2:1	Ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ δευτέρῳ τῆς βασιλείας ἠνυπνιάσθη Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ἐνύπνιον, καὶ ἐξέστη τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ ὕπνος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
2:2	καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καλέσαι τοὺς ἐπαοιδοὺς καὶ τοὺς μάγους καὶ τοὺς φαρμακοὺς καὶ τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ βασιλεῖ τὰ ἐνύπνια αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἦλθαν καὶ ἔστησαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως.
2:3	καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεύς Ἠνυπνιάσθην, καὶ ἐξέστη τὸ πνεῦμά μου τοῦ γνῶναι τὸ ἐνύπνιον.
2:4	καὶ ἐλάλησαν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι τῷ βασιλεῖ Συριστί Βασιλεῦ, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ζῆθι σύ εἰπὸν τὸ ἐνύπνιον τοῖς παισίν σου, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν ἀναγγελοῦμεν.
2:5	ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς Χαλδαίοις Ὁ λόγος ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἀπέστη· ἐὰν μὴ γνωρίσητέ μοι τὸ ἐνύπνιον καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν, εἰς ἀπωλίαν ἔσεσθε, καὶ οἱ οἶκοι ὑμῶν διαρπαγήσονται.
2:6	ἐὰυ δὲ τὸ ἐνύπνιον καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ γνωρίσητέ μοι, δόματα καὶ δωρεὰς καὶ τιμὴν πολλὴν λήμψεσθε παρʼ ἐμοῦ· πλὴν τὸ ἐνύπνιον καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ ἀπαγγείλατέ μοι.
2:7	ἀπεκρίθησαν δεύτερον καὶ εἶπαν Ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰπάτω τὸ ἐυύπνιον τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγελοῦμεν.
2:8	καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπεν Ἐπ ἀληθείας οἶδα ἐγὼ ὅτι καιρὸν ὑμεῖς ἐξαγοράζετε, καθότι εἴδετε ὅτι ἀπέστη ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ τὸ άῆμα.
2:9	ἐὰν οὗν τὸ ἐνύπνιον μὴ ἀναγγείλητέ μοι, οἶδα ὅτι ῥῆμα ψευδὲς καὶ διεφθαρμένον συνέθεσθε εἰπεῖν ἐνώπιόν μου, ἕως οὗ ὁ καιρὸς παρέλθῃ· τὸ ἐνύπνιόν μου εἵπατέ μοι, καὶ γνώσομαι ὅτι τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγελεῖτέ μοι.
2:10	ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ λέγουσιν Οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς ξηρᾶς ὅστις τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦ βασιλέως δυνήσεται γναωρίσαι, καθότι πᾶς βασιλεὺς μέγας καὶ ἄρχων ῥῆμα τοιοῦτο οὐκ ἐπερωτᾷ ἐπαοιδόν, μάγον καὶ Χαλδαῖον·
2:11	ὅτι ὁ λόγος ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπερωτᾷ βαρύς, καὶ ἕτερος οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς ἀναγγελεῖ αὐτὸν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως ἀλλʼ ἢ θεοί, ὦν οὐκ ἔστιν ἡ κατοικία μετὰ πάσης σαρκός.
2:12	τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ὀργῇ εἰπεν ἀπὸλέσαι πάντας τοὺς σοφοὺς Βαβυλῶνος.
2:13	καὶ τὸ δόγμα ἐξῆλθεν, καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ ἀπεκτέννοντο· καὶ ἐζήτησαν Δανιὴλ καὶ τοὺς φίλους αὐτοῦ ἀνελεῖν.
2:14	τότε Δανιὴλ ἀπεκρίθη βουλὴν καὶ γνώμην τῷ Ἀριὼχ τῷ ἀρχιμαγείρῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, ὃς ἐξῆλθεν ἀναιρεῖν τοὺς σοφοὺς Βαβυλῶνος
2:15	Ἄρχων τοῦ βασιλέως, περὶ τίνος ἐξῆλθεν ἡ γνώμη ἡ ἀναιδὴς ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ βασιλέως; ἐγνώρισεν δὲ τὸ. ῥῆμα Ἀριὼχ τῷ Δανιήλ.
2:16	καὶ Δανιὴλ ἠξίωσεν τὸν βασιλέα ὅπως χρόνον δῷ αὐτῷ, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγείλῃ τῷ βασιλεῖ.
2:17	Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Δανιὴλ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῷ Ἁνανίᾳ καὶ τῷ Μεισαὴλ καὶ τῷ Ἀζαρία τοῖς φίλοις αὐτοῦ ἐγνωρισεν τὸ ῥῆμα.
2:18	καὶ οἰκτειρμοὺς ἐζήτουν παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ὑπέρ τοῦ μυστηρίου τούτου, ὅπως ἂν μὴ ἀπόλωνται Δανιὴλ καὶ οἱ φίλοι αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἐπιλοίπων σοφῶν Βαβυλῶνος.
2:19	τότε τῷ Δανιὴλ ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτὸς τὸ μυστήριον ἀπεκαλύφθη. καὶ εὐλόγησεν τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ Δανιὴλ
2:20	καὶ εἶπεν Εἴη τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ εὐλογημένον ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος, ὅτι ἡ σοφία καὶ ἡ σύνεσις αὐτοῦ ἐστιν·
2:21	καὶ αὐτὸς ἀλλοιοῖ καιροὺς καὶ χρόνους, καθιστᾷ βασιλεῖς καὶ μεθιστᾷ, διδοὺς σοφίαν τοῖς σοφοῖς καὶ φρόνησιν τοῖς εἰδόσιν σύνεσιν·
2:22	αὐτὸς ἀποκαλύπτει βαθέα καὶ ἀπόκρυφα, γινώσκων τὰ ἐν τῷ σκότει, καὶ τὸ φῶς μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν.
2:23	σοί, ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων μου, ἐξομολογοῦμαι καὶ αἰνῶ, ὅτι σοφίαν καὶ δύναμιν δέδωκάς μοι, καὶ ἐγνώρισάς μοι ἃ ἠξιώσαμεν παρὰ σοῦ, καὶ τὸ ὅραμα τοῦ βασιλέως ἐγνώρισάς μοι.
2:24	καὶ ἦλθεν Δανιὴλ πρὸς Ἀριώχ, ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἀπολέσαι τοὺς σοφοὺς Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Τοὺς σοφοὺς Βαβυλῶνος μὴ ἀπολέσῃς, εἰσάγαγε δέ με ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἀναγγελῶ.
2:25	Τότε Ἀριὼχ ἐν σπουδῇ εἰσήγαγεν τὸν Δανιὴλ ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εὕρηκα ἄνδρα ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ὅστις τὸ σύγκριμα τῷ βασιλεῖ ἀναγγελεῖ
2:26	καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Δανιήλ, οὗ τὸ ὄνομα Βαλτασάρ Εἰ δύνασαί μοι ἀναγγεῖλαι τὸ ἐνύπνιον ὃ ἴδον καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ;
2:27	καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δανιὴλ ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ λέγει Τὸ μυστήριον ὃ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐρωτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν σοφῶν, μάγων, ἐπαοιδῶν, γαζαρηνῶν ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ βασιλεῖ
2:28	Bλλ᾿ ἢ ἔστιν θεὸς ἐν οὐρανῷ ἀποκαλύπτων μυστήρια, καὶ ἐγνώρισεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν. τὸ ἐνύπνιόν σου καὶ αἱ ὁράσεις τῆς κεφαλῆς σου ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης σου τοῦτό ἐστιν.
2:29	βασιλεῦ, οἱ διαλογισμοί σου ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης σου ἀνέβησαν τί δεῖ γενέσθαι μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ὁ ἀποκαλύπτων μυστήρια ἐγνώρισέν σοι ἄ δεῖ γενέσθαι.
2:30	καὶ ἐμοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἐν σοφίᾳ τῇ οὔσῃ ἐν ἐμοὶ παρὰ πάντας τοὺς ζῶντας τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο ἀπεκαλύφθη, ἀλλʼ ἕνεκεν τοῦ τὴν σύγκρισιν γνωρίσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἴνα τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς τῆς καρδίας σου γνῷς.
2:31	σύ, βασιλεῦ, ἐθεώρεις, καὶ ἰδοὺ εἰκὼν μία, μεγάλη ἡ εἰκὼν ἐκείνη, καὶ ἡ πρόσοψις αὐτῆς ὑπερφερής, ἑστῶσα πρὸ προσώπου σου· καὶ ἡ ὅρασις αὐτῆς φοβερά.
2:32	εἰκὼν ἧς ἡ κεφαλὴ χρυσίου χρηστοῦ, αἱ χεῖρες καὶ τὸ στῆθος καὶ οἱ βραχίονες αὐτῆς ἀργυροῖ, ἡ κοιλία καὶ οἱ μηροὶ χαλκοῖ,
2:33	αἱ κνῆμαι σιδηραῖ, οἱ πόδες μέρος τι σιδηροῦν καὶ μέρος ὀστράκινον.
2:34	ἐθεώρεις ἕως ἀπεσχίσθη λίθος ἐξ ὄρους ἄνευ χειρῶν, καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὴν εἰκόνα ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας τοὺς σιδηροῦς καὶ ὀστρακίνους, καὶ ἐλέπτυνεν εἰς τέλος.
2:35	τότε ἐλεπτύνθησαν εἰς ἅπαξ τὸ ὄστρακον, ὁ σίδηρος, ὁ χαλκός, ὁ ἄργυρος, ὁ χυυσός, καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ κονιορτὸς ἀπὸ ἄλωνος θερινῆς· καὶ ἐξῆρεν τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ πνεύματος, καὶ τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς· καὶ ὁ λίθος ὁ πατάξας τὴν εἰκόνα ἐγενἤθη ὄρος μέγα, καὶ ἐπλήρωσεν πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
2:36	τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ ἐνύπνιον· καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ ἐροῦμεν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως.
2:37	σύ, βασιλεῦ, βασιλεὺς βασιλέων, ᾧ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ βασιλείαν ἰσχυρὰν καὶ κραταιὰν καὶ ἔντιμον ἔδωκεν
2:38	ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ὅπου κατοικοῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων· θηρία τε ἀγροῦ καὶ πετεινὰ οὐρανοῦ ἔδωκεν ἐν τῇ χειρί σου, καὶ κατέστησεν κύριον πάντων· σὺ εἶ ἡ κεφαλὴ ἡ χρυσῆ.
2:39	καὶ ὀπίσω σου ἀναστήσεται ἑτέρα βασιλεία ἥττων σου, καὶ βασιλεία τρίτη ἥτις ἐστὶν ὁ χαλκός, ἡ κυριεύσει πάσης τῆς γῆς·
2:40	καὶ βασιλεία τετάρτη ἔσται ἰσχυρὰ ὡς ὁ σίδηρος· ὃν τρόπον ὁ σίδηρος λεπτύνει καὶ δαμάζει πάντα, οὕτως πάντα λεπτυνεῖ καὶ δαμάσει.
2:41	καὶ ὅτι ἴδες τοὺς πόδας καὶ τοὺς δακτύλους μέρος μέν τι ὀστράκινον, μέρος δέ τι σιδηροῦν, βασιλεία διῃρημένη ἔσται, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ῥίζης τῆς σιδηρᾶς ἔσται ἐν αὐτῇ, ὃν τρόπον ἴδες τὸν σίδηρον ἀναμεμιγμένον τῷ ὀστράκῳ.
2:42	καὶ οἱ δάκτυλοι τῶν ποδῶν μέρος μέν τι σιδηροῦν, μέρος δέ τι ὀστράκινον, μέρος τι τῆς βασιλείας ἔσται ἰσχυρόν, καὶ ἀπʼ αὐτῆς ἔσται συντριβόμενον.
2:43	ὅτι ἴδες τὸν σίδηρον ἀναμεμιγμένον τῷ ὀστράκῳ, συνμιγεῖς ἔσονται ἐν σπέρματι ἀνθρώπων· καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται προσκολλώμενοι οὗτος μετὰ τούτου, καθὼς ὁ σίδηρος οὐκ ἀναμίγνυται μετὰ τοῦ ὀστράκου.
2:44	καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῶν βασιλέων ἐκείνων ἀναστήσει ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ βασιλείαν, ἥτις εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας οὐ διαφθαρήσεται, καὶ ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ λαῷ ἑτέρῳ οὐχ ὑπολειφθήσεται· λεπτυνεῖ καὶ λικμήσει πάσας τὰς βασιλείας, καὶ αὐτὴ ἀναστήσεται εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας·
2:45	ὃν τρόπον ἴδες ὅτι ἀπὸ ὄρους ἐτμήθη λίθος ἄνευ χειρῶν, καὶ ἐλέπτυνεν τὸ ὄστρακον τὸν σίδηρον, τὸν χαλκόν, τὸν ἄργυρον, τὸν χρυσόν. ὁ θεὸς ὁ μέγας ἐγνώρισεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι μετὰ ταῦτα· καὶ ἀληθινὸν τὸ ἐνύπνιον, καὶ πιστὴ ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ.
2:46	Τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον καὶ τῷ Δανιὴλ προσεκύνησεν καὶ μαννὰ καὶ εὐωδίας εἶπεν σπεῖσαι αὐτῷ.
2:47	καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν τῷ Δανιήλ Ἐπ ἀληθείας ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν αὐτός ἐστιν θεὸς θεῶν καὶ κύριος τῶν βασιλέων καὶ ἀποκαλύπτων μυστήρια· ὅτι ἠδυνήθης ἀποκαλύψαι τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο.
2:48	καὶ ἐμεγάλυνεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Δανιὴλ, καὶ δόματα μεγάλα καὶ πολλὸ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ πάσης χώρας Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἄρχοντα σατραπων ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς σοφοὺς Βαβυλῶνος.
2:49	καὶ Δανιὴλ ᾐτήσατο παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τῆς χώρας Βαβυλῶνος τὸν Σεδράχ, Μεισάχ, Ἀβδεναγώ· καὶ Δανιὴλ ἣν ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τοῦ βασιλέως.

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.
