NABRE
1In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, as Daniel lay in bed he had a dream, visions in his head. Then he wrote down the dream; the account began:
MSG
1In the first year of the reign of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream. What he saw as he slept in his bed terrified him—a real nightmare. Then he wrote out his dream:
NABRE
2In the vision I saw during the night, suddenly the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea,
MSG
2"In my dream that night I saw the four winds of heaven whipping up a great storm on the sea.
NABRE
3from which emerged four immense beasts, each different from the others.
MSG
3Four huge animals, each different from the others, ascended out of the sea.
NABRE
4The first was like a lion, but with eagle's wings. While I watched, the wings were plucked; it was raised from the ground to stand on two feet like a human being, and given a human mind.
MSG
4"The first animal looked like a lion, but it had the wings of an eagle. While I watched, its wings were pulled off. It was then pulled erect so that it was standing on two feet like a man. Then a human heart was placed in it.
NABRE
5The second beast was like a bear; it was raised up on one side, and among the teeth in its mouth were three tusks. It was given the order, "Arise, devour much flesh."
MSG
5"Then I saw a second animal that looked like a bear. It lurched from side to side, holding three ribs in its jaws. It was told, 'Attack! Devour! Fill your belly!'
NABRE
6After this I looked and saw another beast, like a leopard; on its back were four wings like those of a bird, and it had four heads. To this beast dominion was given.
MSG
6"Next I saw another animal. This one looked like a panther. It had four birdlike wings on its back. This animal had four heads and was made to rule.
NABRE
7After this, in the visions of the night I saw a fourth beast, terrifying, horrible, and of extraordinary strength; it had great iron teeth with which it devoured and crushed, and it trampled with its feet what was left. It differed from the beasts that preceded it. It had ten horns.
MSG
7"After that, a fourth animal appeared in my dream. This one was a grisly horror—hideous. It had huge iron teeth. It crunched and swallowed its victims. Anything left over, it trampled into the ground. It was different from the other animals—this one was a real monster. It had ten horns.
NABRE
8I was considering the ten horns it had, when suddenly another, a little horn, sprang out of their midst, and three of the previous horns were torn away to make room for it. This horn had eyes like human eyes, and a mouth that spoke arrogantly.
MSG
8"As I was staring at the horns and trying to figure out what they meant, another horn sprouted up, a little horn. Three of the original horns were pulled out to make room for it. There were human eyes in this little horn, and a big mouth speaking arrogantly.
NABRE
9As I watched,Thrones were set upand the Ancient of Days took his throne.His clothing was white as snow,the hair on his head like pure wool;His throne was flames of fire,with wheels of burning fire.
MSG
9"As I was watching all this,"Thrones were set in placeand The Old One sat down.His robes were white as snow,his hair was white like wool.His throne was flaming with fire,its wheels blazing.
NABRE
10A river of fire surged forth,flowing from where he sat;Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him,and myriads upon myriads stood before him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
MSG
10A river of firepoured out of the throne.Thousands upon thousands served him,tens of thousands attended him.The courtroom was called to order,and the books were opened.
NABRE
11I watched, then, from the first of the arrogant words which the horn spoke, until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the burning fire.
MSG
11"I kept watching. The little horn was speaking arrogantly. Then, as I watched, the monster was killed and its body cremated in a roaring fire.
NABRE
12As for the other beasts, their dominion was taken away, but they were granted a prolongation of life for a time and a season.
MSG
12The other animals lived on for a limited time, but they didn't really do anything, had no power to rule.
NABRE
13As the visions during the night continued, I saw coming with the clouds of heaven One like a son of man. When he reached the Ancient of Daysand was presented before him,
MSG
13My dream continued."I saw a human form, a son of man,arriving in a whirl of clouds.He came to The Old Oneand was presented to him.
NABRE
14He received dominion, splendor, and kingship;all nations, peoples and tongues will serve him.His dominion is an everlasting dominionthat shall not pass away,his kingship, one that shall not be destroyed.
MSG
14He was given power to rule—all the glory of royalty.Everyone—race, color, and creed—had to serve him.His rule would be forever, never ending.His kingly rule would never be replaced.
NABRE
15Because of this, my spirit was anguished and I, Daniel, was terrified by my visions.
MSG
15"But as for me, Daniel, I was disturbed. All these dream-visions had me agitated.
NABRE
16I approached one of those present and asked him the truth of all this; in answer, he made known to me its meaning:
MSG
16So I went up to one of those standing by and asked him the meaning of all this. And he told me, interpreting the dream for me:
NABRE
17"These four great beasts stand for four kings which shall arise on the earth.
MSG
17" 'These four huge animals,' he said, 'mean that four kingdoms will appear on earth.
NABRE
18But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingship, to possess it forever and ever."
MSG
18But eventually the holy people of the High God will be given the kingdom and have it ever after—yes, forever and ever.'
NABRE
19Then I wished to make certain about the fourth beast, so very terrible and different from the others, devouring and crushing with its iron teeth and bronze claws, and trampling with its feet what was left;
MSG
19"But I wanted to know more. I was curious about the fourth animal, the one so different from the others, the hideous monster with the iron teeth and the bronze claws, gulping down what it ripped to pieces and trampling the leftovers into the dirt.
NABRE
20and about the ten horns on its head, and the other one that sprang up, before which three horns fell; and about the horn with the eyes and the mouth that spoke arrogantly, which appeared greater than its fellows.
MSG
20And I wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that sprouted up while three of the original horns were removed. This new horn had eyes and a big mouth and spoke arrogantly, dominating the other horns.
NABRE
21For, as I watched, that horn made war against the holy ones and was victorious
MSG
21I watched as this horn was making war on God's holy people and getting the best of them.
NABRE
22until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was pronounced in favor of the holy ones of the Most High, and the time arrived for the holy ones to possess the kingship.
MSG
22But then The Old One intervened and decided things in favor of the people of the High God. In the end, God's holy people took over the kingdom.
NABRE
23He answered me thus:"The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth,different from all the others;The whole earth it shall devour,trample down and crush.
MSG
23"The bystander continued, telling me this: 'The fourth animal is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from the first three kingdoms, a monster kingdom that will chew up everyone in sight and spit them out.
NABRE
24The ten horns shall be ten kingsrising out of that kingdom;another shall rise up after them,Different from those before him,who shall lay low three kings.
MSG
24The ten horns are ten kings, one after another, that will come from this kingdom. But then another king will arrive. He will be different from the earlier kings. He will begin by toppling three kings.
NABRE
25He shall speak against the Most Highand wear down the holy ones of the Most High,intending to change the feast days and the law. They shall be handed over to himfor a time, two times, and half a time.
MSG
25Then he will blaspheme the High God, persecute the followers of the High God, and try to get rid of sacred worship and moral practice. God's holy people will be persecuted by him for a time, two times, half a time.
NABRE
26But when the court is convened,and his dominion is taken awayto be abolished and completely destroyed,
MSG
26" 'But when the court comes to order, the horn will be stripped of its power and totally destroyed.
NABRE
27Then the kingship and dominion and majestyof all the kingdoms under the heavensshall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High,Whose kingship shall be an everlasting kingship,whom all dominions shall serve and obey."
MSG
27Then the royal rule and the authority and the glory of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the people of the High God. Their royal rule will last forever. All other rulers will serve and obey them.'
NABRE
28This is the end of the report. I, Daniel, was greatly terrified by my thoughts, and my face became pale, but I kept the matter to myself.
MSG
28"And there it ended. I, Daniel, was in shock. I was like a man who had seen a ghost. But I kept it all to myself.
