< Daniel 5 >

1 Balthasar, the kyng, made a greet feeste to hise beste men a thousynde, and ech man drank aftir his age.
Eze Belshaza, kpọrọ puku ndịisi nọ nʼalaeze ya oriri, ebe ha nọ ṅụọ nnọọ mmanya dị ukwuu.
2 Forsothe the kyng thanne drunkun comaundide, that the goldun and siluerne vessels schulden be brouyt forth, whiche Nabugodonosor, his fadir, hadde borun out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, that the kyng, and hise beste men, hise wyues, and councubyns schulden drynke in tho vessels.
Mgbe Belshaza na-aṅụ mmanya ya, ọ nyere iwu ka a chịtara ya iko ọlaedo na ọlaọcha nke nna ya bụ Nebukadneza si nʼụlọnsọ ukwu dị na Jerusalem chịkọta, ka eze na ndị a mara aha ha nʼalaeze ya, na ndị nwunye ya, na ndị iko ya jiri ha ṅụọ mmanya.
3 Thanne the goldun vessels and siluerne, whiche he hadde borun out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, weren brouyt forth; and the kyng, and hise beste men, and hise wyues, and concubyns, drunken in tho vessels.
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 Thei drunken wyn, and herieden her goddis of gold, and of siluer, of bras, and of irun, and of tree, and of stoon.
Ha ṅụrụ mmanya tookwa chi nke ọlaedo na ọlaọcha na bronz, na igwe na osisi na nkume.
5 In the same our fyngris apperiden, as of the hond of a man, writynge ayens the candilstike, in the pleyn part of the wal of the kyngis halle; and the kyng bihelde the fyngris of the hond writynge.
Na mberede, ha hụrụ mkpịsịaka mmadụ ka ọ na-ede ihe nʼaja ụlọ nke ụlọeze ahụ ha nọ nʼime ya, na ncherita ihu ebe a dọbara iheọkụ. Eze nʼonwe ya hụrụ aka ahụ mgbe ọ na-ede ihe ahụ.
6 Thanne the face of the kyng was chaungid, and hise thouytis disturbliden hym; and the ioyncturis of hise reynes weren loosid, and hise knees weren hurtlid to hem silf togidere.
Mgbe ahụ, ihu eze ahụ tụhịkọtara, gbarụọ nʼihi egwu. Oke ụjọ tụrụ ya. Ụkwụ ya makwara jijiji. Ikpere ya abụọ kụkọtara onwe ha.
7 Therfor the kyng criede strongli, that thei schulden brynge yn astronomyens, Caldeis, and dyuynouris bi lokyng of auteris. And the kyng spak, and seide to the wise men of Babiloyne, Who euer redith this scripture, and makith opyn the interpretyng therof to me, schal be clothid in purpur; and he schal haue a goldun bie in the necke, and he schal be the thridde in my rewme.
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 Thanne alle the wise men of the kyng entriden, and miyten not rede the scripture, nether schewe to the kyng the interpretyng therof.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị amamihe eze batara, ma o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ha pụrụ ịgụta, maọbụ ịkọwara eze ihe ọ pụtara.
9 Wherof kyng Balthasar was disturblid ynow, and his cheer was chaungid, but also hise beste men weren disturblid.
Nke a mere, ka eze Belshaza maa jijiji karịa, ihu ya gburu maramara ma gbarụkwaa. Ọ gbakwara ndị ozi ya gharịị.
10 Forsothe the queen entride in to the hous of feeste, for the thing that hadde bifeld to the king, and beste men; and sche spak, and seide, Kyng, lyue thou withouten ende. Thi thouytis disturble not thee, and thi face be not chaungid.
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 A man is in thi rewme, that hath the spirit of hooli goddis in hym silf, and in the daies of thi fadir kunnyng and wisdom weren foundun in hym; for whi and Nabugodonosor, thi fadir, made him prince of astronomyens, of enchaunteris, of Caldeis, and of dyuynouris bi lokyng on auteris; sotheli thi fadir, thou kyng, dide this;
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 for more spirit, and more prudent, and vndurstondyng, and interpretyng of dremes, and schewyng of priuytees, and assoilyng of boundun thingis weren foundun in hym, that is, in Danyel, to whom the kyng puttide the name Balthasar. Now therfor Daniel be clepid, and he schal telle the interpretyng. Therfor Daniel was brouyt in bifor the kyng. To whom the forseid kyng seide,
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 Art thou Danyel, of the sones of caitifte of Juda, whom my fader, the kyng, brouyte fro Judee?
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 Y haue herd of thee, that thou hast in thee the spirit of goddis, and more kunnyng, and vndurstondyng, and wisdom be foundun in thee.
Anụla m na i nwere mmụọ nke chi niile nʼime gị, na ị bụkwa onye jupụtara na nghọta na amamihe.
15 And now wise men, astronomyens, entriden in my siyt, to rede this scripture, and to schewe to me the interpretyng therof; and thei myyten not seie to me the vndurstondyng of this word.
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 Certis Y haue herde of thee, that thou maist interprete derk thingis, and vnbynde boundun thingis; therfor if thou maist rede the scripture, and schewe to me the interpretyng therof, thou schalt be clothid in purpur, and thou schalt haue a goldun bie aboute thi necke, and thou schalt be the thridde prince in my rewme.
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 To whiche thingis Danyel answeride, and seide bifore the kyng, Thi yiftis be to thee, and yyue thou to another man the yiftis of thin hous; forsothe, kyng, Y schal rede the scripture to thee, and Y schal schewe to thee the interpretyng therof.
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 O! thou kyng, hiyeste God yaf rewme, and greet worschipe, and glorie, and onour, to Nabugodonosor, thi fadir.
“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 for greet worschip which he hadde youe to thilke Nabugodonosor, alle puplis, lynagis, and langagis, trembliden and dredden hym; he killide whiche he wolde, and he smoot whiche he wolde, and he enhaunside whiche he wolde, and he made low which he wolde.
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 Forsothe whanne his herte was reisid, and his spirit was maad obstynat in pride, he was put doun of the seete of his rewme;
Ma mgbe nganga na ịnya isi jupụtara ya obi, Chineke sitere nʼocheeze ya wezuga ya, napụkwa ya ebube o nwere dịka eze.
21 and his glorie was takun awei, and he was cast out fro the sones of men; but also his herte was set with beestis, and his dwellyng was with wielde assis; also he eet hei as an oxe doith, and his bodi was colourid with the deew of heuene, til he knewe, that the hiyeste hath power in the rewme of men, and he schal reise on it whom euer he wole.
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 thou, Balthasar, the sone of hym, mekidest not thin herte, whanne thou knewist alle these thingis;
“Ma gị nwa ya, O Belshaza, ewedaghị onwe gị ala, nʼagbanyeghị na i ma ihe ndị a niile.
23 but thou were reisid ayens the Lord of heuene, and the vessels of his hous weren brouyt bifore thee, and thou, and thi beste men, and thi wyues, and thi concubyns, drunken wyn in tho vessels; and thou heriedist goddis of siluer, and of gold, and of bras, and of irun, and of tree, and of stoon, that seen not, nether heren, nether feelen; certis thou glorifiedist not God, that hath thi blast, and alle thi weies in his hond.
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 Therfor the fyngur of the hond was sent of hym, which hond wroot this thing that is writun.
Ọ bụ nke a mere o ji zite aka ahụ ị hụrụ, nke depụtara ozi a.
25 Sotheli this is the scripture which is discryued, Mane, Techel, Phares.
“Nke a bụ ozi ahụ e dere: mene, mene, tekel, parsin
26 And this is the interpretyng of the word. Mane, God hath noumbrid thi rewme, and hath fillid it;
“Ihe okwu ndị a pụtara bụ nke a: “Mene, Chineke agụkọọla ụbọchị ọchịchị gị, mee ka ha bịa na njedebe.
27 Techel, thou art weied in a balaunce, and thou art foundun hauynge lesse;
“Tekel, atụọla gị nʼime ihe ọtụtụ chọpụta na o nweghị ihe ọbụla ị bụ.
28 Phares, thi rewme is departid, and is youun to Medeis and Perseis.
“Parsin, ekewala alaeze gị nyefee ya nʼaka ndị Midia na Peshịa.”
29 Thanne, for the kyng comaundide, Daniel was clothid in purpur, and a goldun bie was youun aboute in his necke; and it was prechid of hym, that he hadde power, and was the thridde in the rewme.
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 In the same niyt Balthasar, the kyng of Caldeis, was slayn;
Nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ kwa ka e gburu Belshaza eze ndị Kaldịa.
31 and Daryus of Medei was successour in to the rewme, and he was two and sixti yeer eld.
Nʼabalị ahụ kwa ka Daraiọs onye Midia, bidoro ịchị dịka eze. Ọ gbara iri afọ isii na abụọ nʼoge o bidoro ịchị.
