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 to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Havendo Belshazzar provado o vinho, mandou trazer os vasos de ouro e de prata, que Nabucodonozor, seu pai, tinha tirado do templo que estava em Jerusalém, para que bebessem por eles o rei, e os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas.
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 Então trouxeram os vasos de ouro, que foram tirados do templo da casa de Deus, que estava em Jerusalém, e beberam por eles o rei, os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas.
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 Beberam o vinho, e deram louvores aos deuses de ouro, e de prata, de cobre, de ferro, de madeira, e de pedra.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Na mesma hora saiam uns dedos de mão de homem, e escreviam, defronte do castiçal, na caiadura da parede do palácio real; e o rei via a parte da mão que estava escrevendo.
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 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 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 E clamou o rei com força, que se introduzissem os astrólogos, os caldeus e os adivinhadores: e falou o rei, e disse aos sábios de Babilônia: Qualquer que ler esta escritura, e me declarar a sua interpretação, será vestido da púrpura, e trará uma cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e será, no reino, o terceiro dominador.
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 Então entraram todos os sábios do rei; mas não puderam ler a escritura, nem fazer saber ao rei a sua interpretação.
Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and couldn’t make known to the king the interpretation.
9 Então o rei Belshazzar perturbou-se muito, e mudou-se nele o seu semblante; e os seus grandes estavam sobresaltados.
Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
10 A rainha, pois, por causa das palavras do rei e dos seus grandes, entrou na casa do banquete: e falou a rainha, e disse: Ó rei, vive para sempre! não te turbem os teus pensamentos, nem se mude o teu semblante.
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; don’t let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.
11 Há um homem no teu reino, no qual há o espírito dos deuses santos; e nos dias de teu pai se achou nele luz, e inteligência, e sabedoria, como a sabedoria dos deuses; e teu pai, o rei Nabucodonozor, teu pai, ó rei, o constituiu chefe dos magos, dos astrólogos, dos caldeus, e dos adivinhadores;
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 Porquanto se achou neste Daniel um espírito excelente, e ciência e entendimento, interpretando sonhos, e declarando enigmas, e solvendo dúvidas, ao qual rei pôs o nome de Belteshazzar: chame-se pois agora Daniel, e ele declarará a interpretação.
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 Então Daniel foi introduzido à presença do rei. falou o rei, e disse a Daniel: És tu aquele Daniel, dos cativos de Judá, que o rei, meu pai, trouxe de Judá?
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 Porque tenho ouvido dizer a teu respeito que o espírito dos deuses está em ti, e que a luz, e o entendimento e a excelente sabedoria se acham em ti.
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 E agora foram introduzidos à minha presença os sábios e os astrólogos, para lerem esta escritura, e me fazerem saber a sua interpretação; mas não puderam declarar a interpretação destas palavras.
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 Eu porém tenho ouvido dizer de ti que podes dar interpretações e solver dúvidas: agora, se poderes ler esta escritura, e fazer-me saber a sua interpretação, serás vestido de púrpura, e terás cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e no reino serás o terceiro dominador.
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 Então respondeu Daniel, e disse na presença do rei: Os teus dons fiquem contigo, e dá os teus presentes a outro; contudo lerei ao rei a escritura, e lhe farei saber a interpretação.
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 Quanto a ti, ó rei! Deus, o altíssimo, deu a Nabucodonozor, teu pai, o reino, e a grandeza, e a glória, e a magnificência.
“To you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
19 E por causa da grandeza, que lhe deu, todos os povos, nações e línguas tremiam e temiam diante dele: a quem queria matava, e a quem queria dava a vida; e a quem queria engrandecia, e a quem queria abatia.
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 Mas quando o seu coração se exalçou, e o seu espírito se endureceu em soberba, foi derribado do seu trono real, e passou dele a sua glória.
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 E foi lançado dentre os filhos dos homens, e o seu coração foi feito semelhante ao das bestas, e a sua morada foi com os jumentos montezes; fizeram-no comer a erva como os bois, e do orvalho do céu foi molhado o seu corpo, até que conheceu que Deus, o altíssimo, domina sobre os reinos dos homens, e a quem quer constitui sobre eles.
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 E tu, seu filho Belshazzar, não humilhaste o teu coração, ainda que soubeste tudo isto.
“You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
23 E te levantaste contra o Senhor do céu, pois trouxeram os vasos da casa dele perante ti, e tu, os teus grandes, as tuas mulheres e as tuas concubinas, bebestes vinho por eles; de mais disto, deste louvores aos deuses de prata, de ouro, de cobre, de ferro, de madeira e de pedra, que nem veem, nem ouvem, nem sabem; mas a Deus, em cuja mão está a tua vida, e todos os teus caminhos, a ele não glorificaste.
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 don’t 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 Então dele foi enviada aquela parte da mão, e escreveu-se esta escritura.
Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
25 Esta pois é a escritura que se escreveu: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
“This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
26 Esta é a interpretação daquilo: Mene: Contou Deus o teu reino, e o acabou.
“This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
27 Tekel: Pesado foste na balança, e foste achado em falta.
TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28 Peres: Dividido foi o teu reino, e deu-se aos medos e aos persas.
PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
29 Então mandou Belshazzar que vestissem a Daniel de púrpura, e que lhe pusessem uma cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e proclamassem a respeito dele que havia de ser o terceiro dominador do reino.
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 Mas na mesma noite foi morto Belshazzar, rei dos caldeus.
In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
31 E Dario, o medo, ocupou o reino, sendo da idade de sessenta e dois anos.
Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
