Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king hath made a great feast to a thousand of his great men, and before the thousand he is drinking wine;
Kralj Belšacár je priredil veliko zabavo svojim tisoč velikašem in pil vino pred tisočimi.
2 Belshazzar hath said — while tasting the wine — to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that drink with them may the king, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines.
Medtem ko je Belšacár okušal vino, je zapovedal, da prinesejo zlate in srebrne posode, ki jih je njegov oče Nebukadnezar odnesel iz templja, ki je bil v Jeruzalemu, da bi kralj in njegovi princi, njegove žene in njegove priležnice lahko pili iz njih.
3 Then they have brought in the vessels of gold that had been taken out of the temple of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and drunk with them have the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines;
Potem so prinesli zlate posode, ki so bile odnesene iz templja Božje hiše, ki je bila v Jeruzalemu; in kralj, njegovi princi, njegove žene in njegove priležnice so pili iz njih.
4 they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Pili so vino in hvalili bogove iz zlata in iz srebra, iz brona, iz železa, iz lesa in iz kamna.
5 In that hour come forth have fingers of a man's hand, and they are writing over-against the candlestick, on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is writing;
V isti uri so prišli prsti človeške roke in pisali nasproti svečniku na zidnem ometu kraljeve palače, in kralj je zagledal del roke, ki je pisala.
6 then the king's countenance hath changed, and his thoughts do trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are smiting one against another.
Potem je bilo kraljevo obličje spremenjeno in njegove misli so ga vznemirile, tako da so bili sklepi njegovih ledij mlahavi in njegova kolena so udarjala druga ob drugo.
7 Call doth the king mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. Answered hath the king, and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, 'Any man who doth read this writing, and its interpretation doth shew me, purple he putteth on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and third in the kingdom he doth rule.'
Kralj je glasno zaklical, da pripeljejo astrologe, Kaldejce in napovedovalce usode. In kralj je spregovoril in rekel modrim možem iz Babilona: »Kdorkoli bo prebral to pisanje in mi pokazal njegovo razlago, bo oblečen v škrlat in okoli svojega vratu bo imel verižico iz zlata in bo tretji vladar v kraljestvu.«
8 Then coming up are all the wise men of the king, and they are not able to read the writing, and the interpretation to make known to the king;
Potem so vstopili vsi kraljevi modri možje, toda niso mogli prebrati pisanja niti kralju razglasiti njegove razlage.
9 then the king Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
Potem je bil kralj Belšacár silno vznemirjen in njegovo obličje na njem je bilo spremenjeno in njegovi velikaši so bili osupli.
10 The queen, on account of the words of the king and his great men, to the banquet-house hath come up. Answered hath the queen, and said, 'O king, to the ages live; let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor thy countenance be changed:
Torej kraljica je zaradi razloga besed kralja in njegovih velikašev prišla v hišo gostije in kraljica je spregovorila ter rekla: »Oh kralj, živi na veke. Naj te tvoje misli ne vznemirjajo niti naj tvoje obličje ne bo spremenjeno.
11 there is a man in thy kingdom in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and, in the days of thy father, light, and understanding, and wisdom — as the wisdom of the gods — was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him — thy father, O king —
V tvojem kraljestvu je mož, v katerem je duh svetih bogov in v dneh tvojega očeta je bilo v njem najti razsvetljenje, razumevanje in modrost, podobno modrosti bogov; ki ga je kralj Nebukadnezar, tvoj oče, kralj, pravim, tvoj oče, postavil za gospodarja čarovnikov, astrologov, Kaldejcev in napovedovalcev usode;
12 because that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of enigmas, and loosing of knots was found in him, in Daniel, whose name the king made Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and the interpretation he doth show.'
ker se je v tem istem Danielu, ki ga je kralj poimenoval Beltšacár, našel odličen duh, spoznanje, razumevanje sanj, naznanjanje težkih razsodb in razreševanje dvomov. Naj bo torej Daniel poklican in pokazal bo razlago.«
13 Then Daniel hath been caused to come up before the king; answered hath the king, and said to Daniel, 'Thou art that Daniel who [art] of the sons of the Removed of Judah, whom the king my father brought in out of Judah?
Potem je bil Daniel priveden pred kralja. In kralj je spregovoril ter Danielu rekel: » Ali si ti tisti Daniel, ki si izmed otrok Judovega ujetništva, ki jih je kralj, moj oče, privedel iz Judeje?
14 And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods [is] in thee, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been found in thee.
O tebi sem slišal celo, da je v tebi duh bogov in da je v tebi najti razsvetljenje, razumevanje in odlično modrost.
15 'And now, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that this writing they may read, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to shew the interpretation of the thing:
Sedaj so bili predme privedeni modri možje, astrologi, da bi prebrali to pisanje in mi dali spoznati njegovo razlago, toda niso mogli pokazati razlage stvari.
16 and I — I have heard of thee, that thou art able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, lo — thou art able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know — purple thou dost put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on thy neck, and third in the kingdom thou dost rule.'
O tebi pa sem slišal, da lahko daješ razlage in razrešuješ dvome. Torej če lahko prebereš pisanje in mi razglasiš njegov pomen, potem boš oblečen s škrlatom in okoli svojega vratu boš imel zlato verižico in boš tretji vladar v kraljestvu.«
17 Then hath Daniel answered and said before the king, 'Thy gifts be to thyself, and thy fee to another give; nevertheless, the writing I do read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know;
Potem je Daniel odgovoril in pred kraljem rekel: »Naj tvoja darila [ostanejo] tebi in svoje nagrade daj drugemu; kljub temu bom kralju prebral pisanje in mu dal spoznati razlago.
18 thou, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour, gave to Nebuchadnezzar thy father:
Ti, oh kralj. Najvišji Bog je dal tvojemu očetu Nebukadnezarju kraljestvo, veličanstvo, slavo in čast.
19 and because of the greatness that He gave to him, all peoples, nations, and languages were trembling and fearing before him: whom he willed he was slaying, and whom he willed he was keeping alive, and whom he willed he was raising up, and whom he willed he was making low;
Zaradi veličanstva, ki mu ga je on dal, so vsa ljudstva, narodi in jeziki trepetali in se bali pred njim. Kogar je želel, je usmrtil; in kogar je želel, je ohranil živega; in kogar je želel, je povišal; in kogar je želel, je odstavil.
20 and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he hath been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away from him,
Toda ko je bilo njegovo srce povišano in je njegov um zakrknil v ponosu, je bil odstavljen od svojega kraljevskega prestola in njegovo slavo so odvzeli od njega.
21 and from the sons of men he is driven, and his heart with the beasts hath been like, and with the wild asses [is] his dwelling; the herb like oxen they cause him to eat, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, till that he hath known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He willeth He raiseth up over it.
Pregnan je bil izmed človeških sinov in njegovo srce je bilo narejeno kakor živalsko in njegovo prebivališče je bilo z divjimi osli. Hranili so ga s travo kakor vole in njegovo telo je bilo omočeno z roso neba, dokler ni vedel, da najvišji Bog vlada v kraljestvu ljudi in da on postavlja čezenj kogarkoli on želi.
22 'And thou, his son, Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though all this thou hast known;
Ti, njegov sin, oh Belšacár, nisi ponižal svojega srca, čeprav si vse to vedel,
23 and against the Lord of the heavens thou hast lifted up thyself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before thee, and thou, and thy great men, thy wives, and thy concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, thou hast praised: and the God in whose hand [is] thy breath, and all thy ways, Him thou hast not honoured.
temveč si se povzdignil zoper Gospoda nebes in predte so privedli posode njegove hiše in ti in tvoji velikaši, tvoje žene in tvoje priležnice so iz njih pili vino, in hvalil si bogove iz srebra, zlata, brona, železa, lesa in kamna, ki ne vidijo niti ne slišijo niti ne vedo. Boga pa, v čigar roki je tvoj dih in katerega so vse tvoje poti, ti nisi slavil.
24 'Then from before Him sent is the extremity of the hand, and the writing is noted down;
Torej je bil od njega poslan del roke, in zapisano je bilo to pisanje.
25 and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
To je pisanje, ki je bilo zapisano: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered — God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
To je razlaga stvari: MENE: ›Bog je preštel tvoje kraljestvo in ga končal.‹
27 Weighed — Thou art weighed in the balances, and hast been found lacking.
TEKEL: ›Stehtan si bil na tehtnici in si najden pomanjkljiv.‹
28 Divided — Divided is thy kingdom, and it hath been given to the Medes and Persians.'
PERES: ›Tvoje kraljestvo je razdeljeno in dano Medijcem in Perzijcem.‹«
29 Then hath Belshazzar said, and they have clothed Daniel with purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and they have proclaimed concerning him that he is the third ruler in the kingdom.
Potem je Belšacár zapovedal in Daniela so oblekli s škrlatom in okoli njegovega vratu obesili verižico iz zlata in glede njega naredili razglas, da naj bi bil tretji vladar v kraljestvu.
30 In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
V tej noči je bil Belšacár, kralj Kaldejcev, umorjen.
31 and Darius the Mede hath received the kingdom, when a son of sixty and two years.
Medijec Darej je dobil kraljestvo; bil je star okoli dvainšestdeset let.
