| [1]In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream, and there were visions in his head, upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and declared the sum of the matter. |
[1]In the first yere of Balthasar king of Babylon, sawe Daniel a dreame, & there were visions in his head vpon his bead: which dreame he wrote, & declared the summe of the matter |
| [2]Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea: |
[2]Daniel spake and saide: I sawe in my vision by night, and beholde, the foure windes of heauen stroue vpon the great sea |
| [3]And four great beasts came up from the sea one diverse from another. |
[3]And foure great beastes came vp from the sea, one diuers from an other |
| [4]The first was as a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld, till the wings thereof were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth, and set upon his feet as a man, and a man's heart was given him. |
[4]The first was as a lion, and had Egles winges: I beheld till his winges were pluckt from him, and he lifted vp from the earth, & set vpon his feete like a man, & there was geuen him a mans heart |
| [5]And behold, another beast which was the second, was like a bear and stood upon the one side: and he had three ribs in his mouth between his teeth, and they said thus unto him, Arise and devour much flesh. |
[5]Behold an other beast, [which was] the second, was lyke a beare, and stoode vpon the one side: betwixt his teeth in his mouth he had three ribbes, and it was saide vnto him thus: Arise, eate vp much fleshe |
| [6]After this I beheld, and lo, there was another like a leopard, which had upon his back four wings of a fowl: the beast had also four heads, and dominion was given him. |
[6]Then I loked, and beholde, there was an other lyke vnto a leopard, this had winges as a foule, euen foure vpon the backe: this beast had foure heads, and there was power geuen him |
| [7]After this I saw in the visions by night, and behold, the fourth beast was fearful and terrible and very strong. It had great iron teeth: it devoured and break in pieces and stamped the residue under his feet: and it was unlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten horns. |
[7]After this I saw in a vision by night, & beholde, the fourth beast was grimme and horrible, and marueylous strong: it had great iron teeth, it deuoured & destroyed, & stamped the residue vnder his feete, it was vnlike yt other beastes that were before it, for it had ten hornes |
| [8]As I considered the horns, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked away: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things. |
[8]As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another little horne, before whom there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, this horne had eyes lyke the eyes of a man, & a mouth speaking presumptuous thinges |
| [9]I beheld, till the thrones were set up, 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. |
[9]I behelde till the thrones were set vp, & the auncient of dayes did sit: whose garment was white as snowe, and the heeres of his head lyke the pure wooll: his throne was like the firie flambe, and his wheeles as burning fire |
| [10]A fiery stream issued, and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand thousands stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books opened. |
[10]There issued foorth a firie streame, and went out from before him: a thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and ten thousand thousandes stoode before him: the iudgement was set, & the bookes opened |
| [11]Then I beheld, because of the voice of the presumptuous words, which the horn spake: I beheld, even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning fire. |
[11]Then toke I heede therunto, because of the voyce of the proude words which the horne spake: I behelde till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and geuen to be brent in the fire |
| [12]As concerning the other beasts, they had taken away their dominion: yet their lives were prolonged for a certain time and season. |
[12]As concerning the other beastes, they had their dominion taken away, but their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season |
| [13]As I beheld in visions by night, behold, one like the son of man came in the clouds of heaven, and approached unto the Ancient of days, and they brought him before him. |
[13]I saw in visions by night, and behold there came one in the cloudes of heauen, lyke the sonne of man: which went vnto the aucient of dayes, before whom they brought him |
| [14]And he gave him dominion, and honor, and a kingdom that all people, nations and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall never be taken away: and his kingdom shall never be destroyed. |
[14]And he gaue him dominion & honour, and a kingdome, that al people, nations, and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion which shall neuer be taken away, and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed |
| [15]I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the midst of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraid. |
[15]I Daniel was troubled in my spirite in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head made me afrayde |
| [16]Therefore I came unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this: so he told me, and showed me the interpretation of these things. |
[16]I gate me vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth concerning all these thinges: so he tolde me, and made me vnderstand the interpretation of these thinges |
| [17]These great beasts which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth, |
[17]These great beastes which are foure, are foure kinges which shall arise out of the earth |
| [18]And they shall take the kingdom of the saints of the Most High, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. |
[18]But the High saintes shall receaue a kingdome, and possesse a kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer |
| [19]After this, I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was so unlike to all the others, very fearful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass: which devoured, break in pieces, and stamped the residue under his feet. |
[19]After this, I required to knowe the trueth concerning ye fourth beast, which was so vnlyke the other beastes, and so horrible, whose teeth were of iron, and his nayles of brasse, which deuoured and destroyed, and stamped the residue vnder his feete |
| [20]Also to know of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, before whom three fell, and of the horn that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. |
[20][I desired] also [to knowe the trueth] as touching the ten hornes that he had vpon his head, and this other which came vp afterwarde, before whose face there fell downe three, which horne had eyes and a mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, and loked with a grimmer visage then his felowes |
| [21]I beheld, and the same horn made battle against the saints, yea, and prevailed against them, |
[21]I behelde, and the same horne made battaile against the sainctes, yea & preuayled against them |
| [22]Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High: and the time approached, that the saints possessed the kingdom. |
[22]Until the auncient of dayes came that the iudgement was geuen to the high sainctes, and till the time came that the sainctes had the kingdome in possession |
| [23]Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom in the earth, which shall be unlike to all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down and break it in pieces. |
[23]He gaue me this aunswer: That fourth beast, shalbe the fourth kingdome vpon earth, it shalbe vnlike to all the kingdomes: it shall deuour, treade downe, and destroy all other landes |
| [24]And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall rise: and another shall rise after them, and he shall be unlike to the first, and he shall subdue three kings, |
[24]The ten hornes, are ten kinges that shall arise out of that kingdome: after whom there shall stande vp another, which shalbe vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three kinges |
| [25]And shall speak words against the Most High, and shall consume the saints of the Most High, and think that he may change times and laws, and they shall be given into his hand, until a time, and times and the dividing of time. |
[25]And he shall speake wordes against the highest of all, he shall destroy the high sainctes, and thinke that he may chaunge times and lawes: they shalbe geuen into his hande vntill a time, and times, and the deuiding of a time |
| [26]But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it unto the end. |
[26]But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende |
| [27]And the kingdom, and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the holy people of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and all powers shall serve and obey him. |
[27]And the kingdome and dominion, & the greatnes of the kingdome vnder the whole heaue, shalbe geuen to the people of high sainctes, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, and all powers shal serue and obey it |
| [28]Even this is the end of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart. |
[28]Hitherto the ende of the wordes: I Daniel had many cogitations [which] troubled me, & my coutenauce chaunged in me: but the wordes I kept still in my heart |
