Dn 7:1Annō prīmō Baltassar rēgis Babylōnis, Daniēl somnium vīdit: vīsiō autem capitis ejus in cubīlī suō: et somnium scrībēns, brevī sermōne comprehendit: summātimque perstringēns, ait: Vidēbam in vīsiōne meā nocte: et ecce quatuor ventī caelī pugnābant in marī magnō.In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream: and the vision of his head was on his bed: and writing the dream, he gathered it in a brief account: and touching on it in summary, he said: I was looking in my vision by night: and behold, the four winds of heaven were fighting on the great sea. Dn 7:3Et quatuor bēstiae grandēs ascendēbant dē marī dīversae inter sē.And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another. Dn 7:4Prīma quasi leaena, et alās habēbat aquilae: aspiciēbam dōnec ēvulsae sunt alae ejus, et sublāta est dē terrā, et super pedēs quasi homō stetit;The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I was watching until its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted from the earth, and stood on its feet like a man; Dn 7:4Et cor hominis datum est eī.and the heart of a man was given to it.
Dn 7:5Et ecce bēstia alia similis ursō in parte stetit: et trēs ōrdinēs erant in ōre ejus, et in dentibus ejus, et sīc dīcēbant eī: Surge, comede carnēs plūrimās.And behold, another beast, like a bear, stood on one side: and there were three rows in its mouth, and in its teeth, and they were speaking thus to it: "Arise, eat very much flesh." Dn 7:6Post haec aspiciēbam, et ecce alia quasi pardus, et alās habēbat quasi avis, quatuor super sē: et quatuor capita erant in bēstiā, et potestās data est eī.After these things I was watching, and behold, another, like a leopard, and it had wings like a bird, four upon it: and there were four heads on the beast, and power was given to it. Dn 7:7Post haec aspiciēbam in vīsiōne noctis, et ecce bēstia quarta terribilis atque mīrābilis, et fortis nimis: dentēs ferreōs habēbat magnōs, comedēns atque comminuēns, et reliqua pedibus suīs conculcāns: dissimilis autem erat cēterīs bēstiīs quās vīderam ante eam, et habēbat cornua decem.After these things I was watching in the vision of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and wondrous, and exceedingly strong: it had great teeth of iron, eating and breaking in pieces, and trampling the rest with its feet: but it was unlike the other beasts which I had seen before it, and it had ten horns.
Dn 7:8Cōnsīderābam cornua, et ecce cornū aliud parvulum ortum est dē mediō eōrum: et tria dē cornibus prīmīs ēvulsa sunt ā faciē ejus: et ecce oculī, quasi oculī hominis erant in cornū istō, et ōs loquēns ingentia.I was considering the horns, and behold, another little horn arose from the middle of them: and three of the first horns were plucked out before its face: and behold, eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking huge things. Dn 7:9Aspiciēbam dōnec thronī positī sunt, et antīquus diērum sēdit.I was watching until thrones were set, and the Ancient of days sat. Dn 7:9Vestīmentum ejus candidum quasi nix, et capillī capitis ejus quasi lāna munda: thronus ejus flammae ignis: rotae ejus ignis accēnsus.His garment was white as snow, and the hairs of his head like clean wool: his throne flames of fire: its wheels burning fire. Dn 7:10Fluvius igneus rapidusque ēgrediēbātur ā faciē ejus.A river of fire, swift, was going out from his face. Dn 7:10Mīllia mīllium ministrābant eī, et deciēs mīlliēs centēna mīllia assistēbant eī: jūdicium sēdit, et librī apertī sunt.Thousands of thousands were ministering to him, and ten thousand times hundreds of thousands were standing by him: the judgement sat, and the books were opened.
Dn 7:11Aspiciēbam propter vōcem sermōnum grandium, quōs cornū illud loquēbātur: et vīdī quoniam interfecta esset bēstia, et perīsset corpus ejus, et trāditum esset ad combūrendum ignī: aliārum quoque bēstiārum ablāta esset potestās, et tempora vītae cōnstitūta essent eīs ūsque ad tempus et tempus.I was watching on account of the voice of the great words which that horn was speaking: and I saw that the beast had been killed, and its body had perished, and had been handed over to the fire for burning: of the other beasts too the power had been taken away, and times of life had been appointed for them up to a time and a time. Dn 7:13Aspiciēbam ergō in vīsiōne noctis, et ecce cum nūbibus caelī quasi fīlius hominis veniēbat, et ūsque ad antīquum diērum pervēnit: et in cōnspectū ejus obtulērunt eum.So I was watching in the vision of the night, and behold, with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man was coming, and he reached right up to the Ancient of days: and in his sight they presented him.
Dn 7:14Et dedit eī potestātem, et honōrem, et regnum: et omnēs populī, tribūs, et linguae ipsī servient: potestās ejus, potestās aeterna, quae nōn auferētur: et regnum ejus, quod nōn corrumpētur.And he gave him power, and honour, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes, and tongues will serve him: his power is an eternal power, which will not be taken away: and his kingdom one which will not be corrupted. Dn 7:15Horruit spīritus meus: ego Daniēl territus sum in hīs, et vīsiōnēs capitis meī conturbāvērunt mē.My spirit shuddered: I, Daniel, was terrified at these things, and the visions of my head troubled me. Dn 7:16Accessī ad ūnum dē assistentibus, et vēritātem quaerēbam ab eō dē omnibus hīs.I approached one of those standing by, and I was seeking the truth from him about all these things. Dn 7:16Quī dīxit mihi interpretātiōnem sermōnum, et docuit mē: Hae quatuor bēstiae magnae, quatuor sunt regna, quae cōnsurgent dē terrā.He told me the interpretation of the words, and taught me: "These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which will rise up from the earth. Dn 7:18Suscipient autem regnum sānctī Deī altissimī, et obtinēbunt regnum ūsque in saeculum, et saeculum saeculōrum.But the saints of the most high God will receive the kingdom, and they will hold the kingdom right up to the age, and the age of ages."
Dn 7:19Post hoc voluī dīligenter discere dē bēstiā quartā, quae erat dissimilis valdē ab omnibus, et terribilis nimis: dentēs et unguēs ejus ferreī: comedēbat, et comminuēbat, et reliqua pedibus suīs conculcābat: et dē cornibus decem, quae habēbat in capite, et dē aliō, quod ortum fuerat, ante quod ceciderant tria cornua: et dē cornū illō, quod habēbat oculōs, et ōs loquēns grandia, et mājus erat cēterīs.After this I wished to learn carefully about the fourth beast, which was very unlike all the others, and exceedingly terrible: its teeth and claws were of iron: it was eating, and breaking in pieces, and trampling the rest with its feet: and about the ten horns which it had on its head, and about the other, which had arisen, before which three horns had fallen: and about that horn which had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the others. Dn 7:21Aspiciēbam, et ecce cornū illud faciēbat bellum adversus sānctōs, et praevalēbat eīs, dōnec vēnit antīquus diērum, et jūdicium dedit sānctīs Excelsī, et tempus advēnit, et regnum obtinuērunt sānctī.I was watching, and behold, that horn was making war against the saints, and was prevailing over them, until the Ancient of days came, and gave judgement to the saints of the Most High, and the time came, and the saints obtained the kingdom.
Dn 7:23Et sīc ait: Bēstia quarta, regnum quartum erit in terrā, quod mājus erit omnibus regnīs, et dēvorābit ūniversam terram, et conculcābit, et comminuet eam.And thus he said: "The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be greater than all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will trample, and break it in pieces. Dn 7:24Porrō cornua decem ipsīus regnī, decem rēgēs erunt: et alius cōnsurget post eōs, et ipse potentior erit priōribus, et trēs rēgēs humiliābit.Further, the ten horns of that same kingdom will be ten kings: and another will rise up after them, and he will be more powerful than the earlier ones, and he will humble three kings. Dn 7:25Et sermōnēs contrā Excelsum loquētur, et sānctōs Altissimī conteret: et putābit quod possit mūtāre tempora, et lēgēs: et trādentur in manū ejus ūsque ad tempus, et tempora, et dīmidium temporis.And he will speak words against the Most High, and will crush the saints of the Most High: and he will think that he can change times, and laws: and they will be handed over into his hand up to a time, and times, and half a time.
Dn 7:26Et jūdicium sedēbit, ut auferātur potentia, et conterātur, et dispereat ūsque in fīnem.And the judgement will sit, so that his might may be taken away, and crushed, and may perish right up to the end. Dn 7:27Regnum autem, et potestās, et magnitūdō regnī, quae est subter omne caelum, dētur populō sānctōrum Altissimī: cujus regnum, regnum sempiternum est, et omnēs rēgēs servient eī, et obēdient.But the kingdom, and the power, and the greatness of the kingdom which is under the whole heaven, let it be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings will serve him, and obey." Dn 7:28Hūcusque fīnis verbī.Here is the end of the word. Dn 7:28Ego Daniēl multum cōgitātiōnibus meīs conturbābar, et faciēs mea mūtāta est in mē: verbum autem in corde meō cōnservāvī.I, Daniel, was much troubled by my thoughts, and my face was changed in me: but the word I kept in my heart.
