Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, drinking wine before the thousand.
Belsazara mpanjaka nanao fanasana lehibe ho an’ ny mpanolo-tsainy arivo lahy, ary teo anatrehan’ ireny no nisotroany divay.
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.
Nony efa nisotro divay Belsazara, dia nasainy nalaina ny fanaka volamena sy volafotsy izay nalain’ i Nebokadnezara rainy avy tao amin’ ny tempoly tany Jerosalema, mba hisotroan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanolotsainy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny vaditsindranony.
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.
Dia nentiny ny fanaka volamena izay nalaina avy teo amin’ ny tempolin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra tany Jerosalema, ary ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanolo-tsainy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny vaditsindranony nisotro taminy.
4 They took their wine and gave praise to the gods of gold and silver, of brass and iron and wood and stone.
Eny, nisotro divay izy sady nankalaza ny andriamanitra volamena sy volafotsy sy varahina sy vy sy hazo ary vato.
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.
Tamin’ izay dia nisy rantsan-tànan’ olona niseho ka nanoratra tandrifin’ ny jiro tamin’ ny lalotra sokay teo amin’ ny rindrin’ ny lapan’ ny mpanjaka; ary ny mpanjaka nahita ilay rantsan-tanana nanoratra.
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.
Dia nivaloarika ny tarehin’ ny mpanjaka, ary naharaiki-tahotra azy ny eritreriny, ka dia nivahavaha ny valahany, sady niady ny lohaliny.
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.
Dia niantso mafy ny mpanjaka hampiditra ny mpisikidy sy ny Kaldeana ary ny mpanandro. Ary ny mpanjaka niteny ka nanao tamin’ ny olon-kendrin’ i Babylona hoe: Na zovy na zovy no mahavaky io soratra io sady milaza ny heviny amiko dia hampiakanjoina volomparasy, sy hasiana rojo volamena ny vozony, ary ho isan’ ny mpanapaka telo lahy amin’ ny fanjakana izy.
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.
Dia niditra avokoa ny olon-kendrin’ ny mpanjaka, nefa tsy nisy nahavaky ny soratra na nampahalala ny mpanjaka ny heviny.
9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled and the colour went from his face, and his lords were at a loss.
Dia natahotra indrindra Belsazara mpanjaka, ka nivaloarika ny tarehiny, ary vaka terỳ ny mpanolo-tsainy.
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:
Ary ny renin’ ny mpanjaka niditra tao amin’ ny trano fanasana noho ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanolo-tsainy; dia niteny ny renin’ ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Ry mpanjaka ô, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao, aoka tsy haharaiki-tahotra anao ny eritreritrao, na hivaloarika ny tarehinao.
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;
Misy lehilahy ato amin’ ny fanjakanao izay manana fanahin’ ireo andriamanitra masìna ao anatiny; ary fony fahavelon-drainao dia hita fa nisy fahazavan-tsaina sy fahalalana ary fahendrena tao aminy tahaka ny fahendren’ ireo andriamanitra; ka nataon’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka rainao, dia ny mpanjaka rainao, hoy izaho, ho lehiben’ ny ombiasy sy ny mpisikidy sy ny Kaldeana ary ny mpanandro izy;
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.
fa fanahy hendry sy fahalalana sy saina ary fahaiza-milaza nofy sy fanambarana teny sarotra sy fampisehoana hevitra miafina no hita tao amin’ izany Daniela izany, izay nomen’ ny mpanjaka anarana hoe Beltesazara, koa aoka hantsoina Daniela, fa holazainy ny hevitry ny teny.
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.
Dia nampidirina teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka Daniela. Ary ny mpanjaka niteny ka nanao tamin’ i Daniela hoe: Hianao mantsy no Daniela, ilay isan’ ny babo avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, izay nentin’ ny mpanjaka raiko avy tany Joda.
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.
Efa reko ny aminao, fa ianao manana fanahin’ ireo andriamanitra sady misy fahazavan-tsaina sy fahalalana ary fahendrena tsara hita ao aminao.
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:
Ary vao teo dia efa nampidirina teto anatrehako ny olon-kendry sy ny mpisikidy hamaky io soratra io sy hampahafantatra ahy ny heviny; fa tsy nahalaza ny hevitry ny teny izy;
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.
ary efa reko ny aminao, fa ianao no mahalaza hevitra sy mahay mampiseho hevitra miafina; koa raha mahavaky ny soratra sy mampahafantatra ahy ny heviny ianao, dia hampiakanjoina volomparasy, sy hasiana rofo volamena ny vozonao, ary ho isan’ ny mpanapaka telo lahy amin’ ny fanjakana ianao.
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.
Dia namaly Daniela ka nanao teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Aoka ihany ho anao ny fanomezanao, ary ny valim-pitianao omeo ny hafa; nefa hovakiko amin’ ny mpanjaka ihany ny soratra, ary hampahafantariko azy ny heviny.
18 As for you, O King, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, the kingdom and great power and glory and honour:
Ny aminao, ry mpanjaka ô, Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra efa nanome fanjakana sy fahalehibiazana sy voninahitra ary laza an’ i Nebokadnezara rainao;
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.
ary noho ny fahalehibiazana izay nomeny azy, ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena ary ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra dia nangovitra sy natahotra teo anatrehany; izay tiany hovonoina dia novonoiny; ary izay tiany hovelomina dia novelominy; ary izay tiany hasandratra dia nasandrany; ary izay tiany haetry dia naetriny.
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:
Fa nony niavonavona kosa ny fony, ary nikikitra tamin’ ny fireharehana ny fanahiny, dia naetry niala tamin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakany izy, ary ny voninahiny nesorina taminy;
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.
dia noroahina niala tamin’ ny zanak’ olombelona izy; ary ny fony natao tahaka ny an’ ny biby, ary ny fonenany tany amin’ ny boriki-dia, dia nampihinanina ahitra toy ny omby izy, ary kotsan’ ny andon’ ny lanitra ny tenany, ambara-pahafantany fa Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra no manapaka amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny olona, ary izay tiany no tendreny ho mpanjakany.
22 And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not kept your heart free from pride, though you had knowledge of all this;
Ary ianao, ry Belsazara zanany, dia tsy mba nampietry ny fonao, na dia fantatrao aza izany rehetra izany;
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;
fa niavonavona tamin’ ny Tompon’ ny lanitra ianao; ary ny fanaky ny tranon’ Andriamanitra dia nentina eto anatrehanao, ary ianao sy ny mpanolo-tsainao sy ny vadinao mbamin’ ny vaditsindranonao nisotro divay taminy; ary ianao nankalaza ny andriamanitra volafotsy sy volamena sy varahina sy vy sy hazo ary vato, izay tsy mahita, na mandre, na mahalala; fa Andriamanitra Izay mitana ny ainao sady Tompon’ ny alehanao rehetra dia tsy mba nankalazainao.
24 Then the part of the hand was sent out from before him, and this writing was recorded.
Ary noho izany dia Izy no nihavian’ ilay rantsan-tanana, ka voasoratra ireo teny ireo.
25 And this is the writing which was recorded, Mene, tekel, peres.
Ary ny teny voasoratra dia izao: Mene, Mene, Tekela, Oparesina.
26 This is the sense of the words: Mene; your kingdom has been numbered by God and ended.
Izao no hevitry ny teny: Mene, voaisan’ Andriamanitra ny nanjakanao ka taperiny amin’ izao;
27 Tekel; you have been put in the scales and seen to be under weight.
Tekela, efa voalanja tamin’ ny mizana ianao ka, indro, latsa-danja;
28 Peres; your kingdom has been cut up and given to the Medes and Persians.
Paresa, zarazaraina ny fanjakanao ka omena ho an’ ny Mediana sy ny Persiana.
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.
Ary Belsazara dia nanome teny, ka dia nampiakanjoina volomparasy Daniela, sady nasiana rojo volamena ny vozony, ary nisy niantso azy ho isan’ ny mpanapaka telo lahy amin’ ny fanjakana.
30 That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, was put to death.
Ary tamin’ io alina io ihany dia novonoina Belsazara, mpanjakan’ ny Kaldeana.
31 And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being then about sixty-two years old.
Ary Dariosa Mediana no nandray ny fanjakana, rehefa tokony ho roa amby enim-polo taona no andro niainany.
