Daniel 4

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> >.

Now thou, O Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >, declare <0560

>amar > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof, forasmuch as

all <3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym > [men] of my kingdom

<4437 malkuw > are not able <3202 y@kel > to make known <3046

y@da< > unto me the interpretation <6591 p@shar >: but thou

[art] able <3546 k@hal >; for the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the

holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh > [is] in thee.

19. Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >, whose <1768

diy > name <8036 shum > [was] Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar

>, was astonied <8075 sh@mam > for one <2298 chad > hour <8160

sha<ah >, and his thoughts <7476 ra<yown > troubled <0927 b@hal

> him. The king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah >, and said

<0560 >amar >, Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >, let not the

dream <2493 chelem >, or the interpretation <6591 p@shar >

thereof, trouble <0927 b@hal > thee. Belteshazzar <1096

Belt@sha>tstsar > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar >,

My lord <4756 mare> >, the dream <2493 chelem > [be] to them

that hate <8131 s@ne> > thee, and the interpretation <6591

p@shar > thereof to thine enemies <6146 <ar >.

20 The tree <0363 >iylan > that thou sawest <2370 chaza> >,

which <1768 diy > grew <7236 r@bah >, and was strong <8631

t@qeph >, whose height <7314 ruwm > reached <4291 m@ta> > unto

the heaven <8065 shamayin >, and the sight <2379 chazowth >

thereof to all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< >;

21 Whose leaves <6074 <ophiy > [were] fair <8509 takriyk >, and

the fruit <4> thereof much <7690 saggiy> >, and in it [was] meat

<4203 mazown > for all <3606 kol >; under <8460 t@chowth > which

the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar > dwelt <1753

duwr >, and upon whose branches <6056 <anaph > the fowls <6853

ts@phar > of the heaven <8065 shamayin > had their habitation

<7932 sh@kan >:

22 It [is] thou, O king <4430 melek >, that art grown <7236

r@bah > and become <8631 t@qeph > strong <8631 t@qeph >: for thy

greatness <7238 r@buw > is grown <7236 r@bah >, and reacheth

<4291 m@ta> > unto heaven <8065 shamayin >, and thy dominion

<7985 sholtan > to the end <5491 cowph > of the earth <0772

>ara< >.

23 And whereas <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > saw <2370

chaza> > a watcher <5894 <iyr > and an holy <6922 qaddiysh > one

coming <5182 n@chath > down <5182 n@chath > from heaven <8065

shamayin >, and saying <0560 >amar >, Hew <1414 g@dad > the tree

<0363 >iylan > down, and destroy <2255 chabal > it; yet <1297

b@ram > leave <7662 sh@baq > the stump <6136 <iqqar > of the

roots <8330 shoresh > thereof 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> > of the field <1251

bar >, till <5704 <ad > seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732 <iddan

> pass <2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > him;

24 This <1836 den > [is] the interpretation <6591 p@shar >, O

king <4430 melek >, and this <1931 huw> > [is] the decree <1510

g@zerah > of the most <5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay >, which

<1768 diy > is come <4291 m@ta> > upon my lord <4756 mare> > the

king <4430 melek >:

25 That they shall drive <2957 t@rad > thee from men <0606

>enash >, and thy dwelling <4070 m@dowr > shall be with the

beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar >, and they shall

make thee to eat <2939 t@<am > grass <6211 <ash > as oxen <8450

towr >, and they shall wet <6647 ts@ba< > thee with the dew

<2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin >, and seven <7655 shib<ah

<5943 <illay > High 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> >.

26 And whereas <1768 diy > they commanded <0560 >amar > to

leave <7662 sh@baq > the stump <6136 <iqqar > of the tree <0363

>iylan > roots <8330 shoresh >; thy kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall

be sure <7011 qayam > unto thee, after <1767 day > that thou

shalt have known <3046 y@da< > that the heavens <8065 shamayin >

do rule <7990 shalliyt >.

27 Wherefore <3861 lawhen >, O king <4430 melek >, let my

counsel <4431 m@lak > be acceptable <8232 sh@phar > unto thee,

and break <6562 p@raq > off thy sins <2408 chatiy > by

righteousness <6665 tsidqah >, and thine iniquities <5758 <ivya>

> by shewing mercy <2604 chanan > to the poor <6033 <anah >; if

<2006 hen > it may be a lengthening <0754 >arka> > of thy

tranquillity <7963 sh@levah >.

28. All <3606 kol > this came <4291 m@ta> > upon the king <4430

melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >.

29 At the end <7118 q@tsath > of twelve months <3393 y@rach >

he walked <1981 halak > in the palace <1965 heykal > of the

kingdom <4437 malkuw > of Babylon <0895 Babel >.

30 The king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah >, and said <0560

>amar >, Is not this <1668 da> > great <7227 rab > Babylon <0895

Babel >, that I have built <1124 b@na> > for the house <1005

bayith > of the kingdom <4437 malkuw > by the might <8632 t@qoph

> of my power <2632 checen >, and for the honour <3367 y@qar >

of my majesty <1923 hadar >?

31 While <5751 <owd > the word <4406 millah > [was] in the

king's <4430 melek > mouth <6433 pum >, there fell <5308 n@phal

> a voice <7032 qal > from heaven <8065 shamayin >, [saying], O

king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >, to

thee it is spoken <0560 >amar >; The kingdom <4437 malkuw > is

departed <5709 <ada> > from thee.

32 And they shall drive <2957 t@rad > thee from men <0606

>enash >, and thy dwelling <4070 m@dowr > [shall be] with the

beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar >: they shall make

thee to eat <2939 t@<am > grass <6211 <ash > as oxen <8450 towr

>, and seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732 <iddan > shall pass

<2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > thee, until <5704 <ad > thou

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> >.

33 The same hour <8160 sha<ah > was the thing <4406 millah >

fulfilled <5487 cuwph > upon Nebuchadnezzar <5020

N@buwkadnetstsar >: and he was driven <2957 t@rad > from men

<0606 >enash >, and did eat <0399 >akal > grass <6211 <ash > as

oxen <8450 towr >, and his body <1655 geshem > was wet <6647

ts@ba< > with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin >,

till <5704 <ad > his hairs <8177 s@<ar > were grown <7236 r@bah

> like eagles <5403 n@shar >' [feathers], and his nails <2953

t@phar > like birds <6853 ts@phar >' [claws].

34. And at the end <7118 q@tsath > of the days <3118 yowm > I

Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > lifted <5191 n@tal > up

mine eyes <5870 <ayin > unto heaven <8065 shamayin >, and mine

understanding <4486 manda< > returned <7725 shuwb > unto me, and

I blessed <1289 b@rak > the most <5943 <illay > High <5943

<illay >, and I praised <7624 sh@bach > and honoured <1922 hadar

> him that liveth <2416 chay > for ever <5957 <alam >, whose

<1768 diy > dominion <7985 sholtan > [is] an everlasting <5957

<alam > dominion <7985 sholtan >, and his kingdom <4437 malkuw >

[is] from generation <1859 dar > to generation <1859 dar >:

35 And all <3606 kol > the inhabitants <1753 duwr > of the

earth <0772 >ara< > [are] reputed <2804 chashab > as nothing

<3809 la> >: and he doeth <5648 <abad > according to his will

<6634 ts@ba> > in the army <2429 chayil > of heaven <8065

shamayin >, and [among] the inhabitants <1753 duwr > of the

earth <0772 >ara< >: and none <3809 la> > can stay <4223 m@cha>

> his hand <3028 yad >, or say <0560 >amar > unto him, What

<4101 mah > doest <5648 <abad > thou?

36 At the same time <2166 z@man > my reason <4486 manda< >

returned <7725 shuwb > unto me; and for the glory <3367 y@qar >

of my kingdom <4437 malkuw >, mine honour <1923 hadar > and

brightness <2122 ziyv > returned <7725 shuwb > unto me; and my

counsellors <1907 haddabar > and my lords <7261 rabr@ban >

sought <1158 ba<ah > unto me; and I was established <8627 t@qan

> in my kingdom <4437 malkuw >, and excellent <3493 yattiyr >

majesty <7238 r@buw > was added <3255 y@caph > unto me.

37 Now <3705 k@<an > I Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >

praise <7624 sh@bach > and extol <7313 ruwm > and honour <1922

hadar > the King <4430 melek > of heaven <8065 shamayin >, all

<3606 kol > whose works <4567 ma<bad > [are] truth <7187 q@showt

<1768 diy > that walk <1980 halak > in pride <1466 gevah > he is

able <3202 y@kel > to abase <8214 sh@phal >.
