Daniel 5
|
| O rei Belsazar deu um grande banquete a mil dos seus grandes, e bebeu vinho na presença dos mil. | Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, drinking wine before the thousand. |
| Havendo Belsazar provado o vinho, mandou trazer os vasos de ouro e de prata que Nabucodonozor, seu pai, tinha tirado do templo que estava em Jerusalém, para que bebessem por eles o rei, e os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas. | Belshazzar, while he was overcome with wine, gave orders for them to put before him the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem; so that the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, might take their drink from them. |
| Então trouxeram os vasos de ouro que foram tirados do templo da casa de Deus, que estava em Jerusalém, e beberam por eles o rei, os seus grandes, as suas mulheres e concubinas. | Then they took in the gold and silver vessels which had been in the Temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, took wine from them. |
| Beberam vinho, e deram louvores aos deuses de ouro, e de prata, de bronze, de ferro, de madeira, e de pedra. | They took their wine and gave praise to the gods of gold and silver, of brass and iron and wood and stone. |
| Na mesma hora apareceram uns dedos de mão de homem, e escreviam, defronte do castiçal, na caiadura da parede do palácio real; e o rei via a parte da mão que estava escrevendo. | In that very hour the fingers of a man's hand were seen, writing opposite the support for the light on the white wall of the king's house, and the king saw the part of the hand which was writing. |
| Mudou-se, então, o semblante do rei, e os seus pensamentos o perturbaram; as juntas dos seus lombos se relaxaram, e os seus joelhos batiam um no outro. | Then the colour went from the king's face, and he was troubled by his thoughts; strength went from his body, and his knees were shaking. |
| E ordenou o rei em alta voz, que se introduzissem os encantadores, os caldeus e os adivinhadores; e falou o rei, e disse aos sábios de Babilônia: Qualquer que ler esta escritura, e me declarar a sua interpretação, será vestido de púrpura, e trará uma cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e no reino será o terceiro governante. | The king, crying out with a loud voice, said that the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs, were to be sent for. The king made answer and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever is able to make out this writing, and make clear to me the sense of it, will be clothed in purple and have a chain of gold round his neck, and will be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom. |
| Então entraram todos os sábios do rei; mas não puderam ler o escrito, nem fazer saber ao rei a sua interpretação. | Then all the king's wise men came in: but they were not able to make out the writing or give the sense of it to the king. |
| Nisto ficou o rei Belsazar muito perturbado, e se lhe mudou o semblante; e os seus grandes estavam perplexos. | Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled and the colour went from his face, and his lords were at a loss. |
| Ora a rainha, por causa das palavras do rei e dos seus grandes, entrou na casa do banquete; e a rainha disse: ç rei, vive para sempre; não te perturbem os teus pensamentos, nem se mude o teu semblante. | The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the house of the feast: the queen made answer and said, O King, have life for ever; do not be troubled by your thoughts or let the colour go from your face: |
| Há no teu reino um homem que tem o espírito dos deuses santos; e nos dias de teu pai se achou nele luz, e inteligência, e sabedoria, como a sabedoria dos deuses; e teu pai, o rei Nabucodonozor, sim, teu pai, ó rei, o constituiu chefe dos magos, dos encantadores, dos caldeus, e dos adivinhadores; | 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 reason like the wisdom of the gods were seen in him: and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him master of the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs; |
| porquanto se achou neste Daniel um espírito excelente, e conhecimento e entendimento para interpretar sonhos, explicar enigmas e resolver dúvidas, ao qual o rei pôs o nome de Beltessazar. Chame-se, pois, agora Daniel, e ele dará a interpretação. | Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he will make clear the sense of the writing. |
| Então Daniel foi introduzido à presença do rei. Falou o rei, e disse à Daniel: És tu aquele Daniel, um dos cativos de Judá, que o rei, meu pai, trouxe de Judá? | Then they took Daniel in before the king; the king made answer and said to Daniel, So you are that Daniel, of the prisoners of Judah, whom my father took out of Judah. |
| Tenho ouvido dizer a teu respeito que o espírito dos deuses está em ti, e que em ti se acham a luz, o entendimento e a excelente sabedoria. | And I have had news of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and reason and special wisdom have been seen in you. |
| Acabam de ser introduzidos à minha presença os sábios, os encantadores, para lerem o escrito, e me fazerem saber a sua interpretação; mas não puderam dar a interpretação destas palavras. | And now the wise men, the users of secret arts, have been sent in before me for the purpose of reading this writing and making clear to me the sense of it: but they are not able to make clear the sense of the thing: |
| Ouvi dizer, porém, a teu respeito que podes dar interpretações e resolver dúvidas. Agora, pois, se puderes ler esta escritura e fazer-me saber a sua interpretação, serás vestido de púrpura, e terás cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e no reino serás o terceiro governante. | And I have had news of you, that you have the power of making things clear, and of answering hard questions: now if you are able to make out the writing and give me the sense of it, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain round your neck and be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom. |
| Então respondeu Daniel, e disse na presença do rei: Os teus presentes fiquem contigo, e dá os teus prêmios a outro; todavia vou ler ao rei o escrito, e lhe farei saber a interpretação. | Then Daniel made answer and said to the king, Keep your offerings for yourself, and give your rewards to another; but I, after reading the writing to the king, will give him the sense of it. |
| O Altíssimo Deus, ó rei, deu a Nabucodonozor, teu pai, o reino e a grandeza, glória e majestade; | As for you, O King, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, the kingdom and great power and glory and honour: |
| e por causa da grandeza que lhe deu, todos os povos, nações, e línguas tremiam e temiam diante dele; a quem queria matava, e a quem queria conservava em vida; a quem queria exaltava, e a quem queria abatia. | And because of the great power he gave him, all peoples and nations and languages were shaking in fear before him: some he put to death and others he kept living, at his pleasure, lifting up some and putting others down as it pleased him. |
| Mas quando o seu coração se elevou, e o seu espírito se endureceu para se haver arrogantemente, foi derrubado do seu trono real, e passou dele a sua glória. | But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became hard with pride, he was put down from his place as king, and they took his glory from him: |
| E foi expulso do meio dos filhos dos homens, e o seu coração foi feito semelhante aos dos animais, e a sua morada foi com os jumentos monteses; deram-lhe a comer erva como aos bois, e do orvalho do céu foi molhado o seu corpo, até que conheceu que o Altíssinuo Deus tem domínio sobre o reino dos homens, e a quem quer constitui sobre ele. | And he was sent out from among the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts', and he was living with the asses of the fields; he had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he was certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives power over it to anyone at his pleasure. |
| E tu, Belsazar, que és seu filho, não humilhaste o teu coração, ainda que soubeste tudo isso; | And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not kept your heart free from pride, though you had knowledge of all this; |
| porém te elevaste contra o Senhor do céu; pois foram trazidos a tua presença os vasos da casa dele, e tu, os teus grandes, as tua mulheres e as tuas concubinas, bebestes vinho neles; além disso, deste louvores aos deuses de prata, de ouro, de bronze, de ferro, de madeira e de pedra, que não vêem, não ouvem, nem sabem; mas a Deus, em cuja mão está a tua vida, e de quem são todos os teus caminhos, a ele não glorificaste.: | But you have been lifting yourself up against the Lord of heaven, and they have put the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your women, have taken wine in them; and you have given praise to gods of silver and gold, of brass and iron and wood and stone, who are without the power of seeing or hearing, and without knowledge: and to the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not given glory; |
| Então dele foi enviada aquela parte da mão que traçou o escrito. | Then the part of the hand was sent out from before him, and this writing was recorded. |
| Esta, pois, é a escritura que foi traçada: MENE, MENE, TEQUEL, UFARSlM. | And this is the writing which was recorded, Mene, tekel, peres. |
| Esta é a interpretação daquilo: MENE: Contou Deus o teu reino, e o acabou. | This is the sense of the words: Mene; your kingdom has been numbered by God and ended. |
| TEQUEL: Pesado foste na balança, e foste achado em falta. | Tekel; you have been put in the scales and seen to be under weight. |
| PERES: Dividido está o teu reino, e entregue aos medos e persas. | Peres; your kingdom has been cut up and given to the Medes and Persians. |
| Então Belsazar deu ordem, e vestiram a Daniel de púrpura, puseram-lhe uma cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e proclamaram a respeito dele que seria o terceiro em autoridade no reino. | Then, by the order of Belshazzar, they put a purple robe on Daniel, and a gold chain round his neck, and a public statement was made that he was to be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom. |
| Naquela mesma noite Belsazar, o rei dos caldeus, foi morto. | That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, was put to death. |
| E Dario, o medo, recebeu o reino, tendo cerca de sessenta e dois anos de idade. | And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being then about sixty-two years old. |
