Daniel 5
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
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。
2Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his consorts and his concubines, might drink therein.
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 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 lords, his consorts 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 the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, 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 came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace; and the king saw the palm 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 the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts affrighted him; and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
6就變了臉色，心意驚惶，腰骨 好像 脫節，雙膝彼此相碰，
7The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon: 'Whosoever shall read this writing, and declare unto me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule as one of three in the 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 not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
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。
9Then was king Belshazzar greatly affrighted, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
9伯沙撒 王就甚驚惶，臉色改變，他的大臣也都驚奇。
10Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house; the queen spoke and said: 'O king, live for ever! let not thy thoughts affright thee, nor 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, 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; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers;
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。
12forasmuch as a surpassing spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and declaring of riddles, and loosing of knots, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will declare 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 was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel: 'Art thou Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
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 the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and surpassing wisdom is 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 enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not declare the interpretation of the thing.
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 give interpretations, and loose knots; now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt rule as one of three in the 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。」
17Then Daniel answered and said before the king: 'Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
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 thou king, God Most High gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;
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 because of the greatness that He gave him, all the peoples, 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 raised up, and whom he would he put 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 was hardened that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him;
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 from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that God Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that He setteth up over it whomsoever He will.
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。
22And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this;
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 up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy consorts 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。
24then was the palm of the hand sent from before Him, and this writing was inscribed.
24因此從上帝那裏顯出指頭來寫這文字。
25And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN.
25「所寫的文字是：『彌尼，彌尼，提客勒，烏法珥新。』
26This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end.
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。
27TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
27提客勒，就是你被稱在天平裏，顯出你的虧欠。
28PERES, thy kingdom is divided, and 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 commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should rule as one of three 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。
30In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.
30當夜， 迦勒底 王 伯沙撒 被殺。
31(6-1) And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
31米底亞 人 大流士 年六十二歲，取了 迦勒底 國。
