Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king has made a great feast to one thousand of his great men, and before the one thousand he is drinking wine;
| وَأَقَامَ بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ الْمَلِكُ مَأْدُبَةً عَظِيمَةً لِنُبَلاءِ دَوْلَتِهِ الأَلْفِ، وَشَرِبَ خَمْراً أَمَامَهُمْ. | ١ |
2 Belshazzar has said—while tasting the wine—to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that the king may drink with them, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَحْتَسِي الْخَمْرَ أَمَرَ بِإِحْضَارِ آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا أَبُوهُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِيَشْرَبَ بِها مَعَ نُبَلاءِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَزَوْجَاتِهِ وَمَحْظِيَّاتِهِ. | ٢ |
3 Then they have brought in the vessels of gold that had been taken out of the temple of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines, have drunk with them;
| فَأَحْضَرُوهَا وَشَرِبَ بِها الْمَلِكُ وَنُبَلاءُ مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَزَوْجَاتُهُ وَمَحْظِيَّاتُهُ | ٣ |
4 they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
| وَأَخَذُوا يُسَبِّحُونَ آلِهَةَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالنُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ وَالْخَشَبِ وَالْحَجَرِ. | ٤ |
5 In that hour fingers of a man’s hand have come forth, and they are writing in front of the lampstand, on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is writing;
| فَظَهَرَتْ أَصَابِعُ يَدِ إِنْسَانٍ وَخَطَّتْ بِإِزَاءِ الْمِصْبَاحِ عَلَى كِلْسِ جِدَارِ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، وَالْمَلِكُ يَشْهَدُ الْيَدَ الْكَاتِبَةَ. | ٥ |
6 then the king’s countenance has changed, and his thoughts trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are striking against one another.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ شَحُبَ وَجْهُ الْمَلِكِ وَأَفْزَعَتْهُ أَفْكَارُهُ وَاصْطَكَّتْ رُكْبَتَاهُ وَاعْتَرَاهُ الانْهِيَارُ، | ٦ |
7 The king calls mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king has answered and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, “Any man who reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, he puts on purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and he rules third in the kingdom.”
| فَزَعَقَ طَالِباً أَنْ يُحْضِرُوا السَّحَرَةَ وَالْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَالْمُنَجِّمِينَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيُّ رَجُلٍ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْكِتَابَةَ وَيُفَسِّرُ لِي مُحْتَوَاهَا، يَرْتَدِي الأُرْجُوَانَ وَقِلادَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ، وَيُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلَ الثَّالِثَ الْمُتَسَلِّطَ فِي الْمَمْلَكَةِ». | ٧ |
8 Then all the wise men of the king are coming up, and they are not able to read the writing, and to make known the interpretation to the king;
| فَأَقْبَلَ حُكَمَاءُ الْمَلِكِ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ عَجَزُوا عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْكِتَابَةِ وَعَنْ إِطْلاعِ الْمَلِكِ عَلَى تَفْسِيرِهَا. | ٨ |
9 then King Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
| فَدَبَّ الْفَزَعُ فِي الْمَلِكِ بَيْلْشَاصَّرَ، وَتَبَدَّلَتْ هَيْئَتُهُ وَاعْتَرَى عُظَمَاءَهُ الاضْطِرَابُ. | ٩ |
10 The queen, on account of the words of the king and his great men, has come up to the banquet-house. The queen has answered and said, “O king, live for all ages; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor your countenance be changed:
| وَعَلَى أَثَرِ كَلامِ الْمَلِكِ وَنُبَلائِهِ، أَقْبَلَتِ الْمَلِكَةُ الأُمُّ إِلَى قَاعَةِ الْمَأْدُبَةِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ لِتَعِشْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. لَا تُرَوِّعْكَ أَفْكَارُكَ، وَلا يَشْحَبْ وَجْهُكَ، | ١٠ |
11 there is a man in your kingdom in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and in the days of your father, light, and understanding, and wisdom—as the wisdom of the gods—was found in him; and your father King Nebuchadnezzar, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him—your father, O king—
| لأَنَّ فِي مَمْلَكَتِكَ رَجُلاً فِيهِ رُوحُ الآلِهَةِ الْقُدُّوسِينَ، وَقَدْ تَمَيَّزَ فِي عَهْدِ أَبِيكَ بِاسْتِنَارَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ كَحِكْمَةِ الآلِهَةِ، فَعَيَّنَهُ أَبُوكَ الْمَلِكُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ رَئِيساً لِلْمَجُوسِ وَالسَّحَرَةِ وَالْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَالْمُنَجِّمِينَ. | ١١ |
12 because that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of enigmas, and loosing of knots was found in him, in Daniel, whose name the king made Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and the interpretation he shows.”
| لأَنَّ دَانِيَالَ هَذَا الَّذِي دَعَاهُ الْمَلِكُ بَلْطَشَاصَّرَ، كَانَ يَتَحَلَّى بِرُوحٍ فَاضِلَةٍ وَمَعْرِفَةٍ وَفِطْنَةٍ، وَقُدْرَةٍ عَلَى تَفْسِيرِ الأَحْلامِ وَفَكِّ الأَلْغَازِ وَحَلِّ الْمُعْضِلاتِ. فَلْيُدْعَ الآنَ دَانِيَالُ لِيُطْلِعَكَ عَلَى تَفْسِيرِ الْكِتَابَةِ». | ١٢ |
13 Then Daniel has been caused to come up before the king; the king has answered and said to Daniel, “You are that Daniel who [is] of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, whom my father the king brought in out of Judah?
| حِينَئِذٍ اسْتُدْعِيَ دَانِيَالُ، فَمَثَلَ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «هَلْ أَنْتَ دَانِيَالُ مِنَ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَحْضَرَهُمْ أَبِي الْمَلِكُ مِنْ أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا؟ | ١٣ |
14 And I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods [is] in you, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been found in you.
| قَدْ سَمِعْتُ أَنَّ فِيكَ رُوحَ الآلِهَةِ وَأَنَّ فِيكَ اسْتِنَارَةً وَفِطْنَةً وَحِكْمَةً حَاذِقَةً. | ١٤ |
15 And now, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that they may read this writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to show the interpretation of the thing:
| وَقَدْ سَبَقَ أَنْ أُحْضِرَ أَمَامِي الْحُكَمَاءُ وَالسَّحَرَةُ لِيَقْرَأُوا هَذِهِ الْكِتَابَةَ وَيُطْلِعُونِي عَلَى تَفْسِيرِهَا فَعَجَزُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ. | ١٥ |
16 and I have heard of you, that you are able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, behold—you are able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know—purple you put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on your neck, and you rule third in the kingdom.”
| وَأَنَا قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى تَفْسِيرِ الأَحْلامِ وَحَلِّ الْمُعْضِلاتِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ الآنَ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ الْكِتَابَةَ وَتُطْلِعَنِي عَلَى تَفْسِيرِهَا، تَرْتَدِي الأُرْجُوَانَ وَتَتَقَلَّدُ طَوْقَ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِكَ، وَتُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلَ الثَّالِثَ الْمُتَسَلِّطَ فِي الْمَمْلَكَةِ». | ١٦ |
17 Then Daniel has answered and said before the king, “Your gifts be to yourself, and give your fee to another; nevertheless, the writing I read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know;
| فَأَجَابَ دَانِيَالُ الْمَلِكَ: «لِتَبْقَ عَطَايَاكَ لَكَ، وَجُدْ بِهِبَاتِكَ عَلَى غَيْرِي، وَلَكِنِّي أَقْرَأُ الْكِتَابَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ وَأُطْلِعُهُ عَلَى تَفْسِيرِهَا. | ١٧ |
18 you, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor, gave to your father Nebuchadnezzar:
| أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ قَدْ وَهَبَ اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ أَبَاكَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مُلْكاً وَعَظَمَةً وَجَلالاً وَبَهَاءً. | ١٨ |
19 and because of the greatness that He gave to him, all peoples, nations, and languages were trembling and fearing before him: whom he willed he was slaying, and whom he willed he was keeping alive, and whom he willed he was raising up, and whom he willed he was making low;
| وَلِفَرْطِ عَظَمَتِهِ الَّتِي أَنْعَمَ اللهُ بِها عَلَيْهِ، كَانَتْ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ وَالشُّعُوبِ مِنْ كُلِّ لِسَانٍ تَرْتَعِدُ أَمَامَهُ وَتَفْزَعُ، فَكَانَ يَقْتُلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ، وَيَسْتَحْيِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ، يَرْفَعُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَضَعُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ. | ١٩ |
20 and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he has been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away from him,
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَمَخَ قَلْبُهُ وَقَسَتْ رُوحُهُ تَعَنُّتاً، عُزِلَ عَنْ عَرْشِ مُلْكِهِ وَجُرِّدَ مِنْ جَلالِهِ، | ٢٠ |
21 and he is driven from the sons of men, and his heart has been like with the beasts, and with the wild donkeys [is] his dwelling; they cause him to eat the herb like oxen, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, until he has known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He wills He raises up over it.
| وَطُرِدَ مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ، وَمَاثَلَ عَقْلُهُ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ، وَصَارَ مَأْوَاهُ مَعَ الْحَمِيرِ الْوَحْشِيَّةِ، فَأَطْعَمُوهُ الْعُشْبَ كَالثِّيرَانِ، وَابْتَلَّ جِسْمُهُ بِنَدَى السَّمَاءِ، حَتَّى عَلِمَ أَنَّ اللهَ الْعَلِيَّ هُوَ الْمُتَسَلِّطُ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ النَّاسِ، وَأَنَّهُ يُوَلِّي عَلَيْهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ. | ٢١ |
22 And you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though all this you have known;
| وَأَنْتَ يَا بَيلْشَاصَّرُ ابْنُهُ لَمْ يَتَوَاضَعْ قَلْبُكَ، مَعَ عِلْمِكَ بِكُلِّ هَذَا، | ٢٢ |
23 and against the Lord of the heavens you have lifted up yourself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before you, and you, and your great men, your wives, and your concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, you have praised: and the God in whose hand [is] your breath, and all your ways, Him you have not honored.
| بَلْ تَغَطْرَسْتَ عَلَى رَبِّ السَّمَاءِ، فَأَحْضَرُوا أَمَامَكَ آنِيَةَ هَيْكَلِهِ لِتَشْرَبَ بِها الْخَمْرَ، أَنْتَ وَنُبَلَاءُ دَوْلَتِكَ وَزَوْجَاتُكَ وَمَحْظِيَّاتُكَ، وَسَبَّحْتَ آلِهَةَ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَالنُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ وَالْخَشَبِ وَالْحَجَرِ الَّتِي لَا تُبْصِرُ وَلا تَسْمَعُ وَلا تُدْرِكُ، أَمَّا اللهُ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ رُوحُكَ وَلَهُ كُلُّ طُرُقِكَ، فَلَمْ تُمَجِّدْهُ. | ٢٣ |
24 Then from before Him is the extremity of the hand sent, and the writing is noted down;
| عِنْدَئِذٍ، أَرْسَلَ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِ هَذِهِ الْيَدَ فَخَطَّتْ هَذِهِ الْكِتَابَةَ. | ٢٤ |
25 and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
| وَهِيَ: مَنَا مَنَا تَقَيْلُ وَفَرْسِينُ | ٢٥ |
26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered—God has numbered your kingdom, and has finished it.
| وَتَفْسِيرُهَا مَنَا: أَحْصَى اللهُ أَيَّامَ مُلْكِكَ وَأَنْهَاهُ. | ٢٦ |
27 Weighed—You are weighed in the balances, and have been found lacking.
| تَقَيْلُ: وُزِنْتَ بِالْمَوَازِينِ فَوُجِدْتَ نَاقِصاً. | ٢٧ |
28 Divided—Your kingdom is divided, and it has been given to the Medes and Persians.”
| فَرْسِ: شُطِرَتْ مَمْلَكَتُكَ وَأُعْطِيَتْ لِمَادِي وَفَارِسَ». | ٢٨ |
29 Then Belshazzar has spoken, and they have clothed Daniel with purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and they have proclaimed concerning him that he is the third ruler in the kingdom.
| حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ بَيلْشَاصَّرُ أَنْ يَخْلَعُوا عَلَى دَانِيَالَ الأُرْجُوَانَ وَيُطَوِّقُوا عُنُقَهُ بِقِلَادَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَيُذِيعُوا فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ الْبِلَادِ أَنَّهُ أَصْبَحَ الْمُتَسَلِّطَ الثَّالِثَ فِي الْمَمْلَكَةِ. | ٢٩ |
30 In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
| فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ قُتِلَ بَيلْشَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، | ٣٠ |
31 and Darius the Mede has received the kingdom when a son of sixty-two years.
| وَاسْتَوْلَى دَارِيُّوسُ الْمَادِيُّ عَلَى الْمَمْلَكَةِ وَهُوَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَالسِّتِّينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ. | ٣١ |
