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.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
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.
Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
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 they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, 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 the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, 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 came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote opposite to the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part 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 the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees stroke one against another.
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.
The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the 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 not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
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.
Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonished.
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.
Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever: let not your thoughts trouble you, nor let your 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 your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar your father, the king, I say, your father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
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.
Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show 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 was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spoke and said unto Daniel, Are you that Daniel, which are of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
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 even heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in you.
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 astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not show the interpretation of the thing:
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.
And I have heard of you, that you can make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if you can read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, you shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the 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.
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 Oh ikaw na hari, ang Kataastaasang Dios, nagbigay kay Nabucodonosor na iyong ama ng kaharian, at kadakilaan, at kaluwalhatian, at kamahalan:
O you king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father a kingdom, and majesty, 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 majesty that 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; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put 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 mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
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 from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him 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 kingdom of men, and that he appoints over it whomsoever he will.
22 At ikaw na kaniyang anak, Oh Belsasar, hindi mo pinapagpakumbaba ang iyong puso, bagaman iyong nalalaman ang lahat na ito,
And you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this;
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 have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you, and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine in them; and you have 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 your breath is, and whose are all your ways, have you not glorified:
24 Nang magkagayo'y ang bahagi nga ng kamay ay sinugo mula sa harap niya, at ang sulat na ito'y nalagda.
Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
25 At ito ang sulat na nalagda, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 Ito ang kahulugan ng bagay: MENE; binilang ng Dios ang iyong kaharian, at niwakasan.
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it.
27 TEKEL; ikaw ay tinimbang sa timbangan, at ikaw ay nasumpungang kulang.
TEKEL; You are weighed in the balances, and are found lacking.
28 PERES; ang iyong kaharian ay hinati at ibinigay sa mga taga Media at taga Persia.
PERES; Your kingdom is divided, and 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 commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 Nang gabing yaon ay napatay si Belsasar na hari ng mga taga Caldea.
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans 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 Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
