CHAP. I.

[graphic]
[graphic]

ND the Lorde delivered Jehoachim the kyng of Juda into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God.

4 Springaldes without any blemishe, but well favoured.

CHAP. II.

2 Then the kyng commanded to call the wyse men and soothsayers, and sorcerers, and the Chaldees, for to showe the kyng his dreame.

5 If ye wil not make mee understande the dreame with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be drawne in peeces, and your houses made a jakes.

13 So the decree went foorth, and the wise men were slain: they sought also to slay Daniel, with his companions.

27 Daniel aunswered in the presence of the king, and sayde: As for thys secrete for the which the king maketh this inquisition, there can neyther the men of understanding, nor soothsayers, nor the wyse men, nor readers of destinies, declare it unto the king,

31 Thou king sawest, and behold, there was a great image this greate image, whose brightnesse was excellent, stood before thee, and the form thereof was terrible.

32 This images heade was of fine golde, his breast and armes of silver, his belly and his thighes of brass.

43 And whereas thou sawest yron mixt with claye and earthe, they shall myngle themselves with the seede of man, and yet not joyne one with another, as iron will not be mixt with clay.

CHAP. III.

4 Then an heralde cryed aloude.

25 And the forme of the fourth is like the sonne of God. 29 Shall be drawne in peeces, and their houses shall be made a jakes.

CHAP. IV.

2 Then the king commanded to call the inchanters, and the astrologians, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams:

5 If ye will not make me understande the dreame with the interpretation thereof, yee shall be drawen in pieces, and your houses shall be made a jakes.

13 And when sentance was given, the wise men were slaine, and they sought Daniel and his fellowes to be put to death.

27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king and said, The secret which the king hath demanded, can neither the wise, the astrologians, the inchanters, nor the soothsayers, declare unto the king.

31 O king thou sawest and beholde, there was a great image: this great image whose glory was so excellent, stood before thee, and the forme thereof was terrible.

32 This images head was of fine gold, his breast and his armes of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass.

43 And whereas thou sawest yron mixt with clay, and earth, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not joyne one with another, as yron cannot be mixed with clay.

CHAP. III.

4 Then an herald cried aloud.

25 And the forme of the fourth is like the sonne of God. 29 Shall be drawen in pieces, and their houses shall be made a jakes;

CHAP. IV.

7 So came the inchanters, the astrologians, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers;

9 O Belteshazzar, chiefe of the inchanters,

CHAP. II.

2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams :

5 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.

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

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.

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 images head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixt 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.

CHAP. III.

4 Then an herald cried aloud.

25 And the form of the fourth is like the son of God. 29 Shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill;

CHAP. IV.

7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers:

9 Ó Belteshazzar master of the magicians,

[blocks in formation]

D Upon this I herde one of the sayntes speakinge, which saynte sayde unto one that asked this questyon: how longe shall this vysyon of the daylye sacrifice and of the wastyng abomynacyon endure that the sanctuary and the power shall so be troden under fote?

E Now as he was speakinge unto me, I waxed faynte, so that I suncke downe to the grounde.

F And this vysion that is shewed unto thee is as sure as the evening and the morning. Therfore write thou up this sight, for it wylbe longe or it come to passe.

CHAP. IX.

G Understande thys then and marcke it well: that from the tyme it shall be concluded, to go and repayre Jerusalem agayne unto Christ (or the anoynted) prynce: there shall be seven wekes. Then shall the stretes and walles be buylded agayne LXII wekes, but with hard troublous tyme. After these LXII wekes, shall Christ be slayne, and they shall have no pleasure in hym. Then shall there come a people wyth the Prince, and destroye the citie, and the sanctuary: and hys ende shall come as the water floud. But the desolacyon shall contynue tyll the ende of the battell.

He shall make a stronge bonde with many, for the space of a weke and when the weke is half gone, he shall put downe the slayne and meat offeringe. And in the temple. there shall be anabomynable desolacyon, tyllit have destroyed all. And it is concluded that this wastyng shall contynue unto the ende.

CHAP. X.

I was by the greate floude, called Tigris.

CHAP. XI.

:

D So he that came upon him and dyd hym violence, shall stande in hys place, and have a pleasaunt kyngdome and after few dayes he shall be destroyed, and that nether in wrath, nor in battell.

G He shall not regarde the God of hys fathers, but hys lust shall be upon wemen: Yee he shall not care for any god, for he shall magnifye hymselfe above all. In his place shall he worshype the myghtye idols: And the god whom his fathers knewe not, shall he honour wyth gold and sylver, with precyous stones and pleasaunt jewels.

Thys shall he do, seekynge helpe and succoure at the mightie idols and strange goddes. Soch as wyll receive hym and take hym for God. He shall geve them great worshype and power, yee and make them Lordes of the multytud, and geve them the landes with rewardes.

CHAP. V.

25 And this is the wryting that he hath written: MENE, MENE, THECEL, UPHRASIN.

26 Nowe the interpretation of the thyng is this: MENE, God hath numbred thy kingdome, and brought it to an ende. 27 THECEL, Thou art wayed in the balance, and art founde wantyng.

28 PHERES, Thy kingdome is divided, and gyven to the Medes and Perses.

CHAP. VII.

9 I behelde till the thrones were set up, and the auncient of dayes did syt:

CHAP. VIII.

13 Upon this, I heard one of the saintes speaking, and one of the saintes speake unto Pulmoni, saying, Howe longe shall the vision of the dayly (sacrifice) and of the iniquitie of desolation (indure) to give both the sanctuarie and the power to be troden under foote:

18 Now as he was speaking unto me, I fell in a slumber upon my face to the ground:

26 And the vision of the evening and the morning, which is declared, is true: therefore seale thou up the vision, for it shall be after many dayes.

CHAP. IX.

25 Know therefore, and understand that from the goyng foorthe of the commandemente, to bring agayne the (people,) and to builde Hierusalem unto Messiah the prince, there shall be seaven weekes, and threescore and two weekes, and the streete shal be built agayne, and the wall, (even) in the straitenesse of tyme.

26 After these threescore and two weekes, shall Messiah be slayne, and not for hymselfe : and the people of the prince that shall come, shall destroy the citie and the sanctuarie, and the end thereof shal be with a floodde, and unto the ende of the battayle, it shall be destroyed by desolations.

27 He shall confirme the covenaunt wyth many for one weeke, and in the middest of the weeke, he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to ceasse, and for the overspreading of the abhominations, he shall make it desolate, (even) untill the consummation determined, shall be powred uppon the desolate.

CHAP. X.

4 I was by the syde of the great ryver, (even) Hiddekel.

CHAP. XI.

20 Then shall stand up in his place a raiser of taxes (in) the glory of the kingdome, and after a few dayes he shall be destroyed, neyther in wrath nor in battayle.

37 He shall not regard the God of hys fathers, nor the desyres of women yea he shall not care for any God: for he shall magnifye himselfe above all.

38 But in his place shall he honoure the god Mauzzim, and the god whome his fathers knewe not, shall he honoure with golde and sylver, with pretious stones, and pleasant things.

39 Thus shall he doe in the holdes of Mauzzim, with a strange God whome he shall acknowledge, he shall encrease his glory, and shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gayne.

13 Then I heard one of the saints speaking, and one of the saints spake unto a certaine one saying, How long shall endure the vision of the dayly sacrifice, and the iniquity of the desolation, to treade both the sanctuary and the armie under foote?

18 Now as he was speaking unto me, I being asleepe, fell on my face to the ground.

26 And the vision of the evening and the morning, which is declared is true: therefore seale thou up the vision, for it shall be after many dayes.

4 As I was by the side of that great river even Hiddekel. CHAP. XI.

20 Then shall stand up in his place in the glorie of the kingdome, one that shall raise taxes: but after few dayes hee shall bee destroyed, neither in wrath nor in battel.

37 Neither shall hee regard the God of his fathers, nor the desires of women, nor care for any God: for hee shall magnifie himselfe above all.

38 But in his place shall he honour the god Mauzzim, and the god whom his fathers knew not, shall hee honour with gold and with silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

39 Thus shall he doe in the holdes of Mauzzim with a strange god whom hee shall acknowledge: he shall increase his glory, and shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gayne.

CHAP. V.

25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

CHAP. VII.

9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit.

CHAP. VIII.

13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

18 Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground.

26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

CHAP. IX.

25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem, unto the Messiah the prince, shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacri fice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

CHAP. X.

4 As I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel. СНАР. ХІ.

20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
