Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar king the he made a feast great for nobles his a thousand and before thousand the wine [he was] drinking.
Le roi Balthasar donna un grand festin à ses grands, au nombre de mille; et, en présence de ces mille, il buvait du vin.
2 Belshazzar he said - in [the] taste of wine the to bring [the] vessels of gold and silver which he had brought out Nebuchadnezzar father his from temple the which [was] in Jerusalem so they may drink with them king the and nobles his wives his and concubines his.
Sous l’influence de la boisson, Balthasar ordonna d’apporter les vases d’or et d’argent, que son père Nabuchodonosor avait enlevés du temple de Jérusalem, afin que le roi, ses grands, ses épouses et ses concubines s’en servissent pour boire.
3 Then they brought [the] vessels of gold which they had brought out from temple the which [was] [the] house of God which [was] in Jerusalem and they drank with them king the and nobles his wives his and concubines his.
Aussitôt on apporta les vases d’or qui avaient été enlevés de l’enceinte du temple de Dieu à Jérusalem. Le roi, ses grands, ses épouses et ses concubines s’en servirent pour boire.
4 They drank wine the and they praised [the] gods of gold and silver bronze iron wood and stone.
Ils burent du vin et glorifièrent les Dieux d’or et d’argent, d’airain, de fer, de bois et de pierre.
5 At it moment the (they went forth *Q(K)*) fingers of a hand of a human and [they were] writing before candlestick the on plaster the of [the] wall of palace the of king the and king the [was] seeing [the] palm of hand the which [was] writing.
Au même moment, des doigts d’une main d’homme apparurent et écrivirent, face au candélabre, sur la chaux de la paroi du palais royal, et le roi vit cette main détachée qui écrivait.
6 Then king the brightness his they changed him and thoughts his they alarmed him and [the] joints of loin[s] his [were] loosened and knees his this [one] to this [one] [were] knocking.
Alors le roi changea de couleur, son esprit fut frappé de crainte; les attaches de ses reins se détendirent et ses genoux s’entrechoquèrent.
7 [was] calling King the with power to bring in conjurers the (Chaldeans the *Q(K)*) and astrologers the [was] replying king the and [was] saying - to [the] wise men of Babylon that any person who he will read aloud writing the this and interpretation its he will declare to me purple he will be clothed (and necklace the *Q(k)*) of gold [will be] on neck his and third in kingdom the he will rule.
Le roi cria avec force qu’on amenât les sorciers, les astrologues et les augures; puis il prit la parole et dit aux sages de Babylone: "Tout homme qui lira cette inscription et m’en fera connaître le sens sera vêtu de pourpre, portera un collier d’or au cou et gouvernera en tiers le royaume."
8 Then ([were] going in *Q(k)*) all [the] wise men of king the and not [they were] able writing the to read aloud (and interpretation its *Q(K)*) to make known to king the.
Tous les sages du roi étaient entrés; mais ils ne purent lire l’inscription ni en faire connaître le sens au roi.
9 Then king the Belshazzar exceedingly [was] alarmed and brightness his [were] changing on him and nobles his [were] dumbfounded.
Le roi Balthasar fut alors extrêmement effrayé, sa figure se décomposa, et ses grands furent bouleversés.
10 Queen the before [the] words of king the and nobles his to [the] house of feast the (she went in *Q(k)*) she replied queen the and she said king O for ever live! may not they alarm you thought[s] your and brightness your may not they be changed.
La reine, en raison des propos du roi et de ses grands, se rendit dans la salle du festin, elle prit la parole et dit: "Vive le roi à jamais! Que tes pensées cessent de t’épouvanter et que ton visage ne change pas de couleur!
11 There [is] a man in kingdom your who a spirit of gods holy [is] in him and in [the] days of father your illumination and insight and wisdom like [the] wisdom of gods it was found in him and king the Nebuchadnezzar father your chief of [the] magicians conjurers Chaldeans astrologers he appointed him father your king the.
Il est un homme dans ton royaume, qui est pénétré de l’esprit des Dieux saints, et chez qui, du temps de ton père, se sont rencontrées une perspicacité, une intelligence et une sagesse dignes des Dieux; aussi le roi Nabuchodonosor, ton père, l’a-t-il établi chef des magiciens, des devins, des astrologues et des augures, oui ton propre père, le roi!
12 As to because that a spirit - extraordinary and understanding and insight an interpreter of dreams and declaring of riddles and loosening of knots it was found in him in Daniel whom king the he made name his Belteshazzar now Daniel let him be summoned and interpretation the he will declare.
Parce qu’un esprit supérieur, la science, l’intelligence, l’art d’interpréter les songes, d’éclaircir les énigmes, de résoudre les difficultés se sont rencontrés chez ce Daniel, que le roi avait surnommé Beltchaçar. Que Daniel soit donc mandé, et il dévoilera ce que cela signifie."
13 Then Daniel he was brought before king the [was] replying king the and [was] saying to Daniel (you *Q(k)*) he [are] Daniel who [is] one of [the] sons of exile the of Judah whom he brought king the father my from Judah.
Aussitôt Daniel fut introduit devant le roi; celui-ci prit la parole et lui dit: "C’Est donc toi ce Daniel, qui fait partie du groupe des exilés de Juda que le roi mon père a emmenés de Judée!
14 And I have heard (concerning you *Q(k)*) that a spirit of gods [is] in you and illumination and insight and wisdom extraordinary it was found in you.
J’Ai ouï dire que tu es rempli de l’esprit des Dieux, et qu’il se rencontre chez toi de la perspicacité, de l’intelligence et une sagesse supérieure.
15 And now they have been brought before me wise men the conjurers the that writing the this they will read aloud and interpretation its to make known to me and not [they were] able [the] interpretation of matter the to declare.
Or, on a amené en ma présence les sages, les devins pour lire cette inscription et m’en faire connaître le sens; mais ils sont incapables de me révéler la signification de la chose.
16 And I I have heard (concerning you *Q(k)*) that (you are able *Q(k)*) interpretations to interpret and knots to loosen now if (you will be able *Q(k)*) writing the to read aloud and interpretation its to make known to me purple you will be clothed (and necklace the *Q(k)*) of gold [will be] on neck your and third the in kingdom the you will rule.
Mais de toi j’ai ouï dire que tu sais donner des interprétations et résoudre les difficultés. Donc, si tu peux lire cette inscription et m’en faire connaître le sens, tu seras revêtu de pourpre, un collier d’or ornera ton cou, et tu gouverneras en tiers le royaume."
17 Then [was] replying Daniel and [say] saying before king the gifts your for yourself let them be and rewards your to another give! nevertheless writing the I will read aloud to king the and interpretation the I will make known to him.
Alors Daniel répliqua en disant au roi: "Garde tes dons pour toi, et gratifie d’autres de tes présents; toutefois je lirai l’inscription au roi et je lui en ferai connaître le sens.
18 (You *Q(k)*) king O God (Most High the *Q(k)*) kingdom the and greatness the and honor the and majesty the he gave to Nebuchadnezzar father your.
O roi, le Dieu suprême avait donné à ton père Nabuchodonosor royauté, grandeur, majesté et magnificence.
19 And from greatness the which he gave to him all peoples the nations the and languages the they were (trembling *Q(k)*) and fearing from before him whom he was pleased he was killing and whom he was pleased he was letting live and whom he was pleased he was lifting up and whom he was pleased he was bringing low.
Et à cause de la grandeur qui lui avait été octroyée, nations, peuples et langues tremblaient tous de peur devant lui: il tuait qui il voulait, laissait vivre qui il voulait, élevait ou abaissait qui il voulait.
20 And as that it rose up heart his and spirit his it grew strong to act presumptuously he was deposed from [the] throne of kingdom his and honor the they removed from him.
Mais lorsque son cœur s’enorgueillit et que son esprit s’enhardit jusqu’à l’arrogance, il fut précipité de son trône royal et se vit dépouillé de sa majesté.
21 And away from [the] sons of humankind he was chased and heart his - with animal[s] the (they made *Q(K)*) and [was] with wild donkeys the dwelling place his grass like oxen they fed him and from [the] dew of heavens the body his it became wet until that he knew that [was] having mastery God (Most High the *Q(k)*) over [the] kingdom of humankind and to whomever whom he will be pleased he will appoint (over it. *Q(K)*)
Il fut chassé de la société des hommes, et son cœur devint semblable à celui des bêtes; sa demeure fut avec les ânes sauvages, on lui donna comme aux bœufs de l’herbe pour nourriture, et son corps fut humecté par la rosée du ciel, jusqu’à ce qu’il reconnût que le Dieu suprême est maître de la royauté des hommes et qu’il y appelle qui lui plaît.
22 (And you *Q(k)*) son his O Belshazzar not you have brought low heart your as to because that all this you knew.
Et toi, son fils Balthasar, tu n’as pas humilié ton cœur, bien que tu fusses instruit de tout cela.
23 And against [the] lord of heavens the - you have lifted yourself up and vessels the of house his they have brought (before you and you and nobles your *Q(k)*) wives your and concubines your wine [are] drinking with them and [the] gods of silver and gold bronze iron wood and stone who not [are] seeing and not [are] hearing and not [are] knowing you have praised and God the who breath your [is] in hand his and all ways your [are] to him not you have glorified.
Tu t’es insurgé contre le maître du ciel, en faisant apporter devant toi les vases de son temple pour y boire du vin, toi, tes grands, tes épouses et tes concubines; tu as célébré les Dieux d’argent et d’or, d’airain, de fer, de bois et de pierre, qui ne voient, ni n’entendent, ni ne savent rien. Quant au Dieu qui tient ton âme en ses mains et qui dirige toutes tes voies, tu ne l’as pas honoré.
24 Then from before him it was sent out palm the of hand the and writing the this it was inscribed.
C’Est pourquoi une main détachée a été envoyée par lui, et cette inscription a été tracée.
25 And this [is] writing the which it was inscribed mene mene teqel and pharsin.
Or, voici l’inscription qui a été tracée: MENÊ, MENÊ, TEKÊL, OUFARSIN.
26 This [is] [the] interpretation of matter the mene he has numbered God kingdom your and he has finished it.
Et telle est l’explication de ces mots: MENÊ Dieu a compté les jours de ta royauté et en a décidé la fin;
27 Teqel you have been weighed in scales the and you have been found lacking.
TEKÊL tu as été pesé dans la balance et trouvé trop léger;
28 Peres it has been broken in two kingdom your and it has been given to Medes and Persians.
PERES ton royaume a été divisé et donné aux Mèdes et aux Perses."
29 Then - he said Belshazzar and they clothed Daniel purple (and necklace the *Q(k)*) of gold [was] on neck his and they made proclamation concerning him that he will be having mastery third the in kingdom the.
Aussitôt Balthasar donna l’ordre de revêtir Daniel de pourpre, de lui mettre un collier d’or au cou et de proclamer qu’il gouvernerait en tiers le royaume.
30 On it on night the he was killed Belshazzar king the (Chaldeans the. *Q(k)*)
Cette même nuit Balthasar, le roi Chaldéen, fut mis à mort.
31 And Darius (Median the *Q(K)*) he received kingdom the about a son of years sixty and two.
Et Darius le Mède reçut la royauté à l’âge de soixante-deux ans.
