1In the second year (604 b.c.) of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams which troubled and disturbed his spirit and his ability to sleep.
MSG
1In the second year of his reign, King Nebuchadnezzar started having dreams that disturbed him deeply. He couldn't sleep.
AMP
2Then the king gave a command to call the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
MSG
2He called in all the Babylonian magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and fortunetellers to interpret his dreams for him. When they came and lined up before the king,
AMP
3The king said to them, "I had a dream, and my spirit is troubled and anxious to know the dream."
MSG
3he said to them, "I had a dream that I can't get out of my mind. I can't sleep until I know what it means."
AMP
4Then the Chaldeans said to the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell the dream to your servants, and we will declare the interpretation."
MSG
4The fortunetellers, speaking in the Aramaic language, said, "Long live the king! Tell us the dream and we will interpret it."
AMP
5The king replied to the Chaldeans, "My command is firm and unchangeable: if you do not reveal to me the dream along with its interpretation, you shall be cut into pieces and your houses shall be made a heap of rubbish.
MSG
5The king answered the fortunetellers, "This is my decree: If you can't tell me both the dream itself and its interpretation, I'll have you ripped to pieces, limb from limb, and your homes torn down.
AMP
6"But if you tell the dream along with its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. So tell me the dream and its interpretation."
MSG
6But if you tell me both the dream and its interpretation, I'll lavish you with gifts and honors. So go to it: Tell me the dream and its interpretation."
AMP
7They answered again, "Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will explain its interpretation ."
MSG
7They answered, "If it please your majesty, tell us the dream. We'll give the interpretation."
AMP
8The king replied, "I know for certain that you are bargaining for time, because you have seen that my command is firm and irrevocable.
MSG
8But the king said, "I know what you're up to—you're just playing for time. You know you're up a tree.
AMP
9If you will not reveal to me the dream, there is but one sentence for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me until the situation is changed. Therefore, tell me the dream , and then I will know that you can give me its interpretation."
MSG
9You know that if you can't tell me my dream, you're doomed. I see right through you—you're going to cook up some fancy stories and confuse the issue until I change my mind. Nothing doing! First tell me the dream, then I'll know that you're on the up and up with the interpretation and not just blowing smoke in my eyes."
AMP
10The Chaldeans answered the king and said, "There is not a man on earth who can tell the king this matter, for no king, lord or ruler has ever asked such a thing as this of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean.
MSG
10The fortunetellers said, "Nobody anywhere can do what you ask. And no king, great or small, has ever demanded anything like this from any magician, enchanter, or fortuneteller.
AMP
11Furthermore, what the king demands is an unusual and difficult thing indeed! No one except the gods can reveal it to the king, and their dwelling is not with flesh."
MSG
11What you're asking is impossible unless some god or goddess should reveal it—and they don't hang around with people like us."
AMP
12Because of this the king was indignant and extremely furious and gave a command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
MSG
12That set the king off. He lost his temper and ordered the whole company of Babylonian wise men killed.
AMP
13So the decree went out that the wise men were to be killed; and they looked for Daniel and his companions to put them to death.
MSG
13When the death warrant was issued, Daniel and his companions were included. They also were marked for execution.
AMP
14Then Daniel replied with discretion and wisdom to Arioch, the captain of the king's bodyguard, who had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon;
MSG
14When Arioch, chief of the royal guards, was making arrangements for the execution, Daniel wisely took him aside
AMP
15he said to Arioch, the king's captain, "Why is the decree from the king so harsh and urgent?" Then Arioch explained the matter to Daniel.
MSG
15and quietly asked what was going on: "Why this all of a sudden?"After Arioch filled in the background,
AMP
16So Daniel went in and asked the king to appoint a date and give him time, so that he might reveal to the king the interpretation of the dream.
MSG
16Daniel went to the king and asked for a little time so that he could interpret the dream.
AMP
17Then Daniel returned to his house and discussed the matter with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
MSG
17Daniel then went home and told his companions Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah what was going on.
AMP
18in order that they might seek compassion from the God of heaven regarding this secret, so that Daniel and his companions would not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
MSG
18He asked them to pray to the God of heaven for mercy in solving this mystery so that the four of them wouldn't be killed along with the whole company of Babylonian wise men.
AMP
19Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night, and Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
MSG
19That night the answer to the mystery was given to Daniel in a vision. Daniel blessed the God of heaven,
AMP
20Daniel answered, "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and power belong to Him.
MSG
20saying,"Blessed be the name of God,forever and ever.He knows all, does all:
AMP
21"It is He who changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and establishes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding!
MSG
21He changes the seasons and guides history,He raises up kings and also brings them down,he provides both intelligence and discernment,
AMP
22"It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him.
MSG
22He opens up the depths, tells secrets,sees in the dark—light spills out of him!
AMP
23"I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers, For You have given me wisdom and power; Even now You have made known to me what we requested of You, For You have made known to us the king's matter."
MSG
23God of all my ancestors, all thanks! all praise!You made me wise and strong.And now you've shown us what we asked for.You've solved the king's mystery."
AMP
24So Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said this to him: "Do not execute the wise men of Babylon! Bring me before the king, and I will reveal to the king the interpretation ."
MSG
24So Daniel went back to Arioch, who had been put in charge of the execution. He said, "Call off the execution! Take me to the king and I'll interpret his dream."
AMP
25Then Arioch hurriedly brought Daniel before the king and said this to him: "I have found a man among the exiles of Judah who can explain to the king the interpretation ."
MSG
25Arioch didn't lose a minute. He ran to the king, bringing Daniel with him, and said, "I've found a man from the exiles of Judah who can interpret the king's dream!"
AMP
26The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to reveal to me the dream which I have seen and its interpretation?"
MSG
26The king asked Daniel (renamed in Babylonian, Belteshazzar), "Are you sure you can do this—tell me the dream I had and interpret it for me?"
AMP
27Daniel answered the king and said, "Regarding the mystery about which the king has inquired, neither the wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor astrologers are able to answer the king,
MSG
27Daniel answered the king, "No mere human can solve the king's mystery, I don't care who it is—no wise man, enchanter, magician, diviner.
AMP
28but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the latter days (end of days). This was your dream and the vision in your mind while on your bed.
MSG
28But there is a God in heaven who solves mysteries, and he has solved this one. He is letting King Nebuchadnezzar in on what is going to happen in the days ahead. This is the dream you had when you were lying on your bed, the vision that filled your mind:
AMP
29"As for you, O king, as you were lying on your bed thoughts came into your mind about what will take place in the future; and He who reveals secrets has shown you what will occur.
MSG
29"While you were stretched out on your bed, O king, thoughts came to you regarding what is coming in the days ahead. The Revealer of Mysteries showed you what will happen.
AMP
30But as for me, this secret has not been revealed to me because my wisdom is greater than that of any other living man, but in order to make the interpretation known to the king, and so that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.
MSG
30But the interpretation is given through me, not because I'm any smarter than anyone else in the country, but so that you will know what it means, so that you will understand what you dreamed.
AMP
31"You, O king, were looking, and behold, a single great statue; this image, which was large and of unsurpassed splendor, stood before you, and its appearance was awesome and terrifying.
MSG
31"What you saw, O king, was a huge statue standing before you, striking in appearance. And terrifying.
AMP
32As for this statue, its head was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
MSG
32The head of the statue was pure gold, the chest and arms were silver, the belly and hips were bronze,
AMP
33its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay .
MSG
33the legs were iron, and the feet were an iron-ceramic mixture.
AMP
34As you were looking, a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.
MSG
34While you were looking at this statue, a stone cut out of a mountain by an invisible hand hit the statue, smashing its iron-ceramic feet.
AMP
35Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together and became like the chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them could be found. And the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
MSG
35Then the whole thing fell to pieces—iron, tile, bronze, silver, and gold, smashed to bits. It was like scraps of old newspapers in a vacant lot in a hot dry summer, blown every which way by the wind, scattered to oblivion. But the stone that hit the statue became a huge mountain, dominating the horizon.
AMP
36"This was the dream; now we will tell the king its interpretation.
MSG
36This was your dream."And now we'll interpret it for the king.
AMP
37You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength and the glory;
MSG
37You, O king, are the most powerful king on earth. The God of heaven has given you the works: rule, power, strength, and glory.
AMP
38and wherever the sons of men dwell, and the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, He has given them into your hand and has made you ruler over them all. You are the head of gold.
MSG
38He has put you in charge of men and women, wild animals and birds, all over the world—you're the head ruler, you are the head of gold.
AMP
39After you will arise another kingdom (Medo-Persia) inferior to you, and then a third kingdom of bronze (Greece under Alexander the Great), which will rule over all the earth.
MSG
39But your rule will be taken over by another kingdom, inferior to yours, and that one by a third, a bronze kingdom, but still ruling the whole land,
AMP
40Then a fourth kingdom (Rome) will be strong as iron, for iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things; and like iron which crushes things in pieces, it will break and crush all these .
MSG
40and after that by a fourth kingdom, iron-like in strength. Just as iron smashes things to bits, breaking and pulverizing, it will bust up the previous kingdoms.
AMP
41And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but there will be in it some of the durability and strength of iron, just as you saw the iron mixed with common clay.
MSG
41"But then the feet and toes that ended up as a mixture of ceramic and iron will deteriorate into a mongrel kingdom with some remains of iron in it. Just as the toes of the feet were part ceramic and part iron,
AMP
42As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so some of the kingdom will be strong, and another part of it will be brittle.
MSG
42it will end up a mixed bag of the breakable and unbreakable.
AMP
43And as you saw the iron mixed with common clay, so they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not merge , even as iron does not mix with clay.
MSG
43That kingdom won't bond, won't hold together any more than iron and clay hold together.
AMP
44In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left for another people; but it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.
MSG
44"But throughout the history of these kingdoms, the God of heaven will be building a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will this kingdom ever fall under the domination of another. In the end it will crush the other kingdoms and finish them off and come through it all standing strong and eternal.
AMP
45Just as you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, the great God has revealed to the king what will take place in the future; so the dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy."
MSG
45It will be like the stone cut from the mountain by the invisible hand that crushed the iron, the bronze, the ceramic, the silver, and the gold."The great God has let the king know what will happen in the years to come. This is an accurate telling of the dream, and the interpretation is also accurate."
AMP
46Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell face downward and paid respect to Daniel , and gave orders for an offering and fragrant incense to be presented to him .
MSG
46When Daniel finished, King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face in awe before Daniel. He ordered the offering of sacrifices and burning of incense in Daniel's honor.
AMP
47The king answered Daniel and said, "Most certainly your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, since you have been able to reveal this mystery!"
MSG
47He said to Daniel, "Your God is beyond question the God of all gods, the Master of all kings. And he solves all mysteries, I know, because you've solved this mystery."
AMP
48Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts, and he made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.
MSG
48Then the king promoted Daniel to a high position in the kingdom, lavished him with gifts, and made him governor over the entire province of Babylon and the chief in charge of all the Babylonian wise men.
AMP
49And Daniel made a request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon, while Daniel was at the court of the king.
MSG
49At Daniel's request the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to administrative posts throughout Babylon, while Daniel governed from the royal headquarters.
