Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his noblemen, and he drank wine in front of all one thousand of them.
Валтасар царь сотвори вечерю велию вельможам своим тысящи мужем,
2 While Belshazzar tasted the wine, he gave orders to bring the containers made of gold or silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem, from which he, his noblemen, and his wives and concubines could drink.
пред тысящею же вино, и пия Валтасар рече при вкушении вина, еже принести сосуды златы и сребряны, яже изнесе Навуходоносор отец его из храма (Господа Бога), иже во Иерусалиме, и да пиют в них царь и вельможи его, и наложницы его и возлежащыя (окрест) его.
3 The servants brought the gold containers that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God, in Jerusalem. The king, his noblemen, and his wives and concubines drank from them.
И принесоша сосуды златыя и сребряныя, яже изнесе (Навуходоносор царь) из храма Господа Бога, иже во Иерусалиме: и пияху ими царь и вельможи его, и наложницы его и возлежащыя (окрест) его:
4 They drank the wine and praised their idols made of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
пияху вино и похвалиша боги златыя и сребряныя, и медяныя и железныя, и древяныя и каменныя, а Бога вечнаго не благословиша, имущаго власть духа их.
5 At that moment the fingers of a human hand appeared in front of the lampstand and wrote on the plaster wall in the king's palace. The king could see part of the hand as it wrote.
В той час изыдоша персты руки человечи и писаху противу лампады на поваплении стены дому царева, и царь видяше персты руки пишущия.
6 Then the king's face changed and his thoughts frightened him; his limbs could not support him, and his knees were knocking together.
Тогда царю зрак изменися, и размышления его смущаху его, и соузы чресл его разслабляхуся, и колена его сражастася:
7 The king shouted a command to bring in those who claimed to speak with the dead, wise men, and astrologers. The king said to those known for their wisdom in Babylon, “Whoever explains this writing and its meaning will be clothed with purple and will have a gold chain around his neck. He will have the authority of the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
и возопи царь силою, еже ввести волхвов, Халдеев, газаринов: и рече царь мудрым Вавилонским: иже прочтет писание сие и разум его возвестит мне, той в багряницу облечется, и гривна златая на выю его, и третий во царстве моем обладати начнет.
8 Then all the king's men who were known for their wisdom came in, but they could not read the writing or explain its meaning to the king.
И вхождаху вси мудрии ко царю и не можаху писания прочести, ни разума царю возвестити.
9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed and the look on his face changed. His noblemen were perplexed.
Царь же Валтасар возмятеся, и зрак его изменися на нем, и вельможи его смущахуся.
10 Now the queen came into the banquet house because of what the king and his nobles had said. The queen said, “King, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you. Do not let the look on your face change.
И вниде царица в дом пирный, и рече царица: царю во веки живи: да не смущают тебе размышления твоя, и зрак твой да не изменяется:
11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods. In the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods was found in him. King Nebuchadnezzar, your father the king, made him chief of the magicians, as well as chief of those who speak with the dead, of the wise men, and of the astrologers.
есть муж во царстве твоем, в немже дух Божий: и во дни отца твоего бодрость и смысл обретеся в нем, и царь Навуходоносор отец твой князя постави его волхвом, обаятелем, Халдеем, газарином,
12 An excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, explaining riddles and solving problems—these qualities were found in this man Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now call for Daniel and he will tell you the meaning of what has been written.”
яко дух преизюбилный (бяше) в нем, и премудрость и смысл (обретеся) в нем, сказуя сны и возвещая сокровенная и разрешая соузы, Даниил, и царь нарече имя ему Валтасар: ныне убо да призовется, и сказание его возвестит тебе.
13 Then Daniel was brought before the king. The king said to him, “You are that Daniel, one of the people of the exiles of Judah, whom my father the king brought out of Judah.
Тогда Даниил введен бысть пред царя. И рече царь Даниилу: ты лиеси Даниил, от сынов пленник Иудейских, ихже приведе Навуходоносор царь отец мой?
14 I have heard about you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.
Слышах о тебе, яко дух Божий в тебе, и бодрость и смысл и премудрость изюбилна обретеся в тебе:
15 Now the men known for wisdom and those who claim to speak with the dead have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not make known the interpretation of it.
и ныне внидоша пред мя мудрии, волсви, газарини, да писание сие прочтут и сказания его возвестят ми, и не могоша возвестити мне:
16 I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and tell me its meaning, you will be clothed with purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will have the authority of the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
аз же слышах о тебе, яко можеши суды сказати: ныне убо аще возможеши ппсание сие прочести и сказание его возвестити мне, в багряницу облечешися, и гривна златая на выи твоей будет, и третий во царстве моем обладати будеши.
17 Then Daniel answered before the king, “Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another person. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to you, king, and will tell you the meaning.
Тогда отвеща Даниил и рече пред царем: даяния: твоя с тобою да будут, и дар дому твоего иному даждь, аз же писание прочту царю и сказание его возвещу тебе.
18 As for you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, greatness, honor, and majesty.
Царю! Бог Вышний царство и величество, и честь и славу даде Навуходоносору отцу твоему,
19 Because of the greatness God gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared him. He put to death those he wanted to die, and he kept alive those he wished to live. He raised up those he wanted, and he humbled those he wished.
и от величества, еже ему даде, вси людие, племена, языцы бяху трепещуще и боящеся от лица его: ихже хотяше убиваше, и ихже хотяше бияше, и ихже хотяше возвышаше, и ихже хотяше, той смиряше:
20 But when his heart was arrogant and his spirit was hardened so that he acted presumptuously, he was brought down from his kingly throne, and they took away his majesty.
и егда вознесеся сердце его и утвердися дух его еже презорствовати, сведеся от престола царства, и слава и честь отяся от него,
21 He was driven away from humanity, he had the mind of an animal, and he lived with the wild donkeys. He ate grass like an ox. His body was wet with the dew from the heavens until he learned that the Most High God rules over the kingdoms of people and that he sets over them anyone he wishes.
и от человек отгнася, и сердце его со зверьми отдася, и житие его со дивиими ослы, и травою аки вола питаху его, и от росы небесныя оросися тело его, дондеже уразуме, яко владеет Бог Вышний царством человеческим, и емуже хощет, даст е.
22 You his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this.
И ты убо, сыне его Валтасаре, не смирил еси сердца твоего пред Господем: не вся ли сия ведал еси?
23 You have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. From his house they brought you the containers that you, your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from, and you praised the idols made of silver and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone—idols that do not see, hear, or know anything. You have not honored the God who holds your breath in his hand and who knows all your ways.
Но на Господа Бога небеснаго вознеслся еси, и сосуды храма Его принесоша пред тебе, ты же и вельможи твои, и наложницы твоя и возлежащыя (окрест) тебе, вино пиясте ими: и боги златыя и сребряныя, и медяныя и железныя, и каменныя и древяныя, иже ни видят, ни слышат, ни разумеют, похвалил еси, а Бога, у Негоже дыхание твое в руце Его, и вси путие твои, Того не прославил еси.
24 Then God sent out a hand from his presence and this writing was done.
Сего ради от лица Его послани быша персты ручнии и писание сие вчиниша.
25 This is the writing that was done: 'Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Pharsin.'
Се же есть писание вчиненое: мани, фекел, фарес.
26 This is its meaning: 'Mene,' 'God has numbered your kingdom and brought it to an end.'
Се сказание глагола: мани, измери Бог царство твое и сконча е:
27 'Tekel,' 'you are weighed in the scales and are found lacking.'
фекел, поставися в мерилех и обретеся лишаемо:
28 'Peres,' 'your kingdom is divided and is given to the Medes and Persians.'”
фарес, разделися царство твое и дадеся Мидом и Персом.
29 Then Belshazzar gave a command, and they clothed Daniel with purple. A chain of gold was put around his neck, and the king made a proclamation about him that he would have the authority of the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
И рече Валтасар: (облецыте и). И облекоша Даниила в багряницу, и гривну златую возложиша на выю его, и проповеда о нем, еже быти ему князю третиему во царстве его.
30 That night Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, was killed,
Валтасара царя Халдейска убиша в ту нощь,
31 and Darius the Mede received the kingdom when he was about sixty-two years old.
Дарий же Мидянин прия царство, сый шестидесяти и двою лет.
