´Ü 4:1 King Nebuchadnezzar, To the peoples, nations and men of every
language, who live in all the world: May you prosp er greatly!
´Ü 4:2 It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and
wonders that the Most High God has performed for me .
´Ü 4:3 How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom
is an eternal kingdom; his dominion endures from ge neration to generation.
´Ü 4:4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at home in my palace, contented and prosperous.
´Ü 4:5 I had a dream that made me afraid. As I was lying in my bed,
the images and visions that passed through my mind terrified me.
´Ü 4:6 So I commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be brought before
me to interpret the dream for me.
´Ü 4:7 When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners came,
I told them the dream, but they could not interpr et it for me.
´Ü 4:8 Finally, Daniel came into my presence and I told him the dream.
(He is called Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and the spirit of
the holy gods is in him.)
´Ü 4:9 I said, "Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the
spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no my stery is too difficult for
you. Here is my dream; interpret it for me.
´Ü4:10 ´ÀºÎ°«³×»ìÀÇ ²Þ À̾߱â
´Ü 4:10 These are the visions I saw while lying in my bed: I looked,
and there before me stood a tree in the middle of the land. Its height
was enormous.
´Ü 4:11 The tree grew large and strong and its top touched the sky;
it was visible to the ends of the earth.
´Ü 4:12 Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit abundant, and on it was
food for all. Under it the beasts of the field fou nd shelter, and the
birds of the air lived in its branches; from it every creature was fed.
´Ü 4:13 "In the visions I saw while lying in my bed, I looked, and
there before me was a messenger, a holy one, co ming down from heaven.
´Ü 4:14 He called in a loud voice: 'Cut down the tree and trim off
its branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its f ruit. Let the animals
flee from under it and the birds from its branches.
´Ü 4:15 But let the stump and its roots, bound with iron and bronze,
remain in the ground, in the grass of the field. "'Let him be drenched
with the dew of heaven, and let him live with the animals among the plants
of the earth.
´Ü 4:16 Let his mind be changed from that of a man and let him be given
the mind of an animal, till seven times pass by for him.
´Ü 4:17 "'The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare
the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign
over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over
them the lowli est of men.'
´Ü 4:18 "This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had. Now, Belteshazzar,
tell me what it means, for none of the wise men in my kingdom can interpret
it for me. But you can, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you."
´Ü4:19 ´Ù´Ï¿¤ÀÇ ²Þ ÇØ¼®
´Ü 4:19 Then Daniel (also called Belteshazzar) was greatly perplexed
for a time, and his thoughts terrified him. So the king said, "Belteshazzar,
do not let the dream or its meaning alarm you." Belteshazzar answered,
"My lor d, if only the dream applied to your enemies and its meaning to
your adversaries!
´Ü 4:20 The tree you saw, which grew large and strong, with its top
touching the sky, visible to the whole earth,
´Ü 4:21 with beautiful leaves and abundant fruit, providing food for
all, giving shelter to the beasts of the field, an d having nesting places
in its branches for the birds of the air--
´Ü 4:22 you, O king, are that tree! You have become great and strong;
your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky , and your dominion extends
to distant parts of the earth.
´Ü 4:23 "You, O king, saw a messenger, a holy one, coming down from
heaven and saying, 'Cut down the tree and dest roy it, but leave the stump,
bound with iron and bronze, in the grass of the field, while its roots
remain in the ground . Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven; let
him live like the wild animals, until seven times pass by for him.'
´Ü 4:24 "This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree
the Most High has issued against my lord the k ing:
´Ü 4:25 You will be driven away from people and will live with the
wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle and be drenched with the dew
of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that
the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone
he wishes.
´Ü 4:26 The command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots means
that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven
rules.
´Ü 4:27 Therefore, O king, be pleased to accept my advice: Renounce
your sins by doing what is right, and your wickedne ss by being kind to
the oppressed. It may be that then your prosperity will continue."
´Ü4:28 ²Þ ¼ºÃë
´Ü 4:28 All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar.
´Ü 4:29 Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of
the royal palace of Babylon,
´Ü 4:30 he said, "Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the
royal residence, by my mighty power and for th e glory of my majesty?"
´Ü 4:31 The words were still on his lips when a voice came from heaven,
"This is what is decreed for you, King Neb uchadnezzar: Your royal authority
has been taken from you.
´Ü 4:32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the
wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle. Seven times will pass by
for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the
kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes."
´Ü 4:33 Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled.
He was driven away from people and ate grass like cattle. His body was
drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of
an eagle and his nai ls like the claws of a bird.

´Ü 4:34 At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes
toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I pr aised the Most High;
I honored and glorified him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal
dominion; his kingdom end ures from generation to generation.
´Ü 4:35 All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does
as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the p eoples of the earth.
No one can hold back his hand or say to him: "What have you done?"
´Ü 4:36 At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and
splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kin gdom. My advisers
and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even
greater than before.
´Ü 4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King
of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just.
And those who walk in pride he is able to humble. |
