2:1	Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ δευτέρῳ τῆς βασιλείας Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ συνέβη εἰς ὁράματα καὶ ἐνύπνια ἐμπεσεῖν τὸν βασιλέα καὶ ταραχθῆναι ἐν τῷ ἐνυπνίῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ ὕπνος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
2:2	καὶ ἐπέταξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰσενεχθῆναι τοὺς ἐπαοιδοὺς καὶ τοὺς μάγους καὶ τοὺς φαρμακοὺς τῶν Χαλδαίων ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ βασιλεῖ τὰ ἐνύπνια αὐτοῦ· καὶ παραγενόμενοι ἔστησαν παρὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ
2:3	καὶ εἰπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεύς Ἐυύπνιον ἑώρακα καὶ ἐκινήθη μου τὸ πνεῦμα· ἐπιγνῶναι οὗυ θέλω τὸ ἐνύπνιον.
2:4	καὶ ἐλάλησαν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Συριστί Κύριε βασιλεῦ, τὸν αἰῶνα ζῆθι· ἀνάγγειλον τὸ ἐνύπνιόν σου τοῖς παισί σου, καὶ ἡμεῖς σοι φράσομεν τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ.
2:5	ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπε τοῖς Χαλδαίοις λόγος ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἀπέστη· διότι ἐὰν μὴ ἀπαγγείλητέ μοι ἐπʼ ἀληθείας τὸ ἐνύπνιον καὶ τὴν τούτου σύγκρισιν δηλώσητέ μοι, παραδειγματισθήσεσθε, καὶ ἀναληφθήσεται ὑμῶν τὰ ὑπάρχοντα εἰς τὸ βασιλικόν.
2:6	ἐὰν δὲ τὸ ἐνύπνιον διασαφήσητέ μοι καὶ τὴν τούτου σύγκρισιν ἀναγγείλητε, λήψεσθε δόματα παντοῖα καὶ δοξασθήσεσθε ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ· δηλώσατέ μοι τὸ ἐνύπνιον καὶ κρίνατε.
2:7	ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ ἐκ δευτέρου λέγοντες Βασιλεῦ, τὸ ὅραμα εἰπόν, καὶ οἱ παῖδές σου κρινοῦσι πρὸς ταῦτα.
2:8	καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεύς Ἐπ ἀληθείας οἶδα ὅτι καιρὸν ὑμεῖς ἐξαγοράζετε, καθάπερ ἑωράκατε ὅτι ἀπέστη ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ τὸ πρᾶγμα· καθάπερ οὖν προστέταχα, οὕτως ἔσται.
2:9	ἐὰν μὴ τὸ ἐνύπνιον ἀπαγγείλητέ μοι ἐπʼ ἀληθείας καὶ τὴν τούτου σύγκρισιν δηλώσητε, θανάτῳ περιπεσεῖσθε· συνείπασθε γὰρ λόγους ψευδεῖς ποιήσασθαι ἐπʼ ἐμοῦ, ἕως ἂν ὁ καιρὸς ἀλλοιωθῇ. νῦν οὗν ἐὰν τὸ δῆμα εἵπητέ μοι ὃ τὴν νύκτα ἑώρακα, γνώσομαι ὅτι καὶ τὴν τούτου κρίσιν δηλώσητε.
2:10	καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι ἐπὶ τοῦ βασιλέως ὅτι Οὐδεὶς τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς δυνήσεται εἰπεῖν τῷ βασιλεῖ ὃ ἑώρακε, καθάπερ σὺ ἐρωτᾷς, καὶ πᾶς βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς δυνάστης τοιοῦτο πρᾶγμα οὐκ ἐπερωτᾷ πάντα σοφὸν καὶ μάγον καὶ Χαλδαῖον·
2:11	καὶ ὁ λόγος ὃν ζητεῖς, βασιλεῦ, βαρύς ἐστι καὶ ἐπίδοξος, καὶ οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς δηλώσει ταῦτα τῷ βασιλεῖ, εἰ μὴ τι ἄγγελος, οὗ οὐκ ἔστι κατοικητήριον μετὰ πάσης σαρκός· ὅθεν οὐκ ἐνδέχεται γενέσθαι καθάπερ οἴει.
2:12	τότε ὁ βασιεὺς στυγνὸς γενόμενος καὶ περίλυπος προσέταξεν ἐξαγαγεῖν πάντας τοὺς σοφοὺς τῆς Βαβυλωνίας.
2:13	καὶ ἐδογματίσθη πάντας ἀποκτεῖναι· ἐζητήθη δὲ ὁ Δανιὴλ καὶ πάντες οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ χάριν τοῦ συναπολέσθαι
2:14	τότε Δανιὴλ εἶπε βουλὴν καὶ γνώμην ἣν εἶχεν Ἀριώχῃ τῷ ἀρχιμαγείρῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, ᾧ προσέταξεν ἐξαγαγεῖν τοὺς σοφιστὰς τῆς Βαβυλωνίας,
2:15	καὶ ἐπυνθάνετο αὐτοῦ λέγων Ἄρχων τοῦ βασιλέως, περὶ τίνος δογματίζεται πικρῶς παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως; τότε τὸ πρόσταγμα ἐσήμανεν ὁ Ἀριώχης τῷ Δανιήλ.
2:16	ό δὲ Δανιὴλ εἰσἡλθε ταχέως πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἠξίωσεν ἵνα δοθῇ αὐτῷ χρονος παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ δηλώσῃ πάντα ἐπὶ τοῦ βασιλέως.
2:17	Τότε ἀπελθὼν Δανιὴλ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἀνανίᾳ καὶ Μισαὴλ καὶ Ἀζαρία τοῖς συνεταίροις ὑπέδειξε πάντα,
2:18	καὶ παρήγγειλε νηστείαν καὶ δέησιν καὶ τιμαωρίαν ζητῆσαι παρὰ τοῦ κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου περὶ τοῦ μυστηρίου τούτου, ὅπως μὴ ἐκδοθῶσι Δανιὴλ καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς ἀπώλειαν ἄμα τοῖς σοφισταῖς Βαβυλῶνος.
2:19	τότε τῷ Δανιὴλ ἐν ὁράματι ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ νυκτὶ τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ βασιλέως ἐξεφάνθη εὐσήμως. τότε Δανιὴλ εὐλόγησε τὸν κύριον τὸν ὕψιστον, καὶ ἐκφωνήσας εἶπεν
2:20	Ἔσται τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου τοῦ μεγάλου εὐλογημένον εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ὅτι ἡ σοφία καὶ ἡ μεγαλωσύνη αὐτοῦ ἐστι
2:21	καὶ αὐτὸς ἀλλοιοῖ καιροὺς καὶ χρόνους, μεθιστῶν βασιλεῖς καὶ καθιστῶν, διδοὺς σοφοῖς σοφίαν καὶ σύνεσιν τοῖς ἐν ἐπιστήμῃ οὖσιν·
2:22	ἀνακαλύπτων τὰ βαθέα καὶ σκοτεινὰ καὶ γινώσκων τὰ ἐν τῷ σκότει καὶ τὰ ἐν τῷ φωτί, καὶ παρʼ αὐτῷ κατάλυσις.
2:23	σοί, κύριε τῶν πατέρων μου, ἐξομολογοῦμαι καὶ αἰνῶ, ὅτι σοφίαν καὶ φρόνησιν ἔδωκάς μοι, καὶ νῦν ἐσήμανάς μοι ὅσα ἠξίωσα, τοῦ δηλῶσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ πρὸς ταῦτα.
2:24	εἰσελθὼν δὲ Δανιὴλ πρὸς τὸν Ἀριὼχ τὸν κατασταθέντα ὑπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως ἀποκτεῖναι πάντας τοὺς σοφιστὰς τῆς Βαβυλωνίας εἶπεν αὐτῷ Τοὺς μὲν σοφιστὰς τῆς Βαβυλωνίας μὴ ἀπολέσῃς, εἰσάγαγε δέ με πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἕκαστα τῷ βασιλεῖ δηλώσω.
2:25	Τότε Ἀριὼχ κατὰ σπουδὴν εἰσήγαγεν τὸν Δανιὴλ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὅτι Εὕρηκα ἄνθρωπον σοφὸν ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας τῶν υἱῶν τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ὃς τῷ βασιλεῖ δηλώσει ἕκαστα.
2:26	ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπε τῷ Δανιήλ, ἐπικαλουμένῳ δὲ Χαλδαιστὶ Βαλτασάρ Δυνήσῃ δηλῶσαί μοι τὸ ὄραμα ὃ εἶδον καὶ τὴν τούτου σύγκρισιν;
2:27	ἐκφωνήσας δὲ ὁ Δανιὴλ ἐπὶ βασιλέως εἶπεν Τὸ μυστήριον ὃ ἑώρακεν ὁ βασιλεύς, οὐκ ἔστι σοφῶν καὶ φαρμακῶν καὶ ἐπαοιδῶν καὶ γαζαρηνῶν ἡ δήλωσις·
2:28	άλλʼ ἔστι θεὸς ἐν οὐρανῷ ἀνακαλύπτων μυστήρια, ὃς ἐδήλωσε τῷ βασιλεῖ Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ἄ δεῖ γενέσθαι ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν·
2:29	καὶ ἀνακαλύπτων μυστήρια ἐδήλωσέ σοι ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι.
2:30	κἀμοὶ δέ οὐ παρὰ τὴν σοφίαν τὴν οὗσαν ἐν ἐμοὶ ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο ἐξεφάνθη, ἀλλ᾿ ἕνεκεν τοῦ δηλωθῆναι τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐσημάνθη μοι ἃ ὑπέλαβες τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ἐν γνώσει.
2:31	καὶ σύ, βασιλεῦ, ἑώρακας, καὶ ἰδοὺ εἰκὼν μία, καὶ ἦν ἡ εἰκὼν ἐκείνη μεγάλη σφόδρα, καὶ ἡ πρόσοψις αὐτῆς ὑπερφερὴς ἑστήκει ἐναντίον σου· καὶ ἡ πρόσοψις τῆς εἰκόνος φοβερά.
2:32	καὶ ἦν ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ χρυσίου χρηστοῦ, τὸ στῆθος καὶ οἱ βραχίονες ἀργυροῖ, ἡ κοιλία καὶ οἱ μηροὶ χαλκοῖ
2:33	τὰ δὲ σκέλη σιδηρᾶ, οἱ πόδες μέρος μέν τι σιδήρου, μέρος δέ τι ὀστράκινον.
2:34	ἑώρακας ἕως ὅτου ἐτμήθη λίθος ἐξ ὄρους ἄνευ χειρῶν, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν εἰκόνα ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας τοὺς σιδηροῦς καὶ ὀστρακίνους καὶ κατήλεσεν αὐτά.
2:35	τότε λεπτὰ ἐγένετο ἄμα ὁ σίδηρος καὶ τὸ ὄστρακον καὶ ὁ χαλκὸς καὶ ὁ ἄργυρος καὶ τὸ χρυσίον, καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ λεπτότερον ἀχύρου ἐν ἄλωνι, καὶ ἐρρίπισεν αὐτὰ ὁ ἄνεμος ὥστε μηδέν καταλειφθῆναι ἐξ αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ λίθος ὁ πατάξας τὴν εἰκόνα ἐγένετο ὄρος μέγα, καὶ ἐπάταξε πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
2:36	τοῦτο τὸ ὅραμα· καὶ τὴν κρίσιν δὲ ἐροῦμεν ἐπὶ τοῦ βασιλέως.
2:37	σύ, βασιλεῦ, βασιλεὺς βασιλέων, καὶ σοὶ ὁ κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὴν ἀρχὴν καὶ τὴν βασιλείαν καὶ τὴν ἰσχὺν καὶ τὴν τιμὴν καὶ τὴν δόξαν ἔδωκεν·
2:38	ἐν πάσῃ τῇ οἰκουμένῃ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων καὶ θηρίων ἀγρίων καὶ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῶν ἰχθύων τῆς θαλάσσης παρέδωκεν ὑπὸ τὰς χεῖράς σου, κυριεύειν πάντων· σὺ εἶ ἡ κεφαλὴ ἡ χρυσῆ.
2:39	καὶ μετὰ σέ ἀναστήσεται βασιλεία ἐλάττων σου, καὶ τρίτη βασιλεία ἄλλη χαλκῆ ἣ κυριεύσει πάσης τῆς γῆς·
2:40	καὶ βασιλεία τετάρτη ἰσχυρὰ ὡς ὁ σίδηρος, ὥσπερ ὁ σίδηρος ὃ δαμάζων πάντα, καὶ ὡς ὁ σίδηρος πᾶν δένδρον ἐκκόπτων· καὶ σεισθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ.
2:41	καὶ ὡς ἑώρακας τοὺς πόδας αὐτῆς καὶ τοὺς δακτύλους μέρος μέν τι ὀστράκου κεραμικοῦ, μέρος δέ τι σιδήρου, βασιλεία ἄλλη διμερὴς ἔσται ἐν αὐτῇ, καθάπερ εἶδες τὸν σίδηρον ἀναμεμιγμένον ἄμα τῷ πηλίνῳ ὀστράκῳ.
2:42	καὶ οἱ δάκτυλοι τῶν ποδῶν μέρος μέν τι σιδηροῦν, μέρος δέ τι ὀστράκινον· μέρος δέ τι τῆς βασιλείας ἔσται ἵσχυρόν, καὶ μέρος τι ἔσται συντετριμμένον.
2:43	καὶ ὡς εἶδες τὸν σίδηρον ἀναμεμιγμένον ἄμα τῷ πηλίνῳ ὀστράκῳ, καὶ συμμιγεῖς ἔσονται εἰς γένεσιν ἀνθρώπων· οὐκ ἔσονται δὲ ὁμονοοῦντες οὕτε εὐνοοῦντες ἀλλήλοις, ὥσ περ οὐδὲ ὁ σίδηρος δύναται συγκραθῆναι τῷ ὀστράκῳ.
2:44	καὶ ἐν τοῖς χρόνοις τῶν βασιλέων τούτων στήσει ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ βασιλείαν ἄλλην, ἥτις ἔσται εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας καὶ οὐ φθαρήσεται· καὶ αὕτη ἡ βασιλεία ἄλλο ἔθνος οὐ μὴ ἐάσῃ, πατάξει δὲ καὶ ἀφανίσει τὰς βασιλείας ταύτας, καὶ αὐτὴ στήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα·
2:45	καθάπερ ἑώρακας ἐξ ὄρους τμηθῆναι λίθον ἄνευ χειρῶν, καὶ συνηλόησε τὸ ὄστρακον τὸν σίδηρον καὶ τὸν χαλκὸν καὶ τὸν ἄργυρον καὶ τὸν χρυσόν. ὁ θεὸς ὁ μέγας ἐσήμανε τῷ βασιλεῖ τὰ ἐσόμενα ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν· καὶ ἀκριβές τὸ ὄραμα, καὶ πιστὴ ἡ τούτου κρίσις.
2:46	Τότε Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ὁ βασιλεὺς πεσὼν ἐπὶ πρόσαωπον χαμαὶ προσεκύνησεν τῷ Δανιήλ, καὶ ἐπέταξε θυσίας καὶ σπονδὰς ποιῆσαι αὐτῷ.
2:47	καὶ ἐκφωνήσας ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν Δανιὴλ εἶπεν Ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας ἐστὶν ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν θεὸς τῶν θεῶν καὶ κύριος τῶν βασιλέων, ὁ ἐκφαίνων μυστήρια κρυπτὰ μόνος· ὅτι ἐδυνάσθης δηλῶσαι τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο.
2:48	τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ Δανιὴλ μεγαλύνας καὶ δοὺς δωρεὰς μεγάλας καὶ πολλὰς κατέστησεν ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων τῆς Βαβυλωνίας, καὶ ἀπέδειξεν αὐτὸν ἄρχοντα καὶ ἡγούμενον πάντων τῶν σοφιστῶν Βαβυλωνίας.
2:49	καὶ Δανιὴλ ἠξίωσε τὸν βασιλέα ἴνα κατασταθῶσιν ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων τῆς Βαβυλωνίας Σεδράχ, Μισάχ, Ἀβδεναγώ· καὶ Δανιὴλ ἦν ἐν τῇ βασιλικῇ αὐλῇ.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).

L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.

L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.

English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
