Daniel 5
1 Kralj Belšacár je priredil veliko zabavo svojim tisoč velikašem in pil vino pred tisočimi.
Belshazzar, the king gave a great feast to his thousands lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Medtem ko je Belšacár okušal vino, je zapovedal, da prinesejo zlate in srebrne posode, ki jih je njegov oče Nebukadnezar odnesel iz templja, ki je bil v Jeruzalemu, da bi kralj in njegovi princi, njegove žene in njegove priležnice lahko pili iz njih.
Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple at Jerusalem; that the king and his princes, his wives and his concubines, might drink therein.
3 Potem so prinesli zlate posode, ki so bile odnesene iz templja Božje hiše, ki je bila v Jeruzalemu; in kralj, njegovi princi, njegove žene in njegove priležnice so pili iz njih.
Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his princes, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
4 Pili so vino in hvalili bogove iz zlata in iz srebra, iz brona, iz železa, iz lesa in iz kamna.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 V isti uri so prišli prsti človeške roke in pisali nasproti svečniku na zidnem ometu kraljeve palače, in kralj je zagledal del roke, ki je pisala.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the chandelier upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace; and the king saw the hand that wrote.
6 Potem je bilo kraljevo obličje spremenjeno in njegove misli so ga vznemirile, tako da so bili sklepi njegovih ledij mlahavi in njegova kolena so udarjala druga ob drugo.
Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosened, and his knees smote one against the other.
7 Kralj je glasno zaklical, da pripeljejo astrologe, Kaldejce in napovedovalce usode. In kralj je spregovoril in rekel modrim možem iz Babilona: »Kdorkoli bo prebral to pisanje in mi pokazal njegovo razlago, bo oblečen v škrlat in okoli svojega vratu bo imel verižico iz zlata in bo tretji vladar v kraljestvu.«
The king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, the Chaldaeans, and the astrologers. And the king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule as the third in the kingdom.
8 Potem so vstopili vsi kraljevi modri možje, toda niso mogli prebrati pisanja niti kralju razglasiti njegove razlage.
Then all the king's wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king its signification.
9 Potem je bil kralj Belšacár silno vznemirjen in njegovo obličje na njem je bilo spremenjeno in njegovi velikaši so bili osupli.
Then was King Belshazzar in great consternation, and his countenance was changed, and his lords were amazed.
10 Torej kraljica je zaradi razloga besed kralja in njegovih velikašev prišla v hišo gostije in kraljica je spregovorila ter rekla: »Oh kralj, živi na veke. Naj te tvoje misli ne vznemirjajo niti naj tvoje obličje ne bo spremenjeno.
Then the queen, on account of this affair of the king and his lords, came into the banquet-house; and the queen spake and said, O king, live forever! Let not thy thoughts terrify thee, nor let thy countenance be changed.
11 V tvojem kraljestvu je mož, v katerem je duh svetih bogov in v dneh tvojega očeta je bilo v njem najti razsvetljenje, razumevanje in modrost, podobno modrosti bogov; ki ga je kralj Nebukadnezar, tvoj oče, kralj, pravim, tvoj oče, postavil za gospodarja čarovnikov, astrologov, Kaldejcev in napovedovalcev usode;
There is a man in thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar, thy father, made him chief of the scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers, thy father, O king!
12 ker se je v tem istem Danielu, ki ga je kralj poimenoval Beltšacár, našel odličen duh, spoznanje, razumevanje sanj, naznanjanje težkih razsodb in razreševanje dvomov. Naj bo torej Daniel poklican in pokazal bo razlago.«
forasmuch as an excellent spirit and knowledge and understanding to interpret dreams, and to explain hard sentences, and solve difficult questions were found in him, in Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar; now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.
13 Potem je bil Daniel priveden pred kralja. In kralj je spregovoril ter Danielu rekel: » Ali si ti tisti Daniel, ki si izmed otrok Judovega ujetništva, ki jih je kralj, moj oče, privedel iz Judeje?
Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said to Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, of the captives of Judah, whom the king, my father, brought out of Judaea?
14 O tebi sem slišal celo, da je v tebi duh bogov in da je v tebi najti razsvetljenje, razumevanje in odlično modrost.
I have heard concerning thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in thee.
15 Sedaj so bili predme privedeni modri možje, astrologi, da bi prebrali to pisanje in mi dali spoznati njegovo razlago, toda niso mogli pokazati razlage stvari.
And now the wise men and the magicians have been brought in before me, that they might read this writing, and make known to me its signification; but they could not show the signification of the thing.
16 O tebi pa sem slišal, da lahko daješ razlage in razrešuješ dvome. Torej če lahko prebereš pisanje in mi razglasiš njegov pomen, potem boš oblečen s škrlatom in okoli svojega vratu boš imel zlato verižico in boš tretji vladar v kraljestvu.«
But I have heard of thee that thou canst give interpretations, and solve difficult questions. Now if thou canst read the writing and make known to me its signification, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt rule as the third in the kingdom.
17 Potem je Daniel odgovoril in pred kraljem rekel: »Naj tvoja darila [ostanejo] tebi in svoje nagrade daj drugemu; kljub temu bom kralju prebral pisanje in mu dal spoznati razlago.
Then answered Daniel and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another: yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the signification.
18 Ti, oh kralj. Najvišji Bog je dal tvojemu očetu Nebukadnezarju kraljestvo, veličanstvo, slavo in čast.
O king, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, thy father, a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honor.
19 Zaradi veličanstva, ki mu ga je on dal, so vsa ljudstva, narodi in jeziki trepetali in se bali pred njim. Kogar je želel, je usmrtil; in kogar je želel, je ohranil živega; in kogar je želel, je povišal; in kogar je želel, je odstavil.
And by reason of the majesty which he gave him, all people, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him; whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; whom he would he set up, and whom he would he put down.
20 Toda ko je bilo njegovo srce povišano in je njegov um zakrknil v ponosu, je bil odstavljen od svojega kraljevskega prestola in njegovo slavo so odvzeli od njega.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened in pride, he was thrust down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him.
21 Pregnan je bil izmed človeških sinov in njegovo srce je bilo narejeno kakor živalsko in njegovo prebivališče je bilo z divjimi osli. Hranili so ga s travo kakor vole in njegovo telo je bilo omočeno z roso neba, dokler ni vedel, da najvišji Bog vlada v kraljestvu ljudi in da on postavlja čezenj kogarkoli on želi.
And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart became like the beasts, and his dwelling was with wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the Most High God ruled in the kingdoms of men, and set up over them whomsoever he would.
22 Ti, njegov sin, oh Belšacár, nisi ponižal svojega srca, čeprav si vse to vedel,
And thou, his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this;
23 temveč si se povzdignil zoper Gospoda nebes in predte so privedli posode njegove hiše in ti in tvoji velikaši, tvoje žene in tvoje priležnice so iz njih pili vino, in hvalil si bogove iz srebra, zlata, brona, železa, lesa in kamna, ki ne vidijo niti ne slišijo niti ne vedo. Boga pa, v čigar roki je tvoj dih in katerega so vse tvoje poti, ti nisi slavil.
but hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven; and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand is thy breath, and whose are all thy ways, thou hast not honored.
24 Torej je bil od njega poslan del roke, in zapisano je bilo to pisanje.
Then was sent from him the hand, and this writing was written.
25 To je pisanje, ki je bilo zapisano: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
And this is the writing which was written: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and To be Divided.
26 To je razlaga stvari: MENE: ›Bog je preštel tvoje kraljestvo in ga končal.‹
And this is the interpretation of it. Numbered: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and made an end of it.
27 TEKEL: ›Stehtan si bil na tehtnici in si najden pomanjkljiv.‹
Weighed: Thou art weighed in the balances, and found wanting.
28 PERES: ›Tvoje kraljestvo je razdeljeno in dano Medijcem in Perzijcem.‹«
Divided: Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Potem je Belšacár zapovedal in Daniela so oblekli s škrlatom in okoli njegovega vratu obesili verižico iz zlata in glede njega naredili razglas, da naj bi bil tretji vladar v kraljestvu.
Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be third ruler in the kingdom.
30 V tej noči je bil Belšacár, kralj Kaldejcev, umorjen.
In the same night was Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, slain;
31 Medijec Darej je dobil kraljestvo; bil je star okoli dvainšestdeset let.
and Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
