< Daniel 5 >

1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Nanao sabadidake jabajaba t’i Belsatsare mpanjaka ho ami’ty arivo’ o roandria’eo vaho ninon-divay añ’atrefa’ i arivoy.
2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his wives and his secondary wives, might drink from them.
Naho nitsopek’ i divaiy t’i Belsatsare, le linili’e te hasese ama’e o fanake volamena naho volafoty nendesen-drae’e Nebokadnetsare boak’ amy kivohon’ Añahare e Ierosalaime añeio, hikamà’ o roandria’eo naho o vali’eo vaho o sakeza’eo.
3 Then they brought the gold and silver vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his secondary wives, drank from them.
Aa le na­sese mb’eo o fanake nendeseñe boak’ an-kivohon’ anjomban’ Añahare e Ierosa­laime añeo naho nikama ama’e i mpanjakay naho o roandria’eo naho o vali’eo vaho o sakeza’eo.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Ie nigenoke divay naho nandrenge o ‘ndrahare volamena naho volafoty, torisìke naho viñe vaho vatoo,
5 In the same hour came forth the fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
le nisodehañe eo amy zao ty rambo-pità’ ondaty, nanokitse aolo’ ty fitam-pailo amy pako’ i rindriñe añ’ anjombam-panjakay vaho niisa’ i mpanjakay ty ila’ i fitañe nanokitsey.
6 Then the king's face was turned pale, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs gave way, and his knees began knocking together.
Nikòfoty amy zao i mpanjakay naho nitsobore aze i fitsakorea’ey, nibalake ka ty kitambe an-toha’eo, vaho nifamango o ongo’eo.
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever shall read this writing, and show 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."
Nikoik’ amy zao i mpanjakay t’ie haneseañe ambiasa naho nte-Kasdý vaho mpitoky. Nisaon­tsy amo mahihi’ o Baveleo i mpanjakay ami’ty hoe: Ze mahavaky ty sokitse tiañe naho hanoro ahy i fandrazaña’ey, le ho sikinañe malò-mavo naho ho ravaheñe sili­sily volamena ty fititia’e, vaho ho mpifehe ty faha-telo’ ty fifeheañe toy.
8 Then came in all the king's wise men; but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
Songa niheo mb’eo ondaty mahihi’ i mpanjakaio, fe tsy nahavaky i soki­tsey, tsy nahabentatse i fandrazaña’ey amy mpanjakay.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his face turned pale, and his lords were perplexed.
Nangonotse amy zao t’i Belsatsare mpanjaka naho niova laharañe, vaho veren-draha o roandria’eo.
10 Now 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; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.
Ie amy saontsi’ i mpanjakay naho o roandria’eoy le nimoak’ amy efe-tsabadidakey ty vali’ i mpanjakay, le hoe ty enta’ i vali’ey, Ry mpanjaka, lava-havelo: ko ado’o hitsobore azo o vetsevetse’oo, ndra hikomavo o lahara’oo.
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; and king Nebuchadnezzar your father, your father the king, made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and diviners;
Am-pifehea’o ao t’indaty, le ama’e ty Arofon’ Añahare Masiñe; ie fahan-drae’o ty nitendrehañe hazavàñe, hilala naho hihitse; vaho manahake ty hilalan’ Añahare ty nizoeñe ama’e; ie ty nanoe’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka, rae’o, i rae’o mpanjakay, roandria ambone’ ze hene ambiasa naho mpañandro naho nte-Kasdy vaho mpitoky,
12 because an extraordinary spirit, and knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve knotty problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."
amy te nioniñe amy Daniele, i natao’ i mpanjakay Belsatsarey, ty arofo loho ambone, ty hilala mitiotiotse; rendre’e iaby ty nofy naho ty fandrazañañe naho ty fampiborahañe ze raha mietake, vaho ty fandevoñañe hakahaka. Aa le ampikanjio t’i Daniele, hanoro i fandrazaña’ey.
13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Are you that Daniel, who are of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
Aa le nasese añ’ atrefa’ i mpanjakay t’i Daniele naho hoe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay amy Daniele: Ihe hao i Daniele anam-pirohi’ Iehodà nendesen-draeko boake Iehodày?
14 I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and extraordinary wisdom are found in you.
Fa tsinanoko ty ama’o, te ama’o ty Arofon’ Añahare Masiñe, naho te nizoeñe ama’o ty hazavàñe naho ty faha­rendrehañe vaho ty hihitse ambone.
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.
Ie henaneo fa nasese amako o mahihitseo, naho o mpañandroo hamaky o sokitseo hampahafohiñe ahy ty fandrazaña’e, fe tsy naboa’ iareo amako ty famentabentarañ’ aze.
16 But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations, and solve problems. 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 about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
Aa le tsinanoko ty ama’o, te mahafita­roñe ty mietake, vaho mahafibalake ty sarotse; aa ie mahavaky i sokitsey naho mahaborake i fandra­zaña’ey amako, le hasaroñe malò-mavo, naho ho ravaheñe silisily volamena i fititia’o, vaho ho mpifehe faha-telo’ ty fifeheañe toy.
17 Then Daniel answered before the king, "Keep your gifts for yourself, and give your rewards to another; Nevertheless I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Hoe ty natoi’ i Daniele añatrefa’ i mpanjakay, Tano ama’o o tambeo naho atoloro ami’ty ila’e o ravoravoo fe ho vakieko ama’o o sokitseo, ry mpanjaka, vaho ho razañeko ama’o.
18 You king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
Ry mpanjakao, Natolon’ Añahare Andindimoneñe ao amy Nebokadnetsare rae’o ty fifeheañe naho ty volonahetse, naho ty engeñe vaho ty fikantsoñañe;
19 And because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he would he killed, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.
le amy volonahetse natolotse azey ty nampañeveñe naho nampihondrahondra ze kilakila ondaty naho fifeheañe naho fameleke añatrefa’e; le navetra’e ze satri’e, naho nitana’e ho veloñe ze satri’e, le naonjo’e ze satri’e, vaho nafotsa’e ze satri’e.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was removed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.
F’ie nitoabotse ty arofo’e naho nihagàñe am-pirengevohañe ty tro’e, vaho nitoloñe an-kavokavoke, le nafo­tsak’ amy fiambesam-pifehea’ey vaho nasintak’ ama’e ty enge’e
21 And he was driven from the sons of men, and his mind 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 wants.
le rinoake boak’ amo ana’ ondatio naho nampindrezeñe amo bibio ty arofo’e, naho amo bo­rike li-io ty akiba’e; nampikaman’ aze ty ahetse hoe añombe, naho nampandroe’ i zonon-dikerañey ty fañova’e ampara’ te nifohi’e te felehen’ Añahare o fifehea’ ondatio vaho ampijadoñe’e ho mpifehe ze satri’e.
22 You his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
Fa ihe ry Belsatsare, ana’e, tsy nampireke arofo ndra te hene nifohi’o;
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 secondary wives, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor know. And the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.
te mone nitroatse hiatreatre i Talèn-dike­rañey naho nasese añatrefa’o eo o fana’ i anjomba’eio naho songa ninon-divay ama’e rehe naho o roandria’oo, o vali’oo naho o sakeza’oo; le nirengè’o o ‘ndrahare volamena naho volafoty, an-torisìke, hatae naho vato, ze tsy mahatrea, tsy mahatsanoñe. tsy maharendrekeo, vaho mbe lia’e tsy niasia’o t’i Andrianañahare, ie hene am-pità’e ao ty fiai’o naho o fitoloña’oo.
24 Then was the part of the hand sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
Aa le nampañitrifeñe boak’ añatrefa’e ty lela-pitañe, vaho nisokireñe o ­sokitseo.
25 This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
Le izao ty sokitse nipatere’e: Mene, Mene, Tekele, Parase.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God has numbered your kingdom, and brought it to an end;
Inao ty fan­drazañañ’aze: Mene: Vinolilin’ Añahare ty fifehea’o vaho nagado’e.
27 TEKEL; you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
Tekèle: Linanja’ am-pandanjan-drehe vaho nizoeñe te tomotse.
28 PERES; your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."
Parase: fa zinara’ i fifeheañey vaho natolotse amo nte-Maday naho nte-Paraseo.
29 Then commanded Belshazzar, 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.
Aa le namantoke t’i Belsatsare, vaho nisikina’ iareo malò-mavo t’i Daniele, naho niravaheñe silisily volamena ty am-pititia’e eo, vaho nitsey ty ama’e t’ie ro mpifehe faha-telo’ i fifeheañey.
30 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
Amy haleñey te navetrake i Belsatsare mpanjàka’ o nte-Kasdìo.
31 Daryavesh the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
Nandrambe i fifeheañey ami’ty tao’e faha-enempolo-ro’amby t’i Dariavese.
