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;
O rei Belshazzar deu um grande banquete aos seus mil grandes, e bebeu vinho na presença dos mil.
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.
Havendo Belshazzar provado o vinho, mandou trazer os vasos de ouro e de prata, que Nabucodonozor, seu pai, tinha tirado do templo que estava em Jerusalém, para que bebessem por eles o rei, e os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas.
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;
Então trouxeram os vasos de ouro, que foram tirados do templo da casa de Deus, que estava em Jerusalém, e beberam por eles o rei, os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas.
4 they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Beberam o vinho, e deram louvores aos deuses de ouro, e de prata, de cobre, de ferro, de madeira, e de pedra.
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;
Na mesma hora saiam uns dedos de mão de homem, e escreviam, defronte do castiçal, na caiadura da parede do palácio real; e o rei via a parte da mão que estava escrevendo.
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.
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 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.”
E clamou o rei com força, que se introduzissem os astrólogos, os caldeus e os adivinhadores: e falou o rei, e disse aos sábios de Babilônia: Qualquer que ler esta escritura, e me declarar a sua interpretação, será vestido da púrpura, e trará uma cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e será, no reino, o terceiro dominador.
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;
Então entraram todos os sábios do rei; mas não puderam ler a escritura, nem fazer saber ao rei a sua interpretação.
9 then King Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
Então o rei Belshazzar perturbou-se muito, e mudou-se nele o seu semblante; e os seus grandes estavam sobresaltados.
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:
A rainha, pois, por causa das palavras do rei e dos seus grandes, entrou na casa do banquete: e falou 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 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—
Há um homem no teu reino, no qual há o espírito dos deuses santos; e nos dias de teu pai se achou nele luz, e inteligência, e sabedoria, como a sabedoria dos deuses; e teu pai, o rei Nabucodonozor, teu pai, ó rei, o constituiu chefe dos magos, dos astrólogos, dos caldeus, e dos adivinhadores;
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.”
Porquanto se achou neste Daniel um espírito excelente, e ciência e entendimento, interpretando sonhos, e declarando enigmas, e solvendo dúvidas, ao qual rei pôs o nome de Belteshazzar: chame-se pois agora Daniel, e ele declarará a interpretação.
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?
Então Daniel foi introduzido à presença do rei. falou o rei, e disse a Daniel: És tu aquele Daniel, dos cativos de Judá, que o rei, meu pai, trouxe de Judá?
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.
Porque tenho ouvido dizer a teu respeito que o espírito dos deuses está em ti, e que a luz, e o entendimento e a excelente sabedoria se acham em ti.
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:
E agora foram introduzidos à minha presença os sábios e os astrólogos, para lerem esta escritura, e me fazerem saber a sua interpretação; mas não puderam declarar a interpretação destas palavras.
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.”
Eu porém tenho ouvido dizer de ti que podes dar interpretações e solver dúvidas: agora, se poderes ler esta escritura, e fazer-me saber a sua interpretação, serás vestido de púrpura, e terás cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e no reino serás o terceiro dominador.
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;
Então respondeu Daniel, e disse na presença do rei: Os teus dons fiquem contigo, e dá os teus presentes a outro; contudo lerei ao rei a escritura, e lhe farei saber a interpretação.
18 you, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor, gave to your father Nebuchadnezzar:
Quanto a ti, ó rei! Deus, o altíssimo, deu a Nabucodonozor, teu pai, o reino, e a grandeza, e a glória, e a magnificência.
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;
E por causa da grandeza, que lhe deu, todos os povos, nações e línguas tremiam e temiam diante dele: a quem queria matava, e a quem queria dava a vida; e a quem queria engrandecia, e a quem queria abatia.
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,
Mas quando o seu coração se exalçou, e o seu espírito se endureceu em soberba, foi derribado do seu trono real, e passou dele a sua glória.
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.
E foi lançado dentre os filhos dos homens, e o seu coração foi feito semelhante ao das bestas, e a sua morada foi com os jumentos montezes; fizeram-no comer a erva como os bois, e do orvalho do céu foi molhado o seu corpo, até que conheceu que Deus, o altíssimo, domina sobre os reinos dos homens, e a quem quer constitui sobre eles.
22 And you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though all this you have known;
E tu, seu filho Belshazzar, não humilhaste o teu coração, ainda que soubeste tudo isto.
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.
E te levantaste contra o Senhor do céu, pois trouxeram os vasos da casa dele perante ti, e tu, os teus grandes, as tuas mulheres e as tuas concubinas, bebestes vinho por eles; de mais disto, deste louvores aos deuses de prata, de ouro, de cobre, de ferro, de madeira e de pedra, que nem veem, nem ouvem, nem sabem; mas a Deus, em cuja mão está a tua vida, e todos os teus caminhos, a ele não glorificaste.
24 Then from before Him is the extremity of the hand sent, and the writing is noted down;
Então dele foi enviada aquela parte da mão, e escreveu-se esta escritura.
25 and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
Esta pois é a escritura que se escreveu: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered—God has numbered your kingdom, and has finished it.
Esta é a interpretação daquilo: Mene: Contou Deus o teu reino, e o acabou.
27 Weighed—You are weighed in the balances, and have been found lacking.
Tekel: Pesado foste na balança, e foste achado em falta.
28 Divided—Your kingdom is divided, and it has been given to the Medes and Persians.”
Peres: Dividido foi o teu reino, e deu-se aos medos e aos persas.
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.
Então mandou Belshazzar que vestissem a Daniel de púrpura, e que lhe pusessem uma cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e proclamassem a respeito dele que havia de ser o terceiro dominador do reino.
30 In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
Mas na mesma noite foi morto Belshazzar, rei dos caldeus.
31 and Darius the Mede has received the kingdom when a son of sixty-two years.
E Dario, o medo, ocupou o reino, sendo da idade de sessenta e dois anos.
