Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Kabaka Berusazza n’agabula embaga nnene eri abakungu be lukumi, ne banywa omwenge naye.
2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded that the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem be brought to him, that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink from them.
Awo Berusazza, yali ng’anywa omwenge, n’atumya ebikompe ebya zaabu n’ebya ffeeza, Nebukadduneeza kitaawe bye yaggya mu yeekaalu mu Yerusaalemi, ye n’abakungu be, n’abakyala be n’abazaana be babinyweremu.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of God’s house which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.
Era ne baleeta ebikompe ebya zaabu n’ebya ffeeza ebyaggyibwa mu yeekaalu ya Katonda mu Yerusaalemi, kabaka n’abakungu be, n’abakyala be n’abazaana be ne babinyweramu.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Ne banywa omwenge ne batandika okutendereza bakatonda aba zaabu n’aba ffeeza, n’ab’ebikomo, n’ab’ekyuma, n’ab’emiti n’ab’amayinja.
5 In the same hour, the fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote near the lamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace. The king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Mu kiseera ekyo ne walabika engalo z’omukono gw’omuntu ne ziwandiika ku kisenge okuliraana ettaala mu lubiri lwa kabaka; kabaka n’alaba ekibatu ky’omukono nga kiwandiika.
6 Then the king’s face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one against another.
Entunula ye n’ekyuka, n’atya nnyo, n’amaviivi ge ne gakubagana n’amagulu ge ne galemererwa okumuwanirira.
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and shows me its interpretation shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
Kabaka n’alagira mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka baleete abafumu, n’Abakaludaaya, n’abalaguzi. Kabaka n’agamba abasajja abagezigezi abo ab’e Babulooni nti, “Omuntu yenna anaasoma ekiwandiiko ekyo, n’antegeeza amakulu gaakyo, alyambazibwa engoye ez’effulungu era alyambazibwa omukuufu ogwa zaabu mu bulago, era aliba mukulu owa waggulu ow’ekifo ekyokusatu mu bwakabaka.”
8 Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and couldn’t make known to the king the interpretation.
Awo abasajja ba kabaka abagezigezi bonna ne bajja, naye ne balemwa okusoma ekiwandiiko ekyo newaakubadde okutegeeza kabaka amakulu gaakyo.
9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
Kabaka Berusazza ne yeeyongera nnyo okweraliikirira, n’entunula ye ne yeeyongera okukyuka; n’abakungu be amagezi ne gababula.
10 The queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house. The queen spoke and said, “O king, live forever; don’t let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.
Awo muka kabaka bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyatuuka ku kabaka n’abakungu be, n’agenda mu kisenge ekinene embaga mwe yali n’ayogera nti, “Ayi kabaka, owangaale! Leka kweraliikirira, so tokeŋŋentererwa.
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 understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king, Nebuchadnezzar, your father—yes, the king, your father—made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers,
Waliwo omusajja mu bwakabaka bwo alimu omwoyo gwa bakatonda abatukuvu. Mu mirembe gya kitaawo yasangibwa okuba n’okutegeera, n’amagezi, ng’aga bakatonda, era Kabaka Nebukadduneeza kitaawo, n’amufuula omukulu w’abasawo, n’abafumu, n’Abakaludaaya, n’abalaguzi.
12 because an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, showing of dark 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.”
Omusajja oyo Danyeri, kabaka gwe yatuuma Berutesazza, yasangibwa ng’alina omwoyo ogw’okutegeera, n’okumanya, n’okulootolola ebirooto, n’okubikkula ebigambo eby’ekyama, n’okutta ebibuuzo ebizibu ennyo. Kale Danyeri ayitibwe, anaakutegeeza amakulu g’ekiwandiiko.”
13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
Awo Danyeri n’aleetebwa mu maaso ga kabaka, kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Danyeri, omu ku abo abaaleetebwa kabaka kitange mu buwaŋŋanguse okuva mu Yuda?
14 I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are found in you.
Bantegeezezza ng’omwoyo wa bakatonda abatukuvu ali mu ggwe, era olaba ebitalabibwa bantu abaabulijjo, otegeera era oli w’amagezi amasukkirivu.
15 Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.
Abasajja abagezigezi, n’abafumu baaleeteddwa mu maaso gange basome ekiwandiiko ekyo era bantegeeze n’amakulu gaakyo, naye balemeddwa okukinnyonnyola.
16 But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and dissolve doubts. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
Naye ntegeezeddwa, ng’oyinza okunnyonnyola amakulu g’ebigambo ebizibu. Kaakano bw’ononsomera ekiwandiiko ekyo, era n’ontegeeza n’amakulu gaakyo, onooyambazibwa engoye ez’effulungu n’omukuufu ogwa zaabu mu bulago, era oliba mukulu owookusatu mu bwakabaka.”
17 Then Daniel answered before the king, “Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Awo Danyeri n’addamu kabaka nti, “Ebirabo byo byeterekere, n’empeera yo ogiwe omuntu omulala. Naye nzija kukusomera ekiwandiiko era nkutegeeze n’amakulu gaakyo.
18 “To you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
“Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo yawa Nebukadduneeza kitaawo obwakabaka, n’obuyinza, n’ekitiibwa n’obukulu, ayi kabaka;
19 Because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he wanted to, and he kept alive whom he wanted to. He raised up whom he wanted to, and he put down whom he wanted to.
era olw’obuyinza bwe yamuwa, abantu bonna n’amawanga gonna n’abantu ab’ennimi zonna baamutyanga era ne bakankana mu maaso ge. Abo kabaka be yayagalanga battibwe, battibwanga; n’abo be yasonyiwanga, baasonyiyibwanga; n’abo be yayagalanga okugulumiza bagulumizibwanga, n’abo be yayagalanga okutoowaza, baatoowazibwanga.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.
Naye omutima gwe bwe gwegulumiza ne gukakanyala olw’amalala ge, yaggyibwa ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, n’ekitiibwa kye ne kimuggyibwako.
21 He was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
N’agobebwa mu bantu, n’ebirowoozo bye ne biwaanyisibwa n’aba ng’ensolo ey’omu nsiko, n’abeera wamu n’endogoyi ez’omu nsiko, n’alya omuddo ng’ente, n’omubiri gwe ne gutoba omusulo ogw’eggulu, okutuusa lwe yategeera nga Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo, y’afuga obwakabaka bw’abantu, era y’ateekawo buli gw’asiima.
22 “You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
“Naye ggwe mutabani we, Berusazza, teweetoowazizza mu mutima newaakubadde ng’ebyo byonna wabimanya.
23 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 from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.
Weegulumizizza eri Mukama w’eggulu; ebikompe ebyaggyibwa mu yeekaalu ye, obitumizzaayo; era ggwe, n’abakungu bo, n’abakyala bo, n’abazaana bo mubinywereddemu omwenge, n’oluvannyuma ne mutandika okutendereza bakatonda aba ffeeza, n’aba zaabu, n’ab’ebikomo, n’ab’ebyuma, n’ab’emiti, n’ab’amayinja abatayinza kulaba newaakubadde okuwulira newaakubadde okutegeera. Naye Katonda oyo alina omukka gwo mu ngalo ze, era amanyi engeri zo zonna, tomugulumizizza.
24 Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
Kale kyeyavudde akusindikira omukono ogwawandiise ebigambo ebyo.
25 “This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
“Era ebigambo ebyawandiikiddwa bye bino nti: mene, mene, tekel, ufarsin.
26 “This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
“N’amakulu gaabyo ge gano: “Mene: Katonda akendezezza ennaku z’obwakabaka bwo era abukomezza.
27 TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
“Tekel: Opimiddwa ku minzaani, era osangiddwa ng’obulako;
28 PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
“Peres: Obwakabaka bwo bugabanyiziddwamu, era buweereddwa Abameedi n’Abaperusi.”
29 Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Awo amangwago Berusazza n’alagira Danyeri ayambazibwe engoye ez’effulungu, era bamwambaze omukuufu ogwa zaabu, era n’ekiragiro ne kiyita nga bw’ali omukulembeze owookusatu mu bwakabaka.
30 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
Ekiro ekyo Berusazza kabaka w’Abakaludaaya n’attibwa.
31 Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
Daliyo Omumeedi n’alya obwakabaka nga wa myaka nkaaga mu ebiri.
