Daniela 5
1 Nanao sabadidake jabajaba t’i Belsatsare mpanjaka ho ami’ty arivo’ o roandria’eo vaho ninon-divay añ’atrefa’ i arivoy.
Baltasar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles: and every one drank according to his age.
2 Naho nitsopek’ i divaiy t’i Belsatsare, le linili’e te hasese ama’e o fanake volamena naho volafoty nendesen-drae’e Nebokadnetsare boak’ amy kivohon’ Añahare e Ierosalaime añeio, hikamà’ o roandria’eo naho o vali’eo vaho o sakeza’eo.
And being now drunk he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.
3 Aa le nasese mb’eo o fanake nendeseñe boak’ an-kivohon’ anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosalaime añeo naho nikama ama’e i mpanjakay naho o roandria’eo naho o vali’eo vaho o sakeza’eo.
Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
4 Ie nigenoke divay naho nandrenge o ‘ndrahare volamena naho volafoty, torisìke naho viñe vaho vatoo,
They drank wine, and praised their gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
5 le nisodehañe eo amy zao ty rambo-pità’ ondaty, nanokitse aolo’ ty fitam-pailo amy pako’ i rindriñe añ’ anjombam-panjakay vaho niisa’ i mpanjakay ty ila’ i fitañe nanokitsey.
In the same hour there appeared fingers, as it were of the hand of a man, writing over against the candlestick upon the surface of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king beheld the joints of the hand that wrote.
6 Nikòfoty amy zao i mpanjakay naho nitsobore aze i fitsakorea’ey, nibalake ka ty kitambe an-toha’eo, vaho nifamango o ongo’eo.
Then was the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him: and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one against the other.
7 Nikoik’ amy zao i mpanjakay t’ie haneseañe ambiasa naho nte-Kasdý vaho mpitoky. Nisaontsy amo mahihi’ o Baveleo i mpanjakay ami’ty hoe: Ze mahavaky ty sokitse tiañe naho hanoro ahy i fandrazaña’ey, le ho sikinañe malò-mavo naho ho ravaheñe silisily volamena ty fititia’e, vaho ho mpifehe ty faha-telo’ ty fifeheañe toy.
And the king cried out aloud to bring in the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon: Whosoever shall read this writing, and shall make known to me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and shall have a golden chain on his neck, and shall be the third man in my kingdom.
8 Songa niheo mb’eo ondaty mahihi’ i mpanjakaio, fe tsy nahavaky i sokitsey, tsy nahabentatse i fandrazaña’ey amy mpanjakay.
Then came in all the king’s wise men, but they could neither read the writing, nor declare the interpretation to the king.
9 Nangonotse amy zao t’i Belsatsare mpanjaka naho niova laharañe, vaho veren-draha o roandria’eo.
Wherewith king Baltasar was much troubled, and his countenance was changed: and his nobles also were troubled.
10 Ie amy saontsi’ i mpanjakay naho o roandria’eoy le nimoak’ amy efe-tsabadidakey ty vali’ i mpanjakay, le hoe ty enta’ i vali’ey, Ry mpanjaka, lava-havelo: ko ado’o hitsobore azo o vetsevetse’oo, ndra hikomavo o lahara’oo.
Then the queen, on occasion of what had happened to the king, and his nobles, came into the banquet house: and she spoke and said: O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.
11 Am-pifehea’o ao t’indaty, le ama’e ty Arofon’ Añahare Masiñe; ie fahan-drae’o ty nitendrehañe hazavàñe, hilala naho hihitse; vaho manahake ty hilalan’ Añahare ty nizoeñe ama’e; ie ty nanoe’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka, rae’o, i rae’o mpanjakay, roandria ambone’ ze hene ambiasa naho mpañandro naho nte-Kasdy vaho mpitoky,
There is a man in thy kingdom that hath the spirit of the holy gods in him: and in the days of thy father knowledge and wisdom were found in him: for king Nabuchodonosor thy father appointed him prince of the wise men, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, thy father, I say, O king:
12 amy te nioniñe amy Daniele, i natao’ i mpanjakay Belsatsarey, ty arofo loho ambone, ty hilala mitiotiotse; rendre’e iaby ty nofy naho ty fandrazañañe naho ty fampiborahañe ze raha mietake, vaho ty fandevoñañe hakahaka. Aa le ampikanjio t’i Daniele, hanoro i fandrazaña’ey.
Because a greater spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and shewing of secrets, and resolving of difficult things, were found in him, that is, in Daniel: whom the king named Baltassar. Now therefore let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation.
13 Aa le nasese añ’ atrefa’ i mpanjakay t’i Daniele naho hoe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay amy Daniele: Ihe hao i Daniele anam-pirohi’ Iehodà nendesen-draeko boake Iehodày?
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke, and said to him: Art thou Daniel of the children of the captivity of Juda, whom my father the king brought out of Judea?
14 Fa tsinanoko ty ama’o, te ama’o ty Arofon’ Añahare Masiñe, naho te nizoeñe ama’o ty hazavàñe naho ty faharendrehañe vaho ty hihitse ambone.
I have heard of thee, that thou hast the spirit of the gods, and excellent knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom are found in thee.
15 Ie henaneo fa nasese amako o mahihitseo, naho o mpañandroo hamaky o sokitseo hampahafohiñe ahy ty fandrazaña’e, fe tsy naboa’ iareo amako ty famentabentarañ’ aze.
And now the wise men the magicians have come in before me, to read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof: and they could not declare to me the meaning of this writing.
16 Aa le tsinanoko ty ama’o, te mahafitaroñe ty mietake, vaho mahafibalake ty sarotse; aa ie mahavaky i sokitsey naho mahaborake i fandrazaña’ey amako, le hasaroñe malò-mavo, naho ho ravaheñe silisily volamena i fititia’o, vaho ho mpifehe faha-telo’ ty fifeheañe toy.
But I have heard of thee, that thou canst interpret obscure things, and resolve difficult things: now if thou art able to read the writing, and to shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third prince in my kingdom.
17 Hoe ty natoi’ i Daniele añatrefa’ i mpanjakay, Tano ama’o o tambeo naho atoloro ami’ty ila’e o ravoravoo fe ho vakieko ama’o o sokitseo, ry mpanjaka, vaho ho razañeko ama’o.
To which Daniel made answer, and said before the king: Thy rewards be to thyself, and the gifts of thy house give to another: but the writing I will read to thee, O king, and shew thee the interpretation thereof.
18 Ry mpanjakao, Natolon’ Añahare Andindimoneñe ao amy Nebokadnetsare rae’o ty fifeheañe naho ty volonahetse, naho ty engeñe vaho ty fikantsoñañe;
O king, the most high God gave to Nabuchodonosor thy father a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour.
19 le amy volonahetse natolotse azey ty nampañeveñe naho nampihondrahondra ze kilakila ondaty naho fifeheañe naho fameleke añatrefa’e; le navetra’e ze satri’e, naho nitana’e ho veloñe ze satri’e, le naonjo’e ze satri’e, vaho nafotsa’e ze satri’e.
And for the greatness that he gave to him, all people, tribes, and languages trembled, and were afraid of him: whom he would, he slew: and whom he would, he destroyed: and whom he would, he set up: and whom he would, he brought down.
20 F’ie nitoabotse ty arofo’e naho nihagàñe am-pirengevohañe ty tro’e, vaho nitoloñe an-kavokavoke, le nafotsak’ amy fiambesam-pifehea’ey vaho nasintak’ ama’e ty enge’e
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto pride, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory was taken away.
21 le rinoake boak’ amo ana’ ondatio naho nampindrezeñe amo bibio ty arofo’e, naho amo borike li-io ty akiba’e; nampikaman’ aze ty ahetse hoe añombe, naho nampandroe’ i zonon-dikerañey ty fañova’e ampara’ te nifohi’e te felehen’ Añahare o fifehea’ ondatio vaho ampijadoñe’e ho mpifehe ze satri’e.
And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him.
22 Fa ihe ry Belsatsare, ana’e, tsy nampireke arofo ndra te hene nifohi’o;
Thou also his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thy heart, whereas thou knewest all these things:
23 te mone nitroatse hiatreatre i Talèn-dikerañey naho nasese añatrefa’o eo o fana’ i anjomba’eio naho songa ninon-divay ama’e irehe naho o roandria’oo, o vali’oo naho o sakeza’oo; le nirengè’o o ‘ndrahare volamena naho volafoty, an-torisìke, hatae naho vato, ze tsy mahatrea, tsy mahatsanoñe. tsy maharendrekeo, vaho mbe lia’e tsy niasia’o t’i Andrianañahare, ie hene am-pità’e ao ty fiai’o naho o fitoloña’oo.
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 nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified.
24 Aa le nampañitrifeñe boak’ añatrefa’e ty lela-pitañe, vaho nisokireñe o sokitseo.
Wherefore he hath sent the part of the hand which hath written this that is set down.
25 Le izao ty sokitse nipatere’e: Mene, Mene, Tekele, Parase.
And this is the writing that is written: MANE, THECEL, PHARES.
26 Inao ty fandrazañañ’aze: Mene: Vinolilin’ Añahare ty fifehea’o vaho nagado’e.
And this is the interpretation of the word. MANE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
27 Tekèle: Linanja’ am-pandanjan-drehe vaho nizoeñe te tomotse.
THECEL: thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting.
28 Parase: fa zinara’ i fifeheañey vaho natolotse amo nte-Maday naho nte-Paraseo.
PHARES: thy kingdom is divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Aa le namantoke t’i Belsatsare, vaho nisikina’ iareo malò-mavo t’i Daniele, naho niravaheñe silisily volamena ty am-pititia’e eo, vaho nitsey ty ama’e t’ie ro mpifehe faha-telo’ i fifeheañey.
Then by the king’s command Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom.
30 Amy haleñey te navetrake i Belsatsare mpanjàka’ o nte-Kasdìo.
The same night Baltasar the Chaldean king was slain.
31 Nandrambe i fifeheañey ami’ty tao’e faha-enempolo-ro’amby t’i Dariavese.
And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being threescore and two years old.
