H9010–א/–a

For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

מַלְכָּ֕א (א) ' “the”

So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.

וְדָתָ֣א (א) ' “the”וְחַכִּֽימַיָּ֖א (א) ' “the”

Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and discretion to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, who was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon;

טַבָּחַיָּ֖א (א) ' “the”מַלְכָּ֑א (א) ' “the”

he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain: 'Wherefore is the decree so peremptory from the king?' Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

שַׁלִּיטָ֣א (א) ' “the”מַלְכָּ֔א (א) ' “the”דָתָ֛א (א) ' “the”מַלְכָּ֑א (א) ' “the”מִלְּתָ֔א (א) ' “the”

Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, that he might declare unto the king the interpretation.

מַלְכָּ֑א (א) ' “the”וּפִשְׁרָ֖א (א) ' “the”לְמַלְכָּֽא׃ (א) ' “the”

Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions;

מִלְּתָ֥א (א) ' “the”

that they might ask mercy of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

שְׁמַיָּ֔א (א) ' “the”רָזָ֖ה (ה) ' “the”

Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

בְּחֶזְוָ֥א (א) ' “the”לֵילְיָ֖א (א) ' “the”רָזָ֣ה (ה) ' “the”שְׁמַיָּֽא׃ (א) ' “the”

Daniel spoke and said: Blessed be the name of God from everlasting even unto everlasting; for wisdom and might are His;

אֱלָהָא֙ (א֙) ' “the”עָלְמָ֖א (א) ' “antiquity”עָלְמָ֑א (א) ' “perpetuity”חָכְמְתָ֛א (א) ' “wisdom”וּגְבוּרְתָ֖א (א) ' “power”

And He changeth the times and the seasons; He removeth kings, and setteth up kings; He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding;

עִדָּנַיָּא֙ (א֙) ' “the”וְזִמְנַיָּ֔א (א) ' “the”חָכְמְתָא֙ (א֙) ' “wisdom”וּמַנְדְּעָ֖א (א) ' “understanding”

He revealeth the deep and secret things; He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him.

I thank Thee, and praise Thee, O Thou God of my fathers, who hath given me wisdom and might, and hast now made known unto me what we desired of Thee; for Thou hast made known unto us the king's matter.

חָכְמְתָ֛א (א) ' “wisdom”וּגְבוּרְתָ֖א (א) ' “power”מַלְכָּ֖א (א) ' “the”

Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus unto him: 'Destroy not the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will declare unto the king the interpretation.'

מַלְכָּ֔א (א) ' “the”מַלְכָּ֔א (א) ' “the”וּפִשְׁרָ֖א (א) ' “the”לְמַלְכָּ֥א (א) ' “the”

Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him: 'I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.'

מַלְכָּ֑א (א) ' “the”גָֽלוּתָא֙ (א֙) ' “the”פִשְׁרָ֖א (א) ' “the”לְמַלְכָּ֥א (א) ' “the”

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

מַלְכָּא֙ (א֙) ' “the”חֶלְמָ֥א (א) ' “the”

Daniel answered before the king, and said: 'The secret which the king hath asked can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor astrologers, declare unto the king;

מַלְכָּ֖א (א) ' “the”רָזָה֙ (ה֙) ' “the”מַלְכָּ֣א (א) ' “the”לְמַלְכָּֽא׃ (א) ' “the”

but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and He hath made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the end of days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:

בִּשְׁמַיָּא֙ (א֙) ' “the”לְמַלְכָּא֙ (א֙) ' “the”יוֹמַיָּ֑א (א) ' “the”

as for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter; and He that revealeth secrets hath made known to thee what shall come to pass.

מַלְכָּ֗א (א) ' “O”רָזַיָּ֛א (א) ' “secrets”

But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that thou mayest know the thoughts of thy heart.

חַיַּיָּ֔א (א) ' “the”רָזָ֥א (א) ' “the”פִשְׁרָא֙ (א֙) ' “the”לְמַלְכָּ֣א (א) ' “the”

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was surpassing, stood before thee; and the appearance thereof was terrible.

מַלְכָּ֗א (א) ' “O”צַלְמָ֨א (א) ' “the”

As for that image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

צַלְמָ֗א (א) ' “the”

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.

לְצַלְמָא֙ (א֙) ' “the”פַרְזְלָ֖א (א) ' “the”וְחַסְפָּ֑א (א) ' “the”

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them; and the stone that smote the image

פַּרְזְלָא֩ (א֩) ' “the”חַסְפָּ֨א (א) ' “the”נְחָשָׁ֜א (א) ' “the”כַּסְפָּ֣א (א) ' “the”וְדַהֲבָ֗א (א) ' “the”רוּחָ֔א (א) ' “the”וְאַבְנָ֣א׀ (א) ' “the”לְצַלְמָ֗א (א) ' “the”אַרְעָֽא׃ (א) ' “the”

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

חֶלְמָ֔א (א) ' “the”מַלְכָּֽא׃ (א) ' “the”

Thou, O king, king of kings, unto whom the God of heaven hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory;

מַלְכָּ֔א (א) ' “O”מַלְכַיָּ֑א (א) ' “the”שְׁמַיָּ֔א (א) ' “the”מַלְכוּתָ֥א (א) ' “the”חִסְנָ֛א (א) ' “the”וְתָקְפָּ֥א (א) ' “the”וִֽיקָרָ֖א (א) ' “the”
