< Daniyel 5 >

1 Sarki Belshazar ya yi babban biki domin dubban hakimansa ya kuma sha ruwan inabi tare da su.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, drinking wine before the thousand.
2 Yayinda Belshazar yake shan ruwan inabi, sai ya umarta a kawo zinariya da azurfan da Nebukadnezzar mahaifinsa ya kwaso daga haikali a Urushalima, saboda sarki da hakimansa, da matansa da ƙwarƙwaransa su sha da su.
Belshazzar, while he was overcome with wine, gave orders for them to put before him the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem; so that the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, might take their drink from them.
3 Sai suka kawo kayan zinariyan nan da aka kwaso daga haikalin Allah a Urushalima, sarki kuwa da hakimansa, da matansa, da ƙwarƙwaransa suka yi ta sha da su.
Then they took in the gold and silver vessels which had been in the Temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, took wine from them.
4 Yayinda suke shan ruwan inabin, sai suka yabi allolin zinariya da azurfa, da na tagulla, da na ƙarfe, da na itace da kuma na dutse.
They took their wine and gave praise to the gods of gold and silver, of brass and iron and wood and stone.
5 Nan da nan sai ga yatsotsin hannun mutum sun bayyana, suna yin rubutu a kan shafen bangon, kusa da wurin da ake ajiye fitilar fadar sarki. Sarki kuwa yana ganin hannun yayinda yake rubutu.
In that very hour the fingers of a man's hand were seen, writing opposite the support for the light on the white wall of the king's house, and the king saw the part of the hand which was writing.
6 Sai fuskarsa ta ruɗe, ya kuma ji tsoro ƙwarai har gwiwoyinsa suka yi ta bugun juna, ƙafafunsa kuma suka rasa ƙarfi.
Then the colour went from the king's face, and he was troubled by his thoughts; strength went from his body, and his knees were shaking.
7 Sai sarki ya kira masu dabo, masanan taurari da masu duba, a kawo su, ya kuma ce wa masu hikima na Babilon, “Duk wanda ya karanta wannan rubutu ya kuma faɗa mini abin da yake nufi, za a sa masa rigar shunayya, a kuma sa masa sarƙar zinariya a wuyansa, zai zama na uku a cikin masu mulkin ƙasar.”
The king, crying out with a loud voice, said that the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs, were to be sent for. The king made answer and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever is able to make out this writing, and make clear to me the sense of it, will be clothed in purple and have a chain of gold round his neck, and will be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.
8 Sa’an nan sai dukan masu hikima suka zo ciki, amma ba su iya karanta rubutun ba ko su faɗa wa sarki abin da yake nufi.
Then all the king's wise men came in: but they were not able to make out the writing or give the sense of it to the king.
9 Saboda haka Sarki Belshazar ya firgita ƙwarai kuma fuskarsa ta ƙara ruɗewa. Hakimansa kuma suka rikice.
Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled and the colour went from his face, and his lords were at a loss.
10 Sai sarauniya, da jin muryoyi na sarki da na hakimansa, ta shiga babban ɗakin liyafar. Ta ce, “Ya sarki, ranka yă daɗe! Kada ka firgita! Kada fuskarka ta ruɗe!
The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the house of the feast: the queen made answer and said, O King, have life for ever; do not be troubled by your thoughts or let the colour go from your face:
11 Akwai wani mutum a masarautarka wanda yake da ruhun alloli masu tsarki a cikinsa. A zamanin mahaifinka an gane cewa yana da basira da hazaka da hikima kamar na alloli. Sarki Nebukadnezzar mahaifinka, mahaifinka sarki, na ce, ya naɗa shugaban masu dabo, da masu sihiri, masanan taurari da kuma masu duba.
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 reason like the wisdom of the gods were seen in him: and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him master of the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs;
12 Wannan mutum Daniyel, wanda sarki ya kira Belteshazar, an gane yana da ruhu nagari, da ilimi, da ganewa don yin fassarar mafarkai, da bayyana ma’anar kacici-kacici, da warware al’amura masu wuya. Ka kira Daniyel shi kuwa zai faɗa maka abin da rubutun nan yake nufi.”
Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he will make clear the sense of the writing.
13 Saboda haka aka kawo Daniyel a gaban sarki, sai sarki ya ce masa, “Kai ne Daniyel ɗin nan, ɗaya daga cikin kamammu waɗanda mahaifina sarki ya kawo daga Yahuda?
Then they took Daniel in before the king; the king made answer and said to Daniel, So you are that Daniel, of the prisoners of Judah, whom my father took out of Judah.
14 Na sami labari cewa kana da ruhun alloli a cikinka da kuma basira, da hazaka da kuma fitacciyar hikima.
And I have had news of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and reason and special wisdom have been seen in you.
15 An kawo masu hikima da masu dabo a gabana domin su karanta wannan rubutu su kuma faɗa mini abin da yake nufi, amma ba su iya ba.
And now the wise men, the users of secret arts, have been sent in before me for the purpose of reading this writing and making clear to me the sense of it: but they are not able to make clear the sense of the thing:
16 Na sami labari cewa kana iya ba da fassara da kuma warware matsaloli masu wuya. In har ka iya karanta wannan rubutun ka kuma faɗa mini abin da yake nufi, za a sa maka riga shunayya, a kuma sa sarƙar zinariya a wuyanka. Za ka zama na uku a cikin masu mulkin ƙasar.”
And I have had news of you, that you have the power of making things clear, and of answering hard questions: now if you are able to make out the writing and give me the sense of it, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain round your neck and be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.
17 Sai Daniyel ya amsa wa sarki ya ce, “Za ka iya ajiye kyautar wa kanka ko kuma ka ba wa wani. Duk da haka, zan karanta wa sarki rubutun, in kuma faɗa abin da yake nufi.
Then Daniel made answer and said to the king, Keep your offerings for yourself, and give your rewards to another; but I, after reading the writing to the king, will give him the sense of it.
18 “Ya sarki, Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka ya ba mahaifinka Nebukadnezzar sarauta, da girma, da ɗaukaka, da martaba.
As for you, O King, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, the kingdom and great power and glory and honour:
19 Saboda irin matsayin da ya ba shi, dukan mutane da al’ummai da kuma dukan harsuna suka ji tsoronsa suka yi rawar jiki a gabansa. Bisa ga ganin damarsa yakan kashe wani, ya bar wani da rai, haka kuma yakan ɗaukaka wani, ya ƙasƙantar da wani.
And because of the great power he gave him, all peoples and nations and languages were shaking in fear before him: some he put to death and others he kept living, at his pleasure, lifting up some and putting others down as it pleased him.
20 Amma da lokacin da zuciyarsa ta cika da girman kai ta kuma taurare, sai aka kore shi daga gadon sarautarsa, aka raba shi kuma da darajarsa.
But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became hard with pride, he was put down from his place as king, and they took his glory from him:
21 Aka kore shi daga cikin mutane aka kuma ba shi tunani irin na dabba; ya yi zama tare da jakunan jeji, ya kuma ci ciyawa kamar shanu; jikinsa kuma ya jiƙe da raɓa, har zuwa lokacin da ya gane, ashe, Allah Maɗaukaki ne mai iko duka a kan dukan mulkoki a duniya, yake kuma ba da mulki ga duk wanda ya ga dama.
And he was sent out from among the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts', and he was living with the asses of the fields; he had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he was certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives power over it to anyone at his pleasure.
22 “Amma kai ɗansa, Ya Belshazar, ba ka ƙasƙantar da kanka ba, ko da yake ka san wannan duka.
And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not kept your heart free from pride, though you had knowledge of all this;
23 A maimakon, sai ka nuna wa Ubangiji na sama girman kai. Ka sa aka kawo maka su kwaf na zinariya daga haikalinsa, da kai da hakimanka, da matanka da ƙwarƙwaranka kuka sha ruwan inabi da su. Kuka yabi allolin zinariya da na azurfa, da na tagulla, da na baƙin ƙarfe, da na itace, da na dutse waɗanda ba sa ji, ba sa gani, ba sa da gane kome. Amma ba ka girmama Allah ba, wanda ranka da dukan harkokinka suna a hannunsa.
But you have been lifting yourself up against the Lord of heaven, and they have put the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your women, have taken wine in them; and you have given praise to gods of silver and gold, of brass and iron and wood and stone, who are without the power of seeing or hearing, and without knowledge: and to the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not given glory;
24 Saboda haka ya aiko da hannun da ya yi rubutun nan.
Then the part of the hand was sent out from before him, and this writing was recorded.
25 “Wannan shi ne rubutun da aka yi, Mene, mene, tekel, farsin
And this is the writing which was recorded, Mene, tekel, peres.
26 “Abin da kalmomin nan suke nufi shi ne, “Mene, Allah ya ƙayyade yawan kwanakin mulkinka ya kuma kawo su ga ƙarshe.
This is the sense of the words: Mene; your kingdom has been numbered by God and ended.
27 “Tekel, An kuma auna ka a ma’auni aka tarar ka kāsa.
Tekel; you have been put in the scales and seen to be under weight.
28 “Feres, An raba mulkinka aka ba wa Medes da Farisa.”
Peres; your kingdom has been cut up and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Sai Belshazar ya umarta, aka sa wa Daniyel riga mai shunayya, aka sa sarƙar zinariya a wuyansa, aka kuma yi shela, cewa yanzu shi ne na uku a cikin masu mulkin ƙasar.
Then, by the order of Belshazzar, they put a purple robe on Daniel, and a gold chain round his neck, and a public statement was made that he was to be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.
30 A wannan dare aka kashe Belshazar, sarkin Babiloniyawa,
That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, was put to death.
31 Dariyus mutumin Medes kuwa ya karɓi mulkin, yana da shekara sittin da biyu.
And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being then about sixty-two years old.
