Daniel 4
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)

Ang Pangalawang Panaginip ni Nebucadnezar

4 Gumawa si Haring Nebucadnezar ng isang mensahe para sa lahat ng tao sa ibaʼt ibang bansa, lahi, at wika sa buong mundo. Ito ang nakasulat:

“Sumainyo nawa ang mabuting kalagayan.

2 “Nais kong ipaalam sa inyo ang mga himala at kababalaghang ginawa sa akin ng Kataas-taasang Dios.

3 Kamangha-mangha at makapangyarihan ang mga himalang ipinakita ng Dios.
Ang paghahari niya ay walang hanggan.

4 “Ang aking kalagayan dito sa palasyo ay mabuti at namumuhay ako sa kasaganaan. 5 Pero nagkaroon ako ng nakakatakot na panaginip at pangitain na bumabagabag sa akin. 6 Kaya iniutos ko na dalhin sa akin ang lahat ng marurunong sa Babilonia para ipaliwanag sa akin ang kahulugan ng aking panaginip. 7 Nang dumating ang mga salamangkero, manghuhula at mga astrologo,[a] sinabi ko sa kanila ang panaginip ko, pero hindi nila maipaliwanag ang kahulugan nito.

8 “Nang bandang huli, lumapit sa akin si Daniel. (Pinangalanan siyang Belteshazar na pangalan din ng aking dios. Nasa kanya ang espiritu ng banal na mga dios.)[b] Isinalaysay ko sa kanya ang aking panaginip. 9 Sinabi ko, ‘Belteshazar, pinuno ng mga salamangkero, alam kong nasa iyo ang espiritu ng mga dios at nauunawaan mo agad ang kahulugan ng mga hiwaga. Sabihin mo sa akin ang kahulugan ng mga pangitaing nakita ko sa aking panaginip. 10 Ito ang mga pangitaing nakita ko habang natutulog ako: Nakita ko ang isang napakataas na punongkahoy sa gitna ng mundo. 11 Lumaki at tumaas ito hanggang sa langit kaya kitang-kita ito kahit saang bahagi ng mundo. 12 Mayabong ang kanyang mga dahon at marami ang kanyang bunga na maaaring kainin ng lahat. Ang mga hayop ay sumisilong dito at ang mga ibon ay namumugad sa kanyang mga sanga. At dito kumukuha ng pagkain ang lahat ng nilalang.’

13 “Nakita ko rin sa panaginip ang isang anghel[c] na bumaba mula sa langit. 14 Sumigaw siya, ‘Putulin ninyo ang punongkahoy na iyan at ang mga sanga nito. Alisin ang mga dahon nito at itapon ang mga bunga. Bugawin ninyo ang mga hayop na sumisilong at ang mga ibon na namumugad sa mga sanga nito. 15 Pero hayaan ninyo ang tuod sa gitna ng kaparangan para maging talian ng bakal at tanso.’

“Ang taong sinisimbolo ng punong iyon ay laging mababasa ng hamog at kakain ng damo kasama ng mga hayop. 16 Sa loob ng pitong taon ay mawawala siya sa katinuan at magiging isip-hayop. 17 Ito ang hatol na sinabi ng anghel para malaman ng lahat na ang Kataas-taasang Dios ang siyang may kapangyarihan sa kaharian ng mga tao. At maaari niyang ipasakop ang mga ito kahit kanino niya gustuhin, kahit na sa pinakaabang tao.

18 “Ito ang panaginip ko, Belteshazar. Sabihin mo sa akin ang kahulugan nito dahil wala ni isa man sa mga marunong sa aking kaharian ang makapagpaliwanag sa akin ng kahulugan nito. Pero maipapaliwanag mo ito sapagkat nasa iyo ang espiritu ng mga dios.”[d]

Ipinaliwanag ni Daniel ang Kahulugan ng Panaginip

19 Nabagabag at natakot si Daniel (na tinatawag ding Belteshazar) nang marinig niya ito. Kaya sinabi sa kanya ng hari, “Belteshazar, huwag kang mabagabag sa panaginip ko at sa kahulugan nito.” Sumagot si Belteshazar, “Mahal na Hari, sana ang iyong panaginip at ang kahulugan nito ay sa inyong mga kaaway mangyari at hindi sa iyo. 20 Ang napanaginipan ninyong punongkahoy na lumaki at tumaas hanggang langit na kitang-kita sa buong mundo, 21 na may mayayabong na dahon at maraming bunga na maaaring kainin ng lahat, sinisilungan ng mga hayop at pinamumugaran ng mga ibon ang mga sanga, 22 ay walang iba kundi kayo, Mahal na Hari. Sapagkat kayo po ay naging makapangyarihan; ang kapangyarihan nʼyo ay abot hanggang langit,[e] at ang inyong nasasakupan ay umabot sa ibaʼt ibang dako ng mundo.”

23 Sinabi pa ni Daniel, “Nakita nʼyo rin, Mahal na Hari, ang isang anghel na bumaba mula sa langit na sumisigaw, ‘Putulin ninyo ang punongkahoy pero hayaan ninyo ang tuod nito sa lupa na natatalian ng bakal at tanso. Hayaang mabasa ng hamog at kakain kasama ng mga hayop sa gubat sa loob ng pitong taon.’

24 “Mahal na Hari, ito po ang ibig sabihin ng pangitaing niloob ng Kataas-taasan na Dios na mangyari sa inyo: 25 Itataboy kayo at ilalayo sa mga tao at maninirahan kayong kasama ng mga hayop sa gubat. Kakain kayo ng damo tulad ng baka at palagi kayong mababasa ng hamog. Pagkatapos ng pitong taon, kikilalanin nʼyo ang Kataas-taasang Dios na siyang may kapangyarihan sa mga kaharian ng mga tao at maaari niyang ipasakop ang mga ito kahit kanino niya gustuhin. 26 Tungkol naman po sa sinabi ng anghel na hayaan lang ang tuod, ang ibig sabihin noon ay ibabalik sa inyo ang kaharian nʼyo kung kikilalanin nʼyo na ang Dios ang siyang naghahari sa lahat. 27 Kaya Mahal na Hari, pakinggan nʼyo po ang payo ko: Tigilan nʼyo na po ang inyong kasamaan, gumawa kayo ng matuwid at maging maawain sa mga dukha. Kung gagawin nʼyo po ito, baka sakaling manatili kayong maunlad.”

28 Ang lahat ng itoʼy nangyari sa buhay ni Haring Nebucadnezar. 29 Pagkalipas ng isang taon mula nang ipaliwanag ni Daniel ang kahulugan ng kanyang panaginip, ganito ang nangyari:

Habang namamasyal si Haring Nebucadnezar sa bubong ng kanyang palasyo sa Babilonia 30 sinabi niya, “Talagang makapangyarihan ang Babilonia, ang itinayo kong maharlikang bayan sa pamamagitan ng aking kapangyarihan at para sa aking karangalan.”

31 Hindi pa siya halos natatapos sa pagsasalita, may tinig mula sa langit na nagsabi, “Haring Nebucadnezar, makinig ka: Binabawi ko na sa iyo ang iyong kapangyarihan bilang hari. 32 Itataboy ka mula sa mga tao at maninirahan kang kasama ng mga hayop sa gubat. Kakain ka ng damo na parang baka. Pagkatapos ng pitong taon ay kikilalanin mo ang Kataas-taasang Dios na siyang may kapangyarihan sa mga kaharian ng mga tao at maaari niyang ipasakop ang mga ito kahit kanino niya gustuhin.”

33 Nangyari nga agad kay Nebucadnezar ang sinabi ng tinig. Itinaboy siya mula sa mga tao at kumain ng damo na parang baka. Palaging basa ng hamog ang kanyang katawan, at humaba ang kanyang buhok na parang balahibo ng agila at ang kanyang kuko ay parang kuko ng ibon.

34 “Pagkatapos ng pitong taon, ako, si Nebucadnezar ay lumapit sa Dios[f] at nanumbalik ang matino kong pag-iisip. Kaya pinuri ko at pinarangalan ang Kataas-taasang Dios na buhay magpakailanman. Sinabi ko,

‘Ang paghahari niya ay walang katapusan.
35 Balewala ang mga tao sa mundo kung ikukumpara sa kanya.
    Ginagawa niya ang nais niya sa mga anghel sa langit at sa mga tao sa lupa.
    Walang makakatutol o makakahadlang sa kanya.’

36 “Nang manumbalik na ang aking katinuan, ibinalik din sa akin ang karangalan at kapangyarihan bilang hari. Muli akong tinanggap ng aking mga opisyal at mga tagapayo, at akoʼy naging mas makapangyarihan kaysa dati. 37 Kaya ngayon, pinupuri koʼt pinararangalan ang Hari ng langit, dahil matuwid at tama ang lahat niyang ginagawa at ibinabagsak niya ang mga mapagmataas.”

Daniel 4
New English Translation

4 (3:31)[a] King Nebuchadnezzar, to all peoples, nations, and language groups that live in all the land: “Peace and prosperity![b] 2 I am delighted to tell you about the signs and wonders that the most high God has done for me.

3 “How great are his signs!

How mighty are his wonders!
His kingdom will last forever,[c]
and his authority continues from one generation to the next.”

Nebuchadnezzar Dreams of a Tree Chopped Down

4 (4:1)[d] I, Nebuchadnezzar, was relaxing in my home,[e] living luxuriously[f] in my palace. 5 I saw a dream that[g] frightened me badly. The things I imagined while lying on my bed—these visions of my mind—were terrifying me. 6 So I issued an order[h] for all the wise men of Babylon to be brought[i] before me so that they could make known to me the interpretation of the dream. 7 When the magicians, astrologers, wise men, and diviners entered, I recounted the dream for them. But they were unable to make known its interpretation to me. 8 Later Daniel entered (whose name is Belteshazzar after the name of my god,[j] and in whom there is a spirit of the holy gods). I recounted the dream for him as well, 9 saying, “Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, in whom I know there to be a spirit of the holy gods and whom no mystery baffles, consider[k] my dream that I saw and set forth its interpretation! 10 Here are the visions of my mind[l] while I was on my bed.

“While I was watching,
there was a tree in the middle of the land.[m]
It was enormously tall.[n]
11 The tree grew large and strong.
Its top reached far into the sky;
it could be seen[o] from the borders of all the land.[p]
12 Its foliage was attractive and its fruit plentiful;
on it there was food enough for all.
Under it the wild animals[q] used to seek shade,
and in its branches the birds of the sky used to nest.
All creatures[r] used to feed themselves from it.
13 While I was watching in my mind’s visions[s] on my bed,

a holy sentinel[t] came down from heaven.
14 He called out loudly[u] as follows:[v]
‘Chop down the tree and lop off its branches!
Strip off its foliage
and scatter its fruit!
Let the animals flee from under it
and the birds from its branches.
15 But leave its taproot[w] in the ground,
with a band of iron and bronze around it[x]
surrounded by the grass of the field.
Let it become damp with the dew of the sky,
and let it live with[y] the animals in the grass of the land.
16 Let his mind[z] be altered from that of a human being,
and let an animal’s mind be given to him,
and let seven periods of time[aa] go by for[ab] him.
17 This announcement is by the decree of the sentinels;
this decision is by the pronouncement of the holy ones,
so that[ac] those who are alive may understand
that the Most High has authority over human kingdoms,[ad]
and he bestows them on whomever he wishes.
He establishes over them even the lowliest of human beings.’

18 “This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its[ae] interpretation, for none of the wise men in[af] my kingdom are able to make known to me the interpretation. But you can do so, for a spirit of the holy gods is in you.”

Daniel Interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream

19 Then Daniel (whose name is also Belteshazzar) was upset for a brief time;[ag] his thoughts were alarming him. The king said, “Belteshazzar, don’t let the dream and its interpretation alarm you.” But Belteshazzar replied, “Sir,[ah] if only the dream were for your enemies and its interpretation applied to your adversaries! 20 The tree that you saw that grew large and strong, whose top reached to the sky, and that could be seen[ai] in all the land, 21 whose foliage was attractive and its fruit plentiful, and from which there was food available for all, under whose branches wild animals[aj] used to live, and in whose branches birds of the sky used to nest— 22 it is you,[ak] O king! For you have become great and strong. Your greatness is such that it reaches to heaven, and your authority to the ends of the earth. 23 As for the king seeing a holy sentinel coming down from heaven and saying, ‘Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave its taproot in the ground, with a band of iron and bronze around it, surrounded by the grass of the field. Let it become damp with the dew of the sky, and let it live with the wild animals, until seven periods of time go by for him’— 24 this is the interpretation, O king. It is the decision of the Most High that this has happened to my lord the king. 25 You will be driven[al] from human society,[am] and you will live[an] with the wild animals. You will be fed[ao] grass like oxen,[ap] and you will become damp with the dew of the sky. Seven periods of time will pass by for you, before[aq] you understand that the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms and gives them to whomever he wishes. 26 They said to leave the taproot of the tree, for your kingdom will be restored to you when you come to understand that heaven[ar] rules. 27 Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you. Break away from your sins by doing what is right, and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps your prosperity will be prolonged.”[as]

28 Now all this happened[at] to King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 After twelve months, he happened to be walking around on the battlements[au] of the royal palace of Babylon. 30 The king uttered these words: “Is this not the great Babylon that I have built for a royal residence[av] by my own mighty strength[aw] and for my majestic honor?” 31 While these words were still on the king’s lips,[ax] a voice came down from heaven: “It is hereby announced to you,[ay] King Nebuchadnezzar, that your kingdom has been removed from you! 32 You will be driven from human society, and you will live with the wild animals. You will be fed grass like oxen, and seven periods of time will pass by for you before[az] you understand that the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms and gives them to whomever he wishes.”

33 Now in that very moment[ba] this pronouncement about[bb] Nebuchadnezzar came true.[bc] He was driven from human society, he ate grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until his hair became long like an eagle’s feathers, and his nails like a bird’s claws.[bd]

34 But at the end of the appointed time[be] I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up[bf] toward heaven, and my sanity returned to me.

I extolled the Most High,

and I praised and glorified the one who lives forever.
For his authority is an everlasting authority,
and his kingdom extends from one generation to the next.
35 All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing.[bg]
He does as he wishes with the army of heaven
and with those who inhabit the earth.
No one slaps[bh] his hand
and says to him, ‘What have you done?’

36 At that time my sanity returned to me. I was restored[bi] to the honor of my kingdom, and my splendor returned to me. My ministers and my nobles were seeking me out, and I was reinstated[bj] over my kingdom. I became even greater than before. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, for all his deeds are right and his ways are just. He is able to bring down those who live[bk] in pride.

Footnotes

  1. Daniel 4:1 sn Beginning with 4:1, the verse numbers through 4:37 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Aramaic text (BHS), with 4:1 ET = 3:31 AT, 4:2 ET = 3:32 AT, 4:3 ET = 3:33 AT, 4:4 ET = 4:1 AT, etc., through 4:37 ET = 4:34 AT. Thus Dan 3:31-33 of the Aramaic text appears as Dan 4:1-3 in the English Bible, and the corresponding verses of ch. 4 differ accordingly. In spite of the division of the Aramaic text, a good case can be made that 3:31-33 AT (= 4:1-3 ET) is actually the introduction to ch. 4.
  2. Daniel 4:1 tn Aram “May your peace increase!”
  3. Daniel 4:3 tn Aram “His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.”
  4. Daniel 4:4 sn This verse marks the beginning of chap. 4 in the Aramaic text of Daniel (see the note on 4:1). The Greek OT (LXX) has the following addition: “In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign he said.” This date would suggest a link to the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 b.c. In general, the LXX of chapters 4-6 is very different from the MT, so much so that the following notes will call attention only to selected readings. In Daniel 4 the LXX lacks sizable portions of material in the MT (e.g., vv. 3-6, 31-32), includes sizable portions of material not in the MT (e.g., v. 14a, parts of vv. 16, 28), has a different order of some material (e.g., v. 8 after v. 9), and in some instances is vastly different from the MT (e.g., vv. 30, 34). Whether these differences are due to an excessively paraphrastic translation technique adopted for these chapters in the LXX, or are due to differences in the underlying Vorlage of the LXX, is a disputed matter. The latter seems more likely. There is a growing trend in modern scholarship to take the LXX of chapters 4-6 much more seriously than was the case in most earlier text-critical studies that considered this issue.
  5. Daniel 4:4 tn Aram “my house.”
  6. Daniel 4:4 tn Aram “happy.”
  7. Daniel 4:5 tn Aram “and it.”
  8. Daniel 4:6 tn Aram “from me there was placed a decree.”
  9. Daniel 4:6 tn The Aramaic infinitive here is active.
  10. Daniel 4:8 sn This explanation of the meaning of the name Belteshazzar may be more of a paronomasia than a strict etymology. See the note at 1:7. The king's god was Marduk, who was called Bel (“Lord”).
  11. Daniel 4:9 tc The present translation assumes the reading חֲזִי (khazi, “consider”) rather than the MT חֶזְוֵי (khezve, “visions”). The MT implies that the king required Daniel to disclose both the dream and its interpretation, as in chapter 2. But in the following verses Nebuchadnezzar recounts his dream, while Daniel presents only its interpretation.
  12. Daniel 4:10 tc The LXX lacks the first two words (Aram “the visions of my head”) of the Aramaic text.
  13. Daniel 4:10 tn Instead of “in the middle of the land,” some English versions render this phrase “a tree at the center of the earth” (NRSV); NAB, CEV “of the world”; NLT “in the middle of the earth.” The Hebrew phrase can have either meaning.
  14. Daniel 4:10 tn Aram “its height was great.”
  15. Daniel 4:11 tn Aram “its sight,” as also v. 17.
  16. Daniel 4:11 tn Or “to the end of all the earth” (so KJV, ASV); NCV, CEV “from anywhere on earth.”
  17. Daniel 4:12 tn Aram “the beasts of the field.”
  18. Daniel 4:12 tn Aram “all flesh.”
  19. Daniel 4:13 tn Aram “the visions of my head.”
  20. Daniel 4:13 tn Aram “a watcher and a holy one.” The expression is a hendiadys, as also in v. 23. This “watcher” is apparently an angel. The Greek OT (LXX) in fact has ἄγγελος (angelos, “angel”) here. Theodotion simply transliterates the Aramaic word (ʿir). The term is sometimes rendered “sentinel” (NAB) or “messenger” (NIV, NLT).
  21. Daniel 4:14 tn Aram “in strength.”
  22. Daniel 4:14 tn Aram “and thus he was saying.”
  23. Daniel 4:15 tn Aram “the stock of its root,” as also in v. 23. The implication here is that although the tree is chopped down, it is not killed. Its life-giving root is spared. The application to Nebuchadnezzar is obvious.
  24. Daniel 4:15 sn The function of the band of iron and bronze is not entirely clear, but it may have had to do with preventing the splitting or further deterioration of the portion of the tree that was left after being chopped down. By application it would then refer to the preservation of Nebuchadnezzar’s life during the time of his insanity.
  25. Daniel 4:15 tn Aram “its lot be.”
  26. Daniel 4:16 tn Aram “its heart.” The metaphor of the tree begins to fade here and the reality behind the symbol (the king) begins to emerge.
  27. Daniel 4:16 sn The seven periods of time probably refer to seven years.
  28. Daniel 4:16 tn Aram “over” (also in vv. 23, 25, 32).
  29. Daniel 4:17 tc The present translation follows an underlying reading of עַל־דִּבְרַת (ʿal divrat, “so that”) rather than MT עַד־דִּבְרַת (ʿad divrat, “until”).
  30. Daniel 4:17 tn Aram “the kingdom of man”; NASB “the realm of mankind”; NCV “every kingdom on earth.”
  31. Daniel 4:18 tc The present translation, as also in the next verse, reads פִּשְׁרֵהּ (pishreh, “its interpretation”) with the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss; the Kethib is פִּשְׁרָא (pishraʾ, “the interpretation”).
  32. Daniel 4:18 tn Aram “of.”
  33. Daniel 4:19 tn Aram “about one hour.” The expression refers idiomatically to a brief period of time of undetermined length.
  34. Daniel 4:19 tn Aram “my lord.”
  35. Daniel 4:20 tn Aram “its sight.”
  36. Daniel 4:21 tn Aram “the beasts of the field” (also in vv. 23, 25, 32).
  37. Daniel 4:22 sn Much of modern scholarship views this chapter as a distortion of traditions that were originally associated with Nabonidus rather than with Nebuchadnezzar. A Qumran text, the Prayer of Nabonidus, is often cited for parallels to these events.
  38. Daniel 4:25 tn The Aramaic indefinite active plural is used here like the English passive, as also in vv. 28, 29, and 32.
  39. Daniel 4:25 tn Aram “from mankind,” as also in v. 32.
  40. Daniel 4:25 tn Aram “your dwelling will be,” as also in v. 32.
  41. Daniel 4:25 tn Or perhaps: “be made to eat.”
  42. Daniel 4:25 sn Nebuchadnezzar’s insanity has features that are associated with the mental disorder boanthropy, in which the person so afflicted imagines himself to be an ox or a similar animal and behaves accordingly.
  43. Daniel 4:25 tn Aram “until.”
  44. Daniel 4:26 sn The reference to heaven here is a circumlocution for God. There was a tendency in Jewish contexts to avoid direct reference to God. Compare the expression “kingdom of heaven” in the NT and such statements as: “I have sinned against heaven and in your sight” (Luke 15:21).
  45. Daniel 4:27 tn Aram “if there may be a lengthening to your prosperity.”
  46. Daniel 4:28 tn Aram “reached.”
  47. Daniel 4:29 tn The word “battlements” is not in the text but is supplied from context. Many English versions supply “roof” here (e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); cf. NLT “on the flat roof.”
  48. Daniel 4:30 tn Aram “house.”
  49. Daniel 4:30 tn Aram “by the might of my strength.”
  50. Daniel 4:31 tn Aram “in the mouth of the king.”
  51. Daniel 4:31 tn Aram “to you they say.”
  52. Daniel 4:32 tn Aram “until.”
  53. Daniel 4:33 tn Aram “hour.”
  54. Daniel 4:33 tn Or “on.”
  55. Daniel 4:33 tn Aram “was fulfilled.”
  56. Daniel 4:33 tn The words “feathers” and “claws” are not present in the Aramaic text, but have been added in the translation for clarity.
  57. Daniel 4:34 tn Aram “days.”
  58. Daniel 4:34 tn Aram “lifted up my eyes.”
  59. Daniel 4:35 tc The present translation reads כְּלָא (kelaʾ), with many medieval Hebrew mss, rather than כְּלָה (kelah) of BHS.
  60. Daniel 4:35 tn Aram “strikes against.”
  61. Daniel 4:36 tc The translation reads הַדְרֵת (hadret, “I returned”) rather than the MT הַדְרִי (hadri, “my honor”); cf. Theodotion.
  62. Daniel 4:36 tc The translation reads הָתְקְנֵת (hotqenet, “I was established”) rather than the MT הָתְקְנַת (hotqenat, “it was established”). The MT could read: “And regarding my kingdom, it was established.”
  63. Daniel 4:37 tn Aram “walk.”
