37	אַ֣נְתְּה‪‬‪‬ מַלְכָּ֔א מֶ֖לֶךְ מַלְכַיָּ֑א דִּ֚י אֱלָ֣הּ שְׁמַיָּ֔א מַלְכוּתָ֥א חִסְנָ֛א וְתָקְפָּ֥א וִֽיקָרָ֖א יְהַב־ לָֽךְ׃	You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory,	Your Majesty, you are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory;
38	וּבְכָל־ דִּ֣י [דארין] (דָֽיְרִ֣ין) בְּֽנֵי־ אֲ֠נָשָׁא חֵיוַ֨ת בָּרָ֤א וְעוֹף־ שְׁמַיָּא֙ יְהַ֣ב בִּידָ֔ךְ וְהַשְׁלְטָ֖ךְ בְּכָלְּה֑וֹן אַנְתְּה־ ה֔וּא‪‬‪‬ רֵאשָׁ֖ה דִּ֥י דַהֲבָֽא׃	and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all—you are the head of gold.	in your hands he has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds in the sky. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.
39	וּבָתְרָ֗ךְ תְּק֛וּם מַלְכ֥וּ אָחֳרִ֖י אֲרַ֣עא‪‬ מִנָּ֑ךְ וּמַלְכ֨וּ [תליתיא] (תְלִיתָאָ֤ה) אָחֳרִי֙ דִּ֣י נְחָשָׁ֔א דִּ֥י תִשְׁלַ֖ט בְּכָל־ אַרְעָֽא׃	Another kingdom inferior to you shall arise after you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.	“After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth.
40	וּמַלְכוּ֙ [רביעיה] (רְבִ֣יעָאָ֔ה) תֶּהֱוֵ֥א תַקִּיפָ֖ה כְּפַרְזְלָ֑א כָּל־ קֳבֵ֗ל דִּ֤י פַרְזְלָא֙ מְהַדֵּ֤ק וְחָשֵׁל֙ כֹּ֔לָּא וּֽכְפַרְזְלָ֛א דִּֽי־ מְרָעַ֥ע כָּל־ אִלֵּ֖ין תַּדִּ֥ק וְתֵרֹֽעַ׃	And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes, it shall break and crush all these.	Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others.
41	וְדִֽי־ חֲזַ֜יְתָה רַגְלַיָּ֣א וְאֶצְבְּעָתָ֗א [מנהון] (מִנְּהֵ֞ן‪‬) חֲסַ֤ף דִּֽי־ פֶחָר֙ [ומנהון] (וּמִנְּהֵ֣ין) פַּרְזֶ֔ל מַלְכ֤וּ פְלִיגָה֙ תֶּהֱוֵ֔ה וּמִן־ נִצְבְּתָ֥א דִ֥י פַרְזְלָ֖א לֶֽהֱוֵא־ בַ֑הּ כָּל־ קֳבֵל֙ דִּ֣י חֲזַ֔יְתָה פַּ֨רְזְלָ֔א מְעָרַ֖ב בַּחֲסַ֥ף טִינָֽא׃	And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay.	Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay.
42	וְאֶצְבְּעָת֙ רַגְלַיָּ֔א [מנהון] (מִנְּהֵ֥ין) פַּרְזֶ֖ל [ומנהון] (וּמִנְּהֵ֣ין) חֲסַ֑ף מִן־ קְצָ֤ת מַלְכוּתָא֙ תֶּהֱוֵ֣ה תַקִּיפָ֔ה וּמִנַּ֖הּ תֶּהֱוֵ֥ה תְבִירָֽה׃	And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.	As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
43	[די] (וְדִ֣י) חֲזַ֗יְתָ פַּרְזְלָא֙ מְעָרַב֙ בַּחֲסַ֣ף טִינָ֔א מִתְעָרְבִ֤ין לֶהֱוֺן֙ בִּזְרַ֣ע אֲנָשָׁ֔א וְלָֽא־ לֶהֱוֺ֥ן דָּבְקִ֖ין דְּנָ֣ה עִם־ דְּנָ֑ה הֵֽא־ כְדִ֣י פַרְזְלָ֔א לָ֥א מִתְעָרַ֖ב עִם־ חַסְפָּֽא׃	As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.	And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.
44	וּֽבְיוֹמֵיה֞וֹן דִּ֧י מַלְכַיָּ֣א אִנּ֗וּן יְקִים֩ אֱלָ֨הּ שְׁמַיָּ֤א מַלְכוּ֙ דִּ֤י לְעָלְמִין֙ לָ֣א תִתְחַבַּ֔ל וּמַ֨לְכוּתָ֔ה לְעַ֥ם אָחֳרָ֖ן לָ֣א תִשְׁתְּבִ֑ק תַּדִּ֤ק וְתָסֵיף֙ כָּל־ אִלֵּ֣ין מַלְכְוָתָ֔א וְהִ֖יא תְּק֥וּם לְעָלְמַיָּֽא׃	And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever,	“In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.
