دانیال 7
| در سال اول بلشصر پادشاه بابل، دانیال دربسترش خوابی و رویاهای سرش را دید. پس خواب را نوشت و کلیه مطالب را بیان نمود. | ۱ 1 |
[Previously, ] during the first year that Belshazzar was the king of Babylonia, I had a dream and a vision one night as I lay on my bed. [The next morning] I wrote down what I had dreamed. This is what I wrote:
| پس دانیال متکلم شده، گفت: «شبگاهان در عالم رویا شده، دیدم که ناگاه چهار باد آسمان بر روی دریای عظیم تاختند. | ۲ 2 |
I, Daniel, had a vision last night. In the vision I saw that strong winds were blowing from all four directions, stirring up [the water in] the ocean.
| و چهار وحش بزرگ که مخالف یکدیگر بودند از دریا بیرون آمدند. | ۳ 3 |
Then [I saw] four beasts coming out of the ocean. All four of them were different.
| اول آنها مثل شیر بود و بالهای عقاب داشت و من نظرکردم تا بالهایش کنده گردید و او از زمین برداشته شده، بر پایهای خود مثل انسان قرار داده گشت ودل انسان به او داده شد. | ۴ 4 |
The first one resembled a lion, but it had wings like an eagle has. But as I watched, something tore off its wings {its wings were pulled off}. The beast was left there, standing on its two hind/rear legs, like a human being stands. And it was given a mind like humans have.
| و اینک وحش دوم دیگر مثل خرس بود و بر یک طرف خود بلند شدو در دهانش در میان دندانهایش سه دنده بود ووی را چنین گفتند: برخیز و گوشت بسیار بخور. | ۵ 5 |
The second beast resembled a bear. It was crouching, and it held between its teeth three ribs [from another animal that it had killed and eaten]. Someone said to it {It was told}, “Stand up and eat as much meat [as you want]!”
| بعد از آن نگریستم و اینک دیگری مثل پلنگ بود که بر پشتش چهار بال مرغ داشت و این وحش چهار سر داشت و سلطنت به او داده شد. | ۶ 6 |
Then I saw in front of me the third of those beasts. It resembled a leopard, but it had four wings protruding from its back. The wings were like a bird’s wings. It had four heads. It was given the power/authority to rule [people].
| بعد ازآن در رویاهای شب نظر کردم و اینک وحش چهارم که هولناک و مهیب و بسیار زورآور بود ودندانهای بزرگ آهنین داشت و باقی‌مانده رامی خورد و پاره پاره می‌کرد و به پایهای خویش پایمال می‌نمود و مخالف همه وحوشی که قبل ازاو بودند بود و ده شاخ داشت. | ۷ 7 |
In the vision I saw a fourth beast. It was stronger than the other beasts, and it was more terrifying. It crushed other creatures with its huge iron teeth and ate their flesh. The parts of animals that it did not grind with its teeth, it trampled [on the ground]. It was different from the other three beasts: It had ten horns [on its head].
| پس در این شاخهاتامل می‌نمودم که اینک از میان آنها شاخ کوچک دیگری برآمد و پیش رویش سه شاخ از آن شاخهای اول از ریشه‌کنده شد و اینک این شاخ چشمانی مانند چشم انسان و دهانی که به سخنان تکبرآمیز متکلم بود داشت. | ۸ 8 |
While I was looking at those horns, I saw a little horn appear [on the head of that beast]. It tore out three of the other horns. This little horn had eyes like humans have, and it had a mouth [with which it spoke] very boastfully.
| «و نظر می‌کردم تا کرسیها برقرار شد وقدیم الایام جلوس فرمود و لباس او مثل برف سفید و موی سرش مثل پشم پاک و عرش اوشعله های آتش و چرخهای آن آتش ملتهب بود. | ۹ 9 |
[Then] while I watched, thrones were put in the places [where they belonged], and [God], the one who had been living forever, sat on one of the thrones. His clothes were as white as snow, and his hair was as white as pure/clean wool. His throne had wheels that were blazing with fire, and his throne was [also] blazing.
| نهری از آتش جاری شده، از پیش روی اوبیرون آمد. هزاران هزار او را خدمت می‌کردند وکرورها کرور به حضور وی ایستاده بودند. دیوان برپا شد و دفترها گشوده گردید. | ۱۰ 10 |
A fire was rushing out of in front of him like a stream. Many thousands [of people] (OR, [angels]) [were there] serving him, and millions [of other people] (OR, [angels]) were standing in front of him. They started (the court session/judging people), and they opened the books [in which they had written the record of all the good and bad things that people had done].
| آنگاه نظر کردم به‌سبب سخنان تکبرآمیزی که آن شاخ می‌گفت. پس نگریستم تا آن وحش کشته شد وجسد او هلاک گردیده، به آتش مشتعل تسلیم شد. | ۱۱ 11 |
While I was watching, I could hear the little horn speaking very boastfully. As I [continued to] watch, the [fourth] beast was killed. Its corpse was thrown into a fire and completely burned.
| اما سایر وحوش سلطنت را از ایشان گرفتند، لکن درازی عمر تا زمانی و وقتی به ایشان داده شد. | ۱۲ 12 |
The power/authority of the other [three] beasts was taken away from them, but they were allowed to continue to live for a while.
| و در رویای شب نگریستم و اینک مثل پسر انسان با ابرهای آسمان آمد و نزدقدیم الایام رسید و او را به حضور وی آوردند. | ۱۳ 13 |
While I [continued to] see the vision that night, I saw someone who resembled a human being. He was coming [closer to me], surrounded by clouds. Then he was taken to [God], the one who had been living forever.
| و سلطنت و جلال و ملکوت به او داده شد تاجمیع قوم‌ها و امت‌ها و زبانها او را خدمت نمایند. سلطنت او سلطنت جاودانی و بی‌زوال است و ملکوت او زایل نخواهد شد. | ۱۴ 14 |
He was honored and given great authority to rule over all the nations in the world, in order that people from every people-group and every nation, people from all language groups, would worship/serve him. He will rule forever; he will never stop ruling. The kingdom that he rules will never be destroyed.
| «اما روح من دانیال در جسدم مدهوش شدو رویاهای سرم مرا مضطرب ساخت. | ۱۵ 15 |
As for me, Daniel, I was very terrified by what I had seen in that vision, and I did not know what to think about it.
| و به یکی از حاضرین نزدیک شده، حقیقت این همه امور را از وی پرسیدم و او به من تکلم نموده، تفسیر امور را برای من بیان کرد، | ۱۶ 16 |
I went to one of those who were standing in front of the throne of God, and I asked him to tell me what it meant. So he told me the meaning of it.
| که این وحوش عظیمی که (عدد) ایشان چهار است چهار پادشاه می‌باشند که از زمین خواهند برخاست. | ۱۷ 17 |
[He said], “The four huge beasts represent four kingdoms/empires that will exist on the earth.
| امامقدسان حضرت اعلی سلطنت را خواهند یافت و مملکت را تا به ابد و تا ابدالاباد متصرف خواهند بود. | ۱۸ 18 |
But the Supreme God will give power/authority to his people [to rule], and they shall rule forever.”
| آنگاه آرزو داشتم که حقیقت امررا درباره وحش چهارم که مخالف همه دیگران وبسیار هولناک بود و دندانهای آهنین و چنگالهای برنجین داشت و سایرین را می‌خورد و پاره پاره می‌کرد و به پایهای خود پایمال می‌نمود بدانم. | ۱۹ 19 |
Then I wanted to know what the fourth beast signified—[the beast] that was different from the other three, the beast that crushed [those that it attacked] with its bronze claws, and [then] ate [their flesh] with its iron teeth, and trampled on the parts of their bodies [that it did not eat].
| و کیفیت ده شاخ را که بر سر او بود و آن دیگری را که برآمد و پیش روی او سه شاخ افتادیعنی آن شاخی که چشمان و دهانی را که سخنان تکبرآمیز می‌گفت داشت و نمایش او از رفقایش سختتر بود. | ۲۰ 20 |
[I also wanted to know about] the ten horns on its head, and about the horn that appeared later, which got rid of three of the other horns. [I wanted to know what it meant that] it had eyes and a mouth with which it spoke very boastfully. [The beast that was represented by] that horn was more terrifying than the other beasts.
| پس ملاحظه کردم و این شاخ بامقدسان جنگ کرده، بر ایشان استیلا یافت. | ۲۱ 21 |
While I was having the vision, I saw that this horn attacked God’s people and was defeating them.
| تاحینی که قدیم الایام آمد و داوری به مقدسان حضرت اعلی تسلیم شد و زمانی رسید که مقدسان ملکوت را به تصرف آوردند. | ۲۲ 22 |
But then the Supreme God, the one who had been living forever, came and judged in favor of the people who belonged to him. And [I knew that] it was time for God’s people to receive authority [to rule].
| پس اوچنین گفت: وحش چهارم سلطنت چهارمین برزمین خواهد بود و مخالف همه سلطنتها خواهدبود و تمامی جهان را خواهد خورد و آن راپایمال نموده، پاره پاره خواهد کرد. | ۲۳ 23 |
[Then] the man who was standing there said [to me], “The fourth beast represents an empire that will exist on the earth; that [empire] will be different from all [other] empires. [The army of] that empire will crush/kill [people all over] the world and trample [on their bodies].
| و ده شاخ از این مملکت، ده پادشاه می‌باشند که خواهندبرخاست و دیگری بعد از ایشان خواهدبرخاست و او مخالف اولین خواهد بود و سه پادشاه را به زیر خواهد افکند. | ۲۴ 24 |
As for its ten horns, they represent ten kings who will rule that empire, [one after the other]. Then another [king] will appear. He will be different from the previous kings. He will defeat the three kings [that were represented by the three horns that were pulled out].
| و سخنان به ضدحضرت اعلی خواهد گفت و مقدسان حضرت اعلی را ذلیل خواهد ساخت و قصد تبدیل نمودن زمانها و شرایع خواهد نمود و ایشان تا زمانی ودو زمان و نصف زمان به‌دست او تسلیم خواهندشد. | ۲۵ 25 |
He will revile the Supreme God, and he will oppress God’s people. He will try to change the [sacred] festivals and their [religious] laws/regulations. He will control them for three and a half years.
| پس دیوان برپا خواهد شد و سلطنت او رااز او گرفته، آن را تا به انتها تباه و تلف خواهندنمود. | ۲۶ 26 |
But there will be a session/meeting of the court/judges in heaven, and that king’s authority/power will be taken away, and he will be completely destroyed.
| و ملکوت و سلطنت و حشمت مملکتی که زیر تمامی آسمانهاست به قوم مقدسان حضرت اعلی داده خواهد شد که ملکوت اوملکوت جاودانی است و جمیع ممالک او راعبادت و اطاعت خواهند نمود. | ۲۷ 27 |
Then all the power and the greatness of all the kingdoms on the earth will be given to the people who belong to the Supreme God. The kingdom that he rules (OR, they rule) will endure forever. And the rulers of all the nations on the earth will serve and obey him (OR, them).”
| انتهای امر تابه اینجا است. فکرهای من دانیال مرا بسیارمضطرب نمود و هیئتم در من متغیر گشت، لیکن این امر را در دل خود نگاه داشتم.» | ۲۸ 28 |
That is [what I saw in] my vision/dream. I, Daniel, was terrified, with the result that my face became pale. But I did not tell anyone about the vision [that I had seen].
