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 the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account.
2 Impalawag ni Daniel, “Iti sirmatak iti rabii, nakitak dagiti uppat nga angin ti langit ket kibkiburenda ti nalawa a baybay.
Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea.
3 Rimmuar manipud iti baybay dagiti uppat a dadakkel nga ayup, agduduma ti langa ti tunggal maysa.
Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:
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 beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and given the mind of a man.
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.'
Suddenly another beast appeared, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. So it was told, ‘Get up and gorge yourself on 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.
Next, as I watched, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
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, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying—dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and 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.
While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
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.
As I continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
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 river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and 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.
Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing 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 beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life 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.
In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence.
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.
And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
15 No maipapan kaniak a ni Daniel, agladingit ti espirituk iti kaunggak, ket riniribuknak dagiti sirmata a nakitak iti panunotko.
I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me.
16 Immasidegak iti maysa kadakuada a nakatakder sadiay ket dinawatko kenkuana nga ipakitana kaniak ti kaipapanan dagitoy a banbanag.
I approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me the interpretation of these things:
17 Dagitoy a dadakkel nga ayup nga uppat iti bilangda, ket dagiti uppat nga ari a agturayto iti daga.
‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from 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 it forever—yes, 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 wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others—extremely terrifying—devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left.
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.
I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
21 Bayat a kitkitaek, ginubat daytoy a sara dagiti nasantoan a tattao ket pinarmekna ida
As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing 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 arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess 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.
This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it.
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.
And the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue 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 out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for 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 court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.
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.'
Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers 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.”
Thus ends the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. But I kept the matter to myself.”
