< Daniel 2 >

1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.
В лето второе царства Навуходоносорова, соние виде Навуходоносор, и ужасеся дух его, и сон его отступи от него:
2 Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be called to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
и рече царь призвати обаятелей и волхвов, и чародеев и Халдеев, еже возвестити царю сон его. И приидоша и сташа пред царем.
3 The king said to them, “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.”
И рече им царь: видех сон, и ужасеся дух мой, еже уразумети сон.
4 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”
И глаголаше Халдее сирски цареви: царю, во веки живи: ты повеждь сон рабом твоим, и сказание его возвестим ти.
5 The king answered the Chaldeans, “The thing has gone from me. If you don’t make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut in pieces, and your houses will be made a dunghill.
Отвеща же царь Халдеом и рече: слово отступило есть от мене: аще убо не возвестите ми сна и сказания его, в пагубу будете, и домове ваши разграбятся:
6 But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.”
аще же сон и сказание его возвестите мне, даяния и дары и честь многу приимете от мене: точию сон и сказание его возвестите мне.
7 They answered the second time and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”
И отвещаша второе и реша: царь да повесть сон рабом своим, и сказание его возвестим ему.
8 The king answered, “I know of a certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see the thing has gone from me.
И отвеща царь и рече: поистинне вем аз, яко время вы (точию) искупуете, понеже видите, яко отступило есть слово от мене:
9 But if you don’t make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until the situation changes. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can show me its interpretation.”
аще убо сна не возвестите мне, вем, яко слово ложно и растленно совещастеся рещи предо мною, дондеже время минет: сон мой поведите мне, и увем, яко и сказание его возвестите мне.
10 The Chaldeans answered the king and said, “There is not a man on the earth who can show the king’s matter, because no king, lord, or ruler has asked such a thing of any magician, enchanter, or Chaldean.
Отвещаша же паки Халдее пред царем и реша: несть человека на земли, иже слово царево возможет возвестити, яко всяк царь великий и князь не вопрошает ссиеваго словесе обаятеля, волхва и Халдеа:
11 It is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
понеже слово, егоже вопрошает царь, тяжко, и несть другаго, иже возвестит е пред царем, но точию бози, ихже несть житие со всякою плотию.
12 Because of this, the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.
Тогда царь в ярости и во гневе мнозе рече погубити вся мудрыя Ваввилонския.
13 So the decree went out, and the wise men were to be slain. They sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
И изыде повеление, и мудрии убивахуся: и взыскаша Даниила и другов его убити я.
14 Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.
Тогда Даниил отвеща совет и разум Ариоху архимагиру царску, иже изыде убити мудрых Вавилонских,
15 He answered Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree so urgent from the king?” Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
и вопрошаше и глаголя: княже царев, о чесом изыде изречение безстудное от лица царева? Возвести же Ариох слово Даниилу.
16 Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.
Даниил же вниде и моли царя, яко да время даст ему, и сказание его возвестит царю.
17 Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
И вниде Даниил в дом свой и возвести слово Анании и Азарии и Мисаилу, другом своим:
18 that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions would not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
и щедрот прошаху у Бога небеснаго отайне сей, яко да не погибнут Даниил и друзие его со прочиими мудрыми Вавилонскими.
19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
Тогда Даниилу во сне нощию тайна открыся: и благослови Даниил Бога небеснаго
20 Daniel answered, “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.
и рече: буди имя Господа Бога благословено от века и до века, яко премудрость и смысл и крепость Его есть,
21 He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.
и Той пременяет времена и лета, поставляет цари и преставляет, даяй премудрость мудрым и разум ведущым смышление:
22 He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
Той открывает глубокая и сокровенная, сведый сущая во тме и свет с Ним есть:
23 I thank you and praise you, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king’s matter.”
Тебе, Боже отцев моих, исповедаюся и хвалю, яко премудрость и силу дал ми еси и возвестил ми еси, яже просихом у Тебе, и видение царево возвестил ми еси.
24 Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him: “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.”
И прииде Даниил ко Ариоху егоже пристави царь погубити мудрыя Вавилонския, и рече ему: мудрых Вавилонских не погубляй, но введи мя пред царя, и сказание сна возвешу ему.
25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said this to him: “I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.”
Тогда Ариох с потщанием введе Даниила пред царя и рече ему: обретох мужа от пленник жидовских, иже сказание царю возвестит.
26 The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?”
И отвеща царь и рече Даниилу, емуже имя Валтасар: можеши ли ми возвестити сон, егоже видех, и сказание его?
27 Daniel answered before the king, and said, “The secret which the king has demanded can’t be shown to the king by wise men, enchanters, magicians, or soothsayers;
И отвеща Даниил пред царем и рече: тайны, еяже царь вопрошает, несть мудрых, волхвов, ниже обаятелей газаринов (сила) возвестити царю:
28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
но есть Бог на небеси открываяй тайны и возвести царю Навуходоносору, имже подобает быти в последния дни. Сон твой и видение главы твоея на ложи твоем сие есть, царю:
29 “As for you, O king, your thoughts came on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what will happen.
помышления твоя на ложи твоем взыдоша, чесому подобает быти по сих, и Открываяй тайны яви тебе, имже подобает быти:
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.
и мне не премудростию сущею во мне паче всех живущих тайна сия открыся, но ради того, яко да возвещу сказание царю, да уразумееши размышления сердца твоего.
31 “You, O king, saw, and behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its appearance was terrifying.
Ты, царю видел еси: и се, тело едино, велие тело оно, и обличие его высоко, стоящо пред лицем твоим, и образ его страшен:
32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
тело, егоже глава от злата чиста, руце и перси и мышцы его сребряны, чрево и стегна медяна,
33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of clay.
голени железны, нозе, часть убо некая железна и часть некая скудельна:
34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
видел еси, дондеже отторжеся камень от горы без рук, и удари тело в нозе железны и скудельны, и истни их до конца:
35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
тогда сотрошася вкупе скудель, железо, медь, сребро и злато, и бысть яко прах от гумна летня: и взят я премногий ветр, и место не обретеся им: камень же поразивый тело бысть гора велика и наполни всю землю.
36 “This is the dream; and we will tell its interpretation before the king.
Сей есть сон, а сказание его речем пред царем.
37 You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the glory.
Ты, царю, царь царей, емуже Бог небесный царство даде крепко и державно и честно:
38 Wherever the children of men dwell, he has given the animals of the field and the birds of the sky into your hand, and has made you rule over them all. You are the head of gold.
во всяцем месте, идеже живут сынове человечи и зверие польстии, и птицы небесныя и рыбы морския дал есть в руку твою и поставил тя властелина всем: ты еси глава златая.
39 “After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you; and another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.
И последи тебе востанет царство другое меншее тебе, еже есть сребро, царство же третие, еже есть медь, еже соодолеет всей земли,
40 The fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and crush.
и царство четвертое, еже будет крепко аки железо: якоже железо стончевает и умягчает вся, такожде и то истончит и истнит вся.
41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay and part of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but there will be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
А яко видел еси нозе и персты, часть убо некую железну, часть же некую глиняну, царство разделено будет, и от корене железна будет в нем, якоже видел еси железо смешено с глиною:
42 As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
и персты ножнии, часть убо некая железна, часть же некая глиняна, часть некая царства будет крепка и от него будет сокрушена.
43 Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they won’t cling to one another, even as iron does not mix with clay.
Яко видел еси железо смешено со глиною, смешены будут во племени человечи, и не будут прилепляющеся сей к сему, якоже железо не смешается со глиною.
44 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left to another people; but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.
И во днех царей тех возставит Бог небесный царство, еже во веки не разсыплется, и царство Его людем инем не останется, истнит и развеет вся царства, тое же станет во веки,
45 Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will happen hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”
якоже видел еси, яко отсечеся от горы камень без рук и истни глину, железо, медь, сребро, злато. Бог великий возвести царю, имже подобает быти по сих: и истинен сон, и верно сказание его.
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odors to him.
Тогда царь Навуходоносор паде на лице и поклонися Даниилу, и рече дары и благовония возлияти ему.
47 The king answered to Daniel, and said, “Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.”
И отвещав царь рече Даниилу: поистинне Бог ваш Той есть Бог богов и Господь господей и Царь царей, открываяй тайны, понеже возмогл еси открыти тайну сию.
48 Then the king made Daniel great and gave him many great gifts, and made him rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.
И возвеличи царь Даниила, и дары велики и многи даде ему, и постави его над всею страною Вавилонскою и князя воеводам, над всеми мудрыми Вавилонскими.
49 Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon, but Daniel was in the king’s gate.
И Даниил проси у царя и пристави над делы страны Вавилонския Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго. Даниил же бяше во дворе цареве.
