Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified, and blessed, God in the furnace, saying,

And Nabuchodonosor heard them singing praises; and he wondered, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? and they said to the king, Yes, O king.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Ναβουχοδονόσορ ἤκουσεν ὑμνούντων αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐθαύμασε, καὶ ἐξανέστη ἐν σπουδῇ, καὶ εἶπε τοῖς μεγιστᾶσιν αὐτοῦ, οὐχὶ ἄνδρας τρεῖς ἐβάλομεν εἰς τὸ μέσον τοῦ πυρὸς πεπεδημένους; καὶ εἶπον τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἀληθῶς βασιλεῦ.
And the king said, But I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there has no harm happened to them; and the appearance of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, ὁ δὲ ἐγὼ ὁρῶ ἄνδρας τέσσαρας λελυμένους, καὶ περιπατοῦντας ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ πυρὸς, καὶ διαφθορὰ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἡ ὅρασις τοῦ τετάρτου ὁμοία υἱῷ Θεοῦ.
Then Nabuchodonosor drew near to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said, Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, proceed forth, and come hither. So Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, came forth out of the midst of the fire.
Greek · SeptuagintΤότε προσῆλθε Ναβουχοδονόσορ πρὸς τὴν θύραν τῆς καμίνου τοῦ πυρὸς τῆς καιομένης, καὶ εἶπε, Σεδρὰχ, Μισὰχ, Ἀβδεναγὼ, οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου, ἐξέλθετε καὶ δεῦτε· καὶ ἐξῆλθον Σεδρὰχ, Μισὰχ, Ἀβδεναγὼ, ἐκ μέσου τοῦ πυρός.
Then were assembled the satraps, and captains, and heads of provinces, and the royal princes; and they saw the men, [and perceived] that the fire had not had power against their bodies, and the hair of their head was not burnt, and their coats were not scorched, nor was the smell of fire upon them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ συνάγονται οἱ σατράπαι, καὶ οἱ στρατηγοὶ, καὶ οἱ τοπάρχαι, καὶ οἱ δυνάσται τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐθεώρουν τοὺς ἄνδρας, ὅτι οὐκ ἐκυρίευσε τὸ πῦρ τοῦ σώματος αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡ θρὶξ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐφλογίσθη, καὶ τὰ σαράβαρα αὐτῶν οὐκ ἠλλοιώθη, καὶ ὀσμὴ πυρὸς οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς.
And king Nabuchodonosor answered and said, Blessed be the God of Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants, because they trusted in him; and they have changed the king's word, and delivered their bodies to be burnt, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ εἶπεν, εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Σεδρὰχ, Μισὰχ, Ἀβδεσαγὼ, ὃς ἀπέστειλε τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξείλατο τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐπεποίθεισαν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ· καὶ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦ βασιλέως ἠλλοίωσαν, καὶ παρέδωκαν τὰ σὼματα αὐτῶν εἰς πῦρ, ὅπως μὴ λατρεύσωσι μηδὲ προσκυνήσωσι παντὶ θεῷ, ἀλλʼ ἢ τῷ Θεῷ αὐτῶν.
Wherefore I publish a decree: Every people, tribe, [or] language, that shall speak reproachfully against the God of Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, shall be destroyed, and their houses shall be plundered: because there is no other God who shall be able to deliver thus.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγὼ ἐκτίθεμαι τὸ δόγμα· πᾶς λαὸς, φυλὴ, γλῶσσα, ἣ ἐὰν εἴπῃ βλασφημίαν κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ Σεδρὰχ, Μισὰχ, Ἀβδεναγὼ, εἰς ἀπώλειαν ἔσονται, καὶ οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν εἰς διαρπαγὴν, καθότι οὐκ ἔστι Θεὸς ἕτερος ὅστις δυνήσεται ῥύσασθαι οὕτως.
Then the king promoted Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, in the province of Babylon, and advanced them, and gave them authority to rule over all the Jews who were in his kingdom.
Greek · SeptuagintΤότε ὁ βασιλεὺς κατεύθυνε τὸν Σεδρὰχ, Μισὰχ, Ἀβδεναγὼ, ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ηὔξησεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἠξίωσεν αὐτοὺς ἡγεῖσθαι πάντων τῶν Ἰουδαίων, τῶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ.
King Nabuchodonosor to all nations, tribes, and tongues, who dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.
Greek · SeptuagintΝαβουχοδονόσορ ὁ βασιλεὺς πᾶσι τοῖς λαοῖς, φυλαῖς, καὶ γλώσσαις, τοῖς οἰκοῦσιν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, ἐρήνη ὑμῖν πληθυνθείη.
It seemed good to me to declare to you the signs and wonders which the most high God has wrought with me,
Greek · SeptuagintΤὰ σημεῖα καὶ τὰ τέρατα ἃ ἐποίησε μετʼ ἐμοῦ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος,
how great and mighty [they are]: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power to all generations.
Greek · Septuagintἤρεσεν ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὑμῖν, ὡς μεγάλα καὶ ἰσχυρὰ, ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ βασιλεία αἰώνιος, καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν.
I Nabuchodonosor was thriving in my house, and prospering.
Greek · SeptuagintἘγὼ Ναβουχοδονόσορ εὐθηνῶν ἤμην ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου, καὶ εὐθαλῶν.
I saw a vision, and it terrified me, and I was troubled on my bed, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Greek · SeptuagintἘνύπνιον ἴδον, καὶ ἐφοβέρισέ με, καὶ ἐταράχθην ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης μου, καὶ αἱ ὁράσεις τῆς κεφαλῆς μου ἐτάραξάν με.
And I made a decree to bring in before me all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ διʼ ἐμοῦ ἐτέθη δόγμα τοῦ εἰσαγαγεῖν ἐνώπιόν μου πάντας τοὺς σοφοὺς Βαβυλῶνος, ὅπως τὴν σύγκρισιν τοῦ ἐνυπνίου γνωρίσωσί μοι.
So the enchanters, magicians, soothsayers, [and] Chaldeans came in: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me the interpretation thereof;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἰσπορεύοντο οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ, μάγοι, γαζαρηνοὶ, Χαλδαῖοι· καὶ τὸ ἐνύπνιον ἐγὼ εἶπα ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν· καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐγνώρισάν μοι,
until Daniel came, whose name is Baltasar, according to the name of my God, who has within him the Holy Spirit of God; to whom I said,
Greek · Septuagintἕως ἦλθε Δανιὴλ, οὗ τὸ ὄνομα Βαλτάσαρ κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ μου, ὃς πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἅγιον ἐν ἑαυτῷ ἔχει. ᾧ εἶπα,
O Baltasar, chief of the enchanters, of whom I know that the Holy Spirit of God is in thee, and no mystery is too hard for thee, hear the vision of my dream which I had, and tell me the interpretation of it.
Greek · SeptuagintΒαλτάσαρ ὁ ἄρχων τῶν ἐπαοιδῶν, ὃν ἐγὼ ἔγνων ὅτι πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἅγιον ἐν σοὶ, καὶ πᾶν μυστήριον οὐκ ἀδυνατεῖ σε, ἄκουσον τὴν ὅρασιν τοῦ ἐνυπνίου μου, οὗ ἴδον, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ εἰπόν μοι.
I had a vision upon my bed; and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.
Greek · SeptuagintἘπὶ τῆς κοίτης μου ἐθεώρουν, καὶ ἰδοὺ δένδρον ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς, καὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ πολύ.
The tree grew large and strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its extent to the extremity of the whole earth:
Greek · SeptuagintἘμεγαλύνθη τὸ δένδρον καὶ ἴσχυσε, καὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ ἔφθασεν ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ τὸ κῦτος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πέρας ἁπάσης τῆς γῆς,
its leaves were fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it was meat for all; and under it the wild beasts of the field took shelter, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches of it, and all flesh was fed of it.
Greek · Septuagintτὰ φύλλα αὐτοῦ ὡραῖα, καὶ ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ πολὺς, καὶ τροφὴ πάντων ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ κατεσκήνουν τὰ θηρία τὰ ἄγρια, καὶ ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ κατῴκουν τὰ ὄρνεα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐτρέφετο πᾶσα σάρξ.
I beheld in the night vision upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven, and cried aloud, and thus he said,
Greek · SeptuagintἘθεώρουν ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτὸς ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης μου, καὶ ἰδοὺ εἲρ, καὶ ἅγιος ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ κατέβη,
Cut down the tree, and pluck off its branches, and shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the wild beasts be removed from under it, and the birds from its branches.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐφώνησεν ἐν ἰσχύϊ, καὶ οὕτως εἶπεν, ἐκκόψατε τὸ δένδρον, καὶ ἐκτίλατε τοὺς κλάδους αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκτινάξατε τὰ φύλλα αὐτοῦ, καὶ διασκορπίσατε τὸν καρπὸν αὐτοῦ· σαλευθήτωσαν τὰ θηρία ὑποκάτωθεν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ ὄρνεα ἀπὸ τῶν κλάδων αὐτοῦ.
Only leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and [bind it] with an iron and brass band; and it shall lie in the grass that is without and in the dew of heaven, and its portion [shall be] with the wild beasts in the grass of the field.
Greek · SeptuagintΠλὴν τὴν φυὴν τῶν ῥιζῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐάσατε, καὶ ἐν δεσμῷ σιδηρῷ καὶ χαλκῷ, καὶ ἐν τῇ χλόῃ τῇ ἔξω, καὶ ἐν τῇ δρόσῳ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κοιτασθήσεται, καὶ μετὰ τῶν θηρίων ἡ μερὶς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ χόρτῳ τῆς γῆς.
His heart shall be changed from that of man, and the heart of a wild beast shall be given to him; and seven times shall pass over him.
Greek · SeptuagintἩ καρδία αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀλλοιωθήσεται, καὶ καρδία θηρίου δοθήσεται αὐτῷ, καὶ ἑπτὰ καιροὶ ἀλλαγήσονται ἐπʼ αὐτόν.
The matter is by the decree of the watcher, and the demand is a word of the holy ones; that the living may know that the Lord is most high [over] the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whomsoever he shall please, and will set up over it that which is set at nought of men.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιὰ συνκρίματος εἲρ ὁ λόγος, καὶ ῥῆμα ἁγίων τὸ ἐπερώτημα, ἵνα γνῶσιν οἱ ζῶντες, ὅτι Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ ὕψιστος τῆς βασιλείας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ᾧ ἐὰν δόξῃ δώσει αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐξουδένωμα ἀνθρώπων ἀναστήσει ἐπʼ αὐτήν.
This is the vision which I king Nabuchodonosor saw: and do thou, Baltasar, declare the interpretation, for none of the wise men of my kingdom are able to shew me the interpretation of it: but thou, Daniel, art able; for the Holy Spirit of God is in thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΤοῦτο τὸ ἐνύπνιον ὃ ἴδον ἐγὼ Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ σύ Βαλτάσαρ τὸ σύγκριμα εἰπὸν, ὅτι πάντες οἱ σοφοὶ τῆς βασιλείας μου οὐ δύνανται τὸ σύγκριμα αὐτοῦ δηλῶσαί μοι· σὺ δὲ Δανιὴλ δύνασαι, ὅτι πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἅγιον ἐν σοί.
Then Daniel, whose name is Baltasar, was amazed about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. And Baltasar answered and said, [My] lord, let the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation of it to thine enemies.
Greek · SeptuagintΤότε Δανιὴλ, οὗ τὸ ὄνομα Βαλτάσαρ, ἀπηνεώθη ὡσεὶ ὥραν μίαν, καὶ οἱ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτοῦ συνετάρασσον αὐτόν· καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βαλτάσαρ, καὶ εἶπε, κύριε, τὸ ἐνύπνιον ἔστω τοῖς μισοῦσί σε, καὶ ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου.
The tree which thou sawest, that grew large and strong, whose height reached to the sky and its extent to all the earth;
Greek · SeptuagintΤὸ δένδρον ὃ εἶδες τὸ μεγαλυνθὲν καὶ τὸ ἰσχυκὸς, οὗ τὸ ὓψος ἔφθανεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν, καὶ τὸ κῦτος αὐτοῦ εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν,
and whose leaves were flourishing, and its fruit abundant, (and it was meat for all; under it the wild beasts lodged, and the birds of the sky took shelter in its branches:)
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ τὰ φύλλα αὐτοῦ εὐθαλῆ, καὶ ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ πολύς, καὶ τροφὴ πᾶσιν ἐν αὐτῷ, ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ κατῴκουν τὰ θηρία τὰ ἄγρια, καὶ ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ κατεσκήνουν τὰ ὄρνεα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,
is thyself, O king; for thou art grown great and powerful, and thy greatness has increased and reached to heaven, and thy dominion to the ends of the earth.
Greek · Septuagintσὺ εἶ, βασιλεῦ, ὅτι ἐμεγαλύνθης καὶ ἴσχυσας, καὶ ἡ μεγαλωσύνη σου ἐμεγαλύνθη, καὶ ἔφθασεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν, καὶ ἡ κυρεία σου εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς.
And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and he said, Strip the tree, and destroy it; only leave the stump of its roots in the ground, and [bind it] with a band of iron and brass; and it shall lie in the grass that is without, and in the dew of heaven, and its portion shall be with wild beasts, until seven times have passed over it;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὅτι εἶδεν ὁ βασιλεὺς εἲρ, καὶ ἅγιον καταβαίνοντα ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἐκτίλατε τὸ δένδρον, καὶ διαφθείρατε αὐτὸ, πλὴν τὴν φυὴν τῶν ῥιζῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐάσατε, καὶ ἐν δεσμῷ σιδηρῷ καὶ ἐν χαλκῷ, καὶ ἐν τῇ χλόῃ τῇ ἔξω, καὶ ἐν τῇ δρόσῳ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσεται, καὶ μετὰ θηρίων ἀγρίων ἡ μερὶς αὐτοῦ, ἕως οὗ ἑπτὰ καιροὶ ἀλλοιωθῶσιν ἐπʼ αὐτόν·
this is the interpretation of it, O king, and it is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king.
Greek · SeptuagintΤοῦτο ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ βασιλεῦ, καὶ σύγκριμα ὑψίστου ἐστὶν, ὃ ἔφθασεν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα,
And they shall drive thee forth from men, and thy dwelling shall be with wild beasts, and they shall feed thee with grass as an ox, and thou shalt have thy lodging under the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and will give it to whom he shall please.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ σὲ ἐκδιώξουσιν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ μετὰ θηρίων ἀγρίων ἔσται ἡ κατοικία σου, καὶ χόρτον ὡς βοῦν ψωμιοῦσί σε, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δρόσου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσῃ, καὶ ἑπτὰ καιροὶ ἀλλαγήσονται ἐπὶ σὲ, ἕως οὗ γνῷς ὅτι κυριεύει ὁ ὕψιστος τῆς βασιλείας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ᾧ ἂν δόξῃ δώσει αὐτήν.
And whereas they said, Leave the stumps of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom abides [sure] to thee from the time that thou shalt know the power of the heavens.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὅτι εἶπαν, ἐάσατε τὴν φυὴν τῶν ῥιζῶν τοῦ δένδρου· ἡ βασιλεία σου σοὶ μένει, ἀφʼ ἧς ἂν γνῷς τὴν ἐξουσίαν τὴν οὐράνιον.
Therefore, O king, let my counsel please thee, and atone for thy sins by alms, and [thine] iniquities by compassion on the poor: it may be God will be long-suffering to thy trespasses.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο, βασιλεῦ, ἡ βουλή μου ἀρεσάτω σοι, καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου ἐν ἐλεημοσύναις λύτρωσαι, καὶ τὰς ἀδικίας, ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς πενήτων· ἴσως ἔσται μακρόθυμος τοῖς παραπτώμασί σου ὁ Θεός.
All these things came upon king Nabuchodonosor.
Greek · SeptuagintΤαῦτα πάντα ἔφθασεν ἐπὶ Ναβουχοδονόσορ τὸν βασιλέα.
After a twelvemonth, as he walked in his palace in Babylon,
Greek · SeptuagintΜετὰ δωδεκάμηνον, ἐπὶ τῷ ναῷ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι περιπατῶν,
the king answered and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for a royal residence, by the might of my power, for the honour of my glory?
Greek · Septuagintἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ εἶπεν, οὐχ αὕτη ἐστὶ Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, ἣν ἐγὼ ᾠκοδόμησα εἰς οἶκον βασιλείας, ἐν τῷ κράτει τῆς ἰσχύος μου, εἰς τιμὴν τῆς δόξης μου;
While the word was yet in the king's mouth, there came a voice from heaven, [saying], To thee, king Nabuchodonosor, they say, The kingdom has departed from thee.
Greek · SeptuagintἜτι τοῦ λόγου ἐν τῷ στόματι τοῦ βασιλέως ὄντος, φωνὴ ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ ἐγένετο, σοὶ λέγουσι Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεῦ, ἡ βασιλεία παρῆλθεν ἀπὸ σοῦ,
And they [shall] drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the wild beasts of the field, and they shall feed thee with grass as an ox: and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whomsoever he shall please.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων σε ἐκδιώκουσι, καὶ μετὰ θηρίων ἀγρίων ἡ κατοικία σου, καὶ χόρτον ὡς βοῦν ψωμιοῦσί σε, καὶ ἑπτὰ καιροὶ ἀλλαγήσονται ἐπὶ σὲ, ἕως γνῷς ὅτι κυριεύει ὁ ὕψιστος τῆς βασιλείας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ᾧ ἂν δόξῃ δώσει αὐτήν.
In the same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor: and he was driven forth from men, and he ate grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, until his hairs were grown like lions' [hairs], and his nails as birds' [claws].
Greek · SeptuagintΑὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ὁ λόγος συνετελέσθη ἐπὶ Ναβουχοδονόσορ, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐξεδιώχθη, καὶ χόρτον ὡς βοῦς ἤσθιε, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δρόσου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἐβάφη, ἕως αἱ τρίχες αὐτοῦ ὡς λεόντων ἐμεγαλύνθησαν, καὶ οἱ ὄνυχες αὐτοῦ ὡς ὁρνέων.
And at the end of the time I Nabuchodonosor lifted up mine eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised him that lives for ever, and gave [him] glory; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [lasts] to all generations:
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ μετὰ τὸ τέλος τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐγὼ Ναβουχοδονόσορ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνέλαβον, καὶ αἱ φρένες μου ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐπεστράφησαν, καὶ τῷ ὑψίστῳ ηὐλόγησα, καὶ τῷ ζῶντι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ᾔνεσα, καὶ ἐδόξασα, ὅτι ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ ἐξουσία αἰώνιος, καὶ ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεὰν,
and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none who shall withstand his power, and say to him, What hast thou done?
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ὡς οὐδὲν ἐλογίσθησαν· καὶ κατὰ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιεῖ ἐν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῇ κατοικίᾳ τῆς γῆς· καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς ἀντιποιήσεται τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ, τί ἐποίησας;
At the same time my reason returned to me, and I came to the honour of my kingdom; and my [natural] form returned to me, and my princes, and my nobles, sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and more abundant majesty was added to me.
Greek · SeptuagintΑὐτῷ τῷ καιρῷ αἱ φρένες μου ἐπεστράφησαν ἐπʼ ἐμέ, καὶ εἰς τὴν τιμὴν τῆς βασιλείας μου ἦλθον· καὶ ἡ μορφή μου ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπʼ ἐμέ, καὶ οἱ τύραννοί μου, καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνές μου ἐζήτουν με, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν μου ἐκραταιώθην, καὶ μεγαλωσύνη περισσοτέρα προσετέθη μοι.
Now therefore I Nabuchodonosor praise and greatly exalt and glorify the King of heaven; for all his works are true, and his paths are judgment: and all that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Greek · SeptuagintΝῦν οὖν ἐγὼ Ναβουχοδονόσορ αἰνῶ καὶ ὑπερυψῶ καὶ δοξάζω τὸν βασιλέα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ὅτι πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἀληθινὰ, καὶ αἱ τρίβοι αὐτοῦ κρίσεις, καὶ πάντας τοὺς πορευομένους ἐν ὑπερηφανίᾳ δύναται ταπεινῶσαι.
Baltasar the king made a great supper for his thousand nobles, and [there was] wine before the thousand.
Greek · SeptuagintΒαλτάσαρ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐποίησε δεῖπνον μέγα τοῖς μεγιστᾶσιν αὐτοῦ χιλίοις, καὶ κατέναντι τῶν χιλίων ὁ οἶνος,
And Baltasar drinking gave orders as he tasted the wine that they should bring the gold and silver vessels, which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought forth from the temple in Jerusalem; that the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, should drink out of them.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ πίνων Βαλτάσαρ εἶπεν ἐν τῇ γεύσει τοῦ οἴνου, τοῦ ἐνεγκεῖν τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ, ἃ ἐξήνεγκε Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ, καὶ πιέτωσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτοῦ, καὶ αἱ παλλακαὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αἱ παράκοιτοι αὐτοῦ.
So the gold and silver vessels were brought which [Nabuchodonosor] had taken out of the temple of God in Jerusalem; and the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, drank out of them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἠνέχθησαν τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ, ἃ ἐξήνεγκεν ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἔπινον ἐν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτοῦ, καὶ αἱ παλλακαὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αἱ παράκοιτοι αὐτοῦ.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
Greek · SeptuagintἜπινον οἶνον· καὶ ᾔνεσαν τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς, καὶ ἀργυροῦς, καὶ χαλκοῦς, καὶ σιδηροῦς, καὶ ξυλίνους, καὶ λιθίνους.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote in front of the lamp on the plaster of the wall of the king's house: and the king saw the knuckles of the hand that wrote.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐξῆλθον δάκτυλοι χειρὸς ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ἔγραφον κατέναντι τῆς λαμπάδος ἐπὶ τὸ κονίαμα τοῦ τοίχου τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐθεώρει τοὺς ἀστραγάλους τῆς χειρὸς τῆς γραφούσης.
Then the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one another.
Greek · SeptuagintΤότε τοῦ βασιλέως ἡ μορφὴ ἠλλοιώθη, καὶ οἱ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτοῦ συνετάρασσον αὐτὸν, καὶ οἱ σύνδεσμοι τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ διελύοντο, καὶ τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ συνεκροτοῦντο.
And the king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers; and he said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation, shall be clothed with scarlet, and [there shall be] a golden chain upon his neck, and he shall be the third ruler in my kingdom.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐβόησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν ἰσχύϊ, τοῦ εἰσαγαγεῖν μάγους, Χαλδαίους, γαζαρηνούς· καὶ εἶπε τοῖς σοφοῖς Βαβυλῶνος, ὃς ἂν ἀναγνῷ τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν γνωρίσῃ μοι, πορφύραν ἐνδύσεται, καὶ ὁ μανιάκης ὁ χρυσοῦς ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τρίτος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ μου ἄρξει.
Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known the interpretation to the king.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο πάντες οἱ σοφοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο τὴν γραφὴν ἀναγνῶναι, οὐδὲ τὴν σύγκρισιν γνωρίσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ.
And king Baltasar was troubled, and his countenance changed upon him, and his nobles were troubled with him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Βαλτάσαρ ἐταράχθη, καὶ ἡ μορφὴ αὐτοῦ ἠλλοιώθη ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτοῦ συνεταράσσοντο.
Then the queen came into the banquet house, and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, and let not thy countenance be changed.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ βασίλισσα εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πότου, καὶ εἶπε, βασιλεῦ, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ζῆθι· μὴ ταρασσέτωσάν σε οἱ διαλογισμοί σου, καὶ ἡ μορφή σου μὴ ἀλλοιούσθω.
There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the Spirit of God; and in the days of thy father watchfulness and understanding were found in him; and king Nabuchodonosor thy father made him chief of the enchanters, magicians, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers.
Greek · SeptuagintἜστιν ἀνὴρ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου, ἐν ᾧ πνεῦμα Θωοῦ· καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ πατρός σου, γρηγόρησις καὶ σύνεσις εὑρέθη ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ πατήρ σου ἄρχοντα ἐπαοιδῶν, μάγων, Χαλδαίων, γαζαρηνῶν, κατέστησεν αὐτὸν,
For [there is] an excellent spirit in him, and sense and understanding are in him, interpreting dreams [as he does], and answering hard [questions], and solving difficulties: [it is] Daniel, and the king gave him the name of Baltasar: now then let him be called, and he shall tell thee the interpretation of the writing.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι πνεῦμα περισσὸν ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ φρόνησις καὶ σύνεσις ἐν αὐτῷ, συγκρίνων ἐνύπνια, καὶ ἀναγγέλλων κρατούμενα, καὶ λύων συνδέσμους, Δανιήλ· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπέθηκεν ὄνομα αὐτῷ, Βαλτάσαρ· νῦν οὖν κληθήτω, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγελεῖ σοι.
Then Daniel was brought in before the king: and the king said to Daniel, Art thou Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judea, which the king my father brought?
Greek · SeptuagintΤότε Δανιὴλ εἰσήχθη ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Δανιὴλ, σὺ εἶ Δανιὴλ, ὁ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἧς ἤγαγεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ πατήρ μου;
I have heard concerning thee, that the Spirit of God is in thee, and [that] watchfulness and understanding and excellent wisdom have been found in thee.
Greek · SeptuagintἬκουσα περὶ σοῦ ὅτι πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐν σοί, καὶ γρηγόρησις, καὶ σύνεσις, καὶ σοφία περισσὴ εὑρέθη ἐν σοί.
And now the wise men, magicians, [and] soothsayers have come in before me, to read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation: but they could not tell it me.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν εἰσῆλθον ἐνώπιόν μου οἱ σοφοὶ, μάγοι, γαζαρηνοὶ, ἵνα τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην ἀναγνῶσι, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν γνωρίσωσί μοι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν ἀναγγεῖλαί μοι.
And I have heard concerning thee, that thou art able to make interpretations: now then if thou shalt be able to read the writing, and to make known to me the interpretation of it, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and there shall be a golden chain upon thy neck, and thou shalt be third ruler in my kingdom.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγὼ ἤκουσα περὶ σοῦ, ὅτι δύνασαι κρίματα συγκρῖναι· νῦν οὖν ἐὰν δυνηθῇς τὴν γραφὴν ἀναγνῶναι, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτῆς γνωρίσαι μοι, πορφύραν ἐνδύσῃ, καὶ ὁ μανιάκης ὁ χρυσοῦς ἔσται ἐπὶ τῷ τραχήλῳ σου, καὶ τρίτος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ μου ἄρξεις.
And Daniel said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give the present of thine house to another; but I will read the writing, and will make known to thee the interpretation of it.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Δανιὴλ ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, τὰ δόματά σου σοὶ ἔστω, καὶ τὴν δωρεὰν τῆς οἰκίας σου ἑτέρῳ δὸς, ἐγὼ δὲ τὴν γραφὴν ἀναγνώσομαι, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτῆς γνωρίσω σοι,
O king, the most high God gave to thy father Nabuchodonosor a kingdom, and majesty, and honour, and glory:
Greek · Septuagintβασιλεῦ· ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος τὴν βασιλείαν, καὶ τὴν μεγαλωσύνην, καὶ τὴν τιμὴν, καὶ τὴν δόξαν ἔδωκε Ναβουχοδονόσορ τῷ πατρί σου·
and by reason of the majesty which he gave to him, all nations, tribes [and] languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he smote; and whom he would he exalted; and whom he would he abased.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἧς ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ λαοὶ, φυλαὶ, γλῶσσαι ἦσαν τρέμοντες καὶ φοβούμενοι ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ· οὓς ἠβούλετο αὐτὸς ἀνῄρει, καὶ οὓς ἠβούλετο αὐτὸς ἔτυπτε, καὶ οὓς ἠβούλετο αὐτὸς ὕψου, καὶ οὓς ἠβούλετο αὐτὸς ἐταπείνου.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was emboldened to act proudly, he was deposed from his royal throne, and [his] honour was taken from him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὅτε ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἐκραταιώθη τοῦ ὑπερηφανεύσασθαι, κατηνέχθη ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς βασιλείας, καὶ ἡ τιμὴ ἀφῃρέθη ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ,
