La Biblia de las Américas

El sueño del rey

2 En el año segundo del reinado de Nabucodonosor, este tuvo sueños[a], y se turbó su espíritu(A) y no podía dormir[b](B). 2 Mandó llamar el rey[c] a los magos[d], los encantadores, los hechiceros y a los caldeos[e], para que le explicaran al rey sus sueños(C). Vinieron, pues, y se presentaron ante el rey. 3 Y el rey les dijo: He tenido un sueño[f](D), y mi espíritu se ha turbado por el deseo de entender[g] el sueño.

4 Y hablaron los caldeos al rey en arameo[h](E): ¡Oh rey, vive para siempre(F)! Cuenta el sueño a tus siervos, y nosotros te declararemos la interpretación(G). 5 El rey respondió y dijo a los caldeos: Mis órdenes son firmes[i]: si no me dais a conocer el sueño y su interpretación, seréis descuartizados y vuestras casas serán reducidas a escombros[j](H). 6 Pero si me declaráis el sueño y su interpretación, recibiréis de mí regalos, recompensas y grandes honores; por tanto, declaradme el sueño y su interpretación(I). 7 Respondieron ellos por segunda vez, y dijeron: Refiera el rey su sueño a sus siervos, y declararemos la interpretación(J). 8 Respondió el rey, y dijo: Ciertamente sé que queréis ganar[k] tiempo, porque veis que mis órdenes son firmes, 9 que si no me declaráis el sueño, hay una sola sentencia[l](K) para vosotros. Porque os habéis concertado para hablar delante de mí palabras falsas y perversas[m](L) hasta que cambie la situación[n]. Por tanto, decidme el sueño para que yo sepa que me podéis dar su interpretación. 10 Los caldeos respondieron al[o] rey, y dijeron: No hay hombre sobre la tierra que pueda declarar el asunto al[p] rey, puesto que ningún gran rey o gobernante jamás ha pedido cosa semejante a ningún mago[q], encantador o caldeo(M). 11 Lo que el rey demanda es difícil y no hay nadie que lo pueda declarar(N) al[r] rey sino los dioses cuya morada no está entre los hombres[s](O). 12 A causa de esto el rey se indignó y se enfureció(P) en gran manera y mandó matar a todos los sabios de Babilonia. 13 Y se publicó el decreto[t] de que mataran a todos los sabios; buscaron también a Daniel y a sus amigos(Q) para matarlos.

14 Entonces Daniel habló con discreción y sensatez a Arioc, capitán de la guardia[u] del rey, que había salido para matar a los sabios de Babilonia(R); 15 habló y dijo a Arioc, capitán del rey: ¿Por qué es tan riguroso[v] el decreto[w] del rey? Entonces Arioc informó a Daniel sobre el asunto. 16 Y Daniel fue a pedirle al rey que le diera tiempo[x] para declarar la interpretación al rey.

17 Entonces Daniel fue a su casa e informó el asunto a sus amigos Ananías, Misael y Azarías(S), 18 para que pidieran misericordia del Dios del cielo acerca de este misterio(T), a fin de que no perecieran Daniel y sus amigos con el resto(U) de los sabios de Babilonia. 19 Entonces el misterio fue revelado a Daniel en una visión de noche(V). Daniel entonces bendijo al Dios del cielo. 20 Daniel habló, y dijo:

Sea el nombre de Dios bendito por los siglos de los siglos(W),
porque la sabiduría y el poder son de Él(X).
21 Él es quien cambia los tiempos y las edades(Y);
quita reyes y pone reyes(Z);
da sabiduría a los sabios,
y conocimiento a los entendidos[y](AA).
22 Él es quien revela lo profundo y lo escondido(AB);
conoce lo que está en tinieblas(AC),
y la luz mora con Él(AD).
23 A ti, Dios de mis padres(AE), doy yo gracias y alabo,
porque me has dado sabiduría y poder(AF),
y ahora me has revelado lo que te habíamos pedido,
pues el asunto del rey nos has dado a conocer(AG).

24 Después fue Daniel adonde estaba Arioc, a quien el rey había designado para dar muerte a los sabios de Babilonia(AH). Fue y le habló así: No des muerte a los sabios de Babilonia; llévame ante el rey, y declararé al rey la interpretación.

25 Entonces Arioc se apresuró a llevar a Daniel ante el rey(AI), y le dijo así: He hallado a un hombre entre los deportados[z] de Judá(AJ) que dará a conocer al rey la interpretación. 26 El rey respondió, y dijo a Daniel, a quien llamaban Beltsasar: ¿Eres tú capaz de darme a conocer el sueño que he visto y su interpretación(AK)? 27 Respondió Daniel ante el rey, y dijo: En cuanto al misterio que el rey quiere saber, no hay sabios, encantadores, magos[aa] ni adivinos que puedan declararlo al rey(AL). 28 Pero hay un Dios en el cielo que revela los misterios(AM), y Él ha dado a conocer al rey Nabucodonosor lo que sucederá al fin de los días(AN). Tu sueño y las visiones que has tenido[ab] en tu cama(AO) eran estos: 29 A ti, oh rey, en tu cama te surgieron pensamientos sobre lo que habrá de suceder en el futuro[ac], y el que revela los misterios te ha dado a conocer lo que sucederá(AP). 30 En cuanto a mí, me ha sido revelado este misterio, no porque yo tenga[ad] más sabiduría que cualquier otro viviente, sino con el fin de dar a conocer al rey la interpretación(AQ), y para que tú entiendas los pensamientos(AR) de tu corazón.

31 Tú, oh rey, tuviste una visión, y he aquí, había una gran estatua; esa estatua era enorme y su brillo extraordinario; estaba en pie delante de ti y su aspecto era terrible(AS). 32 La cabeza de esta estatua era de oro(AT) puro, su pecho y sus brazos de plata, y su vientre y sus muslos de bronce, 33 sus piernas de hierro, sus pies en parte de hierro y en parte de barro. 34 Estuviste mirando hasta que una piedra fue cortada sin ayuda de manos(AU), y golpeó la estatua en sus pies de hierro y de barro, y los desmenuzó(AV). 35 Entonces fueron desmenuzados, todos a la vez[ae], el hierro, el barro, el bronce, la plata y el oro; quedaron como el tamo(AW) de las eras en verano, y el viento se los llevó sin que quedara rastro alguno de ellos(AX). Y la piedra que había golpeado la estatua se convirtió en un gran monte(AY) que llenó toda la tierra.

36 Este es el sueño; ahora diremos ante el rey su interpretación(AZ). 37 Tú, oh rey, eres rey de reyes, a quien el Dios del cielo ha dado el reino[af](BA), el poder(BB), la fuerza y la gloria; 38 y dondequiera que habiten los hijos de los hombres, las bestias del campo o las aves del cielo(BC), Él los ha entregado en tu mano y te ha hecho soberano de todos ellos; tú eres la cabeza de oro. 39 Después de ti se levantará otro reino, inferior a ti, y luego un tercer reino, de bronce, que gobernará sobre toda la tierra. 40 Y habrá un cuarto reino, tan fuerte como el hierro; y así como el hierro desmenuza y destroza todas las cosas, como el hierro que tritura, así él desmenuzará y triturará a todos estos(BD). 41 Y lo que viste, los pies y los dedos, parte de barro de alfarero y parte de hierro, será un reino dividido; pero tendrá la solidez del hierro, ya que viste el hierro mezclado con barro corriente[ag]. 42 Y así como los dedos de los pies eran parte de hierro y parte de barro cocido, así parte del reino será fuerte y parte será frágil. 43 En cuanto al hierro mezclado con barro corriente[ah] que has visto, se mezclarán mediante[ai] simiente humana; pero no se unirán el uno con el otro, como no se mezcla el hierro con el barro. 44 En los días de estos reyes, el Dios del cielo levantará un reino(BE) que jamás será destruido, y este reino no será entregado[aj](BF) a otro pueblo(BG); desmenuzará(BH) y pondrá fin a todos aquellos reinos, y él permanecerá para siempre, 45 tal como viste que una piedra fue cortada del monte sin ayuda de manos y que desmenuzó el hierro, el bronce, el barro(BI), la plata y el oro. El gran Dios ha hecho saber al rey lo que sucederá en el futuro[ak](BJ). Así, pues, el sueño es verdadero y la interpretación fiel(BK).

46 Entonces el rey Nabucodonosor cayó sobre su rostro, se postró(BL) ante Daniel, y ordenó que le ofrecieran presentes[al] e incienso[am](BM). 47 El rey habló a Daniel, y dijo: En verdad que vuestro Dios es Dios(BN) de dioses, Señor de reyes(BO) y revelador de misterios, ya que tú has podido revelar este misterio(BP). 48 Entonces el rey engrandeció a Daniel y le dio muchos y espléndidos regalos, y le hizo gobernador sobre toda la provincia de Babilonia y jefe supremo[an](BQ) sobre todos los sabios de Babilonia(BR). 49 Por solicitud de Daniel, el rey puso sobre la administración de la provincia de Babilonia(BS) a Sadrac, Mesac y a Abed-nego, mientras que Daniel quedó en la corte[ao] del rey(BT).

Daniel 2
New International Version

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream

2 In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams;(A) his mind was troubled(B) and he could not sleep.(C) 2 So the king summoned the magicians,(D) enchanters, sorcerers(E) and astrologers[a](F) to tell him what he had dreamed.(G) When they came in and stood before the king, 3 he said to them, “I have had a dream that troubles(H) me and I want to know what it means.[b]”

4 Then the astrologers answered the king,[c](I) “May the king live forever!(J) Tell your servants the dream, and we will interpret it.”

5 The king replied to the astrologers, “This is what I have firmly decided:(K) If you do not tell me what my dream was and interpret it, I will have you cut into pieces(L) and your houses turned into piles of rubble.(M) 6 But if you tell me the dream and explain it, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor.(N) So tell me the dream and interpret it for me.”

7 Once more they replied, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will interpret it.”

8 Then the king answered, “I am certain that you are trying to gain time, because you realize that this is what I have firmly decided: 9 If you do not tell me the dream, there is only one penalty(O) for you. You have conspired to tell me misleading and wicked things, hoping the situation will change. So then, tell me the dream, and I will know that you can interpret it for me.”(P)

10 The astrologers(Q) answered the king, “There is no one on earth who can do what the king asks! No king, however great and mighty, has ever asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or astrologer.(R) 11 What the king asks is too difficult. No one can reveal it to the king except the gods,(S) and they do not live among humans.”

12 This made the king so angry and furious(T) that he ordered the execution(U) of all the wise men of Babylon. 13 So the decree was issued to put the wise men to death, and men were sent to look for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.(V)

14 When Arioch, the commander of the king’s guard, had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon, Daniel spoke to him with wisdom and tact. 15 He asked the king’s officer, “Why did the king issue such a harsh decree?” Arioch then explained the matter to Daniel. 16 At this, Daniel went in to the king and asked for time, so that he might interpret the dream for him.

17 Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.(W) 18 He urged them to plead for mercy(X) from the God of heaven(Y) concerning this mystery,(Z) so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 During the night the mystery(AA) was revealed to Daniel in a vision.(AB) Then Daniel praised the God of heaven(AC) 20 and said:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;(AD)
    wisdom and power(AE) are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;(AF)
    he deposes(AG) kings and raises up others.(AH)
He gives wisdom(AI) to the wise
    and knowledge to the discerning.(AJ)
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;(AK)
    he knows what lies in darkness,(AL)
    and light(AM) dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:(AN)
    You have given me wisdom(AO) and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
    you have made known to us the dream of the king.(AP)”

Daniel Interprets the Dream

24 Then Daniel went to Arioch,(AQ) whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, “Do not execute the wise men of Babylon. Take me to the king, and I will interpret his dream for him.”

25 Arioch took Daniel to the king at once and said, “I have found a man among the exiles(AR) from Judah(AS) who can tell the king what his dream means.”

26 The king asked Daniel (also called Belteshazzar),(AT) “Are you able to tell me what I saw in my dream and interpret it?”

27 Daniel replied, “No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about,(AU) 28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.(AV) He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come.(AW) Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind(AX) as you were lying in bed(AY) are these:(AZ)

29 “As Your Majesty was lying there, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen.(BA) 30 As for me, this mystery has been revealed(BB) to me, not because I have greater wisdom than anyone else alive, but so that Your Majesty may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind.

31 “Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue,(BC) awesome(BD) in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands.(BE) It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed(BF) them.(BG) 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away(BH) without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain(BI) and filled the whole earth.(BJ)

36 “This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king.(BK) 37 Your Majesty, you are the king of kings.(BL) The God of heaven has given you dominion(BM) and power and might and glory; 38 in your hands he has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds in the sky. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all.(BN) You are that head of gold.

39 “After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth.(BO) 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others.(BP) 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush(BQ) all those kingdoms(BR) and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.(BS) 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock(BT) cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands(BU)—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.

“The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future.(BV) The dream is true(BW) and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate(BX) before Daniel and paid him honor and ordered that an offering(BY) and incense be presented to him. 47 The king said to Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of gods(BZ) and the Lord of kings(CA) and a revealer of mysteries,(CB) for you were able to reveal this mystery.(CC)”

48 Then the king placed Daniel in a high(CD) position and lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its wise men.(CE) 49 Moreover, at Daniel’s request the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon,(CF) while Daniel himself remained at the royal court.(CG)

Daniel 2
King James Version

2 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.

2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.

4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.

5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

6 But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.

8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

9 But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.

10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.

11 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.

14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:

15 He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.

17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.

24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.

25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;

28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;

29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.

30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.

31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.

32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.

39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.

47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.

49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
