DANIEL 4	دانيال 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.	1 مِنْ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ الْمَلِكِ إِلَى كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ وَالأُمَمِ وَالأَلْسِنَةِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. لِيَكْثُرْ سَلاَمُكُمْ.
2 I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked for me.	2 اَلآيَاتُ وَالْعَجَائِبُ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا مَعِي اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ حَسُنَ عِنْدِي أَنْ أُخْبِرَ بِهَا.
3 How great are His signs, And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And His dominion is from generation to generation.	3 آيَاتُهُ مَا أَعْظَمَهَا وَعَجَائِبُهُ مَا أَقْوَاهَا! مَلَكُوتُهُ مَلَكُوتٌ أَبَدِيٌّ وَسُلْطَانُهُ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.	4 أَنَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ قَدْ كُنْتُ مُطْمَئِنّاً فِي بَيْتِي وَنَاضِراً فِي قَصْرِي.
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.	5 رَأَيْتُ حُلْماً فَرَوَّعَنِي وَالأَفْكَارُ عَلَى فِرَاشِي وَرُؤَى رَأْسِي أَفْزَعَتْنِي.
6 Therefore I issued a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.	6 فَصَدَرَ مِنِّي أَمْرٌ بِإِحْضَارِ جَمِيعِ حُكَمَاءِ بَابِلَ قُدَّامِي لِيُعَرِّفُونِي بِتَعْبِيرِ الْحُلْمِ.
7 Then the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in, and I told them the dream; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.	7 حِينَئِذٍ حَضَرَ الْمَجُوسُ وَالسَّحَرَةُ وَالْكِلْدَانِيُّونَ وَالْمُنَجِّمُونَ وَقَصَصْتُ الْحُلْمَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يُعَرِّفُونِي بِتَعْبِيرِهِ.
8 But at last Daniel came before me (his name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god; in him is the Spirit of the Holy God), and I told the dream before him, saying:	8 أَخِيراً دَخَلَ قُدَّامِي دَانِيآلُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ بَلْطَشَاصَّرُ كَاسْمِ إِلَهِي وَالَّذِي فِيهِ رُوحُ الآلِهَةِ الْقُدُّوسِينَ فَقَصَصْتُ الْحُلْمَ قُدَّامَهُ.
9 "Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the Spirit of the Holy God is in you, and no secret troubles you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.	9 [يَا بَلْطَشَاصَّرُ كَبِيرُ الْمَجُوسِ مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ فِيكَ رُوحَ الآلِهَةِ الْقُدُّوسِينَ وَلاَ يَعْسُرُ عَلَيْكَ سِرٌّ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِرُؤَى حُلْمِي الَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ وَبِتَعْبِيرِهِ.
10 "These were the visions of my head while on my bed: "I was looking, and behold, A tree in the midst of the earth, And its height was great.	10 فَرُؤَى رَأْسِي عَلَى فِرَاشِي هِيَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَرَى فَإِذَا بِشَجَرَةٍ فِي وَسَطِ الأَرْضِ وَطُولُهَا عَظِيمٌ.
11 The tree grew and became strong; Its height reached to the heavens, And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.	11 فَكَبُرَتِ الشَّجَرَةُ وَقَوِيَتْ فَبَلَغَ عُلُوُّهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَمَنْظَرُهَا إِلَى أَقْصَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ.
12 Its leaves were lovely, Its fruit abundant, And in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, The birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches, And all flesh was fed from it.	12 أَوْرَاقُهَا جَمِيلَةٌ وَثَمَرُهَا كَثِيرٌ وَفِيهَا طَعَامٌ لِلْجَمِيعِ وَتَحْتَهَا اسْتَظَلَّ حَيَوَانُ الْبَرِّ وَفِي أَغْصَانِهَا سَكَنَتْ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ وَطَعِمَ مِنْهَا كُلُّ الْبَشَرِ.
13 "I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven.	13 كُنْتُ أَرَى فِي رُؤَى رَأْسِي عَلَى فِرَاشِي وَإِذَا بِسَاهِرٍ وَقُدُّوسٍ نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ
14 He cried aloud and said thus: 'Chop down the tree and cut off its branches, Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts get out from under it, And the birds from its branches.	14 فَصَرَخَ بِشِدَّةٍ: [اقْطَعُوا الشَّجَرَةَ وَاقْضِبُوا أَغْصَانَهَا وَانْثُرُوا أَوْرَاقَهَا وَابْذُرُوا ثَمَرَهَا لِيَهْرُبَ الْحَيَوَانُ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا وَالطُّيُورُ مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump and roots in the earth, Bound with a band of iron and bronze, In the tender grass of the field. Let it be wet with the dew of heaven, And let him graze with the beasts On the grass of the earth.	15 وَلَكِنِ اتْرُكُوا سَاقَ أَصْلِهَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَبِقَيْدٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَنُحَاسٍ فِي عُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ وَلْيَبْتَلَّ بِنَدَى السَّمَاءِ وَلْيَكُنْ نَصِيبُهُ مَعَ الْحَيَوَانِ فِي عُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ.
16 Let his heart be changed from that of a man, Let him be given the heart of a beast, And let seven times pass over him.	16 لِيَتَغَيَّرْ قَلْبُهُ عَنِ الإِنْسَانِيَّةِ وَلِْيُعْطَ قَلْبَ حَيَوَانٍ وَلْتَمْضِ عَلَيْهِ سَبْعَةُ أَزْمِنَةٍ.
17 'This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.'	17 هَذَا الأَمْرُ بِقَضَاءِ السَّاهِرِينَ وَالْحُكْمُ بِكَلِمَةِ الْقُدُّوسِينَ لِتَعْلَمَ الأَحْيَاءُ أَنَّ الْعَلِيَّ مُتَسَلِّطٌ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ النَّاسِ فَيُعْطِيهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيُنَصِّبَ عَلَيْهَا أَدْنَى النَّاسِ.
18 "This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you."	18 هَذَا الْحُلْمُ رَأَيْتُهُ أَنَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ الْمَلِكَ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا بَلْطَشَاصَّرُ فَبَيِّنْ تَعْبِيرَهُ لأَنَّ كُلَّ حُكَمَاءِ مَمْلَكَتِي لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يُعَرِّفُونِي بِالتَّعْبِيرِ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَسْتَطِيعُ لأَنَّ فِيكَ رُوحَ الآلِهَةِ الْقُدُّوسِينَ].
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonished for a time, and his thoughts troubled him. So the king spoke, and said, "Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation trouble you." Belteshazzar answered and said, "My lord, may the dream concern those who hate you, and its interpretation concern your enemies!	19 حِينَئِذٍ تَحَيَّرَ دَانِيآلُ (الَّذِي اسْمُهُ بَلْطَشَاصَّرُ) سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَفْزَعَتْهُ أَفْكَارُهُ. فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: [يَا بَلْطَشَاصَّرُ لاَ يُفْزِعُكَ الْحُلْمُ وَلاَ تَعْبِيرُهُ]. فَأَجَابَ بَلْطَشَاصَّرُ: [يَا سَيِّدِي الْحُلْمُ لِمُبْغِضِيكَ وَتَعْبِيرُهُ لأَعَادِيكَ.
20 The tree that you saw, which grew and became strong, whose height reached to the heavens and which could be seen by all the earth,	20 اَلشَّجَرَةُ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَهَا الَّتِي كَبِرَتْ وَقَوِيَتْ وَبَلَغَ عُلُوُّهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَمَنْظَرُهَا إِلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ
21 whose leaves were lovely and its fruit abundant, in which was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and in whose branches the birds of the heaven had their home--	21 وَأَوْرَاقُهَا جَمِيلَةٌ وَثَمَرُهَا كَثِيرٌ وَفِيهَا طَعَامٌ لِلْجَمِيعِ وَتَحْتَهَا سَكَنَ حَيَوَانُ الْبَرِّ وَفِي أَغْصَانِهَا سَكَنَتْ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ
22 it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong; for your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, and your dominion to the end of the earth.	22 إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَنْتَ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ الَّذِي كَبِرْتَ وَتَقَوَّيْتَ وَعَظَمَتُكَ قَدْ زَادَتْ وَبَلَغَتْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَسُلْطَانُكَ إِلَى أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ.
23 And inasmuch as the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, 'Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave its stump and roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze in the tender grass of the field; let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let him graze with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him';	23 وَحَيْثُ رَأَى الْمَلِكُ سَاهِراً وَقُدُّوساً نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ: اقْطَعُوا الشَّجَرَةَ وَأَهْلِكُوهَا وَلَكِنِ اتْرُكُوا سَاقَ أَصْلِهَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَبِقَيْدٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَنُِحَاسٍ فِي عُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ وَلْيَبْتَلَّ بِنَدَى السَّمَاءِ وَلْيَكُنْ نَصِيبُهُ مَعَ حَيَوَانِ الْبَرِّ حَتَّى تَمْضِيَ عَلَيْهِ سَبْعَةُ أَزْمِنَةٍ.
24 this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:	24 فَهَذَا هُوَ التَّعْبِيرُ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ وَهَذَا هُوَ قَضَاءُ الْعَلِيِّ الَّذِي يَأْتِي عَلَى سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ:
25 They shall drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.	25 يَطْرُدُونَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ وَتَكُونُ سُكْنَاكَ مَعَ حَيَوَانِ الْبَرِّ وَيُطْعِمُونَكَ الْعُشْبَ كَالثِّيرَانِ وَيَبُلُّونَكَ بِنَدَى السَّمَاءِ فَتَمْضِي عَلَيْكَ سَبْعَةُ أَزْمِنَةٍ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ أَنَّ الْعَلِيَّ مُتَسَلِّطٌ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ النَّاسِ وَيُعْطِيهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ.
26 And inasmuch as they gave the command to leave the stump and roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be assured to you, after you come to know that Heaven rules.	26 وَحَيْثُ أَمَرُوا بِتَرْكِ سَاقِ أُصُولِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَإِنَّ مَمْلَكَتَكَ تَثْبُتُ لَكَ عِنْدَمَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ السَّمَاءَ سُلْطَانٌ.
27 Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your prosperity."	27 لِذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ فَلْتَكُنْ مَشُورَتِي مَقْبُولَةً لَدَيْكَ وَفَارِقْ خَطَايَاكَ بِالْبِرِّ وَآثَامَكَ بِالرَّحْمَةِ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ لَعَلَّهُ يُطَالُ اطْمِئْنَانُكَ].
28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.	28 كُلُّ هَذَا جَاءَ عَلَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ الْمَلِكِ.
29 At the end of the twelve months he was walking about the royal palace of Babylon.	29 عِنْدَ نِهَايَةِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ شَهْراً كَانَ يَتَمَشَّى عَلَى قَصْرِ مَمْلَكَةِ بَابِلَ.
30 The king spoke, saying, "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?"	30 فَقَالَ: [أَلَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ بَابِلَ الْعَظِيمَةَ الَّتِي بَنَيْتُهَا لِبَيْتِ الْمُلْكِ بِقُوَّةِ اقْتِدَارِي وَلِجَلاَلِ مَجْدِي!]
31 While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice fell from heaven: "King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you!	31 وَالْكَلِمَةُ بَعْدُ بِفَمِ الْمَلِكِ وَقَعَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ: [لَكَ يَقُولُونَ يَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ الْمَلِكُ إِنَّ الْمُلْكَ قَدْ زَالَ عَنْكَ
32 And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses."	32 وَيَطْرُدُونَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ وَتَكُونُ سُكْنَاكَ مَعَ حَيَوَانِ الْبَرِّ وَيُطْعِمُونَكَ الْعُشْبَ كَالثِّيرَانِ فَتَمْضِي عَلَيْكَ سَبْعَةُ أَزْمِنَةٍ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ أَنَّ الْعَلِيَّ مُتَسَلِّطٌ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ النَّاسِ وَأَنَّهُ يُعْطِيهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ].
33 That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws.	33 فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ تَمَّ الأَمْرُ عَلَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ فَطُرِدَ مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ وَأَكَلَ الْعُشْبَ كَالثِّيرَانِ وَابْتَلَّ جِسْمُهُ بِنَدَى السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى طَالَ شَعْرُهُ مِثْلَ النُّسُورِ وَأَظْفَارُهُ مِثْلَ الطُّيُورِ.
34 And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation.	34 وَعِنْدَ انْتِهَاءِ الأَيَّامِ: [أَنَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيَّ عَقْلِي وَبَارَكْتُ الْعَلِيَّ وَسَبَّحْتُ وَحَمَدْتُ الْحَيَّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ الَّذِي سُلْطَانُهُ سُلْطَانٌ أَبَدِيٌّ وَمَلَكُوتُهُ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.
35 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, "What have You done?"	35 وَحُسِبَتْ جَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ كَلاَ شَيْءَ وَهُوَ يَفْعَلُ كَمَا يَشَاءُ فِي جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ وَسُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ وَلاَ يُوجَدُ مَنْ يَمْنَعُ يَدَهُ أَوْ يَقُولُ لَهُ: مَاذَا تَفْعَلُ؟
36 At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.	36 فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ رَجَعَ إِلَيَّ عَقْلِي وَعَادَ إِلَيَّ جَلاَلُ مَمْلَكَتِي وَمَجْدِي وَبَهَائِي وَطَلَبَنِي مُشِيرِيَّ وَعُظَمَائِي وَتَثَبَّتُّ عَلَى مَمْلَكَتِي وَازْدَادَتْ لِي عَظَمَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.	37 فَالآنَ أَنَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ أُسَبِّحُ وَأُعَظِّمُ وَأَحْمَدُ مَلِكَ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِي كُلُّ أَعْمَالِهِ حَقٌّ وَطُرُقِهِ عَدْلٌ وَمَنْ يَسْلُكُ بِالْكِبْرِيَاءِ فَهُوَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى أَنْ يُذِلَّهُ].
