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.
| بلشصر پادشاه ضیافت عظیمی برای هزارنفر از امرای خود برپا داشت و در حضورآن هزار نفر شراب نوشید. | ۱ |
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].
| بلشصر در کیف شراب امر فرمود که ظروف طلا و نقره را که جدش نبوکدنصر از هیکل اورشلیم برده بودبیاورند تا پادشاه و امرایش و زوجه‌ها ومتعه هایش از آنها بنوشند. | ۲ |
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.
| آنگاه ظروف طلا راکه از هیکل خانه خدا که در اورشلیم است گرفته شده بود آوردند و پادشاه و امرایش و زوجه‌ها ومتعه هایش از آنها نوشیدند. | ۳ |
4 They drank to praise/honor their idols that were made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and [even] wood and stone.
| شراب می‌نوشیدندو خدایان طلا و نقره و برنج و آهن و چوب وسنگ را تسبیح می‌خواندند. | ۴ |
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.
| در همان ساعت انگشتهای دست انسانی بیرون آمد و در برابر شمعدان بر گچ دیوار قصرپادشاه نوشت و پادشاه کف دست را که می‌نوشت دید. | ۵ |
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.
| آنگاه هیئت پادشاه متغیر شد و فکرهایش او را مضطرب ساخت و بندهای کمرش سست شده، زانوهایش بهم می‌خورد. | ۶ |
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.”
| پادشاه به آوازبلند صدا زد که جادوگران و کلدانیان و منجمان رااحضار نمایند. پس پادشاه حکیمان بابل راخطاب کرده، گفت: «هر‌که این نوشته را بخواند وتفسیرش را برای من بیان نماید به ارغوان ملبس خواهد شد و طوق زرین بر گردنش (نهاده خواهدشد) و حاکم سوم در مملکت خواهد بود.» | ۷ |
8 But when all those wise men came in, none of them could read the writing, or tell him what it meant.
| آنگاه جمیع حکمای پادشاه داخل شدند امانتوانستند نوشته را بخوانند یا تفسیرش را برای پادشاه بیان نمایند. | ۸ |
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.
| پس بلشصر پادشاه، بسیارمضطرب شد و هیئتش در او متغیر گردید و امرایش مضطرب شدند. | ۹ |
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.
| اما ملکه به‌سبب سخنان پادشاه و امرایش به مهمانخانه درآمد وملکه متکلم شده، گفت: «ای پادشاه تا به ابد زنده باش! فکرهایت تو را مضطرب نسازد و هیئت تومتغیر نشود. | ۱۰ |
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.
| شخصی در مملکت تو هست که روح خدایان قدوس دارد و در ایام پدرت روشنایی و فطانت و حکمت مثل حکمت خدایان دراو پیدا شد و پدرت نبوکدنصر پادشاه یعنی پدر تو‌ای پادشاه او را رئیس مجوسیان وجادوگران و کلدانیان و منجمان ساخت. | ۱۱ |
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.”
| چونکه روح فاضل و معرفت و فطانت و تعبیرخوابها و حل معماها و گشودن عقده‌ها در این دانیال که پادشاه او را به بلطشصر مسمی نمودیافت شد. پس حال دانیال طلبیده شود و تفسیر رابیان خواهد نمود.» | ۱۲ |
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.
| آنگاه دانیال را به حضور پادشاه آوردند وپادشاه دانیال را خطاب کرده، فرمود: «آیا توهمان دانیال از اسیران یهود هستی که پدرم پادشاه از یهودا آورد؟ | ۱۳ |
14 I have [also] heard that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you are very wise and understand many things.
| و درباره تو شنیده‌ام که روح خدایان در تو است و روشنایی و فطانت وحکمت فاضل در تو پیدا شده است. | ۱۴ |
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.
| و الان حکیمان و منجمان را به حضور من آوردند تا این نوشته را بخوانند و تفسیرش را برای من بیان کننداما نتوانستند تفسیر کلام را بیان کنند. | ۱۵ |
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.”
| و من درباره تو شنیده‌ام که به نمودن تعبیرها و گشودن عقده‌ها قادر می‌باشی. پس اگر بتوانی الان نوشته را بخوانی و تفسیرش را برای من بیان کنی به ارغوان ملبس خواهی شد و طوق زرین بر گردنت (نهاده خواهد شد) و در مملکت حاکم سوم خواهی بود.» | ۱۶ |
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.
| پس دانیال به حضور پادشاه جواب داد وگفت: «عطایای تو از آن تو باشد و انعام خود را به دیگری بده، لکن نوشته را برای پادشاه خواهم خواند و تفسیرش را برای او بیان خواهم نمود. | ۱۷ |
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.
| اما تو‌ای پادشاه، خدای تعالی به پدرت نبوکدنصر سلطنت و عظمت و جلال و حشمت عطا فرمود. | ۱۸ |
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.
| و به‌سبب عظمتی که به او داده بودجمیع قومها و امت‌ها و زبانها از او لرزان و ترسان می‌بودند. هر‌که را می‌خواست می‌کشت و هر‌که را می‌خواست زنده نگاه می‌داشت و هر‌که رامی خواست بلند می‌نمود و هر‌که را می‌خواست پست می‌ساخت. | ۱۹ |
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.
| لیکن چون دلش مغرور وروحش سخت گردیده، تکبر نمود آنگاه ازکرسی سلطنت خویش به زیر افکنده شد وحشمت او را از او گرفتند. | ۲۰ |
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.
| و از میان بنی آدم رانده شده، دلش مثل دل حیوانات گردید ومسکنش با گورخران شده، او را مثل گاوان علف می‌خورانیدند و جسدش از شبنم آسمان ترمی شد تا فهمید که خدای تعالی بر ممالک آدمیان حکمرانی می‌کند و هر‌که را می‌خواهد بر آن نصب می‌نماید. | ۲۱ |
22 Now, Belshazzar, you have become the king. You [also] knew all those things, but you have not made yourself humble.
| و تو‌ای پسرش بلشصر! اگرچه این همه را دانستی لکن دل خود را متواضع ننمودی. | ۲۲ |
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.
| بلکه خویشتن را به ضد خداوندآسمانها بلند ساختی و ظروف خانه او را به حضور تو آوردند و تو و امرایت و زوجه‌ها ومتعه هایت از آنها شراب نوشیدید و خدایان نقره و طلا و برنج و آهن و چوب و سنگ را که نمی بینند و نمی شنوند و (هیچ ) نمی دانند تسبیح خواندی، اما آن خدایی را که روانت در دست او وتمامی راههایت از او می‌باشد، تمجید ننمودی. | ۲۳ |
24 So God sent that hand to write a message [for you].
| پس این کف دست از جانب او فرستاده شد واین نوشته مکتوب گردید. | ۲۴ |
25 This is the message that it wrote: ‘Mene, mene, tekel, parsin.’
| و این نوشته‌ای که مکتوب شده است این است: منامنا ثقیل و فرسین. | ۲۵ |
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.
| و تفسیر کلام این است: منا؛ خدا سلطنت تو را شمرده و آن را به انتها رسانیده است. | ۲۶ |
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].
| ثقیل؛ درمیزان سنجیده شده و ناقص درآمده‌ای. | ۲۷ |
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.”
| فرس؛ سلطنت تو تقسیم گشته و به مادیان و فارسیان بخشیده شده است.» | ۲۸ |
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.
| آنگاه بلشصر امر فرمود تا دانیال را به ارغوان ملبس ساختند و طوق زرین بر گردنش (نهادند) و درباره‌اش ندا کردند که در مملکت حاکم سوم می‌باشد. | ۲۹ |
30 But that same night [soldiers from Media entered the city and] killed Belshazzar, the King of Babylonia.
| در همان شب بلشصرپادشاه کلدانیان کشته شد. | ۳۰ |
31 Darius, the King of Media, became the King [of Babylonia] when he was 62 years old.
| و داریوش مادی در حالی که شصت و دوساله بود سلطنت را یافت. | ۳۱ |
