Dn 4:1Ego Nabuchodonosor quiētus eram in domō meā, et flōrēns in palātiō meō: somnium vīdī, quod perterruit mē: et cōgitātiōnēs meae in strātō meō, et vīsiōnēs capitis meī conturbāvērunt mē.I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace: I saw a dream, which terrified me: and my thoughts on my couch, and the visions of my head, troubled me. Dn 4:3Et per mē prōpositum est dēcrētum ut intrōdūcerentur in cōnspectū meō cūnctī sapientēs Babylōnis, et ut solūtiōnem somniī indicārent mihi.And by me a decree was put forth that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought into my sight, and that they should make known to me the solution of the dream. Dn 4:4Tunc ingrediēbantur ariolī, magī, Chaldaeī, et aruspicēs, et somnium narrāvī in cōnspectū eōrum: et solūtiōnem ejus nōn indicāvērunt mihi, dōnec collēga ingressus est in cōnspectū meō Daniēl, cui nōmen Baltassar secundum nōmen deī meī, quī habet spīritum deōrum sānctōrum in sēmetipsō: et somnium cōram ipsō locūtus sum.Then the soothsayers, magi, Chaldeans, and diviners were coming in, and I related the dream in their sight: and they did not make known its solution to me, until there came into my sight a colleague, Daniel, whose name is Baltassar according to the name of my god, who has the spirit of the holy gods in himself: and I told the dream before him.

Dn 4:6Baltassar, prīnceps ariolōrum, quoniam ego sciō quod spīritum sānctōrum deōrum habeās in tē, et omne sacrāmentum nōn est impossibile tibi: vīsiōnēs somniōrum meōrum, quās vīdī, et solūtiōnem eārum narrā."Baltassar, chief of the soothsayers, since I know that you have the spirit of the holy gods in you, and no secret is impossible for you: the visions of my dreams which I saw, and their solution, relate. Dn 4:7Vīsiō capitis meī in cubīlī meō: vidēbam, et ecce arbor in mediō terrae, et altitūdō ejus nimia.The vision of my head on my bed: I was looking, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth, and its height was exceeding great. Dn 4:8Magna arbor, et fortis, et prōcēritās ejus contingēns caelum: aspectus illīus erat ūsque ad terminōs ūniversae terrae.A great tree, and strong, and its tallness touching heaven: its view was right up to the ends of the whole earth. Dn 4:9Folia ejus pulcherrima, et frūctus ejus nimius: et ēsca ūniversōrum in eā.Its leaves were most beautiful, and its fruit abundant: and food for all was in it. Dn 4:9Subter eam habitābant animālia et bēstiae, et in rāmīs ejus conversābantur volucrēs caelī: et ex eā vēscēbātur omnis carō.Under it dwelt animals and beasts, and in its branches dwelt the birds of heaven: and from it all flesh was feeding.

Dn 4:10Vidēbam in vīsiōne capitis meī super strātum meum, et ecce vigil, et sānctus, dē caelō dēscendit.I was looking in the vision of my head upon my couch, and behold, a watcher, and a holy one, came down from heaven. Dn 4:11Clāmāvit fortiter, et sīc ait: Succīdite arborem, et praecīdite rāmōs ejus: excutite folia ejus, et dispergite frūctūs ejus: fugiant bēstiae, quae subter eam sunt, et volucrēs dē rāmīs ejus.He cried out mightily, and spoke thus: 'Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches: shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts flee which are under it, and the birds from its branches. Dn 4:12Vērumtamen germen rādīcum ejus in terrā sinite, et alligētur vinculō ferreō et aereō in herbīs quae forīs sunt, et rōre caelī tingātur, et cum ferīs pars ejus in herbā terrae.Nevertheless leave the stock of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with a band of iron and of bronze among the grasses which are outside, and let it be wetted with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the wild beasts in the grass of the earth.

Dn 4:13Cor ejus ab hūmānō commūtētur, et cor ferae dētur eī: et septem tempora mūtentur super eum.Let his heart be changed from a human one, and let the heart of a wild beast be given to him: and let seven times be changed over him. Dn 4:14In sententiā vigilum dēcrētum est, et sermō sānctōrum, et petītiō: dōnec cognōscant vīventēs quoniam dominātur Excelsus in regnō hominum, et cuicumque voluerit, dabit illud, et humillimum hominem cōnstituet super eum.By the sentence of the watchers it has been decreed, and it is the word and the request of the holy ones: until the living know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whomever he wishes, he will give it, and the lowliest man he will set over it.' Dn 4:15Hoc somnium vīdī ego Nabuchodonosor rēx: tū ergō Baltassar interpretātiōnem narrā festīnus, quia omnēs sapientēs regnī meī nōn queunt solūtiōnem ēdīcere mihi: tū autem potes, quia spīritus deōrum sānctōrum in tē est.This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw: you therefore, Baltassar, relate the interpretation quickly, because all the wise men of my kingdom cannot declare the solution to me: but you can, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you."

Dn 4:16Tunc Daniēl, cujus nōmen Baltassar, coepit intrā sēmetipsum tacitus cōgitāre quasi ūnā hōrā: et cōgitātiōnēs ejus conturbābant eum.Then Daniel, whose name was Baltassar, began silently within himself to ponder for about one hour: and his thoughts were troubling him. Dn 4:16Respondēns autem rēx, ait: Baltassar, somnium et interpretātiō ejus nōn conturbent tē.But the king, answering, said: "Baltassar, let not the dream and its interpretation trouble you." Dn 4:16Respondit Baltassar, et dīxit: Domine mī, somnium hīs, quī tē ōdērunt, et interpretātiō ejus hostibus tuīs sit.Baltassar answered, and said: "My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you, and its interpretation for your enemies. Dn 4:17Arborem, quam vīdistī sublīmem atque rōbustam, cujus altitūdō pertingit ad caelum, et aspectus illīus in omnem terram;The tree which you saw, lofty and strong, whose height reaches to heaven, and its view into all the earth; Dn 4:18Et rāmī ejus pulcherrimī, et frūctus ejus nimius, et ēsca omnium in eā, subter eam habitantēs bēstiae agrī, et in rāmīs ejus commorantēs avēs caelī: tū es rēx, quī magnificātus es, et invaluistī: et magnitūdō tua crēvit, et pervēnit ūsque ad caelum, et potestās tua in terminōs ūniversae terrae.and its branches most beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and food for all in it, the beasts of the field dwelling under it, and the birds of heaven staying in its branches: it is you, king, who have been made great, and have grown strong: and your greatness has grown, and has reached right up to heaven, and your power to the ends of the whole earth.

Dn 4:20Quod autem vīdit rēx vigilem, et sānctum dēscendere dē caelō, et dīcere: Succīdite arborem, et dissipāte illam, attamen germen rādīcum ejus in terrā dīmittite, et vinciātur ferrō et aere in herbīs forīs, et rōre caelī cōnspergātur, et cum ferīs sit pābulum ejus, dōnec septem tempora mūtentur super eum: haec est interpretātiō sententiae Altissimī, quae pervēnit super dominum meum rēgem, Ējicient tē ab hominibus, et cum bēstiīs ferīsque erit habitātiō tua, et foenum ut bōs comedēs, et rōre caelī īnfundēris: septem quoque tempora mūtābuntur super tē, dōnec sciās quod dominētur Excelsus super regnum hominum, et cuicumque voluerit, det illud.But as for the king seeing a watcher, and a holy one, coming down from heaven, and saying: 'Cut down the tree, and scatter it, but yet leave the stock of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and bronze among the grasses outside, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let its fodder be with the wild beasts, until seven times are changed over him': this is the interpretation of the sentence of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king: they will cast you out from men, and with the beasts and wild animals will be your dwelling, and hay like an ox you will eat, and with the dew of heaven you will be soaked: seven times also will be changed over you, until you know that the Most High rules over the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he wishes.

Dn 4:23Quod autem praecēpit ut relinquerētur germen rādīcum ejus, id est arboris: regnum tuum tibi manēbit postquam cognōveris potestātem esse caelestem.But as for his ordering that the stock of its roots, that is, of the tree, be left: your kingdom will remain for you after you have recognised that power is heavenly. Dn 4:24Quam ob rem, rēx, cōnsilium meum placeat tibi, et peccāta tua eleēmosynīs redime, et inīquitātēs tuās misericordiīs pauperum: forsitan ignōscet dēlictīs tuīs.For which reason, king, let my counsel please you, and redeem your sins with alms, and your iniquities with mercies to the poor: perhaps he will pardon your offences." Dn 4:25Omnia haec vēnērunt super Nabuchodonosor rēgem.All these things came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. Dn 4:26Post fīnem mēnsium duodecim, in aulā Babylōnis deambulābat.After the end of twelve months, he was walking about in the palace of Babylon. Dn 4:27Responditque rēx, et ait: Nōnne haec est Babylōn magna, quam ego aedificāvī in domum regnī, in rōbore fortitūdinis meae, et in glōriā decoris meī?And the king answered, and said: "Is not this great Babylon, which I have built as the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and in the glory of my splendour?"

Dn 4:28Cumque sermō adhūc esset in ōre rēgis, vōx dē caelō ruit: Tibi dīcitur, Nabuchodonosor rēx: Regnum tuum trānsībit ā tē, et ab hominibus Ējicient tē, et cum bēstiīs et ferīs erit habitātiō tua: foenum quasi bōs comedēs, et septem tempora mūtābuntur super tē, dōnec sciās quod dominētur Excelsus in regnō hominum, et cuicumque voluerit, det illud.And while the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice rushed down from heaven: "To you it is said, King Nebuchadnezzar: your kingdom will pass away from you, and they will cast you out from men, and with the beasts and wild animals will be your dwelling: hay like an ox you will eat, and seven times will be changed over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he wishes." Dn 4:30Eādem hōrā sermō complētus est super Nabuchodonosor, et ex hominibus abjectus est, et foenum ut bōs comēdit, et rōre caelī corpus ejus īnfectum est, dōnec capillī ejus in similitūdinem aquilārum crēscerent, et unguēs ejus quasi avium.In the same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and he was cast out from men, and ate hay like an ox, and his body was soaked with the dew of heaven, until his hairs grew into the likeness of eagles', and his nails like birds'.

Dn 4:31Igitur post fīnem diērum, ego Nabuchodonosor oculōs meōs ad caelum levāvī, et sēnsus meus redditus est mihi: et Altissimō benedīxī, et vīventem in sempiternum laudāvī et glōrificāvī: quia potestās ejus potestās sempiterna, et regnum ejus in generātiōnem et generātiōnem.So after the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my sense was given back to me: and I blessed the Most High, and him who lives for ever I praised and glorified: because his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom from generation to generation. Dn 4:32Et omnēs habitātōrēs terrae apud eum in nihilum reputātī sunt: jūxtā voluntātem enim suam facit tam in virtūtibus caelī quam in habitātōribus terrae: et nōn est quī resistat manuī ejus, et dīcat eī: Quārē fēcistī?And all the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing before him: for according to his will he acts, as much among the powers of heaven as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is no one who may resist his hand, and say to him: 'Why have you done it?' Dn 4:33In ipsō tempore sēnsus meus reversus est ad mē, et ad honōrem regnī meī, decōremque pervēnī: et figūra mea reversa est ad mē, et optimātēs meī et magistrātūs meī requīsiērunt mē, et in regnō meō restitūtus sum: et magnificentia amplior addita est mihi.At that very time my sense returned to me, and I came to the honour of my kingdom, and its splendour: and my form returned to me, and my nobles and my magistrates sought me out, and I was restored in my kingdom: and a greater magnificence was added to me.

Dn 4:34Nunc igitur, ego Nabuchodonosor laudō, et magnificō, et glōrificō rēgem caelī: quia omnia opera ejus vēra, et viae ejus jūdicia, et gradientēs in superbiā potest humiliāre.Now therefore I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgements, and those walking in pride he is able to humble.
