Daniele (دانيال) 5

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 بيلشاصّر الملك صنع وليمة عظيمة لعظمائه الالف وشرب خمرا قدام الالف.	1 Baltasar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles: and every one drank according to his age.
2 واذ كان بيلشاصر يذوق الخمر أمر باحضار آنية الذهب والفضة التي اخرجها نبوخذناصّر ابوه من الهيكل الذي في اورشليم ليشرب بها الملك وعظماؤه وزوجاته وسراريه.	2 And being now drunk he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.
3 حينئذ احضروا آنية الذهب التي أخرجت من هيكل بيت الله الذي في اورشليم وشرب بها الملك وعظماؤه وزوجاته وسراريه.	3 Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
4 كانوا يشربون الخمر ويسبحون آلهة الذهب والفضة والنحاس والحديد والخشب والحجر	4 They drank wine, and praised their gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
5 في تلك الساعة ظهرت اصابع يد انسان وكتبت بازاء النبراس على مكلس حائط قصر الملك والملك ينظر طرف اليد الكاتبة.	5 In the same hour there appeared fingers, as it were of the hand of a man, writing over against the candlestick upon the surface of the wall of the king's palace: and the king beheld the joints of the hand that wrote.
6 حينئذ تغيّرت هيئة الملك وافزعته افكاره وانحلّت خرز حقويه واصطكت ركبتاه.	6 Then was the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him: and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one against the other.
7 فصرخ الملك بشدة لادخال السحرة والكلدانيين والمنجمين. فاجاب الملك وقال لحكماء بابل اي رجل يقرأ هذه الكتابة ويبيّن لي تفسيرها فانه يلبّس الارجوان وقلادة من ذهب في عنقه ويتسلط ثالثا في المملكة.	7 And the king cried out aloud to bring in the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon: Whosoever shall read this writing, and shall make known to me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and shall have a golden chain on his neck, and shall be the third man in my kingdom.
8 ثم دخل كل حكماء الملك فلم يستطيعوا ان يقرأوا الكتابة ولا ان يعرّفوا الملك بتفسيرها.	8 Then came in all the king's wise men, but they could neither read the writing, nor declare the interpretation to the king.
9 ففزع الملك بيلشاصر جدا وتغيّرت فيه هيئته واضطرب عظماؤه.	9 Wherewith king Baltasar was much troubled, and his countenance was changed: and his nobles also were troubled.
10 اما الملكة فلسبب كلام الملك وعظمائه دخلت بيت الوليمة فاجابت الملكة وقالت ايها الملك عش الى الابد. لا تفزعك افكارك ولا تتغيّر هيئتك.	10 Then the queen, on occasion of what had happened to the king, and his nobles, came into the banquet house: and she spoke and said: O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.
11 يوجد في مملكتك رجل فيه روح الآلهة القدوسين وفي ايام ابيك وجدت فيه نيّرة وفطنة وحكمة كحكمة الآلهة والملك نبوخذناصّر ابوك جعله كبير المجوس والسحرة والكلدانيين والمنجمين. ابوك الملك.	11 There is a man in thy kingdom that hath the spirit of the holy gods in him: and in the days of thy father knowledge and wisdom were found in him: for king Nabuchodonosor thy father appointed him prince of the wise men, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, thy father, I say, O king:
12 من حيث ان روحا فاضلة ومعرفة وفطنة وتعبير الاحلام وتبيين ألغاز وحلّ عقد وجدت في دانيال هذا الذي سماه الملك بلطشاصر. فليدع الآن دانيال فيبيّن التفسير	12 Because a greater spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and shewing of secrets, and resolving of difficult things, were found in him, that is, in Daniel: whom the king named Baltarsar. Now therefore let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation.
13 حينئذ ادخل دانيال الى قدام الملك. فاجاب الملك وقال لدانيال أأنت هو دانيال من بني سبي يهوذا الذي جلبه ابي الملك من يهوذا.	13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke, and said to him: Art thou Daniel of the children of the captivity of Juda, whom my father the king brought out of Judea?
14 قد سمعت عنك ان فيك روح الآلهة وان فيك نيّرة وفطنة وحكمة فاضلة.	14 I have heard of thee, that thou hast the spirit of the gods, and excellent knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom are found in thee.
15 والآن أدخل قدامي الحكماء والسحرة ليقرأوا هذه الكتابة ويعرّفوني بتفسيرها فلم يستطيعوا ان يبيّنوا تفسير الكلام.	15 And now the wise men the magicians have come in before me, to read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof: and they could not declare to me the meaning of this writing.
16 وانا قد سمعت عنك انك تستطيع ان تفسر تفسيرا وتحل عقدا. فان استطعت الآن ان تقرأ الكتابة وتعرّفني بتفسيرها فتلبّس الارجوان وقلادة من ذهب في عنقك وتتسلط ثالثا في المملكة	16 But I have heard of thee, that thou canst interpret obscure things, and resolve difficult things: now if thou art able to read the writing, and to shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third prince in my kingdom.
17 فاجاب دانيال وقال قدام الملك. لتكن عطاياك لنفسك وهب هباتك لغيري. لكني اقرأ الكتابة للملك واعرّفه بالتفسير.	17 To which Daniel made answer, and said before the king: Thy rewards be to thyself, and the gifts of thy house give to another: but the writing I will read to thee, O king, and shew thee the interpretation thereof.
18 انت ايها الملك فالله العلي اعطى اباك نبوخذناصّر ملكوتا وعظمة وجلالا وبهاء.	18 O king, the most high God gave to Nabuchodonosor thy father a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour.
19 وللعظمة التي اعطاه اياها كانت ترتعد وتفزع قدامه جميع الشعوب والامم والألسنة. فايّا شاء قتل وايّا شاء استحيا وايّا شاء رفع وايّا شاء وضع.	19 And for the greatness that he gave to him, all people, tribes, and languages trembled, and were afraid of him: whom he would, he slew: and whom he would, he destroyed: and whom he would, he set up: and whom he would, he brought down.
20 فلما ارتفع قلبه وقست روحه تجبّرا انحط عن كرسي ملكه ونزعوا عنه جلاله	20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto pride, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory was taken away.
21 وطرد من بين الناس وتساوى قلبه بالحيوان وكانت سكناه مع الحمير الوحشية فاطعموه العشب كالثيران وابتلّ جسمه بندى السماء حتى علم ان الله العلي سلطان في مملكة الناس وانه يقيم عليها من يشاء.	21 And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him.
22 وانت يا بيلشاصر ابنه لم تضع قلبك مع انك عرفت كل هذا.	22 Thou also his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thy heart, whereas thou knewest all these things:
23 بل تعظمت على رب السماء فاحضروا قدامك آنية بيته وانت وعظمائك وزوجاتك وسراريك شربتم بها الخمر وسبّحت آلهة الفضة والذهب والنحاس والحديد والخشب والحجر التي لا تبصر ولا تسمع ولا تعرف. اما الله الذي بيده نسمتك وله كل طرقك فلم تمجده.	23 But hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven: and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee: and thou, and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified.
24 حينئذ أرسل من قبله طرف اليد فكتبت هذه الكتابة.	24 Wherefore he hath sent the part of the hand which hath written this that is set down.
25 وهذه هي الكتابة التي سطّرت. منا منا تقيل وفرسين.	25 And this is the writing that is written: MANE, THECEL, PHARES.
26 وهذا تفسير الكلام منا احصى الله ملكوتك وانهاه.	26 And this is the interpretation of the word. MANE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
27 تقيل وزنت بالموازين فوجدت ناقصا.	27 THECEL: thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting.
28 فرس قسمت مملكتك وأعطيت لمادي وفارس	28 PHARES: thy kingdom is divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians.
29 حينئذ أمر بيلشاصر ان يلبّسوا دانيال الارجوان وقلادة من ذهب في عنقه وينادوا عليه انه يكون متسلطا ثالثا في المملكة.	29 Then by the king's command Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom.
30 في تلك الليلة قتل بيلشاصر ملك الكلدانيين	30 The same night Baltasar the Chaldean king was slain.
31 فاخذ المملكة داريوس المادي وهو ابن اثنتين وستين سنة	31 And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being threescore and two years old.
