Rehum H7348 the chancellor H1169 H2942 and Shimshai H8124 the scribe H5613 wrote H3790 (PealPerf) a H2298 letter H104 against H5922 Jerusalem H3390 to Artaxerxes H783 the king H4430 in this sort: H3660

ραουμ βααλταμ και σαμσαι ο γραμματευς εγραψαν επιστολην μιαν κατα ιερουσαλημ τω αρθασασθα βασιλει

This is the copy of the letter that they sent:

This H1836 [is] the copy H6573 of the letter H104 that H1768 they sent H7972 (PealPerf) unto him, H5922 [even] unto Artaxerxes H783 the king; H4430 Thy servants H5649 the men H606 on this side H5675 the river, H5103 and at such a time. H3706

αυτη η διαταγη της επιστολης ης απεστειλαν προς αυτον προς αρθασασθα βασιλεα παιδες σου ανδρες περαν του ποταμου

Be it known to the king that the Jews who came up from you have come to us to Jerusalem. They are building the rebellious and bad city, and have finished the walls and repaired the foundations.

Be it H1934 (PealImpf) known H3046 (PealPasPtc) unto the king, H4430 that the Jews H3062 which H1768 came up H5559 (PeilPerf) from H4481 thee H3890 to us H5922 are come H858 (PealPerf) unto Jerusalem, H3390 building H1124 (PealPtc) the rebellious H4779 and the bad H873 city, H7149 and have set up H3635 (ShphPerf) (Qere) H3635 (IshtImpf) the walls H7792 [thereof], and joined H2338 (AphImpf) the foundations. H787

γνωστον εστω τω βασιλει οτι οι ιουδαιοι αναβαντες απο σου εφ ημας ηλθοσαν εις ιερουσαλημ την πολιν την αποστατιν και πονηραν οικοδομουσιν και τα τειχη αυτης κατηρτισμενοι εισιν και θεμελιους αυτης ανυψωσαν

Be it known now to the king that if this city is built and the walls finished, they will not pay tribute, custom, or toll, and in the end it will be hurtful to the kings.

Be it known H3046 (PealPasPtc) H1934 (PealImpf) now H3705 unto the king, H4430 that, if H2006 this H1791 city H7149 be builded, H1124 (ItpiImpf) and the walls H7792 set up H3635 (IshtImpf) [again, then] will they not H3809 pay H5415 (PealImpf) toll, H4061 tribute, H1093 and custom, H1983 and [so] thou shalt endamage H5142 (AphImpf) the revenue H674 of the kings. H4430

νυν ουν γνωστον εστω τω βασιλει οτι εαν η πολις εκεινη ανοικοδομηθη και τα τειχη αυτης καταρτισθωσιν φοροι ουκ εσονται σοι ουδε δωσουσιν και τουτο βασιλεις κακοποιει

Now because we eat the salt of the palace and it is not appropriate for us to see the king’s dishonor, therefore we have sent and informed the king,

Now H3705 because H6903 H3606 we have H1768 maintenance H4415 (PealPerf) H4416 from [the king’s] palace, H1965 and it was not H3809 meet H749 (PealPtc) for us to see H2370 (PealInf) the king’s H4430 dishonour, H6173 therefore H5922 H1836 have we sent H7972 (PealPerf) and certified H3046 (AphPerf) the king; H4430

και ασχημοσυνην βασιλεως ουκ εξεστιν ημιν ιδειν δια τουτο επεμψαμεν και εγνωρισαμεν τω βασιλει

that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. You will see in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to kings and provinces, and that they have started rebellions within it in the past. That is why this city was destroyed.

That search H1240 (PaelImpf) may be made in the book H5609 of the records H1799 of thy fathers: H2 so shalt thou find H7912 (AphImpf) in the book H5609 of the records, H1799 and know H3046 (PealImpf) that this H1791 city H7149 [is] a rebellious H4779 city, H7149 and hurtful H5142 (AphPtc) unto kings H4430 and provinces, H4083 and that they have moved H5648 (PealActPtc) sedition H849 within the same H1459 of H4481 old H5957 time: H3118 for H5922 which H1836 cause was this H1791 city H7149 destroyed. H2718 (HophPerf)

ινα επισκεψηται εν βιβλιω υπομνηματισμου των πατερων σου και ευρησεις και γνωση οτι η πολις εκεινη πολις αποστατις και κακοποιουσα βασιλεις και χωρας και φυγαδια δουλων εν μεσω αυτης απο χρονων αιωνος δια ταυτα η πολις αυτη ηρημωθη

We inform the king that if this city is built and the walls finished, then you will have no possession beyond the River.

We H586 certify H3046 (AphPtc) the king H4430 that, if H2006 this H1791 city H7149 be builded H1124 (ItpiImpf) [again], and the walls H7792 thereof set up, H3635 (IshtImpf) by this H1836 means H6903 thou shalt have H383 no H3809 portion H2508 on this side H5675 the river. H5103

γνωριζομεν ουν ημεις τω βασιλει οτι εαν η πολις εκεινη οικοδομηθη και τα τειχη αυτης καταρτισθη ουκ εστιν σοι ειρηνη

Then the king sent an answer to Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions who live in Samaria, and in the rest of the country beyond the River:

[Then] sent H7972 (PealPerf) the king H4430 an answer H6600 unto H5922 Rehum H7348 the chancellor, H1169 H2942 and [to] Shimshai H8124 the scribe, H5613 and [to] the rest H7606 of their companions H3675 that dwell H3488 (PealPtc) in Samaria, H8115 and [unto] the rest H7606 beyond H5675 the river, H5103 Peace, H8001 and at such a time. H3706

και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς προς ραουμ βααλταμ και σαμσαι γραμματεα και τους καταλοιπους συνδουλους αυτων τους οικουντας εν σαμαρεια και τους καταλοιπους περαν του ποταμου ειρηνην και φησιν

I decreed, and search has been made, and it was found that this city has made insurrection against kings in the past, and that rebellion and revolts have been made in it.

And I H4481 commanded, H7761 (PealPasPtc) H2942 and search H1240 (PaelPerf) hath been made, and it is found H7912 (AphPerf) that this H1791 city H7149 of H4481 old H5957 time H3118 hath made insurrection H5376 (ItpaPtc) against H5922 kings, H4430 and [that] rebellion H4776 and sedition H849 have been made H5648 (ItpePtc) therein.

και παρ εμου ετεθη γνωμη και επεσκεψαμεθα και ευραμεν οτι η πολις εκεινη αφ ημερων αιωνος επι βασιλεις επαιρεται και αποστασεις και φυγαδια γινονται εν αυτη

There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem who have ruled over all the country beyond the River; and tribute, custom, and toll was paid to them.

There have been H1934 (PealPerf) mighty H8624 kings H4430 also over H5922 Jerusalem, H3390 which have ruled H7990 over all H3606 [countries] beyond H5675 the river; H5103 and toll, H4061 tribute, H1093 and custom, H1983 was paid H3052 (ItpePtc) unto them.

και βασιλεις ισχυροι γινονται επι ιερουσαλημ και επικρατουντες ολης της εσπερας του ποταμου και φοροι πληρεις και μερος διδοται αυτοις

Be careful that you not be slack doing so. Why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?

Take heed H1934 (PealImpv) H2095 (PealPtc) now that ye fail H7960 not to do H5922 H5648 (PealInf) this: H1836 why H4101 should damage H2257 grow H7680 (PealImpf) to the hurt H5142 (AphInf) of the kings? H4430

πεφυλαγμενοι ητε ανεσιν ποιησαι περι τουτου μηποτε πληθυνθη αφανισμος εις κακοποιησιν βασιλευσιν

Then when the copy of King Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force of arms.

Now H116 when H4481 H1768 the copy H6573 of king H4430 Artaxerxes’ H783 letter H5407 [was] read H7123 (PealPasPtc) before H6925 Rehum, H7348 and Shimshai H8124 the scribe, H5613 and their companions, H3675 they went up H236 (PealPerf) in haste H924 to Jerusalem H3390 unto H5922 the Jews, H3062 and made them H1994 to cease H989 (PealPerf) by force H153 and power. H2429

τοτε ο φορολογος του αρθασασθα βασιλεως ανεγνω ενωπιον ραουμ και σαμσαι γραμματεως και συνδουλων αυτων και επορευθησαν σπουδη εις ιερουσαλημ και εν ιουδα και κατηργησαν αυτους εν ιπποις και δυναμει

Then work stopped on God’s house which is at Jerusalem. It stopped until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

Then H116 ceased H989 (PealPerf) the work H5673 of the house H1005 of God H426 which [is] at Jerusalem. H3390 So it ceased H1934 (PealPerf) H989 (PealPtc) unto H5705 the second H8648 year H8140 of the reign H4437 of Darius H1868 king H4430 of Persia. H6540

τοτε ηργησεν το εργον οικου του θεου του εν ιερουσαλημ και ην αργουν εως δευτερου ετους της βασιλειας δαρειου του βασιλεως περσων

διασαφησις επιστολης ης απεστειλεν θανθαναι ο επαρχος του περαν του ποταμου και σαθαρβουζανα και οι συνδουλοι αυτων αφαρσαχαιοι οι εν τω περαν του ποταμου δαρειω τω βασιλει

They sent a letter to him, in which was written:

They sent H7972 (PealPerf) a letter H6600 unto H5922 him, wherein H1459 was written H3790 (PealPasPtc) thus; H1836 Unto Darius H1868 the king, H4430 all H3606 peace. H8001

ρησιν απεστειλαν προς αυτον και ταδε γεγραπται εν αυτω δαρειω τω βασιλει ειρηνη πασα

Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones and timber is laid in the walls. This work goes on with diligence and prospers in their hands.

Be it known H1934 (PealImpf) H3046 (PealPasPtc) unto the king, H4430 that we went H236 (PealPerf) into the province H4083 of Judea, H3061 to the house H1005 of the great H7229 God, H426 which is builded H1124 (ItpiPtc) with great H1560 stones, H69 and timber H636 is laid H7761 (ItpePtc) in the walls, H3797 and this H1791 work H5673 goeth H5648 (ItpePtc) fast H629 on, and prospereth H6744 (AphPtc) in their hands. H3028

γνωστον εστω τω βασιλει οτι επορευθημεν εις την ιουδαιαν χωραν εις οικον του θεου του μεγαλου και αυτος οικοδομειται λιθοις εκλεκτοις και ξυλα εντιθεται εν τοις τοιχοις και το εργον εκεινο επιδεξιον γινεται και ευοδουται εν ταις χερσιν αυτων

Thus they returned us answer, saying, “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth and are building the house that was built these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished.

And thus H3660 they returned H8421 (AphPerf) us answer, H6600 saying, H560 (PealInf) We H586 are H1994 the servants H5649 of the God H426 of heaven H8065 and earth, H772 and build H1124 (PealPtc) the house H1005 that was H1934 (PealPerf) builded H1124 (PealPasPtc) these H1836 many H7690 years H8140 ago, H6928 which a great H7229 king H4430 of Israel H3479 builded H1124 (PealPerf) and set up. H3635 (ShphPerf)

και τοιουτο ρημα απεκριθησαν ημιν λεγοντες ημεις εσμεν δουλοι του θεου του ουρανου και της γης και οικοδομουμεν τον οικον ος ην ωκοδομημενος προ τουτου ετη πολλα και βασιλευς του ισραηλ μεγας ωκοδομησεν αυτον και κατηρτισατο αυτον

But after our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house and carried the people away into Babylon.

H895

αυτοις αφ οτε δε παρωργισαν οι πατερες ημων τον θεον του ουρανου εδωκεν αυτους εις χειρας ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεως βαβυλωνος του χαλδαιου και τον οικον τουτον κατελυσεν και τον λαον απωκισεν εις βαβυλωνα

αλλ εν ετει πρωτω κυρου του βασιλεως κυρος ο βασιλευς εθετο γνωμην τον οικον του θεου τουτον οικοδομηθηναι

The gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those Cyrus the king also took out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.

And the vessels H3984 also H638 of H1768 gold H1722 and silver H3702 of the house H1005 of God, H426 which Nebuchadnezzar H5020 took H5312 (AphPerf) out of H4481 the temple H1965 that [was] in Jerusalem, H3390 and brought H2987 (AphPerf) them into the temple H1965 of Babylon, H895 those H1994 did Cyrus H3567 the king H4430 take H5312 (AphPerf) out of H4481 the temple H1965 of Babylon, H895 and they were delivered H3052 (PealPeiPtc) unto [one], whose name H8036 [was] Sheshbazzar, H8340 whom he had made H7761 (PealPerf) governor; H6347

και τα σκευη του οικου του θεου τα χρυσα και τα αργυρα α ναβουχοδονοσορ εξηνεγκεν απο οικου του εν ιερουσαλημ και απηνεγκεν αυτα εις ναον του βασιλεως εξηνεγκεν αυτα κυρος ο βασιλευς απο ναου του βασιλεως και εδωκεν τω σασαβασαρ τω θησαυροφυλακι τω επι του θησαυρου

Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.”

Now H3705 therefore, if H2006 [it seem] good H2869 to H5922 the king, H4430 let there be search H1240 (ItpaImpf) made in the king’s H4430 treasure H1596 house, H1005 which [is] there H8536 at Babylon, H895 whether H2006 it be H383 [so], that a decree H2942 was made H7761 (PealPasPtc) of H4481 Cyrus H3567 the king H4430 to build H1124 (PealInf) this H1791 house H1005 of God H426 at Jerusalem, H3390 and let the king H4430 send H7972 (PealImpf) his pleasure H7470 to us concerning H5922 this matter. H1836

και νυν ει επι τον βασιλεα αγαθον επισκεπητω εν οικω της γαζης του βασιλεως βαβυλωνος οπως γνως οτι απο βασιλεως κυρου ετεθη γνωμη οικοδομησαι τον οικον του θεου εκεινον τον εν ιερουσαλημ και γνους ο βασιλευς περι τουτου πεμψατω προς ημας

Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched.

τοτε δαρειος ο βασιλευς εθηκεν γνωμην και επεσκεψατο εν ταις βιβλιοθηκαις οπου η γαζα κειται εν βαβυλωνι

In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning God’s house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid, with its height sixty cubits° and its width sixty cubits;

Ezra 6:3 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters.

In the first H2298 year H8140 of Cyrus H3567 the king H4430 [the same] Cyrus H3567 the king H4430 made H7761 (PealPerf) a decree H2942 [concerning] the house H1005 of God H426 at Jerusalem, H3390 Let the house H1005 be builded, H1124 (ItpiImpf) the place H870 where they offered H1684 (PealActPtc) sacrifices, H1685 and let the foundations H787 thereof be strongly laid; H5446 (PoalPtc) the height H7314 thereof threescore H8361 cubits, H521 [and] the breadth H6613 thereof threescore H8361 cubits; H521

εν ετει πρωτω κυρου βασιλεως κυρος ο βασιλευς εθηκεν γνωμην περι οικου του θεου του εν ιερουσαλημ οικος οικοδομηθητω και τοπος ου θυσιαζουσιν τα θυσιασματα και εθηκεν επαρμα υψος πηχεις εξηκοντα πλατος αυτου πηχεων εξηκοντα

with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.

[With] three H8532 rows H5073 of great H1560 stones, H69 and a row H5073 of new H2323 timber: H636 and let the expenses H5313 be given H3052 (ItpeImpf) out of H4481 the king’s H4430 house: H1005

και δομοι λιθινοι κραταιοι τρεις και δομος ξυλινος εις και η δαπανη εξ οικου του βασιλεως δοθησεται

Moreover I make a decree regarding what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses must be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.

Moreover I H4481 make H7761 (PealPasPtc) a decree H2942 what H3964 ye shall do H5648 (PealImpf) to H5974 the elders H7868 (PealPtc) of these H479 Jews H3062 for the building H1124 (PealInf) of this H1791 house H1005 of God: H426 that of the king’s H4430 goods, H5232 [even] of H1768 the tribute H4061 beyond H5675 the river, H5103 forthwith H629 expenses H5313 be H1934 (PealImpf) given H3052 (ItpePtc) unto these H479 men, H1400 that they be not H3809 hindered. H989 (PealInf)

και απ εμου ετεθη γνωμη μηποτε τι ποιησητε μετα των πρεσβυτερων των ιουδαιων του οικοδομησαι οικον του θεου εκεινον και απο υπαρχοντων βασιλεως των φορων περαν του ποταμου επιμελως δαπανη εστω διδομενη τοις ανδρασιν εκεινοις το μη καταργηθηναι

that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.

That they may offer H1934 (PealImpf) H7127 (AphPtc) sacrifices of sweet savours H5208 unto the God H426 of heaven, H8065 and pray H6739 (PaelPtc) for the life H2417 of the king, H4430 and of his sons. H1123

ινα ωσιν προσφεροντες ευωδιας τω θεω του ουρανου και προσευχωνται εις ζωην του βασιλεως και των υιων αυτου

May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who stretch out their hand to alter this, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.

And the God H426 that hath caused his name H8036 to dwell H7932 (PaelPerf) there H8536 destroy H4049 (PaelImpf) all H3606 kings H4430 and people, H5972 that shall put H7972 (PealImpf) to their hand H3028 to alter H8133 (AphInf) [and] to destroy H2255 (PaelInf) this H1791 house H1005 of God H426 which [is] at Jerusalem. H3390 I H576 Darius H1868 have made H7761 (PealPerf) a decree; H2942 let it be done H5648 (ItpeImpf) with speed. H629

και ο θεος ου κατασκηνοι το ονομα εκει καταστρεψει παντα βασιλεα και λαον ος εκτενει την χειρα αυτου αλλαξαι η αφανισαι τον οικον του θεου εκεινον τον εν ιερουσαλημ εγω δαρειος εθηκα γνωμην επιμελως εσται

Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions did accordingly with all diligence, because Darius the king had sent a decree.

Then H116 Tatnai, H8674 governor H6347 on this side H5675 the river, H5103 Shetharboznai, H8370 and their companions, H3675 according H6903 to that which Darius H1868 the king H4430 had sent, H7972 (PealPerf) so H3660 they did H5648 (PealPerf) speedily. H629

τοτε θανθαναι επαρχος περαν του ποταμου σαθαρβουζανα και οι συνδουλοι αυτου προς ο απεστειλεν δαρειος ο βασιλευς ουτως εποιησαν επιμελως

The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

And the elders H7868 (PealPtc) of the Jews H3062 builded, H1124 (PealPtc) and they prospered H6744 (AphPtc) through the prophesying H5017 of Haggai H2292 the prophet H5029 and Zechariah H2148 the son H1247 of Iddo.

H6540

και οι πρεσβυτεροι των ιουδαιων ωκοδομουσαν και οι λευιται εν προφητεια αγγαιου του προφητου και ζαχαριου υιου αδδω και ανωκοδομησαν και κατηρτισαντο απο γνωμης θεου ισραηλ και απο γνωμης κυρου και δαρειου και αρθασασθα βασιλεων περσων

This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

Artaxerxes, H783 king H4430 of kings, H4430 unto Ezra H5831 the priest, H3549 a scribe H5613 of the law H1882 of the God H426 of heaven, H8065 perfect H1585 (PealPasPtc) [peace], and at such a time. H3706

αρθασασθα βασιλευς βασιλεων εσδρα γραμματει νομου του θεου του ουρανου τετελεσται ο λογος και η αποκρισις

Because you are sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,

Forasmuch H1768 H6903 as H3606 thou art sent H7972 (PealPtc) of H4481 H6925 the king, H4430 and of his seven H7655 counsellors, H3272 (PealPtc) to enquire H1240 (PaelInf) concerning H5922 Judah H3061 and Jerusalem, H3390 according to the law H1882 of thy God H426 which [is] in thine hand; H3028

απο προσωπου του βασιλεως και των επτα συμβουλων απεσταλη επισκεψασθαι επι την ιουδαιαν και εις ιερουσαλημ νομω θεου αυτων τω εν χειρι σου

and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,

And to carry H2987 (AphInf) the silver H3702 and gold, H1722 which the king H4430 and his counsellors H3272 (PealPtc) have freely offered H5069 (ItpaPerf) unto the God H426 of Israel, H3479 whose H1768 habitation H4907 [is] in Jerusalem, H3390

και εις οικον κυριου αργυριον και χρυσιον ο ο βασιλευς και οι συμβουλοι ηκουσιασθησαν τω θεω του ισραηλ τω εν ιερουσαλημ κατασκηνουντι

Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.

And whatsoever more H7606 shall be needful H2819 for the house H1005 of thy God, H426 which thou shalt have occasion H5308 (PealImpf) to bestow, H5415 (PealInf) bestow H5415 (PealImpf) [it] out of H4481 the king’s H4430 treasure H1596 house. H1005

και καταλοιπον χρειας οικου θεου σου ο αν φανη σοι δουναι δωσεις απο οικων γαζης βασιλεως

I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence,

And I, H4481 [even] I H576 Artaxerxes H783 the king, H4430 do make H7761 (PealPasPtc) a decree H2942 to all H3606 the treasurers H1490 which [are] beyond H5675 the river, H5103 that whatsoever Ezra H5831 the priest, H3549 the scribe H5613 of the law H1882 of the God H426 of heaven, H8065 shall require H7593 (PealImpf) of you, it be done H5648 (ItpeImpf) speedily, H629

και απ εμου εγω αρθασασθα βασιλευς εθηκα γνωμην πασαις ταις γαζαις ταις εν περα του ποταμου οτι παν ο αν αιτηση υμας εσδρας ο ιερευς και γραμματευς του νομου του θεου του ουρανου ετοιμως γιγνεσθω

Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

Whatsoever H3606 is commanded by H2941 H4481 the God H426 of heaven, H8065 let it be diligently H149 done H5648 (ItpeImpf) for the house H1005 of the God H426 of heaven: H8065 for H1768 why H4101 should there be H1934 (PealImpf) wrath H7109 against H5922 the realm H4437 of the king H4430 and his sons? H1123

παν ο εστιν εν γνωμη θεου του ουρανου γιγνεσθω προσεχετε μη τις επιχειρηση εις οικον θεου του ουρανου μηποτε γενηται οργη επι την βασιλειαν του βασιλεως και των υιων αυτου

Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

And whosoever H3606 will not H3809 do H1934 (PealImpf) H5648 (PealActPtc) the law H1882 of thy God, H426 and the law H1882 of the king, H4430 let judgment H1780 be H1934 (PealImpf) executed H5648 (ItpePtc) speedily H629 upon him, H4481 whether H2006 [it be] unto death, H4193 or H2006 to banishment, H8332 or H2006 to confiscation H6065 of goods, H5232 or to imprisonment. H613

και πας ος αν μη η ποιων νομον του θεου και νομον του βασιλεως ετοιμως το κριμα εσται γιγνομενον εξ αυτου εαν τε εις θανατον εαν τε εις παιδειαν εαν τε εις ζημιαν του βιου εαν τε εις δεσμα

Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”

Then spake H1696 (PielImpf) the Chaldeans H3778 to the king H4428 in Syriack, H762 O king, H4430 live H2418 (PealImpv) for ever: H5957 tell H560 (PealImpv) thy servants H5649 the dream, H2493 and we will shew H2324 (PaelImpf) the interpretation. H6591

και ελαλησαν οι χαλδαιοι τω βασιλει συριστι βασιλευ εις τους αιωνας ζηθι συ ειπον το ενυπνιον τοις παισιν σου και την συγκρισιν αναγγελουμεν

The king answered the Chaldeans, “The thing has gone from me. If you don’t make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut in pieces, and your houses will be made a dunghill.

The king H4430 answered H6032 (PealPtc) and said H560 (PealPtc) to the Chaldeans, H3779 The thing H4406 is gone H230 (PealPerf) from me: H4481 if H2006 ye will not H3809 make known H3046 (AphImpf) unto me the dream, H2493 with the interpretation H6591 thereof, ye shall be cut H5648 (ItpeImpf) in pieces, H1917 and your houses H1005 shall be made H7761 (ItpeImpf) a dunghill. H5122

απεκριθη ο βασιλευς και ειπεν τοις χαλδαιοις ο λογος απ εμου απεστη εαν μη γνωρισητε μοι το ενυπνιον και την συγκρισιν αυτου εις απωλειαν εσεσθε και οι οικοι υμων διαρπαγησονται

They answered the second time and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”

They answered H6032 (PealPerf) again H8579 and said, H560 (PealPtc) Let the king H4430 tell H560 (PealImpf) his servants H5649 the dream, H2493 and we will shew H2324 (AphImpf) the interpretation H6591 of it.

απεκριθησαν δευτερον και ειπαν ο βασιλευς ειπατω το ενυπνιον τοις παισιν αυτου και την συγκρισιν αυτου αναγγελουμεν

The king answered, “I know of a certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see the thing has gone from me.

The king H4430 answered H6032 (PealPtc) and said, H560 (PealPtc) I H576 know H3046 (PealActPtc) of H4481 certainty H3330 that ye H608 would gain H2084 (PealPtc) the time, H5732 because H6903 H3606 ye see H2370 (PealPerf) the thing H4406 is gone H230 (PealPerf) from H4481 me.

απεκριθη ο βασιλευς και ειπεν επ αληθειας οιδα εγω οτι καιρον υμεις εξαγοραζετε καθοτι ειδετε οτι απεστη απ εμου το ρημα

The Chaldeans answered the king and said, “There is not a man on the earth who can show the king’s matter, because no king, lord, or ruler has asked such a thing of any magician, enchanter, or Chaldean.

The Chaldeans H3779 answered H6032 (PealPerf) before H6925 the king, H4430 and said, H560 (PealPtc) There is H383 not H3809 a man H606 upon H5922 the earth H3007 that can H3202 (PealImpf) shew H2324 (AphInf) the king’s H4430 matter: H4406 therefore H6903 H1768 [there is] no H3809 king, H4430 lord, H7229 nor ruler, H7990 [that] asked H7593 (PealPerf) such H1836 things H4406 at any H3606 magician, H2749 or astrologer, H826 or Chaldean. H3779

απεκριθησαν οι χαλδαιοι ενωπιον του βασιλεως και λεγουσιν ουκ εστιν ανθρωπος επι της ξηρας οστις το ρημα του βασιλεως δυνησεται γνωρισαι καθοτι πας βασιλευς μεγας και αρχων ρημα τοιουτο ουκ επερωτα επαοιδον μαγον και χαλδαιον

It is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”

And [it is] a rare H3358 thing H4406 that the king H4430 requireth, H7593 (PealActPtc) and there is H383 none H3809 other H321 that can shew H2324 (PaelImpf) it before H6925 the king, H4430 except H3861 the gods, H426 whose dwelling H4070 is H383 not H3809 with H5974 flesh. H1321

οτι ο λογος ον ο βασιλευς επερωτα βαρυς και ετερος ουκ εστιν ος αναγγελει αυτον ενωπιον του βασιλεως αλλ η θεοι ων ουκ εστιν η κατοικια μετα πασης σαρκος

Because of this, the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.

For H6903 this H1836 cause H3606 the king H4430 was angry H1149 (PealPerf) and very H7690 furious, H7108 (PealPerf) and commanded H560 (PealPerf) to destroy H7 (AphInf) all H3606 the wise H2445 [men] of Babylon. H895

τοτε ο βασιλευς εν θυμω και οργη πολλη ειπεν απολεσαι παντας τους σοφους βαβυλωνος

Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.

Then H116 Daniel H1841 answered H8421 (AphPerf) with counsel H5843 and wisdom H2942 to Arioch H746 the captain H7229 of H1768 the king’s H4430 guard, H2877 which was gone forth H5312 (PealPerf) to slay H6992 (PaelInf) the wise H2445 [men] of Babylon: H895

τοτε δανιηλ απεκριθη βουλην και γνωμην τω αριωχ τω αρχιμαγειρω του βασιλεως ος εξηλθεν αναιρειν τους σοφους βαβυλωνος

He answered Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree so urgent from the king?” Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

He answered H6032 (PealPtc) and said H560 (PealPtc) to Arioch H746 the king’s H4430 captain, H7990 Why H4101 H5922 [is] the decree H1882 [so] hasty H2685 (AphPtc) from H4481 H6925 the king? H4430 Then H116 Arioch H746 made the thing H4406 known H3046 (AphPerf) to Daniel. H1841

αρχων του βασιλεως περι τινος εξηλθεν η γνωμη η αναιδης εκ προσωπου του βασιλεως εγνωρισεν δε το ρημα αριωχ τω δανιηλ

Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.

Then Daniel H1841 went in, H5954 (PealPerf) and desired H1156 (PealPerf) of H4481 the king H4430 that he would give H5415 (PealImpf) him time, H2166 and that he would shew H2324 (AphInf) the king H4430 the interpretation. H6591

και δανιηλ εισηλθεν και ηξιωσεν τον βασιλεα οπως χρονον δω αυτω και την συγκρισιν αυτου αναγγειλη τω βασιλει

He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.

And he changeth H8133 (AphPtc) the times H5732 and the seasons: H2166 he removeth H5709 (AphPtc) kings, H4430 and setteth up H6966 (AphPtc) kings: H4430 he giveth H3052 (PealActPtc) wisdom H2452 unto the wise, H2445 and knowledge H4486 to them that know H3046 (PealActPtc) understanding: H999

και αυτος αλλοιοι καιρους και χρονους καθιστα βασιλεις και μεθιστα διδους σοφιαν τοις σοφοις και φρονησιν τοις ειδοσιν συνεσιν

I thank you and praise you, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king’s matter.”

I H576 thank H3029 (AphPtc) thee, and praise H7624 (PaelPtc) thee, O thou God H426 of my fathers, H2 who hast given H3052 (PealPerf) me wisdom H2452 and might, H1370 and hast made known H3046 (AphPerf) unto me now H3705 what we desired H1156 (PealPerf) of thee: H4481 for thou hast [now] made known H3046 (AphPerf) unto us the king’s H4430 matter. H4406

σοι ο θεος των πατερων μου εξομολογουμαι και αινω οτι σοφιαν και δυναμιν εδωκας μοι και νυν εγνωρισας μοι α ηξιωσαμεν παρα σου και το οραμα του βασιλεως εγνωρισας μοι

Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him: “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.”

Therefore H3606 H6903 H1836 Daniel H1841 went in H5954 (PealPerf) unto H5922 Arioch, H746 whom the king H4430 had ordained H4483 (PaelPerf) to destroy H7 (AphInf) the wise H2445 [men] of Babylon: H895 he went H236 (PealPerf) and said H560 (PealPerf) thus H3652 unto him; Destroy H7 (AphImpf) not H409 the wise H2445 [men] of Babylon: H895 bring me in H5954 (AphImpv) before H6925 the king, H4430 and I will shew H2324 (PaelImpf) unto the king H4430 the interpretation. H6591

και ηλθεν δανιηλ προς αριωχ ον κατεστησεν ο βασιλευς απολεσαι τους σοφους βαβυλωνος και ειπεν αυτω τους σοφους βαβυλωνος μη απολεσης εισαγαγε δε με ενωπιον του βασιλεως και την συγκρισιν τω βασιλει αναγγελω
