Daniel 5
1 King Belshazzar held a great feast for one thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking wine with them.
Kralj Belšacár je priredil veliko zabavo svojim tisoč velikašem in pil vino pred tisočimi.
2 Under the wine's influence Belshazzar ordered his servants to bring in the cups and bowls of gold and silver his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem so that he and his nobles, his wives and concubines, could drink from them.
Medtem ko je Belšacár okušal vino, je zapovedal, da prinesejo zlate in srebrne posode, ki jih je njegov oče Nebukadnezar odnesel iz templja, ki je bil v Jeruzalemu, da bi kralj in njegovi princi, njegove žene in njegove priležnice lahko pili iz njih.
3 So they brought in the gold cups and bowls that had been taken from the Temple of God in Jerusalem. The king and his nobles, his wives and concubines, drank from them.
Potem so prinesli zlate posode, ki so bile odnesene iz templja Božje hiše, ki je bila v Jeruzalemu; in kralj, njegovi princi, njegove žene in njegove priležnice so pili iz njih.
4 As they drank wine they praised their gods—idols made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
Pili so vino in hvalili bogove iz zlata in iz srebra, iz brona, iz železa, iz lesa in iz kamna.
5 Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared, writing on the plaster wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand. The king watched the hand as it wrote.
V isti uri so prišli prsti človeške roke in pisali nasproti svečniku na zidnem ometu kraljeve palače, in kralj je zagledal del roke, ki je pisala.
6 His face turned pale, and he became very frightened. His legs gave way and his knees knocked together.
Potem je bilo kraljevo obličje spremenjeno in njegove misli so ga vznemirile, tako da so bili sklepi njegovih ledij mlahavi in njegova kolena so udarjala druga ob drugo.
7 The king shouted, “Bring in the enchanters and astrologers and diviners!” He told these wise men of Babylon, “Anyone who can read this writing and explain it to me will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will become the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
Kralj je glasno zaklical, da pripeljejo astrologe, Kaldejce in napovedovalce usode. In kralj je spregovoril in rekel modrim možem iz Babilona: »Kdorkoli bo prebral to pisanje in mi pokazal njegovo razlago, bo oblečen v škrlat in okoli svojega vratu bo imel verižico iz zlata in bo tretji vladar v kraljestvu.«
8 However, after all the king's wise men had come in, they could not read the writing or explain to him what it meant.
Potem so vstopili vsi kraljevi modri možje, toda niso mogli prebrati pisanja niti kralju razglasiti njegove razlage.
9 This made King Belshazzar even more frightened and his face grew even paler. His nobles also were in panic.
Potem je bil kralj Belšacár silno vznemirjen in njegovo obličje na njem je bilo spremenjeno in njegovi velikaši so bili osupli.
10 When the queen mother heard the noise the king and the nobles were making she went to the banquet hall. She said to Belshazzar, “May Your Majesty the king live forever! Don't be frightened! Don't look so pale!
Torej kraljica je zaradi razloga besed kralja in njegovih velikašev prišla v hišo gostije in kraljica je spregovorila ter rekla: »Oh kralj, živi na veke. Naj te tvoje misli ne vznemirjajo niti naj tvoje obličje ne bo spremenjeno.
11 There's a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In your father's time he was found to have understanding and insight, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your Majesty's father, King Nebuchadnezzar put him in charge of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your father did this
V tvojem kraljestvu je mož, v katerem je duh svetih bogov in v dneh tvojega očeta je bilo v njem najti razsvetljenje, razumevanje in modrost, podobno modrosti bogov; ki ga je kralj Nebukadnezar, tvoj oče, kralj, pravim, tvoj oče, postavil za gospodarja čarovnikov, astrologov, Kaldejcev in napovedovalcev usode;
12 because Daniel, (called Belteshazzar by the king) was found to have an excellent mind, full of understanding and insight, and also able to interpret dreams, explain mysteries, and solve difficult problems. Call Daniel in and let him explain what this means to you.”
ker se je v tem istem Danielu, ki ga je kralj poimenoval Beltšacár, našel odličen duh, spoznanje, razumevanje sanj, naznanjanje težkih razsodb in razreševanje dvomov. Naj bo torej Daniel poklican in pokazal bo razlago.«
13 So Daniel was brought in before the king. The king asked him, “Are you Daniel, one of the prisoners my father the king brought from Judah?
Potem je bil Daniel priveden pred kralja. In kralj je spregovoril ter Danielu rekel: » Ali si ti tisti Daniel, ki si izmed otrok Judovega ujetništva, ki jih je kralj, moj oče, privedel iz Judeje?
14 I have heard about you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you were found to have understanding, insight, and great wisdom.
O tebi sem slišal celo, da je v tebi duh bogov in da je v tebi najti razsvetljenje, razumevanje in odlično modrost.
15 Just now the wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and explain it to me, but they weren't able to do so—they couldn't tell me what it meant.
Sedaj so bili predme privedeni modri možje, astrologi, da bi prebrali to pisanje in mi dali spoznati njegovo razlago, toda niso mogli pokazati razlage stvari.
16 However, I'm told that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. If you can read this writing and explain it to me, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will become the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
O tebi pa sem slišal, da lahko daješ razlage in razrešuješ dvome. Torej če lahko prebereš pisanje in mi razglasiš njegov pomen, potem boš oblečen s škrlatom in okoli svojega vratu boš imel zlato verižico in boš tretji vladar v kraljestvu.«
17 Daniel answered the king, “Keep your gifts and give your rewards to another. Even so I will read the writing to Your Majesty and explain to you what it means.
Potem je Daniel odgovoril in pred kraljem rekel: »Naj tvoja darila [ostanejo] tebi in svoje nagrade daj drugemu; kljub temu bom kralju prebral pisanje in mu dal spoznati razlago.
18 Your Majesty, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar this kingdom, and power, glory, and majesty.
Ti, oh kralj. Najvišji Bog je dal tvojemu očetu Nebukadnezarju kraljestvo, veličanstvo, slavo in čast.
19 Because of the power he gave him, people of every nation and language trembled with fear before him. Those he wished to kill were killed, and those he wished to live were allowed to live. Those he wanted to honor were honored, and those he wanted to humble were humbled.
Zaradi veličanstva, ki mu ga je on dal, so vsa ljudstva, narodi in jeziki trepetali in se bali pred njim. Kogar je želel, je usmrtil; in kogar je želel, je ohranil živega; in kogar je želel, je povišal; in kogar je želel, je odstavil.
20 But when he became arrogant and hard-hearted, acting proudly, he was removed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away from him.
Toda ko je bilo njegovo srce povišano in je njegov um zakrknil v ponosu, je bil odstavljen od svojega kraljevskega prestola in njegovo slavo so odvzeli od njega.
21 He was driven away from human society and his mind became like that of an animal. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle, and he was soaked with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High rules over human kingdoms, and that he gives them to whoever he chooses.
Pregnan je bil izmed človeških sinov in njegovo srce je bilo narejeno kakor živalsko in njegovo prebivališče je bilo z divjimi osli. Hranili so ga s travo kakor vole in njegovo telo je bilo omočeno z roso neba, dokler ni vedel, da najvišji Bog vlada v kraljestvu ljudi in da on postavlja čezenj kogarkoli on želi.
22 But you, Belshazzar, his son, have not humbled yourself, even though you knew all this.
Ti, njegov sin, oh Belšacár, nisi ponižal svojega srca, čeprav si vse to vedel,
23 You have arrogantly defied the Lord of heaven and you had the cups and bowls of his Temple brought to you. You and your nobles, your wives and concubines, drank wine from them as you praised gods made of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone that can't see or hear or know anything. But you have not honored God who holds in his hand your very breath and everything you do.
temveč si se povzdignil zoper Gospoda nebes in predte so privedli posode njegove hiše in ti in tvoji velikaši, tvoje žene in tvoje priležnice so iz njih pili vino, in hvalil si bogove iz srebra, zlata, brona, železa, lesa in kamna, ki ne vidijo niti ne slišijo niti ne vedo. Boga pa, v čigar roki je tvoj dih in katerega so vse tvoje poti, ti nisi slavil.
24 That's why he sent the hand to write this message.
Torej je bil od njega poslan del roke, in zapisano je bilo to pisanje.
25 What was written on the wall was this: ‘Number, number, weigh, divide.’
To je pisanje, ki je bilo zapisano: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 Here is the meaning: Number—God has numbered your reign and brought it to an end.
To je razlaga stvari: MENE: ›Bog je preštel tvoje kraljestvo in ga končal.‹
27 Weighed—you have been weighed on the balances and you were found lacking.
TEKEL: ›Stehtan si bil na tehtnici in si najden pomanjkljiv.‹
28 Divided—your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and the Persians.”
PERES: ›Tvoje kraljestvo je razdeljeno in dano Medijcem in Perzijcem.‹«
29 Then Belshazzar gave the order and Daniel was clothed in purple and had a gold chain placed around his neck. He was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
Potem je Belšacár zapovedal in Daniela so oblekli s škrlatom in okoli njegovega vratu obesili verižico iz zlata in glede njega naredili razglas, da naj bi bil tretji vladar v kraljestvu.
30 On that very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was killed
V tej noči je bil Belšacár, kralj Kaldejcev, umorjen.
31 and Darius the Mede was given the kingdom at the age of sixty-two.
Medijec Darej je dobil kraljestvo; bil je star okoli dvainšestdeset let.
