Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king, made a great feast, to a thousand of his nobles, —and, before the thousand, was drinking, wine.
| بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ ٱلْمَلِكُ صَنَعَ وَلِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً لِعُظَمَائِهِ ٱلْأَلْفِ، وَشَرِبَ خَمْرًا قُدَّامَ ٱلْأَلْفِ. | ١ |
2 Belshazzar, gave word, at the flavour of the wine, to bring the vessels of gold and silver, which Nebuchadnezzar his father, had brought forth, out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, —that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, might drink therein.
| وَإِذْ كَانَ بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ يَذُوقُ ٱلْخَمْرَ، أَمَرَ بِإِحْضَارِ آنِيَةِ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْرَجَهَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ أَبُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِيَشْرَبَ بِهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَعُظَمَاؤُهُ وَزَوْجَاتُهُ وَسَرَارِيهِ. | ٢ |
3 Then brought they the vessels of gold which had been taken out of the temple of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and the king and his nobles, his wives and, his concubines, drank therein:
| حِينَئِذٍ أَحْضَرُوا آنِيَةَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي أُخْرِجَتْ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَشَرِبَ بِهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَعُظَمَاؤُهُ وَزَوْجَاتُهُ وَسَرَارِيهِ. | ٣ |
4 they drank wine, —and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone.
| كَانُوا يَشْرَبُونَ ٱلْخَمْرَ وَيُسَبِّحُونَ آلِهَةَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ وَٱلْخَشَبِ وَٱلْحَجَرِ. | ٤ |
5 Immediately, came forth the fingers of the hand of a man, and wrote, over against the chandelier, upon the plaster of the wall of the palace of the king, —and, the king, saw the part of the hand which was writing,
| فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ظَهَرَتْ أَصَابِعُ يَدِ إِنْسَانٍ، وَكَتَبَتْ بِإِزَاءِ ٱلنِّبْرَاسِ عَلَى مُكَلَّسِ حَائِطِ قَصْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَٱلْمَلِكُ يَنْظُرُ طَرَفَ ٱلْيَدِ ٱلْكَاتِبَةِ. | ٥ |
6 Then, as for the king, his bright looks, changed in him, and, his thoughts, terrified him, —and, the joints of his loins, were loosed, and, his knees, smote, one against another.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَغَيَّرَتْ هَيْئَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَفْزَعَتْهُ أَفْكَارُهُ، وَٱنْحَلَّتْ خَرَزُ حَقْوَيْهِ، وَٱصْطَكَّتْ رُكْبَتَاهُ. | ٦ |
7 The king began crying out again, to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans and the astrologers, —the king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever it is that shall read this writing, and, the interpretation thereof, shall declare unto me, with purple, shall he be clothed, and have a chain of gold upon his neck, and, as the third in the kingdom, shall he have dominion.
| فَصَرَخَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِشِدَّةٍ لِإِدْخَالِ ٱلسَّحَرَةِ وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْمُنَجِّمِينَ، فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ لِحُكَمَاءِ بَابِلَ: «أَيُّ رَجُلٍ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ ٱلْكِتَابَةَ وَيُبَيِّنُ لِي تَفْسِيرَهَا فَإِنَّهُ يُلَبَّسُ ٱلْأُرْجُوَانَ وَقِلَادَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ، وَيَتَسَلَّطُ ثَالِثًا فِي ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ». | ٧ |
8 Then were coming in all the wise men of the king, —but, the writing, could they not read, nor, the interpretation, make known to the king.
| ثُمَّ دَخَلَ كُلُّ حُكَمَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يَقْرَأُوا ٱلْكِتَابَةَ، وَلَا أَنْ يُعَرِّفُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ بِتَفْسِيرِهَا. | ٨ |
9 Then, King Belshazzar, was greatly terrified, and, his bright looks, were changed upon him, —and, his nobles, were perplexed.
| فَفَزَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ جِدًّا وَتَغَيَّرَتْ فِيهِ هَيْئَتُهُ، وَٱضْطَرَبَ عُظَمَاؤُهُ. | ٩ |
10 The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, into the house of banqueting, entered, —the queen spake and said, O king! for ages, live! Let not thy thoughts, terrify thee, and, as for thy bright looks, let them not be changed.
| أَمَّا ٱلْمَلِكَةُ فَلِسَبَبِ كَلَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَعُظَمَائِهِ دَخَلَتْ بَيْتَ ٱلْوَلِيمَةِ، فَأَجَابَتِ ٱلْمَلِكَةُ وَقَالَتْ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، عِشْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ! لَا تُفَزِّعْكَ أَفْكَارُكَ وَلَا تَتَغَيَّرُ هَيْئَتُكَ. | ١٠ |
11 There is a man in thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and, in the days of thy father, light, and intelligence, and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him, —and, King Nebuchadnezzar thy father, appointed him, chief of the sacred scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers, —thy father, O king!
| يُوجَدُ فِي مَمْلَكَتِكَ رَجُلٌ فِيهِ رُوحُ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِينَ، وَفِي أَيَّامِ أَبِيكَ وُجِدَتْ فِيهِ نَيِّرَةٌ وَفِطْنَةٌ وَحِكْمَةٌ كَحِكْمَةِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ، وَٱلْمَلِكُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ أَبُوكَ جَعَلَهُ كَبِيرَ ٱلْمَجُوسِ وَٱلسَّحَرَةِ وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْمُنَجِّمِينَ. أَبُوكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ. | ١١ |
12 Forasmuch as, a distinguished spirit, and knowledge and intelligence, ability to interpret dreams and solve riddles and unravel knotty points, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let, Daniel, be called, and, the interpretation, will he declare.
| مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّ رُوحًا فَاضِلَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً وَفِطْنَةً وَتَعْبِيرَ ٱلْأَحْلَامِ وَتَبْيِينَ أَلْغَازٍ وَحَلَّ عُقَدٍ وُجِدَتْ فِي دَانِيآلَ هَذَا، ٱلَّذِي سَمَّاهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَلْطَشَاصَّرَ. فَلْيُدْعَ ٱلْآنَ دَانِيآلُ فَيُبَيِّنَ ٱلتَّفْسِيرَ». | ١٢ |
13 Then, Daniel, was brought in before the king, —the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art, thou, that Daniel, that is of the sons of the exile of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
| حِينَئِذٍ أُدْخِلَ دَانِيآلُ إِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ لِدَانِيآلَ: «أَأَنْتَ هُوَ دَانِيآلُ مِنْ بَنِي سَبْيِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلَّذِي جَلَبَهُ أَبِي ٱلْمَلِكُ مِنْ يَهُوذَا؟ | ١٣ |
14 Then, I have heard concerning thee, that, the spirit of the gods, is in thee, —and, light and intelligence and distinguished wisdom, are found in thee.
| قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ أَنَّ فِيكَ رُوحَ ٱلْآلِهَةِ، وَأَنَّ فِيكَ نَيِّرَةٌ وَفِطْنَةٌ وَحِكْمَةٌ فَاضِلَةٌ. | ١٤ |
15 Now, therefore, have been brought in before me, the wise men, the magicians, that, this writing, they might read, and, the interpretation thereof, might make known unto me, —but they were not able, the interpretation of the thing, to declare.
| وَٱلْآنَ أُدْخِلَ قُدَّامِي ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ وَٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِيَقْرَأُوا هَذِهِ ٱلْكِتَابَةَ وَيُعَرِّفُونِي بِتَفْسِيرِهَا، فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يُبَيِّنُوا تَفْسِيرَ ٱلْكَلَامِ. | ١٥ |
16 I, however, have heard concerning thee, that thou art able, interpretations, to unfold, and, knotty points, to unravel, —Now, if thou be able, the writing, to read, and, the interpretation thereof, to make known unto me, with purple, shalt thou be clothed, and, a chain of gold, shalt thou have upon thy neck, and, as the third in the kingdom, shalt thou have dominion.
| وَأَنَا قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُفَسِّرَ تَفْسِيرًا وَتَحُلَّ عُقَدًا. فَإِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ ٱلْآنَ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ ٱلْكِتَابَةَ وَتُعَرِّفَنِي بِتَفْسِيرِهَا فَتُلَبَّسُ ٱلْأُرْجُوَانَ وَقِلَادَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِكَ وَتَتَسَلَّطُ ثَالِثًا فِي ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ». | ١٦ |
17 Then spake Daniel, and said before the king, As for thy gifts, thine own let them remain, and, thy presents, on another, bestow, —howbeit, the writing, will I read to the king, and, the interpretation thereof, will I make known to him.
| فَأَجَابَ دَانِيآلُ وَقَالَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ: «لِتَكُنْ عَطَايَاكَ لِنَفْسِكَ وَهَبْ هِبَاتِكَ لِغَيْرِي. لَكِنِّي أَقْرَأُ ٱلْكِتَابَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ وَأُعَرِّفُهُ بِٱلتَّفْسِيرِ. | ١٧ |
18 As for thee, O king, the Most High God, gave, kingship and greatness and honour and majesty, unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father;
| أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، فَٱللهُ ٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى أَبَاكَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلَكُوتًا وَعَظَمَةً وَجَلَالًا وَبَهَاءً. | ١٨ |
19 and, for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, races and tongues, used to tremble and to withdraw falteringly from 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.
| وَلِلْعَظَمَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا كَانَتْ تَرْتَعِدُ وَتَفْزَعُ قُدَّامَهُ جَمِيعُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَٱلْأُمَمِ وَٱلْأَلْسِنَةِ. فَأَيًّا شَاءَ قَتَلَ، وَأَيًّا شَاءَ ٱسْتَحْيَا، وَأَيًّا شَاءَ رَفَعَ، وَأَيًّا شَاءَ وَضَعَ. | ١٩ |
20 But, when uplifted was his heart and, his spirit, became obstinate so as to act arrogantly, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and, his dignity, took they from him;
| فَلَمَّا ٱرْتَفَعَ قَلْبُهُ وَقَسَتْ رُوحُهُ تَجَبُّرًا، ٱنْحَطَّ عَنْ كُرْسِيِّ مُلْكِهِ، وَنَزَعُوا عَنْهُ جَلَالَهُ، | ٢٠ |
21 And, from among the sons of men, was he driven, and, his heart, to a wild beast’s, became equal, and, with the wild asses, was his dwelling, and, grass—like oxen, they suffered him to eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, his body, was drenched—until that he came to know that the Most High God, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, whomsoever he pleaseth, he setteth up over it.
| وَطُرِدَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَتَسَاوَى قَلْبُهُ بِٱلْحَيَوَانِ، وَكَانَتْ سُكْنَاهُ مَعَ ٱلْحَمِيرِ ٱلْوَحْشِيَّةِ، فَأَطْعَمُوهُ ٱلْعُشْبَ كَٱلثِّيرَانِ، وَٱبْتَلَّ جِسْمُهُ بِنَدَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، حَتَّى عَلِمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ ٱلْعَلِيَّ سُلْطَانٌ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَأَنَّهُ يُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ. | ٢١ |
22 And yet, thou, his son, O Belshazzar! hast not humbled thy heart, though, all this, thou knewest;
| وَأَنْتَ يَا بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ ٱبْنَهُ لَمْ تَضَعْ قَلْبَكَ، مَعَ أَنَّكَ عَرَفْتَ كُلَّ هَذَا، | ٢٢ |
23 but, against the Lord of the heavens, hast uplifted thyself, and, the vessels of his house, have they brought before thee, and, thou, and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have been drinking, wine, therein, and, gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which see not nor hear nor know, hast thou praised, —whereas, God, in whose hand thy breath is and whose are all thy ways, him, hast thou not glorified.
| بَلْ تَعَظَّمْتَ عَلَى رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَأَحْضَرُوا قُدَّامَكَ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِهِ، وَأَنْتَ وَعُظَمَاؤُكَ وَزَوْجَاتُكَ وَسَرَارِيكَ شَرِبْتُمْ بِهَا ٱلْخَمْرَ، وَسَبَّحْتَ آلِهَةَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلنِّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ وَٱلْخَشَبِ وَٱلْحَجَرِ ٱلَّتِي لَا تُبْصِرُ وَلَا تَسْمَعُ وَلَا تَعْرِفُ. أَمَّا ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِهِ نَسَمَتُكَ، وَلَهُ كُلُّ طُرُقِكَ فَلَمْ تُمَجِّدْهُ. | ٢٣ |
24 Then was there put forth from before him the part of the hand, —and, this writing, was inscribed:
| حِينَئِذٍ أُرْسِلَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ طَرَفُ ٱلْيَدِ، فَكُتِبَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكِتَابَةُ. | ٢٤ |
25 And this is the writing which was inscribed, M’ne, M’ne, T’kel, u-Pharsin.
| وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْكِتَابَةُ ٱلَّتِي سُطِّرَتْ: مَنَا مَنَا تَقَيْلُ وَفَرْسِينُ. | ٢٥ |
26 This, is the interpretation of the thing, —M’ne ["Reckoned-up"], God hath reckoned up thy reign, and ended it:
| وَهَذَا تَفْسِيرُ ٱلْكَلَامِ: مَنَا، أَحْصَى ٱللهُ مَلَكُوتَكَ وَأَنْهَاهُ. | ٢٦ |
27 T’kel, —thou art weighed ["Weighed"] in the balances, and found wanting;
| تَقَيْلُ، وُزِنْتَ بِٱلْمَوَازِينِ فَوُجِدْتَ نَاقِصًا. | ٢٧ |
28 P’res ["Snatched-away"], —snatched away is thy kingdom, and given to the Medes and Persians.
| فَرْسِ، قُسِمَتْ مَمْلَكَتُكَ وَأُعْطِيَتْ لِمَادِي وَفَارِسَ». | ٢٨ |
29 Then Belshazzar, gave word, that they should clothe Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold upon his neck, —and should make a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler over the kingdom.
| حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ أَنْ يُلْبِسُوا دَانِيآلَ ٱلْأَرْجُوانَ وَقِلَادَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ، وَيُنَادُوا عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ مُتَسَلِّطًا ثَالِثًا فِي ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ. | ٢٩ |
30 In that night, was slain—Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans.
| فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ قُتِلَ بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، | ٣٠ |
31 And, Darius the Mede, received the kingdom, —when about sixty-two years of age.
| فَأَخَذَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ دَارِيُّوسُ ٱلْمَادِيُّ وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ سَنَةً. | ٣١ |
