| 4:1 | Ἐγὼ Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ εὐθηνῶν ἥμην ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου καὶ εὐθαλῶν. |
| 4:2 | ἐνύπνιον ἴδον καὶ ἐφοβέρισέν με, καὶ ἐταράχθην ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης μου, καὶ αἱ ὁράσεις τῆς κεφαλῆς μου συνετάραξάν με. |
| 4:3 | καὶ δι᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐτέθη δόγμα τοῦ εἰσαγαγεῖν ἐνώπιόν μου πάντας τοὺς σοφοὺς Βαβυλῶνος ὅπως τὴν σύγκρισιν τοῦ ἐνυπνίου γνωρίσωσίν μοι. |
| 4:4 | καὶ· εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ ἐπαοιδοί, μάγοι, γαζαρηνοί, Χαλδαῖοι, καὶ τὸ ἐνύπνιον εἶπα ἐγὼ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν· καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐγνώρισάν μοι, |
| 4:5 | ἕως ἥλθεν Δανιήλ, οὗ τὸ ὄνομα Βαλτασὰρ κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ μου, ὃς πνεῖμα θεοῦ ἅγιον ἐν ἑαυτῷ ἔχει. ᾧ εἶπα |
| 4:6 | Βαλτασὰρ ὁ ἄρχων τῶν ἐπαοιδῶν, ὃν ἐγὼ ἔγνων ὅτι πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἅγιον ἐν σοί, καὶ πᾶν μυστήριον οὐκ ἀδυνατεῖ σε, ἄκουσον τὴν ὅρασιν τοῦ ἐνυπνίου οὗ εἶδον, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ εἰπόν μοι. |
| 4:7 | ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης μου ἐθεώρουν, καὶ ἰδοὺ δένδρον ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς, καὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ πολύ. |
| 4:8 | ἐμεγαλύνθη τὸ δένδρον καὶ ἴσχυσεν, καὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ ἔφθασεν ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοί, καὶ τὸ κύτος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πέρας ἁπάσης τῆς γῆς· |
| 4:9 | τὰ φύλλα αὐτοῦ ὡραῖα, καὶ ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ πολύς, καὶ τροφὴ πάντων ἐν αὐτῷ· καὶ ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ κατεσκήνουν τὰ θηρία τὰ ἄγρια, καὶ ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ κατῴκουν τὰ ὄρνεα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐτρέφετο πᾶσα σάρξ. |
| 4:10 | ἐθεώρουν ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτὸς ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης μου, καὶ ἰδοὺ εἴρ καὶ ἅγιος ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ κατέβη |
| 4:11 | καὶ ἐφώνησεν ἐν ἰσχύι, καὶ οὕτως εἶπεν Ἐκκόψατε τὸ θέν. δρον, καὶ ἐκτίλατε τοὺς κλάδους αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκτινάξατε τὰ φύλλα αὐτοῦ καὶ διασκορπίσατε τὸν καρπὸν αὐτοῦ· σαλευθήτωσαν τὰ θηρία ὑποκάτωθεν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ὄρνεα ἀπὸ τῶν κλάδων αὐτοῦ. |
| 4:12 | πλὴν τὴν φυὴν τῶν ῥιζῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐάσατε, καὶ ἐν δεσμῷ σιδηρῷ καὶ χαλκῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ χλόῃ τῆ ἔξω καὶ ἐν τῆ δρόσῳ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κοιτασθήσεται, καὶ μετὰ τῶν θηρίων ἡ μερὶς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ χόρτῳ τῆς γῆς. |
| 4:13 | ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀλλοιωθήσεται, καὶ καρδία θηρίου δοθήσεται αὐτῷ, καὶ ἑπτὰ καιροὶ ἀλλαγήσονται ἐπʼ αὐτόν. |
| 4:14 | διὰ συνκρίματος εἰρ ὁ λόγος, καὶ ῥῆμα ἁγίων τὸ ἐπερώτημα, ἵνα γνῶσιν οἱ ζῶντες ὅτι κύριός ἐστιν ὁ ὕψιστος τῆς βασιλείας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ᾧ ἐὰν δόξῃ δώσει αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξουθένημα ἀνθρώπων ἀναστήσει ἐπʼ αὐτήν. |
| 4:15 | τοῦτο τὸ ἐνύπνιον ὃ ἴδον ἐγὼ Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ὁ βασιλεύς, καὶ σύ, Βαλτασ.ὶρ, τὸ σύγκριμα εἰπόν, ὅτι πάντες οἱ σοφοὶ τῆς βασιλείας μου οὐ δύνανται τὸ σύγκριμα αὐτοῦ δηλῶσαί μοι· σὺ δέ, Δανιὴλ, δύνασαι, ὅτι θεοῦ πνεῦμα ἄγιον ἐν σοί. |
| 4:16 | Τότε Δανιὴλ, οὗ τὸ ὄνομα Βαλτασάρ, ἀπενεώθη ὡσεὶ ὥραν μίαν, καὶ οἱ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτοῦ συνετάρασσον αὐτόν. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βαλτασὰρ καὶ εἶπεν Κύριε, τὸ ἐνύπνιον ἔστω τοῖς μισοῦσίν σε, καὶ ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου. |
| 4:17 | τὸ δένδρον ὃ ἴδες μεγαλυνθὲν καὶ τὸ ἰσχυκός, οὗ τὸ ὕψος ἔφθανεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὸ κύτος αὐτοῦ εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, |
| 4:18 | καὶ τὰ φύλλα αὐτοῦ εὐθαλῆ, καὶ ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ πολύς, καὶ τροφὴ πᾶσιν ἐν αὐτῷ· ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ κατῴκουν τὰ θηρία τὰ ἄγρια, καὶ ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ κατεσκήνουν τὰ ὄρνεα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· |
| 4:19 | σὺ εἶ, βασιλεῦ· ὅτι ἐμεγαλύνθης καὶ ἴσχυσας. καὶ ἡ μεγαλωσύνη σου ἐμεγαλύνθη καὶ ἔφθασεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, καὶ ἡ κυρία σου εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς. |
| 4:20 | καὶ ὅτι ἴδεν ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰρ καὶ ἅγιον καταβαίνοντα ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἐκτίλατε τὸ δένδρον καὶ διαφθείρατε αὐτό, πλὴν τὴν φυὴν τῶν όιζῶν αὐτοῦ ἐάσατε ἐν τῇ γῆ. καὶ ἐν δεσμῷ σιδηρῷ καὶ ἐν χαλκῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ χλόῃ τῇ ἔξω καὶ ἐν τῇ δρόσῳ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσεται, καὶ μετὰ θηρίων ἀγρίων ἡ μερὶς αὐτοῦ ἕως οὖ ἑπτὰ καιροὶ ἀλλοιωθῶσιν ἐπʼ αὐτόν. |
| 4:21 | τοῦτο ἣ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ, βασιλεῦ, καὶ σύγκριμα Ὑψίστου ἐστὶν ὃ ἔφθασεν ἐπὶ τὸν κύρίον μου τὸν βασιλέα, |
| 4:22 | καὶ σὲ ἐκδιώξουσιν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ μετὰ θηρίων ἀγρίων ἔσται ἡ κατοικία σου, καὶ χόρτον ὡς βοῦν ψωμιοῦσίν σε, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δρόσου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσῃ, καὶ ἑπτὰ καιροὶ ἀλλαγήσονται ἐπὶ σέ ἕως οὗ γνῷς ὅτι κυριεύει ὁ ὕψιστος τῆς βασιλείας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ᾧ ἂν δόξῃ δώσει αὐτήν. |
| 4:23 | καὶ ὅτι εἶπαν Ἐάσατε τὴν φυὴν τῶν ῥιζῶν τοῦ δένδρου, ἡ βασιλεία σού σοι μενεῖ ἀφʼ ἧς ἂν γνῷς τὴν ἐξουσίαν τὴν οὐράνιον. |
| 4:24 | διὰ τοῦτο, βασιλεῦ, ἡ βουλή μου ἀρεσάτω σοι, καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου ἐν ἐλεημοσύναις λύτρωσαι καὶ τὰς ἀδικίας ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς πενήτων· ἴσως ἔσται μακρόθυμος τοῖς παραπτώμασίν σου ὁ θεός. |
| 4:25 | Τhῦτα πάντα ἔφθασεν ἐπὶ Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ τὸν βασιλέα. |
| 4:26 | μετὰ δωδεκάμηνον, ἐπὶ τῷ ναῷ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι περιπατῶν, |
| 4:27 | ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπεν Οὐχ αὕτη ἐστὶν Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη ἣν ἐγὼ ᾠκοδόμησα εἰς οἶκον βασιλείας, ἐν τῷ κράτει τῆς ἰσχύος μου. εἰς τιμὴν τῆς δόξης μου; |
| 4:28 | ἔτι τοῦ λόγου ἐν στόματι τοῦ βασιλέως ὄντος φωνὴ ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ ἐγένετο Σοὶ λέγουσιν, Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ βασιλεῦ, ἡ βασιλεία παρῆλθεν ἀπὸ σοῦ, |
| 4:29 | καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων σε ἐκδιώκουσιν, καὶ μετὰ θηρίων ἀγρίων ἡ κατοικία σου, καὶ χόρτον ὡς βοῦν ψωμιοῦσίν σε, καὶ ἑπτὰ καιροὶ ἀλλαγήσονται ἐπὶ σέ, ἕως γνῷς ὅτι κυριεύει ὁ ὕψιστος τῆς βασιλείας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ᾧ ἐὰν δόξῃ δώσει αὐτήν. |
| 4:30 | αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ὁ λόγος συνετελέσθη ἐπὶ Ναβουχοδονοσόρ, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐξεδιώχθη, καὶ χόρτον ὡς βοῦς ἤσθιεν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δρόσου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἐβάφη, ἕως αἱ τρίχες αὐτοῦ ὡς λεόντων ἐμεγαλύνθησαν καὶ οἱ ὄνυχες αὐτοῦ ὡς ὀρνέων. |
| 4:31 | Καὶ μετὰ τὸ τέλος τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐγὼ Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνέλαβον, καὶ αἱ φρένες μου ἐπʼ ἐμέ ἐπεστράφησαν, καὶ τῷ ὑψίστῳ εὐλόγησα, καὶ τῷ ζῶντι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἤνεσα καὶ ἐδόξασα, ὅτι ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ ἐξουσία αἰώνιος καὶ ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν· |
| 4:32 | καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ὡς οὐδὲν ἐλογίσθησαν· καὶ κατὰ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιεῖ ἐν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐν τῇ κατοικίᾳ τῆς γῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς ἀντιποιήσεται τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ Τί ἐποίησας; |
| 4:33 | αὐτῷ τῷ καιρῷ αἱ φρένες μου ἐπεστράφησαν ἐπʼ ἐμέ, καὶ εἰς τὴν τιμὴν τῆς βασιλείας μου ἦλθον· καὶ ἡ μορφή μου ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπʼ ἐμέ, καὶ οἱ τύραννοί μου καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνές μου ἐζήτουν με, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν μου ἐκραταιώθην, καὶ μεγαλωσύνη περισσοτέρα προσετέθη μοι. |
| 4:34 | υῦυ οὖν ἐγὼ Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ αἰνῶ καὶ ὑπερυψῶ καὶ δοξάζω τὸν βασιλέα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ὅτι πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἀληθινὰ καὶ αἱ τρίβοι αὐτοῦ κρίσεις, καὶ πάντας τοὺς πορευομένους ἐν ὑπερηφανία δύναται ταπεινῶσαι. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
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).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
