| Vers | English: King James Version | Greek OT: LXX [A] Unaccented |
| 1 | Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. | |
| 2 | I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me. | |
| 3 | How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation. | |
| 4 | I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace: | ετους οκτωκαιδεκατου της βασιλειας ναβουχοδονοσορ ειπεν ειρηνευων ημην εν τω οικω μου και ευθηνων επι του θρονου μου |
| 5 | I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. | ενυπνιον ειδον και ευλαβηθην και φοβος μοι επεπεσεν |
| 6 | Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream. | |
| 7 | Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof. | |
| 8 | But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying, | |
| 9 | O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. | |
| 10 | Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. | εκαθευδον και ιδου δενδρον υψηλον φυομενον επι της γης η ορασις αυτου μεγαλη και ουκ ην αλλο ομοιον αυτω |
| 11 | The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth: | και η ορασις αυτου μεγαλη η κορυφη αυτου ηγγιζεν εως του ουρανου και το κυτος αυτου εως των νεφελων πληρουν τα υποκατω του ουρανου ο ηλιος και η σεληνη εν αυτω ωκουν και εφωτιζον πασαν την γην |
| 12 | The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. | οι κλαδοι αυτου τω μηκει ως σταδιων τριακοντα και υποκατω αυτου εσκιαζον παντα τα θηρια της γης και εν αυτω τα πετεινα του ουρανου ενοσσευον ο καρπος αυτου πολυς και αγαθος και εχορηγει πασι τοις ζωοις |
| 13 | I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven; | εθεωρουν εν τω υπνω μου και ιδου αγγελος απεσταλη εν ισχυι εκ του ουρανου |
| 14 | He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches: | και εφωνησε και ειπεν αυτω εκκοψατε αυτο και καταφθειρατε αυτο προστετακται γαρ απο του υψιστου εκριζωσαι και αχρειωσαι αυτο |
| 15 | Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth: | και ουτως ειπε ριζαν μιαν αφετε αυτου εν τη γη οπως μετα των θηριων της γης εν τοις ορεσι χορτον ως βους νεμηται |
| 16 | Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him. | και απο της δροσου του ουρανου το σωμα αυτου αλλοιωθη και επτα ετη βοσκηθη συν αυτοις |
| 17 | This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it | εως αν γνω τον κυριον του ουρανου εξουσιαν εχειν παντων των εν τω ουρανω και των επι της γης και οσα αν θελη ποιει εν αυτοις |
| 18 | This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit | και αναστας το πρωι εκ της κοιτης μου εκαλεσα τον δανιηλ τον αρχοντα των σοφιστων και τον ηγουμενον των κρινοντων τα ενυπνια και διηγησαμην αυτω το ενυπνιον και υπεδειξε μοι πασαν την συγκρισιν αυτου |
| 19 | Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My | μεγαλως δε εθαυμασεν ο δανιηλ και υπονοια κατεσπευδεν αυτον και φοβηθεις τρομου λαβοντος αυτον και αλλοιωθεισης της ορασεως αυτου κινησας την κεφαλην ωραν μιαν αποθαυμασας απεκριθη μοι φωνη πραεια βασιλευ το ενυπνιον τουτο τοις μισουσι σε |
| 20 | The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth; | το δενδρον το εν τη γη πεφυτευμενον ου η ορασις μεγαλη συ ει βασιλευ |
| 21 | Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation: | και παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου τα νοσσευοντα εν αυτω η ισχυς της γης και των εθνων και των γλωσσων πασων εως των περατων της γης και πασαι αι χωραι σοι δουλευουσι |
| 22 | It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. | το δε ανυψωθηναι το δενδρον εκεινο και εγγισαι τω ουρανω και το κυτος αυτου αψασθαι των νεφελων συ βασιλευ υψωθης υπερ παντας τους ανθρωπους τους οντας επι προσωπου πασης της γης υψωθη σου η καρδια υπερηφανια και ισχυι τα προς τον αγιον κ |
| 23 | And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of t | και η ορασις ην ειδες οτι αγγελος εν ισχυι απεσταλη παρα του κυριου και οτι ειπεν εξαραι το δενδρον και εκκοψαι η κρισις του θεου του μεγαλου ηξει επι σε |
| 24 | This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: | και ο υψιστος και οι αγγελοι αυτου επι σε κατατρεχουσιν |
| 25 | That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou kn | εις φυλακην απαξουσι σε και εις τοπον ερημον αποστελουσι σε |
| 26 | And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. | και η ριζα του δενδρου η αφεθεισα επει ουκ εξερριζωθη ο τοπος του θρονου σου σοι συντηρηθησεται εις καιρον και ωραν ιδου επι σε ετοιμαζονται και μαστιγωσουσι σε και επαξουσι τα κεκριμενα επι σε |
| 27 | Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. | κυριος ζη εν ουρανω και η εξουσια αυτου επι παση τη γη αυτου δεηθητι περι των αμαρτιων σου και πασας τας αδικιας σου εν ελεημοσυναις λυτρωσαι ινα επιεικεια δοθη σοι και πολυημερος γενη επι του θρονου της βασιλειας σου και μη καταφθειρη σε |
| 28 | All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. | και επι συντελεια των λογων ναβουχοδονοσορ ως ηκουσε την κρισιν του οραματος τους λογους εν τη καρδια συνετηρησε |
| 29 | At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. | και μετα μηνας δωδεκα ο βασιλευς επι των τειχων της πολεως μετα πασης της δοξης αυτου περιεπατει και επι των πυργων αυτης διεπορευετο |
| 30 | The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? | και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτη εστι βαβυλων η μεγαλη ην εγω ωκοδομησα και οικος βασιλειας μου εν ισχυι κρατους μου κληθησεται εις τιμην της δοξης μου |
| 31 | While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. | και επι συντελειας του λογου αυτου φωνην εκ του ουρανου ηκουσε σοι λεγεται ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευ η βασιλεια βαβυλωνος αφηρηται σου και ετερω διδοται εξουθενημενω ανθρωπω εν τω οικω σου ιδου εγω καθιστημι αυτον επι της βασιλειας σου και τ |
| 32 | And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, | και οι αγγελοι διωξονται σε επι ετη επτα και ου μη οφθης ουδ' ου μη λαλησης μετα παντος ανθρωπου χορτον ως βουν σε ψωμισουσι και απο της χλοης της γης εσται η νομη σου ιδου αντι της δοξης σου δησουσι σε και τον οικον της τρυφης σου και τη |
| 33 | The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claw | εως δε πρωι παντα τελεσθησεται επι σε ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευ βαβυλωνος και ουχ υστερησει απο παντων τουτων ουθεν |
| 34 | And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting domin | και επι συντελεια των επτα ετων ο χρονος μου της απολυτρωσεως ηλθε και αι αμαρτιαι μου και αι αγνοιαι μου επληρωθησαν εναντιον του θεου του ουρανου και εδεηθην περι των αγνοιων μου του θεου των θεων του μεγαλου και ιδου αγγελος εις εκαλεσ |
| 35 | And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? | |
| 36 | At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellers and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was adde | εν εκεινω τω καιρω αποκατεσταθη η βασιλεια μου εμοι και η δοξα μου απεδοθη μοι |
| 37 | Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. | τω υψιστω ανθομολογουμαι και αινω τω κτισαντι τον ουρανον και την γην και τας θαλασσας και τους ποταμους και παντα τα εν αυτοις εξομολογουμαι και αινω οτι αυτος εστι θεος των θεων και κυριος των κυριων και βασιλευς των βασιλεων οτι αυτος |
| 17 | ενωπιον μου εξεκοπη εν ημερα μια και η καταφθορα αυτου εν ωρα μια της ημερας και οι κλαδοι αυτου εδοθησαν εις παντα ανεμον και ειλκυσθη και ερριφη και τον χορτον της γης μετα των θηριων της γης ησθιε και εις φυλακην παρεδοθη και εν πεδαι | |
| 33 | εγω ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος επτα ετη επεδηθην χορτον ως βουν εψωμισαν με και απο της χλοης της γης ησθιον και μετα ετη επτα εδωκα την ψυχην μου εις δεησιν και ηξιωσα περι των αμαρτιων μου κατα προσωπον κυριου του θεου του ουραν | |
| 33 | και αι τριχες μου εγενοντο ως πτερυγες αετου οι ονυχες μου ωσει λεοντος ηλλοιωθη η σαρξ μου και η καρδια μου γυμνος περιεπατουν μετα των θηριων της γης ενυπνιον ειδον και υπονοιαι με ειληφασι και δια χρονου υπνος με ελαβε πολυς και νυστα | |
| 37 | απο του νυν αυτω λατρευσω και απο του φοβου αυτου τρομος ειληφε με και παντας τους αγιους αυτου αινω οι γαρ θεοι των εθνων ουκ εχουσιν εν εαυτοις ισχυν αποστρεψαι βασιλειαν βασιλεως εις ετερον βασιλεα και αποκτειναι και ζην ποιησαι και π | |
| 37 | εγραψε δε ο βασιλευς ναβουχοδονοσορ επιστολην εγκυκλιον πασι τοις κατα τοπον εθνεσι και χωραις και γλωσσαις πασαις ταις οικουσαις εν πασαις ταις χωραις εν γενεαις και γενεαις κυριω τω θεω του ουρανου αινειτε και θυσιαν και προσφοραν προσ | |
