Daniel 5
1 King Belshazzar made a great feast to a thousand of his princes, and dranke wine before the thousand.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Mũthamaki Belishazaru nĩarugithĩirie andũ ake ngiri ĩmwe arĩa maarĩ igweta iruga inene, nake akĩnyuuanĩra ndibei nao.
2 And Belshazzar whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring him the golden and siluer vessels, which his father Nebuchad-nezzar had brought from the Temple in Ierusalem, that the King and his princes, his wiues, and his concubines might drinke therein.
Rĩrĩa Belishazaru aanyuuaga ndibei yake, agĩathana ikombe cia thahabu na cia betha, iria ithe Nebukadinezaru aatahĩte akaruta hekarũ-inĩ Jerusalemu, irehwo nĩgeetha mũthamaki, na andũ ake arĩa maarĩ igweta, na atumia ake na thuriya ciake manyue nacio.
3 Then were brought the golden vessels, that were taken out of the Temple of the Lords house at Ierusalem, and the King and his princes, his wiues and his concubines dranke in them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩrehe ikombe icio cia thahabu iria ciatahĩtwo ikarutwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai kũu Jerusalemu. Nake mũthamaki, na andũ ake acio maarĩ igweta, na atumia ake, na thuriya ciake makĩnyua nacio.
4 They drunke wine and praysed the gods of golde, and of siluer, of brasse, of yron, of wood and of stone.
Nao maanyuuaga ndibei, makĩgoocaga ngai cia thahabu, na cia betha, na cia gĩcango, na cia kĩgera, na cia mĩtĩ, na cia mahiga.
5 At the same houre appeared fingers of a mans hand, which wrote ouer against the candlesticke vpon the plaister of the wall of ye Kings palace, and the King sawe the palme of the hand that wrote.
Na rĩrĩ, o rĩmwe hakĩoneka ciara cia guoko kwa mũndũ ikĩandĩka rũthingo-inĩ rwa nyũmba ĩyo ya ũthamaki hakuhĩ na mũtĩ ũrĩa wa kũigĩrĩra tawa. Nake mũthamaki akĩona guoko kũu gũkĩandĩka.
6 Then the Kings countenance was changed, and his thoughtes troubled him, so that the ioynts of his loynes were loosed, and his knees smote one against the other.
Nake mũthamaki agĩthita gĩthiithi na akĩmaka mũno, nginya maru make makĩgũthana, na akĩremwo nĩkũrũgama na magũrũ make.
7 Wherefore the King cryed loude, that they should bring the astrologians, the Caldeans and the soothsayers. And the King spake, and sayd to the wise men of Babel, Whosoeuer can reade this writing, and declare me the interpretation thereof, shalbe clothed with purple, and shall haue a chaine of golde about his necke, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdome.
Mũthamaki akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga aragũri, na arori a njata, na arathi a mohoro mareehwo nake akĩĩra andũ acio oogĩ a Babuloni atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũngĩthoma maandĩko maya na anjĩĩre ũrĩa moigĩte, nĩekũhumbwo nguo cia rangi wa ndathi, na ekĩrwo kĩrengeeri gĩa thahabu ngingo, na nĩegũtuuo mwathani wa gatatũ ũthamaki-inĩ ũyũ.”
8 Then came all the Kings wise men, but they could neither reade the writing, nor shewe the King the interpretation.
Nao andũ a mũthamaki arĩa oogĩ othe magĩtoonya kuo, no matiahotire gũthoma maandĩko macio kana kwĩra mũthamaki ũrĩa moigĩte.
9 Then was King Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his princes were astonied.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Belishazaru agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmaka, na gĩthiithi gĩake gĩgĩthita makĩria. Andũ ake acio maarĩ igweta makĩrigwo nĩ ũrĩa mangĩĩka.
10 Now the Queene by reason of the talke of the King, and his princes came into the banket house, and the Queene spake, and sayd, O King, liue for euer: let not thy thoughtes trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed.
Mũtumia wa mũthamaki rĩrĩa aiguire inegene rĩa mũthamaki na andũ acio ake maarĩ igweta agĩtoonya nyũmba ĩyo yarĩ na iruga. Akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki, ũrotũũra nginya tene! Tiga kũmaka o na kana ũtukie gĩthiithi nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũyũ!
11 There is a man in thy kingdome, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and in the dayes of thy father light and vnderstanding and wisdome like the wisdome of the gods, was found in him: whom the King Nebuchad-nezzar thy father, the King, I say, thy father, made chiefe of the enchanters, astrologians, Caldeans, and soothsayers,
Ũthamaki-inĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũkoragwo na roho wa ngai iria theru thĩinĩ wake. Matukũ-inĩ ma thoguo-rĩ, nĩonekire arĩ na meciiria marĩ na ũtaũku na ũmenyi o ta wa ngai icio. Thoguo, Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru, (ndĩrakwĩra ũhoro wa thoguo mũthamaki, ) nĩamũtuire mũnene wa aragũri, na arori a njata, na arathi a mohoro.
12 Because a more excellent spirit, and knowledge, and vnderstanding (for hee did expound dreames, and declare hard sentences, and dissolued doubtes) were founde in him, euen in Daniel, whome the King named Belteshazzar: nowe let Daniel be called, and hee will declare the interpretation.
Mũndũ ũcio Danieli, na nĩwe mũthamaki eetire Beliteshazaru, nĩonekire arĩ na meciiria makuũku, na ũmenyo, na ũtaũku, o na ningĩ ũhoti wa gũtaũra irooto, na gũtaarĩria ndaĩ, na gũtuithania maũndũ marĩa maritũ. Tũmana Danieli etwo na nĩegũkwĩra ũrĩa maandĩko macio moigĩte.”
13 Then was Daniel brought before the King, and the King spake and sayd vnto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captiuitie of Iudah, whom my father the King brought out of Iewrie?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Danieli akĩrehwo mbere ya mũthamaki, nake mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Danieli, ũmwe wa andũ arĩa baba, ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki aarehire gũkũ matahĩtwo kuuma Juda?
14 Now I haue heard of thee, that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and that light and vnderstanding and excellent wisdome is found in thee.
Nĩnjiguĩte atĩ ũrĩ na roho wa ngai iria theru thĩinĩ waku na atĩ ũrĩ na ũtaũku, na ũhoti wa gwĩciiria na ũũgĩ wa mwanya.
15 Now therefore, wisemen and astrologians haue bene brought before me, that they should reade this writing, and shewe me the interpretation thereof: but they could not declare the interpretation of the thing.
Andũ arĩa oogĩ na aragũri nĩmekũrehetwo harĩ niĩ mathome maandĩko maya manjĩĩre ũrĩa moigĩte, no matinahota kũmataarĩria.
16 Then heard I of thee, that thou couldest shewe interpretations, and dissolue doutes: nowe if thou canst reade the writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt haue a chaine of golde about thy necke, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdome.
Rĩu nĩnjiguĩte atĩ wee no ũhote gũtaũra na kũhĩngĩcanũra maũndũ marĩa maritũ. Ũngĩhota gũthoma maandĩko maya na ũnjĩĩre ũrĩa moigĩte-rĩ, nĩũkũhumbwo nguo ya rangi wa ndathi, na wĩkĩrwo kĩrengeeri gĩa thahabu ngingo, na ũtuuo mwathani wa gatatũ ũthamaki-inĩ ũyũ.”
17 Then Daniel answered, and sayd before the King, Keepe thy rewards to thy selfe, and giue thy giftes to another: yet I will reade the writing vnto the King, and shew him the interpretation.
Nake Danieli agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Iheo icio ciaku ikara nacio arĩ we, namo marĩhi maku ũmahe mũndũ ũngĩ. No o na gũkĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, nĩngũthomera mũthamaki maandĩko macio, na ndĩmwĩre ũrĩa moigĩte.
18 O King, heare thou, The most high God gaue vnto Nebuchad-nezzar thy father a kingdome, and maiestie, and honour and glory.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki, Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩaheire thoguo Nebukadinezaru wathani, na ũnene, na riiri, na ũkaru.
19 And for the maiestie that he gaue him, all people, nations, and languages trembled, and feared before him: he put to death whom he would: he smote whome he would: whome he would he set vp, and whome he would he put downe.
Nĩ ũndũ wa kũmũtũgĩria ũguo-rĩ, andũ othe, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na andũ a mĩario yothe nĩmainainaga marĩ mbere yake na makamwĩtigĩra. Andũ arĩa mũthamaki angĩendire mooragwo nĩamooragithagia; arĩa angĩendire kũhonokia mĩoyo yao, nĩamahonokagia; arĩa angĩendire gũtũũgĩria, nĩamatũgagĩria; nao arĩa angĩendire kũnyiihia, nĩamanyiihagia.
20 But when his heart was puft vp, and his minde hardened in pride, hee was deposed from his kingly throne, and they tooke his honour from him.
No rĩrĩa ngoro yake yanyiitirwo nĩ mwĩgaatho na akĩũmio ngoro nĩ mwĩtĩĩo, nĩarutirwo gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene na akĩaũrwo riiri wake.
21 And hee was driuen from the sonnes of men, and his heart was made like the beastes, and his dwelling was with the wilde asses: they fed him with grasse like oxen, and his body was wet with the dewe of the heauen, till he knewe, that the most high God bare rule ouer the kingdome of men, and that he appointeth ouer it, whomsoeuer he pleaseth.
Akĩingatwo akĩeherio kuuma kũrĩ andũ, na akĩgarũrwo akĩgĩa na meciiria ta ma nyamũ, agĩtũũrania na njagĩ cia werũ-inĩ, na akĩrĩa nyeki ta ngʼombe; naguo mwĩrĩ wake waihũgagio nĩ ime riumĩte igũrũ, nginya rĩrĩa aamenyire atĩ Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩwe wathaga mothamaki ma andũ, na nĩwe ũmaheanaga kũrĩ o ũrĩa angĩenda kũhe.
22 And thou his sonne, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all these things,
“No wee nawe Belishazaru, mũrũ-we-rĩ, ndũigana kwĩnyiihia, o na gũkorwo nĩwooĩ maũndũ macio mothe.
23 But hast lift thy selfe vp against the Lord of heauen, and they haue brought the vessels of his House before thee, and thou and thy princes, thy wiues and thy concubines haue drunke wine in them, and thou hast praysed the gods of siluer and golde, of brasse, yron, wood and stone, which neither see, neither heare, nor vnderstand: and the God in whose hand thy breath is and all thy wayes, him hast thou not glorified.
Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, wee nĩwĩnenehetie makĩria, ũgakararia Mwathani-wa-Igũrũ. Wetirie ikombe iria ciarutĩtwo hekarũ-inĩ yake, ũkĩreherwo, nawe na andũ aku arĩa marĩ igweta, na atumia aku na thuriya ciaku, mũkĩnyua ndibei nacio. Na inyuĩ mũkĩgooca ngai cia betha na cia thahabu, na cia gĩcango, na cia kĩgera, na cia mĩtĩ, o na cia mahiga, iria itoonaga, kana ikaigua, kana igakũũrana ũndũ. No rĩrĩ, wee ndũigana gũtĩĩa Ngai ũrĩa ũgwete muoyo waku guoko-inĩ gwake, na akamenya mĩthiĩre yaku yothe.
24 Then was the palme of the hand sent from him, and hath written this writing.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũma guoko kũu gũũke kwandĩke maandĩko macio.
25 And this is the writing that he hath written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN.
“Maandĩko macio mandĩkĩtwo maroiga ũũ: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN
26 This is the interpretation of the thing, MENE, God hath nombred thy kingdome, and hath finished it.
“Naguo ũtaũri wa ciugo ici nĩguo ũyũ:
27 TEKEL, thou art wayed in the balance, and art found too light.
TEKEL nĩ ta kuuga: Wee nĩũthimĩtwo na ratiri, ũkoneka nĩũtigairie.
28 PERES, thy kingdome is deuided, and giuen to the Medes and Persians.
PERES nĩ ta kuuga: Ũthamaki waku nĩ mũgayanie, ũkaheanwo kũrĩ Amedi na Aperisia.”
29 Then at the commandement of Belshazzar they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chaine of golde about his necke, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdome.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Belishazaru agĩatha andũ ake, nao makĩhumba Danieli nguo ya rangi wa ndathi, na agĩĩkĩrwo kĩrengeeri gĩa thahabu ngingo, naguo ũhoro wake ũkĩmenyithanio atĩ nĩwe mwathani wa gatatũ ũthamaki-inĩ ũcio.
30 The same night was Belshazzar the King of the Caldeans slaine.
Ũtukũ o ro ũcio, Belishazaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni akĩũragwo,
31 And Darius of the Medes tooke the kingdome, being threescore and two yeere olde.
nake Dario ũrĩa Mũmedia akĩoya ũthamaki ũcio, arĩ na ũkũrũ ta wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na ĩĩrĩ.
