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 prudence to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon;

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

he answered Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so urgent 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”

Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show 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 would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should nor perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

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

Then was the secret revealed to 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 answered, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.

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

He changes the times and the seasons; he removes kings, and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding;

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

he reveals the deep and secret things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

עַמִּיקָתָ֖א (א) ' “deep [things]”וּמְסַתְּרָתָ֑א (א) ' “hidden [things]”בַחֲשׁוֹכָ֔א (א) ' “the”וּנְהוֹרָ֖א (א) ' “the”

I thank you, and praise you, you God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king's matter.

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

Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus to him: Don't destroy the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show to 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 to him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, who will make known to the king the interpretation.

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

The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it?

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

Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, show to the king;

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

but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these:

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

as for you, O king, your thoughts came [ergänzt: into your mind] on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what shall happen.

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 you may know the thoughts of your heart.

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

You, O king, saw, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and the aspect of it was awesome.

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

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

צַלְמָ֗א (א) ' “the”

You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in 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 struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

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 of it before the king.

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

You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has 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”
