Daniel 5
1 Baltasar the king made a great supper for his thousand nobles, and [there was] wine before the thousand.
Belsazara mpanjaka nanao fanasana lehibe ho an’ ny mpanolo-tsainy arivo lahy, ary teo anatrehan’ ireny no nisotroany divay.
2 And Baltasar drinking gave orders as he tasted the wine that they should bring the gold and silver vessels, which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought forth from the temple in Jerusalem; that the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, should drink out of them.
Nony efa nisotro divay Belsazara, dia nasainy nalaina ny fanaka volamena sy volafotsy izay nalain’ i Nebokadnezara rainy avy tao amin’ ny tempoly tany Jerosalema, mba hisotroan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanolotsainy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny vaditsindranony.
3 So the gold and silver vessels were brought which [Nabuchodonosor] had taken out of the temple of God in Jerusalem; and the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, drank out of them.
Dia nentiny ny fanaka volamena izay nalaina avy teo amin’ ny tempolin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra tany Jerosalema, ary ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanolo-tsainy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny vaditsindranony nisotro taminy.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
Eny, nisotro divay izy sady nankalaza ny andriamanitra volamena sy volafotsy sy varahina sy vy sy hazo ary vato.
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote in front of the lamp on the plaster of the wall of the king’s house: and the king saw the knuckles of the hand that wrote.
Tamin’ izay dia nisy rantsan-tànan’ olona niseho ka nanoratra tandrifin’ ny jiro tamin’ ny lalotra sokay teo amin’ ny rindrin’ ny lapan’ ny mpanjaka; ary ny mpanjaka nahita ilay rantsan-tanana nanoratra.
6 Then the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one another.
Dia nivaloarika ny tarehin’ ny mpanjaka, ary naharaiki-tahotra azy ny eritreriny, ka dia nivahavaha ny valahany, sady niady ny lohaliny.
7 And the king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers; and he said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation, shall be clothed with scarlet, and [there shall be] a golden chain upon his neck, and he shall be the third ruler in my kingdom.
Dia niantso mafy ny mpanjaka hampiditra ny mpisikidy sy ny Kaldeana ary ny mpanandro. Ary ny mpanjaka niteny ka nanao tamin’ ny olon-kendrin’ i Babylona hoe: Na zovy na zovy no mahavaky io soratra io sady milaza ny heviny amiko dia hampiakanjoina volomparasy, sy hasiana rojo volamena ny vozony, ary ho isan’ ny mpanapaka telo lahy amin’ ny fanjakana izy.
8 Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known the interpretation to the king.
Dia niditra avokoa ny olon-kendrin’ ny mpanjaka, nefa tsy nisy nahavaky ny soratra na nampahalala ny mpanjaka ny heviny.
9 And king Baltasar was troubled, and his countenance changed upon him, and his nobles were troubled with him.
Dia natahotra indrindra Belsazara mpanjaka, ka nivaloarika ny tarehiny, ary vaka terỳ ny mpanolo-tsainy.
10 Then the queen came into the banquet house, and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, and let not thy countenance be changed.
Ary ny renin’ ny mpanjaka niditra tao amin’ ny trano fanasana noho ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanolo-tsainy; dia niteny ny renin’ ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Ry mpanjaka ô, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao, aoka tsy haharaiki-tahotra anao ny eritreritrao, na hivaloarika ny tarehinao.
11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the Spirit of God; and in the days of thy father watchfulness and understanding were found in him; and king Nabuchodonosor thy father made him chief of the enchanters, magicians, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers.
Misy lehilahy ato amin’ ny fanjakanao izay manana fanahin’ ireo andriamanitra masìna ao anatiny; ary fony fahavelon-drainao dia hita fa nisy fahazavan-tsaina sy fahalalana ary fahendrena tao aminy tahaka ny fahendren’ ireo andriamanitra; ka nataon’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka rainao, dia ny mpanjaka rainao, hoy izaho, ho lehiben’ ny ombiasy sy ny mpisikidy sy ny Kaldeana ary ny mpanandro izy;
12 For [there is] an excellent spirit in him, and sense and understanding are in him, interpreting dreams [as he does], and answering hard [questions], and solving difficulties: [it is] Daniel, and the king gave him the name of Baltasar: now then let him be called, and he shall tell thee the interpretation of the writing.
fa fanahy hendry sy fahalalana sy saina ary fahaiza-milaza nofy sy fanambarana teny sarotra sy fampisehoana hevitra miafina no hita tao amin’ izany Daniela izany, izay nomen’ ny mpanjaka anarana hoe Beltesazara, koa aoka hantsoina Daniela, fa holazainy ny hevitry ny teny.
13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king: and the king said to Daniel, Art thou Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judea, which the king my father brought?
Dia nampidirina teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka Daniela. Ary ny mpanjaka niteny ka nanao tamin’ i Daniela hoe: Hianao mantsy no Daniela, ilay isan’ ny babo avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, izay nentin’ ny mpanjaka raiko avy tany Joda.
14 I have heard concerning thee, that the Spirit of God is in thee, and [that] watchfulness and understanding and excellent wisdom have been found in thee.
Efa reko ny aminao, fa ianao manana fanahin’ ireo andriamanitra sady misy fahazavan-tsaina sy fahalalana ary fahendrena tsara hita ao aminao.
15 And now the wise men, magicians, [and] soothsayers have come in before me, to read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation: but they could not tell it me.
Ary vao teo dia efa nampidirina teto anatrehako ny olon-kendry sy ny mpisikidy hamaky io soratra io sy hampahafantatra ahy ny heviny; fa tsy nahalaza ny hevitry ny teny izy;
16 And I have heard concerning thee, that thou art able to make interpretations: now then if thou shalt be able to read the writing, and to make known to me the interpretation of it, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and there shall be a golden chain upon thy neck, and thou shalt be third ruler in my kingdom.
ary efa reko ny aminao, fa ianao no mahalaza hevitra sy mahay mampiseho hevitra miafina; koa raha mahavaky ny soratra sy mampahafantatra ahy ny heviny ianao, dia hampiakanjoina volomparasy, sy hasiana rofo volamena ny vozonao, ary ho isan’ ny mpanapaka telo lahy amin’ ny fanjakana ianao.
17 And Daniel said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give the present of thine house to another; but I will read the writing, and will make known to thee the interpretation of it.
Dia namaly Daniela ka nanao teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Aoka ihany ho anao ny fanomezanao, ary ny valim-pitianao omeo ny hafa; nefa hovakiko amin’ ny mpanjaka ihany ny soratra, ary hampahafantariko azy ny heviny.
18 O king, the most high God gave to thy father Nabuchodonosor a kingdom, and majesty, and honour, and glory:
Ny aminao, ry mpanjaka ô, Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra efa nanome fanjakana sy fahalehibiazana sy voninahitra ary laza an’ i Nebokadnezara rainao;
19 and by reason of the majesty which he gave to him, all nations, tribes [and] languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he smote; and whom he would he exalted; and whom he would he abased.
ary noho ny fahalehibiazana izay nomeny azy, ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena ary ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra dia nangovitra sy natahotra teo anatrehany; izay tiany hovonoina dia novonoiny; ary izay tiany hovelomina dia novelominy; ary izay tiany hasandratra dia nasandrany; ary izay tiany haetry dia naetriny.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was emboldened to act proudly, he was deposed from his royal throne, and [his] honour was taken from him.
Fa nony niavonavona kosa ny fony, ary nikikitra tamin’ ny fireharehana ny fanahiny, dia naetry niala tamin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakany izy, ary ny voninahiny nesorina taminy;
21 And he was driven forth from men; and his heart was given him after the nature of wild beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; and they fed him with grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the most high God is Lord of the kingdom of men, and will give it to whomsoever he shall please.
dia noroahina niala tamin’ ny zanak’ olombelona izy; ary ny fony natao tahaka ny an’ ny biby, ary ny fonenany tany amin’ ny boriki-dia, dia nampihinanina ahitra toy ny omby izy, ary kotsan’ ny andon’ ny lanitra ny tenany, ambara-pahafantany fa Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra no manapaka amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny olona, ary izay tiany no tendreny ho mpanjakany.
22 And thou accordingly, his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thine heart before God: knowest thou not all this?
Ary ianao, ry Belsazara zanany, dia tsy mba nampietry ny fonao, na dia fantatrao aza izany rehetra izany;
23 And thou hast been exalted against the Lord God of heaven; and they have brought before thee the vessels of his house, and thou, and thy nobles, and thy mistresses, and thy concubines, have drunk wine out of them; and thou hast praised the gods of gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and wood, and stone, which see not, and which hear not, and know not: and the God in whose hand are thy breath and all thy ways hast thou not glorified.
fa niavonavona tamin’ ny Tompon’ ny lanitra ianao; ary ny fanaky ny tranon’ Andriamanitra dia nentina eto anatrehanao, ary ianao sy ny mpanolo-tsainao sy ny vadinao mbamin’ ny vaditsindranonao nisotro divay taminy; ary ianao nankalaza ny andriamanitra volafotsy sy volamena sy varahina sy vy sy hazo ary vato, izay tsy mahita, na mandre, na mahalala; fa Andriamanitra Izay mitana ny ainao sady Tompon’ ny alehanao rehetra dia tsy mba nankalazainao.
24 Therefore from his presence has been sent forth the knuckle of a hand; and he has ordered this writing.
Ary noho izany dia Izy no nihavian’ ilay rantsan-tanana, ka voasoratra ireo teny ireo.
25 And this is the ordered writing, Mane, Thekel, Phares.
Ary ny teny voasoratra dia izao: Mene, Mene, Tekela, Oparesina.
26 This is the interpretation of the sentence: Mane; God has measured thy kingdom, and finished it.
Izao no hevitry ny teny: Mene, voaisan’ Andriamanitra ny nanjakanao ka taperiny amin’ izao;
27 Thekel; it has been weighed in the balance, and found wanting.
Tekela, efa voalanja tamin’ ny mizana ianao ka, indro, latsa-danja;
28 Phares; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Paresa, zarazaraina ny fanjakanao ka omena ho an’ ny Mediana sy ny Persiana.
29 Then Baltasar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put the golden chain about his neck, and proclaimed concerning him that he was the third ruler in the kingdom.
Ary Belsazara dia nanome teny, ka dia nampiakanjoina volomparasy Daniela, sady nasiana rojo volamena ny vozony, ary nisy niantso azy ho isan’ ny mpanapaka telo lahy amin’ ny fanjakana.
30 In the same night was Baltasar the Chaldean king slain.
Ary tamin’ io alina io ihany dia novonoina Belsazara, mpanjakan’ ny Kaldeana.
31 And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being sixty-two years [old].
Ary Dariosa Mediana no nandray ny fanjakana, rehefa tokony ho roa amby enim-polo taona no andro niainany.
