دَانِيآل 5
| بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ ٱلْمَلِكُ صَنَعَ وَلِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً لِعُظَمَائِهِ ٱلْأَلْفِ، وَشَرِبَ خَمْرًا قُدَّامَ ٱلْأَلْفِ. | ١ 1 |
King Belshazzar held a great feast for one thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking wine with them.
| وَإِذْ كَانَ بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ يَذُوقُ ٱلْخَمْرَ، أَمَرَ بِإِحْضَارِ آنِيَةِ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْرَجَهَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ أَبُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِيَشْرَبَ بِهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَعُظَمَاؤُهُ وَزَوْجَاتُهُ وَسَرَارِيهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Under the wine's influence Belshazzar ordered his servants to bring in the cups and bowls of gold and silver his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem so that he and his nobles, his wives and concubines, could drink from them.
| حِينَئِذٍ أَحْضَرُوا آنِيَةَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي أُخْرِجَتْ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَشَرِبَ بِهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَعُظَمَاؤُهُ وَزَوْجَاتُهُ وَسَرَارِيهِ. | ٣ 3 |
So they brought in the gold cups and bowls that had been taken from the Temple of God in Jerusalem. The king and his nobles, his wives and concubines, drank from them.
| كَانُوا يَشْرَبُونَ ٱلْخَمْرَ وَيُسَبِّحُونَ آلِهَةَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ وَٱلْخَشَبِ وَٱلْحَجَرِ. | ٤ 4 |
As they drank wine they praised their gods—idols made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
| فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ظَهَرَتْ أَصَابِعُ يَدِ إِنْسَانٍ، وَكَتَبَتْ بِإِزَاءِ ٱلنِّبْرَاسِ عَلَى مُكَلَّسِ حَائِطِ قَصْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَٱلْمَلِكُ يَنْظُرُ طَرَفَ ٱلْيَدِ ٱلْكَاتِبَةِ. | ٥ 5 |
Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared, writing on the plaster wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand. The king watched the hand as it wrote.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَغَيَّرَتْ هَيْئَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَفْزَعَتْهُ أَفْكَارُهُ، وَٱنْحَلَّتْ خَرَزُ حَقْوَيْهِ، وَٱصْطَكَّتْ رُكْبَتَاهُ. | ٦ 6 |
His face turned pale, and he became very frightened. His legs gave way and his knees knocked together.
| فَصَرَخَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِشِدَّةٍ لِإِدْخَالِ ٱلسَّحَرَةِ وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْمُنَجِّمِينَ، فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ لِحُكَمَاءِ بَابِلَ: «أَيُّ رَجُلٍ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ ٱلْكِتَابَةَ وَيُبَيِّنُ لِي تَفْسِيرَهَا فَإِنَّهُ يُلَبَّسُ ٱلْأُرْجُوَانَ وَقِلَادَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ، وَيَتَسَلَّطُ ثَالِثًا فِي ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ». | ٧ 7 |
The king shouted, “Bring in the enchanters and astrologers and diviners!” He told these wise men of Babylon, “Anyone who can read this writing and explain it to me will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will become the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
| ثُمَّ دَخَلَ كُلُّ حُكَمَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يَقْرَأُوا ٱلْكِتَابَةَ، وَلَا أَنْ يُعَرِّفُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ بِتَفْسِيرِهَا. | ٨ 8 |
However, after all the king's wise men had come in, they could not read the writing or explain to him what it meant.
| فَفَزَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ جِدًّا وَتَغَيَّرَتْ فِيهِ هَيْئَتُهُ، وَٱضْطَرَبَ عُظَمَاؤُهُ. | ٩ 9 |
This made King Belshazzar even more frightened and his face grew even paler. His nobles also were in panic.
| أَمَّا ٱلْمَلِكَةُ فَلِسَبَبِ كَلَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَعُظَمَائِهِ دَخَلَتْ بَيْتَ ٱلْوَلِيمَةِ، فَأَجَابَتِ ٱلْمَلِكَةُ وَقَالَتْ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، عِشْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ! لَا تُفَزِّعْكَ أَفْكَارُكَ وَلَا تَتَغَيَّرُ هَيْئَتُكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
When the queen mother heard the noise the king and the nobles were making she went to the banquet hall. She said to Belshazzar, “May Your Majesty the king live forever! Don't be frightened! Don't look so pale!
| يُوجَدُ فِي مَمْلَكَتِكَ رَجُلٌ فِيهِ رُوحُ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِينَ، وَفِي أَيَّامِ أَبِيكَ وُجِدَتْ فِيهِ نَيِّرَةٌ وَفِطْنَةٌ وَحِكْمَةٌ كَحِكْمَةِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ، وَٱلْمَلِكُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ أَبُوكَ جَعَلَهُ كَبِيرَ ٱلْمَجُوسِ وَٱلسَّحَرَةِ وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْمُنَجِّمِينَ. أَبُوكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ. | ١١ 11 |
There's a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In your father's time he was found to have understanding and insight, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your Majesty's father, King Nebuchadnezzar put him in charge of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your father did this
| مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّ رُوحًا فَاضِلَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً وَفِطْنَةً وَتَعْبِيرَ ٱلْأَحْلَامِ وَتَبْيِينَ أَلْغَازٍ وَحَلَّ عُقَدٍ وُجِدَتْ فِي دَانِيآلَ هَذَا، ٱلَّذِي سَمَّاهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَلْطَشَاصَّرَ. فَلْيُدْعَ ٱلْآنَ دَانِيآلُ فَيُبَيِّنَ ٱلتَّفْسِيرَ». | ١٢ 12 |
because Daniel, (called Belteshazzar by the king) was found to have an excellent mind, full of understanding and insight, and also able to interpret dreams, explain mysteries, and solve difficult problems. Call Daniel in and let him explain what this means to you.”
| حِينَئِذٍ أُدْخِلَ دَانِيآلُ إِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ لِدَانِيآلَ: «أَأَنْتَ هُوَ دَانِيآلُ مِنْ بَنِي سَبْيِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلَّذِي جَلَبَهُ أَبِي ٱلْمَلِكُ مِنْ يَهُوذَا؟ | ١٣ 13 |
So Daniel was brought in before the king. The king asked him, “Are you Daniel, one of the prisoners my father the king brought from Judah?
| قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ أَنَّ فِيكَ رُوحَ ٱلْآلِهَةِ، وَأَنَّ فِيكَ نَيِّرَةٌ وَفِطْنَةٌ وَحِكْمَةٌ فَاضِلَةٌ. | ١٤ 14 |
I have heard about you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you were found to have understanding, insight, and great wisdom.
| وَٱلْآنَ أُدْخِلَ قُدَّامِي ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ وَٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِيَقْرَأُوا هَذِهِ ٱلْكِتَابَةَ وَيُعَرِّفُونِي بِتَفْسِيرِهَا، فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يُبَيِّنُوا تَفْسِيرَ ٱلْكَلَامِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Just now the wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and explain it to me, but they weren't able to do so—they couldn't tell me what it meant.
| وَأَنَا قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُفَسِّرَ تَفْسِيرًا وَتَحُلَّ عُقَدًا. فَإِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ ٱلْآنَ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ ٱلْكِتَابَةَ وَتُعَرِّفَنِي بِتَفْسِيرِهَا فَتُلَبَّسُ ٱلْأُرْجُوَانَ وَقِلَادَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِكَ وَتَتَسَلَّطُ ثَالِثًا فِي ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ». | ١٦ 16 |
However, I'm told that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. If you can read this writing and explain it to me, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will become the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
| فَأَجَابَ دَانِيآلُ وَقَالَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ: «لِتَكُنْ عَطَايَاكَ لِنَفْسِكَ وَهَبْ هِبَاتِكَ لِغَيْرِي. لَكِنِّي أَقْرَأُ ٱلْكِتَابَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ وَأُعَرِّفُهُ بِٱلتَّفْسِيرِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Daniel answered the king, “Keep your gifts and give your rewards to another. Even so I will read the writing to Your Majesty and explain to you what it means.
| أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، فَٱللهُ ٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى أَبَاكَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلَكُوتًا وَعَظَمَةً وَجَلَالًا وَبَهَاءً. | ١٨ 18 |
Your Majesty, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar this kingdom, and power, glory, and majesty.
| وَلِلْعَظَمَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا كَانَتْ تَرْتَعِدُ وَتَفْزَعُ قُدَّامَهُ جَمِيعُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَٱلْأُمَمِ وَٱلْأَلْسِنَةِ. فَأَيًّا شَاءَ قَتَلَ، وَأَيًّا شَاءَ ٱسْتَحْيَا، وَأَيًّا شَاءَ رَفَعَ، وَأَيًّا شَاءَ وَضَعَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Because of the power he gave him, people of every nation and language trembled with fear before him. Those he wished to kill were killed, and those he wished to live were allowed to live. Those he wanted to honor were honored, and those he wanted to humble were humbled.
| فَلَمَّا ٱرْتَفَعَ قَلْبُهُ وَقَسَتْ رُوحُهُ تَجَبُّرًا، ٱنْحَطَّ عَنْ كُرْسِيِّ مُلْكِهِ، وَنَزَعُوا عَنْهُ جَلَالَهُ، | ٢٠ 20 |
But when he became arrogant and hard-hearted, acting proudly, he was removed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away from him.
| وَطُرِدَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَتَسَاوَى قَلْبُهُ بِٱلْحَيَوَانِ، وَكَانَتْ سُكْنَاهُ مَعَ ٱلْحَمِيرِ ٱلْوَحْشِيَّةِ، فَأَطْعَمُوهُ ٱلْعُشْبَ كَٱلثِّيرَانِ، وَٱبْتَلَّ جِسْمُهُ بِنَدَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، حَتَّى عَلِمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ ٱلْعَلِيَّ سُلْطَانٌ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَأَنَّهُ يُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ. | ٢١ 21 |
He was driven away from human society and his mind became like that of an animal. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle, and he was soaked with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High rules over human kingdoms, and that he gives them to whoever he chooses.
| وَأَنْتَ يَا بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ ٱبْنَهُ لَمْ تَضَعْ قَلْبَكَ، مَعَ أَنَّكَ عَرَفْتَ كُلَّ هَذَا، | ٢٢ 22 |
But you, Belshazzar, his son, have not humbled yourself, even though you knew all this.
| بَلْ تَعَظَّمْتَ عَلَى رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَأَحْضَرُوا قُدَّامَكَ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِهِ، وَأَنْتَ وَعُظَمَاؤُكَ وَزَوْجَاتُكَ وَسَرَارِيكَ شَرِبْتُمْ بِهَا ٱلْخَمْرَ، وَسَبَّحْتَ آلِهَةَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلنِّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ وَٱلْخَشَبِ وَٱلْحَجَرِ ٱلَّتِي لَا تُبْصِرُ وَلَا تَسْمَعُ وَلَا تَعْرِفُ. أَمَّا ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِهِ نَسَمَتُكَ، وَلَهُ كُلُّ طُرُقِكَ فَلَمْ تُمَجِّدْهُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
You have arrogantly defied the Lord of heaven and you had the cups and bowls of his Temple brought to you. You and your nobles, your wives and concubines, drank wine from them as you praised gods made of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone that can't see or hear or know anything. But you have not honored God who holds in his hand your very breath and everything you do.
| حِينَئِذٍ أُرْسِلَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ طَرَفُ ٱلْيَدِ، فَكُتِبَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكِتَابَةُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
That's why he sent the hand to write this message.
| وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْكِتَابَةُ ٱلَّتِي سُطِّرَتْ: مَنَا مَنَا تَقَيْلُ وَفَرْسِينُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
What was written on the wall was this: ‘Number, number, weigh, divide.’
| وَهَذَا تَفْسِيرُ ٱلْكَلَامِ: مَنَا، أَحْصَى ٱللهُ مَلَكُوتَكَ وَأَنْهَاهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Here is the meaning: Number—God has numbered your reign and brought it to an end.
| تَقَيْلُ، وُزِنْتَ بِٱلْمَوَازِينِ فَوُجِدْتَ نَاقِصًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
Weighed—you have been weighed on the balances and you were found lacking.
| فَرْسِ، قُسِمَتْ مَمْلَكَتُكَ وَأُعْطِيَتْ لِمَادِي وَفَارِسَ». | ٢٨ 28 |
Divided—your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and the Persians.”
| حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ أَنْ يُلْبِسُوا دَانِيآلَ ٱلْأَرْجُوانَ وَقِلَادَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ، وَيُنَادُوا عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ مُتَسَلِّطًا ثَالِثًا فِي ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Then Belshazzar gave the order and Daniel was clothed in purple and had a gold chain placed around his neck. He was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
| فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ قُتِلَ بَيْلْشَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، | ٣٠ 30 |
On that very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was killed
| فَأَخَذَ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ دَارِيُّوسُ ٱلْمَادِيُّ وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ سَنَةً. | ٣١ 31 |
and Darius the Mede was given the kingdom at the age of sixty-two.
