18. Formal Translation This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. And you, Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make the interpretation known to me; but you are able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you. |
18. Dynamic Translation This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. Now you, Belteshazzar, explain its meaning to me, because none of the wise men in my kingdom can make its meaning known to me. But you can, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you. |
