Danieli 5
1 Tsiku lina mfumu Belisazara anakonza phwando lalikulu la akalonga ake 1,000 ndipo anamwa vinyo pamodzi ndi iwo.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Pamene Belisazara ankamwa vinyo, analamula kuti ziwiya zagolide ndi zasiliva zimene Nebukadinezara abambo ake anakatenga mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu zikatengedwe kuti mfumu ndi akalonga ake, akazi ake ndi azikazi amweremo.
Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his wives and his secondary wives, might drink from them.
3 Choncho anabweretsa ziwiya zagolide zimene anazitenga mʼNyumba ya Mulungu; ndipo mfumu ndi akalonga ake, akazi ake ndi azikazi ake anamweramo.
Then they brought the gold and silver vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his secondary wives, drank from them.
4 Akumwa vinyo, anatamanda milungu yagolide ndi siliva, yamkuwa, chitsulo, yamtengo ndi mwala.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Mwadzidzidzi zala za dzanja la munthu zinaonekera ndi kulemba pa khoma, pafupi ndi choyikapo nyale mʼnyumba yaufumu. Mfumu inapenyetsetsa dzanjalo pamene limalemba.
In the same hour came forth the fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Nkhope yake inasandulika ndipo inachita mantha, nkhongono zii, mawondo gwedegwede.
Then the king's face was turned pale, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs gave way, and his knees began knocking together.
7 Mfumu inafuwula kuyitana owombeza, alawuli ndi amawula kuti abwere. Ndipo anawawuza anthu anzeru a ku Babuloni kuti, “Aliyense amene awerenge malembawa ndi kundiwuza tanthauzo lake adzavekedwa chovala cha pepo ndi mkanda wa golide udzavekedwa mʼkhosi mwake, ndipo adzakhala wolamulira wachitatu mu ufumuwu.”
The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever shall read this writing, and show me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
8 Pamenepo anzeru onse a mfumu anabwera, koma sanakwanitse kuwerenga malembawo kapena kumutanthauzira mfumu.
Then came in all the king's wise men; but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
9 Choncho mfumu Belisazara anachita mantha koposa ndipo nkhope yake inapitirira kusinthika. Akalonga ake anathedwa nzeru.
Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his face turned pale, and his lords were perplexed.
10 Mfumukazi, pakumva mawu a mfumu ndi akalonga ake, analowa mʼchipinda cha phwando ndipo anati, “Mfumu mukhale ndi moyo wautali! Musavutike! Nkhope yanu isasinthike!
Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house. The queen spoke and said, "O king, live forever; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.
11 Pali munthu wina mu ufumu wanu uno amene mwa iye muli mzimu wa milungu yoyera. Pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa abambo anu iye anapezeka kuti ali ndi chidziwitso, luntha ndi nzeru zonga za milungu. Mfumu Nebukadinezara, abambo anu, Ine ndikukuwuzani anamusankha iye kukhala mkulu wa amatsenga, owombeza, alawuli ndi amawula.
There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar your father, your father the king, made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and diviners;
12 Munthu ameneyu dzina lake ndi Danieli, koma mfumu inamutcha Belitesezara ndipo ali ndi nzeru zapadera, ndi wodziwa ndi kuzindikira zinthu, ndiponso luso lakutanthauzira maloto, kufotokozera miyambi ndi kuthetsa mavuto osautsa. Muyitaneni Danieli, ndipo adzakuwuzani chomwe mawuwa akutanthauza.”
because an extraordinary spirit, and knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve knotty problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."
13 Choncho anabwera naye Danieli pamaso pa mfumu ndipo inati kwa iye, “Kodi ndiwe Danieli, mmodzi mwa akapolo omwe abambo anga mfumu anabwera nawo kuchoka ku Yuda?
Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Are you that Daniel, who are of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
14 Ndamva kuti mzimu wa milungu uli mwa iwe ndi kuti uli ndi chidziwitso, luntha ndi nzeru zapadera.
I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and extraordinary wisdom are found in you.
15 Anzeru ndi owombeza anabwera pamaso panga kuti awerenge zolembedwazi ndi kundiwuza tanthauzo lake koma sanakwanitse kundifotokozera.
Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.
16 Tsopano ndamva kuti iwe ukhoza kupereka matanthauzo ndi kuthetsa mavuto. Ngati ungawerenge zolembedwazi ndi kundiwuza tanthauzo lake, udzavekedwa chovala cha pepo ndi kuyikidwa mkanda wa golide mʼkhosi mwako, ndipo udzakhala wolamulira wachitatu mu ufumu uno.”
But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations, and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing, and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
17 Pamenepo Danieli anayankha mfumu kuti, “Inu musunge mphatso zanuzo kwa inu nokha ndipo mupereke mphothoyo kwa wina aliyense. Komabe ine ndi kuwerengerani malembawa mfumu; ndikukuwuzani tanthauzo lake.
Then Daniel answered before the king, "Keep your gifts for yourself, and give your rewards to another; Nevertheless I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 “Inu mfumu, Mulungu Wammwambamwamba anapatsa abambo anu Nebukadinezara mphamvu ndi ukulu ndi ulemerero ndi ufumu.
You king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
19 Chifukwa cha udindo waukulu umene anapatsidwanso, anthu onse ndi mitundu ndi anthu aziyankhulo zosiyanasiyana ankanjenjemera ndikumuopa iye. Amene mfumu inafuna anawaphadi; amene inafuna kuwasunga, inawasunga; amene inafuna kuwakweza, inawakweza; ndipo amene inafuna kuwatsitsa, inawatsitsa.
And because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he would he killed, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.
20 Koma pamene inayamba kudzitama ndi kuwumitsa mtima wake ndi kuyamba kunyada, inachotsedwa pa mpando wake waufumu ndi kulandidwa ulemerero wake.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was removed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.
21 Iyo inachotsedwa pakati pa anthu ndi kupatsidwa mtima ngati wa nyama; inakhala pamodzi ndi abulu akutchire ndi kudya udzu ngati ngʼombe; ndipo thupi lake linanyowa ndi mame akumwamba, mpaka pamene anavomereza kuti Mulungu Wammwambamwamba ndiye wolamulira maufumu a anthu ndipo amawupereka kwa aliyense amene Iye wafuna.
And he was driven from the sons of men, and his mind was made like the animals', and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he wants.
22 “Koma inu mwana wake, Belisazara, simunadzichepetse, ngakhale kuti mumadziwa zonsezi.
You his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
23 Mʼmalo mwake, mwadzikweza nokha kutsutsana ndi Ambuye wakumwamba. Inu mwatenga ziwiya za mʼNyumba mwake, ndipo inu ndi akalonga anu, akazi anu ndi azikazi anu mwamwera vinyo mu zimenezi. Inu munatamanda milungu yasiliva ndi golide, yamkuwa, chitsulo, mtengo ndi mwala, imene singaone kapena kumva kapena kuzindikira. Koma simunamupatse ulemu Mulungu amene asunga mʼmanja mwake moyo wanu ndi njira zanu zonse.
but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your secondary wives, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor know. And the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.
24 Choncho Iye watumiza dzanja limene lalemba mawu amenewa.
Then was the part of the hand sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
25 “Mawu amene analembedwa ndi awa: MENE, MENE, TEKELI, PARASINI.
This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 “Zimene mawuwa akutanthauza ndi izi:
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God has numbered your kingdom, and brought it to an end;
27 Tekeli: Inu mwayesedwa pa sikelo ndipo mwapezeka kuti mukuperewera.
TEKEL; you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28 Parasini: Ufumu wanu wagawidwa ndi kupatsidwa kwa Amedi ndi Aperezi.”
PERES; your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."
29 Mwa lamulo la Belisazara, Danieli anavekedwa chovala cha pepo, mkanda wagolide unayikidwa mʼkhosi mwake, ndipo analengeza kuti anali wachitatu mu ulamuliro mu ufumuwo.
Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 Usiku womwewo Belisazara, mfumu ya anthu a ku Babuloni, inaphedwa,
In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
31 ndipo Dariyo Mmedi analanda ufumuwo ali ndi zaka 62.
Daryavesh the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
