Daniel 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was content in my house and prospering in my palace.	1 من نبوخذناصّر الملك الى كل الشعوب والامم والألسنة الساكنين في الارض كلها ليكثر سلامكم.
2 I saw a dream that terrified me, and my thoughts on my bed and the visions in my head disturbed me.	2 الآيات والعجائب التي صنعها معي الله العلي حسن عندي ان اخبر بها.
3 And so a decree was established by me, that all of the wise men of Babylon should be brought in before me, and that they should reveal to me the answer to the dream.	3 آياته ما اعظمها وعجائبه ما اقواها. ملكوته ملكوت ابدي وسلطانه الى دور فدور
4 Then the seers, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers entered, and I explained about the dream in their presence, but they did not reveal its answer to me.	4 انا نبوخذناصّر قد كنت مطمئنا في بيتي وناضرا في قصري.
5 And then their colleague came in before me, Daniel, (whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god,) who has the spirit of the holy gods within his very self, and I told the dream directly to him.	5 رأيت حلما فروّعني والافكار على فراشي ورؤى راسي افزعتني.
6 Belteshazzar, leader of the seers, since I know that you have in you the spirit of the holy gods, and that no mystery is unreachable to you, explain to me the visions of my dreams, which I saw, and the solution to them.	6 فصدر مني امر باحضار جميع حكماء بابل قدامي ليعرفوني بتعبير الحلم.
7 This was the vision of my head on my bed. I looked, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth, and its height was exceedingly great.	7 حينئذ حضر المجوس والسحرة والكلدانيون والمنجمون وقصصت الحلم عليهم فلم يعرفوني بتعبيره.
8 The tree was great and strong, and its height reached up to heaven. It could be seen all the way to the ends of the entire earth.	8 اخيرا دخل قدامي دانيال الذي اسمه بلطشاصر كاسم الهي والذي فيه روح الآلهة القدوسين فقصصت الحلم قدامه
9 Its leaves were very beautiful, and its fruit was very abundant, and in it was food for the whole world. Under it, animals and beasts were dwelling, and in its branches, the birds of the sky were sheltered, and from it, all flesh was fed.	9 يا بلطشاصر كبير المجوس من حيث اني اعلم ان فيك روح الآلهة القدوسين ولا يعسر عليك سرّ فاخبرني برؤى حلمي الذي رايته وبتعبيره.
10 I saw in the vision of my head upon my blanket, and behold, a watcher and a holy one descended from heaven.	10 فرؤى راسي على فراشي هي اني كنت ارى فاذا بشجرة في وسط الارض وطولها عظيم.
11 He cried out loudly, and he said this: “Cut down the tree and prune its branches; shake off its leaves and scatter its fruits; let flee the beasts, which are under it, and the birds from its branches.	11 فكبرت الشجرة وقويت فبلغ علوها الى السماء ومنظرها الى اقصى كل الارض.
12 Nevertheless, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with a band of iron and brass among the plants, which are close by, and let it be touched by the dew of heaven, and let its place be with the wild animals among the plants of the earth.	12 اوراقها جميلة وثمرها كثير وفيها طعام للجميع وتحتها استظل حيوان البر وفي اغصانها سكنت طيور السماء وطعم منها كل البشر.
13 Let his heart be changed from being human, and let the heart of a wild animal be given to him, and let seven periods of time pass over him.	13 كنت ارى في رؤى راسي على فراشي واذا بساهر وقدوس نزل من السماء
14 This is the decree from the judgment of the watchers, and the decision and proclamation of the holy ones, until the living shall know that the Supreme One is ruler in the kingdom of men, and that he will give it to whomever he wills, and he will appoint the lowest man over it.”	14 فصرخ بشدة وقال هكذا. اقطعوا الشجرة واقضبوا اغصانها وانثروا اوراقها وابذروا ثمرها ليهرب الحيوان من تحتها والطيور من اغصانها.
15 I, king Nebuchadnezzar, saw this dream. And so you, Belteshazzar, must quickly explain to me the interpretation because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to declare the meaning of it to me. But you are able because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.	15 ولكن اتركوا ساق اصلها في الارض وبقيد من حديد ونحاس في عشب الحقل وليبتلّ بندى السماء وليكن نصيبه مع الحيوان في عشب الحقل
16 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. But the king responded, saying, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream and its interpretation disturb you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, the dream is for those who hate you, and its interpretation may be for your enemies.	16 ليتغيّر قلبه عن الانسانية وليعط قلب حيوان ولتمضي عليه سبعة ازمنة.
17 The tree that you saw was lofty and strong; its height reached toward heaven, and it could be seen throughout the whole world.	17 هذا الأمر بقضاء الساهرين والحكم بكلمة القدوسين لكي تعلم الاحياء ان العلي متسلط في مملكة الناس فيعطيها من يشاء وينصب عليها ادنى الناس.
18 And its branches were very beautiful, and its fruit very abundant, and in it was food for all. Under it, dwelt the beasts of the field, and in its branches, the birds of the air stayed.	18 هذا الحلم رأيته انا نبوخذناصّر الملك. اما انت يا بلطشاصر فبيّن تعبيره لان كل حكماء مملكتي لا يستطيعون ان يعرفوني بالتعبير. اما انت فتستطيع لان فيك روح الآلهة القدوسين
19 It is you, O king, who has been greatly esteemed, and you have grown strong. And you have increased your power, and it reaches towards heaven, and your rule is to the ends of the whole earth.	19 حينئذ تحيّر دانيال الذي اسمه بلطشاصر ساعة واحدة وافزعته افكاره. اجاب الملك وقال يا بلطشاصر لا يفزعك الحلم ولا تعبيره. فاجاب بلطشاصر وقال يا سيدي الحلم لمبغضيك وتعبيره لاعاديك.
20 Yet the king also saw a watcher and a holy one descend from heaven and say: ‘Cut down the tree and scatter it; however, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass, among the surrounding plants, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, until seven periods of time pass over him.’	20 الشجرة التي رأيتها التي كبرت وقويت وبلغ علوها الى السماء ومنظرها الى كل الارض
21 This is the interpretation of the judgment of the Most High, which has reached my lord, the king.	21 واوراقها جميلة وثمرها كثير وفيها طعام للجميع وتحتها سكن حيوان البر وفي اغصانها سكنت طيور السماء
22 They will expel you from among men, and your dwelling will be with the beasts and the wild animals, and you will eat hay like an ox, and you will be drenched with the dew of heaven. Likewise, seven periods of time will pass over you, until you know that the Supreme One rules over the kingdom of men, and he gives it to whomever he wills.	22 انما هي انت يا ايها الملك الذي كبرت وتقويت وعظمتك قد زادت وبلغت الى السماء وسلطانك الى اقصى الارض.
23 But, since he commanded that the stump of its roots, that is, of the tree, should be left behind, your kingdom will be left for you, after you have realized that power is from divinity.	23 وحيث رأى الملك ساهرا وقدوسا نزل من السماء وقال اقطعوا الشجرة واهلكوها ولكن اتركوا ساق اصلها في الارض وبقيد من حديد ونحاس في عشب الحقل وليبتلّ بندى السماء وليكن نصيبه مع حيوان البر حتى تمضي عليه سبعة ازمنة.
24 Because of this, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you. And redeem your sins with alms, and your iniquities with mercy towards the poor. Perhaps he will forgive your offenses.”	24 فهذا هو التعبير ايها الملك وهذا هو قضاء العلي الذي يأتي على سيدي الملك.
25 All these things came upon king Nebuchadnezzar.	25 يطردونك من بين الناس وتكون سكناك مع حيوان البر ويطعمونك العشب كالثيران ويبلونك بندى السماء فتمضي عليك سبعة ازمنة حتى تعلم ان العلي متسلط في مملكة الناس ويعطيها من يشاء.
26 After the end of twelve months, he was taking a walk in the palace of Babylon.	26 وحيث أمروا بترك ساق اصول الشجرة فان مملكتك تثبت لك عندما تعلم ان السماء سلطان.
27 And the king spoke out loud, saying, “Isn’t this the great Babylon, which I have built, as the home of the kingdom, by the strength of my power and in the glory of my excellence?”	27 لذلك ايها الملك فلتكن مشورتي مقبولة لديك وفارق خطاياك بالبر وآثامك بالرحمة للمساكين لعله يطال اطمئنانك
28 And while the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice rushed down from heaven, “To you, O king Nebuchadnezzar, it is said: ‘Your kingdom will be taken away from you,	28 كل هذا جاء على نبوخذناصّر الملك.
29 and they will expel you from among men, and your dwelling will be with the beasts and the wild animals. You will eat hay like an ox, and seven times will pass over you, until you know that the Supreme One rules in the kingdom of men, and he gives it to whomever he wills.’ ”	29 عند نهاية اثني عشر شهرا كان يتمشى على قصر مملكة بابل.
30 The same hour, the sentence was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven away from among men, and he ate hay like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until his hair increased like the feathers of eagles, and his nails like those of birds.	30 واجاب الملك فقال أليست هذه بابل العظيمة التي بنيتها لبيت الملك بقوة اقتداري ولجلال مجدي.
31 Therefore, at the end of these days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my mind was restored to me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and glorified him who lives forever. For his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is from generation to generation.	31 والكلمة بعد في فم الملك وقع صوت من السماء قائلا لك يقولون يا نبوخذناصّر الملك ان الملك قد زال عنك
32 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him. For he acts according to his own will, with the inhabitants of the earth just as with the holy inhabitants of heaven. And there is no one who can resist his hand, or say to him, “Why have you done this?”	32 ويطردونك من بين الناس وتكون سكناك مع حيوان البر ويطعمونك العشب كالثيران فتمضي عليك سبعة ازمنة حتى تعلم ان العلي متسلط في مملكة الناس وانه يعطيها من يشاء
33 At the same time, my mind returned to me, and I arrived at the honor and glory of my kingdom. And my appearance was given back to me. And my nobles and my magistrates needed me. And I was restored to my kingdom, and even greater majesty was added to me.	33 في تلك الساعة تم الأمر على نبوخذناصّر فطرد من بين الناس واكل العشب كالثيران وابتلّ جسمه بندى السماء حتى طال شعره مثل النسور واظفاره مثل الطيور
34 Therefore I, Nebuchadnezzar, now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven, because all his works and the judgments of his way are true, and those who go forth in arrogance, he is able to bring low.	34 وعند انتهاء الايام انا نبوخذناصّر رفعت عينيّ الى السماء فرجع اليّ عقلي وباركت العلي وسبحت وحمدت الحي الى الابد الذي سلطانه سلطان ابدي وملكوته الى دور فدور.
	35 وحسبت جميع سكان الارض كلا شيء وهو يفعل كما يشاء في جند السماء وسكان الارض ولا يوجد من يمنع يده او يقول له ماذا تفعل.
	36 في ذلك الوقت رجع اليّ عقلي وعاد اليّ جلال مملكتي ومجدي وبهائي وطلبني مشيريّ وعظمائي وتثبّت على مملكتي وازدادت لي عظمة كثيرة.
	37 فالآن انا نبوخذناصّر اسبح واعظم واحمد ملك السماء الذي كل اعماله حق وطرقه عدل ومن يسلك بالكبرياء فهو قادر على ان يذلّه
