< Daniel 5 >

1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Mambo Bherishazari akaitira makurukota chiuru mabiko makuru akanwa waini pamwe chete navo.
2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink in them.
Bherishazari achiri kunwa waini yake, akarayira kuti vauyise midziyo yegoridhe neyesirivha iya yakanga yatorwa nababa vake Nebhukadhinezari kubva kutemberi yokuJerusarema, kuitira kuti mambo namakurukota ake, navakadzi vake uye navarongo vake vanwiremo.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
Saka vakauyisa midziyo yegoridhe yakanga yatorwa mutemberi yaMwari muJerusarema, uye mambo namakurukota ake, vakadzi vake navarongo vake vakanwira mairi.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Pavakanga vachinwa waini, vakarumbidza vamwari vegoridhe, vesirivha, vendarira, vesimbi, vamatanda nevamabwe.
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote opposite the lampstand upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Pakarepo minwe yoruoko rwomunhu yakaonekwa ikanyora pamadziro akanamwa, pedyo napachigadziko chomwenje mumuzinda wamambo. Mambo akatarisa chanza pachakanga chichinyora.
6 Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
Chiso chake chakashanduka akatsvukuruka uye akavhunduka zvikuru, mabvi ake akadedera uye makumbo ake akarukutika.
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation of it, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Mambo akadana vaya vamazango, vazivi vezvenyeredzi navavuki kuti vaunzwe ndokuti kuvarume ava vakachenjera veBhabhironi, “Ani naani anoverenga runyoro urwo uye akanditaurira zvarunoreva achapfekedzwa nguo dzepepuru uye nouketani hwegoridhe mumutsipa wake, uye achaitwa mutongi wapamusoro-soro wechitatu muumambo.”
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 of it.
Ipapo vakachenjera vose vamambo vakapinda, asi havana kugona kuverenga runyoro kana kutaurira mambo zvarwaireva.
9 Then was the king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were confused.
Saka Mambo Bherishazari akanyanya kutya uye uso hwake hukanyanya kutsvukuruka. Makurukota ake akakanganisika.
10 Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
Mambokadzi akati achinzwa inzwi ramambo namakurukota ake, akauya muimba yaiitirwa mabiko, akati, “Imi mambo, raramai nokusingaperi! Musatya! Regai kutsvukuruka kuuso kwenyu!
11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
Muumambo hwenyu muno murume ano mweya wavamwari vatsvene maari. Panguva yababa venyu iye akawanikwa achigona zviri mberi nezivo nouchenjeri hwakafanana nohwavamwari. Mambo Nebhukadhinezari baba venyu, ndati baba venyu imi mambo, vakamugadza kuti ave mukuru wenʼanga, nowevamazango, vazivi vezvenyeredzi navavuki.
12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, the interpreting of dreams, and declaring of hard 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.
Murume uyu Dhanieri, iye akatumidzwa zita rokuti Bheriteshazari namambo, akawanikwa aine pfungwa dzine shungu nezivo uye ano kunzwisisa, kugona kududzira kurota, nokutsanangura zvirahwe uye nokupedza matambudziko akaoma. Daidzai Dhanieri, uye iyeye achakuudzai zvinoreva runyoro.”
13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spoke and said to Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, who art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
Saka Dhanieri akauyiswa pamberi pamambo, mambo akati kwaari, “Ndiwe Dhanieri mumwe wavakatapwa nababa vangu mambo kubva kuJudha here?
14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
Ndanzwa kuti mweya wavamwari uri mauri uye kuti unoona zviri mberi, une zivo nouchenjeri hwapamusoro.
15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation of it: but they could not show the interpretation of the thing:
Vachenjeri nevamazango vakauyiswa pamberi pangu kuti vazoverenga runyoro urwu uye vagondiudza zvarunoreva, asi havana kugona kunditsanangurira.
16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation of it, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Zvino ndanzwa kuti unogona kupa dudziro uye unopedza matambudziko akaoma. Kana ukagona kuverenga runyoro uye ukanditaurira zvarunoreva, uchapfekedzwa nguo yepepuru, uchaiswa uketani hwegoridhe pamutsipa wako, uye uchaitwa mutongi wechitatu wapamusoro-soro muumambo.”
17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Ipapo Dhanieri akapindura mambo achiti, “Zvichengeterei henyu zvipo zvenyu uye mugopa mibayiro yenyu kuno mumwe. Kunyange zvakadaro, ndichaverengera mambo runyoro ndigomuudza zvarunoreva.”
18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
“Haiwa mambo, Mwari Wokumusoro-soro akapa baba venyu Nebhukadhinezari ushe, ukuru, kukudzwa nokubwinya.
19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
Nokuda kwechinzvimbo chakakwirira chaakamupa, vanhu vose nendudzi dzose navanhu vemitauro yose vakadedera uye vakamutya. Avo vaaida kuuraya, aiuraya, avo vaaida kuraramisa, airaramisa; avo vaaida kusimudzira, aisimudzira; uye avo vaaida kuninipisa, aininipisa.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
Asi mwoyo wake wakati wazvikudza uye waomeswa nokuzvikudza, akabviswa pachigaro chake choushe vakamutorera kukudzwa kwake.
21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomever he will.
Akadzingwa pakati pavanhu akapiwa pfungwa yemhuka; akagara pakati pembizi akadya uswa semombe; uye muviri wake ukanyoroveswa nedova rokudenga, kusvikira aziva kuti Mwari Wokumusoro-soro ndiye ishe pamusoro poushe hwavanhu uye kuti anogadza pamusoro pavo ani zvake waanoda.
22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this;
“Asi imi mwanakomana wake, imi Bherishazari, hamuna kuzvininipisa, kunyange maiziva henyu chinhu ichi.
23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, thou hast not glorified:
Pamusoro pezvo imi masarudza kurwa naIshe wokudenga. Maita kuti midziyo yegoridhe iuyiswe kwamuri ichibva kutemberi, uye imi namakurukota enyu, vakadzi venyu navarongo venyu manwira waini mairi. Marumbidza vamwari vesirivha, vegoridhe, vendarira, vesimbi, vamatanda nevamabwe, vasingagoni kuona, kunzwa kana kunzwisisa. Asi hamuna kukudza Mwari akabata muruoko rwake upenyu hwenyu nenzira dzenyu dzose.
24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Naizvozvo akatumira ruoko rwakanyora zvakanyorwa.
25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
“Izvi ndizvo zvakanyorwa: mene, mene, tekere, ufasini.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
“Hezvino zvinoreva mashoko aya: “Mene: Mwari akaverenga mazuva okutonga kwenyu akaagumisa.
27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
Tekere: Makayerwa pachiyero mukawanikwa makareruka.
28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Peresi: Umambo hwenyu hwakakamuraniswa hukapiwa vaMedhia navaPezhia.”
29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Ipapo Bherishazari akarayira kuti Dhanieri ashongedzwe nguo dzepepuru, ketani yegoridhe ikaiswa pamutsipa wake, zvikaziviswa kuti akanga ava mutongi wapamusoro wechitatu muumambo.
30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
Usiku ihwohwo Bherishazari, mambo wavaBhabhironi akaurayiwa,
31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about sixty and two years old.
Dhariasi muMedhia akatora umambo ane makore makumi matanhatu namaviri.
