< Daniel 5 >

1 [Several years later, ] Belshazzar [became the] king [of Babylon. One day] he invited 1,000 of his officers to a big feast, and he drank [a lot of] wine with them.
بێلشەسری پاشا خوانێکی گەورەی بۆ هەزار گەورە پیاوەکەی سازکرد و شەرابی لەگەڵیان خواردەوە.
2 While he was drinking, he commanded [his servants] bring to him the gold and silver cups that the previous king, Nebuchadnezzar, had taken from the temple in Jerusalem. [He did that] because he wanted himself and his officials, his wives, and [even] his (concubines/slave wives) to drink from them, [making fun of the god that we Israelis worshiped].
لەو کاتەی کە بێلشەسر شەرابەکەی دەنۆشی فەرمانی دا ئەو قاپوقاچاغە زێڕ و زیوە بهێنن کە نەبوخودنەسری باوکی لەو پەرستگایەی لە ئۆرشەلیمە دەریهێنابوون، بۆ ئەوەی پاشا و گەورە پیاو و ژن و کەنیزەکانی پێی بخۆنەوە.
3 So his servants brought in [all] those gold cups, that had been taken [many years previously] from the temple of [the true] God in Jerusalem. Then the king and his officials and his wives and his slave wives drank [wine] from those cups.
ئینجا ئەو قاپوقاچاغە زێڕەیان هێنا کە لە پەرستگای ماڵی خودا لە ئۆرشەلیمەوە دەرهێنرابوو، پاشا و گەورە پیاو و ژن و کەنیزەکانی پێیان خواردەوە.
4 They drank to praise/honor their idols that were made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and [even] wood and stone.
شەرابیان دەخواردەوە و ستایشی خوداوەندە زێڕ و زیو و بڕۆنز و ئاسن و دار و بەردینەکانیان دەکرد.
5 Suddenly they saw a man’s hand writing on the plaster of the wall opposite the lampstand. The king also saw the hand as it was writing.
لەناکاو پەنجەکانی دەستێکی مرۆڤانە دەرکەوت و لەسەر گەچی دیوارەکەی کۆشکی پاشا لەتەنیشت چرادانەکە دەستی بە نووسین کرد، پاشاش تەماشای دەستەکەی کرد کە دەینووسی.
6 He became very frightened, and his face became pale/white. His knees started shaking, and his legs became very weak, with the result that he could not stand up.
ئینجا ڕەنگی پاشا پەڕی و بیرکردنەوەکانی تۆقاندیان و قاچەکانی هێزیان لێ برا و ئەژنۆکانی کەوتنە لەرزین.
7 [Then] he shouted to summon the men who worked magic, the men who studied the stars, and the fortune-tellers. He said, “I will [greatly honor] any one of them who can read this writing and tell me what it means. I will give him a purple [robe like I wear because I am the king], and I will put a gold chain around his neck. He will become a very important official in my kingdom; there will be only two others who will be more important than he will be.”
پاشا بە دەنگی بەرز هاواری کرد کە ئەفسونگەر و ئەستێرەناس و فاڵگرەوەکان بهێننە ژوورەوە. پاشا بەم دانایانەی بابلی گوت: «هەر پیاوێک ئەو نووسینە بخوێنێتەوە و بۆم لێکبداتەوە، ئەوا جلی ڕەنگی ئەرخەوانی لەبەر دەکرێت، ملوانکەی زێڕیش لە ملی دەکرێت و لە پاشایەتییەکەدا دەبێتە سێیەم دەسەڵاتدار.»
8 But when all those wise men came in, none of them could read the writing, or tell him what it meant.
ئینجا هەموو داناکانی پاشا چوونە ژوورەوە، بەڵام نەیانتوانی نووسینەکە بخوێننەوە و بۆ پاشا لێکی بدەنەوە.
9 So King Belshazzar became more afraid. His face became [even] paler/whiter. And [all] his officials [who were there at the feast] did not know what to do.
لەبەر ئەوە بێلشەسر زۆر ترسا و ڕەنگی گۆڕا و گەورە پیاوەکانیش شڵەژان.
10 But when the mother of the king (OR, of the previous king) heard the king and his officials talking [loudly about what had happened], she entered the room where they were having the feast. She said [to Belshazzar], “(Your majesty/O King), I hope you will live for a long time! But do not be pale and afraid about this.
بەڵام شاژنی دایک لەبەر دەنگی پاشا و گەورە پیاوانی چووە هۆڵی خوانەکە، شاژن بە پاشای گوت: «ئەی پاشا، هەتاهەتایە هەر بژی! با بیرکردنەوەکانت نەتترسێنن و ڕەنگت نەگۆڕێت!
11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. When Nebuchadnezzar was ruling, they discovered that this man understood many things and was wise, just like the gods. The man who was king previously, Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him to be in charge of all the men [in Babylon] who worked magic, the men who worked sorcery, the men who studied the stars, and the fortune-tellers.
لە پاشایەتییەکەتدا پیاوێک هەیە ڕۆحی خودا پیرۆزەکانی تێدایە، لە سەردەمی باوکت ڕووناکبیری و زیرەکی و داناییەکی وەک دانایی خوداوەندەکانی تێدا بەدی کراوە. نەبوخودنەسری پاشای باوکت کردی بە گەورەی جادووگەر و ئەفسونگەر و ئەستێرەناس و فاڵگرەوەکان.
12 That man’s name is Daniel; the king gave him a [new] name, Belteshazzar. He is very intelligent and is able to know and understand many things. He is [even] able to tell the meaning of dreams, and explain riddles, and explain things that are very difficult to understand. Summon him, and he will tell you what [this writing] means.”
ئەو پیاوە دانیالە، کە پاشا ناوی لێناوە بێلتەشەسر، کە ڕۆحێکی تەواو و زانین و زیرەکی و لێکدانەوەی خەون و هەڵهێنانی مەتەڵ و چارەسەرکردنی گیروگرفتی تێدا بینراوە. با ئێستا دانیال بانگ بکرێت و لێکی بداتەوە.»
13 So they [went and] brought me in. The king asked me, “You [must] be Daniel [RHQ]! [They told me that you are] one of those who was brought [here] from Judah by the previous king.
ئینجا دانیال هێنرایە بەردەم پاشا، پاشاش پێی گوت: «ئایا تۆ ئەو دانیالەی کە لە نەوە ڕاپێچکراوەکانی یەهودایت، ئەوەی پاشای باوکم لە یەهوداوە هێنای؟
14 I have [also] heard that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you are very wise and understand many things.
بیستوومە کە ڕۆحی خوداوەندەکان و ڕووناکبیری و زیرەکی و دانایی تەواوت تێدایە.
15 My wise men and men who work magic have tried to read the writing on this wall and tell me what it means, but they are not able to do it.
ئێستاش دانا و ئەفسونگەرەکان بۆ بەردەمم هێنرانە ژوورەوە، بۆ ئەوەی ئەم نووسینە بخوێننەوە و پێم بڵێن مەبەستی چییە، بەڵام نەیانتوانی لێکی بدەنەوە.
16 [Someone] told me that you can tell what dreams mean and explain things that are very difficult to understand. If you can read these words and tell me what they mean, [I] give you a purple robe [like I wear because I am the king], and I will put a gold chain around your neck. You will become a very important official in my kingdom; there will be only two others who will be more important than you will be.”
من بیستوومە کە تۆ دەتوانیت شت لێکبدەیتەوە و نهێنییە شاراوەکان ئاشکرا بکەیت. ئەگەر ئێستا توانیت ئەو نووسینە بخوێنیتەوە و بۆم لێکبدەیتەوە، ئەوا جلی ڕەنگ ئەرخەوانیت لەبەر دەکرێت و ملوانکەی زێڕیش لە ملت دەکرێت و لە پاشایەتییەکەدا دەبیتە سێیەم دەسەڵاتدار.»
17 I replied, “[I do not want] your gifts; keep them, or give them to someone else. But I will read for you the writing [on the wall], and I will tell you what it means.
دانیالیش وەڵامی پاشای دایەوە: «با دیارییەکانت بۆ خۆت بن و پاداشتەکانت بە کەسێکی دیکە بدە، بەڵام من نووسینەکە بۆ پاشا دەخوێنمەوە و بۆی لێکدەدەمەوە.
18 (Your Majesty/O king), the Supreme God caused the man who was king before you, Nebuchadnezzar, to become a great ruler, who was greatly praised and honored.
«ئەی پاشا، خودای هەرەبەرز پاشایەتی و گەورەیی و شکۆمەندی و هێزی دایە نەبوخودنەسری باوکت.
19 Because God caused him to become [very] great, people of many [HYP] people-groups and nations and who spoke many different languages were very much afraid of him. He [commanded his soldiers to] kill those whom he wanted to be killed, and he (spared/allowed to live) those whom he wanted to spare. He honored those whom he wanted to honor, and he caused to be disgraced those whom he wanted to be disgraced.
بەهۆی ئەو گەورەییەی کە پێیدا، هەموو گەلان و نەتەوەکان و خەڵکی هەموو زمانەکان لەبەردەمی دەتۆقین و دەلەرزین. ئەوەی ویستی کوشتی و ئەوەی ویستی بە زیندوویی هێشتییەوە و ئەوەی ویستی بەرزی کردەوە و ئەوەی ویستی نزمی کردەوە.
20 But when he became very proud and stubborn [IDM], he was removed from being king [MTY]. People did not consider him to be glorious/great any more.
بەڵام کاتێک دڵی بە فیز بوو و کەللە ڕەق بوو، لە تەختی پاشایەتی هێنرایە خوارەوە و شکۆیەکەی لێسەنرایەوە.
21 [His officials] sent him away in order that he would not be near [other] people. [God] caused him to have a mind like animals have. He lived among the wild donkeys. He ate grass like cows do, and dew from the sky caused his body to be damp/wet [each morning]. [He was like that] until he learned that the Supreme God is [really the one who] rules the kingdoms of this world, and that he appoints whomever he chooses to rule those kingdoms.
لەنێو خەڵکدا دەرکرا و مێشکی وەک مێشکی ئاژەڵی لێهات، لەگەڵ کەرەکێوی دەژیا و وەک گا گژوگیای دەخوارد، لەشی بە شەونمی ئاسمان تەڕبوو، هەتا دانی بەوەدا نا کە خودای هەرەبەرز دەسەڵاتی لەسەر پاشایەتی مرۆڤدا هەیە، دەیدات بەوەی خواستی خۆیەتی.
22 Now, Belshazzar, you have become the king. You [also] knew all those things, but you have not made yourself humble.
«بەڵام تۆ ئەی بێلشەسری کوڕی، لەگەڵ ئەوەی هەموو ئەمەت زانی، خۆتت نزم نەکردووەتەوە.
23 You have considered yourself to be greater than [God], the Lord of heaven. [So you have commanded your servants to] bring to you these sacred cups, [which were dedicated to the Supreme God, and which were taken] from his temple [in Jerusalem]. You and your officials and your wives and your (concubines/slave wives) have been drinking wine from these cups, while you have been praising [your own] gods—gods which are made of gold and silver and bronze and iron and wood and stone. [Those are gods] that cannot see, that cannot hear, and that do not know anything! You have not honored the God who gives you breath and who controls everything that happens to you.
بەڵکو خۆتت لە پەروەردگاری ئاسمان بە بەرزتر زانی، قاپوقاچاغەکانی پەرستگاکەی ئەویان هێنایە بەردەمت و تۆش خۆت و گەورە پیاوان و ژنەکانت و کەنیزەکانت تێیاندا شەرابتان خواردەوە. ستایشی بتە زێڕ و زیو و بڕۆنز و ئاسن و دار و بەردەکانت کرد، کە نابینن و تێناگەن و نازانن. بەڵام خودا ئەوەی هەناسەی تۆ و هەموو ڕێگاکانت بە دەستی ئەوە، ئەوت شکۆدار نەکرد.
24 So God sent that hand to write a message [for you].
لەبەر ئەوە ئەو دەستە لەلای ئەوەوە نێردرا و ئەم نووسینەی نووسی.
25 This is the message that it wrote: ‘Mene, mene, tekel, parsin.’
«ئەمە ئەو نووسینەیە کە نووسراوە: مەنێ، مەنێ، تەقێل و پەرسین.
26 This is what those words mean: Mene [means] ‘numbered/counted’. [That means that] God has been counting the days that you will rule, and he has [now] decided that you will not rule any more.
«ئەمەش لێکدانەوەی وشەکانە:
27 Tekel [means ‘weighed’. It is as though God] has weighed you on a scale, and you do not weigh what you should, [which means that you have not been doing what you should; you are not fit to be a king] [MET].
تەقێل: بە تەرازووەکان کێشرایت و نەقوستان دەرچوویت.
28 Parsin [means ‘divided’. That means that God] has divided your kingdom. Some of it will be ruled by people from Media and some will be ruled by people from Persia.”
پەرس: پاشایەتییەکەت دابەش کرا و درایە ماد و فارس.»
29 Then Belshazzar [did what he had promised]. He put on me a purple robe [like the one he himself wore. He] put a gold chain around my neck. And he proclaimed that there would be only two others who would be more important than me in his kingdom.
ئینجا بێلشەسر فەرمانی دا جلی ڕەنگی ئەرخەوانی لەبەر دانیال بکەن و ملوانکەی زێڕیش لە ملی بکەن و جاڕبدەن کە لە پاشایەتییەکەدا بووە سێیەم دەسەڵاتدار.
30 But that same night [soldiers from Media entered the city and] killed Belshazzar, the King of Babylonia.
هەر لەو شەوەدا بێلشەسری پاشای بابلییەکان کوژرا،
31 Darius, the King of Media, became the King [of Babylonia] when he was 62 years old.
داریوشی ماد لە تەمەنی شەست و دوو ساڵیدا دەستی بەسەر پاشایەتییەکەدا گرت.
