Danieli 5
1 Mfalme Belshaza alifanya sherehe kubwa kwa kwa ajili ya wakuu wake wa kuheshimiwa wapatao elfu moja, na alikunywa divai mbele yao wote watu elfu moja.
Balthasar, the kyng, made a greet feeste to hise beste men a thousynde, and ech man drank aftir his age.
2 Wakati Belshaza alipokuwa akionja divai, alitoa agizo la kuleta vyombo vilivyotengenezwa kwa dhahabu au kwa fedha ambavyo Nebukadneza baba yake alikuwa amevichukua kutoka katika hekalu huko Yerusalemu, ambavyo yeye, na wakuu wake, na wake zake, na masuria waliweza kuvinywea.
Forsothe the kyng thanne drunkun comaundide, that the goldun and siluerne vessels schulden be brouyt forth, whiche Nabugodonosor, his fadir, hadde borun out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, that the kyng, and hise beste men, hise wyues, and councubyns schulden drynke in tho vessels.
3 Watumishi walivileta vyombo ya dhahabu vilivyokuwa vimechukulia katika hekalu, nyumba ya Mungu huko Yerusalemu. Mfalme na wakuu wake, na wake zake na masuria walivinywea.
Thanne the goldun vessels and siluerne, whiche he hadde borun out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, weren brouyt forth; and the kyng, and hise beste men, and hise wyues, and concubyns, drunken in tho vessels.
4 Walikunywa divai na kuzisifu sanamu zao zilizotengenezwa kwa dhahabu na fedha, shaba, chuma, mbao na mawe.
Thei drunken wyn, and herieden her goddis of gold, and of siluer, of bras, and of irun, and of tree, and of stoon.
5 Kwa wakati huo huo vidole vya mkono wa mtu vilionekana mbele ya kinara cha taa na kuandika katika ukuta uliopigwa lipu katika ikulu ya mfalme. Mfalme aliweza kuona sehemu ya mkono ulipokuwa unaandika.
In the same our fyngris apperiden, as of the hond of a man, writynge ayens the candilstike, in the pleyn part of the wal of the kyngis halle; and the kyng bihelde the fyngris of the hond writynge.
6 Ndipo uso wa mfalme ulibadilika na mawazo yake yalimwogopesha; miguu yake haikuweza kumfanya asimame, na magoti yake yalikuwa yakigongana kwa pamoja.
Thanne the face of the kyng was chaungid, and hise thouytis disturbliden hym; and the ioyncturis of hise reynes weren loosid, and hise knees weren hurtlid to hem silf togidere.
7 Mfalme alitoa agizo kwa kupiga kelele, waletwe ndani wale ambao hudai wanaweza kuzungumza na wafu, watu wenye hekima, na wataalamu wa nyota. Mfalme akawaambia wale waliojulikana kwa hekima katika Babeli, “Yeyote atakayeyaeleza maandishi haya na maana yake atavikwa nguo za zambarau na atavikwa na mkufu wa dhahabu shingoni mwake. Naye atakuwa mtawala wa tatu wa juu kwa mamlaka katika ufalme.”
Therfor the kyng criede strongli, that thei schulden brynge yn astronomyens, Caldeis, and dyuynouris bi lokyng of auteris. And the kyng spak, and seide to the wise men of Babiloyne, Who euer redith this scripture, and makith opyn the interpretyng therof to me, schal be clothid in purpur; and he schal haue a goldun bie in the necke, and he schal be the thridde in my rewme.
8 Ndipo watu wote wa mfalme walikuwa wakijulikana kwa hekima yao waliingia ndani, lakini hawakuweza kuyasoma maandishi wala kueleza maana yake kwa mfalme.
Thanne alle the wise men of the kyng entriden, and miyten not rede the scripture, nether schewe to the kyng the interpretyng therof.
9 Kisha mfalme Belshaza alishitushwa sana na mwonekano wa uso wake ulibadilika. Wakuu wake nao walishangazwa sana.
Wherof kyng Balthasar was disturblid ynow, and his cheer was chaungid, but also hise beste men weren disturblid.
10 Ndipo sasa malkia alikuja katika nyumba ya sherehe kwasababu ya kile ambacho mfalme na wakuu wake walikuwa wamekisema. Malkia akasema, “Mfalme na aishi milele! Usiache mawazo yako yakakusumbua. Usiruhusu mwonekano wa uso wako ubadilike.
Forsothe the queen entride in to the hous of feeste, for the thing that hadde bifeld to the king, and beste men; and sche spak, and seide, Kyng, lyue thou withouten ende. Thi thouytis disturble not thee, and thi face be not chaungid.
11 Kuna mtu katika ufalme wako ambaye ana roho ya miungu watakatifu dani yake. Katika siku za baba yako, mwanga na weledi na hekima ya miungu ilipatikana ndani yake. Mfalme Nebukadneza, baba yako mfalme, alimfanya kuwa mkuu wa waganga, pamoja na mkuu wa wale wanazungumza na wafu, na wa wenye hekima, na wa wataalamu wa nyota.
A man is in thi rewme, that hath the spirit of hooli goddis in hym silf, and in the daies of thi fadir kunnyng and wisdom weren foundun in hym; for whi and Nabugodonosor, thi fadir, made him prince of astronomyens, of enchaunteris, of Caldeis, and of dyuynouris bi lokyng on auteris; sotheli thi fadir, thou kyng, dide this;
12 Roho bora, ufahamu, weledi, kutafsiri ndoto, kufafanua mafumbo na kutatua matatizo - hizi ni sifa zilizopatikana kwa mtu huyu Danieli, ambaye mfalme alimwita Belteshaza. Sasa mwiteni Danieli naye atawaambia maana ya kile kilichoandikwa.”
for more spirit, and more prudent, and vndurstondyng, and interpretyng of dremes, and schewyng of priuytees, and assoilyng of boundun thingis weren foundun in hym, that is, in Danyel, to whom the kyng puttide the name Balthasar. Now therfor Daniel be clepid, and he schal telle the interpretyng. Therfor Daniel was brouyt in bifor the kyng. To whom the forseid kyng seide,
13 Ndipo Danieli alipoletwa mbele ya mfalme. Mfalme akamwambia, “Wewe ni yule Danieli, mmoja kati ya watu wa mateka wa Yuda, ambao baba yangu mfalme aliwaleta kutoka Yuda.
Art thou Danyel, of the sones of caitifte of Juda, whom my fader, the kyng, brouyte fro Judee?
14 Nimesikia habari kukuhusu wewe, kwamba roho ya miungu iko ndani yako, na ya kwamba mwanga na ufahamu na hekima bora inapatikana ndani yako.
Y haue herd of thee, that thou hast in thee the spirit of goddis, and more kunnyng, and vndurstondyng, and wisdom be foundun in thee.
15 Na sasa watu wanaojulikana kwa hekima na wale wanaozungumza na wafu, wamekwisha kuletwa mbele yangu, ili kusoma maandishi haya na kunijulisha maana ya tafsiri yake, lakini hawakuweza kunijulisha tafsiri yake.
And now wise men, astronomyens, entriden in my siyt, to rede this scripture, and to schewe to me the interpretyng therof; and thei myyten not seie to me the vndurstondyng of this word.
16 Nimesikia kwamba unaweza kutoa tafsiri na kutatua matatizo. Sasa kama utaweza kusoma maandishi na kuniambia maana yake, utavikwa nguo za zambarau na kuwa na kuvalishwa mkufu wa dhahabu shingoni mwako, na utakuwa mtawala wa tatu mwenye mamlaka katika ufalme.”
Certis Y haue herde of thee, that thou maist interprete derk thingis, and vnbynde boundun thingis; therfor if thou maist rede the scripture, and schewe to me the interpretyng therof, thou schalt be clothid in purpur, and thou schalt haue a goldun bie aboute thi necke, and thou schalt be the thridde prince in my rewme.
17 Kisha Danieli akajibu mbele ya mfalme, “Zawadi yako na iwe kwa ajili yako mwenyewe, na thawabu yako na umpe mtu mwingine. Hata hivyo, mfalme, nitakusomea maandishi na nitakwaambia maana.
To whiche thingis Danyel answeride, and seide bifore the kyng, Thi yiftis be to thee, and yyue thou to another man the yiftis of thin hous; forsothe, kyng, Y schal rede the scripture to thee, and Y schal schewe to thee the interpretyng therof.
18 Na juu yako, Ewe mfalme, Mungu Aliye juu sana alimpa Nebukadneza baba yako ufalme, ukuu, heshima na enzi.
O! thou kyng, hiyeste God yaf rewme, and greet worschipe, and glorie, and onour, to Nabugodonosor, thi fadir.
19 Na kwasababu ya ukuu huo, Mungu alimpa watu wote, mataifa, na lugha walimtetemekea na kumwogopa. Aliwauwa wale aliotaka wafe na aliwaacha hai wale aliotaka waishi. Aliwainua wale aliowataka, na aliwashusha wale aliowataka.
And for greet worschip which he hadde youe to thilke Nabugodonosor, alle puplis, lynagis, and langagis, trembliden and dredden hym; he killide whiche he wolde, and he smoot whiche he wolde, and he enhaunside whiche he wolde, and he made low which he wolde.
20 Lakini wakati moyo ulipokuwa na kiburi na roho yake ilifanywa kuwa mgumu na kwasababu hiyo alitenda kwa kiburi, alishushwa kutoka kiti chake cha enzi cha kifalme, na waliiondoa enzi yake.
Forsothe whanne his herte was reisid, and his spirit was maad obstynat in pride, he was put doun of the seete of his rewme;
21 Aliondolewa katika ubinadamu, alikuwa na akili za mnyama, na aliishi na punda wa mwituni. Alikula majani kama ng'ombe. Mwili wake ulilowanishwa kwa umande wa kutoka mbinguni mpaka pale alipojifunza kwamba Mungu Aliye Juu anatawala juu ya falme za watu na ya kwamba humweka mtu yeyote amtakaye juu yake.
and his glorie was takun awei, and he was cast out fro the sones of men; but also his herte was set with beestis, and his dwellyng was with wielde assis; also he eet hei as an oxe doith, and his bodi was colourid with the deew of heuene, til he knewe, that the hiyeste hath power in the rewme of men, and he schal reise on it whom euer he wole.
22 Wewe mwana wake, Belshaza, haujaunyenyekeza moyo wako, ingawa aliyajua haya yote.
And thou, Balthasar, the sone of hym, mekidest not thin herte, whanne thou knewist alle these thingis;
23 Umejiinua mwenyewe kinyume cha Bwana wa mbinguni. Katika nyumba yake walikuletea vyombo ambavyo wewe, wakuu wako, wake zako na masuria wako walivinywea, na kisha ukaisifia sana sanamu zilitengenezwa kwa fedha na dhahabu, shaba, chuma, mbao, na mawe - sanamu ambazo haziwezi kuona, kusikia wa kujua kitu chochote. Haujamheshimu Mungu ambaye anaishikilia pumzi yako katika mkono wake na ambaye anazijua njia zako zote.
but thou were reisid ayens the Lord of heuene, and the vessels of his hous weren brouyt bifore thee, and thou, and thi beste men, and thi wyues, and thi concubyns, drunken wyn in tho vessels; and thou heriedist goddis of siluer, and of gold, and of bras, and of irun, and of tree, and of stoon, that seen not, nether heren, nether feelen; certis thou glorifiedist not God, that hath thi blast, and alle thi weies in his hond.
24 Ndipo Mungu aliutuma mkono kutoka katika makao yake na maandishi haya yaliandikwa.
Therfor the fyngur of the hond was sent of hym, which hond wroot this thing that is writun.
25 Haya ndiyo maandishi ambayo yaliandikwa: 'Mene, Mene, Tekeli na Peresin.'
Sotheli this is the scripture which is discryued, Mane, Techel, Phares.
26 Maana yake ni: 'Mene,' 'Mungu ameuhesabu ufalme wako na ameukomesha.'
And this is the interpretyng of the word. Mane, God hath noumbrid thi rewme, and hath fillid it;
27 'Tekeli' 'umepimwa katika mizani na umeonekana umepungua.'
Techel, thou art weied in a balaunce, and thou art foundun hauynge lesse;
28 'Peresi' 'ufalme wako umegawanyika na wamepewa Wamedi na Waajemi.'”
Phares, thi rewme is departid, and is youun to Medeis and Perseis.
29 Ndipo Belshaza alitoa agizo, na walimvalisha Danieli mavazi ya zambarau. Mkufu wa dhahabu walimvisha shingoni, na mfalme alitoa tamko juu ya Danieli kuwa atakuwa mtawala mwenye mamlaka ya nafasi ya tatu katika ufalme.
Thanne, for the kyng comaundide, Daniel was clothid in purpur, and a goldun bie was youun aboute in his necke; and it was prechid of hym, that he hadde power, and was the thridde in the rewme.
30 Usiku ule Belshaza, mfalme wa Babeli aliuawa,
In the same niyt Balthasar, the kyng of Caldeis, was slayn;
31 na Dario Mwajemi aliuchukua ufalme alipokuwa na miaka ipatayo sitini na miwili.
and Daryus of Medei was successour in to the rewme, and he was two and sixti yeer eld.
