And it is a rare thing that the king requireth； and there is none other that can shew it before the king； except the gods； whose dwelling is not with flesh。
2：12因此，王气忿忿地大发烈怒，吩咐灭绝巴比伦所有的哲士。
For this cause the king was angry and very furious； and manded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon。
2：13于是命令发出，哲士将要见杀，人就寻梢但以理和他的同伴，要杀他们。
And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain； and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain。
2：14王的护卫长亚略出来，要杀巴比伦的哲士，但以理就用婉言回答他，
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向王的护卫长亚略说，王的命令为何这样紧急呢。亚略就将情节告诉但以理。
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但以理遂进去求王宽限，就可以将梦的讲解告诉王。
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但以理回到他的居所，将这事告诉他的同伴哈拿尼雅，米沙利，亚撒利雅，
Then Daniel went to his house； and made the thing known to Hananiah； Mishael； and Azariah； his panions：
2：18要他们祈求天上的神施怜悯，将这奥秘的事指明，免得但以理和他的同伴与巴比伦其馀的哲士一同灭亡。
That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret； that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon。
2：19这奥秘的事就在夜间异象中给但以理显明，但以理便称颂天上的神。
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision。 Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven。
2：20但以理说，神的名是应当称颂的。从亘古直到永远，因为智慧能力都属乎他。
Daniel answered and said； Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever： for wisdom and might are his：
2：21他改变时候，日期，废王，立王，将智慧赐与智慧人，将知识赐与聪明人。
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他显明深奥隐秘的事，知道暗中所有的，光明也与他同居。
He revealeth the deep and secret things： he knoweth what is in the darkness； and the light dwelleth with him。
2：23我列祖的神阿，我感谢你，赞美你，因你将智慧才能赐给我，允准我们所求的，把王的事给我们指明。
I thank thee； and praise thee； O thou God 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于是，但以理进去见亚略，就是王所派灭绝巴比伦哲士的，对他说，不要灭绝巴比伦的哲士，求你领我到王面前，我要将梦的讲解告诉王。
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亚略就急忙将但以理领到王面前，对王说，我在被掳的犹大人中遇见一人，他能将梦的讲解告诉王。
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王问称为伯提沙撒的但以理说，你能将我所作的梦和梦的讲解告诉我吗。
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但以理在王面前回答说，王所问的那奥秘事，哲士，用法术的，术士，观兆的都不能告诉王。
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只有一位在天上的神能显明奥秘的事。他已将日后必有的事指示尼布甲尼撒王。你的梦和你在床上脑中的异象是这样，
But there is a God 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王阿，你在床上想到后来的事，那显明奥秘事的主把将来必有的事指示你。
As for thee； O king； thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed； what should e to pass hereafter： and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall e to pass。
2：30至于那奥秘的事显明给我，并非因我的智慧胜过一切活人，乃为使王知道梦的讲解和心里的思念。
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王阿，你梦见一个大像，这像甚高，极其光耀，站在你面前，形状甚是可怕。
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这像的头是精金的，胸膛和膀臂是银的，肚腹和腰是铜的，
This image's head was of fine gold； his breast and his arms of silver； his belly and his thighs of brass；
2：33腿是铁的，脚是半铁半泥的。
His legs of iron； his feet part of iron and part of clay。
2：34你观看，见有一块非人手凿出来的石头打在这像半铁半泥的脚上，把脚砸碎。
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于是金，银，铜，铁，泥都一同砸得粉碎，成如夏天禾场上的糠秕，被风吹散，无处可寻。打碎这像的石头变成一座大山，充满天下。
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这就是那梦。我们在王面前要讲解那梦。
This is the dream； and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king。
2：37王阿，你是诸王之王。天上的神已将国度，权柄，能力，尊荣都赐给你。
Thou； O king； art a king of kings： for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom； power； and strength； and glory。
2：38凡世人所住之地的走兽，并天空的飞鸟，他都交付你手，使你掌管这一切。你就是那金头。
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在你以后必另兴一国，不及于你。又有第三国，就是铜的，必掌管天下。
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第四国，必坚壮如铁，铁能打碎克制百物，又能压碎一切，那国也必打碎压制列国。
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你既见像的脚和脚指头，一半是窑匠的泥，一半是铁，那国将来也必分开。你既见铁与泥搀杂，那国也必有铁的力量。
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那脚指头，既是半铁半泥，那国也必半强半弱。
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron； and part
