1In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled his spirit, and sleep escaped him.
“And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams wherewith his spirit was troubled and his sleep break from him.”
“and 2 that in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams wherewith his spirit was troubled and his sleep break from him.”
“And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams wherewith his spirit was troubled and asleep broke from him.”
“in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams wherewith his spirit was troubled and his sleep was taken from him.”
“and verse 1, In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, he dreamed dreams wherewith his spirit was troubled and his sleep break from him.”
2So the king gave orders to summon the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to explain his dreams. When they came and stood before the king,
“Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.”
“Then the king commanded to call the magicians and the astrologers and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans for to show the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king”
“Then the king commanded to call the magicians and the astrologers and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans for to show the king his dreams. And so they came and stood before the king.”
“Then the king commanded to call the magicians and the astrologers and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans to show the king his dream. So they came and they stood before the king”
“Then the king commanded to call the magicians and the astrologers and the sorcerers and the charlatans for to show the king of dreams. So they came and stood before the king.”
3he said to them, "I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to understand it."
“And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.”
“and the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.”
“And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.”
4Then the astrologers answered the king in Aramaic, "O king, may you live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation."
“Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic. Oh, king, live forever. Tell your servants the dream and we will give you the interpretation.”
5The king replied to the astrologers, "My word is final: If you do not tell me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut into pieces and your houses will be reduced to rubble.
“the king answered and said to the Chaldeans, my decision is firm. If you do not make known the dream to me and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces and your houses shall be made an ash heap.”
“The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, the thing is gone from me. If ye will not make known unto me the dream with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces and your houses shall be made a dunghill.”
“The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me, if ye will not make known unto me the dream. With the interpretation thereof ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.”
6But if you tell me the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. So tell me the dream and its interpretation."
“However, if you tell the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts, rewards and great honor. Therefore, tell me the dream and its interpretation.”
“But if you declare the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts and a reward and great honor, therefore declare to me the dream and its interpretation.”
“But if ye show the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour. Therefore show me the dream and the interpretation thereof.”
“But if ye show the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and the interpretation thereof.”
“But if ye showed the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and the interpretation thereof.”
7They answered a second time, "Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will give the interpretation."
“they answered again and said, let the king tell his servants the dream and we will give its interpretation.”
“They answered again and said, let the king tell his servants the dream and we will show the interpretation of it.”
“They answered again and said, let the king tell his servant the dream and we will show the interpretation of it.”
8The king replied, "I know for sure that you are stalling for time, because you see that my word is final.
“The king answered and said, I know for certain that you would gain time because you see that my decision is firm.”
“The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time because ye see the thing is gone from me.”
“The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time because you see the thing is gone from me.”
“The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the thing is gone from me,”
9If you do not tell me the dream, there is only one decree for you. You have conspired to speak before me false and fraudulent words, hoping the situation will change. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can give me its interpretation."
“But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you. For ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me till the time be changed. Therefore tell me the dream and I shall know that ye can…”
“But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me till the time be changed. Therefore tell me the dream and I shall know that ye can…”
“If you do not make known the dream to me, there's only one decree for you. For you have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the time has changed. Therefore, tell me the dream and I shall know that you can give…”
“if ye will not make known unto me the dream. There is but one decree for you, for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can…”
“But if you will not make known unto me the dream there is but one decree for you. For you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me till the time be changed. Therefore tell me the dream and I shall know that you…”
10The astrologers answered the king, "No one on earth can do what the king requests! No king, however great and powerful, has ever asked anything like this of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer.
“The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, there is not a man upon the earth that can show the king's matter. Therefore there is no king, lord, no ruler that asks such a thing of any magician or astrologer or Chaldean.”
“The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can show the king's matter. Therefore there is no king, no lord, no ruler, that ask such things of any magician or astrologer or Chaldean.”
11What the king requests is so difficult that no one can tell it to him except the gods, whose dwelling is not with mortals."
“And it is a rare thing that the king require us. And there is none other that can show it before the king except the gods whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
“And it is a rare thing that the king requires. And there is none other than can show it before the king, except the gods whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
“And it is a rare thing that the king requires and there is none other that can show it before the king except the gods whose dwelling is not the flesh.”
12This response made the king so furious with anger that he gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
“For this cause the king was angry and very furious and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.”
“for this cause the king was angry and very furious and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon”
“For this cause, the king was angry and very furious and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.”
“For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.”
“For this reason, the king was angry and very furious and gave a command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.”
13So the decree went out that the wise men were to be executed, and men went to look for Daniel and his friends to execute them.
“And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.”
“And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain. And they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.”
“and The decree went forth that the wise men should be slain and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.”
“So the decree went out and they began killing the wise men and they sought to kill Daniel and his companions to kill them.”
“And the decree went forth on the wise men should be slain. And they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.”
14When Arioch, the commander of the king's guard, had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon, Daniel replied with discretion and tact.
“Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Ariok the captain of the king's guard which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.”
“Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Ariok the captain of the Kings guard. Which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.”
“Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Ariok, the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.”
“Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Ariok, the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.”
“Then, with counsel and wisdom, Daniel answered Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men.”
15"Why is the decree from the king so harsh?" he asked. At this time Arioch explained the situation to Daniel.
“He answered and said to Ariok the king's captain, why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Ariok made the thing known to Daniel.”
“He answered and said to Ariok the Kings captain Why is the decree so hasty from the king. Then Ariok made the thing known to Daniel”
“He answered and said to Ariok, the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Ariok made the thing known to Daniel.”
16So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him some time, so that he could give him the interpretation.
“So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time that he might tell the king the interpretation.”
“Then Daniel went in and desired of the king that he would give him time and that he would show the king the interpretation.”
“Then Daniel went in and desired of the king that he would give him time and that he would show the king the interpretation.”
“then Daniel went in and Desired of the king that he would give him time that he would show the king the interpretation”
“Daniel went then and desired of the king that he would give him time and that he would show the king the interpretation.”
17Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
“Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah his companions.”
“Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, his companions,”
“Then Daniel went to his house and he made the thing known to Hananiah, Michal, and Azariah, his companions,”
“Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,”
“Then Daniel went into his house and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,”
“Daniel went to his house and he made the things known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions.”
18urging them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be killed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
“that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.”
“that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.”
“That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.”
“That they would desire mercies of God of the God of heaven concerning this secret. That Daniel and his fellows should not perish for the rest of the wise men of Babylon.”
“That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning his secrets that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men.”
19During the night, the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision, and he blessed the God of heaven
“Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.”
“"'Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. "'So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.”
“then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.”

“Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.”
“Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision, and Daniel blessed the God of heaven,”
20and declared: "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him.
“"'Daniel answered and said, "'Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, "'for wisdom and might are his,”
“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are his.”

22He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.
“"'He reveals deep and secret things. "'He knows what is in the darkness "'and light dwells with him.”
“he revealeth the deep and secret things, he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”

23To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, because You have given me wisdom and power. And now You have made known to me what we have requested, for You have made known to us the dream of the king."
“I thank thee and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee, for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.”

“I thank thee and I praise thee. O thou God of my fathers, who hast made known unto me, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee. For thou hast now made known unto us the king's…”
24Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, "Do not execute the wise men of Babylon! Bring me before the king, and I will give him the interpretation."
“Therefore Daniel went in unto Ariok whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said thus unto him. Destroy not the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king and I will show unto the king the…”
25Arioch hastily brought Daniel before the king and said to him, "I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who will tell the king the interpretation."
“Then Adhiok brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.”
“Then Ariok brought in Daniel before the king in haste and said unto him. I have found a man of the captives of Judah that will make known unto the king the interpretation.”
“Aroch brought in Daniel before the king in haste and said thus unto him, I have found a man, I have found a man of the captives of Judah that will make known unto the king the interpretation.”
26The king responded to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to tell me what I saw in the dream, as well as its interpretation?"
“The king answered and said to Daniel whose name was Beldeshazzar. Are thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen and the interpretation thereof.”
27Daniel answered the king, "No wise man, enchanter, medium, or magician can explain to the king the mystery of which he inquires.
“Daniel answered in the presence of the king and said the secret which the king has demanded. The wise men, the astrologers, the magicians and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king.”
“Daniel answered in the presence of the king and said, The secret which the king hath demanded, cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king?”
“Daniel answered in the presence of the king and said. The secret which the king has demanded. Cannot the wise men the astrologers the magicians the soothsayers show unto the king.”
28But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the latter days. Your dream and the visions that came into your mind as you lay on your bed were these:
“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 upon your bed were these.”
“But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Look at that. Then thy dream and the visions of thy head upon thy bed are these.”
“But there is a God in heaven. That revealeth secrets and makes known unto the king Nebuchadnezzar. What shall be in the latter days thy dream and thy visions of thy head upon thy bed are these.”
29As you lay on your bed, O king, your thoughts turned to the future, and the Revealer of Mysteries made known to you what will happen.
“As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed. What should come to pass hereafter? And he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.”
“As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed which should come to pass hereafter. And he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.”
“As for you, OK, thoughts came to your mind while you're on your bed about what would come to pass after this. He who reveals secrets has made known to you what will be.”
30And to me this mystery has been revealed, not because I have more wisdom than any man alive, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.
“But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living. But for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.”
“but as for me this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living. But for their sake that shall make known the interpretation to the king and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.”

“But as for me this secret is not revealed unto me for any wisdom that I have more than any living. But for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation of the king and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.”
31As you, O king, were watching, a great statue appeared. A great and dazzling statue stood before you, and its form was awesome.
“You, O King, were watching and behold a great image. This great image whose splendor was excellent stood before you and its form was awesome.”
“Thou, O king, sawst and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee, and the form thereof was terrible.”
“You, O King, were looking, and behold, there was a single great statue. That statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome.”
“you O king were watching and behold a great image. This great image whose splendor was excellent stood before you and its form was awesome.”
“Thou, O king, saw'st, and behold, a great image. And this great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee, and the form thereof was terrible.”
“Thou, O King, saw'st, and, behold, a great image, this great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee, and the form thereof was terrible.”
32The head of the statue was pure gold, its chest and arms were silver, its belly and thighs were bronze,
“This image's head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,”
“This image's head was of fine gold its chest and arms of silver. It's belly and thighs of bronze”
“The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,”
“This image's head was of fine gold its chest and arms of silver its belly and thighs of bronze”
“This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,”
“this image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass”
33its legs were iron, and its feet were part iron and part clay.
“his legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.”
“its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.”
“his legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.”
“its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.”
“its legs of iron its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.”
“his legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.”
34As you watched, a stone was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and crushed them.
“Thou saw'st still that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet, that were of iron and clay, and break them to pieces.”
“You watched while a stone was cut out without hands which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay and broke them in pieces.”
“Thou saw'st till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet, that were of iron and clay, and break them to pieces.”
“You continued looking until a stone was cut without hands. And it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.”
“Thou sawst that a stone was cut out without hands which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay and break them to pieces.”
“You watched while a stone was cut without hands, which struck the image on the feet of iron and clay and broke them in pieces.”
35Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were shattered and became like chaff on the threshing floor in summer. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that had struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
“Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed together and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found and the stone that struck…”
“Then the iron the clay the bronze and the silver and the gold were crushed together and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found and The stone that struck…”
“Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed together and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found and the stone that struck…”
“Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors, and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them. And the stone…”
“Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like the chap from the summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But…”
“Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them. And the…”
36This was the dream; now we will tell the king its interpretation.
“This is the dream. And we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.”
“this is the dream, and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.”
“This is the dream. Now we will tell you the interpretation of it before the king.”
“This is the dream Daniel said. And we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.”
“This is the dream. Now we tell the interpretation of it before the king.”
“This is the dream. We will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.”
37You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength, and glory.
“You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength and glory.”
“Thou, O King, art a King of kings, for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.”
“Thou, O king, art a king of kings, for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.”
“O king, art a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory.”
“You O king, verse 37, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the glory.”
“Thou, O king, art a king of kings. For the God of heaven hath given me a kingdom, power and strength and glory.”
38Wherever the sons of men or beasts of the field or birds of the air dwell, He has given them into your hand and has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.
“wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.”
“And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field, the fowls of the heaven, hath he given into thine hand. And hath made thee ruler over them all. For thou art this head of gold.”
“And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven, hath he given unto thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.”
“and wherever the children of men dwell or the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven He has given them into your hand and has made you ruler over them all you are this head of gold.”
“And wherever the sons of men dwell or the beasts of the field or the birds of the sky. He has given them into your hand. Has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold.”
“And whatever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, he's given them into your hands and he's made you ruler over them all. You are this head of gold.”
39But after you, there will arise another kingdom, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule the whole earth.
“And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.”
“But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours. Then another a third kingdom of bronze which shall rule over all the earth”
“And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall there rule over all the earth.”
“But after you shall rise another kingdom, inferior to yours, than another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule all over the earth.”
40Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; for iron shatters and crushes all things, and like iron that crushes all things, it will shatter and crush all the others.
“And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces, and subdueth all things, and as iron that breaketh all these shall it break in pieces and bruise.”
“And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters all things, and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others.”
“and the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron as much as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything and Like iron that crushes that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others.”
“And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron. For as much as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things, and as iron that breaketh all these shall it break in pieces and bruise.”
“And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron for as much as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things. And as iron that breaketh all these shall it break in pieces and bruise.”
“The fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, for as much as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things, and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.”
41And just as you saw that the feet and toes were made partly of fired clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom, yet some of the strength of iron will be in it—just as you saw the iron mixed with clay.
