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 gave a great feast to his thousands lords, 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 which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple at Jerusalem; that the king and his princes, his wives and his concubines, might drink therein.
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 at Jerusalem; and the king and his princes, 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 chandelier upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace; and the king saw 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, so that the joints of his loins were loosened, and his knees smote one against the other.
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 Chaldaeans, and the astrologers. And the king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule as the third 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 all the king's wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king its signification.
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 in great consternation, and his countenance was changed, and his lords were amazed.
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.
Then the queen, on account of this affair of the king and his lords, came into the banquet-house; and the queen spake and said, O king, live forever! Let not thy thoughts terrify thee, nor 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, were found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar, thy father, made him chief of the scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers, thy father, O king!
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 to interpret dreams, and to explain hard sentences, and solve difficult questions were found in him, in Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar; now let Daniel be called, and he will show 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. And the king spake and said to Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, of the captives of Judah, whom the king, my father, brought out of Judaea?
14 Nga lohng mu ngunin god mutal uh wi kom, ac lah kom usrnguk, lalmwetmet, ac oasr pac etauk lom.
I have heard concerning thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are 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 and the magicians have been brought in before me, that they might read this writing, and make known to me its signification; but they could not show the signification 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 difficult questions. Now if thou canst read the writing and make known to me its signification, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt rule as the third 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 answered Daniel and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another: yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the signification.
18 “God Fulatlana El oru tuh papa tomom, Nebuchadnezzar, elan sie tokosra na pwengpeng, ac sang ku ac wal fulat nu sel.
O king, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, thy father, a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honor.
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 by reason of the majesty which he gave him, all people, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him; whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; whom he would he set up, and whom he would he put down.
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 in pride, he was thrust down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken 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 became like the beasts, and his dwelling was with wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the Most High God ruled in the kingdoms of men, and set up over them whomsoever he would.
22 “Ac kom, su ma natul, kom ne etu ma inge nukewa a kom tiana akpusiselye nunak lom.
And thou, his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though 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 thyself up against the Lord of heaven; and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee, and thou, and thy lords, 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 is thy breath, and whose are all thy ways, thou hast not honored.
24 Pa ingan sripa se oru God El supwama lac po sac in tuku simusla kas inge uh.
Then was sent from him the hand, and this writing was written.
25 “Pa inge kas ma simla uh: “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.”
And this is the writing which was written: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and To be Divided.
26 Ac pa inge kalmac uh: “MENE pa OAKLA — God El oakla pisen len lula ke tokosrai lom uh, na ac safla pa inge.
And this is the interpretation of it. Numbered: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and made an end of it.
27 “TEKEL pa PAUNIYA — pauniyuki kom tari ke mwe paun uh, ac koneyukyak tuh na kom sufalla.
Weighed: Thou art weighed in the balances, and found wanting.
28 “PARSIN pa KITALIK — tokosrai lom uh kitakatelik ac itukyang nu sin mwet Mede ac mwet Persia.”
Divided: 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 a proclamation concerning him that he should be third ruler in the kingdom.
30 In fong sacna, Belshazzar, tokosra lun Babylonia, el anwuki,
In the same night was Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, slain;
31 ac Darius mwet Mede, su yac onngoul luo matwal in pacl sac, el eisla tokosrai sac.
and Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
