Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Baltasar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles: and every one drank according to his age.
1伯沙撒 王為他的一千大臣設擺盛筵，與這一千人對面飲酒。
2And 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.
2伯沙撒 歡飲之間，吩咐人將他父 尼布甲尼撒 從 耶路撒冷 殿中所掠的金銀器皿拿來，王與大臣、皇后、妃嬪好用這器皿飲酒。
3Then 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.
3於是他們把 耶路撒冷 上帝殿 庫 房中所掠的金器皿拿來，王和大臣、皇后、妃嬪就用這器皿飲酒。
4They drank wine, and praised their gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
4他們飲酒，讚美金、銀、銅、鐵、木、石所造的神。
5In 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.
5當時， 忽 有人的指頭顯出，在王宮與燈臺相對的粉牆上寫字。王看見寫字的指頭
6Then 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.
6就變了臉色，心意驚惶，腰骨 好像 脫節，雙膝彼此相碰，
7And 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.
7大聲吩咐將用法術的和 迦勒底 人並觀兆的領進來，對 巴比倫 的哲士說，誰能讀這文字，把講解告訴我，他必身穿紫袍，項帶金鍊，在我國中位列第三。
8Then came in all the king’s wise men, but they could neither read the writing, nor declare the interpretation to the king.
8於是王的一切哲士都進來，卻不能讀那文字，也不能把講解告訴王。
9Wherewith king Baltasar was much troubled, and his countenance was changed: and his nobles also were troubled.
9伯沙撒 王就甚驚惶，臉色改變，他的大臣也都驚奇。
10Then 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.
10太后因王和他大臣所說的話，就進入宴宮，說：「願王萬歲！你心意不要驚惶，臉面不要變色。
11There 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:
11在你國中有一人，他裏頭有聖神的靈，你父在世的日子，這人心中光明，又有聰明智慧，好像神的智慧。你父 尼布甲尼撒 王，就是王的父，立他為術士、用法術的，和 迦勒底 人，並觀兆的領袖。
12Because 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 Baltassar. Now therefore let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation.
12在他裏頭有美好的靈性，又有知識聰明，能圓夢，釋謎語，解疑惑。這人名叫 但以理 ， 尼布甲尼撒 王又稱他為 伯提沙撒 ，現在可以召他來，他必解明這意思。」
13Then 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?
13但以理 就被領到王前。王問 但以理 說：「你是被擄之 猶大 人中的 但以理 嗎？就是我父王從 猶大 擄來的嗎？
14I have heard of thee, that thou hast the spirit of the gods, and excellent knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom are found in thee.
14我聽說你裏頭有神的靈，心中光明，又有聰明和美好的智慧。
15And 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.
15現在哲士和用法術的都領到我面前，為叫他們讀這文字，把講解告訴我，無奈他們都不能把講解說出來。
16But 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.
16我聽說你善於講解，能解疑惑；現在你若能讀這文字，把講解告訴我，就必身穿紫袍，項戴金鍊，在我國中位列第三。」
17To 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.
17但以理 在王面前回答說：「你的贈品可以歸你自己，你的賞賜可以歸給別人；我卻要為王讀這文字，把講解告訴王。
18O king, the most high God gave to Nabuchodonosor thy father a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour.
18王啊，至高的上帝曾將國位、大權、榮耀、威嚴賜與你父 尼布甲尼撒 ；
19And 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.
19因上帝所賜他的大權，各方、各國、各族的人都在他面前戰兢恐懼。他可以隨意生殺，隨意升降。
20But 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.
20但他心高氣傲，靈也剛愎，甚至行事狂傲，就被革去王位，奪去榮耀。
21And 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.
21他被趕出離開世人，他的心變如獸心，與野驢同居，吃草如牛，身被天露滴濕，等他知道至高的上帝在人的國中掌權，憑自己的意旨立人治國。
22Thou also his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thy heart, whereas thou knewest all these things:
22伯沙撒 啊，你是他的兒子，你雖知道這一切，你心仍不自卑，
23But 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.
23竟向天上的主自高，使人將他殿中的器皿拿到你面前，你和大臣、皇后、妃嬪用這器皿飲酒。你又讚美那不能看、不能聽、無知無識、金、銀、銅、鐵、木、石所造的神，卻沒有將榮耀歸與那手中有你氣息，管理你一切行動的上帝。
24Wherefore he hath sent the part of the hand which hath written this that is set down.
24因此從上帝那裏顯出指頭來寫這文字。
25And this is the writing that is written: MANE, THECEL, PHARES.
25「所寫的文字是：『彌尼，彌尼，提客勒，烏法珥新。』
26And this is the interpretation of the word. MANE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
26講解是這樣：彌尼，就是上帝已經數算你國的年日到此完畢。
27THECEL: thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting.
27提客勒，就是你被稱在天平裏，顯出你的虧欠。
28PHARES: thy kingdom is divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians.
28毗勒斯，就是你的國分裂，歸與 米底亞 人和 波斯 人。」
29Then 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.
29伯沙撒 下令，人就把紫袍給 但以理 穿上，把金鍊給他戴在頸項上，又傳令使他在國中位列第三。
30The same night Baltasar the Chaldean king was slain.
30當夜， 迦勒底 王 伯沙撒 被殺。
31And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being threescore and two years old.
31米底亞 人 大流士 年六十二歲，取了 迦勒底 國。
