Daniel 7:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream filled with visions while he was lying on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream in summary fashion.
2 Daniel explained: "I was watching in my vision during the night as the four winds of the sky were stirring up the great sea.
3 Then four large beasts came up from the sea; they were different from one another.
4 "The first one was like a lion with eagles' wings. As I watched, its wings were pulled off and it was lifted up from the ground. It was made to stand on two feet like a human being, and a human mind was given to it.
5 "Then a second beast appeared, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, 'Get up and devour much flesh!'
6 "After these things, as I was watching, another beast like a leopard appeared, with four bird-like wings on its back. This beast had four heads, and ruling authority was given to it.
7 "After these things, as I was watching in the night visions a fourth beast appeared� one dreadful, terrible, and very strong. It had two large rows of iron teeth. It devoured and crushed, and anything that was left it trampled with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that came before it, and it had ten horns.
8 "As I was contemplating the horns, another horn� a small one� came up between them, and three of the former horns were torn out by the roots to make room for it. This horn had eyes resembling human eyes and a mouth speaking arrogant things.
9 "While I was watching, thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His attire was white like snow; the hair of his head was like lamb's wool. His throne was ablaze with fire and its wheels were all aflame.
10 A river of fire was streaming forth and proceeding from his presence. Many thousands were ministering to him; Many tens of thousands stood ready to serve him. The court convened and the books were opened.
11 "Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching until the beast was killed and its body destroyed and thrown into the flaming fire.
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their ruling authority had already been removed, though they were permitted to go on living for a time and a season.
13 I was watching in the night visions, "And with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man was approaching. He went up to the Ancient of Days and was escorted before him.
14 To him was given ruling authority, honor, and sovereignty. All peoples, nations, and language groups were serving him. His authority is eternal and will not pass away. His kingdom will not be destroyed.
15 "As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed, and the visions of my mind were alarming me.
16 I approached one of those standing nearby and asked him about the meaning of all this. So he spoke with me and revealed to me the interpretation of the vision:
17 'These large beasts, which are four in number, represent four kings who will arise from the earth.
18 The holy ones of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will take possession of the kingdom forever and ever.'
19 "Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others. It was very dreadful, with two rows of iron teeth and bronze claws, and it devoured, crushed, and trampled anything that was left with its feet.
20 I also wanted to know the meaning of the ten horns on its head, and of that other horn which came up and before which three others fell. This was the horn that had eyes and a mouth speaking arrogant things, whose appearance was more formidable than the others.
21 While I was watching, that horn began to wage war against the holy ones and was defeating them,
22 until the Ancient of Days arrived and judgment was rendered in favor of the holy ones of the Most High. Then the time came for the holy ones to take possession of the kingdom.
23 "This is what he told me: 'The fourth beast means that there will be a fourth kingdom on earth that will differ from all the other kingdoms. It will devour all the earth and will trample and crush it.
24 The ten horns mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom. Another king will arise after them, but he will be different from the earlier ones. He will humiliate three kings.
25 He will speak words against the Most High. He will harass the holy ones of the Most High continually. His intention will be to change times established by law. They will be delivered into his hand For a time, times, and half a time.
26 But the court will convene, and his ruling authority will be removed� destroyed and abolished forever!
27 Then the kingdom, authority, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be delivered to the people of the holy ones of the Most High. His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; all authorities will serve him and obey him.'
28 "This is the conclusion of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and the color drained from my face. But I kept the matter to myself."
1 In the first H2298 year H8140 of Belshazzar H1113 king H4430 of Babylon H895 Daniel H1841 had H2370 a dream H2493 and visions H2376 of his head H7217 upon H5922 his bed: H4903 then H116 he wrote H3790 the dream, H2493 and told H560 the sum H7217 of the matters. H4406
2 Daniel H1841 spoke H6032 and said, H560 I saw H1934 H2370 in my vision H2376 by H5974 night, H3916 and, behold, H718 the four H703 winds H7308 of the heaven H8065 strove H1519 upon the great H7229 sea. H3221
3 And four H703 great H7260 beasts H2423 came up H5559 from H4481 the sea, H3221 diverse H8133 one H1668 from another H4481 H1668 .
4 The first H6933 was like a lion, H744 and had eagle H1768 H5403 's wings: H1611 I beheld H1934 H2370 till H5705 H1768 the wings H1611 thereof were plucked, H4804 and it was lifted up H5191 from H4481 the earth, H772 and made stand H6966 upon H5922 the feet H7271 as a man, H606 and a man's H606 heart H3825 was given H3052 to it.
5 And behold H718 another H317 beast, H2423 a second, H8578 like H1821 to a bear, H1678 and it raised up H6966 itself on one H2298 side, H7859 and it had three H8532 ribs H5967 in the mouth H6433 of it between H997 the teeth H8128 of it : and they said H560 thus H3652 unto it, Arise, H6966 devour H399 much H7690 flesh. H1321
6 After H870 this H1836 I beheld H1934 H2370 , and lo H718 another, H317 like a leopard, H5245 which had upon H5922 the back H1355 of it four H703 wings H1611 of H1768 a fowl; H5776 the beast H2423 had also four H703 heads; H7217 and dominion H7985 was given H3052 to it.
7 After H870 this H1836 I saw H1934 H2370 in the night H3916 visions, H2376 and behold H718 a fourth H7244 beast, H2423 dreadful H1763 and terrible, H574 and strong H8624 exceedingly; H3493 and it had great H7260 iron H1768 H6523 teeth: H8128 it devoured H399 and broke in pieces, H1855 and stamped H7512 the residue H7606 with the feet H7271 of it : and it H1932 was diverse H8133 from H4481 all H3606 the beasts H2423 that H1768 were before H6925 it ; and it had ten H6236 horns. H7162
8 I considered H1934 H7920 the horns, H7162 and, behold, H431 there came up H5559 among H997 them another H317 little H2192 horn, H7162 before H4481 H6925 whom there were three H8532 of H4481 the first H6933 horns H7162 plucked up by the roots: H6132 and, behold, H431 in this H1668 horn H7162 were eyes H5870 like the eyes H5870 of man, H606 and a mouth H6433 speaking H4449 great things. H7260
9 I beheld H1934 H2370 till H5705 H1768 the thrones H3764 were cast down, H7412 and the Ancient H6268 of days H3118 did sit, H3488 whose garment H3831 was white H2358 as snow, H8517 and the hair H8177 of his head H7217 like the pure H5343 wool: H6015 his throne H3764 was like the fiery H1768 H5135 flame, H7631 and his wheels H1535 as burning H1815 fire. H5135
10 A fiery H1768 H5135 stream H5103 issued H5047 and came forth H5312 from H4481 before H6925 him: thousand H506 thousands H506 ministered H8120 unto him , and ten thousand times ten thousand H7240 H7240 stood H6966 before H6925 him : the judgment H1780 was set, H3488 and the books H5609 were opened. H6606
11 I beheld H1934 H2370 then H116 because of H4481 the voice H7032 of the great H7260 words H4406 which H1768 the horn H7162 spoke: H4449 I beheld H1934 H2370 even till H5705 H1768 the beast H2423 was slain, H6992 and his body H1655 destroyed, H7 and given H3052 to the burning H3346 flame. H785
12 As concerning the rest H7606 of the beasts, H2423 they had their dominion H7985 taken away: H5709 yet their lives H2417 were prolonged H754 H3052 for H5705 a season H2166 and time. H5732
13 I saw H1934 H2370 in the night H3916 visions, H2376 and, behold, H718 one like the Son H1247 of man H606 came H1934 H858 with H5974 the clouds H6050 of heaven, H8065 and came H4291 to H5705 the Ancient H6268 of days, H3118 and they brought him near H7127 before H6925 him.
14 And there was given H3052 him dominion, H7985 and glory, H3367 and a kingdom, H4437 that all H3606 people, H5972 nations, H524 and languages, H3961 should serve H6399 him : his dominion H7985 is an everlasting H5957 dominion, H7985 which H1768 shall not H3809 pass away, H5709 and his kingdom H4437 that which H1768 shall not H3809 be destroyed. H2255
15 I H576 Daniel H1841 was grieved H3735 in my spirit H7308 in the midst H1459 of my body, H5085 and the visions H2376 of my head H7217 troubled H927 me.
16 I came near H7127 unto H5922 one H2298 of H4481 them that stood by, H6966 and asked H1156 H4481 him the truth H3330 of H5922 all H3606 this. H1836 So he told H560 me , and made me know H3046 the interpretation H6591 of the things. H4406
17 These H459 great H7260 beasts, H2423 which H1768 are four, H703 are four H703 kings, H4430 which shall arise H6966 out of H4481 the earth. H772
18 But the saints H6922 of the most High H5946 shall take H6902 the kingdom, H4437 and possess H2631 the kingdom H4437 forever H5705 H5957 , even forever H5705 H5957 and ever. H5957
19 Then H116 I would H6634 know H3046 the truth H3321 of H5922 the fourth H7244 beast, H2423 which H1768 was H1934 diverse H8133 from H4481 all H3606 the others, exceeding H3493 dreadful, H1763 whose teeth H8128 were of H1768 iron, H6523 and his nails H2953 of H1768 brass; H5174 which devoured, H399 broke in pieces, H1855 and stamped H7512 the residue H7606 with his feet; H7271
20 And of H5922 the ten H6236 horns H7162 that H1768 were in his head, H7217 and of the other H317 which H1768 came up, H5559 and before H4481 H6925 whom three H8532 fell; H5308 even of that H1797 horn H7162 that had eyes, H5870 and a mouth H6433 that spoke H4449 very great things, H7260 whose look H2376 was more stout H7229 than H4481 his fellows. H2273
21 I beheld H1934 H2370 , and the same H1797 horn H7162 made H5648 war H7129 with H5974 the saints, H6922 and prevailed H3202 against them;
22 Until H5705 H1768 the Ancient H6268 of days H3118 came, H858 and judgment H1780 was given H3052 to the saints H6922 of the most High; H5946 and the time H2166 came H4291 that the saints H6922 possessed H2631 the kingdom. H4437
23 Thus H3652 he said, H560 The fourth H7244 beast H2423 shall be H1934 the fourth H7244 kingdom H4437 upon earth, H772 which H1768 shall be diverse H8133 from H4481 all H3606 kingdoms, H4437 and shall devour H399 the whole H3606 earth, H772 and shall tread it down, H1759 and break it in pieces. H1855
24 And the ten H6236 horns H7162 out of H4481 this kingdom H4437 are ten H6236 kings H4430 that shall arise: H6966 and another H321 shall rise H6966 after H311 them ; and he H1932 shall be diverse H8133 from H4481 the first, H6933 and he shall subdue H8214 three H8532 kings. H4430
25 And he shall speak H4449 great words H4406 against H6655 the most High, H5943 and shall wear out H1080 the saints H6922 of the most High, H5946 and think H5452 to change H8133 times H2166 and laws: H1882 and they shall be given H3052 into his hand H3028 until H5705 a time H5732 and times H5732 and the dividing H6387 of time. H5732
26 But the judgment H1780 shall sit, H3488 and they shall take away H5709 his dominion, H7985 to consume H8046 and to destroy H7 it unto H5705 the end. H5491
27 And the kingdom H4437 and dominion, H7985 and the greatness H7238 of H1768 the kingdom H4437 under H8460 the whole H3606 heaven, H8065 shall be given H3052 to the people H5972 of the saints H6922 of the most High, H5946 whose kingdom H4437 is an everlasting H5957 kingdom, H4437 and all H3606 dominions H7985 shall serve H6399 and obey H8086 him.
28 Hitherto H5705 H3542 is the end H5491 of H1768 the matter. H4406 As for me H576 Daniel, H1841 my cogitations H7476 much H7690 troubled H927 me , and my countenance H2122 changed H8133 in H5922 me : but I kept H5202 the matter H4406 in my heart. H3821
