius igneus effluebat et egrediebatur a facie eius; milia milium ministrabant ei, et decies milies centena milia assistebant ei: iudicium sedit, et libri aperti sunt.	10 A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.
11 Aspiciebam tunc propter vocem sermonum grandium, quos cornu illud loquebatur;et vidi quoniam interfecta esset bestia, et perisset corpus eius, et traditaesset ad comburendum igni;	11 I looked then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.
12 aliarum quoque bestiarum ablata esset potestas, ettempora vitae constituta essent eis usque ad tempus et tempus.	12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 Aspiciebam ergo in visione noctis: et ecce cum nubibus caeli quasi Filius hominis veniebat et usque ad Antiquum dierum pervenit, et in conspectu eius obtulerunt eum;	13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.
14 et data sunt ei potestas et honor et regnum; et omnes populi, tribus et linguae ipsi servierunt: potestas eius potestas aeterna, quae non auferetur, et regnum eius, quod non corrumpetur.	14 And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
15 Horruit spiritus meus: ego Daniel territus sum in his, et visiones capitismei conturbaverunt me.	15 "As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious and the visions of my head alarmed me.
16 Accessi ad unum de assistentibus et veritatemquaerebam ab eo de omnibus his; qui dixit mihi et interpretationem sermonumedocuit me:	16 I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
17 “Hae bestiae magnae quattuor, quattuor regna consurgent deterra;	17 'These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.
18 suscipient autem regnum sancti Dei altissimi et obtinebunt regnumusque in saeculum et saeculum saeculorum”.	18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, for ever and ever.'
19 Post hoc volui diligenter discere de bestia quarta, quae erat dissimilisvalde ab omnibus his et terribilis nimis, dentes ferrei et ungues eius aerei,comedens et comminuens et reliquias pedibus suis conculcans,	19 "Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly terrible, with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze; and which devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
20 et de cornibusdecem, quae habebat in capite, et de alio, quod ortum fuerat ante, et cecideranttria cornua, de cornu illo, quod habebat oculos et os loquens grandia et maiuserat ceteris.	20 and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up and before which three of them fell, the horn which had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and which seemed greater than its fellows.
21 Aspiciebam, et ecce cornu illud faciebat bellum adversussanctos et praevalebat eis,	21 As I looked, this horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them,
22 donec venit Antiquus dierum et iudicium deditsanctis Excelsi, et tempus advenit, et regnum obtinuerunt sancti.	22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints received the kingdom.
23 Et sic ait:“Bestia quarta regnum quartum erit in terra, quod maius erit omnibus regnis etdevorabit universam terram et conculcabit et comminuet eam.	23 "Thus he said: 'As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces.
24 Porro cornuadecem regni decem reges erunt; et alius consurget post eos et ipse potentiorerit prioribus et tres reges humiliabit	24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings.
25 et sermones contra Excelsum loqueturet sanctos Altissimi conteret et putabit quod possit mutare tempora et legem, ettradentur in manu eius usque ad tempus et tempora et dimidium temporis;	25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, two times, and half a time.
26 etiudicium sedebit, et potentiam eius auferent, ut conteratur et dispereat usquein finem;	26 But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end.
27 regnum autem et potestas et magnitudo regnorum, quae sunt subteromne caelum, detur populo sanctorum Altissimi, cuius regnum regnum sempiternumest, et omnes reges servient ei et oboedient” ”.	27 And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'
28 Hucusque finis verbi.Ego Daniel multum cogitationibus meis conturbabar, et facies mea mutata est inme; verbum autem in corde meo conservavi.	28 "Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me, and my color changed; but I kept the matter in my mind."
