Daniel 2:1-12

2:1

And in the second
<08147>

year
<08141>

of the reign
<04438>

of Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

dreamed
<02492> (8804)

dreams
<02472>_,

wherewith his spirit
<07307>

was troubled
<06470> (8691)_,

and his sleep
<08142>

brake
<01961> (8738)

from him.

2:2

Then the king
<04428>

commanded
<0559> (8799)

to call
<07121> (8800)

the magicians
<02748>_,

and the astrologers
<0825>_,

and the sorcerers
<03784> (8764)_,

and the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

for to shew
<05046> (8687)

the king
<04428>

his dreams
<02472>_.

So they came
<0935> (8799)

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

2:3

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)

a dream
<02472>_,

and my spirit
<07307>

was troubled
<06470> (8735)

to know
<03045> (8800)

the dream
<02472>_.

2:4

Then spake
<01696> (8762)

the Chaldeans
<03778>

to the king
<04428>

in Syriack
<0762>_,

O king
<04430>_,

live
<02418> (8747)

for ever
<05957>_:

tell
<0560> (8747)

thy servants
<05649>

the dream
<02493>_,

and we will shew
<02324> (8741)

the interpretation
<06591>_.

{O king...: (Chaldee, to the end of chapter seven)}

2:5

The king
<04430>

answered
<06032> (8750)

and said
<0560> (8750)

to the Chaldeans
<03779>_,

The thing
<04406>

is gone
<0230> (8754)

from me
<04481>_:

if
<02006>

ye will not
<03809>

make known
<03046> (8681)

unto me the dream
<02493>_,

with the interpretation
<06591>

thereof, ye shall be cut
<05648> (8725)

in pieces
<01917>_,

and your houses
<01005>

shall be made
<07761> (8725)

a dunghill
<05122>_.

{cut...: Chaldee, made pieces}

2:6

But if
<02006>

ye shew
<02324> (8681)

the dream
<02493>_,

and the interpretation
<06591>

thereof, ye shall receive
<06902> (8741)

of
<04481>

me
<06925>

gifts
<04978>

and rewards
<05023>

and great
<07690>

honour
<03367>_:

therefore
<03861>

shew
<02324> (8680)

me the dream
<02493>_,

and the interpretation
<06591>

thereof. {rewards: or, fee}

2:7

They answered
<06032> (8754)

again
<08579>

and said
<0560> (8750)_,

Let the king
<04430>

tell
<0560> (8748)

his servants
<05649>

the dream
<02493>_,

and we will shew
<02324> (8681)

the interpretation
<06591>

of it.

2:8

The king
<04430>

answered
<06032> (8750)

and said
<0560> (8750)_,

I
<0576>

know
<03046> (8751)

of
<04481>

certainty
<03330>

that ye
<0608>

would gain
<02084> (8750)

the time
<05732>_,

because
<06903> <03606>

ye see
<02370> (8754)

the thing
<04406>

is gone
<0230> (8754)

from
<04481>

me. {gain: Chaldee, buy}

2:9

But if
<02006>

ye will not
<03809>

make known
<03046> (8681)

unto me the dream
<02493>_,

[there is but] one
<01932> <02298>

decree
<01882>

for you: for ye have prepared
<02164> (8724)

lying
<03538>

and corrupt
<07844> (8752)

words
<04406>

to speak
<0560> (8749)

before
<06925>

me, till
<05705>

the time
<05732>

be changed
<08133> (8721)_:

therefore
<03861>

tell
<0560> (8747)

me the dream
<02493>_,

and I shall know
<03046> (8748)

that
<01768>

ye can shew
<02324> (8681)

me the interpretation
<06591>

thereof.

2:10

The Chaldeans
<03779>

answered
<06032> (8754)

before
<06925>

the king
<04430>_,

and said
<0560> (8750)_,

There is
<0383>

not
<03809>

a man
<0606>

upon
<05922>

the earth
<03007>

that can
<03202> (8748)

shew
<02324> (8682)

the king's
<04430>

matter
<04406>_:

therefore
<06903> <01768>

[there is] no
<03809>

king
<04430>_,

lord
<07229>_,

nor ruler
<07990>_,

[that] asked
<07593> (8754)

such
<01836>

things
<04406>

at any
<03606>

magician
<02749>_,

or astrologer
<0826>_,

or Chaldean
<03779>_.

2:11

And [it is] a rare
<03358>

thing
<04406>

that the king
<04430>

requireth
<07593> (8751)_,

and there is
<0383>

none
<03809>

other
<0321>

that can shew
<02324> (8741)

it before
<06925>

the king
<04430>_,

except
<03861>

the gods
<0426>_,

whose dwelling
<04070>

is
<0383>

not
<03809>

with
<05974>

flesh
<01321>_.

2:12

For
<06903>

this
<01836>

cause
<03606>

the king
<04430>

was angry
<01149> (8754)

and very
<07690>

furious
<07108> (8754)_,

and commanded
<0560> (8754)

to destroy
<07> (8682)

all
<03606>

the wise
<02445>

[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
