:1. In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of the reign <4438 malkuwth > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > came <0935 bow> > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > unto Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and besieged <6696 tsuwr > it.
:2 And the Lord <0136 >Adonay > gave <5414 nathan > Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into his hand <3027 yad >, with part <7117 q@tsath > of the vessels <3627 k@liy > of the house <1004 bayith > of God <0430 >elohiym >:which he carried <0935 bow> > into the land <0776 >erets > of Shinar <8152 Shin<ar > to the house <1004 bayith > of his god <0430 >elohiym >; and he brought <0935 bow> > the vessels <3627 k@liy > into the treasure <0214 >owtsar > house <1004 bayith > of his god <0430 >elohiym >.
:3 And the king <4428 melek > spake <0559 >amar > unto Ashpenaz <0828 >Ashp@naz > the master <7227 rab > of his eunuchs <5631 cariyc >, that he should bring <0935 bow> > [certain] of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and of the king's <4410 m@luwkah > seed <2233 zera< >, and of the princes <6579 partam >;
:4 Children <3206 yeled > in whom [was] no <0369 >ayin > blemish <3971 m>uwm >, but well <2896 towb > favoured <4758 mar>eh >, and skilful <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and cunning <3045 yada< > in knowledge <1847 da<ath >, and understanding <0995 biyn > science <4093 madda< >, and such as [had] ability <3581 koach > in them to stand <5975 <amad > in the king's <4428 melek > palace <1964 heykal >, and whom they might teach <3925 lamad > the learning <5612 cepher > and the tongue <3956 lashown > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday >.
:5 And the king <4428 melek > appointed <4487 manah > them a daily <3117 yowm > provision <1697 dabar > of the king's <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag >, and of the wine <3196 yayin > which he drank <4960 mishteh >:so nourishing <1431 gadal > them three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh >, that at the end <7117 q@tsath > thereof they might stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek >.
:6 Now among these <1992 hem > were of the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >, Mishael <4332 Miysha>el >, and Azariah <5838 <Azaryah >:
:7 Unto whom <1992 hem > the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > gave <7760 suwm > names <8034 shem >:for he gave <7760 suwm > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > [the name <8034 shem >] of Belteshazzar <1095 Belt@sha>tstsar >; and to Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >, of Shadrach <7714 Shadrak >; and to Mishael <4332 Miysha>el >, of Meshach <4335 Meyshak >; and to Azariah <5838 <Azaryah >, of Abednego <5664 <Abed N@gow >.
:8. But Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > purposed <7760 suwm > in his heart <3820 leb > that he would not defile <1351 ga>al > himself with the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king's <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag >, nor with the wine <3196 yayin > which he drank <4960 mishteh >:therefore he requested <1245 baqash > of the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > that he might not defile <1351 ga>al > himself.
:9 Now God <0430 >elohiym > had brought <5414 nathan > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > into favour <2617 checed > and tender love with the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc >.
:10 And the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > said <0559 >amar > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, I fear <3373 yare> > my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >, who <0834 >aher > hath appointed <4487 manah > your meat <3978 ma>akal > and your drink <4960 mishteh >:for why <4100 mah > should he see <7200 ra>ah > your faces <6440 paniym > worse <2196 za<aph > liking than <4480 min > the children <3206 yeled > which <0834 >aher > [are] of your sort <1524 giyl >? then shall ye make [me] endanger <2325 chuwb > my head <7218 ro>sh > to the king <4428 melek >.
:11 Then said <0559 >amar > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > to Melzar <4453 meltsar >, whom <0834 >aher > the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > had set <4487 manah > over <5921 <al > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >, Mishael <4332 Miysha>el >, and Azariah <5838 <Azaryah >,
:12 Prove <5254 nacah > thy servants <5650 <ebed >, I beseech <4994 na> > thee, ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm >; and let them give <5414 nathan > us pulse <2235 zeroa< > to eat <0398 >akal >, and water <4325 mayim > to drink <8354 shathah >.
:13 Then let our countenances <4758 mar>eh > be looked <7200 ra>ah > upon before <6440 paniym > thee, and the countenance <4758 mar>eh > of the children <3206 yeled > that eat <0398 >akal > of the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king's <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag >:and as thou seest <7200 ra>ah >, deal <6213 <asah > with thy servants <5650 <ebed >.
:14 So he consented <8085 shama< > to them in this <2088 zeh > matter <1697 dabar >, and proved <5254 nacah > them ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm >.
:15 And at the end <7117 q@tsath > of ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm > their countenances <4758 mar>eh > appeared <7200 ra>ah > fairer <2896 towb > and fatter <1277 bariy> > in flesh <1320 basar > than <4480 min > all <3605 kol > the children <3206 yeled > which did eat <0398 >akal > the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king's <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag >.
:16 Thus Melzar <4453 meltsar > took <5375 nasa> > away the portion <6598 pathbag > of their meat <6598 pathbag >, and the wine <3196 yayin > that they should drink <4960 mishteh >; and gave <5414 nathan > them pulse <2235 zeroa< >.
:17. As for these <0428 >el-leh > four <0702 >arba< > children <3206 yeled >, God <0430 >elohiym > gave <5414 nathan > them knowledge <4093 madda< > and skill <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > learning <5612 cepher > and wisdom <2451 chokmah >:and Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > had understanding <0995 biyn > in all <3605 kol > visions <2377 chazown > and dreams <2472 chalowm >.
:18 Now at the end <7117 q@tsath > of the days <3117 yowm > that the king <4428 melek > had said <0559 >amar > he should bring <0935 bow> > them in, then the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > brought <0935 bow> > them in before <6440 paniym > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar >.
:19 And the king <4428 melek > communed <1696 dabar > with them; and among them all <3605 kol > was found <4672 matsa> > none <3808 lo> > like Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >, Mishael <4332 Miysha>el >, and Azariah <5838 <Azaryah >:therefore stood <5975 <amad > they before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek >.
:20 And in all <3605 kol > matters <1697 dabar > of wisdom <2451 chokmah > [and] understanding <0998 biynah >, that the king <4428 melek > enquired <1245 baqash > of them, he found <4672 matsa> > them ten <6235 <eser > times better <3027 yad > than <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the magicians <2748 chartom > [and] astrologers <0825 >ashshaph > that [were] in all <3605 kol > his realm <4438 malkuwth >.
:21 And Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > continued <1961 hayah > [even] unto the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Cyrus <3566 Kowresh >.
:Daniel 2
:1. And in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of the reign <4438 malkuwth > of Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > dreamed <2492 chalam > dreams <2472 chalowm >, wherewith his spirit <7307 ruwach > was troubled <6470 pa<am >, and his sleep <8142 shehah > brake <1961 hayah > from him.
:2 Then the king <4428 melek > commanded <0559 >amar > to call <7121 qara> > the magicians <2748 chartom >, and the astrologers <0825 >ashshaph >, and the sorcerers <3784 kashaph >, and the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday >, for to shew <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek > his dreams <2472 chalowm >. So they came <0935 bow> > and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek >.
:3 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto them, I have dreamed <2492 chalam > a dream <2472 chalowm >, and my spirit <7307 ruwach > was troubled <6470 pa<am > to know <3045 yada< > the dream <2472 chalowm >.
:4 Then spake <1696 dabar > the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > to the king <4428 melek > in Syriack <0762 >Aramiyth >, O king <4430 melek >, live <2418 chaya> > for ever <5957 <alam >:tell <0560 >amar > thy servants <5649 <abad > the dream <2493 chelem >, and we will shew <2324 chava> > the interpretation <6591 p@shar >.
:5 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday >, The thing <4406 millah > is gone <0230 >azad > from me:if <2006 hen > ye will not make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem >, with the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof, ye shall be cut <5648 <abad > in pieces <1917 haddam >, and your houses <1005 bayith > shall be made <7761 suwm > a dunghill <5122 n@valuw >.
:6 But if <2006 hen > ye shew <2324 chava> > the dream <2493 chelem >, and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof, ye shall receive <6902 q@bal > of me gifts <4978 matt@na> > and rewards <5023 n@bizbah > and great <7690 saggiy> > honour <3367 y@qar >:therefore <2006 hen > shew <2324 chava> > me the dream <2493 chelem >, and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof.
:7 They answered <6032 <anah > again <8579 tinyanuwth > and said <0560 >amar >, Let the king <4430 melek > tell <0560 >amar > his servants <5649 <abad > the dream <2493 chelem >, and we will shew <2324 chava> > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > of it.
:8 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar >, I know <3046 y@da< > of certainty <3330 yatstsiyb > that ye would gain <2084 z@ban > the time <5732 <iddan >, because ye see <2370 chaza> > the thing <4406 millah > is gone <0230 >azad > from me.
:9 But if <2006 hen > ye will not make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem >, [there is but] one <2298 chad > decree <1882 dath > for you:for ye have prepared <2164 z@man > lying <3538 k@dab > and corrupt <7844 sh@chath > words <4406 millah > to speak <0560 >amar > before <6925 qodam > me, till <5704 <ad > the time <5732 <iddan > be changed <8133 sh@na> >:therefore <2006 hen > tell <0560 >amar > me the dream <2493 chelem >, and I shall know <3046 y@da< > that ye can shew <2324 chava> > me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof.
:10 The Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > answered <6032 <anah > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek >, and said <0560 >amar >, There is not a man <0606 >enash > upon the earth <3007 yabbesheth > that can <3202 y@kel > shew <2324 chava> > the king's <4430 melek > matter <4406 millah >:therefore [there is] no king <4430 melek >, lord <7229 rab >, nor ruler <7990 shalliyt >, [that] asked <7593 sh@>el > such <1836 den > things at any <3606 kol > magician <2749 chartom >, or astrologer <0826 >ashshaph >, or Chaldean <3777 Kesed >.
:11 And [it is] a rare <3358 yaqqiyr > thing <4406 millah > that the king<4430 melek > requireth <7593 sh@>el >, and there is none <3809 la> > other <0321 >ochoran > that can shew <2324 chava> > it before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek >, except <3861 lawhen > the gods <0426 >elahh >, whose <1768 diy > dwelling <4070 m@dowr > is not with flesh <1321 b@sar >.
:12 For this <1836 den > cause the king <4430 melek > was angry <1149 b@nac > and very <7690 saggiy> > furious <7108 q@tsaph >, and commanded <0560 >amar > to destroy <7> all <3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym > [men] of Babylon <0895 Babel >.
:13 And the decree <1882 dath > went <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > that the wise <2445 chakkiym > [men] should be slain <6992 q@tal >; and they sought <1158 ba<ah > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > and his fellows <2269 chabar > to be slain <6992 q@tal >.
:14. Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <8421 tuwb > with counsel <5843 <eta> > and wisdom <2942 t@<em > to Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > the captain <7229 rab > of the king's <4430 melek > guard <2877 tabbach >, which <1768 diy > was gone <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > to slay <6992 q@tal > the wise <2445 chakkiym > [men] of Babylon <0895 Babel >:
:15 He answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > the king's <4430 melek > captain <7990 shalliyt >, Why [is] the decree <1882 dath > [so] hasty <2685 chatsaph > from the king <4430 melek >? Then <0116 >edayin > Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > made the thing <4406 millah > known <3046 y@da< > to Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >.
:16 Then Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <5954 <alal > in, and desired <1156 b@<a> > of the king <4430 melek > that he would give <5415 n@than > him time <2166 z@man >, and that he would shew <2324 chava> > the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar >.
:17 Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <0236 >azal > to his house <1005 bayith >, and made the thing <4406 millah > known <3046 y@da< > to Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >, Mishael <4332 Miysha>el >, and Azariah <5839 <Azaryah >, his companions <2269 chabar >:
:18 That they would desire <1156 b@<a> > mercies <7359 r@chem > of the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065 shamayin > concerning <5922 <al > this <1836 den > secret <7328 raz >; that Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > and his fellows <2269 chabar > should not perish <7> with the rest <7606 sh@>ar > of the wise <2445 chakkiym > [men] of Babylon <0895 Babel >.
:19 Then <0116 >edayin > was the secret <7328 raz > revealed <1541 g@lah > unto Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > in a night <3916 leyl@ya> > vision <2376 chezev >. Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > blessed <1289 b@rak > the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065 shamayin >.
:20 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar >, Blessed <1289 b@rak > be the name <8036 shum > of God <0426 >elahh > for ever <5957 <alam > and ever <5957 <alam >:for wisdom <2452 chokmah > and might <1370 g@buwrah > are his:
:21 And he changeth <8133 sh@na> > the times <5732 <iddan > and the seasons <2166 z@man >:he removeth <5709 <ada> > kings <4430 melek >, and setteth <6966 quwm > up kings <4430 melek >:he giveth <3052 y@hab > wisdom <2452 chokmah > unto the wise <2445 chakkiym >, and knowledge <0998 biynah > to them that know <3046 y@da< > understanding <0999 biynah >:
:22 He revealeth <1541 g@lah > the deep <5994 <amiyq > and secret <5642 c@thar > things:he knoweth <3046 y@da< > what <4101 mah > [is] in the darkness <2816 chashowk >, and the light <5094 n@hiyr > dwelleth <8271 sh@re> > with him.
:23 I thank <3029 y@da> > thee, and praise <7624 sh@bach > thee, O thou God <0426 >elahh > of my fathers <2>, who <1768 diy > hast given <3052 y@hab > me wisdom <2452 chokmah > and might <1370 g@buwrah >, and hast made known <3046 y@da< > unto me now <3705 k@<an > what <1768 diy > we desired <1156 b@<a> > of thee:for thou hast [now <3705 k@<an >] made known <3046 y@da< > unto us the king's <4430 melek > matter <4406 millah >.
:24. Therefore Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <5954 <alal > in unto Arioch <0746 >Aryowk >, whom <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > had ordained <4483 m@na> > to destroy <7> the wise <2445 chakkiym > [men] of Babylon <0895 Babel >:he went <0236 >azal > and said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > unto him; Destroy <7> not the wise <2445 chakkiym > [men] of Babylon <0895 Babel >:bring <5924 <ella> > me in before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek >, and I will shew <2324 chava> > unto the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar >.
:25 Then <0116 >edayin > Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > brought <5954 <alal > in Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > in haste <0927 b@hal >, and said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > unto him, I have found <4672 matsa> > a man <1400 g@bar > of the captives of Judah <3061 Y@huwd >, that will make known <3046 y@da< > unto the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar >.
:26 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >, whose <1768 diy > name <8036 shum > [was] Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >, Art <0383 >iythay > thou able <3546 k@hal > to make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem > which <1768 diy > I have seen <2370 chaza> >, and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof?
:27 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <6032 <anah > in the presence <6925 qodam > of the king <4430 melek >, and said <0560 >amar >, The secret <7328 raz > which <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > hath demanded <7593 sh@>el > cannot the wise <2445 chakkiym > [men], the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph >, the magicians <2749 chartom >, the soothsayers <1505 g@zar >, shew <2324 chava> > unto the king <4430 melek >;
:28 But there is a God <0426 >elahh > in heaven <8065 shamayin > that revealeth <1541 g@lah > secrets <7328 raz >, and maketh known <3046 y@da< > to the king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > what <4101 mah > shall be in the latter <0320 >achariyth > days <3118 yowm >. Thy dream <2493 chelem >, and the visions <2376 chezev > of thy head <7217 re>sh > upon thy bed <4903 mishkab >, are these <1836 den >;
:29 As for thee, O king <4430 melek >, thy thoughts <7476 ra<yown > came <5559 c@liq > [into thy mind] upon thy bed <4903 mishkab >, what <4101 mah > should come <1934 hava> > to pass hereafter:and he that revealeth <1541 g@lah > secrets <7328 raz > maketh known <3046 y@da< > to thee what <4101 mah > shall come <1934 hava> > to pass.
:30 But as for me, this <1836 den > secret <7328 raz > is not revealed <1541 g@lah > to me for [any] wisdom <2452 chokmah > that I have <0383 >iythay > more <4481 min > than <4481 min > any <3606 kol > living <2417 chay >, but for [their] sakes <1701 dibrah > that shall make known <3046 y@da< > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > to the king <4430 melek >, and that thou mightest know <3046 y@da< > the thoughts <7476 ra<yown > of thy heart <3825 l@bab >.
:31. Thou, O king <4430 melek >, sawest <2370 chaza> >, and behold <0431 >aluw > a great <7690 saggiy> > image <6755 tselem >. This <1797 dikken > great <7229 rab > image <6755 tselem >, whose brightness <2122 ziyv > [was] excellent <3493 yattiyr >, stood <6966 quwm > before <6903 q@bel > thee; and the form <7299 rev > thereof [was] terrible <1763 d@chal >.
:32 This <1931 huw> > image's <6755 tselem > head <7217 re>sh > [was] of fine <2869 tab > gold <1722 d@hab >, his breast <2306 chadiy > and his arms <1672 da>ag > of silver <3702 k@caph >, his belly <4577 m@<ah > and his thighs <3410 yarka> > of brass <5174 n@chash >,

:19.

:28. [Then] Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > spake <6032 <anah >, and said <0560 >amar >, Blessed <1289 b@rak > [be] the God <0426 >elahh > of Shadrach <7715 Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >, and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> >, who <1768 diy > hath sent <7972 sh@lach > his angel <4398 mal>ak >, and delivered <7804 sh@zab > his servants <5649 <abad > that trusted <7365 r@chats > in him, and have changed <8133 sh@na> > the king's <4430 melek > word <4406 millah >, and yielded <3052 y@hab > their bodies <1655 geshem >, that they might not serve <6399 p@lach > nor <3809 la> > worship <5457 c@gid > any <3606 kol > god <0426 >elahh >, except <3861 lawhen > their own God <0426 >elahh >.

:1. Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek >, unto all <3606 kol > people <5972 <am >, nations <0524 >ummah >, and languages <3961 lishshan >, that dwell <1753 duwr > in all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< >; Peace <8001 sh@lam > be multiplied <7680 s@ga> > unto you.
:2 I thought it good <8232 sh@phar > to shew <2324 chava> > the signs <0852 >ath > and wonders <8540 t@mahh > that the high <5943 <illay > God <0426 >elahh > hath wrought <5648 <abad > toward <5974 <im > me.
:3 How <4101 mah > great <7260 rabrab > [are] his signs <0852 >ath >! and how <4101 mah > mighty <8624 taqqiyph > [are] his wonders <8540 t@mahh >! his kingdom <4437 malkuw > [is] an everlasting <5957 <alam > kingdom <4437 malkuw >, and his dominion <7985 sholtan > [is] from generation <1859 dar > to generation <1859 dar >.
:4. I Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > was at rest <7954 sh@lah > in mine house <1005 bayith >, and flourishing <7487 ra<anan > in my palace <1965 heykal >:
:5 I saw <2370 chaza> > a dream <2493 chelem > which made me afraid <1763 d@chal >, and the thoughts <2031 harhor > upon my bed <4903 mishkab > and the visions <2376 chezev > of my head <7217 re>sh > troubled <0927 b@hal > me.
:6 Therefore made <7761 suwm > I a decree <2942 t@<em > to bring <5924 <ella> > in all <3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym > [men] of Babylon <0895 Babel > before <6925 qodam > me, that they might make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > of the dream <2493 chelem >.
:7 Then <0116 >edayin > came <5954 <alal > in the magicians <2749 chartom >, the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph >, the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday >, and the soothsayers <1505 g@zar >:and I told <0560 >amar > the dream <2493 chelem > before <6925 qodam > them; but they did not make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof.
:8 But at <5706 <ad > the last <0318 >ochoreyn > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > came <5954 <alal > in before me, whose <1768 diy > name <8036 shum > [was] Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >, according to the name <8036 shum > of my god <0426 >elahh >, and in whom <1768 diy > [is] the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh >:and before <6925 qodam > him I told <0560 >amar > the dream <2493 chelem >, [saying],
:9 O Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >, master <0729 >araz > of the magicians <2749 chartom >, because <1768 diy > I know <3046 y@da< > that the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh > [is] in thee, and no secret <7328 raz > troubleth <0598 >anac > thee, tell <0560 >amar > me the visions <2376 chezev > of my dream <2493 chelem > that I have seen <2370 chaza> >, and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof.
:10 Thus [were] the visions <2376 chezev > of mine head <7217 re>sh > in my bed <4903 mishkab >; I saw <2370 chaza> >, and behold <0431 >aluw > a tree <0363 >iylan > in the midst <1459 gav > of the earth <0772 >ara< >, and the height <7314 ruwm > thereof [was] great <7690 saggiy> >.
:11 The tree <0363 >iylan > grew <7236 r@bah >, and was strong <8631 t@qeph >, and the height <7314 ruwm > thereof reached <4291 m@ta> > unto heaven <8065 shamayin >, and the sight <2379 chazowth > thereof to the end <5491 cowph > of all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< >:
:12 The leaves <6074 <ophiy > thereof [were] fair <8509 takriyk >, and the fruit <4> thereof much <7690 saggiy> >, and in it [was] meat <4203 mazown > for all <3606 kol >:the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar > had shadow <2927 t@lal > under <8460 t@chowth > it, and the fowls <6853 ts@phar > of the heaven <8065 shamayin > dwelt <1753 duwr > in the boughs <6056 <anaph > thereof, and all <3606 kol > flesh <1321 b@sar > was fed <2110 zuwn > of it.
:13 I saw <2370 chaza> > in the visions <2376 chezev > of my head <7217 re>sh > upon my bed <4903 mishkab >, and, behold <0431 >aluw >, a watcher <5894 <iyr > and an holy <6922 qaddiysh > one came <5182 n@chath > down <5182 n@chath > from heaven <8065 shamayin >;
:14 He cried <7123 q@ra> > aloud <2429 chayil >, and said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken >, Hew <1414 g@dad > down the tree <0363 >iylan >, and cut <7113 q@tsats > off his branches <6056 <anaph >, shake <5426 n@ther > off <0575 >an > his leaves <6074 <ophiy >, and scatter <0921 b@dar > his fruit <4>:let the beasts <2423 cheyva> > get <5111 nuwd > away <5111 nuwd > from under <8478 tachath > it, and the fowls <6853 ts@phar > from his branches <6056 <anaph >:
:15 Nevertheless <1297 b@ram > leave <7662 sh@baq > the stump <6136 <iqqar >of his roots <8330 shoresh > in the earth <0772 >ara< >, even with a band <0613 >ecuwr > of iron <6523 parzel > and brass <5174 n@chash >, in the tender grass <1883 dethe> > of the field <1251 bar >; and let it be wet <6647 ts@ba< > with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin >, and [let] his portion <2508 chalaq > [be] with the beasts <2423 cheyva> > in the grass <6211 <ash > of the earth <0772 >ara< >:
:16 Let his heart <3825 l@bab > be changed <8133 sh@na> > from man's <0606 >enash >, and let a beast's <2423 cheyva> > heart <3825 l@bab > be given <3052 y@hab > unto him; and let seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732 <iddan > pass <2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > him.
:17 This matter <6600 pithgam > [is] by the decree <1510 g@zerah > of the watchers <5894 <iyr >, and the demand <7595 sh@>ela> > by the word <3983 me>mar > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > ones:to the intent <1701 dibrah > that the living <2417 chay > may know <3046 y@da< > that the most <5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay > ruleth <7980 shalat > in the kingdom <4437 malkuw > of men <0606 >enash >, and giveth <5415 n@than > it to whomsoever <4479 man > he will <6634 ts@ba> >, and setteth <6966 quwm > up over <5922 <al > it the basest <8215 sh@phal > of men <0606 >enash >.
:18 This <1836 den > dream <2493 chelem > I king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > have seen <2370 chaza> >.
