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.
Ya mere, a chịtara iko ọlaedo ndị e si nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke dị na Jerusalem chịkọta. Eze na ndị a mara aha ha nʼalaeze ya na ndị nwunye ya na ndị iko ya jiri ha ṅụọ mmanya.
4 They drank wine the and they praised [the] gods of gold and silver bronze iron wood and stone.
Ha ṅụrụ mmanya tookwa chi nke ọlaedo na ọlaọcha na bronz, na igwe na osisi na nkume.

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.
Mgbe ahụ, ihu eze ahụ tụhịkọtara, gbarụọ nʼihi egwu. Oke ụjọ tụrụ ya. Ụkwụ ya makwara jijiji. Ikpere ya abụọ kụkọtara onwe ha.

Eze kpọrọ mkpu ka a kpọbata ndị dibịa niile na ndị Kaldịa, na ndị na-akọwa maka njegharị nke kpakpando. Mgbe ahụ eze sịrị ndị ikom amamihe nke Babilọn, “Onye ọbụla nwere ike gụọ ihe ahụ e dere, nke nwekwara ike ịkọwara m ihe ọ pụtara, ka a ga-eyikwasị uwe odo odo nke ndị eze. A ga-anyakwasị ya ihe olu ọlaedo. A ga-emekwa ya ka ọ bụrụ onye ọchịchị nke atọ nʼalaeze a.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị amamihe eze batara, ma o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ha pụrụ ịgụta, maọbụ ịkọwara eze ihe ọ pụtara.
9 Then king the Belshazzar exceedingly [was] alarmed and brightness his [were] changing on him and nobles his [were] dumbfounded.
Nke a mere, ka eze Belshaza maa jijiji karịa, ihu ya gburu maramara ma gbarụkwaa. Ọ gbakwara ndị ozi ya gharịị.

Mgbe eze nwanyị, nụrụ olu eze na olu ndị a mara aha ha nʼala ya, ọ batara nʼụlọ oriri ahụ. Eze nwanyị sịrị, “Eze, dị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; ka ihe a mere ghara iwetara gị ihu mgbarụ, atụla ụjọ.
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.
Nʼihi na o nwere otu nwoke nọ nʼalaeze gị, onye mmụọ nke chi ndị ahụ dị nsọ bi nʼime ya. Nʼoge ahụ nna gị bụ eze, a chọpụtara na nwoke a jupụtara nʼamamihe na nghọta, dịka a ga-asị na ya onwe ya bụ chi. Nna gị eze Nebukadneza mere ya onyeisi ndị amamihe niile, ndị dibịa, ndị na-enyocha kpakpando, ndị Kaldịa na ndị mgba afa niile.
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.
Ebe ọ bụ na ezigbo mmụọ, mmụta na nghọta nke e ji akọwa nrọ na ihe mgbagwoju anya, na igbo mkpa dị iche iche, dị nʼime nwoke a a na-akpọ Daniel, nke eze kpọrọ Belteshaza. Ugbu a, zie ozi ka a kpọọ Daniel ka ọ kọwara gị ihe a.”
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.
Ya mere, a kpọbatara Daniel nʼihu eze, eze sịrị Daniel, “Ọ bụ gị bụ Daniel, otu nʼime ndị Juda, ndị nna m dọtara nʼagha site na Juda?
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.
Anụla m na i nwere mmụọ nke chi niile nʼime gị, na ị bụkwa onye jupụtara na nghọta na amamihe.
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.
Ndị amamihe m, na ndị na-enyocha kpakpando abịala nʼihu m ịgụ ihe ahụ e dere nʼaja ụlọ ma ha enweghị ike ịgụta ya maọbụ ịkọwa ihe ọ bụ.
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.
Agwara m na i nwere ike ịkọwa ihe ọbụla gbagwojuru anya. Ọ bụrụ na i nwee ike ịgụ ihe e dere nʼaja ma kọwakwara m ihe ọ pụtara, aga m eyikwasị gị uwe odo odo ndị eze, yinyekwa gị ihe olu ọlaedo nʼolu, meekwa ka i bụrụ onye ọchịchị nke atọ nʼalaeze m.”
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.
Daniel zara nʼihu eze, “Debere onwe gị onyinye gị, ma ọ bụkwanụ were ya nye onye ọzọ. Ma aga m agụrụ gị eze ihe ahụ e dere ma kọwakwara gị ihe ọ pụtara.
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.
“Gị eze, Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu nyere nna gị, Nebukadneza ike ọchịchị a, na ịdị ukwu, na ebube, na ịma mma.
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.
Nʼihi ọkwa dị ukwuu nke o nyere ya, ndị niile, na mba niile di iche iche, na-asụ asụsụ niile dị iche iche nʼelu ụwa na-ama jijiji na-atụkwa ya egwu. Ndị eze chọrọ igbu ka o gburu, ọ hapụkwara onye ọbụla ọ chọrọ ịhapụ; o buliri onye ọbụla ọ chọrọ ibuli elu, ma ndị ọ chọrọ iweda nʼala, ka ya onwe ya wedakwara nʼala.
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.
Ma mgbe nganga na ịnya isi jupụtara ya obi, Chineke sitere nʼocheeze ya wezuga ya, napụkwa ya ebube o nwere dịka eze.
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)*)
A chụpụrụ ya site nʼetiti ụmụ mmadụ, nyekwa ya echiche uche dịka nke anụmanụ. Ọ bụkwa nʼetiti ụmụ ịnyịnya ibu ọhịa ka ebe obibi ya dị, o soro ha taa ahịhịa dịka oke ehi. Igirigi nke eluigwe deekwara ahụ ya, tutu ruo mgbe ọ matara na Chineke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu na-achị achị nʼalaeze niile nke ụwa. Ọ bụkwa onye ọbụla ọ chọrọ ka ọ na-eguzobe ka ọ chịa.
22 (And you *Q(k)*) son his O Belshazzar not you have brought low heart your as to because that all this you knew.
“Ma gị nwa ya, O Belshaza, ewedaghị onwe gị ala, nʼagbanyeghị na i ma ihe ndị a niile.
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.
Nʼihi na i lelịala Chineke nke eluigwe. Ị wepụtara iko ndị a e si nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ya chịpụta, ka gị na ndịisi alaeze gị, ndị nwunye ha na ndị iko unu, jiri ṅụọ mmanya, mgbe unu nọ na-eto chi niile nke e jiri ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, bronz na igwe, osisi na nkume kpụọ; chi nke na-adịghị ahụ ụzọ, maọbụ nụ ihe; chi nke na-amaghị ihe ọbụla. Ma unu enyeghị Chineke onye na-enye unu ume ndụ na onye ndụ gị na ọganihu gị dị nʼaka ya nsọpụrụ.
24 Then from before him it was sent out palm the of hand the and writing the this it was inscribed.
Ọ bụ nke a mere o ji zite aka ahụ ị hụrụ, nke depụtara ozi a.
25 And this [is] writing the which it was inscribed mene mene teqel and pharsin.
“Nke a bụ ozi ahụ e dere: mene, mene, tekel, parsin
26 This [is] [the] interpretation of matter the mene he has numbered God kingdom your and he has finished it.
“Ihe okwu ndị a pụtara bụ nke a: “Mene, Chineke agụkọọla ụbọchị ọchịchị gị, mee ka ha bịa na njedebe.
27 Teqel you have been weighed in scales the and you have been found lacking.
“Tekel, atụọla gị nʼime ihe ọtụtụ chọpụta na o nweghị ihe ọbụla ị bụ.
28 Peres it has been broken in two kingdom your and it has been given to Medes and Persians.
“Parsin, ekewala alaeze gị nyefee ya nʼaka ndị Midia na Peshịa.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ Belshaza nyere iwu ka e yikwasị Daniel uwe odo odo ndị eze ahụ, ka e yinye ya ihe olu ọlaedo. O nyekwara iwu ka e kwusaa nʼalaeze ya niile, na o meela ya onye ọchịchị nke atọ nʼalaeze ahụ.
30 On it on night the he was killed Belshazzar king the (Chaldeans the. *Q(k)*)
Nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ kwa ka e gburu Belshaza eze ndị Kaldịa.
31 And Darius (Median the *Q(K)*) he received kingdom the about a son of years sixty and two.
Nʼabalị ahụ kwa ka Daraiọs onye Midia, bidoro ịchị dịka eze. Ọ gbara iri afọ isii na abụọ nʼoge o bidoro ịchị.
