12This was becauseH3606H6903H1768 an 1extraordinaryH3493 spiritH7308, knowledgeH4486 and insightH7924, interpretationH6590 of dreamsH2493, explanationH263 of enigmasH280 and solvingH8271 of difficultH7001 problemsH7001 were foundH7912 in this DanielH1841, whomH1768 the kingH4430 namedH8036 2BelteshazzarH1096. Let DanielH1841 nowH3705 be summonedH7123 and he will declareH2331 the interpretationH6591.”
13ThenH116 DanielH1841 was broughtH5954 in beforeH6925 the kingH4430. The kingH4430 spokeH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, “Are you that DanielH1841 whoH1768 is one of the 34exilesH1123H1547 from JudahH3061, whomH1768 my fatherH2 the kingH4430 5broughtH858 from JudahH3061? 14Now I have heardH8086 aboutH5922 you that 6a spiritH7308 of the godsH426 is in you, and that illuminationH5094, insightH7924 and extraordinaryH3493 wisdomH2452 have been foundH7912 in you. 15Just nowH3705 the 7wiseH2445 menH2445 and the conjurersH826 were broughtH5954 in beforeH6925 me that they might readH7123 thisH1836 inscriptionH3792 and makeH3046 its interpretationH6591 knownH3046 to me, but they 8couldH3546 not declareH2331 the interpretationH6591 of the 9messageH4406. 16But I personallyH576 have heardH8086 aboutH5922 you, that you are ableH3202 to giveH6590 interpretationsH6590 and solveH8271 difficultH7001 problemsH7001. NowH3705 ifH2006 you are ableH3202 to readH7123 the inscriptionH3792 and makeH3046 its 10interpretationH6591 knownH3046 to me, you will be 11clothedH3848 with purpleH711 and wear a necklaceH2002 of goldH1722 aroundH5922 your neckH6676, and you will haveH7981 authorityH7981 as the 12thirdH8531 ruler in the kingdomH4437.”
