< 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;
Belsazara mpanjaka nanao fanasana lehibe ho an’ ny mpanolo-tsainy arivo lahy, ary teo anatrehan’ ireny no nisotroany divay.
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.
Nony efa nisotro divay Belsazara, dia nasainy nalaina ny fanaka volamena sy volafotsy izay nalain’ i Nebokadnezara rainy avy tao amin’ ny tempoly tany Jerosalema, mba hisotroan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanolotsainy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny vaditsindranony.
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;
Dia nentiny ny fanaka volamena izay nalaina avy teo amin’ ny tempolin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra tany Jerosalema, ary ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanolo-tsainy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny vaditsindranony nisotro taminy.
4 they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Eny, nisotro divay izy sady nankalaza ny andriamanitra volamena sy volafotsy sy varahina sy vy sy hazo ary vato.
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;
Tamin’ izay dia nisy rantsan-tànan’ olona niseho ka nanoratra tandrifin’ ny jiro tamin’ ny lalotra sokay teo amin’ ny rindrin’ ny lapan’ ny mpanjaka; ary ny mpanjaka nahita ilay rantsan-tanana nanoratra.
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.
Dia nivaloarika ny tarehin’ ny mpanjaka, ary naharaiki-tahotra azy ny eritreriny, ka dia nivahavaha ny valahany, sady niady ny lohaliny.
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.”
Dia niantso mafy ny mpanjaka hampiditra ny mpisikidy sy ny Kaldeana ary ny mpanandro. Ary ny mpanjaka niteny ka nanao tamin’ ny olon-kendrin’ i Babylona hoe: Na zovy na zovy no mahavaky io soratra io sady milaza ny heviny amiko dia hampiakanjoina volomparasy, sy hasiana rojo volamena ny vozony, ary ho isan’ ny mpanapaka telo lahy amin’ ny fanjakana izy.
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;
Dia niditra avokoa ny olon-kendrin’ ny mpanjaka, nefa tsy nisy nahavaky ny soratra na nampahalala ny mpanjaka ny heviny.
9 then King Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
Dia natahotra indrindra Belsazara mpanjaka, ka nivaloarika ny tarehiny, ary vaka terỳ ny mpanolo-tsainy.
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:
Ary ny renin’ ny mpanjaka niditra tao amin’ ny trano fanasana noho ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanolo-tsainy; dia niteny ny renin’ ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Ry mpanjaka ô, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao, aoka tsy haharaiki-tahotra anao ny eritreritrao, na hivaloarika ny tarehinao.
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—
Misy lehilahy ato amin’ ny fanjakanao izay manana fanahin’ ireo andriamanitra masìna ao anatiny; ary fony fahavelon-drainao dia hita fa nisy fahazavan-tsaina sy fahalalana ary fahendrena tao aminy tahaka ny fahendren’ ireo andriamanitra; ka nataon’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka rainao, dia ny mpanjaka rainao, hoy izaho, ho lehiben’ ny ombiasy sy ny mpisikidy sy ny Kaldeana ary ny mpanandro izy;
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.”
fa fanahy hendry sy fahalalana sy saina ary fahaiza-milaza nofy sy fanambarana teny sarotra sy fampisehoana hevitra miafina no hita tao amin’ izany Daniela izany, izay nomen’ ny mpanjaka anarana hoe Beltesazara, koa aoka hantsoina Daniela, fa holazainy ny hevitry ny teny.
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?
Dia nampidirina teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka Daniela. Ary ny mpanjaka niteny ka nanao tamin’ i Daniela hoe: Hianao mantsy no Daniela, ilay isan’ ny babo avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, izay nentin’ ny mpanjaka raiko avy tany Joda.
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.
Efa reko ny aminao, fa ianao manana fanahin’ ireo andriamanitra sady misy fahazavan-tsaina sy fahalalana ary fahendrena tsara hita ao aminao.
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:
Ary vao teo dia efa nampidirina teto anatrehako ny olon-kendry sy ny mpisikidy hamaky io soratra io sy hampahafantatra ahy ny heviny; fa tsy nahalaza ny hevitry ny teny izy;
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.”
ary efa reko ny aminao, fa ianao no mahalaza hevitra sy mahay mampiseho hevitra miafina; koa raha mahavaky ny soratra sy mampahafantatra ahy ny heviny ianao, dia hampiakanjoina volomparasy, sy hasiana rofo volamena ny vozonao, ary ho isan’ ny mpanapaka telo lahy amin’ ny fanjakana ianao.
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;
Dia namaly Daniela ka nanao teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Aoka ihany ho anao ny fanomezanao, ary ny valim-pitianao omeo ny hafa; nefa hovakiko amin’ ny mpanjaka ihany ny soratra, ary hampahafantariko azy ny heviny.
18 you, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor, gave to your father Nebuchadnezzar:
Ny aminao, ry mpanjaka ô, Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra efa nanome fanjakana sy fahalehibiazana sy voninahitra ary laza an’ i Nebokadnezara rainao;
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;
ary noho ny fahalehibiazana izay nomeny azy, ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena ary ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra dia nangovitra sy natahotra teo anatrehany; izay tiany hovonoina dia novonoiny; ary izay tiany hovelomina dia novelominy; ary izay tiany hasandratra dia nasandrany; ary izay tiany haetry dia naetriny.
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,
Fa nony niavonavona kosa ny fony, ary nikikitra tamin’ ny fireharehana ny fanahiny, dia naetry niala tamin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakany izy, ary ny voninahiny nesorina taminy;
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.
dia noroahina niala tamin’ ny zanak’ olombelona izy; ary ny fony natao tahaka ny an’ ny biby, ary ny fonenany tany amin’ ny boriki-dia, dia nampihinanina ahitra toy ny omby izy, ary kotsan’ ny andon’ ny lanitra ny tenany, ambara-pahafantany fa Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra no manapaka amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny olona, ary izay tiany no tendreny ho mpanjakany.
22 And you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though all this you have known;
Ary ianao, ry Belsazara zanany, dia tsy mba nampietry ny fonao, na dia fantatrao aza izany rehetra izany;
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.
fa niavonavona tamin’ ny Tompon’ ny lanitra ianao; ary ny fanaky ny tranon’ Andriamanitra dia nentina eto anatrehanao, ary ianao sy ny mpanolo-tsainao sy ny vadinao mbamin’ ny vaditsindranonao nisotro divay taminy; ary ianao nankalaza ny andriamanitra volafotsy sy volamena sy varahina sy vy sy hazo ary vato, izay tsy mahita, na mandre, na mahalala; fa Andriamanitra Izay mitana ny ainao sady Tompon’ ny alehanao rehetra dia tsy mba nankalazainao.
24 Then from before Him is the extremity of the hand sent, and the writing is noted down;
Ary noho izany dia Izy no nihavian’ ilay rantsan-tanana, ka voasoratra ireo teny ireo.
25 and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
Ary ny teny voasoratra dia izao: Mene, Mene, Tekela, Oparesina.
26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered—God has numbered your kingdom, and has finished it.
Izao no hevitry ny teny: Mene, voaisan’ Andriamanitra ny nanjakanao ka taperiny amin’ izao;
27 Weighed—You are weighed in the balances, and have been found lacking.
Tekela, efa voalanja tamin’ ny mizana ianao ka, indro, latsa-danja;
28 Divided—Your kingdom is divided, and it has been given to the Medes and Persians.”
Paresa, zarazaraina ny fanjakanao ka omena ho an’ ny Mediana sy ny Persiana.
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.
Ary Belsazara dia nanome teny, ka dia nampiakanjoina volomparasy Daniela, sady nasiana rojo volamena ny vozony, ary nisy niantso azy ho isan’ ny mpanapaka telo lahy amin’ ny fanjakana.
30 In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
Ary tamin’ io alina io ihany dia novonoina Belsazara, mpanjakan’ ny Kaldeana.
31 and Darius the Mede has received the kingdom when a son of sixty-two years.
Ary Dariosa Mediana no nandray ny fanjakana, rehefa tokony ho roa amby enim-polo taona no andro niainany.
