Daniel 7

Εν τω πρωτω ετει του Βαλτασαρ βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος ο Δανιηλ ειδεν ενυπνιον και ορασεις της κεφαλης αυτου επι της κλινης αυτου τοτε εγραψε το ενυπνιον και διηγηθη το κεφαλαιον των λογων.

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.

Ο Δανιηλ ελαλησε και ειπεν, Εγω εθεωρουν εν τω οραματι μου την νυκτα και ιδου οι τεσσαρες ανεμοι του ουρανου συνεφωρμησαν επι την θαλασσαν την μεγαλην.

Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.

Και τεσσαρα θηρια μεγαλα ανεβησαν εκ της θαλασσης, διαφεροντα απ αλληλων.

And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

Το πρωτον ητο ως λεων και ειχε πτερυγας αετου εθεωρουν εωσου απεσπασθησαν αι πτερυγες αυτου, και εσηκωθη απο της γης και εσταθη επι τους ποδας ως ανθρωπος, και καρδια ανθρωπου εδοθη εις αυτο.

The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

Και ιδου, επειτα θηριον δευτερον ομοιον με αρκτον, και εσηκωθη κατα το εν πλαγιον, και ειχε τρεις πλευρας εν τω στοματι αυτου μεταξυ των οδοντων αυτου και ελεγον ουτω προς αυτο Σηκωθητι, καταφαγε σαρκας πολλας.

And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

Μετα τουτο εθεωρουν και ιδου, ετερον ως λεοπαρδαλις, εχον επι τα νωτα αυτου τεσσαρας πτερυγας πτηνου το θηριον ειχεν ετι τεσσαρας κεφαλας και εδοθη εξουσια εις αυτο.

After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

Μετα τουτο ειδον εν τοις οραμασι της νυκτος και ιδου, θηριον τεταρτον, τρομερον και καταπληκτικον και ισχυρον σφοδρα και ειχε μεγαλους σιδηρους οδοντας κατετρωγε και κατεσυντριβε και κατεπατει το υπολοιπον με τους ποδας αυτου και αυτο ητο διαφορον παντων των θηριων των προ αυτου και ειχε δεκα κερατα.

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Παρετηρουν τα κερατα και ιδου, ετερον μικρον κερας ανεβη μεταξυ αυτων, εμπροσθεν του οποιου τρια εκ των πρωτων κερατων εξερριζωθησαν και ιδου, εν τω κερατι τουτω ησαν οφθαλμοι ως οφθαλμοι ανθρωπου και στομα λαλουν πραγματα μεγαλα.

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

Εθεωρουν εως οτου οι θρονοι ετεθησαν και ο Παλαιος των ημερων εκαθησε, του οποιου το ενδυμα ητο λευκον ως χιων και αι τριχες της κεφαλης αυτου ως μαλλιον καθαρον ο θρονος αυτου ητο ως φλοξ πυρος, οι τροχοι αυτου ως πυρ καταφλεγον.

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

Ποταμος πυρος εξηρχετο και διεχεετο απ εμπροσθεν αυτου χιλιαι χιλιαδες υπηρετουν εις αυτον και μυριαι μυριαδες παρισταντο ενωπιον αυτου το κριτηριον εκαθησε και τα βιβλια ανεωχθησαν.

A fiery stream 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.

Εθεωρουν τοτε εξ αιτιας της φωνης των μεγαλων λογων, τους οποιους το κερας ελαλει, εθεωρουν εωσου εθανατωθη το θηριον και το σωμα αυτου απωλεσθη και εδοθη εις καυσιν πυρος.

I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

Περι δε των λοιπων θηριων, η εξουσια αυτων αφηρεθη πλην παρατασις ζωης εδοθη εις αυτα εως καιρου και χρονου.

As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

Ειδον εν οραμασι νυκτος και ιδου, ως Υιος ανθρωπου ηρχετο μετα των νεφελων του ουρανου και εφθασεν εως του Παλαιου των ημερων και εισηγαγον αυτον ενωπιον αυτου.

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

Και εις αυτον εδοθη η εξουσια και η δοξα και η βασιλεια, δια να λατρευωσιν αυτον παντες οι λαοι, τα εθνη και αι γλωσσαι η εξουσια αυτου ειναι εξουσια αιωνιος, ητις δεν θελει παρελθει, και η βασιλεια αυτου, ητις δεν θελει φθαρη.

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, 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.

Εφριξε το πνευμα εμου του Δανιηλ εντος του σωματος μου και αι ορασεις της κεφαλης μου με εταραττον.

I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

Επλησιασα εις ενα των παρισταμενων και εζητουν να μαθω παρ αυτου την αληθειαν παντων τουτων. Και ελαλησε προς εμε και μοι εφανερωσε την ερμηνειαν των πραγματων.

I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.

Ταυτα τα μεγαλα θηρια, τα οποια ειναι τεσσαρα, ειναι τεσσαρες βασιλεις, οιτινες θελουσιν εγερθη εκ της γης.

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

Αλλ οι αγιοι του Υψιστου θελουσι παραλαβει την βασιλειαν και θελουσιν εχει το βασιλειον εις τον αιωνα και εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος.

But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

Τοτε ηθελον να μαθω την αληθειαν περι του τεταρτου θηριου, το οποιον ητο διαφορον απο παντων των αλλων, καθ υπερβολην τρομερον, του οποιου οι οδοντες ησαν σιδηροι και οι ονυχες αυτου χαλκινοι κατετρωγε, κατεσυντριβε και κατεπατει το υπολοιπον με τους ποδας αυτου

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

και περι των δεκα κερατων, τα οποια ησαν εν τη κεφαλη αυτου και περι του αλλου, το οποιον ανεβη και εμπροσθεν του οποιου επεσον τρια περι του κερατος λεγω εκεινου, το οποιον ειχεν οφθαλμους και στομα λαλουν μεγαλα πραγματα, του οποιου η οψις ητο �ωμαλεωτερα παρα των συντροφων αυτου.

And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

Εθεωρουν, και το κερας εκεινο εκαμνε πολεμον μετα των αγιων και υπερισχυε κατ αυτων

I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

εωσου ηλθεν ο Παλαιος των ημερων και εδοθη η κρισις εις τους αγιους του Υψιστου και ο καιρος εφθασε και οι αγιοι ελαβον την βασιλειαν.

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.

Και εκεινος ειπε, το θηριον το τεταρτον θελει εισθαι η τεταρτη βασιλεια επι της γης, ητις θελει διαφερει απο πασων των βασιλειων, και θελει καταφαγει πασαν την γην και θελει καταπατησει αυτην και κατασυντριψει αυτην.

Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

Και τα δεκα κερατα ειναι δεκα βασιλεις, οιτινες θελουσιν εγερθη εκ της βασιλειας ταυτης και κατοπιν αυτων αλλος θελει εγερθη και αυτος θελει διαφερει των πρωτων και θελει υποταξει τρεις βασιλεις.

And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Και θελει λαλησει λογους εναντιον του Υψιστου, και θελει κατατρεχει τους αγιους του Υψιστου, και θελει διανοηθη να μεταβαλλη καιρους και νομους και θελουσι δοθη εις την χειρα αυτου μεχρι καιρου και καιρων και ημισεος καιρου.

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Κριτηριον ομως θελει καθησει, και θελει αφαιρεθη η εξουσια αυτου, δια να φθαρη και να αφανισθη εως τελους.

But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

Και η βασιλεια και η εξουσια και η μεγαλωσυνη των βασιλειων των υποκατω παντος του ουρανου θελει δοθη εις τον λαον των αγιων του Υψιστου, του οποιου η βασιλεια ειναι βασιλεια αιωνιος, και πασαι αι εξουσιαι θελουσι λατρευσει και υπακουσει εις αυτον.

And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Εως ενταυθα ειναι το τελος του πραγματος. Οσον δι εμε τον Δανιηλ, οι διαλογισμοι μου πολυ με εταραττον και η οψις μου ηλλοιωθη εν εμοι πλην συνετηρησα το πραγμα εν τη καρδια μου.

Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
