¹

King Nabuchodonosor to all nations, tribes, and tongues, who dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.

¹

Аꙁъ навходоносо'ръ ѓ^билђя бњхъ в домђ` свое^мъ, и^ бл~го цвᲇтыи на прsтлᲇ своеM.

²

It seemed good to me to declare to you the signs and wonders which the most high God has wrought with me,

²

Сонъ ви'дњхъ и^ ё^стра'ши м^я. и^ смято'хся на ло'жи моемъ, и^ видњ'нїя главы` мое^я смята'хђ м^я.

³

how great and mighty they are: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power to all generations.

³

и^ мно'ю ꙁаповњдася за'повњдь, привести` преD мя вся` мђжа мђдрыя вављ=лон#скы, да сказа'нїе сна` възвњтя'тъ мн^њ.

⁴

I Nabuchodonosor was thriving in my house, and prospering.

⁴

и^ въхожда'хђ ба'лїя, и^ вол#сви гаꙁарин#стїи, и^ халдњ'и, и^ со'нъ а^ꙁъ рњхъ преD ними. и^ скаꙁа'нїя е^го не възвњсти'ша м^и.

⁵

I saw a vision, and it terrified me, and I was troubled on my bed, and the visions of my head troubled me.

⁵

до'ндеже дрђгїи вни'де преD мя данїилъ, е^мђже и^мя валтасаръ, по и'мени б~а мое^го, и^же дх~ъ бж~їи ст~ъ и%мать в# себњ, и^ со'нъ преD нимъ рњхъ.

⁶

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

⁶

валтаса'ре кня'же ба'лїискь, е^гоже а^ꙁъ раꙁђмњхъ ја%ко дх~ъ бж~їи ст~ыи и%маши и^ вся` та'ина не эTнемо'жется тебњ. слы'ши видњ'нїе сна` мое^го и^же ви'дњхъ и^ скаꙁа'нїе е^го повњждᲆ мн^њ.

⁷

So the enchanters, magicians, soothsayers, and Chaldeans came in: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me the interpretation thereof;

⁷

и^ вњдњнїе главы` моея на ло'жи мое^мъ. зрњхъ, и^ с^е дђбъ средњ ꙁемля`, и^ высота` е^го

⁸

until Daniel came, whose name is Baltasar, according to the name of my God, who has within him the Holy Spirit of God; to whom I said,

⁸

възвеличися ѕњло, и^ досяза'ше до нб~се. и^ ко'ренїе е^го в# кон#цыX земля` всея`.

⁹

O Baltasar, chief of the enchanters, of whom I know that the Holy Spirit of God is in thee, and no mystery is too hard for thee, hear the vision of my dream which I had, and tell me the interpretation of it.

⁹

ли'ствїе е^го кра'сно, и^ плоD е^го мног#, и^ пи'ща всњхъ в неM. и^ под ни'мъ вселя'хђся вс^и ѕвњрїе ди'вїи, и^ въ вњтвехъ е^го живя'хђ вс^я пти'ца нбsныя, и^ эT него пита'шеся вс^я земля`.

¹⁰

I had a vision upon my bed; and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.

¹⁰

ви'дњхъ въ снњ` но'щїю на ло'жи мое^мъ. и^ с^е бᲆж#дрїи ст~ыи эT нб~се сни'де,

¹¹

The tree grew large and strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its extent to the extremity of the whole earth:

¹¹

и^ въз#гласи` крᲇп#цњ, и^ рече, посњцњте дђбъ, и^ ѓ^бїате вњ'я е^го. и^ ѓ^брђшите ли'сᲄвїе е^го, и^ расы'плете плоD е^го. да ся възы'блютъ звњрїе и^же под ни'мъ, и^ пти'ца сᲆ вњтвеи е^го.

¹²

its leaves were fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it was meat for all; and under it the wild beasts of the field took shelter, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches of it, and all flesh was fed of it.

¹²

то'чїю прониче'нїе ко'ренїя е^го въ ꙁемли` ѓ^ста'вите. и^ вᲆ ё'ꙁе желњꙁне и^ мњ'дьне и вᲆ ᲄравњ вн^њ, и^ ро'сњ нбsнњи вселиTся, и^ съ звњреM ди'вїиM ча'сть е^го. эT чл~къ и^змњниTся

¹³

I beheld in the night vision upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven, and cried aloud, and thus he said,

¹³

срDце е^го, и^ срDце звњрино даsся е^мђ. и^ седмь вре'менъ и^змњниTся ѓ^ неM.

¹⁴

Cut down the tree, and pluck off its branches, and shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the wild beasts be removed from under it, and the birds from its branches.

¹⁴

скаꙁа'нїемъ бъж#дре сло'во и^ гл~ъ ст~ъ въпро'съ. да ё^вњ'дятъ живђщеи ја%ко владе'тъ вы'шнїи цр~ьствомъ чл~чемъ, и^ е^мђже въсхо'щеT дастъ е&. и^ похђле'нїе чл~че въста'виT в не`.

¹⁵

Only leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and bind it with an iron and brass band; and it shall lie in the grass that is without and in the dew of heaven, and its portion shall be with the wild beasts in the grass of the field.

¹⁵

сїи со'нъ и^же ви'дњхъ а%ꙁъ навходоносо'ръ цр~ь. ты' же валтаса'ре скаꙁа'нїе е^го повњждь пре'ди. ја%ко вс^и мђдрїи црsтва мое^го не могђтъ сказа'нїя е^мђ и^сповњдати мн^њ. ты' же данїи'ле мо'жеши, ја%ко дх~ъ бж~їи ст~ъ в тебњ”

¹⁶

His heart shall be changed from that of man, and the heart of a wild beast shall be given to him; and seven times shall pass over him.

¹⁶

Тогда` данїилᲆ е^мђже и^мя валтаса'ръ, ё^жасе'ся а^ки е^ді'нъ ча'съ, и^ размышле'нїя еh смђщахђ е^го. и^ эTвњща` цр~ь, и^ ре'че валтасаре, со'нъ мои и^ сказа'нїе е^го да тебе не т#щитъ. и^ эTвњща` валтаса'ръ, и^ рече, гдsне, да бђдетъ со'н# сїи ненави'дящимᲆ т^я, и^ сказа'нїе е^го враго'мъ твои^мъ.

¹⁷

The matter is by the decree of the watcher, and the demand is a word of the holy ones; that the living may know that the Lord is most high over the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whomsoever he shall please, and will set up over it that which is set at nought of men.

¹⁷

дђбъ и^же ви'дњ възвели'чивыися и^ ё^крепњвыи, е^гоже высота` досяза'ше нб~се, и^ ко'ренїе е^го въ все'и ꙁемли`,

¹⁸

This is the vision which I king Nabuchodonosor saw: and do thou, Baltasar, declare the interpretation, for none of the wise men of my kingdom are able to shew me the interpretation of it: but thou, Daniel, art able; for the Holy Spirit of God is in thee.

¹⁸

и^ ли'ствїе е^го бл~го цвњтно, и^ пло'дъ е^го мноh, и^ пи'ща всњмъ в# немъ, под ни'мъ живя'хђ звњрїе ди'вїи, и^ въ вњтвеX е^го ё^гнњꙁдя'хђся пти'ца нбsныя.

¹⁹

Then Daniel, whose name is Baltasar, was amazed about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. And Baltasar answered and said, My lord, let the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation of it to thine enemies.

¹⁹

ты` е^си цр~ю, ја%ко възвели'чися и^ ё^крепњ. и^ вели'чество твое възвели'чися и^ досяже нб~се, и^ вла'сть твоя до конець ꙁе'мльныX.

²⁰

The tree which thou sawest, that grew large and strong, whose height reached to the sky and its extent to all the earth;

²⁰

и^ ја%ко ви'дњ цр~ь а^гг~ла, и^ ст~аго сходя'ща съ нб~се, и^ рече, посњцњте дbђ, и^ расы'плеᲄе и& то'чїю прониче'нїе ко'ренїя е^го в ꙁеMли` ѓ^ста'вите, и^ въ ё'ꙁњ желњꙁнњ и^ мњдянњ, и^ въ зла'це внњ` и^ въ росњ нбsнеи въдво'рится, съ звњремъ ди'вїимъ ча'сть е^го. до'ндеже седмь вре'менъ премњни'тся ѓ^ немъ”

²¹

and whose leaves were flourishing, and its fruit abundant, (and it was meat for all; under it the wild beasts lodged, and the birds of the sky took shelter in its branches:)

²¹

Се' же сказа'нїе е^го цр~ю. и^ сказа'нїе вы'шняго с^е е^сть, е^же приспњ` на господи'на мое^го цр~я.

²²

is thyself, O king; for thou art grown great and powerful, and thy greatness has increased and reached to heaven, and thy dominion to the ends of the earth.

²²

и^ж#денђтъ т^я эT чл~кь, и^ съ дивїимъ звњремъ бђдетъ житїе твое`. и^ траво'ю а^ки вола` напита'ютъ т^я, и^ эT росы` небнsыя тњло твое ѓ^брастетъ. и^ се'д#мь временъ и^ꙁмњни'тся ѓ^ тебњ, до'ндеже ё^вњси ја^ко съвладе'тъ вы'шнїи црsтвомъ чл~чемъ, и^ е^мђже въсхо'щетъ дасть е&”

²³

And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and he said, Strip the tree, and destroy it; only leave the stump of its roots in the ground, and bind it with a band of iron and brass; and it shall lie in the grass that is without, and in the dew of heaven, and its portion shall be with wild beasts, until seven times have passed over it;

²³

и^ е'же рече, ѓ^ста'вите проникнове'нїе ко'ренїя дђба въ ꙁемли`. црsтво твое тебњ` бђдетъ, эTнележе ё^вњси вла'сть нбsнђю.

²⁴

this is the interpretation of it, O king, and it is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king.

²⁴

сего ради цр~ю совњтъ мо'и да ти бђдетъ ё^го'денъ, и^ грњхи` своя млsтьми расы'пли, и^ непра'вды твоя щедрота'ми ё^богихᲆ, негли бђдетъ въздержа` ја%рость грњхомъ твои^мъ б~ъ”

²⁵

And they shall drive thee forth from men, and thy dwelling shall be with wild beasts, and they shall feed thee with grass as an ox, and thou shalt have thy lodging under the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and will give it to whom he shall please.

²⁵

се^ все` пости'же навходоносо'ра цр~я.

²⁶

And whereas they said, Leave the stumps of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom abides sure to thee from the time that thou shalt know the power of the heavens.

²⁶

по дво'ю же надесяте мsцђ црsтва е^го, въ вављ=ло'нњ б^њ ходя`, и^ на ꙁабра'лњхъ гра'да съ всею сла'вою е^го, и^ на сњнехъ е^го хожда'ше

²⁷

Therefore, O king, let my counsel please thee, and atone for thy sins by alms, and thine iniquities by compassion on the poor: it may be God will be long-suffering to thy trespasses.

²⁷

И$ эTвњща` цр~ь, и^ рече, нњсть ли с^е вављ=лонъ вели'кая ю%же а^ꙁъ съградиX домђ црsтвђ въ дръжа'ве крњпости моея, въ че'сть сла'вы моея.

²⁸

All these things came upon king Nabuchodonosor.

²⁸

е^ще б^о сло'вђ сђщђ въ ё^стњхъ цр~ихᲆ. глsа съ нб~се бысть, црsтво твое преи^де эT тебе`,

²⁹

After a twelvemonth, as he walked in his palace in Babylon,

²⁹

и^ эT чл~къ эTженђтъ т^я, и^ съ звњремъ ди'вїимъ жи'тїе твое. и^ траво'ю а^ки вола` напитаюT т^я. и^ седмь вре'менъ и^змњниTся ѓ^ тебᲇ, дондеже ё^вњси ја%ко съвладњетъ вы'шнїи црsтвомъ чл~чемъ, и^ е^мђже въсхо'щетъ дасть е&”

³⁰

the king answered and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for a royal residence, by the might of my power, for the honour of my glory?

³⁰

В то'и ча'съ сло'во сконча'ся на цр~и навходоносо'рњ. и^ эT чл~кь эTгна'ся, и^ травђ а^ки волᲆ ја^дя'ше, и^ эT росы` нбsныя тњло е^го ѓ^брасте`, дон#деже вла'си е^мђ ја%ко львђ` възвелича'ша, и^ но'гте е^мђ а^ки пти'цамъ”

³¹

While the word was yet in the king's mouth, there came a voice from heaven, saying, To thee, king Nabuchodonosor, they say, The kingdom has departed from thee.

³¹

И$ по сконча'нїи тXњ дн~їи. а^зъ нав#ходоносо'рᲆ ѓ%чи свои` на' нб~о въздви'гъ, и^ ё'мъ мои къ мнњ ся възврати`. вышняго блsвиX и^ живђщаго въ вњки похвали'хъ. ја%ко власть е^го, вла'сть вњ'чна, и^ црsтво е^го в ро'ды и^ ро'ды.

³²

And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the wild beasts of the field, and they shall feed thee with grass as an ox: and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whomsoever he shall please.

³²

и^ вс^и живђщеи на ꙁемли` нивочто'же намњни'шася. по во'ли свое'и тво'ритъ в# си'лњ нбsнњи, и^ в селе'нїи ꙁемльнMњ. и^ нњсть и^же ся проти'витъ рђцњ е^го, и^ речетъ е^мђ, чт^о сътвори`.

³³

In the same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor: and he was driven forth from men, and he ate grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, until his hairs were grown like lions' hairs, and his nails as birds' claws.

³³

в# то время ё'мъ мой възврати'ся къ мн^њ, и^ в че'сть црsтва свое^го прїидохъ. и^ ѓ'зречь моя възвратися къ мн^њ. и^ мђчи'теле мои`, и^ вельмо'жа моя и^ска'хђ мене. и^ въ црsтвᲇ свое^мъ ё^тверди'хся, и^ вели'чество и^зᲆѓ^би'лнње приложи' ми ся”

³⁴

And at the end of the time I Nabuchodonosor lifted up mine eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised him that lives for ever, and gave him glory; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom lasts to all generations:

³⁴

Нн~њ ё^бо а^ꙁъ навходоносо'ръ, хвалю` и^ превозноша'ю, и^ сла'влю цр~я нбsнаго. ја%ко вся` дњла е^го и'стин#на, и^ пђтїе е^го сђ'ди. и^ вс^я ходя'щая съ презрњнїемъ мо'жетъ смири'ти”

³⁵

and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none who shall withstand his power, and say to him, What hast thou done?

³⁶

At the same time my reason returned to me, and I came to the honour of my kingdom; and my natural form returned to me, and my princes, and my nobles, sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and more abundant majesty was added to me.

³⁷

Now therefore I Nabuchodonosor praise and greatly exalt and glorify the King of heaven; for all his works are true, and his paths are judgment: and all that walk in pride he is able to abase.
