Daniel 2
1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, he had dreams. His mind was troubled, and he could not sleep.
В лето второе царства Навуходоносорова, соние виде Навуходоносор, и ужасеся дух его, и сон его отступи от него:
2 Then the king summoned the magicians and those who claimed to speak with the dead. He also called the sorcerers and wise men. He wanted them to tell him about his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
и рече царь призвати обаятелей и волхвов, и чародеев и Халдеев, еже возвестити царю сон его. И приидоша и сташа пред царем.
3 The king said to them, “I have had a dream, and my mind is anxious to know what the dream means.”
И рече им царь: видех сон, и ужасеся дух мой, еже уразумети сон.
4 Then the wise men spoke to the king in Aramaic, “King, live forever! Tell the dream to us, your servants, and we will reveal the meaning.”
И глаголаше Халдее сирски цареви: царю, во веки живи: ты повеждь сон рабом твоим, и сказание его возвестим ти.
5 The king replied to the wise men, “This matter has been settled. If you do not reveal the dream to me and interpret it, your bodies will be torn apart and your houses made into rubbish heaps.
Отвеща же царь Халдеом и рече: слово отступило есть от мене: аще убо не возвестите ми сна и сказания его, в пагубу будете, и домове ваши разграбятся:
6 But if you will tell me the dream and its meaning, you will receive gifts from me, a reward, and great honor. So tell to me the dream and its meaning.”
аще же сон и сказание его возвестите мне, даяния и дары и честь многу приимете от мене: точию сон и сказание его возвестите мне.
7 They replied again and said, “Let the king tell us, his servants, the dream and we will tell you its meaning.”
И отвещаша второе и реша: царь да повесть сон рабом своим, и сказание его возвестим ему.
8 The king answered, “I know for certain that you want more time because you see how firm my decision is about this.
И отвеща царь и рече: поистинне вем аз, яко время вы (точию) искупуете, понеже видите, яко отступило есть слово от мене:
9 But if you do not tell me the dream, there is only one sentence for you. You have decided to prepare false and deceptive words that you agreed together to say to me until I change my mind. So then, tell me the dream, and then I will know you can interpret it for me.”
аще убо сна не возвестите мне, вем, яко слово ложно и растленно совещастеся рещи предо мною, дондеже время минет: сон мой поведите мне, и увем, яко и сказание его возвестите мне.
10 The wise men replied to the king, “There is not a man on earth able to meet the king's demand. There is no great and powerful king who has demanded such a thing from any magician, or from anyone who claims to speak with the dead, or from a wise man.
Отвещаша же паки Халдее пред царем и реша: несть человека на земли, иже слово царево возможет возвестити, яко всяк царь великий и князь не вопрошает ссиеваго словесе обаятеля, волхва и Халдеа:
11 What the king demands is difficult, and there is no one who can tell it to the king except the gods, and they do not live among humans.”
понеже слово, егоже вопрошает царь, тяжко, и несть другаго, иже возвестит е пред царем, но точию бози, ихже несть житие со всякою плотию.
12 This made the king angry and very furious, and he gave an order to destroy all those in Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
Тогда царь в ярости и во гневе мнозе рече погубити вся мудрыя Ваввилонския.
13 So the decree went out that all those who were known for their wisdom were to be put to death. Because of this decree, they searched for Daniel and his friends so they could be put to death.
И изыде повеление, и мудрии убивахуся: и взыскаша Даниила и другов его убити я.
14 Then Daniel replied with prudence and discretion to Arioch the commander of the king's bodyguard, who had come to kill all those in Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
Тогда Даниил отвеща совет и разум Ариоху архимагиру царску, иже изыде убити мудрых Вавилонских,
15 Daniel asked the king's commander, “Why is the king's decree so urgent?” So Arioch told Daniel what had happened.
и вопрошаше и глаголя: княже царев, о чесом изыде изречение безстудное от лица царева? Возвести же Ариох слово Даниилу.
16 Then Daniel went in and requested an appointment with the king so that he could present the interpretation to the king.
Даниил же вниде и моли царя, яко да время даст ему, и сказание его возвестит царю.
17 Then Daniel went to his house and explained to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, what had happened.
И вниде Даниил в дом свой и возвести слово Анании и Азарии и Мисаилу, другом своим:
18 He urged them to seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery so that he and they might not be killed with the rest of the men of Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
и щедрот прошаху у Бога небеснаго отайне сей, яко да не погибнут Даниил и друзие его со прочиими мудрыми Вавилонскими.
19 That night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven
Тогда Даниилу во сне нощию тайна открыся: и благослови Даниил Бога небеснаго
20 and said, “Praise the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and power belong to him.
и рече: буди имя Господа Бога благословено от века и до века, яко премудрость и смысл и крепость Его есть,
21 He changes the times and seasons; he removes kings and places kings on their thrones. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.
и Той пременяет времена и лета, поставляет цари и преставляет, даяй премудрость мудрым и разум ведущым смышление:
22 He reveals the deep and hidden things because he knows what is in the darkness, and the light lives with him.
Той открывает глубокая и сокровенная, сведый сущая во тме и свет с Ним есть:
23 God of my ancestors, I thank you and praise you for the wisdom and power you gave to me. Now you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the matter that concerns the king.”
Тебе, Боже отцев моих, исповедаюся и хвалю, яко премудрость и силу дал ми еси и возвестил ми еси, яже просихом у Тебе, и видение царево возвестил ми еси.
24 Then Daniel went in to see Arioch (the one the king appointed to kill everyone who was wise in Babylon). He went and said to him, “Do not kill the wise men in Babylon. Take me to the king and I will show the king the interpretation of his dream.”
И прииде Даниил ко Ариоху егоже пристави царь погубити мудрыя Вавилонския, и рече ему: мудрых Вавилонских не погубляй, но введи мя пред царя, и сказание сна возвешу ему.
25 Then Arioch quickly brought in Daniel before the king and said, “I have found among the exiles of Judah a man who will reveal the meaning of the king's dream.”
Тогда Ариох с потщанием введе Даниила пред царя и рече ему: обретох мужа от пленник жидовских, иже сказание царю возвестит.
26 The king said to Daniel (who was called Belteshazzar), “Are you able to tell me the dream that I saw and its meaning?”
И отвеща царь и рече Даниилу, емуже имя Валтасар: можеши ли ми возвестити сон, егоже видех, и сказание его?
27 Daniel answered the king and said, “The mystery that the king has asked about cannot be revealed by those who have wisdom, nor by those who claim to speak with the dead, nor by magicians, and not by astrologers.
И отвеща Даниил пред царем и рече: тайны, еяже царь вопрошает, несть мудрых, волхвов, ниже обаятелей газаринов (сила) возвестити царю:
28 Nevertheless, there is a God who lives in the heavens, who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to you, King Nebuchadnezzar, what will happen in the days to come. These were your dream and the visions of your mind as you lay on your bed.
но есть Бог на небеси открываяй тайны и возвести царю Навуходоносору, имже подобает быти в последния дни. Сон твой и видение главы твоея на ложи твоем сие есть, царю:
29 As for you, king, your thoughts on your bed were about things to come, and the one who reveals mysteries has made known to you what is about to happen.
помышления твоя на ложи твоем взыдоша, чесому подобает быти по сих, и Открываяй тайны яви тебе, имже подобает быти:
30 As for me, this mystery was not revealed to me because of any wisdom that I have more than any other living person. This mystery was revealed to me so that you, king, may understand the meaning, and so that you may know the thoughts deep within you.
и мне не премудростию сущею во мне паче всех живущих тайна сия открыся, но ради того, яко да возвещу сказание царю, да уразумееши размышления сердца твоего.
31 King, you looked up and you saw a large statue. This statue, which was very powerful and bright, stood before you. Its brightness was terrifying.
Ты, царю видел еси: и се, тело едино, велие тело оно, и обличие его высоко, стоящо пред лицем твоим, и образ его страшен:
32 The head of the statue was made of fine gold. Its breast and arms were of silver. Its middle and its thighs were made of bronze,
тело, егоже глава от злата чиста, руце и перси и мышцы его сребряны, чрево и стегна медяна,
33 and its legs were made of iron. Its feet were made partly of iron and partly of clay.
голени железны, нозе, часть убо некая железна и часть некая скудельна:
34 You looked up, and a stone was cut out, although not by human hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and it shattered them.
видел еси, дондеже отторжеся камень от горы без рук, и удари тело в нозе железны и скудельны, и истни их до конца:
35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold at the same time were broken into pieces and became like the chaff of the threshing floors in the summer. The wind carried them away and there was no trace of them left. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
тогда сотрошася вкупе скудель, железо, медь, сребро и злато, и бысть яко прах от гумна летня: и взят я премногий ветр, и место не обретеся им: камень же поразивый тело бысть гора велика и наполни всю землю.
36 This was your dream. Now we will tell the king the meaning.
Сей есть сон, а сказание его речем пред царем.
37 You, king, are king of the kings to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the honor.
Ты, царю, царь царей, емуже Бог небесный царство даде крепко и державно и честно:
38 He has given into your hand the place where the human beings live. He has given over the animals of the fields and the birds of the heavens into your hand, and he has made you rule over them all. You are the statue's head of gold.
во всяцем месте, идеже живут сынове человечи и зверие польстии, и птицы небесныя и рыбы морския дал есть в руку твою и поставил тя властелина всем: ты еси глава златая.
39 After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze will rule over all the earth.
И последи тебе востанет царство другое меншее тебе, еже есть сребро, царство же третие, еже есть медь, еже соодолеет всей земли,
40 There will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks other things into pieces and shatters everything. It will shatter all these things and crush them.
и царство четвертое, еже будет крепко аки железо: якоже железо стончевает и умягчает вся, такожде и то истончит и истнит вся.
41 Just as you saw, the feet and toes were partly made of baked clay and partly made of iron, so it will be a divided kingdom; some of the strength of iron will be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay.
А яко видел еси нозе и персты, часть убо некую железну, часть же некую глиняну, царство разделено будет, и от корене железна будет в нем, якоже видел еси железо смешено с глиною:
42 As the toes of the feet were partly made of iron and partly made of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
и персты ножнии, часть убо некая железна, часть же некая глиняна, часть некая царства будет крепка и от него будет сокрушена.
43 As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so the people will be a mixture; they will not stay together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
Яко видел еси железо смешено со глиною, смешены будут во племени человечи, и не будут прилепляющеся сей к сему, якоже железо не смешается со глиною.
44 In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be conquered by another people. It will break the other kingdoms into pieces and put an end to all of them, and it will remain forever.
И во днех царей тех возставит Бог небесный царство, еже во веки не разсыплется, и царство Его людем инем не останется, истнит и развеет вся царства, тое же станет во веки,
45 Just as you saw, a stone was cut out of the mountain, but not by human hands. It broke the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to you, king, what will happen after this. The dream is true and this interpretation is reliable.”
якоже видел еси, яко отсечеся от горы камень без рук и истни глину, железо, медь, сребро, злато. Бог великий возвести царю, имже подобает быти по сих: и истинен сон, и верно сказание его.
46 King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face before Daniel and honored him; he commanded that an offering be made and that incense be offered up to him.
Тогда царь Навуходоносор паде на лице и поклонися Даниилу, и рече дары и благовония возлияти ему.
47 The king said to Daniel, “Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and the one who reveals mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.”
И отвещав царь рече Даниилу: поистинне Бог ваш Той есть Бог богов и Господь господей и Царь царей, открываяй тайны, понеже возмогл еси открыти тайну сию.
48 Then the king made Daniel highly honored and gave him many wonderful gifts. He made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon. Daniel became chief governor over the wisest men of Babylon.
И возвеличи царь Даниила, и дары велики и многи даде ему, и постави его над всею страною Вавилонскою и князя воеводам, над всеми мудрыми Вавилонскими.
49 Daniel made a request of the king, and the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be administrators over the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained at the king's court.
И Даниил проси у царя и пристави над делы страны Вавилонския Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго. Даниил же бяше во дворе цареве.
