דניאל 5
| בֵּלְשַׁאצַּר מַלְכָּא עֲבַד לְחֶם רַב לְרַבְרְבָנוֹהִי אֲלַף וְלׇקֳבֵל אַלְפָּא חַמְרָא שָׁתֵֽה׃ | 1 |
Belshazzar the king hath made a great feast to a thousand of his great men, and before the thousand he is drinking wine;
| בֵּלְשַׁאצַּר אֲמַר ׀ בִּטְעֵם חַמְרָא לְהַיְתָיָה לְמָאנֵי דַּהֲבָא וְכַסְפָּא דִּי הַנְפֵּק נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר אֲבוּהִי מִן־הֵיכְלָא דִּי בִירוּשְׁלֶם וְיִשְׁתּוֹן בְּהוֹן מַלְכָּא וְרַבְרְבָנוֹהִי שֵׁגְלָתֵהּ וּלְחֵנָתֵֽהּ׃ | 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.
| בֵּאדַיִן הַיְתִיו מָאנֵי דַהֲבָא דִּי הַנְפִּקוּ מִן־הֵיכְלָא דִּֽי־בֵית אֱלָהָא דִּי בִירֽוּשְׁלֶם וְאִשְׁתִּיו בְּהוֹן מַלְכָּא וְרַבְרְבָנוֹהִי שֵׁגְלָתֵהּ וּלְחֵנָתֵֽהּ׃ | 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;
| אִשְׁתִּיו חַמְרָא וְשַׁבַּחוּ לֵֽאלָהֵי דַּהֲבָא וְכַסְפָּא נְחָשָׁא פַרְזְלָא אָעָא וְאַבְנָֽא׃ | 4 |
they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
| בַּהּ־שַׁעֲתָה (נפקו) [נְפַקָה] אֶצְבְּעָן דִּי יַד־אֱנָשׁ וְכָֽתְבָן לׇקֳבֵל נֶבְרַשְׁתָּא עַל־גִּירָא דִּֽי־כְתַל הֵיכְלָא דִּי מַלְכָּא וּמַלְכָּא חָזֵה פַּס יְדָא דִּי כָתְבָֽה׃ | 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;
| אֱדַיִן מַלְכָּא זִיוֺהִי שְׁנוֹהִי וְרַעְיֹנֹהִי יְבַהֲלוּנֵּהּ וְקִטְרֵי חַרְצֵהּ מִשְׁתָּרַיִן וְאַרְכֻבָּתֵהּ דָּא לְדָא נָֽקְשָֽׁן׃ | 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.
| קָרֵא מַלְכָּא בְּחַיִל לְהֶֽעָלָה לְאָשְׁפַיָּא (כשדיא) [כַּשְׂדָּאֵי] וְגָזְרַיָּא עָנֵה מַלְכָּא וְאָמַר ׀ לְחַכִּימֵי בָבֶל דִּי כׇל־אֱנָשׁ דִּֽי־יִקְרֵה כְּתָבָה דְנָה וּפִשְׁרֵהּ יְחַוִּנַּנִי אַרְגְּוָנָא יִלְבַּשׁ (והמנוכא) [וְהַֽמְנִיכָא] דִֽי־דַהֲבָא עַֽל־צַוְּארֵהּ וְתַלְתִּי בְמַלְכוּתָא יִשְׁלַֽט׃ | 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.'
| אֱדַיִן (עללין) [עָֽלִּין] כֹּל חַכִּימֵי מַלְכָּא וְלָֽא־כָהֲלִין כְּתָבָא לְמִקְרֵא (ופשרא) [וּפִשְׁרֵהּ] לְהוֹדָעָה לְמַלְכָּֽא׃ | 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;
| אֱדַיִן מַלְכָּא בֵלְשַׁאצַּר שַׂגִּיא מִתְבָּהַל וְזִיוֺהִי שָׁנַיִן עֲלוֹהִי וְרַבְרְבָנוֹהִי מִֽשְׁתַּבְּשִֽׁין׃ | 9 |
then the king Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
| מַלְכְּתָא לׇקֳבֵל מִלֵּי מַלְכָּא וְרַבְרְבָנוֹהִי לְבֵית מִשְׁתְּיָא (עללת) [עַלַּת] עֲנָת מַלְכְּתָא וַאֲמֶרֶת מַלְכָּא לְעָלְמִין חֱיִי אַֽל־יְבַהֲלוּךְ רַעְיוֹנָךְ (וזיויך) [וְזִוָיךְ] אַל־יִשְׁתַּנּֽוֹ׃ | 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:
| אִיתַי גְּבַר בְּמַלְכוּתָךְ דִּי רוּחַ אֱלָהִין קַדִּישִׁין בֵּהּ וּבְיוֹמֵי אֲבוּךְ נַהִירוּ וְשׇׂכְלְתָנוּ וְחׇכְמָה כְּחׇכְמַת־אֱלָהִין הִשְׁתְּכַחַת בֵּהּ וּמַלְכָּא נְבֻֽכַדְנֶצַּר אֲבוּךְ רַב חַרְטֻמִּין אָֽשְׁפִין כַּשְׂדָּאִין גָּזְרִין הֲקִימֵהּ אֲבוּךְ מַלְכָּֽא׃ | 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 —
| כׇּל־קֳבֵל דִּי רוּחַ ׀ יַתִּירָה וּמַנְדַּע וְשׇׂכְלְתָנוּ מְפַשַּׁר חֶלְמִין וְֽאַֽחֲוָיַת אֲחִידָן וּמְשָׁרֵא קִטְרִין הִשְׁתְּכַחַת בֵּהּ בְּדָנִיֵּאל דִּֽי־מַלְכָּא שָׂם־שְׁמֵהּ בֵּלְטְשַׁאצַּר כְּעַן דָּנִיֵּאל יִתְקְרֵי וּפִשְׁרָה יְהַֽחֲוֵֽה׃ | 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.'
| בֵּאדַיִן דָּֽנִיֵּאל הֻעַל קֳדָם מַלְכָּא עָנֵה מַלְכָּא וְאָמַר לְדָנִיֵּאל (אנתה) [אַנְתְּ־]הוּא דָנִיֵּאל דִּֽי־מִן־בְּנֵי גָלוּתָא דִּי יְהוּד דִּי הַיְתִי מַלְכָּא אַבִי מִן־יְהֽוּד׃ | 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?
| וְשִׁמְעֵת (עליך) [עֲלָךְ] דִּי רוּחַ אֱלָהִין בָּךְ וְנַהִירוּ וְשׇׂכְלְתָנוּ וְחׇכְמָה יַתִּירָה הִשְׁתְּכַחַת בָּֽךְ׃ | 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.
| וּכְעַן הֻעַלּוּ קׇֽדָמַי חַכִּֽימַיָּא אָֽשְׁפַיָּא דִּֽי־כְתָבָה דְנָה יִקְרוֹן וּפִשְׁרֵהּ לְהוֹדָעֻתַנִי וְלָֽא־כָהֲלִין פְּשַֽׁר־מִלְּתָא לְהַחֲוָיָֽה׃ | 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:
| וַאֲנָה שִׁמְעֵת (עליך) [עֲלָךְ] דִּֽי־[תִכּוּל] (תוכל) פִּשְׁרִין לְמִפְשַׁר וְקִטְרִין לְמִשְׁרֵא כְּעַן הֵן (תוכל) [תִּכּוּל] כְּתָבָא לְמִקְרֵא וּפִשְׁרֵהּ לְהוֹדָעוּתַנִי אַרְגְּוָנָא תִלְבַּשׁ (והמונכא) [וְהַֽמְנִיכָא] דִֽי־דַהֲבָא עַֽל־צַוְּארָךְ וְתַלְתָּא בְמַלְכוּתָא תִּשְׁלַֽט׃ | 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.'
| בֵּאדַיִן עָנֵה דָנִיֵּאל וְאָמַר קֳדָם מַלְכָּא מַתְּנָתָךְ לָךְ לֶֽהֶוְיָן וּנְבָזְבְּיָתָךְ לְאׇחֳרָן הַב בְּרַם כְּתָבָא אֶקְרֵא לְמַלְכָּא וּפִשְׁרָא אֲהוֹדְעִנֵּֽהּ׃ | 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;
| (אנתה) [אַנְתְּ] מַלְכָּא אֱלָהָא (עליא) [עִלָּאָה] מַלְכוּתָא וּרְבוּתָא וִיקָרָא וְהַדְרָא יְהַב לִנְבֻכַדְנֶצַּר אֲבֽוּךְ׃ | 18 |
thou, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour, gave to Nebuchadnezzar thy father:
| וּמִן־רְבוּתָא דִּי יְהַב־לֵהּ כֹּל עַֽמְמַיָּא אֻמַּיָּא וְלִשָּׁנַיָּא הֲווֹ (זאעין) [זָיְעִין] וְדָחֲלִין מִן־קֳדָמוֹהִי דִּֽי־הֲוָא צָבֵא הֲוָה קָטֵל וְדִֽי־הֲוָה צָבֵא הֲוָה מַחֵא וְדִֽי־הֲוָה צָבֵא הֲוָה מָרִים וְדִֽי־הֲוָא צָבֵא הֲוָא מַשְׁפִּֽל׃ | 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;
| וּכְדִי רִם לִבְבֵהּ וְרוּחֵהּ תִּֽקְפַת לַהֲזָדָה הׇנְחַת מִן־כׇּרְסֵא מַלְכוּתֵהּ וִֽיקָרָה הֶעְדִּיו מִנֵּֽהּ׃ | 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,
| וּמִן־בְּנֵי אֲנָשָׁא טְרִיד וְלִבְבֵהּ ׀ עִם־חֵיוְתָא (שוי) [שַׁוִּיו] וְעִם־עֲרָֽדַיָּא מְדֹרֵהּ עִשְׂבָּא כְתוֹרִין יְטַעֲמוּנֵּהּ וּמִטַּל שְׁמַיָּא גִּשְׁמֵהּ יִצְטַבַּע עַד דִּֽי־יְדַע דִּֽי־שַׁלִּיט אֱלָהָא (עליא) [עִלָּאָה] בְּמַלְכוּת אֲנָשָׁא וּלְמַן־דִּי יִצְבֵּא יְהָקֵים (עליה) [עֲלַֽהּ]׃ | 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.
| (ואנתה) [וְאַנְתְּ] בְּרֵהּ בֵּלְשַׁאצַּר לָא הַשְׁפֵּלְתְּ לִבְבָךְ כׇּל־קֳבֵל דִּי כׇל־דְּנָה יְדַֽעְתָּ׃ | 22 |
'And thou, his son, Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though all this thou hast known;
| וְעַל מָרֵֽא־שְׁמַיָּא ׀ הִתְרוֹמַמְתָּ וּלְמָֽאנַיָּא דִֽי־בַיְתֵהּ הַיְתִיו (קדמיך) [קׇֽדָמָךְ] (ואנתה) [וְאַנְתְּ] (ורברבניך) [וְרַבְרְבָנָךְ] שֵֽׁגְלָתָךְ וּלְחֵנָתָךְ חַמְרָא שָׁתַיִן בְּהוֹן וְלֵֽאלָהֵי כַסְפָּֽא־וְדַהֲבָא נְחָשָׁא פַרְזְלָא אָעָא וְאַבְנָא דִּי לָֽא־חָזַיִן וְלָא־שָׁמְעִין וְלָא יָדְעִין שַׁבַּחְתָּ וְלֵֽאלָהָא דִּֽי־נִשְׁמְתָךְ בִּידֵהּ וְכׇל־אֹרְחָתָךְ לֵהּ לָא הַדַּֽרְתָּ׃ | 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.
| בֵּאדַיִן מִן־קֳדָמוֹהִי שְׁלִיחַ פַּסָּא דִֽי־יְדָא וּכְתָבָא דְנָה רְשִֽׁים׃ | 24 |
'Then from before Him sent is the extremity of the hand, and the writing is noted down;
| וּדְנָה כְתָבָא דִּי רְשִׁים מְנֵא מְנֵא תְּקֵל וּפַרְסִֽין׃ | 25 |
and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
| דְּנָה פְּשַֽׁר־מִלְּתָא מְנֵא מְנָֽה־אֱלָהָא מַלְכוּתָךְ וְהַשְׁלְמַֽהּ׃ | 26 |
This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered — God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
| תְּקֵל תְּקִילְתָּ בְמֹֽאזַנְיָא וְהִשְׁתְּכַחַתְּ חַסִּֽיר׃ | 27 |
Weighed — Thou art weighed in the balances, and hast been found lacking.
| פְּרֵס פְּרִיסַת מַלְכוּתָךְ וִיהִיבַת לְמָדַי וּפָרָֽס׃ | 28 |
Divided — Divided is thy kingdom, and it hath been given to the Medes and Persians.'
| בֵּאדַיִן ׀ אֲמַר בֵּלְשַׁאצַּר וְהַלְבִּשׁוּ לְדָֽנִיֵּאל אַרְגְּוָנָא (והמנוכא) [וְהַֽמְנִיכָא] דִֽי־דַהֲבָא עַֽל־צַוְּארֵהּ וְהַכְרִזֽוּ עֲלוֹהִי דִּֽי־לֶהֱוֵא שַׁלִּיט תַּלְתָּא בְּמַלְכוּתָֽא׃ | 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.
| בֵּהּ בְּלֵילְיָא קְטִיל בֵּלְאשַׁצַּר מַלְכָּא (כשדיא) [כַשְׂדָּאָֽה]׃ | 30 |
In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
| וְדָרְיָוֶשׁ (מדיא) [מָֽדָאָה] קַבֵּל מַלְכוּתָא כְּבַר שְׁנִין שִׁתִּין וְתַרְתֵּֽין׃ | 31 |
and Darius the Mede hath received the kingdom, when a son of sixty and two years.
