Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
O rei Belshazzar deu um grande banquete aos seus mil grandes, e bebeu vinho na presença dos mil.
2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
Havendo Belshazzar provado o vinho, mandou trazer os vasos de oiro e de prata, que Nabucodonozor, seu pae, tinha tirado do templo que estava em Jerusalem, para que bebessem por elles o rei, e os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas.
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 princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
Então trouxeram os vasos de oiro, que foram tirados do templo da casa de Deus, que estava em Jerusalem, e beberam por elles o rei, os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Beberam o vinho, e deram louvores aos deuses de oiro, e de prata, de cobre, de ferro, de madeira, e de pedra.
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Na mesma hora sahiam uns dedos de mão de homem, e escreviam, defronte do castiçal, na caiadura da parede do palacio real; e o rei via a parte da mão que estava escrevendo.
6 Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
Então se mudou o semblante do rei, e os seus pensamentos o turbaram: as juntas dos seus lombos se relaxaram, e os seus joelhos bateram um no outro.
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
E clamou o rei com força, que se introduzissem os astrologos, os chaldeos e os adivinhadores: e fallou o rei, e disse aos sabios de Babylonia: Qualquer que ler esta escriptura, e me declarar a sua interpretação, será vestido da purpura, e trará uma cadeia de oiro ao pescoço, e será, no reino, o terceiro dominador.
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 thereof.
Então entraram todos os sabios do rei; mas não poderam ler a escriptura, nem fazer saber ao rei a sua interpretação.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
Então o rei Belshazzar perturbou-se muito, e mudou-se n'elle o seu semblante; e os seus grandes estavam sobresaltados.
10 Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
A rainha, pois, por causa das palavras do rei e dos seus grandes, entrou na casa do banquete: e fallou a rainha, e disse: Ó rei, vive para sempre! não te turbem os teus pensamentos, nem se mude o teu semblante.
11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
Ha um homem no teu reino, no qual ha o espirito dos deuses sanctos; e nos dias de teu pae se achou n'elle luz, e intelligencia, e sabedoria, como a sabedoria dos deuses; e teu pae, o rei Nabucodonozor, teu pae, ó rei, o constituiu chefe dos magos, dos astrologos, dos chaldeos, e dos adivinhadores;
12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
Porquanto se achou n'este Daniel um espirito excellente, e sciencia e entendimento, interpretando sonhos, e declarando enigmas, e solvendo duvidas, ao qual rei poz o nome de Belteshazzar: chame-se pois agora Daniel, e elle declarará a interpretação.
13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
Então Daniel foi introduzido á presença do rei. Fallou o rei, e disse a Daniel: És tu aquelle Daniel, dos captivos de Judah, que o rei, meu pae, trouxe de Judah?
14 I have even heard of thee, that the Spirit of God is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
Porque tenho ouvido dizer a teu respeito que o espirito dos deuses está em ti, e que a luz, e o entendimento e a excellente sabedoria se acham em ti.
15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:
E agora foram introduzidos á minha presença os sabios e os astrologos, para lerem esta escriptura, e me fazerem saber a sua interpretação; mas não poderam declarar a interpretação d'estas palavras.
16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Eu porém tenho ouvido dizer de ti que podes dar interpretações e solver duvidas: agora, se poderes ler esta escriptura, e fazer-me saber a sua interpretação, serás vestido de purpura, e terás cadeia de oiro ao pescoço, e no reino serás o terceiro dominador.
17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Então respondeu Daniel, e disse na presença do rei: Os teus dons fiquem comtigo, e dá os teus presentes a outro; comtudo lerei ao rei a escriptura, e lhe farei saber a interpretação.
18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
Quanto a ti, ó rei! Deus, o Altissimo, deu a Nabucodonozor, teu pae, o reino, e a grandeza, e a gloria, e a magnificencia.
19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, 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 set up; and whom he would he put down.
E por causa da grandeza, que lhe deu, todos os povos, nações e linguas tremiam e temiam diante d'elle: a quem queria matava, e a quem queria dava a vida; e a quem queria engrandecia, e a quem queria abatia.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
Mas quando o seu coração se exalçou, e o seu espirito se endureceu em soberba, foi derribado do seu throno real, e passou d'elle a sua gloria.
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 donkeys: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
E foi lançado d'entre os filhos dos homens, e o seu coração foi feito similhante ao das bestas, e a sua morada foi com os jumentos montezes; fizeram-n'o comer a herva como os bois, e do orvalho do céu foi molhado o seu corpo, até que conheceu que Deus, o Altissimo, domina sobre os reinos dos homens, e a quem quer constitue sobre elles.
22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
E tu, seu filho Belshazzar, não humilhaste o teu coração, ainda que soubeste tudo isto.
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 wives, 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:
E te levantaste contra o Senhor do céu, pois trouxeram os vasos da casa d'elle perante ti, e tu, os teus grandes, as tuas mulheres e as tuas concubinas, bebestes vinho por elles; de mais d'isto, déste louvores aos deuses de prata, de oiro, de cobre, de ferro, de madeira e de pedra, que nem vêem, nem ouvem, nem sabem; mas a Deus, em cuja mão está a tua vida, e todos os teus caminhos, a elle não glorificaste.
24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Então d'elle foi enviada aquella parte da mão, e escreveu-se esta escriptura.
25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
Esta pois é a escriptura que se escreveu: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
Esta é a interpretação d'aquillo: Mene: Contou Deus o teu reino, e o acabou.
27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
Tekel: Pesado foste na balança, e foste achado em falta.
28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Peres: Dividido foi o teu reino, e deu-se aos medos e aos persas.
29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Então mandou Belshazzar que vestissem a Daniel de purpura, e que lhe pozessem uma cadeia de oiro ao pescoço, e proclamassem a respeito d'elle que havia de ser o terceiro dominador do reino.
30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
Mas na mesma noite foi morto Belshazzar, rei dos chaldeos.
31 And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
E Dario, o medo, occupou o reino, sendo da edade de sessenta e dois annos.
