Belteshazzar
This was the name the Babylonians gave to Daniel. See how you translated this name in Daniel 1:7.
you are able to do so
"you are able to interpret it"
the spirit of the holy gods
Nebuchadnezzar believed that Daniel's power came from the false gods that Nebuchadnezzar worshiped. These are not the same as "the holy ones" in verse 17. See how you translated this phrase in Daniel 4:8.
I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had this dream. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation
The abstract noun "interpretation" can be translated as a verb. See how you translated this in Daniel 2:4. 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) The abstract noun "interpretation" can be translated as a verb. See how you translated them in Daniel 2:5. Alternate translation: "I, King Nebuchadnezzar, dreamed this. Now you, Belteshazzar, interpret it for me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns)
