BIBLIAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 El rey Baltasar dio un gran festín en honor de sus mil dignatarios, y, en presencia de estos mil, bebió vino.1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Bajo el efecto del vino, Baltasar mandó traer los vasos de oro y plata que su padre Nabucodonosor se había llevado del Templo de Jerusalén, para que bebieran en ellos el rey, sus dignatorios, sus mujeres y sus concubinas.2 Belshazzar, whiles 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 therein.
3 Se trajeron, pues, los vasos de oro y plata tomados de la Casa de Dios en Jerusalén, y en ellos bebieron el rey, sus dignatorios, sus mujeres y sus concubinas.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.
4 Bebieron vino y alabaron a sus dioses de oro y plata, de bronce y hierro, de madera y piedra.4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 De pronto aparecieron los dedos de una mano humana que se pusieron a escribir, detrás del candelabro, en la cal de la pared del palacio real, y el rey vio la palma de la mano que escribía.5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Entonces el rey cambió de color, sus pensamientos le turbaron, las articulaciones de sus caderas se le relajaron y sus rodillas se pusieron a castañetear.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.
7 Y el rey mandó a buscar a gritos a los adivinos, caldeos y astrólogos. Tomó el rey la palabra y dijo a los sabios de Babilonia: «El que lea este escrito y me dé a conocer su interpretación, será vestido de púrpura, se le pondrá al cuello un collar de oro, y mandará como tercero en el reino».7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
8 Vinieron, pues, todos los sabios del rey; pero no pudieron leer el escrito ni declarar al rey su interpretación.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 thereof.
9 El rey Baltasar se turbó mucho y su semblante cambió de color; también sus dignatarios quedaron desconcertados.9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
10 En la sala del festín entró la reina, enterada por las palabras del rey y de sus dignatarios. Y dijo la reina: «¡Viva el rey eternamente! No te turben tus pensamientos ni tu semblante cambie de color.10 Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
11 Hay en tu reino un hombre en quien reside el espíritu de los dioses santos. Ya en tiempo de tu padre se halló en él luz, inteligencia y sabiduría semejante a la sabiduría de los dioses, y tu padre, el rey Nabucodonosor, le nombró jefe de los magos, adivinos, caldeos y astrólogos.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;
12 Por tanto, ya que en este Daniel, a quien el rey puso por sobrenombre Beltsassar, se encontró un espíritu extraordinario, ciencia, inteligencia y arte de interpretar sueños, de descifrar enigmas y de resolver dificultades, sea llamado Daniel y él dará a conocer la interpretación».12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing 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 shew the interpretation.
13 En seguida fue introducido Daniel a la presencia del rey, y el rey dijo a Daniel: «¿Eres tú Daniel, uno de los judíos deportados, que mi padre el rey trajo de Judá?13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
14 He oído decir que en ti reside el espíritu de los dioses y que hay en ti luz, inteligencia y sabiduría extraordinarias.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.
15 Han sido introducidos ahora en mi presencia los sabios y adivinos para que leyeran este escrito y me declararan su interpretación, pero han sido incapaces de descubrir su sentido.15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:
16 He oído decir que tú puedes dar interpretaciones y resolver dificultades. Si, pues, logras leer este escrito y declararme su interpretación, serás vestido de púrpura, llevarás al cuello un collar de oro, y mandarás como tercero en el reino».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 thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
17 Daniel tomó la palabra y dijo delante del rey: «Quédate con tus regalos y da tus obsequios a otro, que yo leeré igualmente al rey este escrito y le daré a conocer su interpretación.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 unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 Oh rey, el Dios Altísimo dio a tu padre Nabucodonosor reino, grandeza, gloria y majestad.18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
19 Y por esta grandeza que le dio, todos los pueblos, naciones y lenguas temblaban de miedo en su presencia: mataba él a quien quería, dejaba vivir a quien quería, exaltaba a quien quería y a quien quería humillaba.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.
20 Pero habiéndose engreído su corazón y obstinado su espíritu hasta la arrogancia, fue depuesto de su trono real, y se le quitó su gloria.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:
21 Fue expulsado de entre los hombres y su corazón se hizo semejante al de las bestias; estuvo conviviendo con los onagros; se alimentó de hierba como los bueyes, y su cuerpo fue bañado del rocío del cielo, hasta que reconoció que el Dios Altísimo domina sobre el reino de los hombres y pone en él a quien le place.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 asses: 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 ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
22 Pero tú, Baltasar, hijo suyo, no has humillado tu corazón, a pesar de que sabías todo esto;22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
23 te has engreído contra el Señor del Cielo, se han traído a tu presencia los vasos de su Casa, y tú, tus dignatorios, tus mujeres y tus concubinas, habéis bebido vino en ellos. Habéis celebrado a los dioses de plata y oro, de bronce y hierro, de madera y piedra, que no ven ni oyen ni entienden, pero no has glorificado al Dios que tiene en sus manos tu propio aliento y de quien dependen todos tus caminos.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, hast thou not glorified:
24 Por eso ha enviado él esa mano que trazó este escrito.24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
25 La escritura trazada es: Mené, Mené, Teqel y Parsín.25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 Y ésta es la interpretación de las palabras: Mené: Dios ha medido tu reino y le ha puesto fin;26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 Tequel: has sido pesado en la balanza y encontrado falto de peso;27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 Parsín: tu reino ha sido dividido y entregado a los medos y los persas».28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Entonces Baltasar mandó revestir de púrpura a Daniel, ponerle un collar de oro al cuello y proclamar que mandaba como tercero en el reino.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.
30 Aquella noche fue asesinado Baltasar, el rey de los caldeos.30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
