Daniel 5
1 Sie fong ah, Tokosra Belshazzar el solani sie tausin mwet leum nu ke kufwa se lal, ac elos tukeni nim wain.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his nobles, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Ke elos nimnim ah, Belshazzar el sap in utuku cup ac pol ma orek ke gold ac silver ma Nebuchadnezzar, papa tumal, el tuh usla liki Tempul in Jerusalem. Tokosra el sap utuku ma inge tuh el, mwet wal fulat lal, mutan kial kewa, ac mutan kulansap kial kewa, elos in nimnimkin.
Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.
3 In pacl sacna ahlu ac cup gold uh utuku, ac elos nukewa tukeni nim wain kac
Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
4 ac kaksakin god nukewa lalos ma orekla ke gold, silver, bronze, osra, sak ac oayapa eot.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 In kitin pacl ah na poun mwet se sikyak, ac mutawauk in sim yen ma mosrweyukla ke fasr pesinka in lohm uh, yen ma kalmen lam uh tolak arulana kalem. Ac tokosra el liye ke lac po sac sim ah.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 El arulana sangeng, oru efla mutal ac intwel rarrarak.
Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
7 El wola ac fahk sie mwet in use mwet inutnut, mwet mwenmen, ac mwet lutlut ke ma oan yen engyeng uh. Ke elos tuku, tokosra el fahk nu selos, “Mwet se fin ku in riti ma simla inge ac fahkma kalmac an nu sik, el ac fah nukumyukyang ke nuknuk sroninmutuk lun leum uh, ac wuleang soko ah gold lun mwet wal, ac el ac fah mwet leum se aktolu in tokosrai se inge.”
The king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
8 Mwet pwapa fulat inkul sin tokosra elos fahsryang nu yorol, tusruktu wangin sie selos ku in riti ma simla uh, ku fahkak kalmac uh nu sin tokosra.
Then came in all the king's wise men, but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
9 Na fosrnga lal Tokosra Belshazzar oru el efla yohk liki meet ah, ac mwet lal su wal fulat elos nukanla ma elos in oru.
Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his nobles were confounded.
10 Na Kasra, nina kial tokosra, el lohngak wowon lal tokosra ac mwet wal fulat lal, na el utyak nu yen kufwa uh orek we. El fahk, “Lela in loes moul lun tokosra! Nimet kom arulana fohsak ac efla angan.
— The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet-house. The queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever! let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.
11 Oasr sie mwet in tokosrai lom uh su ngunin god mutal uh oan in el. Ke papa tomom el tuh tokosra, mwet se inge el akkalemye lah el lalkung ac lalmwetmet, ac yohk etauk lal oana etu lun god uh. Ac Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, papa tomom, el akleumyal fin mwet susfa, mwet inutnut, mwet mwenmen, ac mwet lutlut ke ma oan yen engyeng uh nukewa.
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, like the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, [even] the king thy father, made him master of the scribes, magicians, Chaldeans, [and] astrologers;
12 Oasr kain in ku se yorol ma sesa yurin mwet uh, ac el lalmwetmet ac usrnguk in aketeya mweme. El ku pac in akkalemye kas in pupulyuk ac aketeya ma lukma. Ke ma inge kom sapla ac solama mwet se inge, Daniel, su tokosra el tuh sang inel Belteshazzar, ac el ac fah fahkot kalmen ma inge nukewa nu sum.”
forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and solving of problems, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
13 In pacl sacna, utuku Daniel nu ye mutal tokosra, ac tokosra el siyuk sel, “Ya kom pa Daniel se inmasrlon mwet Jew ma tokosra, papa tumuk, el tuh use Judah me nu in sruoh ah?
Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
14 Nga lohng mu ngunin god mutal uh wi kom, ac lah kom usrnguk, lalmwetmet, ac oasr pac etauk lom.
And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and [that] light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
15 Utuku mwet kasru ac mwet inutnut uh elos in tuh riti ma simla inge ac fahkma kalmac uh nu sik, tusruktu elos tia ku in konauk kalmac uh.
And now the wise men, the magicians, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing.
16 Ac oasr pac lohngya sik mu kom ku in konauk kalmen kas in pupulyuk, ac aketeya ma lukma uh. Kom fin ku in riti ma se simla inge, ac fahkma kalmac uh nu sik, ac fah nukumyukyang kom ke nuknuk sroninmutuk lun mwet leum, ac kom fah wuleang soko ah gold, ac kom ac fah mwet leum se aktolu in tokosrai se inge.”
But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and solve problems. Now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
17 Ac Daniel el topkol ac fahk, “Sruokyana mwe kite lom an, ku sang lun sie pacna mwet. Tusruktu nga ac fah riti nu sin tokosra ma simla uh, ac akkalemye kalmac uh.
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet will I read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 “God Fulatlana El oru tuh papa tomom, Nebuchadnezzar, elan sie tokosra na pwengpeng, ac sang ku ac wal fulat nu sel.
O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;
19 Yoklana pwengpeng lal, pwanang mutanfahl nukewa ac kain in kas nukewa elos sangeng ac rarrar sel. El fin lungse uniya sie mwet, na el uniya na; ac el fin lungse mwet se in moulna, el lela in moul. El ac akfulatye, ku aklusrongtenye, kutena mwet oanalungse lal.
and for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he exalted, and whom he would he humbled.
20 Ke sripen fulatak nankal ac likkeke lal, ac sulallal orekma lal nu sin mwet uh, na sisila el liki nien muta fulat lal, ac tila akfulatyeyuk el.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto presumption, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom, and they took his glory from him;
21 Lisyukla el liki inmasrlon mwet uh, ac nunak lal tuh ekla oana nunak lun kosro uh. El tuh muta yurin donkey lemnak, mongo mah oana soko ox, ac motul na inima uh, ac wangin ma afinilya liki aunfong uh. Tok, el akilenak lah pwaye, God Fulatlana El nununku tokosrai nukewa lun mwet uh, ac El ku in eisalosyang nu sin kutena mwet su El lungse sang nu se.
and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the Most High God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
22 “Ac kom, su ma natul, kom ne etu ma inge nukewa a kom tiana akpusiselye nunak lom.
And thou, Belshazzar, his son, hast not humbled thy heart, although thou knewest all this;
23 Kom orekma lain Leum God inkusrao, ac orekmakin cup ac pol ma utuku liki Tempul lal. Kom, ac mwet wal fulat lom, mutan kiom kewa ac mutan kulansap kiom nukewa nim wain kac, ac kaksakin god lowos ma orekla ke gold, silver, bronze, osra, sak ac eot — god inge su tia ku in liye ku lohng, ac tia etu kutena ma. Ac kom tiana akfulatye God su ac ku in wotela lah kom ac misa ku moulna, ac su nununku ma nukewa kom oru uh.
but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of the heavens; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
24 Pa ingan sripa se oru God El supwama lac po sac in tuku simusla kas inge uh.
then from before him was sent the part of the hand, and this writing hath been written.
25 “Pa inge kas ma simla uh: “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.”
And this is the writing that is written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 Ac pa inge kalmac uh: “MENE pa OAKLA — God El oakla pisen len lula ke tokosrai lom uh, na ac safla pa inge.
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it;
27 “TEKEL pa PAUNIYA — pauniyuki kom tari ke mwe paun uh, ac koneyukyak tuh na kom sufalla.
TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting;
28 “PARSIN pa KITALIK — tokosrai lom uh kitakatelik ac itukyang nu sin mwet Mede ac mwet Persia.”
PERES, Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 In pacl sacna Belshazzar el sap mwet kulansap lal in nokmulang Daniel ke nuknuk sroninmutuk lun mwet leum, ac in sripisrya soko ah gold ke kwawal. Na el sang in el pa mwet leum aktolu in tokosrai uh.
Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and [put] a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 In fong sacna, Belshazzar, tokosra lun Babylonia, el anwuki,
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 ac Darius mwet Mede, su yac onngoul luo matwal in pacl sac, el eisla tokosrai sac.
And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, [being] about sixty-two years old.
