Let the animals get away from under it and the birds from its branches.He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.그가 큰 소리로 외쳐 이렇게 말했다.

19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him.

Let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him.’And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;왕께서 한 감시자, 곧 거룩한 자가 하늘에서 내려와 말하기를 '이 나무를 베어 넘기고 그것을 멸하라. 그러나 그 뿌리의 그루터기는 땅에 남겨 두되 쇠와 놋줄로 동여매어 들의 부드러운 풀 가운데 두고 하늘의 이슬에 젖게 하며, 일곱 때가 그 위로 지나가기까지 들짐승들과 함께 그 몫을 받게 하라'고 하는 것을 보셨으니,
24 “ This is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which has come on my lord the king:this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king:오 왕이여, 그 해석은 이러하며, 이것은 내 주 되신 왕에게 임한 가장 높으신 분의 명령입니다.
25 You will be driven from men and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You will be made to eat grass as oxen, and will be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.that thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee; till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.곧 왕께서 사람들에게서 쫓겨나 들짐승들과 함께 살며, 소처럼 풀을 먹게 되고, 하늘의 이슬에 젖으며, 일곱 때가 왕 위로 지나갈 것입니다. 마침내 왕께서 가장 높으신 분이 사람의 나라를 다스리시며 그것을 자기 뜻대로 누구에게든지 주시는 줄을 알게 되실 것입니다.
26 Whereas it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be sure to you after you know that Heaven rules.And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.또 그 나무 뿌리의 그루터기를 남겨 두라 명한 것은, 하늘이 다스리시는 줄을 왕께서 알게 되신 후에 왕의 나라가 왕에게 확실히 회복될 것을 뜻합니다.
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.”Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.그러므로 오 왕이여, 내 조언을 받아들이시고, 의를 행하여 죄를 끊으며 가난한 자에게 긍휼을 베풀어 불의를 끊으소서. 그리하면 왕의 평안이 길게 이어질 수도 있을 것입니다."
28 All this came on the King Nebuchadnezzar.All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.이 모든 일이 느부갓네살 왕에게 임했다.

31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice came from the sky, saying, “ O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: ‘ The kingdom has departed from you.While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee:그 말이 아직 왕의 입에 있을 때에 하늘에서 한 음성이 떨어져 말했다. "오 느부갓네살 왕아, 너에게 선고하노니, 그 나라가 네게서 떠났다.
32 You shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You shall be made to eat grass like oxen. Seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.’”and thou shalt be driven from men; and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.너는 사람들에게서 쫓겨나 들짐승들과 함께 살 것이며, 소처럼 풀을 먹게 되고, 일곱 때가 네 위로 지나갈 것이다. 마침내 네가 가장 높으신 분이 사람의 나라를 다스리시며 그것을 자기 뜻대로 누구에게든지 주시는 줄을 알게 되리라."

He was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; and his body was wet with the dew of the sky until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.바로 그 시각에 그 일이 느부갓네살에게 이루어졌다. 그는 사람들에게서 쫓겨나 소처럼 풀을 먹었고, 그의 몸은 하늘의 이슬에 젖었으며, 그의 머리털은 독수리 깃털처럼 자라고 그의 손톱은 새의 발톱처럼 되었다.
34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever, for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him that liveth for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation;그 날들이 끝날 무렵 나 느부갓네살이 하늘을 향해 눈을 들자 내 총명이 내게 돌아왔다. 그래서 내가 가장 높으신 분을 송축하고, 영원히 사시는 분을 찬양하며 높였으니, 이는 그분의 다스림이 영원한 다스림이요, 그분의 나라가 대대로 이어지기 때문이다.
35 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and no one can stop his hand, or ask him, “What are you doing?”and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?땅의 모든 거민은 아무것도 아닌 것으로 여겨지며, 그분은 하늘의 군대와 땅의 거민 가운데서 자기 뜻대로 행하신다. 아무도 그분의 손을 막거나 그분께 "무엇을 하시나이까?" 하고 물을 수 없다.
36 At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me.At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me.바로 그때에 내 총명이 내게 돌아왔고, 내 나라의 영광을 위해 내 위엄과 광채가 내게 돌아왔으며, 내 신하들과 내 귀족들이 나를 찾았다. 그리하여 내가 내 나라에 다시 굳게 서고 더욱 뛰어난 위대함이 내게 더해졌다.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.이제 나 느부갓네살은 하늘의 왕을 찬양하고 칭송하며 높인다. 그분의 모든 행하심은 진리요 그분의 길은 공의이니, 교만하게 행하는 자들을 그분은 능히 낮추실 수 있다.
