Книга пророка Даниила 5
1 Валтасар царь сотвори вечерю велию вельможам своим тысящи мужем,
Belshazzar the king has made a great feast to one thousand of his great men, and before the one thousand he is drinking wine;
2 пред тысящею же вино, и пия Валтасар рече при вкушении вина, еже принести сосуды златы и сребряны, яже изнесе Навуходоносор отец его из храма (Господа Бога), иже во Иерусалиме, и да пиют в них царь и вельможи его, и наложницы его и возлежащыя (окрест) его.
Belshazzar has said—while tasting the wine—to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that the king may drink with them, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines.
3 И принесоша сосуды златыя и сребряныя, яже изнесе (Навуходоносор царь) из храма Господа Бога, иже во Иерусалиме: и пияху ими царь и вельможи его, и наложницы его и возлежащыя (окрест) его:
Then they have brought in the vessels of gold that had been taken out of the temple of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines, have drunk with them;
4 пияху вино и похвалиша боги златыя и сребряныя, и медяныя и железныя, и древяныя и каменныя, а Бога вечнаго не благословиша, имущаго власть духа их.
they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 В той час изыдоша персты руки человечи и писаху противу лампады на поваплении стены дому царева, и царь видяше персты руки пишущия.
In that hour fingers of a man’s hand have come forth, and they are writing in front of the lampstand, on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is writing;
6 Тогда царю зрак изменися, и размышления его смущаху его, и соузы чресл его разслабляхуся, и колена его сражастася:
then the king’s countenance has changed, and his thoughts trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are striking against one another.
7 и возопи царь силою, еже ввести волхвов, Халдеев, газаринов: и рече царь мудрым Вавилонским: иже прочтет писание сие и разум его возвестит мне, той в багряницу облечется, и гривна златая на выю его, и третий во царстве моем обладати начнет.
The king calls mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king has answered and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, “Any man who reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, he puts on purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and he rules third in the kingdom.”
8 И вхождаху вси мудрии ко царю и не можаху писания прочести, ни разума царю возвестити.
Then all the wise men of the king are coming up, and they are not able to read the writing, and to make known the interpretation to the king;
9 Царь же Валтасар возмятеся, и зрак его изменися на нем, и вельможи его смущахуся.
then King Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
10 И вниде царица в дом пирный, и рече царица: царю во веки живи: да не смущают тебе размышления твоя, и зрак твой да не изменяется:
The queen, on account of the words of the king and his great men, has come up to the banquet-house. The queen has answered and said, “O king, live for all ages; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor your countenance be changed:
11 есть муж во царстве твоем, в немже дух Божий: и во дни отца твоего бодрость и смысл обретеся в нем, и царь Навуходоносор отец твой князя постави его волхвом, обаятелем, Халдеем, газарином,
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—as the wisdom of the gods—was found in him; and your father King Nebuchadnezzar, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him—your father, O king—
12 яко дух преизюбилный (бяше) в нем, и премудрость и смысл (обретеся) в нем, сказуя сны и возвещая сокровенная и разрешая соузы, Даниил, и царь нарече имя ему Валтасар: ныне убо да призовется, и сказание его возвестит тебе.
because that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of enigmas, and loosing of knots was found in him, in Daniel, whose name the king made Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and the interpretation he shows.”
13 Тогда Даниил введен бысть пред царя. И рече царь Даниилу: ты лиеси Даниил, от сынов пленник Иудейских, ихже приведе Навуходоносор царь отец мой?
Then Daniel has been caused to come up before the king; the king has answered and said to Daniel, “You are that Daniel who [is] of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, whom my father the king brought in out of Judah?
14 Слышах о тебе, яко дух Божий в тебе, и бодрость и смысл и премудрость изюбилна обретеся в тебе:
And I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods [is] in you, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been found in you.
15 и ныне внидоша пред мя мудрии, волсви, газарини, да писание сие прочтут и сказания его возвестят ми, и не могоша возвестити мне:
And now, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that they may read this writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to show the interpretation of the thing:
16 аз же слышах о тебе, яко можеши суды сказати: ныне убо аще возможеши ппсание сие прочести и сказание его возвестити мне, в багряницу облечешися, и гривна златая на выи твоей будет, и третий во царстве моем обладати будеши.
and I have heard of you, that you are able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, behold—you are able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know—purple you put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on your neck, and you rule third in the kingdom.”
17 Тогда отвеща Даниил и рече пред царем: даяния: твоя с тобою да будут, и дар дому твоего иному даждь, аз же писание прочту царю и сказание его возвещу тебе.
Then Daniel has answered and said before the king, “Your gifts be to yourself, and give your fee to another; nevertheless, the writing I read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know;
18 Царю! Бог Вышний царство и величество, и честь и славу даде Навуходоносору отцу твоему,
you, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor, gave to your father Nebuchadnezzar:
19 и от величества, еже ему даде, вси людие, племена, языцы бяху трепещуще и боящеся от лица его: ихже хотяше убиваше, и ихже хотяше бияше, и ихже хотяше возвышаше, и ихже хотяше, той смиряше:
and because of the greatness that He gave to him, all peoples, nations, and languages were trembling and fearing before him: whom he willed he was slaying, and whom he willed he was keeping alive, and whom he willed he was raising up, and whom he willed he was making low;
20 и егда вознесеся сердце его и утвердися дух его еже презорствовати, сведеся от престола царства, и слава и честь отяся от него,
and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he has been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away from him,
21 и от человек отгнася, и сердце его со зверьми отдася, и житие его со дивиими ослы, и травою аки вола питаху его, и от росы небесныя оросися тело его, дондеже уразуме, яко владеет Бог Вышний царством человеческим, и емуже хощет, даст е.
and he is driven from the sons of men, and his heart has been like with the beasts, and with the wild donkeys [is] his dwelling; they cause him to eat the herb like oxen, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, until he has known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He wills He raises up over it.
22 И ты убо, сыне его Валтасаре, не смирил еси сердца твоего пред Господем: не вся ли сия ведал еси?
And you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though all this you have known;
23 Но на Господа Бога небеснаго вознеслся еси, и сосуды храма Его принесоша пред тебе, ты же и вельможи твои, и наложницы твоя и возлежащыя (окрест) тебе, вино пиясте ими: и боги златыя и сребряныя, и медяныя и железныя, и каменныя и древяныя, иже ни видят, ни слышат, ни разумеют, похвалил еси, а Бога, у Негоже дыхание твое в руце Его, и вси путие твои, Того не прославил еси.
and against the Lord of the heavens you have lifted up yourself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before you, and you, and your great men, your wives, and your concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, you have praised: and the God in whose hand [is] your breath, and all your ways, Him you have not honored.
24 Сего ради от лица Его послани быша персты ручнии и писание сие вчиниша.
Then from before Him is the extremity of the hand sent, and the writing is noted down;
25 Се же есть писание вчиненое: мани, фекел, фарес.
and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
26 Се сказание глагола: мани, измери Бог царство твое и сконча е:
This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered—God has numbered your kingdom, and has finished it.
27 фекел, поставися в мерилех и обретеся лишаемо:
Weighed—You are weighed in the balances, and have been found lacking.
28 фарес, разделися царство твое и дадеся Мидом и Персом.
Divided—Your kingdom is divided, and it has been given to the Medes and Persians.”
29 И рече Валтасар: (облецыте и). И облекоша Даниила в багряницу, и гривну златую возложиша на выю его, и проповеда о нем, еже быти ему князю третиему во царстве его.
Then Belshazzar has spoken, and they have clothed Daniel with purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and they have proclaimed concerning him that he is the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 Валтасара царя Халдейска убиша в ту нощь,
In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
31 Дарий же Мидянин прия царство, сый шестидесяти и двою лет.
and Darius the Mede has received the kingdom when a son of sixty-two years.
