ΔΑΝΙΗΛ - Daniele - Daniel 5

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 βαλτασαρ ο βασιλευς εποιησεν εστιατοριαν μεγαλην τοις εταιροις αυτου και επινεν οινον	1 King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his lords, with whom he drank.
2 και ανυψωθη η καρδια αυτου και ειπεν ενεγκαι τα σκευη τα χρυσα και τα αργυρα του οικου του θεου α ηνεγκε ναβουχοδονοσορ ο πατηρ αυτου απο ιερουσαλημ και οινοχοησαι εν αυτοις τοις εταιροις αυτου	2 Under the influence of the wine, he ordered the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, to be brought in so that the king, his lords, his wives and his entertainers might drink from them.
3 και ηνεχθη και επινον εν αυτοις	3 When the gold and silver vessels taken from the house of God in Jerusalem had been brought in, and while the king, his lords, his wives and his entertainers were drinking
4 και ηυλογουν τα ειδωλα τα χειροποιητα αυτων και τον θεον του αιωνος ουκ ευλογησαν τον εχοντα την εξουσιαν του πνευματος αυτων	4 wine from them, they praised their gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone.
5 εν αυτη τη ωρα εκεινη εξηλθον δακτυλοι ωσει χειρος ανθρωπου και εγραψαν επι του τοιχου του οικου αυτου επι του κονιαματος κατεναντι του φωτος εναντι του βασιλεως βαλτασαρ και ειδε χειρα γραφουσαν	5 Suddenly, opposite the lampstand, the fingers of a human hand appeared, writing on the plaster of the wall in the king's palace. When the king saw the wrist and hand that wrote,
6 και η ορασις αυτου ηλλοιωθη και φοβοι και υπονοιαι αυτον κατεσπευδον εσπευσεν ουν ο βασιλευς και εξανεστη και εωρα την γραφην εκεινην και οι συνεταιροι κυκλω αυτου εκαυχωντο	6 his face blanched; his thoughts terrified him, his hip joints shook, and his knees knocked.
7 και ο βασιλευς εφωνησε φωνη μεγαλη καλεσαι τους επαοιδους και φαρμακους και χαλδαιους και γαζαρηνους απαγγειλαι το συγκριμα της γραφης και εισεπορευοντο επι θεωριαν ιδειν την γραφην και το συγκριμα της γραφης ουκ εδυναντο συγκριναι τω βασιλει τοτε ο βασιλευς εξεθηκε προσταγμα λεγων πας ανηρ ος αν υποδειξη το συγκριμα της γραφης στολιει αυτον πορφυραν και μανιακην χρυσουν περιθησει αυτω και δοθησεται αυτω εξουσια του τριτου μερους της βασιλειας	7 The king shouted for the enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers to be brought in. "Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means," he said to the wise men of Babylon, "shall be clothed in purple, wear a golden collar about his neck, and be third in the government of the kingdom."
8 και εισεπορευοντο οι επαοιδοι και φαρμακοι και γαζαρηνοι και ουκ ηδυνατο ουδεις το συγκριμα της γραφης απαγγειλαι	8 But though all the king's wise men came in, none of them could either read the writing or tell the king what it meant.
9 τοτε ο βασιλευς εκαλεσε την βασιλισσαν περι του σημειου και υπεδειξεν αυτη ως μεγα εστι και οτι πας ανθρωπος ου δυναται απαγγειλαι τω βασιλει το συγκριμα της γραφης	9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly terrified; his face went ashen, and his lords were thrown into confusion.
10 τοτε η βασιλισσα εμνησθη προς αυτον περι του δανιηλ ος ην εκ της αιχμαλωσιας της ιουδαιας	10 When the queen heard of the discussion between the king and his lords, she entered the banquet hall and said, "O king, live forever! Be not troubled in mind, nor look so pale!
11 και ειπε τω βασιλει ο ανθρωπος επιστημων ην και σοφος και υπερεχων παντας τους σοφους βαβυλωνος	11 There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy God; during the lifetime of your father he was seen to have brilliant knowledge and god-like wisdom. In fact, King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers,
12 και πνευμα αγιον εν αυτω εστι και εν ταις ημεραις του πατρος σου του βασιλεως συγκριματα υπερογκα υπεδειξε ναβουχοδονοσορ τω πατρι σου	12 because of the extraordinary mind possessed by this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. He knew and understood how to interpret dreams, explain enigmas, and solve difficulties. Now therefore, summon Daniel to tell you what this means."
13 τοτε δανιηλ εισηχθη προς τον βασιλεα και αποκριθεις ο βασιλευς ειπεν αυτω	13 Then Daniel was brought into the presence of the king. The king asked him, "Are you the Daniel, the Jewish exile, whom my father, the king, brought from Judah?
14 -	14 I have heard that the spirit of God is in you, that you possess brilliant knowledge and extraordinary wisdom.
15 -	15 Now, the wise men and enchanters were brought in to me to read this writing and tell me its meaning, but they could not say what the words meant.
16 ω δανιηλ δυνη μοι υποδειξαι το συγκριμα της γραφης και στολιω σε πορφυραν και μανιακην χρυσουν περιθησω σοι και εξεις εξουσιαν του τριτου μερους της βασιλειας μου	16 But I have heard that you can interpret dreams and solve difficulties; if you are able to read the writing and tell me what it means, you shall be clothed in purple, wear a gold collar about your neck, and be third in the government of the kingdom."
17 τοτε δανιηλ εστη κατεναντι της γραφης και ανεγνω και ουτως απεκριθη τω βασιλει αυτη η γραφη ηριθμηται κατελογισθη εξηρται και εστη η γραψασα χειρ και αυτη η συγκρισις αυτων	17 Daniel answered the king: "You may keep your gifts, or give your presents to someone else; but the writing I will read for you, O king, and tell you what it means.
18 -	18 The Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar a great kingdom and glorious majesty.
19 -	19 Because he made him so great, the nations and peoples of every language dreaded and feared him. Whomever he wished, he killed or let live; whomever he wished, he exalted or humbled.
20 -	20 But when his heart became proud and his spirit hardened by insolence, he was put down from his royal throne and deprived of his glory;
21 -	21 he was cast out from among men and was made insensate as a beast; he lived with wild asses, and ate grass like an ox; his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, until he learned that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of men and appoints over it whom he will.
22 -	22 You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this;
23 βασιλευ συ εποιησω εστιατοριαν τοις φιλοις σου και επινες οινον και τα σκευη του οικου του θεου του ζωντος ηνεχθη σοι και επινετε εν αυτοις συ και οι μεγιστανες σου και ηνεσατε παντα τα ειδωλα τα χειροποιητα των ανθρωπων και τω θεω τω ζωντι ουκ ευλογησατε και το πνευμα σου εν τη χειρι αυτου και το βασιλειον σου αυτος εδωκε σοι και ουκ ευλογησας αυτον ουδε ηνεσας αυτω	23 you have rebelled against the Lord of heaven. You had the vessels of his temple brought before you, so that you and your nobles, your wives and your entertainers, might drink wine from them; and you praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, that neither see nor hear nor have intelligence. But the God in whose hand is your life breath and the whole course of your life, you did not glorify.
24 -	24 By him were the wrist and hand sent, and the writing set down.
25 -	25 "This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, TEKEL, and PERES. These words mean:
26 ,26-28 τουτο το συγκριμα της γραφης ηριθμηται ο χρονος σου της βασιλειας αποληγει η βασιλεια σου συντετμηται και συντετελεσται η βασιλεια σου τοις μηδοις και τοις περσαις διδοται	26 MENE, God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it;
27 ,26-28	27 TEKEL, you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting;
28 ,26-28	28 PERES, your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians."
29 τοτε βαλτασαρ ο βασιλευς ενεδυσε τον δανιηλ πορφυραν και μανιακην χρυσουν περιεθηκεν αυτω και εδωκεν εξουσιαν αυτω του τριτου μερους της βασιλειας αυτου	29 Then by order of Belshazzar they clothed Daniel in purple, with a gold collar about his neck, and proclaimed him third in the government of the kingdom.
30 και το συγκριμα επηλθε βαλτασαρ τω βασιλει και το βασιλειον εξηρται απο των χαλδαιων και εδοθη τοις μηδοις και τοις περσαις	30 The same night Belshazzar, the Chaldean king, was slain:
31 -
