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 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 that the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem be brought to him, that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink from 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 God’s house which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from 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 bronze, 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, the fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote near the lamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace. The king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 El arulana sangeng, oru efla mutal ac intwel rarrarak.
Then the king’s face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck 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 enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and shows me its interpretation 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 all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and couldn’t 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 King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
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 lords came into the banquet house. The queen spoke and said, “O king, live forever; don’t let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face 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 your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king, Nebuchadnezzar, your father—yes, the king, your father—made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers,
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.”
because an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts were found in the same 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 Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Are you 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.
I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are found in you.
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.
Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show 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 you, that you can give interpretations and dissolve doubts. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall 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 before the king, “Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will 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.
“To you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your 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.
Because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he wanted to, and he kept alive whom he wanted to. He raised up whom he wanted to, and he put down whom he wanted to.
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 was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, 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.
He was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
22 “Ac kom, su ma natul, kom ne etu ma inge nukewa a kom tiana akpusiselye nunak lom.
“You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew 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 have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.
24 Pa ingan sripa se oru God El supwama lac po sac in tuku simusla kas inge uh.
Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
25 “Pa inge kas ma simla uh: “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.”
“This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘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 has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
27 “TEKEL pa PAUNIYA — pauniyuki kom tari ke mwe paun uh, ac koneyukyak tuh na kom sufalla.
TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28 “PARSIN pa KITALIK — tokosrai lom uh kitakatelik ac itukyang nu sin mwet Mede ac mwet Persia.”
PERES: your 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 Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
31 ac Darius mwet Mede, su yac onngoul luo matwal in pacl sac, el eisla tokosrai sac.
Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
