Daniel in E-Prime with Interlinear Hebrew in IPA

NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation

E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all “to be” verbs (is,

are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the “is of identity” (instead of “John

is a teacher,” we use “John teaches.”), the “is of predication” (instead of “The apple is sweet,”

we use “The apple tastes sweet.”), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of

“Blessed is the man,” we use “God blesses the man.”). By performing these linguistic

procedures, we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.

Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers

The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet and

Elmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic

Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with

borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is

100% phonetic, while the English alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only 60%

phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration schemes are also hit and miss.

Using the pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the most stable

elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will cause trouble

continually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end English speakers as

they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew texts.

in every branch of wisdom, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and

who had ability for serving in the king's court; and he ordered him to teach them the

literature and language of the Chaldeans.

8But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king's choice food or

10and the commander of the officials said to Daniel, "I fear my lord the king, who has

appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces looking more

haggard than the youths who have reached your own age? Then you would make me

forfeit my head to the king."

1 Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and

4Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic: "O king, live forever! Tell the dream to

your servants, and we will declare the interpretation."

Then spoke the Chaldeans to the king in Syriac O king forever! live tell

the dream your servants and the interpretation we will show.

5The king replied to the Chaldeans, "The command from me remains firm: if you do not make

known to me the dream and its interpretation, I will command someone to tear you limb

from limb and make your houses a rubbish heap.

will declare the interpretation."

8The king replied, "I know for certain that you bargain for time, inasmuch as you have seen

that the command from me remains firm,

answered The king and said of certainty know I [am] that the time you

9that if you do not make the dream known to me, you have only one decree for you. For you

have agreed together to speak lying and corrupt words before me until the situation haschanged; therefore tell me the dream, that I may know that you can declare to me its

interpretation."

10The Chaldeans answered the king and said, "No man on earth could declare the matter for

the king, inasmuch as no great king or ruler has ever asked anything like this of any

magician, conjurer or Chaldean.

11"Moreover, the thing which the king demands seems difficult, and no one else who could

declare it to the king except gods, who do not dwell with mortal flesh."

12Because of this the king became indignant and very furious and gave orders to destroy all the

wise men of Babylon.

might declare the interpretation to the king.

24Therefore, Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men

of Babylon; he went and spoke to him as follows: "Do not destroy the wise men of

Babylon! Take me into the king's presence, and I will declare the interpretation to theking."

36"At that time my reason returned to me and my majesty and splendor became restored to me
