< Daniel 5 >

1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Валтасар царь сотвори вечерю велию вельможам своим тысящи мужем,
2 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 consorts and his concubines, might drink therein.
пред тысящею же вино, и пия Валтасар рече при вкушении вина, еже принести сосуды златы и сребряны, яже изнесе Навуходоносор отец его из храма (Господа Бога), иже во Иерусалиме, и да пиют в них царь и вельможи его, и наложницы его и возлежащыя (окрест) его.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his lords, his consorts and his concubines, drank in them.
И принесоша сосуды златыя и сребряныя, яже изнесе (Навуходоносор царь) из храма Господа Бога, иже во Иерусалиме: и пияху ими царь и вельможи его, и наложницы его и возлежащыя (окрест) его:
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
пияху вино и похвалиша боги златыя и сребряныя, и медяныя и железныя, и древяныя и каменныя, а Бога вечнаго не благословиша, имущаго власть духа их.
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace; and the king saw the palm of the hand that wrote.
В той час изыдоша персты руки человечи и писаху противу лампады на поваплении стены дому царева, и царь видяше персты руки пишущия.
6 Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts affrighted him; and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
Тогда царю зрак изменися, и размышления его смущаху его, и соузы чресл его разслабляхуся, и колена его сражастася:
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon: 'Whosoever shall read this writing, and declare unto me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule as one of three in the kingdom.'
и возопи царь силою, еже ввести волхвов, Халдеев, газаринов: и рече царь мудрым Вавилонским: иже прочтет писание сие и разум его возвестит мне, той в багряницу облечется, и гривна златая на выю его, и третий во царстве моем обладати начнет.
8 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
И вхождаху вси мудрии ко царю и не можаху писания прочести, ни разума царю возвестити.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly affrighted, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
Царь же Валтасар возмятеся, и зрак его изменися на нем, и вельможи его смущахуся.
10 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 for ever! let not thy thoughts affright thee, nor let thy countenance be changed;
И вниде царица в дом пирный, и рече царица: царю во веки живи: да не смущают тебе размышления твоя, и зрак твой да не изменяется:
11 there is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers;
есть муж во царстве твоем, в немже дух Божий: и во дни отца твоего бодрость и смысл обретеся в нем, и царь Навуходоносор отец твой князя постави его волхвом, обаятелем, Халдеем, газарином,
12 forasmuch as a surpassing spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and declaring of riddles, and loosing of knots, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will declare the interpretation.'
яко дух преизюбилный (бяше) в нем, и премудрость и смысл (обретеся) в нем, сказуя сны и возвещая сокровенная и разрешая соузы, Даниил, и царь нарече имя ему Валтасар: ныне убо да призовется, и сказание его возвестит тебе.
13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel: 'Art thou Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
Тогда Даниил введен бысть пред царя. И рече царь Даниилу: ты лиеси Даниил, от сынов пленник Иудейских, ихже приведе Навуходоносор царь отец мой?
14 I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and surpassing wisdom is found in thee.
Слышах о тебе, яко дух Божий в тебе, и бодрость и смысл и премудрость изюбилна обретеся в тебе:
15 And now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not declare the interpretation of the thing.
и ныне внидоша пред мя мудрии, волсви, газарини, да писание сие прочтут и сказания его возвестят ми, и не могоша возвестити мне:
16 But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and loose knots; now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt rule as one of three in the kingdom.'
аз же слышах о тебе, яко можеши суды сказати: ныне убо аще возможеши ппсание сие прочести и сказание его возвестити мне, в багряницу облечешися, и гривна златая на выи твоей будет, и третий во царстве моем обладати будеши.
17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king: 'Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Тогда отвеща Даниил и рече пред царем: даяния: твоя с тобою да будут, и дар дому твоего иному даждь, аз же писание прочту царю и сказание его возвещу тебе.
18 O thou king, God Most High gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;
Царю! Бог Вышний царство и величество, и честь и славу даде Навуходоносору отцу твоему,
19 and because of the greatness that He gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.
и от величества, еже ему даде, вси людие, племена, языцы бяху трепещуще и боящеся от лица его: ихже хотяше убиваше, и ихже хотяше бияше, и ихже хотяше возвышаше, и ихже хотяше, той смиряше:
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him;
и егда вознесеся сердце его и утвердися дух его еже презорствовати, сведеся от престола царства, и слава и честь отяся от него,
21 and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that God Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that He setteth up over it whomsoever He will.
и от человек отгнася, и сердце его со зверьми отдася, и житие его со дивиими ослы, и травою аки вола питаху его, и от росы небесныя оросися тело его, дондеже уразуме, яко владеет Бог Вышний царством человеческим, и емуже хощет, даст е.
22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this;
И ты убо, сыне его Валтасаре, не смирил еси сердца твоего пред Господем: не вся ли сия ведал еси?
23 but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy consorts and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified;
Но на Господа Бога небеснаго вознеслся еси, и сосуды храма Его принесоша пред тебе, ты же и вельможи твои, и наложницы твоя и возлежащыя (окрест) тебе, вино пиясте ими: и боги златыя и сребряныя, и медяныя и железныя, и каменныя и древяныя, иже ни видят, ни слышат, ни разумеют, похвалил еси, а Бога, у Негоже дыхание твое в руце Его, и вси путие твои, Того не прославил еси.
24 then was the palm of the hand sent from before Him, and this writing was inscribed.
Сего ради от лица Его послани быша персты ручнии и писание сие вчиниша.
25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN.
Се же есть писание вчиненое: мани, фекел, фарес.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end.
Се сказание глагола: мани, измери Бог царство твое и сконча е:
27 TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
фекел, поставися в мерилех и обретеся лишаемо:
28 PERES, thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.'
фарес, разделися царство твое и дадеся Мидом и Персом.
29 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 rule as one of three in the kingdom.
И рече Валтасар: (облецыте и). И облекоша Даниила в багряницу, и гривну златую возложиша на выю его, и проповеда о нем, еже быти ему князю третиему во царстве его.
30 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.
Валтасара царя Халдейска убиша в ту нощь,
31 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
Дарий же Мидянин прия царство, сый шестидесяти и двою лет.
