Daniel 5
1 Kralj Belšacár je priredil veliko zabavo svojim tisoč velikašem in pil vino pred tisočimi.
Belshazzar the king, made a great feast, to a thousand of his nobles, —and, before the thousand, was drinking, wine.
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, gave word, at the flavour of the wine, to bring the vessels of gold and silver, which Nebuchadnezzar his father, had brought forth, out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, —that the king and his nobles, 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 brought they the vessels of gold which had been taken out of the temple of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, —and the king and his nobles, his wives and, his concubines, drank therein:
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 silver, bronze, iron, wood and 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.
Immediately, came forth the fingers of the hand of a man, and wrote, over against the chandelier, upon the plaster of the wall of the palace of the king, —and, the king, saw the part of the hand which was writing,
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, as for the king, his bright looks, changed in him, and, his thoughts, terrified him, —and, the joints of his loins, were loosed, and, his knees, smote, one against another.
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 began crying out again, to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans and the astrologers, —the king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever it is that shall read this writing, and, the interpretation thereof, shall declare unto me, with purple, shall he be clothed, and have a chain of gold upon his neck, and, as the third in the kingdom, shall he have dominion.
8 Potem so vstopili vsi kraljevi modri možje, toda niso mogli prebrati pisanja niti kralju razglasiti njegove razlage.
Then were coming in all the wise men of the king, —but, the writing, could they not read, nor, the interpretation, make known to the king.
9 Potem je bil kralj Belšacár silno vznemirjen in njegovo obličje na njem je bilo spremenjeno in njegovi velikaši so bili osupli.
Then, King Belshazzar, was greatly terrified, and, his bright looks, were changed upon him, —and, his nobles, were perplexed.
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.
The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, into the house of banqueting, entered, —the queen spake and said, O king! for ages, live! Let not thy thoughts, terrify thee, and, as for thy bright looks, let them not 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 intelligence, and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him, —and, King Nebuchadnezzar thy father, appointed him, chief of the sacred 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, a distinguished spirit, and knowledge and intelligence, ability to interpret dreams and solve riddles and unravel knotty points, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let, Daniel, be called, and, the interpretation, will he declare.
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, Daniel, was brought in before the king, —the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art, thou, that Daniel, that is of the sons of the exile of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
14 O tebi sem slišal celo, da je v tebi duh bogov in da je v tebi najti razsvetljenje, razumevanje in odlično modrost.
Then, I have heard concerning thee, that, the spirit of the gods, is in thee, —and, light and intelligence and distinguished 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.
Now, therefore, have been brought in before me, the wise men, the magicians, that, this writing, they might read, and, the interpretation thereof, might make known unto me, —but they were not able, the interpretation of the thing, to declare.
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.«
I, however, have heard concerning thee, that thou art able, interpretations, to unfold, and, knotty points, to unravel, —Now, if thou be able, the writing, to read, and, the interpretation thereof, to make known unto me, with purple, shalt thou be clothed, and, a chain of gold, shalt thou have upon thy neck, and, as the third in the kingdom, shalt thou have dominion.
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 spake Daniel, and said before the king, As for thy gifts, thine own let them remain, and, thy presents, on another, bestow, —howbeit, the writing, will I read to the king, and, the interpretation thereof, will I make known to him.
18 Ti, oh kralj. Najvišji Bog je dal tvojemu očetu Nebukadnezarju kraljestvo, veličanstvo, slavo in čast.
As for thee, O king, the Most High God, gave, kingship and greatness and honour and majesty, unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father;
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, for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, races and tongues, used to tremble and to withdraw falteringly from before him, —Whom he would, he slew, and, whom he would, he kept alive, and, 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 uplifted was his heart and, his spirit, became obstinate so as to act arrogantly, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and, his dignity, took they 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, from among the sons of men, was he driven, and, his heart, to a wild beast’s, became equal, and, with the wild asses, was his dwelling, and, grass—like oxen, they suffered him to eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, his body, was drenched—until that he came to know that the Most High God, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, whomsoever he pleaseth, he setteth up over it.
22 Ti, njegov sin, oh Belšacár, nisi ponižal svojega srca, čeprav si vse to vedel,
And yet, thou, his son, O Belshazzar! hast not humbled thy heart, though, all this, thou knewest;
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, against the Lord of the heavens, hast uplifted thyself, and, the vessels of his house, have they brought before thee, and, thou, and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have been drinking, wine, therein, and, gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which see not nor hear nor know, hast thou praised, —whereas, God, in whose hand thy breath is and whose are all thy ways, him, hast thou not glorified.
24 Torej je bil od njega poslan del roke, in zapisano je bilo to pisanje.
Then was there put forth from before him the part of the hand, —and, this writing, was inscribed:
25 To je pisanje, ki je bilo zapisano: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
And this is the writing which was inscribed, M’ne, M’ne, T’kel, u-Pharsin.
26 To je razlaga stvari: MENE: ›Bog je preštel tvoje kraljestvo in ga končal.‹
This, is the interpretation of the thing, —M’ne ["Reckoned-up"], God hath reckoned up thy reign, and ended it:
27 TEKEL: ›Stehtan si bil na tehtnici in si najden pomanjkljiv.‹
T’kel, —thou art weighed ["Weighed"] in the balances, and found wanting;
28 PERES: ›Tvoje kraljestvo je razdeljeno in dano Medijcem in Perzijcem.‹«
P’res ["Snatched-away"], —snatched away is thy kingdom, 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, gave word, that they should clothe Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold upon his neck, —and should make a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler over the kingdom.
30 V tej noči je bil Belšacár, kralj Kaldejcev, umorjen.
In that night, was slain—Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans.
31 Medijec Darej je dobil kraljestvo; bil je star okoli dvainšestdeset let.
And, Darius the Mede, received the kingdom, —when about sixty-two years of age.
