Daniel 2

1 In the second year of the rule of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep went from him.

١ وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ، حَلَمَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ أَحْلَامًا، فَٱنْزَعَجَتْ رُوحُهُ وَطَارَ عَنْهُ نَوْمُهُ.

2 Then the king gave orders that the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and those who made use of evil powers, and the Chaldaeans, were to be sent for to make clear to the king his dreams. So they came and took their places before the king.

٢ فَأَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُسْتَدْعَى ٱلْمَجُوسُ وَٱلسَّحَرَةُ وَٱلْعَرَّافُونَ وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ لِيُخْبِرُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ بِأَحْلَامِهِ. فَأَتَوْا وَوَقَفُوا أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

3 And the king said to them, I have had a dream, and my spirit is troubled by the desire to have the dream made clear to me.

٣ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «قَدْ حَلَمْتُ حُلْمًا وَٱنْزَعَجَتْ رُوحِي لِمَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْحُلْمِ».

4 Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in the Aramaean language, O King, have life for ever: give your servants an account of your dream, and we will make clear to you the sense of it.

٤ فَكَلَّمَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ ٱلْمَلِكَ بِٱلْأَرَامِيَّةِ: «عِشْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. أَخْبِرْ عَبِيدَكَ بِٱلْحُلْمِ فَنُبَيِّنَ تَعْبِيرَهُ».

5 The king made answer and said to the Chaldaeans, This is my decision: if you do not make clear to me the dream and the sense of it, you will be cut in bits and your houses made waste.

٥ فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ لِلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ: «قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنِّي ٱلْقَوْلُ: إِنْ لَمْ تُنْبِئُونِي بِٱلْحُلْمِ وَبِتَعْبِيرِهِ، تُصَيَّرُونَ إِرْبًا إِرْبًا وَتُجْعَلُ بُيُوتُكُمْ مَزْبَلَةً.

6 But if you make clear the dream and the sense of it, you will have from me offerings and rewards and great honour: so make clear to me the dream and the sense of it.

٦ وَإِنْ بَيَّنْتُمُ ٱلْحُلْمَ وَتَعْبِيرَهُ، تَنَالُونَ مِنْ قِبَلِي هَدَايَا وَحَلَاوِينَ وَإِكْرَامًا عَظِيمًا. فَبَيِّنُوا لِي ٱلْحُلْمَ وَتَعْبِيرَهُ».

7 A second time they said in answer, Let the king give his servants an account of his dream, and we will make clear the sense.

٧ فَأَجَابُوا ثَانِيَةً وَقَالُوا: «لِيُخْبِرِ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَبِيدَهُ بِٱلْحُلْمِ فَنُبَيِّنَ تَعْبِيرَهُ».

8 The king made answer and said, I am certain that you are attempting to get more time, because you see that my decision is fixed;

٨ أَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ يَقِينًا أَنَّكُمْ تَكْتَسِبُونَ وَقْتًا، إِذْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْقَوْلَ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنِّي

9 That if you do not make my dream clear to me there is only one fate for you: for you have made ready false and evil words to say before me till the times are changed: so give me an account of the dream, and I will be certain that you are able to make the sense of it clear.

٩ بِأَنَّهُ إِنْ لَمْ تُنْبِئُونِي بِٱلْحُلْمِ فَقَضَاؤُكُمْ وَاحِدٌ. لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدِ ٱتَّفَقْتُمْ عَلَى كَلَامٍ كَذِبٍ وَفَاسِدٍ لِتَتَكَلَّمُوا بِهِ قُدَّامِي إِلَى أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلَ ٱلْوَقْتُ. فَأَخْبِرُونِي بِٱلْحُلْمِ، فَأَعْلَمَ أَنَّكُمْ تُبَيِّنُونَ لِي تَعْبِيرَهُ».

10 Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in answer, There is not a man on earth able to make clear the king's business; for no king, however great his power, has ever made such a request to any wonder-worker or user of secret arts or Chaldaean.

١٠ أَجَابَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَقَالُوا: «لَيْسَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِنْسَانٌ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُبَيِّنَ أَمْرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. لِذَلِكَ لَيْسَ مَلِكٌ عَظِيمٌ ذُو سُلْطَانٍ سَأَلَ أَمْرًا مِثْلَ هَذَا مِنْ مَجُوسِيٍّ أَوْ سَاحِرٍ أَوْ كَلْدَانِيٍّ.

11 The king's request is a very hard one, and there is no other who is able to make it clear to the king, but the gods, whose living-place is not with flesh.

١١ وَٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي يَطْلُبُهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَسِرٌ، وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ يُبَيِّنُهُ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ غَيْرَ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَتْ سُكْنَاهُمْ مَعَ ٱلْبَشَرِ».

12 Because of this the king was angry and full of wrath, and gave orders for the destruction of all the wise men of Babylon.

١٢ لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ غَضِبَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَٱغْتَاظَ جِدًّا وَأَمَرَ بِإِبَادَةِ كُلِّ حُكَمَاءِ بَابِلَ.

13 So the order went out that the wise men were to be put to death; and they were looking for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.

١٣ فَخَرَجَ ٱلْأَمْرُ، وَكَانَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ يُقْتَلُونَ. فَطَلَبُوا دَانِيآلَ وَأَصْحَابَهُ لِيَقْتُلُوهُمْ.

14 Then Daniel gave an answer with wisdom and good sense to Arioch, the captain of the king's armed men, who had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon;

١٤ حِينَئِذٍ أَجَابَ دَانِيآلُ بِحِكْمَةٍ وَعَقْلٍ لِأَرْيُوخَ رَئِيسِ شُرَطِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِي خَرَجَ لِيَقْتُلَ حُكَمَاءَ بَابِلَ، أَجَابَ وَقَالَ لِأَرْيُوخَ قَائِدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ:

15 He made answer and said to Arioch, O captain of the king, why is the king's order so cruel? Then Arioch gave Daniel an account of the business.

١٥ «لِمَاذَا ٱشْتَدَّ ٱلْأَمْرُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلْمَلِكِ؟» حِينَئِذٍ أَخْبَرَ أَرْيُوخُ دَانِيآلَ بِٱلْأَمْرِ.

16 And Daniel went in and made a request to the king to give him time and he would make clear the sense of his dream to the king.

١٦ فَدَخَلَ دَانِيآلُ وَطَلَبَ مِنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ وَقْتًا فَيُبَيِّنُ لِلْمَلِكِ ٱلتَّعْبِيرَ.

17 And Daniel went to his house and gave his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah the news:

١٧ حِينَئِذٍ مَضَى دَانِيآلُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَأَعْلَمَ حَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا أَصْحَابَهُ بِٱلْأَمْرِ،

18 So that they might make a request for the mercy of the God of heaven in the question of this secret; so that Daniel and his friends might not come to destruction with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

١٨ لِيَطْلُبُوا ٱلْمَرَاحِمَ مِنْ قِبَلِ إِلَهِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ مِنْ جِهَةِ هَذَا ٱلسِّرِّ، لِكَيْ لَا يَهْلِكَ دَانِيآلُ وَأَصْحَابُهُ مَعَ سَائِرِ حُكَمَاءِ بَابِلَ.

19 Then the secret was made clear to Daniel in a vision of the night. And Daniel gave blessing to the God of heaven.

١٩ حِينَئِذٍ لِدَانِيآلَ كُشِفَ ٱلسِّرُّ فِي رُؤْيَا ٱللَّيْلِ. فَبَارَكَ دَانِيآلُ إِلَهَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

20 And Daniel said in answer, May the name of God be praised for ever and ever: for wisdom and strength are his:

٢٠ أَجَابَ دَانِيآلُ وَقَالَ: «لِيَكُنِ ٱسْمُ ٱللهِ مُبَارَكًا مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِأَنَّ لَهُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَٱلْجَبَرُوتَ.

21 By him times and years are changed: by him kings are taken away and kings are lifted up: he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those whose minds are awake:

٢١ وَهُوَ يُغَيِّرُ ٱلْأَوْقَاتَ وَٱلْأَزْمِنَةَ. يَعْزِلُ مُلُوكًا وَيُنَصِّبُ مُلُوكًا. يُعْطِي ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ حِكْمَةً، وَيُعَلِّمُ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ فَهْمًا.

22 He is the unveiler of deep and secret things: he has knowledge of what is in the dark, and the light has its living-place with him.

٢٢ هُوَ يَكْشِفُ ٱلْعَمَائِقَ وَٱلْأَسْرَارَ. يَعْلَمُ مَا هُوَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَعِنْدَهُ يَسْكُنُ ٱلنُّورُ.

23 I give you praise and worship, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and strength, and have now made clear to me what we were requesting from you: for you have given us knowledge of the king's business.

٢٣ إِيَّاكَ يَا إِلَهَ آبَائِي أَحْمَدُ، وَأُسَبِّحُ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانِي ٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَٱلْقُوَّةَ وَأَعْلَمَنِي ٱلْآنَ مَا طَلَبْنَاهُ مِنْكَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَعْلَمْتَنَا أَمْرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ».

24 For this reason Daniel went to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders for the destruction of the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, Do not put to death the wise men of Babylon: take me in before the king and I will make clear to him the sense of the dream.

٢٤ فَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ دَخَلَ دَانِيآلُ إِلَى أَرْيُوخَ ٱلَّذِي عَيَّنَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِإِبَادَةِ حُكَمَاءِ بَابِلَ، مَضَى وَقَالَ لَهُ هَكَذَا: «لَا تُبِدْ حُكَمَاءَ بَابِلَ. أَدْخِلْنِي إِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ فَأُبَيِّنَ لِلْمَلِكِ ٱلتَّعْبِيرَ».

25 Then Arioch quickly took Daniel in before the king, and said to him, Here is a man from among the prisoners of Judah, who will make clear to the king the sense of the dream.

٢٥ حِينَئِذٍ دَخَلَ أَرْيُوخُ بِدَانِيآلَ إِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ مُسْرِعًا وَقَالَ لَهُ هَكَذَا: «قَدْ وَجَدْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي سَبْيِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِي يُعَرِّفُ ٱلْمَلِكَ بِٱلتَّعْبِيرِ».

26 The king made answer and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make clear to me the dream which I saw and its sense?

٢٦ أَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ لِدَانِيآلَ، ٱلَّذِي ٱسْمُهُ بَلْطَشَاصَّرُ: «هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْتَ عَلَى أَنْ تُعَرِّفَنِي بِٱلْحُلْمِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُ، وَبِتَعْبِيرِهِ؟»

27 Then Daniel said in answer to the king, No wise men, or users of secret arts, or wonder-workers, or readers of signs, are able to make clear to the king the secret he is searching for;

٢٧ أَجَابَ دَانِيآلُ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَقَالَ: «ٱلسِّرُّ ٱلَّذِي طَلَبَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ لَا تَقْدِرُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ وَلَا ٱلسَّحَرَةُ وَلَا ٱلْمَجُوسُ وَلَا ٱلْمُنَجِّمُونَ عَلَى أَنْ يُبَيِّنُوهُ لِلْمَلِكِ.

28 But there is a God in heaven, the unveiler of secrets, and he has given to King Nebuchadnezzar knowledge of what will take place in the last days. Your dreams and the visions of your head on your bed are these:

٢٨ لَكِنْ يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَاشِفُ ٱلْأَسْرَارِ، وَقَدْ عَرَّفَ ٱلْمَلِكَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَا يَكُونُ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ. حُلْمُكَ وَرُؤْيَا رَأْسِكَ عَلَى فِرَاشِكَ هُوَ هَذَا:

29 As for you, O King, the thoughts which came to you on your bed were of what will come about after this: and the unveiler of secrets has made clear to you what is to come.

٢٩ أَنْتَ يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ أَفْكَارُكَ عَلَى فِرَاشِكَ صَعِدَتْ إِلَى مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِ هَذَا، وَكَاشِفُ ٱلْأَسْرَارِ يُعَرِّفُكَ بِمَا يَكُونُ.

30 As for me, this secret is not made clear to me because of any wisdom which I have more than any living man, but in order that the sense of the dream may be made clear to the king, and that you may have knowledge of the thoughts of your heart.

٣٠ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ يُكْشَفْ لِي هَذَا ٱلسِّرُّ لِحِكْمَةٍ فِيَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ، وَلَكِنْ لِكَيْ يُعَرَّفَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِٱلتَّعْبِيرِ، وَلِكَيْ تَعْلَمَ أَفْكَارَ قَلْبِكَ.

31 You, O King, were looking, and a great image was there. This image, which was very great, and whose glory was very bright, was placed before you: its form sent fear into the heart.

٣١ «أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ كُنْتَ تَنْظُرُ وَإِذَا بِتِمْثَالٍ عَظِيمٍ. هَذَا ٱلتِّمْثَالُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلْبَهِيُّ جِدًّا وَقَفَ قُبَالَتَكَ، وَمَنْظَرُهُ هَائِلٌ.

32 As for this image, its head was made of the best gold, its breast and its arms were of silver, its middle and its sides were of brass,

٣٢ رَأْسُ هَذَا ٱلتِّمْثَالِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ جَيِّدٍ. صَدْرُهُ وَذِرَاعَاهُ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ. بَطْنُهُ وَفَخْذَاهُ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

33 Its legs of iron, its feet were in part of iron and in part of potter's earth.

٣٣ سَاقَاهُ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ. قَدَمَاهُ بَعْضُهُمَا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَٱلْبَعْضُ مِنْ خَزَفٍ.

34 While you were looking at it, a stone was cut out, but not by hands, and it gave the image a blow on its feet, which were of iron and earth, and they were broken in bits.

٣٤ كُنْتَ تَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَنْ قُطِعَ حَجَرٌ بِغَيْرِ يَدَيْنِ، فَضَرَبَ ٱلتِّمْثَالَ عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ ٱللَّتَيْنِ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَخَزَفٍ فَسَحَقَهُمَا.

35 Then the iron and the earth, the brass and the silver and the gold, were smashed together, and became like the dust on the floors where grain is crushed in summer; and the wind took them away so that no sign of them was to be seen: and the stone which gave the image a blow became a great mountain, covering all the earth.

٣٥ فَٱنْسَحَقَ حِينَئِذٍ ٱلْحَدِيدُ وَٱلْخَزَفُ وَٱلنُّحَاسُ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلذَّهَبُ مَعًا، وَصَارَتْ كَعُصَافَةِ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ فِي ٱلصَّيْفِ، فَحَمَلَتْهَا ٱلرِّيحُ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهَا مَكَانٌ. أَمَّا ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبَ ٱلتِّمْثَالَ فَصَارَ جَبَلًا كَبِيرًا وَمَلَأَ ٱلْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا.

36 This is the dream; and we will make clear to the king the sense of it.

٣٦ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْحُلْمُ. فَنُخْبِرُ بِتَعْبِيرِهِ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

37 You, O King, king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory,

٣٧ «أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ مَلِكُ مُلُوكٍ، لِأَنَّ إِلَهَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ أَعْطَاكَ مَمْلَكَةً وَٱقْتِدَارًا وَسُلْطَانًا وَفَخْرًا.

38 Wherever the children of men are living; into whose hands he has given the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven, and has made you ruler over them all, you are the head of gold.

٣٨ وَحَيْثُمَا يَسْكُنُ بَنُو ٱلْبَشَرِ وَوُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّ وَطُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ دَفَعَهَا لِيَدِكَ وَسَلَّطَكَ عَلَيْهَا جَمِيعِهَا. فَأَنْتَ هَذَا ٱلرَّأْسُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

39 And after you another kingdom, lower than you, will come to power; and a third kingdom, of brass, ruling over all the earth.

٣٩ وَبَعْدَكَ تَقُومُ مَمْلَكَةٌ أُخْرَى أَصْغَرُ مِنْكَ وَمَمْلَكَةٌ ثَالِثَةٌ أُخْرَى مِنْ نُحَاسٍ فَتَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

40 And the fourth kingdom will be strong as iron: because, as all things are broken and overcome by iron, so it will have the power of crushing and smashing down all the earth.

٤٠ وَتَكُونُ مَمْلَكَةٌ رَابِعَةٌ صَلْبَةٌ كَٱلْحَدِيدِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْحَدِيدَ يَدُقُّ وَيَسْحَقُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. وَكَالْحَدِيدِ ٱلَّذِي يُكَسِّرُ تَسْحَقُ وَتُكَسِّرُ كُلَّ هَؤُلَاءِ.

41 And as you saw the feet and toes, part of potter's work and part of iron, there will be a division in the kingdom; but there will be some of the strength of iron in it, because you saw the iron mixed with the potter's earth.

٤١ وَبِمَا رَأَيْتَ ٱلْقَدَمَيْنِ وَٱلْأَصَابِعَ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ خَزَفٍ وَٱلْبَعْضُ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، فَٱلْمَمْلَكَةُ تَكُونُ مُنْقَسِمَةً، وَيَكُونُ فِيهَا قُوَّةُ ٱلْحَدِيدِ مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّكَ رَأَيْتَ ٱلْحَدِيدَ مُخْتَلِطًا بِخَزَفِ ٱلطِّينِ.

42 And as the toes of the feet were in part of iron and in part of earth, so part of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will readily be broken.

٤٢ وَأَصَابِعُ ٱلْقَدَمَيْنِ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَٱلْبَعْضُ مِنْ خَزَفٍ، فَبَعْضُ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ يَكُونُ قَوِيًّا وَٱلْبَعْضُ قَصِمًا.

43 And as you saw the iron mixed with earth, they will give their daughters to one another as wives: but they will not be united one with another, even as iron is not mixed with earth.

٤٣ وَبِمَا رَأَيْتَ ٱلْحَدِيدَ مُخْتَلِطًا بِخَزَفِ ٱلطِّينِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَخْتَلِطُونَ بِنَسْلِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَتَلَاصَقُ هَذَا بِذَاكَ، كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْحَدِيدَ لَا يَخْتَلِطُ بِٱلْخَزَفِ.

44 And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will put up a kingdom which will never come to destruction, and its power will never be given into the hands of another people, and all these kingdoms will be broken and overcome by it, but it will keep its place for ever.

٤٤ وَفِي أَيَّامِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ، يُقِيمُ إِلَهُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ مَمْلَكَةً لَنْ تَنْقَرِضَ أَبَدًا، وَمَلِكُهَا لَا يُتْرَكُ لِشَعْبٍ آخَرَ، وَتَسْحَقُ وَتُفْنِي كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ، وَهِيَ تَثْبُتُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

45 Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that by it the iron and the brass and the earth and the silver and the gold were broken to bits, a great God has given the king knowledge of what is to take place in the future: the dream is fixed, and its sense is certain.

٤٥ لِأَنَّكَ رَأَيْتَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ قُطِعَ حَجَرٌ مِنْ جَبَلٍ لَا بِيَدَيْنِ، فَسَحَقَ ٱلْحَدِيدَ وَٱلنُّحَاسَ وَٱلْخَزَفَ وَٱلْفِضَّةَ وَٱلذَّهَبَ. ٱللهُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ قَدْ عَرَّفَ ٱلْمَلِكَ مَا سَيَأْتِي بَعْدَ هَذَا. اَلْحُلْمُ حَقٌّ وَتَعْبِيرُهُ يَقِينٌ».

46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar, falling down on his face, gave worship to Daniel, and gave orders for an offering and spices to be given to him;

٤٦ حِينَئِذٍ خَرَّ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَسَجَدَ لِدَانِيآلَ، وَأَمَرَ بِأَنْ يُقَدِّمُوا لَهُ تَقْدِمَةً وَرَوَائِحَ سُرُورٍ.

47 And the king made answer to Daniel and said, Truly, your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings, and an unveiler of secrets, for you have been able to make this secret clear.

٤٧ فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَانِيآلَ وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا إِنَّ إِلَهَكُمْ إِلَهُ ٱلْآلِهَةِ وَرَبُّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ وَكَاشِفُ ٱلْأَسْرَارِ، إِذِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ عَلَى كَشْفِ هَذَا ٱلسِّرِّ».

48 Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him offerings in great number, and made him ruler over all the land of Babylon, and chief over all the wise men of Babylon.

٤٨ حِينَئِذٍ عَظَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَانِيآلَ وَأَعْطَاهُ عَطَايَا كَثِيرَةً، وَسَلَّطَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ وِلَايَةِ بَابِلَ وَجَعَلَهُ رَئِيسَ ٱلشِّحَنِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ حُكَمَاءِ بَابِلَ.

49 And at Daniel's request, the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego authority over the business of the land of Babylon: but Daniel was kept near the king's person.
