Jeg, Nebukadnezar, levede en magelig og ubekymret tilværelse her i mit palads. Men en nat havde jeg en drøm, som forfærdede mig, og de syner, jeg så, gjorde mig skrækslagen. Jeg tilkaldte alle Babyloniens astrologer, præster og vismænd, for at de skulle fortælle mig, hvad drømmen betød, og de kom alle sammen. Men da jeg fortalte dem, hvad jeg havde drømt, var der ingen af dem, der kunne tyde drømmen for mig. Til sidst kaldte jeg Daniel ind, ham som jeg har opkaldt efter min gud og givet navnet Belteshazzar. Han har de hellige guders ånd[a] i sig.

„Belteshazzar,” sagde jeg til ham, „du er den klogeste af alle mine vismænd! Jeg ved, at de hellige guders ånd er i dig, og at du kan løse ethvert mysterium. Lad mig fortælle dig min drøm, så du kan tyde den for mig:

Jeg så et stort træ, som stod midt på jorden. Det var meget højt, og det blev ved med at vokse, til toppen nåede himlen. Det kunne ses af alle ud over jorden. Bladene var friske og grønne, og grenene var fulde af frugt, så der var mad nok til alle. De vilde dyr søgte ind i træets skygge, fuglene byggede rede i dets grene, og alle levede af træets frugt.

10 Derefter så jeg i drømmen en budbringer, en engel, komme ned fra Himlen, 11 og han råbte: ‚Fæld træet, så dyrene flygter, og fuglene flyver væk! Hug grenene over! Riv bladene af og spred frugterne! 12 Men lad stubben med rødderne være. Lad den stå i græsset med en lænke af jern og bronze omkring.

Han skal leve under åben himmel og gå rundt på græsmarkerne sammen med dyrene. 13 Tag hans menneskeforstand fra ham, så han lever som et dyr i syv år.

14 Denne dom er bragt af engle, for at alle mennesker kan forstå, at den højeste Gud er Konge over alle konger, og at han ønsker ydmyge ledere.’

15 Ja, Belteshazzar, det var, hvad jeg så i min drøm. Fortæl mig nu, hvad det betyder. Ingen af vismændene i mit rige kunne tyde min drøm. Men du kan, for de hellige guders ånd er i dig.”

Daniel tyder drømmen

16 Daniel, som jeg kaldte Belteshazzar, stod længe tavs og med et forfærdet udtryk i ansigtet. Til sidst sagde jeg: „Belteshazzar, du skal ikke være bange for at fortælle mig betydningen!”

Belteshazzar svarede: „Deres Majestæt, gid det forfærdelige, som denne drøm forudsiger, gjaldt Deres fjender og ikke Dem! 17 Det træ, De så, og som voksede sig stort og nåede himlen, så alle på jorden kunne se det, 18 som havde friske grønne blade og frugt nok til føde for alle, i hvis skygge dyrene hvilede, og i hvis grene fuglene byggede rede, 19 det træ er Dem selv, Deres Majestæt! De er blevet stor og mægtig, så Deres storhed når til himlen og Deres magt til jordens yderste grænser.

20 Det, De derefter så—at en engel kom ned fra Himlen og sagde: ‚Fæld træet og ødelæg det, men lad stubben med rødderne blive stående bundet med en lænke af jern og bronze. Han skal leve under åben himmel, og lad ham æde græs som dyrene, indtil der er gået syv år’— 21 det betyder, at den almægtige Gud har besluttet, hvad der skal ske med Dem: 22 De vil blive udstødt af menneskenes samfund og skal leve som et dyr. De kommer til at æde græs som kvæget og blive udsat for vejr og vind. I syv år skal De leve på den måde, indtil De indser, at den almægtige Gud er Herre over alle jordiske kongeriger, og at han giver magten til hvem, han vil. 23 Men når stubben med rødderne blev efterladt i jorden, betyder det, at han vil give Dem kongeværdigheden igen, så snart De erkender, at det er Himlens Gud, som har magten. 24 Lyt derfor til mit råd: Opgiv Deres syndige liv og gør, hvad der er ret. Hold inde med Deres ondskab og vær barmhjertig over for de fattige. Så vil det måske alligevel gå godt for Dem.”

Drømmens opfyldelse

25 Det viste sig, at alt, hvad Daniel havde sagt, gik i opfyldelse. 26 Tolv måneder senere, da jeg, kong Nebukadnezar, opholdt mig på taget af mit palads i Babylon, 27 udbrød jeg: „Se, hvor prægtig Babylon er blevet! Jeg har opført denne storslåede by og gjort den til min kongelige residens som et udtryk for min enestående magt og til ære for mig, som den store konge, jeg er.”

28 Endnu inden jeg havde talt færdig, lød der en stemme fra Himlen: „Det skal du vide, kong Nebukadnezar, at nu bliver kongedømmet taget fra dig! 29 Du vil blive udstødt af menneskenes samfund og kommer til at leve som et dyr og æde græs som kvæget. I syv år skal du leve på den måde, indtil du indser, at den almægtige Gud er Herre over alle jordens konger, og at han giver magten til hvem, han vil.”

30 Det varede ikke længe, før det hele gik i opfyldelse. Jeg blev udstødt af menneskenes samfund og måtte æde græs som kvæget. Jeg levede under åben himmel, til mit hår blev langt og stift som ørnefjer, og mine negle blev som fuglekløer.

31 Da syv år var gået, bad jeg Himlens Gud om nåde, og jeg fik min forstand igen. Da priste jeg den almægtige Gud og tilbad ham, som lever for evigt. Hans herredømme er evigt, og hans rige får aldrig ende. 32 Alverdens nationer er intet at regne i sammenligning med ham. Han råder over en hær af engle og gennemfører sin vilje blandt jordens folk. Ingen kan sætte sig op imod ham eller gå i rette med ham.

33 Jeg fik således min forstand igen og fik min tidligere kongelige ære og værdighed tilbage. Mine rådgivere og embedsmænd opsøgte mig, og jeg blev genindsat på tronen med endnu større magt og herlighed end før. 34 Derfor priser, ophøjer og ærer jeg, kong Nebukadnezar, i dag Himlens Konge. Alt, hvad han gør, er retfærdigt og godt, og han ydmyger dem, der fremturer i hovmod.

  1. 4,5 Eller: „Den hellige Guds Ånd”. Også i næste vers.

Mientras yo, Nabucodonosor, vivía tranquilo en mi residencia, rodeado de prosperidad en mi palacio, tuve un sueño que me preocupó; las visiones que pasaron por mi mente mientras dormía llegaron a alarmarme. Di entonces la orden de que trajeran a mi presencia a todos los sabios de Babilonia, con la intención de que me proporcionaran la interpretación del sueño. Así pues, se presentaron magos, adivinos, astrólogos y hechiceros, y les relaté mi sueño, pero no supieron dar con su interpretación. Al final se presentó ante mí Daniel, apodado Baltasar en referencia al nombre de mi dios y partícipe del espíritu de los dioses santos. Y yo le relaté mi sueño:

— Baltasar, jefe de los magos, sé que posees el espíritu de los dioses santos y que no hay misterios para ti. Escucha el sueño que he tenido e interprétalo. En las visiones que pasaban por mi mente mientras dormía, contemplé lo siguiente:

Había un árbol enorme
en el centro mismo de la tierra.
El árbol creció corpulento,
su copa llegaba al cielo,
visible desde toda la tierra.
Tenía un ramaje magnífico
y tal cantidad de frutos
que había comida para todos.
Las fieras del campo
venían a cobijarse a su sombra;
todas las aves del cielo
acudían a anidar en sus ramas.
Todos los seres vivientes
se nutrían de aquel árbol.

10 En las visiones que pasaban por mi mente mientras dormía, pude ver cómo un santo vigilante bajaba del cielo 11 y gritaba a pleno pulmón:

¡Talen el árbol, corten su ramaje;
arranquen sus hojas, tiren sus frutos!
Que las bestias huyan de debajo del árbol,
que los pájaros todos abandonen sus ramas.
12 Pero dejen en tierra tocón y raíces,
sujetos con cadenas de hierro y de bronce,
como una más de las matas del campo.
Que el rocío del cielo lo empape de humedad,
que comparta con las bestias la hierba del campo.
13 Que sea desposeído de entendimiento humano,
que su razón se equipare a la de un animal,
hasta que hayan pasado siete años.
14 Esta es la sentencia que dictan los Vigilantes,
esta es la decisión tomada por los Santos.
Así reconocerán todos los vivientes
que el Altísimo controla los reinos humanos:
se los da a quien le place y ensalza al más humilde.

15 Este es el sueño que tuve yo, el rey Nabucodonosor. Por tu parte, Baltasar, dime cómo se interpreta, pues ningún sabio de mi reino ha podido hacerlo. Tú serás sin duda capaz de ello, pues participas del espíritu de los dioses santos.

16 Daniel (apodado Baltasar) permaneció de momento perplejo, alarmado por sus pensamientos. El rey insistió:

— Baltasar, no te sientas alarmado por el sueño y su interpretación.

Baltasar contestó:

— Señor, ¡ojalá este sueño se refiriese a tus adversarios y tus enemigos fuesen los destinatarios de su interpretación! 17 El árbol que viste crecer corpulento, cuya copa llegaba hasta el cielo y que era visible desde toda la tierra, 18 que tenía un ramaje magnífico y tal cantidad de frutos que podía alimentar a todos, con una sombra bajo la cual iban a cobijarse los animales salvajes y unas ramas en las que anidaban las aves del cielo, ese árbol 19 eres tú, majestad. Te has hecho grande y poderoso: tu grandeza ha llegado hasta el cielo y tu poder se ha expandido por los confines de la tierra.

20 También viste, majestad, a un vigilante santo que bajaba del cielo y decía: “Talen el árbol y háganlo astillas, pero dejen en tierra el tocón y las raíces, sujetos con cadenas de hierro y de bronce, como una más de las matas del campo. Que lo empape el rocío del cielo y se alimente como las bestias del campo, hasta que pasen siete años”. 21 Pues bien, majestad, esta es su interpretación y la decisión que el Altísimo ha tomado sobre el rey, mi señor: 22 Dejarás de estar entre las personas y vivirás en compañía de las bestias del campo. Te darán hierba, igual que a los toros, quedarás empapado por el rocío del cielo. Tendrán que transcurrir siete años hasta que reconozcas que el Altísimo tiene poder sobre los reinos humanos, y los da a quien le place. 23 La orden de dejar el tocón y las raíces del árbol significa que el reino te será devuelto en cuanto reconozcas que el único que tiene poder es el Dios del cielo. 24 Así pues, majestad, acepta de buen grado mi consejo: corrige tus desvíos haciendo buenas obras y expía tus delitos practicando la misericordia con los pobres; de ese modo, se prolongará tu felicidad.

Cumplimiento del sueño

25 Esto fue lo que le sucedió al rey Nabucodonosor. 26 Transcurridos doce meses, mientras paseaba por la terraza del palacio real de Babilonia, 27 el rey iba pensando: “Esta es la gran Babilonia, construida por mí como residencia real, obra de mi poder y manifestación de mi magnificencia”.

28 Todavía andaba el rey con estos pensamientos, cuando una voz bajó del cielo:

— Contigo hablo, rey Nabucodonosor: has sido desposeído de tu reino. 29 Serás retirado de en medio de las personas y vivirás con las bestias del campo; comerás hierba como los toros, y tendrán que transcurrir siete años hasta que reconozcas que el Altísimo tiene poder sobre los reinos humanos y que los da a quien le place.

30 En aquel mismo momento se cumplieron en Nabucodonosor las palabras pronunciadas: dejó de vivir entre personas y empezó a comer hierba como los toros, su cuerpo quedó empapado por el rocío del cielo, los cabellos le crecieron como plumas de águila y le salieron uñas como las de las aves.

31 Pasado el tiempo fijado, yo, Nabucodonosor, alcé los ojos al cielo y recobré la razón. Bendije entonces al Altísimo, alabé y glorifiqué al que vive eternamente, cuyo poder es eterno y cuyo reino no tiene fin. 32 Ante él nada son los habitantes de la tierra, y hace lo que quiere con el ejército del cielo y con los habitantes de la tierra. Nadie puede detenerle la mano ni pedirle cuentas de lo que hace.

33 En aquel momento recobré la razón. También recuperé el honor y la majestad, para gloria de mi reino. Mis consejeros y ministros me reclamaron, se me devolvió el reino y se acrecentó mi poder. 34 Por eso yo, Nabucodonosor, alabo, ensalzo y reconozco la gloria del Rey del cielo: todas sus obras son verdaderas; todas sus formas de actuar, justas. Él tiene poder para humillar a las personas arrogantes.

Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.

How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:

I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.

Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,

O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

10 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.

11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:

12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.

13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;

14 He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:

15 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:

16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.

17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.

20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

21 Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:

22 It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.

27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream of a Tree

[a]King Nebuchadnezzar,

To the nations and peoples of every language,(A) who live in all the earth:

May you prosper greatly!(B)

It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs(C) and wonders that the Most High God(D) has performed for me.

How great are his signs,
    how mighty his wonders!(E)
His kingdom is an eternal kingdom;
    his dominion endures(F) from generation to generation.

I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at home in my palace, contented(G) and prosperous. I had a dream(H) that made me afraid. As I was lying in bed,(I) the images and visions that passed through my mind(J) terrified me.(K) So I commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be brought before me to interpret(L) the dream for me. When the magicians,(M) enchanters, astrologers[b] and diviners(N) came, I told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me.(O) Finally, Daniel came into my presence and I told him the dream. (He is called Belteshazzar,(P) after the name of my god, and the spirit of the holy gods(Q) is in him.)

I said, “Belteshazzar, chief(R) of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods(S) is in you, and no mystery is too difficult for you. Here is my dream; interpret it for me. 10 These are the visions I saw while lying in bed:(T) I looked, and there before me stood a tree in the middle of the land. Its height was enormous.(U) 11 The tree grew large and strong and its top touched the sky; it was visible to the ends of the earth.(V) 12 Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit abundant, and on it was food for all. Under it the wild animals found shelter, and the birds lived in its branches;(W) from it every creature was fed.

13 “In the visions I saw while lying in bed,(X) I looked, and there before me was a holy one,(Y) a messenger,[c] coming down from heaven. 14 He called in a loud voice: ‘Cut down the tree(Z) and trim off its branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it and the birds from its branches.(AA) 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. 16 Let his mind be changed from that of a man and let him be given the mind of an animal, till seven times[d] pass by for him.(AB)

17 “‘The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High(AC) is sovereign(AD) over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest(AE) of people.’

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.(AF) But you can,(AG) because the spirit of the holy gods(AH) is in you.”(AI)

Daniel Interprets the Dream

19 Then Daniel (also called Belteshazzar) was greatly perplexed for a time, and his thoughts terrified(AJ) him. So the king said, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its meaning alarm you.”(AK)

Belteshazzar answered, “My lord, if only the dream applied to your enemies and its meaning to your adversaries! 20 The tree you saw, which grew large and strong, with its top touching the sky, visible to the whole earth, 21 with beautiful leaves and abundant fruit, providing food for all, giving shelter to the wild animals, and having nesting places in its branches for the birds(AL) 22 Your Majesty, you are that tree!(AM) 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.(AN)

23 “Your Majesty saw a holy one,(AO) a messenger, coming down from heaven and saying, ‘Cut down the tree and destroy 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 with the wild animals, until seven times pass by for him.’(AP)

24 “This is the interpretation, Your Majesty, and this is the decree(AQ) the Most High has issued against my lord the king: 25 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox and be drenched(AR) with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High(AS) is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.(AT) 26 The command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots(AU) means that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules.(AV) 27 Therefore, Your Majesty, be pleased to accept my advice: Renounce your sins by doing what is right, and your wickedness by being kind to the oppressed.(AW) It may be that then your prosperity(AX) will continue.(AY)

The Dream Is Fulfilled

28 All this happened(AZ) to King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 30 he said, “Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory(BA) of my majesty?”(BB)

31 Even as the words were on his lips, a voice came from heaven, “This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you.(BC) 32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.”(BD)

33 Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was drenched(BE) with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.(BF)

34 At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity(BG) was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever.(BH)

His dominion is an eternal dominion;
    his kingdom(BI) endures from generation to generation.(BJ)
35 All the peoples of the earth
    are regarded as nothing.(BK)
He does as he pleases(BL)
    with the powers of heaven
    and the peoples of the earth.
No one can hold back(BM) his hand(BN)
    or say to him: “What have you done?”(BO)

36 At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom.(BP) My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt(BQ) and glorify(BR) the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just.(BS) And those who walk in pride(BT) he is able to humble.(BU)
