# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Verses 19-33 use the third person to describe the punishment of Nebuchadnezzar. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-123person]])
|
|
|
|
# who was also named Belteshazzar
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "who I also named Belteshazzar" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# was greatly upset for a brief time, and his thoughts alarmed him
|
|
|
|
Daniel's understanding of the meaning of the vision is what alarmed him. This can be explicitly stated. Alternate translation: "did not say anything for a brief time because he was very worried about the meaning of the dream" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# may the dream be for those who hate you; may its interpretation be for your enemies
|
|
|
|
Daniel is expressing his wish that the dream was not about Nebuchadnezzar, even though he knew that it really was about the king.
|
|
|
|
# the dream ... its interpretation
|
|
|
|
The abstract noun "interpretation" can be translated as a verb. See how you translated this in [Daniel 2:4](../02/04.md). Alternate translation: "will interpret the king's dream to him" or "will reveal what the king's dream means" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
