< Daniel 5 >
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Si Belsasar na hari ay gumawa ng malaking piging sa isang libo na kaniyang mga mahal na tao, at uminom ng alak sa harap ng sanglibo.
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.
Samantalang nilalasap ni Belsasar ang alak, ay nagutos na dalhin doon ang mga ginto at pilak na sisidlan na kinuha ni Nabucodonosor na kaniyang ama sa templo na nasa Jerusalem; upang mainuman ng hari, ng kaniyang mga mahal na tao, ng kaniyang mga asawa, at ng kaniyang mga babae.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y dinala nila ang mga gintong sisidlan na kinuha sa templo ng bahay ng Dios na nasa Jerusalem; at ininuman ng hari at ng kaniyang mga mahal na tao, at ng kaniyang mga asawa at ng kaniyang mga babae.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Sila'y nangaginuman ng alak, at nagsipuri sa mga dios na ginto, at pilak, tanso, bakal, kahoy, at bato.
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.
Nang oras ding yaon ay may lumabas na mga daliri ng kamay ng isang tao at sumulat sa tapat ng kandelero sa panig na may palitada ng palacio: at nakita ng hari ang bahagi ng kamay na sumulat.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y nagbago ang pagmumukha ng hari, at binagabag siya ng kaniyang mga pagiisip; at ang pagkakasugpong ng kaniyang mga balakang ay nakalag, at ang kaniyang mga tuhod ay nagkaumpugan.
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.'
Ang hari ay sumigaw ng malakas, na papasukin ang mga enkantador, mga Caldeo, at mga manghuhula. Ang hari ay nagsalita, at nagsabi sa mga pantas sa Babilonia, Sinomang makababasa ng sulat na ito, at makapagpapaaninaw sa akin ng kahulugan niyan, magdadamit ng kulay morado, at magkakaroon ng kuwintas na ginto sa palibot ng kaniyang leeg, at magiging ikatlong puno sa kaharian.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y nagsipasok ang lahat na pantas ng hari; nguni't hindi nila nabasa ang sulat, o naipaaninaw man sa hari ang kahulugan niyaon.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly affrighted, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
Nang magkagayo'y nabagabag na mainam ang haring Belsasar, at ang kaniyang pagmumukha ay nabago, at ang kaniyang mga mahal na tao ay nangatitigilan.
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;
Ang reina, dahil sa mga salita ng hari at ng kaniyang mga mahal na tao ay pumasok sa bahay na pinagpigingan: ang reina ay nagsalita, at nagsabi, Oh hari, mabuhay ka magpakailan man; huwag kang bagabagin ng iyong mga pagiisip, o mabago man ang iyong pagmumukha.
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;
May isang lalake sa iyong kaharian na kinaroroonan ng espiritu ng mga banal na dios; at sa mga kaarawan ng iyong ama, ay nasumpungan sa kaniya ang liwanag at unawa at karunungan, na gaya ng karunungan ng mga dios; at ang haring Nabucodonosor, na iyong ama, ang hari, sinasabi ko, ang iyong ama, ay ginawa niya siyang panginoon ng mga mago, ng mga enkantador, ng mga Caldeo, at ng mga manghuhula;
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.'
Palibhasa'y isang marilag na espiritu, at kaalaman, at unawa, pagpapaaninaw ng mga panaginip, at pagpapakilala ng mga malabong salita, at pagpapaliwanag ng pagaalinlangan, ay nangasumpungan sa Daniel na iyan, na pinanganlan ng hari na Beltsasar. Tawagin nga si Daniel, at kaniyang ipaaaninaw ang kahulugan.
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?
Nang magkagayo'y dinala si Daniel sa harap ng hari. Ang hari ay nagsalita, at nagsabi kay Daniel, Ikaw baga'y si Daniel na sa mga anak ng pagkabihag sa Juda, na kinuha sa Juda ng haring aking ama?
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.
Nabalitaan kita, na ang espiritu ng mga dios ay sumasa iyo, at ang liwanag at unawa at marilag na karunungan ay masusumpungan sa iyo.
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.
At ang mga pantas nga, ang mga enkantador, dinala sa harap ko, upang kanilang basahin ang sulat na ito, at ipaaninaw sa akin ang kahulugan; nguni't hindi nila naipaaninaw ang kahulugan ng bagay.
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.'
Nguni't nabalitaan kita, na ikaw ay makapagpapaaninaw ng mga kahulugan, at makapagpapaliwanag ng alinlangan: kung iyo ngang mabasa ang sulat, at maipaaninaw sa akin ang kahulugan, mananamit ka ng kulay morado, at magkakaroon ng kuwintas na ginto sa palibot ng iyong leeg, at ikaw ay magiging ikatlong puno sa kaharian.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y sumagot, at nagsabi si Daniel sa harap ng hari, Iyo na ang iyong mga kaloob, at ibigay mo ang iyong mga ganting pala sa iba; gayon ma'y aking babasahin sa hari ang sulat, at ipaaninaw ko sa kaniya ang kahulugan.
18 O thou king, God Most High gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;
Oh ikaw na hari, ang Kataastaasang Dios, nagbigay kay Nabucodonosor na iyong ama ng kaharian, at kadakilaan, at kaluwalhatian, at kamahalan:
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.
At dahil sa kadakilaan na ibinigay niya sa kaniya, nanginig at natakot sa harap niya lahat ng mga bayan, bansa, at wika: ang kaniyang ibiging patayin ay kaniyang pinapatay, at ang kaniyang ibiging buhayin ay kaniyang binubuhay; at ang ibiging itaas ay kaniyang itinataas, at ang ibiging ibaba ay kaniyang ibinababa.
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;
Nguni't nang ang kaniyang puso ay magpakataas, at ang kaniyang espiritu ay magmatigas na siya'y gumawang may kapalaluan, siya'y ibinaba sa kaniyang luklukang pagkahari, at inalis nila ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian:
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.
At siya'y pinalayas sa mga anak ng mga tao, at ang kaniyang puso ay naging gaya ng sa mga hayop, at ang kaniyang tahanan ay napasama sa maiilap na mga asno; siya'y pinakain ng damo na gaya ng mga baka, at ang kaniyang katawan ay nabasa ng hamog ng langit; hanggang sa kaniyang naalaman na ang Kataastaasang Dios ay nagpupuno sa kaharian ng mga tao, at iniluklok niya roon ang sinomang kaniyang ibigin.
22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this;
At ikaw na kaniyang anak, Oh Belsasar, hindi mo pinapagpakumbaba ang iyong puso, bagaman iyong nalalaman ang lahat na ito,
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;
Kundi ikaw ay nagpakataas laban sa Panginoon ng langit; at kanilang dinala ang mga kasangkapan ng kaniyang bahay sa harap mo, at ikaw, at ang iyong mga mahal na tao, ang iyong mga asawa at ang iyong mga babae, ay nagsiinom ng alak sa mga yaon; at iyong pinuri ang mga dios na pilak, at ginto, tanso, bakal, kahoy at bato, na hindi nangakakakita, o nangakakarinig man, o nakakaalam man; at ang Dios na kinaroroonan ng iyong hininga, at kinaroroonan ng lahat na iyong lakad, hindi mo niluwalhati.
24 then was the palm of the hand sent from before Him, and this writing was inscribed.
Nang magkagayo'y ang bahagi nga ng kamay ay sinugo mula sa harap niya, at ang sulat na ito'y nalagda.
25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN.
At ito ang sulat na nalagda, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end.
Ito ang kahulugan ng bagay: MENE; binilang ng Dios ang iyong kaharian, at niwakasan.
27 TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
TEKEL; ikaw ay tinimbang sa timbangan, at ikaw ay nasumpungang kulang.
28 PERES, thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.'
PERES; ang iyong kaharian ay hinati at ibinigay sa mga taga Media at taga Persia.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y nagutos si Belsasar, at pinanamit nila si Daniel ng kulay morado, at nilagyan ng kuwintas na ginto sa palibot ng leeg niya, at nagtanyag tungkol sa kaniya, na siya'y ikatlong puno sa kaharian.
30 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.
Nang gabing yaon ay napatay si Belsasar na hari ng mga taga Caldea.
31 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
At tinanggap ni Dario na taga Media ang kaharian, na noo'y anim na pu't dalawang taon ang gulang niya.
