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 nobles, —and, before the thousand, was drinking, wine.
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, 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 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 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 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 silver, bronze, iron, wood and 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.
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 Ojú ọba sì yí padà, ẹ̀rù sì bà á, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí orúnkún ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ méjèèjì rẹ̀ fi ń gbá ara wọn.
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 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 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 Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn amòye ọba wọ ilé, ṣùgbọ́n, wọn kò le è ka àkọsílẹ̀ náà tàbí sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún ọba.
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 Nígbà náà ni Belṣassari ọba bínú gidigidi, ojú u rẹ̀ sì túbọ̀ dàrú sí i. Ẹ̀rù sì ba àwọn ìjòyè Belṣassari.
Then, King Belshazzar, was greatly terrified, and, his bright looks, were changed upon him, —and, his nobles, were perplexed.
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.
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 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 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 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, 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 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, 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 Mo ti gbọ́ wí pé ẹ̀mí ọlọ́run ń gbé inú rẹ àti wí pé ìwọ ní ojú inú, òye, àti ọgbọ́n tí ó tayọ.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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 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 “Ìwọ ọba, Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo fún Nebukadnessari baba rẹ ní ìjọba, títóbi ògo àti ọlá.
As for thee, O king, the Most High God, gave, kingship and greatness and honour and majesty, unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father;
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 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 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 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 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, 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 “Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ọmọ rẹ̀, Belṣassari, ìwọ kò rẹ ara à rẹ sílẹ̀, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìwọ mọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
And yet, thou, his son, O Belshazzar! hast not humbled thy heart, though, all this, thou knewest;
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, 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 Nítorí náà, ó rán ọwọ́ tí ó kọ àkọlé yìí.
Then was there put forth from before him the part of the hand, —and, this writing, was inscribed:
25 “Èyí ni àkọlé náà tí a kọ: Mene, mene, tekeli, peresini.
And this is the writing which was inscribed, M’ne, M’ne, T’kel, u-Pharsin.
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, —M’ne ["Reckoned-up"], God hath reckoned up thy reign, and ended it:
27 “Tekeli: A ti gbé ọ lórí òsùwọ̀n, ìwọ kò sì tó ìwọ̀n.
T’kel, —thou art weighed ["Weighed"] in the balances, and found wanting;
28 “Peresini: A ti pín ìjọba rẹ a sì ti fi fún àwọn Media àti àwọn Persia.”
P’res ["Snatched-away"], —snatched away is thy kingdom, 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 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 Ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà ni a pa Belṣassari, ọba àwọn ara Kaldea.
In that night, was slain—Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans.
31 Dariusi ará Media sì gba ìjọba nígbà tí ó di ọmọ ọdún méjìlélọ́gọ́ta.
And, Darius the Mede, received the kingdom, —when about sixty-two years of age.
