Daniel 4
1 “Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be great!
Навуходоносор царь всем людем, племеном и языком сущым во всей земли, мир вам да умножится.
2 The signs and wonders that God Most High has done with me, it is good before me to show.
Знамения и чудеса, яже сотвори со мною Бог Вышний, угодно бысть предо мною возвестити вам,
3 How great His signs! And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom [is] a continuous kingdom, and His rule [is] with generation and generation.
коль великая и крепкая: царство Его царство вечное, и власть Его в роды и роды.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, have been at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
Аз Навуходоносор обилуяй бех в дому моем и благоцветый на престоле моем:
5 a dream I have seen, and it makes me afraid, and the conceptions on my bed, and the visions of my head, trouble me.
сон видех, и устраши мя, и смятохся на ложи моем, и видения главы моея смятоша мя:
6 And by me a decree is made, to cause all the wise men of Babylon to come up before me, that the interpretation of the dream they may cause me to know.
и мною положися повеление, привести пред мя вся мужы мудрыя Вавилонския, да сказание сна возвестят мне.
7 Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me.
И вхождаху обаятелие, волсви, газарини, Халдее, и сон аз рех пред ними, и сказания его не возвестиша ми,
8 And at last Daniel has come up before me, whose name [is] Belteshazzar—according to the name of my god—and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I have told:
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 scribes, as I have known that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in you, and no secret presses you, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation, tell.
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 As for the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height [is] great:
И видение главы моея на ложи моем зрех, и се, древо среде земли, и высота его велика:
11 the tree has become great, indeed, strong, and its height reaches to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the whole land;
и возвеличися древо то и укрепися, и высота его досязаше до небесе, и величина его до конец земли всея,
12 its leaves [are] beautiful, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it: under it the beast of the field takes shade, and in its boughs dwell the birds of the heavens, and of it are all flesh fed.
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 I was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down.
Видех во сне нощию на ложи моем, и се, Бодрый и Святый от небесе сниде
14 He is calling mightily, and thus has said, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and the birds from off 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 the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts [is] his portion in the herb of the earth;
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 his heart from man’s is changed, and the heart of a beast is given to him, and seven times pass over him;
сердце его от человек изменится, и сердце зверино дастся ему, и седмь времен изменятся над ним:
17 by the decree of the sifters [is] the sentence, and by the saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it, and the lowest of men He raises up over it.
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 have seen, I King Nebuchadnezzar; and you, O Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and 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 [is] Belteshazzar, has been astonished about one hour, and his thoughts trouble him; the king has answered and said, “O Belteshazzar, do not let the dream and its interpretation trouble you.” Belteshazzar has answered and said, “My lord, the dream—to those hating you, and its interpretation—to your enemies!
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 that you have seen, that has become great and strong, and its height reaches to the heavens, and its vision to all the land,
Древо, еже видел еси возвеличившееся и укрепившееся, егоже высота досязаше до небесе и величина его на всю землю,
21 and its leaves [are] beautiful, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it, under it the beast of the field dwells, and on its boughs the birds of the heavens sit.
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, for you have become great and mighty, and your greatness has become great, and has reached to the heavens, and your dominion 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 that which the king has seen—a sifter, even a holy one, coming down from the heavens, and he has said, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens it is wet, and with the beast of the field [is] his portion, until seven times pass over him.
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 interpretation, O king, and it [is] the decree of the Most High that has come against my lord the king:
сие сказание его, царю, и изречение Вышняго есть, еже приспе на господина моего царя:
25 and they are driving you away from men, and your dwelling is with the beast of the field, and they cause you to eat the herb as oxen, and they are wetting you by the dew of the heavens, and pass over you seven times, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it.
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 that which they said—to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom abides for you, after that you know that the heavens are ruling.
А еже рече: оставите проничение корения древа (в земли): царство твое тебе будет, отнележе увеси власть небесную.
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and your sins by righteousness break off, and your perversity by pitying the poor, behold, it is a lengthening of your ease.”
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—has come on Nebuchadnezzar the king.
Сия вся постигоша Навуходоносора царя.
29 At the end of twelve months, on the palace of the kingdom of Babylon he has been walking;
По двоюнадесяти месяцех в дому царства своего, в Вавилоне бе ходя,
30 the king has answered and said, “Is this not that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of my honor?”
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 is [in] the king’s mouth a voice from the heavens has fallen: “They are saying to you: O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom has passed from you,
Еще слову сущу во устех каря, глас с небесе бысть: тебе глаголется, Навуходоносоре царю: цартво твое прейде от тебе,
32 and from men they are driving you away, and your dwelling [is] with the beast of the field, they cause you to eat the herb as oxen, and pass over you seven times, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it.”
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 In that hour the thing has been fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar, and from men he is driven, and he eats the herb as oxen, and his body is wet by the dew of the heavens, until his hair has become great as eagles, and his nails as 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, have lifted up my eyes to the heavens, and my understanding returns to me, and I have blessed the Most High, and the Perpetual Living One I have praised and honored, whose dominion [is] a continuous dominion, and His kingdom with generation and 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 who are dwelling on the earth are reckoned as nothing, and according to His will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that claps with his hand and says to Him, What have You done?
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 that time my understanding returns to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and my brightness return to me, and to me my counselors and my great men seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant greatness has been added to me.
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, am praising and exalting and honoring the King of the heavens, for all His works [are] truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.”
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.
