Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Kralj Belšacár je priredil veliko zabavo svojim tisoč velikašem in pil vino pred tisočimi.
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.
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 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.
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 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Pili so vino in hvalili bogove iz zlata in iz srebra, iz brona, iz železa, iz lesa in iz kamna.
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.
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 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.
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 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.'
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 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
Potem so vstopili vsi kraljevi modri možje, toda niso mogli prebrati pisanja niti kralju razglasiti njegove razlage.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly affrighted, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
Potem je bil kralj Belšacár silno vznemirjen in njegovo obličje na njem je bilo spremenjeno in njegovi velikaši so bili osupli.
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;
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 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;
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 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.'
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 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?
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 of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and surpassing wisdom is found in thee.
O tebi sem slišal celo, da je v tebi duh bogov in da je v tebi najti razsvetljenje, razumevanje in odlično modrost.
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.
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 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.'
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 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.
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 O thou king, God Most High gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;
Ti, oh kralj. Najvišji Bog je dal tvojemu očetu Nebukadnezarju kraljestvo, veličanstvo, slavo in čast.
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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this;
Ti, njegov sin, oh Belšacár, nisi ponižal svojega srca, čeprav si vse to vedel,
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;
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 then was the palm of the hand sent from before Him, and this writing was inscribed.
Torej je bil od njega poslan del roke, in zapisano je bilo to pisanje.
25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN.
To je pisanje, ki je bilo zapisano: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end.
To je razlaga stvari: MENE: ›Bog je preštel tvoje kraljestvo in ga končal.‹
27 TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
TEKEL: ›Stehtan si bil na tehtnici in si najden pomanjkljiv.‹
28 PERES, thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.'
PERES: ›Tvoje kraljestvo je razdeljeno in dano Medijcem in Perzijcem.‹«
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.
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 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.
V tej noči je bil Belšacár, kralj Kaldejcev, umorjen.
31 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
Medijec Darej je dobil kraljestvo; bil je star okoli dvainšestdeset let.
