Книга пророка Даниила 7
1 В первое лето Валтасара царя Халдейска, Даниил сон виде и видения главы его на ложи его, и сон свой вписа:
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream; he told the sum of the matters.
2 аз Даниил видех в видении моем нощию: и се, четыри ветри небеснии налегоша на море великое,
Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens broke forth upon the great sea.
3 и четыри зверие велицыи исхождаху из моря, различни между собою:
And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.
4 первый аки львица имый криле, криле же его аки орли, зрях, дондеже исторжена быша крила его, и воздвижеся от земли, и на ногу человечу ста, и сердце человечо дадеся ему:
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till its wings were plucked; and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 и се, зверь вторый подобен медведице, и на стране единей ста, и три ребра во устех его, среде зубов его, и сице глаголаху ему: востани, яждь плоти многи:
And behold, another beast, a second, like unto a bear, and it raised up itself on one side; and [it had] three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and they said thus unto it: Arise, devour much flesh.
6 созади сего видех: и се, зверь ин аки рысь, томуже крила четыри птичия над ним и четыри главы зверю, и власть дадеся ему:
After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 созади сего видех: и се, зверь четвертый страшен и ужасен и крепок излиха, зубы же его железни велии, ядый и истончевая, останки же ногама своима попираше, тойже различаяся излиха паче всех зверей прежних, и рогов десять ему:
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceeding strong; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 разсмотрях в розех его, и се, рог другий мал взыде среде их, и трие рози преднии его исторгнушася от лица его, и се, очи аки очи человечи в розе том, и уста глаголюща великая.
I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another, a little horn, 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 Зрях дондеже престоли поставшася, и Ветхий денми седе, и одежда Его бела аки снег, и власи главы Его аки волна чиста, престол Его пламень огнен, колеса Его огнь палящь:
I beheld till thrones were set, and the Ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was flames of fire, [and] its wheels burning fire.
10 река огненна течаше исходящи пред Ним: тысящя тысящ служаху Ему, и тмы тем предстояху Ему: судище седе, и книги отверзошася.
A stream of fire 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.
11 Видех тогда от гласа словес великих, яже рог оный глаголаше, дондеже убися зверь и погибе, и тело его дадеся во сожжение огненно:
I beheld therefore, because of the voice of the great words that the horn spoke; I beheld till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given up to be burned with fire.
12 и прочих зверей преставися власть, и продолжение жития дадеся им до времене и времене.
As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 Видех во сне нощию, и се, на облацех небесных яко Сын человечь идый бяше и даже до Ветхаго денми дойде и пред Него приведеся:
I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven [one] like a son of man, and he came up even to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 и Тому дадеся власть и честь и царство, и вси людие, племена и языцы Тому поработают: власть Его власть вечная, яже не прейдет, и царство Его не разсыплется.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, 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.
15 Вострепета дух мой в состоянии моем, аз Даниил, и видения главы моея смущаху мя.
As for me Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 И приидох ко единому от стоящих и известия просих от него научитися о всех сих. И поведа ми известие и сказание словес возвести ми:
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the certainty of all this. And he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:
17 сии зверие велицыи четыри, четыри царства востанут на земли,
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, [that] shall arise out of the earth.
18 яже возмутся: и преймут царство святии Вышняго и содержати будут оное даже до века веков.
But the saints of the most high [places] shall receive the kingdom, and they shall possess the kingdom for ever, even to the ages of ages.
19 И вопрошах испытно о звери четвертем, яко бяше различен паче всякаго зверя, страшен вельми, зубы его железни и ногти его медяни, ядый и истончевая, останки же ногама своима попираше:
Then I desired to know the certainty concerning the fourth beast, which was different from them all, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet;
20 и о десяти розех его иже на главе его, и о друзем возшедшем и истрясшем первыя три, рог же той емуже очи и уста глаголюща великая, и видение его более прочиих:
and concerning the ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and before which three fell: even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose look was more imposing than its fellows.
21 зрях, и рог той творяше рать со святыми и укрепися на них,
I beheld, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them;
22 дондеже прииде Ветхий денми и суд даде святым Вышняго: и время приспе, и царство прияша святии.
until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most high [places]; and the appointed time arrived, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 И рече: зверь четвертый царство четвертое будет на земли, еже превзыдет вся царства и пояст всю зеемлю, и поперет ю и посечет:
He said thus: The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 и десять рогов его десять царей востанут, и по них востанет другий, иже превзыдет злобами всех прежних и три цари смирит,
And as to the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall arise ten kings; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be different from the former, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 и словеса на Вышняго возглаголет и святых Вышняго смирит, и помыслит пременити времена и закон, и дастся в руку его даже до времене и времен и полувремене:
And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most high [places], and think to change seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and a half time.
26 и судище сядет, и власть его преставят еже потребити и погубити до конца:
And the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
27 царство же и власть и величество царей, иже под всем небесем, дастся святым Вышняго: и царство Его царство вечное, и вся власти Тому работати будут и слушати.
But the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavens, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most high [places]. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
28 До зде скончание словесе. Аз Даниил, надолзе размышления моя смущаху мя, и зрак мой пременися на мне, и глагол в сердцы моем соблюдох.
So far is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.
