Daniel 5
1 Belṣassari, ọba ṣe àsè ńlá fún ẹgbẹ̀rún kan nínú àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ̀, ó sì mu wáìnì pẹ̀lú u wọn.
BELSHAZZAR the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Bí Belṣassari ṣe ń mu wáìnì, ó pàṣẹ pé kí wọn kó kọ́ọ̀bù wúrà àti ti fàdákà wá, èyí tí Nebukadnessari baba rẹ̀ kó wá láti inú tẹmpili ní Jerusalẹmu, kí ọba àti àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ̀, àwọn ìyàwó àti àwọn àlè rẹ̀ kí ó ba à le fi mu wáìnì.
Belshazzar, whiles 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 Wọ́n sì kó kọ́ọ̀bù wúrà àti fàdákà àti fàdákà èyí tí wọ́n kó jáde láti inú tẹmpili, ilé Ọlọ́run ní Jerusalẹmu, ọba àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, àwọn ìyàwó àti àwọn àlè rẹ̀, sì fi mu wáìnì.
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 Bí wọ́n ṣe ń mu wáìnì bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ń yin òrìṣà wúrà àti fàdákà, ti idẹ, irin, igi àti òkúta.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Lójijì, ìka ọwọ́ ènìyàn jáde wá, ó sì ń kọ̀wé sára ẹfun ògiri ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibi tí fìtílà ń dúró ní ààfin ọba. Ọba ń wo ọwọ́ náà bí ó ṣe ń kọ ọ́.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against 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 Ojú ọba sì yí padà, ẹ̀rù sì bà á, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí orúnkún ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ méjèèjì rẹ̀ fi ń gbá ara wọn.
Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
7 Ọba kígbe pé, kí wọn pe àwọn awòràwọ̀, àwọn onídán, àti àwọn aláfọ̀ṣẹ wá, ọba sì sọ fún àwọn amòye Babeli pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá lè ka àkọsílẹ̀ yìí kí ó sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀, ẹni náà ni a ó fi aṣọ elése àlùkò wọ̀ àti ẹ̀gbà wúrà ni a ó fi sí ọrùn un rẹ̀, òun ni yóò sì ṣe olórí kẹta ní ìjọba à mi.”
The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew 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 Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn amòye ọba wọ ilé, ṣùgbọ́n, wọn kò le è ka àkọsílẹ̀ náà tàbí sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún ọba.
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 Nígbà náà ni Belṣassari ọba bínú gidigidi, ojú u rẹ̀ sì túbọ̀ dàrú sí i. Ẹ̀rù sì ba àwọn ìjòyè Belṣassari.
Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
10 Nígbà tí ayaba gbọ́ ohùn ọba àti àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ̀, ó wá ilé àsè wá. Ó wí pé, “Kí ọba kí ó pẹ́! Má ṣe jẹ́ kí inú rẹ bàjẹ́, má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú u rẹ fàro.
Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
11 Ọkùnrin kan wà ní ìjọba à rẹ, ẹni tí ẹ̀mí ọlọ́run mímọ́ ń gbé inú rẹ̀. Ní ìgbà ayé e baba à rẹ, òun ni ó ní ojú inú, òye àti ìmọ̀ bí i ti ọlọ́run òun ni ọba Nebukadnessari, baba rẹ̀ fi jẹ olórí àwọn apidán, awòràwọ̀, apògèdè àti aláfọ̀ṣẹ.
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, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
12 Ọkùnrin náà ni Daniẹli ẹni tí ọba ń pè ní Belṣassari, ó ní ẹ̀mí tí ó tayọ, ìmọ̀ àti òye, àti agbára láti túmọ̀ àlá, ó máa ń ṣe àlàyé àlá àti àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó bá da ojú rú, ránṣẹ́ pè é, yóò sì sọ nǹkan tí àkọsílẹ̀ ìwé náà túmọ̀ sí.”
Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing 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 shew the interpretation.
13 Nígbà náà ni a mú Daniẹli wá síwájú ọba, ọba sì sọ fún un wí pé, “Ṣé ìwọ ni Daniẹli, ọ̀kan lára àwọn tí baba mi mú ní ìgbèkùn láti Juda!
Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
14 Mo ti gbọ́ wí pé ẹ̀mí ọlọ́run ń gbé inú rẹ àti wí pé ìwọ ní ojú inú, òye, àti ọgbọ́n tí ó tayọ.
I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
15 A ti mú àwọn amòye àti àwọn awòràwọ̀ wá sí iwájú mí kí wọn ba à le è wá ka àkọsílẹ̀ yìí kí wọn sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò le è sọ ìtumọ̀ ohun tí ó jẹ́.
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 shew the interpretation of the thing:
16 Ṣùgbọ́n mo ti gbọ́ wí pé, ìwọ lè sọ ìtumọ̀, àti wí pé o lè yanjú àwọn ìṣòro tó lágbára. Tí o bá lè ka àkọsílẹ̀ ìwé yìí kí o sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀, a ó fi aṣọ elése àlùkò wọ̀ ọ́ pẹ̀lú ẹ̀gbà wúrà ni a ó fi sí ọ lọ́rùn, a ó sì fi ọ́ ṣe olórí kẹta ní ìjọba mi.”
And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
17 Nígbà náà ni Daniẹli dá ọba lóhùn wí pé, “Fi ẹ̀bùn rẹ pamọ́ fún ara rẹ, tàbí kí o fún ẹlòmíràn. Síbẹ̀ èmi yóò ka àkọsílẹ̀ náà fún ọba, èmi yóò sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀.
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 “Ìwọ ọba, Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo fún Nebukadnessari baba rẹ ní ìjọba, títóbi ògo àti ọlá.
O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
19 Nítorí ipò ńlá tí a fi fún un, gbogbo ènìyàn orílẹ̀-èdè àti èdè gbogbo fi ń páyà tí wọ́n sì ń bẹ̀rù rẹ̀. Ó ń pa àwọn tí ó bá wù ú, ó sì ń dá àwọn tí ó bá wù ú sí, ó ń gbé àwọn tí ó bá wù ú ga, ó sì ń rẹ àwọn tí ó bá wù ú sílẹ̀.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ọkàn rẹ̀ ga, tí ó sì le koko. Ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí i hùwà ìgbéraga, a mú u kúrò lórí ìtẹ́ ọba rẹ̀, a sì gba ògo rẹ̀ kúrò.
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 A lé e kúrò láàrín ènìyàn, a sì fún un ní ọkàn ẹranko; ó sì ń gbé pẹ̀lú àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, ó sì ń jẹ koríko bí i ti màlúù; ìrì ọ̀run ṣì sẹ̀ sí ara rẹ̀, títí tó fi mọ̀ pé, Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo ń jẹ ọba lórí ìjọba ọmọ ènìyàn, òun sì ń fi fún ẹni tí ó bá wù ú.
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 appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
22 “Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ọmọ rẹ̀, Belṣassari, ìwọ kò rẹ ara à rẹ sílẹ̀, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìwọ mọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
23 Dípò èyí, ìwọ gbé ara à rẹ ga sí Olúwa ọ̀run, a mú ohun èlò inú tẹmpili rẹ̀ wá sí iwájú rẹ, ìwọ àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ, àwọn ìyàwó ò rẹ àti àwọn àlè rẹ fi ń mu wáìnì. Ìwọ ń yin àwọn òrìṣà fàdákà àti wúrà, idẹ, irin, igi àti ti òkúta, èyí tí kò lè ríran, tí kò le è gbọ́rọ̀ tàbí ní òye nǹkan kan. Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò bu ọlá fún Ọlọ́run ẹni tó ni ẹ̀mí rẹ lọ́wọ́, tí ó sì mọ gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ.
But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house 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 thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
24 Nítorí náà, ó rán ọwọ́ tí ó kọ àkọlé yìí.
Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
25 “Èyí ni àkọlé náà tí a kọ: Mene, mene, tekeli, peresini.
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 “Èyí ni nǹkan tí ọ̀rọ̀ náà túmọ̀ sí: “Mene: Ọlọ́run ti ṣírò ọjọ́ ìjọba rẹ. Ó sì ti mú u wá sí òpin.
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 “Tekeli: A ti gbé ọ lórí òsùwọ̀n, ìwọ kò sì tó ìwọ̀n.
TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 “Peresini: A ti pín ìjọba rẹ a sì ti fi fún àwọn Media àti àwọn Persia.”
PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Nígbà náà ni Belṣassari pàṣẹ pé kí a wọ Daniẹli ní aṣọ elése àlùkò, kí a sì fi ẹ̀gbà wúrà sí i lọ́rùn, a sì kéde rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí olórí kẹta ní ìjọba rẹ̀.
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 Ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà ni a pa Belṣassari, ọba àwọn ara Kaldea.
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 Dariusi ará Media sì gba ìjọba nígbà tí ó di ọmọ ọdún méjìlélọ́gọ́ta.
And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
