Daniel 2

1 In the second year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, Nabuchodonosor had a dream, and his spirit was terrified, and his dream went out of his mind.

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

2 Then the king commanded to call together the diviners and the wise men, and the magicians, and the Chaldeans: to declare to the king his dreams: so they came and stood 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 saw a dream: and being troubled in mind I know not what I saw.

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

4 And the Chaldeans answered the king in Syriac: O king, live for ever: tell to thy servants thy dream, and we will declare the interpretation thereof.

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

5 And the king answering said to the Chaldeans: The thing is gone out of my mind: unless you tell me the dream, and the meaning thereof, you shall be put to death, and your houses shall be confiscated.

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

6 But if you tell the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall receive of me rewards, and gifts, and great honour: therefore tell me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

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

7 They answered again and said: Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will declare the interpretation of it.

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

8 The king answered, and said: I know for certain that you seek to gain time, since you know that the thing is gone from me.

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

9 If therefore you tell me not the dream, there is one sentence concerning you, that you have also framed a lying interpretation, and full of deceit, to speak before me till the time pass away. Tell me therefore the dream, that I may know that you also give a true interpretation thereof.

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 Chaldeains answered before the king, and said: There is no man upon earth, that can accomplish thy word, O king, neither doth any king, though great and mighty, ask such a thing of any diviner, or wise man, or Chaldean.

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 For the thing that thou askest, O king, is difficult; nor can any one be found that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.

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

12 Upon hearing this, the king in fury, and in great wrath, commanded that all the wise men of Babylon should be put to death.

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

13 And the decree being gone forth, the wise men were slain: and Daniel and his companions were sought for, to be put to death.

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

14 Then Daniel inquired concerning the law and the sentence, of Arioch the general of the king’s army, who was gone forth to kill 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 And he asked him that had received the orders of the king, why so cruel a sentence was gone forth from the face of the king. And when Arioch had told the matter to Daniel,

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

16 Daniel went in and desired of the king, that he would give him time to resolve the question and declare it to the king.

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

17 And he went into his house, and told the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias his companions:

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

18 To the end that they should ask mercy at the face of the God of heaven concerning this secret, and that Daniel and his companions might not perish 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 was the mystery revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night: and Daniel blessed the God of heaven,

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

20 And speaking he said: Blessed be the name of the Lord from eternity and for evermore: for wisdom and fortitude are his.

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

21 And he changeth times and ages: taketh away kingdoms and establisheth them, giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding.

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

22 He revealeth deep and hidden things, and knoweth what is in darkness: and light is with him.

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

23 To thee, O God of our fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee: because thou hast given me wisdom and strength: and now thou hast shewn me what we desired of thee, for thou hast made known to us, the king’s discourse.

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

24 After this Daniel went in to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to the king.

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 in haste brought in Daniel to the king, and said to him: I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Juda, that will resolve the question to the king.

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 answered, and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltassar: Thinkest thou indeed that thou canst tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation thereof?

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

27 And Daniel made answer before the king, and said: The secret that the king desireth to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, or the diviners, or the soothsayers can declare to the king.

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 that revealeth mysteries, who hath shewn to thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, what is to come to pass in the latter times. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy 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 Thou, O king, didst begin to think in thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth mysteries shewed thee what shall come to pass.

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

30 To me also this secret is revealed, not by any wisdom that I have more than all men alive: but that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and thou mightest know the thoughts of thy mind.

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

31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold there was as it were a great statue: this statue, which was great and high, tall of stature, stood before thee, and the look thereof was terrible.

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

32 The head of this statue was of fine gold, but the breast and the arms of silver, and the belly and the thighs of brass:

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

33 And the legs of iron, the feet part of iron and part of clay.

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

34 Thus thou sawest, till a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands: and it struck the statue upon the feet thereof that were of iron and of clay, and broke them in pieces.

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

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of a summer’s thrashingfloor, and they were carried away by the wind: and there was no place found for them: but the stone that struck the statue, became a great mountain, and filled the whole 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: we will also tell the interpretation thereof before thee, O king.

٣٦ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْحُلْمُ. فَنُخْبِرُ بِتَعْبِيرِهِ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

37 Thou art a king of kings: and the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, and strength, and power, and glory:

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

38 And all places wherein the children of men, and the beasts of the field do dwell: he hath also given the birds of the air into thy hand, and hath put all things under thy power: thou therefore art 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 thee shall rise up another kingdom, inferior to thee, of silver: and another third kingdom of brass, which shall rule over all the world.

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

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as iron. As iron breaketh into pieces, and subdueth all things, so shall that break and destroy all these.

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

41 Arid whereas thou sawest the feet, and the toes, part of potter’s clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be divided, but yet it shall take its origin from the iron, according as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay.

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 part of iron, and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

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

43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall be mingled indeed together with the seed of man, but they shall not stick fast one to another, as iron cannot be mixed with clay.

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

44 But in the days of those kingdoms the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people, and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms, and itself shall stand 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 According as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces, the clay, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is faithful.

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 Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.

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

47 And the king spoke to Daniel, and said: Verily your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and a revealer of hidden things: seeing thou couldst discover this secret.

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

48 Then the king advanced Daniel to a high station, and gave him many and great gifts: and he made him governor over all the provinces of Babylon, and chief of the magistrates 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 Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago over the works of the province of Babylon: but Daniel himself was in the king’s palace.

٤٩ فَطَلَبَ دَانِيآلُ مِنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَوَلَّى شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ وِلَايَةِ بَابِلَ. أَمَّا دَانِيآلُ فَكَانَ فِي بَابِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.
