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 >,

33 His legs <8243 shaq > of iron <6523 parzel >, his feet <7271

r@gal > part <4481 min > of iron <6523 parzel > and part <4481

min > of clay <2635 chacaph >.

34 Thou sawest <2370 chaza> > till <5704 <ad > that a stone

<69> was cut <1505 g@zar > out without hands <3028 yad >, which

smote <4223 m@cha> > the image <6755 tselem > upon his feet

<7271 r@gal > [that were] of iron <6523 parzel > and clay <2635

chacaph >, and brake <1855 d@qaq > them to pieces.

35 Then <0116 >edayin > was the iron <6523 parzel >, the clay

<2635 chacaph >, the brass <5174 n@chash >, the silver <3702

k@caph >, and the gold <1722 d@hab >, broken <1854 daqaq > to

pieces together <2298 chad >, and became <1934 hava> > like the

chaff <5784 <uwr > of the summer <7007 qayit > threshingfloors

<0147 >iddar >; and the wind <7308 ruwach > carried <5376 n@sa>

> them away, that no place <0870 >athar > was found <7912

sh@kach > for them: and the stone <69> that smote <4223 m@cha> >

the image <6755 tselem > became <1934 hava> > a great <7229 rab

> mountain <2906 tuwr >, and filled <4391 m@la> > the whole

<3606 kol > earth <0772 >ara< >.

36 This <1836 den > [is] the dream <2493 chelem >; and we will

tell <0560 >amar > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof

before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek >.

37 Thou, O king <4430 melek >, [art] a king <4430 melek > of

kings <4430 melek >: for the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065

shamayin > hath given <3052 y@hab > thee a kingdom <4437 malkuw

>, power <2632 checen >, and strength <8632 t@qoph >, and glory

<3367 y@qar >.

38 And wheresoever the children <1123 ben > of men <0606 >enash

> dwell <1753 duwr >, the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field

<1251 bar > and the fowls <5776 <owph > of the heaven <8065

shamayin > hath he given <3052 y@hab > into thine hand <3028 yad

>, and hath made thee ruler <7981 sh@let > over them all <3606

kol >. Thou [art] this <1931 huw> > head <7217 re>sh > of gold

<1722 d@hab >.

39 And after <0870 >athar > thee shall arise <6965 quwm >

another <0317 >ochoriy > kingdom <4437 malkuw > inferior <0772

>ara< > to thee, and another <0317 >ochoriy > third <8523

t@liythay > kingdom <4437 malkuw > of brass <5174 n@chash >,

which <1768 diy > shall bear <7981 sh@let > rule <7981 sh@let >

over all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< >.

40 And the fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall

be strong <8624 taqqiyph > as iron <6523 parzel >: forasmuch as

iron <6523 parzel > breaketh <1855 d@qaq > in pieces and

subdueth <2827 chashal > all <3606 kol > [things]: and as iron

<6523 parzel > that breaketh <7940 Sakar > all <3606 kol > these

<0459 >illeyn >, shall it break <1854 daqaq > in pieces and

bruise <7490 r@<a< >.

41 And whereas <1768 diy > thou sawest <2370 chaza> > the feet

<7271 r@gal > and toes <0677 >etsba< >, part <4481 min > of

potters <6353 pechar >' clay <2635 chacaph >, and part <4481 min

> of iron <6523 parzel >, the kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall be

divided <6386 p@lag >; but there shall be in it of the strength

<5326 nitsbah > of the iron <6523 parzel >, forasmuch as thou

sawest <2370 chaza> > the iron <6523 parzel > mixed <6151 <arab

> with miry <2917 tiyn > clay <2635 chacaph >.

42 And [as] the toes <0677 >etsba< > of the feet <7271 r@gal >

[were] part <4481 min > of iron <6523 parzel >, and part <4481

min > of clay <2635 chacaph >, [so] the kingdom <4437 malkuw >

shall be partly <7118 q@tsath > strong <8624 taqqiyph >, and

partly <7118 q@tsath > broken <8406 t@bar >.

43 And whereas <1768 diy > thou sawest <2370 chaza> > iron

<6523 parzel > mixed <6151 <arab > with miry <2917 tiyn > clay

<2635 chacaph >, they shall mingle <6151 <arab > themselves with

the seed <2234 z@ra< > of men <0606 >enash >: but they shall not

cleave <1693 d@baq > one <1836 den > to another <1836 den >,

even <1887 he> > as iron <6523 parzel > is not mixed <6151 <arab

> with clay <2635 chacaph >.

44 And in the days <3118 yowm > of these <0581 >innuwn > kings

<4430 melek > shall the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065

shamayin > set <6966 quwm > up a kingdom <4437 malkuw >, which

<1768 diy > shall never be destroyed <2255 chabal >: and the

kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall not be left <7662 sh@baq > to other

<0321 >ochoran > people <5972 <am >, [but] it shall break <1854

daqaq > in pieces and consume <5487 cuwph > all <3606 kol >

these <0459 >illeyn > kingdoms <4437 malkuw >, and it shall

stand <6966 quwm > for ever <5957 <alam >.

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest <2370 chaza> > that the stone <69>

was cut <1505 g@zar > out of the mountain <2906 tuwr > without

hands <3028 yad >, and that it brake <1855 d@qaq > in pieces the

iron <6523 parzel >, the brass <5174 n@chash >, the clay <2635

chacaph >, the silver <3702 k@caph >, and the gold <1722 d@hab >;

the great <7229 rab > God <0426 >elahh > hath made known <3046

y@da< > to the king <4430 melek > what <4101 mah > shall come

<1934 hava> > to pass hereafter: and the dream <2493 chelem >

[is] certain <3330 yatstsiyb >, and the interpretation <6591

p@shar > thereof sure <0546 >omnah >.

46. Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar

<5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > fell <5308 n@phal > upon his face <0600

>anaph >, and worshipped <5457 c@gid > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >,

and commanded <0560 >amar > that they should offer <5260 n@cak >

an oblation <8641 t@ruwmah > and sweet <5208 niychowach > odours

<5208 niychowach > unto him.

47 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > unto Daniel

<1841 Daniye>l >, and said <0560 >amar >, Of a truth <7187

q@showt > [it is], that your God <0426 >elahh > [is] a God <0426

>elahh > of gods <0426 >elahh >, and a Lord <4756 mare> > of

kings <4430 melek >, and a revealer <1541 g@lah > of secrets
