Daniele (دانيال) 2

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 وفي السنة الثانية من ملك نبوخذناصّر حلم نبوخذناصّر احلاما فانزعجت روحه وطار عنه نومه.	1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar saw a dream, and his spirit was terrified, and his dream fled from him.
2 فأمر الملك بان يستدعى المجوس والسحرة والعرّافون والكلدانيون ليخبروا الملك باحلامه فأتوا ووقفوا امام الملك.	2 Yet the king commanded that the seers, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be gathered together to reveal to the king his dreams. When they arrived, they stood in front of the king.
3 فقال لهم الملك قد حلمت حلما وانزعجت روحي لمعرفة الحلم.	3 And the king said to them, “I saw a dream, and, being confused in mind, I do not know what I saw.”
4 فكلم الكلدانيون الملك بالارامية عش ايها الملك الى الابد. اخبر عبيدك بالحلم فنبيّن تعبيره.	4 And the Chaldeans answered the king in Syriac, “O king, live forever. Tell the dream to your servants, and we will reveal its interpretation.”
5 فاجاب الملك وقال للكلدانيين قد خرج مني القول ان لم تنبئوني بالحلم وبتعبيره تصيرون إربا إربا وتجعل بيوتكم مزبلة.	5 And in answer, the king said to the Chaldeans, “The memory of it has slipped away from me. Unless you reveal the dream to me, and its meaning, you will be put to death, and your houses will be confiscated.
6 وان بيّنتم الحلم وتعبيره تنالون من قبلي هدايا وحلاوين واكراما عظيما فبيّنوا لي الحلم وتعبيره.	6 But if you explain the dream and its meaning, you will receive from me rewards, and gifts, and great honor. Therefore, reveal to me the dream and its interpretation.”
7 فاجابوا ثانية وقالوا ليخبر الملك عبيده بالحلم فنبين تعبيره.	7 They answered again and said, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will reveal its interpretation.”
8 اجاب الملك وقال اني اعلم يقينا انكم تكتسبون وقتا اذ رأيتم ان القول قد خرج مني	8 The king answered and said, “I am certain that you are stalling for time because you know that the memory of it has slipped away from me.
9 بانه ان لم تنبئوني بالحلم فقضاؤكم واحد. لانكم قد اتفقتم على كلام كذب وفاسد لتتكلموا به قدامي الى ان يتحول الوقت. فاخبروني بالحلم فاعلم انكم تبيّنون لي تعبيره.	9 Therefore, if you do not reveal to me the dream, there is only one conclusion to be reached about you, that the interpretation is likewise false, and packed full of deception, so as to speak before me until the time passes away. And so, tell me the dream, so that I will also know that the interpretation that you tell me is likewise true.”
10 اجاب الكلدانيون قدام الملك وقالوا ليس على الارض انسان يستطيع ان يبيّن امر الملك. لذلك ليس ملك عظيم ذو سلطان سأل امرا مثل هذا من مجوسي او ساحر او كلداني.	10 Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and they said, “There is no man on earth who can accomplish your word, O king. For neither has any king, however great and mighty, asked for an answer of this kind from every seer, and astrologer, and Chaldean.
11 والأمر الذي يطلبه الملك عسر وليس آخر يبيّنه قدام الملك غير الآلهة الذين ليست سكناهم مع البشر	11 For the answer that you seek, O king, is very difficult. Neither can anyone be found who can reveal it in the sight of the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.”
12 لاجل ذلك غضب الملك واغتاظ جدا وامر بابادة كل حكماء بابل.	12 When he heard this, the king commanded, in fury and in great wrath, that all the wise men of Babylon should be destroyed.
13 فخرج الأمر وكان الحكماء يقتلون فطلبوا دانيال واصحابه ليقتلوهم.	13 And when the decree had gone forth, the wise men were put to death; and Daniel and his companions were sought, to be destroyed.
14 حينئذ اجاب دانيال بحكمة وعقل لأريوخ رئيس شرط الملك الذي خرج ليقتل حكماء بابل.	14 Then Daniel inquired, about the law and the sentence, of Arioch, the general of the king’s army, who had gone forth to execute the wise men of Babylon.
15 اجاب وقال لأريوخ قائد الملك لماذا اشتد الامر من قبل الملك. حينئذ اخبر أريوخ دانيال بالامر.	15 And he asked him, who had received the orders of the king, for what reason such a cruel sentence had gone forth from the face of the king. And so, when Arioch had revealed the matter to Daniel,
16 فدخل دانيال وطلب من الملك ان يعطيه وقتا فيبيّن للملك التعبير.	16 Daniel went in and asked of the king that he would grant him time to reveal the solution to the king.
17 حينئذ مضى دانيال الى بيته واعلم حننيا وميشائيل وعزريا اصحابه بالأمر	17 And he went into his house and explained the task to Hananiah, and Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
18 ليطلبوا المراحم من قبل اله السموات من جهة هذا السر لكي لا يهلك دانيال واصحابه مع سائر حكماء بابل	18 so that they would seek mercy before the face of the God of heaven, about this mystery, and so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the other wise men of Babylon.
19 حينئذ لدانيال كشف السر في رؤيا الليل. فبارك دانيال اله السموات.	19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night. And Daniel blessed the God of heaven,
20 اجاب دانيال وقال ليكن اسم الله مباركا من الازل والى الابد لان له الحكمة والجبروت.	20 and speaking aloud, he said, “May the name of the Lord be blessed by the present generation and for ever; for wisdom and fortitude are his.
21 وهو يغيّر الاوقات والازمنة يعزل ملوكا وينصب ملوكا. يعطي الحكماء حكمة ويعلم العارفين فهما.	21 And he alters the times and the ages. He takes away kingdoms and he establishes them. He gives wisdom to those who are wise and teaching skills to those who understand.
22 هو يكشف العمائق والاسرار. يعلم ما هو في الظلمة وعنده يسكن النور.	22 He reveals deep and hidden things, and he knows what has been established in darkness. And the light is with him.
23 اياك يا اله آبائي احمد واسبح الذي اعطاني الحكمة والقوة واعلمني الآن ما طلبناه منك لانك اعلمتنا امر الملك.	23 To you, God of our fathers, I confess, and you, I praise. For you have given wisdom and fortitude to me, and now you have revealed to me what we asked of you, for you have uncovered for us the king’s thoughts.”
24 فمن اجل ذلك دخل دانيال الى أريوخ الذي عيّنه الملك لابادة حكماء بابل. مضى وقال له هكذا. لا تبد حكماء بابل. ادخلني الى قدام الملك فابيّن للملك التعبير.	24 After this, Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke to him in this way, “Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will explain the solution to the king.”
25 حينئذ دخل أريوخ بدانيال الى قدام الملك مسرعا وقال له هكذا. قد وجدت رجلا من بني سبي يهوذا الذي يعرّف الملك بالتعبير.	25 Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel to the king, and he said to him, “I have found a man of the sons of the transmigration of Judah, who would announce the solution to the king.”
26 اجاب الملك وقال لدانيال الذي اسمه بلطشاصر هل تستطيع انت على ان تعرّفني بالحلم الذي رأيت وبتعبيره.	26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Do you really think that you can reveal to me the dream that I saw and its interpretation?”
27 اجاب دانيال قدام الملك وقال. السر الذي طلبه الملك لا تقدر الحكماء ولا السحرة ولا المجوس ولا المنجمون على ان يبيّنوه للملك.	27 And Daniel, facing the king, answered and said, “The secret that the king seeks, the wise men, the seers, and the soothsayers are unable to reveal to the king.
28 لكن يوجد اله في السموات كاشف الاسرار وقد عرّف الملك نبوخذناصّر ما يكون في الايام الاخيرة. حلمك ورؤيا راسك على فراشك هو هذا.	28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, who has revealed to you, king Nebuchadnezzar, what will happen in the latter times. Your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed, are such as these.
29 انت يا ايها الملك افكارك على فراشك صعدت الى ما يكون من بعد هذا وكاشف الاسرار يعرّفك بما يكون.	29 You, O king, began to think, while in your blanket, about what will be hereafter. And he who reveals secrets showed you what will happen.
30 اما انا فلم يكشف لي هذا السر لحكمة فيّ اكثر من كل الاحياء. ولكن لكي يعرّف الملك بالتعبير ولكي تعلم افكار قلبك	30 To me, likewise, this mystery is revealed, not according to the wisdom that is in me more than in other living things, but so that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and so that you may know the thoughts of your mind.
31 انت ايها الملك كنت تنظر واذا بتمثال عظيم. هذا التمثال العظيم البهي جدا وقف قبالتك ومنظره هائل.	31 You, O king, saw, and behold, something like a great statue. This statue, which was great and high, stood exalted above you, and you considered how terrible it was.
32 راس هذا التمثال من ذهب جيد. صدره وذراعاه من فضة. بطنه وفخذاه من نحاس.	32 The head of this statue was of the finest gold, but the breast and the arms were of silver, and further on, the belly and the thighs were of brass;
33 ساقاه من حديد. قدماه بعضهما من حديد والبعض من خزف.	33 but the shins were of iron, a certain part of the feet were of iron and another part were of clay.
34 كنت تنظر الى ان قطع حجر بغير يدين فضرب التمثال على قدميه اللتين من حديد وخزف فسحقهما.	34 And so you looked until a stone was broken off without hands from a mountain, and it struck the statue on its feet, which were of iron and clay, and it shattered them.
35 فانسحق حينئذ الحديد والخزف والنحاس والفضة والذهب معا وصارت كعصافة البيدر في الصيف فحملتها الريح فلم يوجد لها مكان. اما الحجر الذي ضرب التمثال فصار جبلا كبيرا وملأ الارض كلها.	35 Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold were crushed together and diminished like the ashes of a summer courtyard, and they were quickly taken away by the wind, and no place was found for them; but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36 هذا هو الحلم. فنخبر بتعبيره قدام الملك	36 This is the dream; we will also tell its interpretation before you, O king.
37 انت ايها الملك ملك ملوك لان اله السموات اعطاك مملكة واقتدارا وسلطانا وفخرا.	37 You are a king among kings, and the God of heaven has given to you a kingdom, and fortitude, and power, and glory,
38 وحيثما يسكن بنو البشر ووحوش البر وطيور السماء دفعها ليدك وسلطك عليها جميعها. فانت هذا الراس من ذهب.	38 and all the places wherein the sons of men and the beasts of the field dwell. He has likewise given the flying creatures of the air into your hand, and he has placed all things under your realm. Therefore, you are the head of gold.
39 وبعدك تقوم مملكة اخرى اصغر منك ومملكة ثالثة اخرى من نحاس فتتسلط على كل الارض.	39 And after you, another kingdom will rise up, inferior to you, of silver, and another third kingdom of brass, which will rule over the whole world.
40 وتكون مملكة رابعة صلبة كالحديد لان الحديد يدق ويسحق كل شيء وكالحديد الذي يكسر تسحق وتكسّر كل هؤلاء.	40 And the fourth kingdom will be like iron. Just as iron shatters and conquers all things, so will it shatter and crush all these.
41 وبما رأيت القدمين والاصابع بعضها من خزف والبعض من حديد فالمملكة تكون منقسمة ويكون فيها قوة الحديد من حيث انك رأيت الحديد مختلطا بخزف الطين.	41 Furthermore, because you saw the feet and the toes to be part of potter’s clay and part of iron, the kingdom will be divided, but still, from the slip of iron it will take its origin, since you saw the iron mingled with the earthenware from clay.
42 واصابع القدمين بعضها من حديد والبعض من خزف فبعض المملكة يكون قويا والبعض قصما.	42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, part the kingdom will be strong and part will be crushed.
43 وبما رأيت الحديد مختلطا بخزف الطين فانهم يختلطون بنسل الناس ولكن لا يتلاصق هذا بذاك كما ان الحديد لا يختلط بالخزف.	43 Yet, because you saw the iron mingled with pottery from the earth, they will indeed be combined together with the offspring of man, but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron cannot be mixed with earthenware.
44 وفي ايام هؤلاء الملوك يقيم اله السموات مملكة لن تنقرض ابدا وملكها لا يترك لشعب آخر وتسحق وتفني كل هذه الممالك وهي تثبت الى الابد.	44 But in the days of those kingdoms, the God of heaven will inspire a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and his kingdom will not be handed over to another people, and it will crush and will consume all these kingdoms, and this kingdom itself will stand in eternity.
45 لانك رأيت انه قد قطع حجر من جبل لا بيدين فسحق الحديد والنحاس والخزف والفضة والذهب. الله العظيم قد عرّف الملك ما سياتي بعد هذا. الحلم حق وتعبيره يقين	45 In accordance with what you saw, because the stone was torn away from the mountain without hands, and it crushed the earthenware, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God has shown the king what will happen after this. And the dream is true, and its interpretation is faithful.”
46 حينئذ خرّ نبوخذناصّر على وجهه وسجد لدانيال وأمر بان يقدموا له تقدمة وروائح سرور.	46 Then king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and adored Daniel, and he commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.
47 فاجاب الملك دانيال وقال. حقا ان الهكم اله الآلهة ورب الملوك وكاشف الاسرار اذ استطعت على كشف هذا السر.	47 And so the king spoke with Daniel and said, “Truly, your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and also a revealer of secrets, since you could uncover this mystery.”
48 حينئذ عظّم الملك دانيال واعطاه عطايا كثيرة عظيمة وسلطه على كل ولاية بابل وجعله رئيس الشحن على جميع حكماء بابل.	48 Then the king raised Daniel to a high rank and gave him many great gifts, and he appointed him as leader over all the provinces of Babylon and as chief of the magistrates over all the other wise men of Babylon.
49 فطلب دانيال من الملك فولى شدرخ وميشخ وعبد نغو على اعمال ولاية بابل. اما دانيال فكان في باب الملك	49 However, Daniel required of the king that he appoint Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the works of the province of Babylon. But Daniel himself was at the king’s door.
