Daniel 2

1 And, in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, —and his spirit, was troubled, and, his sleep, had gone from him.

And in year two of [the] reign of Nebuchadnezzar he dreamed Nebuchadnezzar dreams and it was troubled spirit his and sleep his it happened on him.

2 So the king gave word to call for the sacred scribes and for the magicians, and for the users of incantations, and for the Chaldeans, that they might tell the king his dreams, —they came in therefore, and stood before the king.

And he said the king to summon the soothsayer-priests and the conjurers and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans to tell to the king dreams his and they came and they stood before the king.

3 And the king, said to them, A dream, have I dreamed, —and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

And he said to them the king a dream I have dreamed and it was troubled spirit my to know the dream.

4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king, in Aramaic, —O king, to the ages, live! Tell the dream to thy servants, and, the interpretation, we will declare.

And they spoke the Chaldeans to the king Aramaic king O for ever live! tell! dream the (to servant your *Q(K)*) and interpretation the we will declare.

5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The word from me, is unalterable: If ye shall not make known to me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and, your houses, into a dunghill, shall be turned;

[was] replying King the and [was] saying (to Chaldeans the *Q(K)*) word the from me [is] assured if not you will make known to me dream the and interpretation its members you will be made and houses your a refuse-heap they will be made.

6 but, if, the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye will declare, gifts and a present and great dignity, shall ye receive from before me, —therefore, the dream and the interpretation thereof, declare ye unto me.

And if dream the and interpretation its you will declare gifts and a reward and honor great you will receive from before me therefore dream the and interpretation its declare to me.

7 They answered again and said, —Let, the king, tell, the dream, to his servants, and, the interpretation thereof, we will declare.

They replied a second [time] and [they were] saying king O dream the let him tell to servants his and interpretation the we will declare.

8 The king answered and said, Of a certainty, I know, that, time, ye, would gain, —merely because ye see that, unalterable, from me, is the word:

[was] replying King the and [was] saying according to certain [am] knowing I that time you [are] gaining as to because that you have seen that [is] assured from me word the.

9 That, if, the dream, ye shall not make known to me, one and the same, is the decree, and, a lying and wicked word, have ye agreed to speak before me, that meanwhile the time may be changed, —therefore, the dream, tell ye me, so shall I know that, the interpretation thereof, ye can declare for me.

That if dream the not you will make known to me [is] one it decree your and a word a lie and corrupt (you have agreed together *Q(K)*) to say before me until that time the it will be changed therefore dream the tell! to me so I may know that interpretation its you will declare to me.

10 The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth, who can declare, the matter of the king, —although indeed, there is no king, chief ruler who, a thing like this, hath asked of any sacred scribe or magician or Chaldean;

They replied (Chaldeans the *Q(K)*) before king the and [they were] saying not there [is] a person on earth the who [the] matter of king the he will be able to declare as to because that any king great and powerful a matter like this not he has asked to any magician and conjurer and Chaldean.

11 and, the thing which the king hath asked, is difficult, and, none other, is there, who can declare it before the king, —saving the gods whose dwelling is, not with flesh.

And matter the which king the [is] asking [is] difficult and [is] another not there who he will declare it before king the except gods who dwelling place their [is] with flesh not there it.

12 For this cause, the king, was provoked and exceedingly indignant, —and gave word to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;

As to because this king the he was angry and he was furious exceedingly and he said to destroy all [the] wise men of Babylon.

13 and, the decree, went forth, that, the wise men, should be slain, —and they sought Daniel and his companions that they might be slain.

And decree the it went out and wise men the [were] about to be killed and they sought Daniel and companions his to be killed.

14 Immediately, Daniel, made answer with prudence and discretion, to Arioch, chief of the executioners of the king, —who had come forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:

Then Daniel he sent back counsel and discretion to Arioch [the] chief executioners the of king the who he went out to kill [the] wise men of Babylon.

15 he began to speak and said to Arioch the king’s captain, —For what cause, is the decree raging forth from before the king? Then did Arioch make the matter known unto Daniel.

[he was] replying And [he was] saying to Arioch captain the of king the on what? [is] decree the harsh from before king the then matter the he made known Arioch to Daniel.

16 So Daniel entered in, and desired of the king, —that, an appointed time, he would give him, and then, the interpretation, he would declare unto the king.

And Daniel he went in and he asked from king the that time he will give to him and interpretation the to declare to king the.

17 Then Daniel, to his own house, departed, —and, to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, made the matter known;

Then Daniel to house his he went and to Hananiah Mishael and Azariah companions his matter the he made known.

18 that, tender compassion, they might seek from before the God of the heavens, concerning this secret, —that Daniel and his companions, might not be destroyed, with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

And compassion to ask from before [the] God of heavens the concerning secret the this that not they will destroy Daniel and companions his with [the] rest of [the] wise men of Babylon.

19 Then, unto Daniel—in a vision of the night, the secret was revealed, —whereupon, Daniel, blessed the God of the heavens:

Then to Daniel in vision the of night the secret the it was revealed then Daniel he blessed [the] God of heavens the.

20 Daniel responded, and said, Let the name of God be blessed from age to age, —in that wisdom and might, to him belong;

[was] replying Daniel and [was] saying let it be name his of true God the [be] blessed from antiquity and to perpetuity that wisdom and power which [is] to him it.

21 And, he, changeth times and seasons, removeth kings, and setteth up kings, —giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them who are skilled in understanding:

And he [is] changing times the and appointed times the [he is] removing kings and [he is] setting up kings [he is] giving wisdom to wise men and understanding to ones knowing discernment.

22 He, revealeth the deep things, and the hidden, —knoweth what is in the darkness, and, light, with him, doth dwell.

He [is] revealing deep [things] and hidden [things] [he is] knowing what? [is] in darkness the (and light the *Q(k)*) with him [is] dwelling.

23 Unto the, O God of my fathers, do I render thanks and praise, in that, wisdom and might, thou hast given unto me, —yea, already, hast thou made known to me that which we desired of thee, for, the matter of the king, hast thou made known unto us.

You - O God of fathers my [am] praising and [am] praising I that wisdom and power you have given to me and now you have made known to me that we asked from you that [the] matter of king the you made known to us.

24 Therefore, Daniel entered in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, —he went in, and, thus, he said unto him, The wise men of Babylon, do not thou destroy, bring me in before the king, and, the interpretation—unto the king, will I declare.

As to because this Daniel he went in to Arioch whom he had appointed king the to destroy [the] wise men of Babylon he went - and as follows he said to him [the] wise men of Babylon may not you destroy bring in me before king the and interpretation the to king the I will declare.

25 Thereupon, Arioch—with haste, brought in Daniel before the king, —and, thus, he said to him—I have found a man of the sons of the exile of Judah, who, the interpretation—unto the king, will make known.

Then Arioch in haste he brought in Daniel before king the and as follows he said to him that I have found a man from [the] sons of exile the of Judah who interpretation the to king the he will make known.

26 The king answered and said unto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, —Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

[was] replying King the and [was] saying to Daniel who name his [was] Belteshazzar (¿ [are] you *Q(k)*) able to make known to me dream the which I saw and interpretation its.

27 Daniel answered before the king, and said, —The secret which the king hath asked, the wise men, the magicians, the sacred scribes, the astrologers, are not able to declare unto the king;

[was] replying Daniel before king the and [was] saying secret the which king the [is] asking not wise men conjurers magicians astrologers [are] being able to declare to king the.

28 but there is a God in the heavens, who revealeth secrets, and hath made known to King Nebuchadnezzar, what shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days: Thy dream and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are, these: —

Nevertheless there [is] a God in heavens the [who] reveals secrets and he has made known to king the Nebuchadnezzar what that it will be at [the] end of days the dream your and [the] visions of head your on bed your [is] this it.

29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts upon thy bed, arose regarding what should come to pass hereafter; and, he that revealeth secrets, made known to thee what shall come to pass.

(You *Q(k)*) king O thought[s] your on bed your they came up what that it will be after this and [one who] reveals secrets he has made known to you what that it will be.

30 But, as for me—not for any wisdom that is in me, more than any of the living, is, this secret, revealed to me, —therefore, it is in order that, the interpretation—unto the king, they should make known, and that, the thoughts of thy heart, thou shouldst get to know.

And I not by wisdom which there [is] in me more than all living [people] the secret the this it has been revealed to me but on [the] cause that interpretation the to king the they will make known and [the] thoughts of heart your you will know.

31 As for thee, O king, thou wast looking, when lo! a great image, this image, being mighty, and the brightness thereof surpassing, was standing before thee, —and, the appearance thereof, was terrible.

(You *Q(k)*) king O seeing you were and lo! an image one great image the this [was] great and splendor its extraordinary [was] standing before you and appearance its [was] terrible.

32 As for this image, its head, was of fine gold, its breast and its arms, were of silver, —its belly and its thighs, of bronze;

It image the head its of gold good breast its and arms its of silver belli its and loins its of bronze.

33 its legs, of iron, —and, its feet, part of them, of iron, and, part of them, of clay.

Legs its of iron feet its (some of them *Q(K)*) of iron (and some of them *Q(K)*) of clay.

34 Thou didst look, until that a stone tare itself away, not by the aid of hands, and smote the image upon its feet, which were of iron and clay, —and they were broken in pieces.

Seeing you were until that it was cut out a stone which not [was] by hands and it struck image the on feet its of iron the and clay the and it shattered them.

35 Then were broken in pieces at once, the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and became like chaff out of the summer threshing-floors, and the wind, carried them away, and, no place, was found for them, —but, the stone that smote the image, became a mighty rock, and filled all the land.

Then they were shattered as one iron the clay the bronze the silver the and gold the and they were like chaff from threshing floors of summer and it carried away them wind the and any place not it was found for them and stone the - which it struck image the it became a mountain great and it filled all earth the.

36 This, is the dream, and, the interpretation thereof, we will tell before the king.

This [was] dream the and interpretation its we will tell before king the.

37 Thou, O king, art the king of kings, —for, the God of the heavens, hath given unto thee, the kingship, the might, the power and the dignity;

(You *Q(k)*) king O [are] [the] king of kings the whom [the] God of heavens the kingdom the power the and strength the and honor the he has given to you.

38 and, wheresoever the sons of men do dwell, the wild beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou, art the head of gold.

And over all that ([are] dwelling *Q(k)*) [the] sons of humankind [the] animal[s] of field the and [the] bird[s] of heavens the he has given in hand your and he has made ruler you over all of them (you *Q(K)*) [are] it head the of gold.

39 And, after thee, shall arise another kingdom, inferior to thee, —and another—a third kingdom, of bronze, which shall bear rule throughout all the earth.

And after you it will arise a kingdom another earthward more than you and a kingdom (third *Q(k)*) another of bronze the which it will rule over all earth the.

40 And, the fourth kingdom, shall be hard as iron, —in like manner as iron breaketh in pieces and crusheth all things, —even as iron which bringeth to ruins all these, shall it break in pieces and bring to ruins.

And a kingdom (fourth *Q(k)*) it will be strong like iron as to because that iron the [is] shattering and [is] crushing everything and like iron which [is] crushing all these it will shatter so it may crush.

41 And, whereas thou sawest the feet and the toes, part of them of potter’s clay, and part of them of iron, the kingdom, shall be, divided, and, of the hardness of the iron, shall there be in it, —forasmuch as thou sawest, the iron, combined with the miry clay;

And that you saw feet the and toes the (some of them *Q(K)*) clay of a potter (and some of them *Q(K)*) iron a kingdom divided it will be and some of firmness the of iron the it will be in it as to because that you saw iron the mixed with [the] clay of clay the.

42 and, the toes of the feet, part of them, iron, and, part, of clay, —some part of the kingdom, shall be strong, but, a part thereof, shall be brittle;

And [the] toes of feet the (some of them *Q(K)*) iron (and some of them *Q(K)*) clay from [the] part of kingdom the it will be strong and from it it will be breakable.

43 and, whereas thou sawest, the iron, combined with the miry clay, they shall be combined with the seed of men, but shall not cleave firmly one to another, —lo! as iron is not to be combined with clay.

(And that *Q(K)*) you saw iron the mixed with [the] clay of clay the mixing they will be with [the] offspring of humankind and not they will be clinging this with this here! like that iron not [is] mixing with clay.

44 And, in the days of those kings, shall the God of the heavens, set up, a kingdom which, to the ages, shall not be destroyed, and, the kingdom, to another people, shall not be left, —it shall break in pieces and make an end of all these kingdoms, but, itself, shall stand to the ages.

And in days their of kings the those he will set up [the] God of heavens the a kingdom which for ever not it will be destroyed and kingdom the to a people another not it will be left it will shatter so it may put an end to all these kingdoms the and it it will endure for ever.

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that, out of the rock, a stone tare itself away, but not with hands, and brake in pieces the clay, the iron, the bronze, the silver and the gold, the mighty God, hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. Exact then is the dream, and trusty its interpretation.

As to because that you saw that from mountain it was cut out a stone which not [was] by hands and it shattered iron the bronze the clay the silver the and gold the God great he has made known to king the what that it will be after this and [is] certain dream the and [is] trustworthy interpretation its.

46 Then, King Nebuchadnezzar, fell upon his face, and, unto Daniel, paid adoration; and, a present and sweet odours, gave he word to pour out unto him.

Then king the Nebuchadnezzar he fell on face his and to Daniel he paid homage and offering and soothing offerings he said to offer in sacrifice to him.

47 The king answered Daniel, and said—Of a truth, your God, is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a Revealer of secrets, —seeing thou wast able to reveal this secret.

[was] replying King the to Daniel and [was] saying from truth that God your he [is the] God of gods and [the] lord of kings and [one who] reveals secrets that you have been able to reveal secret the this.

48 Then, the king, exalted, Daniel, and, many large presents, gave he unto him, and set him to be ruler over all the province of Babylon, —and chief of the nobles, over all the wise men of Babylon.

Then king the Daniel he made great and gifts great many he gave to him and he made ruler him over all [the] province of Babylon and chief of prefects over all [the] wise men of Babylon.

49 And, Daniel, desired of the king, and he appointed—over the business of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —but, Daniel himself, was in the gate of the king.

And Daniel he asked from king the and he appointed over administration the of [the] province of Babylon Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego and Daniel [was] in [the] gate king the.
