< Daniel 7 >

1 Iti umuna a tawen ni Belsazar nga ari ti Babilonia, nagtagtagainep ni Daniel ken nakakita iti maysa a sirmata kabayatan a nakaidda isuna. Ket insuratna ti nakitana iti tagtagainepna. Insuratna dagiti kangrunaan a pasamak:
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 Impalawag ni Daniel, “Iti sirmatak iti rabii, nakitak dagiti uppat nga angin ti langit ket kibkiburenda ti nalawa a baybay.
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 Rimmuar manipud iti baybay dagiti uppat a dadakkel nga ayup, agduduma ti langa ti tunggal maysa.
Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
4 Kasla leon ti umuna ngem addaan kadagiti payak ti agila. Kabayatan a kitkitaek, naparut dagiti payakna ken naipangato iti rabaw ti daga ket nagtakder a kasla tao. Naikkan iti panunot a kasla iti tao.
“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 Kalpasanna adda iti maikadua nga ayup, kasla oso, ket nakadumog daytoy; addaan iti tallo a paragpag iti nagbaetan dagiti ngipen ken iti ngiwatna. Naibaga iti daytoy, 'Tumakderka ket mangalun-onka iti adu a tattao.'
“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 Kalpasan daytoy, kimmitaak manen. Adda iti sabali pay nga ayup, kasla leopardo ti langana. Addaan kadagiti uppat a payak iti bukotna a kasla kadagiti payak ti billit, ken addaan iti uppat nga ulo. Naikkan iti bileg a mangituray.
“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 Kalpasan daytoy nakitak iti tagtagainepko iti rabii ti maikapat nga ayup, nakabutbuteng, nakaam-amak, ken nakapigpigsa unay. Addaan iti dakkel a landok a ngipen; nangalun-on daytoy, nangrumek, ken impayat-payatna dagiti nabati. Naidumduma daytoy manipud kadagiti dadduma nga ayup, ken addaan kadagiti sangapulo a sara.
“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 Kabayatan a buybuyaek dagiti sara, kimmitaak ket nakitak ti sabali pay a sara nga agtubtubo iti nagbabaetanda, maysa a bassit a sara. Naparut ti tallo kadagiti immun-una a sara. Nakitak iti daytoy a sara dagiti mata a kasla kadagiti mata ti tao ken ngiwat nga agpalpalangguad maipanggep kadagiti naindaklan a banbanag.
“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 Bayat a kitkitaek, naisimpa dagiti trono, ket nagtugaw ti Sibibiag iti Agnanayon. Napudaw a kasla niebe ti kawesna, ket kasla puro a de lana ti buokna. Gumilgil-ayab nga apuy ti tronona, ken dagiti pilid daytoy ket dumardarang nga apuy.
“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 Agay-ayus nga apuy ti agtaud iti sangoananna; milyon dagiti agserserbi kenkuana, ken sangagasut a milyon ti nakatakder iti sangoananna. Nangrugi ti panangukom, ket nalukatan dagiti libro.
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 Intultuloyko ti kimmita gapu kadagiti napalangguad nga insao ti sara. Agbuybuyaak kabayatan a napapatay ti ayup, ket nadadael ti bagi daytoy, ket naiyawat daytoy tapno mapuoran.
“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 Ket dagiti dadduma kadagiti uppat nga ayup, naikkat ti panagturayda, ngem napalubosanda nga agbiag iti ababa a tiempo.
As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 Kadagiti sirmatak iti dayta a rabii, nakitak ti maysa nga um-umay a kaduana dagiti ulep ti langit a kasla iti anak ti tao; napan isuna iti Sibibiag iti Agnanayon ket naidatag iti sangoananna.
“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 Naited kenkuana ti bileg a mangituray ken dayag ken naarian a pannakabalin tapno dagiti amin a tattao, dagiti nasion, ken pagsasao ket rumbeng nga agserbi kenkuana. Ti bilegna a mangituray ket agnanayon a kinabileg a saan a mapukaw, ket saanto a madadael ti pagarianna.
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 No maipapan kaniak a ni Daniel, agladingit ti espirituk iti kaunggak, ket riniribuknak dagiti sirmata a nakitak iti panunotko.
“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 Immasidegak iti maysa kadakuada a nakatakder sadiay ket dinawatko kenkuana nga ipakitana kaniak ti kaipapanan dagitoy a banbanag.
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 Dagitoy a dadakkel nga ayup nga uppat iti bilangda, ket dagiti uppat nga ari a agturayto iti daga.
‘These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who will arise out of the earth.
18 Ngem awatento dagiti nasantoan a tattao ti Kangangatoan iti pagarian, ket tagikuaendanto iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana.'
But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’
19 Ket kayatko a maammoan ti ad-adu pay maipapan iti maikapat nga ayup—naidumduma daytoy manipud kadagiti dadduma ken nakabutbuteng unay gapu iti ngipenna a landok ken dagiti bronse a kuko daytoy; nangalun-on, nangrumek, ken impayatna ti nabati.
“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 Kayatko a maammoan ti maipapan kadagiti sangapulo a sara nga adda iti ulo daytoy, ken maipapan kadagiti sabali a sara a nagtubo sakbay a natinnag dagiti tallo a sara. Kayatko a maammoan ti maipapan iti sara nga addaan kadagiti mata ken iti ngiwat a nagpalpalangguad kadagiti naindaklan a banbanag ken kasla nabilbileg ngem kadagiti kakaduana.
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 Bayat a kitkitaek, ginubat daytoy a sara dagiti nasantoan a tattao ket pinarmekna ida
I saw, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them,
22 agingga nga immay ti Sibibiag iti Agnanayon, ket naited ti hustisia kadagiti nasantoan a tattao ti Kangangatoan. Ket dimtengen ti tiempo a panangawat dagiti nasantoan a tattao iti pagarian.
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 Kastoy ti kinuna dayta a tao, 'No maipapan iti maikapat nga ayup, daytoyto ti maikapat a pagarian iti daga a naidumduma manipud kadagiti dadduma a pagarian. Dadaelennanto ti entero a daga, ket ipayat ken rumekennanto daytoy.
“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 Maipapan kadagiti sangapulo a sara, manipud iti daytoy a pagarian ket tumaudto ti sangapulo nga ari, ket addanto pay iti tumaud a sumaruno kadakuada. Naidumdumanto isuna manipud iti immun-una, parmekennanto dagiti tallo nga ari.
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 Agsaonto isuna iti maibusor iti Kangangatoan ken idadanesnanto dagiti nasantoan a tattao ti Kangangatoan a Dios. Padasennanto a sukatan dagiti panagrambak ken ti linteg. Maiyawatto dagitoy a banbanag iti imana iti makatawen, dua a tawen ken kagudua a tawen.
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 Ngem mapasamakto ti panangukom, ket ikkatendanto ti naarian a pannakabalinna tapno mapukaw ken madadaelto iti kamaudianan.
“‘But the judgment will be set, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
27 Ti pagarian ken ti nasakupan, ken ti kinabileg dagiti pagarian nga adda iti babaen ti entero a langit, ket maitedto kadagiti tattao a kukua dagiti nasantoan a tattao ti Kangangatoan. Ti pagarianna ket agnanayon a pagarian, ket agserbi ken agtulnog kenkuana dagiti amin a pagarian.'
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 Ditoy ti nagpatinggaan ti banag. No maipapan kaniak a ni Daniel, riniribuknak unay dagiti kapanunotak ket nagbaliw ti langa ti rupak. Ngem awan nangibagbagaak kadagitoy a banbanag.”
“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.”
