< Daniel 5 >

1 Baltasar the king made a great supper for his thousand nobles, and [there was] wine before the thousand.
Nanao sabadidake jabajaba t’i Belsatsare mpanjaka ho ami’ty arivo’ o roandria’eo vaho ninon-divay añ’atrefa’ i arivoy.
2 And Baltasar drinking gave orders as he tasted the wine that they should bring the gold and silver vessels, which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought forth from the temple in Jerusalem; that the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, should drink out of them.
Naho nitsopek’ i divaiy t’i Belsatsare, le linili’e te hasese ama’e o fanake volamena naho volafoty nendesen-drae’e Nebokadnetsare boak’ amy kivohon’ Añahare e Ierosalaime añeio, hikamà’ o roandria’eo naho o vali’eo vaho o sakeza’eo.
3 So the gold and silver vessels were brought which [Nabuchodonosor] had taken out of the temple of God in Jerusalem; and the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, drank out of them.
Aa le na­sese mb’eo o fanake nendeseñe boak’ an-kivohon’ anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosa­laime añeo naho nikama ama’e i mpanjakay naho o roandria’eo naho o vali’eo vaho o sakeza’eo.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
Ie nigenoke divay naho nandrenge o ‘ndrahare volamena naho volafoty, torisìke naho viñe vaho vatoo,
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote in front of the lamp on the plaster of the wall of the king's house: and the king saw the knuckles of the hand that wrote.
le nisodehañe eo amy zao ty rambo-pità’ ondaty, nanokitse aolo’ ty fitam-pailo amy pako’ i rindriñe añ’ anjombam-panjakay vaho niisa’ i mpanjakay ty ila’ i fitañe nanokitsey.
6 Then the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one another.
Nikòfoty amy zao i mpanjakay naho nitsobore aze i fitsakorea’ey, nibalake ka ty kitambe an-toha’eo, vaho nifamango o ongo’eo.
7 And the king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers; and he said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation, shall be clothed with scarlet, and [there shall be] a golden chain upon his neck, and he shall be the third ruler in my kingdom.
Nikoik’ amy zao i mpanjakay t’ie haneseañe ambiasa naho nte-Kasdý vaho mpitoky. Nisaon­tsy amo mahihi’ o Baveleo i mpanjakay ami’ty hoe: Ze mahavaky ty sokitse tiañe naho hanoro ahy i fandrazaña’ey, le ho sikinañe malò-mavo naho ho ravaheñe sili­sily volamena ty fititia’e, vaho ho mpifehe ty faha-telo’ ty fifeheañe toy.
8 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known the interpretation to the king.
Songa niheo mb’eo ondaty mahihi’ i mpanjakaio, fe tsy nahavaky i soki­tsey, tsy nahabentatse i fandrazaña’ey amy mpanjakay.
9 And king Baltasar was troubled, and his countenance changed upon him, and his nobles were troubled with him.
Nangonotse amy zao t’i Belsatsare mpanjaka naho niova laharañe, vaho veren-draha o roandria’eo.
10 Then the queen came into the banquet house, and said, O king, live for ever: let not your thoughts trouble you, and let not your countenance be changed.
Ie amy saontsi’ i mpanjakay naho o roandria’eoy le nimoak’ amy efe-tsabadidakey ty vali’ i mpanjakay, le hoe ty enta’ i vali’ey, Ry mpanjaka, lava-havelo: ko ado’o hitsobore azo o vetsevetse’oo, ndra hikomavo o lahara’oo.
11 There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the Spirit of God; and in the days of your father watchfulness and understanding were found in him; and king Nabuchodonosor your father made him chief of the enchanters, magicians, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers.
Am-pifehea’o ao t’indaty, le ama’e ty Arofon’ Añahare Masiñe; ie fahan-drae’o ty nitendrehañe hazavàñe, hilala naho hihitse; vaho manahake ty hilalan’ Añahare ty nizoeñe ama’e; ie ty nanoe’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka, rae’o, i rae’o mpanjakay, roandria ambone’ ze hene ambiasa naho mpañandro naho nte-Kasdy vaho mpitoky,
12 For [there is] an excellent spirit in him, and sense and understanding in him, interpreting dreams [as he does], and answering hard [questions], and solving difficulties: [it is] Daniel, and the king gave him the name of Baltasar: now then let him be called, and he shall tell you the interpretation of the writing.
amy te nioniñe amy Daniele, i natao’ i mpanjakay Belsatsarey, ty arofo loho ambone, ty hilala mitiotiotse; rendre’e iaby ty nofy naho ty fandrazañañe naho ty fampiborahañe ze raha mietake, vaho ty fandevoñañe hakahaka. Aa le ampikanjio t’i Daniele, hanoro i fandrazaña’ey.
13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king: and the king said to Daniel, Are you Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judea, which the king my father brought?
Aa le nasese añ’ atrefa’ i mpanjakay t’i Daniele naho hoe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay amy Daniele: Ihe hao i Daniele anam-pirohi’ Iehodà nendesen-draeko boake Iehodày?
14 I have heard concerning you, that the Spirit of God is in you, and [that] watchfulness and understanding and excellent wisdom have been found in you.
Fa tsinanoko ty ama’o, te ama’o ty Arofon’ Añahare Masiñe, naho te nizoeñe ama’o ty hazavàñe naho ty faha­rendrehañe vaho ty hihitse ambone.
15 And now, the wise men, magicians, [and] soothsayers, have come in before me, to read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation: but they could not tell it me.
Ie henaneo fa nasese amako o mahihitseo, naho o mpañandroo hamaky o sokitseo hampahafohiñe ahy ty fandrazaña’e, fe tsy naboa’ iareo amako ty famentabentarañ’ aze.
16 And I have heard concerning you, that you are able to make interpretations: now then if you shall be able to read the writing, and to make known to me the interpretation of it, you shall be clothed with purple, and there shall be a golden chain upon your neck, and you shall be third ruler in my kingdom.
Aa le tsinanoko ty ama’o, te mahafita­roñe ty mietake, vaho mahafibalake ty sarotse; aa ie mahavaky i sokitsey naho mahaborake i fandra­zaña’ey amako, le hasaroñe malò-mavo, naho ho ravaheñe silisily volamena i fititia’o, vaho ho mpifehe faha-telo’ ty fifeheañe toy.
17 And Daniel said, before the king, Let your gifts be to yourself, and give the present of your house to another; but I will read the writing, and will make known to you the interpretation of it.
Hoe ty natoi’ i Daniele añatrefa’ i mpanjakay, Tano ama’o o tambeo naho atoloro ami’ty ila’e o ravoravoo fe ho vakieko ama’o o sokitseo, ry mpanjaka, vaho ho razañeko ama’o.
18 O king, the most high God gave to your father Nabuchodonosor a kingdom, and majesty, and honor, and glory:
Ry mpanjakao, Natolon’ Añahare Andindimoneñe ao amy Nebokadnetsare rae’o ty fifeheañe naho ty volonahetse, naho ty engeñe vaho ty fikantsoñañe;
19 and by reason of the majesty which he gave to him, all nations, tribes, [and] languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he killed; and whom he would he struck; and whom he would he exalted; and whom he would he abased.
le amy volonahetse natolotse azey ty nampañeveñe naho nampihondrahondra ze kilakila ondaty naho fifeheañe naho fameleke añatrefa’e; le navetra’e ze satri’e, naho nitana’e ho veloñe ze satri’e, le naonjo’e ze satri’e, vaho nafotsa’e ze satri’e.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was emboldened to act proudly, he was deposed from his royal throne, and [his] honor was taken from him.
F’ie nitoabotse ty arofo’e naho nihagàñe am-pirengevohañe ty tro’e, vaho nitoloñe an-kavokavoke, le nafo­tsak’ amy fiambesam-pifehea’ey vaho nasintak’ ama’e ty enge’e
21 And he was driven forth from men; and his heart was given him after the nature of wild beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; and they fed him with grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the most high God is Lord of the kingdom of men, and will give it to whoever he shall please.
le rinoake boak’ amo ana’ ondatio naho nampindrezeñe amo bibio ty arofo’e, naho amo bo­rike li-io ty akiba’e; nampikaman’ aze ty ahetse hoe añombe, naho nampandroe’ i zonon-dikerañey ty fañova’e ampara’ te nifohi’e te felehen’ Añahare o fifehea’ ondatio vaho ampijadoñe’e ho mpifehe ze satri’e.
22 And you accordingly, his son, O Baltasar, has not humbled your heart before God: know you not all this?
Fa ihe ry Belsatsare, ana’e, tsy nampireke arofo ndra te hene nifohi’o;
23 And you has been exalted against the Lord God of heaven; and they have brought before you the vessels of his house, and you, and your nobles, and your mistresses, and your concubines, have drunk wine out of them; and you has praised the gods of gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and wood, and stone, which see not, and which hear not, and know not: and the God in whose hand are your breath, and all your ways has you not glorified.
te mone nitroatse hiatreatre i Talèn-dike­rañey naho nasese añatrefa’o eo o fana’ i anjomba’eio naho songa ninon-divay ama’e irehe naho o roandria’oo, o vali’oo naho o sakeza’oo; le nirengè’o o ‘ndrahare volamena naho volafoty, an-torisìke, hatae naho vato, ze tsy mahatrea, tsy mahatsanoñe. tsy maharendrekeo, vaho mbe lia’e tsy niasia’o t’i Andrianañahare, ie hene am-pità’e ao ty fiai’o naho o fitoloña’oo.
24 Therefore from his presence has been sent forth the knuckle of a hand; and he has ordered the writing.
Aa le nampañitrifeñe boak’ añatrefa’e ty lela-pitañe, vaho nisokireñe o ­sokitseo.
25 And this is the ordered writing, Mane, Thekel, Phares.
Le izao ty sokitse nipatere’e: Mene, Mene, Tekele, Parase.
26 This is the interpretation of the sentence: Mane; God has measured your kingdom, and finished it.
Inao ty fan­drazañañ’aze: Mene: Vinolilin’ Añahare ty fifehea’o vaho nagado’e.
27 Thekel; it has been weighed in the balance, and found lacking.
Tekèle: Linanja’ am-pandanjan-drehe vaho nizoeñe te tomotse.
28 Phares; your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Parase: fa zinara’ i fifeheañey vaho natolotse amo nte-Maday naho nte-Paraseo.
29 Then Baltasar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put the golden chain about his neck, and proclaimed concerning him that he was the third ruler in the kingdom.
Aa le namantoke t’i Belsatsare, vaho nisikina’ iareo malò-mavo t’i Daniele, naho niravaheñe silisily volamena ty am-pititia’e eo, vaho nitsey ty ama’e t’ie ro mpifehe faha-telo’ i fifeheañey.
30 In the same night was Baltasar the Chaldean king slain.
Amy haleñey te navetrake i Belsatsare mpanjàka’ o nte-Kasdìo.
31 And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being sixty-two years [old].
Nandrambe i fifeheañey ami’ty tao’e faha-enempolo-ro’amby t’i Dariavese.
