Daniel 5
1 O rei Belshazzar deu um grande banquete aos seus mil grandes, e bebeu vinho na presença dos mil.
Baltasar the king made a great supper for his thousand nobles, and [there was] wine before the thousand.
2 Havendo Belshazzar provado o vinho, mandou trazer os vasos de oiro e de prata, que Nabucodonozor, seu pae, tinha tirado do templo que estava em Jerusalem, para que bebessem por elles o rei, e os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas.
And Baltasar drinking gave orders as he tasted the wine that they should bring the gold and silver vessels, which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought forth from the temple in Jerusalem; that the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, should drink out of them.
3 Então trouxeram os vasos de oiro, que foram tirados do templo da casa de Deus, que estava em Jerusalem, e beberam por elles o rei, os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas.
So the gold and silver vessels were brought which [Nabuchodonosor] had taken out of the temple of God in Jerusalem; and the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, drank out of them.
4 Beberam o vinho, e deram louvores aos deuses de oiro, e de prata, de cobre, de ferro, de madeira, e de pedra.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
5 Na mesma hora sahiam uns dedos de mão de homem, e escreviam, defronte do castiçal, na caiadura da parede do palacio real; e o rei via a parte da mão que estava escrevendo.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote in front of the lamp on the plaster of the wall of the king’s house: and the king saw the knuckles of the hand that wrote.
6 Então se mudou o semblante do rei, e os seus pensamentos o turbaram: as juntas dos seus lombos se relaxaram, e os seus joelhos bateram um no outro.
Then the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one another.
7 E clamou o rei com força, que se introduzissem os astrologos, os chaldeos e os adivinhadores: e fallou o rei, e disse aos sabios de Babylonia: Qualquer que ler esta escriptura, e me declarar a sua interpretação, será vestido da purpura, e trará uma cadeia de oiro ao pescoço, e será, no reino, o terceiro dominador.
And the king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers; and he said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation, shall be clothed with scarlet, and [there shall be] a golden chain upon his neck, and he shall be the third ruler in my kingdom.
8 Então entraram todos os sabios do rei; mas não poderam ler a escriptura, nem fazer saber ao rei a sua interpretação.
Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known the interpretation to the king.
9 Então o rei Belshazzar perturbou-se muito, e mudou-se n'elle o seu semblante; e os seus grandes estavam sobresaltados.
And king Baltasar was troubled, and his countenance changed upon him, and his nobles were troubled with him.
10 A rainha, pois, por causa das palavras do rei e dos seus grandes, entrou na casa do banquete: e fallou a rainha, e disse: Ó rei, vive para sempre! não te turbem os teus pensamentos, nem se mude o teu semblante.
Then the queen came into the banquet house, and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, and let not thy countenance be changed.
11 Ha um homem no teu reino, no qual ha o espirito dos deuses sanctos; e nos dias de teu pae se achou n'elle luz, e intelligencia, e sabedoria, como a sabedoria dos deuses; e teu pae, o rei Nabucodonozor, teu pae, ó rei, o constituiu chefe dos magos, dos astrologos, dos chaldeos, e dos adivinhadores;
There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the Spirit of God; and in the days of thy father watchfulness and understanding were found in him; and king Nabuchodonosor thy father made him chief of the enchanters, magicians, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers.
12 Porquanto se achou n'este Daniel um espirito excellente, e sciencia e entendimento, interpretando sonhos, e declarando enigmas, e solvendo duvidas, ao qual rei poz o nome de Belteshazzar: chame-se pois agora Daniel, e elle declarará a interpretação.
For [there is] an excellent spirit in him, and sense and understanding are in him, interpreting dreams [as he does], and answering hard [questions], and solving difficulties: [it is] Daniel, and the king gave him the name of Baltasar: now then let him be called, and he shall tell thee the interpretation of the writing.
13 Então Daniel foi introduzido á presença do rei. Fallou o rei, e disse a Daniel: És tu aquelle Daniel, dos captivos de Judah, que o rei, meu pae, trouxe de Judah?
Then Daniel was brought in before the king: and the king said to Daniel, Art thou Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judea, which the king my father brought?
14 Porque tenho ouvido dizer a teu respeito que o espirito dos deuses está em ti, e que a luz, e o entendimento e a excellente sabedoria se acham em ti.
I have heard concerning thee, that the Spirit of God is in thee, and [that] watchfulness and understanding and excellent wisdom have been found in thee.
15 E agora foram introduzidos á minha presença os sabios e os astrologos, para lerem esta escriptura, e me fazerem saber a sua interpretação; mas não poderam declarar a interpretação d'estas palavras.
And now the wise men, magicians, [and] soothsayers have come in before me, to read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation: but they could not tell it me.
16 Eu porém tenho ouvido dizer de ti que podes dar interpretações e solver duvidas: agora, se poderes ler esta escriptura, e fazer-me saber a sua interpretação, serás vestido de purpura, e terás cadeia de oiro ao pescoço, e no reino serás o terceiro dominador.
And I have heard concerning thee, that thou art able to make interpretations: now then if thou shalt be able to read the writing, and to make known to me the interpretation of it, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and there shall be a golden chain upon thy neck, and thou shalt be third ruler in my kingdom.
17 Então respondeu Daniel, e disse na presença do rei: Os teus dons fiquem comtigo, e dá os teus presentes a outro; comtudo lerei ao rei a escriptura, e lhe farei saber a interpretação.
And Daniel said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give the present of thine house to another; but I will read the writing, and will make known to thee the interpretation of it.
18 Quanto a ti, ó rei! Deus, o Altissimo, deu a Nabucodonozor, teu pae, o reino, e a grandeza, e a gloria, e a magnificencia.
O king, the most high God gave to thy father Nabuchodonosor a kingdom, and majesty, and honour, and glory:
19 E por causa da grandeza, que lhe deu, todos os povos, nações e linguas tremiam e temiam diante d'elle: a quem queria matava, e a quem queria dava a vida; e a quem queria engrandecia, e a quem queria abatia.
and by reason of the majesty which he gave to him, all nations, tribes [and] languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he smote; and whom he would he exalted; and whom he would he abased.
20 Mas quando o seu coração se exalçou, e o seu espirito se endureceu em soberba, foi derribado do seu throno real, e passou d'elle a sua gloria.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was emboldened to act proudly, he was deposed from his royal throne, and [his] honour was taken from him.
21 E foi lançado d'entre os filhos dos homens, e o seu coração foi feito similhante ao das bestas, e a sua morada foi com os jumentos montezes; fizeram-n'o comer a herva como os bois, e do orvalho do céu foi molhado o seu corpo, até que conheceu que Deus, o Altissimo, domina sobre os reinos dos homens, e a quem quer constitue sobre elles.
And he was driven forth from men; and his heart was given him after the nature of wild beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; and they fed him with grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the most high God is Lord of the kingdom of men, and will give it to whomsoever he shall please.
22 E tu, seu filho Belshazzar, não humilhaste o teu coração, ainda que soubeste tudo isto.
And thou accordingly, his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thine heart before God: knowest thou not all this?
23 E te levantaste contra o Senhor do céu, pois trouxeram os vasos da casa d'elle perante ti, e tu, os teus grandes, as tuas mulheres e as tuas concubinas, bebestes vinho por elles; de mais d'isto, déste louvores aos deuses de prata, de oiro, de cobre, de ferro, de madeira e de pedra, que nem vêem, nem ouvem, nem sabem; mas a Deus, em cuja mão está a tua vida, e todos os teus caminhos, a elle não glorificaste.
And thou hast been exalted against the Lord God of heaven; and they have brought before thee the vessels of his house, and thou, and thy nobles, and thy mistresses, and thy concubines, have drunk wine out of them; and thou hast praised the gods of gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and wood, and stone, which see not, and which hear not, and know not: and the God in whose hand are thy breath and all thy ways hast thou not glorified.
24 Então d'elle foi enviada aquella parte da mão, e escreveu-se esta escriptura.
Therefore from his presence has been sent forth the knuckle of a hand; and he has ordered this writing.
25 Esta pois é a escriptura que se escreveu: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
And this is the ordered writing, Mane, Thekel, Phares.
26 Esta é a interpretação d'aquillo: Mene: Contou Deus o teu reino, e o acabou.
This is the interpretation of the sentence: Mane; God has measured thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 Tekel: Pesado foste na balança, e foste achado em falta.
Thekel; it has been weighed in the balance, and found wanting.
28 Peres: Dividido foi o teu reino, e deu-se aos medos e aos persas.
Phares; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Então mandou Belshazzar que vestissem a Daniel de purpura, e que lhe pozessem uma cadeia de oiro ao pescoço, e proclamassem a respeito d'elle que havia de ser o terceiro dominador do reino.
Then Baltasar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put the golden chain about his neck, and proclaimed concerning him that he was the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 Mas na mesma noite foi morto Belshazzar, rei dos chaldeos.
In the same night was Baltasar the Chaldean king slain.
31 E Dario, o medo, occupou o reino, sendo da edade de sessenta e dois annos.
And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being sixty-two years [old].
