Daniel 5
1 King Belshazzar held a great feast for one thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking wine with them.
Belṣassari, ọba ṣe àsè ńlá fún ẹgbẹ̀rún kan nínú àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ̀, ó sì mu wáìnì pẹ̀lú u wọn.
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.
Bí Belṣassari ṣe ń mu wáìnì, ó pàṣẹ pé kí wọn kó kọ́ọ̀bù wúrà àti ti fàdákà wá, èyí tí Nebukadnessari baba rẹ̀ kó wá láti inú tẹmpili ní Jerusalẹmu, kí ọba àti àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ̀, àwọn ìyàwó àti àwọn àlè rẹ̀ kí ó ba à le fi mu wáìnì.
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.
Wọ́n sì kó kọ́ọ̀bù wúrà àti fàdákà àti fàdákà èyí tí wọ́n kó jáde láti inú tẹmpili, ilé Ọlọ́run ní Jerusalẹmu, ọba àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, àwọn ìyàwó àti àwọn àlè rẹ̀, sì fi mu wáìnì.
4 As they drank wine they praised their gods—idols made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
Bí wọ́n ṣe ń mu wáìnì bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ń yin òrìṣà wúrà àti fàdákà, ti idẹ, irin, igi àti òkúta.
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.
Lójijì, ìka ọwọ́ ènìyàn jáde wá, ó sì ń kọ̀wé sára ẹfun ògiri ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibi tí fìtílà ń dúró ní ààfin ọba. Ọba ń wo ọwọ́ náà bí ó ṣe ń kọ ọ́.
6 His face turned pale, and he became very frightened. His legs gave way and his knees knocked together.
Ojú ọba sì yí padà, ẹ̀rù sì bà á, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí orúnkún ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ méjèèjì rẹ̀ fi ń gbá ara wọn.
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.”
Ọba kígbe pé, kí wọn pe àwọn awòràwọ̀, àwọn onídán, àti àwọn aláfọ̀ṣẹ wá, ọba sì sọ fún àwọn amòye Babeli pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá lè ka àkọsílẹ̀ yìí kí ó sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀, ẹni náà ni a ó fi aṣọ elése àlùkò wọ̀ àti ẹ̀gbà wúrà ni a ó fi sí ọrùn un rẹ̀, òun ni yóò sì ṣe olórí kẹta ní ìjọba à mi.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn amòye ọba wọ ilé, ṣùgbọ́n, wọn kò le è ka àkọsílẹ̀ náà tàbí sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún ọba.
9 This made King Belshazzar even more frightened and his face grew even paler. His nobles also were in panic.
Nígbà náà ni Belṣassari ọba bínú gidigidi, ojú u rẹ̀ sì túbọ̀ dàrú sí i. Ẹ̀rù sì ba àwọn ìjòyè Belṣassari.
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!
Nígbà tí ayaba gbọ́ ohùn ọba àti àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ̀, ó wá ilé àsè wá. Ó wí pé, “Kí ọba kí ó pẹ́! Má ṣe jẹ́ kí inú rẹ bàjẹ́, má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú u rẹ fàro.
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
Ọkùnrin kan wà ní ìjọba à rẹ, ẹni tí ẹ̀mí ọlọ́run mímọ́ ń gbé inú rẹ̀. Ní ìgbà ayé e baba à rẹ, òun ni ó ní ojú inú, òye àti ìmọ̀ bí i ti ọlọ́run òun ni ọba Nebukadnessari, baba rẹ̀ fi jẹ olórí àwọn apidán, awòràwọ̀, apògèdè àti aláfọ̀ṣẹ.
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.”
Ọkùnrin náà ni Daniẹli ẹni tí ọba ń pè ní Belṣassari, ó ní ẹ̀mí tí ó tayọ, ìmọ̀ àti òye, àti agbára láti túmọ̀ àlá, ó máa ń ṣe àlàyé àlá àti àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó bá da ojú rú, ránṣẹ́ pè é, yóò sì sọ nǹkan tí àkọsílẹ̀ ìwé náà túmọ̀ sí.”
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?
Nígbà náà ni a mú Daniẹli wá síwájú ọba, ọba sì sọ fún un wí pé, “Ṣé ìwọ ni Daniẹli, ọ̀kan lára àwọn tí baba mi mú ní ìgbèkùn láti Juda!
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.
Mo ti gbọ́ wí pé ẹ̀mí ọlọ́run ń gbé inú rẹ àti wí pé ìwọ ní ojú inú, òye, àti ọgbọ́n tí ó tayọ.
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.
A ti mú àwọn amòye àti àwọn awòràwọ̀ wá sí iwájú mí kí wọn ba à le è wá ka àkọsílẹ̀ yìí kí wọn sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò le è sọ ìtumọ̀ ohun tí ó jẹ́.
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n mo ti gbọ́ wí pé, ìwọ lè sọ ìtumọ̀, àti wí pé o lè yanjú àwọn ìṣòro tó lágbára. Tí o bá lè ka àkọsílẹ̀ ìwé yìí kí o sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀, a ó fi aṣọ elése àlùkò wọ̀ ọ́ pẹ̀lú ẹ̀gbà wúrà ni a ó fi sí ọ lọ́rùn, a ó sì fi ọ́ ṣe olórí kẹta ní ìjọba mi.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Daniẹli dá ọba lóhùn wí pé, “Fi ẹ̀bùn rẹ pamọ́ fún ara rẹ, tàbí kí o fún ẹlòmíràn. Síbẹ̀ èmi yóò ka àkọsílẹ̀ náà fún ọba, èmi yóò sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀.
18 Your Majesty, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar this kingdom, and power, glory, and majesty.
“Ìwọ ọba, Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo fún Nebukadnessari baba rẹ ní ìjọba, títóbi ògo àti ọlá.
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.
Nítorí ipò ńlá tí a fi fún un, gbogbo ènìyàn orílẹ̀-èdè àti èdè gbogbo fi ń páyà tí wọ́n sì ń bẹ̀rù rẹ̀. Ó ń pa àwọn tí ó bá wù ú, ó sì ń dá àwọn tí ó bá wù ú sí, ó ń gbé àwọn tí ó bá wù ú ga, ó sì ń rẹ àwọn tí ó bá wù ú sílẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ọkàn rẹ̀ ga, tí ó sì le koko. Ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí i hùwà ìgbéraga, a mú u kúrò lórí ìtẹ́ ọba rẹ̀, a sì gba ògo rẹ̀ kúrò.
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.
A lé e kúrò láàrín ènìyàn, a sì fún un ní ọkàn ẹranko; ó sì ń gbé pẹ̀lú àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, ó sì ń jẹ koríko bí i ti màlúù; ìrì ọ̀run ṣì sẹ̀ sí ara rẹ̀, títí tó fi mọ̀ pé, Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo ń jẹ ọba lórí ìjọba ọmọ ènìyàn, òun sì ń fi fún ẹni tí ó bá wù ú.
22 But you, Belshazzar, his son, have not humbled yourself, even though you knew all this.
“Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ọmọ rẹ̀, Belṣassari, ìwọ kò rẹ ara à rẹ sílẹ̀, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìwọ mọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
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.
Dípò èyí, ìwọ gbé ara à rẹ ga sí Olúwa ọ̀run, a mú ohun èlò inú tẹmpili rẹ̀ wá sí iwájú rẹ, ìwọ àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ, àwọn ìyàwó ò rẹ àti àwọn àlè rẹ fi ń mu wáìnì. Ìwọ ń yin àwọn òrìṣà fàdákà àti wúrà, idẹ, irin, igi àti ti òkúta, èyí tí kò lè ríran, tí kò le è gbọ́rọ̀ tàbí ní òye nǹkan kan. Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò bu ọlá fún Ọlọ́run ẹni tó ni ẹ̀mí rẹ lọ́wọ́, tí ó sì mọ gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ.
24 That's why he sent the hand to write this message.
Nítorí náà, ó rán ọwọ́ tí ó kọ àkọlé yìí.
25 What was written on the wall was this: ‘Number, number, weigh, divide.’
“Èyí ni àkọlé náà tí a kọ: Mene, mene, tekeli, peresini.
26 Here is the meaning: Number—God has numbered your reign and brought it to an end.
“Èyí ni nǹkan tí ọ̀rọ̀ náà túmọ̀ sí: “Mene: Ọlọ́run ti ṣírò ọjọ́ ìjọba rẹ. Ó sì ti mú u wá sí òpin.
27 Weighed—you have been weighed on the balances and you were found lacking.
“Tekeli: A ti gbé ọ lórí òsùwọ̀n, ìwọ kò sì tó ìwọ̀n.
28 Divided—your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and the Persians.”
“Peresini: A ti pín ìjọba rẹ a sì ti fi fún àwọn Media àti àwọn Persia.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Belṣassari pàṣẹ pé kí a wọ Daniẹli ní aṣọ elése àlùkò, kí a sì fi ẹ̀gbà wúrà sí i lọ́rùn, a sì kéde rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí olórí kẹta ní ìjọba rẹ̀.
30 On that very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was killed
Ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà ni a pa Belṣassari, ọba àwọn ara Kaldea.
31 and Darius the Mede was given the kingdom at the age of sixty-two.
Dariusi ará Media sì gba ìjọba nígbà tí ó di ọmọ ọdún méjìlélọ́gọ́ta.
