Daniel 5
1 Si Belsasar na hari ay gumawa ng malaking piging sa isang libo na kaniyang mga mahal na tao, at uminom ng alak sa harap ng sanglibo.
Baltasar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles: and every one drank according to his age.
2 Samantalang nilalasap ni Belsasar ang alak, ay nagutos na dalhin doon ang mga ginto at pilak na sisidlan na kinuha ni Nabucodonosor na kaniyang ama sa templo na nasa Jerusalem; upang mainuman ng hari, ng kaniyang mga mahal na tao, ng kaniyang mga asawa, at ng kaniyang mga babae.
And being now drunk he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.
3 Nang magkagayo'y dinala nila ang mga gintong sisidlan na kinuha sa templo ng bahay ng Dios na nasa Jerusalem; at ininuman ng hari at ng kaniyang mga mahal na tao, at ng kaniyang mga asawa at ng kaniyang mga babae.
Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
4 Sila'y nangaginuman ng alak, at nagsipuri sa mga dios na ginto, at pilak, tanso, bakal, kahoy, at bato.
They drank wine, and praised their gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
5 Nang oras ding yaon ay may lumabas na mga daliri ng kamay ng isang tao at sumulat sa tapat ng kandelero sa panig na may palitada ng palacio: at nakita ng hari ang bahagi ng kamay na sumulat.
In the same hour there appeared fingers, as it were of the hand of a man, writing over against the candlestick upon the surface of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king beheld the joints of the hand that wrote.
6 Nang magkagayo'y nagbago ang pagmumukha ng hari, at binagabag siya ng kaniyang mga pagiisip; at ang pagkakasugpong ng kaniyang mga balakang ay nakalag, at ang kaniyang mga tuhod ay nagkaumpugan.
Then was the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him: and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one against the other.
7 Ang hari ay sumigaw ng malakas, na papasukin ang mga enkantador, mga Caldeo, at mga manghuhula. Ang hari ay nagsalita, at nagsabi sa mga pantas sa Babilonia, Sinomang makababasa ng sulat na ito, at makapagpapaaninaw sa akin ng kahulugan niyan, magdadamit ng kulay morado, at magkakaroon ng kuwintas na ginto sa palibot ng kaniyang leeg, at magiging ikatlong puno sa kaharian.
And the king cried out aloud to bring in the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon: Whosoever shall read this writing, and shall make known to me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and shall have a golden chain on his neck, and shall be the third man in my kingdom.
8 Nang magkagayo'y nagsipasok ang lahat na pantas ng hari; nguni't hindi nila nabasa ang sulat, o naipaaninaw man sa hari ang kahulugan niyaon.
Then came in all the king’s wise men, but they could neither read the writing, nor declare the interpretation to the king.
9 Nang magkagayo'y nabagabag na mainam ang haring Belsasar, at ang kaniyang pagmumukha ay nabago, at ang kaniyang mga mahal na tao ay nangatitigilan.
Wherewith king Baltasar was much troubled, and his countenance was changed: and his nobles also were troubled.
10 Ang reina, dahil sa mga salita ng hari at ng kaniyang mga mahal na tao ay pumasok sa bahay na pinagpigingan: ang reina ay nagsalita, at nagsabi, Oh hari, mabuhay ka magpakailan man; huwag kang bagabagin ng iyong mga pagiisip, o mabago man ang iyong pagmumukha.
Then the queen, on occasion of what had happened to the king, and his nobles, came into the banquet house: and she spoke and said: O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.
11 May isang lalake sa iyong kaharian na kinaroroonan ng espiritu ng mga banal na dios; at sa mga kaarawan ng iyong ama, ay nasumpungan sa kaniya ang liwanag at unawa at karunungan, na gaya ng karunungan ng mga dios; at ang haring Nabucodonosor, na iyong ama, ang hari, sinasabi ko, ang iyong ama, ay ginawa niya siyang panginoon ng mga mago, ng mga enkantador, ng mga Caldeo, at ng mga manghuhula;
There is a man in thy kingdom that hath the spirit of the holy gods in him: and in the days of thy father knowledge and wisdom were found in him: for king Nabuchodonosor thy father appointed him prince of the wise men, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, thy father, I say, O king:
12 Palibhasa'y isang marilag na espiritu, at kaalaman, at unawa, pagpapaaninaw ng mga panaginip, at pagpapakilala ng mga malabong salita, at pagpapaliwanag ng pagaalinlangan, ay nangasumpungan sa Daniel na iyan, na pinanganlan ng hari na Beltsasar. Tawagin nga si Daniel, at kaniyang ipaaaninaw ang kahulugan.
Because a greater spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and shewing of secrets, and resolving of difficult things, were found in him, that is, in Daniel: whom the king named Baltassar. Now therefore let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation.
13 Nang magkagayo'y dinala si Daniel sa harap ng hari. Ang hari ay nagsalita, at nagsabi kay Daniel, Ikaw baga'y si Daniel na sa mga anak ng pagkabihag sa Juda, na kinuha sa Juda ng haring aking ama?
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke, and said to him: Art thou Daniel of the children of the captivity of Juda, whom my father the king brought out of Judea?
14 Nabalitaan kita, na ang espiritu ng mga dios ay sumasa iyo, at ang liwanag at unawa at marilag na karunungan ay masusumpungan sa iyo.
I have heard of thee, that thou hast the spirit of the gods, and excellent knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom are found in thee.
15 At ang mga pantas nga, ang mga enkantador, dinala sa harap ko, upang kanilang basahin ang sulat na ito, at ipaaninaw sa akin ang kahulugan; nguni't hindi nila naipaaninaw ang kahulugan ng bagay.
And now the wise men the magicians have come in before me, to read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof: and they could not declare to me the meaning of this writing.
16 Nguni't nabalitaan kita, na ikaw ay makapagpapaaninaw ng mga kahulugan, at makapagpapaliwanag ng alinlangan: kung iyo ngang mabasa ang sulat, at maipaaninaw sa akin ang kahulugan, mananamit ka ng kulay morado, at magkakaroon ng kuwintas na ginto sa palibot ng iyong leeg, at ikaw ay magiging ikatlong puno sa kaharian.
But I have heard of thee, that thou canst interpret obscure things, and resolve difficult things: now if thou art able to read the writing, and to shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third prince in my kingdom.
17 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot, at nagsabi si Daniel sa harap ng hari, Iyo na ang iyong mga kaloob, at ibigay mo ang iyong mga ganting pala sa iba; gayon ma'y aking babasahin sa hari ang sulat, at ipaaninaw ko sa kaniya ang kahulugan.
To which Daniel made answer, and said before the king: Thy rewards be to thyself, and the gifts of thy house give to another: but the writing I will read to thee, O king, and shew thee the interpretation thereof.
18 Oh ikaw na hari, ang Kataastaasang Dios, nagbigay kay Nabucodonosor na iyong ama ng kaharian, at kadakilaan, at kaluwalhatian, at kamahalan:
O king, the most high God gave to Nabuchodonosor thy father a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour.
19 At dahil sa kadakilaan na ibinigay niya sa kaniya, nanginig at natakot sa harap niya lahat ng mga bayan, bansa, at wika: ang kaniyang ibiging patayin ay kaniyang pinapatay, at ang kaniyang ibiging buhayin ay kaniyang binubuhay; at ang ibiging itaas ay kaniyang itinataas, at ang ibiging ibaba ay kaniyang ibinababa.
And for the greatness that he gave to him, all people, tribes, and languages trembled, and were afraid of him: whom he would, he slew: and whom he would, he destroyed: and whom he would, he set up: and whom he would, he brought down.
20 Nguni't nang ang kaniyang puso ay magpakataas, at ang kaniyang espiritu ay magmatigas na siya'y gumawang may kapalaluan, siya'y ibinaba sa kaniyang luklukang pagkahari, at inalis nila ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian:
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto pride, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory was taken away.
21 At siya'y pinalayas sa mga anak ng mga tao, at ang kaniyang puso ay naging gaya ng sa mga hayop, at ang kaniyang tahanan ay napasama sa maiilap na mga asno; siya'y pinakain ng damo na gaya ng mga baka, at ang kaniyang katawan ay nabasa ng hamog ng langit; hanggang sa kaniyang naalaman na ang Kataastaasang Dios ay nagpupuno sa kaharian ng mga tao, at iniluklok niya roon ang sinomang kaniyang ibigin.
And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him.
22 At ikaw na kaniyang anak, Oh Belsasar, hindi mo pinapagpakumbaba ang iyong puso, bagaman iyong nalalaman ang lahat na ito,
Thou also his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thy heart, whereas thou knewest all these things:
23 Kundi ikaw ay nagpakataas laban sa Panginoon ng langit; at kanilang dinala ang mga kasangkapan ng kaniyang bahay sa harap mo, at ikaw, at ang iyong mga mahal na tao, ang iyong mga asawa at ang iyong mga babae, ay nagsiinom ng alak sa mga yaon; at iyong pinuri ang mga dios na pilak, at ginto, tanso, bakal, kahoy at bato, na hindi nangakakakita, o nangakakarinig man, o nakakaalam man; at ang Dios na kinaroroonan ng iyong hininga, at kinaroroonan ng lahat na iyong lakad, hindi mo niluwalhati.
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 nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified.
24 Nang magkagayo'y ang bahagi nga ng kamay ay sinugo mula sa harap niya, at ang sulat na ito'y nalagda.
Wherefore he hath sent the part of the hand which hath written this that is set down.
25 At ito ang sulat na nalagda, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
And this is the writing that is written: MANE, THECEL, PHARES.
26 Ito ang kahulugan ng bagay: MENE; binilang ng Dios ang iyong kaharian, at niwakasan.
And this is the interpretation of the word. MANE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
27 TEKEL; ikaw ay tinimbang sa timbangan, at ikaw ay nasumpungang kulang.
THECEL: thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting.
28 PERES; ang iyong kaharian ay hinati at ibinigay sa mga taga Media at taga Persia.
PHARES: thy kingdom is divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Nang magkagayo'y nagutos si Belsasar, at pinanamit nila si Daniel ng kulay morado, at nilagyan ng kuwintas na ginto sa palibot ng leeg niya, at nagtanyag tungkol sa kaniya, na siya'y ikatlong puno sa kaharian.
Then by the king’s command Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom.
30 Nang gabing yaon ay napatay si Belsasar na hari ng mga taga Caldea.
The same night Baltasar the Chaldean king was slain.
31 At tinanggap ni Dario na taga Media ang kaharian, na noo'y anim na pu't dalawang taon ang gulang niya.
And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being threescore and two years old.
