¹Ja Nebukadnetsari teisel valitsemisaastal nägi Nebukadnetsar unenäo, ja ta vaim muutus rahutuks ning tal läks uni ära.

¹In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.

²Ja kuningas käskis kutsuda ennustajaid ja nõidu, posijaid ja Kaldea tarku, et nad seletaksid talle ta unenäo; ja nad tulid ning astusid kuninga ette.

²Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.

³Ja kuningas ütles neile: 'Ma nägin unenäo ja mu vaim on rahutu, püüdes seda unenägu mõista.'

³The king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

⁴Ja Kaldea targad rääkisid kuningale aramea keeles: 'Kuningas elagu igavesti! Jutusta see unenägu oma sulastele, siis me anname sulle seletuse!'

⁴Then spoke the Chaldeans to the king in the Syrian language, O king, live forever: tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.

⁵Kuningas vastas Kaldea tarkadele: 'Minu sõna on kindel: kui te ei seleta mulle ära unenägu ja selle tähendust, raiutakse teid tükkideks ja teie kojad tehakse rusudeks.

⁵The king answered the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if you don’t make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

⁶Aga kui te seletate mu unenäo ja selle tähenduse mulle ära, saate minult ande ja kingitusi ning suurt au. Nõnda et seletage mulle mu unenägu ja selle tähendus ära!'

⁶But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor: therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.

⁷Nad vastasid teist korda ja ütlesid: 'Kuningas rääkigu oma sulastele, siis me anname sulle seletuse!'

⁷They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.

⁸Kuningas kostis ja ütles: 'Ma mõistan tõesti, et te tahate aega võita, sest te näete, et minu sõna on kindel:

⁸The king answered, I know of a certainty that you would gain time, because you see the thing is gone from me.

⁹kui te ei seleta unenägu mulle ära, siis on teie kohta ainult see üks otsus. Te olete nõuks võtnud minu ees rääkida valelikke ja tühje sõnu, kuni ajad muutuvad. Seepärast öelge mulle unenägu, et ma teaksin, et te suudate ka selle tähenduse mulle teada anda!'

⁹But 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 time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can show me its interpretation.

¹⁰Kaldea targad vastasid kuningale ja ütlesid: 'Ei ole maa peal inimest, kes suudaks kuninga soovi rahuldada. Sest ükski suur ja vägev kuningas ei ole küsinud niisugust asja üheltki ennustajalt, nõialt või Kaldea targalt.

¹⁰The Chaldeans answered before 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, or enchanter, or Chaldean.

¹¹Jah, asi, mida kuningas küsib, on raske ja ei ole muid, kes suudaksid seda kuningale seletada, kui jumalad, kelle eluase ei ole inimeste juures.'

¹¹It 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.

¹²Selle peale kuningas ägestus ja vihastas väga ning käskis hukata kõik Paabeli targad.

¹²For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

¹³Kui käsk oli antud, et targad pidi tapetama, siis otsiti ka Taanieli ja tema kaaslasi, et neidki tappa.

¹³So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.

¹⁴Siis pöördus Taaniel targalt ja arukalt kuninga ihukaitsepealiku Arjoki poole, kes oli läinud Paabeli tarku tapma.

¹⁴Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon;

¹⁵Ta sõnas ja ütles Arjokile, kuninga pealikule: 'Mispärast on kuningas andnud selle valju käsu?' Siis andis Arjok Taanielile asjaolu teada.

¹⁵he answered Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so urgent from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

¹⁶Ja Taaniel läks sisse ning palus kuningat, et temale antaks aega seletada unenäo tähendus kuningale.

¹⁶Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.

¹⁷Siis läks Taaniel oma kotta ja teatas asjaolust oma kaaslastele Hananjale, Miisaelile ja Asarjale,

¹⁷Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

¹⁸et need paluksid taeva Jumalalt halastust selle saladuse asjus, et Taaniel ja tema kaaslased ei hukkuks koos teiste Paabeli tarkadega.

¹⁸that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

¹⁹Siis ilmutati saladus Taanielile öises nägemuses; ja Taaniel kiitis taeva Jumalat.

¹⁹Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

²⁰Taaniel hakkas kõnelema ja ütles: 'Jumala nimi olgu kiidetud igavikust igavikku! Sest tema päralt on tarkus ja vägi.

²⁰Daniel answered, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.

²¹Tema muudab aegu ja aastaid, tema tagandab kuningaid ja tõstab kuningaid; tema annab tarkadele tarkust ja mõistlikele mõistust.

²¹He 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;

²²Tema paljastab sügavused ja saladused, tema teab, mis on pimeduses, sest tema juures elab valgus.

²²he reveals the deep and secret things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

²³Sind, mu vanemate Jumalat, ma kiidan ja ülistan, et sa mulle oled andnud tarkust ja väge ja et sa nüüd oled teinud mulle teatavaks, mida me sinult oleme palunud - oled kuninga asja teinud meile teatavaks.'

²³I thank you, and praise you, you 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.

²⁴Seejärel läks Taaniel Arjoki juurde, kelle kuningas oli pannud Paabeli tarku hukkama; ta tuli ja ütles temale nõnda: 'Ära hukka Paabeli tarku, vii mind kuninga ette ja ma seletan kuningale unenäo tähenduse!'

²⁴Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus 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.

²⁵Siis Arjok viis Taanieli kiiresti kuninga ette ja ütles temale nõnda: 'Ma olen leidnud Juuda vangide hulgast mehe, kes tahab kuningale teatavaks teha unenäo tähenduse.'

²⁵Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, who will make known to the king the interpretation.

²⁶Kuningas kostis ja ütles Taanielile, kelle nimeks oli Beltsassar: 'Kas sina suudad mulle avaldada mu nähtud unenäo ja selle tähenduse?'

²⁶The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?

²⁷Taaniel vastas kuningale ja ütles: 'Saladust, mille kohta kuningas küsib, ei suuda kuningale seletada ei targad, nõiad, ennustajad ega täheteadlased.

²⁷Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, show to the king;

²⁸Aga taevas on Jumal, kes paljastab saladusi, ja tema ilmutab kuningas Nebukadnetsarile, mis tulevasil päevil sünnib. Su unenägu ja nägemused su peas, kui sa olid voodis, olid need:

²⁸but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these:

²⁹sinul, kuningas, tõusid voodis olles mõtted selle kohta, mis tulevikus sünnib, ja tema, kes paljastab saladusi, ilmutas sulle, mis sünnib.

²⁹as for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what shall happen.

³⁰Ja minule on see saladus paljastatud mitte minu tarkuse läbi, kui mul olekski seda rohkem kui muil elavail, vaid seepärast, et selle tähendus saaks kuningale teatavaks ja et sa mõistaksid oma südame mõtteid.

³⁰But 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.

³¹Sina, kuningas, nägid, ja vaata, oli üks suur kuju. See kuju oli suur ja selle hiilgus erakordne; see seisis su ees ja selle välimus oli hirmus.

³¹You, O king, saw, and behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its aspect was awesome.

³²Kuju pea oli puhtast kullast, rind ja käsivarred hõbedast, kõht ja reied vasest,

³²As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

³³sääred rauast, jalad osalt rauast, osalt savist.

³³its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.

³⁴Sa vaatasid, kuni üks kivi käte abita lahti murdus ja lõi kujule vastu jalgu, mis olid rauast ja savist, ja purustas need.

³⁴You 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.

³⁵Siis purunesid üheskoos raud, savi, vask, hõbe ja kuld ja said aganate sarnaseks suviselt rehealuselt: tuul viis need ära ja neist ei leidunud jälgegi. Aga kivist, mis oli tabanud kuju, sai suur mägi ja see täitis kogu maa.

³⁵Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

³⁶See oli unenägu, ja nüüd ütleme kuningale selle tähenduse:

³⁶This is the dream; and we will tell its interpretation before the king.

³⁷sina, kuningas, oled kuningate kuningas, kellele taeva Jumal on andnud kuningriigi, võimu, vägevuse ja au.

³⁷You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory;

³⁸Ja sinu kätte on ta andnud inimesed, kus need ka iganes elavad, metsloomad ja taeva linnud, seades sinu valitsema nende kõigi üle - sina oled see kullast pea!

³⁸and wherever the children of men dwell, the animals of the field and the birds of the sky has he given into your hand, and has made you to rule over them all: you are the head of gold.

³⁹Aga sinu järel tõuseb teine kuningriik, väiksem kui sinu oma, ja veel kolmas kuningriik, vasest, mis valitseb kogu maa üle.

³⁹After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

⁴⁰Siis tuleb neljas kuningriik, tugev nagu raud - raud ju lõhub ja pihustab kõike; ja nagu purustav raud, nii lõhub ja purustab ta kõik.

⁴⁰The fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, shall it break in pieces and crush.

⁴¹Aga et sa nägid jalad ja varbad olevat osalt potissepa savist ja osalt rauast, siis see tähendab jagatud kuningriiki; küll on selles raua tugevust, just nagu sa nägid rauda savimullaga segatult.

⁴¹Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.

⁴²Ja et jalgade varbad olid osalt rauast ja osalt savist, tähendab seda, et osa kuningriiki on tugev ja osa on rabe.

⁴²As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

⁴³Et sa nägid rauda savimullaga segatult, tähendab seda, et kuigi nad segunevad inimseemne poolest, ei püsi nad üksteise küljes, nagu raud ei segune saviga.

⁴³Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cling to one another, even as iron does not mingle with clay.

⁴⁴Aga nende kuningate päevil püstitab taeva Jumal kuningriigi, mis jääb igavesti hävitamatuks ja mille valitsust ei anta teisele rahvale. See lõhub ja hävitab kõik need kuningriigid, aga ta ise püsib igavesti,

⁴⁴In the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

⁴⁵just nagu sa nägid, et üks kivi käte abita mäest lahti murdus ja purustas raua, vase, savi, hõbeda ja kulla. Suur Jumal on andnud kuningale teada, mis tulevikus sünnib. Ja unenägu on tõsi ning selle tähendus kindel.'

⁴⁵Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king what shall happen hereafter: and the dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.

⁴⁶Siis kuningas Nebukadnetsar langes silmili maha ja kummardas Taanieli ning käskis temale ohverdada roaohvrit ja suitsutusohvrit.

⁴⁶Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, and worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odors to him.

⁴⁷Kuningas pöördus Taanieli poole ja ütles talle: 'See on tõsi, et teie Jumal on jumalate Jumal ja kuningate Issand ning saladuste paljastaja, sest sina suutsid selle saladuse paljastada.'

⁴⁷The 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.

⁴⁸Siis kuningas ülendas Taanieli ja andis temale palju kalleid kingitusi ning pani ta valitsejaks üle kogu Paabeli maakonna ja ülem-eestseisjaks kõigile Paabeli tarkadele.

⁴⁸Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.

⁴⁹Ja Taaniel palus kuningat ja see seadis Sadraki, Meesaki ja Abednego valitsema Paabeli maakonna üle; aga Taaniel jäi kuninga hoovkonda.

⁴⁹Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the gate of the king.
