Daniel 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages living in all the earth: May your peace be increased.
Навуходоносор царь всем людем, племеном и языком сущым во всей земли, мир вам да умножится.
2 It has seemed good to me to make clear the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done with me.
Знамения и чудеса, яже сотвори со мною Бог Вышний, угодно бысть предо мною возвестити вам,
3 How great are his signs! and how full of power are his wonders! his kingdom is an eternal kingdom and his rule goes on from generation to generation.
коль великая и крепкая: царство Его царство вечное, и власть Его в роды и роды.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my place, and all things were going well for me in my great house:
Аз Навуходоносор обилуяй бех в дому моем и благоцветый на престоле моем:
5 I saw a dream which was a cause of great fear to me; I was troubled by the images of my mind on my bed, and by the visions of my head.
сон видех, и устраши мя, и смятохся на ложи моем, и видения главы моея смятоша мя:
6 And I gave orders for all the wise men of Babylon to come in before me so that they might make clear to me the sense of my dream.
и мною положися повеление, привести пред мя вся мужы мудрыя Вавилонския, да сказание сна возвестят мне.
7 Then the wonder-workers, the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs came in to me: and I put the dream before them but they did not make clear the sense of it to me.
И вхождаху обаятелие, волсви, газарини, Халдее, и сон аз рех пред ними, и сказания его не возвестиша ми,
8 But at last Daniel came in before me, he whose name was Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I put the dream before him, saying,
дондеже вниде (пред мя) Даниил, емуже имя Валтасар, по имения бога моего, иже духа Божия свята имать в себе, и сон пред ним рех:
9 O Belteshazzar, master of the wonder-workers, because I am certain that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and you are troubled by no secret; this is the dream which I saw: make clear to me its sense.
Валтасаре, княже обаятелей, егоже аз разумех, яко дух Божий святый имаши, и всякая тайна не изнемогает пред тобою, слыши видение сна моего, еже видех, и сказание его повеждь мне.
10 On my bed I saw a vision: there was a tree in the middle of the earth, and it was very high.
И видение главы моея на ложи моем зрех, и се, древо среде земли, и высота его велика:
11 And the tree became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven, and to be seen from the ends of the earth:
и возвеличися древо то и укрепися, и высота его досязаше до небесе, и величина его до конец земли всея,
12 Its leaves were fair and it had much fruit, and in it was food enough for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the birds of heaven were resting in its branches, and it gave food to all living things.
листвие его прекрасное, и плод его мног, и пища всех в нем, и под ним вселяхуся вси зверие дивии, и в ветвех его живяху (вся) птицы небесныя, и от него питашеся всяка плоть.
13 In the visions of my head on my bed I saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven,
Видех во сне нощию на ложи моем, и се, Бодрый и Святый от небесе сниде
14 Crying out with a loud voice; and this is what he said: Let the tree be cut down and its branches broken off; let its leaves be taken off and its fruit sent in every direction: let the beasts get away from under it and the birds from its branches:
и возгласи крепце и тако рече: посецыте древо и обийте ветви его, и оттрясите листвие его и разсыплите плод его, да позыблются зверие под ним и птицы с ветвий его:
15 But keep its broken end and its roots still in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass; let him have the young grass of the field for food, and let him be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his part be with the beasts.
точию отрасль корения его в земли оставите, и во узе железне и медне, и во злаце внешнем и в росе небесней вселится, и со зверьми (дивиими) часть его во траве земней:
16 Let his heart be changed from that of a man, and the heart of a beast be given to him; and let seven times go by him.
сердце его от человек изменится, и сердце зверино дастся ему, и седмь времен изменятся над ним:
17 This order is fixed by the watchers, and the decision is by the word of the holy ones: so that the living may be certain that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure, lifting up over it the lowest of men.
изречением Бодраго слово, и глагол Святых прошение: да уведят живущии, яко владеет Вышний царством человеческим, и емуже восхощет, даст е, и уничтоженное человеков возставит над ним.
18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw; and do you, O Belteshazzar, make clear the sense of it, for all the wise men of my kingdom are unable to make the sense of it clear to me; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
Сей сон, егоже видех аз Навуходоносор царь: ты же, Валтасаре, сказание его повеждь, яко вси мудрии царства моего не могут сказания его поведати мне, ты же, Данииле, можеши, яко дух Божий свят в тебе.
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was at a loss for a time, his thoughts troubling him. The king made answer and said, Belteshazzar, do not be troubled by the dream or by the sense of it. Belteshazzar, answering, said, My lord, may the dream be about your haters, and its sense about those who are against you.
Тогда Даниил, емуже имя Валтасар, ужасеся аки на един час, и размышления его смущаху его. И отвеща царь и рече: Валтасаре, сон мой и сказание его да не смущает тебе. И отвеща Валтасар и рече: господине, да будет сон сей ненавидящым тя, и сказание его врагом твоим.
20 The tree which you saw, which became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven and seen from the ends of the earth;
Древо, еже видел еси возвеличившееся и укрепившееся, егоже высота досязаше до небесе и величина его на всю землю,
21 Which had fair leaves and much fruit, and had in it food for all; under which the beasts of the field were living, and in the branches of which the birds of heaven had their resting-places:
и листвие его благоцветное и плод его мног, и пища всем в нем, под ним живяху зверие дивии, и в ветвех его угнездяхуся птицы небесныя:
22 It is you, O King, who have become great and strong: for your power is increased and stretching up to heaven, and your rule to the end of the earth.
ты еси, царю, яко возвеличился еси и укрепел, и величество твое возвеличися и досяже небесе, и власть твоя до конец земли.
23 And as for the vision which the king saw of a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven, saying, Let the tree be cut down and given to destruction;
И яко виде царь Бодраго и Святаго сходяща с небесе, и рече: посецыте древо и разсыплите е, точию проничение корения его в земли оставите, и во узе железне и медяне и во злаце внешнем и в росе небесней водворится, и со зверьми дивиими часть его, дондеже седмь времен пременятся над ним:
24 This is the sense of it, O King, and it is the decision of the Most High which has come on my lord the king:
сие сказание его, царю, и изречение Вышняго есть, еже приспе на господина моего царя:
25 That they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and you will be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.
изженут тя от человек, и с дивиими зверьми будет житие твое, и травою аки вола напитают тя, и от росы небесныя тело твое оросится, и седмь времен изменятся над тобою, дондеже увеси, яко владеет Вышний царством человеческим, и емуже восхощет, даст е.
26 And as they gave orders to let the broken end and the roots of the tree be, so your kingdom will be safe for you after it is clear to you that the heavens are ruling.
А еже рече: оставите проничение корения древа (в земли): царство твое тебе будет, отнележе увеси власть небесную.
27 For this cause, O King, let my suggestion be pleasing to you, and let your sins be covered by righteousness and your evil-doing by mercy to the poor, so that the time of your well-being may be longer.
Сего ради, царю совет мой да будет тебе угоден, и грехи твоя милостынями искупи и неправды твоя щедротами убогих: негли будет долготерпелив грехом твоим Бог.
28 All this came to King Nebuchadnezzar.
Сия вся постигоша Навуходоносора царя.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of his great house in Babylon.
По двоюнадесяти месяцех в дому царства своего, в Вавилоне бе ходя,
30 The king made answer and said, Is this not great Babylon, which I have made for the living-place of kings, by the strength of my power and for the glory of my honour?
отвеща царь и рече: несть ли сей Вавилон великий, егоже аз соградих в дом царства, в державе крепости моея, в честь славы моея?
31 While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice came down from heaven, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is said: The kingdom has gone from you:
Еще слову сущу во устех каря, глас с небесе бысть: тебе глаголется, Навуходоносоре царю: цартво твое прейде от тебе,
32 And they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.
и от человек отженут тя, и со зверьми дивиими житие твое, и травою аки вола напитают тя и седмь времен изменятся на тебе, дондеже увеси, яко владеет Вышний царством человеческим, и емуже восхощет, даст е.
33 That very hour the order about Nebuchadnezzar was put into effect: and he was sent out from among men, and had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair became long as eagles' feathers and his nails like those of birds.
В той час слово скончася на цари Навуходоносоре, и от человек отгнася, и траву аки вол ядяше, и от росы небесныя тело его оросися, дондеже власи ему яко льву возрастоша и ногти ему аки птицам.
34 And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.
И по скончании тех дний, аз Навуходоносор очи свои на небо воздвиг, и ум мой ко мне возвратися, и Вышняго благослових, и Живущаго во веки похвалих и прославих, яко власть Его власть вечна, и царство Его в роды и роды,
35 And all the people of the earth are as nothing: he does his pleasure in the army of heaven and among the people of the earth: and no one is able to keep back his hand, or say to him, What are you doing?
и вси живущии на земли ни во чтоже вменишася, и по воли Своей творит в силе небесней и в селении земнем: и несть, иже воспротивится руце Его и речет Ему: что сотворил еси?
36 At the same time my reason came back to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my great name came back to me; and my wise men and my lords were turned to me again; and I was made safe in my kingdom and had more power than before.
В то время ум мой возвратися ко мне, и в честь царства моего приидох, и зрак мой возвратися ко мне, и началницы мои и вельможи мои искаху мене: и в царстве моем утвердихся, и величество изюбилнее приложися мне.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give worship and praise and honour to the King of heaven; for all his works are true and his ways are right: and those who go in pride he is able to make low.
Ныне убо аз Навуходоносор хвалю и превозношу и славлю Царя Небеснаго, яко вся дела Его истинна, и путие Его судбы, и вся ходящыя в гордости может смирити.
