Taneo 5
1 Hagi mago'a kafuma evutegeno'a, Belsasa'a Babiloni kumatera kinia efore huno maniteno, mago zupa tusi'a ne'za negreno, agri agoragama mani'neza ranra eri'zama eneriza kva vahetamina 1 tauseni'a vahe kehige'za azageno zamagrane waini tina ne'ne.
[Several years later, ] Belshazzar [became the] king [of Babylon. One day] he invited 1,000 of his officers to a big feast, and he drank [a lot of] wine with them.
2 Hagi Belsasa'a waini tima neno neginagima nehuno'a, ko'ma nefa Nebukatnesa'ma Jerusalemi Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti'ma golireti'ene silvareti'ma tro'ma hu'naza kapuramima erino e'nea kapuramina eri'za esazegu huzmante'ne. Na'ankure agrane, agri agoragama eri'zama eneriza vahe'ane, a'nane'ane henkama eri'nea a'nane'ane ana kapuramimpi waini ti nenaku anara hu'ne.
While he was drinking, he commanded [his servants] bring to him the gold and silver cups that the previous king, Nebuchadnezzar, had taken from the temple in Jerusalem. [He did that] because he wanted himself and his officials, his wives, and [even] his (concubines/slave wives) to drink from them, [making fun of the god that we Israelis worshiped].
3 Anagema hige'za Jerusalemia Anumzamofo mono nompinti'ma golireti tro'ma hu kapuramima eri'za e'naza kapuramina ome eri'za azage'za, kini ne'ene, agri agoragama eri'zama eneriza vahe'ane, a'nane'ane, henkama eri'nea a'nanene ana kapuramimpintira waini tina ne'naze.
So his servants brought in [all] those gold cups, that had been taken [many years previously] from the temple of [the true] God in Jerusalem. Then the king and his officials and his wives and his slave wives drank [wine] from those cups.
4 Hagi ana kapuramimpinti'ma waini tima nene'za, golireti'ene, silvareti'ene, bronsireti'ene, ainireti'ene, zafareti'ene, havereti'ma tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzazamimofo zamagi husga hu'naze.
They drank to praise/honor their idols that were made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and [even] wood and stone.
5 Anama nehazageno'a, kini ne'mo'ma kesga huno noma'amofo asarega, tavi'ma rekru'ma hunentaza azotama me'nea tvaonte'ma keana, mago vahe'mofo azamo efore huno avona negregeno ke'ne.
Suddenly they saw a man’s hand writing on the plaster of the wall opposite the lampstand. The king also saw the hand as it was writing.
6 Anama higeno kini nemo'ma negegeno'a, avugosamo'a ruzahe nehigeno, tusi koro hu'ne. Ana nehigeno agiamo'a ahirahi neregeno, zaferina'a omne'amne nehigeno, oti hankavetigara osu'ne.
He became very frightened, and his face became pale/white. His knees started shaking, and his legs became very weak, with the result that he could not stand up.
7 Anama higeno'a kini ne'mo'a ruzahu ruzahu antahi'zama eri'naza vahera kehige'za e'naze. Anante antahi'zane vahe'ma Babiloni kumapinti'ma e'naza vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne. Iza'o ama avoma hamprino antahiteno, ana avomofo agafa'ama eriama huno nasamisnimofona, kini vahe'mo'zama nentaniza koranke zaza kukena antanintegahue. Ana nehu'na golireti trohu seni nofi anankempina antegahue. Ana hanugeno nagrama kegavama hu'noa mopafina nagri namefira nampa 3 kva ne' efore hugahie.
[Then] he shouted to summon the men who worked magic, the men who studied the stars, and the fortune-tellers. He said, “I will [greatly honor] any one of them who can read this writing and tell me what it means. I will give him a purple [robe like I wear because I am the king], and I will put a gold chain around his neck. He will become a very important official in my kingdom; there will be only two others who will be more important than he will be.”
8 Kini ne'mo'a anage hutege'za knare antahi'zane vahe'amo'za efretere hu'za ana avona ke'nazanagi, magomo'e huno ana avona hampriteno, ana avomofo agu'agesa'a eri amara huno asamigara osu'naze.
But when all those wise men came in, none of them could read the writing, or tell him what it meant.
9 Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a kini ne' Belsasana mago'ene avugosamo'a ruzahe nehigeno, tusi koro hu'ne. Ana hige'za agri agoragama eri'zama eneriza vahe'mo'za na'a hugahune nehu'za tusi savri hu'naze.
So King Belshazzar became more afraid. His face became [even] paler/whiter. And [all] his officials [who were there at the feast] did not know what to do.
10 Hianagi kini ne'mofo nerera'ma anazama fore hia zamofo nanekema nentahino'a, ne'zama nenaza nompi ame huno umareri'ne. Ana huteno Belsasana amanage huno ome asami'ne. Za'zate kinia maninka vugahananki, ana zankura antahintahi hakarea nehunka kamanogura osugeno, kavugosamo'a ruzahera osino.
But when the mother of the king (OR, of the previous king) heard the king and his officials talking [loudly about what had happened], she entered the room where they were having the feast. She said [to Belshazzar], “(Your majesty/O King), I hope you will live for a long time! But do not be pale and afraid about this.
11 Ama kegavama hu'nana mopamofo agu'afina mago ne' mani'neankino, ruotage'ma hu'naza anumzaramimofo avamu'mo agripina mani'ne. Ko'ma negafa Nebukatnesa'ma kinima mani'nea knafina, ana ne'mofona anumzaramimofo antahi'zamo'ma hiaza huno, antahintahi zama'amo'ene, knare antahi'zamo'ene ama' antahi'zamo'a agripina avite'nea ne' mani'ne. Hagi negafa Nebukatnesa'a ana nera huhamprintegeno, Babiloni vahe'ma zagoma re'za negaza vahe'ma, ikante zagere'ma ke avame'ma huza nanekema nehaza vahe'ma, zamene vahe'ma, ruzahu ruzahu antahi'zama eri'naza vahetera kegava huzmante'nea ne' mani'ne.
There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. When Nebuchadnezzar was ruling, they discovered that this man understood many things and was wise, just like the gods. The man who was king previously, Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him to be in charge of all the men [in Babylon] who worked magic, the men who worked sorcery, the men who studied the stars, and the fortune-tellers.
12 Hanki ana nera Danielikino, kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a agi'a eri rukrahe huno Belsasa'e huno antemi'ne. Ana ne'mofona ruzahu antahi'zamo'ene ama' antahi'zamo agripina avite'nea nekino, ava'nane kaguvazanena amne agafa'a eriama nehuno, amuhoma hu'nea knazanena erioza nehie. Ana hu'neanki Danielinku hugeno eno anama ke'nana avomofo agafa'a eriama huno kasamino.
That man’s name is Daniel; the king gave him a [new] name, Belteshazzar. He is very intelligent and is able to know and understand many things. He is [even] able to tell the meaning of dreams, and explain riddles, and explain things that are very difficult to understand. Summon him, and he will tell you what [this writing] means.”
13 Anagema hutege'za Danielina ome avre'za kini ne'mofo avuga azageno, kini ne'mo'a antahigeno, kagra Danieligema nehaza ne'ma Juda mopareti'ma nenfa kini ne' Nebukatnesa'ma zamavareno eno kinama huzmantenea vahepinti ne' mani'nampi?
So they [went and] brought me in. The king asked me, “You [must] be Daniel [RHQ]! [They told me that you are] one of those who was brought [here] from Judah by the previous king.
14 Vahe'moza kagriku'ma nasamina zana, ruotage'ma hu'nea anumzaramimofo avamu'mo agrane mani'negeno, antahi ama'ma hu' antahizamo'ene knare antahi'zamo kagripina avite'nea nere hu'za hu'naze.
I have [also] heard that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you are very wise and understand many things.
15 Hagi asaregama krente'nea avomofo agafa'ama eme eri ama huta nasamiho hu'na knare antahi'zane vahe'ene kaguvazama eri fore'ma nehaza vahera kehuge'za e'nazanagi, ana avomofo agu'agesa'a eri amara hu'za onasami'naze.
My wise men and men who work magic have tried to read the writing on this wall and tell me what it means, but they are not able to do it.
16 Hianagi vahe'mo'za kagrikura eme nasami'za, maka zamofo agu'agesa'a eri ama nehunka, amuhoma hu'nesnia zanena eri fru hugahane hu'za hu'naze.

Ana nehu'na huhampri kantesugenka, nagrama kegavama hu'noa mopamofo agu'afina, nagri namefira nampa 3 kvane efore hugahane.
[Someone] told me that you can tell what dreams mean and explain things that are very difficult to understand. If you can read these words and tell me what they mean, [I] give you a purple robe [like I wear because I am the king], and I will put a gold chain around your neck. You will become a very important official in my kingdom; there will be only two others who will be more important than you will be.”
17 Hagi anante Danieli'a kini ne'mofona kenona hunteno, nagri'ma namiku'ma hana muse zantamina kagraka'a erige, vahe zamige huo. Hianagi nagra anama ke'nana avona hamprite'na ana avomofo agu'agesa'a eri ama hu'na kini ne'moka kasamigahue.
I replied, “[I do not want] your gifts; keep them, or give them to someone else. But I will read for you the writing [on the wall], and I will tell you what it means.
18 Hagi kini ne'moka antahio, Marerisa Anumzamo negafa Nebukatnesana huhampri antegeno, hankavenentake kinia efore higeno, agimo'a haru haru huno vuno eno hu'ne.
(Your Majesty/O king), the Supreme God caused the man who was king before you, Nebuchadnezzar, to become a great ruler, who was greatly praised and honored.
19 Hagi Anumzamo'a azerintesga huno ra agi amigeno, ruzahu ruzahu zamavufagane vahe'ma, ru zamageru ru zamageru'ma neru'za kokankokama nemaniza vahe'mo'za, agrikura koro nehu'zma zamahirahiku hu'naze.

Because God caused him to become [very] great, people of many [HYP] people-groups and nations and who spoke many different languages were very much afraid of him. He [commanded his soldiers to] kill those whom he wanted to be killed, and he (spared/allowed to live) those whom he wanted to spare. He honored those whom he wanted to honor, and he caused to be disgraced those whom he wanted to be disgraced.
20 Hianagi negafa'a avufga erisga nehuno, keontahi avu'ava'za higeno, Anumzamo'a kini tra'aretira avre atregeno, ragima e'neria zamo'a omanene.
But when he became very proud and stubborn [IDM], he was removed from being king [MTY]. People did not consider him to be glorious/great any more.
21 Anumzamo'a vahe antahintahia eritreno afi zaga kfamofo antahintahi nemino, avre atregeno vahe'enena omanino vuno afi donki afutamine umani'neno, bulimakao afu'mozama nehazaza huno trazana neneno mani'negeno kenage'ma ru'nea ata ko'mo'a aseni azokapina runtetere nehigeno, agrama keno antahino'ma hiana Marerisa Anumzamo maka ama mopafi vahera agrake kegava hu'neno, izano avesinte'mofo huhamparintegeno kinia nemanie huno antahi'ne.
[His officials] sent him away in order that he would not be near [other] people. [God] caused him to have a mind like animals have. He lived among the wild donkeys. He ate grass like cows do, and dew from the sky caused his body to be damp/wet [each morning]. [He was like that] until he learned that the Supreme God is [really the one who] rules the kingdoms of this world, and that he appoints whomever he chooses to rule those kingdoms.
22 Hianagi kagra agri mofavre Belsasaga ama ana zamofona ko kenka antahinka hu'nane. Hianagi kagra kavufga anteraminka omani'nane.
Now, Belshazzar, you have become the king. You [also] knew all those things, but you have not made yourself humble.
23 Ana nehunka kagrama musema hanazamo higenka, monama kegavama hu'nea Anumzamofo agi'a eri haviza nehunka, huzmantanke'za vu'za mono noma'afinti'ma eri'za e'naza kapua ome eri'za azagenka, kagri agoragama eri'zama eneri'za vaheka'ane a'naneraminka'ane, henka a'neraminka'ane ana kapufina waini tina ne'naze.

Hianagi kasimu'ma negamino, maka zama nehana zama kegava nehia Anumzamofo agia husga huonte'nane.
You have considered yourself to be greater than [God], the Lord of heaven. [So you have commanded your servants to] bring to you these sacred cups, [which were dedicated to the Supreme God, and which were taken] from his temple [in Jerusalem]. You and your officials and your wives and your (concubines/slave wives) have been drinking wine from these cups, while you have been praising [your own] gods—gods which are made of gold and silver and bronze and iron and wood and stone. [Those are gods] that cannot see, that cannot hear, and that do not know anything! You have not honored the God who gives you breath and who controls everything that happens to you.
24 Ana hu'negu Anumzamo'a huntegeno mago vahe'mofo azamo eno ama ana avona asarega eme kregenka ke'nane.
So God sent that hand to write a message [for you].
25 Hagi amanahu avonkrente'negenka ke'nane, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.
This is the message that it wrote: ‘Mene, mene, tekel, parsin.’
26 Hanki anama krente'nea kemofo agu'agesamo'a amanahu hu'ne. MENEMA hu'neana, hago hampari'ne hu'neankino, nama'a knama kinima manisnana kna hago Anumzamo'a hampri atupa hu'neankino menina vagare knaka'e.
This is what those words mean: Mene [means] ‘numbered/counted’. [That means that] God has been counting the days that you will rule, and he has [now] decided that you will not rule any more.
27 TEKELIEMA huno krente'nea kemofo agu'agesamo'a, Maka kavukvara sigerire erinteno rezaganeno keana, kagri kavukvamo'a knare osigenka kinima maniga avamentera omani'nane.
Tekel [means ‘weighed’. It is as though God] has weighed you on a scale, and you do not weigh what you should, [which means that you have not been doing what you should; you are not fit to be a king] [MET].
28 PARSINIEMA huno krente'nea kemofo agu'agesa'amo'a, Amu'nompinti refko hu'ne huno krente'ne. Ana hu'neankino Anumzamo'a kagrama kegava hu'nana mopa ko refko huno, mago kaziga mopa Midia vahe nezamino, mago kaziga mopa Pesia vahe zami'ne hu'ne.
Parsin [means ‘divided’. That means that God] has divided your kingdom. Some of it will be ruled by people from Media and some will be ruled by people from Persia.”
29 Hagi anankema kini ne' Belsasa'ma antahiteno'a, huzmantege'za kema hu'nea kante ante'za, kini vahe'mo'zama nentaniza fitunke kukena eri hankrenente'za, golireti tro hu'naza seni nofi anankempina ante'nentazageno, Belsasa'a Danielinkura huama huno anage hu'ne, nagri namefira nampa 3 kva ne' menina efore hie.
Then Belshazzar [did what he had promised]. He put on me a purple robe [like the one he himself wore. He] put a gold chain around my neck. And he proclaimed that there would be only two others who would be more important than me in his kingdom.
30 Hianagi ana kenagera Midia sondia vahe'mo'za ran kumapi efre'za Babiloni kini ne' Belsasana ahe fri'naze.
But that same night [soldiers from Media entered the city and] killed Belshazzar, the King of Babylonia.
31 Ana hutazageno Midia mopareti ne' Dariusi'ma 62'a kafu nehuno, agafa huno Babiloni moparera kinia manino kegava hu'ne.
Darius, the King of Media, became the King [of Babylonia] when he was 62 years old.
