< Daniel 5 >

1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Валтасар царь сотвори вечерю велию вельможам своим тысящи мужем,
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.
пред тысящею же вино, и пия Валтасар рече при вкушении вина, еже принести сосуды златы и сребряны, яже изнесе Навуходоносор отец его из храма (Господа Бога), иже во Иерусалиме, и да пиют в них царь и вельможи его, и наложницы его и возлежащыя (окрест) его.
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.
И принесоша сосуды златыя и сребряныя, яже изнесе (Навуходоносор царь) из храма Господа Бога, иже во Иерусалиме: и пияху ими царь и вельможи его, и наложницы его и возлежащыя (окрест) его:
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
пияху вино и похвалиша боги златыя и сребряныя, и медяныя и железныя, и древяныя и каменныя, а Бога вечнаго не благословиша, имущаго власть духа их.
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.
В той час изыдоша персты руки человечи и писаху противу лампады на поваплении стены дому царева, и царь видяше персты руки пишущия.
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.
Тогда царю зрак изменися, и размышления его смущаху его, и соузы чресл его разслабляхуся, и колена его сражастася:
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Kasdim, 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.”
и возопи царь силою, еже ввести волхвов, Халдеев, газаринов: и рече царь мудрым Вавилонским: иже прочтет писание сие и разум его возвестит мне, той в багряницу облечется, и гривна златая на выю его, и третий во царстве моем обладати начнет.
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.
И вхождаху вси мудрии ко царю и не можаху писания прочести, ни разума царю возвестити.
9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
Царь же Валтасар возмятеся, и зрак его изменися на нем, и вельможи его смущахуся.
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.
И вниде царица в дом пирный, и рече царица: царю во веки живи: да не смущают тебе размышления твоя, и зрак твой да не изменяется:
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, Kasdim, and soothsayers,
есть муж во царстве твоем, в немже дух Божий: и во дни отца твоего бодрость и смысл обретеся в нем, и царь Навуходоносор отец твой князя постави его волхвом, обаятелем, Халдеем, газарином,
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.”
яко дух преизюбилный (бяше) в нем, и премудрость и смысл (обретеся) в нем, сказуя сны и возвещая сокровенная и разрешая соузы, Даниил, и царь нарече имя ему Валтасар: ныне убо да призовется, и сказание его возвестит тебе.
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?
Тогда Даниил введен бысть пред царя. И рече царь Даниилу: ты лиеси Даниил, от сынов пленник Иудейских, ихже приведе Навуходоносор царь отец мой?
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.
Слышах о тебе, яко дух Божий в тебе, и бодрость и смысл и премудрость изюбилна обретеся в тебе:
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.
и ныне внидоша пред мя мудрии, волсви, газарини, да писание сие прочтут и сказания его возвестят ми, и не могоша возвестити мне:
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.”
аз же слышах о тебе, яко можеши суды сказати: ныне убо аще возможеши ппсание сие прочести и сказание его возвестити мне, в багряницу облечешися, и гривна златая на выи твоей будет, и третий во царстве моем обладати будеши.
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.
Тогда отвеща Даниил и рече пред царем: даяния: твоя с тобою да будут, и дар дому твоего иному даждь, аз же писание прочту царю и сказание его возвещу тебе.
18 “To you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
Царю! Бог Вышний царство и величество, и честь и славу даде Навуходоносору отцу твоему,
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.
и от величества, еже ему даде, вси людие, племена, языцы бяху трепещуще и боящеся от лица его: ихже хотяше убиваше, и ихже хотяше бияше, и ихже хотяше возвышаше, и ихже хотяше, той смиряше:
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.
и егда вознесеся сердце его и утвердися дух его еже презорствовати, сведеся от престола царства, и слава и честь отяся от него,
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.
и от человек отгнася, и сердце его со зверьми отдася, и житие его со дивиими ослы, и травою аки вола питаху его, и от росы небесныя оросися тело его, дондеже уразуме, яко владеет Бог Вышний царством человеческим, и емуже хощет, даст е.
22 “You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
И ты убо, сыне его Валтасаре, не смирил еси сердца твоего пред Господем: не вся ли сия ведал еси?
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.
Но на Господа Бога небеснаго вознеслся еси, и сосуды храма Его принесоша пред тебе, ты же и вельможи твои, и наложницы твоя и возлежащыя (окрест) тебе, вино пиясте ими: и боги златыя и сребряныя, и медяныя и железныя, и каменныя и древяныя, иже ни видят, ни слышат, ни разумеют, похвалил еси, а Бога, у Негоже дыхание твое в руце Его, и вси путие твои, Того не прославил еси.
24 Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
Сего ради от лица Его послани быша персты ручнии и писание сие вчиниша.
25 “This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
Се же есть писание вчиненое: мани, фекел, фарес.
26 “This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
Се сказание глагола: мани, измери Бог царство твое и сконча е:
27 TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
фекел, поставися в мерилех и обретеся лишаемо:
28 PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
фарес, разделися царство твое и дадеся Мидом и Персом.
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.
И рече Валтасар: (облецыте и). И облекоша Даниила в багряницу, и гривну златую возложиша на выю его, и проповеда о нем, еже быти ему князю третиему во царстве его.
30 In that night Belshazzar the Kasdian King was slain.
Валтасара царя Халдейска убиша в ту нощь,
31 Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
Дарий же Мидянин прия царство, сый шестидесяти и двою лет.
