1. നെബൂഖദ് നേസര്രാജാവു സര്വ്വഭൂമിയിലും പാര്ക്കുംന്ന സകലവംശങ്ങള്ക്കും ജാതികള്ക്കും ഭാഷക്കാര്ക്കും എഴുതുന്നതുനിങ്ങള്ക്കു ശുഭം വര്ദ്ധിച്ചുവരട്ടെ.

1. రాజైన నెబుకద్నెజరు తన లేఖను ప్రపంచంలో అన్ని జనాంగాలకు, ఇతర భాషలు మాటలాడే దేశాలకు, ప్రజలకు వ్రాయిస్తూ మీ అందరికీ సమాధాన మగుగాక!

2. അത്യുന്നതനായ ദൈവം എങ്കല് പ്രവര്ത്തിച്ച അടയാളങ്ങളും അത്ഭുതങ്ങളും പ്രസിദ്ധമാക്കുന്നതു നന്നെന്നു എനിക്കു തോന്നിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
യോഹന്നാൻ 4:48

2. అత్యున్నతుడైన దేవుడు, నా కోసం చేసిన అద్భుత విషయాలు, అద్భుత సంఘటనల గురించి చెప్పడానికి సంతోసిస్తున్నాను.

3. അവന്റെ അടയാളങ്ങള് എത്ര വലിയവ! അവന്റെ അത്ഭുതങ്ങള് എത്ര ശ്രേഷ്ഠമായവ! അവന്റെ രാജത്വം എന്നേക്കുമുള്ള രാജത്വവും അവന്റെ ആധിപത്യം തലമുറതലമുറയായുള്ളതും ആകുന്നു.

3. దేవుని సూచనలు, అద్భుతాలు మహాగొప్పవి, శక్తివంతమైనవి. దేవుని రాజ్యం శాశ్వతమైనది. దేవుని ప్రభుత్వం అన్ని తరాలు కొనసాగుతుంది.

4. നെബൂഖദ് നേസര് എന്ന ഞാന് എന്റെ അരമനയില് സ്വൈരമായും എന്റെ രാജധാനിയില് സുഖമായും വസിച്ചിരിക്കുമ്പോള് ഒരു സ്വപ്നം കണ്ടു,

4. నెబుకద్నెజరు అను నేను నా అంతఃపురాన ఉన్నాను. నేను సుఖంగా సంతోషంగా ఉన్నాను.

5. അതുനിമിത്തം ഭയപ്പെട്ടു, കിടക്കയില്വെച്ചു എനിക്കുണ്ടായ നിരൂപണങ്ങളാലും ദര്ശനങ്ങളാലും വ്യാകുലപ്പെട്ടു.

5. నన్ను భయంగొలిపే కల ఒకటి వచ్చింది. నేను నా పడకమీద ఉన్నాను. నా మనస్సులోని ఆలోచనలు నన్ను భయపెట్టాయి.

6. സ്വപ്നത്തിന്റെ അര്ത്ഥം അറിയിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ബാബേലിലെ സകലവിദ്വാന്മാരെയും എന്റെ മുമ്പില് കൊണ്ടുവരുവാന് ഞാന് കല്പിച്ചു.

6. అందువల్ల బబులోనులోని వివేకవంతులందరినీ నావద్దకు తీసుకు రమ్మని ఆజ్ఞ ఇచ్చాను. ఎందుకంటే వారు నా కలయొక్క అర్థం చెప్పగలరని.

7. അങ്ങനെ മന്ത്രവാദികളും ആഭിചാരകന്മാരും കല്ദയരും ശകുനവാദികളും അകത്തു വന്നു; ഞാന് സ്വപ്നം അവരോടു വിവരിച്ചുപറഞ്ഞു; അവര് അര്ത്ഥം അറിയിച്ചില്ല താനും.

7. ఇంద్ర జాలికులు, కల్దీయులు వచ్చారు. రాగానే వారితో కల వృత్తాంతం చెప్పాను. కాని దాని అర్థమేమిటో వారు చెప్పలేకపోయారు.

8. ഒടുവില് എന്റെ ദേവന്റെ നാമദേധപ്രകാരം ബേല്ത്ത് ശസ്സര് എന്നു പേരുള്ളവനും വിശുദ്ധദേവന്മാരുടെ ആത്മാവുള്ളവനുമായ ദാനീയേല് എന്റെ മുമ്പില് വന്നു; അവനോടു ഞാന് സ്വപ്നം വിവരിച്ചതെന്തെന്നാല്

8. చివరికి దానియేలు వచ్చాడు. (నా దేవుని గౌరవించే నిమిత్తం నేను దానియేలుకు బెల్తెషాబరు అని పేరుపెడితిని. పరిశుద్ధ దేవుళ్ళ ఆత్మ అతనిలో వుంది.) నా కల గురించి దానియేలుతో చెప్పాను.

9. മന്ത്രവാദിശ്രേഷ്ഠനായ ബേല്ത്ത് ശസ്സരേ, വിശുദ്ധദേവന്മാരുടെ ആത്മാവു നിന്നില് ഉണ്ടെന്നും ഒരു രഹസ്യവും നിനക്കു വിഷമമല്ലെന്നും ഞാന് അറിയുന്നതുകൊണ്ടു ഞാന് കണ്ട സ്വപ്നത്തിന്റെ താല്പര്യവും അര്ത്ഥവും പറക.

9. నేను ఈ విధంగా చెప్పాను: “బెలైషాజరూ! ఇంద్ర జాలికులందరిలో నీవు చాలా ముఖ్యుడివి. పరిశుద్ధ దేవుళ్ళ ఆత్మ నీలో ఉన్నట్లు నాకు తెలుసు. ఏ రహస్యమూ నీకు తెలుసుకోవడం కష్టంకాదు. ఇది నేను (కన్నకల) దాని అర్థమేమిటో చెప్పుము.

10. കിടക്കയില്വെച്ചു എനിക്കു ഉണ്ടായ ദര്ശനമാവിതുഭൂമിയുടെ നടുവില് ഞാന് ഒരു വൃക്ഷം കണ്ടു; അതു ഏറ്റവും ഉയരമുള്ളതായിരുന്നു.

10. నేను నా పడక మీద ఉండగా ఈ దర్శనం నేను చూశాను. నా యెదుట భూమి మధ్యలో ఒక వృక్షం ఉంది. అది చాలా ఎత్తైనది.

11. ആ വൃക്ഷം വളര്ന്നു ബലപ്പെട്ടു; അതു ആകാശത്തോളം ഉയരമുള്ളതും സര്വ്വഭൂമിയുടെയും അറ്റത്തോളം കാണാകുന്നതും ആയിരുന്നു.

11. ఆ చెట్టు ఏపుగా దృఢంగా పెరిగింది. ఆ చెట్టు పైభాగం ఆకాశాన్ని అంటిందా అన్నట్లున్నది. భూమిమీద ఎక్కడినుంచ యినా ఆ చెట్టుని చూడవచ్చు.

12. അതിന്റെ ഇല ഭംഗിയുള്ളതും ഫലം അനവധിയും ആയിരുന്നു; എല്ലാവര്ക്കും അതില് ആഹാരം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു; കാട്ടുമൃഗങ്ങള് അതിന്റെ കീഴെ തണലിളെച്ചുവന്നു; ആകാശത്തിലെ പക്ഷികള് അതിന്റെ കൊമ്പുകളില് വസിച്ചു; സകലജഡവും അതുകൊണ്ടു ഉപജീവനം കഴിച്ചുപോന്നു.
മത്തായി 13:32, മർക്കൊസ് 4:32, ലൂക്കോസ് 13:19

12. ఆ చెట్టు ఆకులు చాలా అందమైనవి. దాని మీద చాలా పళ్లు ఉన్నాయి. అవి అందరికీ ఆహారంగా ఉన్నాయి. భూజంతువులకు చెట్టుక్రింద నీడ లభించింది. దాని కొమ్మలలో పక్షులు ఉన్నవి. ప్రతీ జీవి ఆ చెట్టునుండి పోషింటబడింది.

13. കിടക്കയില്വെച്ചു എനിക്കു ഉണ്ടായ ദര്ശനത്തില് ഒരു ദൂതന് , ഒരു പരിശുദ്ധന് തന്നേ, സ്വര്ഗ്ഗത്തില്നിന്നു ഇറങ്ങിവരുന്നതു ഞാന് കണ്ടു.

13. నేను నా పడక మీదనే పడుకొని నా దర్శనంలో కావలివానివలె పరలోకంనుంచి ఒక పవిత్రుడు క్రిందికి రావడం చూశాను.

14. അവന് ഉച്ചത്തില് വിളിച്ചുപറഞ്ഞതുവൃക്ഷം വെട്ടിയിട്ടു, അതിന്റെ കൊമ്പു മുറിച്ചു, ഇല കുടഞ്ഞു, കായി ചിതറിച്ചുകളവിന് ; അതിന്റെ കീഴില്നിന്നു മൃഗങ്ങളും കൊമ്പുകളില്നിന്നു പക്ഷികളും പൊയ്ക്കൊള്ളട്ടെ.

14. అతను చాలా బిగ్గరగా మాట్లాడాడు, ‘చెట్టును నరికి వేయండి. చెట్టుకొమ్మల్ని నరికి వేయండి. దాని ఆకులను, దాని పండ్లని త్రుంచి పారవేయండి. చెట్టుకిందవున్న జంతువుల్ని తోలివేయండి. దాని కొమ్మల మీదవున్న పక్షుల్ని ఎగిరి పోనివ్వండి.

15. അതിന്റെ തായ് വേരോ വയലിലെ ഇളമ്പുല്ലില് ഇരിമ്പും താമ്രവുംകൊണ്ടുള്ള ബന്ധനത്തോടെ ഭൂമിയില് വെച്ചേക്കുവിന് ; അവന് ആകാശത്തിലെ മഞ്ഞുകൊണ്ടു നനയട്ടെ; അവന്നു മൃഗങ്ങളോടുകൂടെ നിലത്തെ പുല്ലു ഉപജീവനം ആയിരിക്കട്ടെ.

15. కాని దాని మొద్దును వేళ్లతో సహాభూమిలోనే ఉండనివ్వండి. దాని చుట్టూ ఇనుమూ కంచు కలిసిన ఒక బద్దీ వేయండి. చెట్టుమొద్దు, వ్రేళ్లు పొలంలో పెరిగే గడ్డి మధ్యలో భూమిలోనే ఉండినివ్వండి. మంచు చేత దాన్ని తడవ నివ్వండి. అని అతను చెప్పాడు.

16. അവന്റെ മാനുഷസ്വഭാവം മാറി മൃഗസ്വഭാവമായിത്തീരട്ടെ; അങ്ങനെ അവന്നു ഏഴു കാലം കഴിയട്ടെ.

16. ఇక మీదట అతను మనిషిలా ఆలోచించడు. అతనికి జంతువుల బుద్ధి వస్తుంది. ఏడు కాలాలు (సంవత్సరాలు) అతని మీదగా గడుస్తాయి.’

17. അത്യുന്നതനായവന് മനുഷ്യരുടെ രാജത്വത്തിന്മേല് വാഴുകയും അതിനെ തനിക്കു ബോധിച്ചവന്നു കൊടുക്കയും മനുഷ്യരില് അധമനായവനെ അതിന്മേല് വാഴിക്കയും ചെയ്യുന്നു എന്നു ജീവനോടിരിക്കുന്നവര് അറിയേണ്ടതിന്നു ഈ വിധി ദൂതന്മാരുടെ നിര്ണ്ണയവും കാര്യം വിശുദ്ധന്മാരുടെ കല്പനയും ആകുന്നു.

17. కావలి దూత ద్వారా ఈ ఆజ్ఞ జారీ అయింది. పరిశుద్ధుల ద్వారా నిర్ణయం జరిగింది. ఇది అంతం వరకు ఉంటుంది. మహోన్నతుడైన దేవుడు మనుష్యుల రాజ్యాలను పరిపాలిస్తున్నాడని భూమి మీద నివసించే మనుష్యులందరు తెలుసుకొనేందుకు వీలవుతుంది. ఆయనకు నచ్చిన ఎవరికైనా దేవుడు ఆ రాజ్యాలను ఇచ్చి వేస్తాడు. ఆ రాజ్యాలను పాలించేందుకు వినయ విధేయతగల వారిని దేవుడు ఎన్నుకుంటాడు!

18. നെബൂഖദ്നേസര്രാജാവായ ഞാന് ഈ സ്വപ്നം കണ്ടു; എന്നാല് ബേല്ത്ത് ശസ്സരേ, എന്റെ രാജ്യത്തിലെ വിദ്വാന്മാര്ക്കും ആര്ക്കും അതിന്റെ അര്ത്ഥം അറിയിപ്പാന് കഴിയായ്കകൊണ്ടു നീ അതിന്റെ അര്ത്ഥം അറിയിച്ചുതരേണം; വിശുദ്ധദേവന്മാരുടെ ആത്മാവു നിന്നില് ഉള്ളതുകൊണ്ടു നീ അതിന്നു പ്രാപ്തനാകുന്നു.

18. ఇదే నెబుకద్నెజరు రాజునైన నేను కన్నకల. ఇప్పుడు బెలైషాజరూ (దానియేలూ) ఈ కల అర్థం చెప్పుము. నా రాజ్యాంలోని వివేకవంతు లెవ్వరూ నాకు ఆ కల అర్థం చెప్పలేకపోయారు. కాని బెలైషాజరూ, నీవు ఆ కల గురించి చెప్పగలవు. ఎందుకంటే నీలో పరిశుద్ధ దేవతల ఆత్మవుంది.

19. അപ്പോള് ബേല്ത്ത് ശസ്സര് എന്നും പേരുള്ള ദാനീയേല് കുറെ നേരത്തേക്കു സ്തംഭിച്ചിരുന്നു; അവര് വിചാരങ്ങളാല് പരവശനായി. രാജാവു അവനോടുബേല്ത്ത് ശസ്സരേ, സ്വപ്നവും അതിന്റെ അര്ത്ഥവുംനിമിത്തം നീ പരവശനാകരുതേ എന്നു കല്പിച്ചു. ബേല്ത്ത ശസ്സര് ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞതുയജമാനനേ, സ്വപ്നം തിരുമനസ്സിലെ ശത്രുക്കള്ക്കും അതിന്റെ അര്ത്ഥം തിരുമനസ്സിലെ വൈരികള്ക്കും ഭവിക്കട്ടെ.

19. తర్వాత దానియేలు (బెలైషాజరు) కొంచెంసేపు చాలా ఆశ్చర్యచకితుడయ్యాడు. ఆలోచిస్తున్న విషయాలు అతన్ని కలత పరచినవి. అందువల్ల రాజు, “బెల్తెషాజరూ! (దానియేలు) ఆ కలగాని, ఆ కలయొక్క అర్థంగాని, నిన్ను కలత చెందనీయకుండును గాక” అని చెప్పాడు. తర్వాత బెల్తెషాజరు (దానియేలు) రాజుతో ఇలా అన్నాడు: “నా రాజా! ఆ కల నీ విరోధులకు జరుగునుగాక! నీ శత్రువులకు ఆ కలయొక్క అర్థము నెరవేరును గాక!

20. വളര്ന്നു ബലപ്പെട്ടതും ആകാശത്തോളം ഉയരമുള്ളതും ഭൂമിയില് എല്ലാടത്തുനിന്നും കാണാകുന്നതും

20.

21. ഭംഗിയുള്ള ഇലയും അനവധി ഫലവും എല്ലാവര്ക്കും ആഹാരവും ഉള്ളതും കീഴെ കാട്ടുമൃഗങ്ങള് വസിച്ചതും കൊമ്പുകളില് ആകാശത്തിലെ പക്ഷികള്ക്കു പാര്പ്പിടം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നതുമായി കണ്ട വൃക്ഷം,
ലൂക്കോസ് 13:19

21.

22. രാജാവേ, വര്ദ്ധിച്ചു ബലവാനായി തീര്ന്നിരിക്കുന്ന തിരുമേനി തന്നേ; തിരുമനസ്സിലെ മഹത്വം വര്ദ്ധിച്ചു ആകാശംവരെയും ആധിപത്യം ഭൂമിയുടെ അറുതിവരെയും എത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു.

22. రాజా. నీవే ఆ వృక్షానివి. నీవు మహా శక్తిమంతుడవయ్యావు. ఆకాశాన్ని అంటిన ఉన్నత వృక్షంవంటి వాడవు నీవు. నీ అధికారం భూమిమీద దూర భాగాలకు కూడా వ్యాపించింది.”

23. ഒരു ദൂതന് , ഒരു പരിശുദ്ധന് തന്നേ സ്വര്ഗ്ഗത്തില്നിന്നു ഇറങ്ങിവന്നുവൃക്ഷത്തെ വെട്ടിയിട്ടു നശിപ്പിച്ചുകളവിന് ; എങ്കിലും അതിന്റെ തായ് വേര് വയലിലെ ഇളമ്പുല്ലില് ഇരിമ്പും താമ്രവും കൊണ്ടുള്ള ബന്ധനത്തോടുകൂടെ ഭൂമിയില് വെച്ചേക്കുവിന് ; അവന് ആകാശത്തിലെ മഞ്ഞുകൊണ്ടു നനയട്ടെ; അവന്നു ഏഴുകാലം കഴിയുന്നതുവരെ അവന്റെ ഉപജീവനം കാട്ടുമൃഗങ്ങളോടു കൂടെ ആയിരിക്കട്ടെ എന്നിങ്ങനെ പറയുന്നതു രാജാവു കണ്ടുവല്ലോ.

23. “రాజా, పరలోకంనుంచి ఒక పవిత్ర కావలి దేవదూత క్రిందికి రావడం నీవు చూశావు. అతడు ఇలా అన్నాడు:’చెట్టుని నరికివేయుము; నాశనం చేయుము. ఇనుము కంచు బద్దీతో కట్టబడి, పొలంలోని గడ్డి మధ్య నాటబడిన ఆ మొద్దును ప్రేళ్ళతో సహా భూమిలోనే విడిచిపెట్టు. ఏడు కాలాలు (సంవత్సరాలు) అతను మంచుకు తడుస్తూ మృగంవలె జీవస్తాడు.’

24. രാജാവേ, അതിന്റെ അര്ത്ഥം ഇതാകുന്നു; എന്റെ യജമാനനായ രാജാവിന്റെമേല് വരുന്ന അത്യുന്നതനായവന്റെ വിധി ഇതു തന്നേ;

24. “రాజా, కలయొక్క అర్థం ఇదే. మహోన్నతుడైన దేవుడు ఇవి జరుగుతాయని నా రాజువైన నీకు ఆజ్ఞాపించాడు.

25. തിരുമേനിയെ മനുഷ്യരുടെ ഇടയില്നിന്നു നീക്കിക്കളയും; തിരുമനസ്സിലെ വാസം കാട്ടുമൃഗങ്ങളോടുകൂടെയാകും. തിരുമേനിയെ കാളയെപ്പോലെ പുല്ലു തീറ്റും; തിരുമേനി ആകാശത്തിലെ മഞ്ഞുകൊണ്ടു നനയും; മനുഷ്യരുടെ രാജത്വത്തിന്മേല് അത്യുന്നതനായവന് വാഴുകയും അതിനെ തനിക്കു ബോധിച്ചവന്നു കൊടുക്കയും ചെയ്യുന്നുവെന്നു തിരുമനസ്സുകൊണ്ടു അറിയുന്നതുവരെ ഏഴു കാലം കഴിയും.

25. నెబుకద్నెజరు రాజా, నీ ప్రజలనుంచి దూరంగా నీవు తరుమబడుతావు. భూజంతువుల మధ్య నీవు నివసిస్తావు. ఎద్దువలె నీవు పచ్చిక తింటావు. నీవు మంచుచేత తడుస్తావు. అలా ఏడు కాలాలు (సంవత్సరాలు) గడిచి పోతాయి. అప్పుడు నీవీపాఠం నేర్చుకుంటావు - మహోన్నతుడైన దేవుడు మనుష్యుల రాజ్యాలను పరిపాలిస్తున్నాడనియు, తనకు నచ్చిన ఎవనికైనా రాజ్యాలను ఇచ్చివేస్తాడనియు నీవు తెలుసుకుంటావు.

26. വൃക്ഷത്തിന്റെ തായ് വേര് വെച്ചേക്കുവാന് അവര് കല്പിച്ചതോവാഴുന്നതു സ്വര്ഗ്ഗമാകുന്നു എന്നു തിരുമനസ്സുകൊണ്ടു ഗ്രഹിച്ചശേഷം രാജത്വം തിരുമേനിക്കു സ്ഥിരമാകും എന്നത്രേ.

26. “చెట్టు మొద్దు, వ్రేళ్లనీ నేలలోనే ఉంచుము అని ఇవ్వబడిన ఆజ్ఞకు అర్థమిది: మహోన్నతుడైన ఆ దేవుడే మనుష్యుల రాజ్యాలను పరిపాలిస్తున్నాడన్న విషయం నీవు తెలుసుకున్నప్పుడు, నీ రాజ్యం నీకు ఇవ్వ బడుతుంది.

27. ആകയാല് രാജാവേ, എന്റെ ആലോചന തിരുമനസ്സിലേക്കു പ്രസാദമായിരിക്കട്ടെ; നീതിയാല് പാപങ്ങളെയും ദരിദ്രന്മാര്ക്കും കൃപകാട്ടുന്നതിനാല് അകൃത്യങ്ങളെയും പരിഹരിച്ചുകൊള്ക; അതിനാല് പക്ഷേ തിരുമനസ്സിലെ സുഖകാലം ദീര്ഘമായി നിലക്കും.

27. అందువల్ల, రాజా, నా సమహాని స్వీకరించుము. పాపం చేయడం ఆపివేయుము. సరి యైనదేదో అదే జరిగించుము. చెడు విషయాలు చేయడం ఆపివేయుము. బీదవారిపట్ల దయగలిగి ఉండుము. అప్పుడు నీవు క్రమంగా విజయాన్ని పొందగలవు.”

28. ഇതെല്ലാം നെബൂഖദ് നേസര്രാജാവിന്നു വന്നു ഭവിച്ചു.

28. నెబుకద్నెజరు రాజుకి ఆ ఘటనలన్నీ జరిగినవి.

29. പന്ത്രണ്ടു മാസം കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടു അവന് ബാബേലിലെ രാജമന്ദിരത്തിന്മേല് ഉലാവിക്കൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.

29.

30. ഇതു ഞാന് എന്റെ ധനമാഹാത്മ്യത്താല് എന്റെ പ്രതാപമഹത്വത്തിന്നായിട്ടു രാജധാനിയായി പണിത മഹതിയാം ബാബേല് അല്ലയോ എന്നു രാജാവു പറഞ്ഞുതുടങ്ങി.
വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 14:8, വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 16:19, വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 17:5, വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 18:2-10

30.

31. ഈ വാക്കു രാജാവിന്റെ വായില് ഇരിക്കുമ്പോള് തന്നേ, സ്വര്ഗ്ഗത്തില്നിന്നു ഒരു ശബ്ദം ഉണ്ടായതെന്തെന്നാല്നെബൂഖദ് നേസര്രാജാവേ, നിന്നോടു ഇതു കല്പിക്കുന്നുരാജത്വം നിന്നെ വിട്ടു നീങ്ങിയിരിക്കുന്നു.

31. అతని మాటలు ఇంకా అతని నోటిలోనే ఉండగా, ఆకాశమునుంచి ఒక స్వరం వినిపించింది. “నెబుకద్నెజరు రాజా, ఈ మాటలు నీకోసమే: నీ వద్దనుంచి నీ అధికారం తీసివేయబడింది.

32. നിന്നെ മനുഷ്യരുടെ ഇടയില്നിന്നു നീക്കിക്കളയും; നിന്റെ പാര്പ്പു കാട്ടിലെ മൃഗങ്ങളോടുകൂടെ ആയിരിക്കും; നിന്നെ കാളയെപ്പോലെ പുല്ലു തീറ്റും; അത്യുന്നതനായവന് മനുഷ്യരുടെ രാജത്വത്തിന്മേല് വാഴുകയും അതിനെ തനിക്കു ബോധിച്ചവന്നു കൊടുക്കയും ചെയ്യുന്നു എന്നു നീ അറിയുന്നതുവരെ നിനക്കു ഏഴു കാലം കഴിയും.

32. ప్రజలనుండి నీవు తరిమి వేయబడతావు. భూజంతువులతో మేస్తావు. నీవు గుణపాఠం నేర్చుకునేలోగా ఏడు కాలాలు (సంవత్సరాలు) గడిచి పోతాయి. అప్పుడు మనుష్యుల రాజ్యాలను సర్వోన్నతుడైన దేవుడు పరిపాలిస్తాడనియు, తనకు నచ్చిన వానికి రాజ్యాలు ఇస్తాడనియు నీవు తెలుసుకుంటావు.”

33. ഉടന് തന്നേ ആ വാക്കു നെബൂഖദ് നേസരിന്നു നിവൃത്തിയായി; അവനെ മനുഷ്യരുടെ ഇടയില് നിന്നു നീക്കിക്കളഞ്ഞു; അവന്റെ രോമം കഴുകന്റെ തൂവല്പോലെയും അവന്റെ നഖം പക്ഷിയുടെ നഖംപോലെയും വളരുന്നതുവരെ, അവന് കാള എന്നപോലെ പുല്ലു തിന്നുകയും അവന്റെ ദേഹം ആകാശത്തിലെ മഞ്ഞുകൊണ്ടു നനയുകയും ചെയ്തു.

33. ఆ విషయాలు వెంటనే జరిగాయి. నెబుకద్నెరును ప్రజలు తమ మధ్యనుండి తరిమివేశారు. అతడు ఎద్దువలె పచ్చిక వేయ సాగాడు. ఆకాశ మంచుచేత అతని దేహం తడిసింది. గ్రద్ద ఈకలవలె అతని గోళ్లు పొడుగ్గా పెరిగాయి.

34. ആ കാലം കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടു നെബൂഖദ്നേസര് എന്ന ഞാന് സ്വര്ഗ്ഗത്തേക്കു കണ്ണുയര്ത്തി എന്റെ ബുദ്ധിയും എനിക്കു മടങ്ങിവന്നു; ഞാന് അത്യുന്നതനായവനെ വാഴ്ത്തി, എന്നേക്കും ജീവിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നവനെ സ്മരിച്ചു ബഹുമാനിക്കയും ചെയ്തു; അവന്റെ ആധിപത്യം എന്നേക്കുമുള്ള ആധിപത്യവും അവന്റെ രാജത്വം തലമുറതലമുറയായുള്ളതും അല്ലോ.
വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 4:9-10

34. ఆ యేడేళ్ల కాలం పూర్తి కాగానే, నెబుకద్నెజరు అను నేను ఆకాశంవైపు కన్నెత్తి చూశాను. మళ్లీ నాకు మానవబుద్ది లభించింది. అప్పుడు మహోన్నతుడైన దేవున్ని నేను కీర్తించాను. ఎల్లాకాలము నివసించే ఆయనను గౌరవించి, ఇలా ప్రశంసించాను: ఆయన పరిపాలన శాశ్వతమైనది, తరతరాలకు ఆయన రాజ్యం కొనసాగుతుంది.

35. അവന് സര്വ്വഭൂവാസികളെയും നാസ്തിയായി എണ്ണുന്നു; സ്വര്ഗ്ഗീയ സൈന്യത്തോടും ഭൂവാസികളോടും ഇഷ്ടംപോലെ പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കുന്നു; അവന്റെ കൈ തടുപ്പാനോ നീ എന്തു ചെയ്യുന്നു എന്നു അവനാടു ചോദിപ്പാനോ ആര്ക്കും കഴികയില്ല.

35. భూమిమీద మనుష్యులు ఆయన ఎదుట లెక్క లేనివారికి సమానము. దేవుడు పరలోకలమందలి సైన్యాలకు, భూమిమీది మనుష్యులకు తనకు ఇష్టము వచ్చినట్లు చేస్తాడు. ఎవ్వరూ ఆయన శక్తివంతమైన హస్తాన్ని ఆపలేరు. ఎవ్వరూ ఆయన చేసే పనుల్ని ప్రశ్నించలేరు.

36. ആ നേരത്തു തന്നേ എന്റെ ബുദ്ധി മടങ്ങിവന്നു; എന്റെ രാജത്വത്തിന്റെ മഹത്വത്തിന്നായി എന്റെ മഹിമയും മുഖപ്രകാശവും മടങ്ങിവന്നു; എന്റെ മന്ത്രിമാരും മഹത്തുക്കളും എന്നെ അന്വേഷിച്ചു; ഞാന് എന്റെ രാജത്വത്തില് യഥാസ്ഥാനപ്പെട്ടു, ശ്രേഷ്ഠമഹത്വം എനിക്കു അധികമായി സിദ്ധിച്ചു.

36. అందువల్ల, ఆ సమయాన, దేవుడు నాకు సరి అయిన బుద్ధిని ప్రసాదించాడు. రాజుగా అధిక గౌరవం, శక్తిని నాకు తిరిగి ఇచ్చాడు. మరల నా సలహాదారులు రాజపురుషులు నా సలహా అడగ సాగారు. నేను మళ్లీ రాజుని అయ్యాను. పూర్వం కంటె ఎక్కువ శక్తి ఎక్కువ గొప్పతనం నాకు వచ్చాయి.

37. ഇപ്പോള് നെബൂഖദ്നേസര് എന്ന ഞാന് സ്വര്ഗ്ഗസ്ഥനായ രാജാവിനെ സ്തുതിച്ചു പകഴ്ത്തി ബഹുമാനിക്കുന്നു; അവന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തികള് ഒക്കെയും സത്യവും അവന്റെ വഴികള് ന്യായവും ആകുന്നു; നിഗളിച്ചുനടക്കുന്നവരെ താഴ്ത്തുവാനും അവന് പ്രാപ്തന് തന്നേ.
യോഹന്നാൻ 4:48

37. ఇప్పుడు, నెబుకద్నెజరు అను నేను పరలోక మందున్న రాజుని కీర్తిస్తున్నాను, గౌరవిస్తున్నాను. ఆయన చేసే ప్రతిది సరి అయినదే. ఆయన ఎప్పుడూ న్యాయంగానే ఉంటాడు. గర్విష్ఠులను ఆయన అణగ ద్రొక్కుతాడు.
