< Daniel 5 >

1 Nangbuangay ni Belsazar nga ari iti dakkel a padaya para iti sangaribu a natakneng a tattaona, ket imminom isuna iti arak iti sangoananda amin a sangaribu.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Kabayatan a ramramanan ni Belsazar ti arak, pinaalana dagiti tasa a naaramid iti balitok wenno pirak nga innala ni Nebucadnesar nga amana iti templo idiay Jerusalem, a paginumanna, dagiti natakneng a tattaona, ken dagiti assawana ken dagiti inkabbalayna.
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.
3 Impan dagiti adipen dagiti balitok a tasa nga innala ni Nebucadnesar iti templo, a balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem. Imminom manipud kadagitoy ti ari, dagiti natakneng a tattaona, ken dagiti assawana ken inkabbalayna.
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.
4 Ininomda ti arak ken dinayawda dagiti didiosenda a naaramid iti balitok ken pirak, bronse, landok, kayo ken bato.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Iti dayta a tiempo nagparang dagiti ramay ti ima ti maysa a tao iti sango iti pagsilawan ket nagsurat iti napalitadaan a diding iti palasio ti ari. Makitkita ti ari ti paset ti ima bayat nga agsursurat daytoy.
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.
6 Ket nagbaliw ti rupa ti ari ket nagbuteng isuna; saan isuna a matengngel dagiti sakana, ken agkutkutokot dagiti tumengna.
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.
7 Impukkaw nga imbilin ti ari a pastrekenda dagiti mangibagbaga a makasaritada dagiti natay, dagiti nasirib a lallaki, ken dagiti astrologo. Kinuna ti ari kadagiti nalatak gapu iti kinasiribda idiay Babilonia, “Ti siasinoman a makaipalawag iti daytoy a surat ken ti kaipapananna ket makawesanto iti lila ken makuentasanto iti balitok. Maaddaanto isuna iti turay a kas maikatlo a kangangatoan a mangituray iti pagarian.”
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.”
8 Ket simrek dagiti amin a tattao ti ari a nalatak gapu iti kinasiribda, ngem saanda a mabasa ti surat wenno mailawlawag iti ari ti kaipapanan daytoy.
Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and could not make known to the king the interpretation.
9 Ket nagdanag ti kasta unay ni Ari Belsazar ket nagbaliw ti langa ti rupana. Nariribukan dagiti nalatak a tattaona.
Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
10 Ita, simrek ti reyna nga ina ni Belsazar iti balay a pagrarambakan gapu iti kinuna ti ari ken dagiti natakneng a tattao. Kinuna ti reyna nga ina ni Belsazar, “O Ari, agbiagka iti agnanayon! Saanka koma a mariribukan. Saanmo koma nga ipalubos nga agbaliw ti langam.
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.
11 Adda maysa a tao iti pagariam nga addaan iti espiritu dagiti nasantoan a didios. Kadagiti aldaw ni amam, masarakan kenkuana ti lawag, pannakaawat ken kinasirib a kasla iti sirib dagiti didios. Pinagbalin isuna ni Ari Nebucadnesar, ti amam nga ari, a panguloen dagiti salamangkero, kasta met a panguloen dagiti mangibagbaga a makasaritada dagiti natay, dagiti nasirib a lallaki, ken dagiti astrologo.
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,
12 Adda naisangsangayan a kabaelanna, pannakaammo, pannakaawat, mangipalawag iti kaipapanan dagiti tagtagainep, mangipalawag kadagiti burburtia ken mangrisut kadagiti parikut—masarakan dagitoy a kababalin kenni Daniel, a pinanaganan ti ari iti Beltesazar. Ita paayabam ni Daniel ket ibagananto kenka ti kayat a sawen ti naisurat.”
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.”
13 Ket naipan ni Daniel iti sangoanan ti ari. Kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Sika dayta a Daniel, a maysa kadagiti tattao a naipanaw a kas balud ti Juda, nga inruar ti amak nga ari manipud iti Juda.
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?
14 Nangngegko ti maipapan kenka, nga adda kenka ti espiritu dagiti didios, ken masarakan kenka ti lawag, pannakaawat ken naisangsangayan a kinasirib.
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.
15 Ket ita, naiyeg iti sangoanak dagiti lallaki a nalatak gapu iti kinasiribda ken dagiti mangibagbaga a makasaritada dagiti natay tapno basaenda daytoy a naisurat ken tapno maipakaammo kaniak iti kaipapananna daytoy, ngem saanda a maibaga ti kaipapananna.
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.
16 Nadamagko a kabaelam nga ibaga ti kaipapanan ken risuten dagiti parikut. Ita no kabaelam a basaen ti nakasurat ken maibagam kaniak ti kayatna a sawen, makawesanka iti lila ken makuentasanka iti balitok, ket maaddaankanto iti turay a kas maikatlo a kangangatoan a mangituray iti pagarian.”
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.”
17 Ket simmungbat ni Daniel iti ari, “O ari, kukuam lattan dagiti sagutmo, ket itedmo dagiti panggunggonam iti sabali a tao. Nupay kasta, basaek ti nakasurat para kenka, O ari, ken ibagak kenka ti kayatna a sawen.
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.
18 No maipapan kenka, O ari, inted ti Kangangatoan a Dios kenni Nebucadnesar nga amam ti pagarian, kinatan-ok, dayaw, ken dayag.
“To you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
19 Gapu iti kinatan-ok nga inted kenkuana ti Dios, nagpigerger ken nagbuteng kenkuana dagiti amin a tattao, nasion ken pagsasao. Pinatayna dagiti kayatna a matay, ket pagtalinaedenna a sibibiag dagiti kayatna nga agbiag. Intag-ayna dagiti kayatna, ken impababana dagiti tinarigagayanna nga ipababa.
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.
20 Ngem idi pimmalangguad ti pusona ken timmangken ti espirituna, nagtignay isuna a sitatangsit, naipababa isuna manipud iti naarian a tronona, ket napukawna ti kinadayagna.
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.
21 Napatalaw isuna manipud iti ayan dagiti tattao, nagpanunot isuna a kasla maysa nga ayup, ken nakipagnaed isuna kadagiti atap nga asno. Nangan isuna iti ruot a kasla iti maysa a baka. Nabasa ti bagina kadagiti linna-aw manipud kadagiti langit agingga a nabigbigna nga iturturayan ti Kangangatoan a Dios dagiti pagarian dagiti tattao ket isasaadna kadakuada ti siasinoman a kayatna.
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.
22 Sika Belsazar a putotna, saanmo nga impakumbaba ti pusom, nupay ammom amin dagitoy.
“You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
23 Nagpasindayagka a maibusor iti Apo ti langit. Manipud iti balayna inyegda kenka dagiti alikamen a naginomam iti arak, dagiti natakneng a tattaom, dagiti assawam ken dagiti inkabbalaymo, ket dinaydayawyo dagiti didiosen a naaramid iti pirak ken balitok, bronse, landok, kayo ken bato—dagiti didiosen a saan a makakita, makangngeg, wenno makaammo iti aniaman a banag. Saanmo a dinayaw ti Dios a mangtengtengngel iti angesmo babaen iti imana ken makaammo iti amin a wagasmo.
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 do not see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.
24 Ket nangibaon ti Dios iti maysa nga ima manipud iti sangoananna ket naisurat daytoy.
Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
25 Daytoy ti naisurat: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
“This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
26 Daytoy ti kayatna a sawen: MENE, ‘nabilangen’ ti Dios ti panagpaut ti pagariam ket umadanin nga agpatingga.
“This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
27 TEKEL, ‘natimbangkan’ ket nasarakan a nagkurangka.
TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28 PERES, ‘nabingayen’ ti pagariam ket naited kadagiti taga-Medo ken taga-Persia.”
PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
29 Ket imbilin ni Belsazar, ket kinawesanda ni Daniel iti lila a lupot. Nakuentasan isuna iti balitok, ket inwaragawag ti ari iti maipanggep kenkuana nga isuna iti maikatlo a kangangatoan a mangituray iti pagarian.
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.
30 Iti dayta a rabii napapatay ni Belsazar nga ari ti Babilonia,
In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
31 ket inawat ni Dario a taga-Medes ti pagarian idi agtawen isuna iti innem a pulo ket dua.
Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
