1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, and his spirit was troubled that his sleep left him. In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him. In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his mind was troubled and he could not sleep.
2 And the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the astrologers, to tell to the king his dreams. And they came and stood before the king. Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be summoned to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king. So the king summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and astrologers to tell him what he had dreamed. When they came in and stood before the king,
3 And the king said to them: “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is anxious to know the dream.” And the king said to them, “I had a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.” he said to them, “I have had a dream that troubles me and I want to know what it means.”
4 And the astrologers spoke to the king in Aramaic, “O king, may you live forever! Tell the dream to your servants, and we will show the interpretation.” Then the Chaldeans said to the king in Aramaic, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.” Then the astrologers answered the king, “May the king live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will interpret it.”
5 The king answered and said to the astrologers, “The word from me is firm: If you⁺ do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you⁺ shall be cut into limbs, and your houses shall be made a dunghill! The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, “The word from me is firm: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be torn limb from limb, and your houses shall be laid in ruins. The king replied to the astrologers, “This is what I have firmly decided: If you do not tell me what my dream was and interpret it, I will have you cut into pieces and your houses turned into piles of rubble.
6 And if you⁺ show the dream and its interpretation, you⁺ will receive gifts and rewards and great honor from me. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.” But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.” But if you tell me the dream and explain it, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. So tell me the dream and interpret it for me.”
