Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, drinking wine before the thousand.
伯沙撒王为他的一千大臣设摆盛筵，与这一千人对面饮酒。
2 Belshazzar, while he was overcome with wine, gave orders for them to put before him the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem; so that the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, might take their drink from them.
伯沙撒欢饮之间，吩咐人将他父尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷殿中所掠的金银器皿拿来，王与大臣、皇后、妃嫔好用这器皿饮酒。
3 Then they took in the gold and silver vessels which had been in the Temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, took wine from them.
于是他们把耶路撒冷 神殿库房中所掠的金器皿拿来，王和大臣、皇后、妃嫔就用这器皿饮酒。
4 They took their wine and gave praise to the gods of gold and silver, of brass and iron and wood and stone.
他们饮酒，赞美金、银、铜、铁、木、石所造的神。
5 In that very hour the fingers of a man's hand were seen, writing opposite the support for the light on the white wall of the king's house, and the king saw the part of the hand which was writing.
当时，忽有人的指头显出，在王宫与灯台相对的粉墙上写字。王看见写字的指头
6 Then the colour went from the king's face, and he was troubled by his thoughts; strength went from his body, and his knees were shaking.
就变了脸色，心意惊惶，腰骨好像脱节，双膝彼此相碰，
7 The king, crying out with a loud voice, said that the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs, were to be sent for. The king made answer and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever is able to make out this writing, and make clear to me the sense of it, will be clothed in purple and have a chain of gold round his neck, and will be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.
大声吩咐将用法术的和迦勒底人并观兆的领进来，对巴比伦的哲士说，谁能读这文字，把讲解告诉我，他必身穿紫袍，项带金链，在我国中位列第三。
8 Then all the king's wise men came in: but they were not able to make out the writing or give the sense of it to the king.
于是王的一切哲士都进来，却不能读那文字，也不能把讲解告诉王。
9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled and the colour went from his face, and his lords were at a loss.
伯沙撒王就甚惊惶，脸色改变，他的大臣也都惊奇。
10 The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the house of the feast: the queen made answer and said, O King, have life for ever; do not be troubled by your thoughts or let the colour go from your face:
太后因王和他大臣所说的话，就进入宴宫，说：“愿王万岁！你心意不要惊惶，脸面不要变色。
11 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 reason like the wisdom of the gods were seen in him: and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him master of the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs;
在你国中有一人，他里头有圣神的灵，你父在世的日子，这人心中光明，又有聪明智慧，好像神的智慧。你父尼布甲尼撒王，就是王的父，立他为术士、用法术的，和迦勒底人，并观兆的领袖。
12 Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he will make clear the sense of the writing.
在他里头有美好的灵性，又有知识聪明，能圆梦，释谜语，解疑惑。这人名叫但以理，尼布甲尼撒王又称他为伯提沙撒，现在可以召他来，他必解明这意思。”
13 Then they took Daniel in before the king; the king made answer and said to Daniel, So you are that Daniel, of the prisoners of Judah, whom my father took out of Judah.
但以理就被领到王前。王问但以理说：“你是被掳之犹大人中的但以理吗？就是我父王从犹大掳来的吗？
14 And I have had news of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and reason and special wisdom have been seen in you.
我听说你里头有神的灵，心中光明，又有聪明和美好的智慧。
15 And now the wise men, the users of secret arts, have been sent in before me for the purpose of reading this writing and making clear to me the sense of it: but they are not able to make clear the sense of the thing:
现在哲士和用法术的都领到我面前，为叫他们读这文字，把讲解告诉我，无奈他们都不能把讲解说出来。
16 And I have had news of you, that you have the power of making things clear, and of answering hard questions: now if you are able to make out the writing and give me the sense of it, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain round your neck and be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.
我听说你善于讲解，能解疑惑；现在你若能读这文字，把讲解告诉我，就必身穿紫袍，项戴金链，在我国中位列第三。”
17 Then Daniel made answer and said to the king, Keep your offerings for yourself, and give your rewards to another; but I, after reading the writing to the king, will give him the sense of it.
但以理在王面前回答说：“你的赠品可以归你自己，你的赏赐可以归给别人；我却要为王读这文字，把讲解告诉王。
18 As for you, O King, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, the kingdom and great power and glory and honour:
王啊，至高的 神曾将国位、大权、荣耀、威严赐与你父尼布甲尼撒；
19 And because of the great power he gave him, all peoples and nations and languages were shaking in fear before him: some he put to death and others he kept living, at his pleasure, lifting up some and putting others down as it pleased him.
因 神所赐他的大权，各方、各国、各族的人都在他面前战兢恐惧。他可以随意生杀，随意升降。
20 But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became hard with pride, he was put down from his place as king, and they took his glory from him:
但他心高气傲，灵也刚愎，甚至行事狂傲，就被革去王位，夺去荣耀。
21 And he was sent out from among the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts', and he was living with the asses of the fields; he had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he was certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives power over it to anyone at his pleasure.
他被赶出离开世人，他的心变如兽心，与野驴同居，吃草如牛，身被天露滴湿，等他知道至高的 神在人的国中掌权，凭自己的意旨立人治国。
22 And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not kept your heart free from pride, though you had knowledge of all this;
伯沙撒啊，你是他的儿子，你虽知道这一切，你心仍不自卑，
23 But you have been lifting yourself up against the Lord of heaven, and they have put the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your women, have taken wine in them; and you have given praise to gods of silver and gold, of brass and iron and wood and stone, who are without the power of seeing or hearing, and without knowledge: and to the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not given glory;
竟向天上的主自高，使人将他殿中的器皿拿到你面前，你和大臣、皇后、妃嫔用这器皿饮酒。你又赞美那不能看、不能听、无知无识、金、银、铜、铁、木、石所造的神，却没有将荣耀归与那手中有你气息，管理你一切行动的 神。
24 Then the part of the hand was sent out from before him, and this writing was recorded.
因此从 神那里显出指头来写这文字。
25 And this is the writing which was recorded, Mene, tekel, peres.
“所写的文字是：‘弥尼，弥尼，提客勒，乌法珥新。’
26 This is the sense of the words: Mene; your kingdom has been numbered by God and ended.
讲解是这样：弥尼，就是 神已经数算你国的年日到此完毕。
27 Tekel; you have been put in the scales and seen to be under weight.
提客勒，就是你被称在天平里，显出你的亏欠。
28 Peres; your kingdom has been cut up and given to the Medes and Persians.
毗勒斯，就是你的国分裂，归与米底亚人和波斯人。”
29 Then, by the order of Belshazzar, they put a purple robe on Daniel, and a gold chain round his neck, and a public statement was made that he was to be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.
伯沙撒下令，人就把紫袍给但以理穿上，把金链给他戴在颈项上，又传令使他在国中位列第三。
30 That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, was put to death.
当夜，迦勒底王伯沙撒被杀。
31 And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being then about sixty-two years old.
米底亚人大流士年六十二岁，取了迦勒底国。
