2 and_in_year _of two of_(the)_reign of _Nebuchadnezzar he _dreamed Nebuchadnezzar dreams and_it _was _disturbed his/its_breath/wind/spirit and_his/its_sleep it _happened on/upon/above_him/it.
2 And_he/it _said the_king to_call to/for _the_magicians/soothsayers and_to _the_enchanters and_to _the_sorcerers and_to _the_Kasdim to_announce to/for_the _king his/its_dreams and_they _came and_they _stood to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before the_king.
3 And_he/it _said to/for_them the_king a _dream I _have _dreamed and_it _was _disturbed my_breath/wind/spirit to_know DOM the_dream.
4 And_they _spoke the_Kasdim to/for_the _king Aramaic Oh/the_king for_ages live tell the_dream to_your(sg)_servant[fn] and_the_interpretation we _will _declare.
5 [was]_replying Oh/the_king and_saying(ms) to_the_Kasda’e[fn] the_matter from_me [is]_assured if not tell_me the_dream and_its_interpretation members you _all _will _be _made and_your _all’s_houses a _refuse-heap they _will _be _made.
6 And_if the_dream and_its_interpretation you _all _will _declare gifts and_(a)_reward and_glory/honour great you _all _will _receive from before_me therefore the_dream and_its_interpretation inform_me.

9 That if the_dream not tell_me [is]_one it verdict_you _all and_word a _lie and_being _deceitfull you _all _have _agreed _together[fn][fn] to_tell to_me until that the_time it _will _be _changed therefore the_dream tell to_me and_know (diy)_that its_interpretation give_me.
10 They _replied the_Kasdaye[fn] before Oh/the_king and_they _said not there [is]_a _person on the_earth who the _matter Oh/the_king he _will _be _able to_reply as_to because that any king great and_power a _matter like_this not he _has _asked to/from_all/each/any/every magician and_astrologer and_Kasday.
11 And_the_matter which the_king [is]_asking [is]_difficult and_another not there who he/it _would _inform_it before Oh/the_king except gods who their_dwelling _place [is]_with the_flesh not it_is.
12 As_to because this Oh/the_king he _was _angry and_he/it _was _furious exceedingly and_he/it _said to_destroy to_all/each/any/every the _wise _men of _Bāⱱelh.
13 And_the_decree it _went _out and_wise _men_the [were]_about _to _be _killed and_they _were _sought Dāniyyēʼl and_his/its_friends to_be _executed.
14 in_then Dāniyyēʼl he _sent _back counsel and_discretion to_Aryok the _chief the_executioners (diy)_of Oh/the_king who he _went _out to_execute to_wisemen of _Bāⱱelh.
15 [he _was]_replying and_saying(ms) to_Aryok the_captain (diy)_of Oh/the_king on what the_decree harsh from before Oh/the_king then the_matter he _made _known Arioch to/for_Dāniyyēʼl.
16 And_Dāniyyēʼl he _went _in and_he/it _asked from Oh/the_king (diy)_that time he _will _give to_him/it and_the_interpretation to_inform to_the_king.
17 then Dāniyyēʼl to_his/its_house he _went and_to_Hananyah Mīshā^ʼēl and_Azaryah his/its_friends the_matter he _made _known.
18 And_compassion to_seek from before the _god the_heavens concerning the_mystery this that not they _will _destroy Dāniyyēʼl and_his/its_friends with the _rest of _the _wise _men of _Bāⱱelh.
