Danieli 5
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, Mũthamaki Belishazaru nĩarugithĩirie andũ ake ngiri ĩmwe arĩa maarĩ igweta iruga inene, nake akĩnyuuanĩra ndibei nao.
Belshazzar the king has made a great feast to one thousand of his great men, and before the one thousand he is drinking wine;
2 Rĩrĩa Belishazaru aanyuuaga ndibei yake, agĩathana ikombe cia thahabu na cia betha, iria ithe Nebukadinezaru aatahĩte akaruta hekarũ-inĩ Jerusalemu, irehwo nĩgeetha mũthamaki, na andũ ake arĩa maarĩ igweta, na atumia ake na thuriya ciake manyue nacio.
Belshazzar has said—while tasting the wine—to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that the king may drink with them, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩrehe ikombe icio cia thahabu iria ciatahĩtwo ikarutwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai kũu Jerusalemu. Nake mũthamaki, na andũ ake acio maarĩ igweta, na atumia ake, na thuriya ciake makĩnyua nacio.
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 the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines, have drunk with them;
4 Nao maanyuuaga ndibei, makĩgoocaga ngai cia thahabu, na cia betha, na cia gĩcango, na cia kĩgera, na cia mĩtĩ, na cia mahiga.
they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Na rĩrĩ, o rĩmwe hakĩoneka ciara cia guoko kwa mũndũ ikĩandĩka rũthingo-inĩ rwa nyũmba ĩyo ya ũthamaki hakuhĩ na mũtĩ ũrĩa wa kũigĩrĩra tawa. Nake mũthamaki akĩona guoko kũu gũkĩandĩka.
In that hour fingers of a man’s hand have come forth, and they are writing in front of the lampstand, on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is writing;
6 Nake mũthamaki agĩthita gĩthiithi na akĩmaka mũno, nginya maru make makĩgũthana, na akĩremwo nĩkũrũgama na magũrũ make.
then the king’s countenance has changed, and his thoughts trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are striking against one another.
7 Mũthamaki akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga aragũri, na arori a njata, na arathi a mohoro mareehwo nake akĩĩra andũ acio oogĩ a Babuloni atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũngĩthoma maandĩko maya na anjĩĩre ũrĩa moigĩte, nĩekũhumbwo nguo cia rangi wa ndathi, na ekĩrwo kĩrengeeri gĩa thahabu ngingo, na nĩegũtuuo mwathani wa gatatũ ũthamaki-inĩ ũyũ.”
The king calls mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king has answered and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, “Any man who reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, he puts on purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and he rules third in the kingdom.”
8 Nao andũ a mũthamaki arĩa oogĩ othe magĩtoonya kuo, no matiahotire gũthoma maandĩko macio kana kwĩra mũthamaki ũrĩa moigĩte.
Then all the wise men of the king are coming up, and they are not able to read the writing, and to make known the interpretation to the king;
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Belishazaru agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmaka, na gĩthiithi gĩake gĩgĩthita makĩria. Andũ ake acio maarĩ igweta makĩrigwo nĩ ũrĩa mangĩĩka.
then King Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
10 Mũtumia wa mũthamaki rĩrĩa aiguire inegene rĩa mũthamaki na andũ acio ake maarĩ igweta agĩtoonya nyũmba ĩyo yarĩ na iruga. Akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki, ũrotũũra nginya tene! Tiga kũmaka o na kana ũtukie gĩthiithi nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũyũ!
The queen, on account of the words of the king and his great men, has come up to the banquet-house. The queen has answered and said, “O king, live for all ages; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor your countenance be changed:
11 Ũthamaki-inĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũkoragwo na roho wa ngai iria theru thĩinĩ wake. Matukũ-inĩ ma thoguo-rĩ, nĩonekire arĩ na meciiria marĩ na ũtaũku na ũmenyi o ta wa ngai icio. Thoguo, Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru, (ndĩrakwĩra ũhoro wa thoguo mũthamaki, ) nĩamũtuire mũnene wa aragũri, na arori a njata, na arathi a mohoro.
there is a man in your kingdom in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and in the days of your father, light, and understanding, and wisdom—as the wisdom of the gods—was found in him; and your father King Nebuchadnezzar, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him—your father, O king—
12 Mũndũ ũcio Danieli, na nĩwe mũthamaki eetire Beliteshazaru, nĩonekire arĩ na meciiria makuũku, na ũmenyo, na ũtaũku, o na ningĩ ũhoti wa gũtaũra irooto, na gũtaarĩria ndaĩ, na gũtuithania maũndũ marĩa maritũ. Tũmana Danieli etwo na nĩegũkwĩra ũrĩa maandĩko macio moigĩte.”
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 shows.”
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Danieli akĩrehwo mbere ya mũthamaki, nake mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Danieli, ũmwe wa andũ arĩa baba, ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki aarehire gũkũ matahĩtwo kuuma Juda?
Then Daniel has been caused to come up before the king; the king has answered and said to Daniel, “You are that Daniel who [is] of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, whom my father the king brought in out of Judah?
14 Nĩnjiguĩte atĩ ũrĩ na roho wa ngai iria theru thĩinĩ waku na atĩ ũrĩ na ũtaũku, na ũhoti wa gwĩciiria na ũũgĩ wa mwanya.
And I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods [is] in you, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been found in you.
15 Andũ arĩa oogĩ na aragũri nĩmekũrehetwo harĩ niĩ mathome maandĩko maya manjĩĩre ũrĩa moigĩte, no matinahota kũmataarĩria.
And now, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that they may read this writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to show the interpretation of the thing:
16 Rĩu nĩnjiguĩte atĩ wee no ũhote gũtaũra na kũhĩngĩcanũra maũndũ marĩa maritũ. Ũngĩhota gũthoma maandĩko maya na ũnjĩĩre ũrĩa moigĩte-rĩ, nĩũkũhumbwo nguo ya rangi wa ndathi, na wĩkĩrwo kĩrengeeri gĩa thahabu ngingo, na ũtuuo mwathani wa gatatũ ũthamaki-inĩ ũyũ.”
and I have heard of you, that you are able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, behold—you are able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know—purple you put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on your neck, and you rule third in the kingdom.”
17 Nake Danieli agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Iheo icio ciaku ikara nacio arĩ we, namo marĩhi maku ũmahe mũndũ ũngĩ. No o na gũkĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, nĩngũthomera mũthamaki maandĩko macio, na ndĩmwĩre ũrĩa moigĩte.
Then Daniel has answered and said before the king, “Your gifts be to yourself, and give your fee to another; nevertheless, the writing I read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know;
18 “Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki, Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩaheire thoguo Nebukadinezaru wathani, na ũnene, na riiri, na ũkaru.
you, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor, gave to your father Nebuchadnezzar:
19 Nĩ ũndũ wa kũmũtũgĩria ũguo-rĩ, andũ othe, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na andũ a mĩario yothe nĩmainainaga marĩ mbere yake na makamwĩtigĩra. Andũ arĩa mũthamaki angĩendire mooragwo nĩamooragithagia; arĩa angĩendire kũhonokia mĩoyo yao, nĩamahonokagia; arĩa angĩendire gũtũũgĩria, nĩamatũgagĩria; nao arĩa angĩendire kũnyiihia, nĩamanyiihagia.
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;
20 No rĩrĩa ngoro yake yanyiitirwo nĩ mwĩgaatho na akĩũmio ngoro nĩ mwĩtĩĩo, nĩarutirwo gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene na akĩaũrwo riiri wake.
and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he has been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away from him,
21 Akĩingatwo akĩeherio kuuma kũrĩ andũ, na akĩgarũrwo akĩgĩa na meciiria ta ma nyamũ, agĩtũũrania na njagĩ cia werũ-inĩ, na akĩrĩa nyeki ta ngʼombe; naguo mwĩrĩ wake waihũgagio nĩ ime riumĩte igũrũ, nginya rĩrĩa aamenyire atĩ Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩwe wathaga mothamaki ma andũ, na nĩwe ũmaheanaga kũrĩ o ũrĩa angĩenda kũhe.
and he is driven from the sons of men, and his heart has been like with the beasts, and with the wild donkeys [is] his dwelling; they cause him to eat the herb like oxen, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, until he has known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He wills He raises up over it.
22 “No wee nawe Belishazaru, mũrũ-we-rĩ, ndũigana kwĩnyiihia, o na gũkorwo nĩwooĩ maũndũ macio mothe.
And you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though all this you have known;
23 Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, wee nĩwĩnenehetie makĩria, ũgakararia Mwathani-wa-Igũrũ. Wetirie ikombe iria ciarutĩtwo hekarũ-inĩ yake, ũkĩreherwo, nawe na andũ aku arĩa marĩ igweta, na atumia aku na thuriya ciaku, mũkĩnyua ndibei nacio. Na inyuĩ mũkĩgooca ngai cia betha na cia thahabu, na cia gĩcango, na cia kĩgera, na cia mĩtĩ, o na cia mahiga, iria itoonaga, kana ikaigua, kana igakũũrana ũndũ. No rĩrĩ, wee ndũigana gũtĩĩa Ngai ũrĩa ũgwete muoyo waku guoko-inĩ gwake, na akamenya mĩthiĩre yaku yothe.
and against the Lord of the heavens you have lifted up yourself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before you, and you, and your great men, your wives, and your concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, you have praised: and the God in whose hand [is] your breath, and all your ways, Him you have not honored.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũma guoko kũu gũũke kwandĩke maandĩko macio.
Then from before Him is the extremity of the hand sent, and the writing is noted down;
25 “Maandĩko macio mandĩkĩtwo maroiga ũũ: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN
and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
26 “Naguo ũtaũri wa ciugo ici nĩguo ũyũ:
This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered—God has numbered your kingdom, and has finished it.
27 TEKEL nĩ ta kuuga: Wee nĩũthimĩtwo na ratiri, ũkoneka nĩũtigairie.
Weighed—You are weighed in the balances, and have been found lacking.
28 PERES nĩ ta kuuga: Ũthamaki waku nĩ mũgayanie, ũkaheanwo kũrĩ Amedi na Aperisia.”
Divided—Your kingdom is divided, and it has been given to the Medes and Persians.”
29 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Belishazaru agĩatha andũ ake, nao makĩhumba Danieli nguo ya rangi wa ndathi, na agĩĩkĩrwo kĩrengeeri gĩa thahabu ngingo, naguo ũhoro wake ũkĩmenyithanio atĩ nĩwe mwathani wa gatatũ ũthamaki-inĩ ũcio.
Then Belshazzar has spoken, 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.
30 Ũtukũ o ro ũcio, Belishazaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni akĩũragwo,
In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
31 nake Dario ũrĩa Mũmedia akĩoya ũthamaki ũcio, arĩ na ũkũrũ ta wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na ĩĩrĩ.
and Darius the Mede has received the kingdom when a son of sixty-two years.
