1 En el primer año del reinado de Belsasar como rey de Babilonia, Daniel tuvo un sueño en el que pasaban visiones por su mente mientras estaba acostado. Después escribió el sueño, describiéndolo en forma resumida.
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
2 En la visión que tuve aquella noche, vi una tremenda tormenta que soplaba desde todas las direcciones, agitando un gran mar.
2 Daniel spoke and said, “I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke out on the great sea.
3 Cuatro bestias muy grandes subían del mar, cada una de ellas diferente.
3 Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
4 La primera era como un león y tenía alas de águila. Mientras miraba, le arrancaron las alas y la pusieron en pie, de modo que estaba de pie con las patas traseras en el suelo, y se le dio la mente de un ser humano.
4 “The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet as a man. A man’s heart was given to it.
5 Apareció una segunda bestia, con aspecto de oso, encorvada de un lado y sujetando con los dientes tres costillas en la boca. Se le dijo: “Levántate y come toda la carne que puedas”.
5 “Behold, there was another animal, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. They said this to it: ‘Arise! Devour much flesh!’
6 Después de esto vi una tercera bestia. Parecía un leopardo con cuatro alas como las de un pájaro en su espalda, y tenía cuatro cabezas. Se le dio poder para imponer su dominio.
6 “After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 Luego, en la visión que tuve esa noche, apareció una cuarta bestia. Era aterradora, espantosa y extremadamente poderosa, con grandes dientes de hierro. Destrozaba y devoraba a sus víctimas, y luego pisoteaba lo que quedaba. Esta bestia era diferente a las anteriores, y tenía diez cuernos.
7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there was a fourth animal, awesome, powerful, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the animals that were before it. It had ten horns.
8 Mientras me preguntaba por los cuernos, otro cuerno, uno pequeño, surgió entre ellos y tres de los cuernos anteriores fueron arrancados ante él. Tenía ojos de aspecto humano y una boca que hacía alardes arrogantes.
8 “I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogantly.
9 Mientras yo observaba, se colocaron tronos y el Anciano de los Días tomó asiento. Sus ropas eran blancas como la nieve y sus cabellos parecían la lana más pura. Su trono ardía como las llamas; sus ruedas, como el fuego ardiente.
9 “I watched until thrones were placed, and one who was Ancient of Days sat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire.
10 Un torrente de fuego brotaba ante él. Miles de personas acudieron a él; diez mil veces diez mil estuvieron de pie ante él. El tribunal se sentó para comenzar su juicio, y se abrieron los libros.
10 A fiery stream issued and came out from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set. The books were opened.
11 Yo vigilaba por los alardes que hacía el cuerno pequeño. Seguí observando hasta que esa bestia fue muerta y su cuerpo destruido por la quema.
11 “I watched at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
12 Al resto de las bestias se les permitió seguir viviendo por una temporada y un tiempo, pero se les quitó el poder de gobernar.
12 As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 Mientras seguía observando en mi visión que tuve aquella noche, vi a uno como un hijo de hombre que venía con las nubes del cielo. Se acercó al Anciano de los Días y fue conducido a su presencia.
13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him.
14 Se le dio autoridad, gloria y el poder de gobernar sobre todos los pueblos, las diferentes naciones y lenguas, para que todos lo adoraran. Su gobierno es eterno, nunca cesará, y su reino nunca será destruido.
14 Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be destroyed.
15 Yo, Daniel, estaba profundamente perturbado; las visiones que habían pasado por mi mente me asustaban.
15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 Me acerqué a uno de los asistentes y le pedí que me explicara qué significaba todo esto. Dijo que lo explicaría para que pudiera entenderlo.
16 I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. “So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17 “Estas cuatro grandes bestias simbolizan cuatro reinos que ascenderán al poder en la tierra.
17 ‘These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who will arise out of the earth.
18 Pero los consagrados al Altísimo recibirán finalmente el reino. Ellos poseerán el reino para siempre, por los siglos de los siglos”.
18 But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’
19 Entonces quise saber qué representaba la cuarta bestia, la que era diferente a las demás y tan aterradora. Tenía dientes de hierro y garras de bronce, y destrozaba y devoraba a sus víctimas, pisoteando lo que quedaba.
19 “Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
20 También quería saber sobre los diez cuernos que tenía en la cabeza, y sobre el otro que surgió después, haciendo caer tres de los otros cuernos. Este cuerno parecía más impresionante que los otros y tenía ojos y una boca que hacía alardes arrogantes.
20 and concerning the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
21 Observé cómo este cuerno atacaba al pueblo consagrado de Dios y lo conquistaba,
21 I saw, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them,
22 hasta que vino el Anciano de los Días y dictó sentencia a favor de el pueblo dedicado del Altísimo, y en ese momento tomaron posesión del reino.
22 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.
23 Entonces me dijo: “La cuarta bestia representa el cuarto reino que gobernará la tierra. Será diferente a todos los demás reinos. La bestia se comerá el mundo entero, lo pisoteará y lo aplastará.
23 “So he said, ‘The fourth animal will be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will tread it down and break it in pieces.
24 Los diez cuernos son diez reyes que llegarán al poder de este reino. El que viene después es diferente a ellos, y derrotará a tres de ellos.
24 As for the ten horns, ten kings will arise out of this kingdom. Another will arise after them; and he will be different from the former, and he will put down three kings.
25 Hablará palabras de desafío contra el Altísimo y oprimirá al pueblo consagrado del Altísimo, e intentará cambiar los tiempos y las leyes, y serán puestos bajo su poder por un tiempo, dos tiempos y medio tiempo.
25 He will speak words against the Most High, and will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will plan to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
26 “Entonces el tribunal ejecutará el juicio y quitará su poder, destruyéndolo para siempre.
26 “‘But the judgment will be set, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
27 Entonces el derecho a gobernar, el poder y la grandeza de todos los reinos bajo el cielo serán entregados a los consagrados al Altísimo. Su reino durará para siempre, y todos los que gobiernan le servirán y obedecerán”.
27 The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will serve and obey him.’
28 Este es el final del resumen. En cuanto a mí, Daniel, mis pensamientos me perturbaron mucho y mi rostro palideció, pero me lo guardé todo para mí.
28 “Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”

For the Scripture saith, "Ten thousand times ten thousand stood around Him, and thousands of thousands ministered unto Him, and cried, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord of Sabaoth; the whole creation is full of His glory."

And then, again, since there are many, yea, innumerable angels who surround the Creator, as all the prophets acknowledge,--[saying, for instance,] "Ten thousand times ten thousand stood beside Him, and many thousands of thousands ministered unto Him," --then, according to them, the angels of the Pleroma will have as images the angels of the Creator, and the entire creation remains …
