Daniel 4:34
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 honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
KJV
Nunc igitur, ego Nabuchodonosor laudo, et magnifico, et glorifico regem cæli : quia omnia opera ejus vera, et viæ ejus judicia, et gradientes in superbia potest humiliare.
Vulgate
τῷ ὑψίστῳ ἀνθομολογοῦμαι καὶ αἰνῶ, τῷ κτίσαντι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὰς θαλάσσας καὶ τοὺς ποταμοὺς καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐξομολογοῦμαι καὶ αἰνῶ· ὅτι αὐτός ἐστι θεὸς τῶν θεῶν καὶ κύριος τῶν κυρίων καὶ βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλέων, ὅτι αὐτὸς ποιεῖ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα καὶ ἀλλοιοῖ καιροὺς καὶ χρόνους, ἀφαιρῶν βασιλείαν βασιλέων καὶ καθιστῶν ἑτέρους ἀντ’ αὐτῶν. [1] ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν αὐτῷ λατρεύσω, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου αὐτοῦ τρόμος εἴληφέ με, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους αἰνῶ· οἱ γὰρ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἰσχὺν ἀποστρέψαι βασιλείαν βασιλέως εἰς ἕτερον βασιλέα, καὶ ἀποκτεῖναι καὶ ζῇν ποιῆσαι, καὶ ποιῆσαι σημεῖα καὶ θαυμάσια μεγάλα καὶ φοβερὰ καὶ ἀλλοιῶσαι ὑπερμεγέθη πράγματα, καθὼς ἐποίησεν ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἠλλοίωσεν ἐπ’ ἐμοὶ μεγάλα πράγματα. ἐγὼ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς βασιλείας μου περὶ τῆς ψυχῆς μου τῷ ὑψίστῳ θυσίας προσοίσω εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας τῷ κυρίῳ, καὶ τὸ ἀρεστὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ποιήσω ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ λαός μου, τὸ ἔθνος καὶ αἱ χῶραί μου αἱ ἐν τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ μου. καὶ ὅσοι ἐλάλησαν εἰς τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ὅσοι ἂν καταληφθῶσι λαλοῦντές τι, τούτους κατακρινῶ θανάτῳ. [2] Ἔγραψε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ἐπιστολὴν ἐγκύκλιον πᾶσι τοῖς κατὰ τόπον ἔθνεσι καὶ χώραις καὶ γλώσσαις πάσαις ταῖς οἰκούσαις ἐν πάσαις ταῖς χώραις, γενεαῖς καὶ γενεαῖς. Κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αἰνεῖτε, καὶ θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν προσφέρετε αὐτῷ ἐνδόξως. ἐγὼ βασιλεὺς βασιλέων ἀνθομολογοῦμαι αὐτῷ ἐνδόξως, ὅτι οὕτως ἐποίησε μετ’ ἐμοῦ· ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκάθισέ με ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου καὶ τῆς ἐξουσίας μου καὶ τῆς βασιλείας μου· ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου ἐκράτησα καὶ ἡ μεγαλωσύνη μου ἀποκατεστάθη μοι. [3] Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ βασιλεὺς πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ πάσαις ταῖς χώραις καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς οἰκοῦσιν αὐταῖς· εἰρήνη ὑμῖν πληθυνθείη ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ. καὶ νῦν ὑποδείξω ὑμῖν τὰς πράξεις ἃς ἐποίησεν μετ’ ἐμοῦ ὁ θεὸς ὁ μέγας· ἔδοξε δέ μοι ἀποδεῖξαι ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς σοφισταῖς ὑμῶν ὅτι ἔστι θεός, καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ μεγάλα· τὸ βασίλειον αὐτοῦ βασίλειον εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ γενεῶν εἰς γενεάς. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐπιστολὰς περὶ πάντων τῶν γενηθέντων αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσι τοῖς οὖσιν ὑπὸ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ.
