Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 2:1 ¶ In the second year of [his] reign Nebuchadnezzar{gr.Nabuchodonosor} dreamed a dream, and his spirit was amazed, and his sleep departed from him.

 2:1 ¶ And in the second° year° of the reign° of Nebuchadnezzar° Nebuchadnezzar° dreamed°° dreams,° wherewith his spirit° was troubled,°° and his sleep° brake°° from° him.

 2:2 And the king gave orders to call the enchanters, and the magicians, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they came and stood before the king.

 2:2 Then the king° commanded°° to call°° the magicians,° and the astrologers,° and the sorcerers,°° and the Chaldeans,° for to shew°° the king° his dreams.° So they came°° and stood°° before° the king.°

 2:3 And the king said to them, I have dreamed, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.

 2:3 And the king° said°° unto them, I have dreamed°° a dream,° and my spirit° was troubled°° to know°°° the dream.°

 2:4 And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, [saying], O king, live for ever: do thou tell the dream to thy servants, and we will declare the interpretation.

 2:4 Then spake°° the Chaldeans° to the king° in Syriack,° O king,° live°° for ever:° tell°° thy servants° the dream,° and we will shew°° the interpretation.°

 2:5 The king answered the Chaldeans, The thing has departed from me: if ye do not make known to me the dream and the interpretation, ye shall be destroyed, and your houses shall be spoiled.

 2:5 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.°

 2:6 But if ye make known to me the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and presents and much honour: only tell me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

 2:6 But if° ye shew°° the dream,° and the interpretation° thereof, ye shall receive°° of°° me° gifts° and rewards° and great° honour:° therefore° shew°° me the dream,° and the interpretation° thereof.

 2:7 They answered the second time, and said, Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will declare the interpretation.

 2:7 They answered°° again° and said,°° Let the king° tell°° his servants° the dream,° and we will shew°° the interpretation° of it.

 2:8 And the king answered and said, I verily know that ye are trying to gain time, because ye see that the thing has gone from me.

 2:8 The king° answered°° and said,°° I° know°° of° certainty° that° ye° would gain°° the time,° because°°° ye see°°° the thing° is gone°° from° me.

 2:9 If then ye do not tell me the dream, I know that ye have concerted to utter before me a false and corrupt tale, until the time shall have past: tell me my dream, and I shall know that ye will also declare to me the interpretation thereof.

 2:9 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 shew°° me the interpretation° thereof.

 2:10 ¶ The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is no man upon the earth, who shall be able to make known the king's matter: forasmuch as no great king or ruler asks such a question of an enchanter, magician, or Chaldean.

 2:10 ¶ The Chaldeans° answered°° before° the king,° and said,°° There is° not° a man° upon° the earth° that° can°° shew°° the king's° matter:° therefore°°° [there is] no°° king,° lord,° nor ruler,° [that] asked°° such° things°° at any° magician,° or astrologer,° or Chaldean.°

 2:11 For the question which the king asks is difficult, and there is no one else who shall answer it before the king, but the gods, whose dwelling is not with any flesh.

 2:11 And [it is] a rare° thing° that° the king° requireth,°° and there is° none° other° that° can shew°° it before° the king,° except° the elahin,° whose° dwelling° is° not° with° flesh.°

 2:12 Then the king in rage and anger commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

 2:12 For° this° cause°°° the king° was angry°° and very° furious,°° and commanded°° to destroy°° all° the wise° [men] of Babylon.°

 2:13 So the decree went forth, and they began to slay the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to slay [them].

 2:13 And the decree° went forth°° that the wise° [men] should be slain;°° and they sought°° Daniel° and his fellows° to be slain.°°

 2:14 ¶ Then Daniel answered [with] counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the royal guard, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon; [saying],

 2:14 ¶ Then° Daniel° answered°° with counsel° and wisdom° to Arioch° the captain° of° the king's° guard,° which° was gone forth°° to slay°° the wise° [men] of Babylon:°

 2:15 Chief magistrate of the king, wherefore has the preemptory command proceeded from the king? So Arioch made known the matter to Daniel.

 2:15 He answered°° and said°° to Arioch° the king's°° captain,° Why°° [is] the decree° [so] hasty°° from°° the king?° Then° Arioch° made the thing° known°°° to Daniel.°

 2:16 And Daniel intreated the king to give him time, and that he might [thus] declare to the king the interpretation of it.

 2:16 Then Daniel° went in,°° and desired°° of° the king° that° he would give°° him time,° and that he would shew°° the king° the interpretation.°

 2:17 So Daniel went into his house, and made known the matter to Hananiah{gr.Ananias}, and Mishael{gr.Misael}, and Azariah{gr.Azarias}, his friends.

 2:17 Then° Daniel° went°° to his house,° and made the thing° known°°° to Hananiah,° Mishael,° and Azariah,° his companions:°

 2:18 And they sought mercies from the God of heaven concerning this mystery; that Daniel and his friends might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

 2:18 That they would desire°° mercies° of°° the Elah° of heaven° concerning° this° secret;° that° Daniel° and his fellows° should not° perish°° with° the rest° of the wise° [men] of Babylon.°

 2:19 ¶ Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night; and Daniel blessed the God of heaven, and said,

 2:19 ¶ Then° was the secret° revealed°° unto Daniel° in a night°° vision.° Then° Daniel° blessed°° the Elah° of heaven.°

 2:20 May the name of God be blessed from everlasting and to everlasting: for wisdom and understanding are his.

 2:20 Daniel° answered°° and said,°° Blessed°° be°° the name° of° Elah° for° ever° and ever:°°° for° wisdom° and might° are° his:

 2:21 And he changes times and seasons: he appoints kings, and removes [them], giving wisdom to the wise, and prudence to them that have understanding:

 2:21 And he° changeth°° the times° and the seasons:° he removeth°° kings,° and setteth up°° kings:° he giveth°° wisdom° unto the wise,° and knowledge° to them that know°° understanding:°

 2:22 he reveals deep and secret [matters]; knowing what is in darkness, and the light is with him.

 2:22 He° revealeth°° the deep° and secret things:°° he knoweth°° what° [is] in the darkness,° and the light° dwelleth°° with° him.°

 2:23 I give thanks to thee, and praise [thee], O God of my fathers, for thou has given me wisdom and power, and has made known to me the things which we asked of thee; and thou has made known to me the king's vision.

 2:23 I° thank°° thee, and praise°° thee, O thou Elah° 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.°

 2:24 ¶ And Daniel came to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon, but bring me in before the king, and I will declare the interpretation to the king.

 2:24 ¶ Therefore°°° Daniel° went in°° unto° Arioch,° 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 shew°° unto the king° the interpretation.°

 2:25 Then Arioch in haste brought in Daniel before the king, and said to him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah{gr.Judea}, who will declare the interpretation to the king.

 2:25 Then° Arioch° 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.°

 2:26 And the king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar{gr.Baltasar}, Canst thou declare to me the dream which I saw, and the interpretation thereof?

 2:26 The king° answered°° and said°° to Daniel,° whose° name° [was] Belteshazzar,° Art° thou able°° to make known°° unto me the dream° which° I have seen,°° and the interpretation° thereof?

 2:27 And Daniel answered before the king, and said, The mystery which the king asks [the explanation of] is not [in the power] of the wise men, magicians, enchanters, [or] soothsayers to declare to the king.

 2:27 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,°° shew°° unto the king;°

 2:28 But there is a God in heaven revealing mysteries, and he has made known to king Nebuchadnezzar{gr.Nabuchodonosor} what things must come to pass in the last days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are as follows,

 2:28 But° there is° an Elah° in heaven° that revealeth°° secrets,° and maketh known°° to the king° Nebuchadnezzar° what°° shall be°° in the latter° days.° Thy dream,° and the visions° of thy head° upon° thy bed,° are these;°

 2:29 O king: thy thoughts upon thy bed arose [as to] what must come to pass hereafter: and he that reveals mysteries has made known to thee what must come to pass.

 2:29 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.°°

 2:30 Moreover, this mystery has not been revealed to me by reason of wisdom which is in me beyond all [others] living, but for the sake of making known the interpretation to the king, that thou mightest know the thoughts of thine heart.

 2:30 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.°

 2:31 ¶ Thou, O king, sawest, and behold an image: that image was great, and the appearance of it excellent, standing before thy face; and the form of it was terrible.

 2:31 ¶ Thou,° O king,° sawest,°°°° and behold° a° great°° image.° This° great° image,° whose brightness° [was] excellent,° stood°° before° thee; and the form° thereof [was] terrible.°°

 2:32 [It was] an image, the head of which was of fine gold, its hands and breast and arms of silver, [its] belly and thighs of brass,

 2:32 This° image's° head° [was] of° fine° gold,° his breast° and his arms° of° silver,° his belly° and his thighs° of° brass,°

 2:33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of iron and part of earthenware.

 2:33 His legs° of° iron,° his feet° part° of° iron° and part° of° clay.°

 2:34 Thou sawest until a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it smote the image upon its feet of iron and earthenware, and utterly reduced them to powder.

 2:34 Thou sawest°°°° till° that° a stone° was cut out°° without°° hands,° which smote°° the image° upon° his feet° [that were] of° iron° and clay,° and brake°° them° to pieces.°°°

 2:35 Then once for all the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold, were ground to powder, and became as chaff from the summer threshingfloor; and the violence of the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them: and the stone which had smitten the image became a great mountain, and filled all the earth.

 2:35 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° threshingfloors;° and the wind° carried°° them° away,°°° that° no°° place° was found°° for them: and the stone° that° smote°° the image° became°° a great° mountain,° and filled°° the whole° earth.°

 2:36 ¶ This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

 2:36 ¶ This° [is] the dream;° and we will tell°° the interpretation° thereof before° the king.°

 2:37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given a powerful and strong and honourable kingdom,

 2:37 Thou,° O king,° [art] a king° of kings:° for° the Elah° of heaven° hath given°° thee a kingdom,° power,° and strength,° and glory.°

 2:38 in every place where the children of men dwell: and he has given into thine hand the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, and he has made thee lord of all.

 2:38 And 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.°

 2:39 Thou art the head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, an a third kingdom which is the brass, which shall have dominion over all the earth;

 2:39 And after° thee shall arise°° another° kingdom° inferior° to° thee,° and another° third° kingdom° of° brass,° which° shall bear rule°° over all° the earth.°

 2:40 and a fourth kingdom, which shall be strong as iron: as iron beats to powder and subdues all things, so shall it beat to powder and subdue.

 2:40 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.°°

 2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and the toes, part of earthenware and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet there shall be in it of the strength of iron, as thou sawest the iron mixed with earthenware.

 2:41 And whereas° thou sawest°° the feet° and toes,° part° of° potters'° clay,° and part° of iron,° the kingdom° shall be°° divided;°° but°° there shall be°° in it of° the strength° of° the iron,° forasmuch as°°° thou sawest°° the iron° mixed°° with miry° clay.°

 2:42 And [whereas] the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of earthenware, part of the kingdom shall be strong, and [part] of it shall be broken.

 2:42 And [as] the toes° of the feet° [were] part° of iron,° and part° of clay,° [so] the kingdom° shall be°° partly°° strong,° and partly°° broken.°°

 2:43 Whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with earthenware, they shall be mingled with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave together, as the iron does not mix itself with earthenware.

 2:43 And whereas° thou sawest°° iron° mixed°° with miry° clay,° they shall° mingle themselves°°°° with the seed° of men:° but they shall°° not° cleave°° one° to° another,° even° as°° iron° is not° mixed°° with° clay.°

 2:44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and his kingdom shall not be left to another people, [but] it shall beat to pieces and grind to powder all [other] kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

 2:44 And in the days° of° these° kings° shall the Elah° of heaven° set up°° a kingdom,° which° shall never°° be destroyed:°° and the kingdom° shall not° be left°° to other° people,° [but] it shall break in pieces°° and consume°° all° these° kingdoms,° and it° shall stand°° for ever.°

 2:45 Whereas thou sawest that a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it beat to pieces the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold; the great God has made known to the king what must happen hereafter: and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof sure.

 2:45 Forasmuch as°°° thou sawest°° that° the stone° was cut out°° of the mountain°° without°° hands,° and that it brake in pieces°° the iron,° the brass,° the clay,° the silver,° and the gold;° the great° Elah° hath made known°° to the king° what°° shall come to pass°° hereafter:°° and the dream° [is] certain,° and the interpretation° thereof sure.°°

 2:46 ¶ Then king Nebuchadnezzar{gr.Nabuchodonosor} fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and gave orders to offer to him gifts and incense.

 2:46 ¶ Then° the king° Nebuchadnezzar° fell°° upon° his face,° and worshipped°° Daniel,° and commanded°° that they should offer°° an oblation°° and sweet odours° unto him.

 2:47 And the king answered and said to Daniel, Of a truth your God is a God of gods, and Lord of kings, who reveals mysteries; for thou has been able to reveal this mystery.

 2:47 The king° answered°° unto Daniel,° and said,°° Of° a truth° [it is], that° your Elah° [is] an Elah° of elahin,° and a Lord° of kings,° and a revealer°° of secrets,° seeing° thou couldest°° reveal°° this° secret.°

 2:48 And the king promoted Daniel, and gave him great and abundant gifts, and set him over the whole province of Babylon, and [made him] chief satrap over all the wise men of Babylon.

 2:48 Then° the king° made°° Daniel° a great man,°°° and gave°° him many° great° gifts,° and made him ruler°° over° the whole° province° of Babylon,° and chief° of the governors° over° all° the wise° [men] of Babylon.°

 2:49 And Daniel asked of the king, and he appointed Shadrach{gr.Sedrach}, Meshach{gr.Misach}, and Abednego{gr.Abdenago}, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the king's palace.

 2:49 Then Daniel° requested°° of° the king,° and he set°° Shadrach,° Meshach,° and Abednego,° over° the affairs° of° the province° of Babylon:° but Daniel° [sat] in the gate° of the king.°
