Daaniʼel 5
1 Beelshaazaar mootichi qondaaltota isaa kuma tokkoof dhangaa guddaa qopheessee fuula isaanii duratti daadhii wayinii dhuge.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Beelshaazaaris utuu daadhii wayinii dhugaa jiruu akka innii fi qondaaltonni isaa, niitonnii fi saajjatoowwan isaa ittiin dhuganiif akka isaan xoofoo warqeetii fi meetii kan abbaan isaa Nebukadnezar mana qulqullummaa Yerusaalemii fide sana fidan ajaje.
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 Kanaafuu isaan xoofoo warqee kan mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kan Yerusaalemii fudhataman sana fidan; mootichi, qondaaltonni, niitonnii fi saajjatoowwan isaa ittiin dhugan.
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 Isaan utuma daadhii wayinii sana dhugaa jiranuu, waaqota warqeetii fi meetii, kan naasiitii fi sibiilaa, kan mukaatii fi dhagaa galateeffatan.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Akkuma tasaa qubni harka namaa mulʼatee keenyan manaa kan masaraa mootii keessa baattuu ibsaa bira jiru irratti barreesse. Mootichis harka sana utuu inni barreessuu arge.
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 Fuulli mootichaa ni geeddaramee; innis sodaadhaan guutamee jilbii isaa hollatee waldhaʼe; miilli isaas ni laafe.
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 Mootichis sagalee isaa ol fuudhee akka mortoota, warra urjii ilaalanii fi ilaaltota ol isaaf galchan ajaje. Ogeeyyii Baabiloniinis akkana jedhe; “Nama katabbii kana dubbisee hiikkaa isaa natti himu kamitti iyyuu uffanni diimaan dhiilgeen uffifamee morma isaatti faayi warqee ni kaaʼamaaf; mootummaa koo keessattis bulchaa ol aanaa sadaffaa taʼa.”
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 Ergasiis ogeeyyiin mootichaa hundi ol seenan; isaan keessaa garuu namni katabbii sana dubbisuu yookaan hiikkaa isaa mootichatti himuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin argamne.
Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and could not make known to the king the interpretation.
9 Kana irratti Beelshaazaar mootichi kan duraa caalaa sodaatee fuulli isaa geeddarame; qondaaltonni isaas waan godhan wallaalan.
Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
10 Mootittiinis waca mootichaatii fi qondaaltota isaa dhageessee galma cidha sanaa ol seente. Isheenis akkana jette; “Yaa mootii, bara baraan jiraadhu! Hin rifatin; fuulli kees hin geeddaramin!
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; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.
11 Mootummaa kee keessa namichi hafuurri waaqota qulqullootaa keessa jiru tokko jira. Namichi kun bara abbaa keetii keessa nama hubannaa, beekumsaa fi ogummaa akkuma waaqotaa qabu taʼee argame. Abbaan kee Nebukadnezar Mootichi, itti gaafatamaa tolchitootaa, mortootaa, kan warra urjii ilaalaniitii fi ilaaltotaa godhee isa muudee ture.
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 Daaniʼel namichi mootichi Beelxishaazaari jedhee waamu kun nama hafuurri gaariin, beekumsii fi hubannaan keessa jiru taʼee argame; innis abjuu, hibboo fi rakkoo hiikuuf dandeettii addaa qaba ture. Daaniʼelin waami; innis hiikkaa katabbii kanaa sitti himaatii.”
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 Kanaafuu Daaniʼel fuula mootichaa duratti dhiʼeeffame; mootichis akkana jedheen; “Warra abbaan koo mootichi boojiʼee Yihuudaadhaa fide keessaa kan Daaniʼel jedhamu siʼii?
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 Ani akka hafuurri waaqotaa si keessa jiruu fi akka ati hubannaa, beekumsaa fi ogummaa addaa qabdu dhagaʼeera.
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 Ogeeyyiinii fi mortoonni akka katabbii kana dubbisanii hiikkaa isaa natti himaniif fuula koo duratti fidamanii turan; isaan garuu ibsuu hin dandeenye.
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 Ani akka ati hiikkaa kennitee rakkoofis fala kennuu dandeessu dhagaʼeera. Yoo ati katabbii kana dubbiftee hiikkaa isaa natti himuu dandeesse, uffata diimaa dhiilgeetu sitti uffifama; faayi warqees morma keetti siif kaaʼama; mootummaa koo keessattis bulchaa ol aanaa sadaffaa taata.”
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 Kana irratti Daaniʼel deebisee mootichaan akkana jedhe; “Kennaan kee sumaaf haa hafu; badhaasni kee immoo nama biraatiif haa kennamu. Taʼu iyyuu ani katabbicha dubbisee hiikkaa isaa mootichatti nan hima.
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 “Yaa mootii, Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii abbaa kee Nebukadnezariif surraa fi guddina, ulfinaa fi kabaja kenne.
“To you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
19 Sababii ol aantummaa inni isaaf kenneef saboonnii fi mootummoonni hundi, namoonni afaan garaa garaa dubbatan ni hollataniif; isa sodaatanis. Mootichis warra ajjeesuu barbaade ni ajjeesa; warra oolchuu barbaade ni oolcha, kan muuduu barbaade ni muuda, kan salphisuu barbaades ni salphisa ture.
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 Gaafa garaan isaa of tuulee mataa jabaatetti garuu inni teessoo isaa irraa kaafamee ulfinni isaas isa irraa fudhatame.
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 Inni uummata keessaa ariʼamee qalbiin horii kennameef; harroota diidaa wajjin jiraatee akka loonii marga nyaate; inni hamma akka Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii mootummoota namootaa irratti bulchaa taʼee fi akka inni abbaa fedhe isaan irratti muudu beekutti dhagni isaa fixeensa samiitiin jiidhe.
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 “Yaa Beelshaazaar, ati ilmi isaa utuma waan kana hunda beektuu mataa kee gad hin qabanne.
“You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
23 Qooda kanaa ati Gooftaa samii irratti mataa ol qabatte. Ati xoofoowwan mana qulqullummaa isaatii fichisiiftee atii fi qondaaltonni kee, niitonnii fi saajjatoowwan kee isaan keessaa dhugdan. Ati waaqota meetii, warqee, naasii, sibiilaa, mukaatii fi kan dhagaa kanneen arguu yookaan dhagaʼuu yookaan hubachuu hin dandeenye jajatte. Waaqa lubbuu keetii fi karaa kee hunda harka isaatti qabatee jiru garuu hin ulfeessine.
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 do not 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 Kanaafuu inni harka katabbii sana barreesse erge.
Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
25 “Katabbiin barreeffamee tures kana: Maanee, Maanee, Teeqeel, Faares.
“This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
26 “Hiikkaan isaas kana: “Maanee jechuun Waaqni bara kee murteessee gara dhumaatti fide jechuu dha.
“This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
27 “Teeqeel jechuun ati madaalliidhaan madaalamtee salphattee argamte jechuu dha.
TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28 “Faares jechuun mootummaan kee qoodamee namoota Meedeetii fi Faaresiitiif kenname jechuu dha.”
PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
29 Ergasii ajaja Beelshaazaariin Daaniʼelitti uffata diimaa dhiilgee uffisan; morma isaattis faaya warqee kaaʼaniif; mootummaa sana irrattis bulchaa ol aanaa sadaffaa taʼee muudame.
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 Halkanuma sana Beelshaazaar mootiin Baabilonotaa ajjeefame;
In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
31 Daariyoos namichi Meedee umurii isaa jaatamii lammaffaatti mootummaa sana fudhate.
Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
