“Then Daniel, whose [Babylonian] name was Belteshazzar, was appalled and speechless for a while [because he was deeply concerned about the destiny of the king], and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said, ‘Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation frighten you.’ Belteshazzar answered, ‘My lord, may the dream be [meant] for those who hate you and its message for your enemies!
Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
At first Daniel, who had been renamed Belteshazzar in Babylon, was upset. The thoughts that came swarming into his mind terrified him.“Belteshazzar,” the king said, “stay calm. Don’t let the dream and its interpretation scare you.”“My master,” said Belteshazzar, “I wish this dream were about your enemies and its interpretation for your foes. 20-22 “The tree you saw that grew so large and sturdy with its top touching the sky, visible from the four corners of the world; the tree with the luxuriant foliage and abundant fruit, enough for everyone; the tree under which animals took cover and in which birds built nests—you, O king, are that tree.“You have grown great and strong. Your royal majesty reaches sky-high, and your sovereign rule stretches to the four corners of the world. 23-25 “But the part about the holy angel descending from heaven and proclaiming, ‘Chop down the tree, destroy it, but leave stump and roots in the ground belted with a strap of iron and bronze in the grassy meadow; let him be soaked with heaven’s dew and take his meals with the grazing animals for seven seasons’—this, O king, also refers to you. It means that the High God has sentenced my master the king: You will be driven away from human company and live with the wild animals. You will graze on grass like an ox. You will be soaked in heaven’s dew. This will go on for seven seasons, and you will learn that the High God rules over human kingdoms and that he arranges all kingdom affairs.
“Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while as his thoughts alarmed him. The king responded and said, ‘Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.’ Belteshazzar replied, ‘My lord, if only the dream applied to those who hate you and its interpretation to your adversaries!
Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar, was very bewildered for a while. His thoughts terrified him. So the king said, “Belteshazzar, don’t let the dream or its meaning make you afraid.”Belteshazzar answered, “My master, I wish the dream were about your enemies! I wish its meaning had to do with them!

その時ダニエルは、しばらくの間、その夢の意味にがくぜんとして、おびえてひと言も口をきけなかった。ついに、私が口を開いた。「ベルテシャツァル、恐れることはない。夢の意味を話してくれ。」ダニエルは答えた。「この夢の示していることが、王にではなく、王の敵に当てはまるのならよろしいのですが……。 20-22 夢でごらんになりました木、青々とした葉を茂らせ、みなが食べても足りるほど実をたわわにつけ、その陰には野獣が住まい、枝には鳥がいっぱいに宿り、世界中の人々に見えるように天にまで達した高い木は、王ご自身でございます。あなたは強く、大きくなり、その偉大さは天にまで達し、ご支配は地の果てにまで及びます。
