Ang Pangitain ni Daniel tungkol sa Apat na Halimaw
7 Noong unang taon ni Belsazar bilang hari ng Babilonia, si Daniel ay nagkaroon ng pangitain sa kanyang panaginip. Isinulat ito ni Daniel.
2 Isang gabi nakita ko na kabi-kabila ay binabayo ng malakas na hangin ang malaking dagat. 3 Mula(A) sa dagat ay may umahong apat na iba't ibang halimaw. 4 Ang(B) una ay parang leon, ngunit may mga pakpak ng agila; habang ako'y nakatingin, nabunot ang mga pakpak nito. Umangat ito sa lupa at tumayong parang tao. Binigyan ito ng isip ng tao. 5 Ang ikalawa naman ay parang oso. Ang dalawang paa lamang nito sa huli ang inilalakad at may kagat pang tatlong tadyang. May tinig na nag-utos dito, “Sige, magpakasawa ka sa karne.” 6 Ang ikatlo ay kahawig ng leopardo. Ito'y may apat na pakpak sa likod tulad ng sa ibon, apat din ang ulo, at binigyan ito ng kapangyarihan. 7 Pagkaraan,(C) nakita ko ang ikaapat na halimaw. Nakakatakot ito at napakalakas. Bakal ang ngipin nito at niluluray ang anumang makagat at tinatapakan ang matira doon. Kakaiba ito sa tatlong nauna sapagkat ito'y may sampung sungay. 8 Pinagmasdan(D) kong mabuti ang mga sungay at nakita kong may tumutubo pang isa. Ang tatlong sungay ay nabunot upang magkaroon ng puwang ang sungay na tumutubo. Ang sungay na ito ay may mga mata na tulad sa tao at may bibig na nagsasalita ng sobrang kayabangan.
Ang Pangitain tungkol sa Nabubuhay Magpakailanpaman
9 Habang(E) ako'y nakatingin, mayroong naglagay ng mga trono. Naupo sa isa sa mga ito ang Nabubuhay Magpakailanpaman. Puting-puti ang kanyang kasuotan at gayundin ang kanyang buhok. Ang trono niya'y naglalagablab at ang mga gulong nito'y nagliliyab. 10 Parang(F) bukal ang apoy na dumadaloy mula sa kanya. Pinaglilingkuran siya ng milyun-milyon, bukod pa sa daan-daang milyon na nakatayo sa harap niya. Humanda na siya sa paggagawad ng hatol at binuksan ang mga aklat.
11 Dahil sa sobrang kayabangang sinasabi ng sungay, muli akong tumingin at nakitang pinatay ang ikaapat na hayop at inihagis ito sa apoy. 12 Ang iba namang halimaw ay inalisan ng kapangyarihan ngunit binigyan pa ng panahong mabuhay.
13 Patuloy(G) ang aking pangitain. Nakita ko sa alapaap sa langit ang parang isang tao. Lumapit siya sa Nabubuhay Magpakailanpaman. 14 Binigyan(H) siya ng kapamahalaan, ng karangalan at ng kaharian upang paglingkuran siya ng lahat ng tao sa bawat bansa at wika. Ang pamamahala niya ay hindi magwawakas, at ang kanyang kaharian ay hindi mawawasak.
Ang Kahulugan ng mga Pangitain
15 Akong si Daniel ay nalito at nabagabag dahil sa pangitaing iyon. 16 Kaya't nilapitan ko ang isang nakatayo roon at tinanong ko siya kung ano ang kahulugan ng mga bagay na aking nasaksihan. Ipinaliwanag naman niya ang mga ito sa akin. 17 Ang sabi niya, “Ang apat na halimaw ay apat na kahariang lilitaw sa daigdig. 18 Ngunit(I) ang mga hinirang ng Kataas-taasang Diyos ang bibigyan ng karapatang mamahala magpakailanman.”
19 Hinangad kong malaman ang kahulugan ng ikaapat na halimaw sapagkat malaki ang kaibahan nito sa tatlo at dahil sa nakakatakot ang anyo nito: bakal ang mga ngipin at tanso ang mga panga. Dinudurog nito saka nilulunok ang lahat ng abutan at tinatapakan ang matira. 20 Hinangad ko ring malaman ang kahulugan ng sampung sungay at ang kahulugan noong isang sungay na tumubo at naging dahilan para mabunot ang tatlo. Gusto ko ring malaman ang kahulugan ng mga mata at ng bibig sa sungay na sobrang kayabangan ang pinagsasasabi, at kung bakit ang sungay na ito'y mas malaki kaysa iba.
21 Samantalang(J) ako'y nakatingin, nakita kong dinigma at nilupig ng sungay na ito ang mga hinirang ng Diyos. 22 Pagkatapos,(K) dumating ang Nabubuhay Magpakailanpaman at nagbigay ng hatol sa panig ng mga hinirang ng Kataas-taasang Diyos. Dumating ang araw para ibigay sa bayan ng Diyos ang pamamahala sa kaharian.
23 Ganito ang sinabi niya sa akin: “Ang ikaapat na hayop ay ang ikaapat na kahariang lilitaw sa daigdig. Kakaiba ito sa lahat ng kaharian sapagkat masasakop, yuyurakan at dudurugin nito ang buong daigdig. 24 Ang(L) sampung sungay ay kumakatawan sa sampung hari ng kahariang ito. Sa gitna nila'y lilitaw ang isa na kaiba sa mga nauna at tatlong hari ang kanyang pababagsakin. 25 Magsasalita(M) siya laban sa Kataas-taasan at pahihirapan niya ang mga hinirang ng Kataas-taasang Diyos. Tatangkain niyang baguhin ang kautusan at mga takdang kapanahunan. Ang mga hinirang ng Diyos ay ipapailalim sa kanyang kapangyarihan sa loob ng tatlong taon at kalahati. 26 Ngunit siya'y hahatulan. Kukunin sa kanya ang kaharian at pupuksain siya nang lubusan. 27 Ang(N) kaharian at ang karangalan ng mga kaharian sa buong daigdig ay ibibigay sa mga hinirang ng Kataas-taasang Diyos. Sila ay maghahari magpakailanman. Maglilingkod at susunod sa kanila ang lahat ng kaharian.”
28 Dito natapos ang pangitain. Akong si Daniel ay lubhang nabahala at namutla sa takot. Sinarili ko na lamang ang mga bagay na ito.

Visión de las cuatro bestias
7 En el año primero del rey Belsasar de Babilonia, Daniel tuvo un sueño y visiones(A) en su mente[a], estando en su cama. Entonces escribió el sueño y relató el resumen[b] de él[c](B). 2 Habló Daniel, y dijo: Miraba yo en mi visión nocturna(C), y he aquí, los cuatro vientos del cielo agitaban el gran mar(D); 3 y cuatro bestias enormes, diferentes unas de otras, subían del mar(E). 4 La primera era como un león(F) y tenía alas de águila. Mientras yo miraba, sus alas le fueron arrancadas, fue levantada del suelo y puesta sobre dos pies, como un hombre, y le fue dado corazón de hombre. 5 Y he aquí, otra segunda bestia, semejante a un oso, estaba levantada de un costado, y en su boca, entre sus dientes, tenía tres costillas; y le dijeron así: «Levántate, y devora mucha carne». 6 Después de esto seguí mirando, y he aquí, otra más, semejante a un leopardo que tenía sobre su dorso[d] cuatro alas de ave; la bestia tenía cuatro cabezas, y le fue dado dominio(G). 7 Después de esto seguí mirando en las visiones nocturnas, y he aquí, una cuarta bestia, terrible, espantosa y en gran manera fuerte que tenía enormes dientes de hierro; devoraba, desmenuzaba y hollaba los restos con sus pies. Era diferente de todas las bestias que le antecedieron y tenía diez cuernos(H). 8 Mientras yo contemplaba los cuernos, he aquí, otro cuerno, uno pequeño, surgió entre ellos(I), y tres de los primeros cuernos fueron arrancados delante de él; y he aquí, este cuerno tenía ojos[e] como los ojos de un hombre, y una boca que hablaba con mucha arrogancia[f](J).
9 Seguí mirando
hasta que se establecieron tronos(K),
y el Anciano de Días se sentó.
Su vestidura era blanca como la nieve(L),
y el cabello de su cabeza como lana pura,
su trono, llamas de fuego(M),
y sus ruedas, fuego abrasador(N).
10 Un río de fuego corría,
saliendo de delante de Él(O).
Miles de millares le servían,
y miríadas de miríadas estaban en pie delante de Él(P).
El tribunal se sentó(Q),
y se abrieron los libros(R).
11 Entonces yo seguí mirando a causa del ruido de las palabras arrogantes[g] que el cuerno decía; seguí mirando hasta que mataron a la bestia, destrozaron su cuerpo y lo echaron a las llamas del fuego(S). 12 A las demás bestias, se les quitó el dominio, pero les fue concedida una prolongación de la vida por un tiempo determinado.
13 Seguí mirando en las visiones nocturnas,
y he aquí, con las nubes del cielo
venía uno como un Hijo de Hombre(T),
que se dirigió al Anciano de Días
y fue presentado ante Él.
14 Y le fue dado dominio,
gloria y reino[h](U),
para que todos los pueblos, naciones y lenguas
le sirvieran(V).
Su dominio es un dominio eterno(W)
que nunca pasará(X),
y su reino uno
que no será destruido(Y).
15 A mí, Daniel, se me angustió por dentro[i] el espíritu, y las visiones de mi mente[j](Z) seguían turbándome(AA). 16 Me acerqué a uno de los que estaban allí de pie y le pedí que me dijera la verdad acerca de todo esto. Y me respondió, dándome a conocer(AB) la interpretación de estas cosas(AC): 17 «Estas bestias enormes, que son cuatro, son cuatro reyes que se levantarán de la tierra. 18 Pero los santos del Altísimo recibirán el reino y poseerán el reino para siempre, por los siglos de los siglos(AD)». 19 Entonces quise saber la verdad acerca de la cuarta bestia, que era diferente de todas las demás[k], y en gran manera terrible, con sus dientes de hierro y sus garras de bronce, y que devoraba, desmenuzaba y hollaba los restos con sus pies(AE), 20 y la verdad acerca de los diez cuernos que tenía en su cabeza, y del otro cuerno que había surgido, delante del cual cayeron tres de ellos, es decir, el cuerno que tenía ojos y una boca que hablaba con mucha arrogancia[l], y cuya apariencia era mayor que la de sus compañeros. 21 Mientras yo miraba, este cuerno hacía guerra contra los santos y prevalecía sobre ellos(AF), 22 hasta que vino el Anciano de Días y se hizo[m] justicia a favor de los santos del Altísimo, y llegó el tiempo cuando los santos tomaron posesión del reino(AG).
23 Dijo así: «La cuarta bestia será un cuarto reino en la tierra, que será diferente de todos los otros reinos; devorará toda la tierra, la hollará y la desmenuzará. 24 Y los diez cuernos de este reino son diez reyes que se levantarán(AH), y otro se levantará después de ellos; él será diferente de los anteriores y subyugará a tres reyes. 25 Y él proferirá palabras contra el Altísimo(AI) y afligirá a los santos del Altísimo(AJ), e intentará cambiar los tiempos y la ley; y le serán entregados en sus manos por un tiempo[n], por tiempos[o] y por medio tiempo[p](AK). 26 Pero el tribunal se sentará para juzgar(AL), y su dominio le será quitado, aniquilado y destruido para siempre[q]. 27 Y la soberanía[r], el dominio y la grandeza de todos los reinos debajo de todo el cielo serán entregados al pueblo de los santos del Altísimo. Su reino será un reino eterno(AM), y todos los dominios le servirán(AN) y le obedecerán(AO)». 28 Hasta aquí la revelación[s]. En cuanto a mí, Daniel, mis pensamientos me turbaron en gran manera y mi rostro palideció[t](AP), pero guardé el asunto en mi corazón(AQ).

Daniel’s Dream of Four Beasts
7 In the first year of Belshazzar(A) king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions(B) passed through his mind(C) as he was lying in bed.(D) He wrote(E) down the substance of his dream.
2 Daniel said: “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven(F) churning up the great sea. 3 Four great beasts,(G) each different from the others, came up out of the sea.
4 “The first was like a lion,(H) and it had the wings of an eagle.(I) I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human being, and the mind of a human was given to it.
5 “And there before me was a second beast, 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. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’(J)
6 “After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard.(K) And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
7 “After that, in my vision(L) at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron(M) teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled(N) underfoot whatever was left.(O) It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.(P)
8 “While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little(Q) one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being(R) and a mouth that spoke boastfully.(S)
9 “As I looked,
“thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days(T) took his seat.(U)
His clothing was as white as snow;(V)
the hair of his head was white like wool.(W)
His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels(X) were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire(Y) was flowing,
coming out from before him.(Z)
Thousands upon thousands attended him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The court was seated,
and the books(AA) were opened.
11 “Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking.(AB) I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.(AC) 12 (The other beasts had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time.)
13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,[a](AD) coming(AE) with the clouds of heaven.(AF) He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority,(AG) glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him.(AH) His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom(AI) is one that will never be destroyed.(AJ)
The Interpretation of the Dream
15 “I, Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the visions that passed through my mind disturbed me.(AK) 16 I approached one of those standing there and asked him the meaning of all this.
“So he told me and gave me the interpretation(AL) of these things: 17 ‘The four great beasts are four kings that will rise from the earth. 18 But the holy people(AM) of the Most High will receive the kingdom(AN) and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever.’(AO)
19 “Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws—the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. 20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns(AP) on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully.(AQ) 21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them,(AR) 22 until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.(AS)
23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.(AT) 24 The ten horns(AU) are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most High(AV) and oppress his holy people(AW) and try to change the set times(AX) and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.[b](AY)
26 “‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed(AZ) forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms(BA) under heaven will be handed over to the holy people(BB) of the Most High.(BC) His kingdom will be an everlasting(BD) kingdom, and all rulers will worship(BE) and obey him.’
28 “This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled(BF) by my thoughts,(BG) and my face turned pale,(BH) but I kept the matter to myself.”
