Daniel 5
1 O rei Belshazzar deu um grande banquete aos seus mil grandes, e bebeu vinho na presença dos mil.
Belshazzar, the king, made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and each one of them drank according to his age.
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 so, when they were drunk, he instructed that the vessels of gold and silver should be brought, which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had carried away from the temple, which was in Jerusalem, so that the king, and his nobles, and his wives, and the concubines, might drink from 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.
Then the gold and silver vessels were presented, which he had carried away from the temple and which had been in Jerusalem, and the king, and his nobles, wives, and concubines, drank from 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 they praised their gods of gold, and silver, brass, iron, and wood and 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, there appeared fingers, as of the hand of a man, writing on the surface of the wall, opposite the candlestick, in the king’s palace. And the king observed the part 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 was changed, and his thoughts disturbed him, and he lost his self-control, and his knees knocked against one other.
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 out loudly for them to bring in the astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. And the king proclaimed to the wise men of Babylon, saying, “Whoever will read this writing and make known to me its interpretation will be clothed with purple, and will have a golden chain on his neck, and will be third 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, in came all the wise men of the king, but they could neither read the writing, nor reveal 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.
Therefore, king Belshazzar was quite confused, and his face was altered, and even his nobles were disturbed.
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.
But the queen, because of what had happened to the king and his nobles, entered the banquet house. And she spoke out, saying, “O king, live forever. Do not let your thoughts confuse you, neither should your face be altered.
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 your kingdom, who has the spirit of the holy gods within himself, and in the days of your father, knowledge and wisdom were found in him. For king Nebuchadnezzar, your father, appointed him leader of the astrologers, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, even your father, I say to you, O king.
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 a greater spirit, and foresight, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and the revealing of secrets, and the solution to difficulties were found in him, that is, in Daniel, to whom the king gave the name Belteshazzar. Now, therefore, let Daniel be summoned, and he will explain the interpretation.”
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 spoke to him, saying, “Are you Daniel, of the sons of the captivity of Judah, whom my father the king led out of Judea?
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 of you, that you have the spirit of the gods, and that greater knowledge, as well as understanding and wisdom, have been found in you.
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 astrologers have entered into my presence, so as to read this writing and to reveal to me its interpretation. And they were not able to tell me the meaning of this writing.
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.
Furthermore, I have heard about you that you can interpret obscure things and solve difficulties. So then, if you succeed in reading the writing, and in revealing its interpretation, you will be clothed with purple, and you will have a chain of gold around your neck, and you will be the third leader 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.
To this Daniel responded by saying directly to the king, “Your rewards should be for yourself, and the gifts of your house you may give to another, but I will read to you the writing, O king, and I will reveal to you its interpretation.
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 Nebuchadnezzar, your father, a kingdom and greatness, glory and honor.
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 because of the greatness that he gave to him, all peoples, tribes, and languages trembled and were afraid of him. Whomever he wished, he put to death; and whomever he wished, he destroyed; and whomever he wished, he exalted; and whomever he wished, he lowered.
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 hardened in arrogance, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom and his glory was taken away.
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 expelled from the sons of men, and so his heart was placed with the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys, and he ate hay like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he realized that the Most High holds power over the kingdom of men, and that whoever he wishes, he will set over it.
22 E tu, seu filho Belshazzar, não humilhaste o teu coração, ainda que soubeste tudo isto.
Likewise, you, his son Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all these things.
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.
But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. And the vessels of his house have been presented before you. And you, and your nobles, and your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. Likewise, you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, and brass, iron, and wood and stone, who neither see, nor hear, nor feel, yet you have not glorified the God who holds your breath and all your ways in his hand.
24 Então d'elle foi enviada aquella parte da mão, e escreveu-se esta escriptura.
Therefore, he has sent the part of the hand which has written this, which has been inscribed.
25 Esta pois é a escriptura que se escreveu: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
But this is the writing that has been decreed: MANE, THECEL, PHARES.
26 Esta é a interpretação d'aquillo: Mene: Contou Deus o teu reino, e o acabou.
And this is the interpretation of the words. MANE: God has numbered your kingdom and has finished it.
27 Tekel: Pesado foste na balança, e foste achado em falta.
THECEL: you have been weighed on the scales and found lacking.
28 Peres: Dividido foi o teu reino, e deu-se aos medos e aos persas.
PHARES: your kingdom has been divided and has been given to the Medes and the 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, by the king’s command, Daniel was dressed with purple, and a chain of gold was placed around his neck, and it was proclaimed of him that he held power as the third in the kingdom.
30 Mas na mesma noite foi morto Belshazzar, rei dos chaldeos.
That same night, king Belshazzar the Chaldean was killed.
31 E Dario, o medo, occupou o reino, sendo da edade de sessenta e dois annos.
And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two years.
