Daniela 5
1 Nanao sabadidake jabajaba t’i Belsatsare mpanjaka ho ami’ty arivo’ o roandria’eo vaho ninon-divay añ’atrefa’ i arivoy.
King Belshazzar prepared a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and before these thousand did he drink wine.
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.
Belshazzar ordered, through the counsel of the wine, to bring in the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken away out of the temple which was in Jerusalem: that the king, and his lords, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therefrom.
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 they brought in the golden vessels that were taken away out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his lords, his wives, and his concubines, drank from 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 copper, of iron, 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.
At that same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote opposite to the chandelier upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part 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 color changed, and his thoughts troubled him: so that the bands of his loins were loosed, and his knees knocked 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.
the king called with might to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king commenced, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whatsoever man will read this writing, and tell me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule as the third in the 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 wise men of the king; but they were not able to read the writing, nor to make its interpretation known to the king.
9 Nangonotse amy zao t’i Belsatsare mpanjaka naho niova laharañe, vaho veren-draha o roandria’eo.
Then was king Belshazzar greatly terrified, and his color was changed on him, and his lords were confounded.
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.
[Now] the queen in consequence of the words of the king and of his lords came into the banquet-house; the queen commenced and said, O king, live for ever; let thy thoughts not trouble thee, nor let thy color 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 in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father enlightenment and intelligence and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him: and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father appointed him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers: —yes, thy father, 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.
Forasmuch as a superior spirit, and knowledge, and intelligence, interpreting of dreams, and solving of riddles, and of untying knotty [doubts], were found in him, in Daniel, to whom the king assigned the name of Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, 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 was Daniel brought in before the king: the king commenced and said unto Daniel, Art thou Daniel, who art of the children of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
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.
And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that enlightenment and intelligence and superior 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 astrologers, had been brought before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me its interpretation; but they were not able to tell the interpretation of the matter.
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 truly heard concerning thee, that thou art able to give interpretations, and untie knotty [doubts]: now if thou art able to read the writing, and make known to me its interpretation, thou shalt be clothed with purple, with a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt rule as the third in the 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.
Then answered Daniel and said before the king, Let thy gifts remain in thy possession, and bestow thy bounty on another: nevertheless will I read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 Ry mpanjakao, Natolon’ Añahare Andindimoneñe ao amy Nebokadnetsare rae’o ty fifeheañe naho ty volonahetse, naho ty engeñe vaho ty fikantsoñañe;
O thou king! the most high God gave kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father;
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 because of the greatness that he had given unto him, all people, nations, and languages trembled and shook before him: whom he pleased he slew; and whom he pleased he kept alive; and whom he pleased he lifted up; and whom he pleased he brought low.
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 to deal presumptuously, he was cast down from the throne of his kingdom, and his dignity did they take from him;
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 from the sons of men was he driven forth, and his heart became equal with [that of] the beasts, and with the wild asses was his dwelling; they suffered him to eat herbs like oxen, and with the dew of heaven was his body made wet: till he acknowledged that the most high God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he pleaseth.
22 Fa ihe ry Belsatsare, ana’e, tsy nampireke arofo ndra te hene nifohi’o;
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this;
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 against the Lord of heaven hast thou lifted thyself up; and the vessels of his house have they brought before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them; and the gods of silver, and gold, of copper, iron, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know, hast thou praised; and the God in whose hand thy soul is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
24 Aa le nampañitrifeñe boak’ añatrefa’e ty lela-pitañe, vaho nisokireñe o sokitseo.
Thereupon was sent from before him the part of the hand, and this writing was noted down.
25 Le izao ty sokitse nipatere’e: Mene, Mene, Tekele, Parase.
And this is the writing that was noted down, M'ne, M'ne, T'kel, Upharsin.
26 Inao ty fandrazañañ’aze: Mene: Vinolilin’ Añahare ty fifehea’o vaho nagado’e.
This the interpretation of the matter: M'ne, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and made an end of it.
27 Tekèle: Linanja’ am-pandanjan-drehe vaho nizoeñe te tomotse.
T'kel, Thou least been weighed in the balances, and been found wanting.
28 Parase: fa zinara’ i fifeheañey vaho natolotse amo nte-Maday naho nte-Paraseo.
P'ress; Thy kingdom hath been 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 gave Belshazzar the order, and they clothed Daniel with purple, with a chain of gold about his neck, and they made a proclamation concerning him, that he should rule as the third in the kingdom.
30 Amy haleñey te navetrake i Belsatsare mpanjàka’ o nte-Kasdìo.
In that very night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 Nandrambe i fifeheañey ami’ty tao’e faha-enempolo-ro’amby t’i Dariavese.
And Darius the Median obtained the kingdom, when he was sixty and two years old.
