Daniel 5

KING JAMES BIBLE	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.	1 O rei Baltazar deu uma festa para seus mil nobres, em presença dos quais pôs-se a beber vinho.
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.	2 Excitado pela bebida, mandou trazer os vasos de ouro e de prata que seu pai Nabucodonosor tinha arrebatado ao templo de Jerusalém, a fim de que o rei, seus nobres, suas mulheres e suas concubinas deles se servissem para beber.
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.	3 Trouxeram então os vasos de ouro que tinham sido arrebatados ao templo de Deus em Jerusalém. O rei, seus nobres, suas mulheres e suas concubinas beberam neles
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.	4 e, depois de terem bebido vinho, entoaram o louvor aos deuses de ouro e prata, bronze, ferro, madeira e pedra.
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.	5 Ora, nesse momento, eis que surgiram dedos de mão humana a escrever, defronte do candelabro, no revestimento da parede do palácio real. O rei, à vista dessa mão que escrevia,
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.	6 mudou de cor; pensamentos tétricos assaltaram-no; os músculos de seus rins relaxaram-se e seus joelhos entrechocaram-se.
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.	7 Gritou violentamente que mandassem vir os magos, os caldeus e os astrólogos. Mandou-lhes dizer: Aquele que decifrar essa inscrição e me der o sentido dela será revestido de púrpura, usará ao pescoço um colar de ouro e tomará o terceiro lugar no governo do reino.
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.	8 Todos os sábios do rei entraram na sala, mas foram incapazes de ler a inscrição e dar seu significado ao rei.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.	9 Baltazar ficou muito assustado, seu rosto mudou de cor; seus nobres sentiam-se constrangidos.
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:	10 Mas a rainha, {atraída pelo} barulho das palavras do rei e dos nobres, entrou na sala do festim: Ó rei, disse, vive para sempre! Não te deixes atemorizar pelas tuas idéias; não mudes assim de cor.
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;	11 Há no teu reino um homem no qual habita o espírito dos deuses santos. Quando teu pai era vivo, encontrava-se nele uma luz, uma inteligência e uma sabedoria comparáveis à sabedoria dos deuses. Por isso o rei Nabucodonosor, teu pai, tinha-o nomeado chefe dos escribas, dos magos, dos caldeus e dos astrólogos;
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.	12 havia-se descoberto nesse Daniel {cognominado Baltazar pelo rei} um espírito superior, uma ciência e uma penetração {particular} para interpretar os sonhos, explicar os enigmas e resolver as dificuldades. Que se chame logo Daniel, e ele dará o significado da inscrição.
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?	13 Daniel foi então introduzido diante do rei, o qual lhe disse: és realmente Daniel, o deportado de Judá, que meu pai trouxe aqui da Judéia?
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.	14 Ouvi dizer a teu respeito que o espírito dos deuses habita em ti e que se encontram em ti uma luz, uma inteligência e uma sabedoria singulares.
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:	15 Acabam de introduzir diante de mim os sábios e os magos para ler esta inscrição e descobrir o seu significado. Não puderam dar-me a significação dessas palavras.
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.	16 Ora, asseguraram-me que tu és mestre na arte das interpretações e das soluções de enigmas. Portanto, se puderes ler esse texto e me dar o seu significado, serás revestido de púrpura, usarás ao pescoço um colar de ouro e ocuparás o terceiro lugar no governo do reino.
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.	17 Respondeu Daniel ao rei: Guarda teus presentes; concede-os a outros! Lerei, todavia, este texto ao rei e dar-lhe-ei o significado.
18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:	18 Ó rei, o Deus Altíssimo havia outorgado a Nabucodonosor, teu pai, realeza, grandeza, glória e majestade.
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.	19 Em razão dessa grandeza que lhe era conferida, todos os povos, todas as nações e pessoas de todas as línguas tremiam de medo diante dele. Mandava matar quem queria; deixava viver quem desejava; elevava e rebaixava quem lhe aprazia.
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:	20 Mas, seu coração, tendo-se engrandecido e seu espírito, tendo-se endurecido na presunção, foi deposto de seu trono e despojado de sua glória.
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.	21 Foi expulso do meio dos homens e, tornando-se seu coração, semelhante ao dos animais, ficou em companhia dos animais selvagens, pastando ervas como os bois; e seu corpo foi molhado pelo orvalho do céu, até que ele reconhecesse que o Deus Altíssimo domina sobre a realeza humana, e aí eleva a quem bem lhe apraz.
22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;	22 Tu, Baltazar, seu filho, também sabias tudo isso e não humilhaste teu coração.
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:	23 Tu te ergueste contra o Senhor do céu. Trouxeram-te os vasos de seu templo, nos quais bebestes o vinho, tu, teus nobres, tuas mulheres e tuas concubinas. Deste louvor aos deuses de prata e ouro, bronze, ferro, madeira e pedra, cegos, surdos e impassíveis, em lugar de dar glória ao Deus de quem depende o teu sopro {vital} e todo teu destino.
24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.	24 Assim, por ordem sua, essa mão foi enviada e essas palavras foram traçadas.
25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.	25 O texto aqui escrito {se lê}: MENÊ, TEQUEL e PERÊS.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.	26 Eis o significado dessas palavras: MENÊ - Deus contou {os anos} de teu reinado e nele põe um fim;
27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.	27 TEQUEL - foste pesado na balança e considerado leve demais;
28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.	28 PERÊS - teu reino vai ser dividido e entregue aos medos e persas.
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.	29 Então, por ordem de Baltazar, Daniel foi revestido de púrpura; colocaram-lhe ao pescoço um colar de ouro e publicou-se que ele ocuparia o terceiro lugar no governo do reino.
30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.	30 {Mas} nessa mesma noite, Baltazar, rei dos caldeus, foi morto.
31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.	31 Dario, o medo, recebeu a realeza mais ou menos com a idade de sessenta e dois anos.
