The King Acknowledges God
1Dari raja Nebukadnezar kepada orang-orang dari segala bangsa, suku bangsa dan bahasa, yang diam di seluruh bumi: "Bertambah-tambahlah kiranya kesejahteraanmu ! 2Aku berkenan memaklumkan tanda-tanda dan mujizat-mujizat yang telah dilakukan Allah yang maha tinggi kepadaku. 3Betapa besarnya tanda-tanda-Nya dan betapa hebatnya mujizat-mujizat-Nya ! Kerajaan-Nya adalah kerajaan yang kekal dan pemerintahan-Nya turun-temurun !
1Nebuchadnezzar the king to all the peoples, nations, and populations of all languages who live in all the earth: “May your peace be great! 2“I am pleased to declare the signs and miracles that the Most High God has done for me. 3“How great are His signs
And how mighty are His miracles!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And His dominion is from generation to generation.
And how mighty are His miracles!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And His dominion is from generation to generation.
The Vision of a Great Tree
4Aku, Nebukadnezar, diam dalam rumahku dengan tenang dan hidup dengan senang dalam istanaku; 5lalu aku mendapat mimpi yang mengejutkan aku, dan khayalanku di tempat tidurku serta penglihatan-penglihatan yang kulihat menggelisahkan aku. 6Maka aku mengeluarkan titah, bahwa semua orang bijaksana di Babel harus dibawa menghadap aku, supaya mereka memberitahukan kepadaku makna mimpi itu. 7Kemudian orang-orang berilmu, ahli jampi, para Kasdim dan ahli nujum datang menghadap dan aku menceritakan kepada mereka mimpi itu, tetapi mereka tidak dapat memberitahukan maknanya kepadaku. 8Pada akhirnya Daniel datang menghadap aku, yakni Daniel yang dinamai Beltsazar menurut nama dewaku, dan yang penuh dengan roh para dewa yang kudus. Lalu kuceritakan kepadanya mimpi itu: 9Hai Beltsazar, kepala orang-orang berilmu ! Aku tahu, bahwa engkau penuh dengan roh para dewa yang kudus, dan bahwa tidak ada rahasia yang sukar bagimu! Sebab itu inilah riwayat penglihatan mimpi yang kudapat, maka ceritakanlah kepadaku maknanya.
4“I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and happy in my palace. 5“I saw a dream and it startled me; and these appearances as I lay on my bed and the visions in my mind kept alarming me. 6“So I gave orders to bring into my presence all the wise men of Babylon, so that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. 7“Then the soothsayer priests, the sorcerers, the Chaldeans, and the diviners came in and I related the dream to them, but they could not make its interpretation known to me. 8“But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is a spirit of the holy gods; and I related the dream to him, saying, 9‘Belteshazzar, chief of the soothsayer priests, since I know that a spirit of the holy gods is in you and no secret baffles you, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, along with its interpretation.
10Adapun penglihatan yang kudapat di tempat tidurku itu, demikian: di tengah-tengah bumi ada sebatang pohon yang sangat tinggi; 11pohon itu bertambah besar dan kuat, tingginya sampai ke langit, dan dapat dilihat sampai ke ujung seluruh bumi. 12Daun-daunnya indah, buahnya berlimpah-limpah, padanya ada makanan bagi semua yang hidup; di bawahnya binatang-binatang di padang mencari tempat bernaung dan di dahan-dahannya bersarang burung-burung di udara, dan segala makhluk mendapat makanan dari padanya.
10‘Now these were the visions in my mind as I lay on my bed: I was looking, and behold, there was a tree in the middle of the earth and its height was great. 11‘The tree grew large and became strong
And its height reached to the sky,
And it was visible to the end of the whole earth. 12‘Its foliage was beautiful and its fruit abundant,
And in it was food for all.
The animals of the field found shade under it,
And the birds of the sky lived in its branches,
And all living creatures fed from it.
And its height reached to the sky,
And it was visible to the end of the whole earth. 12‘Its foliage was beautiful and its fruit abundant,
And in it was food for all.
The animals of the field found shade under it,
And the birds of the sky lived in its branches,
And all living creatures fed from it.
13Kemudian dalam penglihatan yang kudapat di tempat tidurku itu tampak seorang penjaga, seorang kudus, turun dari langit; 14ia berseru dengan nyaring, demikian katanya: Tebanglah pohon itu dan potonglah dahan-dahannya, gugurkanlah daun-daunnya dan hamburkanlah buah-buahnya ! Biarlah binatang-binatang lari dari bawahnya dan burung-burung dari dahan-dahannya ! 15Tetapi biarkanlah tunggulnya tinggal di dalam tanah, terikat dengan rantai dari besi dan tembaga, di rumput muda di padang; biarlah ia dibasahi dengan embun dari langit dan bersama-sama dengan binatang-binatang mendapat bagiannya dari rumput di bumi ! 16Biarlah hati manusianya berubah dan diberikan kepadanya hati binatang. Demikianlah berlaku atasnya sampai tujuh masa berlalu. 17Titah ini adalah menurut putusan para penjaga dan hal ini menurut perkataan orang-orang kudus, supaya orang-orang yang hidup tahu, bahwa Yang Mahatinggi berkuasa atas kerajaan manusia dan memberikannya kepada siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya, bahkan orang yang paling kecil sekalipun dapat diangkat-Nya untuk kedudukan itu. 18Itulah mimpi yang telah kudapat, aku, raja Nebukadnezar; sekarang engkau, Beltsazar, katakanlah kepadaku maknanya, sebab semua orang bijaksana dari kerajaanku tidak dapat memberitahukan maknanya kepadaku; tetapi engkaulah yang sanggup, karena engkau penuh dengan roh para dewa yang kudus !"
13‘I was looking in the visions in my mind as I lay on my bed, and behold, an angelic watcher, a holy one, descended from heaven. 14‘He shouted out and spoke as follows:
“Chop down the tree and cut off its branches,
Shake off its foliage and scatter its fruit;
Let the animals flee from under it
And the birds from its branches. 15“Yet leave the stump with its roots in the ground,
But with a band of iron and bronze around it
In the new grass of the field;
And let him be drenched with the dew of heaven,
And let him share with the animals in the grass of the earth. 16“Let his mind change from that of a human
And let an animal’s mind be given to him,
And let seven periods of time pass over him. 17“This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers,
And the decision is a command of the holy ones,
In order that the living may know
That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind,
And He grants it to whomever He wishes
And sets over it the lowliest of people.” 18‘This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me its interpretation, since none of the wise men of my kingdom is able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, because a spirit of the holy gods is in you.’

Daniel Interprets the Vision
19Lalu berdirilah Daniel yang namanya Beltsazar, tercengang beberapa saat, pikiran-pikirannya menggelisahkan dia. Berkatalah raja: "Beltsazar, janganlah mimpi dan maknanya itu menggelisahkan engkau!" Beltsazar menjawab: "Tuanku, biarlah mimpi itu tertimpa atas musuh tuanku dan maknanya atas seteru tuanku! 20Pohon yang tuanku lihat itu, yang bertambah besar dan kuat, yang tingginya sampai ke langit dan yang terlihat sampai ke seluruh bumi, 21yang daun-daunnya indah dan buahnya berlimpah-limpah dan padanya ada makanan bagi semua yang hidup, yang di bawahnya ada binatang-binatang di padang dan di dahan-dahannya bersarang burung-burung di udara -- 22tuankulah itu, ya raja, tuanku yang telah bertambah besar dan kuat, yang kebesarannya bertambah sampai ke langit, dan yang kekuasaannya sampai ke ujung bumi ! 23Tentang yang tuanku raja lihat, yakni seorang penjaga, seorang kudus, yang turun dari langit, sambil berkata: Tebanglah pohon ini dan binasakanlah dia, tetapi biarkanlah tunggulnya ada di dalam tanah, terikat dengan rantai dari besi dan tembaga, di rumput muda di padang, dan biarlah ia dibasahi dengan embun dari langit dan mendapat bagiannya bersama-sama dengan binatang-binatang di padang, hingga sudah berlaku yang demikian atasnya sampai tujuh masa berlalu -- 24inilah maknanya, ya raja, dan inilah putusan Yang Mahatinggi mengenai tuanku raja: 25tuanku akan dihalau dari antara manusia dan tempat tinggal tuanku akan ada di antara binatang-binatang di padang; kepada tuanku akan diberikan makanan rumput, seperti kepada lembu, dan tuanku akan dibasahi dengan embun dari langit; dan demikianlah akan berlaku atas tuanku sampai tujuh masa berlalu, hingga tuanku mengakui, bahwa Yang Mahatinggi berkuasa atas kerajaan manusia dan memberikannya kepada siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya. 26Yang dikatakan tentang membiarkan tunggul pohon itu, berarti: kerajaan tuanku akan kembali tuanku pegang segera sesudah tuanku mengakui, bahwa Sorgalah yang mempunyai kekuasaan. 27Jadi, ya raja, biarlah nasihatku berkenan pada hati tuanku: lepaskanlah diri tuanku dari pada dosa dengan melakukan keadilan, dan dari pada kesalahan dengan menunjukkan belas kasihan terhadap orang yang tertindas; dengan demikian kebahagiaan tuanku akan dilanjutkan !"
19“Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while as his thoughts alarmed him. The king responded and said, ‘Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.’ Belteshazzar replied, ‘My lord, if only the dream applied to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries! 20‘The tree that you saw, which became large and grew strong, whose height reached to the sky and was visible to all the earth, 21and whose foliage was beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in which was food for all, under which the animals of the field lived and in whose branches the birds of the sky settled— 22it is you, O king; for you have become great and grown strong, and your majesty has become great and reached to the sky, and your dominion to the end of the earth. 23‘And in that the king saw an angelic watcher, a holy one, descending from heaven and saying, “Chop down the tree and destroy it; yet leave the stump with its roots in the ground, but with a band of iron and bronze around it in the new grass of the field, let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and let him share with the animals of the field until seven periods of time pass over him,” 24this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king: 25that you be driven away from mankind and your dwelling place be with the animals of the field, and you be given grass to eat like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven; and seven periods of time will pass over you, until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes. 26‘And in that it was commanded to leave the stump with the roots of the tree, your kingdom will remain as yours after you recognize that it is Heaven that rules. 27‘Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you: wipe away your sin by doing righteousness, and your wrongdoings by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.’
The Vision Fulfilled
28Semuanya itu terjadi atas raja Nebukadnezar; 29sebab setelah lewat dua belas bulan, ketika ia sedang berjalan-jalan di atas istana raja di Babel, 30berkatalah raja: "Bukankah itu Babel yang besar itu, yang dengan kekuatan kuasaku dan untuk kemuliaan kebesaranku telah kubangun menjadi kota kerajaan ?" 31Raja belum habis bicara, ketika suatu suara terdengar dari langit: "Kepadamu dinyatakan, ya raja Nebukadnezar, bahwa kerajaan telah beralih dari padamu; 32engkau akan dihalau dari antara manusia dan tempat tinggalmu akan ada di antara binatang-binatang di padang; kepadamu akan diberikan makanan rumput seperti kepada lembu; dan demikianlah akan berlaku atasmu sampai tujuh masa berlalu, hingga engkau mengakui, bahwa Yang Mahatinggi berkuasa atas kerajaan manusia dan memberikannya kepada siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya !" 33Pada saat itu juga terlaksanalah perkataan itu atas Nebukadnezar, dan ia dihalau dari antara manusia dan makan rumput seperti lembu, dan tubuhnya basah oleh embun dari langit, sampai rambutnya menjadi panjang seperti bulu burung rajawali dan kukunya seperti kuku burung.
28“All of this happened to Nebuchadnezzar the king. 29“Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon. 30“The king began speaking and was saying, ‘Is this not Babylon the great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?’ 31“While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: sovereignty has been removed from you, 32and you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the animals of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and seven periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.’ 33“Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; and he was driven away from mankind and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.
34Tetapi setelah lewat waktu yang ditentukan, aku, Nebukadnezar, menengadah ke langit, dan akal budiku kembali lagi kepadaku. Lalu aku memuji Yang Mahatinggi dan membesarkan dan memuliakan Yang Hidup kekal itu, karena kekuasaan-Nya ialah kekuasaan yang kekal dan kerajaan-Nya turun-temurun. 35Semua penduduk bumi dianggap remeh; Ia berbuat menurut kehendak-Nya terhadap bala tentara langit dan penduduk bumi; dan tidak ada seorangpun yang dapat menolak tangan-Nya dengan berkata kepada-Nya: "Apa yang Kaubuat ?" 36Pada waktu akal budiku kembali kepadaku, kembalilah juga kepadaku kebesaran dan kemuliaanku untuk kemasyhuran kerajaanku. Para menteriku dan para pembesarku menjemput aku lagi; aku dikembalikan kepada kerajaanku, bahkan kemuliaan yang lebih besar dari dahulu diberikan kepadaku. 37Jadi sekarang aku, Nebukadnezar, memuji, meninggikan dan memuliakan Raja Sorga, yang segala perbuatan-Nya adalah benar dan jalan-jalan-Nya adalah adil, dan yang sanggup merendahkan mereka yang berlaku congkak.
34“But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever;
For His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom endures from generation to generation. 35“All the inhabitants of the earth are of no account,
But He does according to His will among the army of heaven
And among the inhabitants of earth;
And no one can fend off His hand
Or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’ 36“At that time my reason returned to me. And my majesty and splendor were restored to me for the honor of my kingdom, and my state counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my sovereignty, and surpassing greatness was added to me. 37“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just; and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”
